Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

After returning to the Princess's Mansion, the servants sent by the Emperor had already arrived.

Chu Xiaoran felt relieved only after he asked them to clean the princess's mansion from top to bottom, inside and out.

This place has been empty and no one lived here, so some of the yard still needs to be renovated.

Nan Jinming took on the job first and sent people out to find some people to repair the house.

When they had free time, the two of them sat in the garden and drank tea.

An oven was set up in the pavilion in the garden, with a ceramic pot on top, boiling goat milk and tea and mixing them together.

Nan Jinming didn’t know there was such a way to eat it. It was Qingyu who told him about it, so he decided to let the two masters have a taste of it today.

The reason why Qingyu could identify with Nan Jinming was probably because she had heard about their past experiences around them.

If it weren't for the woman in front of her, Her Royal Highness the Princess would probably not know where she would be now.

"Qingyu, what is this thing you made?"

Chu Xiaoran looked at the goat milk in front of him, which had a faint scent of tea.

Although all the tea leaves have been drained out, the rich aroma of the tea mixed with the goat milk exudes an enticing flavor with a hint of sweetness and the fragrance of tea leaves.

"This is the famous brewed tea here. Princess, you must have never tasted it before. This must be your first time drinking it. Come and taste my cooking skills."

Qingyu said with a smile, and put the cup in her hand in front of Chu Xiaoran.

The aroma was very tempting. Chu Xiaoran picked up the cup and started drinking, taking a sip.

"It has a light tea aroma, and underneath that is the sweetness of goat milk. It's really delicious."

Chu Xiaoran raised his eyebrows slightly. He had heard that the North was very famous for brewing tea, and the habit of eating mutton and beef in big mouthfuls in the North always had a heroic spirit in it.

“This brewed tea is really good.”

Nan Jinming took a sip and then praised it.

Qingyu raised her chin very proudly. Even the Emperor and His Highness Fengjun liked her very much.

As the saying goes, he has learned this skill for as many years as he has been in the palace, and has used it for as many years, so he still knows some ways to please his master.

"If you like, Master, I will make tea for you every day from now on."

Chu Xiaoran smiled and nodded.

"Then trouble you."

"This house seems to be quite old. Some of the wood in the backyard has rotted, so we'll send a carpenter to repair it."

Nan Jinming put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about these things. I have sent people to deal with them. Once the backyard is repaired, it can be used as a residence for the servants."

Although Nan Jinming did not trust the people sent by the emperor, it was better to have no one at all. So in front of them, he always appeared beside Chu Xiaoran as an old friend.

Therefore, Qingyu is probably the only one in the entire Princess's Mansion who knows about their relationship.

"Qingyu, please don't tell anyone about our identities, lest you cause unnecessary trouble."

Qingyu quickly stood up and looked at Chu Xiaoran in front of her with horror.

Chu Xiaoran seldom spoke so seriously, because he had always been kind to her, and she thought he was a gentle master.

I didn't expect that there would be such pressure in his words.

Chu Xiaoran frowned in confusion, stretched out his fingers, tapped the table lightly, indicating that he could sit down.

"I'm telling you this because I hope you can keep our relationship a secret. It's not the time to make it public yet, so I hope you can help me."

"Those servants were sent by my aunt, and they may have been bribed. Although they won't harm me, I hope you can keep it a secret from them."

Qingyu nodded quickly.

"Princess, you don't want to rest assured about this matter? I will naturally help you keep this secret. Besides, you are now attracting much attention in Yu Country, and if it is suddenly exposed, whether you have been married for a long time or not, it will be bad for your reputation, so I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

The people sent by the emperor are still not trustworthy. There will definitely be one or two of them who will betray you.

Nan Jinming stretched out her fingers and gently rubbed the edge of the teacup in front of her. The feeling of friction was transmitted to her brain through her fingers, and she pursed her lips.

Qingyu, who was standing next to him, shuddered and felt a little nervous when she was stared at.

Qingyu complained silently, she was just a servant who was assigned to be by the princess' side, so of course she had to do her duty as a servant.

But what does it mean that the two of them are looking at me like this now?

How could it be possible that they were afraid that I would betray them?

"Don't worry, Princess. Qingyu is absolutely loyal to you. As for whether there are spies among the group of people coming here, I will definitely keep a close eye on them. Princess, please rest assured."

Chu Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that this was somewhat difficult for him. After all, Qingyu was protected too well by her aunt.

But why?

In such a chaotic palace, Qingyu is like a clear stream, uncontaminated by the world, and simple and lovely.

The snow outside was falling heavily. Sometimes it was heavy, like goose feathers, and sometimes it was smaller. The snowflakes looked beautiful.
