Ming Yuenlang woke up this morning in a very good mood.
My daughter said that he would not need to drink the medicine that he used to treat his injuries today, and would replace it with another less bitter medicine to replenish his health.
So he got up early, drank the medicine, and was about to take a walk in the yard.
From this courtyard, you can see the vast expanse of blue lake not far away. The scenery is very good. He is very interested in poetry and has already written a good poem. He is going to compose a poem today.
The servants put out the tables and pens and ink, but as soon as he went out, a crow flew over his head and pooped on his head.
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
He immediately took a slingshot to hit the crow. Unexpectedly, he missed the crow, but hit a big eagle that flew over from nowhere. The big eagle was fierce and cunning.
He just lost two hairs and pretended to fly away. When he turned around and was about to go back to bathe and change clothes, he suddenly flew down again!
Not only did she peck him several times, but when she flew away, she took the opportunity to spit a large amount of shit on his head!
He was almost pecked by an eagle, his hair was torn apart, he was extremely embarrassed, and his good mood for the whole day was completely ruined.
unlucky!!!
Ming Yuanlang gritted his teeth and went to take a bath in depression.
When he finally finished bathing and incense, he felt a little better. His servants asked the Ming Dynasty scholar if he wanted to go to the courtyard to recite poems and compose poems again.
Ming Yuanlang thought that it might be unlucky to go out today, so he decided to read and paint in his room.
But he never thought that things like "unlucky" and "bad luck" would have legs and come to his door.
"My lord, the eldest lady is here."
The servants came to report respectfully.
Ming Yuanlang left the flower hall with a smile to pick up his daughter, but unexpectedly he saw an uninvited guest standing next to his daughter.
His expression suddenly became indifferent.
However, Cang Qiao didn't feel dissatisfied and just raised his hand to salute: "Ming Guo Gong."
A strange light flashed in Ming Yuanlang's eyes, and he bowed in return: "I don't dare to accept this gift from Master Qiantui. I should treat it as if I have met Master Qiantui."
Although Ming Yuanlang held the title of Duke of the First Grade, honors were nobility, and the official practice of the Tianming Dynasty was that non-Jinshi would not be admitted to the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin would not be admitted to the cabinet.
There are countless nobles with empty titles and no official positions. Officials with real power may respect these nobles on their faces, but they may not think highly of these nobles in their hearts.
However, Ming Yuanlang studied all the way by himself. At the age of seventeen, he was appointed by the late Emperor to be a Tanhualang. He first entered the Hanlin Academy, and then entered the cabinet as a first-class bachelor. Everyone must respect him as a senior scholar, and his status is extraordinary.
But Cang Qiao was of a superior title, with the outrageous title of nine thousand years old. Even the princes and princes wanted to pay tribute to him, and Ming Yuanlang really wanted to pay tribute to him.
Cang Qiao suddenly raised her hand to hold Ming Yuanlang's wrist, but she didn't let Ming Yuanlang do this.
Ming Yuanlang frowned slightly, displeasure flashed across his handsome and mature face, and he said coldly: "What do you mean, Mr. Qiansui?"
As he spoke, he glared angrily at Ming Lanruo, who was hiding behind Cang Qiao.
Why did this girl bring this person here? Since he has been avoiding seeing her, he was happy and relaxed because he didn't want to see Cang Qiao either.
Ming Lanruo's eyes flickered, a little strange. She saw that her father was in a good mood these days and healed much better from his injuries, so she dared to agree to let Cang Qiao come to see him.
But why did it feel like her father's mouth was full of gunpowder when he opened it, and he was in a bad mood early in the morning? Could it be that a crow pooped on him when he went out?
Cang Qiao smiled faintly: "Qiao cannot bear the courtesy of the Duke."
Ming Yuanlang squinted his eyes and said calmly: "You are always joking. Back then, my first wife took you into her family tree. Now you may not have called me brother-in-law for a long time. It can be seen that the relationship between you and me is based on the rank in the officialdom.
Li, your rank is higher than that of a lower official, so why can’t you bear the courtesy of a lower official?”
Cang Qiao was silent for a while. This was because Duke Ming was mocking him for not recognizing others after his official position was high.
He had no choice but to say: "Brother-in-law."
After saying that, he also glanced at Ming Lanruo.
Ming Lanruo looked down at the tips of her shoes, how could she dare to give him a look: "..."
Ming Yuanlang's face improved a little, but he still said coldly: "Why did the governor suddenly come here with my daughter today? Is it because he is leaving to return to Beijing tomorrow?"
Cang Qiao smiled slightly: "Brother-in-law, won't you invite Qiao to come in and sit down?"
Only then did Ming Yuanlang realize that he was still blocking the door. Seeing that Cang Qiao didn't even use the title "I" and called himself Qiao, he frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.
But he still turned away reluctantly, let him in, and asked the servants to serve tea.
Cang Qiao then came in and sat down, and Ming Lanruo followed quickly and helped pour tea for the two gentlemen.
Who makes her the junior? One is her father, the other is...well, they are junior.
Ming Yuanlang looked at her cute look with low eyebrows and wondered, what happened to this girl today?
Cang Qiao held the tea cup and said to Ming Yuanlang without talking nonsense: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, Qiao will definitely take good care of Ruoruo when she returns to the capital and will never let her get into any danger."
Ming Yuanlang frowned and glanced at Cang Qiao sharply: "The governor knows what Ruoruo wants to do, why do you protect Ruoruo so much?"
Ming Lanruo only told him that Cang Qiao would not be a resistance. He probably knew what she did and why she did it. For the sake of his mother, he would protect her.
Although she had a good reason, after all, Ming Yuen Long had been in the imperial court for many years, and she still felt that something was not right.
For example, why did the relationship between Cang Qiao and Ming Lanruo suddenly become better?
For example, a treacherous and cunning person like Cang Qiao cannot have any purpose. If he provides unconditional protection to Minglan, there must be some conspiracy!
for example……
Ming Lanruo spoke quickly and carefully coaxed her father: "My uncle is actually dissatisfied with His Majesty's behavior..."
"Because Ruoruo is my woman." Cang Qiao suddenly interrupted Ming Lanruo's coaxing words.
Ming Lanruo looked at him suddenly in disbelief, but the cup in Ming Yuanlang's hand fell to the ground with a clang, shattering into pieces.
"No, uncle, he is joking..." She stood up immediately and tried to turn the situation around, but she was in a hurry.
"Because Xiao Xi is actually my child. The man who was with Ruoruo that night five years ago was not the prince, not the King of Qin, nor any other nin. That man was me." Cang Qiao spoke calmly again, looking at Ming Ming
Yuen Long's face changed drastically and his body swayed.
Ming Lanruo's mind went blank, unable to react at all: "..."
Didn't you agree to hide it from your father first?
Cang Qiao looked at Ming Yuanlang's pale and livid face, saw him staring at his body, and continued to say calmly: "Finally, I am not a real eunuch. Back then, Sister Xiao planted the poison of the King of Gu in my body, so that I could
With a body like a heavenly eunuch, he can enter the palace and stay by the emperor's side, lurking to this day."
Cang Qiao made one last stab, shattering Ming Yuanlang's last hope——
He is not a real eunuch, so he is naturally capable of getting Ming Lanruo pregnant.
"Plop!" Ming Yuanlang fell directly to the ground, his face turning from pale to livid.
Three arrows struck Ming Yuanlang to the core.
His mind went blank, with only one thought - today was really unlucky, and the greatest misfortune had come to his door!
Ming Lanruo panicked and immediately stood up and rushed to Ming Yuanlang's side, hurriedly helping Ming Yuanlang: "Father, father... you... me, me, me... I just didn't... have time..."
Ming Yuanlang suddenly grabbed her arm and said tremblingly: "Is what he said true?"
Ming Lanruo was hurt by being pinched, but looking at Ming Yuanlang's extremely ugly expression, her eyelashes finally trembled, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, what he said is true."
After saying that, she glared at Cang Qiao with extreme annoyance. Was he crazy? He came up and killed her father with three arrows without any foreshadowing?
This is her father, not the enemy he dealt with in Dongchang!
Cang Qiao's eyes flashed slightly, she turned her face away, and said softly: "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. There are some things that should not be hidden."
Duke Ming Guo must face the facts. Regardless of whether he likes him or not, he must understand that he will never give in on Ruoruo's matter, no matter who the other party is.
What's more, in the future, all kinds of important rebellion matters will involve his family and life. Duke Ming needs to understand why he is willing to protect Ruoruo without any reason.
Otherwise, with Ming Yuen Long's temperament, he would definitely find ways to guard against him, but he would miss important events.
Ming Lanruo was so angry that she didn't want to talk to him.
Everyone knows the truth. There has to be a process before she can accept it. Her father was better off after his injury. How could he bear such stimulation?
To a certain extent, in Ming Yuanlang's eyes, Xiao Guanyin led the wolf into the house and let Cang Qiao harm his precious daughter. This was a bigger blow to him than the fact that his daughter was born and died for the King of Qin.
Ming Yuanlang took a deep breath, looked around, suddenly took two steps, and pulled out a handful of feather dusters from the vase.
He said coldly to Ming Lanruo: "Kneel down!"
This was beyond Cang Qiao's expectation. If Duke Ming wanted to hit him, shouldn't he be hit?
He couldn't help but frown slightly and stood up: "My lord..."
"Kneel down!!" Ming Yuanlang didn't want to talk to him at all, he just looked at Ming Lanruo coldly.
Without saying a word, Ming Lanruo knelt down with a "pop" sound.
Okay, she found a man to trick her, what can she say, it will happen sooner or later.
Ming Yuanlang gritted his teeth, and the hand holding the feather duster was shaking with anger: "I have failed to educate my daughter well. I am going to ask for family law today. Lord Governor, please stay out of the way!"
