Black Moonlight, after her robbery

The Xuanhe lively scene returned to everyone's attention again on the day of Shi's father's birthday.

Compared with the tolerant and low-key many years before, this time the bustling city seemed particularly proud. Many nobles and officials sent congratulatory gifts to each other. In addition, they congratulated Ti Zhen on her pregnancy, which made it look special for a while.

Only Zhou Yishui was still calm, as if he was still melancholy about the "resurrection from death" in the human world.However, I found nothing in the Taoist temple, and I became silent and indifferent for a while.

But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Mr. Zou has left Chang'an for almost a year. I wonder how Mr. Zou is doing lately?"

When Xianyu heard that he suddenly mentioned Zou Jiping, his palms felt cold, but Ti Zhen replied calmly, "I received a letter not long ago. Mr. Zou assisted Duke Zhending to set up sand barriers at the border to resist foreign enemies. It’s a big contribution, it’s a great achievement.”

Zhou Yishui said "Oh", "I just always feel that it is a pity to use Mr. Zou's talents at the border. I was curious why he had to go?"

Ti Zhen just smiled, "This person has his own ambitions. Don't force him. I'm afraid no one knows it better than him."

He concentrated for a moment, and infinite pain flashed through his deep eyes, "That's right, there is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever."

A breeze blows in suddenly, bringing with it the scent of vibrant flowers and leaves at noon in spring.Father Shi helped the maid Ling Yi come in, looked at Zhou Yishui's hesitant expression, and said slowly: "You guys had fun chatting, but I made you feel restrained when I came."

Xianyu shook his head sideways and stepped forward to hold hands, "How could it be? I wish you could come over. You are our birthday boy and we are waiting for you to come and hold a banquet for us!"

Father Shi smiled, pointed at the table and said, "As a family, we just want to eat whatever we want. We've been waiting for a long time, so let's sit down quickly."

After saying that, he walked into the flower hall. The banquet was served in a while. Wenxiu added rice, Lingyi prepared dishes, and Wen Yuan spooned soup. They started chatting warmly during the dinner. After Shifu looked at them one by one, he suddenly frowned. .

Asked: "Why don't we see the second girl?"

It was Yuhuan who answered first, "Second sister just said that she wanted to go out for a while. I'm afraid she should be back now."

When Wen Yu saw this, he asked, "How about I ask someone to go out and look for it?"

The Chunxiang Tuanfu Brocade Curtain hung tightly, and suddenly someone lifted half of it, and Yuyao's voice from outside flowed in along with the cold wind, "No need to look for it, I'm coming right now!"

However, another footsteps followed. Ti Zhen was sitting upright and looked up to see a man in a gray-blue wide-sleeved shirt following behind Yu Yao.

The sun was warm, and the light on his cheeks was very delicate. Although his facial features were not as handsome and outstanding as Wen Yu's, they could still be seen as somewhat delicate, and his only pair of three white eyes looked very shrewd.

Unexpectedly, before Father Shi could open his mouth, the man walked straight towards Wen Yu and knelt down, "Common people, please send your regards to your highness, may your highness be blessed!"

Yuyao unconsciously lowered his head and coughed vaguely.

The man quickly raised his smile and looked at Father Shi, "I heard that my uncle is celebrating his birthday today, so I brought him a special gift."

He pointed at the gift box in his hand, "This is the ginseng from Canghai County. It is worth thousands of gold. I specially asked someone to bring it from other places. Please accept it."

Shi Shen was slightly disdainful, "I didn't know you were..."

He showed a faint smile, straightened his clothes with his hands, and said with a bow: "My surname is Jiang, I am a literary talent. I came here with the second girl specially to pay homage to the old man."

Father Shi was slightly startled, as if by surprise, "Really, Yuyao?"

Yuyao's eyebrows were calm, as if he was taking it in peace, "During the Lantern Festival last time, Mr. Jiang helped me once. As I told you last time, he was the one who pulled me up from the river."

She pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle, I thought about what you said about repaying kindness, so I wanted to take advantage of your happiness and invite him to come over for a meal."

Father Shi concentrated for a moment and then nodded, "Even so, let's take a seat." He waved to Cao Xiu and said, "Ask someone to prepare another chair."

Cao Xiu agreed, ordered him to go down, and then turned back to Father Shi to move a seat.

However, the boy outside the door pulled up a chair, and Jiang Wencai pulled the chair to Wen Yu's side and sat down, "I have always admired His Highness King Qin's talent and learning. I wonder when I can ask His Highness for advice?"

Everyone jumped slightly and couldn't help but stare.

Seeing Jiang Wencai acting like this, Yu Huan couldn't help but sneered and just watched from the sidelines.

Wen Yu didn't look at him, but smiled as easy-going as usual: "There is a golden room in the book. There is no talent. It's just a matter of learning more and reading more."

Jiang Wencai said, "Your Highness is right. When he was still Prince Duanhui, he was famous for his recitation of poems. How could ordinary people not listen to Prince Duanhui's teachings?"

When he said this, everyone's eyes popped out.Everyone knows that since Wen Yu returned to the Wei Dynasty, the most taboo thing was his identity as "Prince Duanhui". Now that it has been brought up again, who knows if it is spread out and people will not speculate.

Wen Yu's brows moved slightly, "You can't chase the past, and how can you mention the past again."

He added a chopstick of lily slices and placed them in Ti Zhen's bowl. He smiled and said, "This is the lily newly picked from Longshan. It is the most delicious." Jiang Wencai glanced at the woman beside him and realized instantly: "I forgot all about it. Congratulations to the princess on her pregnancy. I heard from my mother that in the early stages of pregnancy, the most important thing is to replenish blood and nourish qi. Why don’t I buy two chickens to replenish the princess tomorrow.”

Ti Zhen waved his hand and said tiredly: "No need, I can eat whatever I like. My mother-in-law and His Highness will not treat me badly. Thank you Mr. Jiang for your kindness."

Jiang Wencai raised his eyebrows, "It's just that this bland food has no nutrition at all. Only chicken, duck and goose meat can make the child strong. Princess, it doesn't matter you, the child is the most important."

Xianyu chuckled, narrowed his eyes lazily, and said disgustedly: "No wonder Mr. Jiang is a scholar, he knows so much, he talks as if he had lived with him before, and he talks so lightly that no one is important."

Jiang Wencai was still complacent, "I am also thinking about His Highness's children."

Ti Zhen and Wen Yu both had slightly shocked expressions on their faces. Even though they were honest and well-mannered, their faces couldn't help but fall down after hearing such imprudent words.

After a long time, Wen Yu looked at him and said, "Master Jiang is interested. I don't want you to take care of your studies and be a hero to save the beauty. It's really rare that you still have time to care about your wife's unborn child."

He showed a slight smile and said softly: "I heard that Mr. Jiang was born in a family of wine sellers. When I saw him today, I felt as if he was drunk. He speaks well and is as good as his family."

Jiang Wencai continued proudly: "My parents said that as a businessman, you should also improve yourself, so I have been studying and have never lost the face of my family."

Wen Yu smiled slightly, "That's good." Then he turned around and told Guan Tong, "Go get a plate of walnuts and give Mr. Jiang a good tonic."

Jiang Wencai was stunned for a moment, but he took it very proudly, "Your Highness has rewarded it, and the common people must go back and taste it. The walnuts look so valuable and delicious, so they must eat more to nourish themselves!"

Ti Zhen and Xian Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, and everyone at the table unconsciously covered their mouths and snickered.

It is really ridiculous that there are such stupid people in the world, and they are called "literary talents"!He didn't even hear others scolding him for his lack of brains.

Jiang Wencai saw that they were laughing so uncontrollably, and he wanted to get over it for a moment, but Yuyao just couldn't stand it any longer, so he interrupted him, "Eat quickly, we'll be watching a show and drinking tea later!"

For Shi's father's birthday, Changyin Pavilion's play has been prepared for a long time.Seeing that Yuyao was about to drag Jiang Wencai over after the meal, Ti Zhen asked Wenxiu to stop the two of them, but in the end only Yuyao came.

The room was very quiet. Facing Ti Zhen alone, Yu Yao was still a little afraid. "He said he would go change first and come back later."

Ti Zhen sat in the hall, holding the silver silk pearl phoenix hairpin on his temples, "Really? Did he go to change clothes? Or did he go to Changyin Pavilion to play in the autumn breeze in front of His Highness?"

Although her voice was soft, each word was as clear as the marks on the snow.

"Just now, the third child told me everything about Jiang Wencai. If it was just for the sake of the guests that we stood still, then let me tell you now that there is no possibility between you and him, so we should break it off as soon as possible!"

Yuyao's voice was clear and clear, like ice touching each other, "Why?"

"Why? Are you pretending to be stupid or are you really ignorant? Look what he did when he entered the house just now. He went straight to His Highness and blurted out that he was planning to get married. Do you know how long he has been preparing for this moment?"

Ti Zhen's deep eyes wanted to see into her endless heart.

"As for you, instead of asking me why here, you might as well think about whether he had any premeditation when he approached you."

When Yuyao heard this, he nearly knocked over the tea cup in his hand, "Sister, he is not such a person. I understand him. He just wants to succeed and change everything too much. If Chunwei had not been postponed, he would not be like this."

Ti Zhen breathed out softly, "You also know that Chunwei has only been postponed, not cancelled? Since it is postponed, why can't he wait? Do all students in the world give up the exam because of the postponement?"

Her voice was clear and distinct, and there was no room for Yuyao to dodge, "You'd better know clearly what he is after and why, and stop being obsessed with it. If you want a good son-in-law, no matter how you pick him, he will always be an innocent son of a noble family. Where can you find it?" Isn’t it better than a Jiang Wencai?”

Yuyao seemed dissatisfied, "But why can others do it, but Jiang Wencai can't?"

Ti Zhen was very decisive, "There's no reason why, because of his background, character, and actions, it just can't be done!"

Yu Yao's expression was as cold as a frozen lake, and his voice was as low as a breath, one wave after another.

"Eldest sister... I have always regarded you as my sister. Although we did not grow up together and you are not friendly, I always thought you were just like this in character. After all, you fell in love so passionately just to be with His Highness. , so unscrupulous that he even left home to vent his anger on his uncle."

She looked up at her, "But now, why do you still control me when you get what you want? Can't I be as free as you?"

She was still trembling when she spoke, "The people you picked for me are all very good. Everyone is either powerful or rich. I always thought you were really good to me, but now I really find someone who is good to me. But you all look down upon it.”

She straightened up slumped and asked coldly: "Do you really love me, or am I just a tool for your marriage?"

Sorry, it's even later.

I’m so sleepy, it’ll be dark after a nap…
