Chapter 253: An Awkward Night

Not long after Jiang Mei left the mansion, Xiao Moheng came to Jiang Mansion with Qin Xin, and now, Xiao Moheng, who was empty, sat patiently in the main hall of Jiang Mansion and waited for Jiang Mei.

Ru Hui had already poured him the seventh cup of tea, but the lord still had no intention of leaving.

Ru Hui knew that Jiang Mei and Mu Xiaohe had gone out, but when Xiao Moheng asked about this, she didn't dare to say it, she just said that the eldest lady of their family went shopping with the house, and now more than an hour has passed, presumably the young lady is coming back soon, Mu Shizi will definitely send her back, if the lord in the hall sees it, it is not a good thing, so Ru Hui has to find a way to persuade him to go.

After Ru Hui poured Xiao Moheng a glass of hot wine, she cautiously reminded: "Your Highness, the night is late, and your body is important." "Speaking of which, I think this master understands.

But Xiao Moheng drank the wine with a pale face, and asked an irrelevant question as if he hadn't heard it, "What kind of dishes does your young lady like to eat on weekdays?" ”

Ru Hui's smile froze, and she could only smile bitterly in her heart, but she had to reply to him a few words, but Xiao Moheng nodded her head very seriously, looking like that, she seemed to remember it in her heart.

Ru Hui couldn't stop wiping the fine sweat on her forehead, and looked out of the hall slightly, but she didn't know what to do.

Then Xiao Moheng asked Jiang Mei about her living habits or something, and Ru Hui answered them one by one.

Just as the two were chatting a little, they heard the sound of laughter at the door.

Xiao Moheng immediately stood up, took a step and walked outside, he had been waiting for a long time. What's more, he is busy these days, and he has no time to come to see her, and even tonight, he has to wait for the banquet in the palace to be dispersed before he has to be free, to be precise, he abandoned a few delicate beauties in the East Palace, and just wants to see the people he misses on this Lantern Festival night.

It's just that when he walked out quickly, when he reached the open hall at the door, he saw Mu Xiaohe walking in slowly with Jiang Mei under the porch. And Jiang Mei's face was still filled with a smile he had never seen before. Shy, happy, happy......

Suddenly, his heart was like pouring a basin of cold water, from head to toe, and his face was a little stiff. He just watched the two of them walk towards him, step by step.

Jiang Mei and Mu Xiaohe talked and laughed all the way. Where did I notice that there was still a person standing in the open hall. And Rong He knew it a long time ago, he looked at it here, and he looked at it there. In the end, I had to pretend and coughed.

"Ahem....ahem..."

This cough made Jiang Mei unexpectedly raise her eyebrows and look forward, but this look made her frown.

How is he here!

Mu Xiaohe also discovered Xiao Moheng's existence at the same time, but his face was not much better than Xiao Moheng, because he knew that the man on the corridor was here to rob his sister Yueyao from him.

On the night Hua Ying died, Xiao Moheng already knew Jiang Mei's true identity, so when he saw Mu Xiaohe, he was not so surprised, but his expression was quite unkind.

Mu and Jiang stopped at this time, and the three of them froze there for a while, but, compared to the two of them, Jiang Mei was much more natural, she didn't think that she had anything wrong with Mu Xiaohe going out, to be exact, it had nothing to do with Xiao Moheng.

Therefore, after Jiang Mei only lost her mind for a short time, she returned to her old look, and she bowed to Xiao Moheng: "I don't know if Your Highness visited late at night, Jiang Mei is ashamed!" ”

Anyone who looks at it can see the dissatisfaction and even some jealousy in Xiao Moheng's eyes, Mu Xiao is a gentle lord on weekdays, but once it involves his sister Yueyao, he will not give in, so he also expressed his dissatisfaction with Xiao Moheng's appearance in the Jiang Mansion late at night.

He arched his hand slightly, and said coldly: "Your Highness is in a hurry, do you want to come to Yue'er so late?" ”

The word "Yue'er" was extremely intimate, which made the temperature in Xiao Moheng's eyes a little colder.

He snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and slowly walked down from the porch, and said unhurriedly: "Oh, I don't know what the urgency is for Mu Shizi to abandon his wife who just gave birth to Lin'er for you?" The tone was as leisurely as cold water.

Mu Xiaohe's face turned a little pale, and a breath of anger surged into his heart, making him feel uncomfortable.

Xiao Moheng's words really hurt people without thorns. It's just that these words not only hurt Mu Xiaohe, but also hurt Jiang Mei.

The smile in Jiang Mei's eyes faded a little in an instant, and her hands couldn't stop shaking, Hua Ying's bones were not cold, Lan Ying was newly born, but she was affectionate with their husbands....When she thought of this, her face couldn't help but turn a little whiter.

Mu Xiaohe's hand holding Jiang Mei tightened a little tighter, he breathed a sigh, straightened his expression, and said, "Your Highness is not far behind!" ”

How could he Xiao Moheng's East Palace not be a concubine on his side!

Just as Xiao Moheng gritted his teeth and wanted to return to him, he saw Wuling running in from outside the door, Wuling first saluted Xiao Moheng, and then anxiously said to Mu Xiaohe: "Shizi, Madame is not well......

After hearing this, Jiang Mei withdrew her hand from Mu Xiaohe's palm, endured the pain in her chest, and whispered: "Xiao and brother, you go back first, after all, she is still weak." After speaking, he instructed Rong He: "Rong He, you find someone to take a look at the deceased son's mansion!" ”

Rong He answered, and went to arrange.

Mu Xiaohe was originally sending her back, and it was time to go back to the house, but now that Xiao Moheng was in her house, how unwilling he was, but Jiang Mei said so, and he couldn't say anything, so he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes and helped her tighten the shawl on her body, "Then I'll go back first, you rest early!" ”

Jiang Mei smiled and motioned him not to worry,

Mu Xiaohe sighed, and before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Moheng, and left with Wuling without saying anything.

Jiang Mei didn't come back to her senses until she watched his back disappear into the doorway, but as soon as she raised her head, a cold gaze shot over.

Xiao Moheng flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked inside.

Jiang Mei frowned and rolled her eyes, what? Isn't he ready to go?

She shook her head, smiled helplessly at Rong You, and had to follow.

Xiao Moheng walked all the way into the main hall, but went straight into the warm pavilion inside. This made Jiang Mei, who was stepping in, a little speechless,

He really thinks this is his home!

Ru Hui glanced at Jiang Mei's crying and laughing expression, walked over, helped her take off her coat, and smiled lightly at her,

Jiang Mei glanced at her, "You're still in the mood to tease me!" ”

Jiang Mei was not ambiguous, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly took Ru Hui with a pot of wine and a few plates of snacks and walked in.

And this time. Xiao Moheng had already walked beside the charcoal fire by himself. It seems that this is his prince's East Palace.

Jiang Mei smiled bitterly, so she had to walk over and kneel beside him.

Xiao Moheng took the shovel and stirred up the charcoal fire, and said casually: "You go out!" ”

To whom this sentence is spoken. Go without saying.

Jiang Mei glanced at Ru Hui. A look of pleading for help. Ru Hui pursed her lips and didn't dare to laugh. Just put things on the desk and quietly retreated.

Jiang Mei secretly glanced at Xiao Moheng, who was expressionless, and obediently poured a glass of wine. handed it to him, bowed his head and apologized: "Let Your Highness wait for a long time, Jiang Mei is ashamed!" ”

Xiao Moheng took the wine, stared at her, and said coldly: "Where did you go with Mu Xiaohe, what did you do?" ”

Jiang Mei lowered her head and rolled her eyes, what does it matter to you!

"Hehe, but I went to the lower market with Shizi." Jiang Mei looked up at him and said with a wry smile, she couldn't stop muttering to him in her heart.

"Went to the market for so long? I've been waiting for you here for more than an hour! Xiao Moheng put down the wine cup and didn't have a good airway.

Isn't it normal for more than an hour? Jiang Mei sat on the kneeling cushion dejectedly, not wanting to answer him.

She just wanted to question him: "Da Lantern Festival, you don't accompany your palace concubines, what are you doing here!" ”

It's just that she slandered her belly, but she can't say it, so she can only say nothing, sincerely, men are sometimes very unreasonable.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mei suddenly felt that it was better for her Xiao and her brother, and a faint smile suddenly appeared on her face.

Xiao Moheng looked at her with angry eyes, but when he saw such a look, he immediately remembered the look she had just when she entered the door with Mu Xiaohe, he looked at her coldly, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he abandoned the concubine of the first palace to find her, she was good, she went out for a tryst with other men, he was dignified His Royal Highness the Prince, how aggrieved and aggrieved he was.

So, some words couldn't help but come out: "What, you are in a hurry to be Mu Xiaohe's concubine?" ”

Jiang Mei Huoran came back to his senses and looked at him, her face turned pale in an instant!

As soon as Xiao Moheng's words came out, even he regretted it! Looking at her pale little face, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and he had scolded himself dozens of times in his heart.

Knowing that he had gone too far, he couldn't save face, he put his hands on his knees and tapped them, his eyes glancing away.

Jiang Mei lowered her head, pursed her lips, poured herself a glass of wine, drank it all, and after a long time, she slowly spoke: "Thank you Your Highness for worrying, Jiang Mei's affairs are clear in her heart, and she knows what to do and what not to do!" ”

Xiao Moheng looked back at her and saw her kneeling beside her, her head bowed motionless, and her anger was not in the same place.

He put his hands around her shoulders, forced her to look at him, and said angrily: "Mei'er, are you really willing to follow him and not be famous?" It's been two years, my mind, you should understand ... Do you know how many people are secretly urging me to set up a crown princess, and when I ascend the throne, how many people will force me to make a queen, Mei'er, this world is the result of the joint efforts of you and me, I just want to... Let you be my crown princess and even the future queen! ”

Xiao Moheng's blazing eyes locked on her, and such affectionate words hit Jiang Mei's heart word by word.

It's fake to say that she is not moved, she has quietly shed tears, she has been born and died with him for two years, sharing honor and disgrace, his trust without scruples, his considerate care, to some extent, he is already his confidant, to say that he has no feelings for him in his heart, it is also false, at least he still likes to admire.

Let her enter the palace as a concubine, hehe... I never thought that it was an existence even more distant than Ningzhou Mufu.

Jiang Mei just looked at him in a daze and didn't speak.

Xiao Moheng pulled her into his arms, gritted his teeth, and muttered hoarsely: "I don't believe it, our two years of mutual affection are not as good as your sixteen years of estrangement, I don't believe it, Mei'er, give me a chance....okay, let me take care of you...."

Jiang Mei let him hug herself, and her tired eyes didn't want to open.

After a while, Xiao Moheng remembered something, so he pulled her out of his arms, and then took out a hairpin from his sleeve pocket.

He handed the hairpin to Jiang Mei and asked gently, "Is it good-looking?" Do you like it? ”

Jiang Mei looked at it a little bigger, and saw a delicate white hosta, on the hairpin was a transparent piece of mutton fat jade, the top of the hairpin was like a plum blossom, and the center of the flower was embedded with a lustrous sapphire.

The whole hairpin is quiet and amazing, noble and elegant! I have to say that the hairpin chosen by Xiao Moheng is really very in line with Jiang Mei's temperament.

Jiang Mei stretched out her hand to take the hairpin, looking left and right, even if she didn't like to fiddle with these hair accessories on weekdays, she felt that this hairpin was extremely good-looking.

Xiao Moheng looked at her with satisfaction and smiled, and said, "This is what I made with my own hands." ”

Jiang Mei was stunned, stared at him for a long time, and couldn't say a word.

How is it possible....how is it possible?

Xiao Moheng saw her look of surprise and even disbelief, and said in a low voice: "I found the palace hairpin and asked him to teach me, and I carved it every night before going to bed, if you don't believe it... Look at my hands. ”

Saying that she looked like a daughter-in-law was behaving and stretched out her hand to let Jiang Mei see,

Jiang Mei looked out and did see the calluses on the thumb and index finger of her right hand, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiao Moheng smiled indulgently and took the hairpin, "Come, I'll bring it to you!" As he spoke, he personally held her hair bun and inserted the hairpin.

looked down at Jiang Mei carefully, and smiled warmly: "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful!" ”

Jiang Mei's face flushed for a while, and the hairpin had already been brought by him, so she had to accept this gift. Then he bowed his head and bowed down,

"Your Highness!"

Xiao Moheng helped her up, smiling a little meaninglessly, tonight's visit made him firm in the plan in his heart, Xiao Moheng thought that after all, it was late at night, and it was indeed time to go.

"Mei'er, you rest quickly, I'm back to the palace!" So saying, he got up.

Jiang Mei immediately got up and bowed again, and sent him out of the house.

Two days later, Jiang Fu received an invitation to the palace banquet, and obviously, Xiao Moheng, who had been busy day and night for more than half a month, was finally able to relax and reward his heroes.

It's just that what makes Jiang Mei strange is that Rong He has been staring at the letter in a daze.

"Ronghe, what's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince's invitation? Jiang Mei took a sip of water and asked casually.

Rong He shook his head thoughtfully, and wondered: "No, it's just that His Highness's post specified that Jiuzhu and Ruoyun should accompany him!" This makes me a little weird! ”

Rong He always felt a faint sense of unease, as for why this happened, he himself didn't understand, every time the master went out to a banquet, he used to bring himself, but this time the prince didn't let him accompany him, he was quite unhappy.

"Haha...Your Highness didn't invite you, aren't you happy?" Jiang Mei smiled happily, immersed in the joy of letting Xiao Yunyan recognize her relatives, where would she figure out Xiao Moheng's intentions.

Rong He shrugged his shoulders and expressed his helplessness, he didn't want to join in the fun, he just didn't worry about Jiang Mei, and when he wasn't by her side, he instinctively couldn't let go. (To be continued.) )

PS: It's almost over, and suddenly I'm a little reluctant
