However, this exception will no longer be an exception in the future.
Xia Tan'er lowered her eyes and smiled to herself.
Nan Lingmu tilted his head, feeling strange.
When he looked at Xia Tan'er, there seemed to be a sadness behind the smile.
He thought that maybe he had accidentally stung Xia Tan'er's pain.
Nan Lingmu opened his mouth to comfort him.
"It's Xiao Wang who is presumptuous. If Miss Tan'er doesn't want to say anything, she can just ignore Xiao Wang's question and don't have to force herself to answer Xiao Wang's words."
I didn't expect that.
This Nanling Mu actually respects people so much.
Is it better to say that he has a high emotional intelligence or that he has been around the imperial court and various people for a long time since he was a child?
In short, Xia Tan'er is still very comfortable listening to Nan Lingmu's words.
She doesn't mind making friends, she just hates betrayal.
"Thank you, Second Prince, for your understanding."
Nanling Mu curled her lips and smiled slightly.
"If Miss Tan'er hasn't found a place to stay, she can go back to the palace with Xiao Wang."
"There are many vacant rooms in Xiao Wang's palace."
This sentence is sincere.
Nan Lingmu didn't know why, but felt that as long as he was close to Xia Tan'er, he would feel very safe.
Even his mother and concubine had never given him this kind of sense of security.
"Thank you very much for His Highness the Second Prince's kindness. However, Tan'er cannot cause trouble for His Highness the Second Prince. Tan'er just reconciled and left, but then turned around and went to the Second Prince's palace. Please forgive me for the inconvenience."
"Xiao Wang behaves upright and sits upright, so he doesn't care about these lies at all. However, Miss Tan'er is from a daughter's family, so it is reasonable for her to have such concerns. It is Xiao Wang's lack of consideration."
Talking.
The waiter led several people and walked up holding trays.
Place the dishes you ordered earlier one by one.
In Kyushu Continent, there is no round table, let alone a turntable on a round table.
Because Xia Tan'er gave Song Lingcheng some advice before.
After Song Lingcheng tested it, he found it very useful, so he ordered someone to prepare a copy for each room.
Not only the guests, but also the waiter and waiter found it much more convenient.
When they got together in private, they often praised the person who came up with the idea.
Even Nan Lingmu couldn't help but marvel at the waiter's actions as he placed a dish and turned the turntable.
Xia Tan'er, the person involved, listened to the praise but smiled without saying a word.
"The dishes are all here, please take advantage of them."
"Second Prince, please."
"Miss Tan'er, please come too."
There was no need for servants to serve the dishes, and there were only the two of them in the room. They were eating and talking here, and there were not so many red tapes, which made Nan Lingmu feel very comfortable.
As if, in front of Xia Tan'er.
The ethics and teachings that have been memorized since childhood have all become shackles that restrain oneself. Only freedom is higher than the sky.
Nine Princes' Mansion.
The front of the desk is filled with official documents.
But Dong Lingjiu couldn't read a single word, and was in a troubled mood. In his mind, he kept recalling Xia Tan'er's indifference when everything settled at the banquet.
"master."
"explain."
"The secret guard came to report that after having lunch at Xiaoxiang Restaurant, Miss Xia and Nanling Mu did not go to the Lu Mansion or return to the Jin Prince's Mansion, but found an inn to stay."
"However, shortly after moving in, Miss Xia's maid Hongxiu walked out, while Miss Xia was still resting in the room."
"Which inn?"
"Yelai Inn, the first one in Tianzihao."
The words just fell.
Shaoqing raised his eyes again.
Aventurine Nine in front of the desk has disappeared.
Inside the wing of Yuelai Inn.
Eat and drink enough.
Xia Tan'er lay comfortably on the bed and rubbed her belly gently. She really didn't want to move at all.
After a while, sleepiness came over me.
Xia Tan'er took out the brocade quilt she carried with her from the smart medical bag, covered a corner of her belly, and prepared to relax her body and mind and have a restful sleep.
Just close your eyes.
Just hear the window squeak.
An unexpected guest has arrived.
Xia Tan'er took a deep breath.
Open your eyes, push yourself up, and sit up.
He raised his eyes.
She saw Dong Lingjiu sitting at the table, staring at her with a gloomy face.
"Uncle Nine Emperors is here, but I have something important to discuss with my daughter-in-law?"
Xia Tan'er has not forgotten the debt of gratitude.
However, the only connection between the two is love.
Wait for her to finish.
There was no relationship between the two of them, and they broke up.
Hear the alienation in Xia Tan'er's mouth.
Dong Lingjiu was irritated.
He didn't like Xia Tan'er being so outspoken.
But even so, he never revealed his inner feelings in front of Xia Tan'er.
He just kept a cold face.
"Tan'er, are you blaming me for not helping you at the banquet?"
"My daughter is just a commoner. She doesn't dare to do anything to the Nine Emperors Uncle. How dare she blame the Nine Emperors Uncle?"
The words were normal, but they sounded so awkward.
"You're angry?"
"Why is my daughter angry?"
"...Because of me?"
"Uncle Nine Emperors and my daughter have nothing to do with each other. Why should my daughter be angry with Uncle Nine Emperors?"
Xia Tan'er has always been a cold-hearted and unfeeling person.
The defense line in my heart is higher than the sky.
Once you have been hurt once,
Regardless of any relationship between the other party and yourself, in the end it will only remain a casual acquaintance.
Even if it’s someone you like no matter how much you like.
After all, she only loves herself in this world.
It was like a hard punch to cotton.
Dong Lingjiu's question didn't make any waves.
He had never seen such a calm and fearless Xia Tan'er.
He missed the Xia Tan'er who would throw herself into his arms and cry bitterly when she was wronged.
"Tan'er, let's have a good talk."
"What happened today was not within my expectation. I didn't mean not to help."
"Uncle Nine Emperors doesn't need to explain, Tan'er understands everything."
Xia Tan'er turned her head and lost the patience to listen to Dong Lingjiu's explanation.
She just felt that he was making a lot of noise and wasting her good sleep time.
"You don't understand. I deliberately ignored you today."
"In front of others, you must not let outsiders discover that you are familiar with me."
"My king has a special status. If you are discovered by the emperor brother, I will treat you well. The emperor brother will definitely use you to blackmail me."
"That's why I pretend to be unfamiliar with you."
Dong Lingjiu always spoke little, but today in front of Xia Tan'er, he almost said all his words in his life.
But Xia Tan'er heard the sound in her left ear and out in her right ear, and didn't hear a word.
At this moment, Dong Lingjiu was allowed to chatter in his ears, but he was already thinking about how to decorate and arrange the medical center and house.
"So, Tan'er, I really didn't do this on purpose."
Speaking of which.
Dong Lingjiu stretched out his hand to hold Xia Tan'er.
But unexpectedly, Xia Tan'er took her hand back before she even touched it.
Dong Lingjiu's heart tightened.
Somewhat panicked.
He asked quickly.
"Tan'er, you don't want to forgive me?"
