"Wait for me for a while, I'll be back soon!" Ming Lanruo boldly reached out and touched Cang Qiao's beautiful face, as if coaxing a child.
Cang Qiao narrowed her eyes, but nodded slightly, actually saying yes, surprisingly "well-behaved".
Ming Lanruo raised her eyebrows slightly. The effect of smoothing the tiger hair was pretty good.
She smiled, turned around and followed her father-in-law into the room.
She and her father-in-law sent Zhou Changle into the inner hall. She waited for her and her father-in-law to go out, then stepped forward, stripped Zhou Changle naked and threw him next to Shangguan Hongye.
Then, she turned around and went out, and she and her father-in-law disappeared quietly with the shadow guards.
After a while, low moans and the sound of bed sheets shaking came from the room.
Ming Lanruo snorted softly, immediately turned to a door, and looked out from the hidden space of the door. Sure enough, she saw two aunts beside Concubine Xian standing by the window of the inner hall, listening.
After listening for a long time, the two aunts were satisfied and turned around to report to Concubine Xian - the "mission of consummating the marriage" of King Qin and Concubine Ming was successfully completed!
Ming Lanruo breathed a sigh of relief knowing that he had passed this test.
She turned around and saw Cang Qiao sitting in front of the table of "big supplements", eating slowly!?
Only half of the plate of stir-fried tiger penis with ginger is left!
Ming Lanruo was stunned: "???"
There might be some aphrodisiac in there!
Cang Qiao looked at Ming Lanruo staring at him with a strange expression, and raised his eyebrows: "Why, this dish is your consummation dish, I can't touch it?"
A table of beautiful untouched "consummation" dishes lit up his heart like a gloomy firework, so he naturally came over to 'spoil' it.
Ming Lanruo looked at Cang Qiao with difficulty speaking: "Uh...is it delicious?"
This man must have absolutely no idea what the food on this table is.
They are all extremely hot aphrodisiacs, and they may have been laced with aphrodisiacs, but...he is a eunuch, so they shouldn't have any effect on him, right?
"The sea cucumber is pretty good. You guys are very generous in this consummation banquet. I will eat it for him." Cang Qiao snorted, took another piece of "sea cucumber" from the plate of tiger whip and put it into his mouth.
"When my body and bones return to normal, I will consummate the marriage for His Highness King Qin." Cang Qiao raised her eyebrows and smiled, her expressions gloomy and domineering.
And... full of malice.
Ming Lanruo didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
She sighed complicatedly: "Okay, as long as you are happy."
Cang Qiao raised his fingers towards her: "Little empress, come here."
Ming Lanruo walked over to him and sat down, looking at the dishes on the table, then at him, and silently decided to observe.
He ate everything anyone told him to eat, what else could he do?
only……
The sound of groaning and rough breathing from the next door could not be heard without stopping. Ming Lanruo felt uncomfortable all over, and her beautiful eyebrows twisted slightly.
She tugged on his sleeve: "Let's go."
"What's the rush? I haven't finished eating yet." Cang Qiao took it calmly.
What better way to prevent future troubles than to let his little empress hear with her own ears how Shangguan Hongye was messing around with other women.
He moved the plates casually with a pair of chopsticks, and the dishes on the table were completely messed up, and then he stood up feeling relieved.
Ming Lanruo only felt that this eunuch was getting more and more interesting. He was obviously older than her by these years, but now he looked like a willful teenager who was just starting to fall in love.
She guessed that because Cang Qiao had been serving Emperor Ming for a long time, he had seen everything about bed affairs and various methods. He was also very smart and had many theoretical knowledge.
But because he had always hated him in the past, he never learned how to get along with the woman he liked, which is why he became this contradictory and weird look now.
Cang Qiao noticed that Ming Lanruo looked at him with teasing eyes, and then he realized that he seemed to have done something stupid just now.
He stood up uncomfortably and snorted: "Let's go, I'll take you to a place."
Ming Lanruo held back her laughter and stood up: "Where are you going?"
He is full of tricks, and when excited, he will do certain things to her without hesitation, somewhat seeking a sense of presence and security in her.
Ming Lanruo secretly came to a conclusion.
Cang Qiao didn't explain, he leaned over and picked her up, then moved quickly out of the window on her tiptoes.
After several ups and downs, he arrived at a deserted and dilapidated palace, and then he carefully put her down.
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment, looking at the dilapidated place and wondering: "Where is this?"
Cang Qiao said calmly: "This is the place where the eldest sister lived in the palace."
Ming Lanruo was stunned for a moment and looked at the palace in front of her. The plaque was already covered with spider webs and was blurry. Only the four words "阘跷流香" could be seen.
She didn't know why, but she felt extremely familiar yet strange here, as if she had stayed here for a long time.
It's not like she hasn't lived in the palace before, but she won't live in a place like this again.
Cang Qiao led her inside. It could be seen that this palace was once a very elegant place.
He took her to the deepest room and gently opened a door.
Although the furnishings here can be seen to have aged a bit, the screen embroidered with family reunion has long since turned yellow, and the alchemy curtains have faded, the room is still clean and tidy.
Ming Lanruo was stunned, and some detailed pictures suddenly flashed through her mind——
A very beautiful woman gently held the little girl in her arms, slowly walked around the room, and coaxed her to sleep: "The moon shines crescent over Kyushu... Some families are happy and some are sad."
There are also those fuzzy, trivial and warm daily routines.
"My Ruoruo is the best, come and wipe her little feet."
"Would you like to kiss your mother if you like?"
"My Ruoruo is good, my mother made little shoes..."
The air still seemed to be filled with the faint fragrance of gardenia and the warm taste of my mother, and tears flowed down my cheeks unconsciously.
Ming Lanruo couldn't help but cover her face and murmured in a low voice: "Mother..."
A pair of long arms stretched out and hugged her into a warm and broad embrace. He sighed softly: "You remember it, right?"
Ming Lanruo grabbed Cang Qiao's lapel and buried her whole face in his arms. She didn't say a word, but her tears fell uncontrollably.
In fact, she didn't remember it, but she didn't forget it at all.
In fact, she can remember very early, and her father thought she had forgotten her mother's appearance, but after so many years, she still remembered the way her mother held her in her arms.
But when I was young, I would be very sad when I think of my mother and the people related to her, and I might even fall seriously ill.
Even her father suffered and suffered, so she learned to "deliberately forget"
Cang Qiao gently stroked her back and whispered: "When my eldest sister gave birth to you, Emperor Ming had your mother and daughter sent to the palace and locked up here."
Ming Lanruo was silent for a while, then sniffed and whispered: "At that time, my grandfather and uncle were already dead. Why did Your Majesty still let my mother and me into the palace as hostages?"
"Your Majesty is afraid of the so-called remnants of the Xiao family, but he also has to worry about the Duke of Ming Dynasty and the public opinion, so he locked up the eldest sister in the palace until you were three years old and the eldest sister was no longer in good health. Then you were released to the Duke of Ming Dynasty.
Mansion."
He hugged her tenderly and sat down: "Back then, you were only a little old. Apart from being in the arms of your eldest sister, you also loved to hug me and never let go."
He had said these words before, but she didn't feel much about them.
When her mother passed away, she was so sad that she didn't want to look back, as if this would save her from having to face the grief of losing her mother.
But now, she is here, as if she has lightly touched the dust of the past, and is sitting in front of those warm and yellow memories of the past again.
In the dusty old days, I vaguely remember a young man dressed in the blue robe of a low-ranking palace official holding a little drooling little man and letting her ride on his shoulders and spin around in circles.
"Fly, Ruoruo is flying..."
"Hahaha……"
Mother sat and peeled apples for them with a smile, wiped their sweat, and quietly left delicious food for them under the supervision of the palace people.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, they were not welcomed by others and their life was not easy. However, under their mother's thoughtful care, they were still happy in this small world.
But, after that... there is no more.
On the day when the news came back that everyone in the Xiao family was returning to their hometown to support the deceased, the mother suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma.
In the end, there were only paper money and spiritual flags flying in the sky, and my mother in the coffin who would never wake up.
The little girl nestled in the boy's arms, crying with him until the sky was dark.
"Ruoruo, be good... don't cry." The boy had grown up, and he patiently patted the girl who was crying silently in his arms.
It was as if she was still the little girl who cuddled in his arms and depended on each other when she was a child.
His voice was as gentle as the wind, and it could soothe all her sadness through those difficult years.
