With candy for diplomacy, He Xiaoqiao smoothly mingled with the most favored small county lord in Xiangyang Palace.

Two girls of similar age have become friends after eating a round of snacks and candies, if it weren't for Jiang Fenghao's identity as an elder, the little county lord who wanted to learn from the children of the rivers and lakes almost pulled He Xiaoqiaoyi to marry Jin Lan as a sister.

After sitting in the palace for most of the day, in the end, I still couldn't see the legendary Princess Xiangyang who was once the first beauty of Dayan, seeing that it was getting late, He Xiaoqiao and Jiang Fenghao were no match for Jiang Yujing and Steward Xu's double pleas, and the husband and wife had a meal in Xiangyang Palace before leaving.

Before leaving, He Xiaoqiao stuffed a jar of maltose made earlier to Jiang Yujing, and the little girl picked up a little bit with chopsticks, and soon fell in love with the sweet and delicious taste, and couldn't put it down and took it back to her room and hid it.

Listening to He Xiaoqiao say that maltose is not only easy to reduce, but also can strengthen the stomach, eliminate food, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and I am even more happy in my heart - Princess Xiangyang suffered from a cold a few days ago, and now she still has cough symptoms, which can be used for her.

When he came out of the palace, He Xiaoqiao deliberately brought a large basket of acacia flowers. After processing and cooking, it is dried and soaked in water, which not only clears away heat and relieves heat, invigorates blood and relieves pain, but also nourishes skin and freckle after drinking more, and can even be used to relieve hangover.

As night approached, the lanterns in the streets lit up. The carriage walked along the bluestone pavement, and the pedestrians on the road dodged one after another.

The houses on both sides of the street were dimly lit, and I don't know whose children came home too late, being whined and cried by their parents, mixed with a few barking dogs that came and went.

He Xiaoqiao lifted the curtains and looked out, and the surrounding scenery was familiar to him. Sunrise and sunset, she has gradually melted into this ordinary and quiet life in Dayan for more than a year, and rarely recalls the days when she was crawling in the steel and cement forest.

Suddenly his face was cold, and there were water droplets falling on his face, and then those water droplets fell more and more, more and more urgently, hitting the ground and making a lot of noise, and it was actually crackling and raining heavily.

A feeling of loss for no reason, He Xiaoqiao rested his chin on the back of his hand, leaned on the window and stared blankly at the scene passing by the window, his hair was wet by the rain and he didn't realize it, but his nose was sore, and his eyes immediately reddened slightly.

It's so bad, she seems to be unable to restrain herself and start to be sad.

One side with a familiar mint-scented handkerchief blocked her view, Jiang Fenghao hugged her back from behind, let her sit in his arms, and wiped all the rain off her face for her.

"Who upset the lady? Tell the husband to let the husband help the lady get angry. ”

is obviously coaxing a child, but He Xiaoqiao is very useful. Let him break like this, the sorrow that had just risen in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed.

Reaching out to hug his neck, he rubbed his face against his chest, He Xiaoqiao burst into tears and smiled, "Jiang Fenghao, go back and I'll make maltose pot for you to eat." ”

"And the shallots, crepes, and the double skin milk!" Jiang Fenghao salivated and took the opportunity to ask - these two things are his favorites recently, especially the fragrant and delicate double-skin milk, two bowls a day is something that cannot be shaken.

"And the scallion pancakes! When did you become like the white head? He Xiaoqiao smiled and teased, "Eat so many desserts, and I'm not afraid of sleeping in the middle of the night and letting the ants carry them away." ”

"If the husband really lets the ants carry it away, the lady must come to save the husband." Jiang Fenghao winked at her, pretending to be a sad and complaining little daughter-in-law, "Otherwise, my husband will definitely be sad and sad and can't eat every day......"

The small lantern hanging on the roof of the car swayed from side to side as the carriage walked, and He Xiaoqiao reached out to grab his big palm and intertwined his fingers.

Both of them wore two rings on their ring fingers, the same one gold and one black, which was extremely discordant, but He Xiaoqiao himself looked at it and enjoyed it, "If you can't eat, then eat ants on the tree." ”

Jiang Fenghao raised his eyebrows, and asked shamelessly, "Lady, what is an ant on a tree?" ”

"A famous dish made with more than a dozen condiments such as vermicelli, minced pork, and minced ginger and garlic. The color, flavor and flavor are beautiful, no worse than braised pork. ”

“…… After going back, the husband immediately went to drill the ant hole, and the lady remembered to take the ants up the tree to save the husband! ”

“……！”

Coming back from the Xiangyang Palace, the days passed for a few days.

Summer is approaching and the weather is getting hotter.

During the period, the princess of Xiangyang brought the lord of Yujing to sit on the door once, she is a bold and erudite woman, but she has a gentle and gentle appearance, and it is well maintained, she is nearly fifty years old, and she looks like a mature woman of thirty years old, which really has to be amazing.

The two have been talking for most of the day, from astronomy and geography to ancient and modern legends to children's routines and hobbies, they are simply confidants.

As for Jiang Yujing, who was full of curiosity, after all, she was still a child, as soon as she entered the door, she was fascinated by the many sweets and pastries in the house, tried a lot of things, not to mention, and shouted that she wanted to learn to make pastries like her cousin Jinghe to honor her parents.

Children have this kind of respect for the old and love for the young, which is definitely worth encouraging, so He Xiaoqiao called Cailian, who was deeply known to her, and asked her to take Jiang Yujing, who was eager to try, to the kitchen to preach and teach.

The mother and daughter stayed in the house all day, and after dinner, they still planned to wait until the supper time to try the legendary barbecue, if it weren't for the king of Xiangyang who came to the door with a stinky face, it is estimated that they would really live in the house.

Jiang Fenghao and He Xiaoqiao sent their family of three out together.

Princess Xiangyang, who had only been promoted to grandmother a few days earlier, pulled He Xiaoqiao aside, secretly stuffed a purse-like thing into her hand, and said in a low voice, "I forgot it earlier, and now I remember to give it to you - you can put this thing away, it is quite useful for us women." ”

He Xiaoqiao made her mysterious tone attract, put the purse in her hand and checked it, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this?" ”

It is quite useful for women, could it be that it is something that nourishes qi and nourishes blood and beauty?

Princess Xiangyang patted the back of her hand and looked at her with disgust, "Of course it's a good thing, you should understand that you are already married, do you want my elderly sister-in-law to explain it to you so clearly?" ”

He Xiaoqiao was at a loss for a while, and when he reacted, he almost didn't spray rice on the spot.

Giving "sex" supplies when we met for the first time, such a powerful move - sixth sister-in-law, are you sure you really didn't come from modern times?

"Anyway, we women are always idle at home, and it is not lonely to have a child by our side. You've been married to Lao Seventeen for a few days, so I'll find a doctor to see if you're pregnant? Princess Xiangyang continued to lower her voice, and enthusiastically pointed to He Xiaoqiao with the attitude of a passerby, "If you are not pregnant yet, remember to eat this thing every morning and evening, and take care of your body, and you will soon be able to get a man in one fell swoop!" ”

It turned out that she misunderstood, the purse was not filled with sex toys, but a panacea for infertility!

"Ahem!" He Xiaoqiao coughed, subconsciously turned his head to look at Jiang Fenghao, and found that he was also looking at himself, so he hurriedly turned back and stuffed things into his sleeve pocket with a little weakness.

Although she didn't think she needed to use this thing, after all, it was someone's heart, and it seemed a little rude not to accept it, "Thank you, sister-in-law." ”

"What do you say about those vanity? It's all your own family, thank you! Princess Xiangyang laughed, and said a few more thoughtful words to her, and then reluctantly followed her husband and daughter into the carriage and returned home.

He Xiaoqiao stood at the door and waved at them.

Jiang Fenghao walked over slowly, opened his hand and wrapped her in his arms, and said in a lazy voice, "Lady, go back." ”

He Xiaoqiao nodded, followed behind him, and asked him to pull him into the house.

The vermilion lacquer door slowly closed behind the two of them, blocking out all the prying eyes hiding in the shadows.

And at this moment, in a corner of the east wing of the palace, Hong Fang had just walked out of the shade of the tree, and the silver-white moonlight reflected on him, making him even more tall and burly like an iron tower.

He was carrying a skinny man in a night coat, apparently fainted.

Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Bai Shou still had a cool face, holding a long sword with both hands around his chest, and his voice was quite cold, "How many are you today?" ”

Hong Fang reached out and scratched the back of his head, and after thinking for a while, he responded uncertainly, "...... Does it seem like the fourth, or is it the sixth? ”

"The seventh!" Someone in the tree not far away couldn't help but interject, but when he heard his voice, he couldn't see him.

"Whatever! Anyway, if you catch one, it counts as one. Hong Fang smiled, threw the 'garbage' in his hand that had been blue and swollen and completely unconscious into the corner, and counted it with his fingers, "Ten taels for a living mouth, three is thirty taels, and a few more can buy a golden hairpin for Yinhua......"

The guards who were hiding in all directions were so red that they couldn't bear to see him show off the money he had earned overnight.

In the past, their duty was to protect the safety of the palace and do reconnaissance work, except for hiding in the corner and feeding mosquitoes every day, they counted their fingers, and their lives were really boring.

However, recently, I don't know which one I can't think of, and I suddenly want to try the cordon of the palace, and at night, I like to send those spies of the three religions and nine streams to the protection net of the palace one after another.

The poor and boring secret guards in the house had to shoot down from the walls and roofs every day, so a dozen or so men in black, and when they were idle, they also held a gambling game to see who caught the most and shot accurately, and said that as long as they won the game, they could get fifty taels of silver.

Later, after Jiang Fenghao inadvertently learned about this, he generously doubled the price twenty times on the spot, and generously promised that the assassins he caught would be rewarded regardless of life or death - all the silver would be paid by him, and there would be no cap!

Of course, if you can extract useful information from the Assassins, let alone offer them a hundred taels of silver.

As soon as the dark guards heard the news, they immediately went crazy, and in order to save money to marry a daughter-in-law to support their families, they always looked forward to the assassins coming to the door as soon as possible when they had nothing to do.

A living assassin is worth ten taels of silver! Even if you accidentally kill someone, you can still get three taels with the corpse stamp! On average, each person can earn at least about fifteen taels a night - as long as you squat for a few days, you can earn back half a year's salary, who doesn't want such a good thing?

For the sake of the generous prize money and the 1,000 taels of jackpot, the Dark Guards all burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, and in addition to the Assassins, even those flies that accidentally flew over the palace were forced to go through a 'rather catch the wrong than let go' policy.

And since someone discovered that most of those spies were dead soldiers, with poisonous sacs hidden in their teeth and ready to commit suicide at any time, that group of secret guards also followed the metamorphosis - as long as they saw someone in black clothes touching in, whether it was shooting arrows or throwing darts, they all greeted people with the lower half of their faces as soon as possible.

It doesn't matter if you're here to kill, set fire, steal, or accidentally pass by, unbundle your chin first - it's worth catching alive!

The secret guards in the palace think that they are still very economically savvy.

As a result, under such a vigorous national movement, a large number of unnamed assassins and spies went like meat buns and dogs.

And the palace of Changning is still calm and peaceful.
