Cheng Nan nodded and said, "Don't worry, there is no problem on her side for the time being, everything is going well, she has that ability." ”

Tang Xi thought about it when he heard this, and suddenly asked, "Cheng Nan, are you interested in learning something?" ”

"Learn what?" Cheng Nan asked in confusion.

Tang Xi touched his chin, "For example, marching to fight?" ”

Cheng Nan frowned, "Do you want to train me to be a general?" Do you need it? If you need me, I'll learn. ”

"Hmm...... You can say that, but I'd like to hear what you mean, don't you think? "Tang Xi naturally doesn't need a general by his side, but thinking of Cheng Nan's ability, he always feels that it's a pity to let him waste time by his side, and Shangguan Yu is a county lord in the end, with Cheng Nan's character, he will feel how much he will be troubled by this, and feel that he is not worthy of her, since he is so let him learn to be a general, maybe in the future, he can be comparable to Shangguan Yu in terms of identity, so that their future road may be better, right?

Cheng Nan thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally said with some uncertainty, "I haven't seen what it's like in the army, but I can't tolerate sand in my eyes, if I see something unfair, I'm afraid I won't endure it, so I'm not sure if I'm suitable for it." ”

Tang Xi nodded and said, "I naturally know your temper, but it is precisely because of this that I ask you, haven't you always hated the darkness of officialdom?" But if you don't have enough status, no matter how dark the officialdom is, you can't tolerate it, if you stand in a high position with your ability, you can naturally remove the disaster for the monarch, what do you think? ”

Cheng Nan has always been a person with a strong sense of justice, because the sense of justice will eventually fall into the grass, because of the sense of justice, he will still be able to be famous as a bandit leader, and it is also because of the sense of justice that the Black Eagle Village will be disbanded in the end.

So in some ways, he and Tang Xi are a little similar, although he does not have the feelings of Tang Xi's family and the world, but he also cares about the people, so he is easily moved by Tang Xi's words.

"But...... If I go to learn how to march and fight, what will you do here? He couldn't help frowning as he spoke, "You shouldn't just take the opportunity to take me away, right?" ”

Tang Xi rolled his eyes, "What are you going to do with it?" You don't have much of a chance to get close to me if you don't get on your side, do you? Saying that, she patted Cheng Nan's shoulder soothingly, "It's really useless for you to stay by my side now, it's better to take the opportunity to improve yourself and be a more useful person to me, what do you say?" ”

"But now that you're here, how do you arrange for me?"

"Wait for half a month to return to Daqian, you can go back with you."

"......" Cheng Nanhu glanced at her suspiciously, "You really want to break me away, right?" ”

"Isn't it okay?" Tang Xi was helpless, "Listen to me, although I am now in Fengyuan, I am a person from Daqian, and the emperor has placed countless eyeliners around me to control me, so don't you think I should also leave some life charms and eyeliner in Daqian?" ”

She patted Cheng Nan on the shoulder, and said with some seriousness, "You have that ability, not to mention that Daqian Border Pass has been harassed by nomads all year round, if someone can completely settle this matter, it will be easy to be reused." ”

Cheng Nan thought seriously for a long time, and said suspiciously, "But now that you know that I am your person, how do you make Yan Ning believe that I will take me back?" ”

Tang Xi smiled, "I will find a way to make him owe me a personal favor, although he is a little stupid, but in the final analysis, he is also a tendon, as long as he owes me, it will be easy to say the future, and then there will be him as a cover, and others will not associate you with me." ”

In the end, Cheng Nan still nodded, and then Tang Xi smiled, "I hope it won't take too many years for you to make a contribution, otherwise if Shangguan Yu can't wait to marry someone else, I can't help it." ”

Cheng Nan patted his chest unconvinced when he heard this, "You can rest assured, in less than three years, I will do what you want." ”

Looking at Cheng Nan's heroic appearance, Tang Xi smiled in his heart, he has always been an ambitious and idealistic person, but he took a fork in the road at the beginning, and now he hopes to get what he wants with his kindness, but it's a pity that he ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for that day.

After this conversation with Cheng Nan, Tang Xi's plan was one more.

When you have money, your efficiency has always been much higher, and at dinner at night, Qingshuang came back with the painter, a very gentle-looking young man, Tang Xi felt quite satisfied with it, so he left the person with a wave of his hand.

The next morning, after getting up for breakfast, Tang Xi asked Qingshuang to bring the painter over, after all, there was not much time left, so he had to hurry up and imitate the painting skills of others.

"Princess ......"

Hearing Qingshuang's voice, Tang Xi came out of the inner room and said as he walked, "Are you here so soon?" ”

Then she paused, and because she was too surprised, her voice suddenly raised, "Huo ...... Huo Jinyan? Yes...... Isn't it, Lord Huo? ”

Qingshuang said with an embarrassed face on the side, "Princess, I met Master Huo when I asked people to ask for a painter, and Lord Huo heard that you wanted to learn to paint, and said that you were very good at painting, and then I came with you......"

"......" Tang Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, "Lord Huo...... Idle? ”

Huo Jinyan smiled gently, "Princess Xi is a distinguished guest from Daqian, so naturally she should be entertained, and I am fortunate that I can do some of the friendship of landlords." ”

In front of Qingshuang, Tang Xi still had to give Huo Jinyan some face, so she resisted the urge to slap him in her heart and smiled slightly, "Kill chickens with a knife, such trivial things can't trouble Lord Huo, Lord Huo has every opportunity, if I delay your business, then I am really guilty." ”

"No trouble." He pursed his lips, "If it's troublesome, I won't come." ”

Qingshuang glanced at the two of them who were obviously smiling but seemed to have a murderous aura flowing in the air, and finally lowered her head and said, "Princess...... Then I'll step back first, and you can tell me something. ”

As soon as Qingshuang left, Tang Xi's face suddenly fell, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Huo Jinyan, what do you want to do?" ”

"Teach you how to draw."

"I don't need you to teach ......"

"Or do you want Feng Lie to find clues in your paintings? No matter how careful you are, there are some details that you can't notice, and I am the one who knows you best, and I can help you draw a picture that is completely different from your previous style. ”

"......" Tang Xi fell silent, Huo Jinyan's words did poke at her death hole, if she really couldn't think of anything else that Feng Lie hated and others didn't know, she wouldn't want to risk using this method, she had luck in her heart before, even if there was a trace of similarity, Feng Lie shouldn't make more associations, but now if there is a way to leak, she will naturally be moved.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Tang Xi finally bowed his head, "Okay, you won, but it's useless, what do you want?" ”

Huo Jinyan took a step forward and picked up a strand of broken hair from Tang Xi's sideburns meaningfully, "Whatever I want, will you give it?" ”

He was too close, and his voice was too sultry, and the startled Tang Xi suddenly took a step back, and his face couldn't help but have a trace of red, and then subconsciously shouted, "Hey, hey, hey!" Seduction is a foul! ”

Seeing the hint of a smile on the corner of Huo Jinyan's mouth, Tang Xi realized what he had just said, and his face suddenly turned even redder, and he said after a while, "Anyway...... Anyway, you said it first, and then I'll decide whether to give it or not. ”

Huo Jinyan had seen enough of her jokes, and finally put away the playful look on his face, and said lightly, "I'll help you once, you tell me your next plan, how about it?" ”

“…… What is the plan? Tang Xi looked at him vigilantly.

"It's up to you to tell me."

Tang Xi lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time, now she has two goals, one is to find an opportunity to help Yan Ning and take the opportunity to plug Cheng Nan over; The second is to show his talent in front of Feng Lie, and then send him a pear blossom picture on his birthday to disgust him, the purpose is naturally to make him look down on himself without having a big good impression.

She analyzed the pros and cons of these two ideas, and sure enough, it was better to say that the second one was better, saying that Cheng Nan's incident might make Huo Jinyan notice some clues, and she couldn't take risks.

So she coughed lightly, "Deal, then I'll tell you the plan for this pear blossom diagram, pear blossom is the kind of flower that Feng Lie hates the most, and I sent this to disgust him, not only so that Qingshuang and they can't say anything, but also so that Feng Lie can dislike me." ”

"That's it?" Huo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid there are others." ”

"......" Tang Xi reluctantly continued, "I have offended many people since I came, and they will definitely take the opportunity to rectify me at that time, and when the time comes, I will have a perfect counter-kill, which will naturally make him look down on me, so that he will not be completely ignored as a nasty straw bag in the future." ”

Huo Jinyan nodded, "Then let's start." ”

Tang Xi watched Huo Jinyan walk to the table, but he was still not at ease in his heart, and said vigilantly, "You shouldn't listen to my opportunity and then intervene to help me, and then let me owe you a favor again?" ”

Huo Jinyan glanced up at her, and then pulled the corners of his mouth, "Don't worry, I won't interfere without your consent." ”

With his assurance, she felt a lot more at ease, so she also walked to the table and said to him, "Then let's start." ”

Huo Jinyan is really the person who knows her best, and even some of the small habits inherent in her painting are clear, under his guidance, Tang Xi barely drew a different small scene, but unfortunately it is different, but it is too far from beauty, so she can only practice one after another under the guidance of Huo Jinyan.

The breeze blows slowly, the pear trees outside the window bring out the deceptive fragrance of pear blossoms between the swaying, the woman holds a paintbrush in her hand, carefully traces on the paper, the man stands behind her, occasionally whispers in her ear, the picture looks warm and peaceful.

When Qingshuang walked in with the food, she saw such a scene, she was stunned for a moment, and then coughed heavily, interrupting the communication between the two, "Princess, Lord Huo, let's eat first." ”

Tang Xi looked up and saw the slight uneasiness in Qingshuang's eyes, and then she subconsciously turned her head to look at the person behind her, only to find how ambiguous the posture of the two was, she suddenly jumped, and hurriedly turned sideways to the side to distance herself. ”

Huo Jinyan's eyes sank slightly, and then glanced at Qingshuang as if inadvertently, but Qingshuang was suddenly frightened by the deep emotion in his eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head, and his voice trembled slightly, "Princess...... You use it slowly, and the green frost goes down first. ”

Looking at Qingshuang who left the house as if fleeing, Tang Xi frowned slightly and glanced back at Huo Jinyan, but saw Huo Jinyan walking towards him with a calm face, "It just so happens that I'm also a little hungry." ”

Tang Xi muttered in his heart, but he didn't think much about it.

And Qingshuang, who escaped from the room, finally breathed a sigh of relief after walking a long way, leaning against the tree and gasping softly, it was terrible...... Huo Jinyan's glance just now was like looking at a dead man, Qingshuang had no doubt that he wanted to kill himself at that moment!

Thinking of the scene she had just seen, Qingshuang couldn't help but tremble, she was sure that Huo Jinyan was interested in the princess...... If it were someone else, Qingshuang would not be moved in the slightest, but the other party was Huo Jinyan, that terrible man! She couldn't guarantee that he would bring any changes to their plans, so she took a deep breath and decided to inform the emperor of the news.

Tang Xi ate a little, and the feeling of embarrassment in his heart just now finally dissipated a lot, and then coughed lightly, "I'm almost done practicing today, and then I can draw a picture dedicated to the emperor no matter how skilled I am...... Master Huo doesn't have to come back in the future. ”

She was telling the truth, she was still talented in painting, and today under Huo Jinyan's guidance, she almost knew how to avoid all her past habits, plus she offered a pear blossom picture, Feng Lie would not have the mind to look at it carefully, so this level should have passed.

Huo Jinyan took a sip of tea, "And your words, could it be that you plan to only have a picture without an inscription?" Even if you don't inscribe this picture, maybe there will be some occasions in the future where you need to write, and will you be ready to play on the spot? ”

Tang Xi choked, wanting to say that it was not a big problem for this font to be different from the past, but after thinking about some of the small details that Huo Jinyan had pointed out when she was drawing before, she didn't even notice it, and immediately swallowed her words again.

But when I thought about it, I felt unwilling, so I said, "Why don't you finish it all today?" ”

Huo Jinyan glanced at her and said lightly, "I still have some things to do in the afternoon, I can't continue to stay here, let's do it another day, I'll come over again when I have time." ”

Tang Xi looked at Huo Jinyan speechlessly for a long time, but he didn't see whether he was telling the truth or simply looking for an excuse to do it again, and then thinking about Huo Jinyan's busy appearance as a spinning top in the past, he could only give up in the end.

After eating, Tang Xi looked at Huo Jinyan and saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he couldn't help but speak, "That...... I'll send Master Huo? ”

Huo Jinyan glanced at her, "So anxious to drive me away?" ”

Tang Xi, who was said to have hit the nail on the head, coughed lightly embarrassedly and said, "No...... I'm just afraid I'll delay your business. ”

Huo Jinyan looked at her weak look, and couldn't help but think of her flattering appearance when she was in the Prime Minister's Mansion in the past, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but float a light smile, and she couldn't help but raise her hand and tap her forehead, "This smart appearance is really a bit like when I first saw you." ”

As soon as the words came out, both of them fell silent, Tang Xi has experienced too much over the years, and when it comes to those carefree days in the past, they are only like a lifetime...... It's really a lifetime away.

"Let's go." In the end, it was Huo Jinyan who broke the silence, stood up and said to Tang Xi.

Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, "Where are you going?" ”

Huo Jinyan pursed his lips, "Aren't you going to send me off?" ”

...... "I'll just be polite, don't take it seriously!"

In the end, Tang Xi still went out to see off Huo Jinyan, and when he walked to the gate, he met Yan Ning who came back from going out, Yan Ning looked at the two people standing together with some surprise, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Huo? How do you have time to get here? ”

Huo Jinyan smiled slightly, "I heard that Princess Xi wanted to learn painting, and she happened to have nothing to do, so she came to teach Princess Xi, and she was about to go back at this time." ”

"What?" Yan Ning was even more surprised after hearing this, the prime minister of a country just came to teach her to draw? What does this mean? Could it be? His gaze couldn't help but wander between Huo Jinyan and Tang Xi.

Tang Xi noticed Yan Ning's gaze, and coughed lightly with a slight weakness, "Third brother, Master Huo still has something to do, so don't get in the way." ”

"Oh......" Yan Ning stepped aside when she heard this, "Then Lord Huo walks slowly." ”

After Huo Jinyan left, Tang Xi was about to slip away, but he was suddenly dragged by Yan Ning, and he said with a serious expression, "Why did you and Huo Jinyan get together?" ”

Tang Xi saw that she couldn't hide, so she stopped struggling, and it happened that Qingshuang was also there at this time, so she explained together, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”

After entering the house, Tang Xi left the green frost and white dew together, and then slowly spoke, "I don't know how much you know about my past, so I started from the beginning." ”

"I was displaced since I was a child, and when I was a teenager, I was sold to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I was a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then by chance I got Huo Jinyan's blue eyes and became his personal maidservant, and later because Huo Jinyan wanted to join forces with the Marquis of Anyuan, so I simply recognized me as my sister and married me to Lu Zheng, but because I didn't want to be given to Lu Zheng by him, I escaped from the capital by fraud and went all the way to Daqian...... After that, they will recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. ”

As for Tang Xi's origin, several of them had heard about it a little, but they didn't know that there was such a connection between her and Huo Jinyan, and after hearing Tang Xi's words, their faces were a little surprised.

Qingshuang was thinking, Huo Jinyan's demeanor was clearly interested in the princess before, why did the princess say that he gave her to someone else? Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look at Tang Xi's increasingly white and tender skin, and couldn't help but guess in her heart, could it be that she became beautiful that made him have other thoughts?

And Yan Ning was also a little worried in his heart, because of his identity, so he said it directly, "You have so many grievances before, he must have recognized you a long time ago, so he didn't say anything?" ”

Tang Xi said bluntly, "I have already talked to him once when he saved me at that time, and he promised not to use the past to interfere with me...... As for the reason why he frequently appears in front of me, I'm afraid I'm still worried about some conspiracy when I come back to the capital. ”

Yan Ning frowned when he heard this, and said uncertainly, "You are now coming to the capital to choose a son-in-law, so will he be...... Got a crush on you? Or maybe you have a crush on who you are? ”

"What are you kidding?" Tang Xi immediately retorted, "How could he possibly fall in love with me?" He recognized me as his sister before, and it is even more impossible to guess another guess, he is just a prime minister, why did he fall in love with my identity as a princess? Do you still want to rebel? Even if you want to rebel, you should talk to the emperor first, otherwise what's the use of marrying me? ”

Yan Ning nodded when she heard this, "There is some truth in what you said, but ...... Some people just know how to cherish after they lose, maybe after you leave, he suddenly finds that he likes you? You can't guess what a man thinks, if you don't have any intention of him, it's better to keep your distance from him, don't ruin your reputation. ”

Listening to Yan Ning's sincere admonition, she also softened a little in her heart, although Yan Ning had bad intentions towards her at first, but after mentioning him a few times, she was a little more kind to herself, thinking that now she is trying to find a way to trap him, she is really embarrassed...... However, for the sake of Cheng Nan, the pit still has to be pitted.

"Third brother, don't worry, I know it in my heart." After speaking, she turned to say, "I just saw that the third brother just came back from outside, where did he go?" ”

Yan Ning frowned slightly and said, "This Jiang Zizhong doesn't know what he wanted, today he actually tricked us into going to see the prince of Beiyang, the emperor didn't let us attend the reception banquet in Beiyang before, and it was clear that he didn't want us to have too much contact, who would have thought that Jiang Zizhong sent a post this morning saying that he invited me to come over for a drink, thinking that we are all vassal countries of Fengyuan after all, I didn't give him face last time, and it is not good to refute him again this time, so I and Qi Yufeng went, who would have thought that as soon as I went over, I found that there was also a prince of Beiyang. ”

Tang Xi couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said with some annoyance, "This Jiang Zizhong is really ghostly, and he won't stop if he doesn't stir up something!" If you want me to say, just ignore him and see what flowers he can come up with! ”

Of course, Tang Xi is just angry talk, in the end, he is the prince, how can he not give face so much.

"What did you say?" After being angry, Tang Xi asked again.

"I didn't say anything, but my attitude was quite gentle, saying that everyone made friends or something, and just said a few casual words."

Tang Xi sneered, "Beiyang probably didn't have any good intentions, knowing that Jiang Zizhong was restless, so I started with him to catch up with the two of you, if Jiang Zizhong was more restless, maybe he had reached some agreement with Beiyang, hehe...... Feng Lie is not as easy to get along with, if he doesn't restrain himself, they are afraid that Sheng Gu will suffer. ”
