ex-wife asura field
Chapter 25 Taste
Wei Chenai's fingers passed her neck, and Jiang Jingying felt a slight electric current flowed into the skin she touched, and a numbness crawled down her neck, a little itchy, and she woke up instantly. The morning instinct of young people.
She rolled her throat slightly, and suppressed a certain impulse that was rising up in her body, raised her hand to brush Wei Chenai's fingertips away, frowned slightly, and asked the other party:
"what?"
Obviously, she didn't know what marks were on her neck.
Wei Chenai saw that she didn't know what was going on, the smile on her lips froze, and then suddenly turned her head to ask Hong'er who was waiting for Jiang Jingying to wash up, but seeing the strange atmosphere, she had to lower her head and lower her sense of presence.
"Last night, did someone come into your lady's boudoir?"
Hong'er shook her head. From her perspective, she could only see Jiang Jingying's profile. Although she didn't know what happened, she still answered the prince's question honestly:
"I heard from the housekeeper that when the master first made his fortune a few years ago, he always caused many thieves to worry about him, but later on, he gradually had house guards, and this situation never happened again. Our mansion is heavily guarded. There will be someone who can threaten the safety of the young lady."
Not outsiders.
That is...
Others allowed to be entered?
Wei Chenai easily thought of his half-sisters yesterday afternoon, his eyes glowed coldly, and the smile on his lips became mocking.
Seeing this change in her expression, Jiang Jingying also realized that there were some shady marks on her neck.
Raising her hand to touch it, Jiang Jingying felt a slight pain that was basically imperceptible if she didn't notice it specially.
She frowned and looked at Wei Chenai in front of her, raised her eyebrows, moved her lips, and said:
"A thief calling for a thief?"
Wei Chenai was about to continue asking Hong'er who was on duty last night, and she had the audacity to let someone in to have a tryst with her young lady, when she suddenly heard Jiang Jingying's question, her anger seemed to have been pressed the pause button.
"What?" Wei Chenai looked at Jiang Jingying again.
Jiang Jingying put down her hand, her expression still indifferent, she said to Wei Chenai: "Isn't this your masterpiece?"
One second he was planting strawberries on his neck, and the next he pretended to have amnesia and started to be madly jealous with her?
Wei Chenai: "...?"
She didn't seem to expect to hear such an answer, her eyes unconsciously wandered to Jiang Jingying's neck, and her tone was a little strange: "Baby, who did you meet with me behind my back last night, and you still don't know who you are?" You mistook that lover for me, huh?"
Because the answer was too weird, for the first time in his life, Wei Chenai couldn't decide whether he should continue to be angry, or what point he should be angry with.
Both of them are very righteous, and there is even a subtle sense of blaming each other in their expressions, and even the emotions in their eyes are synchronized.
Hong'er was at a loss when she heard it, although she knew that there was no room for her to intervene when the masters opened their mouths, but seeing that the prince seemed to have a rift with the young lady because of unwarranted matters, she had no choice but to speak weakly: "Miss yesterday My son went to bed very early at night, and Lan'er and I watched the night together, and no one came in between."
Jiang Jingying frowned, looked at the ancient carved bed she was on at the moment, and muttered:
"Could it be... a dream?"
Last night, being forced by Wei Chenai and four people to choose and choose, the tragic scene of choosing one to die, is it just a dream?
But if it was really a dream, why did it leave marks on her neck?
Hearing what Jiang Jingying said, Wei Chenai was skeptical. It stands to reason that she would not believe it at all when she heard such a ridiculous reason.
But when Xiaoying just woke up, seeing her evasive expression, and her natural questioning after she discovered this strange trace, were all too natural.
If it was played...
Then she must have been blind for more than twenty years before she could see clearly what her sweetheart looked like for a moment.
Jiang Jingying was born in a wealthy family. Her education in poetry and books and her growing environment, including her family's comfortable living conditions, meant that she didn't have to worry about the ways of the world, and she could get things that ordinary people couldn't get without effort. .
What's more, she is still the only daughter of the Jiang family, and sometimes her life is better than that of the royal family on the bright side.
In other words, she did not practice lying.
And Wei Chenai went in and out of the study with the old emperor since he was a child, and now he even personally participates in the government affairs. He has seen many people who are obedient and vicious, and it is not impossible to not even hear cheap lies.
I may have misunderstood...
Thinking of this, the smile on Wei Chenai's lips stretched slightly, like a brilliant and warm iris blooming wantonly under the scorching sun, with a bit of coquettishness in its elegant arc.
Although she couldn't figure out why Jiang Jingying had such imaginative marks on her body after she just slept.
It doesn't matter, she just asked someone to check carefully.
"What did you dream about me?" Wei Chenai was happy and angry, she was still looking like a rainstorm just now, but now she unknowingly dissipated all the dangerous aura, bent her waist and leaned in front of Jiang Jingying , asked with a smile.
Jiang Jingying pursed her lips, and the line of her lips was slightly straightened, which meant she refused. She didn't intend to say those absurd and terrible things before she figured out the weird dream before.
She just wanted to make a final confirmation: "You really don't remember?"
Wei Chenai opened his red lips, and silently laughed, now he was really interested in exploring the content of Jiang Xiaoying's dream, so he lured her to continue with a teasing tone:
"Tell me, what should I remember?"
While speaking, she still felt that the small purple mark on the other's neck was an eyesore, so she changed her thumb and pressed on the mark unhappily, rubbing it up and down, but only made the skin redder.
Even a little red and purple, more obvious than before.
Jiang Jingying didn't feel that obvious at first, but when she rubbed her fingers twice, she felt that the skin was hot and uncomfortable, so she could only frown, raised her hand to hold her evil hand, and stopped it: "Stop making trouble. "
"Don't you want me to meet people today?"
Wei Chenai frowned, and replied with a smile: "It's not bad if you say so."
"In the future, I will build a special room for you and hide you in it. Only I can see it every day. When the time comes—"
Jiang Jingying couldn't hear her nonsense, and interrupted: "Wei...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wei Chenai raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, eyes glued to her were full of doting, and replied in a good voice: "Okay, please, please, I know you are shy, so I just don't say anything."
"Let's go back to what happened just now. What did you dream about me last night? Did you remember something from the past? Or..."
She elongated her tone, and suddenly stuck out her tongue and licked her lower lip. The bright red lips were immediately covered with water, her eyes narrowed, and her eyes swept up and down her body covered by the quilt, implying that The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Jiang Jingying: "..."
She felt the veins on her forehead twitch, and turned to Hong'er next to her, "I'm getting up now, is the washing water ready?"
Hong'er replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Jiang Jingying lifted the quilt, ignoring a certain prince who came to her room early in the morning to tease her with words, got up and walked to the washing basin, ready to tidy herself up.
How could Wei Chenai do what she wished, and chased after Jiang Jingying relentlessly, as if she had guessed what Jiang Jingying was thinking, like a bad boy in kindergarten who wanted to attract girls' attention, and after Jiang Jingying finished rinsing her mouth, she smiled smirk again Follow up and ask:
"So you don't want me to know, is it some kind of unspeakable dream?"
Jiang Jingying had just wrung out the towel and was about to wipe her face, when she heard her implying that she was having a dream, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Maybe it was the dream last night that cast a shadow on her. Jiang Jingying, who has always been respectful and law-abiding, under the childish questioning of Wei Chenai——
In the next moment, with a blank face, he slapped the towel on Wei Chenai's face with his backhand.
Wei Chenai was suddenly stunned by the cold towel paste.
There was a bit of ignorance on her bright and charming face that didn't suit her temperament.
After Jiang Jingying finished filming, she was a little taken aback.
Hong'er next to her watched her young lady's presumptuous behavior, swallowed forcefully, and let out a "gudong".
Although the young lady and His Royal Highness have been on good terms since childhood, as the prince got older, the young lady became more sensible. Although everyone knew that the prince had an unusual relationship with her, she had never done anything that would offend the prince. move.
Now that Miss has lost her memory...
It's a lot bolder.
Hong'er thought about it left and right, her heart was beating almost out of her throat, and she felt that she should do something to save the young lady.
Just heard a "plop"——
Jiang Jingying and Wei Chenai returned to their senses at the same time, looking at Hong'er next to them.
Jiang Jingying frowned, she was not used to the rhythm of knelt down at every turn, and was just about to get over this mistake by herself, when she suddenly heard a "puchi" laugh.
Wei Chenai's shoulders were trembling with a smile, he raised his hand to catch the towel that had slipped from his face, and passed it towards Jiang Jingying, and waved his other hand towards Hong'er, signaling her that it's okay, just get up.
Jiang Jingying took the towel and was about to apologize when she saw the person in front of her, who seemed to have been poked into a laughing point, and couldn't stop for a while, before she stood up straight and asked herself:
"Are you outraged?"
Jiang Jingying: "..." Suddenly she didn't want to apologize.
Wei Chenai still didn't think it was enough, so he put his hand on her shoulders, and moved closer to her. She was wearing a long skirt today, and the fabric around her neck was embroidered with nets. Grass covered her milk-white skin.
The line of the clavicle passes faintly along the edge of the fabric, and the skin exposed by the translucent fabric is like a white magnet, attracting people's attention at first glance, and it is difficult to break free after sticking.
Jiang Jingying is not used to facing Wei Chenai's enchanting temperament directly, so she lowered her eyes, but she suddenly looked at the skin near her neck, saw the pattern of colored lines that seemed to be painted directly on her skin, and was attracted by the enchanting The strange picture grabbed my mind.
For a moment I forgot to breathe.
Wei Chenai's mind was full of the action that she just didn't want to paste the towel on her face just now, and it was rare that she didn't catch Jiang Jingying's distraction, but she was just happy with her extraordinarily presumptuous behavior in the eyes of others.
She moved her face closer to Jiang Jingying's, as if sending it up on her own initiative, and said with a smile on her face:
"If you're not happy, can you hit me again?"
Jiang Jingying: "..."
Neuropathy.
Her last thought of apologizing was gone, she lowered her head silently, soaked the towel in water again, twisted it, pressed her face, and refused to pay attention to Wei Chenai, who had a strange smile.
Wei Chenai didn't get the reaction he wanted, and he wasn't annoyed at all, but just looked at her with a smile on his face, with a hint of doting in his eyes.
Jiang Jingying turned her head after washing her face, almost dazzled by the smile on her face, and then heard Wei Chenai ask with a smile:
"Hello me again with your towel?"
Jiang Jingying: "..." She wants to know now, could it be that Wei Chenai looks like a queen, but is actually a masochist?
……
afternoon.
Wei Chenai, who actually sneaked out of the palace on the pretext of helping his younger siblings to check their homework, was forced to return to the palace after only one lunch in Jiangfu under the urging of those around him, intentionally or unintentionally.
When Fang walked out of Jiangfu, the smile on her lips faded, got into the carriage, and drove about a street, Wei Chenai heard a slight sound on the roof of the carriage.
She raised her hand to lift the curtain, and amidst the regular rattling of the wheels, she asked, "How is the investigation?"
"Prince Rui rested early in the mansion last night, and the prime minister was called into the palace by the emperor to discuss the Beirong matter with the general." A voice from the roof of the car entered her ears, without saying a word, very clearly , The conversation between the two was not affected at all by the driving of the carriage and the voices of people in the street outside.
A moment of thought flashed in Wei Chenai's eyes——
In other words, those people did not turn back to Jiangfu.
Do you want to believe that Xiaoying's dream is unusual, or...
Wei Chenai said softly: "I see." Then he put down the curtain, and slowly leaned against the cushion of the carriage.
With her, Prince Rui, and Wei Shendi as rivals, plus that eccentric Wei Chenxi, ordinary people would not have the guts to join Xiaoying's side.
If so-
It is estimated that without her doing anything, they are all dead without a place to bury them.
Thinking of this, the corners of Wei Chenai's lips curled up, and somehow he thought of the rumor about Jiang Jingying's birth.
In the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, everyone knew that Jiang's daughter was born with auspiciousness and auspicious stars, even her father firmly believed in it.
Since Jiang Jingying was born, the Jiang family's business has been booming, and now it is the number one richest businessman in Wei Dynasty, with financial resources almost rivaling that of the country, which made the people believe in the rumor even more.
When exaggerating in the storytelling of the restaurant, she even bluntly stated that she is the one who can save the fate of the Wei Dynasty, and that in the future she will enter the palace as the queen and the mother of the world.
Wei Chenai raised his right hand, rubbed his forehead with his index finger, rubbed it slowly, the cynical smile on his face faded, and his demeanor became much colder.
Thinking of Prince Rui's current power in the palace, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
——No one can take Xiaoying away from her.
If Jiang Jingying is going to be a queen in the future, it must also be... her queen.
At the same time, Jiangfu.
Jiang Jingying deliberately chose a dress with a higher neckline in the morning to block the strawberry print on her neck, but now her lunch break is a bit stuffy, and there is a line of dark color on the collar that is wet with sweat, so she has to change it again .
Fortunately, Wei Chenbi's conscious world is not so well-regulated as to completely copy the details of life in ancient dynasties. In Jiang Jingying's view, these clothes take into account both appearance and comfort. very resistant.
Seeing the mark on her neck, Huang'er offered to suggest: "Miss, why don't you cover it with a layer of powder, so that you don't have to suffer in that high-necked dress."
Jiang Jingying was intimidated by the four surnamed Wei yesterday, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the self-proclaimed things of the people around her. Now that she has time, just let them call themselves "I" on weekdays, and don't kneel down at all times.
Then he nodded to Huang'er, and asked her to come over with the powder box to cover the marks on her neck for her.
Huang'er didn't know about the conversation she had with Wei Chenai in the morning, and she was too young to know what to do, so she complained now:
"What kind of insect bites this? It's such a big area. Miss, don't you really need to ask a doctor to take a look? Or let Lan'er take a look first."
Jiang Jingying shook her head, and said calmly and perfunctorily: "No need, probably because there were too many flowers and plants planted in the courtyard earlier, which attracted more mosquitoes. The curtains should not be drawn tightly last night, so I was bitten."
Lan'er, who was tidying up the house inside, heard the conversation between the two of them, poked her head out and asked, "Miss, but I remember that Mr. Xiangguo gave you a good medicine jade to wear by your side, that medicine jade can not only drive away evil spirits, It can also avoid insects, why are you still bitten?"
Jiang Jingying: "..."
Seeing Huang'er in front of me was stunned for a moment, and looked up curiously, Jiang Jingying could only follow along: "I don't know, I didn't even see what the bug that bit me looked like, maybe that bug happened to be Don’t be afraid of the type of medicine jade.”
Lan'er suddenly realized "Oh", and Jiang Jingying heard her talking to herself: "Then this bug must be unusual. I'll look for it in the yard these two days to see if I can catch it."
If they were caught, they might have to go to the East Palace to catch them, Jiang Jingying thought calmly.
Huang'er, who was in front of her, had already helped her put layer after layer of powder on her neck. Now that she was done with work, she got up by herself, looked around, and clapped her hands: "Miss, you're done, I'll get you some noodles." Look in the mirror."
Jiang Jingying nodded, and after Huang'er brought the mirror, Lan'er went out holding the clothes she just changed.
She stared at herself in the bronze mirror, thoughts flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly asked the maid in front of her:
"I remember that you admire Mr. Xiangguo. Now I don't remember many things. I'm afraid I will make people laugh when I go out. Why don't Huang Er tell me, how much do you know about Mr. Xiangguo?"
Hearing her mentioning Xiangguo, Huang'er was really excited, the light in her eyes was exactly like a fan's look when she heard a passerby mention her idol:
"Miss wants to know Xiangguo's story?"
"That's too much. I helped the lady go out to buy incense powder a few days ago, and found that even the owner of the tea stall on the roadside knew about Xiangguo—"
Jiang Jingying squeezed into the topic appropriately, and picked the key point to ask: "Do you know where Mr. Xiangguo learned his skills? He was born with it, or...?"
The little girl Huang Er was questioned.
Her eloquent posture was interrupted, she choked for a moment, subconsciously followed Jiang Jingying's words and said, "What is it?"
Blinking her eyes, Huang'er suddenly said: "Oh, is Miss Xiangguo's ability to control wind and rain? Someone once speculated that she was taken away by the Miao people after the fire that year, and then she was instructed by an expert to go to the Dao, he could have become a fairy, but he wanted to repay the kindness of the King of Wei, so he came here to assist the King, so as to protect the prosperity of the Great Wei for a hundred years."
After thinking about it, she said regretfully, "It's a pity that you don't remember it anymore, miss. This folk guess is somewhat true. The miss told me that Xiangguo really came back from Miaojiang—"
"I don't know how you communicated with her inexplicably through letters. If Miss can recall it, she will know more than me from hearsay."
Compared with Huang'er's superficial demeanor of "Our Lord Xiangguo is really kind-hearted, disregarding past suspicions, and knowingly repaying favors", Jiang Jingying's expression is very calm.
wrong.
she thinks.
No, according to what Jiang Dahe and Yang Sui said before going to bed last night, Wei Chenxi was born by her mother who asserted that she was haunted by demons, and later a fire in the palace proved her mother and concubine's prophecy, which caused panic. All believed that her existence was a disaster.
Will Wei Chenxi want to repay this dynasty?
Besides, based on what she told the court about the Miao Village being condemned by God after she returned to the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, it can be seen that she should have had some conflicts with her mother's family during the years when she was living outside and no one else knew about it.
At least from Jiang Jingying's stories about Wei Chenxi, none of them mentioned that the mother who disappeared with her back then, who said that there was a devil in her body, and the concubine who made her own daughter born with a curse, ended up with what happened?
She closed her eyes lightly.
The image of being forced to drink the blood flooded into her mind again, including the smile on Wei Chenxi's sickly face, which she vividly remembered.
"In their dreams, they want to take a bite of me, eat my blood, drink my flesh..."
Who are they?
Judging from Wei Chenxi's emotions at the time, the eating of meat and blood in these words is probably not the exploitation that most people think, but...
Really.
After Jiang Jingying drank her blood, she unconsciously caused thunder to melt the thick iron chain on her wrist, which also proved one point: Wei Chenxi is probably really different from ordinary people.
Looking at her character of repaying every grievance, even if she returns to Da Wei, she might not be able to match the word repaying her kindness.
Seeing that her thoughts were about to diverge to a farther place, Jiang Jingying pulled back in time, pretending to be understated and casually mentioned: "Master Xiangguo is so extraordinary, there should be many people in the court who are jealous of her, she should be an enemy Not a lot."
Who would be the one who can push Wei Chenxi to that point?
Huang'er raised her hand and scratched her head. She was really caught by Jiang Jingying's words. She obviously wasn't serving Wei Chenxi, but she acted like she knew her idol's life like the back of her hand, counting with her fingers. Forget it, muttered in a low voice:
"There are people who are jealous of Mr. Xiangguo, but Xiangguo is extraordinary, and no one dares to provoke him here in Wei."
Jiang Jingying's expression changed——
No one dares to mess with Wei?
She quickly played back the content of last night's dream in her mind, and quickly caught the keyword "to the east". The east... generally defaults to the location of the mainland of the country.
Moreover, there are not many people who can know where the power in her blood originates from, how to use and transfer it.
Jiang Jingying thought about it, and a guess gradually appeared in her mind:
Could it be that those Miao people back then did not die out?
It's normal when you think about it. After all, they are a nation living in the mountains, and the locations of the cottages should be very scattered. If you want to catch all the residents in the corners and leave no one behind, it is much more difficult than going to heaven.
Seeing that Jiang Jingying's expression gradually turned solemn, Huang'er's face showed some doubts. She reflected that she probably didn't say anything, why did the young lady look so ugly?
After hesitating again and again, she called out, "Miss?"
Jiang Jingying frowned, and looked up at her, only to realize that she had been holding the mirror in the same position for too long, she leaned back in the chair, handed the mirror out, and said in a low voice:
"It's okay, by the way, I just saw that among the clothes that Lan'er carried out, there is one that I will wear when I go out later, please call her back for me."
Huang'er responded to everything, and walked out briskly, like a happy little oriole.
……
After a while.
Lan'er hastily hugged those clothes just now and turned back, her expression was a bit at a loss: "Miss, I remember that you just changed these clothes...?"
Jiang Jingying showed just the right amount of surprise on her face: "Yeah, that's probably because I remembered wrong——"
"It's okay, you put your things down first, I have other things to ask you."
Lan'er looked at her neck, and found that the previous marks had been covered, and she didn't look uncomfortable, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and answered her seriously: "Miss has something to do, but I can tell you."
Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Jiang Jingying guessed that there should be some distance between her room and the washing place, so she casually took the cup next to her, poured her a cup, and said to her:
"Don't worry, drink some water first."
Lan'er's face showed a little flattered, she hurriedly said that she didn't dare to take it seriously, she quickly took the teacup and put it down, but felt that it was inappropriate, so she picked it up and took a sip.
Jiang Jingying saw that she was breathing more evenly, so she asked unhurriedly: "I remember that you admired Prince Rui, I don't know if you still remember how I met Prince Rui, on weekdays... what kind of relationship do you have?" ?”
As soon as Lan'er heard that she was asking this question, she became energetic immediately, and the exhaustion from running all the way back just now was swept away, and she hurriedly said: "Of course I remember."
"The day Miss was rescued by Prince Rui, I was the one who was by Miss's side."
Jiang Jingying frowned, "Really?"
She asked the question calmly, but Lan'er was worried that she would not believe her, so she insisted on saying, "Exactly, Miss Liu was invited by the daughter of Shangshu's family to go to the Huguo Temple outside the city to pay respects to the Buddha. slip."
"At that time, Liu Shangshu's daughter was halfway up the steps, but somehow she stepped on the air, and even accidentally pushed the young lady, but I didn't stop her."
"It happened that Prince Rui was also at the Huguo Temple that day, and his bodyguards rushed to save people, so Hao Xuan protected Miss."
Jiang Jingying let out a "huh" and asked, "What about after that? How is my friendship with Prince Rui?"
"Of course it's excellent. Miss liked the dishes of a small shop in the north of the city before, and she agreed with Prince Rui to have dinner there in the future when she is free. It's a pity..." Lan'er stopped talking just in time, but her eyes still showed I'm sorry to come.
Jiang Jingying's elbow rested on the armrest of the chair. Hearing what she said, she couldn't help but raised her eyebrows. Her slender fingertips flicked twice on the cool wooden armrest, and Lan'er unexpectedly answered:
"What shop, I'll go and have a look."
According to her experience, as long as she went out, she would definitely encounter the Asura Field, and now that she deliberately went to Wei Chenyi's place, the probability of encountering this person was greatly increased.
Lan'er just wanted to persuade, but remembered that the master and his wife had already lifted the young lady's stay-at-home order, so when the words came to her lips, she responded, "Hey, I'll let Hong'er comb your hair."
……
Jiang Jingying sat in Jiangfu's carriage and staggered all the way to the north of the city. The BMW she was going out suddenly changed to "BMW", which she was not used to.
When she got off the carriage, she shook, and Jiang Jingying looked at the restaurant in front of her.
The store is small, beyond her expectation, but the decoration inside is not simple——
What came into view was a dark wall. Jiang Jingying thought it was black stone at first, but it wasn't until she saw the faintly reflected light from inside that she suddenly realized that it was not black, but dark purple.
She took two steps closer and saw what was glowing in the center of the wall.
A large piece of bright amethyst, a whole piece of natural crystal stone, if it is not because the shop is in a backlit position, whenever light falls in, the light reflected by the countless finely cut surfaces of the concave crystal wall will , can make the whole Wei people amazed.
What a great handwriting.
Jiang Jingying withdrew her gaze, guessing that the owner of this store might be either rich or expensive, what's more...
Maybe the owner of this house is Wei Chenyi.
She guessed in her heart that there was a big difference, but her face remained calm. She had just stepped into the shop a few steps, when she saw a maid coming over with a smile, saluted her, and called out:
"Miss Jiang."
"I haven't seen you for a long time. It just so happens that our master chef is here today. Do you want to try the new dishes?"
The maid familiarly led her to go in, walked through the hall with small bridges and flowing water, and the sound of bamboo boards, and took her to sit in the seat she liked most before.
Jiang Jingying watched them pour water, set out snacks, and fruits, and asked casually, "What's new today?"
Lan'er who came with her seemed to want to remind her, but before she had time, the maid who brought her here grinned and replied: "Master always cooks as he likes, and he doesn't make menus. If you don't like , I will ask the kitchen... to change it for you."
When it came to changing people, the maidservant's face showed some hesitation.
Jiang Jingying nodded thoughtfully: "That's it."
She drank the tea slowly, waiting for the dishes to come, and sipping the mellow black tea, her nerves, which had been tense all day, unconsciously relaxed a lot.
Until the first dish is presented——
This is more like a dim sum. From the outside, it should be a paper skin that has been ground into pulp and rolled out from rice. It is light, thin, and somewhat translucent. It wraps the ingredients in circles, revealing a little red and green colors.
Refreshing and cool, with a little fruity sweetness.
After Jiang Jingying bit it down, she chewed it slowly for a while before she could tell that the fruit inside should be some melon, and the end was a bit unexpectedly sour.
It seems that the fruit plate is mixed into this small group of magical rice clothes, which is satisfying and appetizing.
She looked at the remaining bite on the chopsticks, raised and lowered the corners of her lips slightly, then put down the chopsticks, and summoned the maid: "Your rare master who came today, can I see you?"
The maid looked embarrassed and said to her: "Master never sees guests, this is a set rule—"
Jiang Jingying raised her eyebrows, picked up the tea cup and blew on it, and then said unhurriedly: "Please tell His Highness Prince Rui again, just say that I want to see her, if she really doesn't want to come, then forget it. "
Hearing her revealing the identity of the owner of the restaurant, the maidservant showed surprise in her eyes, and even Lan'er, who came with her, covered her mouth a little.
"Miss……?"
Was this actually done by His Highness Prince Rui? !
Ahhh, His Highness Prince Rui, who looks so proud, actually has such a little-known hobby as secretly cooking?And this dessert seems to taste good?
Lan'er looked at the blue and white porcelain plate, with obvious longing in her eyes.
Jiang Jingying was caught by her hidden scorching gaze, she paused silently, then pushed the plate aside, sighed, "Sit down, let's eat."
……
inside.
Hearing the report from the maidservant, Wei Chenyi was rubbing the balls with her hands. The freshest meat had to be put into the pot to form a ball. She never liked being disturbed, so she just paused for a moment and said calmly: "She knows?"
"...The maidservant did not dare to reveal your identity, Miss Jiang guessed it herself." There was a bit of fear in the maidservant's voice, which was an instinctive fear of her position.
Wei Chenyi's face was calm, and she only answered "I know", but only the continuous failure of several lumps sticking together showed her inner unrest.
The appearance of Jiang Jingying yesterday after she lost her memory made her think that she had fallen short, but she didn't expect...
This person came today on his own initiative.
And said "I want to see her".
She even guessed that this was her craft——
Will Jiang Jingying like it?
Wei Chenyi felt a little uneasy.
Since the opening of the mansion, the battles in the court have become more and more serious day by day. On the surface, it seems that she has been separated to become Prince Rui. In fact, no matter whether her mother or the courtiers who once supported her, they are all trying to push her away. Let her take a step closer to persecuting the prince.
She was a little troubled. She heard that the prince likes to paint landscapes to relieve stress on weekdays, and his works are praised by the folks. Unfortunately...she is better at dealing with the financial figures of the household department.
Whenever she was in a bad mood, the people in the house always tried to make her happy, especially the cook in the kitchen, who was changed several times by her mother, everywhere in the world.
Later, unconsciously, she found that using some new food would make her temporarily forget these troublesome things, so she gradually immersed herself in this way.
But she didn't want anyone to find out.
Including...Jiang Jingying.
In fact, the first time she saw this man was not at Huguo Temple, but when she was very young.
At that time, she was still studying in the palace with the prince, and she knew from afar that the little girl was the prince's companion, and she didn't know how to distinguish between good and bad, but she already remembered the empress' mother's advice:
Stay away from the prince, and also from the prince's people.
She has listened to it for more than ten years.
until……
Many years later, she saw this man again in her shop.
The little girl from childhood has grown up, and her appearance is no worse than that of the royal family. When she saw the Jiang family girl tasting a dish she made, she smiled quietly.
very strange -
Just that moment, she remembered it for a long time, so that later in the Huguo Temple, she only saw the back of him from a distance, and recognized the person.
No one knew that Wei Chenyi had ordered the guards around him to take care of that young lady of the Jiang family. When he said those words, Wei Chenyi couldn't guess how prescient his order was.
after that……
Consciously or unintentionally, she disobeyed her mother's orders and quietly approached this person.
It has been out of control ever since.
……
Jiang Jingying waited for a long time for the second dish, but before Prince Rui came, she saw another unexpected guest.
Someone came into the shop wearing a dark cloak with a hood, and his steps were as silent as a feline. Heartily let the man go in the direction of the kitchen as usual.
However, today is bound to be a little different.
The shadow walked halfway, and suddenly stopped, facing the side with the guests, who was looking at.
Jiang Jingying looked back suddenly if she felt something.
The dark figure hesitated for a moment, met Jiang Jingying's gaze, and walked in her direction. Just when Lan'er was in doubt and wanted to stop her, the man raised his hand first, and the wrist exposed in the sleeve was too pale and thin , can clearly see the small bulge of the wrist bone on the side of the hand, and the blue blood vessels on the back of the hand.
Jiang Jingying watched her slowly pull back the hood, revealing the expected face.
...Wei Chenxi.
Jiang Jingying recalled that she hadn't heard the greetings from the maidservants at all, and then looked at Wei Chenxi
She rolled her throat slightly, and suppressed a certain impulse that was rising up in her body, raised her hand to brush Wei Chenai's fingertips away, frowned slightly, and asked the other party:
"what?"
Obviously, she didn't know what marks were on her neck.
Wei Chenai saw that she didn't know what was going on, the smile on her lips froze, and then suddenly turned her head to ask Hong'er who was waiting for Jiang Jingying to wash up, but seeing the strange atmosphere, she had to lower her head and lower her sense of presence.
"Last night, did someone come into your lady's boudoir?"
Hong'er shook her head. From her perspective, she could only see Jiang Jingying's profile. Although she didn't know what happened, she still answered the prince's question honestly:
"I heard from the housekeeper that when the master first made his fortune a few years ago, he always caused many thieves to worry about him, but later on, he gradually had house guards, and this situation never happened again. Our mansion is heavily guarded. There will be someone who can threaten the safety of the young lady."
Not outsiders.
That is...
Others allowed to be entered?
Wei Chenai easily thought of his half-sisters yesterday afternoon, his eyes glowed coldly, and the smile on his lips became mocking.
Seeing this change in her expression, Jiang Jingying also realized that there were some shady marks on her neck.
Raising her hand to touch it, Jiang Jingying felt a slight pain that was basically imperceptible if she didn't notice it specially.
She frowned and looked at Wei Chenai in front of her, raised her eyebrows, moved her lips, and said:
"A thief calling for a thief?"
Wei Chenai was about to continue asking Hong'er who was on duty last night, and she had the audacity to let someone in to have a tryst with her young lady, when she suddenly heard Jiang Jingying's question, her anger seemed to have been pressed the pause button.
"What?" Wei Chenai looked at Jiang Jingying again.
Jiang Jingying put down her hand, her expression still indifferent, she said to Wei Chenai: "Isn't this your masterpiece?"
One second he was planting strawberries on his neck, and the next he pretended to have amnesia and started to be madly jealous with her?
Wei Chenai: "...?"
She didn't seem to expect to hear such an answer, her eyes unconsciously wandered to Jiang Jingying's neck, and her tone was a little strange: "Baby, who did you meet with me behind my back last night, and you still don't know who you are?" You mistook that lover for me, huh?"
Because the answer was too weird, for the first time in his life, Wei Chenai couldn't decide whether he should continue to be angry, or what point he should be angry with.
Both of them are very righteous, and there is even a subtle sense of blaming each other in their expressions, and even the emotions in their eyes are synchronized.
Hong'er was at a loss when she heard it, although she knew that there was no room for her to intervene when the masters opened their mouths, but seeing that the prince seemed to have a rift with the young lady because of unwarranted matters, she had no choice but to speak weakly: "Miss yesterday My son went to bed very early at night, and Lan'er and I watched the night together, and no one came in between."
Jiang Jingying frowned, looked at the ancient carved bed she was on at the moment, and muttered:
"Could it be... a dream?"
Last night, being forced by Wei Chenai and four people to choose and choose, the tragic scene of choosing one to die, is it just a dream?
But if it was really a dream, why did it leave marks on her neck?
Hearing what Jiang Jingying said, Wei Chenai was skeptical. It stands to reason that she would not believe it at all when she heard such a ridiculous reason.
But when Xiaoying just woke up, seeing her evasive expression, and her natural questioning after she discovered this strange trace, were all too natural.
If it was played...
Then she must have been blind for more than twenty years before she could see clearly what her sweetheart looked like for a moment.
Jiang Jingying was born in a wealthy family. Her education in poetry and books and her growing environment, including her family's comfortable living conditions, meant that she didn't have to worry about the ways of the world, and she could get things that ordinary people couldn't get without effort. .
What's more, she is still the only daughter of the Jiang family, and sometimes her life is better than that of the royal family on the bright side.
In other words, she did not practice lying.
And Wei Chenai went in and out of the study with the old emperor since he was a child, and now he even personally participates in the government affairs. He has seen many people who are obedient and vicious, and it is not impossible to not even hear cheap lies.
I may have misunderstood...
Thinking of this, the smile on Wei Chenai's lips stretched slightly, like a brilliant and warm iris blooming wantonly under the scorching sun, with a bit of coquettishness in its elegant arc.
Although she couldn't figure out why Jiang Jingying had such imaginative marks on her body after she just slept.
It doesn't matter, she just asked someone to check carefully.
"What did you dream about me?" Wei Chenai was happy and angry, she was still looking like a rainstorm just now, but now she unknowingly dissipated all the dangerous aura, bent her waist and leaned in front of Jiang Jingying , asked with a smile.
Jiang Jingying pursed her lips, and the line of her lips was slightly straightened, which meant she refused. She didn't intend to say those absurd and terrible things before she figured out the weird dream before.
She just wanted to make a final confirmation: "You really don't remember?"
Wei Chenai opened his red lips, and silently laughed, now he was really interested in exploring the content of Jiang Xiaoying's dream, so he lured her to continue with a teasing tone:
"Tell me, what should I remember?"
While speaking, she still felt that the small purple mark on the other's neck was an eyesore, so she changed her thumb and pressed on the mark unhappily, rubbing it up and down, but only made the skin redder.
Even a little red and purple, more obvious than before.
Jiang Jingying didn't feel that obvious at first, but when she rubbed her fingers twice, she felt that the skin was hot and uncomfortable, so she could only frown, raised her hand to hold her evil hand, and stopped it: "Stop making trouble. "
"Don't you want me to meet people today?"
Wei Chenai frowned, and replied with a smile: "It's not bad if you say so."
"In the future, I will build a special room for you and hide you in it. Only I can see it every day. When the time comes—"
Jiang Jingying couldn't hear her nonsense, and interrupted: "Wei...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wei Chenai raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, eyes glued to her were full of doting, and replied in a good voice: "Okay, please, please, I know you are shy, so I just don't say anything."
"Let's go back to what happened just now. What did you dream about me last night? Did you remember something from the past? Or..."
She elongated her tone, and suddenly stuck out her tongue and licked her lower lip. The bright red lips were immediately covered with water, her eyes narrowed, and her eyes swept up and down her body covered by the quilt, implying that The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Jiang Jingying: "..."
She felt the veins on her forehead twitch, and turned to Hong'er next to her, "I'm getting up now, is the washing water ready?"
Hong'er replied in a low voice: "Yes."
Jiang Jingying lifted the quilt, ignoring a certain prince who came to her room early in the morning to tease her with words, got up and walked to the washing basin, ready to tidy herself up.
How could Wei Chenai do what she wished, and chased after Jiang Jingying relentlessly, as if she had guessed what Jiang Jingying was thinking, like a bad boy in kindergarten who wanted to attract girls' attention, and after Jiang Jingying finished rinsing her mouth, she smiled smirk again Follow up and ask:
"So you don't want me to know, is it some kind of unspeakable dream?"
Jiang Jingying had just wrung out the towel and was about to wipe her face, when she heard her implying that she was having a dream, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Maybe it was the dream last night that cast a shadow on her. Jiang Jingying, who has always been respectful and law-abiding, under the childish questioning of Wei Chenai——
In the next moment, with a blank face, he slapped the towel on Wei Chenai's face with his backhand.
Wei Chenai was suddenly stunned by the cold towel paste.
There was a bit of ignorance on her bright and charming face that didn't suit her temperament.
After Jiang Jingying finished filming, she was a little taken aback.
Hong'er next to her watched her young lady's presumptuous behavior, swallowed forcefully, and let out a "gudong".
Although the young lady and His Royal Highness have been on good terms since childhood, as the prince got older, the young lady became more sensible. Although everyone knew that the prince had an unusual relationship with her, she had never done anything that would offend the prince. move.
Now that Miss has lost her memory...
It's a lot bolder.
Hong'er thought about it left and right, her heart was beating almost out of her throat, and she felt that she should do something to save the young lady.
Just heard a "plop"——
Jiang Jingying and Wei Chenai returned to their senses at the same time, looking at Hong'er next to them.
Jiang Jingying frowned, she was not used to the rhythm of knelt down at every turn, and was just about to get over this mistake by herself, when she suddenly heard a "puchi" laugh.
Wei Chenai's shoulders were trembling with a smile, he raised his hand to catch the towel that had slipped from his face, and passed it towards Jiang Jingying, and waved his other hand towards Hong'er, signaling her that it's okay, just get up.
Jiang Jingying took the towel and was about to apologize when she saw the person in front of her, who seemed to have been poked into a laughing point, and couldn't stop for a while, before she stood up straight and asked herself:
"Are you outraged?"
Jiang Jingying: "..." Suddenly she didn't want to apologize.
Wei Chenai still didn't think it was enough, so he put his hand on her shoulders, and moved closer to her. She was wearing a long skirt today, and the fabric around her neck was embroidered with nets. Grass covered her milk-white skin.
The line of the clavicle passes faintly along the edge of the fabric, and the skin exposed by the translucent fabric is like a white magnet, attracting people's attention at first glance, and it is difficult to break free after sticking.
Jiang Jingying is not used to facing Wei Chenai's enchanting temperament directly, so she lowered her eyes, but she suddenly looked at the skin near her neck, saw the pattern of colored lines that seemed to be painted directly on her skin, and was attracted by the enchanting The strange picture grabbed my mind.
For a moment I forgot to breathe.
Wei Chenai's mind was full of the action that she just didn't want to paste the towel on her face just now, and it was rare that she didn't catch Jiang Jingying's distraction, but she was just happy with her extraordinarily presumptuous behavior in the eyes of others.
She moved her face closer to Jiang Jingying's, as if sending it up on her own initiative, and said with a smile on her face:
"If you're not happy, can you hit me again?"
Jiang Jingying: "..."
Neuropathy.
Her last thought of apologizing was gone, she lowered her head silently, soaked the towel in water again, twisted it, pressed her face, and refused to pay attention to Wei Chenai, who had a strange smile.
Wei Chenai didn't get the reaction he wanted, and he wasn't annoyed at all, but just looked at her with a smile on his face, with a hint of doting in his eyes.
Jiang Jingying turned her head after washing her face, almost dazzled by the smile on her face, and then heard Wei Chenai ask with a smile:
"Hello me again with your towel?"
Jiang Jingying: "..." She wants to know now, could it be that Wei Chenai looks like a queen, but is actually a masochist?
……
afternoon.
Wei Chenai, who actually sneaked out of the palace on the pretext of helping his younger siblings to check their homework, was forced to return to the palace after only one lunch in Jiangfu under the urging of those around him, intentionally or unintentionally.
When Fang walked out of Jiangfu, the smile on her lips faded, got into the carriage, and drove about a street, Wei Chenai heard a slight sound on the roof of the carriage.
She raised her hand to lift the curtain, and amidst the regular rattling of the wheels, she asked, "How is the investigation?"
"Prince Rui rested early in the mansion last night, and the prime minister was called into the palace by the emperor to discuss the Beirong matter with the general." A voice from the roof of the car entered her ears, without saying a word, very clearly , The conversation between the two was not affected at all by the driving of the carriage and the voices of people in the street outside.
A moment of thought flashed in Wei Chenai's eyes——
In other words, those people did not turn back to Jiangfu.
Do you want to believe that Xiaoying's dream is unusual, or...
Wei Chenai said softly: "I see." Then he put down the curtain, and slowly leaned against the cushion of the carriage.
With her, Prince Rui, and Wei Shendi as rivals, plus that eccentric Wei Chenxi, ordinary people would not have the guts to join Xiaoying's side.
If so-
It is estimated that without her doing anything, they are all dead without a place to bury them.
Thinking of this, the corners of Wei Chenai's lips curled up, and somehow he thought of the rumor about Jiang Jingying's birth.
In the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, everyone knew that Jiang's daughter was born with auspiciousness and auspicious stars, even her father firmly believed in it.
Since Jiang Jingying was born, the Jiang family's business has been booming, and now it is the number one richest businessman in Wei Dynasty, with financial resources almost rivaling that of the country, which made the people believe in the rumor even more.
When exaggerating in the storytelling of the restaurant, she even bluntly stated that she is the one who can save the fate of the Wei Dynasty, and that in the future she will enter the palace as the queen and the mother of the world.
Wei Chenai raised his right hand, rubbed his forehead with his index finger, rubbed it slowly, the cynical smile on his face faded, and his demeanor became much colder.
Thinking of Prince Rui's current power in the palace, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
——No one can take Xiaoying away from her.
If Jiang Jingying is going to be a queen in the future, it must also be... her queen.
At the same time, Jiangfu.
Jiang Jingying deliberately chose a dress with a higher neckline in the morning to block the strawberry print on her neck, but now her lunch break is a bit stuffy, and there is a line of dark color on the collar that is wet with sweat, so she has to change it again .
Fortunately, Wei Chenbi's conscious world is not so well-regulated as to completely copy the details of life in ancient dynasties. In Jiang Jingying's view, these clothes take into account both appearance and comfort. very resistant.
Seeing the mark on her neck, Huang'er offered to suggest: "Miss, why don't you cover it with a layer of powder, so that you don't have to suffer in that high-necked dress."
Jiang Jingying was intimidated by the four surnamed Wei yesterday, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the self-proclaimed things of the people around her. Now that she has time, just let them call themselves "I" on weekdays, and don't kneel down at all times.
Then he nodded to Huang'er, and asked her to come over with the powder box to cover the marks on her neck for her.
Huang'er didn't know about the conversation she had with Wei Chenai in the morning, and she was too young to know what to do, so she complained now:
"What kind of insect bites this? It's such a big area. Miss, don't you really need to ask a doctor to take a look? Or let Lan'er take a look first."
Jiang Jingying shook her head, and said calmly and perfunctorily: "No need, probably because there were too many flowers and plants planted in the courtyard earlier, which attracted more mosquitoes. The curtains should not be drawn tightly last night, so I was bitten."
Lan'er, who was tidying up the house inside, heard the conversation between the two of them, poked her head out and asked, "Miss, but I remember that Mr. Xiangguo gave you a good medicine jade to wear by your side, that medicine jade can not only drive away evil spirits, It can also avoid insects, why are you still bitten?"
Jiang Jingying: "..."
Seeing Huang'er in front of me was stunned for a moment, and looked up curiously, Jiang Jingying could only follow along: "I don't know, I didn't even see what the bug that bit me looked like, maybe that bug happened to be Don’t be afraid of the type of medicine jade.”
Lan'er suddenly realized "Oh", and Jiang Jingying heard her talking to herself: "Then this bug must be unusual. I'll look for it in the yard these two days to see if I can catch it."
If they were caught, they might have to go to the East Palace to catch them, Jiang Jingying thought calmly.
Huang'er, who was in front of her, had already helped her put layer after layer of powder on her neck. Now that she was done with work, she got up by herself, looked around, and clapped her hands: "Miss, you're done, I'll get you some noodles." Look in the mirror."
Jiang Jingying nodded, and after Huang'er brought the mirror, Lan'er went out holding the clothes she just changed.
She stared at herself in the bronze mirror, thoughts flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly asked the maid in front of her:
"I remember that you admire Mr. Xiangguo. Now I don't remember many things. I'm afraid I will make people laugh when I go out. Why don't Huang Er tell me, how much do you know about Mr. Xiangguo?"
Hearing her mentioning Xiangguo, Huang'er was really excited, the light in her eyes was exactly like a fan's look when she heard a passerby mention her idol:
"Miss wants to know Xiangguo's story?"
"That's too much. I helped the lady go out to buy incense powder a few days ago, and found that even the owner of the tea stall on the roadside knew about Xiangguo—"
Jiang Jingying squeezed into the topic appropriately, and picked the key point to ask: "Do you know where Mr. Xiangguo learned his skills? He was born with it, or...?"
The little girl Huang Er was questioned.
Her eloquent posture was interrupted, she choked for a moment, subconsciously followed Jiang Jingying's words and said, "What is it?"
Blinking her eyes, Huang'er suddenly said: "Oh, is Miss Xiangguo's ability to control wind and rain? Someone once speculated that she was taken away by the Miao people after the fire that year, and then she was instructed by an expert to go to the Dao, he could have become a fairy, but he wanted to repay the kindness of the King of Wei, so he came here to assist the King, so as to protect the prosperity of the Great Wei for a hundred years."
After thinking about it, she said regretfully, "It's a pity that you don't remember it anymore, miss. This folk guess is somewhat true. The miss told me that Xiangguo really came back from Miaojiang—"
"I don't know how you communicated with her inexplicably through letters. If Miss can recall it, she will know more than me from hearsay."
Compared with Huang'er's superficial demeanor of "Our Lord Xiangguo is really kind-hearted, disregarding past suspicions, and knowingly repaying favors", Jiang Jingying's expression is very calm.
wrong.
she thinks.
No, according to what Jiang Dahe and Yang Sui said before going to bed last night, Wei Chenxi was born by her mother who asserted that she was haunted by demons, and later a fire in the palace proved her mother and concubine's prophecy, which caused panic. All believed that her existence was a disaster.
Will Wei Chenxi want to repay this dynasty?
Besides, based on what she told the court about the Miao Village being condemned by God after she returned to the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty, it can be seen that she should have had some conflicts with her mother's family during the years when she was living outside and no one else knew about it.
At least from Jiang Jingying's stories about Wei Chenxi, none of them mentioned that the mother who disappeared with her back then, who said that there was a devil in her body, and the concubine who made her own daughter born with a curse, ended up with what happened?
She closed her eyes lightly.
The image of being forced to drink the blood flooded into her mind again, including the smile on Wei Chenxi's sickly face, which she vividly remembered.
"In their dreams, they want to take a bite of me, eat my blood, drink my flesh..."
Who are they?
Judging from Wei Chenxi's emotions at the time, the eating of meat and blood in these words is probably not the exploitation that most people think, but...
Really.
After Jiang Jingying drank her blood, she unconsciously caused thunder to melt the thick iron chain on her wrist, which also proved one point: Wei Chenxi is probably really different from ordinary people.
Looking at her character of repaying every grievance, even if she returns to Da Wei, she might not be able to match the word repaying her kindness.
Seeing that her thoughts were about to diverge to a farther place, Jiang Jingying pulled back in time, pretending to be understated and casually mentioned: "Master Xiangguo is so extraordinary, there should be many people in the court who are jealous of her, she should be an enemy Not a lot."
Who would be the one who can push Wei Chenxi to that point?
Huang'er raised her hand and scratched her head. She was really caught by Jiang Jingying's words. She obviously wasn't serving Wei Chenxi, but she acted like she knew her idol's life like the back of her hand, counting with her fingers. Forget it, muttered in a low voice:
"There are people who are jealous of Mr. Xiangguo, but Xiangguo is extraordinary, and no one dares to provoke him here in Wei."
Jiang Jingying's expression changed——
No one dares to mess with Wei?
She quickly played back the content of last night's dream in her mind, and quickly caught the keyword "to the east". The east... generally defaults to the location of the mainland of the country.
Moreover, there are not many people who can know where the power in her blood originates from, how to use and transfer it.
Jiang Jingying thought about it, and a guess gradually appeared in her mind:
Could it be that those Miao people back then did not die out?
It's normal when you think about it. After all, they are a nation living in the mountains, and the locations of the cottages should be very scattered. If you want to catch all the residents in the corners and leave no one behind, it is much more difficult than going to heaven.
Seeing that Jiang Jingying's expression gradually turned solemn, Huang'er's face showed some doubts. She reflected that she probably didn't say anything, why did the young lady look so ugly?
After hesitating again and again, she called out, "Miss?"
Jiang Jingying frowned, and looked up at her, only to realize that she had been holding the mirror in the same position for too long, she leaned back in the chair, handed the mirror out, and said in a low voice:
"It's okay, by the way, I just saw that among the clothes that Lan'er carried out, there is one that I will wear when I go out later, please call her back for me."
Huang'er responded to everything, and walked out briskly, like a happy little oriole.
……
After a while.
Lan'er hastily hugged those clothes just now and turned back, her expression was a bit at a loss: "Miss, I remember that you just changed these clothes...?"
Jiang Jingying showed just the right amount of surprise on her face: "Yeah, that's probably because I remembered wrong——"
"It's okay, you put your things down first, I have other things to ask you."
Lan'er looked at her neck, and found that the previous marks had been covered, and she didn't look uncomfortable, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and answered her seriously: "Miss has something to do, but I can tell you."
Seeing the sweat on her forehead, Jiang Jingying guessed that there should be some distance between her room and the washing place, so she casually took the cup next to her, poured her a cup, and said to her:
"Don't worry, drink some water first."
Lan'er's face showed a little flattered, she hurriedly said that she didn't dare to take it seriously, she quickly took the teacup and put it down, but felt that it was inappropriate, so she picked it up and took a sip.
Jiang Jingying saw that she was breathing more evenly, so she asked unhurriedly: "I remember that you admired Prince Rui, I don't know if you still remember how I met Prince Rui, on weekdays... what kind of relationship do you have?" ?”
As soon as Lan'er heard that she was asking this question, she became energetic immediately, and the exhaustion from running all the way back just now was swept away, and she hurriedly said: "Of course I remember."
"The day Miss was rescued by Prince Rui, I was the one who was by Miss's side."
Jiang Jingying frowned, "Really?"
She asked the question calmly, but Lan'er was worried that she would not believe her, so she insisted on saying, "Exactly, Miss Liu was invited by the daughter of Shangshu's family to go to the Huguo Temple outside the city to pay respects to the Buddha. slip."
"At that time, Liu Shangshu's daughter was halfway up the steps, but somehow she stepped on the air, and even accidentally pushed the young lady, but I didn't stop her."
"It happened that Prince Rui was also at the Huguo Temple that day, and his bodyguards rushed to save people, so Hao Xuan protected Miss."
Jiang Jingying let out a "huh" and asked, "What about after that? How is my friendship with Prince Rui?"
"Of course it's excellent. Miss liked the dishes of a small shop in the north of the city before, and she agreed with Prince Rui to have dinner there in the future when she is free. It's a pity..." Lan'er stopped talking just in time, but her eyes still showed I'm sorry to come.
Jiang Jingying's elbow rested on the armrest of the chair. Hearing what she said, she couldn't help but raised her eyebrows. Her slender fingertips flicked twice on the cool wooden armrest, and Lan'er unexpectedly answered:
"What shop, I'll go and have a look."
According to her experience, as long as she went out, she would definitely encounter the Asura Field, and now that she deliberately went to Wei Chenyi's place, the probability of encountering this person was greatly increased.
Lan'er just wanted to persuade, but remembered that the master and his wife had already lifted the young lady's stay-at-home order, so when the words came to her lips, she responded, "Hey, I'll let Hong'er comb your hair."
……
Jiang Jingying sat in Jiangfu's carriage and staggered all the way to the north of the city. The BMW she was going out suddenly changed to "BMW", which she was not used to.
When she got off the carriage, she shook, and Jiang Jingying looked at the restaurant in front of her.
The store is small, beyond her expectation, but the decoration inside is not simple——
What came into view was a dark wall. Jiang Jingying thought it was black stone at first, but it wasn't until she saw the faintly reflected light from inside that she suddenly realized that it was not black, but dark purple.
She took two steps closer and saw what was glowing in the center of the wall.
A large piece of bright amethyst, a whole piece of natural crystal stone, if it is not because the shop is in a backlit position, whenever light falls in, the light reflected by the countless finely cut surfaces of the concave crystal wall will , can make the whole Wei people amazed.
What a great handwriting.
Jiang Jingying withdrew her gaze, guessing that the owner of this store might be either rich or expensive, what's more...
Maybe the owner of this house is Wei Chenyi.
She guessed in her heart that there was a big difference, but her face remained calm. She had just stepped into the shop a few steps, when she saw a maid coming over with a smile, saluted her, and called out:
"Miss Jiang."
"I haven't seen you for a long time. It just so happens that our master chef is here today. Do you want to try the new dishes?"
The maid familiarly led her to go in, walked through the hall with small bridges and flowing water, and the sound of bamboo boards, and took her to sit in the seat she liked most before.
Jiang Jingying watched them pour water, set out snacks, and fruits, and asked casually, "What's new today?"
Lan'er who came with her seemed to want to remind her, but before she had time, the maid who brought her here grinned and replied: "Master always cooks as he likes, and he doesn't make menus. If you don't like , I will ask the kitchen... to change it for you."
When it came to changing people, the maidservant's face showed some hesitation.
Jiang Jingying nodded thoughtfully: "That's it."
She drank the tea slowly, waiting for the dishes to come, and sipping the mellow black tea, her nerves, which had been tense all day, unconsciously relaxed a lot.
Until the first dish is presented——
This is more like a dim sum. From the outside, it should be a paper skin that has been ground into pulp and rolled out from rice. It is light, thin, and somewhat translucent. It wraps the ingredients in circles, revealing a little red and green colors.
Refreshing and cool, with a little fruity sweetness.
After Jiang Jingying bit it down, she chewed it slowly for a while before she could tell that the fruit inside should be some melon, and the end was a bit unexpectedly sour.
It seems that the fruit plate is mixed into this small group of magical rice clothes, which is satisfying and appetizing.
She looked at the remaining bite on the chopsticks, raised and lowered the corners of her lips slightly, then put down the chopsticks, and summoned the maid: "Your rare master who came today, can I see you?"
The maid looked embarrassed and said to her: "Master never sees guests, this is a set rule—"
Jiang Jingying raised her eyebrows, picked up the tea cup and blew on it, and then said unhurriedly: "Please tell His Highness Prince Rui again, just say that I want to see her, if she really doesn't want to come, then forget it. "
Hearing her revealing the identity of the owner of the restaurant, the maidservant showed surprise in her eyes, and even Lan'er, who came with her, covered her mouth a little.
"Miss……?"
Was this actually done by His Highness Prince Rui? !
Ahhh, His Highness Prince Rui, who looks so proud, actually has such a little-known hobby as secretly cooking?And this dessert seems to taste good?
Lan'er looked at the blue and white porcelain plate, with obvious longing in her eyes.
Jiang Jingying was caught by her hidden scorching gaze, she paused silently, then pushed the plate aside, sighed, "Sit down, let's eat."
……
inside.
Hearing the report from the maidservant, Wei Chenyi was rubbing the balls with her hands. The freshest meat had to be put into the pot to form a ball. She never liked being disturbed, so she just paused for a moment and said calmly: "She knows?"
"...The maidservant did not dare to reveal your identity, Miss Jiang guessed it herself." There was a bit of fear in the maidservant's voice, which was an instinctive fear of her position.
Wei Chenyi's face was calm, and she only answered "I know", but only the continuous failure of several lumps sticking together showed her inner unrest.
The appearance of Jiang Jingying yesterday after she lost her memory made her think that she had fallen short, but she didn't expect...
This person came today on his own initiative.
And said "I want to see her".
She even guessed that this was her craft——
Will Jiang Jingying like it?
Wei Chenyi felt a little uneasy.
Since the opening of the mansion, the battles in the court have become more and more serious day by day. On the surface, it seems that she has been separated to become Prince Rui. In fact, no matter whether her mother or the courtiers who once supported her, they are all trying to push her away. Let her take a step closer to persecuting the prince.
She was a little troubled. She heard that the prince likes to paint landscapes to relieve stress on weekdays, and his works are praised by the folks. Unfortunately...she is better at dealing with the financial figures of the household department.
Whenever she was in a bad mood, the people in the house always tried to make her happy, especially the cook in the kitchen, who was changed several times by her mother, everywhere in the world.
Later, unconsciously, she found that using some new food would make her temporarily forget these troublesome things, so she gradually immersed herself in this way.
But she didn't want anyone to find out.
Including...Jiang Jingying.
In fact, the first time she saw this man was not at Huguo Temple, but when she was very young.
At that time, she was still studying in the palace with the prince, and she knew from afar that the little girl was the prince's companion, and she didn't know how to distinguish between good and bad, but she already remembered the empress' mother's advice:
Stay away from the prince, and also from the prince's people.
She has listened to it for more than ten years.
until……
Many years later, she saw this man again in her shop.
The little girl from childhood has grown up, and her appearance is no worse than that of the royal family. When she saw the Jiang family girl tasting a dish she made, she smiled quietly.
very strange -
Just that moment, she remembered it for a long time, so that later in the Huguo Temple, she only saw the back of him from a distance, and recognized the person.
No one knew that Wei Chenyi had ordered the guards around him to take care of that young lady of the Jiang family. When he said those words, Wei Chenyi couldn't guess how prescient his order was.
after that……
Consciously or unintentionally, she disobeyed her mother's orders and quietly approached this person.
It has been out of control ever since.
……
Jiang Jingying waited for a long time for the second dish, but before Prince Rui came, she saw another unexpected guest.
Someone came into the shop wearing a dark cloak with a hood, and his steps were as silent as a feline. Heartily let the man go in the direction of the kitchen as usual.
However, today is bound to be a little different.
The shadow walked halfway, and suddenly stopped, facing the side with the guests, who was looking at.
Jiang Jingying looked back suddenly if she felt something.
The dark figure hesitated for a moment, met Jiang Jingying's gaze, and walked in her direction. Just when Lan'er was in doubt and wanted to stop her, the man raised his hand first, and the wrist exposed in the sleeve was too pale and thin , can clearly see the small bulge of the wrist bone on the side of the hand, and the blue blood vessels on the back of the hand.
Jiang Jingying watched her slowly pull back the hood, revealing the expected face.
...Wei Chenxi.
Jiang Jingying recalled that she hadn't heard the greetings from the maidservants at all, and then looked at Wei Chenxi
