Two large bowls of spicy hot pot are steaming hot, exuding a strong and seductive fragrance.

The rain hits the banana leaves, and the candlelight is in panic. Tao Ti and Pei Yan sit opposite each other, each with a bowl of spicy hot pot and a cup of osmanthus honey tea.

"Your Highness, will this be too spicy? If it is spicy, I will make bone soup next time, and the taste will be lighter."

Taoti looked forward to Pei Yan's eating, but she didn't lose her mouth. She picked up a fresh fish ball and put it in her mouth. This purely handmade fresh fish ball is very flexible and has a unique flavor with the spicy soup of spicy hot soup.

Pei Yan picked up a small green vegetable. The green vegetable was the last one. It was just hot and it was not old at all. The leaves were covered with rich soup. As soon as they were in the mouth, the delicious and spicy taste stimulated the taste buds. After chewing it carefully, the sweetness and refreshing taste of the green vegetable neutralized the spicy taste just right.

"This soup base is very good, and even vegetables can be made so delicious, Atti's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Pei Yan nodded.

"Don't just eat vegetables, eat more meat. These beef slices are so fresh. Unfortunately, there is no time to fry the fried dough sticks. The crispy fried dough sticks are also very delicious with the soup!" Taoti said a little regretfully.

The next moment, she raised her eyebrows and said, "When the weather gets colder, we can still eat hot pot. Then I will prepare a large table of dishes, and ask Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, Qinghe and others to come and eat."

Pei Yan smiled softly, "Okay."

Seeing that he was still as graceful and elegant as he looked, Tao Ti suddenly thought of something and looked at him, wanting to speak but stopping.

Pei Yan stopped chopsticks, his cold and dark pupils were gentle, "What's wrong?"

Tao Ti was stunned, pursed her lips and said softly, "Your Highness, are you pretending to be gentle?"

She was a little confused. From the first time she saw him, he had always been like a gentle and jade-like appearance, and she had never doubted it before.

But he suddenly told her that these are all pretending? She didn't know for a moment that she said she was too stupid or that his acting skills were too good.

If his crazy paranoia that night was his true face, then now, is this gentle look real or pretending?

Pei Yan's eyes drooped slightly, and in a moment, he stared at her and said calmly, "After being moved by you, I'll stop pretending."

Tao Ti was surprised at first, then a slap in her heart, and she was beating violently.

He did not deny his previous disguise, and at the same time explained that he had removed his disguise for her.

She licked her lips uneasy, lowered her head, and thought to herself: Then he is still gentle.

As if she guessed what she was thinking, Pei Yan added, "Actually it's not accurate. She is also pretending to be a gentleman... I thought you like this."

Tao Ti choked, and her bright black eyes met his gaze.

Pei Yan raised his lips and smiled a little dispersedly, and his dark eyes were a bit hot and dangerous. "I wouldn't pretend if I had known it."

What's the point of being a gentleman? It's wasted so many good times with me.

Tao Ti was stunned for a moment before she understood the deep meaning of his words, her ears were dyed red, and she hurriedly buried her head and continued to eat spicy hot pot.

I don’t know if it was because she was hot or flirted with that, but her fair cheeks turned red.

Pei Yan handed her a handkerchief and said carelessly, "I'll see Ashinaqi in the afternoon."

Tao Ti coughed suddenly and almost choked by the pepper. She looked at him in surprise. Her big eyes, clearly distinguished black and white, were asking silently, "What are you going to find her?"

Pei Yan said, "I didn't cause trouble for him."

Taoti asked softly, "Then what did you say?"

Pei Yan narrowed his eyes, his eyes dark and unclear.

He thought of the scene of meeting Ashinaqi in the afternoon, which was on the palace road to Zichen Palace.

...

Ashinaqi broke one of his legs, but he was disabled and determined to support a crutch to Zichen Palace to thank him.

After the two met, Pei Yan didn't want to pay much attention, but unexpectedly, Ashinaqi stopped him and wanted to chat with him alone.

Pei Yan glanced at his crutch and did not refuse.

The two of them went to Chuting together, and the weather was drizzling and the sky was gloomy.

Fu Xirui looked at it from a distance, feeling that the aura between the two was not right, and he was worried: Don’t fight later? But it should be okay to fight. Although Your Highness is weak, the Prince Rongdi broke one leg.

One is sick and the other is disabled, can it be considered evenly matched?

Ashinaqi looked him up and down, raised his eyebrows and said, "The prince looks good."

Pei Yan's face was cold and silent.

Ashinaqi sighed and said, "If the prince is dissatisfied with me for getting close to the princess, then there is no need. I have no love for the princess at all. I like men and women. In my eyes, the princess is like a little sister..."

Although Tao Ti had already said it last time, Pei Yan frowned calmly when he heard a big man say "like a man".

Looking at Ashinaqi again, there was obviously a bit of indescribable defense.

Ashinaqi pulled the corner of his mouth, "You don't have to look at me like this, and not to mention that your friends and wife should not be bullied. Even if I like men, I like them are all well-behaved and obedient little brothers. I can't see them from afar and not play with them, I can't."

She couldn't help but complain in her heart: Only those who are stupid as Atti would like to welcome the man and directly choose a high-level relationship. However, judging from the prince's reaction, she was obviously moved by Atti... So, is this one thing to defeat another?

Ashinaqi stood up and said, "I don't want to see you two have a conflict over this matter. I'm thinking about it and explaining it."

She was about to leave when Pei Yanchen's golden and cold voice suddenly came from behind, "You and her... were you friends in your previous life? Are you sisters?"

Ashin Qi's back froze, and his first reaction was that Ati's confused guy said it?

She relieved her mood, turned her head and smiled, "I don't understand what the prince said."

Pei Yan stared at her sharply. After a long time, he curled the corner of his mouth, "I know."

After saying that, he bowed to her and his attitude was much more relaxed. "I am so impatient about the incident of shocking horses. I will apologize to you."

Ashinaqi's expression stopped, and she didn't care about his conspiracy. She thought to herself: What did he know? Did Ati tell him or did he guess it himself? Then how much did he guess?

Seeing her expression solemnly, Pei Yan said in a low voice, "You can rest assured that I will not do anything to hurt Atti."

Upon hearing this, Ashinaqi's expression improved a little and he snorted, "Then you'd better remember your words."

She always had a negative attitude towards the fact that her best friend fell in love with ancient people. There were many rules in ancient times, and the person in front of her was the prince. What if he had three palaces and six courtyards in the future, and let Atti share a man with other women, would that be so disgusting? Isn’t it nice to find a little puppy to have a one-on-one relationship in modern times?

However, as far as the man in front of him is concerned, although he is paranoid and a bit crazy about him, he is sincere to Atti.

As for how long this sincerity can last, it is hard for her, an outsider to make a conclusion.

But she believed that if there was a crisis in the relationship, Atti would have to break it.

"The Crown Princess is a good girl, please treat her well."

“This is nature.”

"If you treat her badly, she can leave you at any time. She will not be able to live without a man."

“…”

The memories came to an abrupt end, and the focal length in Pei Yan's eyes was Tao Ti's beautiful face in front of him.

He bent his fingers slightly and said lightly, "He said he likes men."

Tao Ti was stunned, "..."

He is worthy of being a good sister! His ideas are the same!

Pei Yan didn't say anything more, picked up the honey and osmanthus tea and took a sip. The honey was moist and sweet, and the osmanthus was fragrant and fragrant, as if it melted the whole autumn in a cup.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, Taoti was in a good mood and ate the remaining spicy hot pot.

The rain rustled against the window lattice, and the night was particularly quiet. Under the warm yellow candlelight, Pei Yan saw that her lips were slightly red and swollen, just like he had sucked and kissed last night.

He rolled up and down his throat, got up and walked to her side, and pulled her hand.

Tao Ti looked at him in confusion, wondering if he was going to take a walk, and said softly, "It's raining outside."

Pei Yan said, "I have been taking the car for half a day. Are you tired? Take a shower and take a break soon."

Tao Ti replied honestly, "It's not very tired after lying down for a day. If you are tired, go take a shower first. I'll play with Yuanbao for a while."

She hasn't been petting her cat for three days, and the cat owner is lonely, and she is also a little itchy.

Pei Yan gently kneaded her weak boneless little hand, lowered her eyes, and said in a low voice, "I have time to accompany Yuanbao during the day, so I will accompany me first."

Tao Ti looked up at him, just about to say, "Don't you want to take a shower?" The next moment, he came into contact with his dark and deep peach blossom eyes, and seemed to understand something.

She hated her! Her theoretical knowledge is too rich, and she becomes a girl who understands instantly. She can’t pretend to be simple!

"You, you...I'll accompany you later, you go and take a shower first..." She stammered and tried to pretend to be stupid.

Pei Yan stretched out his arms, hugged her slender waist, narrowed his black eyes slightly, and leaned over and said, "Ati, you understand."

Tao Ti: No, I don’t want to understand!

But the man's eyes were too hot, making her face hot and her throat tightened.

He said, "I'll carry you?"

Taoti took a deep breath, "I...I'll go by myself."

Pei Yan smiled, let go of her hand, turned around and went out to make hot water.

………

The smoke was filled with misty and the water temperature was appropriate, but Taoti's whole body was hot, her delicate skin was light pink, and her ten toes were curled up.

It seemed like she was struggling in the bathtub last night, but she was trapped in a confused state. Except for the heavy weight, she was humming twice, and everything else was confused, as if she was in the clouds and fog.

But now she was awake and everything became different.
