Advising the villains to be kind every day

The first time Mu Qiulan saw Xiao Jingchen's smile was not a sneer, nor was it those weird smiles that gave people a feeling of suffocation, but a relaxed one.You could tell from his smile that he was in a good mood.

Of course, even if he was in a good mood at the moment, he might turn his face the next moment, so Mu Qiulan didn't dare to relax for a moment.

"Do you have any tea here?" Xiao Jingchen looked at her and said, "I'm thirsty."

Mu Qiulan didn't have any good tea here, so she just said: "The servant girl here is full of rough tea, so I dare not give it to the prince. Please sit down for a while, the servant girl is going to make tea."

It's a bit far away from the tea room, so she had to say hello to Xiao Jingchen in advance, after all, she would definitely not be able to drink for a while.

"No need!" Xiao Jingchen said, "I just drink what you call 'coarse tea'."

Mu Qiulan: "..."

"Yes!"

She turned around and went back to the room, brought out the teapot on the table, poured out a cup and handed it to Xiao Jingchen: "My lord, please."

Xiao Jingchen took the cup of tea, and saw that the tea soup was amber in color, and he smelled the fragrance of tea, as well as a faint smell of medicine.

He frowned, put down the teacup and asked, "What kind of tea is this? Why is it cold?"

"This is a kind of tea prepared by the maidservant in hot summer to quench thirst. It is called 'Eight Treasures Herbal Tea'. It contains silver flowers, bamboo leaves, forsythia, vitex, ageratum, gardenia, rose, wolfberry, This tea does not need to be boiled, it only tastes good when it is cold."

It was only after Mu Qiulan finished speaking that she realized that it was just her private drink. Xiao Jingchen was afraid that he might not be used to drinking it, so he said, "If the prince wants something hot, the maid will cook it."

"It's not necessary!" Xiao Jingchen looked at the tea, but didn't drink it right away.It's just because someone has tried all the food and tea he eats on weekdays.

He still can't fully trust this girl.

Seeing him hesitate, Mu Qiulan understood in an instant, and said, "Wait a moment, my lord."

After finishing speaking, he entered the house, came out again, took out a silver needle from a brocade bag, tested the poison of the tea, poured himself another cup and drank it, and then said to Xiao Jingchen: "My lord, you can drink it at ease. "

Only then did Xiao Jingchen pick up the teacup and take a sip. The taste...was a bit strange, but it was indeed refreshing, with a slight aftertaste.

"Why does it still smell fruity?"

"That's Tangli!" Mu Qiulan pointed to the fruitful Tangli tree in a corner of the courtyard.

"Tangli nourishes the lungs and clears the heart, so I picked two and boiled them together, and it became more sweet."

Xiao Jingchen nodded and drank the tea soup in the cup.

"I didn't expect that there are so many good things hidden in your small courtyard."

Mu Qiulan said: "Although it is a good thing, it is also an inconspicuous thing. You can only pick such fruits to satisfy your hunger if you can't eat. Qianzhou is rich in products, and ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment, let alone in this palace. These are things that no one cares about.”

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "This king thinks that the more inconspicuous something may be, the more surprising it may be."

Mu Qiulan didn't know what his words meant, but she didn't dare to think too much at the moment.

"Okay, I still have business to deal with, so I won't stay any longer." Xiao Jingchen said and stood up.

Mu Qiulan stepped forward and wanted to go with him, after all, she was the maid in Xiao Jingchen's room, always waiting on her.

"Just rest!" Xiao Jingchen said, "You don't have to come here today."

"Yes!" Mu Qiulan felt that Xiao Jingchen was very different today, much more easy-going.

Xiao Jingchen said while walking: "After half a month, this king will come to taste the wine you brewed again."

"..."

Mu Qiulan looked blankly at his back as he disappeared outside the courtyard, feeling that the sun really came out from the west today...

On the school field, the soldiers in training were sweating profusely.July in the north is gradually getting cooler, while it is still hot in the south.

Today's weather is extremely hot, like a rainstorm is brewing.

Zhuang Wan wrapped her head with a scarf, leaving only two eyes.It was because she was fully armed like this that she was not tanned.

Every time Bai Qilang laughed at him, saying that she was like a peasant woman working in the field.

Zhuang Wan didn't bother to talk to him, her skin is very sensitive, if she gets sunburned, she will leave deep sunburn, which won't go away in a year or two.

Like Bai Qilang, his skin was originally fair, but he was tanned to a wheat color, which shows that the sun is vicious.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horns in the camp, and everyone stopped, only to see the surrounding soldiers in a hurry.

Pang Ao and Han Wei both looked solemn.

"Urgent report!" A soldier quickly ran across the school grounds, heading towards Xiao Jingchen's big tent.

"What's going on?" Chen Wujin said, "Is there going to be a war?"

"Shut your crow's mouth!" Bai Qilang glared at him.

Lai Er was so frightened that his legs were weak: "This... so fast?"

Yan Cheng secretly clenched the spear in his hand, his gaze was determined.

Finally waited until this day!

Zhuang Wan couldn't help leaning towards him, thinking that the villain would be the one to cover her from now on.

Pang Ao and Han Wei looked at each other, each ordered the soldiers under their command to return to the camp, and the other generals followed suit. The battle was imminent, and it was time to prepare...

I don't know if it was because of drinking the Eight Treasures Herbal Tea, but Xiao Jingchen felt very comfortable and took a nice nap.

The sky outside the window gradually became dark, and after a while, there was a strong wind and thunder.

He opened his eyes abruptly, the wind was blowing the gauze curtains, and it was like a mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

"My lord!" Feng Cheng's eager voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Mr. Rong is here, saying that there is an urgent military situation!"

……

Rong Li presented the letter of war together with the arrowheads that Nanyi sent people to shoot at the tower.

Xiao Jingchen looked at it and said coldly: "Three days later? This Motu really can't hold back."

Rong Li said: "Although this battle will be fought sooner or later, the newly recruited soldiers in the army have only been training for more than three months, I'm afraid..."

"My king has never counted on them." Xiao Jingchen put on his robe and said, "I called Han Wei, Pang Ao and other generals in the army to discuss matters."

"They are now waiting in the tent."

"Okay! Let's go!"

Rong Li opened the door and met Mu Qiulan outside the door holding tea.

Xiao Jingchen stared at her: "Why are you here?"

"Seeing Mr. Rong coming, the servant girl came to serve tea."

"No need!" Xiao Jingchen said something, walked a few steps and turned around to warn her: "Remember, you are not allowed to leave the house!"

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry with Rong Li.

Mu Qiulan saw that his expression was stern and his tone was as indifferent as usual, so she thought that he was really moody.

Looking at the pouring rain outside, Zhuang Wan had mixed feelings in her heart.I heard that the battalions are already dispatching troops, and soon it will be their turn for recruits. I don't know if they will be used as frontline troops or follow-up reinforcements.

The three of Chen Wujin had never seen this kind of battle before, thinking that the swords on the battlefield were ruthless, and their usual rhetoric was somewhat lacking in confidence at this time.

Only Yan Cheng, only full of excitement...
