Little Cardamom

Chapter 70:

This seemed to be the first time Ming Tan heard Jiang Xu praise her for being cute, so he couldn't help but stare at him, stunned for a moment.

At that moment, most of her dress was stripped off, and the man came over with a familiar aggression.

The two had a good time last time, and they were still in Pangshan. They hadn't done anything for a few days, and when they got close suddenly, Ming Tan was inexplicably shy and uncomfortable. This seemed to be the same as after the boat put out the fire. It's about affection.

Her small face was soft and reddish, her eyelashes dodged, half drooping shyly, and her little hands were still restlessly pushing back gently, arousing the desire in Jiang Xu's eyes. The color is a little more intense.

The spring color in the inner room was getting brighter, but suddenly there was a sudden communication from outside the house: "My lord, my lord, please see me."

This is the magistrate's government office, and the lord the maidservant refers to is the magistrate.

Jiang Xu's arrow was on the string, and he wanted to ignore it, but Ming Tan pushed his chest, panting intermittently: "The magistrate is here now, if he wants to come, he must have something important to discuss..."

He was silent, turned his head to look at the door, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"The slaves don't know, my lord only let the slaves pass the message, and ask to see the prince."

Jiang Xu's eyes were full of lust. The color hadn't faded, but he finally turned over and sat down on the bed, tidied up the loose skirts, before leaving, he leaned over and pinched Ming Tan's cheek, his voice was hoarse: "Wait for me to come back."

Ming Tan covered the right cheek that had been pinched by him, sat up with the other hand supporting the bed, and wiped the marks on his body shyly and flusteredly.

Outside the house, Jiang Xu went straight out of the courtyard, his eyes didn't rest on the magistrate, but his voice was not at all warm: "You better have something important."

The magistrate was sweating, if he could, he wouldn't want to bother the king of Hades, okay, he can't afford to offend if he doesn't live here, so he can only survive.

He bowed his body and said with trepidation: "His Royal Highness, there is a girl Qing Yu who claims to be from Huilou, and wants to see you."

"That's all?"

The magistrate nodded, with a troubled expression on his face: "This Qingyu girl refused to leave no matter what, she said she had something important to discuss with the prince... Excuse me, the official didn't know how to stop her, so I had to invite her to the flower hall."

It's not that he doesn't know how to stop him, if he really doesn't know, he doesn't have to do anything, there will be hidden guards to stop him back, but it's because he came under Yu Bozhong's name, and he didn't want to offend Su's family, so he invited him here Flower hall, and then came to invite Jiang Xu.

The magistrate was anxiously waiting for Jiang Xu's response, but suddenly someone behind Jiang Xu stepped forward slowly and said calmly, "Since you're here, it's okay to meet you."

Ming Tan saw Jiang Xu's seal and thought that if he had something important to do, he might have to use it, so he hurriedly changed his clothes and chased him out. He didn't expect to hear what the magistrate said just after he came out.

At this moment she remembered that she was still angry just now, but she was interrupted by someone and forgot.

It’s true that he sent those beauties away, but as for that girl Qingyu, he didn’t explain it from the beginning to the end, but now it’s good, he won’t pick it up, she will come to the door by herself, she wants to see what it is Amazing character.

After finishing speaking, she asked the magistrate to lead the way without waiting for Jiang Xu to speak.

In the flower hall, Qing Yu changed into a long blue dress and was sitting and waiting. Seeing the magistrate coming, she got up, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of His Royal Highness Dingbei's joy, before she could see the strange woman startled slightly.

The woman's snow-skinned appearance, bright eyes and bright teeth, was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off as she took every step. It seemed like a rare treasure, delicate and fragile, which made people hold their breath inexplicably, not daring to breathe freely.

Ming Tan is also looking at the woman in front of him, this woman is extremely beautiful, but she seems to have seen her somewhere, there is a very subtle sense of familiarity.

Concubine Lan, Empress, Bai Minmin, Zhou Jingwan, Shen Hua, Yun Yi... Many familiar and beautiful faces flashed in her mind, and she even briefly recalled her appearance when she took a selfie in the mirror, no, no.

But these eyebrows...

Before she could figure out the answer, Qing Yu knelt down in front of her with a "plop", kowtowed three times, her back straightened, which seemed a bit neither humble nor overbearing.

"The servant has seen the prince and the concubine."

On the way here, she met all the companions who had just been sent back to Huilou. Knowing that His Royal Highness Prince Dingbei was going to Lingzhou this time, the princess accompanied him all the way, and the person in front of her was obviously the princess.

She knelt on the ground and continued: "Your maidservant knows that her status is lowly and she is not worthy of serving the lord, but Shibo makes the lord press her hard. If the lord refuses to accept this servant, this servant..." She kowtowed a few more times in Ming Tan's direction, "I also ask the concubine to stay with me. The slaves are willing to be cattle and horses in return, and they will never exceed the rules."

This attitude, those subtle familiarity disappeared suddenly.

Ming Tan was thinking about where the familiar feeling came from, but Qing Yu mistakenly thought that Ming Tan was moving, and continued to talk about how difficult it was to live in Huilou since childhood, implicitly implying how much she wanted to get rid of Huilou and her hostel. .

Ming Tan sat down at the head and was about to speak, but when she looked up, she caught a glimpse of the Luoshen Spring Water Picture hanging on the right side of the flower hall. Suddenly, she thought of something, her heart trembled, and she subconsciously looked at Jiang Xu.

Jiang Xu exchanged a glance with her, acquiescing to what she was thinking.

Ming Tan slowed down, his heart settled, he picked up the teacup, and took a half sip with restraint, then he looked at Qing Yu who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a warm voice: "Miss Qing Yu wants to leave Huilou?"

"Yes." Qing Yu replied without hesitation.

She finally persuaded Yu Bozhong to let her come and have a try. No matter what method she used, she would fight for another chance for herself to stay with His Royal Highness Dingbei King, even if it meant crossing the river and demolishing bridges and offending Su's family.

Ming Tan pondered: "Wangfu is not a refuge. If anyone comes and asks to be taken in, the Wangfu will be crowded and there will be no place to stand. However, Miss Qingyu is quite close to each other. If I want to leave Huilou, I will I can help you once more."

Qingyu endured the turbulent emotions, only showing gratitude on his face, and immediately wanted to kowtow to thank him.

Sure enough, she made the right bet. These Miss Jiao who have never experienced hardships are very soft-hearted. Instead of confronting them, it is better to keep their posture to the minimum and win their sympathy.

But Mingtan said again: "Miss Qingyu, don't rush to say thanks, I can help you leave Huilou, and I can also guarantee that Mr. Yu won't trouble you because of this matter, but this good fortune only ends here After leaving Huilou, whether you will be poor or miserable, rich or noble, will all depend on the girl herself.

This means that she can help her leave Huilou, but she cannot allow her to enter the palace? Qing Yu raised his eyes, meeting Shang Ming Tan's gentle gaze.

"Princess, servant—"

"Miss Qingyu, don't rush to answer. I'll give you a day to think about it. If you want to leave Huilou before sunset tomorrow, someone will arrange for you."

Qing Yu fell silent for a while, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Xu, hoping that he could say something for her.

Earlier in Huilou, His Royal Highness King Dingbei obviously took one more look at her, which proved that he was at least not completely uninterested in her. What went wrong?

After a while, Jiang Xu spoke, but not for her.

"Come here, take her out. Regardless of whether she wants the favor of the princess or not, I don't want to see this person appear in front of the king and the princess again." His voice was cold, and he didn't look at her, apparently not paying much attention.

On the way back to the courtyard, there was silence all the way, Ming Tan was thinking about what to say, but he didn't know how to speak. All her previous emotions had dissipated, and only a faint worry about her husband remained in her heart.

When she suddenly caught a glimpse of the picture of a beauty in the flower hall, she finally remembered the origin of the familiarity between Miss Qingyu's brows and eyes, didn't it come from the portrait of Princess Min Cong that was covered by the rolling curtain in the palace study?

She saw it once by accident. It should be painted by her mother-in-law when she was established as the crown princess. She was wearing the crown princess uniform. Her appearance and demeanor were meticulously drawn, lifelike, and she was an unforgettable beauty. .

The appearance and demeanor of that Qingyu girl is far inferior to that of her mother-in-law who passed away, but after a rough glance, her eyebrows and eyes are very similar, so it is no wonder that the husband will let her accompany her.

Husband, you should miss your mother-in-law very much.

Before he was one year old, his father-in-law passed away unexpectedly, and he never enjoyed the love of a father, but his mother-in-law died of depression when he was five years old——

"This queen mother and concubine comes from the Yi family in Lingnan, with a prominent family background. She was raised according to the standard of the mother of the country since she was a child." For some reason, Jiang Xu suddenly took the initiative to speak.

Changing home in Lingnan?

This is indeed a prominent family.

"After the death of the father, the Sheng family intended to support the emperor's grandson, but the mother and concubine did not want the king to become a **** in the struggle for power, and only hoped that the king's life would be safe and smooth.

"Her choice brought a lot of disaster to the Yi family. The owner of the Yi family once denounced her as unworthy of being a daughter of the Yi family. She may not be a qualified Yi family daughter, but she is a very good mother."

When he was going to marry into the Dingbei Palace, Ming Tan had inquired about his past, and his uncle had indeed said that, as the grandson of the former emperor, he was able to survive the two regime changes without the protection of the Crown Princess, but she didn't go into it at the beginning. She didn't even know that her mother-in-law came from the Yi family in Lingnan.

She hesitated for a while: "Husband, that Qingyu girl, otherwise..."

"It's just three points similar, how can she compare with this queen mother and concubine, don't worry about it, and don't care about it."

Ming Tan nodded slowly, but in his heart he hoped that the girl Qingyu would be more clear, and with this slightly similar face, she could choose a smoother life.

However, things backfired, Mingtan received the news the next day that Miss Qingyu was unwilling to leave Huilou.

She is the most outstanding girl in Huilou. When she leaves Huilou, she has nothing but a face. She can't find a stronger backer than Su's family for a while, so she might as well stay. Su's family says nothing in Lingzhou. With her With ability, it is not difficult to want to be more pampered after entering the mansion.

Knowing this, Ming Tan felt inexplicably melancholy. Individuals have their own destiny, and she can't say that others' choices must be wrong.

It's just that her husband's work seems to have come to an end, and she will leave Lingzhou in a few days. She packed her clothes and fell into deep thought, what can she do for her husband?
