Chapter 109 Mother
Chen Ran and Shen Luo both followed Chen Xian back. Chen Tang had no interest in visiting the market. More importantly, Ginkgo and Qiu Tong were afraid that Chen Tang would be left alone and be targeted by Concubine Ye and the people from the Changping Marquis' Mansion. God knows if the eldest girl left on purpose, so they had to be on guard.
The two maids tried to persuade Chen Tang, but although Chen Tang followed them back, he did not walk fast and fell behind by dozens of steps.
It was these few dozen steps that caused Chen Tang to experience the greatest social death in his life.
Chen Xian was anxious to find the Second Wife and walked very fast, while Chen Tang walked slowly. By the time Chen Tang reached the top of the stairs, Chen Xian and the others were no longer visible. Instead, Princess Jingyang was seen walking out of the main hall.
Just now Chen Tang felt it was strange. Chen Xian asked her to tell fortunes, so there must be something fishy going on. But in the end, nothing happened. Instead, she told herself a bad fortune of bloody disaster. Now that she saw Princess Jingyang, Chen Tang wondered if that guy had come too.
Chen Tang looked at Princess Jingyang twice more, but did not see Xie Guimo. However, Princess Jingyang noticed the two extra glances and she also looked over.
If you didn't see it, forget it. But if you did, you would definitely greet her. Chen Tang's ears blushed slightly, and he stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, Princess Jingyang."
Although the Jingyang Palace and the Pingyuan Marquis's Palace broke off the engagement, it was a peaceful break and did not lead to hostility. In addition, Princess Jingyang had a gentle temperament and would not bear any grudges. However, when she saw Chen Tang dancing with a sword at the Spring Banquet at the Shou Palace that day, she felt a little regretful that Chen Tang did not get on the bridal sedan of the Jingyang Palace.
Princess Jingyang smiled gently.
Nanny Yun, who was standing beside Princess Jingyang, had sharp eyes and caught a glimpse of the purse worn on Chen Tang's waist. She took a step forward and whispered something in Princess Jingyang's ear.
Princess Jingyang looked towards the purse on Chen Tang's waist. Chen Tang noticed it and looked down at the purse.
Princess Jingyang smiled and said, “This purse has good needlework, did Miss Shen embroider it herself?”
Shen Tang didn't think much about it, "I embroidered it myself."
"It's rare to see a lady from a noble family embroider like this," Princess Jingyang praised.
She had learned her needlework skills during the years she was married to Xie Guimo. When she had nothing to do, she would read books and do needlework to pass the time. But why did Princess Jingyang praise her for her good needlework? No matter how good her needlework was, it could not be as good as the embroiderers in the Jingyang Palace.
Chen Tang felt strange, but still said a few humble words with a red face. Princess Jingyang smiled and said, "Would you like to walk with me?"
Can Shen Tang refuse?
Definitely not.
Not to mention that in her previous life she was married to Xie Guimo, Princess Jingyang treated her very well. Even if she had nothing to do with Xie Guimo, she couldn't refuse if Princess Jingyang asked her to accompany her.
I just don't know what Princess Jingyang wants her to accompany her to do. Based on her understanding of Princess Jingyang, she would not do such a thing casually.
Chen Tang didn't dare to speak casually. Maybe Princess Jingyang was also looking for a topic. When she was walking down the stairs, she was a little absent-minded and accidentally sprained her ankle. Chen Tang was frightened and blurted out, "Be careful, mother!"
Chen Tang hurried to help Princess Jingyang, and by the time he realized what he had shouted, his face was red enough to drip blood.
Princess Jingyang also looked stunned. Nanny Yun and the maid who followed behind her didn't care about Princess Jingyang's sprained ankle. All their eyes were on Shen Tang.
Chen Tang wanted to crawl into the ground, his face was burning, and there was no way to remedy the situation. Chen Tang bowed randomly and ran away without looking back.
The maids Ginkgo and Qiutong also blushed. Although it was not them who were called, they were still master and servant, and they were embarrassed for their girls.
Chen Tang covered his face while running and didn't notice Xie Guimo coming over. He bumped into him and stunned Xie Guimo. Why was he running so fast?
Before he could even reach out, Chen Tang ran away. Xie Guimo wanted to chase her, but he saw the maid supporting Princess Jingyang. Xie Guimo walked over and asked, "What happened to your mother's foot?"
Princess Jingyang smiled and said, "I accidentally sprained my ankle, but it's okay."
Xie Guimo said, "How could mother be so careless? I'll have someone send you back."
Princess Jingyang asked, "Aren't you going back with your mother?"
"I have something else to do..."
Princess Jingyang's eyes fell on his belt and she said with a smile, "Mother couldn't give you a sister, how about I find one for you?"
Xie Guimo asked curiously, "Why does mother suddenly want to adopt a daughter?"
Princess Jingyang smiled and said, "Miss Shen called me mother by mistake just now, and my mother was moved. Unfortunately, she doesn't want to marry you. My mother also wants to hear her call me mother in the future, so I can only recognize her as her adopted daughter."
Xie Guimo, "..."
No wonder she ran so fast just now, it turned out that she called him mother by mistake.
Xie Guimo raised his lips, "I don't care if my mother recognizes someone else, but she can't."
Princess Jingyang said, “Why can’t Miss Shen Er do this?”
"Mother, you ask even though you already know the answer," Xie Guimo said.
Princess Jingyang smiled brightly, "You have kept it a secret for sure. My ankle was not sprained in vain. Now, go and get busy. I will go back home first."
Besides, Chen Tang walked a long way in one breath. He had agreed not to go to places with few people, but now he went wherever there were few people. Ginkgo and Qiu Tong were both panting as they chased after him. "Girl, no one is chasing you, so don't go any further."
It's embarrassing if no one pursues you.
It was easy to call Princess Jingyang "mother". How did it come out so easily? Where was her brain? Did she go out today with only her mouth and not her brain? !
Chen Tang's face was burning hot, and the temperature didn't go down.
So many people heard it, what should I think of her?
Chen Tang even wanted to find a crooked tree to hang himself on.
Just as I was feeling annoyed, a mellow voice with a hint of laughter came over, "Your calling me 'mother' has given me a problem."
Chen Tang's already hot face suddenly became even hotter. She turned around and saw Xie Guimo looking at her with a smile. Chen Tang saw his belt at a glance, which was the one she embroidered.
What Chen Tang didn't react to just now, she still didn't know now, she said why Princess Jingyang praised her for her good needlework and even wanted to accompany her for a walk, it turned out that this bastard was wearing the belt she embroidered so ostentatiously!
Chen Tang said angrily, "Who told you to wear the belt?!"
Although this was not the first time, no one knew it was him on the day of the Lantern Festival.
Xie Guimo touched the belt and said, "You embroidered it for me, not for me to wear. Are you going to worship it?"
Chen Tang, "......!!!"
Although it's not something that needs to be worshipped, it's not something that can be shown off so ostentatiously. This bastard must have done it on purpose.
Chen Tang asked, "I accidentally called out the wrong name, how can I give you a difficult question?"
Xie Guimo's eyes fell on Shen Tang's face, whose porcelain-white skin was even more beautiful than a peony. "Mother wants you to call her like this often in the future, and wants me to come and propose marriage as soon as possible."
Chen Tang said, "Why don't you just pretend you didn't hear it?"
"How can this be possible? I am a filial son."
Chen Tang, "..."
This guy is so shameless.
He had the guts to say this in front of Prince Jingyang and Princess Jingyang and see if they would agree.
This topic could no longer be discussed, so Chen Tang decisively changed the subject, "Was the fortune-teller today your doing?"
