Raised baby is reborn

The little girl's hands were soft, and there was still a smear of sweat on the palms. Qin Tangxi smiled slightly. The person Jiang Zhiyi was looking for was indeed somewhat similar to Lan'er.

Pure eyes, passionate temperament, and similar small movements.

Some people are similar in appearance, but their behavior is very different. If you observe carefully, you will find that the eyes and even the charm are very different.

But the similarity between Ming Shu and Zhao Lan lies in the fact that they have different appearances, and their expressions, behaviors and even small movements are the same.

Mingshu has grown up under her eyes since the full moon. Whether she is lying or making a mistake, her little finger likes to rub against her cuff.Mrs. Xin Guogong can't catch her wrong things on weekdays, but she can understand it just by looking at her little finger.

These should be secrets, only those close to Zhao Lan will know, Jiang Zhiyi, as an outsider, cannot know.

After a brief absence, Qin Tangxi sent Kai Mingshu's little hand, looked straight ahead, and said solemnly: "Just take a look."

Mingshu frowned, didn't think about it, secretly looked at the cold face of the eldest princess, but didn't know how to speak when the words came to her lips, after thinking about it, she chose to believe her.

"Your Highness, have you made a mistake?"

Qin Tangxi lowered her eyes: "No."

Mingshu smiled suddenly: "I guess not, it was the same when my mother was around, obviously there was nothing wrong, I must be forced to apologize."

Qin Tangxi's eyes darkened: "Is your mother gone?"

"That's right." Mingshu squinted her eyes and smiled, her big eyes were curved into crescent moons, the crescent moons on the willow tip were bright and beautiful.

It was just a casual remark, but Qin Tangxi took it seriously, remembering that he had checked Mingshu's family background before.

There are four members of the Ming family, and Ming's father is in business, running a small shop in Xishi, and his family background is average.But in the past two years, Ming's father died suddenly, and the business plummeted. Ming Shu's brother was not a hardworking person, so he lost the shop within two years.

The son was also weak, and he just married, and he didn't have enough money for the gift. I don't know who mentioned it behind his back, and Ming's mother sold her daughter to Yulouchun. After getting the money, she bought a house and good land, and married her daughter-in-law. .

Therefore, Mingshu's mother is still alive.

The little girl lied.

She stood up, but found that her legs were numb, and there was a soreness between her calves. When she frowned and held back, a pair of small hands stretched out.

Unknowingly, Mingshu stretched out her hand to rub it for her, pretending to be mature, and said, "Kneeling for a long time will cause the blood vessels to block, so you should rub it before standing up."

The tone is immature, but with a sense of maturity.Qin Tangxi's peaceful mind was disturbed again, the wind blew across the lake, creating layers of ripples, trying to avoid her touch, but found that his legs could not move.

The little girl's hand strength is just right, neither light nor heavy, which relieves the discomfort very well.

From her point of view, the little girl's soft back neck is too fair, the edge of her pink underwear is exposed, and a crabapple leaf is also beautifully embroidered.

Somehow, the emptiness in my heart was slowly filled.

She pulled the little girl to sit down together, and pushed the snacks on the table over, her tone softened a lot, with a little tenderness: "How did you come in?"

The little girl's eyes drifted away for a while, and finally landed on the golden dessert, boldly took a piece, and stuffed it into her mouth quietly, the sweetness bloomed in her mouth.

The cook in the Princess Mansion hasn't changed yet, and still likes to add some nectar, which makes the eldest princess not like to eat it.

However, she loves to eat.

Ming Shu smiled and said: "There is no one outside, Ping'er just opened and closed his eyes and let me in."

It's Ping'er again.Qin Tangxi also felt relieved a lot. Seeing her eating happily, she couldn't bear to drive her away. She felt a sense of familiarity inexplicably, "Do you want to live your life in the future?"

"In the future?" Mingshu blinked and said timidly, "You won't take me in? I can be a maid."

To be a maid?Qin Tangxi had no choice but to pull out the jade hairpin from her bun, and patted the small hand holding the snack: "Show your palms."

Mingshu didn't know what was wrong, so she spread her hands obediently.

"Look at your hands are delicate and fair, without calluses at all, how can you do rough work." Qin Tangxi fiddled with her palms with the jade hairpin, but found that there were no calluses left on her hands from piano practice.

Ordinary people practice the piano, there will be some traces to some extent, but Mingshu has none at all.

Ming Shu didn't realize her own flaws, and felt helpless in her heart. The Ming family was originally a small wealthy mansion, and they were spoiled and spoiled since they were young, so they couldn't do rough work at all.

Furthermore, she herself was originally the daughter of Duke Xin, not to mention rough work, she had never even done the work of serving others.

In desperation, she could only say cheekily: "Your Highness, I can learn slowly, as long as I can stay by your side."

"No need, after a while I will find a family for you and marry you off." Qin Tangxi sighed, he couldn't be cruel to this little girl, maybe they were too similar.

The deep-rooted preference prevents her from harming people and things similar to Lan'er.

Mingshu was so impatient, Qin Tangxi 'pressed' her with his eyes, "Stay at ease, take good care of your body, and forget about Yulouchun's past."

Ming Shu drooped her head and nodded, she had no choice but to take one step at a time.

Concubine An did not step into Luoyang City for more than ten years. After entering the city this time, she attracted the attention of the Empress Dowager and quickly invited people into the palace.

As soon as the concubine entered the palace, she was invited to the Changle Palace to talk with the queen mother.The Empress Dowager is only in her thirties, and she is more than ten years younger than the Concubine. The two of them have nothing to say, but their daughter is an important figure in this dynasty.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Empress Dowager immediately launched an attack: "The first emperor died of illness because he believed in the eldest princess's ability. If he had wanted to make her emperor, he would have changed his name to the crown prince long ago. Now that the eldest princess is in charge of the government, he is guilty of the late emperor's order. He is in Jiuquan. There is no peace under it."

Concubine An was silent, her face extremely ugly.The Empress Dowager didn't realize this, and instead recounted everything that happened in these years, even what happened in the school today.

"The emperor set up a concubine, but she threatened to stand on her own. Fortunately, the emperor suppressed the matter. If others knew, the eldest princess would become a traitor. How sad the late emperor would be if he knew it. The concubine also loved the late emperor, and I couldn't bear to see him. Restless after death."

Concubine An didn't take a sip of the teacup she was holding, so she stopped touching it for an excuse, and instead asked, "Which family's daughter is the emperor's concubine?"

"Princess Long'an."

"Then I can't blame her. Is it plausible for my aunt to marry a niece?" Concubine An smiled lightly, her cold breath dissipated a little, replaced by the patience of continuing to be hypocritical with the Queen Mother.

The queen mother was also startled, "It's just an adopted daughter."

Concubine An emphasized: "An adopted daughter is also a daughter. Your Majesty has lost his morals. If the officials know about it, there will be big troubles."

"The concubine is favoring the eldest princess." The queen mother realized that she was wrong, and immediately changed her words: "The eldest princess is a subject, and the emperor is the son of heaven. The following behavior is really against the last emperor's will."

Concubine An contemptuously looked at her and said, "Your Majesty has lost her virtue in this matter. She is just performing her duty of admonishing a courtier. As for the self-reliance you mentioned, if she wants to do something, I can stop her." I have no mother-daughter relationship with her, and she won't listen to me even if I persuade her. The Queen Mother should go and persuade Your Majesty, you can like anyone, and you must not miss your younger generation."

The Empress Dowager was speechless, her fair face flushed red, and in order to regain her face, she said again: "Your Majesty lost his morals, and she was the one who led me to ruin her."

"The Empress Dowager speaks carefully." Concubine An suppressed her smile, and her breath became a little colder.

The queen mother mocked: "The eldest princess likes a girl from Yihualou, and she was taken into the princess mansion, and she indulged in sex day and night, tossing and breaking her body, causing the whole court to be shaken."

"She's sick because..." Concubine An couldn't tell, thinking of the haggard look of the Eldest Princess, she felt angry.

After catching the sore foot, the Queen Mother immediately stepped on it fiercely, "That is, Ai's family saw it with his own eyes, so could it be fake?"

This time it was Concubine An who was speechless.

After a while, Concubine An got up and left, and the hall fell into silence.

The emperor came out from behind the screen, and he listened carefully to what he said just now, "The queen mother thinks that An's alone can threaten the eldest princess?"

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate the Eldest Princess' affection." The Empress Dowager leaned on the soft pillow, and she had a new plan in her heart. When An's came back, the Eldest Princess must have more weaknesses.

After all, the oath at the beginning was the biggest gravity that suppressed the eldest princess.

The emperor disagreed: "The mother and daughter have not seen each other for ten years, so there is no affection."

"Your Majesty, do you ever know why An Shi came back?" The Queen Mother called at the right time.

The emperor was speechless, and quickly called someone to investigate, and also ordered: "Be sure to be quiet, and no one can find out."

****

The Princess Mansion returned to its former silence, Ming Shu went back to her yard to practice the piano, and Qin Tangxi went to work in the kitchen herself.

The two were busy with their own work, and before dusk, Concubine An came back again.

Ping'er was so frightened that he jumped up and hurriedly sent someone to retrieve His Highness, but fearing that His Highness would suffer, he called the guards to guard the courtyard.

Qin Tangxi was still happy when she saw her mother was willing to come back, and brought ginseng soup into the house herself, and sent Ping'er to disperse the guards.Ping'er refused, looked inside and muttered: "Will the concubine kneel again?"

While muttering a few words, the door was closed, and she jumped up anxiously.

The atmosphere in the room was like the moment she jumped, impatient and unbearable.

Concubine An's face was cold and blue, and she no longer felt distressed after seeing Qin Tangxi's haggard face, took a sip of the ginseng soup, and said lightly: "I heard that you like Yihualou girls."

Qin Tangxi was slightly startled, "Where did my mother hear the rumors?"

"Kneel down and talk." Concubine An raised her eyes coldly.

Qin Tangxi didn't feel wronged, but felt that Mingshu's words had come true: I was obviously not wrong, so I must be forced to apologize.

She knelt down calmly, but when she looked up, she saw the irrepressible anger in her mother's eyes, and said obediently, "Why is mother angry?"

Concubine An ignored it, "Why are you sick?"

Qin Tangxi frowned, it was still hard to say anything about Lan'er, he hesitated for a while and said: "The spring is cold, and I have caught the wind and cold."

"Sicked by the wind and cold, or spending time with the girl in Hualou without restraint?"
