Chapter 12 The Fourth Prince in a Beautiful and Bright Moon
Jian Ruonan suddenly jumped away, startling Shi.
Shi stretched her hand in the air and grabbed a handful of air.
Shi: "..."
Is there something wrong with this child?
Jian Ruonan smiled awkwardly, "Grandma, granddaughters are unlucky people. I'm afraid of offending you, so I'd better not shake hands with you."
[It's best not to shake hands for the rest of your life. ]
[Oh, the old lady's hands are all covered with scabies. It's indeed a fungal infection! ]
Min: "..."
What is a fungal infection? Nannan actually knows medicine?
Shi used to favor the second and third wives. She always said that Xilu was the eldest sister and should give in to the younger ones. She always gave the second and third wives' younger sisters all the delicious and fun things in front of Xilu.
Although Jian Xilu didn't dare to complain, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable because of her grandmother's partiality after being treated like this for a long time.
When she was little, she would hide and cry secretly.
Now she felt relieved all of a sudden .
It is not a good thing to feed snacks with the hands that have been infected with beriberi.
Fortunately, her grandmother is partial to her. Jian Xilu
has some cleanliness obsessions. After learning the truth, she secretly rejoiced.
At the same time, Min was also rejoicing. She had almost never received any gifts from Shi personally.
"This child is very filial." Shi took her hand back embarrassedly. It just so happened that she didn't want to contact Jian Ruonan. Who knows if her fate of being unlucky in marriage has changed? What if she gets sick again after too much contact?
Shi took out a jade pendant and handed it to Jian Ruonan: "Take this little thing and play with it."
Jian Ruonan took a look and didn't dare to go forward to take it.
She didn't want anything that the old lady had touched personally.
Shi saw Jian Ruonan's timid look and sneered in her heart, thinking that she was really from the countryside, stingy, and not presentable, not even half as smart as Jian Chuxue.
Although she didn't like the people in the eldest house, the old lady was more special to Jian Chuxue, mainly because the child was sweet-mouthed and good-looking, and was especially good at pleasing Shi.
In the past, Shi felt sorry that such a likable granddaughter like Jian Chuxue was born to Min, but now it's good, this timid and cowardly little girl who is not presentable is Min's legitimate daughter.
Shi was a little happy, and she was not angry that Jian Ruonan did not take the initiative to welcome the gift from the elders. Instead, she smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Take it as your grandmother's gift."
Jian Ruonan rolled her eyes and pretended to be stupid.
Finally, it was Min who asked the maid to wrap the jade pendant in a handkerchief and take it over.
Jian Ruonan: [How could an old lady from a marquis's mansion have foot ulcer? It's really strange. Let me see who gave her the foot ulcer.]
[This disease was definitely not transmitted by the maid.]
Min and Jian Xilu pricked up their ears.
They didn't want to hear gossip, but mainly wanted to know how the old lady was infected so that they could take precautions.
[Oh my God! The old lady actually has such a hobby? ! ]
[The world is full of wonders, it really opened my eyes!]
Jian Ruonan stole a glance at the old lady.
The old lady had a kind face and was dressed neatly. She didn't look like a sloppy person. How could she have such a hobby.
Min: ! ! Jian
Xilu:? ?
Originally, after paying her respects, Min was going to take her two daughters to the mansion of Duke Ping. In order to listen to gossip, she risked fungal infection and continued to stay in the old lady's room. In Daxia,
filial piety is the most important virtue. A son should not speak of his father's faults, and a daughter should not speak of her mother's adultery. Even if Shi was not good to the first wife's family, Min and Jian Zhang could not discuss it casually.
It was the first time that Min and Jian Xilu heard Shi's gossip.
Seeing that Min was not leaving after paying her respects, Shi asked the three of them to sit down next to each other. Jian Ruonan was afraid of fungal infection, so she sat very solemnly.
After Min sat down, she didn't say anything, just waiting to listen to gossip.
Shi wondered in her heart, what on earth did these three come for?
[Yo, Shi actually likes to collect actors' shoes! ! ]
[The old lady also particularly likes to smell other people's stinky feet. 】
【Tsk, tsk, tsk, she not only picks her toes, but also likes to hold hands! 】
【It's better not to come to this Xishouyuan in the future. 】
Min: "..." This gossip sounds so interesting.
Jian Xilu: The filter of my grandmother is shattered.
【What, the old lady is so old, and she still has a lover! It's really immoral, no wonder the second uncle wants to cheat, it turns out it's genetic! The lover has a pair of incomparable beautiful feet, which makes the old lady unable to extricate herself. The lover is..."
Jian Ruonan finished the first sentence and didn't say the second sentence, which made Min and Jian Xilu very worried.
Nannan, why are you in a daze, why don't you continue talking!
Who is the lover?
Every time you only tell half of the story, it makes people feel unsatisfied.
Min didn't sleep well yesterday. She probably hasn't been sleeping well recently because of this melon.
Jian Ruonan asked the system to look for Shi's melon. The system reminded her: [Nannan, can you try to do the task?]
Jian Ruonan: [? ? What task? Where did the task come from?]
System: [......]
The system roared: [Strategy to capture the fourth prince!!! Prevent the fourth prince from turning evil and starting a rebellion, causing the people to be destroyed and the people to live in misery!!]
Jian Ruonan rubbed her ears: [Oh. Let's talk about it later.]
System: [......]
Jian Xilu and Min couldn't hear the system's voice, nor could they hear her conversation with the system. They could only hear her inner voice. They knew nothing about the dispute between Jian Ruonan and the system, and were still waiting for the melon.
Jian Ruonan: [This Tong is so annoying. It's really rude to interrupt others from enjoying the melon.]
System:......

On the other side, the residence of the fourth prince, Prince Rui.
The prince's residence is luxurious, with carved beams and painted rafters. The roof is covered with golden glazed tiles, which shine golden in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The inner courtyard is heavily guarded. The ancient towering pines and cypresses are lush and block the light from the bedroom. Entering the upper room from the front yard is like entering night from day. Under the sky, the sunlight is clearly cut, and a thick shadow falls on the porch.
The fourth prince, Tan Tai Mo, is the eldest son of Concubine Yan. Concubine Yan has been in the palace for twenty years and has been favored by the emperor. Tan Tai Mo has been favored by the emperor since he was a child. When he was just three years old, his majesty personally took him to enlightenment.
Tan Tai Mo was extremely intelligent. He could read at the age of three, write at the age of five, learn to ride and shoot at the age of seven, and could hunt wild beasts alone before the age of ten.
At the age of thirteen, Tan Tai Mo entered the army, repelled the Huns, and made great military achievements.
Before the age of sixteen, Tan Tai Mo had always been a hot candidate for the prince. Until the age of sixteen, when he was practicing riding and shooting in the suburbs, he suddenly encountered a group of crazy wild horses. Tan Tai Mo accidentally fell off the horse, causing the lower body to lose consciousness.
From that day on, Tan Tai Mo lost the qualification to compete for the throne.
After all, the prince cannot be without an heir.
The bedroom was filled with a strong smell of medicine. The imperial physician put away the silver needle and retreated helplessly.
In the silent room, Tan Tai Mo suddenly opened his eyes.
After losing feeling in his legs, he tied himself to a system, which told him that it could restore his legs to their original state.
"Half a year, and still no improvement?" Tan Tai Mo's face was gloomy.
Xuanwu System: [Insufficient energy.]
Tan Tai Mo: "What is energy?"
Xuanwu System: [It is similar to lamp oil. The lamp will light up only when there is enough lamp oil. If the energy is full, I will let you stand up and run ten miles without taking a breath.]
Tan Tai Mo: "..."
The waste system only beeps every day except drawing cakes. Sometimes it will beep and disconnect. It is really useless.
Now every time I ask, they say there is no lamp oil, and I don’t know when the lamp oil can be filled up.
Suddenly, the voice of the Xuanwu system rose octaves: [Your Highness!! I have a way!! ]
Tan Tai Mo: "Speak!"
Xuanwu system: [I just checked the background, and the fifth lady of Jinyang Marquis Mansion is also bound to the system. The energy of that system... The lamp oil is very sufficient. As long as I come into contact with the fifth lady, my lamp oil will be filled up. ]
Tan Tai Mo leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes as sharp as a hawk.
As smart as he is, he can always understand the other party's intentions in an instant.
"You mean, you want me, a prince, to steal lamp oil?!"
