Tianbao eight years, the ninth day of the first month is ugly, the night is deep in Tingzhou City, dark clouds are heavy, and the stars and moon are not visible.

Aitenga awoke from her nightmare, curled up in a ball, and wept in bed.

She didn't want to cry, but the tears in her eyes were like the Suye River flooding in summer, and no matter what kind of embankment she used, she couldn't stop it.

"Yiyue, what's wrong? Another nightmare? Not far away, through the curling incense of tranquility, Xiao Langjun's anxious inquiry was heard.

"I'm fine...... said in a low voice, holding back the sourness in her nose.

Aitengna's eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw that Xiao Langjun had already blown the fire fold, and then lit the candle on the desk.

Soft light. When the room was full, Aitengna suddenly felt a familiar smell in front of the tip of her nose, and gently fanned her nose and sniffed, only to find that the candle she had just lit was different from the one she had used before, and there was a familiar smell of vanilla in it.

Xiao Langjun was half-wrapped in a brocade quilt, put on slippers, opened the beaded curtain, and came to the outer room where Ayi Tenggena was.

He smiled and said to Ayitengna, "This is the vanilla candle I just bought yesterday, and the Sogdian merchants in Nanshi said that the vanilla in the candle was picked near Atami. I see you've been having nightmares lately, and you're trying to find something that feels familiar to you. Atami is not far from Shattered Leaf Castle, so you have a chance to smell it before you come. ”

I don't know if it's because of vanilla, or because of Xiao Langjun's dark eyes and the grinning expression on his face, Ai Tenggena felt that her mood gradually calmed down, she moved her body into the bed, and then said to Xiao Langjun: "It's cold, Xiao Langjun might as well sit on my bed, so as not to get cold." ”

Before Ayi Tenggana could say a word, she found that Xiao Langjun's face seemed to have a dye shop, with various colors.

Aitengna didn't know what she had done wrong, and was a little stunned for a moment.

"It's nothing, but I suddenly feel like I've traveled to "Dream of Red Mansions", this plot is a bit like "Love and Good Night Flowers Explain, Meaning Quiet Day Jade Fragrance". Xiao Langjun said something that made Ayi Tenggena feel clueless.

After getting along for a few months, Ai Tenggana knew that Xiao Langjun seemed to have encountered a shocking accident outside Broken Leaf City, and she had more strange insights in her mind, and she also added some incomprehensible actions.

For example, he resolutely disagreed with Aitengna living in the inner room of the dormitory with him like a personal maid, but let Aitengana sleep in the outer room, and drove away the eldest maid Meixiang and the two servants.

For example, he hated clogs so much that he drew a pattern of his own and asked the tailor to make a pair of low shoes without a back half, which he called "slippers".

For example, he doesn't like to kneel on the ground, and these days he has been drawing patterns, looking for carpenters to make "chairs" and "benches...... Ayitengna looked at the pattern drawn by Xiao Langjun and found that the "chair" was actually a tall stool with armrests.

What made Ayi Tenggana feel incomprehensible was that Ah Lang was actually messing around with Xiao Langjun, no matter what strange ideas and practices Xiao Langjun had, Ah Lang just smiled and looked at it, and let Xiao Langjun do it.

Ai Tenggana also knew that Pei Niangzi didn't like Xiao Langjun at all, and hated Xiao Langjun's nonsense very much.

Although Aitenghena is young, she is after all the county lord of the Turgish Khanate, and she has listened to her father Khan's explanation of many intrigues and tricks since she was a child, and she has also seen a lot of deceitful things.

Thinking of this, Ai Tenggena was sad again, first thinking of the vague memory of Ah Niang, although her father Khan never mentioned it, but Ai Tenggena knew that Ah Niang's death was by no means a simple matter; And what made Aitenga even more uncomfortable was that she once again thought of Shattered Leaf City, and remembered the carefree life before the Great War.

"Yiyue, are you uncomfortable again?" While Aitengna was pondering, Xiao Langjun wrapped himself in the quilt, sat on Aitengna's bed, and squeezed together with her.

"I think of Broken Leaf City again, I think of Father Khan and Kudulu ......" Ayitengna lay on Xiao Langjun's shoulder, tears stained the brocade quilt: "I just dreamed that I was still in Broken Leaf City, riding a horse and galloping freely, and Father Khan and Kudulu were both accompanying me behind!" But as I ran, I ran into a fog, and I couldn't find my father Khan and Khudulu. I searched and searched, but I couldn't find them. Suddenly, I heard my father's voice calling me, and I hurried over, only to see my father's Khan lying motionless on the grass with arrows and covered in blood. I tried my best to shake my father's sweat, hoping that he would wake up quickly, but I couldn't shake my father's sweat......"

Ai Tenggna sobbed as she spoke, she felt that Xiao Langjun put his arms around her, and then said in a low voice: "Yi Yue, in fact, I often have nightmares. My nightmares are deeper and more terrible than yours. You have lost your father Khan, but Kudulu must still be alive, and since the Great Cannibal saved him, he will definitely use him. But what I have lost is separated by time and space, and I am no longer in the same world; And the future that I know worries and fears me even more. The Battle of Broken Leaves is a devastating battle for you, but I know that there will be even more terrifying wars and fights in the future, and the entire land of China will sink......"

Ayi Tenggena couldn't fully understand Xiao Langjun's words, but she felt from Xiao Langjun's deep tone that didn't match her age that what Xiao Langjun said was very important, and she had to memorize it by heart.

At the same time, what made her a little happy was that she heard Xiao Langjun say that Kudulu was not dead. She is a little superstitious about Xiao Langjun now, and thinks that he knows everything, and what he says must be true.

"Xiao Langjun, can you be sure that Kudulu is still alive!?" Aitengna stopped crying.

"Silly girl, you are so smart, how could you not have imagined that your father Khan must have something to rely on when he desperately broke through. And in the end, he willingly killed himself to save you and Kudulu, indicating that his talisman is on you and Kudulu. Looking at it now, it must be something of great value on Kudulu, which is what the people of Shiguo or the Great Cannibal especially want. As you know, Kudulu was rescued by the Assassins of the Great Food Country, and has not been searched for by us since. Then he must have been taken to the country of stone or Khorasan, he has important things on him, and his identity is the prince of the Turgish Khanate, no matter where he goes, he will be a strange commodity to live in, and his life will not be in danger. Xiao Langjun explained in detail.

In fact, Ayi Tenggena has listened to Xiao Langjun analyze this passage countless times.

At first, she didn't quite understand some of the words in it, especially the idiom "strange goods can live". However, after listening to it many times, Ayi Tenggena was not only able to understand every word and every word in it, but also the story of Lü Buwei and Qin Shi Huang.

However, she still likes Xiao Langjun to tell her over and over again, as if every time she talks about it again, the hope that Kudulu is still alive is a little greater.

"Silly girl, sleep! Don't be bad! Xiao Langjun gently patted Ai Tenggena on the back and coaxed her to sleep.

At this moment, after being captured by the Tang Army, Ayi Tenggena finally completely let go of the innocent and lovely disguise of the day, and fell asleep on Wang Fei's shoulder.

When she was about to fall asleep, she heard Xiao Langjun say to herself: "I must try to change some things......"

When Aitenga woke up from her deep sleep again, she was free from the nightmare and refreshed. She quickly looked at the silver leak in the room, and it was already more than three quarters old.

Ayitengna hurriedly put on a short shirt and a long skirt, put on a fox fur, and walked into the inner room, ready to wake up Xiao Langjun.

When Ayitengna arrived at the bedside, she saw that Xiaolang Junren was no longer in bed. Aitengana remembered that when she was in Shattered Leaf City, Kuduru was also diligent, getting up early in the morning to practice riding and archery.

Probably hearing the sound of Aitenggena getting up, the two servants carefully pushed the door in with a copper basin of hot water and walked in, followed by the big girl Meixiang who was humming.

Mei Xiang's face was full of impatience, but she had to start serving Ai Tenggna to freshen up.

Aitengna knew that Xiao Langjun did not regard himself as a slave, but took care of himself as a sister like Kudulu. She is nominally Xiao Langjun's maidservant, but in fact, she often enjoys the service of others with Xiao Langjun.

Of course, Ayitengna is very aware of her situation and status, and she can also feel the hostility of the other maids and maidservants, so as long as she can do what she can, she rushes to do it, fights to do it, and tries her best to adapt to the identity of a servant girl.

The biggest headache for Ayitengna is that she doesn't comb her hair and braid, after all, for as long as she can remember, Aitengna has always had no less than 10 handmaidens by her side, and she has never done anything about it.

These days, she has been working hard to learn, but the braids she braids herself are definitely not as good as those that others weave for her.

After Xiao Langjun saw the embarrassment of Ai Tenggena braiding herself a few times, he asked the eldest girl Meixiang to help her braid every morning.

Sometimes if Ayitengna wakes up early, Xiao Langjun actually rolls her pigtails for her with great interest. This surprised and moved her, she didn't expect Xiao Langjun to be so interesting and patient.

Mei Xiang's movements were particularly heavy, making Ai Tenggena's scalp tingle, but Ai Tenggena didn't say anything, just endured it silently.

She knew that Mei Xiang was angry in her heart, and knew that if it weren't for Xiao Langjun's order, Mei Xiang would definitely not be too lazy to look at herself.

Once again, she secretly made up her mind that she must learn to make her own hair as soon as possible.

Mei Xiang kept making small movements on her hands, and her mouth was not forgiving: "You lazy embryo, you get up later than Xiao Langjun every day, this little girl is really idle." Not only do you not serve Xiao Langjun well, but you also have to let us serve you, and those who don't know think you are a delicate golden branch and jade leaf! This lowly captive and slave is so stupid and lazy! ”

The more Mei Xiang said that the movements in her hands became bigger, and several strands of Aitengna's hair were ripped off by her. But Ayi Tenggna is like a wooden man, not moving, not angry or happy, and even the words "golden branches and jade leaves" did not move her heart.
