For the next few days, the Zhong Miao Yi didn't see Tang Yao again.
Early morning, there were still some dewdrops on the grass. When Zhong Miao Yi walked out of the tent, she could smell a nice fragrance that was refreshing.
In the past few days, she had been helping Madam Qing Xiu with the empress dowager's matters. Madam Qing Xiu's attitude towards her was as gentle as ever, unlike what Zhong Miao Yi had imagined.
Madame was a gentle woman, and when she spoke to her she spoke softly and kindly, as if afraid of disturbing her.
This family was like a lucky star to her, always being particularly meticulous in their tolerance for her.
"Princess, if you don't mind, how about I call you 'Miracle' from now on?" The two of them sat in silence for a while. Zhong Miao Yi did not feel awkward at all because they were focusing on the task, so she was flattered by Lady Qing Xiu's sudden words.
"Yes, Madam can call me Miaoyi."
"I heard the elders in the palace say that you are the daughter of the deceased Imperial Consort Zhong. You must have suffered a lot, right? You are so thin that it makes one's heart ache. " After a moment of silence, Lady Qing Xiu suddenly asked, feeling that her question was inappropriate. She then gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Cough, to suddenly bring up your grievances, I've been rude."
Everyone was very concerned about this issue and had never stopped questioning her identity, but since the emperor was sure that she was his daughter, even the empress dowager couldn't say much about it, it gradually became a private joke. No one came to ask about it, but it never stopped.
Since the Emperor had repeatedly forbade them from doing so, it only led to more and more wild guesses. It was better to just leave it to them and let them go as they pleased.
"That kid, Tang Yao, wasn't raised in the capital. That's why he has a very simple personality. He's a good kid, so he doesn't have a good heart." Since he likes you, then the princess must be a person with pure intentions as well. " When Madam Qing mentioned Tang Yao, she acted as if she was trying to cover up the awkwardness of her slip of the tongue. However, when it came to her son, the tender doting expression on her face couldn't be concealed at all.
Zhong Miao Yi's eyes turned sour when she heard this, she had her mother by her side. Good.
Afraid that she might cry, she quickly took two deep breaths.
Madam Qingxiu doted on Tang Yao so much that even the emperor and empress dowager wanted to betroth a princess like her to his family. How could she treat him with such kindness?
She really felt sorry for this mother and son pair.
Just as they were talking, Tang Yao suddenly entered the room. It had been a few days since they last saw each other, and he seemed to have gotten a little dark. He quickly walked in with his back facing the light.
Before Tang Yao could say anything, Lady Qing Xiu pushed him aside and said, "I don't have any other matters to attend to here. It just so happens that I've come at the right time. Didn't you say you had something to say to the princess?"
Zhong Miao Yi's heart thumped in her chest. She was so flustered that she didn't even know where she was looking. Tang Yao casually pulled at him, and with a gentle voice, she said with a smile, "Then we'll be leaving first, Mother."
Walking out of the tent, the two of them slowly walked side by side. The wide enclosure was filled with people. The place where they walked was a little out of the way, so few people noticed it.
"That one." Tang Yao suddenly raised his eyebrows. He lowered his head to look at the grass beneath his feet and kicked it. He nervously swallowed his saliva, then paused for a moment and said, "After meeting you that day, my mother already told me what she wanted to do."
Zhong Miao Yi clenched her fists tightly and tried her best to calm her breathing, "Really?"
"Me." He looked down at the green grass at his feet and kicked it with his foot. "I was afraid that my mother would not like you, but now, my mother has said that you are a good girl, and I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Before he finished speaking, he felt embarrassed and coughed lightly, pretending to look into the distance. Zhong Miao Yi took a long time to understand what he meant.
Without any warning, the Zhong Miao Yi's tears fell. Tang Yao was frightened out of her wits and was at a loss as to what to do. "What's wrong?" Did I say something wrong? Don't cry. "
The Zhong Miao Yi hurriedly shook her head as she wiped away her tears, revealing a faint smile. It wasn't that he had spoken wrongly, but she had always wanted a family. Having a child and living an ordinary life, she was afraid that Tang Yao would look down on her as well.
Now that this wish had really taken its first step, she felt that it was too illusory and beautiful, and her heart was filled with worry about gains and losses.
Seeing that she had stopped crying, Tang Yao let out a sigh of relief. He pointed at the horse not far away and pulled her back. With a smile that was half a smile, he asked her, "Do you want to ride a horse?" We can ride a horse. "
Zhong Miao Yi shook her head with lingering fear: "I. "Still won't."
Tang Yao suddenly thought back to what happened back then and thought she was still scared. He firmly gripped her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, it's alright. I'll help you tie the horse. If we don't compete, we'll just ride around and play."
However, ever since that incident, she had always been very resistant to it. Not to mention that everyone didn't want her to ride again, even she didn't want to ride herself anymore.
However, Tang Yao's encouragement gave her the idea of giving it a try once more. Blinking her eyes, she repeatedly confirmed, "Then you have to hold onto the reins." "Don't let go."
With a beaming smile, Tang Yao bent down and approached her. "Ah, I'm not letting go. I'm definitely not letting go."
His words caused Zhong Miao Yi's face to immediately turn completely red. After dodging with two steps, his laughter became even louder.
While the two of them were in high spirits, a cold snort came from somewhere nearby. Tang Yao furrowed his brows and looked around. Only then did he notice a person lying not too far away on a tree branch.
He was covered in layers of shade. If he didn't make a sound, he wouldn't be able to see where he was lying if he didn't look carefully.
Su Zeyi had been here for a long time before the two of them had arrived. He did not utter a sound, and only wanted to watch a good show.
Tang Yao's eyebrows twitched in displeasure, but he still respectfully clasped his hands together and bowed towards Su Zeyi. "Brother Ze Yi, why are you here?"
Su Zeyi laughed coldly: "If it were anyone else, would she have lost her face?!" With that, he pointed at Zhong Miao Yi and jumped down from the tree.
In reality, Tang Yao was not any shorter than Su Zeyi. The two similarly handsome man stood opposite to each other, and if it wasn't for the serious expression on their faces, it would have been a scene that caused the girls' hearts to palpitate with embarrassment.
"This big white sky, the two of you are just pulling each other's arm in front of so many people. You don't care, but what about her?!"
