"It's fine." Zhu Changxun saw her firm attitude, nodded with a light smile, and put the chilled dragon fruit back into the fruit bowl.

"That'...... I'll tell the prince a story about a beautiful snake," Jiang Shu lowered his eyes slightly, and thought for a moment, "It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a monster with a human head and a snake body, with a beautiful face and a snake body, and at night, it would come out and shout the name of a person with only a beautiful face through the wall, and if he agreed, he would come and eat that person in the middle of the night......

This is a fragment of the story described in the text "From the Hundred Herb Garden to the Three Flavors Study" that she learned when she was in junior high school, and in order to make it exciting, she explained it in great detail and even added a lot of plots to it.

Zhu Changxun listened with a smile, and when she finished speaking, she couldn't help but chuckle: "That beautiful snake was subdued by a flying centipede, but it's interesting." However, this king remembers that there is a record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that it is said that the female snail who refines stones to make up the sky is the head of a snake with a human head. ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Jiang Shu couldn't help but have a trace of surprise in his eyes, "Shouldn't the prince see that it should be like the Four Books and Five Classics, the Art of War, and the Strategy?" How do you look at this? ”

Although she hadn't read the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", she probably knew that what was recorded in it were some mythological stories.

"It's just a pastime in your spare time," Zhu Changxun raised the corners of his lips and said, "By the way, where did you hear such a strange story?" ”

"Uh...... This ......" Jiang Shu was slightly stunned, and then said, "I've heard that storytellers have said it before. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Changxun's eyes narrowed, "Why has this king never heard of it?" ”

"That's right," Jiang Shu hurriedly explained, "I heard it on the way to the capital, and it's normal that the prince has lived in the capital for a long time, so he hasn't heard of it. ”

"I see," Zhu Changxun's eyes moved slightly, "Then you still know other stories, why don't you tell another paragraph to this king." ”

"Okay," Jiang Shu proposed to tell the story in addition to avoiding eating that dragon fruit in front of him, and at the same time to pass the time, naturally he would not refuse, nodded lightly, and thought for a while, "Then I'll tell the prince a story about the fox demon, called "Xiaocui". ”

This is one of Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" in the Qing Dynasty, but she didn't watch the original book, but the adapted TV series, during which the storyline twists and turns, the characters are distinct, and the plot is very colorful.

After finishing the lecture, I saw that he looked very interested, and then told him the highlights of "Painting Wall", "Jiangcheng", "Chain", "Infant Ning" and so on.

However, while talking, Yu Guang did not forget to glance at the sun in the sky outside from time to time, and deduce the time left until the noon birthday banquet according to its position.

In this way, in her silent anticipation, after a few stories, the sun finally turned due south.

She was thinking about whether to propose to Zhu Changxun to go to the front yard now, or wait until she finished telling an unfinished story at this time, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.

The two of them turned their heads to look at the same time, but saw that on a path surrounded by green bamboos a few feet away from the flower stand, Ye Chiwan, who was wearing a yellow shirt and blue skirt, was running towards this side in a hurry.

Since the distance was not too far, she soon ran under the wisteria trellis, gasped heavily, raised her head and looked at the two of them: "Fourth sister, brother-in-law of the prince, it's not too early, it's time to go to the front yard for a banquet, the troupe of Qinghuiyuan has already arrived, and they are preparing to put on makeup and start the play!" ”
