Tang Chen said she had considered this question earlier, and had discussed it with Wang Nianqing, who had readily agreed. However, the finishing touch now lay in Yan Shaoqing's hands: "He said he asked Shaoqing to help him with the painting, and it's not finished yet. Bring it to me when it's done."
Qinghe hooked his finger to signal Tang Chen to come closer, and whispered: "...When the time comes, can I take a look? Just one look, and don't tell him."
"......" Jiang Wanying was stunned. The eldest princess who had just been educating them seriously and had already found a good husband, now seemed to be "going along with them".
Tang Chen was also a little surprised and asked back: "You, you have known him for so long, but you don't know what he looks like?"
Qinghe shook his head, sighed softly, and said, "I don't know. I guess Wang Yanzhou and Shen Xin are the only ones who know."
Regardless of gender, humans are often vulnerable to the secrets that lie before their eyes. Tang Chen finds himself in this exact state. The answer to the mystery lies within reach, yet he cannot pursue it. He can only wait for the owner of the mystery to slowly unravel it. The itching in his heart is unbearable, a mixture of nervousness and excitement. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's hidden so deeply. I'm growing more and more curious. What should I do?"
Qinghe said that although she was very excited at the moment, she had to "hold on, she had to hold on, she couldn't be rude in front of others and lose face."
Even though he said that, Tang Chen couldn't help but stamp his feet excitedly: "That's right, ahhh, but what should I do with the excitement I can't control!"
Jiang Wanying glanced outside and suggested, "If you're really too excited to control yourself, get ready and go to the front hall to have a meal and calm down."
Tang Chen said: "It should be still early now, and Yan Zhou hasn't come back yet, let's wait a little longer."
Qinghe motioned Tang Chen to turn around and look at the door, then added, "I don't think it's necessary. Didn't you see Wang Qin has been waiting outside for a long time? Look at you two, you're talking so excitedly that no one dares to come in."
Tang Chen's movements suddenly paused. When she slowly turned her gaze towards the door, she saw the sweat on Wang Qin's forehead and her ears suddenly turned red: "...Damn, this is really embarrassing."
Qinghe coughed twice, then acted as if nothing had happened and Wang Qin hadn't seen or heard anything. He said calmly, "Ahem, Steward Wang, are the prince and the others back?"
Wang Qin stood at the door, bowed slightly, and replied, "Yes, the prince and the gentlemen have arrived and are preparing to serve the dishes. Let me invite Miss Jiang, Master Zhang, and his wife to come over."
Tang Chen reminded: "Where is Feng Lai? Have you sent someone to invite her?"
Wang Qin replied, "I sent someone to invite her at noon, but Princess Fenglai said she would be concentrating on revising her zither music for the next few days, so she won't be dining with everyone."
Tang Chen nodded slightly and said, "It's not easy to find something she likes to do, so don't force her. Ask the kitchen to make some sweet and soft snacks and send them over. I remember she likes that type of pastries."
"yes."
Seeing that Wang Qin didn't seem to be leaving yet, Qinghe probably wanted to see if there was anything else they wanted to tell him, so she added, "Then Manager Wang, please go ahead and do your work. We'll clean up for the children and then go over. Let them serve the food. Don't wait, we'll be quick."
Naturally, tonight's banquet wasn't as crowded as the previous family feast, where nearly all the Kirin Guards who could have attended were present. While the crowd was smaller, the atmosphere was still lively. Led by the two chattering children, the atmosphere was lively, sometimes even a bit too lively. This was especially true when the wet nurse and Tang Chen chased Shuang'er to feed her. If Qiuliang hadn't been there, feeding her today would have been much more difficult.
It was strange. Both the wet nurse and Madam Liang had said that children were most difficult to raise after the age of three. Before that, they were generally tolerant of whatever you offered them. But Shuang'er didn't seem to play by the rules. She was only two years old, barely able to run, and already she was impossible to catch. Tang Chen and the others had a feeling that, judging by her cheerful demeanor, this little girl might go on to achieve great things.
After dinner, those who needed to rest, like the two children, did so, while those who needed to get back to work, like Yan Shaoqing and his ilk, rushed back to the barracks overnight. Tang Chen, on the other hand, strolled leisurely through the garden with Lin Feng, chatting as they digested their food. After all, it had been so long since they'd seen each other, and he still had so much to say and so many questions to ask.
Perhaps it was because he was in a new environment, but Lin Feng seemed a little too quiet. If Tang Chen hadn't taken the initiative to talk along the way, they would have wasted this beautiful moonlight. "I saw you were silent just now. Did the food today not suit your taste, or were you just thinking about life?"
Lin Feng smiled slightly and said, "You still love to joke around like before."
Tang Chen continued, "Then I'm going to ask you a very serious question. I heard that you set my yard on fire. Is that true?"
Lin Feng seemed to have known she would ask this question long ago, and had already thought of a response. He replied fluently without blushing or beating his heart: "You don't live there anymore anyway, so staying there would just take up space. I was also concerned about the safety of the residents around here. After all, you haven't been living there for a long time. If some thieves hid there one day, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
Only a fool would believe Lin Feng's words. Wang Yanzhou, who had been following them silently, said that he burned it in anger because he was thinking about parting ways with Tang Chen in the future. This person is real, and he doesn't say a single honest word. Fortunately, Tang Chen chose him at the time, otherwise he doesn't know if he would have been deceived forever.
This answer not only failed to convince Wang Yanzhou, who already had a lot of ideas, but also failed to convince Tang Chen: "Tsk tsk tsk, I picked all those flowers and plants in there one by one, and I carried the mud all the way from the mountain. You really have the heart to do that. Forget it, just convert it into cash and give it to me."
Lin Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "I wonder how much the princess wants?"
"Well, I'll tell you when I figure it out," after saying that, perhaps because Wang Yanzhou had been following them closely, the two of them became silent again and could not find a topic to talk about for a while.
