Su Qingluan said in her heart that you are just plotting against others, with a smile on your face, so that the other party can thank you and still think about your kindness.
But this cannot be said openly. After all, it would be a bit harmful to say it. What's more, Su Qingluan doesn't think Mu Xingzhi really wants her to say it. Although he has a careless personality, he still has this sense of propriety.
So she said vaguely: "It's nothing, I just felt that you are not an ordinary person from a long time ago, and I can't imagine how respectful you can be to anyone."
In fact, this is not a lie. After all, Su Qingluan really thought about it this way at first.
Mu Xingzhi also understood that Su Qingluan did not say everything he wanted to say, but he would not force it. He only joked: "Why, am I usually very arrogant?"
"It's not that you are arrogant," Su Qingluan shook her head, "I would rather say that you are very kind to others, but... well, it is more distant and kind." Su Qingluan tried to describe the special feeling Mu Xingzhi gave her. .
If Mu Xingzhi wants to, he can make anyone like him, regardless of gender, age or child. This cannot even be summed up by a simple "high emotional intelligence".
Such a person can often discern in an instant what the people he is dealing with need, such as insight, random reflexes, and the ability to deal with others...
In short, Su Qingluan felt that people like Mu Xingzhi, no matter what era they were in or what their background was, would always be extraordinary figures.
Although he knew that Mu Xingzhi was a prince, Su Qingluan's attitude towards Mu Xingzhi and Song Bo remained the same as before - after all, from a utilitarian point of view, if Su Qingluan suddenly showed respect to "Mu Xingzhi", That would make people suspicious.
But the main reason is that Mu Xingzhi and Song Bo's attitude towards Su Qingluan is still the same, and one of Su Qingluan's greatest strengths is that he is easy-going. Since the other party didn't ask her to show a respectful attitude, and he wouldn't deduct her "wages", she naturally didn't bother to put in the effort to ask for trouble.
But everyone has curiosity, including Su Qingluan.
Su Qingluan was not interested in the intrigues in the palace, not to mention that she felt that she should not inquire about the so-called "secrets", but he was very interested in what kind of life was like in the palace - especially eating. aspect.
So after knowing Mu Xingzhi's true identity, Su Qingluan wondered whether he should try it with the legendary real "palace cuisine" to see if he was more familiar with his own cooking.
Of course, the judge could only be Mu Xingzhi, and because Mu Xingzhi had left the court for almost ten years for some reason, Su Qingluan was not sure whether the "referee"'s judgment could be fair and impartial.
However, Su Qingluan didn't really want to compete, but more intended to let Mu Xingzhi provide him with some inspiration. After all, he knew a lot of dishes, and sometimes he couldn't even think of them without someone reminding him. What to do.
During this period, Su Qingluan learned Mu Xingzhi’s real name.
The royal surname of the Sheng Dynasty was Xiao, which was fixed, but Mu Xingzhi’s single name only had the character Huan.
...Although Su Qingluan also knew that this word could be extended to have a meaning similar to "pillar", she could not forget that the original meaning of this word was to represent "pillar", so the name that originally felt elegant and majestic suddenly changed to "pillar". Get a rustic feel.
Su Qingluan held it in for a long time, and finally couldn't help complaining: "I feel that your real name is not as pleasant as the name 'Mu Xingzhi', and the name 'Xingzhi' feels more comfortable. Huan, it's... very heavy Feeling." She thought for a while, but did not say the word "pillar".
"I am the legitimate son, and I bear the expectations of my family." At least the expectations of my mother's family. As for his father, Mu Xingzhi thought that he would not expect anyone except himself - the more he hopes to inherit the throne, the more he will be targeted by his father.
Su Qingluan felt that Mu Xingzhi's eyes darkened for a moment, but when she took a closer look, Mu Xingzhi was smiling again.
Is it her imagination?
"Your mother must have placed heavy expectations on you." Su Qingluan followed Mu Xingzhi's words and said.
However, Mu Xingzhi shook his head: "This name was given by my grandfather."
To be precise, the name of the prince had to be decided by the emperor himself. However, Mu Xingzhi's mother's family was also a famous family at that time. In order to show how much he valued the queen, the old emperor, who was not so dim back then, asked the queen who had already become the prime minister. Mu Xingzhi's grandfather gave him this name.
Su Qingluan couldn't help but sigh after hearing that there were so many details about a name, "It's really not easy, there are so many twists and turns."
"The name 'Mu Xingzhi' was given by my mother." Mu Xingzhi said with a smile, "She hoped that if I could be able in the future, I could be free to do whatever I wanted. 'Mu' is the surname of my maternal ancestor."
Su Qingluan had no mother in her previous life. In this life, she has seen Yang's love and care for her daughter. However, from a psychological perspective, she has long passed the age of needing "maternal love." However, after hearing Mu Xingzhi's words, she still couldn't help but sigh: " You have a good mother."
Mu Xingzhi gave a very rare sneer: "Yes, although my father is not very good."
"Uh..." Su Qingluan's mouth twitched. In fact, she really wanted to comfort the other person along with these words, even if it was just a few polite words. But as an ordinary citizen, she really couldn't say anything good about an emperor who was busy praying for immortals and medicine all day long, building temples for gods and Buddhas, and levying heavy taxes on everyone that made people question their life.
After staring for a long time, Su Qingluan said dryly: "At least you don't have to come forward to show your filial piety, right?"
Perhaps he really didn't expect Su Qingluan's entry point to be so weird. Mu Xingzhi was a little dumbfounded: "You are right."
Ever since Mu Xingzhi revealed his identity in front of Su Qingluan, Su Qingluan began to prepare day and night to leave Huaxi Village - although from the very beginning when Su Qingluan decided to marry Mu Xingzhi, She's already doing it
For example, when preparing a new jam recipe, Su Qingluan will consciously reduce the pace of new product releases - after all, after the brand stabilizes, it is good to have new products every year to maintain the popularity of the brand. It does not mean that the more flavors, the better the sales. It’s about carefully designing matching flavors.
However, the speed of developing new flavors has not slowed down, but Su Qingluan always keeps some new products as "reserve plans" to prevent the jam product from being developed without new products if he goes to the capital in the future. Causes product iteration to stop.
After all, customers love the new and hate the old. Although there will always be an audience for jams with classic flavors, one flavor may be just the "oldest" and even the longest-lasting customers will feel bored.
What's more, Su Qingluan never believed in customers' "long-lasting love", and eye-catching new products were always necessary.
