The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 194

Master Ma still didn't want to let her go, and smiled a little more: "Whoever marries Miss Su is really his blessing."

"Old man, you praise me too much." With a smile on her brows and eyes, her expression remained unchanged, and her gaze swept across the rest of the kiln.

"It's the truth. I don't praise people very much." His expression was serious, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Min raised her eyes and smiled with her lips drawn. "Master Ma, I'll go and have a look over there too, it's okay."

"Go."

He stopped in his tracks, looked at Su Min's slender figure, his face sank, his eyes were deep and unpredictable, and there was no other emotion on his solemn face.

What a satisfying candidate.

After patrolling the Ma's kiln for a long time, then Mr. Ma kindly invited her to have a meal at Ma's house, and she didn't shirk, and walked into the side hall of Ma's house with him.

The layout of the Ma's house is somewhat similar to that of the big families in the south of the Yangtze River, not too extravagant, but in every tiny corner, one can see the ingenuity of the owner's house, which is very unique.

Outside the side hall is a flower garden, so when eating, you can faintly smell the fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel good.

She couldn't help saying the words of praise, smiling slightly. "The Ma's house is really like a garden. When the old man built the courtyard, it must have been a big project."

Mr. Ma watched the servants put the dishes on the table one by one, with an unchanging serious expression. "I have been in the shopping malls for several years, and I have finally made my mark. The money I earn has nothing to do with my wishes. I just need to buy a real estate in the capital and have a home. So, spend more money and make this home magnificent. Some, just look better, Miss Su is from Jiangnan, so I didn't let you see a joke."

She just smiled and didn't say a word, and ate her lunch quietly and calmly, and occasionally talked with Mr. Ma about some trivial business matters.

After taking a sip of soup, she frowned slightly, turned her head, and looked at the flower garden outside the window.

"What's the matter, Miss Su, are you not used to eating?" Mr. Ma's eyes suddenly became dark, and he followed Su Min's gaze to look out of the side hall, and asked actively.

"No." She frowned slightly, feeling a strange feeling in her heart, that slight change and uneasiness grew from her heart, she clenched the chopsticks in her hand again, and smiled back.

It felt like someone was watching her from behind.

His eyes lingered on her body, and the man looked at her for a long time.

It's weird.

She smiled perfunctorily, not letting the doubts just now entangle herself, and no longer being suspicious. "This soup is really delicious, next time I will ask the cook to make it for a taste."

"Miss Su, eat more." He smiled, but when Su Min lowered his head to taste the fresh soup, his eyes moved to the manager standing beside him, as if signaling him something with his eyes.

After lunch, Su Min bid farewell to Master Ma, returned to Su's branch shop, dealt with some matters in the shop, and returned to the palace at dusk.

As soon as she stepped into her own room, she lit the candle and unwrapped the bundle at hand.On the way back, she passed a cloth shop in the capital city, where she went to choose a piece of royal blue silk with silver threads embedded in it, which looked more low-key and gorgeous.

She had already figured it out, there was still about half a month before Nangong Zheng's birthday, although she was not good at needlework, but she wanted to use her embroidery skills, she should be able to finish his clothes with this time.

She has never made any robes for him, and she knows his current status, so there is no need for her to use her brains, but she still wants to do it.

I want to make a dress for him.

What kind of mood came from, she didn't want to go into it.

Picking up her needlework, she walked aside, found out a piece of his clothes, measured the size, and started to work.

I don't know how long it took before she often let out a sigh of relief and stretched out her hands to cover her sore eyes.

After all, it's not a day's work, and she doesn't want to rush it, just work slowly and carefully in her heart.

She only stopped for a while, but what she was thinking in her mind was whether he had eaten his dinner on time at this time, thinking like this, she got up and walked towards his bedroom.

Although there was light there, there was no figure of Ling Feng at the door, so he should still be in the study.

He is still there.

She approached him step by step, seeing his frowning look, she thought she had encountered difficulties again.

It is not difficult to be an emperor, but it is difficult to be a ruler.

"Why don't you eat dinner when it's delivered, it's cold."

She scanned the untouched food on the table, her eyes sank.He looks sloppy, but he is meticulous in doing things, and even forgets to eat and sleep. If this continues, his iron body will be useless.

"No, I'm tired too."

He smiled faintly, and when he heard her voice, he suddenly closed the memorial in his hand and walked to her side.

"I'll ask them to warm up these meals." Su Min smiled slightly, her request was gentle and considerate.

"No need, I have no appetite." He shook his head, embraced her calmly, and walked out of the study.

"Send someone to cook a bowl of scallop porridge for you to warm your stomach. Eat some if you don't want to." Without waiting for his response, she turned sideways and ordered to the maid waiting at the door.

He stopped his gaze on the distant sky, where the bright moon and stars were scenes he hadn't seen for a long time.If accompanied by Su Min, walking on this section of the road, chatting and laughing with each other, although it is very plain, it will give him a very warm feeling.

"I haven't been with anyone for a long time, let's watch the night scene together."

Su Min turned her face sideways, looked up at the soft expression on his face, and smiled knowingly. "Another trouble?"

His black eyes sank, and a touch of extremely complicated color disappeared in an instant. "It's not a big deal, I'll take care of it right away."

He sat on the corridor with her, and the topic changed. "I didn't ask you carefully last time, why did you go to the brothel dressed as a man? What did Tong tell you?"

"He was just joking, he didn't do anything, he just went to the brothel to drink." Her smile was a little awkward, if it wasn't for Tong's intentional teasing, she would not have disguised herself as a man and went to the brothel.

"Really?" His gaze focused on her smiling face, read the hidden meaning in it, and said it to the point. "My own brother, can I not understand? You don't have to intercede for him."

She smiled and sighed. "He was afraid that I would fall out of favor in the future, so he asked me to learn how to..."

"He really played too much!" He scolded, his face stained with displeasure, he could see that Su Min was very patient with Tong and forbearance everywhere, if Tong still didn't want to repent in a short time, then when At that time, he will definitely come forward and explain the truth to Tong.

She pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth and blurted it out. "It's okay, it's not the first time I went back to the brothel."

Nangong Zheng's expression changed instantly, he narrowed his black eyes slightly, and looked at her expression.

Su Min suddenly realized something, and hastily explained clearly: "When dealing with different business partners, I have been there three or four times before. I don't think it's strange that men like to deal with such occasions."

Although the atmosphere between the two was somewhat dull because of the topic just now, Nan Gongzheng took the initiative to break the silence and asked with concern, "Is there any trouble there?"

"Even if I'm in trouble, Tong will help me out. His heart is not bad." She lowered her eyes and smiled, ignoring the emotion in Nangong Zheng's eyes.

His brows were stained with a color of helplessness, and his tone revealed dissatisfaction. "It's fine if he doesn't cause trouble for me, take you to the brothel, what does it look like!"

"However, Nangong Zheng, I'm curious that when men in the capital are seventeen or eighteen years old, they usually go to the Firework Alley to find girls. Is Tong also at this age?" Su Min thought of something, and gently pulled Nangong Zheng sleeve, and asked softly.

What he said was simple, with one sentence passing, and an understatement. "If he likes a girl's family, the daughter of the minister of the Manchu Dynasty can give him a choice."

She shook her head, slightly frowned, not quite agreeing with his words. "It seems that you still don't know what he is thinking, but Tong seems to be living a chic and free life. We don't know if he has reached the stage of first love."

Because of Su Min's words, Nan Gongzheng fell into silence. He clenched his fists secretly, but Su Min didn't notice.

But she was more tolerant than him, and said with a smile: "As a brother, don't scold him, don't these things between you men seem more common?"

He raised his handsome eyebrows and looked straight into those clear eyes with a dissatisfied tone. "What do you mean by looking at me like that?"

Su Min laughed deeply. "He has been in and out of brothels since he was 15 years old. He should have learned from you. Anyway, isn't he used to taking you as a role model in everything? He eats, dresses, loses his temper, and speaks viciously. In a couple of days Years ago, I think he is very similar to you before."

She got up slowly, followed him, and gradually walked towards his bedroom.

He stopped suddenly, and when she faced him, she spoke more and more directly, frowning slightly, he suppressed his handsome face, examined that small face, and said in a calm manner. "You seem to be hiding something in your words. Like those rich young men, I often go in and out of brothels. That's what I mean, so I even led my own brother to death."

"Who makes you look experienced and has seen countless people?" She nodded lightly, and pushed open the door, as if she was not afraid of the compelling light shining in his black eyes, her tone seemed to be resentment, more like resentment , and banter.

He looked at her with a smile on his face, but he didn't say a word to defend himself. When those smiling eyes narrowed on Su Min, making her instinctively want to escape, it was already too late.

With a "bang", Nangong Zheng slammed the door shut, and then with one hand, he carried her on his shoulder with a face full of astonishment.He strode forward and walked straight to the table before putting her down who was soft and boneless.

With an arm around her waist, he brought her to his chest, speaking softly but sounding dangerous.
