Chapter 17 Posture
The old general Nalan looked at his grandson with a smile. His facial features, which looked very similar to Empress Nalan, made him look handsome and luxurious but without any feminine spirit, and quickly asked him to waive the tribute. At this time, Nalan Wan, who was originally sitting beside him, slowly stood up and gave a standard ladies to Prince Mingzhao, and said carefully: "My daughter has seen the prince, and his highness is blessed with Jin'an."
The old general and Uncle Yun, the housekeeper who had just brought tea to Prince Mingzhao, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he saw this. Miss Nalan began to automatically become the role of a sick daughter again.
"This is my cousin, so there is no need to be so much courtesy. By seniority, you should call me a cousin." It was not until Nalan Wan spoke that Prince Mingzhao discovered that there was another person in the room besides the veteran General Nalan. How inconspicuous his cousin is. He had never noticed such a big living person before!
After looking closely, Nalan Wan wore a light pink Ruan Yan Luo Xiang dress today. The skirt was fluttering, showing the gentle temperament of a lady from a family. Her hair was not as combed into a lily bun as when she entered the palace yesterday. Instead, she was casually draped behind her. She only tied a hairband of the same color as the light pink dress casually behind her. It was simple, but fresh and refined.
Compared with Lao Chen at the palace banquet yesterday, today's outfit is much more beautiful and tender, but... she still has no sense of existence. Looking at her eyebrows and eyes, a pair of black jade eyes in her delicate and beautiful eyes are dull, and her whole body exudes a cautious and submissive voluntary, as if she can't dress up anyway.
"Don't be nervous, I'm just here to visit my grandfather today." Seeing her restrained look, Ming Zhao couldn't help but frown, but he still thoughtfully changed his claim to "me" instead of "I am the prince", "I am the palace" and so on. Why is this cousin so afraid of being angry?
Nalan Wan saw Prince Mingzhao's eyes flowing, and knew that he was whispering to him in his heart, but he did not see contempt in his eyes. Instead, he felt a little worried and doubtful. He thought he was protecting himself, and warmth gradually flowed through his heart.
"Yes, girl, although you rarely meet the prince, you will meet with the cousin in the end. We will get closer in the future. Today, we will sit down to talk to your cousin with the old man." After all, the old general Nalan did not expose Nalan Wan, but cooperated with her acting.
"Yes." Nalan Wan gave the old general a blank look at the place outside the corner of Prince Mingzhao's eyes. This little old man likes to make trouble for her. What can she say with her cousin who has only met one or two times!
The old general Nalan turned a blind eye to the rolling eyes she threw over and said kindly: "That's right." Then he turned his head to Prince Mingzhao who had already sat down to have a tea, "Boy Ming, why did you think of coming to see me today?"
Prince Mingzhao put down the teacup and said with a little laugh: "Grandpa is getting stronger, why is it a bad old man? If the country is in danger, with such a strong body as grandpa, I am afraid that it will still be possible to go to the battlefield!"
"You boy, don't flatter me. Old man, haven't I served the country enough yet? I've also thought about lying to work hard for your Ming family all day long. Old man, I won't do it!" Old General Nalan looked unhappy, but in fact, he was a little proud when he heard others say that he was strong and strong.
Many generals suffered more or less pain when they were old, but they were in good spirits and healthy.
Prince Mingzhao smiled and didn't say anything to refute. The luxurious spirit was natural.
Nalan Wan, who was sitting aside, listened quietly to the two of them chatting. His cousin is not only tall and handsome, but also has a great momentum. He is thoughtful and at ease when speaking. He can firmly sit in the position of prince in such a scheming place as the palace. He is a very notorious person!
"My cousin, I don't see you leaving the house on weekdays. If you have time, you might as well come to my cousin's East Palace to sit more often. Although the girl is at home, it is necessary to socialize." If he remembers correctly, his cousin, who is a little afraid of having sex, has been in the hair for about a year. Logically speaking, most ladies should have been married long ago.
Prince Mingzhao gave him good intentions, and Nalan Wan couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Xiao Wan obeyed the prince's will."
Ming Zhao shook his head helplessly and smiled. His cousin was still a little too reserved. However, he didn't see the old general Nalan leaning on the soft couch almost unable to hold back his laughter when he heard this sentence. It turned out that the stinky girl was acting so realistically!
"Why didn't you see your uncle today? Didn't you return home after you went to court?" Ming Zhao changed the topic.
Nalan Wan was very happy. She racked her brains last night and finally won a game of chess. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to go out and play for a month, but after thinking about it, she gave up this tempting big cake in pain and forced her father to do something big for her. At this moment, it should have been done, right?
As soon as it was almost time, Nalan Wan got up and resigned to Prince Mingzhao and Old General Nalan. No matter how her grandfather was about to collapse to the ground, nothing was as important as hers!
"Grandpa, Ming Zhao has something to say, don't be surprised." When Prince Ming Zhao never saw Nalan Wan again, he spoke seriously to the veteran General Nalan.
The old general Nalan seemed to know what he was going to say, and he stroked his white beard with a cunning look, "You kid, just say whatever you want, what are you doing in a circle? We are a family, so what are you not surprised by."
Prince Mingzhao responded with a shy voice, and then hesitated: "My cousin is gentle and virtuous, but her temperament is too weak. She is the only legitimate daughter of the general's mansion, and she will definitely be the wife of a prominent family in the future. Such a weak personality, let alone being the head mistress of a mansion, even if she gets along with the concubines in the backyard, she will probably suffer a great loss."
If Nalan Wan is really so kind, what Prince Ming Zhao said is true. In the past, which man does not have three wives and four concubines in a noble family? Where there are many women, there will be more right and wrong. Either this one is competing for favor today or tomorrow’s one is causing trouble. To put it bluntly, the backyard of each noble family is a place of right and wrong. If the mistress of the head family does not have some tricks and decisions and is bullied by her concubines all day long, her life will not be easy.
Knowing that Prince Mingzhao's words were out of good intentions, Old General Nalan could not tell him the fact that Nalan Wan pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, otherwise the girl would definitely not pay attention to him for a year! She had to pretend to sigh, "How come I don't understand the old man you said, but I don't know who the girl has followed, and she can't find any mistakes on weekdays, but she just...what should you do?"
The old general Nalan quietly threw the problem back to Prince Mingzhao, first to avoid him from revealing things that should not have been leaked, and secondly, he also wanted to take the school entrance exam as his grandson.
"As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country and nature, but it is difficult to change the nature of a late cousin. It is probably impossible to change his character." Prince Ming Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "In the opinion of his grandson, how prominent the General Mansion of Dingguo is, and his uncle has no male inheritance. Instead of marrying his late cousin to another high-ranking family, it is better to recruit a son-in-law to marry into the General Mansion. On the one hand, he inherits the family background of Nalan Mansion, and on the other hand, he is in his own yard, are he afraid that his late cousin will suffer a loss?"
I have to say that this is indeed the best of both worlds.
