It is said that women from Yongdi have a gentle temperament and a gentle mind. It is a completely different type from the fierce and bold Qiangmo women.
Therefore, after these Yongdi women are sold to the Qiang Desert, most of them will be reduced to female slaves and playthings. The methods used by people to deal with obedient and gentle foreigners have always been to squeeze as much as they can.
After that Nuo Niang was sold to the palace as a slave, when she learned that she was going to face such a result, she wanted to escape all the time.
However, she was weak and far away in a foreign country, so her struggle failed.
But after being captured, the princess, who was already Lord Corso's wife, admired Noniang very much.
Therefore, she only arranged for the young girl from Yongdi to stay and take care of the little prince.
Nuo Niang was grateful for the princess's kindness and naturally took good care of Helian very wholeheartedly.
Even after the princess was killed due to a failed assassination attempt, she would never leave the little prince.
And although she was quiet and soft-spoken, she was always able to protect the little prince Helian in her own way.
Although the gentle Nuo Niang was more than ten years older than the little prince Helian, Nuo Niang was the only protector who accompanied the little prince Helian from childhood to adolescence.
In addition, Nuoniang was the only woman who was friendly to him in his future life.
In this state of dependence on each other, the two actually developed a feeling similar to attachment.
Little Prince Helian was raised by Nuo Niang with all his heart. Although his temperament was still different from that of his other brothers, he had a very kind-hearted personality.
However, he was also a smart child. As his intelligence emerged, people discovered that the child they had bullied before might become a potential threat to them. Therefore, during Helian's teenage years, they did not care about Helian because of his As they grew up, they restrained themselves, and even their methods of bullying He Lian became more violent after that.
And they also realized how much He Lian valued the woman next to him. In order to torture and destroy He Lian's will, the brothers headed by the next heir only subjected Nuo Niang to a lot of inhuman torture. They tortured and killed Nuo Niang. After the killing, they told him about the process and even pulled the hair from Nuo Niang's head to stimulate him. They said that Nuo Niang was eaten completely by wild beasts raised by her heirs, and this was the only thing left on Nuo Niang's body.
Although Prince Helian had a gentle personality, he was obviously irritated. Afterwards, he fought with several brothers, but because he was weak, he was quickly suppressed and beaten.
Even though he was the one who suffered, no one made the decision for him. Even his father only called him a waste and punished him after knowing that he had lost. On the contrary, the brother who started the trouble was praised and rewarded.
From then on, Prince Helian realized that in such an environment where the jungle prevailed, if he was not strong enough, he would only be eaten by others. Only the people around you will suffer.
So from then on, he endured it, tempered his edge, and at the same time strengthened his body and mind.
And with the cooperation between him and his eldest brother, the heir who was originally deeply loved by his father was naturally pulled down, and was killed by his father himself for the crime of regicide.
However, although the heir was deposed, other competitors did not stop.
The eldest brother intends to win the qualification to be the heir to the throne, just because his bloodline is contrary to the Qiangmo alliance theory proposed by his father, so the eldest brother wants to use a feat to prove to his father and the elders below.
After all, their father has always been about the weak and the strong, and he is very ambitious. In the entire Qiang Desert, he is the victorious king that almost no one can match.
Moreover, their father also wanted to invade the land of Yong, which was wider and more abundant in resources.
Unfortunately, the Chen Jiajun stationed at the border between Qiangmo and Yunzhou was a powerful enemy that their father could not defeat in his life.
Several failures and old age are also slowly eroding this hero's ambition. If they can successfully attack Yunzhou and severely damage the central figure of Chen Jiajun, then this victory will undoubtedly be enough to silence all those who question his eldest brother's bloodline.
Therefore, he came to help this time, but he did not expect to see a woman here who was almost exactly the same as Nuo Niangsheng.
When Zhang Lijin rushed out of the woods, he immediately
At that time, I almost really thought that the other party was my Nuo Niang.
After all, he did not see Nuoniang's death with his own eyes, and because they said that the beast raised by his brother devoured Nuoniang, he could not even find Nuoniang's body.
Therefore, he had actually been avoiding Nuo Niang's death. Subconsciously, he still felt that Nuo Niang might still be alive.
The appearance of Zhang Lijin just coincided with his subconscious mind. ..
That's why he felt so deeply that Zhang Lijin was Nuo Niang.
After Zhang Lijin pounded the glutinous rice and jujube paste, she mixed the two together and shaped them into the shape of a mountain flower that is common in her hometown. After all, the glutinous rice and jujube paste cake in her hometown is almost a specialty, and the people who sell this pastry also There are many, and if you want to stand out from those people, you must be different, but their family does not have more money to play with materials, so the ingenious mother can only use her thoughts in other aspects.
While others were making the glutinous rice cakes into square brick shapes, their mothers would make them into various flower shapes. The beautiful pastry shapes indeed attracted more people's favor.
However, because the production process was too time-consuming and the price could not be sold, others did not follow up on her mother's production methods. Later, she also returned to Jiangzhou once, but at that time, the streets in Jiangzhou only had square bricks. Cake, where can I find flower-shaped cakes like that?
When Zhang Lijin lowered her head and thought about the past, He Lian was also quietly looking at the various flower-shaped pastries kneaded by Zhang Lijin in a daze.
After Zhang Lijin discovered that the person who had just pranked him suddenly stopped, she couldn't help but look up and glanced at He Lian. Seeing that the other person was just looking at her hand holding the flower cake blankly, she couldn't help asking warmly, "What?" Did I pinch it ugly?"
Hearing Zhang Lijin's question, He Lian immediately shook his head.
He looked at Zhang Lijin with a smile, and those green eyes were like a lake without any impurities and with sparkling waves.
"I was just wondering if all Yongdi women are as clever as Nuo Niang," Helian murmured in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lijin asked softly, "Did the prince put honey on his mouth?"
Hearing this, Helian just touched his lips with his hand blankly, and then he shook his head seriously, "There is no honey."
Seeing that he didn't understand her words at all and looked so obedient, Zhang Lijin couldn't help but laugh.
He Lian looked at Zhang Lijin with a puzzled expression and said, "Nuo Niang, why are you laughing? I really don't have any honey on my lips."
As soon as he finished speaking, as if to prove that there was really no honey on his lips, he even grabbed Zhang Lijin's hand and rubbed it against his soft lips.
Although his move seemed to be unintentional, and Zhang Lijin was already past the age of a young girl, being so close to such a handsome young man still made Zhang Lijin's face blush.
And He Lian was also holding her hand and just staring at her cheek.
Just when the atmosphere in the room started to become ambiguous, there was an indifferent guard outside the tent who just opened the curtain.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince asked me to come to you." After the guard discovered these two people, he quickly reported in a low voice.
He Lian said absently, "I know."
Then he said softly to Zhang Lijin, "Nuoniang, I have something to discuss with my elder brother. If you are tired, you don't have to wait for me. I will ask the guards to take you to rest."
Zhang Lijin smiled and said warmly, "Why are you tired? Don't you want to eat glutinous rice and jujube cake? I'll just stay in the kitchen."
Seeing that Zhang Lijin insisted on staying here, He Lian naturally couldn't force him. He had to say to the soldier just now, "You stay here. If Nuo Niang has any instructions, just follow her instructions."
The soldier naturally nodded seriously when he heard this.
After they left, Zhang Lijin also had some calculations in her mind.
After she made all the glutinous rice and jujube paste cakes into the shape of mountain flowers, she just silently put the cakes on the same plate. Then she found a food box and put the cakes away.
Then she pointed to the glutinous rice and jujube cake, and then pointed outside. She only deliberately said in Yongdi language, "This is a gift. I have made it now. You can go and deliver it."
The soldier naturally didn't understand her words, but when he saw her handing the pastry box to him, he probably understood Zhang Lijin's intention.
But when he looked at Zhang Lijin, Zhang Lijin just smiled and pointed to the door, while she continued to make noodles quietly here.
When the soldier saw that she had no intention of leaving, he had no choice but to leave with the food box.
Arriving at the main camp tent, the soldier then hurriedly took the cakes Zhang Lijin handed him to the main camp tent.
Naturally, the soldiers outside the camp only stopped him. The soldier could only whisper, "This is a cake specially made by the kitchen. Please bring it in for me."
What the soldiers in those camps saw when they opened them were soft, glutinous, sweet and steaming pastries.
However, although there was no problem with the things, His Highness had also instructed none of them to enter the camp without permission and disturb them.
So the two people just said impatiently, "His Royal Highness said that no one can come to disturb me. If you really have something to do, just wait here."
After listening to the other party's words, the soldier could only wait where he was.
At the same time, Zhang Lijin, who was supposed to be in the kitchen, secretly followed the soldier to get a clear look at Helian's camp. However, because the terrain was flat and there were patrolling soldiers everywhere, she had no excuse. It was a secluded place to live, and the camp was heavily guarded and it was difficult to get close. Therefore, in order not to reveal her identity, she did not follow him.
