The Jiang family's family banquet for the queen and the prince in the evening was very grand, in addition to the wine and food, they also specially invited the Yangzhou Opera Park team to sing.

Waiting for a while, Jiang Hongwen in the front yard said to Empress Jiang: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince must have rested almost well, I asked the housekeeper to invite him." ”

Empress Jiang smiled: "He rarely attends the family banquet in the palace on weekdays, and our Jiang family's family banquet will definitely not come today." However, since he is here, our meaning is still there, so as not to go back to the palace and say that our Jiang family is not taking good care of it. ”

Jiang Hongwen smiled: "Is this prince really so obedient and withdrawn? I have heard reports from others that he has been with Ling Er this afternoon, and the two seem to get along well. ”

Empress Jiang said: "Ling Er is innocent and well-behaved, after all, they are all children, and it is not strange that they can play together." If he really doesn't reject Ling'er, during this time in Yangzhou, let Ling'er play with him more, which will save us the trouble. ”

Jiang Hongwen nodded: "When I saw him today, I originally planned to let Ah Yu entertain him, but Ah Yu's temperament is like a monkey who sprinkles, and it must be difficult to play." Since he can get along with Ling'er, let my family Ling'er do this landlord's friendship for us. It should not be a good thing to snub this prince. ”

As the brother and sister were talking, the butler's voice came from outside: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, there is an invitation here." ”

Empress Jiang looked at the young man who came slowly outside in disbelief, and sighed: "What an accident, this kid is actually here." ”

Jiang Ling smiled and followed Zhou Chengzhi and shouted, "Daddy, aunt, Brother Chengzhi said that he couldn't wait to eat our Yangzhou authentic dishes." ”

Jiang Hongwen saw people coming in, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has come to the family banquet with his face, Jiang is honored." As he spoke, he scolded his daughter slightly, "How can Ling Er be rude to call His Royal Highness the prince's brother." ”

Jiang Ling smiled inwardly, her father was an old-fashioned man on the surface, so old-fashioned that she was a little speechless.

Zhou Chengzhi smiled: "What did Uncle Jiang say, since I came to Jiang Mansion to borrow it, I have already disturbed your mansion, where is there still the identity of the prince of life, uncle can be an ordinary junior." Ling'er called me brother, so she didn't seem so angry. ”

Empress Jiang on the side was a little surprised, and said: "After Cheng Zhi had a serious illness, there were many directors. Since Cheng Zhi said so, brother, don't be too outside, just be the same as the submission. ”

"Good, good." Jiang Hongwen laughed loudly, and then ordered his subordinates, "Hurry up and call the other sons in for dinner." ”

The six members of the Jiang family, plus the queen's mother and son and Zhou Chengzhi, a total of nine people, and the round table happened to be full.

Jiang Ling's left and right hands sat Zhou Chengzhi and Zhou Chengwen, two brothers.

Because Zhou Chengzhi said that she was not familiar with Yangzhou cuisine, she explained to him one by one on the table, crab roe lion's head, pipa prawns, boiled dried shreds...... Every time I saw him pick up one, I asked him if it was delicious.

Because it is a child, this kind of interaction is nothing more than innocent in the eyes of others. The Jiang couple saw that the rumored third prince who had a bad personality was always smiling, and they felt that they had raised a well-behaved and pleasing daughter, and they were really a little proud of it.

Jiang Ling did deliberately curry favor with Zhou Chengzhi, after all, she was a woman who was reborn and came back with the heavy responsibility of changing the fate of her family and country. And the most important task is to change Zhou Chengzhi.

Although she lived in vain for nineteen years in her last life, she also knew that a person's heart and actions were mostly related to his life experience, and Zhou Chengzhi in the previous life became a tyrant, not necessarily because he was born cruel, but he was unhappy in his growth, and after he had too much resentment about life, he went to the extreme.

So in this life, she wants to make the beautiful young man now, feel happy, feel love, and live a happy life, so naturally she will not think of killing people and doing evil.

Jiang Ling felt that he missed the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple a little, but the Bodhisattva was a purifying being, and she wanted to purify the prince, who was very likely to become a tyrant.

Thinking about it, I feel like I'm going to have a halo.

The road ahead is long, and Zhou Chengzhi's wolf ambition was only a year before his rebellion. In this way, she still has a long time to reform him. And in this life, their first meeting was almost four years in advance, and God was clearly helping her.

She secretly looked at Zhou Chengzhi, whose face was like a crown of jade, and the more she thought about it, the more she was moved by her great task.

Her stupid little movements called Zhou Chengwen next to her to find out, and the second prince, who had been holding back for a long time, pouted and spoke: "Cousin, why do you only tell my third brother about food, and you don't tell me." ”

Zhou Chengzhi hooked the corners of his mouth incomprehensibly.

Jiang Ling replied to him innocently: "Cousin, how many times have you been to Yangzhou?" I heard that my aunt will also let people specialize in Yangzhou cuisine in the palace, do you still need me to talk about it? Cheng Zhi brother is back in Yangzhou, of course I have to talk to him. ”

What she thought in her heart while saying was that in your last life, you chose the county lord of Changle and abandoned me, so that I had to jump off the city tower to protect the last trace of solar terms, do you understand the advantages and avoid the disadvantages? In this life, I just want to be a pair of cousins with you who are not very familiar with me, of course I don't want to talk to you more, but Zhou Chengzhi is the key to whether she can live a long life with children and grandchildren, and her goal in this life is him.

Seeing that her son was displeased, Empress Jiang smiled and said, "Ling'er is right, it's not that you haven't eaten Yangzhou cuisine in the palace, but you are still the imperial chef specially invited from Yangzhou." Your third brother is the first to come back to Yangzhou, and Ling'er is the little master of Jiangfu, so you should tell him more about it. What are you fighting for? ”

Zhou Chengwen looked at Zhou Chengzhi, who was indistinguishable, and nodded: "Mother said yes." ”

Empress Jiang looked at a few people, and said with a smile: "By the way, Cheng Zhi, tomorrow I will go to the Jiang family ancestral hall with your Uncle Jiang's family to worship my ancestors, and you are the only one here." Don't know if there's a problem? ”

Before Zhou Chengzhi could answer, Jiang Hongwen interjected first: "Don't worry about this, I have already arranged it, worship the ancestors tomorrow, Ling Er doesn't have to follow, stay in the mansion to entertain Chengzhi." If Chengzhi wants to go to Yangzhou City to play, she can be a little guide, I don't know if Chengzhi thinks it is feasible? ”

Zhou Chengzhi smiled faintly: "I know that according to the usual practice, the Jiang Mansion will go to worship the ancestors tomorrow, and I originally planned to let my subordinates accompany me, but thinking that they are not familiar with Yangzhou, I am a little worried about this, and I didn't expect that Uncle Jiang has already thought about it for me." I am the same age as Ling'er, and I have a lot of love when I first met today, so it is best to have her as a companion. ”

Jiang Hongwen laughed: "Jiang is worried that only letting Ling Er entertain His Highness as a little girl will make His Highness feel neglected." ”

Zhou Chengzhi chuckled: "Uncle Jiang is too worried, I'm just a young junior, if Uncle Jiang arranges an adult to accompany me, I'm afraid that both parties will find it boring." ”

"Also, children can always have more fun together."

Jiang Ling smiled: "Daddy, don't worry, I will definitely entertain my brother to the satisfaction tomorrow." ”
