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, and now we want to show our alienation 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 Homurako!
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.
But now Tang Bijun, the second young lady of the Tang family, did not appear among the people who greeted her. Doesn't it mean 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 beside him, blocking him and Ming Lanruo like a wall.
.
He had a gloomy look on his face, and was about to get angry: "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 means, 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 deeply. 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 himself.
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 and said, "That's natural. I will be so heartbroken for the little empress that I will not hesitate to do so."
The atmosphere between the two was thick and 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 looked at her coldly, flicked her wide sleeves and said, "What a shame! 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 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 identities of you and His Highness King Qin. As the saying goes, the ignorant is not guilty, and I just want to know where Xiao Yanzi has gone!"
