Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 281 The Lost Bellyband

Gao Ming is a cautious person. After receiving the imperial decree, he opened it and looked at it. After confirming that it was indeed the imperial decree appointing Meng Chao as the governor of Anzhou, Gao Ming put it away.

In fact, it's not that Gao Ming doesn't believe in Shi Jian. After all, it's a big national event, and it's a gift from him to his father-in-law. It's right to be cautious.

After putting away the imperial decree, Gao Ming shouted into the room.

"Hey, Xin'er, your father has been appointed as the governor of Anzhou. I'm going to the military camp to pass the decree. Will you go? If you go late, you won't be able to see him!"

According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, after the imperial edict of appointment is issued, officials generally have to leave to take office as soon as possible. Although the imperial edict does not stipulate that they need to leave within a few days, everyone generally defaults to within three days. This is a matter of attitude.

For a minister like Meng Chao who was suddenly promoted, the shorter the term of office, the better. If it is longer, it will easily attract criticism. That's why Gao Ming reminded Meng Xin.

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Meng Xin's eager voice sounded in the room.

"I'm going, but...but...His Royal Highness, please come in!"

Hearing Meng Xin's words, Gao Ming frowned immediately, then waved his hand towards Shi Jian.

"Shi Jian, you go down first!"

"Yes!"

Shi Jian agreed, bowed to Gao Ming and immediately left. After she left, Gao Ming turned and walked into the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Meng Xin asked him eagerly.

"His Royal Highness, you can see my concubine's... that... that bellyband?"

When the word "belly pocket" was mentioned, Meng Xin's face was completely red, and she looked extremely shy.

After Gao Ming heard her words, he frowned immediately.

"Hey, you woman, are you used to forgetting and forgetting at home, and now you can't even find your bellyband? If you can't find it, just don't wear it."

"How does this work?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Meng Xin almost burst into tears.

"No, what should I do..."

Seeing Meng Xin who was spinning around anxiously, Su Wan'er, who was pretending to be asleep, sighed and sat up from the bed.

"Sister Xin'er, I'm afraid I can't find yours. My sister brought two here. Which one do you think you like?"

As she said that, Su Wan'er took out two bellybands from under the pillow as if she was doing a magic trick, and handed them to Meng Xin.

"what?"

Seeing that Su Wan'er suddenly took out two bellybands for herself, Meng Xin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took them. She didn't react until she took them, and then looked at Su Wan'er with a puzzled expression.

"Uh... Sister Wan'er, why are you wearing two bellybands?"

Hearing Meng Xin's words, Su Wan'er immediately gave Gao Ming an angry look, and then said pointedly: "Because my sister is also a woman who likes to forget things, if I don't prepare a few bellybands, in case I can't find them in the morning Isn't it troublesome?"

As soon as Su Wan'er finished speaking, Zhou Hong beside her also laughed.

"Yes, yes, in fact, I have also prepared two, and they are both new. Why don't you choose and see sister Xiner?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Hong also took out two red bellybands embroidered with peonies with a salary increase from under her pillow.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming was immediately dumbfounded.

Damn, these two women are getting more and more cunning, next time I will search them more strictly, and I won't leave any of them for you!
Seemingly aware of Gao Ming's thoughts, Su Wan'er suddenly turned to look at him.

"Lang Jun, do you think I should bring more bellybands next time?"

Su Wan'er's question caught Gao Ming a little off guard, he was stunned for a moment, and then coughed twice.

"Ahem... You can make up your own mind about these trivial matters, so you don't need to ask me. Okay, let's stop gossip, Xiner, get dressed quickly, and we'll set off when we're done."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Meng Xin's face turned red again, and she bit her lip.

"Then...then please turn around, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing Meng Xin like this, Gao Ming immediately sighed, then shook his head.

"Hey... I've seen it and touched it. If there's anything else to be embarrassed about, it's okay. Then I'm going out, so hurry up."

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming turned around and went out, and then closed the door. Seeing this scene, Meng Xin breathed a sigh of relief, then got up and began to get dressed.

She moved very quickly, and it took only a short while to put on the clothes. At this time, Gao Ming's voice came in from outside.

"Xin'er, let's go when we're done. I'll comb your hair in the carriage later."

"Yes, I know!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Meng Xin quickly agreed, then opened the door and walked out.

Gao Ming took Meng Xin out of the palace, and after they left for a while, Shi Shu and Shi Jian entered the house, then helped Su Wan'er and Zhou Hong get up, and helped them get dressed.

Shi Shu laughed while helping Su Wan'er comb her hair.

"Crown Princess, guess what His Royal Highness was doing outside just now?"

Hearing Shi Shu's words, Su Wan'er immediately laughed.

"What else can I do? I must be peeping. I met Sister Hong'er once when she first came here."

As soon as Su Wan'er finished speaking, Zhou Hong suddenly showed a shy face.

"His Royal Highness is good at everything, but he likes to take people's bellybands, and likes to dig out people's window paper. I don't know how many times I have repaired this window. Sister Wan'er, you don't want to persuade him."

As soon as Zhou Hong finished speaking, Shi Jian couldn't help laughing out loud, Su Wan'er gave her a reproachful look, and then shook her head helplessly at Zhou Hong.

"Other things are easy to talk about, except for this matter, His Royal Highness just agreed with his mouth, and immediately refused to admit it afterwards, so I have no choice."

At this time, Shi Jian added another sentence.

"That's why our princess has always shown His Royal Highness generously, and when dancing..."

Just as Shi Jian said the word "dancing", Su Wan'er immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and then went to pinch Shi Jian's face blushing.

"Damn girl, you're getting more and more unruly. You dare to say anything. See if I don't tear your mouth."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"I didn't say that, hehe..."

Immediately, the girls made a fuss, and there was a burst of laughter like silver bells in the room from time to time.

At this time, Gao Ming and Meng Xin also left the palace in a carriage and drove towards the Hundred Horse Guards barracks outside the city.

After about half an hour, the two arrived at the barracks of the Hundred Knights.

As soon as Gao Ming got out of the carriage, the hundred knight guards at the door recognized him, one stepped forward to salute, and the other quickly ran into the barracks to report.

Not long after Gao Ming entered the barracks, Hegan Chengji and Meng Chao greeted him, and then saluted Gao Ming and Meng Xin.

"I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince and Meng Fengyi."

Gao Ming was often greeted by people, so he didn't react too much. On the contrary, Meng Xin was a little at a loss, especially when she saw Meng Chao salute to her, she immediately panicked.

"Father, what are you doing? Get up!"

As he said that, he was about to go forward to help Meng Chao. Seeing her movement, Meng Chao quickly took two steps back.

Seeing this scene, Meng Xin was about to say something, but before she could speak, Gao Ming pulled her back, and whispered in her ear, "Don't get excited!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Meng Xin also realized her problem, and immediately stood silent, and only then did Gao Ming nod towards Hegan Chengji and Meng Chao.

"This time the crown prince is here to announce the imperial decree, and Meng Chao will accept it!"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Meng Chao knelt down immediately. Seeing him kneeling, Gao Ming took out the imperial decree and opened it in front of everyone, but just as he was about to read it, his face froze. .

Fuck, why are there so many unintelligible words?And not a single punctuation mark?How do you pronounce it?
Obviously, if Gao Ming reads the imperial edict now, something will definitely go wrong, so he rolled his eyes and closed the imperial edict with a snap.

"Okay, to make a long story short, the imperial decree is for you to be the Governor of Anzhou, nothing else is important, the imperial decree is for you!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming handed the edict directly to Meng Chao. Seeing this scene, Meng Chao was immediately dumbfounded.

"This one……"

Before Meng Chao could finish speaking, Gao Ming patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay, stop this and that, you are going to Anzhou to take office soon, and you may not see your daughter for a long time in the future, now you two, father and daughter, have a good talk."

Gao Ming made a long story short because he didn't know the words in the imperial decree, but Meng Chao didn't know this. Seeing Gao Ming being so "considerate", his face showed a touch of emotion, and he immediately bowed to Gao Ming.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"

"Well, they are all from my own family, so don't be polite."

Seeing his grateful expression, Gao Ming suddenly smiled, and then turned his head towards Hegan Chengji beside him.

"Aki, come with me, I have something to tell you."

"Yes!"

Hearing Gao Ming calling him, Hegan Chengji quickly agreed, and followed Gao Ming to the outside of the barracks.

After walking about tens of meters, Gao Ming stopped, and then turned to look at Hegan Chengji.

"Are you ready for the football game I asked you to prepare?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Hegan Chengji immediately cupped his hands towards Gao Ming.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, the team and stands are all ready. The entire rugby stand is divided into five floors. The first floor can accommodate 3000 people, the fifth floor can accommodate 6000 people, and the entire arena stands can accommodate at least 2 people. , if it is squeezed in, 3 people can be accommodated."

Hearing what Hegan Chengji said, Gao Ming's eyes widened immediately.

"There are so many?"

In fact, according to Gao Ming's original idea, the stadium completed in three months can accommodate more than 1 people. He didn't expect that Hegan Chengji would actually get him a stadium that pretended to be 3 people.

What a pleasant surprise!
