The man was wearing a dark cloak, and his hat obscured most of his face, and he couldn't see the specific features and identity, but his thin voice couldn't hide it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Meng Xia turned around and looked over, and there was no surprise.

"Of course, I know that."

She said without emotion, and the warmth in her eyes had long since disappeared when she saw Meng Lang before: "So, I won't be absent from the birthday banquet the day after tomorrow." ”

"How is the young master going to make a splash?"

Although the man called Meng Xia the young master in his mouth, he didn't have much real respect, and he didn't seem to be very optimistic about a little girl who was only thirteen years old.

Meng Xia heard the clue, but he didn't have any displeasure.

She said lightly: "In the letters left by my mother, it has been clearly explained that the Ji Kingdom has long since perished, so the several secret guards of the Ji clan can choose to go and stay independently. This is also the reason why she has never taken the initiative to find you for more than ten years. ”

After a pause, Meng Xia's eyes were firm and calm: "I'm already very happy that you are willing to come to see me today." As for this young master, it's better to wait for you to volunteer to become my Mengxia's secret guard, and then it's not too late! ”

These words made the cloak man a little surprised, and after a while, he said with a smile: "The ninth princess is quite assertive and courageous at a young age, so it is better for the slave to be respectful than to obey his fate!" ”

"You don't have to come to me again until you make a final decision. And, regardless of the outcome, I respect your choice just as much! ”

After saying the last sentence, Meng Xia didn't stay long, and walked straight away, leaving only the cloak man alone in the forest.

In a blink of an eye, it was the birthday of Emperor Meng Zhao.

The birthday banquet alone in the evening is just a family banquet and is arranged in the Yiqing Palace.

The third prince, Meng Lang, came over to pick up Meng Xia early, and looked at the royal sister who had finally recovered her vitality, and he was extremely happy in his heart.

By the time the two of them arrived, the Yiqing Hall was already bustling.

"Third Emperor Brother, why did you bring her?"

The crisp but domineering female voice sounded quickly, not long after Meng Xia had just stepped into the main hall.

That tone, with disgust, disdain, and even more dissatisfaction and displeasure, it's just that all these emotions point to of course not the three princes, but Meng Xia who follows the three princes.

Everyone doesn't need to follow the voice, who else can talk like this, except for the fifth princess Meng Jin?

On the contrary, at this moment, everyone in the hall subconsciously looked at the girl beside the third prince.

They all wanted to know who the person who was ridiculed by Meng Jin in public was. After all, the vast majority of people in this group didn't know Meng Xia at all.

Although they are both princesses, not everyone can be favored by the emperor and queen at the same time as the fifth princess Meng Jin, and there is also a biological mother Liu Guifei with a very high background, who has really enjoyed thousands of pride since she was born.

"Did the Fifth Emperor Sister drink, and the father's birthday banquet hasn't officially started yet, why did you start talking drunk?"

As soon as Meng Lang came in, he felt Meng Jin's extremely unkind gaze, so he stood there and retorted: "You are a princess, and the Nine Emperor Sisters are also the princess of your father, why can't she come if you come?" ”

As soon as these words came out, those who didn't know Meng Xia at all suddenly realized, but they quickly guessed some clues.

A month ago, although Ji's death did not cause any turmoil in the palace, many people still heard some gossip about that day in private.

Ji's death is related to Liu Guifei's mother and daughter, and the ninth princess is from Ji's!

was choked back by Meng Lang in public, and the fifth princess suddenly couldn't hold her face.

But she also knew that her father's favor and importance for these three emperor brothers were even higher than her, and for a while, it was not good to face Meng Lang in public too much.

"What are the three emperor brothers angry about, aren't I worried about the nine emperor sisters? Among so many princesses in the palace, who doesn't know that the needlework of the Nine Emperor Sisters can't even look at Mama Xi. You say, when she presents a birthday gift and a sachet, if she provokes her father and emperor to be angry, it is not she who is unlucky? ”

The fifth princess smiled and quickly changed the conversation, and said with a fake face: "I'm doing this for her good, she has to thank me, right?" ”

Since the founding of the country, there has been an unwritten rule that on the emperor's birthday, the prince will present his own handwritten calligraphy and painting as a birthday gift, and the princess will offer her own hand-made sachets.

Hearing the words of the fifth princess, many people laughed along, and looked at Meng Xia with contempt one by one.

The people in the palace have always liked to face the high and step on the low, and a princess who is almost not remembered by the emperor is always so unsociable and uncompetitive, how can she not be rejected by them.

Meng Lang's face darkened, he didn't expect Meng Jin to be so excessive, and deliberately bullied Ah Xia in front of everyone.

He was about to get angry, but was gently pulled by Meng Xia on the side.

"Fifth Emperor Sister doesn't say it, Ah Xia really doesn't know that she is so famous in the palace!" Meng Xia, who had not squeaked all the time, said to Meng Jin quite calmly: "The Fifth Emperor Sister is worried, but the Fifth Emperor Sister is really thinking too much. ”

"Presumptuous, what are you to dare to talk to this princess like this?" Meng Jin was immediately annoyed by Meng Xia's words.

This dead girl clearly scolded her for being nosy, and thought she couldn't hear it?

Meng Xia's eyelids didn't jump, and he even smiled lightly, and said with a little puzzlement: "The Fifth Emperor Sister is confused, I am your Ninth Emperor Sister, there is nothing wrong with talking to you like this." ”

"...... you" Meng Jin was suddenly blocked by Meng Xia and couldn't speak, his originally handsome face turned into a pig's liver color, and he glared at Meng Jin viciously.

Since she was a child, she has never been hit like this!

"The fifth emperor sister should pay attention to the princess's demeanor, it will be really bad for her father to see it later."

Meng Lang snorted coldly, warning the arrogant Meng Jin at the moment.

"The Third Emperor Brother is really eccentric!"

Meng Jin was not convinced, but he was afraid of his father, who was about to arrive, but he had to restrain a little for the time being.

However, she still warned Meng Xia on the side without any scruples: "Meng Xia, don't think that everything will be fine with the Three Emperor Brothers protecting you. If you let me know that the sachet you presented to your father was not made by yourself, I will let my father punish you for the crime of bullying the king!" ”

"You still say ......" Meng Lang frowned and raised his voice.

"Third brother, don't be angry." Meng Xia grabbed Meng Lang, who wanted to stand up for her again, and immediately persuaded: "It's not worth it." ”

Seeing this, Meng Lang didn't bother to deal with Meng Jin anymore, and pulled Meng Xia to sit down first.

He deliberately asked the palace people to arrange their seats with Meng Xia, although they were much farther away from the emperor than usual, but it didn't matter.

Although it was just a family banquet, such a seating arrangement was obviously not in accordance with the rules, and for a while, Meng Xia attracted a lot of complicated eyes.

"This Meng Jin is really getting more and more excessive!"

Meng Lang didn't care about anyone's gaze, and immediately said to Meng Xia beside him after sitting down: "You don't have to be afraid of her, the third brother is in charge of everything." Don't worry, I won't let anyone take the sachet to embarrass you in front of your father! ”

"Third brother, I didn't let others make sachets for me." Meng Xia said good-naturedly, saying that there was no need to worry.

Meng Lang was taken aback, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What, could it be that the sachet you prepared was really made by yourself?" ”

To be honest, Meng Lang has seen a lot of Meng Xia's skills, but he never seems to have anything to do with female celebrities.

"Of course, doesn't the third brother look down on my needlework girl?" Meng Xia spread his hands, a little helpless.

"Of course not, Axia, don't think about it, the third brother must think that the sachet you made is the most beautiful, but, but it's ......"

He stubbornly whispered: "But if you want to make the best impression on your father, you must ......"

"Third brother, bullying the king is a big crime, I don't want to be in trouble because of such a trivial matter, and even affect the third brother." Meng Xia said as he handed the teacup to Meng Lang: "Don't worry, third brother, I have my own plans." ”

"But......" Meng Lang knew that Meng Xia should be prepared, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

At this moment, a loud announcement sounded outside, and the emperor arrived!
