Chapter 12：

The candlelight in the room was dim, and Pei Yan's shadow was reflected in the window lattice, looking tall and tall.

He walked slowly to the bed, half of the curtain was pulled up with silver hooks, and the other half fell with it.

On the large and soft bed, his little princess was sleeping groggyly.

The sleeping face is still quite regular, he is sideways, with two little hands next to the small milky face, breathing evenly and smoothly, like a lazy little cat in the snow.

Without him by her side, she was obviously more at ease. A long black hair is scattered randomly, and the sleeping clothes are not as tight as usual. Perhaps the weather is getting warmer, and the neckline is open, revealing the lotus-colored pockets inside. Because of the position of lying on the side, it looks bulging...

Warm candlelight sprinkled on her jade-like white skin through the smoky purple curtain, adding a little hazy ambiguity for no reason.

Pei Yanshi Shiran sat on the side of the bed with his head hanging down slightly.

Clean and slender fingers, gently stroked her cheek.

Perhaps his fingers were too cold, Tao Ti's slender eyelashes were slightly lightened, and his two thinly curved eyebrows wrinkled.

Pei Yan didn't worry that she would wake up after putting medicine in the incense.

Her hands with distinct knuckles touched Tao Ti's cheek little by little. From the roots of her forehead, behind her ears, and chin, her skin was tender, like a peeled egg shell. He subconsciously didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that one accident would hurt her delicate little face.

Such a meticulous and gentle movement, like the most affectionate man in the world, is gently caressing his cherished sweetheart-if his deep eyes are not full of indifference.

There is no human skin mask.

Pei Yan retracted his hand, his black eyes drooped, staring at the delicate and beautiful face in front of him, and remembering her vivid little expressions in the past.

Also, if there is a human skin mask, how can he not see the slightest clue if he has slept with her for so many days?

What happened to her various performances since entering the Eastern Palace?

Or does it mean that there are people who look exactly the same in this world?

The person who was still in love with Pei Changzhou before, was tender and caring for himself in a blink of an eye...whatever he thought, I felt that something was wrong.

Pei Yan thought quietly, his deep gaze was a bit mocking.

He suddenly squeezed her small chin, his black eyes were stained with a dangerous dark color, and his voice was low and slow, "Is this your strategy with him?"

The person on the bed is asleep, unsuspectingly innocent and innocent.

"If you've been so obedient, loneliness can keep you alive."

Pei Yan whispered, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of her arm hanging outside, white and tender, just like a piece of fresh snow lotus root.

His eyes darkened suddenly.

After sitting still for a while, he stretched out his hand to cover her with the quilt and stood up.

The curtain was put down again.

The sound of footsteps, the sound of closing doors, and then everything returned to silence, as if no one had ever been here.

—

Tao Ti's spirit is extremely good when he wakes up naturally after sleeping.

When Linglong got up early to help her make-up, she took a sunflower-patterned silver hairpin and compared it to her hair bun, and asked casually, "How did you taste the bread yesterday?"

Linglong took the grate's hand for a while, her thoughts turned, and she calmly said, "...The prince's work is naturally excellent."

"I didn't put too much sugar yesterday, I thought you would feel that the taste is weak." Tao Ti said to herself, "I can bake some other things today, well, the dried pork is good. There are also candied fruit, the honey is too sweet. Now, it takes a long time to take a bite. No wonder your Royal Highness doesn’t like it... I just made it all at once today. If I make it sooner, he can also take it with the medicine earlier."

Linglong said softly, "The princess likes cooking?"

Tao Ti looked at herself in the mirror, and replied casually, "I don't have any other hobbies, so I like to eat a bite."

In modern times, you can also find friends to play, feasting, visiting shops and checking in, happy like a fairy. Now in this ancient time with hands and feet, she still bears the identity of a princess, father does not love his mother or loves his mother, and the black history is difficult to wash away... Besides tossing on food, what else can she do?

After that, Linglong didn't speak any more, only quietly dressing Tao Ti.

After lunch, Tao Ti headed into the kitchen.

The ingredients in the small kitchen are the best, and it is best to use fresh pork hind legs to make pork breasts, carefully remove the bones, and only take the whole piece of pure lean meat.

Tao Ti picked up the ingredients and wanted Zishuang to chop the minced meat, but Zishuang dismissed the pork as it was fishy and sticky. Tao Ti didn't force her, so she asked Linglong to chop it.

Linglong got started without saying a word, and Zishuang regretted at this moment, and hurriedly followed Tao Ti, "Master, can you let the slave and maid do something else?"

Tao Ti thought that she was the close-knit maid that the original owner grew up with when she was a child. Maybe she was used to being arrogant and indulged by the original owner before to develop the temperament she is now. After thinking for a moment, she pointed to the basket of fresh and full fruits on the table. Then you go and wash the fruits, peel the ginger, peel the hawthorn and apricots, and remove the seeds from the kumquats."

"Okay, the maidservant will go now." Zishuang promised hurriedly, carrying the fruit and going to wash.

Pork preserves and preserves are not difficult to make, but Linglong and Zishuang help make it even more effective.

Not long after, the Yaoguang Hall was filled with fragrance again, for a while it was roasted meat, and then it was a fresh and sweet fruit fragrance. The two fragrances blended together, and the greedy palace people inside and outside the palace swallowed secretly.

"I don't know what the princess did today? It seems more fragrant than yesterday?"

"It seems to be pork and preserves? Oh, the little six who was on the job yesterday divided me half of the cake baked by the princess princess. Tsk tsk, the taste and texture are really amazing! I don't know if I can taste it today? "

"It's so beautiful for you, the princess made something personally, thank goodness once you eat it."

"Hey, it seems that our crown princess is not useless, at least the cooking skills are good. I heard that the pastry she sent to the Zixiao Palace yesterday, Song Taifu and the others said it was good."

The spring is melting, the swallows fly diagonally, and the quiet time in the afternoon becomes more gentle due to the aroma of the food.

When the sun is fading, the pork jerky and preserves are ready.

Tao Ti plans to personally send it to the Purple Heaven Hall this time. In other words, she is also the prince. She has been to the East Palace for several days, except for the Yaoguang Hall and the dining room, she knows nothing about other places. Anyway, idle is idle, it is better to take advantage of this good spring, step on the map and get familiar with the living environment.

Zishuang also wanted to go with him, Tao Ti asked her, "Are you familiar with the road of the East Palace?"

Zishuang, "..."

Seeing her speechless, Tao Ti wondered if she had acted too coldly, not as dependent on her as the original owner, so Zishuang had only been so free recently?

Alas, she has never been a leader before, how to balance the psychology of new and old employees... well, she still has to think about it.

After a moment of silence, she said to Zishuang, "Linglong will take me to familiarize myself with the road this time, and I will take you out next time."

Zishuang heard the words and said hurriedly, "The slave and maid got it."

My heart is calmer, it seems that the master still cares about himself.

Linglong, who had packed up her food container, walked over, just to see this scene, and frowned slightly. She didn't say much, she just walked to Tao Ti's side and looked down and obediently said, "Prince Concubine, everything is ready to eat."

Tao Ti gave a soft "um", and the master and servant went out together.
