"Yes." Concubine Tang Hui smiled and said: "Your Majesty also knows that Man'er and Jing'er have been childhood sweethearts since childhood. I still remember that she often followed Jing'er and called "Brother Jing" at that time. Last time we and
The marriage between the Chu State and Man'er was betrothed to her, but Jing'er was still sad for a long time..."
Chen Huang nodded and said: "I have indeed watched them grow up."
Concubine Tang Hui tentatively said: "Then your Majesty thinks..."
Emperor Chen looked at the dancer in the palace and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Tang Huifei nodded, filled his glass with wine again, and stopped asking any more questions.
For the emperor of a country, speaking is an edict and writing is an edict. As long as His Majesty does not refuse in person, it means there is room for maneuver.
For a big family like the Tang family, not refusing is equivalent to agreeing.
…
Tang Yaoyao has been particularly fond of temples recently. She only stayed at Ling's house for two days before she sneaked back and took Xiao Yi up the mountain to worship Buddha.
Not only did she want to offer incense, she was also prepared to donate 3,000 taels of incense money. Fairy Tang had always been stingy with others, so her willingness to donate so much this time was beyond Tang Ning's expectations.
Not only was she generous to the temple, but she also suddenly became generous to Xiu'er.
She gave Xiu'er one piece after another of fine rouge, fine fabrics, and hundreds or even thousands of precious jewelry. The envious Qing'er's eyes were green for the past two days.
Tangning walked to the yard, looked at Qing'er who was in a daze, and asked, "Qing'er, do you know what Yaoyao and Miss are doing in the temple in the sky?"
Qing'er held her chin with one hand and said, "Sister Yaoyao worships Yue Lao, young lady worships Guanyin, and sister Xiaoru also worships Guanyin..."
Tangning shook his head. They would rather believe in Yue Lao and Guanyin than in him as a living person. Human beings always like to seek the far away at the expense of the near. Whether it is for marriage or a child, asking him is obviously more useful than asking for the blessings of gods and Buddhas.
They had all left, and Tangning had nothing to do. She looked at Qing'er and said, "Let's go, I will take you shopping on the street."
Qing'er's spirit immediately cheered up and she said, "Really!"
Tangning nodded and said, "You can buy whatever you want today."
In order to take care of Qing'er's poor little heart and avoid being jealous by Xiu'er, Tang Ning decided to take her out for a walk. After all, they were all her own maids, so she couldn't favor one over the other.
"Uncle, how about this color of rouge?"
"purchase."
"Uncle, this bracelet is so beautiful."
"purchase."
"Uncle..."
"Bought them all."
…
Shopping is probably something that can excite a woman at any time, whether she is a big woman or a young woman. When Tangning accompanied Qing'er to a jewelry store, she found a beautiful hairpin with exquisite workmanship.
It seemed to have a graceful air, which suited Zhao Man very well. He picked it up, and before he could speak, a figure came from behind him and said lightly: "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this hairpin?"
The shopkeeper of the jewelry store looked at the young man and said, "My guest, I'm sorry, but this guest noticed this hairpin first."
The young man said calmly: "He just picked it up and didn't say buy it. I'll pay double the price."
Tang Ning looked at Tang Jing, shook her head, and said, "Give it to him. The workmanship of this hairpin is just a little bit off. I want the one next to it."
When he put it down and reached for the other one, Tang Jing had already reached out and picked it up first, saying calmly: The one just now was not well made, I want this one."
Tangning looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I'll pay double."
Tang Jing said: "Four times."
Tangning thought for a moment and said, "Five times."
Tang Jingsi did not hesitate: "Ten times!"
"It's yours." Tangning glanced at him, picked up the first hairpin, handed it to the shopkeeper, and said, "Wrap it up."
After Tang Jing was stunned for a moment, his face turned completely gloomy.
Tang Ning put away the hairpin, paid the bill, and shook her head slightly.
The dignified eldest son of the Tang family actually played such a childish trick. He had a grudge against the Tang family, but he had no grudge against Tang Jing personally.
But he would go against himself even on such a trivial matter. It seemed that the two of them had a hatred for killing their father and taking away their wives. How could a person with such a narrow-minded heart become the heir to such a powerful family like the Tang family?
Tangning turned around, waved her hand and said, "Qing'er, let's go."
The shopkeeper of the jewelry store looked at Tang Jing and asked tentatively: "Sir, do you still want this hairpin?"
Tang Jing looked gloomy and said: "Take out the best hairpin in your store, it will be better than the one that the man took away just now!"
The shopkeeper's face was immediately filled with smiles, and he said: "Wait a moment, sir. Although that hairpin is a top-quality product, at first glance, you know that you are a noble person. We also have a treasure in our store that most people don't have."
I will take it out, just this one..."
After a while, Tang Jing walked out of the jewelry store. The shopkeeper was sitting at the counter, counting the banknotes with shining eyes.
A woman walked in and asked: "Shopkeeper, do you have any high-quality hairpins here?"
The shopkeeper immediately stood up and said: "When you look at the guest, you are a noble person. Our store has a treasure that most people will not take out. This is the only one..."
…
Xiaoyi and the others went up the mountain to worship Buddha with Tang Yaoyao, and usually didn't come back until the afternoon. After Tangning and Qing'er came back, it was still early. When he returned to the inner courtyard, he found that Zhao Man had returned from the palace.
"You came back just in time." Tangning walked over, took out a small brocade box from her sleeve, and said, "I was out shopping with Qing'er just now and saw a hairpin that suited you well, so I bought it back. You can try it out.
."
Zhao Man happily took the hairpin and said anxiously: "What if I don't look pretty when I wear it?"
"You look beautiful no matter what you wear, you look beautiful even if you don't wear it." Tang Ning took the hairpin from her hand and helped her put it on. Zhao Man immediately ran to the bronze mirror.
She looked at it for herself, then turned to look at Tangning and asked, "Is it beautiful?"
Tangning walked over, looked at her and said, "Beautiful."
Zhao Manxiao's eyes rolled up, she stood up on her tiptoes and kissed him gently on the face.
Just as a red cloud appeared on her face, there was a sudden knocking sound on the wall on one side.
When something happens in the princess's mansion, Zicuckoo will knock on the wall to remind her to go there. Zhao Man looks at him and says, "I'll go there first and come back later."
Princess Mansion, front hall.
Zhao Man walked in, looked at Tang Jing, and asked doubtfully: "Why is brother Tang Jing here?"
Tang Jing smiled and said: "I passed by the princess's mansion and came to see you."
Zhao Man said: "It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time."
Tang Jing thought for a moment and said, "We haven't met since you went to Chu State."
When Zhao Man mentioned the Kingdom of Chu, he thought of the loneliest and helpless time. Then he remembered that Tang Ning had gradually become a wedding messenger, accompanying her in dangerous situations to the Kingdom of Chu, and working hard to get her out of Chu.
When I came back from the country, my heart was immediately filled with sweetness and a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.
Tang Jing looked at Zhao Man's chuckle and his eyes were blank for a moment. Only now did he realize that she seemed completely different from the unruly princess before.
He bit the tip of his tongue, regained his composure, took out a brocade box from his sleeve, and said, "I have a gift for you. It is the treasure of Qizhen Pavilion. Only this kind of treasure is worthy of you."
."
Zhao Man looked at him, shook his head, and said, "I can't accept such a precious gift."
"No matter how precious it is, I am willing to give it to you." Tang Jing stood up and said: "Besides, I have already asked your Majesty to propose marriage to you, and we will be a family from now on..."
"Proposing marriage?" Zhao Man looked at him, couldn't help but take a step back, and said: "I'm sorry, brother Tang Jing, I have always regarded you as my brother, I will not marry you, you can leave...
…”
Tang Jing was stunned on the spot, his expression changed, and he was about to speak when his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the hairpin on her head. Suddenly, it was like a basin of ice water was poured from head to toe, making his whole body cold.
Zhao Man bowed apologetically to him and walked out of the door. Tang Jing stood there, his face ashen, his fists clenched and his nails dug into his flesh.
