Ling Yingchong's leg was really hurt.
After entering the room, Jiang Tangzhou smelled a very strong smell of medicine. For a while, his room often smelled like this. After smelling it for a long time, he felt numb. It had been a long time since he had smelled it, but Jiang Tangzhou frowned when he first heard it. Brow—he was not used to the smell again.
Ling Yingchong was half lying on the bed, looking pretty good, but his legs and feet were inconvenient. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and said, "Tangzhou, you're here."
Jiang Tangzhou responded: "I have accepted invitations from the fourth prince several times, if I don't come here again, even I feel that I don't know how to flatter myself."
"There's no need to be so polite between you and me." Ling Yingchong shook his head, ordered the maid to pour tea, and then said, "Actually... I have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Tangzhou guessed that it would not be that simple for Ling Yingchong to ask him to come, but he really didn't expect the other party to get into the topic so quickly.
"Fourth prince, just open your mouth." Jiang Tangzhou said, "If I can help, I will naturally help."
"The marriage letter between you and the prince is actually very easy to resolve." Ling Yingchong lowered his eyes and said, "I know that you came to our Daheng at the beginning, but you didn't know that you were here for a marriage. I didn't disclose it to you, so most of the time you choose the prince, it is also a ruthless act. If you want, I can talk to the father, you... "
Jiang Tangzhou listened halfway, but couldn't take it any longer. He frowned, and rarely interrupted the other party: "What does the fourth prince want to say?"
"Half a month ago, my spies got a letter," Ling Yingchong looked at him, and said, "Those who left the capital should be sent to Qin Kingdom."
The smile on Jiang Tangzhou's face faded: "The fourth prince is threatening me?"
"No, I'm just discussing with you," Ling Yingchong said, "You know, I won't submit this letter, let alone push you out."
Jiang Tangzhou smiled and said, "Then what do you want to do?"
"I just don't think there's much need for this marriage letter between you and the prince." Ling Yingchong said, "Tangzhou, if you stand by my side, I can give you whatever you want. .”
Jiang Tangzhou followed his intention and asked back: "Including that location?"
Ling Yingchong's breath was suffocated, his brows were slightly furrowed, he paused, and then said: "The people of Hengguo probably won't accept a person from Qinguo, but if you want it, I promise, you are the one above ten thousand people."
Jiang Tangzhou didn't think that Ling Yingchong came to talk to him about this, and he even felt a little funny to hear him say that. He was silent for a long time, and said, "It's no good for you to win me over."
"How do you know?" Ling Yingchong asked back.
Jiang Tangzhou never felt that he was in demand when he was in Qinguo.
As an unattractive trash lord, almost no one in Qinguo took him seriously, and he lived a chic and comfortable life. He really didn't expect that he would be robbed by others just because he changed places. Yes, this taste really made him feel a little fresh.
"You let me think about it."
In the end, Jiang Tangzhou did not choose to give Ling Yingchong an exact answer, even though he already had the answer in his heart.
On the carriage back, Ting Yu asked Jiang Tangzhou several times if he wanted to tell Yin Wenzheng about this, but Jiang Tangzhou didn't give a definite answer.
On the contrary, Ting Yu was somewhat apologetic for Yin Wenzheng: "Master, you don't really want... Anyway, during the time we were in the Prince's Mansion, the Prince really treated us very well."
"You girl, what's on your mind." Jiang Tangzhou sighed, "I was just thinking, don't let Yin Wenzheng know about this."
"Why?"
"Especially the matter of the letter being blocked." Jiang Tangzhou said, "You don't know the cause and effect, so naturally you don't know how to consider the overall situation. In short, you didn't hear a word of what the fourth prince said today, and it was all rotten. in stomach."
Although Ting Yu was a bit silly, she always believed in one principle, that is, she would listen to whatever Jiang Tangzhou said, and she hadn't made a big mistake in all these years.
So this time, as always, he chose to listen to Jiang Tangzhou's words.
After going back, Yin Wenzheng also asked him about the conversation between the following two people. He heard that Yu Leng didn't say a word, which made Yin Wenzheng very curious.
After all, rumors about Jiang Tangzhou and Ling Yingchong were spreading all over the capital. Even in his last dynasty, gossip people came to ask about the specific situation. ,he still…
"If you want me to tell you, if you are really curious, you can go directly to King Zhen." Ruojian changed Jiang Tangzhou's coat, straightened his collar, lowered her eyes, and a complex look flashed in her expression, "If It's really nothing, King Zhen probably won't hide it from you."
Yin Wenzheng tugged at his sleeve, and then said: "You have some truth. What is he doing now?"
"Should be using Chaoshi," Ruojian said, "I just saw that Yan Qing went to the small kitchen to get some Chaoshi."
"Well, there's no need to prepare for Gu's side, let's use it at his place." Yin Wenzheng walked towards Jiang Tangzhou with his legs.
Yin Wenzheng led Ruojian to that place, but it was all in vain.
Yan Qing was packing up Jiang Tangzhou's finished court food, when she saw Yin Wenzheng coming over, she was stunned: "Your maidservant has seen the crown prince."
"Where's the person?" Yin Wenzheng frowned and scanned the leftovers on the table.
Yan Qing paused for a moment, then said: "Master led Ting Yu out and said he was going... to prepare a gift?"
"Prepare a gift? What kind of gift are you preparing?" Yin Wenzheng walked out as soon as he raised his leg.
Ruo Jian followed behind him, and said: "It seems to be the fourth prince's birthday in a few days, maybe King Xu Zhen is going to prepare for the birthday ceremony."
Yin Wenzheng paused, his face collapsed, and he said, "I never saw him put so much effort into it on my birthday before!" There was a sour taste in his words again.
...
About Ling Yingchong's birthday, Jiang Tangzhou came out of the fourth prince's mansion yesterday and accidentally heard it from a servant.
It was said that Ling Yingchong didn't plan to make a big deal—but because Concubine Zhou was coming over, the fourth prince's mansion still had to be tidied up and prepared.
Jiang Tangzhou is also very polite, so of course he has to prepare a gift when he encounters such a thing, so Tete pulled Tingyu to go out today to pick out for Ling Yingchong, and finally bought a fan in a shop that sells folding fans After wrapping it up, it will be regarded as the other party's birthday gift.
Even if Jiang Tangzhou asked the store to find someone to send it over, he also brought a message.
After leaving the store, Ting Yu said, "Master, the opposite is the Morning and Night Shop."
"Day and night shop?" Jiang Tangzhou raised his head, and he could vaguely see a lot of people in front of him. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people, but he couldn't see clearly.
"Well, the plum candy I like the most is bought here." Ting Yu said, tugging on Jiang Tangzhou's sleeve and walking to the other side, "It's all out, why don't we go for a stroll."
Ting Yu didn't give Jiang Tangzhou a chance to refuse, so he dragged him into the Chaoxi shop.
The smell that entered his nostrils instantly turned into a variety of strong sweet and greasy smells. Jiang Tangzhou took a few sniffs and said with a smile: "I see that you are the girl who is greedy, so you dragged me in."
Ting Yu laughed twice, and said: "I bought some plum candies for my grandfather, and it is my honor to honor you."
Jiang Tangzhou shook his head and smiled, there was really nothing he could do with her.
Ting Yu went to the other end to pick out pastries, and Jiang Tangzhou walked around the counter boredly. For some reason, there were so many people in the shop today, so the boss didn't care, so Jiang Tangzhou fumbled there to pick up pastries and smell them. , but found that there are many varieties in this store, some are sweet and some are not so sweet, some of them are also suitable for his taste.
As Jiang Tangzhou was walking, he bumped into someone suddenly. Just as he was about to apologize, he heard the person say, "Ruojian, how about this taste? Do you like it?"
Jiang Tangzhou was overjoyed at first, and then felt uncomfortable.
"Master, the taste is sweet-scented osmanthus, it's delicious."
"If you like it, buy a few catties." Yin Wenzheng laughed a few times after he finished speaking, then turned his head as if he had just discovered Jiang Tangzhou was here, and said, "A Tang? Why are you here?"
Jiang Tangzhou smiled a little erratically: "Oh, I heard Yu said that she was going to buy some pastries, so I came here with her."
"You try this." Yin Wenzheng stuffed the cake in Jiang Tangzhou's mouth, not giving him a chance to refuse.
Jiang Tangzhou took a mouthful of sweet-scented osmanthus, and his whole body felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly, and tried hard to swallow that mouthful of pastry, saying, "It's a bit sweet."
"Cakes, of course they are sweet." After Yin Wenzheng finished speaking, he held up another piece, "Would you like to try this?"
Jiang Tangzhou took a step back: "No, thank you."
Yin Wenzheng turned around and gave Ruojian: "Ruojian, try this."
If Jane still said she liked it, Yin Wenzheng smiled and said that she would buy it if she liked it.
Jiang Tangzhou turned around, no longer caring about the two of them, but walked forward along the counter on his own, but Yin Wenzheng seemed to be doing it on purpose, insisting on following behind him, and giving Ruojian different words from time to time. Tasting the pastries made Jiang Tangzhou feel even more uncomfortable.
After Jiang Tangzhou walked around, Yin Wenzheng stopped in front of him again: "What are you looking for?"
"I didn't find anything." Jiang Tangzhou said, "Just wandering around."
"Oh," Yin Wenzheng said intentionally, "I thought you were choosing a birthday gift for the fourth child, but I couldn't find a suitable one for a long time."
Jiang Tangzhou replied honestly: "I have already found it, and sent it over."
The smile on Yin Wenzheng's face froze for a moment, and soon he pretended to be casual and asked, "Really? What did you get?"
"A folding fan."
Yin Wenzheng said "Oh" and heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't a jade pendant: "Would you like some plum candies?" Yin Wenzheng took Jiang Tangzhou's hand and moved forward, putting it on the pile of plum candies, " Those plum candies were bought here before, and they can only be bought here in the whole of Kyoto.”
Just as Jiang Tangzhou was about to refuse, when he opened his mouth, a sweet and sour plum candy was stuffed into his mouth, which neutralized the sweet and greasy taste just now, making it extremely refreshing.
Jiang Tangzhou didn't refuse anymore.
Before Jiang Tangzhou noticed that Yin Wenzheng was angry, Yin Wenzheng's anger disappeared by itself.
