Xiaoying blushed as she pushed Jiang Yuyan away and whispered, “Don’t shout.”

“Oh, oh, I forgot. There are guests in the house!”

Li Shuang ‘er was so scared that she stuck out her tongue and craned her neck to look into the room. She was very nervous and afraid she would disturb the distinguished guests.

“Where are the tea leaves?”

Xiaoying asked her softly. Li Shuang ‘er then remembered to pass the tea leaves to Xiaoying.

“When Lord Xing heard that we would entertain the prince, he took out all his treasures.”

“Alright.”

Xiaoying took a whiff and found that the tea leaves were very fragrant. It was high-quality mountain tea, but the Li family didn’t have tea bowls and only had rough porcelain bowls. How could they serve guests like this? She asked Li Shuang ‘er.

“Did you bring the teacup?” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N(o)vel(F)ire

“Yes, Lord Xing was thoughtful and sent a bailiff to bring his good tea set over.” Li Shuang ‘er nodded. The bailiff was at the door and did not come in. She went out and shouted before she dared to enter the house.

“You don’t need me, right? I’ll go help Sister Su Qing cook.”

Li Shuang ‘er did not want to go in. She was afraid that her lack of etiquette would make the guests unhappy. She would instead cook with Su Qing. It had been long since she had cooked with Sister Su Qing. She missed the days when they were together. She could be with her every day, learning to shoot arrows learn to embroider and learn to pick herbs. Although those days were hard, they were happy.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t bring it back!

“Alright.”

Xiaoying nodded and began to concentrate on making tea. Although they lived a poor life in Peach Blossom Cove, her godfather had the habit of drinking tea and was very particular about it. He even deliberately taught Xiaoying how to wash tea and make tea.

Therefore, Xiaoying was very good at brewing tea. One had to calm down and do this kind of work at a moderate pace. Only then would the tea be sweet and delicious, with an endless aftertaste.

Xiaoying was very attentive. The tea set was cleaned with hot water, and the tea leaves were placed into the teapot and poured in hot water to wash the tea before pouring in hot water to make tea…

The water quality in Mo City was excellent, and the tea that was brewed was fragrant. Yelu Chun’s heart was already outside the house, so when he smelled the fragrant tea, he couldn’t help but say, “What fragrant tea!”

“Not bad.”

Xiao Zeyu also nodded in agreement when he smelled it. He was curious about where her family got such good tea. ‘Did Aunt Li have such good tea brewing skills?’

When Xiaoying heard them talking in the room, she lost her composure. Her hand shook, and the tea spilled out, scalding the back of her hand. It turned red at that moment, and it hurt so much that she sucked in a breath of air.

Su Qing happened to see it when she entered. She quickly walked over and asked with concern, “Xiaoying, are you scalded?”

“I didn’t notice that the water spilled out.”

Xiaoying nodded. The burn on the back of her hand was burning, and it hurt so much that she frowned.

“I have burn medicine here.”

Su Qing quickly took a burn medicine mixed with concha oil from the system and applied it to the back of Xiaoying’s hand.

When Yelu Chun heard this, he couldn’t sit still anymore. He anxiously looked outside the room. He was sitting in the room, but his heart had already flown to Xiaoying’s side.

It was only because of Xiao Zeyu that he did not rush out immediately.

SU Qing’s medicine was very effective. After applying the medicine, the burning pain disappeared. Xiaoying picked up the tea tray and was about to send it into the house. Su Qing was worried about her and stopped her. She carried the tea tray into the house.

Xiaoying stood outside the room and looked at the door. Without the tea tray, she had no excuse to enter the room. She could not see Yelii Chun in the room.

Su Qing placed the tea tray on the Kang table and said to the Third Prince, “Third Prince, drink some tea first. Wait a moment. There is mutton roasting in the courtyard. They will catch live fish from the river in a while, and I will make a fish pot for you.”

No one had ever eaten a fish pot before, not even Xiao Zeyu. After listening to his wife, he yearned for it. He was waiting for delicious food, which required time and patience. He had plenty of patience because he feared the Third Prince would be hungry. He asked Su Qing to send some refreshments to fill his stomach first.

“^Su Qing, get someone to send some refreshments over.”

Xiaoying’s eyes lit up when she heard her brother’s words. She turned around and ran out. There was a shop in Mo City that specialized in selling pastries.

The family came from Jiangnan. After they took root in Mo City, they started to make pastries. Their business was perfect.

Su Qing agreed and walked out of the room. However, before she could tell Xiaoying, she had already run away. This girl was too concerned about Yelu Chun.

In the world of love, only those who were liked were happy. Xiaoying liked Yelii Chun more. Thinking of how many resentful women were in the palace, Su Qing could not help but frown.

Now that she could not stop her, she worried for Xiaoying.

On one side, Su Qing was roasting a lamb and serving Yelu Chun. On the other side, Zhong Yong held a red tassel spear and an axe, carrying a big basket on his back. Jiang Yuyan wanted to help him share the burden, but he didn’t let her. He let her follow him lightly.

You can put the fish into the basket when I’m done.”

Zhong Yong said to Jiang Yuyan, then added, “Stay away from the ice hole. Don’t fall in.”

This included Zhong Yong’s words of concern. Jiang Yuyan’s heart was filled with sweetness as she pursed her lips and agreed, “Alright, I’ll be careful.”

Zhong Yong was still worried and asked her to follow behind him.

Jiang Yuyan looked at Zhong Yong’s tall back and felt a sense of happiness from being protected.

The man she liked was a man of few words but a warm-hearted man. He knew how to care for her!

Jiang Yuyan’s heart was racing. She didn’t see Zhong Yong stop and bumped into his back. Zhong Yong’s back was as hard as iron and wasn’t a light bump Jiang Yuyan covered her nose and squatted on the ground. Bright red blood flowed from the gaps in her hands, dripping onto the ice and turning into red roses.

“You… Are you bleeding?”

Zhong Yong was just about to scold Jiang Yuyan for not watching where she was walking when he saw that Jiang Yuyan was bleeding from her nose. He immediately panicked. As a man, he didn’t have the habit of wearing a silk handkerchief. In desperation, he lifted his cotton jacket and tore his white underwear.

Jiang Yuyan looked up and saw him lifting his cotton jacket. She was so scared that she quickly lowered her head. Her face instantly turned red, and her heart beat like a drum.

Zhong Yong didn’t know that his actions had made Jiang Yuyan shy. He tore off his shirt and handed it to her, saying anxiously, “Quickly use this to block it.” Jiang Yuyan reached out to grab the cloth and stuffed it into her nose. Zhong Yong’s scent instantly filled her nostrils, and the strong scent of hormones made Jiang Yuyan’s heart go out of control.

“Don’t move around. I’ll go dig the ice.”

Zhong Yong was anxious to dig a hole in the ice to catch the fish, but he was worried about Jiang Yuyan and told her not to move.

Jiang Yuyan saw his concern for her, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She was afraid he would see her face covered in blood, so she lowered her head and acknowledged him.

“Alright, don’t move. I’ll be back soon.”

After hearing Jiang Yuyan’s agreement, Zhong Yong walked towards the center of the river. Usually, the big fish were in the river, and the ones beside them were all small fish.

He came to the center of the river, raised his giant axe, and bombarded the ice He was born with great strength, and the axe was heavy enough to dig a hole in the ice.

Zhong Yong sprinkled some fish food into the pond, and soon, a group of hungry fish popped up to eat. Zhong Yong held his silver spear and waited with bated breath. As soon as the fish appeared, he stabbed down with his spear. He stabbed a big fish quickly and accurately. With a swing of his spear, the fish fell onto the ice and went limp.

“Jiang Yuyan, you…”

Zhong Yong turned around to look for Jiang Yuyan, but where was her shadow on the river?
