After Qian Mancang withdrew, Xiao Jingyu was the only one left in the study.He sat behind the table, still seriously thinking about the situation in the capital.Although his men and horses have to stand still, they can't really do nothing, at least they have to be vigilant all the time, just in case.

He thought of Tao Mansion again, Tao Liyong has always been an old fox, he would not offend anyone on the surface, and he has always been wise and safe.Even if it was an accident at the beginning, the princess married into the palace, but he didn't show any intention of getting close.

Now that Tao Anling is connected with Xiao Jingci, it looks like Tao Yongli's investment.But Tao Liyong's idea would not be Tao Liyong's idea for the elder brother who has not left the house to become an aide of the palace.After all, the brother who has not left the house has too many contacts with the King Liang who already has a princess, and everyone knows what kind of thoughts he has.Tao Liyong still pays attention to face.

Then it was Tao Anling's idea.A brother acts as a staff member, no matter how talented he is, no matter how much people praise him, he can't hide his ambition.Although it is undeniable that his methods are powerful.But the more powerful his means, the greater his ambition.

Xiao Jingyu couldn't help but think of his princess.Tao Anling should be regarded as the elder brother of the princess, but the princess is completely different from him.It should be said that the princess is different from everyone in Tao Mansion.Tao Anling and Tao Liyong's thoughts are very deep, but Wang Hao's thoughts are simple and easy to guess.

From the moment he saw the princess, the princess's thoughts seemed to be written on her face.What you like and what you don't like is pretty straightforward.He smiles when he is happy, and droops when he is sad.A clear mind and a simple life.

If the princess was not interested in making money, he would think that the princess is a person who wants nothing.Because he usually only stays in the yard, he doesn't have high requirements for food and clothing, and he doesn't like to socialize with others, so he feels a little calm and peaceful.

But even if he does business to make money, he is not just for himself.Kang and tofu have given many people more survival skills.At the beginning, alcohol was deliberately produced and sent to the barracks, just to reduce the pain of soldiers being injured.

Not to mention the improvement of salt and sugar, both of which are major issues in improving people's livelihood.If it gets out, his reputation may immediately surpass that of the so-called Tao Anling.But he didn't care at all, he took the initiative to cooperate with himself and handed over the prescription, just to make a little money.As long as there is a share, he will be happy.

Thinking about it this way, the princess really doesn't look like someone from the Tao family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyu woke up suddenly. After the absurd night happened, he asked people to investigate why such things happened that night, and what kind of person Tao Fu's concubine was.After all, although it is a sudden marriage, it is necessary to understand what kind of person the other party is, so as to facilitate future coping.

At that time, it was only known that they were all drugged, but it was too late to investigate, and there was no proof of death.But he always thought that Xiao Jingci sent someone to give him the medicine.Later, he was busy with marriage matters, so he didn't focus on pursuing it.

Thinking about it now, there were so many people at the banquet, why did Xiao Jingci choose the concubine from the Tao Mansion.If you want to humiliate him, there are not no people with lower status.Only with this status, the concubine of the House of Ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs can become the main concubine one step further, and the side concubine if one step back.It's just that at that time, the emperor father had the idea of ​​remedial, and directly bestowed him as the concubine.

But what if it wasn't Xiao Jingci's choice?

During the banquet at that time, Wang Hao was supposed to be with people from Tao Mansion.To be more precise, it should be a banquet with his elder brother Tao Anling in the flower hall where the family members are placed.There were so many noisy people, and he was the only one who took the medicine, which must have been given by someone close to him.Before the medicine takes effect, find a reason to send the person to the cubicle to rest.

So later when I found out that something was wrong, when I walked to the cubicle, I met the princess who had already taken Chinese medicine.And so the next thing happened.

The person who administered the drug was probably Tao Anling.His purpose is to facilitate this marriage, and then get what he wants.

It's just that Xiao Jingyu has been a little puzzled, what exactly does Tao Anling want?

Xiao Jingyu thought about the investigation of the princess back then.As the concubine of the Shangshu Mansion, the concubine's biological mother died young, and she seems to have been living in obscurity.No better than his elder brother Tao Anling, who is well-known in the capital for both talent and appearance, his reputation is not obvious, and he doesn't have many friends.Hearing from his mouth, he seems to have been following Tao Anling, quietly obeying his orders.They were also hailed as role models of brotherhood.

The princess under investigation is a person who depends on the eldest brother's breath to survive, and her biological father doesn't take it seriously.He is introverted and quiet, he can't express his thoughts, and he can only obey orders.If such a brother married into the palace, he would know some things about the palace.If one day Tao Anling wanted to know something and asked him, would he say it?

The answer is self-evident.

And this must be the result Tao Anling wanted.

But now things seem to be going wrong.

The current princess is obviously not the puppet in the original investigation.His princess is thoughtful, energetic, and has whimsy that no one else has.What he likes is also such a lovely and transparent princess now.

Since when did that change?

Xiao Jingyu thought that perhaps when returning to Yunzhou from the capital, the princess did not take away a dowry attendant from the Tao Mansion.Maybe it was the night of getting married, starting with the cup of wine that the two drank together.Or maybe it was when he asked the shadow guard to investigate the princess' wishes, saying that he voluntarily married into the palace.Or maybe it was earlier, when they met for the first time that night, when they met again in the spring, wind, rain and dew, they won the victory but there are countless people in the world.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.Not to mention that Tao Anran, who grew up in such an environment as the Tao Mansion, would not be the happy princess she is now.And there are also surprises that the princess shows from time to time.

Strange book?Are there really such wonderful books in this world, such as salt refining, sugar refining, kang repair, tofu making, wine making, alcohol, and farming, which involve all aspects of food, construction, engineering, medical crops?Even if there were, would there still be Journey to the West like those myths and legends in the book?

Not to mention that the princess doesn't seem to have the slightest attachment to Tao Mansion.Never heard him mention the past.No gifts were given on New Year's Day, and there was no news about it in normal times.It seemed that those people in Tao Mansion were strangers to him.

So, who is his princess?Is he still his princess?Is it a god, a human, or a ghost?

Xiao Jingyu frowned tightly, and encountered the most difficult problem in his life.But this difficult problem cannot be shared with others, and he can only be left to think alone.

Tao Anran didn't know that Xiao Jingyu had blown away his old background.After drinking ginger soup and warming up on the kang, he continued to recall the memories in his mind and wrote Journey to the West.

He still remembered the last time Xiao Jingyu asked him to read Journey to the West, but he didn't write it at that time, so he had to change the subject.Today is just free, and my hands are not cold, so I just write.In this way, if Xiao Jingyu urges another update, he doesn't have to be cowardly.

Tao Anran was humming a song that didn't make a tune, with joy on his face, and the tip of his pen didn't stop.

Bai Lu offered hot tea and said with a smile, "Princess Wang seems to be very happy today."

Han Lu continued from the side: "Could it be because the prince is back!"

After getting along for a long time, the two also knew the princess's temperament.She also dares to tease the princess in private, she usually doesn't mind, but occasionally becomes angry from embarrassment.

For example, at this time, Tao Anran heard what they said, and quickly denied it: "No way! I'm in a good mood all the time. Go, go, go and do your work, it's blocking my light."

Bai Lu and Han Lu looked at each other with a smile, and hurriedly retreated.They are still far away, how can they block the light.The concubine was clearly becoming angry from embarrassment, the tips of her ears were red, and she replied duplicity.

Tao Anran waited for Bai Lu Hanlu to leave, then quickly patted her face, and said to herself, "It's not because of Xiao Jingyu. It's because spring is here, and I can finally not stay indoors. So of course I'm happy. Yes, That's it."

Tao Anran persuaded herself like this, but a sentence echoed uncontrollably in her mind.

"Spring is here, everything is revived, and it's time for animals to mate again."

"Ah!!!" Tao Anran groaned in a low voice while shaking her head, trying to shake this sentence out of her mind.But the more this happened, the more these words kept echoing in his mind.

He opened the window and stuck his head out of the window. The spring rain was still pattering, and the oncoming coolness calmed him down a lot.He looked at Chun Yu and took a few deep breaths.After calming down, he closed the window as if nothing had happened, and continued with the previous work.It's just that the tip of the pen is always intermittent, without the coherence of the past.

I wrote this until dinner time, the rain outside didn’t stop, and it got dark early.When Bai Lu brought the meal, Tao Anran realized that so much time had passed.

Tao Anran always likes to have light and simple dinners, and everyone in the kitchen knows his habits.So today's dinner is a bowl of Yangchun noodles, with some side dishes.

Looking at the meal on the table, there is only one portion for him.Tao Anran couldn't help asking: "Where is your lord, have you eaten yet?"

Bai Lu quickly replied: "The lord seems to be busy in the front yard all the time, the slaves don't know."

"Oh." Tao Anran nodded to express understanding.Xiao Jingyu should have eaten in the front yard.He was already a busy person, so it was a coincidence that he could have dinner together at noon.In the past, except when he was injured and ate at the same table, he had never been at the same table.

It's getting late now, and I don't know if I will come to sleep at night.Although there is a heated kang in his room, but the weather is getting warmer, and now it is okay not to sleep on the heated kang.Xiao Jingyu probably will sleep in his Mo Yuntang directly as before.

Although Tao Anran understood everything, she was still a little disappointed.It is also possible that he ate too much at noon, and his appetite in the evening was not as good as usual, resulting in some dishes left.

Seeing this, Bai Lu hurriedly asked worriedly: "Princess, is this dinner not to your liking?"

Tao Anran saw that she was concerned about asking, and quickly smiled and said: "That's not the case. It's just that the dishes at noon are good, and I accidentally got full, so I don't seem to be so hungry now."

Seeing this, Bai Lu felt relieved, and said, "Then put a plate of snacks in the room, and eat when the princess is hungry."

Tao Anran quickly refused: "There's no need to put on snacks. I'm not hungry at all now, and I'm going to wash up and go to bed soon. Eating at night is not good for my teeth."

After hearing this, Bai Lu had no choice but to give up.
