The girl looked at Tang Ning. Her voice was full of unbelievable surprise and surprise. The indifference that seemed to block the entire world disappeared in an instant.
Tang Ning looked at her, cupped her hands, and said, "Tang Ning, the doctor in the Ministry of Rites, has met the princess."
Zhao Man walked out of the curtain barefoot without wearing shoes or socks, looked at him blankly, and asked: "You, are you the wedding messenger?"
A figure walked in from outside the palace. When he saw her, his expression changed drastically and he said in a sharp voice: "How can a princess show her ankles in front of a man?"
She looked at the two little palace maids and said angrily: "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you help the princess in quickly?"
Zhao Man was hurriedly helped in by two palace maids, and then the middle-aged female officer looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Is this Mr. Tang, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites?"
Tang Ning nodded, and the female officer looked at him and said calmly: "I am Shang Yi, who is responsible for teaching the princess etiquette. Regarding the etiquette and regulations of the princess's wedding, Mr. Tang, please come and discuss in detail."
Shangyi is the position of a princess official responsible for teaching royal etiquette to the prince and princess. The etiquette regulations formulated by the Ministry of Etiquette also need to go through the review process of the palace.
Tang Ning handed her the etiquette book and waited alone in the side hall.
Zhao Man had already put on her shoes and socks, but her steps were a little weird as she carefully slipped in from outside the hall.
Tangning looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with the princess's feet?"
A little palace maid next to her pouted and said: "It's all Cui Shangyi who avenges public and private affairs and tortures the princess so hard that her feet are worn out!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Zhao Man waved her hand, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "When did you become the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette, and how did you become the wedding messenger?"
Tang Ning corrected her: "I became the wedding messenger first, and then became the doctor of the Ministry of Etiquette."
Zhao Man asked: "But aren't you in the Ministry of Justice? How come you are in the Ministry of Etiquette? What's going on with the wedding messenger?"
Tangning shook her head and said, "This is a long story. I'll explain it slowly when I have time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Man wanted to say something more. Cui Shangyi walked in from the door and said expressionlessly: "Princess, it's time for you to practice your etiquette."
Zhao Man looked at her and said, "I won't practice today."
Cui Shangyi frowned and said, "No, this is..."
"I said I won't practice today!" Zhao Man looked at her calmly and said, "Get out!"
Cui Shangyi looked at her in disbelief and opened her lips. Before she could speak, Zhao Man continued: "Didn't you hear what I said?"
Cui Shangyi's face turned green and white, and after a long time he said: "Teaching the princess etiquette is a matter assigned by His Majesty. I will tell Your Majesty everything about today."
After saying these words, she walked out with a sullen face.
The little maid next to Zhao Man looked around and walked to the door. Only Tang Ning and Zhao Man were left in the palace.
Tangning looked out the door and asked, "What's going on with this Cui Shangyi?"
"This is not important." Zhao Man shook his head, looked at him, and said seriously: "Go and ask Father not to let you be the wedding messenger."
Tangning asked in surprise: "Why?"
"because I like you!"
"..." Tangning's expression was stunned.
Zhao Man looked at him and said word by word: "I swear in my heart, if there is a chance to meet again, I will tell you that I like you!"
"Although you are mean to me, annoying me, and always make me angry..., I just like you!"
"I don't know why I like you or why I like a bad person..."
"I like you, so I don't want you to be the wedding messenger, I don't want you to accompany me to Chu State, and I don't want you to see me marry someone else..."
…
She looked up at Tang Ning, her eyes already filled with tears. It was the first time that the girl had revealed her heart. Her voice was very soft, but yet it was as heavy as a stone.
In fact, this is the first time that Tang Ning has been confessed to like this. Zhao Man and Xiao Ru Xiaoyi are similar in age, but her image in Tang Ning's mind has always remained that of Princess Ying Ying, who was nothing more than a willful and willful little girl.
It’s just a girl’s movie, how do you know what love is?
But when she fell in love with someone at an age when she still didn't understand what love meant, how could Tangning have the heart to let her bear these things alone that she shouldn't have to bear.
"That's why I want to be the wedding messenger." Tangning wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said, "Because I don't want you to marry the prince of Chu either."
Zhao Man looked at him blankly and murmured: "You, what did you say?"
"Don't worry, I won't let you marry him." Tangning tugged at her face and said, "It won't be cute if you look like you're crying. Just smile. I'll take care of the rest."
Zhao Man was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Don't do anything stupid..."
"I won't do stupid things." Tang Ning shook her head. Only this stupid girl would do stupid things. Her hands were not meant for menial work. She had to carve out an exquisite dice by herself. The scars on her hands are still there to this day.
not good.
Zhao Man looked at him and said, "I'm very happy if I can see you again."
Tangning looked at her and said, "Princess is still young and doesn't know what real love is yet. You may just like me to play with you, or you may like the stories I write. Maybe in a few years, when the princess knows what true love is,
When you like me, you won’t like me anymore.”
"Then let's wait until then." Zhao Man said with a smile on his face: "At least at this moment, standing in front of you, I like you."
The little palace maid came from the door and said: "Princess, you can't say any more, otherwise others will suspect..."
Zhao Man looked at him again and shook his head: "I don't want you to take risks for me."
Tangning looked into her eyes and asked, "Princess, do you believe me?"
Zhao Man looked into his eyes and nodded gently.
…
Tangning walked outside the palace and almost bumped into Cui Shangyi who was about to enter.
Cui Shangyi looked at him and asked suspiciously: "What did the princess say to Mr. Tang?"
Tang Ning had just inquired about Cui Shangyi with the little palace maid inside. Although her status in the palace was not low, she was only a female official. The reason why she was so harsh on Zhao Man might be because she wanted to marry the princess.
The water that went out, before she left, avenged the old grudges made in the past.
He smiled and said, "The princess asked some questions about Yi Cheng."
Cui Shangyi looked at him and said: "Princess marriage is different from marriage. There are some places that need to be modified in the etiquette drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. They are all marked in the etiquette book."
Tangning nodded and said, "I'll take it back to revise it and come back tomorrow."
Cui Shangyi handed him the etiquette book and looked into the palace with still a trace of suspicion.
She suddenly frowned, slapped her neck, looked at her palms, but found that there was nothing in her palms. She scratched her neck, walked into the hall, and said: "Your Highness, if you don't practice again, when the time comes,
You can’t explain it to His Majesty either.”
Zhao Man looked at her and said, "You go out first, I'll go right away."
Cui Shangyi, who thought she was going to have to talk a lot more, looked at Zhao Man, who was smiling and looked completely different from just now. She stayed there for a while, and then walked out inexplicably.
…
Tang Mansion.
Tang Yaoyao held her chin in her hands and looked at a piece of paper on the table in a daze.
Xiu'er walked over from the side, looked at it curiously, and asked, "Miss, what is this?"
Tang Yaoyao opened her mouth and said listlessly: "Sign the document."
"Sign the document?" Xiu'er suddenly became interested, came over to take a look, and asked: "Miss, the phoenix went to Qin Tower, the clouds gathered in Wushan, what does this mean?"
Tang Yaoyao closed her eyes and said, "I don't know..."
Xiu'er stared at the piece of paper and suddenly said: "Miss, I understand. When Feng went to Qinlou, he said that the beloved was leaving. Yun Lian Wushan, Wushan, Yun..., did it mean that the beloved was leaving?
If you want to leave, and if you want to keep him, before he leaves, the two of you can go to Wushan together and have a good time and cook the rice?"
