Xu Mengfei was led forward by Xiao Jingheng, her mind going blank.

The only thing she could do now was to look at Jamel Xiao's back and smile foolishly, listening to her own pounding heartbeat.

Qianluo knew what his princess's reaction would be, so he kept a distance from the two of them and followed them silently with a smile.

After arriving at the main hall, Xu Mengfei couldn't help but widen her eyes as she looked at the table filled with a variety of exquisite snacks.

"This...did you prepare all of this for me?"

Xiao Jingheng smiled when he heard this, "Yes, your second brother told me that when you are in a bad mood, you like to eat sweets, and you will feel better after eating them. But I don't know what kind of food you like, so I asked them to prepare some more. These are all very delicious snacks here, some of which you have probably never eaten before. Come and try them, I hope you will be happier after eating them."

After hearing what Xiao Jingheng said, Xu Mengfei was deeply moved.

That day, Xiao Jingheng accompanied her to say goodbye to the second brother. After the brother and sister finished talking, the two grown men said a lot of secrets behind her back, and it turned out that they were all about her.

In order to make her feel better, Jamel Xiao actually prepared so much.

Looking at the dazzling array of exquisite pastries on the table, Xu Mengfei couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow, these pastries are so delicate and colorful. Just looking at them makes people feel better."

Xiao Jingheng smiled slightly when he heard this. His guess was correct. Someone as simple-minded as Xu Mengfei would definitely like such colorful colors.

"The pastry chef of the palace used to work in the imperial kitchen and has excellent craftsmanship. This pastry is not only exquisite in appearance, but also tastes very good. Come and try it."

Xu Mengfei nodded happily when she heard that, and went to pick her favorite snacks with a smile.

Xu Mengfei really likes sweets. She eats the snacks one after another. She is like two different people compared to Xu Mengfei who had no appetite just now.

If it weren't for her limited appetite and being so full that she couldn't eat any more, Xu Mengfei would have tried all the pastries.

Looking at the majority of pastries still left on the table, Xu Mengfei was obviously very regretful.

"My stomach is so disappointing. I feel full after eating just a little bit. There is still a lot that I haven't tasted yet. What a pity."

Xu Mengfei's cute look made Xiao Jingheng laugh, "Your stomach is already big enough, if you eat more you will become a glutton. There is nothing to regret, the pastry chef is always here, she can make it for you anytime you want."

Xu Mengfei was delighted when she heard that. "Really? Then I'm so happy. I used to have a special pastry chef in Dongyuan State, but I think her skills are not as good as this one. The pastries here are more to my taste."

Xiao Jingheng chuckled when he heard this, and said lovingly: “As long as you like it, how about it, are you in a better mood now?”

Xu Mengfei nodded continuously and smiled brightly.

"Much better. Sweets really do make people feel better. Thank you for doing so much for me these days."

After Xu Mengfei finished speaking, she gave Xiao Jingheng a big hug.

Xiao Jingheng was originally listening to Xu Mengfei with a smile, and he did not expect this sudden hug at all.

The sweet body fragrance of a young girl hit his face, and Xiao Jingheng was stunned on the spot.

He had never had such close contact with a woman before, and he was a little overwhelmed.

The girl in his arms was soft and tender, and his chest felt hot where her head touched. This feeling was extremely wonderful and something Xiao Jingheng had never experienced before.

Even though Xu Mengfei's hug to him only lasted for a moment before letting go, this wonderful feeling still lingered in his heart for a long time and could not fade away.

Xu Mengfei didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior just now, and was still thinking about the remaining snacks on the table.

"There are still so many left. This is such a waste. There are so many people in our palace, why not let them have a taste together? Such delicious snacks cannot be wasted."

At this moment, Xiao Jingheng had no time to listen to Xu Mengfei's words. He was staring straight ahead in a daze.

Seeing that Xiao Jingheng did not respond, Xu Mengfei stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, trying to get his attention.

“Xiao Jingheng, Xiao Jingheng, Xiao Jingheng!”

It wasn't until Xu Mengfei turned up the volume that Xiao Jingheng came back to his senses.

"Ah? You called me?"

Xu Mengfei said helplessly: "I have called you several times, but you didn't respond at all. What are you thinking?"

"I...I was just wondering what was in your stomach and why you could eat so much. It doesn't matter what I was thinking. What did you tell me just now?"

Of course, Xiao Jingheng couldn't tell Xu Mengfei what had just happened. He smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

Hearing Xiao Jingheng's question, Xu Mengfei's attention was indeed diverted.

"Oh, I mean there are so many snacks left, it's such a waste. There are so many people in the palace, why not let them taste them together, so as not to waste the pastry chef's kindness."

Xiao Jingheng nodded when he heard this, “Okay, these were originally prepared for you, you have the final say.”

Xu Mengfei was very happy to hear this and said with a smile: "Qianluo, take a few people to distribute these cakes to everyone and let them have a taste."

Qianluo, who had been observing silently at the side, naturally noticed the abnormal behavior of the two people just now, and was very happy for her own princess.

She left at a perfect time, giving them a chance to be alone together.

"Yes, Princess, I will go right away."

As soon as Qianluo left, Xu Mengfei started yawning.

Xu Mengfei stretched and said, "I feel sleepy after eating so much. I'm going to sleep now."

Xiao Jingheng nodded when he heard this, “You haven’t had a good rest these days, go back to sleep.”

Xu Mengfei blinked her big eyes and asked, "What about you? Do you have anything else to deal with?"

These past few days, Xiao Jingheng stayed in the study room until very late and even slept in the study room, so Xu Mengfei asked this question.

There was indeed something going on a few days ago, and Xiao Jingheng didn't know how to face Xu Mengfei, so he simply slept in the study.

But there was really nothing to do today, but Xiao Jingheng still didn't know what to do, and was hesitating whether to find an excuse to hide first.

"I..."

Before Xiao Jingheng could finish speaking, Xu Mengfei interrupted him.

Xu Mengfei looked really tired, and said directly to Xiao Jingheng: "It's okay, go and do what you want, I can do it myself. But don't sleep too late, good night, sweet dreams."

After Xu Mengfei finished speaking, she turned around and walked out, yawning as she walked. It seemed that she was really tired.

Looking at Xu Mengfei's departing back, Xiao Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief.

I have managed to escape today. We’ll talk about what happens next later.
