"Of course I painted it myself." Jiang Shishi nodded.

When she gave the prince the sketch of farm tools before, the prince didn't ask about this, why did he ask about it now?

Thinking of this, Jiang Shishi asked again, "Is it that these weapons are not good and are not suitable for the Eastern Liang Kingdom?" ”

"Yes, yes." Pei Xuanling looked at the weapons drawn on the drawing, "It's just that when I went to the Ministry of Industry, I heard that an official from the Ministry of Industry had presented an improved weapon artwork to my father. ”

"After my father got that artwork, Long Yan Dayue not only asked the Ministry of Industry to immediately start building a new type of weapon, but also promoted the official, and Gu looked at the artwork, and the weapon painted on it was the same as the one you drew."

"It's the same as what I painted?" Jiang Shishi wrinkled her eyebrows and pondered for a while, thinking of the manuscript she had lost, and couldn't help asking: "Who is that Ministry of Industry official?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "Lu Darong." ”

"Lu Darong?" Jiang Shishi frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Pei Xuanling: "This person was originally a member of the Ministry of Labor, and now he has been promoted to the Ministry of Labor. Let's put it this way, you may be clear, she is Lu Meiren's father. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shishi's whole person suddenly realized, and probably understood the reason.

"No wonder when Lu Meiren was learning to dance with her concubine that day, she lost a weapon artwork in her sleeve pocket, and she didn't find it after looking for a long time, it turned out that she picked it up and let her father bear this fame."

Speaking of this, she also looked at the prince aggrievedly, "And you, just now I asked if I painted this drawing, do you not trust my ......?" ”

"......" Looking at the woman's aggrieved appearance, Pei Xuanling rarely explained patiently, "When Lone got this artwork you gave, he just wondered why the Ministry of Engineering had it before you. Now that you have explained the ins and outs, Lone naturally believes in you. ”

Jiang Shishi glanced at the prince sadly, her heart was a little more comfortable, and she tried to ask: "Your Highness, is that drawing of Lu Darong only a weapon, without a detailed annotation?" ”

"......" Pei Xuanling thought about it for a moment, "The painting is indeed not as detailed as the annotations on your paper, but there are also some annotations, and they are not your handwriting." ”

Considering that the woman thought he didn't trust her, he added, "I guess they've already swapped your drawings and added some annotations." ”

He also comforted the woman, "Don't worry about this matter, don't make a noise, wait for Gu Ming'er to go to the Ministry of Industry to understand the situation and then decide what to do next." ”

"I'm not in a hurry..."Jiang Shishi said: "The artwork I lost did not have a detailed annotation, and they added annotations just based on speculation, which is also nonsense, and we may be able to start from this aspect." ”

Pei Xuanling nodded, "Well, Lone thinks so too." ”

"Your Highness, little lord, it's time to eat." While the two were discussing the matter, the minions had already heated up the meal and began to set up the meal.

After Jiang Shishi served the prince to clean his hands, the two sat face to face on the table of the Eight Immortals for dinner.

Since the prince would drink wine during his meal, the servants would prepare a pot of wine on the table every time they had a meal.

It's just that every time the prince drinks a cup or two, Jiang Shishi doesn't drink it.

Today she was not in a good mood, and after pouring wine for the prince, she also poured herself a glass of wine.

Although she handed over the weapon artwork to the prince, she planned to hide her merit and fame from the beginning, and let her second brother Jiang Yongjie replace this fame.

But Jiang Yongjie is a member of the Jiang family, and she voluntarily gave it up, so that the fat and water would not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Outsiders like Lu Meiren picked up the note and took it to Lu Darong to get promoted and make a fortune without saying a word, which is really unpleasant.

Pei Xuanling was slightly stunned when he saw the woman pour two glasses of wine.

Considering that the woman was in a bad mood, he did not hinder her.

Seeing that the woman who used to enjoy the meal wholeheartedly, she didn't drink a mouthful of soup or a bite of food today, so she took the lead in drinking a small glass of wine, Pei Xuanling couldn't help but remind her, "Eat more food and drink again." ”

As he spoke, he put a few chopsticks into the woman's bowl and served with the drink.

Jiang Shishi nodded in response, took a bite of appetizers, and then drank another glass of wine.

Seeing that the woman was as heroic as she was eating, Pei Xuanling read again, "Drink slowly, don't take a sip of a glass." ”

Jiang Shishi looks like she is drunk heroically, but in fact, every time she drinks a glass of wine, she feels hot in her mouth and throat.

Now that she heard the prince's reminder, she listened to him, drank slowly, and ate meat.

Seeing that the woman's cheeks were dyed red, Pei Xuanling directly ordered the servant, "Huang Dechang, take this wine down." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Shishi raised her head and stared at the man dissatisfied, "People finally drank a drink, can't they let me have a good drink?" ”

Huang Dechang was about to remove the wine jug, but seeing that Jiang Liangdi was not happy, he stopped again.

Who made Jiang Liangdi favored, what if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would indulge her to have a good drink?

"I can't." Pei Xuanling raised his hand slightly, signaling the slave to withdraw the wine.

After Huang Dechang withdrew the wine, Pei Xuanling served a bowl of mutton soup to the woman, "You don't drink alcohol on weekdays, but now you can't drink too much at once, plus you are weak, so as not to make your body unbearable ......"

Jiang Shishi was full of pride when she drank it, and she felt a little dizzy after drinking, and it seemed to be a little upright?

The prince, who had never spoken much, still had to recite scriptures in her ear like Tang Seng, and she felt even more dizzy.

However, fortunately, my head was only dizzy, and there was nothing else unusual.

She drank a bowl of soup and two bowls of white rice.

After eating and drinking, the prince was ready to take the woman for a walk in the garden of the East Palace to eat, blowing the evening breeze by the way, and being able to sober up.

As soon as the two walked to the door of Shiyue Pavilion, Jiang Shishi saw a wild cat swaying at the door.

The cat was small and thin, with black and gray striped hair.

"Chunxing, bring some leftovers from our night's meals......" In the past, when Jiang Shishi saw a wild cat, she would also ask the minions to feed some food.

Therefore, those wild cats love to wander around the Shiyue Pavilion.

The minions were already cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and soon brought a plate of leftovers.

Jiang Shishi took the plate in Chunxing's hand, it was a plate of leftover yellow croaker.

She used chopsticks to mix the soup with the leftovers, then squatted down and placed the plate in front of the kitten, "Eat." ”

The little wild cat smelled the smell of the food, moved it to the plate little by little, opened its mouth and ate it in small bites.

Jiang Shishi put her hand on the cat's head, and then slowly stroked it to the slippery back.

Maybe Jiang Shishi rewarded it with food, it didn't look vicious, or the fish soup bibimbap was too delicious, and the cat didn't hide, let her stroke it.

"Kitten, kitten, why haven't I seen you begging for food before, look at you so thin, there is only skin and bones left on your back, look at the strange and pitiful ......" Jiang Shishi whispered while brushing her hair.

Pei Xuanling stood aside with his hands in his hands, looking down at the woman squatting on the ground condescendingly.

She has always been round, but at the moment she looks so weak and pitiful.

Pei Xuanling's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and his heart was somehow soft, "Well, this kitten looks strange and pitiful......"

Jiang Shishi raised her head and looked at the man, "Your Highness, don't you think I'm also quite pitiful?" ”

"......" Pei Xuanling's beautiful eyes on the woman, which had always been clear and clear, were looking at him in confusion and innocence at the moment.

Seeing that the man didn't speak, Jiang Shishi got up and was ready to ask the man in front of her.

However, when he got up, his head was dizzy, and his eyes were black.
