Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Chapter 116

"Third brother, this is...?"

After hearing the greasy and crooked address of "Brother Jing", Ming Tan turned his head to look at Ming Jing with a "swish", his eyes scanned him up and down strangely, and his face was full of hesitation.

Which of your good sisters is this?

Ming Jing was also obviously taken aback by the girl's enthusiastic actions. He didn't come back to his senses until he met Ming Tan's playful eyes. No, he had no choice but to verbally persuade him: "Cartsfoot, let go first..."

"I do not want!"

The girl who was called "coltsfoot" obviously has a very aggressive temperament. After categorically rejecting Ming Jing, she turned her head and glared at Patriarch Lou, and said unhappily, "Brother Jing's return is such a big deal, why is father hiding it and refusing to tell it?" Yu Daughter? If I hadn’t been so smart enough to ask Tongmai who is on duty today, otherwise...huh!"

Although her words sounded capricious, her tone did not contain the slightest bit of complaint, and no one could feel any ill feeling at all. I just felt that she was just a bit of a young lady's temper, and instead added a bit of pampering and cuteness out of thin air.

Apparently, the Lou Patriarch liked this the most. Even if his daughter complained in public, he just smiled helplessly. The indifference he had just faced with Rong Tan and the two faded away, and he said softly to his daughter: "Okay, okay, it's all done by the father." No, this is Dong’er’s apology.”

"It's almost there!"

The little girl raised her head, accepted her father's apology with satisfaction, then turned her head to look at Ming Tan and Lin Shurong who were beside her, and finally she was willing to let go of the hands that had been embracing Ming Jing, and bowed down to them Fuli, "Little girl Lou Coltsfoot, I have met two distinguished guests."

Lin Shurong returned the salute, while Ming Tan only nodded at the other party because he needed to keep his identity in mind, and then turned his gaze to the third brother, full of gossip.

"Cough. Tan'er..."

Ming Jing felt uncomfortable at her glance, coughed lightly, and was about to say something, but Lou Kuisong came up to him again, took his arm affectionately, and asked in a worried tone: "Brother Jing this time Come back, but the leg disease relapsed?"

"Yes. Whenever it rains continuously or the weather is cold, I always feel pain." Hearing her mention of business, Ming Jing had to swallow his words and replied instead, "That's why the journey is easy after the beginning of spring." At that time, I took the liberty to come here to disturb..."

This is an excuse discussed by the group before they came: one is to cover up the emperor's poisoning and avoid leaking the news; the other is that in the past few years, Mingjing's leg disease has indeed recurred frequently, and last winter he even used hot compresses It doesn't work very well, you can only endure the pain with willpower alone, it really can't be regarded as deceiving Baicao Valley.

"Well, that's what it is."

Lou Kuantong blinked her eyes, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, until Ming Jing almost couldn't help asking her what she was thinking, then she heard the girl slowly say: "Chi pulse is weak and weak, mostly caused by the cold and dampness in the lower burn; Cold evil and damp evil accumulate in the body, the limbs often feel cold, the joints are painful and numb, and in severe cases, it is even difficult to move an inch..."

She let go of the arm that was hanging on Mingjing's arm, and her fingertips moved away from the pulse gate, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Brother Jing, is the coltsfoot right?"

Ming Jing was stunned for a moment, looked at Lou Kuisong with some surprise, his eyes were full of amazement, "I didn't expect that in just a few years, the medical skills of Kusatsume would be so advanced!"

During the coldest days of the winter solstice, due to the unbearable leg pain, he really couldn't even get out of bed, so he could only lie on the couch to recuperate. But he was also easily called out by the other party's pulse, which is enough to see that Lou Tussaurus is so young at a young age!

"Bah, bah, what a few years?" Lou Kuantong curled his lips, wrote "unhappy" on his face majestically, and complained, "Obviously I haven't seen Brother Jing for a long, long time..."

Over there, the two of you come and talk to each other, one is coquettish and the other is coaxing, and they are extremely skilled.

On the contrary, Ming Tan, who was rarely reduced to the background board, touched his chin, his eyes were as bright as two big light bulbs, he tilted his body, bumped Lin Shurong with his shoulder, and whispered to her, "Look, third brother And that Miss Lou, is there something going on between them?"

Lin Shurong lowered her eyes, looked at her little princess who was only full of gossips, and echoed indulgently: "It's rare for His Highness the third prince to be so close to the woman next to him... In my opinion, it doesn't seem like he has no intentions towards Miss Lou. appearance."

"Tsk tsk."

With Lin Shurong's affirmation, Ming Tan immediately raised an eyebrow, rolled his eyes twice, and smiled even wider on his lips, "No wonder he has insisted on not marrying the princess all these years, it turns out that someone has already chosen him in his heart." !"

Now that many years have passed, the children of the Tian family are getting married one after another, and even Ming Ye's concubine selection has been put on the agenda by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Looking at these princes and princesses, those who married wives, those who married married, only a pair of sons and daughters in the middle palace were left standing still, without even revealing the slightest bit of wind.

You know, there are quite a few children from the capital who are interested in Ming Tan, the Princess of Yonghui, and among them there are many young men of the right age from powerful families...

However, unexpectedly, they had waited for many years, but the emperor and empress remained silent, and had no plans to select a son-in-law for Ming Tan. How could the senior officials of the clan be kept from muttering in their hearts?

The Ninth Princess has a prominent status, a good reputation, and is the most beloved daughter, but why did His Majesty and the Empress not make an engagement for her?

Wouldn't it be that she really wants to be like her companion, the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion, and look down on the princes and grandchildren of the capital? !

——These dignitaries can perceive the strangeness, as a person, Ming Tan is of course more aware of it.

After all, Lin Shurong, as the daughter of a foreign minister, has been with her all year round, entering the palace almost every day, and is more diligent than those officials in going to court, which is really unusual; and Ming Tan is also calm enough, never hiding himself The dependence on and trust in the former, and the fact that she had to take her family with her wherever she went, wishing she could become a pendant on Lin Shurong's body, isn't this obvious enough?

Therefore, it was within Ming Tan's expectation that the emperor and empress could guess.

"...In my whole life, I will always be with you, and I will never marry and stay behind."

Ming Tan smiled, held Lin Shurong's hand, and said in a low voice: "And now, third brother has someone he likes, and marrying a princess back to the mansion will also allow the emperor father and the empress to settle their concerns. "

Feeling the warmth from the opponent's palm, Lin Shurong was silent for a while, then held her back, sighed slightly and nodded, "Yes."

No matter how enlightened your majesty and empress are, they will worry about the rest of their lives, let alone Ming Tan who is destined to be different from ordinary daughters who will ascend to the throne.

In order for her to share her worries and filial piety in her later years, and for the succession of Tian Cheng to last for thousands of years, Ming Tan needs to have a blood-linked heir—otherwise, even if she wears a dragon robe and ascends the throne as emperor, how can the people of the world be stabilized?

Therefore, after Ming Tan decided to be with Lin Shurong for the rest of his life, Ming Jing, the heir of his closest brother, was the best candidate in the future who was qualified to be in charge of the East Palace.

"Although that Miss Lou is young, she is very intelligent, full of aura, and has a very pleasing temperament." Ming Tan played with Lin Shurong's fingers and said thoughtfully, "Father and Queen Mother will definitely like it, but that Lou Patriarch..." She rolled her eyes and lowered her voice, "It seems a bit difficult to get along with."

Hearing this, Lin Shurong also pursed her lips, and glanced at the Patriarch Lou, who was staring straight at the figure of Lou Kuisong next to Mingjing, the smile on his face disappeared, and the brows gradually shrouded There was a faint haze.

"Baicao Valley acts recklessly, and has always advertised the arrogance of 'not bowing to the powerful'. Naturally, I don't want to see the daughter of the head of the family get involved with the royal family."

Lin Shurong withdrew her gaze, and said calmly: "If you want to make this marriage possible... I'm afraid that His Royal Highness and this Lou girl still have to think about it."

Miss Lou Kuantong said that in order to show that she has advanced a lot in medical skills in recent years, Mingjing's initial diagnosis and treatment are all in charge of herself, and no one is allowed to intervene easily.

They came from the capital city and traveled for several days, Ming Jing who had never practiced martial arts was even more exhausted, he should take a good rest for a day.Therefore, for the sake of the third brother's health, Ming Tan temporarily suppressed his anxiety, and together with Lin Shurong, was led to the guest room by the attendants in Baicao Valley, where they were treated meticulously, and even the food was savory and fragrant medicinal food. features.

On Mingjing's side, in order to relieve the sore muscles and bones caused by hard work, he was held by Lou Kuisong and soaked in medicinal baths for most of the day, and finally came out to meet people until dinner time. His face was obviously much rosier than before, which made Ming Tan Feeling somewhat relieved from the bottom of his heart, he secretly said to the other party after the meal: "If I had known that third brother was not feeling well, I should have rested on the road, and I shouldn't have made you so tired..."

"We have come here with heavy responsibilities, and we wish we could travel thousands of miles every day. How can we rest?" Ming Jing shook his head, his expression becoming a little more solemn, "The matters in the palace should not be delayed, until tomorrow morning, you and I Let's go together to meet Lou's Patriarch and explain to him why we are here."

"Well, yes."

Ming Tan pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement and said: "I will also ask Shurong to take the prepared things... With it, I think it will be easier to convince the Patriarch."

"Okay, it's still Tan'er's thoughtfulness." Ming Jing smiled gratifiedly.

After discussing the business, it was logical that it was time for Ming Tan to gossip.The latter narrowed his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and showed a narrow expression in an instant, smiling like that little white-haired fox that was kept in the palace and well-clothed, cunning and cute.

"That Miss Lou—" Ming Tan dragged his voice and said slowly, "Could it be that she is my future emperor's wife?"

When she asked this question unequivocally, Ming Jing blushed immediately, and stared at his sister for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything negative, he just pursed his lips and said, "Patriarch Lou has always been unwilling to let coltsfoot and I get too close, I'm afraid..."

"Miss Lou looks very assertive, she doesn't look like the kind of woman who obeys her father's orders," Ming Tan shook his head, and winked at the third brother, "What's more, we are also from the royal family after all, and we are going to be honored by everyone in the world. Your Highness, it’s not like you don’t even have this kind of face-to-face, right?”

Her tone was a little exaggerated, which made Ming Jing couldn't help laughing, but there was a bit of hesitation in his eyes, he didn't express his position directly, but pressed his sister's shoulder, and said slowly: "Okay, don't mention it." These trivial matters. You and Miss Lin should rest earlier, tomorrow..." He paused, then continued meaningfully, "I'm afraid there is still a tough battle to fight."
