Yangcheng

Wei Ci seemed to be in a good mood today, and woke up very early.

Because of Tao Banzhi's control over her drinking during this period, her headaches have been relieved a lot, and in the morning, she happily summoned two maidservants who are best at makeup to do her makeup.

This day was the Shangsi Festival on March [-]rd, and it was a holiday for the whole Cang. Tao Wanzhi didn't have to go to court, so he sat aside and watched Wei Ci get dressed with great interest.

Even though he is over [-] years old, Wei Ci's noble and proud temperament is still not comparable to ordinary people.

Even if she doesn't wear makeup on weekdays, Wei Ci's beauty is undeniable, let alone meticulously dressed.

The maids skillfully fixed the bun on top of Wei Ci's head, and carefully combed the black silk. The gorgeous high bun took nearly half an hour to complete.

Coupled with the application of powder and rouge, Wei Ci felt a little bored sitting.

Tao Wanzhi was afraid that she would spoil her temperament and didn't want to continue, so she would go out without makeup. Tao Wanzhi chatted with her from the side, chatting about the affairs of the court, and also showed Wei the interesting things he had found around Boling recently. Charity appreciates.

It is not uncommon for Wei Ci to see many of those flowers, birds, fish, insects and potted plants before.It wasn't until Tao Wanzhi took out a painting and showed it in front of her that her eyes paused for a moment on it, with some interest in exploring:

"Whose painting is this?"

Seeing that she was interested in knowing who painted this painting, Tao Wanzhi presumably had some appreciation for the painting, otherwise she would never have asked another word.

"On the lower right corner, there is only the date of the painting and a seal in white. Among the masters of the Boling School of Painting, I have never heard of anyone surnamed Bai. It must be an unknown junior. I passed by a newly opened painting workshop that day. I saw it when I saw it, and I thought it looked good, so I bought it. The gray mountains are a bit depressing, but when you look at them from the top of the mountains, you can get a kind of open state of mind. Presumably, the painter should be ambitious, optimistic and open-minded. man of."

The makeup on Wei Ci's head was not finished yet, but he stood up and slowly walked to the front of the painting while taking in all the details in the painting with his eyes.

The painting is neither big nor small, half as tall as her, but when appreciating it up close, you can more clearly feel the delicateness and majesty of the painting, as well as the unique greenness of young people.

After admiring it quietly for a while, Wei Ci asked Tao Wanzhi, "Where does Wanzhi think is the most suitable place to hang this painting?"

Tao Wanzhi said: "The bamboo wall to the east of Luoxia Terrace."

Wei Ci smiled at her and said, "It's exactly what I thought."

Tao Wanzhi's face was burned by Wei Ci's smile.

"Come out for a walk with me today." Wei Ci asked the maid to hang the painting on the Luoxia Terrace, and said to Tao Wanzhi.

Tao Wanzhi replied immediately: "Your Highness, wait for me for a while, I will go to make up now!"

Wei Ci said, "You don't necessarily need to dress up when you're young, it's already pretty."

Tao Wanzhi instantly glowed.

Your Highness is complimenting me!

"Come." Wei Ci waved to Tao Wanzhi, asking her to come to him.

Tao Wanzhi knelt down in front of Wei Ci, looking forward to it.

Wei Ci picked the most beautiful hibiscus from among the few flowers placed in the carved gold plate, and put it on Tao Wanzhi.

After putting it on, I looked at it for a while, and the beautiful hibiscus flower and the beautiful pottery handle complement each other.

Wei Ci stroked Tao Wanzhi's delicate and smooth face quite satisfied:

"It's as beautiful as I thought it would be."

It was just a guess before, but now Tao Wanzhi is sure, Wei Ci's mood today is indeed very unusual.

"Then... I'll wear it." Tao Wanzhi looked at the bronze mirror beside him, and the sight of her and Wei Ci snuggling together made her very attached.

She leaned on Wei Ci's lap, and said softly to the bronze mirror: "Look, Your Highness, how well these two match each other."

Wei Ci smiled and caressed her: "It's a match made in heaven."

During the ten-year Shangsi Festival in Tianxian, Wei Ci had only Tao Wanzhi as his female companion by his side.

The two sat in a carriage, no different from ordinary couples. After arriving at the bank of the Mingjiang River, they strolled side by side in the royal exclusive tree-lined promenade, and picked up a lot of spring and wild fun.

This is Tao Wanzhi's happiest day.

There were only her and Wei Ci on the long corridor, she could act like a baby to Wei Ci to her heart's content, and Wei Ci accepted all of them with a very good temper.

With the spring breeze blowing, Tao Wanzhi asked Wei Ci for a kiss, and he got his wish smoothly.

……

Holding each other's arms all the way inseparable, Wei Ci and Tao Wanzhi walked to an open banquet high stage, Wei Ci asked the shadow guard who had been following behind him to come over, and after a few words, the shadow guard said "here" and immediately Quickly went to the place of banquet.

Wei Ci led Tao Wanzhi to shuttle under the winding shade of trees, and came to a deserted place, not long after, Wei attacked.

"See you saint." Tao Wanzhi immediately followed Wei Ci to salute.

It seems that today's grand banquet on the edge of the Ming River is the Tail Burning Banquet hosted by the emperor, no wonder it is so grand.

Wei Xi's normal clothes are still low-key but dignified and solemn, and he seems to be in a particularly good mood, a bit brighter than Wei Ci.

After exempting himself from the courtesy, Wei Xi smiled brightly at Wei Ci:

"My sister is dressed so brightly today, I just looked at it from a distance, and I thought I was a young lady who had just grown up."

Tao Wanzhi who stood aside did not dare to laugh out loud: "..."

The emperor didn't call "Emperor Sister" but directly called "Sister". It is conceivable that the summoning of grandson Yin back to Boling caused much trouble to Wei Cihui, and the emperor was well aware of it.

No, they all started to please her as a younger sister.

Wei Ci held Tao Wanzhi's arm, and leaned gently on her body, and said to her with a smile that would have exposed Wei Xi long ago:

"The emperor said these embarrassing compliments, if others heard it, they would not be afraid of being laughed at."

Wei Xi said: "Chengcan speaks the truth. In Chengcan's heart, sister is the most beautiful woman in the world. Besides, there are no outsiders here, so who would laugh at her?"

Hearing Tao Wanzhi's words, it seemed as if she had been approved by Wei Ci's family, and the emperor had already regarded her as one of his own... couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

"I came to see His Majesty today because I have something important to talk about." Wei Ci is not used to talking about such gossip, "Your Majesty must already know about the situation in Duoyi Kingdom."

Wei Xi said slowly: "Lu Wenyu has slaughtered all the people involved in the iron smelting workshop in Duoyi country, more than 8000 people were killed overnight, and people are still disappearing quietly one after another in the follow-up. No body can be seen, and people in the Duoyi Kingdom are panicking. However, Lu Wenyu has a way to cover up the truth of the massacre by using the legend of the brain-eating ghosts of the Duoyi Kingdom. According to the news from the leader of the Duoyi Kingdom The secret letter said that all the logs of the iron smelting workshop operated by the Dalan family have been lost, and may have been burned, leaving no clues that can be traced. This happened before Lu Wenyu went. It was almost at the same time as my uncle's death, within a few days. And Lu Wenyu was clearly going to kill the grass and roots. Now the king of Duoyi Kingdom has hunted down Lu Wenyu within the entire territory."

After hearing Wei Xi's words, Wei Ci was a little annoyed: "Uncle just passed away, there was news from Duoyi Country and the hidden dangers were quickly cut off. One can imagine how many eyeliners there are in Cang, and how fast the news spreads."

Wei Xi looked at the extremely broad river on the Tianshui line, and looked at her country: "This Lu Wenyu is sometimes crazy, drunk and dreaming of life and death, and sometimes he is fierce and decisive. The king of Duoyi Kingdom has been searching vigorously, but he has not been able to find her. ...This person is indeed troublesome."

Wei Ci said: "As long as Lu Lan's heart will come back and still eat His Majesty's salary, His Majesty will have a chance to get rid of her. Moreover, if you want to hold this person tightly and even use her to counter the Lan family, there are other ways. "

Wei Xi turned to stare at her, waiting for her to continue.

"Why did Lu Lanxin disappear in the Dongxiaomen incident? Your good daughter-in-law of Tong Aiqing has sent me a letter to find out the truth."

"Oh? Tang Sanniang?" When Wei Xi heard about this, his melancholy soon turned into a smile, "I heard that she vowed to replace Cao Long as the imperial sister's confidant, but I didn't expect the child to be delivered smoothly, and all the troubles in her hands were fine. stop."

Wei Xi is very interested in the Tong family.

Needless to say, Tong Shaoxuan, a child prodigy, and Tang Sanniang, who is famous for Boling, and the captain of the Qingqi school who called her "a dog better than the emperor" just now, is also named Tong, right?

Wei Ci was noncommittal about Tang Jianwei's ability: "At that time, Lu Lanxin didn't have other plans to deliberately not go, but was tied down by a person."

Tang Jianwei didn't know the specific truth at the beginning, and if she asked Shi Ruzhuo, she might not be able to tell her bluntly, and then asked Abai to invite her back to the Tongfu, but she was also perfunctory.

Tang Jianwei was afraid that it would be too dangerous for Shi Ruzhuo to be out alone, so he sent someone to investigate the matter, and learned the general process from the owner of Lingnan Restaurant.

It turned out that Shi Ruzhuo really made an appointment with Lu Lanxin, and Lu Lanxin went to her appointment regardless of the overall situation, just for a meal...

Shi Ruzhuo had already put himself in danger, and wanted to hold back the pace of the Lan family.

Tang Jianwei also understood why Shi Ruzhuo didn't return to Tongfu.

Shi Ruzhuo restrained Lu Lan's heart, and Lu Lan's heart was crazy because she didn't care about family affairs. How could Lan Wan let Shi Ruzhuo go with her temperament?

If Shi Ruzhuo returns to the Tongfu, although he can get shelter for a while, but in the long run, he will definitely implicate the Tongfu at some point inadvertently.

Shi Ruzhuo was carefully protecting the Tongfu, and after Tang Jianwei knew about this, it was even more impossible for her to be left alone and become the meat on Lan's chopping board.

If there is a place in Boling that is absolutely safe, even the Lan clan's forces cannot reach it, it is the territory of the Tian family.

It is impossible for her to live in Shuyuan, so Taiping Mansion may be the best home.

Tang Jianwei told Wei Ci about Shi Ruzhuo restraining Lu Lanxin, and wanted Shi Ruzhuo to get the protection of Taiping Mansion.

After all, the eldest princess has a reputation for taking young women as her retainers, even if there is one more person in the mansion, it will not attract attention.

When Wei Ci received Tang Jianwei's letter back then, he quickly dismantled how she made up her own mind, and remained silent to the letter.After thinking about more than a dozen ways to make Tang San's butt blossom, he calmed down, and was still somewhat interested in this Shi Ruzhuo.

Today, Wei Ci and Tao Wanzhi's Spring Festival is the same, and it is also the same to tell the emperor that the orthographic character of the surname Shi is usable.

Wei Xi was a little interested in this Shi Zhengzi, and he also had an impression of this person during the palace examination. He seemed to be a capable man with an ugly appearance but a sharp writing style.

She asked Wei Ci to stay in the Taiping Mansion temporarily to protect her life, and then go to Taiping Mansion to meet him after the Shangsi Festival.

The two sisters talked about some important things again, and Tao Wanzhi stayed by his side the whole time without any complaints.

After they finished speaking, Wei Ci and Tao Wanzhi left and continued to enjoy the spring.

Wei Xi also walked back alone.

On the path leading to the banquet, Wei Xi was thinking about the affairs of the Duoyi Kingdom when he vaguely heard a voice behind him.

She didn't pay attention at first, but when the voice got closer and closer, she realized that it was calling her.

"Sister! That sister in front!"

Wei Xi looked back, isn't this the Qingqi captain who scolded her earlier?

Tong Shaozhuo was afraid that the smell of wine would be too strong after drinking early in the morning. If the emperor was happy to get in close contact with them, it would be difficult for the emperor to smell the alcohol.He was even more afraid that he would offend the emperor with drunken nonsense, which would be a serious crime, so he drank sober tea again.

After this back and forth, my stomach was full of water, and I couldn't hold it anymore. Seeing that the emperor hadn't appeared yet, I went to find the toilet.

Unexpectedly, this place is really too big, it is the royal garden, she got lost after walking a few steps, and no one can ask her, she wandered here for a long time, and finally saw someone.

When Wei Xi looked at Tong Shaozhuo, there was a slight noise in the surrounding woods, which was the hidden guard who was on guard.

With his hands behind his back, Wei Xi told the hidden guards that he was fine for the time being and told them not to show up.

Soon the soft sound of the woods died away.

The hidden guards of the guards are all top experts, who are best at hiding their whereabouts. At this time, Tong Shaozhuo's drunkenness has not completely disappeared, so she didn't pay much attention to the soft noise just now.

Seeing that the person in front of him was wearing a black long gown, with a pair of azure phoenix eyes indifferently, exuding a strong aura of nobility all over his body, he must be a nobleman, or a young high-ranking official who is going to participate in today's burning tail banquet.

Tong Shaozhuo was momentarily dazed by the stunning beauty and strong coldness of the person in front of him.

The words she wanted to ask for directions when she was yelling to the back just now, the moment the other party turned around and saw the other party's appearance clearly, she was so fascinated that she was completely speechless.

She has never seen such a woman...

It seems soft and pliable, yet sacrosanct.

"What's the matter?" Wei Xi asked lightly.

Tong Shaozhuo suddenly said: "Sister, I'm lost... May I ask where the banquet by the river should go?"

Wei Xi asked her: "Are you Tong Shaozhuo?"

"Yes!" Tong Shaozhuo didn't expect this person to know him, "Is my sister here to drink too?"

You still call me sister...

Wei Xi thought to himself, it seems that the Tong family may not all be as smart as Tong Shaoxuan, and there are also lack of understanding.

Feeling a little funny, Wei Xi said, "I'm going to the banquet too, so follow me."

Tong Shaozhuo was overjoyed: "That's great! Thank you, sister!"
