182 Goofy(1/2)
Mrs. Wen said with a smile: "Back to the queen, Tangchi was from the city when Lou'er was the county magistrate. Lou'er got to know her because he bought her food. Tangchi's food is delicious, and Lou'er often brings it back."
"They say the vegetables she grows are delicious, are they really that delicious?" the queen asked curiously.
Queen Wang is a dignified and virtuous person, and she is a good queen.
At least, that's what Tangchi thinks.
Emperor Ji Wen nodded and said, "I only ate once at General Wen's house, and I haven't seen him since."
Tang Chi said: "Back to the Emperor and Queen, after coming to the capital, everything has started anew for the common people, and the vegetables have just been planted."
"Fortunately, there is a vegetable plot in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. The Seventh Prince will be blessed in the future. The Emperor is really kind to the Seventh Prince." Queen Wang said with a smile.
Ji Yin just sat and drank tea.
Tang Chi could tell that Empress Wang was somewhat flattering to Ji Yin, but Ji Yin just didn't buy it.
"Tangchi, you have to take good care of Lao Qi. If a vegetable garden is not enough, I will reward you with another piece of land."
Tangchi was happy when he heard that he wanted another piece of land. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then, she felt a cannibalistic look coming from her left. Tangchi took advantage of kneeling down to thank him and took a sneak peek.
What comes into view is the dark red hem of clothes.
It's Ji Yin.
Tangchi reacted immediately. She was finished! She was betrayed! A smart person like Ji Yin could react immediately. The emperor's words showed that he had never given her a piece of land or a shop!
The joy of getting a piece of land was instantly wiped out. Tangchi was trembling with fear.
She must be finished...
"Okay, let's go down. Remember my words and take good care of Lao Qi. I will reward you greatly." The emperor said.
Tang Chi nodded and withdrew fearfully.
After Tangchi returned, Xiwen, who was resting on the bed, noticed that she had a solemn look on her face, so he asked: "Girl? What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Tangchi shook his head and said, "Are you feeling better? Have a good rest."
Then she moved a chair and sat in the hall, feeling mixed.
Should I take the initiative to plead guilty or wait for Ji Yin to ask questions?
Sitting was too uncomfortable, so Tangchi simply stood up and wandered around the palace, letting the wind calm her down.
In fact, she also sympathizes with Ji Yin. Someone will frame her for holding a banquet, and it may be her brother. It is really not easy to live in such an environment.
Tangchi sighed, found a stone in the garden and sat down.
"What's wrong? Are you still sighing after receiving a reward?" Suddenly, a soft voice came from behind.
Tang Chi turned around and saw Wen Lou, dressed in green clothes, standing behind her against the moonlight.
"Sir." Tangchi shouted in surprise.
"Why are you here alone?" Wen Lou asked with a smile.
Tangchi stood up and said, "I go out for a walk when I have nothing to do. I feel a little homesick."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered and said: "I haven't congratulated you on becoming an official yet!"
The Minister of Dali Temple is a big position.
Wen Lou smiled, which was more dazzling than the moonlight. "If possible, I would still like to be a county magistrate."
Tangchi didn't understand. She was nostalgic there because of the stove, Widow Zhang, and the owner of Zhenxilou Branch. But Wenlou, whose family was in the capital, was a noble son, so how could he like that kind of remote place?
Seeing that Tangchi didn't seem to understand, Wenlou didn't explain, but just smiled.
The two stood together, speechless for a while.
Tangchi picked up the topic. "By the way, sir, I never thought that your father was actually a general."
No matter how you look at Wen Lou, he doesn't look like he was born as a general.
"Ha...yeah, you don't think I look like me." Wen Lou said.
Tang Chi recalled that when he glanced by chance, he seemed to have seen the general, and the expression on his face was not very happy, so he thought about it and asked again: "Does General Wen agree with you becoming a civil servant?"
Wen Lou smiled and said somewhat casually: "I agree even if I don't agree."
Although Wen Lou said it was casual, Tang Chi knew that this process would not be casual.
"I have already found someone to work on your two pieces of land. The person in charge is a very reliable person. I will bring someone to show you next time."
Tangchi felt melancholy in his heart when he mentioned the ground.
However, she was still very grateful for Wen Lou's help. "Thank you, sir."
"How are you... living in Prince Yin's Mansion?" Wen Lou asked.
Tangchi shook his head. In the capital, Wen Lou was the most friendly person besides Xi Wen. And if the issue of homesickness came up, Wen Lou was even more friendly to her than Xi Wen.
"I miss home, I want to go back." Tangchi said melancholy.
I don’t know if the heater has gained weight or lost weight.
I wonder if it will feel lost if it squats in the yard every day and waits but never gets her back.
But fortunately, rabbits probably don’t know what it feels like to be lost.
I don't know how long it takes to take care of Ji Yin, and maybe if I accidentally make him angry, it will be over.
Wen Lou reached out and patted her shoulder to comfort her: "You will go back."
His movements were not abrupt at all, but made Tangchi feel at ease.
"Is it really possible?" Tang Chi has always believed in Wen Lou in his heart.
Wen Lou looked at her and nodded. "Trust me."
"Um!"
Tang Chi seldom looked at Wen Lou because she always felt that Wen Lou's eyes with a faint smile could see everything in her heart clearly and would make her uneasy. However, at this time, she felt very at ease.
The wind has become lighter and the moonlight has become softer.
Tangchi lowered his head, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit indescribable.
Wen Lou looked at Tangchi who lowered his head, smiled and said: "It's getting late, the banquet should be over, and I should go back."
Tangchi raised his head and looked at Wenlou.
Wen Lou seemed to understand what she was thinking, nodded and said: "Yes, I ran out in the middle."
"Then please go back quickly, sir." Tangchi said.
"The weather is getting colder. You should go back. Don't get cold from the wind here."
"Well, then, goodbye, sir."
Tangchi and Wenlou left in two directions.
When Tangchi returned, Xiwen had already fallen asleep. She took the medicine bowl down and tidied the room, but she still felt soft in her heart.
About half an hour later, Tangchi tidied up and prepared to wash up and go to bed. She had been so busy in the past few days that she had not had a good night's sleep, but someone suddenly came.
"Sister Hongtan." Tangchi greeted with a smile.
Hong Tan looked at the freshly poured water in the soup pool and said, "Is the girl going to sleep?"
Tangchi yawned, nodded and said, "I'm a little tired these two days, so I want to go to bed early. What does Sister Hongtan want from me?"
"Girl, thank you for your hard work, but the prince has invited a girl." Hongtan smiled gently.
Tangchi suddenly lost all sleepiness.
There was no way to hide, so Tangchi had no choice but to say: "Sister, wait a moment, I'll follow you right away."
Tangchi packed himself up, took a look at the sleeping drama, and then left with Hongtan.
On the way, Tangchi, who was worried, couldn't help but ask Hongtan: "Sister Hongtan, do you know why the prince is looking for me?"
Hong Tan shook his head and said, "The prince didn't say anything. But it should be related to that matter."
Tang Chi nodded, hoping that it was really just related to that incident.
Tangchi was brought into the room.
Ji Yin seemed a little tired after a day of socializing. He leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed, and the maid helped him rub his head.
"Your Majesty, the girl is here." Hongtan said softly, fearing to disturb him.
Ji Yin nodded.
After a while, he waved his hand and the maid stopped.
He still leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes closed and said, "Let's all go down first."
"Yes." A group of maids left politely.
Only Ji Yin and Tang Chi were left in the room, and Tang Chi felt uneasy.
