Chapter 4: You're Afraid of Me
"Mianmian, my mother thinks that this marriage is not necessarily a bad thing. Although you and King Jing are married by order, they have no feelings at all. But feelings can be cultivated in the future, and slowly you will find that His Royal Highness King Jing may also be a good son worthy of entrusting his life. ”
Tang Mian couldn't believe it, in just a few days, the Lin family's attitude towards this baby had changed so much?
How can a person like King Jing who is cold-faced and arrogant be a good son?
Thinking of any bad possibility, Tang Mian grabbed Lin's hand and said with a worried face: "Mother, tell me honestly, did King Jing threaten you?" Isn't it? If he really threatens you, your daughter will enter the palace now, and she will retire this doll if she dies! ”
Lin stretched out his hand and nodded her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "You kid, clean nonsense!" ”
After a pause, she continued: "In the final analysis, this marriage is because back then, the emperor was kind-hearted and always remembered the kindness of our family. Now that we are married, we should receive the emperor's affection. As for King Jing's noble status, my mother knows that you are afraid that you will be bullied if you marry into the royal family in the future. In fact, why don't you worry that you will be bullied. ”
Sensing that Lin's voice was gradually choking, Tang Mian couldn't help but hold her hand, "Mother, it's not that you don't know your daughter." When I was in Yongzhou, how did you think I was bullied? Don't worry, my father said in the world, in life, you can't deceive people and don't have to be afraid of people. As the saying goes, if people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, but if people offend me, I will retaliate with a tooth! ”
Seeing her majestic appearance, Lin laughed "poof": "In Yongzhou before, my mother always thought that you didn't look like a daughter. Now that you are going to marry into the royal family, my mother doesn't want the rules in the palace to bind you. ”
"A-Niang......" Tang Mian took the opportunity to lie in Lin's arms again, and at an angle that Lin couldn't see, a touch of reluctance and loneliness flashed on her face.
No matter what King Jing said to the Lin family, there was one thing he was right, Emperor Qian would never agree to the invalidation of this doll.
When Tang Mian was still pulling the Lin family to say something considerate, someone suddenly came from outside the door and asked through the door: "Mrs. Tang, His Royal Highness King Jing ordered me to ask, has Miss Tang woken up?" ”
Lin glanced at the door, and replied warmly: "I've woken up, I don't know what His Highness commands?" ”
The man outside the door didn't say anything more, but pushed the door straight and walked in.
Tang Mian followed the prestige, but saw that it was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid with beautiful eyebrows and eyes. The maid wore a green dress, walked to the table with the food table, and took out a few delicate snacks and snacks one by one and placed them on the table.
Entering the house with the maid was also a white-clothed prince of Jing Weishu, whose expression was as cold and plain as ever.
Lin got up and blessed King Jing slightly, "The people have seen His Royal Highness King Jing. ”
"Mrs. Tang doesn't need to be polite, you are my elder." Facing the Lin family, Gong Weishu's face rarely showed a touch of gentleness.
Tang Mian was thinking about whether to get out of bed and salute, when someone's cold and deep voice came to his ears: "Since you are sick, the cumbersome etiquette will be avoided." ”
After the words fell, Gong Weishu pointed to the maid standing aside and said indifferently to Tang Mian: "This is the maid who was transferred by the government for you to call, and you can directly find the people in the house if you have something in the future." ”
After the maid in Tsing Yi set the food on the table, she lowered her eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Tang, Miss Tang, the slave's name is Xinrui." This is the meal that His Highness specially ordered the kitchen to make, Miss Tang, please eat it while it is hot. ”
King Jing's enthusiasm was obviously beyond the expectations of the Lin mother and daughter, and it is rumored that King Jing is notoriously cold-faced and cold-hearted. Now that I see it, the cold noodles are true, but this heart is not as rumored to be.
"His Royal Highness Lao has bothered, but it is the people's women and daughters who have caused you trouble." Lin habitually rubbed her hands, after all, she was a woman in the market, even if she accepted the fact that the famous His Royal Highness King Jing was going to become her son-in-law, she didn't dare to really hold herself as her mother-in-law.
Gong Weishu bowed slightly, but his eyes kept staring at Tang Mian. Since she entered the house, this girl has covered herself tightly with a quilt from beginning to end.
"Mrs. Tang, could you please go back to the house and rest for a while? There are some things that I would like to talk to Miss Tang alone. ”
Tang Mian sighed in his heart, immediately pulled down the quilt on his face, and said hurriedly: "What can't you say in front of my mother?" ”
Lin's expression changed, he glared at Tang Mian reproachfully, and then said to Gong Wei with apologies: "Your Highness, the little girl has been spoiled by me since she was a child. If there are any rules that are wrong, I hope His Highness can bear with me. ”
Gong Weishu smiled lightly: "Miss Tang has a frank temperament and is very interesting, so Madame doesn't have to worry." ”
Hearing this, Lin's heart was a little settled, and then after silently signaling to Tang Mian with his eyes, he left the house under the leadership of the maid Xinrui.
After everyone dispersed, only Tang Mian and Gong Weishu were left in the room, and the scene was quiet and weird for a while.
Gong Wei stood with his hands in his hands, his expression was calm without a trace of waves, and he looked at Tang Mian's gaze as if he was looking at a person who had nothing to do with him.
Tang Mian pretended to look away calmly, and began to look around aimlessly in order not to look at him. In fact, she had a lot of questions in her mind, but his gaze was too focused for her to ask.
Gong Weishu's eyes flashed, and his mind was a little trance. recalled the first time she saw Tang Mian in her previous life, she was already Princess Xuan at that time. Under the tutelage of King Xuan and Queen Wang, his words and deeds are extremely cautious.
Now it seems that in fact, the quirky girl in front of her is the real her.
"You're afraid of me?" Gong Weishu took the lead in breaking the quiet atmosphere between the two.
Tang Mian blinked and denied: "No." ”
But in fact, her evasive eyes have betrayed her weak heart.
"It's good if you're not afraid." Gong Weishu knew it well, and did not debunk her careful thoughts: "Early tomorrow morning, you will enter the palace with me." ”
Enter the palace?! Tang Mian looked at him fiercely, his face full of surprise: "Is the emperor going to summon me?" ”
"Yes, my father and mother want to see you."
It is said that as soon as he enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, although he does not want to enter the palace as a concubine, but when he thinks of the palace with high walls, Tang Mian will inevitably be a little excited and apprehensive.
"Your Highness."
Gong Weishu raised his eyebrows to look at her, and his tone was low and magnetic: "Huh? ”
Tang Mian stared at his cold face and asked the biggest doubt in his heart, "Li Mingxiang, the daughter of the school secretary Li Xuan, she wants my life, is it really because she wants to replace her as Princess Jing?" ”
Don't look at Tang Mian who was speechless at the time, but her heart and eyes were very bright. On the surface, Li Mingxiang seems to be really out of fanatical admiration for Gongweishu, so he will do everything to force her to death.
But when Li Luo knelt in front of Gong Weishu in front of the public to intercede for his daughter, Tang Mian found that the school scrivener didn't know, and he didn't expect that his daughter would have such a rebellious act.
It can be seen that Li Mingxiang should be a well-behaved woman on weekdays.
Even if he really loves King Jing, how can he not risk losing his head to murder the emperor's princess Jing!
But if it's not because of love and hatred, then what? Tang Mian couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head.
