There was only a window lattice between them, but it seemed like a lifetime had passed between them.
Yan Mingzhu is at this end, while Mingtai is at the other end out of reach.
"Do you recognize the true nature?"
Yan Mingzhu replied with a respectful attitude: "The prime minister is a fair and honest official, and he cares about the sufferings of the people. His reputation is to benefit the present, and his achievements will last for a long time. I have certainly heard about it."
Mingtai stared at her side face, but he didn't care about her praise for him. Instead, he asked: "Which family are you from, and what's your name?"
"My daughter is just an unknown little girl, not worthy of public attention. I have something to do, so please leave first."
Mingtai's eyes were too keen, and Yan Mingzhu was afraid that if she continued to speak, she would be exposed, so she found an excuse and turned around and walked out.
But Mingtai wouldn't let her go so easily, so he chased after her.
"etc!"
Mingtai stretched out his hand, and as soon as his fingertips touched the corner of Yan Mingzhu's clothes, there was a tall and straight figure who was faster than him.
He held Yan Mingzhu's hand with one hand and pulled her directly into his arms.
The man had broad shoulders and narrow waist. Yan Mingzhu was caught off guard and stumbled backwards, falling into the other man's arms.
Yan Mingzhu pressed almost her whole body against his body, and through her clothes, she could feel the warm body temperature belonging to others, which made Qi Jue unable to help but freeze.
But soon, Qi Jue felt that the woman in his arms seemed to be shaking slightly.
Looking down, he found that her face seemed paler than before.
Qi Jue frowned, held the back of her head with his big hands, and buried her face in his chest.
Then, with the help of his wide sleeves, he firmly protected half of her body in his arms. Such a protective posture could completely block the sight of the outside world.
Qi Jue then raised his eyes, looked at Mingtai, and lightly opened his lips: "What does Mingtai want to do to this king's people?"
The words "I am the king" made Mingtai stunned for a moment, and then he saluted and said: "Weichen has met His Royal Highness Dingbei King. Weichen has no other meaning. It's just that when he first met this girl, he felt that she was different from Weichen."
An old friend of mine is quite similar, so I came to ask about it."
The elder brother really doubted her identity. He just glanced at her from a distance and felt that she was familiar. In this world, only the elder brother could recognize her at a glance!
However, the person she loved most was right in front of her, but she was unable to recognize him due to various helplessness.
Thinking of this, Yan Mingzhu felt extremely sad, her eyes were sore, and she couldn't help but hold on to Qi Jue's lapel.
Qi Jue felt the slight strength in his arms. Even though he couldn't see Yan Mingzhu's face from this angle, he could instantly feel from her body that she was very sad at the moment.
Could it be that...she really knew Ming Zuoxiang?
Although Qi Jue was confused, he didn't say anything. He just gently stroked the back of Yan Mingzhu's head with his big and generous hand, silently giving her a sufficient sense of security.
"Ming Xiang must have admitted the wrong person. She is still young. To be honest, she is about the same age as your little daughter. How can she be your old friend."
Mingtai naturally understood that the girl in front of him was very young, and his sister was already twenty years old when she died.
Now seventeen years have passed, and if my sister is still alive, she will already be a woman approaching forty.
But that glance from a distance just now made Mingtai extremely confident in his own eyes. He saw in this girl's eyes an expression that only belonged to his sister.
The Qingming has settled down, and there is a refreshing feeling in every gesture.
There was a voice in his heart that kept saying, go and have a look, go and have a look, even take one more look and say a word, otherwise he will regret it for the rest of his life.
But he didn't expect that Yan Mingzhu seemed to be afraid of seeing him, and always lowered her head, refusing to look at him again.
"I have something else to do, please let me know."
Although he was a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty and the left prime minister, he was honest and upright, and he cared about the people wholeheartedly. He was a rare honest and good official, so even Qi Jue respected him.
"Wait a minute, your highness, can you tell me the name of this girl?"
Qi Jue simply said: "She is just an ordinary girl, so I won't bother you. I'll take my leave."
After walking a certain distance and making sure that Mingtai had not followed, Qi Jue loosened his hand slightly and turned to touch her forehead.
"Your body temperature is low."
After saying that, Qi Jue tilted his head and ordered: "Bring Dr. Tang here."
"No need, Your Highness."
Yan Mingzhu subconsciously grabbed Qi Jue's hand, raised half of her face, looked up at him, and smiled, "I'm fine, really."
The man's hand was warm, but Yan Mingzhu's palm was cold. The touches were intertwined, like ice and fire blending together. This abnormality was conveyed to the heart at a very fast speed, leaving the whole heart with a tingling feeling.
Strange feeling.
When Yan Mingzhu saw that Qi Jue didn't speak, he just lowered his eyes in one direction. When he looked along, he found that he was actually holding Qi Jue's hand!
Yan Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed and quickly let go of her hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. If His Highness feels that he has been taken advantage of, you can take him back."
Qi Jue was both amused and helpless. While raising his hand, his warm fingertips gently touched the corners of her eyes that were still red.
"He bullied you? Do you want me to help you bully him back?"
With a teasing tone, Yan Mingzhu was amused.
She immediately retorted: "You are not allowed to bully him."
This little thing is really heartless, his elbows are all turned outward.
The aloof His Highness King Dingbei was completely unaware that he had placed himself in the ranks of his own people.
With a slight sigh of resignation, Qi Jue untied the gold-woven cloak on his body. In a flash, the cloak spun around and fell on Yan Mingzhu's shoulders.
With the man's warm body temperature, the petite woman was wrapped in it in an instant.
Yan Mingzhu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly evaded: "Your Highness, I'm not cold..."
"The queen poisoned the red soil and wanted to use the peacock epiphyllum to attack the mother-in-law. I used the trick to lure her into the game. However, because the person who drugged the drug was not caught, she was only fined three months' salary and grounded, which gave her an advantage."
While speaking in a calm tone, Qi Jue moved his slender fingertips up and down, quickly tying the tie.
"You are indispensable to the fact that we were able to win a victory without any danger this time."
Yan Mingzhu rolled her eyes and said, "In summary, Your Highness has helped me a lot, but I only tried my best to help you. Thank you very much, Your Highness."
"You don't want to see Mingxiang?"
Yan Mingzhu shook his head at first, but thought of something and lowered his head again, his mood obviously depressed.
Qi Jue took back his hand and said, "If you don't want to say anything, I won't ask any more questions and just go."
Yan Mingzhu was a little dumbfounded: "Where are you going?"
"Of course I'm asking for a reward for you."
Qi Jue took her to see Concubine Zhuang. After today's episode, the flower viewing party went on smoothly.
Concubine Zhuang saw Qi Jue coming from a distance, and when her eyes fell on Yan Mingzhu, she obviously paused.
