The little man sitting in Ming Lanruo's arms suddenly pulled Ming Lanruo's sleeve: "Mom, don't worry, those sisters are actually not bad people, unlike that Zhou Changle."
Ming Lanruo was stunned and looked down at the little boy in her arms.
Xiao Xi acted coquettishly at her: "Mom, why don't we meet you."
Ming Lanruo could only nod his little nose lovingly: "Okay, mother, let's see what you are doing."
Ming Lanruo took Jing He to meet several visiting ladies in the front hall.
The girl at the head was Xu Xiuyi, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Dali Temple, and there were also several officials of third rank or above or girls from noble families, all of whom were of high status.
They led the maids over with many delicious and fun things, and even prepared exquisite hairpin jewelry for Ming Lanruo.
Ming Lanruo was raised by the Duke's family since she was a child, and it was obvious from a glance that their gifts were very thoughtful.
"Greetings to Princess Mourning." Xu Xiuyi and several girls saluted her respectfully.
Ming Lanruo was a little puzzled, but she still raised her hand gracefully and said calmly: "Girls, you are so polite, please sit down."
After Xu Xiuyi and several girls finished their salute, they were all a little reserved and embarrassed. After all, they had also ridiculed Ming Lanruo before.
However, Xiao Xi took the initiative and jumped over to hold Xu Xiuyi's hand: "Aunt Xiuyi, you are here. Xiao Xi is okay."
The way the little baby made a milky sound and smiled inexplicably touched the hearts of several girls.
They stepped forward one after another to check on his condition and asked all kinds of questions——
"Baby Xiaoxi, are you really okay?
"Really, my aunts were frightened when they heard you fell into the water yesterday."
"Zhou Changle is really vicious, I don't know how the Zhou family taught her!"
Ming Lanruo looked a little stunned. How come, in just two or three days, all these little girls became Xiao Xi's "aunts"?
Xu Xiuyi touched Xiao Xi's still a little pale face, turned to look at Ming Lanruo, and said with a stern face: "Don't worry, Madam, when I get back I will call my father to investigate General Zhou's crime of not being strict with his goddaughter!"
Mo Feiyan, the second daughter of the Censor of Zuodu, snorted: "Impeaching courtiers is my father's duty as the Censor, so naturally I let my father do it. Xiuyi, you just lead others to publicize who Zhou Changle is.
Look how she can still be the Princess of Qin!"
The other girls nodded one after another and talked openly about how to deal with Zhou Changle.
Ming Lanruo was completely confused, she could only look at Xiao Xi.
The little guy puffed out his chest towards her like a proud kitten and expressed with lip language——
Look, baby, I have incited many "aunts" to rebel by relying on my cuteness. From now on, my mother will not be so weak in the capital circles, and there will be people to help her even if she is marginalized.
Ming Lanruo couldn't help laughing, and quietly gave him a thumbs up - You are awesome!
This united front matter actually depends on this little person.
After seeing off Xiao Xi's "aunts", it was time for dinner.
After Ming Lanruo finished feeding Xiao Xi, Grandma Tan carried him to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was still very worried about the little guy and had to see that he was okay to feel at ease.
Ming Lanruo sent Jing He to follow Xiao Xi.
She watched Xiao Xi leave and simply went to a hot spring pool to bathe in advance so that she could take the little one to sleep when he came back.
She changed into a thin hot spring bathrobe and was about to put the hairpin and earrings she took off into the cabinet when a slender, cool hand suddenly held her wrist.
"What are you going to do when you take a shower at this time?" A cold and faint voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Ming Lanruo froze, and instinctively wanted to turn around: "Master Qiansui..."
How could Cang Qiao appear here again?
But the next moment, the man's slender arms wrapped around her slender waist, preventing her from turning around.
He lowered his head and gently smelled the warm fragrance emanating from the delicate skin next to her ears: "What's wrong, you don't want to see me, huh?"
The delicate and gorgeous long tassels on the edge of his black gauze gold hat fell down, along her sensitive collarbone, and fell into her loose clothes. The slightly rough tassels scratched her skin inch by inch.
The man's strong, gloomy and aggressive aura enveloped her, almost making her spine weak.
Ming Lanruo raised her hand and pressed the rope on her chest, and said calmly: "Of course not, Lanruo has never been on guard against you, but why did you come to this point?"
Cang Qiao's handsome and sinister face flashed with sarcasm.
He laughed wantonly, pressed her against the cabinet, and bit her delicate earlobe: "Ming Lanruo, you should be decent at lying. If you don't set up defenses for our family, what are you hiding from?"
The duplicity of this stinky girl really made him want to do something to her.
Ming Lanruo raised her hand to push him and said dullly: "Let me go!"
