He raised his hands and wrapped his arms around Chu Hantang's neck, and the water droplets flowed down the skin of his arms.

The long black hair is still dripping, but the skin is abnormally white, and the whole person is like an ink painting that intersects black and white, and the ink painting occasionally reveals a touch of flush.

The liquid that had not had time to swallow slid down the corners of their lips, ambiguous.

The insects in the courtyard were singing, and it was another early morning, and there were still two days before the birthday of the third prince.

Chu Hantang has bought all the popular words in the capital in the past few days, and he even stayed up late when he saw the rise from day to night, causing him to get up the next day with the familiar panda eyes.

She doesn't have to practice disguise techniques, and she has more leisure time than Chi Yaoyao and others.

Occasionally, he will quarrel with Liu Zhipei.

Although he may still have a lot of affection for Chu Hantang and Xie Yihuai, it is impossible for Liu Zhipei to stay away from her because of this matter.

Liu Zhipei sometimes flipped through the book that Chu Hantang bought.

He looked at the thick stack of scripts, undisguised disgust, what is this?

"One Hundred Ways for Domineering Ladies to Force Pretty Scholars", "Two or Three Things About Fox Spirits and Righteous Taoists", "The Belly Black Demon Zun Falls in Love with Me", "The Secret of the Three Thousand Beautiful Men in the Harem", etc.

Now this kind of script is popular in the capital?

Just hearing the name, I feel a wave of absurdity, and I don't know how the people who bought these books read it.

Audience is male or female? How do you feel it's a little girl's book.

It's really bad fun, Liu Zhipei thought.

Chu Hantang snatched back his script from Liu Zhipei's hand, it was very precious, it was not easy to find this level in ancient times, although the plot in this is indeed old-fashioned enough.

Liu Zhipei didn't look at it, "Young Master Chu, you actually like this kind of thing?" ”

She hid all the scripts, "It's so boring, I have to watch something to pass the time." ”

He suggested, "Read the Four Books and the Five Classics? ”

Chu Hantang looked at him with a smile, "I don't want to sleep during the day." ”

Liu Zhipei was a little slow to react in this regard, and said very strangely: "I let you read the Four Books and Five Classics, but I didn't let you sleep." ”

Chi Yaoyao, who was practicing the disguise technique on the side, smiled, "Hantang is saying that she will doze off when she reads the Four Books and Five Classics." ”

Liu Zhipei reacted at this time, but he didn't bother to care about Chu Hantang, he just watched whatever he liked, anyway, he couldn't break her back from the crooked path.

He turned his head and asked Chi Yaoyao how he had learned the disguise technique, and he went over to observe it, but he didn't know whether to observe the disguise technique or the beauty who was practicing the disguise technique.

Chu Hantang wanted to go out for a stroll, and he didn't want to be bored in the yard all day.

But today there seems to be no trace of Xie Yihuai, and when I asked others, they also said they didn't know.

Only Bai Yuan said that he went out in the morning when he saw him, and the baggage and other things were still there, so he should just go out to deal with his own affairs.

Chu Hantang was not worried about Xie Yihuai's safety, and few people could hurt him.

She stayed in the yard for a while, but she couldn't stay any longer, so she told Chi Yaoyao that she was going to buy some things on the street, and she could also buy the vegetables she wanted to eat at night by the way.

When Chi Yaoyao heard this, she stopped what she was doing, "You went out alone?" ”

Yanagi Pei also looked up.

He thought about it, made a choice between a beauty and a brother, and temporarily chose a good brother, "Do you want me to go with you?" ”

Chu Hantang shrugged his shoulders, "I'll just go alone, anyway, there is no me on the wanted notice." ”

Chi Yaoyao bowed her head, she had been together for so long, and she knew that the other party was a character who liked to be lively and couldn't sit still, she continued to practice the disguise technique, and said, "Okay, Hantang, you remember to come back earlier,"

Liu Zhipei also unceremoniously said what dishes he wanted to eat tonight, and asked Chu Hantang to buy it back as much as possible.

"I want to eat jealous fish, see if there is any fresh fish, buy one back."

She ignored him.

Chu Hantang went back to the room to get the money bag and went out, the capital was lively and noisy day and night, except that from time to time there would be soldiers searching on the street.

It was still early, Chu Hantang planned to go shopping until the afternoon and then go back, but he was thirsty halfway and went into a teahouse to listen to the story.

On the high platform, a middle-aged man with a long beard stood up and spoke with ups and downs.

The middle-aged man said in a passionate voice: "The emperor of the previous dynasty was addicted to witchcraft, and once summoned people from all over the world who knew witchcraft to enter the palace, and changed his life for himself against the sky, in a vain attempt to live forever. ”

At the mention of witchcraft, the people in the audience became interested and waited for the following.

"It is rumored that the most proficient witch in the world is the witch, so in the previous dynasty, batch after batch of witch maidens were sent to the palace to perform sacrifices for the emperor of the previous dynasty."

Someone asked, "How come we have never seen witchcraft before or not?" ”

The middle-aged man stroked his beard and smiled, disapproving, "It's hard to tell whether it's true or false." ”

As soon as the conversation changed, he sighed.

"But it didn't take long for the former dynasty to be destroyed, and witchcraft was regarded as ominous."

The middle-aged man expressed his opinion, "The emperor who is addicted to witchcraft is destined not to go far, leading to the decline of the country." ”

At this time, a pretty girl in the teahouse smiled and said lightly, "Oh? Yes, the reason why the previous dynasty perished was because the emperor of the previous dynasty was ignorant, wouldn't it be better if he used witchcraft to strengthen the country? ”

Chu Hantang looked over.

The girl sneered, and spoke with a high-minded, contemptuous arrogance, "He is doomed to fail in his pursuit of immortality and ethereal things with witchcraft. ”

As if sensing that someone was watching her, she keenly turned her head to look to the side.

Chu Hantang looked at the girl.

The girl looked at the handsome young man casually, and her fingers tapped on the table as if they were nothing.

Eyes meet in the air.

Chu Hantang's expression was natural, the girl turned her head back, listened for a while, seemed to be extremely bored, and got up and left the teahouse.

And after Chu Hantang rested enough, he also left the teahouse and went to the market to buy vegetables.

She bought each of the dishes they liked to eat.

Including the fish that Liu Zhipei said, but when it was his turn to buy the dishes that Xie Yihuai liked to eat, Chu Hantang was a little entangled, and he didn't seem to like eating dishes very much.

In distress, she remembered a dish.

Chu Hantang bought a lotus root and went back, and he could personally cook for Xie Yihuai to make lotus root slices tonight.

Today is Chi Yaoyao's birthday, coinciding with the Mask Festival in the capital, in the original book, they do not know how to disguise, and will wear masks to the market at night, and then write a wishing ribbon under the Bodhi tree.

Bai Yuan's wishing belt is about Chi Yaoyao.

Chi Yaoyao's wishing belt is about him.

Chu Hantang's wishing belt is also about Chi Yaoyao, she still needs to go to the plot point of the original owner tonight, and write those words on the wishing belt word for word.

Originally, Chi Yaoyao didn't plan to celebrate this birthday, after all, she hadn't solved the matter of the small box yet.

But Bai Yuan persuaded her, saying that if the plan to find the third prince failed this time, then they would most likely die here.

In that case, why didn't he take his birthday seriously before he started to act, he learned to joke for the first time, saying that he might still have a good memory before he died.

Chu Hantang, who had read the original book, naturally knew that they would be fine, but they didn't know.

Compared to the previous plot points, this time the plot points seem to be easy.

After all, he just secretly wrote a wishing belt with feelings for Chi Yaoyao, neither to let her steal Chi Yaoyao's kiss, nor to let her steal things that belonged to Chi Yaoyao and hide them.

However, Chu Hantang still has worries.

What if Xie Yihuai saw it?

It is said that it is written quietly, but in case, the development of some things is uncontrolled, and for the sake of prudence, it is better to avoid him and write it again.

She thought about it while cutting the lotus root slices.

Chi Yaoyao also wanted to help cook today's dinner in the kitchen, but was kicked out by Su Xin, saying that today was her birthday, how could they let her cook on this day.

In the face of Su Xin's insistence, Chi Yaoyao couldn't cry or laugh, it was just a birthday.

Naturally, after the Chi family was destroyed, she didn't plan to live anymore, if Bai Yuan hadn't persuaded her, Chi Yaoyao would have been ready to live silently.

However, seeing that they were also kind, Chi Yaoyao did not refuse.

In the kitchen, Chu Hantang put the lotus root slices into the steamer to steam, thought for a few seconds, avoided the others, and then went out, turned a corner and sneaked into Chi Yaoyao's room.

I didn't see Chi Yaoyao wearing that pair of ruby silver earrings today, they should have been placed in the room.

Although it is not good to take it back secretly, but other than that, Chu Hantang can't think of a better way for the time being.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw ruby silver earrings on the dressing table.

Chu Hantang picked it up and put it in his sleeve, and then quickly left Chi Yaoyao's room, the whole process was very smooth, and no one noticed.

She touched the pair of jeweled silver earrings and thought to herself, finally back.

I can't help but walk a lot lighter.

Chu Hantang returned to the kitchen and opened the steamer, the mist lingered, and a plate of lotus root slices was crystal clear, and the sweet fragrance was overflowing.

Liu Zhipei has been watching the fire at the stove.

He doesn't like to eat light lotus root slices very much, and looks forward to vinegar fish more, but Liu Zhipei is not an eyeless person, and he has also noticed that Xie Yihuai will often hold lotus root slices at the dinner table.

This dish of lotus root is probably made for him.

Liu Zhipei quietly walked to Chu Hantang's side, lowered his voice and teased: "You really care about Gongzi Xie, this dish of lotus root is specially made for him, it's really eccentric." ”

Chu Hantang unveiled another steamer, revealing the vinegar fish inside.

She raised her eyebrows, "I also made the vinegar fish you said, the Dongpo meat that Sister Chi likes to eat, don't think about everything in that direction." ”

Liu Zhipei has nothing to say.

Su Xin walked over, "What are you muttering, Liu Gongzi, aren't you looking at the fire, the fire is about to burn out." ”

These days, they get along with each other, shorten the distance, and speak more naturally.

Liu Zhipei saw that the fire on the stove was really going out, so he hurriedly went back to save it, Chu Hantang laughed at him for what he was doing, and just as he was talking and laughing, he saw Xie Yihuai passing by outside the kitchen.

She put the steamer lid back on, went out of the kitchen again, and walked straight towards him.

Xie Yihuai stopped when he saw Chu Hantang.
