Jade Space of Rebirth

Chapter 178 Meeting the Prince 1
For example, when Mrs. Li was eating, she forgot to move. She looked at the bowl in her hand and didn’t know what she was thinking. But there was a flash of sadness, or her topic was always entangled in Xinghua Village, Xinghua Village where there was no Tang Zhi sister and brother at that time...

"Mother, I want to sleep with you tonight, okay?" Tang Zhi suddenly pulled Li's arm and said coquettishly after dinner.

"Uh... good!" Mrs. Li froze for a moment, then nodded and smiled at her daughter.

Tang Zhi tried not to look at that smile, because that smile that seemed bright in the eyes of others was filled with countless bitterness and tears in her eyes...

"Zhi'er, do you have something to hide from Aunt Cao?" Cao Shi pulled Tang Zhi aside while Li Shi returned to the room and asked seriously.

"Aunt Cao, there are some things I don't want to hide from you, but now is not the time to tell them. I will tell you after I confirm something..." Tang Zhi also suppressed the unreal smile on her face, and looked at Cao's face. Seriously.

"Okay then!" Mrs. Cao was a little worried, but still nodded, "But you have to promise Aunt Cao, and you must tell Aunt Cao if there is anything you can't think of!"

"Well, Aunt Cao, let's go rest!" Tang Zhi nodded.

"Little sister!" Tang Xin's voice came from outside the door at this time, Tang Zhi looked, and saw her elder brother and sister walking in together, and Tang Xin who called Tang Zhi came over with what looked like a painting in her hand, When she walked in front of Tang Zhi, she put the painting in Tang Zhi's hand, and Tang Qi next to her jokingly said, "Little sister, this is something from Master Shi! Open it and see what it is! "

Tang Qi was very excited, as if he was the one who was given the gift, and kept urging Tang Zhi to open it to see what it was. Seeing the curious look of the eldest brother and sister, Tang Zhi seemed to have dispersed the haze that had been suppressed for a long time. Some, she asked while untying the silk thread on the scroll, "How did this thing get into your hands?"

Tang Xin simply replied, "Brother and I just walked to the door of the house and saw a person standing there. I asked him and found out that it was Master Shi. He said he was giving something to you, little sister, so we brought it along! "

"Oh, that's it!" Tang Zhi nodded. At this moment, the painting scroll in her hand had been opened. Tang Qi thoughtfully held one side and put it on the table, while Tang Zhi held it and slowly opened the painting scroll. What caught people's eyes was a graceful figure, and as the painting tubes were all moved away, the appearance of that figure was also revealed.

But seeing the black pupils of the person in the painting are pleated and colorful, a pair of eyes seem to catch people's attention, with black eyebrows and a fine nose, delicate face, wearing an elegant long skirt, standing on the tip of the grass, the graceful figure is fully displayed, because in the painting The person is standing sideways, at first glance, it seems that she is looking at someone affectionately...

Tang Zhichu was also taken aback when she saw this painting. Over the years, she has drawn countless paintings for her family and others, but she has never painted for herself, because she doesn't have a deep impression of herself, but now someone is satisfied. Her regret is that she was drawn so vividly, and when she looked at it carefully, Tang Zhi, who never thought that faults could capture the charm of people, had no choice but to overthrow her paranoid idea, because this painting did it , it demonstrates the artistry of the painter, and Tang Zhi, who has been painting for more than ten years, couldn't help sighing.

Looking at the painting in the room, Tang Qi and Tang Xin couldn't help but smile ambiguously at Tang Zhi, "Little sister, this painting is exactly the same as yours, tell me if what mother said is true, you like this master ten! "

"I..." Tang Zhi felt embarrassed when asked by her brother and sister. She looked up at the joke in the eyes of the two, and blushed unconsciously. Seeing this phenomenon in the eyes of the two brothers and sisters, she couldn't help it She exclaimed, knowing that she would never have the chance to see Tang Zhi blushing, does this mean that the little girl is really interested in this man?

"Zhi'er is getting shy, so you can go around her!" Tang Zhi looked down at Cao Shi, who couldn't bear it anymore, and came up to help Tang Zhi.

Seeing the brothers and sisters sigh in tacit understanding, looking at Cao's eyes is full of grievances, "Aunt Cao, you are too partial to younger sisters, we are also concerned about her!"

"Then you can't ask questions like this. Have you forgotten that your sister is thin-skinned?" Cao Shi pretended to be serious when she heard the words, but the smile in her eyes could be clearly seen.

Tang Qi and Tang Xin gasped suddenly, she has a thin skin?Then they all shook their heads, if Tang Zhi was thin-skinned, how thin should they be?
But in the end, the two of them also listened to Cao Shi's words, and they didn't ask any more questions except for giving Tang Zhi a few ambiguous glances before leaving.

"Aunt Cao, do you think I'm too unreserved?" Tang Zhi asked Cao with a frown while putting away the painting after her brother and sister left.

Cao didn't know how to answer for a while, but seeing Tang Zhi's gentle eyes when she glanced at the painting, she said, "Since Zhi'er has made a decision in her heart, she should know that being reserved in this kind of thing will only be a kind of kindness." It's just an obstacle, people who love each other should show their true self..."

Tang Zhi nodded half-understood, "Then I'll stick to my own ideas for the time being!"

Cao Shi was on the side but didn't make a sound.She is a person who is good at observation. From Tang Zhi's face, she can see that this tenth master is unusual in her heart. It's just that Tang Zhi, who has always been a bold and unconstrained temperament in her heart, said "hold on temporarily" At the time of the four words, Cao's heart inexplicably felt a little distressed.

Maybe others can't see it, but Cao, who has been with Tang Zhi for a long time, can feel that Tang Zhi, who is absolutely strong in front of everything, seems to be a little shy about this feeling, just like a person in the water. The children playing by the pond wanted to play in the water but were a little afraid of the water, so they kept putting their feet in the water, but put them away after a while, and then stretched out again...

"Aunt Cao, what's the matter with you?" When she felt Cao's sizing up, Tang Zhi happened to see the way she looked at her. She saw that it was a look showing concern for her. Tang Zhi thought she was worried What I said to her before, I stepped forward and hugged her arm and acted like a baby, "Aunt Cao, don't worry about me, I'm fine!"

Cao Shi nodded to her.

In the room, Mrs. Li had already made the bed, because the mother and daughter would sleep in the same bed tonight, so Mrs. Cao added an extra pillow and put some soft mattresses on it, for fear that her daughter would not feel comfortable sleeping.

Tang Zhi quietly walked into the door, and what she saw was stretching out the bed, with a smile on her face, she softly called out, "Mother, I'm here!"

"Well, come here and wash your face first!" Seeing her, Mrs. Li also smiled, turned around and went to the basin, wet the cloth and handed it to Tang Zhi, who took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, mother! "

"You don't need to be polite with your mother." Li Shi glanced at her and said with a smile, and his expression gradually dimmed after finishing speaking, "Mother has not been by your side these years, and I have always thought in my heart that I will help you when I see Zhi'er." Zhi'er puts on clothes, washes... When she was young, Zhi'er was too obedient and sensible, so she didn't have to worry about her, but now that she finally sees her again, she just wants to do all these things again!"

"Mother..." Tang Zhineng could feel the sadness in these words, and the circles of her eyes couldn't help but feel a little hot, but she held back and smiled at Mrs. Li, "Mother wants to do it, and Zhi'er will cooperate." Mother!" "Zhi'er..." Mrs. Li was surprised when she heard the words, and when she turned her head and saw Tang Zhi's serious face, she couldn't help but smile, "Mother, that is to say, Zhi'er is so old that she doesn't need it anymore." Mother helped me get dressed!"

"So what if I'm older, I just want to pester my mother every day!" Tang Zhi pouted and stepped forward, wrapping her arms around Li's waist.

Mrs. Li looked at her daughter who was in her arms, her smile became warmer. In a blink of an eye, her daughter who was not even as tall as her waist was already taller than her. It turned out that so much time had passed before she knew it... Mrs. Li Silently let out a sigh, those eyes seemed to hide countless melancholy thoughts, but they quickly hid them in the blink of an eye.

When Tang Zhi looked up, she was looking at Li Shi who was staring at her lovingly. She couldn't help raising her head and said in a crisp voice, "Mother, after we find our younger brother, our family will leave the capital and return to our Qingcheng, okay?"

"Uh... good!" Shi Li nodded with a smile.

The corner of Tang Zhi's mouth couldn't help but pull out a smile. She buried her head on Tang Zhi's waist again, but the smile faded away when she lowered her head.She read it right... Mother hesitated just now... Did she really go to see that person...

……

After a few days!

At the gate of the city, a dusty carriage slowly drove in, and a long line of people guarded the beautiful and luxurious carriage. The sound of wheels, horseshoes, and walking sounded one after another.

The carriage drove to the gate of the city and the guard glanced at the first groom, and waved to the companions around him without saying a word. They stepped forward and pushed open the wooden fence blocking the gate, while the carriage did not stop at all. Enter the city gate.

"Who is this? If you don't check, let him go?"

Until the team had all walked in and moved away, a soldier who had just come to defend the city asked his companion, and the man gave him a contemptuous look, "Silly hat, didn't you see the flag hanging on the carriage? Young Master Xiao's carriage!"

"Master Xiao's?" The man raised his brows when he heard the words, "I've heard of this man, isn't he a businessman? Why do they have to give way when they enter the city?"

"You are really stupid to say you are stupid! Ask anyone in this capital who doesn't know that Young Master Xiao is leading the prince to play this time, and there are many children from your family. You say that this battle is yours, do you dare to stop it?" The guard who had just spoken made a mocking noise, then looked at the carriage that had already left Juechen, shook his head and sighed, "If only I had such a life, I would sit in a sedan chair every day and not have to bask in the sun here." Already!"

"Oh, that's right!" The scolded soldier rubbed his head with a silly smile, and then went to stand guard at the gate of the city without asking any more questions.

The Xiao family's carriage stopped when it was approaching the market, Young Master Xiao and his entourage got off the carriage without alarming others, and then the carriage continued on its way.

"Young Master, what are we going to the Prime Minister's Mansion now?" It seemed that he didn't understand that Young Master Xiao, who had just returned to the city, rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion instead of going back to Xiao's house, so the attendants were a little curious.

Young Master Xiao didn't turn his head back and said, "Talk about things, just wait for me at the door later, I'll come out soon!"

"Huh? Oh!" The entourage was taken aback for a moment, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions when they saw that Young Master Xiao was walking in a hurry, and just followed him silently.

In front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the guards found out about Young Master Xiao's side, and sent someone into the mansion. Young Master Xiao stood at the door and waited. After a while, the housekeeper came out and took Da Xiao Xiao personally. Less welcomed in.

In the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion!

"I heard that Young Master Xiao went to Baiwang City with several princes and sons, but he came back so soon?" A servant made tea for Young Master Xiao, and Tang Sicheng personally brought it to him.

Young Master Xiao took it with a smile, and replied, "To be honest, Xiao actually just came back, and came here after accompanying the prince and the others into the city!"
