Little Cardamom

For a moment, Ming Tan really wanted to go forward and hug him, but she moved her fingertips slightly, and she restrained herself from extending her hands, but backed away instead.

"It's scary to enter the house without saying hello in the middle of the night. Your Highness, don't you know that it's scary." She turned her eyes away and didn't look at him, her voice was stiff and cold.

"Well, my fault."

Jiang Xu's eyes were deep, and he was still looking straight at Ming Tan.

Acknowledging her mistakes so straightforwardly, Ming Tan felt a little uncomfortable. After a long silence, she turned over and covered herself with a brocade quilt, and lay on her side: "I'm going to sleep."

"it is good."

The next moment, the answer from [email protected]@ came from the side of the bed Clothes sound.

...?

Ming Tan turned around, opened his eyes wide, stepped back, and couldn't help but tie a knot and said: "You, what are you doing, what clothes are you taking off!"

When she retreated, Jiang Xu just made room for Jiang Xu, who lay down on the outside of the bed very naturally, and quickly closed his eyes.

Ming Tan was stunned, looked at him for a long while, then stretched out his hand to push him.

Jiang Xu frowned and moved his elbow slightly.

injured?

Ming Tan let go subconsciously, and moved his eyes to the wound.

"When I attacked Suiyang City, my left hand fractured. The condition of the frontier was limited, and the wound was treated poorly, so it hasn't healed yet. But now it's fine, so you don't have to worry." He closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"..."

Who asked him? No, who is worried?

Ming Tan was about to refute, when Jiang Xu said again: "Actually, when I was ambushed earlier, the arrow was only half an inch away from the mouth, which was much more serious than the injury to the left hand, but it's okay, after all, I came back alive as you wished. .”

"..."

How can she go on?

After a long while, she silently moved to the side, silently acquiescing to him occupying half of the bed.

Jiang Xu never opened his eyes, but curled up his lips almost imperceptibly in the darkness.

…

A night without dreams.

Ming Tan couldn't fall asleep at first, but for some reason, after Jiang Xu lay beside her, she fell asleep unconsciously after a while.

When she woke up, there was no one beside her, the bed was cool and there was no warmth left, if it wasn't for the sleepy folds on the brocade quilt, she almost thought that last night was just a too real dream.

Hearing the commotion in the room, Su Xin and Lu E quickly entered the room and waited for Ming Tan to wash and get up.

Both of them had cheerful smiles on their faces, Ming Tan was inexplicable: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, the young lady and the prince are reconciled, we are also happy for you as slaves." Lue said cleverly.

Ming Tan paused and snatched the belt from her hand: "Who said I'm reconciled with him?"

Su Xin and Lu E looked at each other, and continued to do the work in hand, without answering the words.

After changing Ming Tan's clothes, Su Xin turned around and said: "The prince is practicing swords outside, and he said that he will have a meal with you when you wake up."

"It's not that you're injured, what kind of swords are you practicing?" Ming Tan answered without thinking.

The two of them looked at her teasingly, as if they were saying——look, they care so much about the prince, and they still say it's not reconciliation.

Seeing their eyes, Ming Tan really wanted to explain something, but the more she explained, the more she seemed to reveal her guilty conscience, and she swallowed the words, she didn't argue any further, and just ordered her breakfast to be served in the When I came to the house, I also specially told not to prepare too much, just drink porridge today.

But she didn't expect her unwillingness to have breakfast with someone to be so obvious, someone still entered the room, sat down directly beside her, and brought two steamed buns and a small plate of pickles.

"Can you use some?" Jiang Xu pushed the plate forward seeing Ming Tan staring straight at the pickled steamed buns on his plate.

Ming Tan immediately looked away, scooped up the porridge one after another, and said politely: "No need, Your Highness can use it by himself."

When Jiang Xu heard this, he really started eating pickles by himself.

After a while of silence, Ming Tan stole a glance at him out of the corner of his eye.

After watching, Ming Tan: "..."

Why is this man like this? Is he really here for breakfast?

Ming Tan almost laughed out of anger, scraping the bottom of the bowl with the porcelain spoon in his hand, rubbing the porridge off the edge of the bowl.

Suddenly, she paused, and couldn't help but said coldly: "I remember that His Highness likes steamed stuffed buns filled with meat for breakfast, but doesn't like vegetarian steamed buns. In fact, you don't have to force yourself."

"You still remember that I love buns filled with meat."

Ming Tan choked up: "It's not important, the important thing is..."

"Very important."

"you are important to me."

The room fell into silence for a moment, Ming Tan put down the porcelain spoon and got up, walked out without saying a word. Jiang Xu was a little late and followed slowly.

…

Since it is in the name of coming to Zhuangzi to reconcile accounts, then this account must always be reconciled.

Throughout the whole day, the Zhuangtou steward accompanied him and led Ming Tan around the Zhuangzi, and then brought back the account books from the past two years and handed them to Ming Tan to look through.

Jiang Xu followed quietly all the time, the account book was delivered, and occasionally flipped through one, Ming Tan didn't pay much attention to him, but he didn't drive him away either.

Coming out of Zhuangtou's steward's house at dusk, Ming Tan walked forward and said calmly to Jiang Xu who was behind him: "Don't worry, Your Highness, since Your Highness has said that as long as I am the princess of Dingbei, I will be safe for a day." Anhou Mansion, even if it is for the Marquis Mansion, I will also fulfill my duties as a princess, and I will return to the mansion after I settle the accounts of the farm, Your Highness really does not need to waste time here."

"I don't feel like I'm wasting my time."

"But I think so!"

Ming Tan finally couldn't hold back anymore, this man chased him from a long distance, he was naked and showed no sincerity, if he had something to say to her face to face, she obviously gave him many chances to speak , but he was just like a moving log, quietly sticking beside him without saying anything.

Thinking about how Shu Er was so eloquent back then, she almost believed what he said, why did he have nothing to say when he came to him, won't he repeat it? He stood in front of him without saying a word because he wanted her to see through the few expressions on his face and understand it on her own?

She just wanted to hear him spend more time explaining to her from the beginning to the end, even if marrying her was a calculation, even if the emperor wanted to take back the military power from his father, he knew it and just watched it coldly, but As long as he explains a few more words in person, if he is wrong, apologize and coax her, since she likes him so much, maybe he will forgive him?

The more Ming Tan thought about it, the angrier he became: "Don't follow me anymore, I won't like you anymore!"

"No way."

"Won't!"

"Then why did you enclose Wu Hengyu in your letter?"

"That's my elder brother's own opinion, so it has nothing to do with me." Ming Tan had already planned his speech when he presented the jade plaque.

Jiang Xu didn't intend to entangle her more on this point, and asked again: "Then why did you go to Lingmiao Temple to pray, hoping that I can wake up safely and return to court smoothly?"

"How do you know!" Ming Tan turned around, his face full of astonishment.

"I also know that Princess Dingbei is devout to the Buddha. The news of my king's awakening and crossing the water spread to Shangjing. Princess Dingbei went to Lingmiao Temple to fulfill her vow and donated golden bodies to all the gods and Buddhas in Lingmiao Temple."

Ming Tan was too shocked to speak.

She didn't know that every time she went back to Lingmiao Temple to pray for blessings, all her thoughts fell into the ears of the little novice in the Zangshuge of the side hall.

This little novice is Master Huiyuan's apprentice. After the capture of Suiyang, Master Huiyuan sent a letter to Jiang Xu. Mingtan's many broken words were written down in the letter and sent to Jiang Xu. .

"The Buddha must bless my husband to wake up safely. If his wish is fulfilled, the believer would like to be a vegetarian for three years... No, it would be a bit embarrassing for me to be a vegetarian for three years, and if the woman is only a vegetarian, it will hinder her body, so I still give it to you." Let the Buddha reshape the golden body, and if the wish is fulfilled, the believer is willing to donate the golden body to all the gods and Buddhas in the temple."

…

"Although my husband has woken up safely, I don't know when I will be able to return to Beijing. There are still so many counties and towns in Rongzhou. The believer is afraid that after taking back Suiyang, he and his subordinates will be arrogant and complacent, and they will change when they underestimate the enemy. I also ask the Buddha to bless my husband. It is necessary to return to the court smoothly. The believer is willing to refill the sesame oil and repair the expensive temple."

…

Hearing this, Ming Tan felt unsteady on his feet and staggered.

At this juncture, she was still stubborn, refusing to admit her concern: "I hope you wake up as soon as possible and go back to your home. That's because I care about Daxian territory, and I look forward to recovering the thirteen northern states as soon as possible." , if you have any troubles, it will definitely, it will definitely affect morale, so you don't have to be sentimental!"

The sky had darkened unknowingly, and Ming Tan's voice fell, and suddenly realized that she had gone the wrong way, but Jiang Xu was following her, and it was hard for her to say that she had lost her way in her own farm, so Bite the bullet, and struggled forward in the half-person-high crops, pretending to be familiar with the road.

In contrast, Jiang Xu walked with ease, he always followed Ming Tan, and when she saw her denying it, he didn't forget to ask: "Then I asked the girl in the mansion to book the window seat of Huichun Building today, and I was just being passionate. what?"

...?

Ming Tan was completely unable to stand still, the mud slipped under his feet, and he fell back with a "bang".

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Jiang Xu caught her.

Ming Tan stared straight, as if asking, "How do you even know this?"

But Jiang Xu didn't answer this question, he just hugged her from behind, snuggled up to her ear, and said calmly and seriously: "A Tan, I did deceive you when I first got married, but it wasn't as bad as you imagined. Since I marry you, I will keep you safe for the rest of my life.

"Everything in the past was my fault, and I will definitely not do it again in the future. I will never put your close ones in danger again, and I will never make you fearful again. Can you give me a chance?

"If there are things that are not done well, I can change them. I like you, and I don't know when it started, but I hope that you will always be the princess of Dingbei, and I hope that you will always be Jiang Qizhi's wife."
