Chapter 72

Xiao Ru's eyes were wide open as she looked at Chen Ning with a puzzled expression.

Although she could not guess what the young miss was playing at, she knew that the second miss and his highness would soon be out of luck.

But, what did the young miss want to do?

Chun Tao and Xia He's culinary skills were not bad. The chestnut water chestnut cakes they made were sweet and delicious, melting in the mouth.

"Princess consort, the water chestnut cakes you made are truly delicious. This servant has never eaten such a delicious water chestnut cake before."

Xia He's mouth was very sweet as she quickly said this.

Chun Tao couldn't help curling her lips, but she had to admit that Xia He's words were not flattery, but rather the truth.

"Such a delicious water chestnut cake, this servant believes that his highness and the concubine consort will not be able to eat it!"

Chun Tao remembered that his highness had a water chestnut cake on the menu for tomorrow. She thought that the princess consort was too angry, so she made her and Xia He make a better water chestnut cake.

She thought that she had correctly guessed Chen Ning's thoughts, but who would have thought that Chen Ning would shake her head with a smile.

"It's better to have fun together than to have fun alone. Since you all say that the water chestnut cake with chestnut powder is more delicious, how could this princess hide it? Xia He, you can tell the kitchen about this method. Also, we won't be able to eat all of this water chestnut cake, so you can give the rest to them to try. "

Chen Ning smiled as she pointed at the pastries on the table.

"Yes, the princess consort is considerate of her servants, they will definitely be grateful to the princess consort." Chun Tao and Xia He happily agreed as they left with the water chestnut cakes.

They did not think too much about it, they just thought that this was the princess consort's way of buying people's hearts.

Chen Ning narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

It was impolite not to reciprocate.

Chu Shao Yang, Chen Bi Yun, this is another gift I've given you. I hope you like this gift of mine in return. Thinking about it, I'm really looking forward to it.

She gave a lazy yawn.

"Xiao Ru, it's getting late, let's wash up and go to sleep."

After Chen Ning washed up, she thought of the devilish handsome young man that came uninvited last night. She personally checked to see if the doors and windows were bolted. Only when she saw that every window was tightly shut and even the door was bolted did she feel relieved.

When Xiao Ru saw Chen Ning's strange actions, she couldn't help feeling nervous. She said, "Young miss, are you worried that a thief will come in and steal our money? How about this servant doesn't sleep tonight? This servant will guard the money and not let this servant steal it! "

Chen Ning smiled as she pinched her nose, "Silly girl, I'm not guarding against a thief that steals money. Just obediently go to sleep for me, isn't it just a thousand silver coins? Wait for this miss to bring you to earn more money tomorrow."

When Xiao Ru heard the money, her eyes lit up.

She happily agreed, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep.

But Chen Ning was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. It wasn't until the third watch that she finally fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she slept, but she suddenly felt something strange and woke up from her dream.

Before she went to bed, she deliberately left a candle in front of the bed, but now even the candle was extinguished without her knowing.

Xiao Ru was sleeping..

Only Xiao Ru, who was beside her, was breathing evenly. She had not woken up yet.

But Chen Ning still felt that something was wrong.

She suddenly raised her hand and touched her cheek. Her hand was wet and cold, with a faint scent of pine ink.

Damn!
