Yangcheng

When the wine was cold, Wei Ci still sat where he was, looking at the dotted surface of the Lake of Rocking Stars through the small window.

After Tao Wanzhi sent Tong Shaoxuan off the boat, he returned and helped Wei Ci dip the tip of the brush into the brush washer to clean it.

"Does Your Highness still drink alcohol?" Tao Wanzhi asked, "If you still drink, I'll help you burn it."

Kneeling and sitting for a long time, anyone will feel numb.

But Wei Ci never changed his posture.

This feeling seemed to bring her back to fifteen or sixteen years old, when she was the same age as Tong Shaoxuan now, she had to kneel and sit in front of the desk every day, read "Emperor Listening", read historical books, and receive the complicated and boring prince education.

From sunrise to sunset, there are constant exams waiting for her.

At that time, she didn't feel that studying was a tedious and boring thing at all, and she was even willing to sit there on her knees for a whole day.

Because, every day she can see her teacher.

The teacher's earnest teachings are still in my ears...

"Wanzhi." Wei Ci didn't answer Tao Wanzhi's words, but instead threw back a question, "Do you know the origin of this Rocking Star Lake?"

Tao Wanzhi didn't ask any more questions, and took the initiative to warm the wine.

"The origin of Rocking Star Lake seems to be related to the Changsun family?"

"Yeah. The Rocking Star Lake used to be called the Rocking Star Mansion, and it was the residence of the Changsun family in Boling. After the descendant of the Changsun family left Boling, this place was demolished and refilled into a lake. In a flash, it has been more than 20 years."

Tao Wanzhi brought back the hot wine and helped Wei Ci fill it up.

"Your Highness seldom talks to me about this." Tao Wanzhi held the wine glass with one hand and held it up, while resting his wrist with the other hand, "Be careful, it's hot."

Wei Ci took the wine and drank it down.

When Tao Wanzhi wanted to take the wine glass back and continue pouring, Wei Ci said:

"I demolished the Shaking Star Mansion. I also filled in this Shaking Star Lake."

What Tong Shaoxuan was worried about did not happen. When she got off the boat as it was, she unfolded the painting of the eldest princess and looked at it again.

Combined with what happened just now, she had some guesses in her heart, but she couldn't be sure, so she walked in the direction of Yaju with a heavy heart, and went back to look for Changsun An.

Unexpectedly, her thoughts wandered all the way, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she did not go back to the gathering place, but was surrounded by several screens, and could vaguely smell the aroma of food.

She actually transferred to the back kitchen.

Tong Shaoxuan was looking for a way around, but he didn't expect that the temporary kitchen was like a maze, he was so dizzy that he didn't turn out, but it was a good show.

Behind the screen, a woman's voice sounded, calling out: "Ah Shen."

"Second Sister." Tang Jianwei was about to prepare chicken jelly, but unexpectedly, Tang Linglang brought Zhang Liuniang and his group of ladies here to find them.

Tang Linglang dressed very delicately today, with brand new clothes from head to toe. She didn't mind the fact that her family had just finished a funeral. Instead, she should be dressed in gorgeous, bright and flirtatious clothes during the filial piety.

"Hey, Shen, how can you do such rough work."

With tears in her eyes, Tang Linglang looked at the live chicken fixed on the table and shook her head repeatedly.

"You should go back with me. Even if your Yeniang passes away, I, Yeniang, can take care of you and eldest sister. Now that you're gone, do you know how worried Grandma is?"

Tang Jianwei said "Oh?" and asked back, "How worried are you?"

Tang Linglang said: "Naturally, every night is concerned about your safety, so you can't sleep or eat."

Tang Jian smiled and said, "Second Sister, please go back and tell Granny that I was recruited as a retainer by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and I will follow the Eldest Princess from now on. Let Granny and her elders not have to worry, I will take care of my own affairs."

Tang Linglang sighed a long time, and turned sideways: "Have you ever thought that no matter how good Your Highness is, this is not your home. No matter how diligent you are, you may not be able to get into His Highness's eyes. You, but It's just a servant doing rough work in the kitchen."

Out of the corner of his eye, Tang Jianwei noticed a familiar golden hairpin on Tang Linglang's hair bun, and when he took a closer look, the carved golden hairpin was one of the dowry left by her aunt!

At the beginning, all the personal belongings in her room were confiscated by Yang Shi, even the dowry left by her mother.

Give it back to Tang Linglang, let her wear it!

Tang Jian took a breath of turbid air crazily upwards.

Naturally, Tang Linglang wore it for her purposely to make her angry.

Seeing Tang Jian's slightly stiff face, Tang Linglang knew that she had seen it, and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Just as he was about to continue to taunt her, Tang Jianwei's performance changed ever-changingly. He had already changed into a smiling face and smiled at her:

"Eh? What does Second Sister mean, that Elder Sister Tao, who cooks for the eldest princess all the year round, is just a servant?"

Tang Linglang didn't expect that she would move Tao Wanzhi out, so she was taken aback for a moment and didn't respond immediately.

That Tao Wanzhi is Shangshu's beloved daughter, Tang Linglang knew it.

There is no sense of shame for the daughter of the dignified minister to come to the eldest princess's house and be a minister under the eldest princess's skirt!

Even if Tang Linglang didn't like that person surnamed Tao very much in her heart, she couldn't directly offend him verbally.

Tang Linglang said: "The lady of the Tao family is someone the Eldest Princess values, how can Ah Shen compare with her? She thinks too highly of herself."

Tang Linglang came here today to see her embarrassment and to make her feel sad.

Tang Jianwei was determined not to be able to teach her to be happy.

Tang Jianwei waited for her words: "Second sister said as if she knew the eldest princess better. Could it be that the second sister also wanted to use vegetables as a matchmaker to ask the eldest princess to show mercy and climb into the eldest princess's bed? It's a pity, The second sister doesn't seem to know how to cook, and doesn't know the five grains, I'm afraid it's because the running water is deliberately ruthless."

"you!"

Tang Linglang was extremely angry, she never expected that Tang Jianwei would say such rude words, it was simply uneducated!

But she couldn't refute.

The reason she appeared here today was indeed to show her face in front of the eldest princess.

All the women in Boling Mansion think so.

If she can be appreciated by the eldest princess, who will dare to bully her in Boling Mansion in the future?

These thoughts are hidden in the hearts of ordinary women, who will tell the world about their love?

Moreover, she did put in a lot of effort secretly and entrusted many people, hoping to get a chance to be alone with the eldest princess.

She is confident that as long as the eldest princess sees her, she will definitely win her heart.

What she wants is not to become a "private minister", but the eldest princess, the power of the eldest princess.

Unfortunately it backfired.

Not to mention the eldest princess, even Tao Wanzhi couldn't say a word to her for the time being.

The sharp-tongued Tang Jianwei hit her sore spot right away!

Inside the screen, you come and I go. It's very lively, but Tong Shaoxuan outside the screen is stunned by Tang Jianwei's straightforward ridicule.

Is this still the girl weeping by the lake?

Is this still the gentle and sassy Tang Jianwei whose smile is sweeter than honey?

Tang Jian looked at Tang Linglang coldly:

"I advise the second sister not to worry about the affairs of the eldest princess's house. This is not the Tang family, let you be arrogant and domineering. It's better to go back and be filial to grandma for a few days. After all, the stolen things may be lost any day Gotta spit it out."

Tang Linglang's eyes became sharp instantly, "hehe" sneered twice and said:

"What do you think you are now? Your eldest sister is stupid, are you also stupid? Can a fox pretend to be a tiger to scare me? Tang Jianwei, since you were a child, you have been the daughter of the original family, and no one is arrogant. Big! Now you are just a stray dog, the lackey of the eldest princess, or a lackey whose master ignores you and only deserves to stand by and serve others! You have a dirty mouth, your master has no time to teach you, I can Do it for me! Come!"

Tang Linglang said to the people behind her, "Slap me!"

"Yes!"

Three or four little ladies behind him were about to pinch Tang Jianwei's chin and raised their hands to hit him.

Tang Jianwei has kung fu, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Liuniang, who rushed to the front, dislocated his arm.

The cluck sound was extremely frightening, and Tong Shaoxuan was terrified when he heard it.

"come."

Tang Jianwei picked up the chicken on the table, pressed it on the chopping board, and chopped off the chicken's head with a knife.

There was a sound of "呲", blood spattered three feet.

Tong Shaoxuan, who was struggling to look in through the translucent screen, only felt a piece of warm chicken blood flash past her eyes, sprayed all over her eyes, and then dripped down the screen, staining the entire screen. It was bright red.

"Who's coming?!"

Tang Jianwei pointed at Tang Linglang and the others with a knife and shouted angrily. At the same time, the headless chicken rose into the air and danced wildly in midair.

The little ladies who rushed forward to slap their mouths had never seen such a horrible scene, the swords were shining, and the headless chicken flew towards them, so scared that they screamed and crazily backed away.

Tang Linglang was ruthlessly knocked to the ground, and then several people stepped on Tang Linglang's body and fled as if flying away.

"you……"

There was a fresh footprint on Tang Linglang's face, and all the bones in her body seemed to be crushed. Looking back, she happened to see Tang Jianwei standing behind her holding a bloody kitchen knife, staring at her with squinted eyes.

The blood on the knife was dripping, and Tang Jianwei's murderous aura was like a ghost from hell!

Tang Linglang was so frightened that she fell on the ground, the screen was knocked over in the chaos just now, and Tong Shaoxuan saw with his own eyes the murderous look on Tang Jianwei's face, which was beating someone with a kitchen knife, and the blood dripping down his face.

Heartbeat suddenly increased.

This time it wasn't throbbing, it was frightening.

What is lively and cute does not exist.

What a pity, does not exist.

I am afraid that the only one to be pitied is the chicken.

"They all escaped? Then you come." Tang Jianwei grabbed Tang Linglang's back collar, and pointed the knife at her delicate neck.

Tang Linglang felt the coldness of the knife, her face was ashen, and she was about to pee.

Tong Shaoxuan, a scholar in poor health, had never seen such a bloody scene, his face was as white as a sheet of paper, and he was leaning on the other side of the screen, precariously on the verge of falling.

"I advise the second sister not to provoke me. You also know that I have nothing now. The eldest sister is crazy, and I can be crazier than her. I don't promise that I won't chop up anything other than chicken heads..."

Tang Jianwei was about to pick up the knife and chop off Tang Linglang's head like a chicken head.

Tang Linglang yelled, and the kitchen knife slashed at her face with a bang, and the cold light flashed so hard that her eyes hurt.

Regardless of any restraint, Tang Linglang screamed and almost ran away scrambling.

At the same time, the headless chicken finally found a place to stay, and with a flutter of wings, it landed in Tong Shaoxuan's arms.

Tong Shaoxuan, who had a disheveled face, only felt a heat in her chest, and something fell from the sky and landed in her arms.When she lowered her head to see clearly, a stream of blood sprayed on her face, from the left cheek to the right eyebrow, there was a long streak of blood.

Tong Shaoxuan closed his eyes for a while, then opened them again, the headless chicken trembled several times under her gaze, and never moved again.

Tang Jianwei held the golden hairpin that Tang Linglang took off, looked in the direction Tang Linglang was fleeing from, sneered, and found Tong Shaoxuan when he turned around.

Who is this?

She didn't notice when there was one more person.

"Huh? You..."

Tang Jianwei was about to speak when the man closed his eyes, his whole body went limp, and he fainted on the spot while holding the chicken.

Tang Jianwei: "We finally met, what a glimpse!"

Tong Shaoxuan: "Yeah, there's nothing wrong with a surprised 'red' glance..."
