all about it.But he still asked in a somewhat surprised tone, "You don't know who he is"Yang Feifei shook her head.Ning Shu couldn't help but say: "He is General Fu."Yang Feifei exclaimed in surprise,...Xue Ce stared at the person and then spoke, "About that thing I sent you last month, did you like it"

Since I've been in frequent contact with Prince Xue, something feels off. To be precise, I can't pinpoint what exactly is strange about it. It just doesn't sit right with me.

Besides, some people said it wasn't true: "What doesn't the Nan Wangfu have As for the young master's thoughts, how could we possibly guess at will"

Another person chimed in, "Who knows what's going on at the Southern Prince's Mansion We shouldn't speculate about the Young Master's thoughts so easily."

Before I could even think of a response, Qing Zhu chimed in. It wasn't that she had seen through Master's predicament; rather, she quickly hardened her resolve and hastily said, "Master, both Father and Mother were very worried after they learned you were ill."

......

Qingzhu's expression was one of surprise, stammering as if there were something difficult to say.

When I saw the Prince taking Master away, I was afraid that the Prince would do something to him. So I hurried back to report to Lord Ning, who, being a loving father, was greatly distressed when he heard that his eldest son had offended the Prince and been taken away by him.

I shook my head and said, "I don't think it was done by any of the students. If it wasn't a trap set for us, they would have come out laughing at us once we succeeded, but they didn't. Those students were very angry, accusing us falsely, and even had a big fight with us today."

Ning Shu shook her head and said, "The Prince Xue brought me into the mansion, please ask the imperial physician to treat me."

It's not just that I recently retrieved that jade hairpin.

Because my health was not good, I had everyone at home rest for a day before going to the Zongfu.

Ning Yun's heart pounded, but she didn't smile yet: "Okay." I took it up, not a bit shy, and laughed: "This was left to me by my mother at home."

In the end, it was never discovered which student had played the prank. The matter simply dropped. However, the recipe for the hotpot spread, and according to rumors, even the fifth prince became addicted after trying it once.

Several students looked at the jade hairpin and felt that it wasn't an ordinary thing. According to Gan Ningyun's family, they were just ordinary people, how could they have such a good jade hairpin

He suddenly stood up, but it wasn't just the black-clad youth. His back was tinged with a few more points of coldness.

But the prince, after all, was not a member of the imperial family and did not receive the same favor as they.

But the jade hairpin wasn't just known to have been pulled out from somewhere. Only a slender hand reached out and took it. Ning Yun looked up, and saw the young man in black standing before her.

I explained the whole story to my father, and that brought an end to it.

Several students saw the jade hairpin on Ning Yun's head and were surprised. They crowded around and said, "This jade is common; it's not high-quality or a good hairpin."

Ning Shu looked at my forehead. It wasn't too disfigured, just a little scratch that would heal with some care. Yu was not very comforting, but said a few words nonetheless.

"Qīngzhú chūbiān bi qiǎngdào: 'Shàojiě, wǒmen zhǐ zhi dào, wǒmen tūrán yūn dào. Nà Xuē shìzi jiù zhīdào cóng nǎlǐ chūlái, èr huà jiù gàn jiù jiāng wǒmen dài zǒu le, kě xià sǐwǒ le. Shìzi méi duì wǒmen zuò dìng bā.'"

"Young master, I didn't mean to cause trouble, did I"

Ning Yun was tense, her nails digging into her flesh. But she quickly replied, "My mother's family wasn't involved in business before. After she got married, she brought a lot of dowry. After I came to the capital, I gave all those things to my father."

"Seeing me like this, Ning Shu's heart should be at ease. I foresee: 'Qingzhu, why would we do such a thing' with an expression."

.......

I recalled that the other month I was with the Prince, you probably still know him well.

After all, I have a volatile temper. Although I've never been accused of taking lives carelessly, those wealthy young masters who offend me flee in terror like mice seeing a cat.

.....

Zhang Gu'an said honestly: "I just want to stop here, but this person is not a deep-minded person. They eat people and spit out their bones."

: "...." Who has provoked my younger brother again.

Yu was not in a hurry to enter the palace, but asked the prince to return his eldest son.

Actually, even if his father was in charge, Ning Shu wasn't without this intention either.

Ning Shu, being stared at by me until her scalp went numb, opened her mouth and said, “So you know that Young Master wasn’t thinking of anything”

Upon further questioning, it turned out that the household minister's son, Ning Shu, had surprisingly started a business called "Hotpot Dishes". The taste was truly exceptional, so good that one couldn't help but want more.

Moreover, according to the students of Gannalanxuan Hall who learned from Ning Shu's book, the recipe was not generously shared with us.

"The value is paltry."

Ning Shu blinked her eyes and also felt that something was amiss: "Then who do you think did it"

I haven't said a few words.

This matter reached the ears of the fifth prince.

Ning Shu rubbed her forehead and sighed, "I'll do it when I get back."

Ning Shu listened, and was stunned. Unexpectedly, so many things had happened. She blinked: "So, Father is not in the palace now"

Lord Ning probably knows why Young Master Xue took my eldest son away to see a doctor. I hear that Young Master Xue is known for associating with people often, and his reputation... isn't particularly awe-inspiring.

"Brother Yun, where did the hairpin on our heads come from"

Someone remarked, "True or false, we'll know if the Fifth Prince asked Ning Shu to create a Daoist robe for him."

Zhang Gu'an wasn't the worst off, he almost took a nasty tumble and broke his head. I held my forehead and told Ning Shu, "It's good we didn't come, otherwise we would have gotten hurt too."

Xue Ce's eyes darkened slightly, his gaze turning deep as he stated directly, "Our family has never received anything from outside."

My eyes were dark, like they were holding back something.

Wow, that's really profound.

Ning Shu shook her head: "It's nothing, we just misunderstood the Prince. When father comes back, he will explain it to me."

Ning Yun stared at the jade hairpin, afraid we might damage it.

The Crown Prince didn't say much, he just returned my jade hairpin and then turned to leave. All the students were so nervous they didn't dare breathe. Seeing that the Crown Prince was gone, one finally spoke up: "Perhaps it's because Brother Yun, this hairpin of yours is too beautiful, the Crown Prince wanted it"

Qīngzhú, my dear, you’re finally back! I almost had a heart attack when that Xūe Shìzi arrived. The young master is so terrifying; he's already stained his hands with so much blood. He's definitely killed before— there's no doubt about it.

Then you'll know what's going on.

Ning Yun nodded, a shy smile on his face.

"To be honest, Master, even if you have ten fingers you wouldn't come up with anything delicious. I haven't heard of anything edible you've ever made."

Ning Shu was full of doubts: "Just knowing that the prince did this, is it not something When will he deliver it" I paused for a moment and said again: "I don't have any impression."

Because I... lied.

The Fifth Prince choked on his words, feeling that his younger cousin seemed too eager for Ning Shu to make this dish for him. But he had no evidence, so he could only say: "Younger Cousin, have you heard the aroma of that hot pot It's extremely unique, making people want more after just one bite. Even those scholars from Lanxuan Hall praised it highly. Aren't we curious about its taste"

Ning Shu's face was dazed, "What did the Prince of Xue send me"

Besides, the students in the academy were also piqued with curiosity: “Could it really not be that delicious Could it possibly even surpass a feast fit for an emperor”

It wasn't until after he arrived that Ning Shu heard about what had happened yesterday at the Lán Xuetang, how everyone there was affected.

If it weren't for her son, Ning Shangshu wouldn't have entered the palace. After all, I'm going to file a complaint; it wasn't Young Master Xue, and I wasn't entirely innocent either. I broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it.

Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, her face flushing with embarrassment. "I was just being polite," she mumbled. "Surely the prince wouldn't have missed that"

The fifth prince was not moved.

Once we entered the manor, we walked far away.

Lanh Xuang's disciples were outraged. They definitely weren't angry because we had come up with a hotpot recipe. These people must be jealous and secretly plotting such despicable acts out of spite.

The Fifth Prince, upon hearing this, was also quite curious: "Really, isn't the hot pot that delicious"

Thinking along those lines, we simply asked.

Xue Ce's phoenix eyes sketched a melancholic arc: "Not yet."

That beautiful face, as exquisite as a fairy, was cold as frost. She lowered her eyes and stared at me, her voice icy as she said, “This hairpin, is it truly not from our mother”

Another student said, "Wait a minute! Didn't we bring the fire coral last time Our mother didn't give it to us, did she That fire coral is not something good. We haven't even touched it."

But the students of Lanxuan Hall always seem to be up to something, weaving tales and spinning lies. They've piqued our curiosity.

"Originally, he should have just been sitting there. However, Xue Ce didn't look over with a frosty gaze. He looked at that scheming student with an icy expression and said in a calm tone: "That recipe from Lanxuan Hall, everyone doesn't have it. Why don't we just find a way to get a copy and cook it personally for the Fifth Prince"

No wonder those people would avoid the prince when they saw him.

Ning Yun clenched the jade hairpin, but her heart was not entirely at ease.ng Lin is one of them.She didn't have a hysterical outburst, nor did she show any disgust or indifference towards the young man. She simply quietly passed him several photos from her bag.Ning Shu's fa...
