When you open your eyes, it's a new day.
It was already lunchtime that day, but Tian An still hadn't seen anyone come to serve the meal as usual.
She found that she could no longer be hungry in recent days, and would feel anxious if her meal was a little late.
Is it possible to fake a stomach ailment and still pretend to feel real?
Just when she was about to take the opportunity to go crazy, Xiao Qingheng's entourage came over.
"County Lady, my master invites you to come over and have dinner with him."
Tian An and An Wan exchanged a glance, each seeing the same thought in the other's eyes, "What's wrong with Xiao Qingheng today?"
Still in the same hall, a round table was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes that she hadn't eaten for a long time. She was so greedy that she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Tian An was not polite at all. Without Xiao Qingheng's greeting, he pulled An Wan to sit down directly.
Of course, Xiao Qingheng didn't care. Seeing Tian An sit down, he lowered his head to pour wine, ready to drink and chat with her.
But when he looked up, he saw Tian An tearing off the two chicken legs of the roast chicken on the table, giving one to An Wan, and eating the other one happily. He looked as if he hadn't eaten roast chicken in several lives.
Xiao Qingheng twitched his lips and teased, "It's just a chicken leg! You're the county lord after all, so you should at least pay attention to your image!"
Tian An slowly swallowed the chicken leg in his mouth, then rolled his eyes at him and said, "You know I'm the county lord! It's just a chicken leg! You talk as if it's always on my table."
Xiao Qingheng choked, but thinking of what he was going to say later, he quickly apologized, "It was my negligence before. Don't worry, County Master, I will ensure that every meal at the table will be fine wine and delicious food."
As he spoke, he pushed the poured wine in front of Tian An, then picked up his own cup and said, "For our future cooperation, I would like to toast the county lady first."
Tian An didn't move, not even glancing at the wine glass in front of him. He curled his lips and said, "When did this lady agree to cooperate with the prince?"
Xiao Qingheng held the wine glass tightly in his hand, raised his chin towards the glass, and gestured for Tian An to drink first. "How about you drink this glass first, and then we can talk slowly?"
Tian An was unmoved, "No matter what, hasn't the prince asked about it? I can get drunk after one glass of wine, and people with stomach problems should not drink alcohol.
If you still want to talk about what's next, then don't persuade me to drink.
Also, it's past dinner time today. No matter what you want to discuss, please wait until I'm full."
After saying that! Without waiting for Xiao Qingheng's reaction, he lowered his head and began to show off.
Seeing that she didn't give him any face at all, Xiao Qingheng's face turned ugly for a moment, but then he quickly adjusted his expression, put on a smile, and drank the wine in his hand. "Then I will do as the county lady says."
An Wan had been silently observing Xiao Qingheng's expression. Seeing that Tian An was so disrespectful to him and didn't give him a good look, he was obviously impatient in his heart, but he still endured it. He guessed that Tian An had something he wanted in his hand, so he would accommodate him like this.
She thought that as long as he didn't achieve his goal, both mother and daughter would be safe, so she followed Tian An to eat with peace of mind.
Xiao Qingheng just sat there quietly drinking his wine, watching Tian An eating with a good appetite. His neat and cheerful appearance was surprisingly pleasing to the eye compared to the pretentious appearance of other young ladies from wealthy families.
What he was thinking, he couldn't help but say, "How about the county lady follow this prince from now on!"
"puff……"
Hearing this, Tian An and An Wan, who were drinking soup, turned their heads in unison and spat out a mouthful of soup at him.
Ignoring Xiao Qingheng, who was sprayed with soup and looked extremely embarrassed, Tian An's eyes widened. "No way! No way! Prince, was what you just said what I thought you meant?"
Xiao Qingheng was about to lose his temper after being sprayed all over, but when he heard Tian An's words, he just wiped his face with his sleeve and said, "That's what you mean. Just say whether you agree or not."
Tian An subconsciously exchanged a glance with An Wan, and sure enough, both of them shared the same thought: "Xiao Qingheng is indeed seriously ill."
Tian An looked at him and reminded him with an embarrassed look on his face: "Prince, I am already married."
Xiao Qingheng feigned deep affection and said, "This prince doesn't care. If you agree, this prince will immediately write a letter to inform my father and make you his concubine."
"Concubine?"
Xiao Qingheng nodded and said with regret: "Although this prince doesn't mind that you have been married before, it is not easy to get past my father, so I can only let you be a concubine.
But don't worry, as long as you help me, I will never let you down and will always keep a place for you in my heart."
Tian An almost vomited. Xiao Qingheng was indeed seriously ill.
How on earth did he have the nerve to say such things? Did he think he had no brains?
She gave up being the only legal wife of a Duke and chose to be a concubine of a traitor. She had to help him well in order to have a place in the family.
Please, anyone who has never had their brain pinched by a door knows how to choose!
Holding back her nausea, Tian An tried to maintain a straight face and said, "How can I help you, my lord?"
Hearing Tian An's question, Xiao Qingheng's eyes subconsciously lit up without even noticing Tian An's self-proclaimed name. "I heard that An An has a recipe for making colored glass."
M even changed his address. Tian An suppressed his disgust and said, "Who told you that, Prince?"
An Wan was also shocked. Although she didn't know that the Tianling royal family had started producing colored glass, she knew the value of colored glass.
No wonder Xiao Qingheng has always been so tolerant of his daughter, it turns out it’s because of this.
She had no doubt about the truth of Xiao Qingheng's words. If they were not absolutely sure, they would not have gone to such great lengths, even sacrificing the Queen Mother, just to kidnap their own daughter here.
Xiao Qingheng smiled and avoided Tian An's topic, "An An, just tell me if you are willing to give it to this prince!"
Are you planning to start forcing me?
Tian An curled his lips into a smile, almost blinking Xiao Qingheng's eyes, "Your Highness, do you really want to cheat people out of the things that allow them to make a living with just empty words?"
What a joke! Do they really think she is a lady who is ignorant of the world and never leaves the house?
Xiao Qingheng's eyes flashed and he asked, "What does the county lady want?"
Tian An wiped his mouth and hands, stood up gracefully and said, "When the Duke of Zhao married me, he gave me a white eagle as a bride price, and gave me jewels, gold, silver, jade, fertile land, shops, farms, and countless banknotes. He even rebuilt the bridal chamber, and the Emperor and Empress personally officiated the wedding.
I wonder what the prince can give me?"
Xiao Qingheng's eyes darkened, and without thinking, he agreed without hesitation: "How difficult is that? This prince will agree to your request."
"Really? Then Your Highness, please get ready! I won't keep you any longer."
Tian An hurriedly pulled An Wan out, she was afraid that if she was a step later she would not be able to help but beat someone up.
At the same time, she prayed in her heart, "Zhao Yiming! You have to come quickly!" Otherwise, she couldn't guarantee that Xiao Qingheng would really go crazy one day.
