Zhao Shi started quite lightly and touched the exact location, only to hear the sound of bones shifting.
Mingzhu burst into tears from the pain immediately, her dark eyes filled with icy mist, and her beautiful and clean face unconsciously showed a bit of grievance.
Fortunately, the pain in my ankle is gradually easing.
Zhao Shi raised his eyes and saw that her eyes were red and she was holding back the pain. He sighed slightly and gently wiped away the moisture at the end of her eyes with his fingertips: "Zhao Xin can't be reliable if she can't do it right." Time, you have a better memory this time, so don’t let her mess around next time.”
Mingzhu was almost chilled by the man's fingers. She turned her face and looked away casually. She said, "I want to go."
It's not like Zhao Xin encouraged her or forced her.
When Zhao Shi hears words he doesn't like to hear, he either stays silent or goes around. After a while, he suddenly said: "My daughter has finished school today and is clamoring to find you."
What Mingzhu wants is to live separately from him and have her children with her.
Seeing that she was silent, Zhao Shi smiled and said, "She made the master so angry that he fainted today."
Mingzhu didn't believe it, "Xiao Man is very good."
Zhao Shi raised his eyebrows and said, "That's just to be nice in front of you. She doesn't have a good face towards others."
Although it was the truth, Mingzhu was still not very happy after hearing this. She asked, "So why is Xiaoman so angry with Taifu today?"
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment and couldn't answer for a moment. He didn't ask carefully at all. He sent his daughter to study in Taixue, and he didn't want to be too strict with her. The child is still young, so she is just asked to go to school to find more compatible playmates.
He replied: "I didn't ask."
Mingzhu was slightly dissatisfied and glared at him: "Why don't you even ask this?"
Zhao Shi didn't think there was anything to ask. It didn't hurt that the little girl had a temper, and she didn't do anything particularly outrageous. It was understandable to be a little more arrogant.
He held Mingzhu's ankles, placed them on his knees, and slowly helped her put on her socks.
Mingzhu quickly retracted her legs and hid under the quilt.
Zhao Shi said: "It's not a big deal."
Mingzhu felt that she really couldn't agree with his views on educating children. She straightened her lips and said, "Children must be taught well from an early age."
Zhao Shi also remembered that two days ago, she got angry because she felt that he had not taught the child well, and she lost her temper and refused to pay attention to him. He became cautious and said things he didn't mean: "Zhuzhu is right."
Mingzhu thought this was a good opportunity. Her originally cold face cleared up a little. She moistened her throat and looked calm on the surface. She said, "Since you also know that my daughter prefers to listen to me, why don't you do it tonight?" Should she send it out? There are also good academies in the capital. Although the talent and learning are not as good as those of the Taifu, they are not inferior to those who can teach. "
Zhao Shi raised his eyelids and looked at her casually. His tone of voice was not perfunctory, and his attitude seemed to be very sincere. He said, "What Zhuzhu said makes sense."
When Mingzhu heard what he said, she knew it was no good. This man was clearly trying to fool her. It's sweet to coax on the lips. In fact, he wouldn't do it at all.
Mingzhu rolled up the quilt, hiding half of her face, and asked, "When will you return to the palace?"
What are you doing out here in good condition
Zhao Shi took off his black wristband, unbuckled his belt and said, "Early tomorrow morning."
"Since you are so busy, don't run out if you have nothing to do."
"The sun has set and I haven't seen you coming back. I am worried about my wife, lest something unexpected happens to you." Zhao Shi said this seriously.
Mingzhu felt that he was mocking her. She had indeed deceived him with these words when she took the token this morning. But even if he pointed it out and teased her, Mingzhu didn't feel guilty. Instead, she said confidently: "I just lied to you, how about that?"
Zhao Shi said warmly: "What else can I do? Of course you can lie if you want."
Mingzhu's ears were numb and she had no confidence after listening to soft words. She gritted her teeth and maintained her tough and cold side. She said, "Don't try to deceive me with your sweet words. I won't be fooled by you."
She is no longer a little girl of fifteen or sixteen who can be deceived by hooking her fingers. I am still very wary of Zhao Shi, so I won't easily fall into his sugar-coated trap.
Zhao Shi also liked her very much when he saw her angry expression. The soft flesh bulged out on both sides of her cheeks, and her black eyes were wide and round, showing a coquettish look that she didn't even notice.
The man pulled her quilt, and Mingzhu was a little annoyed: "Your Highness, please don't touch me."
Zhao Shi stated calmly: "I'm a little cold."
After a while, Mingzhu silently gave him half of the quilt. She turned around, looked at him seriously and said, "Your Highness, will you stop bothering me?"
Zhao Shi covered her with quilt and answered her seriously: "No."
Mingzhu groaned angrily and turned her back, facing him with the back of her head unceremoniously. Zhao Shi put his arm around her waist from behind, caressing the back of her neck with his deep, cold breath, and said, "Have a good sleep."
Mingzhu said: "You hold me, I can't sleep."
Zhao Shi's hand on her waist didn't loosen at all. He said, "It's okay if you don't want to sleep."
Mingzhu remained silent.
Zhao Shi continued: "Just don't regret it."
A soft voice is also a threat. Mingzhu didn't want to pluck the beard from the tiger's face, so she shrank inside, closed her eyes and planned to sleep.
Zhao Shi listened to the gradually relaxing breathing of the person on the pillow, silently tightened her fingers, and pulled the person into his arms.
Mingzhu woke up and found herself leaning in a hard embrace. When she opened her eyes, she saw the man's profile, his fingers tightly clasped together and unable to let go for a while.
She struggled to break free and got up from his arms. As soon as she sat upright and was about to turn over and get out of bed, the man woke up without knowing when and took her back into his arms.
Mingzhu was lying on his chest, her breath was unusually urgent, and her ears gradually turned red in his quiet and deep eyes. Fortunately, her hair covered her red ears, otherwise she would not be able to lose her face.
"I need to get up."
The man showed a rare lazy look and pressed her waist, her delicate body pressed against his chest.
Zhao Shi might not have slept enough, so he was lazily. His fingers curled up her hair and he made a sound in his nose: "I'm so sleepy."
He looked like he had just woken up, and his face was a bit alluring.
Red pajamas, loose belt, cross-collared thin shirt, slightly open collar, fair and lean chest, Adam's apple and collarbone all look better than ordinary people. The whole person looks very beautiful.
Mingzhu was so taken away by his appearance that she looked away: "I'm not sleepy."
Zhao Shi said yes and closed his eyes again, seeming to have fallen asleep again.
Mingzhu tentatively climbed up from him, but before she could do anything, the man's wrist used force to push her back down.
After Mingzhu tried it several times, it was always like this. Gradually, she no longer had the energy to do anything.
She felt that Zhao Shi was just pretending to sleep.
Pretend to be presentable.
Mingzhu scolded him in her heart, while lying on his chest and fell asleep again.
As a result, Zhao Shi missed the early morning meeting. After he woke up, he put on his clothes in a hurry and had breakfast with Mingzhu. He didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Before leaving, Zhao Shi pinched her little face. The flesh on her cheeks was just right, soft and waxy, and felt good to the touch.
He said: "If you don't want to live in the palace, you can live in the mansion for a while."
Mingzhu didn't appreciate it, and the fox definitely didn't mean well when he said nice things.
After a pause, Zhao Shi added, "Leave your daughter in my care, you can rest assured."
After hearing this, Mingzhu became even more worried! Did Zhao Shi say this to her on purpose? My daughter is still in the palace, and there is a limit to how she can control her anger. She will have to go back sooner or later.
Zhao Shi didn't know which of his words made her angry, but after all, he was a man who had lived for decades, and he could tell what she was thinking at a glance. He explained sincerely: "This sentence is definitely not... Threatening you."
Just remind her not to forget the child.
Zhao Shi put on the hood of her cloak and said softly: "It's windy outside, please go back to the house."
After Zhao Shi left, Mingzhu found that she didn't seem to hate him as much as before. At least she no longer had the nightmare that Zhao Shi wanted to kill her.
Being stabbed to death by someone you once loved again and again is indeed a wound that is difficult to heal.
She stood in the corridor looking at the man's thin back with mixed emotions.
Mingzhu took off her hood and let the cold wind hit her face. She became more awake, and just as she was about to go back to the house, someone came to tell her, "The wife of the Marquis of Nan'an wants to see you."
Mingzhu didn't recognize anyone from the Nan'an Marquis Mansion, and she had never had any friendship with this lady.
She frowned: "Did you say anything?"
"Mrs. Hou just said that I have a request and wants to see you."
"Let her come."
"yes."
Madam Hou finally found out that the Crown Princess was recuperating in the mansion for the past two days, so she came over in a low voice.
Mrs. Hou is not a person without temperament. She is proud and proud, and few people can make her bow her head.
Although she had never seen her before, Mrs. Hou showed that she was very familiar with her: "Princess, I am ashamed to say that I came to you today because of your brother-in-law's love."
"My brother-in-law?"
"Isn't Mingru your sister?"
"oh."
Mrs. Hou also knew that the relationship between the eldest sister and the concubine was definitely not much better, but this was a bad idea. She had no choice but to ask the Crown Princess for help.
It’s not like I haven’t begged the prince.
The prince would not accept this trick at all, so he begged him not to beg the princess.
They also figured out that it was unusual for the prince to be kind to the princess. No matter how ridiculous the sentiment sounds to outsiders, he will always protect it.
Mrs. Hou was very thick-skinned: "Your brother-in-law accidentally hurt someone when he was drunk a few days ago. See if you can talk to the prince and ask him to be accommodating."
It turned out that Mingru's husband was guilty.
Mingzhu didn't feel the pleasure of seeing others suffer misfortune. She said, "I can't speak in front of the prince."
Mrs. Hou only has such a son, and she is not willing to let her son suffer in a prison like Tianlao. She was a little anxious when she spoke: "The prince is the most obedient to you now."
"If you hate your sister-in-law, I will let my son divorce your sister-in-law as soon as he comes out of the prison."
There are people on the left and right who can't give birth to children, so if they get divorced, they'll get divorced.
Mingzhu felt that Mrs. Hou was really ruthless in her love-making, so she said, "Go and beg the prince yourself. I can't help you."
Now she can only quarrel with Zhao Shi and not ask for help.
