The capital of the Vain Dynasty was a prosperous place.

The hawkers, the children's running and frolicking, a carriage stopped at the door of the largest teahouse in the capital, "Ruoshui Pavilion", and a handsome boy in a lotus-colored robe came out of it.

Xiao Er went out to greet him, and recognized it as the seventeenth prince, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly called the shopkeeper. The two respectfully let Wei Chi Jincheng to the "Tian" private room upstairs. As soon as Wei Chi Jincheng waved his hand, the man in the strong suit took out a silver ticket of one thousand taels and handed it to Xiao Er, Xiao Er went downstairs willingly, and after a while, only Wei Chi Jincheng was left as a guest in the entire Ruoshui Pavilion.

"Where is Ji Ruoshui?" Wei Chi Jincheng sat down and asked coldly.

Before the shopkeeper could answer, a dark fragrance struck, accompanied by the sound of jingle rings, and a woman's delicate voice sounded: "Lord Wang, are you thinking about Ruoshui?" ”

As he spoke, the man had arrived. The woman was dressed in aqua blue clothes, with a black silk hair tied in a cloud bun, and the water pattern mask covered half of her face, only Qiong's nose and Sakura's mouth could be seen, but the powdery blue belly pocket on her chest was extremely eye-catching.

Yu Chi Jincheng was not attracted to the woman, but frowned at her. Ji Ruoshui brushed Yu Chi Jincheng's shoulder with his hand in a variety of ways, and came to him to bow deeply.

"Ruoshui has seen the prince, the prince is a thousand years old." Although it is through the mask, Ji Ruoshui's eyes are very attractive.

"Ji Ruoshui, what do you mean?!" Yu Chi Jincheng ignored her teasing and asked directly.

"Lord, what do you mean by this? Ruoshui doesn't understand ......" took the tea sent by the shopkeeper, and Ji Ruoshui brewed it himself. Plain hands, but it complements the Biluochun.

"Before, you gave Lin Ajiu to this king, and took care of some troubles for this king, it stands to reason that this king should thank you." Speaking of this, Yu Chi Jincheng's eyes suddenly widened and asked, "But yesterday, if you Ruoshui Pavilion openly assassinated the side concubine of this king Xinna, what is the reason?" ”

His roar startled Ji Ruoshui's hands, and the water was sprinkled on her hands, making her delicate body tremble, and she screamed softly.

Seeing that Wei Chi Jincheng didn't mean to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, Ji Ruoshui was bored, wiped his hands lightly with a handkerchief and said, "Is the seventeenth master blaming Ruoshui and sending someone to the house to disturb him?" ”

"If you don't speak up, do they dare to act without permission?" Yu Chi Jincheng frowned, ignoring the tea handed over by Ji Ruoshui.

"The seventeenth master laughed." Ji Ruoshui smiled faintly, "I, Ruoshui Pavilion, am the backing of the prince, in order to show my sincerity, I even gave you the best Lin Ajiu." How much trouble does she get out of for you...... You don't remember it, do you? ”

Yu Chi Jincheng sneered: "Ji Ruoshui, you don't give this king two sides and three knives here." If you have one set on the surface of the Water Pavilion and one set behind the scenes, you and I know it! Not only are you friendly with this king, but what you secretly did with Seventh Brother, don't think that this king doesn't know! ”

Ji Ruoshui was startled, and then smiled coquettishly: "Dare to love, you are jealous of the seventeenth master." ”

She giggled and stroked her non-existent broken hair: "If my Ruoshui Pavilion opens the door to do business, everyone who comes is a guest, my Ji Ruoshui is just a little woman, whether it is the seventeenth master or the seventh master, I can't afford to offend!" ”

Boom! Yu Chi Jincheng got up suddenly, slapped his palm on the table, and smashed the good rosewood tea table into pieces, and the tea set was also shattered to the ground.

Ji Ruoshui looked at him, this time Yu Chi Jincheng was really angry. His palm is enough to cut gold and jade, if it is slapped on a person, it is really impossible to protect whether there is a life or not.

"This king reminds you one last time, Ruoshui Pavilion, it's best not to provoke this king's new side concubine!" Yu Chi Jincheng coldly said a cruel word, signaled to He Zi, he immediately took out a thousand taels of silver ticket and handed it to the shopkeeper, and then followed Yu Chi Jincheng out of Ruoshui Pavilion.

"Old, proprietress ......" When he was far away, the shopkeeper called weakly.

Ji Ruoshui's eyes were cold, and he commanded in a low voice: "Find Yao Qiqi and Shui Han for this seat!" ”

In the darkroom of the Seventeenth Palace, Li Er sat in the shadows with half his bare arms, and various wound medicines, gauze and a knife were placed on the table. On the table and on the floor, clumps of changed gauze were thrown there in a mess.

The wound on his left arm from the cold has not yet healed. Not only that, but there was some frostbite and suppuration, and the wound was originally just a deep sword wound, but the cold air of the Water Moon Sword entered the body, making the wound a little miserable.

The purple-red wound was bleeding from its own body, and some of the wounds next to it were blistered, while others had burst, and white liquid was floating on them. Li Er's masked face couldn't see the expression, he lowered his head and picked up the knife, put it on the fire to heat it, and slammed the knife face against his wound!

The knife sticks to the flesh, making a sizzling sound, and the smell of burnt meat is faintly heard. Li Er didn't make any sound, he didn't even frown, and through the faint light, he could faintly see the large and small scars on his bare arms.

It seems that he has also experienced a hundred battles, and this scar has become his medal.

Taking the knife off the flesh, Li Er picked up the gold sore medicine on the side, pushed off the cork with his thumb, and poured it on the wound little by little. The white foam gradually covered the charred wound, even the faint blood that flowed out. Li Er put down the medicine bottle, took the gauze on the side, held one end in his mouth, and wrapped the other end around his arm a little bit.

When he had done all this, he redressed himself and hid his well-defined body under the black. Then he put away the medicines, collected the old gauze that had been removed, turned off the lights, and went out the door.

Wen Di has been in the Art Ink Garden all morning, and she needs to think about what is next.

Yu Chi Jincheng didn't seem to dislike her, and from Li Er's mouth, she learned that the other party was doing this to protect her. But this kind of protection, she really thinks it's weird.

I still want to know how to get close to him. This Wei Chi Jincheng's ambiguous attitude towards her made it difficult for her to manipulate his thoughts. Moreover, what Shu Jiuchen asked her to obtain, she hasn't found it yet, which is more depressing.

Xiao Qi stood aside, a little unbearable to see the young lady so depressed. But Baoyue and the others were also poking beside him, and he couldn't say some words, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes, leaned over and said to Baoyue: "Sister Baoyue, you see, Niangniang has been sitting here for some time, why don't you go to the kitchen and take a look, but is there anything to relieve boredom and give her something to eat?" She hadn't eaten much in the morning! ”

Baoyue thought about it, nodded and was about to leave, but heard the flute say "Wait a minute" and stood there.

"Concubine Niangniang, what do you command?" Baoyue asked obediently.

"Hongu wants to go to the kitchen." Wen Di got up and said lightly.

"Miss, don't, 'gentleman is far away from cooking'." Xiao Qi pouted, what was Miss thinking, he was helping her get rid of those maids!

Wen Di smiled faintly at him: "I'm not a gentleman, I'm a little girl." After saying that, let Baoyue lead the way and walk towards the kitchen in the courtyard.

Inside, only Chen's mother was busy working alone, and the two little maids, the eldest and the younger, were helping to chop firewood outside. She changes her tricks every day to make food for Wendi, and it is rare that it is her favorite food.

Seeing Wen Di coming in, Chen's mother hurriedly came with two little servants to salute and say hello. Wendi told them to do their own things, so he asked Chen's mother: "Mother Chen, what fresh ingredients are there in the kitchen recently?" ”

When Mother Chen heard this, she was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Isn't there anything you want to eat?" Then, without waiting for Wen Di to reply, he beckoned her to look at the little stone mill inside.

I saw a little almond on it, and some white juice came out of it.

"Mother Chen, this is ......" Wen Di's ten fingers do not touch the spring water, so naturally I don't know what this is.

"Back to the side concubine, this is the almond tofu that the slave maid wants to make." Chen's mother said with a smile, "The old slave heard that Niangniang likes sweets, and thought that it was going to be hot this day, so she bought some almonds from the market and came back. Although it is old, it is still fresh, and it will be made for the mother to eat for a while. ”

When I heard the flute, I came to the spirit. She leaned over, craned her neck to look at it, and said with a smile: "Mother Chen, is it difficult to make this almond tofu?" Teach me to do well? ”

When Mother Chen heard this, she smiled and said, "It's not difficult, it's not difficult." It's just that the side concubine is suddenly going to the kitchen, could it be ...... Do you want to make it for the prince? ”

Wen Di lowered his head and smiled coquettishly, and nodded slightly.

Xiao Qi twitched the corner of his mouth on the side: Miss, isn't it? You really want to wash your hands and make soup for that weird prince......

Chen's mother smiled: "The side concubine Niangniang really has a heart. As the saying goes: to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach. Side concubine Niangniang, the old slave will do his best to help! After speaking, the old mother also deliberately shook her fist, with an expression of "come on".

Wen Di also nodded excitedly, looking full of anticipation.

Chen's mother looked at Wen Di and said with a smile: "Concubine Niangniang, you can't go down to the kitchen in this dress." It's better to ask Miss Baoyue to take you to change into a neat dress, the old slave will grind the almonds out of the pulp here first, and then teach you how to make them later, how about it? ”

Wen Di looked down at himself, the sleeves of his robe were wide, and the hem of his skirt was swaying to the ground, which was really not suitable for entering the kitchen.

So, Yu Baoyue took it, went back to change into neat clothes, and Wendi reappeared in the kitchen.

At this time, Chen's mother had already ground all the almonds and put them in a bowl. Seeing Wen Di coming over, he smiled and praised her for being delicate in everything she was wearing, and pointed to the bowl of milky white almond dew on the stove and said, "Concubine Niangniang, we have to put these in the pot to cook, and the old slave will make a fire for Niangniang first." Later, Niangniang only needs to pour these into the pot, stir them slowly, and then put some water starch on them to slowly form. ”

After briefly describing the method, Chen's mother took out the required ingredients, Wen Di carefully put the starch in a bowl, put some water with the help of Baoyue, mixed it into a paste, and then put the almond syrup into a pot and boiled.

Chen's mother brought some milk and sugar again, Wen Di also put it in as she said, stirred it gently, and then put the water starch paste in it, and when it was stirred into a viscous shape, she reached out to serve it. Chen's mother didn't have time to stop it, but she scalded her, and she was so distressed that Chen's mother hurriedly flushed her with cold water, and blamed herself for not telling her.

Wen Di didn't care, and smiled and said it was okay. Soon, the white lotion was ready, and Chen's mother took the pot down, removed it from the heat, and poured it into a square container.

"Okay, Concubine Niangniang, wait for this thing to cool down for a while, sprinkle some sugar osmanthus, and it's done." Chen's mother said with a smile.

Wendi nodded, this is her first time making desserts, I wonder if Yu Chi Jincheng will like it? If you want to please this prince, it seems that you really have to put a little effort into it.
