The appearance of a large and ferocious animal like a tiger in the hunting paddock, which even killed the daughters of several officials, made people very shocked and angry. The fact that an assassin appeared in the paddock was even more shocking. The emperor was very angry and ordered an immediate thorough investigation, and
Several soldiers and generals guarding the paddock were beheaded. For safety reasons, the hunt could not continue, and they announced they would return to the city the next day.
Compared to these two points, what is more shocking is that Prince Xian personally carried the injured and unconscious Huimin County Lord back to his tent. This is even more shocking. The rumors about the two of them are just rumors.
There must be a lot of excitement.
Some good people also approached the imperial physician to inquire about the news. The imperial physician gave the theory that Huimin County Lord was attacked by a tiger and was saved by Prince Xian. The two met the assassin again. Everything showed that this was a coincidence.
Even so, there are still people who are unhappy and jealous in their hearts.
Who is Prince Xian? He is the diamond-level son-in-law of thousands of girls. He is a dignified prince. His family does not even have a common room, and he has such a noble status. Who wouldn’t want to crawl into his bed or marry him? But why not?
, was taken advantage of by an outsider from Huimin County.
"Miss, this is too much. There are actually rumors outside that you want to rely on Prince Xian and force Prince Xian to marry you!" Jixiang opened the curtain and came in angrily.
"Jixiang, where did you learn these rules? What's the etiquette of yelling?" Grandma Gu was waiting for Tian Minyan to drink medicine. When she saw this, her face sank and she shouted sternly.
Ji Xiang's face changed slightly, he shrank back, stretched himself out, and timidly called: "Miss."
Tian Minyan took the handkerchief, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said angrily: "Jixiang, Grandma Gu is right about you. You really need to learn the rules when you go back. What if there are outsiders here? Wouldn't it make people laugh?"
"
After hearing this, Ji Xiang suddenly had a grimace on his face and said, "Yes, Miss."
"Tell me, what made you so angry?" Tian Minyan took a candied fruit and put it into her mouth, praising: "The candied fruit pickled by Grandma Gu is so sweet."
Ji Xiang explained the rumors outside clearly and clearly, and finally said with a frown: "Miss, what should I do? The prince brought you back yesterday. That is an indisputable fact."
Tian Minyan smiled. She knew there would be such rumors as early as when she found out she was in Qi Qiqi's camp, so she said: "It's okay for those who are clean to be clean themselves."
"Miss, that's true, but if the prince doesn't come to ask for his hand in marriage, what will happen to the lady's reputation?" Aunt Gu said in a low voice.
Tian Minyan smiled calmly and said, "He will come." She stopped dwelling on the issue and said, "Go and pack everything. It's time to leave for the city later."
This time in Kyoto, I wonder what kind of bloody storm is waiting for them. Those people made Qi Shiqi angry.
Seeing the girl busy tidying up, Tian Minyan was leaning on the couch, reading a book. After a while, the girl outside came in and said that Concubine Yao came to visit the young lady.
Yao's concubine? Tian Minyan blinked and then remembered that it was the second prince's concubine, Yao Yuying.
She straightened her clothes and said, "Invite her in."
Yao Yuying came in quickly, followed by a girl, holding a red lacquered wooden box carved with begonia flowers.
Tian Minyan stood up with a smile to greet her and asked, "Why is Concubine Yao here?"
Concubine!
Yao Yuying's expression changed, and she said with a stiff face: "I heard that Mr. Huimin County was injured. I am here to visit on behalf of my father. Are you okay?"
"Very good." Tian Minyan gave up her seat, Jixiang served two cups of tea, and left. Yao Yuying waved her hand, and the girl she followed also went out, leaving only two people in the tent.
The huge camp was a little quiet for a while. Only some noisy sounds could be heard outside. Tian Minyan raised her eyes and saw Yao Yuying looking straight at her, so she smiled and said, "Concubine Yao has something to say?"
Yao Yuying looked at her intently and said after a while: "Is it an accidental coincidence?"
Tian Minyan raised her eyebrows and said, "I don't understand what the concubine means."
"You and him came back together by accident or coincidence, right? It's not..."
"It's not what?" Tian Minyan interrupted her and said, "It's not that I went to rescue this county king specifically to act like that in front of everyone? Or, Qi Qi doesn't like me."
Yao Yuying's expression changed, her hands suddenly clenched, and the handkerchief she held was twisted into a ball.
"Yes or no, it's not Concubine Yao's place to ask. Why did Concubine Yao forget her identity?" Tian Minyan glanced at the handkerchief she was wringing, and sighed: "You are already the concubine of the second prince.
The concubine is a member of the royal family. She has a jade plate and a gold book, and is also listed in the ancestral genealogy. Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for the concubine to ask these questions? What would happen if the second prince knew about this? "
After hearing this, Yao Yuying turned pale and blurted out: "You are not worthy of him!"
"I'm not worthy! Is Concubine Yao worthy?" Tian Minyan looked at her sharply and shouted one by one: "Concubine Yao!"
Yao Yuying clenched her fists, her chest kept rising and falling, and said unwillingly: "I have liked him since I was ten years old. For him, I worked hard to become the most talented woman and the most beautiful woman, for..."
"Stop!" Tian Minyan waved her hand and said: "Concubine Yao, I am not interested in what you are saying. I just want to remind you that no matter what you have been in the past, you are now a married woman. This alone, you are already a married woman.
You don’t deserve it! Don’t talk about doing this for him. No one asked you to do this, and no one forced you. You don’t seem to understand the fact that if Qi Qi really likes you, he will do the same even if you don’t do anything.
Please marry you."
Yao Yuying's lips even turned white, and she trembled and said, "Even if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be worthy of him."
"Only we know whether we are worthy or not. Concubine Yao, only you know whether the shoes are suitable or not. Not to mention that Prince Xian and I have nothing at present. He saved me. If we really have a chance to get along in the future,
If he is not suitable for me, if he is not the beloved in my heart, no matter who he is, I will not care about him." Tian Minyan said indifferently.
Yao Yuying's face turned ugly and she sneered: "Huimin County Lord, dare you say that you are not moved at all?"
"My heart is moved because he is worthy, because of who he is, not his identity or his halo." Tian Minyan looked at her, with a slight curl of the corners of her mouth, and said: "And the only thing he is interested in is
This is who I am.”
Yao Yuying stood up suddenly, her body was shaky, and she was biting her lip.
"Concubine Yao seems to be in poor health. It's better to go back and rest." Tian Minyan lowered her eyelids and said: "Concubine Yao has become a concubine, so she should be clear about her identity."
"Thank you, Mr. Huimin County, for reminding me." Yao Yuying flicked her handkerchief and turned to leave.
After leaving Tian Minyan's tent, she saw Qi Shiqi walking towards her from a distance. Her eyes lit up, her heart was pounding, and she quickly stepped aside.
Qi Shiqi walked to the account, and Ji Xiang, who was outside the account, went to report. After a while, Qi Shiqi walked in with him, and soon the sound of talking could be heard inside.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't even look at her. On the other hand, coming here was like being in a deserted place, and the girl and mother-in-law seemed to be used to it.
Until now, could she still deceive herself and say that it was just a coincidence? Listening to Qi Shiqi's loving and reproachful voice, Yao Yuying's face turned deathly white.
"Empress, are you okay? Your face looks so bad." The girl next to her asked, carefully supporting her.
Yao Yuying shook her head and said, "Go back."
In the tent, Tian Minyan looked at Qi Qiqi angrily and said, "Why are you here at this time? There are rumors outside that I am relying on you, but you still come to see me blatantly. I don't care, now my reputation is bad, you have to take responsibility
, you have to marry me."
Qi Shiqi gave her a shudder and said, "Is there anyone who talks like that?"
"Anyway, people say I'm shameless." Tian Minyan snorted and pouted, with a very cute and cute expression.
Qi Shiqi frowned and said: "Don't think about the things that are available and not available. When this matter is over, I will ask the emperor for permission to marry."
Ji Xiang, who was waiting on the side, his eyes suddenly brightened up after hearing this, and he hurriedly ran out to report the gossip.
When Tian Minyan saw it, she shook her head and sighed: "My girl is afraid that you won't admit it."
Seeing that there was no one around, Qi Shiqi pecked her lips and teased with a smile: "What will you do if you don't admit it?"
"What else can I do? Let's go find another one. Anyway, I am an innocent young lady, so I'm afraid I won't be able to find a husband?" Tian Minyan shrugged.
Qi Shiqi's face darkened: "How dare you!"
Tian Minyan giggled, leaned forward and hugged his neck, and said with a smile: "If you don't want me, leave now, I won't send you away. If you want me, I'll wait."
Qi Shiqi was immediately pleased, grabbed her waist and kissed her.
After the kiss, he said seriously: "I will be busy in the next few days, so I may not be able to see you. There will be Chinese New Year in a few days. You take good care of yourself, okay?"
Tian Minyan's heart tightened, she looked at him and said, "Have you decided to take action?"
Qi Shiqi raised the corners of his lips coldly and said: "This mouse has had enough fun. I have no interest in playing this cat and mouse game with them anymore. It's only because they touched my back."
Tian Minyan sighed and said, "Be careful."
"Wait for me." Qi Shiqi kissed her lips again and said happily.
"Well, I'll wait for you."
"Miss, the eldest young master and Mr. Liu are here to see you." Qingzhi's voice sounded outside.
Qi Shiqi frowned and said, "That boy from Liu Fuyin's family? Why do you always come here? That boy looks at you wrong."
The corners of Tian Minyan's lips twitched, she reached out and slapped him, and said angrily: "You asked the secret guard to send you a message again, damn it." Although she was scolded, she didn't mean to be angry.
After yesterday, she realized that he had already placed a shadow beside her. No wonder sometimes she always felt like someone was watching her. It turned out to be because of this.
Qi Qi Shiqi was a little embarrassed, and left after explaining a few words, but thinking in his heart, it seemed that he had to deal with these troublesome things quickly, so as to save this girl from causing trouble everywhere.
Tian Minyan watched her leave, thinking of Liu Ruyu, that gentle child. Needless to say, she would know what was going on with the imperial edict of marriage. Thinking of this, she trimmed her hair and walked out.
