Standing by the bushes, Ming Tan rolled his eyes, turning a deaf ear to Ming Xiao's wailing and cursing.

She tilted her head, held the trembling hand of the girl beside her, raised her face, and smiled sweetly at the other party: "Sister Sanhuang, let's go."

Ming Zhao is a meek character, never causing trouble, at the moment he was already petrified by this accident, he just nodded in a daze, shivering, and walked away with Ming Tan's guidance.

It wasn't until the two of them walked out of the courtyard of the upper study room and came to a secluded place that Ming Zhao seemed to have finally regained his composure. He held Ming Tan and hurriedly said, "I haven't thanked Jiuhuangmei for your help..."

"You don't need to thank me, San Huangjie." Ming Tan waved his hand with a very careless expression, "I just don't like Ming Xiao all the time, so I just want to take advantage of your incident to avenge my personal revenge."

"...No matter what the purpose of Jiu Huangmei is, in the end, she did me a big favor."

Ming Zhao shook his head, denied her saying "no need to say thank you", and said with a tense tone, "However, just now, acting like that... will it cause trouble for the Nine Emperors? The Fourth Emperor is always self-willed and reserved. Ao, I have never suffered such a hardship, if Concubine Ning finds out that the Nine Emperor Sisters did it, I'm afraid..."

"Third Sister, don't worry too much." Ming Tan raised his eyebrows, seeing that she was so worried about him, he felt that the third princess was interesting.

"Just let Ming Xiao act as a demon, why would I be afraid of trouble?"

... However, despite her insane words, everyone knows that if Concubine Ning insists on this matter and refuses to let go, and is determined to protect her weaknesses, then even if the Ninth Princess is favored by her, she will inevitably have to carry a "crime" on her back. Disrespecting the elders" is a crime, so I suffered a big loss.

What's more, at this time, there was a severe drought in Yuanzhou, and the status of Ning Shangshu in the household department was rising——

Ming Zhao bit his lower lip, lowered his brows and eyes with a hint of melancholy, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a slow voice: "If the time comes, Si Huangmei and Concubine Ning won't let it go... I still hope nine years will come." There is no need for imperial sister to be lenient, forget about what you did today, and just push me out."

Hearing these words, Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes couldn't help being a little surprised, but he really didn't expect her to answer like this.

"As the emperor's sister, Mingzhao is the cause of this matter, so naturally he should be held accountable," the third princess pursed her lips slightly, smiled at her, and said gratefully, "We must not let Nine Emperor Sisters, because of a momentary act of kindness, On the contrary, I was implicated by this innocent."

"..."

What is pure kindness and gentleness?

that's!

Lin Shurong's kind of black-hearted student overlord is not pure, kind and gentle!

Ming Tan was almost moved to the point of tears. On the spot, he was full of desire to protect. With a wave of his little hand, he said loudly, "Sister Sanhuang Gao Yi, Ming Tan admires me! But most of the responsibility for this matter lies with me, how can I let you block the gun?

Seeing that Ming Zhao was about to say more, Ming Tan simply stood on tiptoe, grabbed the other party's shoulder, looked straight into her eyes, and said firmly: "You don't have to think so much, just go back to the palace. Just pretend you don't know about the next thing, don't meddle, I'll take care of it myself!"

……

Sure enough, when it was just dark, the news that "the ninth princess beat the fourth princess so badly that her face was scratched" spread throughout the palace.

Although the bush didn't have thorns, the small branches were also sharp. Although it wasn't to the extent of "scratching your face", it was still easy for Ming Xiao to hang some paint.

When the matter spread to Kunning Palace, the Queen immediately called Ming Tan to ask why.

"Tan'er, is it true or not? Did you really hit your fourth sister in the school?"

"Then how can it be called a beating?" Ming Tan said lazily, "I just kicked her. Who knows that the fourth princess can't even stand firmly."

Seeing her generous admission, the queen frowned, her expression became a little stricter, and she asked, "Then why did you kick her?"

"Because Mingxiao was bullying Sanhuangjie at that time, and even insulted Mrs. Ying's mother's family as 'servants serving animals'."

Ming Tan straightened his body a bit, and said plausibly: "Tan'er has been in school for many days, studying the books of sages and sages, and learning about etiquette and dignity. Seeing this scene, he immediately became angry. How could he tolerate Ming Xiao's being in the palace like this?" Presumptuous?"

The empress choked on this great truth, neither boasting nor reprimanding. After struggling for a while, she could only say dryly: "Then you shouldn't act impulsively..."

Ming Tan pursed his lips and was about to speak, but Du Ye's slightly tense announcement came from outside the door: "Empress Empress, Chief Manager Sheng Da is seeking to see you outside."

"Sheng'an?"

The queen was startled, and looked at Ming Tan, and the mother and daughter realized almost at the same time: Sheng An must have come for the fourth princess Ming Xiao's affairs.

The queen subconsciously grabbed her daughter's hand, her usually gentle willow-leaf eyebrows were tightly frowned, and she looked very calm and pretentious.

"...Send him in."

After a while, Mr. Sheng An walked into the hall under Du Ye's guidance, and made a big salute to the Queen and Ming Tan, and respectfully said, "Greetings to the Empress and Your Highness the Ninth Princess."

"Please, Eunuch Sheng," the empress said solemnly, "It's so late, why are you here at my Kunning Palace?"

"The slave has no intention of disturbing the empress and the princess," Sheng An showed distress, and kowtowed again to explain, "It's only His Majesty who ordered that the Ninth Princess be invited to Tianhong Palace."

"..."

The queen lowered her eyelashes as expected, and asked coldly: "In Tianhong Hall, is there only His Majesty?"

As an old man who has lived in the palace for many years, Sheng An immediately understood what the queen meant.He thought for a while, but he didn't lie, and replied directly: "At night, Concubine Ning came to Tianhong Hall to deliver porridge to His Majesty, and she hasn't left yet."

It really was Concubine Ning.

The queen closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and made a gesture to stand up, "I will go with Tan'er."

Sheng An was taken aback, and was just about to speak out to dissuade, but saw Ming Tan who was next to him step forward half a step, exerting force with his hands, and pushed the queen back into the seat first.

"It's getting darker and more dewy outside. The queen mother still doesn't want to go out, and be careful to catch the cold and suffer."

The girl in the white skirt smiled slightly, turned to look at Sheng An, her eyes were unpredictable, but her tone was calm enough to say: "Since it is the order of my father, there will be no delay... Eunuch Sheng, please."

……

The distance from Kunning Palace to Tianhong Palace is not far.

It is late spring now, although the night is not as cold as before, but when the wind blows, it still brings a bit of coolness.

Mingtan's skirt was rather thin, and she couldn't help but shivered from the wind.Even though the movement was small, it still attracted Sheng An, who had a keen observation ability, to ask, "Is Your Highness cold?"

Ming Tan shook his head, "No problem, Mr. Lao has taken care of you."

Sheng An withdrew his gaze thoughtfully, stopped talking, and accelerated his pace a little, leading Ming Tan to the outside of Tianhong Hall not long after.

The two of them climbed the stone steps, but before entering the hall, they heard the crying of a woman from inside.After listening carefully for a while, it was indeed Concubine Ning who was complaining to the emperor.

"...Xiaoxiao's cheeks and arms were broken, and she returned to Chongle Palace covered in blood, but she shocked the concubines and Xuan'er!... She is a princess, pampered and pampered since she was a child, has she ever been treated like this? I don't know what kind of enmity His Highness Ninth Prince has with Xiaoxiao to harm her in such a cruel way! You must seek justice for Xiaoxiao!"

Sheng An was a little embarrassed, and turned to look at Ming Tan.

The latter still had a calm expression, as if he hadn't heard Concubine Ning's complaint, and even stretched out a hand with a smile, signaling Sheng An to pass the message quickly.

Sheng An was a little surprised by her calmness and calmness, nodded quickly, walked quickly to the front of the palace gate and said loudly: "Your Majesty! The Ninth Princess is here!"

The cries in the room could be retracted freely, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

There was silence for a while, and after about ten breaths, the emperor's angry voice came out.

"I'm so used to this Ming Tan on weekdays! How dare you do such a disorderly thing outside of the study room, openly hurting the imperial sister - such behavior should be punished! She knelt down to me!"

Ming Tan bit his lip.

Even though she was mentally prepared, she could not help being reprimanded by her father, who always loved her, her eyes were slightly red, and some childish grievances appeared in her heart for no reason.

Forget it, isn't it just kneeling?The queen mother is right, this is the price of acting impulsively.

She sniffled, suppressing the soreness in her heart, and was about to kneel as soon as she lifted the corner of her skirt.

But suddenly a hand stretched out beside her, holding her arm firmly without leaning to one side, just in time to stop Ming Tan's movements.

Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look, and saw Mrs. Sheng An showing a kind smile to her, his chubby face was full of kindness, and whispered: "Your Highness, don't worry, put this on the mat before kneeling."

As he spoke, he glanced furtively into the hall, took out the hand behind his back, and was holding two thick knee pads.

Ming Tan was really surprised now.

She looked at Sheng An blankly, but the latter seemed to have known her doubts, and while ordering the maids standing by to put on Ming Tan's knee pads, she lowered her voice and briefly explained to Ming Tan: "This His Majesty personally ordered it. The stone steps outside the Tianhong Palace are cold, if the princess kneels directly, it will be bad if she hurts her knee..."

There was a soft touch on the knee, Ming Tan blinked, and as soon as he whispered his thanks, Sheng An turned his head and shouted inside: "Your Majesty, the ninth princess is already kneeling."

"Hmph," the emperor's voice in the hall still sounded angry, and he couldn't tell that he was acting, "Just let her kneel!"

Ming Tan: "..."

Tiancheng Oscar belongs to you.

She knelt down quickly in a daze.

There are soft and thick cotton cushions on the knees, which completely cut off the coolness of the stone steps; the evening wind is slightly cold, seeing that Mingtan's clothes are too thin, Sheng'an still took a cloak for her from nowhere; Holding snacks and hot porridge in hand, lowering his voice, he leaned next to Ming Tan to ask for warmth, "Is the princess cold? Are you hungry?", "Your Majesty specifically asked the maidservants to make you use some hot porridge. Frozen to death"...

Several young eunuchs also looked like they were on the verge of a formidable enemy, stretching their bodies tensely and waiting for orders at any time.Manager Sheng Da was even more considerate, he simply rolled himself into a fat ball, squatted beside Ming Tan, and asked in every detail: "Do you want my servant to bring your highness another Tang Pozi? Does your highness still feel cold in his knees? Can you?" The slave will lay another layer of cushions for His Highness?"

"..." Ming Tan held a bowl of hot sweet porridge, shook his head, and began to think whether he would sweat from being covered.

No matter how you look at it, it is not to punish yourself, but to let her experience the five-star service of Tianhong Palace, right?

Ming Tan raised his eyes and looked at the half-open door of Tianhong Hall, only feeling the sweetness of the hot porridge in his mouth, from the tip of his tongue to the bottom of his heart.

She lowered her eyelashes, put the porridge bowl aside, folded her hands, put them on her forehead, and faced the main entrance of Tianhong Hall upright, bowed deeply and kowtowed.

I never imagined that she would be lucky enough to be loved so much by her father...

"Longlin is ashamed and dare not take it," Ming Tan said in a low voice, "I will spend my whole life demonstrating filial piety."
