After resting for two days, the fifth prince brought the sixth princess to Yaoguang Hall.
To show respect, the fifth prince brought a generous gift, and the sixth princess wore a new dress.
The two children look good and have a good temperament, even more outstanding than those little models in the previous life. When they appear together, they look like the fairy boy next to the Bodhisattva.
The fifth prince met Tao Ti two days ago, but this time he was not so excited, he just bowed respectfully, "Sister-in-law, all blessings."
The sixth princess happily ran towards Tao Ti, like a little butterfly dancing around, shouting sweetly, "Sister-in-law, you are back!"
Holding the cat in her arms, Tao Ti smiled gently at them, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, you are here."
The two children also noticed the soft and cute kitten in her arms, their eyes lit up, "Wow, what a beautiful kitten."
Tao Ti introduced, "This is Yuanbao."
Yuan Bao is very smart, and he got used to the name after two days. When he heard these two words, he instinctively gave a "meow" as a response.
Three people and one cat, sitting under the big tree with rich green shade in front of the courtyard, Linglong offered a pot of kumquat green tea and some small snacks.
Both the fifth prince and the sixth princess were very interested in Tao Ti's trip to Luoyang, and they had many questions.
Of course, what they were most concerned about was the assassination in Luoyang.
Although the fifth prince had heard it last time, he still had a lot of doubts in his heart. Now he asked all the questions out of his mind, and Tao Ti answered them one by one.
After talking about this, Tao Ti talked about the matter in Prince Mu's Mansion again.
After listening to the fifth prince, he clenched his fists and said angrily, "I didn't expect that Prince Mu is so bad. Last year when he came to the palace, I even called him cousin! Bah, bah, he's not worthy!"
The sixth princess lowered her eyes and sighed, "Those girls are so pitiful, their families must be very sad."
Tao Ti took the reaction of the two into her eyes. They were also children of the royal family, Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu were well-bred, and they did not regard the lives of ordinary people as trivial. As a sister-in-law, she was very happy in her heart.
Chatting, stroking the cat, drinking tea, the afternoon passed quickly.
Seeing the sky darken, the Fifth Prince and Sixth Princess reluctantly bid farewell.
Before leaving, Tao Ti gave them the souvenir she bought from Luoyang. The two children were both surprised and happy when they saw it.
For them, the gift is second, and the most important thing is the thought of being remembered.
After thanking Tao Ti happily, the two children left Yaoguang Hall briskly.
…
In the Mingyue Palace, Concubine Xu Gui lazily reads a book while leaning on the ginger pillow embroidered with light green and folded branches.
Seeing that the fifth prince came back with a bunch of things, surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes, "Didn't you go to give gifts, why did you go out for a walk, and there were more things?"
The fifth prince raised his chin in embarrassment, "This is a gift specially brought to me by the concubine's sister-in-law from Luoyang!"
Concubine Xu Gui raised her eyebrows, it is really rare for the Crown Princess to have such kindness.
When he came back to his senses, seeing his son's smug expression, he was angry and funny, "You little bastard, your uncles and cousins often send you things when they go back to other places, why haven't you been so happy before? "
The fifth prince said with a playful smile, "It's the first time that the concubine's sister-in-law gave me a gift, so it's different."
As he said that, he took out another copy and held it in front of Concubine Xu Gui as if offering a treasure, "Concubine Mother, this is a gift from my sister-in-law. I opened it and it is a beautiful set of jewelry."
Concubine Xu Gui glanced at the beautifully carved box, but did not open it immediately, she only said to the Fifth Prince, "Okay, you go back to the house and wash your face, it's almost time for dinner."
The Fifth Prince responded, turned around and went back to his bedroom.
Concubine Xu's eyes fell on the jewelry box again, and the lady at the side knew it, bent down to open it, and praised, "Your Majesty, this set of ruby headgear is really good, your skin is fair, and wearing rubies is the most suitable."
Concubine Xu Gui casually picked up one of the ruby lotus pattern gold hairpins, stared at the ruby red light, and said calmly, "This princess is quite sensible."
The palace lady said, "Yes, we used to have no relationship with the Mingyue Palace and the East Palace. Since the Crown Princess married in, the two palaces have gotten closer. Your Majesty, is this Crown Princess trying to win over you?"
Concubine Xu Gui squinted her beautiful eyes, pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's not like that."
The grand lady was startled.
Concubine Xu Gui put the gold hairpin back into the box, and said, "I really like her, if you get close, you can get close, it doesn't hurt anyway."
The palace lady said, "You are not worried about the empress..."
Concubine Xu Gui sneered, "She deliberately pretended to be a loving mother and a virtuous queen, but the East Palace is not stupid, everyone just fools around and just gets along..."
Having said that, she stopped her voice, and lightly clasped the jewelry box with her slender fingers.
I don't know if it's her illusion, the queen seems to be a little impetuous recently.
Could it be that the prince's assassination had something to do with them
Alas, this empress is really impatient, what's the rush, she's been dormant for so many years, so what if she waits another year or two
...
At noon the next day, Xu Wenchan came to Yaoguang Hall with a heavy gift.
"Arti!!!!"
As soon as he stepped on the threshold, Xu Wenchan howled loudly.
Seeing Tao Ti, she rushed forward with a warm hug, "Woooooo, Artie."
Tao Ti, who was hugged so tightly that she was about to suffocate, "Well, well, if you have something to say, let me go first..."
Xu Wenchan let her go, her round eyes were wet, and she looked worried, "Do you know that when I heard the news of your assassination, I was so scared to death that I didn't sleep well for several nights."
"I'm standing right in front of you right now." Tao Ti smiled, looked Xu Wenchan up and down, and said in surprise, "Achan, I haven't seen you for more than a month, you seem to have lost some weight."
Hearing this, Xu Wenchan was not very happy, curled his lips, and said aggrievedly, "It's not because of you."
Tao Ti, "Me?"
Xu Wenchan nodded, "After hearing about your accident, I took my mother to the temple to pray for you. I stayed here for half a month, and I ate vegetarian every day, so I naturally lost weight..."
She also moved her face closer, "Look at my face, isn't it all ugly?"
Tao Ti didn't expect that she would do this for herself, and her heart was touched for a while.
After a while, she raised her hand and patted Xu Wenchan's shoulder, "In order to compensate you for not eating meat for half a month, I'll make you some delicious food so that you will be full?"
When Xu Wenchan heard this, she smiled happily, revealing two lovely dimples, "Okay, I will eat as much as you make!"
Seeing that Tao Ti was about to get up, Xu Wenchan hurriedly held her back, "I'll do it later, let's talk first, you're not in Chang'an, I'm so lonely, I want to tell you something I've been holding back."
Tao Ti sat down again, and ordered Linglong to bring some snacks.
After a while, Linglong served all kinds of preserves, pastries, fruits, homemade spicy strips, and a pot of bright red bayberry wine.
This spicy strip is made of fried bean curd. Although it does not have as many spices as modern spicy strips, it is healthy and delicious. The spicy taste is not inferior to the various spicy strips at the canteen.
As soon as the spicy strips are served on the table, the strong and rich fresh spicy taste goes straight to the nose.
Xu Wenchan was still babbling about the anecdotes that happened in Chang'an City. When he smelled the fragrance, his attention was unconsciously drawn to him, "Hey, what kind of food is this? It smells weird."
Tao Ti said, "This is spicy strips, made with fried bean curd, would you like to try it?"
Xu Wenchan immediately reached out to pick up one, only to see that the yellow oily bean skin was glowing with red oil, and some fine chili powder could be seen. In addition, there were some white sesame seeds hanging on it.
It looks simple, but I don't know how it tastes.
She thought so, and sent it to her mouth.
At the first bite, numb, spicy, salty, and fragrant, these four senses occupy the brain consciousness, and the taste is not very amazing, but chewing and chewing, the more delicious it is, and then one after another, it seems to be addicted to eating Like, can't stop at all.
Xu Wenchan: I can't control my mouth!
Tao Ti saw Xu Wenchan inhale sharply and kept eating, squinted her eyes and said with a smile, "If it's spicy, drink some bayberry wine. It's just brewed for two days, so it's not very intoxicating."
She picked up the magnificent red bayberry wine and filled two glasses.
The weather is getting hotter day by day, this bayberry wine is poured over ice, and a sip is sour and sweet, refreshing and refreshing.
The two little sisters were like this, eating spicy strips, drinking red bayberry wine, and chatting all over the place.
After Xu Wenchan finished talking about the anecdotes and gossips in the capital, Tao Ti went on to talk about what she saw, heard, and thought in Luoyang.
Xu Wenchan listened with gusto. After hearing it, she blinked her eyes, stared straight at Tao Ti, and said seriously, "Ah Ti, I found something."
Tao Ti, "Huh?"
Xu Wenchan, "You speak now, as if you never leave the prince."
Tao Ti was startled, and touched her nose with a guilty conscience, "Is there any?"
Xu Wenchan nodded, "Yes, you were never like this before."
Tao Ti said awkwardly, "Maybe because I was with the prince every day in Luoyang, so I mentioned it more often..."
Xu Wenchan muttered in a low voice, "Is that so?" Suddenly, as if she realized something, her black eyes rolled around, and finally her eyes widened, and she looked at Tao Ti in surprise, "Ah Ti, Do you like His Highness the Crown Prince?"
Tao Ti, who had just picked up the red bayberry wine, said, "cough cough cough."
She wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, her fair little face was flushed brightly, she didn't know if it was from choking, bayberry wine, or shyness.
After calming down, Tao Ti met Xu Wenchan's gaze, which revealed the tenderness and firmness of a young girl Huaichun, "Well, I like him."
Xu Wenchan, "Wow!"
Tao Ti blushed even more, "He likes me too."
Xu Wenchan, "Wow!!"
Like most girls who just fell in love, Tao Ti shyly and eagerly shared with Xu Wenchan the process of communicating with Pei Yan.
Xu Wenchan listened, unconsciously covering her face with her hands, her eyes dreaming: When will it be her turn to have a sweet love
Seeing that her friend and His Royal Highness were in love with each other, Xu Wenchan was also very happy for Tao Ti from the bottom of her heart. When she was about to reserve the position of the little emperor's grandson, she suddenly thought of a very serious matter—
It is said that the prince will not live until the age of twenty-three, Arti likes the prince so much now, if the prince is gone in two years, won't she be sad to death
In an instant, Xu Wenchan thought of those stories about sadomasochistic love that he had read before, how one party dies young, and the other party lives and dies with him, going to hell together...
Xu Wenchan immediately became nervous, and grabbed Tao Ti's hand, "Ah Ti, why don't you stop liking the prince."
Tao Ti, "...?"
Xu Wenchan thought about it, and felt that this was not quite right.
She frowned, trying to think of a way to get the best of both worlds.
She didn't want to see her friend's heartbroken, life and death together, and she wanted to celebrate her 80th birthday with Artie.
After thinking and thinking, she suddenly had an idea, her black eyes lit up, and she waved to Tao Ti mysteriously.
Tao Ti was surprised, but she still leaned forward.
Xu Wenchan listened, and whispered, "Ah Ti, have you performed Zhou Gong's ceremony with the crown prince?"
Tao Ti was stunned for a moment, her little face blushed, and she couldn't speak quickly, "You, you, why are you asking this all of a sudden."
Xu Wenchan, "Not yet? Then you have to hurry up."
There was confusion in Tao Ti's dark eyes.
Xu Wenchan said, "You have to hurry up and get pregnant with the prince's child sooner."
If there is a child, even if the prince passes away one day, Arti can have a sustenance, even for the child, he will live well, right
Tao Ti didn't follow Xu Wenchan's train of thought all of a sudden, and was a little dazed.
On the contrary, Xu Wenchan hated iron for being weak, and slapped his thigh, "Oh, you and the prince have been married for so long... I gave you so many scripts, don't they contain some of this kind of content, you can learn from them Ah... By the way, I brought you some new ones this time!"
As she spoke, she ordered the maid to get it.
A thick stack of scriptures was packed in a box, and nothing could be seen from the outside. Once it was brought in, Xu Wenchan turned away the other people in the hall, opened it and took out a few books——
"These are all new products. I heard they are selling well."
Tao Ti reached out and took a book, flipped it casually, her water eyes widened, "Hey, this, this is very exciting..."
Xu Wenchan sat down and said drunkenly, "Then you should read more and learn more."
When it comes to learning, Tao Ti has no guts.
She resentfully put the script aside, picked up the red bayberry wine and drank half a glass, then put it down again, and abruptly changed the topic to opening a pastry shop.
She showed Xu Wenchan her carefully crafted store planning book, while introducing and explaining it.
I don’t know if it’s because the entrepreneurial chicken blood was too much, or the little bit of alcohol in bayberry wine got on the head. After talking about it, the two little sisters became more and more excited, as if opening this shop, the next step would be chains to blossom everywhere. The money is soft, sitting on thousands of beautiful men, becoming the richest man in the country, and reaching the pinnacle of life—
The two of you looked at me, I looked at you, and said, "We're going to get rich!"
"When the time comes, I will buy the entire Drunken Immortal Residence, let Mr. Wuchen warm my bed, Mr. Nongyu beat my back, and Mr. Bandit Liu feed me grapes!"
"I want to buy a big house! Buy a restaurant! Find a bunch of cooks to cook all kinds of delicious food for me every day!"
"We can also buy a villa at the foot of Lishan Mountain, where we can escape the heat in summer, race horses and play ball, enjoy the scenery by boating, play the piano and sing..."
"Can you play the piano?"
"I won't, how about you?"
"Well, I don't know how... But it doesn't matter, we have money, and we invite a bunch of good-looking luthiers to stand in a row and play whatever we want..."
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha… "
The two of them chatted happily in the hall, and outside the door, the corners of Pei Yan's mouth, who had returned early from his business affairs, were drawn straight.
Wu Chen, Nong Yu, Bandit Willow? A luthier with delicate features
He glanced at the sky, although it was approaching evening, it was still bright.
So, what are they daydreaming about
