After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince - Chapter 99
Mingzhu hugged the pillow: “I don’t want to know now.”
The tie around Zhao Shi’s waist was slightly loose, and the thin long gown hung on her body a little empty. He stretched out his hand to pull off the pillow in her arms, not too strong, and did not move.
He sighed helplessly, raised a pair of moist eyes, and asked, “Is he really going to find Zhao Xin?”
Mingzhu nodded and said solemnly: “At noon today, she still reluctant to leave me.”
Zhao Shi looked down and thought for a while, so he had to move out his daughter as an excuse. He said: “Daughter wakes up and sees that you are not making trouble.”
Mingzhu shook his head: “No.”
The daughter is not as clingy as she used to be. She may still get up, but at least she won’t cry.
Zhao Shi still didn’t want to agree: “Zhao Xin should have been asleep.”
He probably knew what Mingzhu was angry about tonight, because he felt that the way he taught his children was wrong. Obviously, Zhao Shi himself didn’t think there was anything inappropriate, and it was harmless to fold a flower. However, in front of Mingzhu, he would not tell the truth: “Next time I won’t take a child, don’t worry about me.”
This is not just a matter of flowers. If you let your children develop bad habits, it will be difficult to correct them in the future. When you see something you like, no matter if you grab it first, it’s not good.
Mingzhu will be suspicious: “Nothing else is allowed to teach indiscriminately.”
Zhao Shi sincerely said, “Okay.”
After coaxing in the middle of the night, Zhao Shicai coaxed Mingzhu back to the bed.
It is rare to share the same bed, the two lie on the same bed and do nothing.
Mingzhu originally thought that she would not be able to sleep, but after closing her eyes, she fell asleep vaguely, having a dream that she could not remember. When I woke up, I felt relaxed and happy, and I didn’t feel tired at all.
Mingzhu simply took a breakfast after washing herself. Looking at the sunny weather outside, she was in a relaxed mood. She asked, “Is Xiaoman awake?”
The palace lady replied in a low voice: “His Royal Highness took the little princess to Taixue early in the morning.”
Not many people who read Mingzhushu know that Taixue is a place where the Pope’s relatives and nobles study, and the gentlemen who teach in it are also famous scholars. She thinks that the children will teach those gentlemen who are so talented, and it will be better than letting Zhao Shi teach himself. Better.
Mingzhu asked: “She is out of school, can I pick her up?”
The court lady said: “Naturally it is possible.”
Mingzhu thought a lot at this time, and she said: “Can I bring snacks in the school? She is hungry fast, hungry and unhappy, and annoys several gentlemen for fear that she will be punished.”
“The princess don’t worry, there are pastries in the school, so that the little princess will not be hungry.”
“That’s good.”
Mingzhu wants to go out of the palace when she has nothing to do, but she needs a token to go out of the palace.
And the token was on Zhao Shi again. After thinking about it, she went to the study to find Zhao Shi. It was obvious that she was asking for help, but she was the one who was begged to do things, and she didn’t show any timidity at all.
Zhao Shi raised his eyes and saw her. There was only a lot of surprise in his eyes, but in an instant, he was sober. Every time Mingzhu came to him, he would ask for something eight/nine out of ten.
Mingzhu stared at him generously, and said straight to the point: “Lend me your token for use. I want to go out of the palace to breathe.”
This is not an excessive request.
Zhao Zhi calmly suppressed his emotions, calmly, and asked faintly: “When will you be back?”
Mingzhu hadn’t planned to come back in the past few days. She was upset and wanted to live alone for a few days. Zhao Shi is now a lot easier to talk than before, but she still seems to like to be in control of her affairs and point fingers at her. It’s just that the way becomes moisturizing and silent.
Mingzhu’s problem of blushing when she lied hasn’t been cured yet. As soon as she opened her face, her cheeks became hot and blushed. She said, “I’ll be back before the sun sets.”
The expression on Zhao Shi’s face didn’t look like he had believed him, and he was silent for a while before he took out the pass token to her, and took the trouble to ask her to be more careful.
Mingzhu turned her face and refused to recognize people when she got something, and ran faster than a rabbit.
Mingzhu left the palace, and didn’t know where to go for a while, so he asked someone to park the carriage outside Qingyu Lane and lifted the corner of the driving curtain. What to think.
Smelling the familiar scent of pastries in the alley, she silently clenched her fists, took a breath and just got out of the carriage, and was about to walk over, when she was patted on the shoulder.
She turned around blankly and ran into a pair of beautiful eyes.
Zhao Xin was even more surprised than her: “Sister-in-law, are you alone? Where is my brother?”
There were others behind Zhao Xin, several young ladies wearing woven gold embroidered jacket skirts. Seeing that they were young, their faces were crisp and beautiful. The eyes of these young ladies couldn’t help but glance at her.
Mingzhu didn’t change her face and let them look at them: “I came out alone.”
Zhao Xin took her arm: “It just so happens that we can still have a company today.”
Mingzhu asked: “Where are you going?”
Zhao Xin showed a shy smile: “Just after Qiu Wei, I plan to go to the college to take a peek at the young man who passed the Jiazi exam.”
Mingzhu was a little puzzled and asked seriously: “What are you going to see him for?”
Zhao Xin is rare to be so shy. Her small face is like a ripe peach, and the powder is red. She is attached to Mingzhu’s ear and whispered to her: “I want to pick him as a horseman.”
Zhao Xin is at the age of marriage, but his parents have not urged him much, and occasionally she will pick someone up with a few portraits of a young handsome boy. Few can meet her eyes, this is an exception for the unexplored scholar.
Mingzhu pointed to Miss Jiao behind her and couldn’t help but want to ask: “So many people go together, are you afraid of being discovered by him?”
Zhao Xin didn’t care: “It’s his honor for this princess to see him.”
Mingzhu thought that since she herself was not afraid of being caught peeking, she didn’t have to worry about it, but she asked again: “Do your parents know about this? If they don’t look down on this young man in the future, what should you do? “
Zhao Xin is very confident about this matter, “No, they all said, my marriage is my own decision, and I will marry whoever I want to marry.”
Mingzhu Oh, he was relieved for her, but also envied her very much.
The princess is free and unrestrained, unlike her involuntary in everything.
She smiled: “I will go with you.”
“good.”
The few Jiao ladies brought by Zhao Xin kept their eyes on the Pearl. They knew that the princess was born and beautiful, and she had seen it several times by fate, but she didn’t really say a few words. Never thought that she turned out to be such a gentle person.
The tone of speech is not much the same as that of them. It seems to have a sweet peach scent.
At this hour, classes are still being taught in the academy.
The door was locked tightly, and it was difficult for Zhao Xin to get in for a while.
So she moved her mind and wanted to climb the backyard wall and climb in.
“Princess, is there too much noise? It’s too easy to be discovered.”
“well enough?”
They were embarrassed, and this kind of humiliating and gentle thing could not be done. Seeing that the princess had decided, all of them stood up to find excuses to shirk.
“If my mother knew that I climbed the wall and entered the boys’ college, she would kill me.”
“My mother too.”
“I don’t dare to climb, what should I do if I break my leg?”
Zhao Xin did not intend to force them to climb the wall with him. She waved her small hand and said heartily: “You can let me go down here. I can go in by myself.”
Mingzhu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up: “I will accompany you.”
When others see it, they will only think that the prince princess and his wife are making a fool of yourself! Why are you messing around with the princess? However, the prince is favored, even if the prince knew it, she would not say anything.
They were sour in their hearts that they could squeeze out the juice, and watched eagerly as they climbed up the low wall with stones under their feet.
Thanks to the short wall in the backyard, otherwise the two of them would not be able to get up with their skirts.
Zhao Xin jumped down first, his movements were light, his feet fell on the grass, and there was almost no sound.
Mingzhu jumped down shortly thereafter, and the air in the academy seemed to be lingering with a faint ink fragrance, which was clear and good smelling, and it was in my heart and spleen. She was a little bit disheartened. Wei Chiyu was also studying in this academy before, and he had to pay a large sum of money every month. He had to copy books for several days to make money back.
In the past, Mingzhu only went outside the gate of the academy, and had never walked into this famous academy.
Back then, Wei Chiyu should be the most serious student studying here.
Zhao Xin tugged her arm: “Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?”
Mingzhu suddenly regained consciousness: “It’s nothing.”
Zhao Xin took her on a detour. She was unfamiliar with her place of life. He had to go around several times before he found the classroom where they were attending classes. Zhao Xinmao hid behind the column with his waist, couldn’t help but crane his neck to look into the room. He saw the man with the straightest back and his eyes lit up: “It must be him.”
Mingzhu asked: “Have you never seen him before?”
“I have only seen the portrait, and the real person has only glanced at it hastily, without seeing his face clearly.”
“Oh. Do you like him because he looks good?”
“Yes.”
Mingzhu was silent. Then kindly persuaded her: “Princess, she looks good and can’t be eaten as a meal.”
A man who is born beautiful may not be reliable.
Zhao Xin didn’t care, and raised his chin and said, “If he dares to bully me in the future, I will definitely beat him to cry for his father and his mother, so that he regrets being born in this world in this life.”
When Mingzhu heard this, she stopped persuading her.
After all, outsiders can’t intervene in one’s own feelings.
Zhao Xin glanced at Ban Zhuxiang’s hour, and finally saw the man’s profile face. It looked really deep to her heart, clean and cold. When reading and writing, his waist was straight and extremely serious.
Zhao Xin looked more satisfied, and showed his tail when he was too proud.
The cleaning servant saw two fearsome figures behind the column, walked slowly over with the broom, and said vigilantly: “Who?”
Mingzhu held his breath and played dead.
Zhao Xin didn’t speak, and wanted to be confused.
The little boy got closer and closer, and saw the corners of the girl’s clothes exposed by the pillars, and his voice suddenly became severe: “Whose thief!? How dare to break into the academy! If I don’t stand up, I’ll call People.”
□□ Peeking, it’s not a good reputation to be true.
Before Zhao Xin could react, Mingzhu immediately ran away holding her wrist.
The front door is locked tightly, and you have to escape through the back door at critical moments.
The young boy lost the broom in his hand, called out loudly, disturbed the students who were writing, a group of young boys wrinkled their eyebrows and walked out.
After Xiaosi explained the ins and outs, it was too late to chase the two female thieves.
I only saw two hurried dresses on the wall.
The young man gritted his teeth: “These two female **** ghosts are really shameless!”
He has a huge voice, and he has just hurriedly jumped off the pearl of the wall. This female ghost is a little stunned with the three words, and her feet are knocked on the stone and still have bones.
She frowned painfully, and kept silent.
Fearing that the people from the academy would chase them, their group fled from outside the backyard wall back to the front door in embarrassment, panting and sweating profusely.
Mingzhu felt her ankle hurt more severely, she held the trunk of the tree to pant, her face pale: “My feet hurt.”
Zhao Xin found out that she had a broken foot, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Mingzhu shook his head: “I just sit and rest for a while.”
Zhao Xin insisted on taking her to the hospital and bought a medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Mingzhu didn’t seem to be relieved much after applying it.
After making a fuss like this, the others were nervous. I’m afraid that things will spread out, and I will lose my face.
The princess can do whatever she wants, no one dared to laugh at it. They are different. The family will only curse but not protect them. If they know that the princess will be such a fool when they go out, they would rather choose to stay behind closed doors.
People are almost scattered, Zhao Xin is also planning to return to the palace.
Mingzhu thought for a while, and lied to her: “I still have something left in the Prince’s Mansion and haven’t taken it. You can go back first, don’t wait for me.”
Zhao Xin asked: “What is it?”
Mingzhu thought about it casually: “Knee pads for winter.”
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll take it with you.”
“No need.”
“I have nothing to do when I am idle.”
So Mingzhu had to tell her the truth: “I don’t plan to go back to the palace tonight.”
“Huh?” Zhao Xin was surprised, but she reacted quickly: “Zhuzhu, don’t you want to stay with my brother?”
Mingzhu smiled: “No.”
Zhao Xin was dubious, and she also felt that her brother had done too much in the past to break up the marriage of other childhood sweethearts, and did not give her a decent enough reputation.
But a few years ago, Zhao Xin really felt that his brother was pitiful and confused, as if his soul had been taken away.
It’s better to be dead than to be alive.
Zhao Xin said, “Well, then you have to be careful.”
“Um.”
It didn’t take long for Mingzhu and Zhao Xin to be caught in Zhao Shi’s ears.
After hearing the news from the dark guard, the servant squeezed sweat for the princess, really lawless. Dare to go anywhere, dare to do nothing.
Zhao Shi’s expression was faint, and there was even a slight smile at the end of his eyes: “I see.”
The dark guard told him about the prince’s return to the house, and finally asked: “Do you need to send the prince back?”
After Zhao Shi finished writing the last word of the article, he gently placed the brush on the pen holder and said casually: “No.”
When he handed over the token to her in the morning, he knew that she would not go back to the palace.
This little liar doesn’t have a word of truth in his mouth now.
Think of him as a tool that can be used. Zhao Shi didn’t think there was anything wrong with this, as long as it could be cured.
When Mingzhu stayed in the backyard clean and tidy, sitting on the swing and watching the sunset, she suddenly felt that it would be good if she did this for a lifetime. Respect each other as guests, the children belong to her, and each has its own lives.
Zhao Shi brought the child back from Taixue in the evening, and Taifu was so miserable that he felt that the child simply couldn’t teach.
The little princess did not speak quietly, and when the beads of eyes looked at them coldly, his expression was almost exactly the same as that of the Prince’s Royal Highness.
Fortunately, the little princess talked little, and did not rebel with other children. Otherwise, the heads of Taifu and others will only hurt more.
After hearing the master’s complaint, Zhao Shi rubbed his daughter’s head, smiled and said nothing. This is just not going to take care of it, arrogance is not a bad thing.
The more arrogant the girl, the better.
Xiao Man lay on his father’s shoulders, gnawing dried fruit in his mouth, and asked as he ate, “Where is my mother?”
Zhao Shi said, “Not here.”
Xiao Man snorted, “You took my mother away again.”
“Yes. So I’m going to coax her back tonight.”
“Then you have to hurry up.”
“good.”
Zhao Shi handed the child to the grandmother, and he left the palace before it got dark.
Mingzhu fell asleep on the long swing, and the maid gently moved her to cover her with a blanket. She didn’t dare to disturb her, and no one dared to wake her from her dream.
She slept soundly, her sore calves seemed to be gently kneaded, and her muscles and bones stretched out very comfortably. She groaned comfortably and softened her body unsuspectingly.
The man’s fingertips were slightly cold, and he pushed up the skirt and found that her ankle was severely red and swollen. She squeezed her fingers a few times, but she didn’t feel right. The bone head was misplaced.
The woman who was still asleep seemed to feel the pain, Xiao Jiabao frowned her eyebrows, and kicked his painful ankle very unceremoniously, and her soft feet just hit his heart.
Zhao Shi held her ankle, then wrapped the person in a blanket and hugged him sideways.
Mingzhu leaned in his arms and opened her eyelids in a daze, and glanced over the man’s delicate jaw, thinking that she was in a dream. After a long time, her hazy consciousness gradually dissipated.
She had a strong nasal voice when she spoke, and she was naturally charming and innocent: “Why are you here?”
Zhao Shi put her on the bed and trimmed the broken hair on her temples, “You refuse to go back, I have to come.”
Mingzhu has not been exposed to the guilty conscience of lies, how about she lied to him in the morning? What happened to him once or twice.
Zhao Shi asked casually, “Why did you hurt your foot?”
Mingzhu grunted and said, “Climbing the wall and falling.”
Since he knows everything, he must also know that she went to the academy today.
Zhao Shi asked the maidservant to call a basin of hot water, put a medicine packet in it, and then took off her shoes and socks by herself.
Mingzhu wanted to put her foot away, but he held it in her hand and pressed it into the potion: “First take a medicated bath, and I will help you straighten your bones.”
He lowered his head and looked very attentive, his hands were gentle, and he didn’t say a word to help her wash her feet.
Mingzhu feels comfortable and enjoys his service. Maybe she just woke up and didn’t think so much in her mind. She said, “Wei Chiyu studied in that college in the past.”
Zhao Shi said nothing.
Mingzhu seems to just want to find someone to talk to, and doesn’t mind that the person in front of her is actually not suitable for her to talk to: “He doesn’t have much money, and neither do I.”
Zhao Shi wiped her feet clean with a clean cloth.
“But he was willing to spend money on me. I was actually… very coveted for his kindness to me.”
Zhao Shi put a hand on her ankle and raised her dull eyes: “The bone setting is a bit painful. If you can’t bear the pain, you can bite my arm.”
