Ape went to the small kitchen to help in the evening. She had no errands recently and didn't want to sit around, so she went to help Nanny Zhu and Nanny Xu cook.
The two of them have always cooked the meals for the Crown Princess. Although there are cooks here, the Princess is used to their food and doesn't like other people's food, so the two cooks can only help out after they come.
Lingxiu went to visit Leng Xiao first. He didn't go to the palace often, and his status as a man outside the palace made it difficult for him to come to visit the princess, so this was the first time he paid a formal visit.
Leng Xiao looked at Ling Xiu. He had straight eyebrows, handsome and cold face, and dark skin. It was obvious that he had been running away all year round.
Nangong Yitian said from the side: "I asked this boy today. He doesn't want to marry a girl from the Su family. He said that he would not marry anyone other than A Pei. It's just that his mother is looking for life and death, so he didn't immediately break off the engagement."
This was what Leng Xiao wanted to ask. When Nangong Yitian said this, she felt relieved and said: "Go back and tell your mother properly. There is no need to lose your temper. She doesn't know much, and you didn't know much before." I never told them that you like Appei."
Lingxiu said: "Princess, they knew about Ape originally, but they were all opposed to it."
"Know?" Leng Xiao was a little stunned, "You mentioned it?"
"I mentioned it a little bit." Lingxiu looked a little helpless, "They objected when we mentioned it. They wanted to wait until the situation was more stable before talking about it, but they didn't expect it to cause such a fuss."
"What's the reason they don't like Ape?"
Lingxiu hesitated, he didn't want to say these words, at least he didn't want to say them out of his mouth.
Leng Xiao understood, however, that Ape was a female guard who practiced martial arts. They believed that martial arts training must be vulgar, and when marrying in a general family, they must hope to marry a virtuous and virtuous girl, not someone who wields swords and guns.
The Miss Su family is beautiful and well-educated. Although she is a concubine, considering her family, she is considered acceptable.
After all, Lingxiu's father was not a high-ranking official, and Lingxiu himself was not even an official official of the court.
She didn't ask anymore and called Wenzhu, "Go and call Apei and tell her that I have something to ask her. Don't say anything else."
Ape may not want to see Lingxiu now. If she is told that Lingxiu is here in advance, she may not come to meet him.
Maybe they should have a good talk among themselves. Anyway, with Leng Xiao's abilities, the marriage can be ruined.
Wen Zhu took the order and turned around to go out. After a while, he led A Pei over.
When Ape entered the door, he asked: "Princess, what do you want me to do? I want to make you a roast tonight..."
Seeing the spiritual practice, she was stunned and stopped talking immediately.
There was some resentment in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Lingxiu, are you here? I was thinking of going out to look for you in a few days and congratulate you, but I didn't expect you to come."
Lingxiu looked at her with deep eyes, "Ape, I have a few words to say to you. Can we go out and talk?"
Ape smiled, but he didn't know where to put his hands. He clasped his hands back and forth, "Is there anything you can't say here?"
"Let's talk alone." Lingxiu took a step forward, his tall body covering Apei, "Just for a moment, okay?"
Ape smiled and said, "It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
She didn't want to be alone with him, her mood finally improved a little, and she didn't want to be thrown into chaos again because of what he said.
Because no matter what he said, nothing could change the fact that he was engaged.
Nangong Yitian spoke, "Go out and say it, don't hinder the Crown Princess from resting."
Lingxiu directly took Apei's hand and strode out. Apei shook him hard but failed to shake him off. He dragged him out and said angrily: "What are you doing? Let me go."
