She was stunned for a moment and glanced at the guard in Xuanyi who was following the car on horseback. He was looking at her with a half-smile through his mask.
Ming Lanruo obediently extended her hand to Jinghe, intending to help Jinghe get out of the car.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Hongye had already been prepared and reached out to grab her catkins. He even took a step forward and held her arm: "Princess, be careful."
Ming Lanruo looked at him coldly: "What are you doing?"
"You and I are a loving couple, so we travel together. Now, do you want to show your estrangement in front of Magistrate Tang?" Shangguan Hongye lowered his voice and said coldly in her ear.
Ming Lanruo frowned slightly, but Magistrate Tang and others were already looking at them in front of the carriage.
She didn't hesitate and didn't look at Qiao Yan. She simply supported Shangguan Hongye's arm and got out of the car.
Shangguan Hongye's sharp Danfeng eyes flashed with a smile, he clenched the catkins in his hands, then looked at everyone in the Tang Mansion, and waved casually to signal everyone to get up.
"Get up."
As the most favored young lady, Tang Lilan was standing at the front. She watched with a gloomy face as Shangguan Hongye helped Ming Lanruo get out of the carriage.
Then, she looked at the crowd that was following and saw many familiar faces.
But……
No Homura!
Disappointment and suppressed anger flashed in her eyes, and she squeezed the veil tightly in silence.
Ming Lanruo naturally saw Tang Lilan's indignant expression, but she didn't take it seriously. Compared with Tang Lilan's emotion written on her face, it was probably stupid and bad.
But the second young lady of the Tang family, Tang Bijun, is more worthy of her attention.
However, Tang Bijun, the second young lady of the Tang family, did not appear among the people who greeted her. Isn't it said that she is also one of the most favored young ladies?
"Please come in." Magistrate Tang led the way with a smile on his face, his fat face smiling like Maitreya Buddha.
Shangguan Hongye was about to drag Ming Lanruo in when a tall, slender black figure suddenly flashed over and squeezed him out of the way gracefully and simply.
Qiao Yan stood beside Ming Lanruo'er and said respectfully: "My dear lady, I have something to report."
Shangguan Hongye didn't know why the girl's soft palm in his hand was suddenly taken away. The palm was empty, and there was a big man next to him, blocking him and Ming Lanruo like a wall.
.
He had a gloomy look on his face and was about to attack: "Presumptuous..."
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Magistrate Tang and others seemed to be shocked.
Shangguan Hongye paused and had to swallow his anger. He looked at Ming Lanruo who seemed to be talking to Qiao Yan expressionlessly, turned around and said with a cold face: "Nothing, let's go."
Ming Lanruo looked at him speechlessly, frowning and saying: "Qiao Yan..."
Jealousy also depends on the occasion. She is just pretending to be a loving couple with Shangguan Hongye temporarily.
Qiao Yan slightly curved the corners of his lips: "I just want to remind you that according to the news from Dongchang, Tang Bijun is a woman with strong martial arts skills and ruthless methods, and she will be punished for every penny spent."
"Her status in the Tang family is extremely high, second only to the Tang prefect. Her brothers are all a head shorter than her."
Minglan Ruo heard this and thought thoughtfully. The wife of Tang Zhifu, Ruan, gave birth to three sons and two daughters, all of whom were legitimate children. Why was Tang Bijun valued more than her legitimate brother?
Qiao Yan paused and his voice was a little cold: "Last time she underestimated the enemy and broke an ear at your place. Today, she will never let you leave intact at this Hongmen Banquet."
Ming Lanruo was startled, it turned out that he really had something serious to remind him.
She felt warm in her heart and nodded: "I know, I will be careful, not to mention..."
When no one was paying attention, she quietly poked his palm with her fingertips: "Isn't this about you? You will protect me, right?"
Qiao Yan looked at the girl in front of him. Her facial features were beautiful and delicate, but her starry eyes had a cunning and alluring light.
He smiled softly: "That's natural. I'll be so heartbroken for the little empress, and I won't hesitate to do so."
The atmosphere between the two was thick and seemed to be strangely hot.
"Hey, Ming Lanruo, where did Xiao Yanzi go?" Tang Lilan couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Ming Lanruo's arm.
Ming Lanruo stared at her coldly, flicked her wide sleeves and said, "How presumptuous! Are you allowed to call me by my first name?"
Tang Lilan froze for a moment. The woman in front of her had a cold and cold gaze. At that moment, she no longer looked approachable. She was filled with a cold and noble air, which was cultivated by the hairpin family for hundreds of years.
It seemed completely different from a nouveau riche princess like her. The merchant girl suddenly became someone she could not offend.
She couldn't help but loosen her fingers, feeling jealous and unwilling in her heart.
She gritted her teeth and asked: "Ming Fei, you are hiding your identity, so I don't know the identity of you and Prince Qin. As the saying goes, the ignorant is not guilty, and I just want to know where Xiao Yanzi has gone!"
If Xiao Yanzi is Ming Lanruo's younger brother, it means that he has a high status and is a noble of the capital!
She is still barely qualified to be a princess from the Northeast Territory, as long as...
If Tang Bijun laughed at her and humiliated her for running after a pariah, it would not be valid. It was Tang Bijun who was jealous of her!
Ming Lanruo saw that she was suppressing her temper, and a strange color flashed in her eyes. Could it be that Tang Lilan was really attracted to Xiao Yanzi?
She couldn't help but look at Qiao Yan aside, a little gloating with her eyes - Look, the love debt your avatar caused!
Qiao Yan looked at Tang Lilan and said calmly: "I wonder what important matter Miss Tang San has for Eunuch Xiaoyanzi?"
Leng Buding struck down with a heavy hammer, making Tang Lilan freeze. She looked at Qiao Yan in disbelief: "What did you say...what..."
Father-in-law?!
Qiao Yan raised his eyebrows: "Xiao Yanzi is the commander of the East Factory, and like me, this time, under the orders of Lord Qiantose, he disguised himself to protect Concubine Ming."
Tang Lilan staggered two steps, her pretty face turned white, green and red.
She covered her chest and her mind was completely blank - so, she kept chasing the butt of a lowly eunuch?
"How dare you... how dare you use a eunuch as lowly as a slave to insult me and play with the daughter of my noble magistrate? How dare you... how dare you!" Tang Lilan's eyes turned red, staring at her with anger and hatred of being humiliated.
them.
Ming Lanruo's face suddenly darkened, lowly? Slave?
How dare this woman insult her people like this!
Qiao Yan's expression was very calm, as if he had been looked down upon and scolded millions of times and was already accustomed to such verbal insults and trampling!
But she... couldn't bear it!
Ming Lanruo sneered: "Did Xiao Yanzi take the initiative to seduce you? Wasn't it Miss Tang San who was pestering him?"
Tang Lilan was furious: "But you lied to me and said he was your brother and your relative!"
Otherwise, how could she run after a eunuch? If this woman Tang Bijun knew about this, she would never be able to hold her head up in front of her annoying second sister for the rest of her life!
Ming Lanruo sneered: "Xiao Yanzi was ordered to disguise myself to protect my safety. Do I want to tell you my nine-thousand-year-old will? Even if it is your father, he is not worthy of knowing the arrangements around my princess!"
Tang Lilan gritted her teeth: "You..."
"Also, eunuchs are human beings too. In my eyes, they are all better than you!" Ming Lanruo said coldly, then walked away!
Tang Lilan was so angry that her brain turned white, but she was clumsy and clumsy. She just wanted to catch up with Ming Lanruo and have a quarrel.
But the next moment, the tall and cold guard standing next to Ming Lanruo suddenly raised his sword and blocked her way, saying in a cold voice: "Concubine Ming is a member of the royal family. Miss Tang San, you'd better pay attention to your attitude. The following is my fault.
As a result, your second sister lost an ear, what are you missing?"
When Tang Lilan met his strange and gloomy gaze, she trembled all over and froze on the spot.
She could only watch as the crowd gathered around them and walked away.
But the dispute just now, although it was short and the voice was lowered, fell into the eyes of other interested people.
Tang Lilan stood in despair. The maid beside her did not dare to show her anger, but only accompanied her cautiously, for fear of suffering disaster.
The third lady was also rough and cruel, and her beatings were extremely painful.
Suddenly, I heard a woman's sarcastic and indifferent laughter coming from behind: "Third sister, look, the beautiful boy you miss is actually a eunuch, but you still can't let go of him, for fear of offending Concubine Ming, hahaha..."
Tang Lilan tensed up and turned around suddenly, only to see Tang Bijun walking over wearing a gorgeous dress and smiling.
"Second sister, are you here to see my joke!" Tang Lilan clenched her fists and said coldly, disgusted and afraid of this second sister.
She is also a woman. Although she is a direct descendant, why should she be above all her brothers?
The one my father loves most is obviously himself!
A seemingly sympathetic smile appeared on Tang Bijun's fair and beautiful face.
It's just the calculation and coldness in her eyes that make this smile weird——
"Of course not. You are my sister. Of course I am here to teach you how to get revenge. How can we girls from the Tang family be played with? How do you think about my proposal a few days ago?"
Tang Lilan's face turned pale, she seemed to be in a tangle,
Finally, she gritted her teeth viciously: "Yes, I will definitely make that bitch Ming Lanruo pay the price! There will be no return for asking her today!"
