Chapter 40: Shi Family Has Big News
After Xuanwu System proved itself, its tail was almost flying.
But it was happy for only two seconds, because it ran out of lamp oil and was on the verge of being disconnected.
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, can you help...] steal some lamp oil.
Tan Tai Mo: "..."
He looked at Jian Ruonan, the little girl had a naive, cute and lovely face.
She was holding a round fan in her hand, and when she waved the round fan, a pair of pearl earrings on her ears swayed back and forth.
In the other hand, she was eating a piece of dragon beard crisp, and she didn't care even though some crumbs got on her cheek.
It seemed like every time I saw her, she was eating, and she was eating very attentively. Seeing her eating so happily, Tan Tai Mo also pinched a piece of dragon beard crisp and put it in his mouth to taste it.
[Sister Cai Rong is so nice, she is beautiful, she makes delicious snacks, she can embroider, and she has a gentle personality. Woo woo woo woo, such a young lady is really beautiful...but her taste is not very good. ]
[Such a beautiful young lady, how could she like the paralytic of the Fourth Prince? ]
Tan Tai Mo: "..."
Xuanwu System: [Your Highness, I am almost dying, please come back as soon as possible...]
The Xuanwu System was offline because the lamp fuel was exhausted before he said half of the words.
After the Xuanwu System was offline, Tan Tai Mo suddenly could not hear Jian Ruonan's voice.
[Ding——]
A familiar mechanical sound rang out, and Jian Ruonan became happy. More points were credited to her account.
She did nothing, but her points went up again.
Could it be that the Fourth Prince was attracted by her beauty? Then wouldn’t she get points every day and be able to draw cards while lying down!
Hahahaha, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is so wise and powerful even when he is sitting in a wheelchair! What a good eye!
Jian Ruonan shook her head happily, and the pearl earrings on her ears swayed, making her look lively and cute.
[It has been detected that the favorability of the target of the attack has decreased, and the points are -5 points.]
! ! ? ?
Can the points still decrease?
"......" Three crows flew over her head, leaving a row of black spots.
[System, is this your fault? ! ε=Angryε=Angryε=Angryε=(o｀ω′)ノFlip the table
【How could it be me?】The system advised earnestly:【Nannan, everyone is here, you should at least pretend to conquer her. Maybe the points are reduced because of your passiveness. Go talk to the fourth prince, maybe the points will increase immediately.】
Jian Ruonan:【......】
She increased her 20 points before and it was useless. Now she only has 15 points left. If she had known, she might as well have taken all of them.
Angry.
Jian Ruonan is worrying about how to conquer the fourth prince, and the fourth prince is thinking about how to get close to Jian Ruonan and steal some lamp oil for the system.
After sitting for a while, Jian Zhang was ready to send Jian Ruonan home, and then he and Zhang Ying went to the gate of the palace to check on the palace ladies who had returned. The Fourth Prince took the initiative to take on the task of sending Jian Ruonan.
The Fourth Prince could not ride a horse, but could only take a carriage. A single man and a single woman could not ride in the same carriage, so two carriages appeared side by side on the street.
Tan Tai Mo ordered the coachman to put the two carriages together, and he sat against the wall of the carriage. Although the two were in different spaces, the straight-line distance between them was very close. After a while, the Xuanwu system finally came online again.
Xuanwu System: [Thank you, Your Highness. I'm finally online, but I'm a little unstable. Can I...] steal more?
Tan Tai Mo: [......]
After learning that Jian Ruonan's mission was to capture him, Tan Tai Mo was a little curious.
At present, it seems that Jian Ruonan is really a lazy guy, and he is surprisingly lazy. He is curious about whether Jian Ruonan will be punished if he does not complete the mission.
As Tan Tai Mo was curious, Jian Ruonan received another system prompt.
[Ding——]
[The fourth prince's curiosity increased, points +5.]
Jian Ruonan: "......"
[The fourth prince's mood swings are so sudden! His emotions are so unstable, no wonder he turned evil in the end.]
System: [That's why you were sent to heal him, so that he won't rebel after turning evil, causing the people to be destroyed and the people to live in misery.]
Jian Ruonan: [By the way, what happened to the fourth prince's leg? Did he really fall accidentally? There is no mastermind behind it? 】
Tan Tai Mo was leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, and suddenly he became alert when he heard the words.
His fall from the horse seemed to be a coincidence, but in fact it was full of doubts. The group of frightened wild horses should not have appeared in the suburbs, and his horse was also unusually excited that day.
He suspected that the horse had been drugged, but after so many years of investigation, he still found nothing.
Tan Tai Mo clenched his fists unconsciously, and a sharp light flashed in his deep eyes like a deep pool.
But after waiting for a while, he didn't get any answer.
It turned out that the Xuanwu system was offline again due to insufficient lamp oil.
Tan Tai Mo: "..."
What a waste!
After sending the person to the gate of Jinyang Marquis' Mansion, Tan Tai Mo got off the carriage first. After getting off, he stood in front of the carriage and stretched out his hand to Jian Ruonan, "Fifth Miss, I will help you get off the carriage."
Except for his legs, Tan Tai Mo's upper body is tall and slender, and he is at least 1.85 meters tall when he stands up .
The fourth prince has a jade-like face and sits in a wheelchair. He is lazy and self-sustaining. He has no disability, but a stubborn sense of brokenness can be seen in him.
Jian Ruonan held his hand and got off the carriage steadily.
His hand is strong and powerful. The moment he holds it, he can feel the thinness of his palm, which means that he has been insisting on exercising during this period.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Rui." Jian Ruonan thanked shyly.
"I just happened to bother you with something, Miss Fifth, please lead the way." The moment he shook hands with Jian Ruonan, the Xuanwu system came online again. Tan Tai Mo was thinking about finding out the news about his leg, so he took the initiative to send Jian Ruonan in.
[The fourth prince is handsome and graceful, how could he be paralyzed? What a pity!!]
Tan Tai Mo: "......"
~
Tan Tai Mo was welcomed to the outer courtyard by the steward, while Jian Ruonan was sent to Xixiayuan by the maid. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard the servants come to report that the old lady's sister-in-law had come, and asked the sisters to go over to meet the guest.
The old lady's brother Shi Fan was the Minister of Rites and the Grand Scholar of Wenhua Pavilion, one of the inner cabinets. He was an important official in the court and a popular figure in front of the emperor.
Her sister-in-law Zhang was the wife of the minister, and she could not be neglected.
Jian Ruonan didn't even have time to drink a sip of water, and she changed her clothes without stopping.
"Fifth sister, why did you come back so late?!" When Teng Ge'er saw Jian Ruonan, he immediately stuck to her. He was sent back halfway, and he didn't know if he could eat all the melons today.
"Brother Teng, stop bothering your fifth sister." After picking out jewelry in the jewelry box for a long time, Min chose a gold hairpin and put it on Jian Ruonan's head. "I don't know why the old lady called us over."
Jian Ruonan looked at the gold hairpin in the mirror.
She used to think that wearing these on the head was too heavy, and the gold was tacky and not suitable for a young girl, but now she likes it more and more.
"I guess it's just a daily greeting." The little maid who reported the news smiled and said, "I heard that Master Shi Wu and Master Shi Qi are also here."
Jian Ruonan didn't know much about the Shi family, so she asked: [System, is there any news about the Shi family?]
She remembered that it was because of Shi Fan, whose father was over 40 years old, and the invitation to confer the title of Marquis of Jinyang was still suppressed in the Ministry of Rites.
The system pondered for a moment, and suddenly the voice rose octaves: [The news about the Shi family is a big news!!! 】
