Na found a sofa in the corner of the hall, helped Manda sit down, and when she saw her, she sat close to her.
Manda was in a daze silently. Sometimes her eyes would suddenly turn red, and she would cover her mouth to prevent herself from crying. Ming Na felt that this was not her solution, so she kept asking her to talk, hoping to make her feel better. At the same time, she quietly looked for other people from Xiao... Ka's family. If they could come, she would be much more relaxed.
At this time, Elon and other nobles were chatting happily with the people from Nogar's mission; Lilith exchanged recent clothing fashions and gossips with other noble ladies; Feld visited all the decorations in the hall that aroused his interest. After that, he went to Bianca's side. Naturally, there are always admirers around a beauty. Felder is cute and he is a child. When many people see Bianca getting close to him, they praise him openly and secretly. He is very aggressive and the beauty is happy, so the little boy gets along like a duck in water.
Ming Na frowned when she saw this, and then looked for Bevin and Beryl, only to see the latter talking to a few old nobles, with a very respectful expression, but with strong confidence in their eyebrows.
What is she doing
Manda wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes again, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, you must be bored, right? I'm fine, you can go dance." Just now, several noble young people discovered that Ming Na, a strange beauty, was quite charming. Out of courtesy, she came to invite her to dance, but was rejected by Ming Na. Manda thought it was all her fault.
Ming Na smiled and said: "I'm not bored, what's the point of dancing? I hate those guys who pretend to be handsome and put on airs." And she is not in the mood to dance now.
Glancing at Alex, who was still surrounded by four or five ladies, she curled her lips and almost hummed.
Manda smiled at her words, but soon became frustrated again. Ming Na looked at it and frowned: "What happened? You were fine when you came here just now, why are you crying like this all of a sudden?"
Manda bit her lip: "Mingna, I'm really useless, right? Even if I put on solemn clothes and comb my hair in a solemn style, I'm still a mediocre little girl. She can't be noble."
"Noble?" Ming Na sneered, "What is nobility? If it's about family background, aren't you considered noble? If it's about appearance, it's easier to be noble. All you have to do is raise your chin and keep a cold face. , and if you look at people sideways and use your nose to exhale when speaking, anyone can be noble!"
Manda couldn't help but laugh out loud: "That's not what I meant. I mean. She is as smart and confident as her sister. The topics she talks about are always very profound. It makes people feel elegant and extraordinary; and there is Princess Noga. Their manners are dignified, they behave well, and they smile very kindly... That's how noble they are. And I... I'm really not worthy of Selig..."
"How come you're talking about the second prince again?" Ming Na opened her eyes wide. "What does this have to do with whether you are noble or not? As long as you love each other, it will be fine? Don't take what others say to heart. They are not the ones who make the final decision." There was a pause. added. "Besides. Is your sister also called noble? She just has eyes on the top of her head. As for the princess..." She lowered her voice. "It always makes me feel like something is wrong..."
Manda forced a smile: "Don't comfort me. They are a hundred times better than me. I used to think that as long as Selig and I love each other, we can be together. But now I know I was wrong. He will soon become the crown prince. Then he will be the king. I... I have no confidence or ability to be a queen. In the end, he will still leave me..." She began to cry again.
Ming Na was a little annoyed when she heard this: "Why does everyone regard the second prince as the king now? Do you think the woman who marries him must be the queen? That's ridiculous! I don't think this will happen."
"I know you want to comfort me. But everyone knows that is the truth... Not only the queen and the nobles think so. Even His Majesty the King has handed over the work that should have been undertaken by the Crown Prince to Selig. It will be sooner or later What will happen..."
Ming Na wanted to retort. But open your mouth. Still closed.
She once wondered why the king allowed rumors to spread all over the world, and the eldest prince Hyatt, who was obviously only slightly injured, actually hid in the palace and disappeared. If they had denied it, how could things develop to this point? The point
Alex analyzed that the king was probably testing something to see how many people were on the queen's side. He believes that although His Majesty the King has always been kind, he will never condone such behavior that seriously affects the royal power. The eldest prince, who is healthy and has received many years of education as the heir to the throne, will not be easily given up. He has always done whatever he wants and has never officially participated in political affairs. It is impossible for the second prince to become a competent crown prince after attending or hosting several important events. So in the end, the queen's party will only have a happy time.
Minna has always believed in Alex's political analysis ability, so when she saw sisters Beryl and Manda worrying about the two princes, she didn't say anything. Anyway, when the matter is over, they can still be with the person they like, so why should she reveal such a confidential matter
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Alex again, and saw that he was looking over with a wry smile, but her attention was quickly distracted by the words of other ladies.
Ming Na clenched her fists and turned to ask Manda: "There's no point in sitting here, why not leave early? You don't want to be seen crying, right?"
Manda wiped the corners of her eyes, and sure enough she caught a glimpse of several noble daughters peeking at her, whispering to each other with low smiles, and her face turned red. How could she be so careless? Now it has become a joke in the eyes of others! She was very moved by Ming Na's proposal, but still hesitated: "But... wouldn't it be rude to leave now?"
"Let's go quietly. Others will only think that we are going out to get some air. Anyway, the people hosting the dance are Nuojia people. How can they recognize each of our faces clearly? Look at the crowds of people talking in the hall just now. How many people are missing now?"
Manda straightened up: "Then...are we the only ones leaving? The coachman at home must be looking for a place to drink and chat at this time."
"Don't worry, I can drive!" Ming Na looked around and quietly got up, "I'm going to drive the car to the gate. There are fewer people and cars on the street now, so we can get out soon. You ten minutes Then wait for me at the door." She took advantage of the curtain and gently walked out along the wall. When she met the waiter or other guests, she pretended to go out for some fresh air or to find something. She slipped out of the door smoothly and quickly found I picked up the carriage belonging to the Caddo family, but the driver was indeed not there. She drove the car familiarly and arrived at the entrance of the auditorium.
After waiting for a while, Manda appeared at the door, accompanied by Bevin. The former said with some embarrassment: "My brother discovered me when we came out. He said he would send us back..."
Bevin glanced at her with disapproval, then smiled and said to Ming Na: "You two girls are so bold! What if there is an accident on the road? Get in the car, I will drive. Anyway, I am right. Not too interested in prom.”
Ming Na stuck out her tongue, thinking that she wouldn't lose much to you.
Still obediently climbed into the car with Manda and gave up the driver's seat to Tang)
The carriage quickly left the auditorium and drove towards the Kado family under the starry sky. Probably because he hadn't done such an "outrageous" thing for a long time, Manda felt a little excited, which relieved a lot of her original depression. She looked at the street outside the window with interest, and told Ming Na about the thrilling experience when she sneaked out: "Originally, I calculated that the time was almost up, and was about to get up and leave, but suddenly a waiter came and said it was that A Duke of Nogar sent him to ask me if I felt better. He also sent me a bottle of good fruit wine, saying that he wanted to drink it for me. He hoped that I would have a good time tonight. I was so nervous that I could hardly speak. I couldn’t come out, so I finally waited for him to leave before I sneaked out, but I was caught by my brother.”
Ming Na was amused when she heard this: "Did my cousin scold you?"
"Of course he scolded, but now he won't scold too loudly outside. When he gets home, he will probably scold again, right?" Manda raised his hand and wiped his forehead. Seeing that his hand was covered with sweat, he looked around. He looked up and suddenly exclaimed, "Oops! I seem to have dropped your handkerchief in the venue! It's strange, it was still there when I got up."
Ming Na smiled and handed another piece over: "It's just a handkerchief, what does it matter? In fact, cousin Beiwen is too careful. This is Ito City. It's not like we haven't traveled outside. We will meet each other when we go home. What danger?"
Bevin's voice came from the small window at the front of the carriage: "I know you have learned swordsmanship, but little girls should not go out alone."
"We are two people! Also, we are not little girls anymore!" Not only Mingna was dissatisfied with his words, but Manda also refuted her brother. The three cousins were noisy all the way home. .
After Bevin handed the carriage to the servants, he ordered them to bring his own horse. He casually took off his coat, turned around and said to his sister and cousin: "You suddenly disappeared. My father and mother will be worried. I will go back and tell them." After that, he mounted his horse and left.
As soon as he left, Manda fell silent again and held Mingna's hand: "Stay with me, okay? I want to find someone to talk to..."
Ming Na looked at the reappearance of depression between her eyebrows and couldn't bear it. She nodded quickly and followed her upstairs, changed clothes, and then watched her lie down on the bed: "What do you want to talk about? You look like I’m very tired, why not go to bed early?”
Manda shook her head: "I'm afraid...as soon as I fall asleep, I will have nightmares, dreaming that Selig said he no longer loves me and wants to marry someone else..."
Ming Na sat beside the bed and said softly: "No, he likes you the most."
"But they all said..."
"They are not him! Unless the second prince tells you personally that he is really not with you anymore, otherwise, don't believe a word of what others say!"
"But that's his mother..."
"Is he the kind of person who only listens to his mother and has no ideas? You should know him very well, right? Don't scare yourself all day long, think more about the times when you were happy before, have confidence in yourself, and have confidence in yourself. He has confidence, and more importantly, he has confidence in your relationship!"
Manda buried her face in the thin quilt and smiled sullenly: "Mingna, you really act like an adult when you say these words."
"Of course, I am an adult!" Ming Na refused to admit that those words were said in Alex's tone.
Huh? Why was she thinking of him again? Shaking her head, she began to lead Manda to talk about the past and recall the good times in the past.
Manda fell asleep while talking. Ming Na carefully tucked the quilt for her and then quietly slipped out of the door.
The corridor was dark. Ming Na lit the oil lamp on the wall and suddenly noticed a few light blue lights on the wall. When she looked down, she realized that it was reflected by the necklace she was wearing. After hesitating for a moment, she took off the necklace and put it back into the ring.
When they came downstairs, Yilong and others happened to be back. As soon as Lilith saw Ming Na, she came over angrily and asked: "People said you took Manda away, why?! It's so rude to leave in the middle of the dance! And, where is Bevin? You took him away Where was it taken?!”
Ming Na was a little surprised: "Bevin?" Didn't he return to the venue
"Mother!" Bevin's voice came from behind her, slightly out of breath. Mingna looked back at him in surprise. He lowered his head slightly and explained to his mother without saying anything: "Manda was a little uncomfortable, so Mingna found me and brought her back together. We didn't mean it."
Lilith was a little nervous when she heard this: "Are you not feeling well? Are you sick? Why didn't you tell me?! Do you know that when the other ladies asked about Manda, I searched the whole venue but couldn't find you, and I felt so sad in my heart Are you worried?!" She glared at Ming Na, as if all this was Ming Na's fault.
"Okay, madam!" Elon interrupted his wife impatiently, "I heard some people talking privately, saying that several young ladies who are very promising to become the second prince and concubine have gone to trouble Manda. She She must be in a bad mood, so she might as well come back as soon as possible. Ming Na also wanted to protect Manda. Just say a few words less!" He turned to his niece: "Thank you, Ming Na. I was busy talking to people at the time, and I didn't notice the female family members. What happened over there was my negligence.”
Ming Na responded casually and looked at Lilith quietly. Seeing that her face was very ugly, she felt very happy and said to her uncle: "Manda has fallen asleep now, then... I will go back first, good night, uncle... aunt." "
She gave a very standard and elegant curtsey and walked out the door. When she passed by Lilith, she raised her chin and walked over. Lilith's face turned black with anger, and she said angrily: "I'm going to see Manda!"
"Mother, please wait!" Beryl, who had been silent all the time, suddenly called her out, "I have something I want to talk to you about alone. Can you come to my study?"
Lilith said impatiently: "If you have any questions, let's talk tomorrow. Your sister is sick!" She raised her feet and was about to run upstairs.
"It's about the second prince!"
Lilith paused and looked back at her daughter in confusion. Bevan frowned and said, "Beryl, what do you want to talk about?"
"I have an idea about the second prince's future partner, and I want to discuss it with my mother." Beryl stared at her mother closely, "Is that okay?"
Lilith looked downstairs, then at Beryl, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Of course."
After Minna left Cardo's house, she rode all the way to the Rose Garden. The wind blew on her face, and she felt much better.
When she ran near the grove, she saw from a distance that the green room was unlit, and she couldn't help but murmur in her heart: Could it be that Alex was really fascinated by the beauties and didn't even return home
A green light suddenly lit up on the roadside, and the light group grew larger and larger, illuminating several surrounding trees and the young man wearing a dark blue dress beside the tree. He looked at Ming Na, smiled and said, "Back?"
Mingna stopped her horse and got off the ground after a long while, slowly walking towards him.
(Will Ming Na be jealous? And what will happen to Jada? Keep praying for pink votes~~~).
