Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

"Oh? Why did I hear Mingyue say that you prepared this for grilled fish?"

Xia Chuntao slowly looked at Princess Mingyue, who quickly hid her head behind the queen like an ostrich.

"Well...the chili water is mainly used for defense, and then...it's used to grill fish." Xia Chuntao didn't have any other solution except to explain it hard.

The last thing she wants to hear now is: "Listen to Mingyue..."

To be honest, can I still have a friend like this?

A laugh of "Pfft" interrupted Xia Chuntao's immature "resentment".

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back for a moment," Wei Tingzhou confessed to the emperor's uncle.

Although he was apologizing, he looked at Xia Chuntao with a smile.

Xia Chuntao was puzzled. Why was she looking at her? Is there flowers on her face?

Also, was what she said funny?

Therefore, Xia Chuntao kept a serious face and looked straight away, like a telegraph pole without emotion.

Originally, the eldest princess had doubts about her son's relationship with this civilian woman, but looking at Xia Chuntao's expression, it didn't look like she knew her son.

Princess Pingyang on the side only felt that this village woman looked annoying and spoke vulgarly. She didn't know how she got her brother's favor? I don't know why, but the first sight of this village woman made her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Father, Sister Xia will return to her hometown in a few days. I don't know when she will be able to come again. Please let me seize the time to play with Sister Xia for a while." Mingyue pulled the emperor's sleeves and acted coquettishly.

If it weren't for her father, she would have been playing with Sister Xia for a long time now.

The emperor tapped Mingyue's forehead, "What, do you think your father is in the way?"

"No way! Queen mother, look at it, my father has made false accusations again." Mingyue complained angrily to the queen.

The queen showed a loving smile and turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, let Mingyue take Xiaoxia to play in her palace."

Xia Chuntao felt quite emotional watching the family interact.

She has read many palace battles, but she has never seen such a harmonious emperor and empress in any palace. Of course, it's possible that she saw it one-sidedly. But no matter what, Princess Mingyue must be a girl who grew up in a honeypot. You can tell by the way she communicates with the emperor.

Mingyue is blessed, and her Xia Chuntao's fortune is not bad either! This is what is said, everyone has his own destiny.

After spending two hours eating, drinking and having fun in Mingyue Palace, Xia Chuntao finally said goodbye to Mingyue.

"Sister Xia, when will you come to the capital again?" Mingyue pulled Xia Chuntao's arm reluctantly.

It's rare for Mingyue to meet a friend who is interested in her. The key is that this friend treats her like an ordinary person. This is something Mingyue has never experienced in her more than ten years of life. It's a pity that Xia Chuntao is about to go home not long after we met.

"I will definitely come, and I may bring my whole family to you. Do you welcome me?"

"Of course!" Mingyue tugged on Xia Chuntao's sleeve and shook it, "Sister Xia keeps her word, you must come to see me early!"

"Keep your word." Xia Chuntao smiled and hooked up with Mingyue, "I will send you a gift when I return to my hometown."

Mingyue nodded happily, glanced at Ling Qingxuan who was waiting at the palace gate, approached Xia Chuntao and asked, "Sister Xia, you and Prince Ling..."

Xia Chuntao coughed and said, "Children, please don't meddle in adults' affairs."

"I'm not a child. My father and mother have already started choosing a husband for me!"

Xia Chuntao was stunned for a moment. She almost forgot that it was very common for girls here to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and the original owner married Chen Xiucai at this age.

So, why hasn’t the crown prince gotten married yet?

Ling Qingxuan seemed to feel something and looked towards Xia Chuntao. Their eyes happened to meet. The moment Ling Qingxuan's cold face saw Xia Chuntao, a gentle smile appeared silently.

Mingyue's little eyes shuttled back and forth between the two of them.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn’t expect Commander Ling to laugh.

She said, there must be something fishy between these two people, let’s take a look!

By the way, am I a little redundant here?

So sad, I feel like my new friend is about to be abducted by the big bad wolf...

The two reluctantly said goodbye. To be precise, two days after Mingyue said goodbye unilaterally, Xia Chuntao got on the carriage home and left the capital.

The day before leaving the capital, Xia Chuntao unexpectedly ran into Wei Tingzhou on the street. She didn't believe there was such a coincidence in the world, so...

When Wei Tingzhou looked at her with the surprised look of "meeting an old friend in a foreign land" and said to her, "What a coincidence, I can meet Sister Xia here", she also looked at her with the look of "how could I meet her here?" "Prince"'s unbelievable and slightly exaggerated look won the audience.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes. What kind of chatting are you doing here with me?

As soon as Wei Tingzhou saw Xia Chuntao's expression, he knew that he had messed up the chance encounter. He could only lick his face and smile at Xia Chuntao, "Sister Xia is still so humorous."

Xia Chuntao rolled her eyes at him rudely, "What do you want from me?"

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?" Wei Tingzhou said a little aggrieved, "Sister Xia, you didn't treat me like this before."

Xia Chuntao glanced at Wei Tingzhou. She hadn't seen him for a year. The child had grown taller and stronger. Even his face, which had red lips and white teeth, gradually became angular. This child has begun to take on the shape of an adult man.

It turns out that a lot will change in one year.

She used to treat him as her younger brother. One reason was that Xia Chuntao had just come here not long ago, and she subconsciously felt that children aged fifteen or sixteen were really children. The other reason was that at that time, Wei Tingzhou was cute and not oppressive, so she treated him as a child. It’s time to play.

Now... to be honest, it's not appropriate to treat him as a child anymore.

At that time, Xia Chuntao was eating noodles at a stall outside, and Wei Tingzhou was sitting opposite her.

Xia Chuntao asked Wei Tingzhou, "Would you like some noodles? I'll take it."

"Okay!"

"Boss, let's have another bowl of noodles, without adding spicy food."

The two of them sat opposite each other, sucking on the noodles.

Wei Tingzhou suddenly remembered that when he was in Xiyang, Xia Chuntao also ate at a stall when he accompanied him to the West Market. What he ate was a bowl of wontons. He could no longer remember what the wontons tasted like, but in his heart, that The wonton bowl is the best.

Now the two of them are sitting across from each other, each with a bowl of noodles, as if they have returned to the scene at that time.

Wei Tingzhou was very happy that Xia Chuntao was not alienated from him because of his identity.

However, this joy did not last long.

After the two of them finished eating the noodles, Xia Chuntao said seriously: "Prince Wei, although you call me sister, in the capital, it's better for us to keep our distance."

Wei Tingzhou was obviously stunned.

"You used to call me 'Little Wei', why do you call me that now?"

"You didn't tell me that you were the emperor's nephew originally. Now that I know, of course I have to call you Crown Prince."

Wei Tingzhou felt a little guilty. He didn't expect to see Xia Chuntao in the palace!
