Chapter 011: Falling in Love
At night, the Three Princes' Mansion.
Recently, Shang Qirui's temper is not very good, and since the last time he killed the servant girl Lilac, he sold two more servants in just a few days. The subordinates in the mansion are now very cautious on errands, and in the huge mansion, you can see people coming and going, but you can hardly hear a sound, and there is always a little uneasiness in the quiet.
Even the Wenxiang Pavilion of the side concubine Wen Meier was quiet, and Shang Qirui and Wen Meier were eating. Neither of them spoke, and Shang Qirui motioned to the maid beside him from time to time to put the dishes he thought were delicious on the plate in front of Wen Meier. Wen Meier also looked at Shang Qirui gently and smiled sweetly every time, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a trace of trepidation hidden in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Mei'er." Shang Qirui put down his chopsticks and finally spoke.
Wen Mei'er's body shook, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly: "Why did Your Highness say this?" What happened? ”
"Last time, I asked my father to repair the phosphorus river, and my father agreed. However, these days, in order to check the candidates for the river defense, the court has been arguing, and my father finally decided to let me check the situation of the phosphorus river. Shang Qirui looked at Wen Meier and said.
"Hasn't Your Highness always been relieved about the situation of the Phosphorus River? Now the Holy One has asked you to see for yourself, which is a good thing. Although Wen Meier was still puzzled, her expression had relaxed, and she even felt a little relieved.
"I just feel sorry for you, I just got married and I took the troops to Jincheng, and finally came back, I didn't stay for a few days, and now I have to check the Phosphorus River again. This time, the time is not short. Originally, I said that I would accompany you well, but now I always break my promise. Shang Qirui said apologetically.
"Your Highness is the Your Highness of the entire Dajin, how can you delay His Highness's major affairs for the sake of a concubine? The concubine did not feel wronged, but was very happy that His Royal Highness could do what he wanted to do. Wen Mei'er finally smiled from the bottom of her heart, "Your Highness can go with confidence, the concubine will wait for His Highness to come back at home." ”
Shang Qirui didn't say more, only held Wen Meier's hand tightly, some pictures flashed in his mind, and he said after a while: "Thank you, Mei'er." ”
There seemed to be a bit of nasal in her voice, Wen Mei'er was startled, and when she raised her head, Shang Qirui had already let go of her hand, stood up and walked outside: "I will leave the capital soon, and there are still many things to prepare, so I won't accompany you here, you can rest early." ”
Wen Mei'er saluted at Shang Qirui's back: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”
Looking back and seeing that there were only her own people left in the room, Wen Meier couldn't help patting her chest and smiling relaxedly.
"Miss, Your Highness really has nothing to say to you. Your Highness will be sad if you do this. Zhou's mother is Wen Meier's nurse, and the maid brought from her mother's house still calls Wen Meier "Miss" in private.
"But I'm really scared." Wen Meier lost the dignified gentleness when facing Shang Qirui, and naughtily stuck out her tongue at Zhou's mother, "It's really stressful to face to face with His Highness." ”
Mother Zhou motioned to another girl in the house to guard the door, and then said to Wen Mei'er: "Miss, the slave really doesn't understand, why do you want to treat Your Highness like this?" Needless to say, the appearance of the Third Highness is naturally needless to say, there is no choice for it, and it is both civil and military. Most importantly, he's good to you. Look at this huge prince's mansion, except for His Royal Highness, you are the only master. Those handmaids, Your Highness doesn't even take a second look. Let's not talk about the royal family, it is an ordinary rich family, at least there must be a few rooms, right? Besides, now our Wen family ...... Miss, not to mention marrying into the royal family, is a slightly prestigious family, then it will also think that we are climbing. Miss, Your Royal Highness is so good, the slave really doesn't understand, what do you think? ”
I could understand Zhou's mother's bitter words, but Wen Meier still pouted and said: "It turns out that in Zhou's mother's heart, I am so bad." ”
Mother Zhou was a little anxious, and a little distressed: "Miss is in the heart of the slave, so naturally no one can compare." But miss, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the Wen family, right? Could it be that Miss hopes that the Wen family will disappear? Now His Royal Highness has not married the princess, so you are naturally the only one, Miss. But His Royal Highness always wants to marry the princess, right? After having the princess, if the young lady still loses the favor of His Royal Highness, how can she live her life? Empress Wen of that year...... But there are lessons from the past, although the shape is still unclear now, whether it is the prince or ...... Miss, you have to prepare in advance. ”
Hearing Mother Zhou's mention of the Wen family and Queen Wen, Wen Meier finally put away those carelessness. Yes, she is not an ordinary woman, how can she live the life of an ordinary woman?
After a long time, Wen Meier seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Mother Zhou, I will listen to you." When His Highness comes back from inspecting the Phosphorus River, I will definitely live with His Highness with my heart, okay? ”
"It's good that Miss has figured it out." Mother Zhou's eyes flashed with tears, and she couldn't help but add again, "Miss Wronged." ”
"Not aggrieved. Mother Zhou, you are right, Your Highness is really very good, but I don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings. Wen Mei'er raised a smile, "I will try my best to fall in love with His Highness." ”
Mother Zhou also smiled: "Then Miss should rest early." ”
"No, is there still sweet soup in the kitchen? I'll go see Your Highness. Wen Mei'er said suddenly, seeing Zhou's mother's puzzled eyes, she explained, "Your Highness often says that if you think of something, you must do it immediately, don't wait until later." Because, perhaps, there will no longer be a chance in the future. ”
After asking clearly about Shang Qirui's in the study, Wen Meier walked straight to the study with sweet soup.
The guards guarding the door saw Wen Mei'er and were a little strange, but they still saluted politely, and then went in to report.
"Mei'er, why are you here? Didn't it give you an early rest? Cold or not? Shang Qirui personally greeted him and asked with concern when he saw Wen Meier.
The man in front of him is a high-ranking prince, but he is so considerate and thoughtful, Wen Meier suddenly felt a little moved. Zhou's mother is right, she has always been in the blessing and does not know the blessing.
Raising her little face, Wen Mei'er smiled brightly: "Your Highness is laughing?" How can it be cold on such a hot day? The concubine just thought that His Highness had to prepare a lot of things, and she was afraid that she would have to stay up late, so she sent some sweet soup to moisten His Highness's mouth. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Shang Qirui also smiled, took the soup in Wen Meier's hand, and drank it in one go.
Wen Meier looked funny, so she turned her head to look at Shang Qirui's study. This was the first time she had come to his study, and when she saw a half-scroll painting on the table, she couldn't help but be a little curious: "Is Your Highness looking at the painting?" Whose painting is this? ”
Shang Qirui was stunned for a moment, then rushed in front of Wen Mei'er and put the painting away: "It's nothing, just draw it." Come back and wait for me to come back and draw one for you. ”
Obviously, Shang Qirui didn't want to see the painting himself. Wen Meier was not so stupid that she was still clamoring to see it, but she glanced at it just now and seemed to see a wheelchair. What does His Highness do when he draws a wheelchair?
Although she was puzzled, Wen Meier didn't ask, and said with a smile: "Your Highness can still paint?" It's remarkable. ”
"What's so great about this, these are what every prince has to learn." Shang Qi Rui said.
"Your Highness, you are busy, the concubine will not bother, you should rest early, your body is important." After Wen Meier finished speaking, she bowed and retired.
Shang Qirui looked at Wen Meier's back, his expression was a little complicated.
