At this time, Cang Qiao looked at him, looked him up and down, sneered, and without saying a word, he helped Xiao Qizi away like an old Buddha.
Shangguan Hongye suddenly felt like he was holding his breath and felt unhappy all over.
What's going on with this damn gelding's expression on his face - you're an idiot?!
Ming Lanruo also got off the carriage. Seeing him standing here with an annoyed and depressed look on his face, he said coldly: "Your Highness, I am not your real princess. There is no need to bring my companion into the city."
She didn't want to see Emperor Ming.
Of course, she believed that Emperor Ming only wanted to see his son and his sweetheart Cang Qiao, and did not want to see her as an eyesore.
"Ming Lanruo, do you have to do this? I have returned to the court after a great victory. As the princess, you will accompany me to receive the officials who came to greet me. It is an honor and duty to attend the dinner. I remember that you wanted to attend with me before...
..”
Shangguan Hongye was stunned and couldn't help but ask.
Ming Lanruo interrupted him calmly: "No, I don't like it now. I just want to go back to Concubine Ming's Mansion to see my child as soon as possible. His Highness Prince Qin can go and participate in the welcome ceremony and banquet by himself."
Every time he returns to court after a victory, the city is full of red sleeves and girls like him. If she, the fake princess, doesn't go, he will receive more flowers and embroidered handkerchiefs.
After saying that, she waved to Jing Ming, telling him to prepare the carriage.
Shangguan Hongye raised his hand to stop her, frowning: "You were not like this before!"
In the past, when he was still in the army, every time he returned to court after a victory, she would stand in the front row of the crowd to greet him, looking at him with admiration, and throwing flowers and embroidered handkerchiefs at him like other girls.
But she is outstandingly beautiful and has always been the most eye-catching and bright one, as straightforward and enthusiastic as a bush of roses in full bloom.
At that time, he always felt that girls were so "unreserved" and even "arrogant" in trying to show off their girlish beauty in front of a man, losing the graceful and shy beauty of a woman.
The queen mother also didn't like her, thinking that she was too independent-minded and would not be a gentle, virtuous or even obedient and easy-to-control queen.
Therefore, although he often saw her and teased her because of her status, he did not include her as a candidate for his first wife.
But what he always remembered was that she often said in those love letters that she hoped to share the glory of "victory and return to court" with him one day -
As his wife.
Now, by some strange combination of circumstances, they have come full circle and finally become husband and wife.
Hasn't she already obtained this honor that she has longed for? Why does she seem not to care at all?
"Because people grow up and change. Your Highness, how many more times do I need to say this?" Ming Lanruo was a little impatient. How long would he keep talking to her here?
Xiaoxi is still waiting for her at the door!
Shangguan Hongye was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "I remember that I had a bad relationship with you before I was nine thousand years old. He punished you at every turn. Is he still like this now?"
He suddenly changed the topic, Ming Lanruo's delicate eyebrows slightly twisted: "What does Your Highness want to say?"
Shangguan Hongye looked at her: "He was in your room a few nights ago. Did he punish you again?"
Ming Lanruo: "..."
Sure enough, this man heard it. That bastard Cang Qiao must have let him hear it on purpose. He is really a lunatic!
She lowered her long eyelashes and said ambiguously: "So what if it is, so what if it is not? What does this have to do with Your Highness?"
Now that he has made good excuses for her, let's use them.
Shangguan Hongye frowned: "Then stay away from him. I can give you the protection he can give you." This chapter has been completed!
