No concubine, black-bellied princess

Chapter 86

Tao Hong's face was overjoyed, she glanced at Tang Qianqian, and shouted in the direction of the closed door,
"Daddy, it's me, Hong'er!"

There seemed to be silence inside, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

After a while, the heavy door opened.

With a burst of strong fruity aroma, a figure appeared at the door.

With a bit of dust on her vigorous steps, under the plain clothes, there is a face of no doubt about her age, with a slight vicissitudes, but her sharp eyes suddenly fell on Tao Hong in front of her.

"father--"

Tears flickered in Taohong's eyes, she let out a low cry, and rushed towards her.

"Hong'er—"

Taohong's father hugged Taohong, his voice choked up.

Tang Qianqian watched quietly, her eyes couldn't help but show a glimmer of light.

Tao Hong's father soon found Tang Qianqian, the arm holding Tao Hong froze slightly, and was about to ask a question, Tao Hong had already woken up from the joy of seeing her father, and pulled her father to Tang Qianqian,
"Father, this is Miss, the current Crown Princess—"

Just as Tao Hong spoke, Tang Qianqian looked at Tao Hong's father with tears in his eyes.After Tao Hong finished speaking, Tao Hong's father bowed and knelt down on the ground, "The villain has seen the princess—" His voice choked up uncontrollably.

But looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Qianqian's eyes were also sore.

"Get up—"

Tang Qianqian walked over a few steps, helped Daddy Taohong up,

It turned out that she had thought that Taohong Taoxiang was sold to the prime minister's mansion by a poor family as a maidservant, but she never thought that their father was actually the bodyguard beside her mother back then.

Back then, because of her mother's death, most of the guards and servants around her were assigned to other places, while Taohong Taoxiang's father went to the outskirts of the capital to take care of the manor that was said to be Tang Qianbi's mother's favorite place when she was alive.Later, when Tang Qianbi was young and lost her brother, and in extreme pain, Taohong Taoxiang's father sent his two daughters to the mansion to accompany her.until now.It is said that Taohong Taoxiang's father only had these two daughters under his knees.

Such a burning sincerity, how could Tang Qianqian not be moved.

Now that Tang Qianqian saw "Lanyuan" with her own eyes, and the old man who used to be her "biological mother"'s bodyguard, Fang Dache realized why Tang Qianbi didn't tell Taohong Taoxiang the doubts in her heart at that time.

This family has already paid too much for Tang Qianbi, and Tang Qianbi doesn't want these two girls to pay any more.

In Lanyuan.

Gentle breeze.

Counting Taohong Taoxiang's father, there were only five or six people standing in front of Tang Qianqian. According to Taohong Taoxiang's father, these people were already the entire staff of Lanyuan.

Tang Qianqian looked at several people in Lanyuan.

They were all simple peasants, and according to the art of reading people she had learned from Tao Hong, only Tao Hong's father had some good martial arts.

"There are only a few houses in the garden, and we don't have any property, so we don't need too many people. Although there are a lot of fruit trees in the backyard, when they are ripe, we can hire a few people outside the village!" On the side, Daddy Taohong explained , "In the past few years, the master has come to see it from time to time, and the mansion has been using the fruit from the garden. So, it is still lively!"

Tang Qianqian looked at Daddy Taohong gratefully, "You have worked hard!"

Daddy Tao Hong was overwhelmed and flattered, "Don't, miss, you're hurting me by saying that. The master treats me very well. I'm here, and I'm actually enjoying myself!"

Tang Qianqian twitched the corners of her mouth. Without her daughter by her side, how could an elderly person enjoy himself?
Gathering her mind, Tang Qianqian looked at Daddy Taohong, "Actually, I came here this time because I have something to ask for advice!"

The orchard behind Orchid Garden.

The red apples are pressed on the branches, and the fragrant fruity fragrance is indiscriminate in the nose.

The loose soil and thorny ridges under our feet are full of dust.But it made Tang Qianqian suddenly feel a little closer and relaxed.

"Miss, be careful!"

Daddy Taohong, who followed closely behind, let out a low cry.Tang Qianqian just smiled and waved her hands, "It's okay, I like it very much!"

With that said, Tang Qianqian continued to move forward.

It's just that Tao Hong's father behind him would say a few more words, but suddenly found that there was no sound behind him.

Tang Qianqian turned her head and saw Daddy Tao Hong who was a few steps behind her was staring at her in a daze, and there was something clearly showing in the light flickering in her eyes.

Tang Qianqian's heart moved, and the corner of her mouth burst into the smile that her mother's lips had once seen when she saw the portrait of her mother in the ancestral hall.

"You are a few years older than my mother, and your daughter is like a sister to me. There is no one around now, so I will call you uncle!" Tang Qianqian said.

Daddy Taohong froze and stood on the spot.

And taking advantage of this moment, Tang Qianqian has already walked towards Daddy Taohong with a deep kick and a shallow kick.

Daddy Taohong finally came to his senses, and waved his hands to back off, "This, this can't be done..."

"what--"

Tang Qianqian staggered and fell to the ground.

"Be careful—" Daddy Taohong strode over, Tang Qianqian only felt that Daddy Taohong was right in front of her.

Great work!

Tang Qian raised her head with a slight smile, and looked at Daddy Taohong, "Thank you, Uncle!"

"..."

Shade under an apple tree.

Tang Qianqian, who claimed to have sprained her ankle just now, didn't care about the dirt under her body, and sat down on a fairly flat place.Daddy Tao Hong looked at Tang Qianqian's actions, his eyes almost flickered again.

Tang Qian smiled slightly, and said to the point, "Did Uncle think of my mother?"

Daddy Tao Hong's face froze, wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his face, nodded, "Yes, the young lady is very similar to the madam!"

Tang Qianqian held her chin and looked curious, "Uncle, can you tell Qianqian what happened to your mother during her lifetime?"

Daddy Tao Hong was slightly taken aback, but then he sat down not far from Tang Qianqian, "I also served after my wife followed the prime minister. I don't know what Miss wants to hear?"

Tang Qianqian smiled. "Uncle can say whatever comes to mind, I just want to know what kind of woman my mother is!"

What kind of woman?
Daddy Taohong's thoughts changed, and finally he looked up at the cherry red apple hanging above his head. It seemed that a face similar to but completely different from the woman in front of him flashed in front of his eyes.

... After so many years, he rarely recalled the past, but that pretty face was still so clear in front of his eyes.

She smiled happily with the corners of her eyes bent, she whispered to him about the coquettishness of the baby in her womb moving and tossing her lightly, and the cuddling between her and the prime minister.

In the past, she was absolutely beautiful.But what he remembers the most is that when he saw her for the first time, she was also under such a tree with intertwined and colorful branches. With her frail body, she held a sharp knife and spared her life to hold back the behind-the-scenes official who almost killed the prime minister. neck.At that moment, even he almost thought that he saw a peerless female general.

And that moment of astonishment, even until now!

Tang Qianqian looked at the expression on Daddy Taohong's face, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually subsided, and his face became serious.

From Taohong Taoxiang's mouth, she knew that Tang Qianbi had never met their father before, and today this old man saw her for the first time since Tang Qianbi became sensible, but she knew she was the princess, but still used her original Li's address shows his natural closeness to her.

She could have asked directly, but, given that Tao Hong was by her side, it was impossible to tell if there was someone hiding in the dark.

This place is remote and quiet, for the sake of this uncle's life, she had to be cautious.

"This, it's a long story!" Daddy Taohong smiled softly.

"Then, uncle, let's start from the beginning!"

After pondering for a while, Daddy Taohong still nodded.

"Ok--"

There is a gentle breeze in my ears.

Daddy Taohong's words gradually entered his ears.

Tang Qianqian listened quietly, the branches and leaves intertwined in front of her eyes, time and space intertwined, she seemed to have returned to the past...

——Tao Hong's father, Tao Qiyou.It was also a kind of grace to know each other when I met my father back then.Later, Tao Qiyou served by his side to protect his father's safety.Gradually, he became the most powerful bodyguard beside his father.

That day, when his father went to Beijing to investigate the case, Tao Qiyou was ordered to thoroughly investigate the head of the thief, but unexpectedly when Tao Qiyou came back, he found that his father and several guards around him were not at the inn.Tao Qiyou hurriedly sent people to search around, and finally, seven days later, his father and Tao Qiyou met.Only then did Tao Qiyou realize that his father almost died at the hands of the wicked, but fortunately the nobleman rescued him from the disaster.

The father was wise, and he made a series of ingenious actions, echoing inside and outside, and the villain bowed his head.Tao Qiyou also finally saw that the nobleman his father said was actually a weak daughter of an ordinary businessman.

Three months later, the father and the woman got married.Only then did Tao Qiyou know the woman's name——Shangguan Youlan.That is Tang Qianbi's mother.

Because of his father's bravery against the villains, and at the same time that the prince and Yongwang were in fierce disputes at that time, Shangguan Youlan, who was powerless, became his father's weakness. After several dangers, his father took Tao Qi You sent to protect Shangguan Youlan.

For three whole years, from Shangguan Youlan's pregnancy to Tang Qianbi's birth, and then to Lin'er's pregnancy again, Tao Qiyou has been guarding her.There were many dangers in the process, but luckily there was no danger.And Shangguan Youlan was also very kind to him, not only did she not assert her status as master, she even gave him her favorite maid around her, and they got married.Within two years of Tang Qianbi's birth, Tao Hong Tao Xiang was born one after another.

"Although Madam is from a merchant background, she is excellent in poetry, calligraphy, chess and painting, and has an excellent temperament. Not to mention the family sisters, everyone in the mansion, and even beggars, they can help some. And Madam also complements the adults in many things, and what I often see in the mansion is that the madam and the adults are loving each other." Tao Qiyou sighed with emotion,

Tang Qianqian nodded, and from Tang Xiang's father, she could know a thing or two about the extraordinaryness of the woman who could make a man fall in love with him for many years, and listening to Tao Qiyou's words, the woman in the painting was even more lifelike.

"I wonder how many pairs of sisters my mother has?" Tang Qianqian asked.

Tao Qiyou was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood, "These years, the adults have not allowed anyone to mention Madam in front of the young lady, so it is inevitable that the young lady doesn't know... Madam only has one younger sister, and she is the current Mrs. Tang!"

Tang Qianqian was surprised, her eyes twitched with interest, "Is it the same as peach red peach fragrance?"

Tao Qiyou smiled, "One of Taohong and Taoxiang thinks he is smart, and the other is very dull. The two sisters are equally smart, and the younger sister is more scheming than the wife."

“How come you see?”

"When my wife was pregnant with my young lady for three months, I met beggars on the road. In the past, my wife would go down to give alms in person. Later, because I was inconvenient, I asked me to do it for you. But that time, when I was about to go, my sister who was walking with me I stopped Madam and said that the eyes of the beggars were wandering, so I can't believe it. As expected, when we were about to leave, those beggars suddenly attacked, but fortunately they were well prepared, and they never succeeded!"
