Pan Tong looked behind the screen, vaguely only looking at a woman with a rough outline, what kind of experience did she look like, but her brain was extraordinarily clear, and she didn't take the bait at all, but dug a big hole for him, and if she was not careful, she would be buried.

"In the future, the two of us will cooperate for a long time, as long as the two of us are honest with each other, the future will be convenient for each other." Xinyue still turned the mood between the two around, after all, it will be a long-term cooperation in the future, and it is not good to say no at once, so Xinyue continued, "There are still many places to rely on adults in the future, adults say yes?" ”

"It's to obey the orders of the county lord." Pan Tong folded his hand and saluted the crescent moon.

"Master Pan, you leave this picture, I also see this place for the first time, I want to take a look, and I will enter the palace to see the Queen Mother in a few days, the Queen Mother asked, I also know the place." The crescent moon wanted to leave this map-like sheepskin for people to visit secretly.

"This is for you." Pan Tong did not refuse, and Feng'er walked out of the screen and took the map.

"The four of you have come from afar, and you still don't have a rest and a meal, so I ordered someone to prepare a place and a meal for you, so stay and rest today."

"Yes" A few people went down under the beckoning of Uncle Wang.

Seeing the four of them leave, Crescent Moon let out a sigh of relief.

"Girl, don't be in a daze." Feng'er pushed the crescent moon.

Crescent Moon raised her eyes and looked at the same cheek, and Crescent Moon sighed, "Hey, put this away"

Feng'er put the map away, and Mama Wang looked at the new moon, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Hey, this majesty, isn't it causing trouble for me?" Xinyue stood up, Mama Wang helped her, Xinyue looked up and looked at Mama Wang, "Mama, make me a soup pot." ”

"Didn't you say you were going to eat roasted venison today? The slaves and maidservants marinated the venison. Mama Wang frowned when she saw Xinyue, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Oh, it's good to burn venison, it's good." Saying that, Xinyue walked into the back hall of the flower hall, returned to his room from the back hall, and as soon as he walked in the door, Xinyue heard movement in the inner room, Xinyue pushed open the door and saw Rong Ying lying on the ground, frowning.

Looking at the couch where he was lying just now, he should have rolled off the couch.

Crescent Moon looked at him frowning, frowning, wrinkling again, and finally sat up in confusion, but just as he saw Crescent Moon standing in the doorway. Crescent Moon snorted and laughed.

"Hahaha, you, how old are you, you will fall to the ground when you sleep." Crescent Moon held on to the door on one side, smiling and unable to stand up.

"I, this king doesn't, help, help me up." Saying that, Rong Ying stretched out his hand to Xinyue, he slept a little dazed, his eyes were red, and he was completely different from the past.

Xinyue didn't help him, but continued to smile and said to Rong Ying, "Get up, it's time to eat." ”

With that, Crescent Moon walked out of the bedroom and sat down at the dining table in the outer hall. The meal has been served, the slate has been placed, it will be hot, and the meat is being put on the slate and grilled.

After waiting for Xinyue to sit down, Rong Ying also got up from the ground, walked over in a few steps, and saw Xinyue eating here as if nothing happened, but still ignored him, Rong Ying sat next to Xinyue, and saw that she had changed her clothes and was wearing expensive jewelry on her head, Rong Ying asked, "Is there anyone here?" ”

Xinyue picked up the chopsticks, took a chopstick fish, put it between her lips, and mumbled.

"Who?" Rong Ying asked.

"Nobody" Xinyue took another bite of fish, and it tasted very good.

"You're frowning, sighing, eating, and saying no one?" Rong Ying also picked up the chopsticks.

Crescent Moon raised her eyes, looked at him and said, "You know, can you help me?" ”

"You can try it," Rong Ying said, picking up chopsticks.

"No need," she said, and the new moon diverted the topic and asked Feng'er, "Is it baked?" ”

"Well, come," she said, picking up a piece of meat and placing it on the plate at Xinyue's hand.

"After dinner, you can leave." The new moon picked up the piece of meat and put it on Rong Ying's plate. Rong Ying frowned, "En"

The two of them began to eat, and the only thing at the table was the sound of chewing food.

Rong Ying reached out and touched his forehead, and found that he was not too hot, and on the crescent couch just now, remembering that he was really asleep just now, he had forgotten when was the last time he was completely asleep, he glanced at the new moon, and then asked again, "If you really encounter any problems, I can help you." ”

"Girl" Uncle Wang stood outside the door.

The new moon did not pay attention to Ying, but looked at the new moon, "What's wrong?" ”

"Those people have already made arrangements, and they live in the house on the north side, the farthest away from the girl's yard, and there will be nothing wrong."

Crescent Moon nodded "Yes, good"

"Yes," he said, and Uncle Wang left the place.

Xinyue sat up straight, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, this meat was just cooked, with gravy, tender and delicious, Rong Ying saw Xinyue's eyes narrowed slightly, even if he looked at Xinyue, even if he was annoyed, he would still relax because of a bite of food.

"What do you think I'm doing? I don't have any food on my face again. Although Xinyue didn't look at Rong Ying, she could clearly feel that Rong Ying's gaze lingered on her face.

"You're really weird today." Rong Ying added a piece of meat, and when he put it in his mouth, he noticed that Xinyue's eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and then he seemed to have swallowed a fireball in his mouth, and that piece of meat was this fireball, rolling in his mouth. Rong Ying quickly spit it out.

Xinyue was really defeated by him, and raised his hand to bring him his tea, "I am no longer as strange as you, you are determined to make me laugh today, I am naturally cheering." ”

Rong Ying looked at Xinyue's crooked eyes, she was really smiling, he hoped that she could smile like this for the rest of her life.

"Since I made you laugh, can you tell me what happened?" Rong Ying took a sip of the tea that Xinyue handed him and asked.

"It's not a big deal. That is, during the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, His Majesty didn't give me a fief. Now that the head of the fiefdom has come to the door today, I am unprepared, and I am now anxious. ”

"I've really helped you with this, have you forgotten what I am?"

"What? Afraid of bitterness when drinking medicine, falling out of bed when sleeping, and burning your mouth when eating? ”

"Do you believe this king or not..."

"Believe in you? You're still going to smash my mouth, can't you? The crescent moon raised her voice.

"This king will not give you general knowledge." Rong Ying picked up the chopsticks a little angrily, but how could he really be angry with Xinyue.

"Yes, you have a lot of them." How smart the new moon is, it is natural to be able to tell that a person is lifeless. So the new moon opened her mouth and asked, "You just said that there is a way?" ”

"Not now." Rong Ying added the fish that Xinyue loves to eat, and sure enough, the fresh fish meat is tender and smooth, and there is a certain feeling of elasticity.

"Okay then." Crescent Moon continued to return to the cold appearance she had just seen, eating the rice in her bowl.

It's completely different from what Rong Ying thought, he obviously felt the new moon just now, he was really anxious, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, and he was about to collapse. But now she sat there and ate quietly.

Rong Ying's sleeves are a little in the way, he is wearing a wide-sleeved coat today, his arms are long, and when he picks up vegetables, his sleeves will fall on the dish at the back, and the others are fine, if they fall on the slate, this good piece of clothing will definitely be burned.

"Feng'er, go and bring the climbing belt" Xinyue ordered, and after a while, Hao'er took out a cyan belt from the inner room, and Xinyue handed it to Rong Ying, asking him to roll up his sleeves.

Rong Ying didn't answer, his attitude was very obvious, that is, to let Xinyue tie him with a climbing belt.

Xinyue let out a sigh, what kind of temper Rong Ying has, if she is hard against him, she will only encounter harder. So, Xinyue picked up the climbing belt, rolled up his two sleeves, and when he rolled his left hand, Xinyue saw a palm-sized scar coiled on it, which should be a scar, Xinyue looked at this scar and thought that this was Rong Ying, who suddenly went back that day, and was slashed by him with a knife when he was fighting with the secret guard named Ming. She didn't pay attention at that time, and besides, he dragged the wound and carried him off the thief ship, and sent him back home.

"Now you know, how good this king is to you, right?" Rong Ying saw that Xinyue looked at the wound without blinking, thinking that Xinyue wanted to thank herself but was speechless.

"You didn't bring it on yourself." As he spoke, Crescent pulled down the narrow-sleeved blouse he was wearing and covered the wound.

But Rong Ying turned over his hand, and Xinyue inadvertently saw the wound on his palm, this wound was really left by him to save himself, and he blocked in front of him, leaving his back, an incomparably reliable back.

"Yes, I brought it on myself. You lighten a little. Rong Ying frowned, Xinyue tied the climbing belt too tightly, Rong Ying couldn't help but say.

"Yes, yes" Although impatient, the new moon still loosened the strap a little.

The two continued to eat, and Xinyue took the initiative to speak, "What can you do?" ”

"After staying in the capital for more than half a year, you have forgotten that I was born as a local vassal king, and I am still our great sage, the prince with the most fiefs, and the entire state and Taizhou are my fiefs."

"Your fiefdom is amazing," Crescent Moon felt that he was not such a show-off person.

"Do you think that when I first took over the fiefdom, the Great Sect Division did not send me a superintendent? This is a place in Bingzhou, there are three officials, and there are three people, under the command of the three forces of the Great Sect Division, the Great Sect Division, just want to contain me like this, and in the end, they are still obedient to me. Not to mention Taizhou, which is adjacent to the eastern capital, and the officials in charge of the eastern capital can line up from the north street to the south, and they are in charge of Taizhou, which is more complicated than the strength of the state. ”

"If you want to show off your intrigues, I think you can go to Chunxing Teahouse."

"What are you doing there?" Rong Ying was interrupted while speaking, just with a puzzled face.

"There is the best storytelling stall in Jinling City," Xinyue's mouth was powerful, and it was also unforgiving.

"You girl, can you be a little patient? I'm about to talk about how to help you. Rong Ying was uncharacteristically lifeless, and said, "I have three stewards under my hands, and I will send them to the governors of Taizhou and Bingzhou respectively, if you need them, I can transfer one for you." Let him go to your little fiefdom and take care of it for you? ”

"Aren't you overkill? Your stewards have to be trained by you personally, and you will be entrusted with great responsibilities in the future, will they come to this little place of mine? Xinyue shook her head, feeling that if she used Rong Ying's stewardship, it would be really useless to kill chickens.

"You are a woman's family, you don't have a husband's family, your brother is still in prison now, and he will soon be imprisoned, those officials will inevitably despise you, I just saw you so annoying, obviously you have been despised by the officials who came, but according to your cleverness, you must have moved back to a game. But if you take a knife and pay him back, you will lose yourself in the end. After all, it is your fiefdom, and if you are in arrears of taxes for many years, and there are more people in the fiefdom, your head is likely to be lost. Rong Ying said very pertinently, directly analyzing the main problems that Xinyue is facing now.

"The Grand Patriarch can still cut off my head?" Crescent really didn't believe the last word.

"The great sect secretary naturally has no power, but His Majesty hates the prince and son who does not do his job properly and persecutes the good people, once he hears this kind of thing, he will be killed. Your head, in his eyes, is no different just because you are his niece's daughter. Rong Ying also saw His Majesty very thoroughly.

"What about you?" The crescent moon asked, "Will it be indiscriminate." Do you want my head? ”

"I'll only be more ruthless than Your Majesty, only, if it's you, I'll give you a chance to explain. However, there are ways to get things that don't have to go this far. I will send the steward to come over as soon as possible, and you and the steward will ask for a map, and tell him openly that I will send someone to inspect it, and then I will give your steward to check it again in secret. Let's find out the bottom first..."Rong Ying told Xinyue how to manage the fiefdom again, he is really doing this kind of thing, he is clearly organized, and he is also very in-depth in seeing things.

Rong Ying, whether it is thinking or what he understands, is not on the same level as Xinyue, and Xinyue feels that he praises himself for being smart, even with a little irony. So I couldn't help but ask, "You have such a high opinion, but you still want to praise me for being smart, do you just snicker when you see me playing smart?" ”

Rong Ying was about to tell Xinyue about the governance of the fiefdom, but when she asked so much, she suddenly became a little curious, "Sometimes I really want to cut open your brain with a knife to see what you are thinking inside." ”

Crescent Moon sneered, "In the human brain, there is only something like paste. ”

"I'm not looking at your jokes, of course. You are indeed very smart, you are smarter than all the ladies and ladies I have ever seen around you. But you naturally can't compare with men, although I am an unfavored prince, but I have also read thousands of books and seen thousands of miles of the world. And you, whether you like it or not, you have been in this boxy yard since you were born, and you are reading and reading just to pass the time. So I sometimes sigh, I don't think it's the first time you've heard such words. That is, if you are a man, you will definitely not be worse than the average man. You're the smartest of women, and that's what I mean by smart. Rong Ying said very pertinently, but Xinyue listened with anger, "This is the circle drawn by you men for us women." Can't we go out and travel thousands of miles? ”

"Naturally, I think you can. So you don't have to feel inferior because you haven't seen something and haven't grown insight. Rong Ying gave Xinyue an affirmative look, "Aren't you already out of the circle that others have drawn for you?" ”

Crescent Moon felt a sudden ray of sunlight hit her heart, and she felt a burst of warmth, a sense of understanding. She looked at Rong Ying's eyes and found that he really thought so, he felt that he was not deviant, but broken, and had been imprisoning his own things.

Rong Ying looked at the fish that was already cold, and sighed, "It's a pity that such a delicious fish is cold." Doesn't it mean that you don't eat a bite of cold fish? ”

He waited for a while, didn't wait for Xinyue's answer, turned his face to look at her, only to see that she was in a daze, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nope. It's okay" Xinyue was a little cramped, slowly came back to her senses, picked up the chopsticks at hand, and took a bite of fish in her mouth in a little panic.

Sure enough, the fish just touched the tip of the tongue of the new moon, and she spit it out, the fish was already very cold, and it smelled fishy, she was the most untainable fishy, so she covered her mouth and didn't recover for a long time.

"I didn't tell you just now, this fish is already cold. Come on, bring a cup of tea. Rong Ying commanded, and he stretched out his hand to pat Xinyue's back, so that her digestion would be faster, and the fishy smell in her mouth would quickly disappear.

Xinyue rinsed her mouth with tea and drank two more sips of tea to suppress the nausea, so that she got better.

"I didn't eat it, you can eat it quickly. This exposed meat is for you, and if you don't eat it, it will be wasted. "Naturally, Xinyue can't eat anything, but looking at the venison that still has half a plate left, it really feels a pity.

"Give it to the people to eat, and the king is full, so let's withdraw." Rong Ying flipped through the teacup in her hand and took a sip of tea, but found that the fragrance of this tea was strong, but after taking a sip, she found that it was just ordinary tea, and the taste might have just reached ordinary Longjing.

"This is the tea tree on the mountain behind me, and the tea made from the tea I picked. This tea is only fragrant and intimidating, and the taste is really average. Xinyue also put down the tea in her hand, she is used to drinking good tea.

"I remember that the tea you drank was very particular, since you knew that this tea was not good, why did you still brew it to drink?" Rong Ying asked puzzled.

"When I first smelled the tea, I thought it was a good tea. When you first saw me, you thought I was a perfect fit for you. But when you find out I'm not that person, what will you do to me? Crescent asked.

"What do you mean by seeing you for the first time? Not counting the previous ones, how many times have we seen back and forth since we started with the merger of states? My eyes have been watching, are you suitable for me? Don't I count in my heart? This time, it was Rong Ying's turn to be a little angry, and he put the tea aside, "You naturally won't be such a different person." ”

"Perhaps." In fact, even Xinyue herself doesn't know herself very well, what kind of person she is, if you want to understand a person, this is a very complicated process, Xinyue doesn't have the confidence to show others, after showing all of herself, she will be liked by others. In the same way, the new moon also has no confidence that she will fall in love with the whole of a person.

Thereupon...

"So, are you just closing yourself up?" Rong Ying finally saw what Xinyue was making awkwardly, just now she wanted to let herself get rid of her as soon as possible, so that she could get rid of herself as soon as possible, in this garden, a person is free and lonely for the rest of her life, "You think it's so beautiful." ”

"You..." Xinyue found that no matter what she said to Rong Ying, the chat mode of the two would eventually return, and she couldn't say anything that was angry with him, just you, you, you.

"You don't stutter either, do you?" Rong Ying was teasing her with an iron heart, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never stopped, which was a relief he hadn't felt for a long time.

"I'm mad at you." As she spoke, Crescent Moon stomped on the ground with her foot. This action was absolutely not allowed for the new moon's aunt to do when she was alive, and the aunt said that only people who had no self-cultivation would do so.

And before, she was really not so popular that she stomped her feet, Xinyue felt that it must be that Rong Ying was too annoying, and she really didn't have much self-cultivation, so she was so angry that she couldn't speak, plus stomped her feet.

The two had eaten and drank tea. Rong Ying saw that Xinyue didn't drive him away, so he naturally didn't mention it boringly, but sat on the couch with her.

The crescent moon was placed under the east window, the length of a whole wall, slightly narrower than the bed, and the fire underneath, which was very warm in winter.

It is covered with padded fur and large and small pillows, so it is really comfortable to rest in.

Rong Ying just likes this, comfortable feeling. And then there's the feeling of the crescent moon sitting next to him.

Crescent Moon raised her eyes and glanced at him, "Do you think your throne is secure?" So even if you don't even dare to participate in such a big event as worshipping the sky? ”

"What's the matter, are you worried about me?" Rong Ying was half-lying on a long pillow, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, like a leisurely and comfortable young master, squinting at Xinyue, who didn't notice that the mist of rosemary in his eyes had not surged in front of her once.

"Whatever you want." Xinyue didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up the book she had just read halfway, and flipped to the corner where she chose the leaves.

Rong Ying saw that Xinyue was reading, so she tilted her body again, ready to lie on the couch. Crescent Moon crossed him with her eyes and said, "You really call me here your home?" If you rest, don't go home quickly. Do you want to spend the night with me? ”

"Then why not?" Rong Ying continued to lie down on her own, and what she got was indeed the book that Xinyue smashed over, "You scoundrel, if you don't leave, I will report to the official." ”

Rong Ying looked at the one that smashed on her and smiled, "I thought you were so powerful, you, after pretending for a day, you will be ruined." ”
