MTL - Little Cardamom-Chapter 36

In fact, Ming Tan never thought that her husband would go up to hug her so directly.

Coming out of Shoukang Palace, Zhai Nianci relentlessly followed, pestering her with some sarcastic remarks, Ming Tan was very annoyed, just happened to catch a glimpse of her husband walking towards her from a distance, and suddenly she had a plan.

She interrupted Zhai Nianci, and said softly: "The county lord seems to know very little about men. Since that's the case, the county lord might as well take a good look at what kind of woman His Highness likes." Then she made a sprained look, frowning lightly Hiss a dragon.

According to Ming Tan's thinking, her husband would probably salute the queen first, and then go up to her and ask her: "What's wrong?"

She could follow the conversation, with tears in her eyes pitifully, and said "no problem" forbearance, and then bit her lip to emphasize, "it was my concubine who accidentally sprained herself."

With this move, not to mention how much sympathy she won from her husband, it would definitely not be a problem for him to help her leave intimately.

But now her husband's behavior has exceeded expectations, Ming Tan was so stunned for a moment that he forgot to smile gently at Zhai Nianci.

This is in the palace!

Thinking back to last year's Shangyuan Palace Banquet, she was so energetic that she didn't dare to make a wrong step. Now being carried by her husband to run wild in the palace, it's a bit too ostentatious.

"Husband...husband, don't you go in and greet the empress dowager? And the empress dowager...husband doesn't seem to salute, is this unreasonable?" Ming Tan put his arms around Jiang Xu's neck and asked cautiously.

"It's okay." Jiang Xu didn't take it seriously.

After walking for a while, Ming Tan asked again: "By the way, is your husband familiar with the Yongle County Lord? The Yongle County Lord is very heroic, and he also followed his father to the north. From what she said, it seems that he has some relationship with your husband. "

"Unfamiliar." Jiang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at her lightly.

Ming Tan whispered "Oh" as if he had been read through his mind, and obediently did not ask further questions.

In fact, Jiang Xu's "unfamiliarity" was not perfunctory. His impression of Yongle County Lord was all from the Queen Mother and her father who was still brave and good at fighting.

As for the fact that the Yongle county lord fell in love with him, that he had pretended to be in the camp, followed his father to the north for him, and even cried in private that he wanted to be the princess of Dingbei, he didn't know anything about it. His concubine could be anyone, but she could never be a close relative of the Empress Dowager Su.

Walking to Yeyang Gate, Jiang Xu suddenly asked, "How about the foot injury?"

Ming Tan shook his head: "It's a slight sprain, it's fine."

Jiang Xu paused.

Ming Tan reacted, and immediately hugged his neck tightly again, and said coquettishly: "But it still hurts a little, and I can't walk by myself."

"..."

cumbersome.

He stepped forward and continued to walk out.

Ming Tan couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips upwards, since he was showing off, if he didn't show it to the end, wouldn't he be wronged by the censor for a few books?

Ming Tan is very self-aware, knowing that such a ostentation will inevitably have to be recorded by the official censor.

In the early morning of the next day, after discussing the important matters, there were speakers who came out and decided that His Highness the Northern King had no words or deeds in Da Nei.

It's just a routine for people to participate in the class. After completing the monthly class, there is no hope that they will get any punishment for participating. After all, as long as His Royal Highness King Dingbei is in the capital, it will not be a few days for someone to behave in words and deeds.

But the newly-promoted father-in-law quit.

Ming Tingyuan came out and said, "I think that it's human nature for a newly married prince to be anxious to protect his concubine when he sees her injured, so why talk about words and deeds without words?

"Furthermore, the accusation of laziness raised by the censor is also extremely absurd. Civil servants and military generals originally performed their own duties. When the prince went to battle to kill the enemy, he did not see Shen Yang. The censor had never served the country. Staring at other people's housework is considered lazy!"

Bai Jingyuan, Duke of the Chang Kingdom, also came out to agree: "I think what Jing'an Hou said is very true. If the king of Dingbei can be called lazy, then I am afraid that there are not many hardworking and loyal people in the court. Even if there are, It's definitely not Yang Yushi who only cares about trivial matters!"

Yang Yushi: "..."

Cheng Kangdi: "..."

The hall was silent for a moment, but no one came forward to make things right.

Because the fact is that His Royal Highness King Dingbei acted like this in the palace, and he was indeed arrogant.

But His Royal Highness Dingbei Wang has always been like this, even if the palace banquet is disrupted, is he afraid of this? What's more, Duke Chang and Marquis of Jing'an are right, His Majesty doesn't mind the newlyweds, and it's unnecessary for you to say that it's bad luck to find someone.

As for the discussion in the court, it was not that His Royal Highness King Dingbei had never been there before, but when someone came up, he would either stand silently or just mock the Queen Mother, so it's better not to go up.

For a long while, no one answered, and the Luan Hall was silent. Finally, Emperor Chengkang had to cough twice, and smoothed things over by himself: "Aiqing, there is no need to argue. King Dingbei is young and just married. This... loves his wife very much. "

He paused, always felt that what he said was strange, but he had said it all, so he had no choice but to continue: "And King Dingbei is dedicated to the country, and the illustrious military exploits he made for Daxian are obvious to all, and he does not go to the court to discuss matters." , is also authorized by me, so there is no need to be harsh."

After speaking, he looked to the right.

The right minister agreed, hurriedly came out to report the matter, changed the topic, and gently turned over the incident.

Emperor Cheng Kang didn't think too much about gossip, he didn't know that his "beloved wife is eager" has been spread since the next court.

There is nothing important in the court recently, and the ministers are also willing to gossip, and when they return to their own mansions, they still don't forget to chat with their wives. So the rumor that His Royal Highness King Dingbei "loves his wife eagerly" spread to all the nobles in Beijing in just half a day.

The married woman returned home in three dynasties, Ming Tingyuan was in the court hall angrily refuting Yang Yushi, and Jiang Xu had just finished practicing martial arts and returned to Qi'an Hall, ready to accompany Ming Tan back to the Jing'an Hou Mansion.

Jiang Xu is usually dressed in black, but Ming Tan is putting on his makeup and looking at him from the bronze mirror, saying that he was in Daxiangguo Temple last year, and the pine and green casual clothes he wore were very is good looking.

Jiang Xu: "The clothes are torn."

"Doesn't my husband have any other clothes that are not black?" Ming Tan couldn't believe it. He got up and rummaged through the cage himself, found out the moon white gown and compared it to Jiang Xu, "How about this one? Ah Tan looks like good."

Jiang Xu doesn't like Yuebai.

But before he could open his mouth, Ming Tan looked at him expectantly again and said, "A Tan also wears a moon white brocade dress, come home today, husband and A Tan wear the same color, okay?"

"..." Jiang Xu looked away unnaturally, "It's up to you."

So the couple wore moon-white brocade clothes of the same color, and returned to Jing'an Hou's mansion with a few cars prepared by Uncle Fu to return to Ningli.

When the two returned to the mansion, Ming Tingyuan had already descended to the court, and spread out infinitely what Emperor Chengkang said about "the eagerness to love his wife", until his face was flushed and proud, Mrs. Pei was skeptical when he heard it, and always felt that The "love my wife is eager" that my Lord Hou said has nothing to do with His Highness King Dingbei who I met on the wedding day.

It is not a trivial matter for the princess to return home, although it was not arranged in a big way, but the Jing'an Hou Mansion invited all the relatives of the same clan in Beijing, and organized a family banquet.

Naturally, Shen Hua and Bai Minmin also came.

Men have men's occasions, and women have women's private conversations. After dealing with the three aunts and six wives who came to greet each other, Ming Tan found a free time and went back to Zhaoshui Courtyard with Shen Hua and Bai Minmin.

In fact, I haven't been back for a few days, and the furnishings in the Zhaoshui courtyard are still the same, but Ming Tan somehow feels that the boudoir time in the Zhaoshui courtyard for more than ten years is far away from her, and the more time goes by, the distance will become further and further away.

"How is it? During the few days of your wedding, His Highness has treated you pretty well, right? I came here with my father today and heard that your Highness hugged you in the palace yesterday, and was read by Yang Yushi. , and then my father and your father **** off Yang Yushi in the hall. Anyway, it sounds like your Highness is very pleased with you." Bai Minmin asked excitedly.

Ming Tan held his face and nodded shyly: "Your Highness treats me very well, it should be... a little bit pleasing, right?"

She has always been a well-behaved lady. Apart from reading a few scripts with Bai Minmin, I haven't even met a few outsiders, and I don't know what it means to like and what it means to be happy.

But her husband is good-looking, and she is willing to spend her whole life with her husband, so she should be happy with her husband. And her husband also praised her for being good-looking and treated her well, so he should also be pleased with her?

Ming Tan quite approved of his own logic, and after thinking about it, he nodded affirmatively to himself,

Shen Hua flapped her fan lightly, and echoed with a smile: "Looking at the radiant face of Fourth Sister and the spring in her eyes, I know that His Highness treats Fourth Sister very well."

Bai Minmin was not married yet, so she didn't understand the meaning of Shen Hua's "radiant face, eyes full of spring", so she asked curiously, "His Royal Highness Dingbei treats you very well, so how can you and His Royal Highness Dingbei treat you?" Is there a round room?"

Shen Hua's ulterior joke made Ming Tan's ears turn red with embarrassment, and Bai Minmin was so stupid to ask, her neck was even red with embarrassment.

"Is it round or not?" Bai Minmin insisted.

"It's round, it's round!" Ming Tan couldn't bear the disturbance.

Bai Minmin's eyes glowed: "Is it really round?"

"..."

Ming Tan doesn't want to talk to her.

"Then His Royal Highness King Dingbei... how about it?"

Bai Minmin pointed her fingers with a gossiping face.

Now it's Ming Tan's turn not to understand: "How about what?"

"Just—" Bai Minmin scratched her head, and she didn't know how to describe it euphemistically. She was very curious recently, and the fresh scriptures she found said everything, and the newlyweds would chat with their friends about bed curtains, so Just learn to ask the previous question.

Shen Hua is married after all, and she has some experience in this, so she bent her lips and asked in a low voice, "How many times did you ask for water in one night?"

Ming Tan understood, without thinking, he hit Bai Minmin with a fan and stared straight at her: "Do you know how to be ashamed, a girl who hasn't left the court?"

"That's why you don't feel ashamed anyway."

Bai Minmin is very good at turning over old accounts, and she has recounted absurd things like sneaking into the military camp to peek at the fire escape map when she was not out of the cabinet.

In short, the topic circled around, Bai Minmin and Shen Hua didn't spare her, and finally returned to the matter of the bed curtain.

Ming Tan put his hands on his cheeks, pinched his earlobes in embarrassment, recalled it for a while, and replied shyly: "Your Highness should be, quite powerful? It is a bit hard to have to drink water twice a night." She has no experience to compare, Who knows what is great and what is not.

Bai Minmin was puzzled: "Does the water need to be used twice? If I read it, it would take seven times."

Ming Tan: "...?"

Is that right?

So according to Bai Minmin, her husband is not very good?

Fang walked to the door of the boudoir, and Jiang Xu, who wanted to call Ming Tan out for dinner, also paused.
