Concubine Song Gui was still in astonishment, and the maid behind her also froze, raised her eyes slightly, but immediately buried her head lower, and hid behind her master without a trace.

Ming Tan glanced at the court lady, frowned slightly, but didn't say much, instead, he turned his attention to Concubine Song again.

"Oh? Your Majesty actually recognizes me?" The smile on her face deepened, but the emotion in her eyes seemed to be as cold as frost, and she pointed out, "I thought that your eyes... could only accommodate Concubine Ning The lady is alone."

The Ninth Princess is the empress's first daughter, so naturally she took to heart what she said just now was disrespectful.Concubine Song's cold sweat soaked her clothes in an instant, her eyes flustered, and she rushed forward half a step to explain, where did she remember peony?

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when she left, she immediately covered the palace maid behind her tightly.

"Princess forgive me, my concubine just said something carelessly, I dare not disrespect the empress..."

Ming Tan was noncommittal, still maintaining the smirk on his face, and said in a calm tone: "Whether it is true or not, this princess will truthfully tell the queen mother, and I ask the empress to return to the palace to rest as soon as possible, and wait for the call from the Shang Palace Bureau." .”

Song Guibi was dizzy immediately, her slender figure shook, her face turned pale, knowing that Mingtan would not give up easily.

However, the matter has come to this point, and it will be useless to say any more; besides, she belongs to Concubine Ning's party, and she has never been at odds with the queen, so if she is offended, she will be offended—anyway, she didn't do anything serious, but she just found someone who was wrong. It's just trouble for the favored nobleman.

The Shang Palace Bureau is full of human beings. For the sake of Concubine Ning, the left and right will not impose too heavy a punishment...

After comforting herself for a while, Song Guibi took a deep breath, rushed to the Ninth Princess to bless her body quickly, and took her maids to turn around and leave quickly.

Ming Tan stood on the spot, staring at the back of the palace lady with heavy eyes, and remained silent for a while.

Mallow didn't know what the princess was thinking, so she didn't dare to disturb her easily; on the other hand, Jinggui, who was next to them, looked at the two of them, mustered up the courage to come forward, and took the lead in bowing deeply to Ming Tan, gratefully saying, "Thank you, Princess Ninth, for your help. "

Ming Tan came back to his senses, turned around and waved at her, "Your Majesty Jing doesn't have to be like this. This princess just came out just now to maintain the majesty of Kunning Palace, and I really don't deserve my mother's thank you."

"No matter why the princess is helping each other, it is to help the concubine's urgent need." Jing nobleman shook his head and insisted, "Today's favor, the concubine should repay the princess. Only culinary skills are good enough... If you don't mind, would you like to sit down at Rui Lanxuan for a while before leaving after dinner?"

Unexpectedly, the other party was so enthusiastic, Ming Tan blinked unconsciously, "This..."

"Princess, please don't refuse." Jing Guiren looked serious and spoke very sincerely, and once again leaned down on her.

After all, the other party is a concubine, and this is what she said, and it would seem a little rude to refuse.

Ming Tan turned his head and glanced at Mallow, and saw that although the other party had a solemn face, he also nodded to him unobtrusively, affirming Mr. Jing's statement that "he is good at cooking".

"...Okay." After thinking for a while, Mingtan finally nodded, and said gently, "Since the empress is so kind, then Mingtan would rather be respectful than obedient."

Rui Lanxuan.

All the palace rooms named "Xuanxuan" in the palace are not only located in remote places, but also occupy a pitifully small area.

Yaohuaxuan where nobleman Ying lived and Ruilanxuan where nobleman Jing lived were both in the most remote corner of the palace. It took an incense stick of time to walk from the imperial garden, which really shocked Mingtan.

As soon as Mallow stepped into the gate of the palace, after obtaining the consent of nobleman Jing, she quickly sent a maid back to Kunning Palace, and asked her to pass on the news that the nine princesses were staying here.

Ming Tan is not as energetic as her, his legs are sore, he drank several cups of tea as soon as he sat down, he was too tired to talk, he slumped in the chair and ignored people, but he seemed to scare Mrs. Jing a little up.

She was afraid that the former would be annoyed by waiting, so after chatting for a while, she said that she didn't dare to delay Princess Jiu, and she was going to prepare dinner.

Ming Tan turned his head to look at the sky outside, guessing that just after Shen Shi, when he was trying to persuade Mrs. Jing not to be in a hurry, a head popped out from the inner hall, and asked timidly: "Mother Concubine, are you here?"

"Yes, Ye'er, hurry up and meet the Ninth Princess." Noble Jing hurriedly stood up and said eagerly.

Ming Tan is very interested in this Seventh Sister who has never met before.She raised her eyes and was about to say hello, but was immediately shocked by the other person's face.

There is no other reason, it's just that this girl Mingyu...is too good-looking.

She has green eyebrows and snow-white skin, holding a bright red peony in her hand, like a fairy who has just stepped out of a painting, she is looking at herself curiously.

If Ming Tan had to describe how beautiful the other party was, she could only say - almost equal to Lin Shurong.

Why almost?

Because Lin Shurong has a temperament bonus, he is still better looking than Ming Yan.

"I've seen Nine Emperor Sisters."

The fairy smiled shyly, and gave her a short blessing, so frightened that Ming Tan hurriedly jumped up to return the salute, "Sister Seventh Emperor, you are too polite."

Seeing that Ming Tan was not angry, and seemed to think that Ming Yan was very pleasing to the eye, Mrs. Jing was finally relieved, and while instructing her daughter to chat with the Ninth Princess, she took a cloak and quickly left Rui Lanxuan with a maid. .

"I heard that Nine Emperor Sisters were allowed into the upper study by father?"

Although Ming Tan was a little shy, she was obviously a very curious girl. Even though she was still shy, she insisted on chatting with Ming Tan: "What kind of place is it over there? Is the master strict? What do you have to learn?"

Ming Tan answered bluntly, "It's a big hall. Mister is very strict. You have to study the Four Books and Five Classics."

Maybe it was because she answered too boringly, Mingyu's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he was discouraged, "Oh...that seems very different from what I read in the book."

Hearing the other party mention "on the book", Ming Tan suddenly remembered what Mr. Jing said to Concubine Song not long ago, "The seventh princess doesn't want to eat and drink, but just wants to see if the flowers are the same as the book", and he couldn't help laughing in his heart.

She is so good-looking and a bookworm, she really looks like Lin Shurong.

Thinking about his family's accompanying reading, Ming Tan couldn't help but soften his eyes a little, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to talk to Ming Wei: "Is your ladyship good at cooking?"

"The dishes made by my mother and concubine are much more delicious than the imperial dining room." Ming Wei nodded seriously, "She went out so early, Jiu Huangmei must have a good meal tonight!"

Alas, what a child.So innocent and cute, it's completely different from Lin Shurong's big devil who hides his sword and gunpowder in his smile.

Ming Tan sighed in his heart, and at the same time took the initiative to throw out the topic, and had a very happy chat with Ming Yan, making the atmosphere of the chat very prosperous.

It wasn't until Mr. Jing and the palace maid came back with a few food boxes that they finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the two got along so well.

"I kept Princess Ninth waiting for a long time," she took off her cloak, and said with a smile, "Ayan, put the food, don't let the food cool down."

The palace lady responded, and opened the food box with Mallow swiftly, and put the few dishes inside on the table.

A dish of hibiscus chicken slices, a dish of Wensi tofu, a dish of steamed sea bass, and two bowls of steamed cheese with sugar.For one adult and two children, these dishes are more than enough.

"Ms. Jinggui's craftsmanship is really excellent!" Ming Tan sat down and said with emotion, "Just smelling it smells so fragrant, and eating it later, it must be called a delicacy in the world!"

"How can a concubine, He De, be able to let the princess praise her so much?"

Mrs. Jing smiled shyly, pushed the sugar-steamed pastry in front of the two girls with her own hands, and said softly, "Princess Nine, you, let's eat quickly."

Ming Wei bit his chopsticks and wrinkled his face, "My concubine doesn't make dessert for herself..."

"You have just opened a small kitchen in Empress Ying's palace, and the mother and concubine are already very embarrassed to borrow it, so how can you use more of other people's ingredients?" Jing Gui sighed and coaxed, "Okay, don't think about it too much. Eat quickly."

Only then did Ming Hao flatten his mouth, scooped up a spoonful of soft and smooth sugar steamed shortbread cheese and put it into his mouth.

"..."

Ming Tan took out a piece of hibiscus chicken with chopsticks, and looked out the window thoughtfully.

It turns out that Jinggui borrowed Yaohuaxuan's small kitchen?

Unexpectedly, the relationship between these two nobles and empresses in a corner of the palace is actually so good in private.

……

After dinner, the sun has not completely set.

Jing nobleman put his posture very low, and personally sent Ming Tan to the door; Ming Wei stood beside his concubine mother, smiling sweetly and softly at the latter, and softly invited Jiu Huangmei to come and play with him next time.

Ming Tan also gave the two of them enough face, and politely led Mallow to bow to them and leave.

Rui Lanxuan was far away, but luckily it was still daylight and the road was easy to walk, so there was no need to rush back.

Perhaps it was because the food was really delicious, and Ming Tan felt extremely comfortable eating this meal.She raised her head lazily, her eyes followed the golden sunset glow all the way down the sky, and landed on the deep red palace wall blocking the horizon in the distance, but her footsteps stopped abruptly.

She stared wide-eyed, staring at the tall figure in the glow not far away, and opened her mouth in disbelief.

"Lin—Lin Shurong?!" Ming Tan exclaimed, "Why are you here?"

The girl whose name was called raised her eyes, glanced coolly at Ming Tan who was full of astonishment, bent her arms in front of her, folded her fingertips, and hid her hands in her sleeves.

Lin Shurong snorted softly, and dragged her voice, "The courtier has rushed into the palace to deliver the Chang Chu Bingcrumbs that His Highness mentioned before... However, it seems that I came here by accident. Please, Your Highness, don't blame him."

Ming Tan: "..."

Cold-eyed, hands-free, eccentric speech——

Well, according to her understanding of her companion, she must be angry.
