"Xiang'er, don't be angry, I'll accompany Xiang'er to dinner, okay?"

Shi Xiang nodded violently after hearing this, she naturally knew what Meng Chenjing was going to be busy with, even if she was really just Shi Xiang, looking at the people who came back with them, they should know that something was wrong, not to mention Shi Xiang or Shui Rongfu. When she thought that Meng Chenjing would not come back after she went today, she didn't know what it was like.

It should have been happy, she should have been very happy to see Meng Chenjing lose the most precious thing by herself, but she didn't know why, she was a little unbearable in her heart.

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve today, Junze can't stay at home with me." Shi Xiang looked at Meng Chenjing with a look of hope on her face, as if she was expecting him to say something like "I will accompany you at home" next sentence.

Meng Chenjing looked at Shi Xiang's expectant look and couldn't help but agree, but fortunately, reason still prevailed over impulse.

"There is a banquet in the palace tonight, I naturally want to go, if Xiang'er can't wait for me to come back, go back to Zhengyu Tower first, and I'll pick up Xiang'er home in a few days." Meng Chenjing also thought about it, no one knew what Shi Xiang in Zhengyulou looked like, and Shi Xiang didn't tell anyone when she left before, and no one knew where she went, so it was the safest. Even if he fails, Zheng Yulou can still keep Shi Xiang.

Meng Chenjing asked himself if he was not a good person, but for Shi Xiang, he really wanted to give her the best. He sometimes even thinks that if he hadn't been born in the royal family, they would probably be very happy when they met a woman like Shi Xiang again.

Meng Chenjing has never reflected on anything, but he can't help but think like this these days. For as long as he can remember, he has listened to the queen teach him how to be ruthless. How to cover up his feelings, how to achieve his goals by unscrupulous means, he has never felt wrong when he was instilled with such thoughts since he was a child. He is the crown prince, and the whole world will be his, so what else is not. He also used those harem methods handy, just because he was educated like this since he was a child.

The older he grows, the more he understands, there are things that are not right but he has to do them, his character has been formed, he has pushed himself to this point. There's no going back. So when he met the innocent Shui Rongfu, he was envious, and he really wanted to protect her like this so that she would always be like this. But the case in Fuzhou caught him off guard. And it turns out that this matter is indeed greasy, but the people of the Shui family are dead. This case couldn't be delayed, so the Shui family was made a substitute for the dead. That's what suits his temperament. But why would he be happy after finding out that Shui Rongfu was gone?

Later, I met Shi Xiang, she was very much like Shui Rongfu, but it was different. The feeling she gave Meng Chenjing was the same as that of Shui Rongfu. Meng Chenjing sometimes thinks about Shi Xiang in a daze. Unconsciously will associate her with Shui Rongfu.

Meng Chenjing carefully stroked Shi Xiang's hair, looked at her and said gently: "You have to take care of yourself in the future, it's cold in winter, wear more clothes when you go out, and you have to hold the stove at any time, you know?" "He's already lost Shui Rongfu once, this time......

Meng Chenjing laughed self-deprecatingly, kissed the corner of Shi Xiang's mouth, and said slowly, "I'm leaving." ”

Shi Xiang looked at Meng Chenjing's departing back and unconsciously shed tears until Meng Chenjing disappeared. It took a while to loosen the placket that was tightly clutched.

Meng Chenhuan had already arranged it and entered the palace early. The last Chinese New Year's Eve banquet had a big accident, although this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is still colorful, but in the end it is still not as lively as in the early years, and the ministers who entered the palace are also a little trembling, and in previous years, they will bring their families and relatives this time There are very few, and this person is a little less than in earlier years.

Meng Shaoguang also changed his clothes and entered the palace, I don't know if it was to watch the excitement or what, he came an hour earlier than usual. Entered the main hall and found a place to sit down, holding the stove in his hand and following Huali beside him, drinking tea from time to time and squinting into the distance.

This Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was held in the Rongfu Hall, and there were two side halls in the hall on the left and right, on the left were men such as ministers, and on the right were female dependents who had to be brought. Although Meng Shaoguang was a special person, he was also a woman, so he sat in the right hall.

Yang Zhen also came, but he didn't bring it.

"Congratulations." Yang Zhen and Meng Jin'an came over together, and before they could open their mouths, they were told by Meng Shaoguang first.

Yang Zhen suddenly blushed a little and stammered a thank you. He was indeed a little depressed, and he only found out that he was pregnant a few days ago, and he didn't know it if Meng Shaoguang knew it, and he must have sent someone to sue her.

However, Yang Zhen was not angry, he knew and was measured, and he understood what to say and what not to say. And Meng Shaoguang also understands people, so he naturally knows how to measure. Meng Shaoguang is a very good person, but just look at what she did for Youhuai.

Meng Jinan wanted to tease Yang Zhen a few words, but Meng Shaoguang looked at Meng Jinan and asked ill-intentionedly: "Is Miss Yang San okay?" ”

"It's good~" Meng Jinan replied without thinking about it, with a very natural expression on his face. He only met Miss Yang San yesterday, and he couldn't have been better.

Meng Jin'an saw Meng Shaoguang's strange smile, and immediately understood. His face was unnatural. Where is the elder brother, Meng Shaoguang didn't ask Yang Zhen to ask Meng Jinan, the implication is naturally self-evident, and more importantly, Meng Jinan actually answered, and he answered so naturally.

Yang Zhen saw that Meng Jin'an was also immediately balanced.

Huali raised her eyes and looked at the two people who were very helpless in front of Meng Shaoguang with disdain, and raised her hand to hand over the tea.

"Are grandparents here?" Prince Cheng didn't come last year, but this year there is obviously going to be an accident, and Meng Shaoguang still has to ask.

Meng Jinan shook his head, "Grandparents didn't come to the palace banquet for a long time, and I don't want to come, but I always give face." "Meng Jinan didn't like this banquet originally, even if he couldn't eat enough, he couldn't drink enough, and last year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet happened like that, Meng Jinan was even more repulsed, but it was a palace banquet, and he couldn't give the emperor too face. I can only bite the bullet.

Meng Shaoguang nodded after hearing this, and looked at Yang Zhen again: "Yang Dudu should be very busy at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, right?" "Although at this time, the military department in the capital will strengthen the defense, but the officials above the fifth rank are in the palace, and mistakes are also the easiest to make, Yang Dudu is a military general, and it is normal not to come to a place like a banquet.

"The imperial court is in the palace, my father is afraid that something will happen, and he doesn't like this kind of banquet, so he stays in the palace just in case." Yang Zhen actually knew that this was his father's excuse, but the emperor was quite useful, and he couldn't say anything. (To be continued.) )
