Thinking like this, Xiao Jialan was fascinated for a moment. She suddenly threw the man who was playing the piano to the ground and said: "I still think it is best not to waste the beautiful scenery in this good time."
Yuan Chen: "..."
Happiness came too suddenly, but he liked it very much. It was rare that his Jialan was so enthusiastic, how could he let her down?
Sunset in the west.
In Yanfu.
Xiao Ce looked at the food cooked by Yan Bingying and asked, "How long have you been learning to cook?"
Yan Bingying said: "It's been two months."
Xiao Ce saw that the tip of her nose was still stained with ashes. Looking at the food, he didn't know how it tasted, but the presentation was really hard to describe.
He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. How should I put it, it was barely swallowable but not difficult to swallow.
Yan Bingying said: "If you think it tastes bad, don't eat it. I'll buy some from outside."
“It’s not bad to eat.”
Xiao Ce took a big mouthful and said, "But you better not do it in the future, your hands are not suitable for cooking.
I heard that you used to be a talented girl in the capital, and you must know everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Speaking of the past, Yan Bingying thought of the past again. She said: "No matter how beautiful the past is, it is still the past. No matter how good the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are, it cannot fill the stomach."
Xiao Ce sighed and said: "Actually, the life of the princess was not easy in the past. Although she was the princess at that time, both her parents were dead. The servants in the house deceived her because she was young and stole a lot of money from the house.
But her brother wanted to pretend to be a playboy and didn't care about anything. She had to learn to be a housekeeper and discipline the bad servants at a young age. At that time, she didn't even have a hairpin.
But I have never seen her cry. No matter how much she is wronged, she can face it with a smile. In fact, you and her are very similar, both are very tough women."
Yan Bingying said: "It's all forced by life. I didn't know how expensive tea, rice, oil and salt were before. I thought that with my father and brother taking care of me, I would have no worries about food and clothing all my life. Only when my family broke down did I realize how hard life is.
In fact, I couldn't hold it anymore for a while, even Bai Ling was ready."
She thought about seeking death, but she persisted when she thought of the Yan family.
Her father and brother made mistakes, but she was right. She was the last drop of flesh and blood left in the Yan family, and she could not let go of the ancestors of the Yan family.
So she endured it.
Xiao Ce said: "It will get better. I will be here from now on, so you won't have to worry about it."
Yan Bingying felt warmly moved in her heart when she heard this.
Xiao Ce put down his chopsticks and said to her, "Come closer."
Yan Bingying came closer and saw him reaching out and gently wiping the tip of her nose, and said with a smile: "It's better not to cook in the future, it's really not very delicious."
Yan Bingying's cheeks turned red and she felt a little embarrassed. She said, "I studied very hard, but I just couldn't learn well."
Xiao Ce said: "Then I won't learn. Do you have a piano here?"
Yan Bingying shook her head: "My piano has been sold, why do you ask?"
Xiao Ce smiled and said: "Nothing? I just suddenly want to hear how Miss Yan's piano skills are?"
Yan Bingying said: "Of course she can't compare to the Crown Princess. Her song "Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix" shocked everyone that day. I could tell at that time that she and the Crown Prince are really a good match."
From that time on, her thoughts about Yuan Chen gradually faded away.
The most valuable thing about a person is self-awareness. She knew that she could never compare to Xiao Jialan, so why should she humiliate herself?
Xiao Ce frowned and said, "Why do you have to compete with others? Are you learning piano just to beat others?"
Yan Bingying was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Of course not, it's because I like it."
Xiao Ce smiled slightly: "That's okay, you have to remember that everyone is unique.
Like the princess, you will also meet a man who will hold you in the palm of his hand, protect you, love you and take care of you all your life."
