The snowball thrown by Zhao Man missed Tang Ning's head by half a foot, and accurately hit the head of Xiao Jue, who was following him as he climbed the wall to peek.
"Who is so short-sighted..." Xiao Jue wiped the snow from his eyebrows. When he saw the figures in the courtyard, the anger on his face melted like ice and snow in an instant, and he praised: "The princess's hits are really accurate...
"
Tangning climbed over the wall, looked at the guards busy in the courtyard, and asked in surprise: "Princess, why are you here?"
Zhao Man looked at him and said matter-of-factly: "This is my home, why can't I be here?"
Tangning was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Is this... your home?"
Zhao Man looked at him and asked, "I don't have to live in the palace anymore. This is the house I bought, okay?"
Tangning nodded and said, "Okay."
Chen Huanghui allowed her to leave the palace and open a mansion, which was a bit unexpected, but it does not rule out that he felt guilty for Zhao Yingying and wanted to make up for it in the last period of time.
Tang Ning discovered a long time ago that the emperor of the Chen Kingdom was not actually a decisive emperor. He could not be a cold-blooded emperor, but he could not be a father who loved and cared for his children. Regardless of his status as an emperor,
He is no different from ordinary people.
However, if the princess opens a mansion, she can open a mansion. As long as she doesn’t live in Tang Mansion, she can live anywhere.
"Princess, please continue your work, I'm going back." He turned around and looked around, then returned to his yard.
Zhao Man stood in the courtyard, gently brushing the snowflakes from her hair, looking at the place separated by a wall, with a little melancholy in her eyes.
Xiao Jue stood in the yard, looked at Tang Ning, and asked in surprise, "Why is Princess Pingyang here?"
Tang Ning explained: "His Majesty allowed her to leave the house, so she bought the house."
Xiao Jue thought for a while and asked: "There are so many houses in the capital, why did she buy this one? If I remember correctly, this house originally had an owner, right? There are so many palaces and gardens in the royal family that she can't live in."
,Why do we live next door to your house?"
"You ask me how I know?" Tangning glanced at him and said, "If you are really curious, why don't you ask the princess yourself?"
He was also curious that Zhao Man would move here. Maybe it was because of the good feng shui here, or maybe she just liked it here. The person named Xiao was almost twenty years old. He had nothing to do with marrying his wife. He cared about such trivial matters all day long. He deserved to be single.
!
Xiao Jue looked at him, his eyes stayed on him for a long time, and asked: "If we are friends, just tell me, what is the relationship between you and the princess?"
"The princess is a princess, and I am me, what relationship do we have?" Tangning glanced at him and asked, "What do you think about in your dirty mind all day long?"
Xiao Jue looked at him and said seriously: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. The princess is going to the Chu Kingdom to get married. You must not cause any trouble."
Tang Ning could no longer understand what was going on in Xiao Jue's dirty mind. She glanced at him and said, "Do you think, if it's really what you think, I will sit in the pavilion with you and bake steamed buns?"
Xiao Jue thought for a while, and felt that what he said made sense, and nodded: "Yes, if that were true, the Chu State envoy would have been killed by you long ago, and maybe even the Chu State Crown Prince would have been killed by you..." They
They are all living well now, so it shouldn’t be the case.”
Generally speaking, what a dirty person thinks about is a true reflection of his dirty heart. Tangning wondered whether Xiao Jue's psychology had been distorted to some extent due to physical defects in the past ten years or so.
, will always use impure thoughts to speculate on others.
But to be honest, he could understand that Zhao Man wanted to move out of the cage-like palace and live a carefree and free time before leaving. But why did she want to move next door to his house? Was it because she wanted to earn a living?
?
Let's ignore Zhao Man's matters. There are still ten days left before Shangyuan, and it is also the last ten days of his vacation. Yesterday, he made an agreement with Xiao Ru Xiaoyi and Tang Yaoyao to go to the mountains to play today.
The snow in the capital does not seem to be heavy, but there should be a thick layer of snow in the mountains outside the capital. With this level of snow, it is best to catch rabbits and pheasants. Staying at home is idle, so it is better to go out and get some fresh air.
A few days ago, Xiao Jue liked to eat at home. These days, he went back by himself as soon as it was time to eat. Xiao Ru, while packing up the things to prepare for tomorrow, said: "Miss Xiao Lian's house is at the foot of the mountain. Let's go back tomorrow."
You can stay at her house temporarily..."
As she was talking, she suddenly stopped what she was doing, looked at the girl standing at the door, and asked: "Girl, who are you looking for?"
Tangning turned around and saw Zhao Man, who was wrapped like a bear, standing at the door.
"You must be Mrs. Tang." Zhao Man stepped forward and said, "I am your new neighbor..."
Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi were surprised by this neighbor who suddenly visited. The previous owner of the house next door had never spoken a word to them.
Especially after hearing about her princess status, surprise turned into fright.
The two stood up and immediately saluted her: "I have met Her Highness the Princess."
Zhao Man smiled and said, "We will be neighbors from now on, and there is no one else here, so there is no need to be polite. Your Tangning and I are friends, and we will be friends from now on."
There was a princess friend inexplicably. Xiao Ru and Xiao Yi were both a little nervous. This was their first time meeting a guest of the princess rank.
"Uncle, miss, it's time to eat..." Qing'er ran in from outside, interrupting the slightly dull atmosphere.
Zhong Yi looked at Zhao Man and asked in a low voice: "If the princess doesn't mind, why don't you have a meal here before leaving?"
"I don't mind it." Zhao Man smiled and said, "I don't choose what I eat."
Tang Ning's guess was correct. She was here to have a meal. They hadn't seen each other for a few days. The Zhao Man now was completely different from the Zhao Yingying he knew.
She used to be capricious and a bit heartless, but now she seems to have grown up a lot more than before. Although her behavior of hitting people with snowballs is still a bit childish, she is not the childish person she was before.
"I will stay here for a while longer, and from now on I will call you Sister Zhong and Sister Su..."
"This is our first meeting. This is a small gift. I hope you will accept it."
"The two sisters are so beautiful. It is a blessing that he has cultivated in several lifetimes to marry you..."
…
After the meal, Zhao Man had successfully gotten along with them. Xiao Ru Xiaoyi was no longer so restrained and even invited her to participate in tomorrow's event. Zhao Man was naturally happy to agree, "Sister on the left" and "Sister on the right".
Very smooth.
The gifts she gave were also extraordinary. The box of pearls, the smallest one was as big as a pigeon egg, and the pair of hairpins, it looked like they were made by master craftsmen in the palace.
Tang Ning didn't say a word during the whole process, and occasionally looked at Zhao Man with strange eyes. It was hard to imagine that a person would change so much in a few days.
A few days ago, she was like a child, as lively as a cheerful stream, with her thoughts written all over her face. But now, the stream merged into a deep pool, and Tang Ning couldn't tell what she wanted to do.
Xiao Ru Xiaoyi didn't have any objections to having one more person in tomorrow's activities, and naturally he didn't either.
As a princess, Zhao Man is lucky. She has been rich and wealthy since she was a child, but as a woman, she is unfortunate. During this time, she should be given more time...
