Gong Yun'ao took a look, took a bite gracefully, and tasted it carefully.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "The color is golden, the aroma is overflowing, the fragrance is sweet and soft, and the fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth."
After finishing the rest in one bite, Gong Yun proudly asked, "What do you think this is called?"
Feeling fresh and curious about unknown things, Shu Yao couldn't help but smile. She repeated: "Egg tart."
"I didn't expect Feng Chen to have such cooking skills."
Shu Yao nodded and said, "Yeah! That's all he has a hobby for."
She couldn't say that he was the champion of the national cooking competition, and it would be troublesome if he was a gangster. "There are more here."
Shu Yao put all the snacks in his hands into his hands and invited him to taste them.
Every time Gong Yun'ao ate something, he was full of praises. He was so young, he could make so many novel delicacies.
Shu Yaowu walked alone in front, hesitated for a long time, suddenly stopped, turned around, faced his deep eyes, and said: "Third brother, there is something I dare not tell you."
Gong Yun'ao asked in confusion: "What's the matter?" She seemed to have something on her mind, and she didn't know what could make her look so solemn and hesitant.
"Third brother, do you remember what I told you last time that the person who killed me was the killer who was bribed by Shu Wanwan from Netherworld Palace?"
Gong Yunao nodded, and Shu Yao continued: "But, do you know? After I rescued you, a group of men in black chased us on the way to escape. I suspect... they are a group.
.”
Hearing this, Gong Yun'ao's face darkened, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "Young sister, do you have any evidence?" He knew very well what she meant by saying such words!
"Only when I have no doubts can I say that I have doubts. Some time ago, Feng Chen and I went to the outskirts to enjoy lotuses and were chased by a group of men in black. During the fight, I used the Qiankun Revolving Knife Formation. The masked man in black glanced at
Then he recognized me and shouted: So it’s you?”
"I have only used this formation three times, twice to save you, and he can recognize it at a glance. It is obvious that we have fought before, so I have this suspicion."
A trace of darkness appeared on Gong Yun'ao's handsome face.
If, as Shu Yao said, the people who hurt him during his escape were the same people who were chasing Shu Yao, then it can be inferred that the people who killed him came from the Netherworld.
So, based on the relationship between Shu Wanwan and Lao Si, Lao Si should be the one who wanted to kill him behind the scenes.
Doesn’t the organization of this Netherworld Mansion have no contact with the imperial court? It seems that the fourth child is inextricably linked to this Netherworld Mansion.
Gong Yun'ao learned of the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly asked: "Yao'er, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Shu Yao blamed herself and said: "I'm worried that the calculation is wrong and it will affect your judgment."
Gong Yun'ao's cold eyes darkened slightly and he said nothing. Shu Yao became a little anxious and called softly: "Third brother?"
Suddenly, Gong Yun'ao retracted his thoughts and responded slowly: "It's okay, it's not too late to tell me now. Third brother also wants to thank you for telling me this. Third brother knows what to do."
After a while, Gong Yun'ao said again: "Also, you have to be careful. If Shu Wanwan doesn't frame you once, there will be another time. Moreover, the fourth child seems to be a kind person, but in fact, he is very scheming. Deep in his heart,
It’s also very dark…”
Seeing him frowning and worried, Shu Yao smiled faintly and said in a pretentious tone:
"Yeah! I know that Shu Wanwan is not a threat to me. Once I find the evidence that she framed me and that old man, I will cut her into pieces."
"Old Taoist?" Gong Yun'ao asked doubtfully.
"Yeah! It's the old man who gave me orders back then."
Gong Yun'ao didn't know why and asked, "What are you looking for him for?"
"Third brother, do you remember that when I was a child, I went to the temple with my mother to offer incense. I secretly told you what the temple blessing said to me, but you gave me a severe scolding?"
"Some impression." Gong Yun'ao nodded and slowly recalled.
So, Shu Yao told him everything about it...
After listening, Gong Yun'ao's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he became even more worried. His big hands touched her slender shoulders, and his words were full of worry:
"An eight-year-old girl can be so scheming and vicious, my dear sister, Third Brother is really worried about leaving you in the Shu family..."
I have to admit that Shu Wanwan looks as clean as a lotus flower, but unfortunately, behind this angelic face, there is a devil's heart.
worried?
Where else can you go if not at Shu’s house?
Shu Yao smiled bitterly in her heart. Is this worry a bit too much?
Shu Yao patted his big palm with her backhand and comforted softly: "Okay! I can handle it."
In this case, Gong Yun'ao said no more. He said uneasily: "Well! Later, give me the portrait of the old man, and the third brother will help you find it."
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something again, and said: "When you enter the palace tomorrow, you will inevitably encounter people who see Hua Shang first and then others. You can bring the jade pendant with you, it will be enough for you."
As he spoke, he took off the jade pendant from his waist, took her little hand and placed it in her palm.
Looking at this jade match, Shu Yao felt that it was too heavy, and she spoke in embarrassment:
"Isn't this too expensive?" She doesn't often enter the palace! What do you want this jade pendant for?
Gong Yunao said in a tone that could not be refused: "Take it, in the future, if you enter the palace, or if you need to see the third brother in an emergency, it will be able to help you."
Seeing that she couldn't postpone it, Shu Yao had no choice but to accept it, "Okay!"
As the sun sets in the west, everyone reluctantly leaves.
Back at Shu Mansion, Shu Yao was so tired that she fell on the bed. Feng Chen muttered with some regret:
"If I had known she had brought the guzheng, I would have brought the mouth organ with me. Maybe we could play the two instruments together."
Shu Yao smiled lazily and couldn't help complaining: "Eh? When you traveled through time, your mouth organ also traveled through time?"
Feng Chen ignored her complaints and replied casually: "You forgot, the harmonium is still in the car. Didn't the car also go with it when we crossed over?"
"Oh! That's it!" Shu Yao was so sleepy that her upper and lower eyelids were fighting.
Zhuxi and Zhuju hurriedly stepped forward, helped Shu Yao up, and reminded: "Miss, I'm going to prepare bath water right now. Don't sleep."
Feng Chen kept lingering, with no intention of leaving. He glanced at Shu Yao, who was dozing off, and asked flatteringly:
"Boss, if you go to the palace tomorrow, how about you also take me to see the world?"
Shu Yao didn't even raise her eyelids, and said half-jokingly: "Okay! You pretend to be my maid!"
Hearing this, Feng Chen laughed angrily, "What? You can think of it."
Shu Yao lay on the bedside, squinting her eyes and yawning, "Then you pretend to be my little eunuch?"
There was nothing else but maids and eunuchs? How could this make him feel so embarrassed?
Feng Chen smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed, "Boss, if you don't play like this, I'll be stunned. Can we talk properly?" "No, get out." After saying that, he fell down again.
Isn't this guy sleepy on the bed? What's the ink stain on there?
Feng Chen was speechless, "Don't blame me for not reminding you that there might be a talent show at the palace banquet tomorrow." Feng Chen dropped these words and turned around to leave.
"What?" Shu Yao exclaimed, her beautiful eyes suddenly opening.
At the door, Feng Chen's gloating voice came: "This is how novels are written! This is how TV shows are done, hahaha..."
Let’s see if you are ready!
Faint!
Can she not go to some bullshit palace banquet?
The next day.
In front of the dressing table, Shu Yao looked at Zhu Xi reluctantly as she pulled her hair into a double bun.
Later, Zhuxi inserted a long silver tassel hairpin diagonally into her bun. Isn't this a bit too grand?
"Miss, please stop pouting. It's hard to get into the palace once. Let's dress up the lady more beautifully. We can't be outdone by that woman!"
Zhuxi was combing her bun and comforting her young lady.
Shu Yao smiled helplessly and said in a low voice: "Be low-key. Your lady doesn't need to be more beautiful than others, nor will she lose to them. It's not good to be too ostentatious."
"Miss, don't worry! I know what I like. I know what my lady likes, which is elegance, lightness, elegance and elegance, and the quality must be good, as I said to my lady."
Zhuju was busy choosing clothes for Shu Yao, and she didn't forget to answer: "Miss doesn't like exaggerated clothes. Miss, you said something, what are you calling flowers?"
Shu Yao answered: "It's all bells and whistles." She chose a good-quality purple jade bracelet in the jewelry box and put it on her wrist.
"Yes, it's just fancy." Zhuju said happily.
After Zhuxi finished painting the last stroke, he showed a little pride on his face and asked: "Okay, miss, do you want to take a look?"
Shu Yao looked in the mirror and looked at it carefully, and felt good. She praised it without hesitation: "It's good, I like it very much. It's exquisite, beautiful, and elegant."
Zhuju praised: "Young lady has good foundation, she doesn't need to wear such heavy makeup."
Zhuxi nodded, full of praise for his lady's beauty, "Our lady's skin is as white as snow, her lips are red without any spots, and her eyebrows are green without paint."
Shu Yao looked at them funny and said, "Did you eat sweets this morning? Are your lips so sweet?"
The two maids said in unison: "No, what the slaves said is true."
"Thank you, you two girls, I like it very much. There is some ink in Zhuxi's belly! Not bad, not bad!"
The two maids were very happy to be praised by their master.
At the same time, I didn’t expect that their young ladies would be so polite to their slaves and even thank them. Isn’t this their duty?
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss."
"Let's go!" Shu Yao changed her clothes and walked out of the door first.
This time the Hundred Flowers Banquet has invited the family members of officials of the third rank or above to participate. The principal wife, the principal wife, will attend. If the principal wife cannot attend, it is okay even if she does not bring them.
However, you must not bring concubines or concubines to participate, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful and a crime of bullying the emperor, so Aunt Han did not come with her.
At the gate of the Shu family, there were two carriages lined up. One was for Shu Shihuai and Mrs. Shu, and the other was for Shu Yao and Shu Wanwan. Everything was ready and they were about to set off.
But who would have expected that Shu Yao had waited for almost half a stick of incense, but the carriage hadn't left yet. She felt puzzled and hurriedly raised her head and asked, "What's going on? You're not leaving yet?"
