Little Cardamom

Ming Tan always felt that after returning home today, her husband looked at her a little strangely. She couldn't tell what was strange about it, but when they met their eyes, they seemed to pause for a breath or two more than usual.

She didn't take it too seriously either.

After the family feast, Bai Minmin and Shen Hua both returned home.

In recent days, Bai Minmin's mother and her sister-in-law have been holding her tightly. After all, they are all big girls who want to see other people. It is useless to let people know that seeing Tian'er running around is not good for her reputation.

Shen Hua wanted to go back to see some shopkeepers. Since entering Li's mansion, her mother-in-law has asked her to assist Zhongfu. Although she is used to reciting poems and fighting against others, she is not incompetent in common affairs.

After they left, Ming Tan went to Lanxin Courtyard to talk with Mrs. Pei for a while.

Pei also took Shen Hua as an example: "... She is a blessed person. Now in Li Siye's mansion, she is living like a fish in water. The husband is motivated, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the sisters-in-law are easy to get along with. Her sister-in-law, no Is it Miss Zhou's older sister who you are befriending? I don't have to say anything about her temperament and appearance. And the most important thing is that her parents-in-law are open-minded and don't judge others. Now she can assist in the middle school as soon as she enters the house. You should also learn more .”

Ming Tan nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "Mother, I understand the truth, but I don't have any sisters-in-law. On the first day of the wedding, the steward of the palace sent me all the keys to the account books."

"..."

"Is there no one in the mansion to embarrass you?"

Ming Tan thought for a while, then shook his head.

"Since I entrusted it to you, I believe you. You should take good care of the property of the palace."

Ming Tan made a "hmm".

Seeing that there was no one around, Mrs. Pei lowered her voice and asked again: "Is there a concubine in the house?"

Dingbei Prince's Mansion is not like other sects, they can inquire about one or two before marriage, not like other sects, if there is something dirty before marriage, they can still refuse to marry, on this road, Pei family has always been quite worried.

Ming Tan said without thinking, "No." But suddenly she paused again, her tone became hesitant, "Shouldn't there be any? I've been in the mansion for three days, and I haven't heard of any other women in the mansion. "

"His Royal Highness has been resting in your room for three days?"

Ming Tan blushed and said "Yes", and said reservedly: "I live, it seems to be the courtyard where my husband has been living, and all his clothes are in the house."

The two lived together? Pei Shi was slightly surprised.

But in this way, what Master Hou said today when he came back to "love his wife eagerly" seems so credible.

Pei's heart was relieved a lot, and he held Ming Tan's hand again, and said earnestly: "My lord loves more than you now, which is great. But my mother said something bad, the lord is young and promising, with a high position. Weight, only you at this moment, does not mean only you in the future.

"In the house, heirs are the most important thing. Taking advantage of the strong relationship between husband and wife and no one to disturb you, it is serious to give birth early and stabilize your position as princess. As long as you are in charge of the royal family and have children under your knees, then in the future, you will be in the palace. , no one can surpass you."

What Mrs. Pei said is very reasonable, and it is also what women think in the minds of women nowadays. But when Ming Tan thought that there would be other women who would have children with her husband in the future, he felt a little panicked for no reason.

"Mother knows that you don't like to hear these things being said now, but you have to take a long-term view of everything, so that you won't feel sad when it comes to it."

"My daughter knows."

"Still getting out of the car?"

At sunset, the carriage stopped in front of the Dingbei Prince's Mansion, Jiang Xu stood outside the carriage, glanced at Ming Tan who was still sitting in the carriage in a daze.

When he went out in the morning, he, the little princess, pestered him to ask questions, she was full of energy, but she was silent and absent-minded all the way back home, wondering if she was thinking about what her friend said, "I want water" one thing.

Jiang Xu originally wanted to verify with her that night, what it felt like to ask for Qihuishui, but something happened in the palace, and the palace gate gave the key and called him into the palace.

After four days of marriage, Ming Tan is not used to suddenly staying alone in an empty room.

It rained violently in the middle of the night, with lightning and thunder, and she tossed and turned wrapped in a brocade quilt. Thinking about the newcomers coming into the mansion in the future, they would all be as bright as flowers. Sadness comes from it.

Early the next morning, the rain cleared and the clouds cleared away. As soon as the window was opened, there was a fresh air filled with the fragrance of flowers, plants and trees.

Ming Tan sat in front of the dowry with blue eye circles, not energetic.

Just as she was reassuring herself to talk about things later, and there was no need to be so unfounded, a little girl suddenly came in outside, with her head buried low, and she said in a somewhat unspeakable way: "Princess, Aunt Yun and Aunt Fang is here to greet you."

Ming Tan was startled, her head seemed to be blown away, she was so shocked that she couldn't recover for a while.

Lue was also in a daze, the jade comb stopped in Ming Tan's hair, and she forgot to comb it down.

"You... what did you say? What aunt?" Lue asked in disbelief.

The little girl replied cautiously: "Aunt Yun and Aunt Fang. It is complicated for the princess to enter the mansion, so the two aunts came to greet the princess today."

Lue: "Why have I never heard that there is an aunt in the mansion before?"

The little girl shook her head, faltering and saying: "I don't know."

Su Xin was able to hold back a little bit, waved the little girl back, and quickly comforted her: "I think it is the common room that His Highness used to use in the mansion, welcoming the main room, and lifting the room. This is also common in ordinary houses. Too much concern. His Highness never mentioned it before, probably because he didn't take them to heart."

"Yes, yes." Seeing Ming Tan's distraught face, Lu E quickly agreed, "If it's a serious role, His Highness doesn't mention it, but Uncle Fu will always mention it, and other servants in the mansion will also discuss it.

"Since no one has mentioned it these days, it must be insignificant. I came here to greet you at this moment. Maybe I wanted to toast the young lady with a cup of concubine tea, but His Highness didn't come back. This young lady doesn't like to drink tea. Just find a reason not to drink it." gone."

Ming Tan didn't say a word, and didn't know what he was thinking, he was silent for a long time before letting Lue continue to make up for her.

After more than half an hour, Ming Tan finished packing and appeared in the flower hall of Qi'an Hall. She sat down at the head, raised her eyebrows slightly, and slowly looked at the two brides who appeared out of nowhere like a bolt from the blue.

Although these two aunts are not as good-looking as hers, they are not bad either. One is beautiful and the other is delicate and charming. They all look two or three years older than her, and they are very beautiful.

Before she could finish digesting the mixed emotions in her heart, the beautiful aunt conveniently folded her hands and knelt down on one knee: "Your maidservant, see the princess."?

Something seems wrong.

Ming Tan didn't understand for a while, and subconsciously asked: "Are you, Aunt Yun?"

"yes."

The other one is Aunt Fang.

As soon as Ming Tan looked over, Aunt Fang was full of happiness and said coquettishly: "My slave Fang's family is Ruomei, I have seen the princess."

Compared to Aunt Yun who salutes in a weird way, this one is very much like Aunt Yun. It's just that they call themselves "Nu's family". Which concubine's room in the capital city calls themselves "Nu's family"? Ming Tan listened awkwardly, but inexplicably thought of the water surplus in Bie Yu Lou.

"Get up and watch the seats."

Ming Tan suppressed the emotions in her heart, but she didn't want to look at the two of them anymore. She fiddled with the lid of the teacup and bowl, she couldn't go against her heart, and said, "From now on, we will all be sisters, and we must be of one heart and one mind to be good." Serve the prince, and spread the branches and leaves for the prince as soon as possible." Words like this came.

It's too uncomfortable, my heart is too uncomfortable.

She took a sip of her tea, her eyes hurt from the steaming heat, and her eyes were covered with mist.

Unaware of this, Yun Yi stared at Ming Tan's slender hands playing with the lid of the teacup and bowl without blinking her eyes.

Fang Ruomei tilted her body and bumped into her lightly: "What are you looking at?"

Yun Yi replied subconsciously: "The movement of the princess turning the tea lid is very beautiful, and her hands are also very beautiful. I have never seen such beautiful hands."

After finishing speaking, she also picked up the tea on the table, imitated, flicked it bluntly, and then flicked away the tea leaves that hadn't stretched and sank into the bottom of the tea.

"..."

Where did this idiot come from.

Aunt Fang's eyes almost rolled to the sky.

Just as the flower hall sank into a strange silence, the girl came to report: The prince has returned.

Ming Tan raised her eyelids, but at the moment she was so uncomfortable that she didn't want to see that man again, until she saw a piece of brocade clothes in her eyes, she lowered her eyes and got up, and saluted somewhat perfunctorily.

Jiang Xu is not a careful person, but his little princess has "I'm not happy" written all over from her hair to the necklace on the embroidered shoes, so he can't fail to see it.

Sitting next to Ming Tan, he glanced at Yun Yi and Fang Ruomei, and introduced in a low voice: "This is the guard I found for you, Yun Yi is good at swords, Fang Ruomei is good at poison and medicine, if I am not in the mansion, Let them protect you."

"...?"

Ming Tan raised his eyes suddenly.

Yunyi: "My subordinate, Jinyunwei Yunyi, is ordered to protect the safety of the princess."

Fang Ruomei: "My subordinate Bieyulou Fang Ruomei is ordered to protect the safety of the princess."

The two saluted solemnly.

Ming Tan was even more confused.

This Aunt Fang is really from Bieyulou.

After the introduction, Jiang Xu glanced at the two of them, and they bowed their heads knowingly, and bowed back.

Soon there were only Ming Tan and Jiang Xu left in the flower hall.

Ming Tan was still immersed in the ups and downs of emotions, and he couldn't get back to his senses: "Aunt Yun and Aunt Fang, are they... guards? Are they just guards?"

"Just guards."

"Then why do you want them to be aunts?" The female guards in the storybook are all personal servants.

"This king doesn't like the fact that there are many people in the mansion."

After saying this, Jiang Xu got up and asked someone to set the meal. When he came back early in the morning, he thought he would have hot porridge, but he didn't expect that because of the two female guards, his princess stopped the virtuous and virtuous on the fourth day of their wedding.

Ming Tan didn't know what he was thinking, but she was still pondering over his sentence "I don't like the fact that there are many people in the house". After pondering for a long time, after considering all kinds of situations, she came to a more reliable conclusion : Her husband doesn't want to take concubines for now.

It is impossible for the palace to have only one concubine. Even if her husband doesn't want to take concubines, there will always be people who will find all kinds of beauties in the palace. Instead of waiting for people to fill in, it's better to fill in two of them first, so that there is a reason for the refusal.

At night, Ming Tan asked Jiang Xu to confirm this idea in the bed, and got a positive response. She was so happy that she became more enthusiastic for a while, and despite the hard work, she cooperated until midnight.

to finish

When returning to the water for the second time, Ming Tan thought that he could sleep peacefully like the previous few days, so he closed his eyes peacefully.

But who would have thought that after Jiang Xu hugged her behind him for a while, he suddenly regained the momentum of recovery. Soon Ming Tan was turned over without any refusal. Xiumei frowned slightly, sweating profusely. She whimpered, tears burst out, and she complained intermittently while beating.

In a daze, she suddenly heard Jiang Xu whispering in her ear: "Didn't the script say that you need seven times of water?"

"...?"

"But that's not... I didn't say it, uh!"
