Chapter 21 Osmanthus Cake Given by Prince Jing

After staying in bed for a while, he was about to call Dai'er to talk when he heard someone coming up the stairs in a hurry. Xia Taoyuan got up to see what was going on and saw Yu'er carrying an exquisite food box and walking into the room with a smile on her face, followed by Zhu'er, Cui'er and Dai'er.

Xia Taoyuan looked at them suspiciously, her eyes fixed on the food box. It was a small vermilion food box with orchids outlined in gold pen on the box body, beautiful and exquisite, high-end and elegant. She wondered what these girls were doing, because they usually didn't bring food from the kitchen in the food box in front of them.

Dai'er was the youngest, and she couldn't hide her words either, her face full of joy: "Miss, this is from the palace, Prince Jing is so kind!"

"This was just delivered by Long Yan from Prince Jing's Mansion. He said it was made by the palace's newly hired chef. Let the young lady try it." Zhu'er said on the side.

Cui Er also said: "Not only did I send one to the young lady, I also sent one to the lady."

"What is that? Open it and take a look." Xia Taoyuan was very curious.

Yu'er opened the food box, and a faint sweet fragrance came to her nose. There were a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes neatly placed in the food box. Xia Taoyuan picked up a piece and took a bite. It was soft, sweet, and soft in the mouth. The taste was unique. She often bought sweet-scented osmanthus cakes before, but they were far inferior to this.

After Xia Taoyuan finished a piece, she was still not satisfied, so she ate another piece. She wanted to eat more, looked at the expectant eyes of the four maids, and waved her hand: "The rest is for you."

The four maids happily took a piece each and tasted it carefully. They all praised it highly. It was indeed osmanthus cake made by the chef of the palace. It was delicious. Xia Taoyuan laughed and scolded: "You guys are eating your own food. Isn't the one made by the prime minister's palace delicious?"

A few maids were laughing and gossiping one after another, saying how considerate Prince Jing was and how the young lady would enjoy a good life if she married him.

Xia Taoyuan was annoyed by their noise and went to the study. She was still very happy in her heart. Although Chu Xingluo was extremely cold, he was still very thoughtful. But she thought again, maybe it was to cover up the fact that he broke into the Xiangfu Mansion last night. Thinking of this, she was a little angry again. Why did he break into the Xiangfu Lady's boudoir in the middle of the night?

She was drunk last night, and she didn't remember when Chu Xingluo left or how she got back to her room. No, she had to find out. This time she discovered it herself, but had he come before when she didn't discover it?

If Chu Xingluo had been here before, had he been here before Wei Zhiying left? This was very likely. After the emperor arranged the marriage, Chu Xingluo wanted to see his future wife, so it was not impossible for him to come to the prime minister's residence secretly to see her. If he came here often, would he know that he was a fake? The more Xia Taoyuan thought about it, the more frightened she became.

No, she had to go to Prince Jing's mansion to test Chu Xingluo. Xia Taoyuan couldn't wait any longer. But she was still dizzy, and it would be too abrupt to go to someone who had just delivered the osmanthus cake.

Xia Taoyuan tried to calm herself down. She thought again, if Chu Xingluo found out that she was not Wei Zhiying, why would he send someone to deliver sweet-scented osmanthus cake? And why didn't he tell her? She comforted herself not to be too nervous, maybe this was Chu Xingluo's first time here, and she was thinking too much.

Xia Taoyuan struggled with her thoughts for the whole day. She wanted to consult Wei Jinghe about what to do. But Wei Jinghe was helping the prime minister and was not in the mansion.

Finally, she decided to wait until tomorrow to visit Prince Jing's mansion, using the excuse of thanking Prince Jing for his kindness.
