Chapter 416: Keep your innocence in this world!!
The word "romantic" seemed to have been played over and over again by the little girl using her unknown prop, repeating over and over again in everyone's ears.
The court officials who could hear the young man's thoughts couldn't help but secretly shift their gaze to Tan Wenhan with anxious looks.
Romantic!
Alive!!
Several people couldn't help laughing like pigs, and Tan Wenhan's body became even stiffer.
He had been an official for decades and believed that he had done his best to serve the world. However, his back, which had never bent in the face of power when he was young, collapsed on a morning that was no different from any other.
The family of the concubine he had driven away had no roots in the capital, and since she was divorced for such an unbearable reason, her family naturally refused to accept her back...
He did not take matters into his own hands, so he provided the three men with a house.
However, the motive for providing this house is not so simple.
[Oh oh oh!] Jiang Yingcheng, who had been looking through the documents for a long time, raised his head again and suddenly realized, [Grandpa Tan has also arranged people to monitor their actions around the yard~]
It seems that Grandpa Tan is not very love-minded!
Tan Wenhan raised his head straight up again.
Of course, if Tan had been able to climb to his current position, how could he be the kind of stupid person who is completely defenseless against danger? !
Since those people were able to hide in his Tan mansion for several years and were never discovered by others, they could not be innocent.
Once he was done with the matter, he was afraid that they would have some tricks up their sleeves. At this time, he would definitely send someone to monitor them.
[Why didn't Grandpa Tan ever think that the people who were responsible for monitoring them might also betray them?! ]
Tan Wenhan: “…”
Tan Wenhan: “???”
The smile just appeared at the corners of his lips, but then it slowly drooped halfway. Tan Wenhan raised his head in shock and looked at the little ball on the golden platform.
I finally started to panic.
Although there weren't many affairs in the court a few days ago, Emperor Mingze took all the officials on a trip, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was temporarily promoted to that position to oversee state affairs. Many things required them, the old guys, to pay more attention...
Since the three men didn't bring any special news, he didn't take it seriously.
Who knew that reality would give him such a big surprise!
【hiss--】
Tan Wenhan was startled again by the little guy's "hiss".
The young man would often gasp in shock at the gossip he saw. In the past, he just thought that this was a sign that he was about to hear big news, and he would always wait for her to say something next.
This was the first time that Tan Wenhan had a creepy feeling as if someone had opened the lid of his head and blew a breath of cool air into it!
[It seems that the chief guard stole a lot of treasures from the warehouse of Grandpa Tan's mansion when he was in the mansion. He was so generous in his first move. No wonder those two people rebelled without hesitation! ]
【Wow! 】
The onlookers' hearts suddenly rose, successfully causing Tan Wenhan's heartbeat to stop for a moment.
Tan Wenhan closed his eyes tightly, and couldn't help but comfort himself in his heart that no matter how explosive the news was, he must not let it mess up his heartbeat.
The body is the capital of everything!
He must take good care of himself!!
[They were also preparing to spread rumors, saying that it was Master Tan who started the affair and abandoned them because he disliked the concubine's old age and no longer looked pretty, so he cruelly found a reason like that and drove all three of them out——]
[Eh, that's a big deal, hiring so many people...]
[Wow! They are planning to start the action the day after tomorrow?!]
Tan Wenhan: “???”
Tan Wenhan: “!!!”
"Your Highness!" Tan Wenhan spoke suddenly, "I also think that Wang Bingxu is a man of upright character and modest conduct. He will surely become a rare talent in the future. Therefore..."
Let's finish this damn morning court quickly, he still has some personal matters to take care of!
Today, he will crush the little thoughts of those three people into the dirt and will never let such ridiculous remarks spread out!
Keep your innocence in this world!!
Jiang Tinghuai: "..."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "..."
…
The morning court ended hastily with the joint efforts of everyone in the court.
Jiang Yingcheng was about to run back to Changning Palace to check her small bag, but her brother, the Crown Prince, grabbed the back of her collar and held her by his side like a pendant.
It is not entirely accurate to call it a pendant. After all, most of the time, she was held in the arms of her prince brother like a treasure.
In order to force the young man's attention back, Jiang Tinghuai casually asked after finishing a day's work, "Do you want to go out of the palace with the Crown Prince to play?"
Jiang Yingcheng's pupils paused, "Hmm?"
"I heard that the people in the capital held a three-day lantern festival to pray for the soldiers of our Great Rui. Today happens to be the last day..." Jiang Tinghuai was very patient, "Do you want to go for a walk?"
Jiang Yingcheng's dazed look gradually brightened up.
She had originally planned to find Grandpa Guan Xi and the others to help Grandpa Tan resolve this rumor. But since she was destined not to escape today, it would be okay to go find Grandpa Guan Xi first!
“Yes!”
Jiang Tinghuai breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank God, at least today I can get away with it.
…
When the group left the palace, it was just getting dark.
The surface of the Inner City River was covered with lanterns, which complemented the candles on the stalls on both sides of the street. The whole space was as bright as day and was very beautiful.
As soon as Jiang Yingcheng came out, he was dazzled by the unusually bustling market.
[Cheng, Chengcheng is going to look for Master Guan Xi and Yu——Wow, it smells so good! ]
The tip of her small nose twitched slightly twice, and Jiang Yingcheng grasped her prince brother's big hand tightly, and pointed timidly: "What are they selling at that stall over there?"
Jiang Tinghuai looked up.
The steam was rising slowly from the high-piled cages, and the fragrance was wafting far away.
He held the boy's hand, smiled and lowered his head: "Let's go and have a look."
Jiang Yingcheng was very happy.
Although there was already a long queue in front of the stall, she was still the first to experience a different kind of happiness in the prolonged anticipation.
This kind of happiness lasted until——
“Huh?!”
Jiang Yingcheng couldn't help but lean forward in her brother's arms, as if struck by lightning: "Nothing?!"
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It will be available soon, but you just need to wait a little longer!"
"ah……"
Jiang Yingcheng's face was full of disappointment: "Then, how long will it take..."
"My dear customer, you can go for a walk first," the shopkeeper said, seeing how cute she was, and made an exception, "When the next pot comes out of the stove, I can save a portion for you!"
"That's also——"
"If you are in a hurry, little girl, take my portion first."
A sweet voice came from behind, successfully interrupting Jiang Yingcheng's words.
