The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

Chapter 294 Double Xiangxiang's Fatherly Love

After Zhao Xuan and Huang Shuo left, Tian Xueyan did her favorite thing every day - embroidery. Whenever she finished an embroidery piece, she would give it to whoever liked it.

Later, even Qing'e and Chunlan pestered her to teach everyone embroidery. Tian Xueyan felt more and more how happy it was to do what she liked without any utilitarianism.

She was thinking that when Zhao Xuan and Huang Shuo came back, they would be surprised to see that all the bedding, tablecloths, etc. in the house were brand new and replaced with embroidery pieces she had embroidered herself.

Gu Zhanghua and his secretary also started to get busy, discussing with Gu Jiancheng the improvement and mass production of bows and crossbows.

Huang Shuo had handed him the improved drawings before he left. Now he had to find a reliable and skilled blacksmith, and also hurry to build a large workshop on the outskirts of the city. He was busy every day.

Being busy could ease his longing for Zhao Xuan, but when he woke up in the middle of the night, he would still worry about her safety. So, he began to write letters to Zhao Xuan. Although he didn't know where to send them, it could at least ease his longing for her.

The happiest person is Shishu.

He finally transformed from a househusband to Gu Zhanghua's personal bodyguard. He no longer had to sit idle all day helping Chunlan clean the house and cooking for the housekeeper. He was like an abandoned dog, with a shy look on his face.

That night, Shishu came to the kitchen to serve supper to Gu Zhanghua. Chunlan put a bowl of vegetable porridge and two side dishes into a food box and handed it to Shishu.

"Why aren't you sleeping so late, Your Majesty?"

Chunlan asked casually.

"I'm writing a letter to the princess. I wonder where she is now. It's strange that she writes every day even though she knows she can't deliver it."

"You idiot!"

Chunlan couldn't help but poke Shishu's forehead.

"The prince misses the princess every day, so of course he has to write it down and show it to her when she returns. How can she not be moved? Do you think that just because two people are together, getting married is the end of it?"

"Why not?"

Shishu was completely stunned by Chunlan's words.

Chunlan pursed her lips and smiled.

"Two people should always be good to each other and grow old together. They should be good to each other every day, even if the other person is not by their side."

Shishu suddenly realized, holding the food box, and looked at Chunlan seriously.

"I understand. When I go out with the prince in the future, I will write to you, every day!"

This young man is teachable! Chunlan took out a sachet and handed it to Shishu.

"I just learned how to embroider from Miss Xueyan. Please don't be disgusted."

"Don't mind, don't mind, hurry up, hang it up for me!"

Shishu's face was filled with joy. She quickly turned around and asked Chunlan to hang the sachet for her.

This was the first gift Chunlan gave him. He was so happy that he couldn't wait to dislike it.

Chunlan hung up the sachet and instructed Shishu with a smile.

"The princess is not in the palace, and the prince is away every day. You must take good care of the prince and never let him get into any trouble. The palace is our home. Although the prince and princess are our masters, they are also our family!"

Shishu lowered his eyes and looked at the sachet embroidered with orchid grass on his waist. A trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, but then he raised his head and nodded solemnly to Chunlan.

"I remember! Chunlan, when spring comes and the flowers bloom, we'll let the prince and princess make the decision..."

Chunlan immediately guessed what Shishu wanted to say. She pushed Shishu out of the kitchen, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go and bring the prince some midnight snacks! It will be cold if you're any later!"

Shishu quickly kissed Chunlan on the forehead and ran away.

Chunlan subconsciously raised her hand to touch the warmth on her forehead and couldn't help but smile.

She was also looking forward to the wedding day coming soon, but the prince and princess were very busy recently, so she and the maid should not cause any trouble for the time being.

?

Green mountain valley. Sunset.

The worship ceremony in front of Zhao Xiaoman's tomb had ended, but Qin Shao stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, staring at the words on the tombstone, motionless.

Behind Qin Shao, Huang Shuo quietly pulled Zhao Xuan's sleeve, winked at her, and nodded in the direction of the stone house.

Zhao Xuan raised her chin towards Qin Shao in front of her, meaning that Qin Shao was still here, so was it appropriate for them to leave first?

Huang Shuo was too lazy to argue with Zhao Xuan anymore, so he pulled Zhao Xuan towards the path leading to the stone house.

Huang Shuo looked back at Qin Shao who was still standing in front of the tombstone, and whispered to Zhao Xuan.

"I understand his current thoughts very well. I think he would rather be alone with Xiaoman and talk to her privately. Let's not disturb him and go back to cook."

Zhao Xuan looked at Huang Shuo in surprise. When had her father become so understanding? Could it be that he learned this from Tian Xueyan, the saying goes, "People are more sensitive to the company they keep."

"Dad, I thought you were going to have a fight with General Qin to see who's better!"

"Am I sick? Fight him? He definitely can't beat me in a one-on-one fight, but I'm definitely not as good as him in commanding a battle on the battlefield. It's obvious, so what's there to fight about?"

"But you and General Qin both like my master, don't you?"

Zhao Xuan joked.

Huang Shuo patted Zhao Xuan on the head.

"Don't be naughty! Go back and cook. I'm going up the mountain to see if I can hunt some game!"

Huang Shuo felt that his daughter had become a little bad today, trying to sow discord between them and taking advantage of the fight between him and Qin Shao to watch the fun from the sidelines. He would not be fooled.

He is so smart!

Qin Shao didn't return to the cabin until it was dark.

Zhao Xuan had already brought the food to the table, all of which they had bought when they passed through Fucheng along the way.

Braised pork elbow, stewed tofu with shrimp, and a plate of cold-mixed black fungus.

"Uncle Qin, please sit down!"

Zhao Xuan asked Qin Shao to sit down. Qin Shao didn't see Huang Shuo and couldn't help asking, "Where's your father?"

Before Zhao Xuan could answer, Huang Shuo's voice came into the room.

"Xuan'er! We shot two pheasants! I'll clean them up first, and then we can have some roast chicken!"

Qin Shao stood up upon hearing this, strode out of the house, and Zhao Xuan followed him out.

Qin Shao swiftly picked up a pile of dry firewood outside the house and soon lit a bonfire. At this time, Huang Shuo also returned from the stream, carrying a pheasant that he had prepared.

He saw Qin Shao squatting by the campfire and was stunned for a moment.

Qin Shao looked up at Huang Shuo and smiled slightly.

"May I call Mr. Huang my dear brother?"

"I don't deserve it. General Qin, please feel free to do as you please."

"Brother, please call me Brother Qin from now on," Qin Shao looked towards Zhao Xiaoman's tombstone. "I think Xiaoman's spirit in heaven would be very happy if she knew."

Huang Shuo nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhao Xuan looked left and right. In the light of the campfire, she saw two big men who were concentrating on roasting chicken. One of them was handsome and majestic, while the other was elegant and graceful with extraordinary bearing.

The master was truly a heartthrob back then. Two such outstanding men loved her so much, and her disciple felt ashamed of himself!

Soon after, two roast chickens were served and the three of them sat down and started eating.

Huang Shuo and Qin Shao broke off two chicken legs and put them into Zhao Xuan's bowl, then smiled at each other knowingly.

Huang Shuo said: "My daughter."

Qin Shao said: "She is also my daughter."

Zhao Xuan silently looked at the two big chicken legs in the bowl. Without saying a word, she picked up one in each hand, took a big bite of the left one, and took a big bite of the right one.

So nice! Is this like loving someone and loving their dog?

Thanks to her master, she suddenly has the double fragrance of fatherly love, like two big chicken legs!
