White porcelain water, poured into the deep purple inkstone.

The cuffs are rolled up with red maple, revealing a section of clotted fat wrists.

The slender white fingers picked up the ink strip, submerged it into the clear water of the inkstone, and slowly circled, and the water gradually deepened.

The breeze enters the house, and suddenly a petal falls on the ink, golden and sweet, it is osmanthus.

Chi Tang stopped his movements and looked at it closely for a long time before carefully grinding it into the ink.

The fragrance of flowers overflowed from the ink fragrance, Chi Tang sniffed, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.

Will the words written in this square ink also have the fragrance of flowers? Can you dye his fingertips?

"Squeak-"

The door of the west wing opened, and Zhu Xian yawned and walked out.

Chi Tang glanced at her and complained, "Why did Uncle Shi get up?" You promised me to go horseback riding outside the city this morning! ”

Zhu Xian's movements froze.

It seems that there is such a thing......

"Shall we go now, then?" Zhu Xian asked cautiously.

"Not now!" When the little girl finished speaking, she lowered her head and ignored her.

Zhu Xian rubbed in front of her window and said, "Good Tangtang, I didn't mean it, I just ...... Accidentally overslept...... Next time you come in and wake me up! ”

Chi Tang raised his head and glanced at her, and said quietly: "Uncle Shi will beat people if he doesn't wake up." ”

Zhu Xian smiled dryly: "Then you let Tsing Yi come in and call me!" ”

Chi Tang lowered his head again, and Gu Zimo didn't speak.

"Oh, Tang Tang—" Zhu Xian said coquettishly, "just forgive me this time, right?" Shall we go out now? It's not too late to go out, it's not yet noon! ”

"I won't go out today," Chi Tang was unmoved, "I just received a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I want to write a reply to His Royal Highness in the afternoon!" ”

"The prince has a letter? What was said? Zhu Xian was suddenly full of interest.

I searched the bookcase, and sure enough, I saw a stack of letterheads.

"I won't tell you!" Chi Tang said indifferently.

Zhu Xian leaned on the windowsill and said with a smile: "If you don't tell me, I know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misses our crown princess!" ”

Princess Chi blushed and did not refute.

Zhu Xian's heart moved, and he approached her and asked, "When will you return to Beijing?" ”

Chi Tang's blush dissipated, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have to wait for the imperial edict." ”

Zhu Xian frowned and said, "That dog, will the emperor never let you go back?" ”

"I don't know," Chi Tang still shook his head, and then laughed again, "However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely come to pick me up before this winter!" ”

"Oh?" Zhu Xian raised his eyebrows.

How does this sound like a bit of blind trust?

"Really!" Chi Tang expressed dissatisfaction with her questioning, "When I left, His Highness said that he would definitely come to pick me up after the autumn harvest at the latest!" ”

That's what he just sent in the letter!

Zhu Xian hooked her chin and said with a smile: "Then he'd better not be late, otherwise I will abduct the crown princess to Qifeng Valley for the New Year!" ”

Chi Tang grinned and asked, "Is Qifeng Valley fun?" ”

"It's fun!"

Zhu Xian immediately introduced the benefits of Qifeng Valley to her.

“…… If you go, the mountains are full of your elders, and so many people spoil you, isn't it great? Zhu Xian winked at her.

Chi Tang nodded again and again, and said happily: "When Daddy goes to Qifeng Valley to propose, I must follow!" ”

Zhu Xian silently turned around and went to wash.

After washing, he suddenly remembered something, looked up and said to Chi Tang: "If you want to go out of the city recently, you must call me, I heard your father say yesterday that this time I arrested the city and caught many Tang Sect disciples, but ran away from the Great Elder Tang Xiong!" ”

Chi Tang glanced at her in surprise and asked, "Yesterday, my father said that he wanted to say two words to you alone, is that what he said?" ”

Dad is so serious, will Uncle Shi think he is boring?

Zhu Xian's face flushed, and he coped with it.

You can't tell her that she overheard it on the beam of her father's study at night, right?

Fortunately, Miss Chi only asked this sentence, and then brought the topic back: "Did the disciples of the Tang Sect run away?" ”

"Of course not!" Zhu Xian walked over and said, "There are Tang Sect disciples who confess, this time seven of the top ten elders have come out, Tang Jing, the daughter of the former head of the family Tang Bozheng, has also come out, and there are ......."

She reported a string of names, each of which was said in the tone of "famous on the rivers and lakes", but unfortunately Chi Tang didn't know any of them, and after listening to them, she only remembered that they were all surnamed Tang.

"Is it true that the disciples of the Tang Sect are all surnamed Tang?" Chi Tang asked casually.

"Yes! They don't accept disciples with foreign surnames, and they don't even intermarry with foreign surnames, and anyone who mentions the surname Tang in the martial arts will think of the Tang Sect-" Speaking of this, Zhu Xian suddenly looked at Chi Tang with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Chi Tang asked.

Zhu Xian leaned to the window, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Tang Tang, I remember your aunt, it seems that your surname is also Tang?" ”

Chi Tang nodded in a daze, and then came to his senses, a little crying and laughing: "How can my mother have a relationship with the Tang Sect?" My mother is Chen Liuren! ”

"I remember that your mother was an orphan girl?" Zhu Xian asked again.

Chi Tang couldn't help laughing for a while, and then said: "An orphan girl is an orphan girl, but she is not an orphan girl with an unknown background, my grandfather's family was originally in Chenliu, and she was a neighbor of the Chi family, and she moved to the capital later." ”

"Is your grandfather's family a family living in Chenliu?" Zhu Xian asked.

Chi Tang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, my father rarely mentions my grandfather's family to me......"

Not only did she rarely mention it, but she didn't even meet anyone from her grandfather's family.

But my father didn't say that there was no one in my grandfather's house, and when I asked, he only said that they were missing.

"Your grandfather's generation is in turmoil in the world, and when the world is in chaos, the household registration will be chaotic, maybe where your grandfather's family moved from!" Zhu Xian whispered.

These ponds are really not clear.

But she doesn't know, someone always knows.

Chi Tang put down the ink strip, folded his palm and shouted outward: "Uncle He-"

After counting three times in my heart, I heard He Bi's voice: "Why are you shouting so loudly?" I'm a Dark Guard! Do you understand the Secret Guard? The dark guard can't see the light, do you know how dangerous it is for you to shout about my existence like this? Not that I'm dangerous? You're in danger! You've exposed your cards! Originally, our secret guard was to surprise and take advantage of people's unpreparedness, do we still have an advantage like you? ”

After the first round of questioning, why did he bother to appear in the courtyard.

There were more than two dozen girls in the courtyard, and most of them just looked up at him casually, and then went about their business with their heads down.

Only Mei Niang saw him stand up suddenly, glared at him quietly, turned around and ran away.

Why did he accidentally see her eyes, unconsciously shrank a little, shook his head and shook it off, ran to the Chitang window with a smile, bowed to Zhu Xian first, and said attentively: "Miss Zhu slept well last night?" ”

Who knew that such an ordinary greeting caused Miss Zhu to blush and glare: "What's the matter with you!" ”

Why bother pursed his lips aggrievedly, turned to the most gentle and amiable little girl Chi, and complained, "What's the urgency to call me over?" You're in the inner house, it's not appropriate for me to come here, if—"

"Uncle He, do you know my grandfather's family?" Chi Tang interrupted him and asked.
