and son

The manager went back into the study, presented the sugar bag to Pei Jing, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Your Majesty is leaving."

Pei Jing withdrew her gaze from afar, opened the handkerchief, put a piece of candy into her mouth, and said, "He must have misunderstood."

Pei Jing didn't believe that Ah Fu was ordered by Meng Chuji to deliver the candy, so it was more than one plane. He guessed that Meng Chuji wished he could never get in touch with him, but never expected that when the door opened, Meng Chuji hid behind a tree, revealing a piece of gold-woven skirt horns, and half a pink and purple embroidered shoe.

Only then did he realize that the wedding candy was actually given by Meng Chuji.

Pei Jing didn't understand what Meng Chuji meant. He didn't like him but made such a cautious gesture of favor. It's absolutely impossible to be friends, doesn't he understand?

"Your Majesty seemed very angry just now." The steward added another word, "Your Highness, I don't think your Majesty seems to have no intentions towards you."

Pei Jing ate one and was reluctant to eat any more. After wrapping it in a handkerchief, she found a box and put it on. Hearing this, the curve of her lips was gentle and helpless: "Don't say that, I can't help but look for it." he."

The manager didn't want Pei Jing to go to Meng Chuji to reconcile. The master above is in a better mood, and the people below will have a better life, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, the authorities are fascinated."

Pei Jing was silent.

The steward said again: "When a woman is angry, she can say anything with her mouth, not necessarily from the heart. Your Highness, a good man does not fight with a woman, and he should first indulge, pamper, love, endure, and let her go." , Love...you see him again in a few days, can your heart still be made of stone? But if you insist on fighting for a moment, the relationship between husband and wife will be damaged day by day, and it will be too late to regret it."

Pei Jing still frowned and remained silent.

The manager was heartbroken and suggested: "Your Highness, the empress gave you candy to eat. You don't want to be nice to your empress, so you have to return a gift out of courtesy?"

These words seemed to hit Pei Jing's heart, Pei Jing nodded in response: "En."

The steward breathed a sigh of relief, and further proposed: "How about ordering the kitchen to make some pastries? Maybe the empress likes to eat fried chestnuts, so I can send some fried chestnuts to the empress to peel."

Pei Jing caressed the box containing the candies, and in his mind was Meng Chuji's lively and cute appearance leaning on a chair peeling chestnuts, and he replied unconsciously: "Let's fry the chestnuts."

The manager responded with a smile on his face, bowed and was about to step back.

Seeing that he was about to leave the study, Pei Jing couldn't help calling out: "Wait."

The manager stopped and listened respectfully, when he heard Pei Jing ask: "Will he like it?"

The steward smiled calmly: "Your Highness is so kind, who wouldn't like it? It's human nature for a lady to get used to it when she first gets married, and it's human nature to be awkward and have a temper. Why don't you take it as a test, sincerity is rare and long-lasting."

"He doesn't want to be my husband and wife, he just wants to be my friend."

"What's the matter with friends, childhood sweethearts are like brothers and sisters, don't they become a perfect couple later? Those who make big things don't care about small things, as long as you win the heart of your mother in the future, Your Highness, it doesn't matter whether he is a husband and wife or a friend first. , people are by your side, why are you afraid that the future will be long? Your Highness is the crown prince, isn't the art of attacking people's hearts and controlling people, isn't His Highness good at it?"

"..."

Pei Jing was silent for a while, then sighed lightly: "The manager has lived decades longer than me."

Older gingers are more spicy.

The manager showed a modest smile, and left with deep merit and fame.

……

Ah Fu went back and found Meng Chuji sulking on a chair alone.

Why did he know that Meng Chuji was sulking, because Meng Chuji didn't do anything, just crossed his arms and crossed his chest, staring at a melon seed on the ground without taking his eyes off it.

"Master." Ah Fu called out.

Meng Chuji lazily raised his eyelids to look at him: "Are you back?"

Ah Fu scratched his head and said, "Young master, Your Highness has accepted the wedding candy."

Meng Chuji sneered impressively: "Yo, have you learned how to deceive people?"

Ah Fu: "...???"

Meng Chuji asked again: "Where did you throw it?"

Ah Fu couldn't understand, he didn't throw anything where he threw it away.

"Still pretending to be innocent with me. Where did you throw the candy on the way? Pick it up for me. If he doesn't eat the young master, I will eat it."

Meng Chuji got angry when he said that, it's fine if Pei Jing doesn't want his candy, Ah Fu, a stupid girl, has learned to lie to him, do you think he is easy to bully!

"Young Master, I really gave it to Your Highness."

Ah Fu spread his hands, feeling deeply indisputable.

Didn't you read the almanac today, why did you make things difficult for him, a servant, one or two?

Meng Chuji turned his head away, most of his anger dissipated, so let's not embarrass this stupid girl, it's rare for him to think for her once.

At this time, the maidservant in the courtyard came in and said, "Your Majesty."

"what's up?"

"The manager is here."

Hearing the words, Meng Chuji replied, "Okay, I got it."

Then go outside.

The manager doesn't move out easily, so it must be a big deal to come to him specially.

After going out the door, the manager was standing outside as expected, accompanied by a maidservant carrying a food box.

Meng Chuji's eyes fell on the food box, he concealed his unhappiness, and said with a smile: "Hey, what delicious food did you bring me?"

The manager took the food box from the handmaid, opened the lid, and showed it to Meng Chuji.

"Your highness likes the candy that the empress gave to His Highness, so he specially asked me to bring some fried chestnuts to your empress."

Meng Chuji swept over the hot chestnuts, opened his mouth to reveal a golden color, and gave a rare and dignified smile: "Your Highness said that you want to give it?"

The manager nodded and replied, "Exactly."

Meng Chuji reached out and picked one out of the food box, peeled off the mouth, and said, "It's not cooked."

The manager frowned.

"Send it back to His Highness to eat!"

Meng Chuji turned around and left.

The steward finally understood that this was Pei Jing's present report. He saw that Pei Jing refused his candy, and he was not willing to appreciate the fried chestnuts at the moment, so he deliberately slapped Pei Jing.

It's rare that Pei Jing got the hang of it, and Pei Jing's heart can't be broken if he can't do it here, the manager hurriedly stopped Meng Chuji and said: "Madam, His Highness, he accepted your candy and didn't throw it away. I put it in the box and I don't want to eat it. If you don’t believe me, go to the study to have a look.”

Meng Chuji stopped immediately, then turned around and asked, "You really didn't throw it away?"

"Didn't throw it away."

"Hmm——" Meng Chuji pondered, his eyes fell on the round chestnut again, "My sugar was only delivered in a blink of an eye, are you frying this chestnut fast enough?"

"Isn't it because His Majesty has been thinking about the empress wanting to eat chestnuts, so someone fried them a long time ago, and was afraid that the empress would not bring them over while she was still angry?" The steward's mouth was as sweet as honey, "Empress, Your Highness is sorry for that." You are sincere."

Meng Chuji raised the tip of his eyebrows, as if his heart moved.

"My lady..."

Meng Chuji said in a reluctant tone: "Okay, give it to me."

The manager hurriedly put the food box in Meng Chuji's hands, and seeing that Meng Chuji had peeled a chestnut and chewed it to his satisfaction, he said, "Your Majesty, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's time to cut new clothes. People from the Garment Bureau will come tomorrow. You and His Highness both have body measurements, when would it be convenient for you to measure clothes with His Highness?"
