Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Nan Jinming was not much of a drinker, but the weather here was too cold. Even with a light snow outside, she was already feeling a little cold. It was indeed very difficult for southerners to adapt to the weather in the north.

Nan Jinming asked the waiter to bring a pot of strong liquor.

"You want to drink?"

Chu Xiaoran frowned. The wine smelled very strong. It was a strong liquor.

"I only drink a little, and once the alcohol takes effect, my body will naturally warm up."

Nan Jinming just took the wine jug and poured a little into the glass. She just hadn't drunk alcohol in recent years.

Nan Jinming can drink a lot. When he was in southern Xinjiang, he would drink and chat with the soldiers in the military camp, eating meat and drinking with big mouthfuls. Those days were quite carefree.

"Don't worry, I'm not drunk."

Nan Jinming patted the back of Chu Xiaoran's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I'm not a drunkard."

After a hearty meal and a few drinks, the three of them sat on chairs, rubbing their stomachs with satisfaction, and watched the snow outside getting heavier and heavier. Fortunately, the reception building was not far from the Princess's Mansion, so they would go back when the snow stopped.

"When was this restaurant opened? Business seems to be pretty good."

"It has been open for decades. The rich and powerful like to hold banquets here. How can the business be bad?"

Nan Jinming raised his eyebrows and threw a coquettish glance at Chu Xiaoran beside him, and the two of them smiled at each other immediately.

"Why were the people outside staring at us just now?"

Chu Xiaoran asked the doubts in his heart. When they just entered the restaurant, everyone's eyes fell on the two of them, which made Chu Xiaoran feel a little nervous.

"When the princess participated in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heaven, many people saw you and recognized your face. When they met you here today, they naturally wanted to take a closer look. They all saw the woman next to you. I'm afraid that tomorrow, there is no need to wait until tomorrow, rumors will spread all over Snow City."

The expression on Nan Jinming's face was very calm. He just moved his lips slightly but didn't say a word. So what should he say?

That she did it on purpose?

Chu Xiaoran is now the princess of Yu State and has a noble status. Am I marrying above my station?

In fact, when he didn't appear in public, no one knew their identities, but Nan Jinming was a little jealous in his heart because Chu Xiaoran was too close to the so-called prime minister.

"What should we do?"

Chu Xiaoran is a person who hates trouble, so he usually hopes to avoid some troublesome things.

Now, I have been caught in such a situation because of a moment of carelessness. If these rumors reach the ears of the emperor, I am afraid there will be something wrong.

"I know, I know. There's nothing to be unspeakable about this. The fate between you and me has long been destined. Now that they know about it, it doesn't matter."

The reason why Nan Jinming did this was to make the prime minister stay away from Chu Xiaoran and stop him from always looking at a married man.

Nan Jinming didn't know about the things that Shi Yinsheng had been unable to say in the past. Coming to this restaurant for dinner today was also his own little trick, which was to make the relationship between the two of them public.

Nan Jinming's identity had been planned long ago, and over the years, no one had been able to find out his background.

Shi Yinsheng is indeed a character. He was able to find out his true identity. It was also his own fault that he was careless and his sword skills, which he had not used for a long time, were exposed. Fortunately, the man who spoke at the time was dressed as a man and wore a veil, so no one in the palace knew him.

That made Nan Jinming feel relieved.

"Don't think too simply."

Chu Xiaoran said with some annoyance that Nan Jinming was sometimes like a child in front of him. When he was angry, he still had to coax him. Maybe he would be very happy if he gave him a piece of candy.

"Princess, you haven't told me who this person is."

"This is my wife, her name is Nan Jinming, we got married two months ago in Yuecheng, Ye Country."

Qingyu was sitting in the same place, and suddenly sat up straight, staring at the two people in front of her with eyes wide open in surprise. Although she guessed that their identities were not simple, it was still like thunder when she heard it with her own ears.

"How can this be possible? A few days ago, I heard His Majesty and Lord Feng discussing arranging a marriage for the princess. The news should have been leaked. If they knew that the princess had already married, then..."

Nan Jinming shrugged indifferently. She made such a fuss on purpose today just to avoid the emperor arranging a marriage for Xiaoran.

No matter which country, no one can accept a man getting married for the second time. Isn't this an easy problem?

"What's the big deal? Just know it now. Otherwise, can she force Xiaoran to marry someone else?"

Chu Xiaoran bit his lip. He had complicated thoughts in his mind. As the saying goes, living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. Even though he was not living in the palace now, given how much his aunt valued him, if she knew that he had been cleared of the charges, she would probably send someone to assassinate Jin Ming.

"You should be careful in the future. Stay in the Princess's Mansion recently and don't go anywhere."

"Don't worry about me. Don't you believe me?"

"Of course I believe it, but there are many eyes and ears out there, and sooner or later you will be discovered by your aunt."

"She already knew it."

When Shi Yinsheng took Chu Xiaoran away, he had already sent people to investigate Nan Jinming's background thoroughly, but she was not found out to be Murong Beitang.

Nan Jinming curled his lips into a meaningful smile.
