"No, I was just ordered to serve you. Master Qiantose told me that Master Xiao Xi is not young anymore and should learn to take care of himself and be independent..."
Homurako said with an innocent yet embarrassed face.
"Young children avoid their mothers. If Master Qiantose finds out that Master Xiao Xi takes a bath with you, I'm afraid he will be angry and think that you have not taught your children well..."
Minglan Ruoxing's eyes narrowed, she showed a cold smile, and interrupted him: "I have taught the children well but I have not taught them well. What does it have to do with him? He has not taught the children well. Come on, get out of here!"
How on earth did this man manage to be the leader of the East Factory for so many years, and how could he be a detective and assassin for so long without being discovered?
There are obviously flaws all over!
As soon as she finished speaking, Chunming and Jinghe came up unceremoniously. One of them grabbed Homurako's arm and dragged him out with a smile on his face——
"Let's go, Mr. Xiaoyanzi!"
Xiao Xi made a big face at him: "Ah, what a nuisance!"
Homura couldn't resist, dark flames flashed in her eyes, so she had to swallow a mouthful of old blood and was stabbed out!
Before the door closed, he glanced back and happened to see Xiao Xi being held in Ming Lanruo's arms, and the mother and son were heading to the bathroom intimately.
There was a light of reluctance in his eyes - hum, next time he will also take a bath with the little empress, and ask her to hold him while bathing!
This idea was later brought to my father-in-law, who only said silently - there was nothing I could do, Chitose was too involved in the drama after he disguised himself as a young man and shrunk his bones.
People have become stupid, no, naive.
After mother and son took a bath, Ming Lanruo put on her middle coat and used a big towel to personally fish out the "little kitten" playing in the water.
The naked little chubby baby held her mother's neck softly with her belly puffed out, and softly muttered: "Mom, take Xiao Xi to find grandpa with you. Xiao Xi won't hold you back. You know Xiao Xi."
Xi is very strong and very smart!"
If Ming Lanruo was spoiled by a cute little guy like this on weekdays, she would probably agree to his request.
But this time, she pulled the little guy off in a principled manner and rubbed his fat belly: "Xiao Xi will stay at home and wait for mother to come back. It's too dangerous."
Xiao Xi's big eyes flashed with dark light, and she sighed quietly in her heart, okay.
He has tried many methods, but his mother just doesn't agree, but he has never been separated from her for so long...
"Mother knows that Xiao Xi has never been separated from mother for so long. Mother also knows that you are a smart child, but you also have your own tasks in the capital. Help mother to protect the things that Grandma Wang, the others, and we finally saved.
Ming Fei Mansion, you know that my mother has many enemies."
Ming Lanruo touched Xiao Xi's face. Ever since she discovered that Xiao Xi could escape alone and even plotted against Zhou Changle.
When she was discussing things with Aunt Wang, Chen Ning and the others, she did not deliberately stop Xiao Xi, and even told him some of the current situation in person.
As a father, Ming Guogong also personally educated his eldest daughter from a very young age.
Xiao Xi is her legitimate son, and as her heir in the future, he will definitely face many hardships and swords.
He has been far smarter and precocious than his peers since he was a child, and she doesn't want to bury the little man's abilities and abilities anymore.
Xiao Xi frowned slightly and said while putting on her clothes: "Mother, be careful about that Xiao Yanzi. I always think he is weird and not a good person. If there is a problem, mother will eradicate it. Don't be soft-hearted!"
"
As he spoke, his chubby hand made a knife-wiping gesture on his neck.
Ming Lanruo: "Pfft..."
This is patricide. I wonder what Cang Qiao thought when he heard this!
"Mom, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Xi looked over suspiciously.
She took a breath and smiled: "Ah, I just feel that the baby is so mature, mother is a little emotional."
Xiao Xi held her arm tentatively: "Mother, don't you like me like this? I'm still your cutest baby."
He also found that his mother no longer seemed to insist that he must always be "cute" and "innocent" and be a "good baby" in every move, and she would also tell him many adult things.
Therefore, he tried to show this side of himself occasionally.
Ming Lanruo touched his soft little head and hugged him tightly: "Of course, no matter what you become, you will always be my mother's favorite baby."
She will never forget the way Xiao Xi died in front of her and still tried to protect her.
So, now she just wants her child to be safe. He is a little different from other children, so what!
Homura stood outside the door, watching the candlelight reflect the warm silhouette of mother and son leaning together, a complicated and tender look flashed in his eyes.
Forget it, seeing that the kitten and the mother cat were going to be separated for a while, he stopped disturbing their mother-son get-together.
…
That night in the capital, there was an undercurrent, and everyone had their own thoughts.
The side hall of the East Palace, which was originally sparsely populated, was brightly lit tonight.
On the table are crystal squab, Sixi meatballs, squirrel mandarin fish, eight-treasure duck, shark's fin soup and other delicacies.
"Your Highness is lucky enough to have dinner with me today." Ming Yueying sat at the table, took a teapot, poured a cup of tea for the prince and handed it to her.
If the prince hadn't appeared, there would have been no meat dishes on her table for a long time.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still injured and should not drink alcohol, so I will offer you tea instead of wine." She said calmly.
Shangguan Zhou looked at Ming Yueying in front of him. She had been imprisoned for these days and had become thinner and weaker. Her original jade plate-like face was even more melancholy and cold.
Coupled with her plain white clothes and only a few white jade hairpins, her originally similar facial features to Ming Lanruo's were actually five to five points similar.
In other words... it's very similar to the time when Ming Lanruo was just released from captivity.
Shangguan Zhou's eyes could be seen flashing with cold lust and cruelty - he hated all factors that were not under his control, including women.
Ming Lanruo happens to be such a woman.
In fact, Ming Yueying is also such a woman. She was unwilling to marry him, but she concealed it well on the surface.
He didn't bother to expose it. She was qualified as Ming Lanruo's substitute, but in the end, this woman dared to sacrifice his legitimate son. He decided to join forces with Ming Lanru, force her to step down from the position of crown princess, and kill her.
.
But now...
He suddenly felt that he could not tame the other of the two sisters for the time being, so since this one was in his hands, he might as well tame it first for fun.
Shangguan Zhou suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms, forcing her to sit on his lap, and said hoarsely: "The princess has become more and more attractive after not seeing her these days."
As he spoke, his hand had already reached into her lapel.
Ming Yueying froze, reaching out to cover his chest: "Your Highness, wait a moment..."
"Why, you also want to reject Gu?" A fierce look flashed in Shangguan Zhou's eyes.
Ming Yueying lowered her eyes, a little sluggish, but she still said softly: "I know that I am sorry for you. Are you willing to come back to me? I know that I am lucky, but I am not feeling well these days.
I'm afraid that I won't be able to let the prince enjoy himself to the fullest, so can I let me take care of myself for two days?"
Ming Lanruo said... You can't let Shangguan Zhou succeed directly. Only by refusing to welcome her will the other party be interested in her for a longer period of time.
Sure enough, Shangguan Zhou paused, reached out and gently rubbed her slender waist, and smiled: "You have indeed lost a lot of weight, so just keep it up."
But he didn't take his hands out of her clothes. Instead, he caressed her body unscrupulously, as if he were playing with a prostitute: "Since the Crown Princess is thinking about it, why not just serve her like this?"
Ming Yueying endured the humiliation and patiently picked up the dishes and vegetables: "Yes."
Looking at Ming Yueying's cold and proud face, the look of forbearing grievance, Shangguan Zhou seemed to have seen Ming Lanruo's expression, and his mood inexplicably improved.
He doesn't care what Ming Yueying wants to do, but one day, the two sisters will kneel at his feet and serve him like slave girls.
Shangguan Zhou played with Ming Yueying in the side hall for a while until Ming Yueying couldn't bear it. Although he didn't formally let her sleep with him, he didn't leave until quite late.
Ming Yueying finally couldn't help but take a breath. She was finally relieved and took the first step.
After leaving Ming Yueying's side hall, Prince Shangguan Zhou changed his clothes and secretly left the palace through a secret passage.
The carriage took Shangguan Zhou, who was in a good mood, to a remote City God's Temple.
Someone was already waiting for him inside.
As always, several people wearing various Peking Opera masks were sitting around in the Chenghuang Temple.
But only one person looked lazily and put the mask on his forehead. When he saw Shangguan Zhou coming, he snorted coldly: "You just came here in the middle of the night. Is your highness the prince wearing a woman's panties?"
"Fifth brother, don't forget who helped you marry the person you want." Shangguan Zhou, who was wearing a Cao Cao mask, narrowed his eyes and sneered.
