Konoha Hypocrite Uchiha Tonan

In the unique courtyard of Prince Xin's Mansion, Tang Ning sat at the table in the courtyard and asked, "What kind of soup is this? It tastes pretty good."

Li Tianlan sat opposite him, wiped the dust-stained long sword with a white handkerchief, and said, "Lily and Bird's Nest Soup."

After sheathing the sword, she looked up at Tang Ning and asked, "Why did you come to Chu Country?"

Tangning finished her drink of Lily Bird's Nest Soup and said, "I said I would come see you when I had the chance. It just so happened that I was escorting the princess on an mission, so I came over."

Li Tianlan looked at the courtyard wall and asked, "Why don't you go through the main entrance?"

Tang Ning explained: "I came here yesterday, but the people in your palace said you were traveling far away, so I had no choice but to climb over the wall and come in to take a look."

Li Tianlan raised his eyebrows and asked, "I have been in the house all the time. When did I go away?"

"I don't know about that." Tangning shook her head and said, "You have to ask the guard at the door."

Li Tianlan thought for a while and did not pursue the matter further, saying, "Let's go out for a walk."

Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, it always feels strange to sit face to face and just chat without doing anything. It would be better to talk while walking.

Tangning nodded and said, "I'll go out and wait for you."

He put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with the handkerchief Li Tianlan handed him, then put it in his arms and flew over the courtyard wall again.

A figure walked in from outside the hospital and asked, "Lanlan, who are you talking to?"

Li Tianlan said: "No one but myself."

"It's strange, I just heard someone talking in the yard." Princess Xin was surprised, looked at the empty bowl on the table, and asked, "Is today's lily and bird's nest soup okay?"

Li Tianlan nodded and said, "Not bad."

She looked at Princess Xin and said, "Concubine, I want to go out for a while."

"Go." Princess Xin nodded and said, "I will go out with you."

"Mother, concubine, go first. I, I need to change some clothes." She said hesitantly, and then walked into the room.

After a while, Princess Xin watched her change into a long dress and walk out of the room, with a look of surprise on her face.

Because of her martial arts training, she usually wears tight-fitting clothes, and wears less clothes from her daughter's house.

When Li Tianlan walked out of the courtyard, he turned around and said, "Next time when I go to Pujiu Temple, please remember to donate 1000 taels of incense money for me."

After she finished speaking, she quickly left. Princess Xin was stunned in place. She had never believed in gods and Buddhas. What kind of incense money was this donation?

After a long while, Princess Xin turned around, looked at a maid behind her, and asked, "Has the princess seen anyone or encountered anything recently?"

The maid shook her head and said blankly: "I don't know..."

Tang Ning stood outside a certain courtyard wall of Prince Xin's Mansion, waiting for her to fly out from the wall. After waiting for a long time, she was wondering what took her so long, when a voice came from behind.

"gone."

Li Tianlan stood a few steps behind him and said, "Take you somewhere."

Tang Ning's eyes lingered on her for a while. She was used to seeing her in neutral attire. She suddenly put on women's clothes, which was really a bit uncomfortable.

The night had begun to fill the air, and the two of them were walking on the street, with lights in front and behind them.

Li Tianlan raised his head, looked at the sparse crowd under the night, and suddenly asked, "How do you know my identity?"

Tang Ning said: "What's there to guess? There may be many Li Tianlans, but there is only one Princess Changning who is both civil and military. A princess is just a princess. What's so great about it? You were hiding it before..." "

Li Tianlan shook his head and said, "At that time, I thought we would never see each other again."

"Maybe this is fate." Tangning looked around and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"arrive."

Li Tianlan walked into a small shop on the street. Tangning followed her in and found that it was a noodle shop. Although the place was small, with only a few tables and chairs, it was neatly kept. There were no customers in the shop at the moment.

Li Tianlan sat down at a table and said, "Mother-in-law, please bring two bowls of noodles."

"The princess is here." The shop was divided into two parts, with the kitchen inside and the store outside. An old woman walked out of it, looked at Tangning with a surprised look, and then said, "Princess, please sit down for a while. The noodles will be ready soon.”

Li Tianlan said: "My mother-in-law's noodle shop has been open for 20 years. I used to eat noodles here when I was a child."

She looked at Tang Ning and explained, "Mother-in-law's noodles are a specialty in Kyoto, but not many people know about it. You will know after you try it."

After not seeing each other for a year, the first thing she did when she saw him again was to treat him to noodles. Does this have any special meaning in Chu country?

After a while, the old woman came out with two bowls of hot noodles and said with a smile, "The princess hasn't been here for quite some time."

At this time, several figures walked in from outside the door. They sat down at the door and said: "Mother-in-law, let's have three bowls of vegetable noodles. Put more vegetables, more noodles, and more chopped green onions."

The old woman walked over and said, "Let's go, it's closed today. If you want to eat, come back tomorrow."

The man said in surprise: "It closes so early today, isn't it still more than an hour away..."

The old woman pulled them up from their chairs and said impatiently: "The old woman said it's closing, so it's closing. Stop talking nonsense and walk quickly..."

After driving away a few guests, she sat at the door and said with a smile: "Princess, eat slowly, I'm here to watch, don't let them disturb you."

Unexpectedly, the old lady selling noodles here would get special treatment from the princess to clear the place. Tang Ning took a sip of the soup with a spoon first. Her mouth was full of umami. The noodles were moderately soft and hard, and extremely elastic. They could make noodles with this kind of texture. , has extremely high requirements for the dough mixing techniques and the control of the heat. No wonder she has been obsessed with this small shop since she was a child.

Li Tianlan ate the noodles slowly and asked, "Isn't it good?"

Tangning nodded and said, "This is the most delicious vegetarian noodles I have ever eaten."

Li Tianlan did not continue the topic, looked up at him, and asked: "In addition to seeing off the bride this time, you also want to propose marriage. Are you here to propose marriage for Prince Kang or for Prince Duan?"

"cough!"

Tangning covered her mouth and almost choked on a mouthful of soup.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said, "Actually, I don't agree with this matter."

Li Tianlan looked at him and asked: "The marriage between the two countries is a major event that is conducive to stabilizing diplomatic relations. Why don't you agree?"

"You don't know what the virtues of Prince Kang and Prince Duan are?" Tangning looked at her and said sincerely, "With our relationship, can I watch you jump into the fire pit?"

Li Tianlan put down his chopsticks, looked at him and asked, "What is our relationship?"

Tangning thought for a while, looked at her and asked, "At any rate, we have lived and died together, so we can be considered friends of life and death, right?"

Li Tianlan looked at him, picked up the chopsticks again, and said: "It seems that many things have happened to you since I left. Tell me, how did you become the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, and how did you become the wedding messenger... "

During the year she left, so many things happened that it would be a long story.

Kyoto has a strict curfew, so Tang Ning only said less than half of what she said before the street drum rang. The two walked out of the noodle shop. Tang Ning looked at her and said, "It's getting late today. Let's talk about it another day."

Li Tianlan raised his head and asked, "When will the change be made?"

Tangning thought for a while and asked, "How about tomorrow?"

Li Tianlan nodded: "Okay."

……

Xinwangfu.

Li Tianlan walked into a hall. King Xin looked up at her and asked, "Why are you coming back so late? Come and have dinner."

Li Tianlan stepped forward and said, "Father and concubine, please eat. I have eaten outside."

She thought for a while and then said: "By the way, I will go with my father to the wedding banquet the day after tomorrow."

King Xin's expression changed, and he immediately shook his head and said, "No, if you don't want to go, don't force it."

"With me by my side, I can ensure the safety of my father." Li Tianlan looked at him and said, "It would be bad if it happens again like today and my father encounters an assassin when he is alone."

Princess Xin's expression changed and she asked: "What, the prince met an assassin again today. What were the guards doing? Why is the prince alone?"

King Xin glanced at Li Tianlan vaguely, and then hurriedly explained: "It's just a few little robbers, they won't bother you..."

Princess Xin looked at him and said: "If you want to go somewhere in the future, even if you don't bring a guard, you must let Lanlan follow..."

King Xin looked at her and said helplessly: "I know..."

After comforting the princess for a moment, he looked outside and asked, "Do you feel that Lanlan is a little different today?"

Princess Xin said in surprise: "Does the prince think so too?"
