Xiapi captured Lu Bu in the first battle, and the world was shaken.

Yuan Shu panicked when he heard the news, he had no choice but to avoid his edge and restrain himself a lot when he proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun.

Hearing that the scouts reported Yuan Shu's recent movements, Cao Cao raised his brows lightly, casually sheathed the Yitian Sword he had wiped in his hand, and softly uttered two words: "Ants."

A Sheng has always been used to his contempt for Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, so he took a sip of the anti-pregnancy decoction, wiped his lips and said, "Then when do you plan to take care of Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses?"

He curled his lips casually: "For the time being, let him live for another two days."

A few days later, Cao Cao hosted a banquet in the mansion for his cronies, generals, counselors and others to celebrate his victory in destroying Lu Bu.

He only allowed Ding Xi and A Sheng to sit beside him as his female relatives, and then began to greet everyone.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone was already half drunk, Cao Hong and several other young generals began clamoring to use their fists to guess the number.

Guo Jia has always been very good at this kind of jokes, playing tricks on those honest generals, Cao Ren even blushed and refused to admit defeat, insisting on pulling him to start the game again to save face.

There was a commotion all around, Ding Xi and A Sheng were left alone.The atmosphere was a little awkward, Ah Sheng didn't want to raise his head to talk to her, he just pretended not to know her, and started to crazily pick up vegetables with a sullen head, pretending to concentrate on eating.

She didn't speak to try to avoid disputes, but the other party took the initiative to provoke her.

"Sikong seems to like you very much." Ding Xi deliberately emphasized "like" very strongly, as if to insinuate that A Sheng is just a favored concubine.

A Sheng kept his expression on his face, although it was extremely uncomfortable to hear it, he still didn't want to show his dissatisfaction on his face.

She pretended to be careless and picked up a piece of fresh fish meat and put it into her mouth, her tone was unhurried: "Yes, but it's a pity that this kind of liking may not be possessed by someone."

Ding Xi frowned, pretending that he didn't hear A Sheng's intentional retaliation, and looked at the latter's pregnant belly: "It's a pity, no matter how favored my mother is, the child in this belly is still a bastard after all. You will always have to bow down and obey others' orders."

"But I think, instead of pitying the fate of other people's bastards, it's better to think about how to have a child of your own." A Sheng raised her eyebrows. With Xie's choked expression, he couldn't help but feel refreshed secretly.

"You—" Ding Xi saw that a slap was about to slap her in the face, and a cool wind blew up in his ears.

At the moment when the slap was about to come, she quickly grabbed the wrist that was about to hit, and couldn't help but increase the strength, showing a harmless smile.

"Madam, your noble body, it seems not good to be so disrespectful in front of everyone."

"What are you doing?" Cao Cao's deep voice suddenly came from next to his ear.

A Sheng couldn't help turning his head to look at him, seeing that he was slightly drunk, but the look in his eyes was still bright and exciting.

"The concubine just ordered Bian Sheng to pour a bottle of wine, but she refused, so I just taught her a lesson." Ding Xi actually beat him back.

She was obviously angry at herself and got angry, that's why she hit herself. Why did she turn black and white into something that she didn't give to her?

Pour wine?

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, his tone slightly sullen: "Lesson? What qualifications do you have to teach her?"

"Since ancient times, concubines have been subordinate to wives, and I am Sikong's main wife, why can't I admonish my concubines?" Ding Xi deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the audience could hear him clearly.

Cao Ren, Xiahou Dun and the others were about to look at him one after another, but after all, because of etiquette, they didn't dare to meddle in Sikong's family affairs, so they could only suppress their curiosity and couldn't watch.

Hongxue on the side almost opened her mouth to shout at Ding Xi, but A Sheng tugged at her sleeve to signal her not to speak, then tried her best to smile and stood up: "Madam Ding is right, so the concubine will obey Madam Command, pour you a glass of wine."

She took the jug and poured the wine gently into a small jade bottle. The translucent red grape juice poured out slowly, shining translucently under the flickering candlelight.

A Sheng picked up the wine glass, making himself look obedient and respectful, and quietly held it in front of Ding Xi.

Ding Xi stared at her with complicated eyes, but said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just when she was about to reach out to take the glass of wine, Ah Sheng let go of her hand without warning, not wanting Ding Xi to deliberately let go of the hand that touched the wall of the glass, the smooth jade glass slipped down along her fingers, and exploded on the ground There was a crisp sound of "pop", beating the heart unexpectedly.

Ah Sheng didn't expect her to do such a move at all, and was immediately startled by the sudden explosion, his body, which was already unstable, couldn't help shaking, but luckily he held the table behind him in time so that he wouldn't fall. fall.

The red liquid dripped out and spread on the ground.

Seeing this, A Sheng couldn't help but cast a glance at her.Seeing that her complexion was unkind, she didn't show any uneasiness at all, and the corner of her mouth slightly pulled into a faint smile.

"What a pity, such a good wine." A Sheng shook his head and sighed in his heart.

No one around dared to speak, and they could only quietly watch how she would deal with the situation next.

Ding Xi nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, what a pity. I still need to trouble my sister—"

As he spoke, he lightly parted his rouged lips and raised his eyebrows: "Clean it up for me."

This is obviously making things difficult for her!

Hongxue finally couldn't stand up anymore, and immediately, regardless of her status, she took a step forward, filled with righteous indignation, and defended A Sheng: "My wife is pregnant, why are you making things difficult for her on purpose?"

"What's wrong with being pregnant? What kind of wife is she? It's not natural for a concubine to do something for the wife..." She didn't finish her contemptuous words, but was immediately interrupted:

"enough."

Cao Cao glared at her, his voice was full of coldness, and a piercing coldness made her shiver all over: "You are drunk today."

He looked around, and the servants couldn't help trembling, lowering their heads one after another, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Mrs. Ding is drunk, hurry up and help her go back to rest!"

Hearing an order, they rushed to help Ding Xi "please go back to the house" as if they were pardoned, but the latter stared at Cao Cao with gritted teeth but dared not say a word, and directly helped her out with half-pull and half-push.

Seeing that Ding Xi's figure had disappeared behind the door, Cao Cao looked at A Sheng and asked with concern: "Do you want to go back and rest?"

The attitude is completely different from Ding Xi's gentleness and concern.

He happened to be tired too, so A Sheng nodded and left the table.

***

Not long after, Cao Cao came back from the banquet with a basket of purple fruits in his hand.

"This is a mulberry just sent from my hometown in Qiao County. You like sour recently, you can choose the reddish one to taste." He greeted Ah Sheng, who was busy washing and sleeping, and began to eat it himself.

A Sheng looked at the tempting fruits in the basket, while taking off the hairpin on his head and shaking his head, he curled his lips: "I clearly said that I want to eat grapes."

The plucked agate jade pendant made a light tinkling sound. Cao Cao picked up a mulberry from the bamboo basket and brought it close to her mouth. Husband will feed you mulberries first, would you like to give me a face?"

The tempting little purple fruit came to his mouth, Ah Sheng finally couldn't help the fragrance, opened his mouth and swallowed it, smacking and chewing.

Seeing her eating happily, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he reached out to wipe off the juice from the corners of her lips, saying: "Just now Ding Xi deliberately made things difficult for you, I know you are angry, but don't be as knowledgeable as her." .”

A Sheng curled her lips when she heard this: "Who would bother to be as knowledgeable as her, I don't bother to pay attention to her shrew-like behavior."

As she was talking, she didn't want the fruit to become more and more addictive. The cravings in her body came to her brain, and her stomach, which was already very hungry, didn't want to restrain it anymore. She grabbed the basket and couldn't wait to stuff the mulberries into her mouth. Gradually, the purple and red mixed together. The juice stained the corners of her lips crimson.

While enjoying it wantonly, she suddenly remembered that at that time Xun Yu liked to drink wine made from mulberries, buried it under the fruit tree, and waited until the snow-covered deep winter to take it out and sip it in front of the small stove. It was an unforgettable taste.

Thinking of Xun Yu, she suddenly recalled—does Cao Cao still have the Pisces jade ring that originally belonged to Wen Ruo?

Thinking of this, she stopped the action of stuffing mulberries into her mouth, and asked him, "Where's that jade pendant?"

"Which one?" He didn't know whether he was really stupid or knowingly asked.

"As for the thing that I sold to you when I was confused, should you pay me back?"

Hearing what she said, a slight displeasure suddenly appeared on his face. Although he was still smiling, he was obviously restrained.He had seen a Pisces jade pendant paired with the jade ring on Xun Yu's waist before, but he still said nonchalantly: "This...why do I have to return the treasure I bought for two thousand baht back then?" you?"

Seeing that he was so careless, Ah Sheng couldn't help being anxious: "Then, I'll pay you back with two thousand baht, no, or three thousand is also fine, you give me back this."

"Is it really so important to you?" He tentatively asked her attitude, although A Sheng didn't know if he was really asking.

But she still nodded solemnly: "It's really important. So I hope you can sell it to me for three thousand baht." She turned around and took out a few strings of pearls from the dowry box, stuffed them into Cao Cao's palm, and said : "This is still your betrothal gift, which is about [-] baht, so it should be offset."

A barely visible frown flashed past, which seemed to be his obvious disappointment, but it quickly returned to normal, and she didn't notice the slightest difference.

A Sheng stared at him as he took off the Pisces jade ring hanging from his waist, and then he gently placed it in his hand.She held it as if she had found a treasure, and the surprise on her face was full of cherishment that was lost and found again.

His expression darkened, and he forced a smile: "Are you satisfied?"

She didn't hear the abnormality in his voice, her mind was completely filled with excitement and excitement, and to express her satisfaction, she pressed a kiss heavily on his forehead.

The purplish stain from the mulberries that had just been eaten was conspicuous on the forehead, forming a comically inappropriate mark on his face.

A Sheng couldn't help admiring it carefully, and clapped her hands in satisfaction: "This is the unique mark I left on you, please don't rub it off." She stared at him slyly, with a naughty look on her lips laugh.
