Little Cardamom - Chapter 50

The sun was scorching at noon, the leaves were sun-drenched green, and the cicadas on the branches were constantly chirping, exuding the lazy atmosphere of midsummer.

In the palace, many people were drowsy, but the tea room was not as busy as the other places. They had to wait for the masters to drink tea and water all the time. Although they were sleepy, they couldn’t avoid it.

The two little girls were playing palm-leaf fans by the stove, when someone in front suddenly said that His Highness had returned, one of the girls hurriedly got up and went into the house to deliver tea, but after a while, the little girl came back with a face full of shame. In the tea room, the tea in his hand was not sent out.

“What’s the matter? Didn’t you go to deliver tea?”

The little girl was a little embarrassed to speak, and while fanning herself with a burning cattail fan, she muttered in a mosquito-like voice: “You will know if you go outside and listen.”

The girl who had been sitting by the stove was curious, so she got up and left the tea room.

When it came to the entrance of the main house, there was an unexpected low moaning sound from inside, mixed with heavy panting, oh my god, it’s broad daylight! The little girl’s head buzzed, her face suddenly became hot, and she hurried back to the tea room.

There was silence everywhere, only the boiling hot water on the stove was boiling, the cicadas on the treetops were making noise, the two little girls were blushing and flapping their fans, no one said a word, but they all thought in unison in their hearts: these two The master is also becoming more and more outspoken. Before, it was only at night, but now it is even tight during the day.

In fact, Ming Tan didn’t expect that Jiang Xu would dare to do such a thing by her during the day.

It doesn’t matter on weekdays and nights, but in this day and night, everything can be seen clearly, which is really embarrassing. She bit her lip and didn’t dare to make a sound, but Jiang Xu had a dark heart and always moved in a leisurely manner. When she got used to being undefended, he deliberately hit him hard, making her have to break and make a sound.

…

It continued until the sun was setting.

Bunches of golden sunset sun cast in from the window lattice, revealing a hazy halo.

Ming Tan’s body was soaked in sweat and was sticky and greasy, he was already exhausted and had no strength left.

She was taken to the quiet room to use the backwater, and when she returned to the bed, the maidservant who came to change the brocade quilt was about to leave. They all buried their heads very low, but their ears were so red, it was obvious that they had seen the bed on those Huan. The messy marks after love are a bit embarrassing.

Everyone knows about doing this kind of thing during the day.

Ming Tan was so ashamed and indignant that when he got off the couch, he rolled himself up in the brocade quilt, retreated into a corner, and forgot about Concubine Lan for a moment.

Jiang Xu finished changing his clothes refreshedly, looked at the long one who was huddled inside the bed, and asked, “You don’t need dinner?” His voice was low and hoarse, with a bit of careless satisfaction.

Ming Tan shook his head, and replied two words in a very low voice: “Not hungry.”

Jiang Xu didn’t force it: “I’m not hungry, so you rest. I’ll go to the study first.”

You are not hungry, of course you are not!

Ming Tan slandered while biting the corner of the quilt.

When Jiang Xu went to the study, he didn’t come out for several hours. During the period, there were secret guards reporting matters, and Shu Jingran came to him to play chess.

Shu Jingran could obviously feel that Jiang Xu was in a good mood today, and he would say “um” at most when he had a lot of conversations on weekdays, but today he was still interested in asking one or two questions.

“When I just entered the mansion, I met the extremely skilled maid next to the princess, the one who rescued the fallen lady and rescued me in the Pingguo mansion that day. Is she… from Jin Yunwei? “

“Yunyi? Yes.”

Shu Jingran didn’t know what to think of, and suddenly laughed: “How can the palace treat people badly, and even buy roast chicken from outside.”

“Are you interested in her?” Jiang Xu asked unprecedentedly.

Shu Jingran was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when the words of denial came to his lips, he couldn’t say anything.

Just now when I met that girl Yun outside, he took the initiative to say hello, but there was no response from her. He reminded her about the matter of the Pingguo Palace that day, and she suddenly realized.

But it was obvious that she was only following the orders of the princess that day, she didn’t know at all, and she never paid attention to whom she was helping.

In the end, she politely asked if she wanted to eat roast chicken, but she asked honestly with her hands, she didn’t intend to give him the roast chicken at all, and she even breathed a sigh of relief after he politely refused.

This cloud girl is really interesting.

He unconsciously smiled again, but didn’t answer directly, he just said to Jiang Xu: “It’s the first time I see you are interested in these things.”

Jiang Xu: “…”

Both were silent for a moment.

“Actually, if it wasn’t for helping me out that day, the concubine wouldn’t have to suffer that kind of crime.” Thinking about the Pingguo mansion, Shu Jingran felt a little guilty and apologetic, “Is the concubine in the mansion right now? I should apologize to her face to face. “

“No need,” Jiang Xu lowered his eyes, and said while drooping, “She’s sleeping in the room.”

“Sleep?”

At this time, what kind of sleep should I make up for?

“She is tired in the afternoon, and dinner is useless.”

Shu Jingran paused for a moment. Why did he feel that Jiang Qizhi’s words… seemed to have some deep meaning, and the explanation was so detailed… Maybe he wanted him to follow along and ask why the princess was tired in the afternoon?

Thinking of this, he really asked along the way: “It’s hot in summer, and the sun is even more venomous at noon, what is the princess tired of doing?”

Jiang Xu didn’t answer any more.

But Shu Jingran felt that his question was not wrong. Jiang Qizhi just wanted him to ask such a question, and he didn’t answer it on purpose. From Jiang Qizhi’s stretched eyebrows, he seemed to catch a little enjoyment.

Shu Jingran left the Dingbei Prince’s Mansion when it was almost Haishi. Jiang Xu followed him out of the study room, but Shu Jingran went out of the mansion, and he went back to Qi’an Hall.

The night wind is blowing, and the dark fragrance is floating.

When he returned to Qi’an Hall, Jiang Xu stopped outside the house and asked Su Xin: “Can the concubine eat something?”

Su Xin respectfully replied: “I haven’t eaten yet, and the concubine hasn’t gotten up yet. Does Your Highness need some supper?”

“Alright,” Jiang Xu nodded, “Be prepared.”

“yes.”

Su Xin understood, turned towards Jiang Xu’s back as he entered the house, blessed Fushen, and hurried to the kitchen to prepare supper.

She asked someone to prepare some of Jiang Xu’s favorite dishes, and specially prepared some of Ming Tan’s favorite ones.

When Ming Tan was dug up by Jiang Xu to eat, his eyes were sleepy and he was a little dazed.

She didn’t want to eat at first, so she was pushed softly by Jiaolalan twice, Jiang Xu didn’t call anymore, but ordered someone to put the supper beside the bed, and after a while, the scent of small scallion wontons went straight to her. Drilling in the nose, sleepy can’t help being woken up a lot.

After a while, her appetite overcame her drowsiness, she sat up, rubbed to the edge of the bed, and sat side by side with Jiang Xu, her little jade feet swaying slightly.

Because she just woke up, she was a little dazed and didn’t want to talk, so she quietly stared at the little wontons on the table, she was as cute as a baby, very cute.

Seeing her staring at the little wonton, Jiang Xu calmly put the wonton in front of her.

But who would have thought that she would blurt out: “Husband, hello.”

Jiang Xu paused.

Su Xin, who was at the side of Bu Shan, couldn’t help but pursed her lips and snickered, and stepped back wisely.

Ming Tan made this sound because she had just woken up and didn’t think about it. After she finished speaking, she reacted slowly.

But when she realized it, Jiang Xu was silent, suddenly hugged her on his lap and sat on his side, and scooped up the small wonton slightly unfamiliarly, and fed it to her lips.

Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, and ate.

Immediately after the second scoop, the third scoop…

Wontons are salty, but Ming Tan unconsciously has a hint of sweetness in his heart. After she was full, she gently hugged Jiang Xu, rubbed into his arms, and whispered coquettishly: “Husband, you treat Ah Tan very well.”

Jiang Xu put down the porcelain spoon.

In fact, he didn’t understand why he would do this. He clearly felt that the princess he married was cumbersome and tiresome. It was best not to have any communication other than sex, but sometimes he always hinted to himself that both married If you miss her, you should treat her better, but it’s just a small request, and it doesn’t matter if you agree.

She slid down a little, he picked her up, lingered on her neck, and asked in a low voice: “Do you want to go to Yongchun Garden to escape the summer heat?”

“Yongchun Garden?” Ming Tan hurriedly raised his face, nodded with bright eyes, “Today, the empress also said that she will go to Yongchun Garden to escape the summer heat in half a month, and she also said that the Holy Majesty has reserved a place for you so that we can be free. Let’s go live together, I was going to tell you at noon, it’s all your fault…”

She was thin-skinned, she didn’t finish her sentence, and when she thought about the embarrassing person, her body became inexplicably hot again.

Jiang Xu didn’t feel embarrassed at all, as if he didn’t do all the things at noon, he pondered for a moment and replied: “Then I will take you to Yongchun Garden to escape the summer heat.”

“it is good.”

Speaking of Yongchun Garden, Ming Tan finally remembered about Concubine Lan. She got tired of Jiang Xu for a while, and suddenly asked: “By the way, sir, are you familiar with Concubine Lan in the palace?”

“Concubine Lan? I’m still familiar.”

“What does it mean to be familiar?”

“When she was young, she was accompanied by the princess and studied together.”

“Oh, childhood sweetheart.”

Jiang Xu was completely unaware of the jealousy of the little princess in his arms, and thought about it: “Her grandfather was my father’s mentor and took good care of me when I was young. When my father was around, he even intended to marry the two families.”

There is such a source.

“Then why not?”

Jiang Xu didn’t answer, but Ming Tan felt speechless after asking. you still need to ask? Naturally, it was because his father died soon, and he would not be the grandson of the emperor soon either!

She hurriedly changed the subject: “What does your husband think of Concubine Lan?”

“How about what?”

“It’s just…does your husband think there is something good about her?”

“Good talent.”

Hearing Jiang Xu’s praise of other women’s talents, Ming Tan felt sour in his heart: “Then, then me or Empress Lan… who do you think is better?”

Jiang Xu felt that the question was inappropriate: “What are you asking, is someone gossiping?”

Ming Tan didn’t answer.

“This king and Concubine Lan are only acquainted with each other, there is nothing else. The one who studied together at the beginning was the Holy One.”

“Oh.”

In fact, even a concubine like Mrs. Jia who has just entered the palace can find out about the past of Concubine Lan. Ming Tan knew that her husband and Concubine Lan should have nothing to do. She thought to herself, after all it was different.

Hearing his explanation now, Ming Tan felt much relieved. He put his arms around his neck and whispered Xiao Hei like in his ear: “Today in the palace, Concubine Shu is soliciting disputes. Hint me, what’s the matter between your husband and Concubine Lan.”

Concubine Shu?

very good.

“Also, the husband hasn’t answered my question yet. Since the husband thinks that Concubine Lan is very talented, if the concubine Lan has not entered the palace, would the husband want to marry her? I am
