Chapter 15 (Correcting a Mistake)
The texture of the curtain next to the 'bed' was very good, and it was very soft to the touch, and it seemed that there was wind outside, and the curtain was blown up, Meng Yuan blinked in the dark, and suddenly found that it was not the wind that lifted the curtain, but a person.
She was about to scream and scream, but she held back, because she struggled to see who it wasβ
"How are you?" She grabbed the quilt and sat up, and said in a low voice, "It's so late, what are you doing here?" She noticed that it was still dark except for the faint light of the vigil, and continued, "You snuck in?" β
Zhao Chen sat on the side of the bed, stroked the long hair on the side of his ears without changing his face, and said calmly: "I came in through the window." β
"......" the corners of Meng Yuan's mouth twitched fiercely, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness, who abides by etiquette on weekdays, would go through the window to the 'female' boudoir at night, and all of them caught up with the 'flower' thief, and if others knew about your reputation, it would be ruined." β
"I didn't go to the boudoirs of the other 'women', I just came to you. It's just the two of us here, and if it gets out, it's what you said. β
He looked down at her, his eyes were like paint, his lips were teeth, and the corners of his mouth were hooked with a beautiful arc.
Meng Yuan pursed his lips, and only after a while did he pout, "I won't say it." β
"That's why I'm here."
He replied quickly, so fast that Meng Yuan realized that he had known that he would say this.
A little congested, Meng Yuan stopped talking, hugged the quilt tightly and leaned on the 'bed' to glare at him, Zhao Chen sat up straight, and smiled softly: "Don't you treat me as a disciple?" Sleep in peace, I will keep vigil for you. β
"You're going to keep a vigil for me? How can I deserve such good treatment...... And, don't you sleep? Meng Yuan's eyes widened.
"It's my fault that scared you tonight. I didn't expect an accident, it was my negligence. It's all a mistake I made, and it's up to me to make up for it. He leaned to the end of the bed, his long legs resting under the bed, and his snow-white robe allowed her to see his silhouette in the dark, "You woke up several times, and I listened to your unsteady breathing outside the window, so I came in." β
Meng Yuan was in an extremely complicated mood, watching him slow down.
Zhao Chen simply leaned over and whispered to her forehead: "Isn't it that you don't want to sleep and want to do what you did with me in the carriage before?" β
He said so, Meng Yuan will be invited if he doesn't sleep anymore!
She immediately closed her eyes, lay down on the 'bed' and covered her face with the quilt, exhaling nervously.
Looking at her like this, the curvature of the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth became more and more gentle, and his slender and white fingers gently pulled the quilt for her, she closed her eyes and didn't dare to open them, for fear that she would be even more wolf after looking at him. He looked at her like this for a moment, and the slightly cool 'lips' fell on her forehead, leaving a 'kiss' that was neither light nor heavy.
Meng Yuan's body stiffened, but soon relaxed again, and the corners of his mouth quietly rose.
Zhao Chen is an out-and-out gentleman, even if he has an identity that can do whatever he wants. Meng Yuan never woke up again that night, but when she woke up again in the morning, she couldn't find any trace of Zhao Chen's visit.
After thinking about it for a long time, I asked while combing my hair.
"Fufeng, was it okay outside last night?" She asked carefully with her words.
Fu Feng thought that she was worried about the assassination again, so he comforted: "Miss don't worry, Your Royal Highness has sent the best 'attendant' to guard the Xuemei Courtyard, it has been quiet last night, and there will be no more danger." β
It seems that Fufeng doesn't know that Zhao Chen has come.
Meng Yuan nodded, holding the hairpin in her hand and wondering, could it be that she slept 'confused' last night, and her dreams were also reality, and Zhao Chen had never been here at all? Thinking about it, how could it be, so real temperature, he must have been here.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and this shy and timid appearance made Fufeng also hook her 'lips', her young lady was really 'spring', and her maid began to bump into the deer.
Let the young 'girl' think about the third highness is busy now, he seems to be able to do three things, I am leaning on the chair in the study to read a book, my ears are listening to Xing Shen and a group of subordinates to report on the assassin, Yu Guang glanced at the middle-aged monk sitting on the couch meditating. After Xingshen finished reporting to them, he put down the book in his hand, rolled it up and opened it behind him.
"I don't know what Master Yunshui thinks?"
The monk opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Amitabha, Your Highness has already made a decision in your heart, so why should you ask the poor monk again?" β
Zhao Chen smiled, and Zhu 'lips' lightly instructed: "Ganlin's matter will be almost done tomorrow, prepare it, and return to Luzhou the day after tomorrow." β
Xing Shen and his subordinates were ordered to retreat, Zhao Chen got up from his chair and walked towards the 'door', he had occupied the study of Governor Li's mansion for several days, and he was finally going to return it to him, he must be very happy.
Monk Yunshui spoke again before Zhao Chen left: "Your Highness, although you are gifted, remember to leave a glimmer of leeway in your actions, my Buddha is merciful, and since I was born different, I have the responsibility to do more good deeds." β
Zhao Chen looked back and smiled, the sun shining on his face even gave people a very holy feeling.
"The master is really worried, Feng Yuan is now building embankments and controlling waters, isn't he doing good?" He asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Yun Shui to answer, he said to himself, "In short, I have my own measure, thank you for the master's suggestion." After finishing speaking, he didn't look back and left.
Yun Shui shook his head, twisted the Buddha beads and said: "The foreign things in the world are all obsessions......
The prefect's mansion, Zhao Chen's residence, the 'door' of the room is closed, and the 'door' is guarded, Lord Li asks to see him, Xing Shen only said: "Your Highness is resting, Lord Li will come again later." β
Governor Li nodded, left obediently, and met the "family" of the Third Highness when he left, so he earnestly 'exchanged' a conversation, expressed his admiration for Prime Minister Meng Cheng, and expressed his admiration for the Third Highness, and then left satisfied.
Meng Yuan and Fu Feng looked at his back, and they all had expressions of crying and laughing on their faces.
"Miss, Governor Li seems to be much easier to get along with than Governor Liu." Fufeng said.
"On the surface, this is the case, but although Governor Liu is strict, he is actually better to get along with than Governor Li." Meng Yuan whispered.
"Why?" Fufeng frowned puzzled.
"Because ......" Meng Yuan looked at Zhao Chen's Songzhu Courtyard, "There is a knife hidden in the smile." β
Fufeng suddenly, followed Meng Yuan to the outside of Songzhu Courtyard, and saw that the guards were tight, even if he was about to leave, Xingshen came out directly, hugged his fists and said: "Miss Meng, Your Highness just lay down, but what's the matter?" The subordinates went in to report. β
Meng Yuan hurriedly said: "No need, let His Highness have a good rest, I'm just passing by." β
"Really? Is it really okay? Xingshen asked unrelentingly, as if he hoped that something would happen to her.
"No, it's fine." Meng Yuan blinked, "Should I be okay?" β
"If you have something to say, your highness will be pleased." The star sink point is so far reminded.
Meng Yuan's expression was strange, and he pretended not to understand: "But His Highness is resting, if I disturb him because of some trivial matter, won't he be angry?" And I'm really fine. β
Xing Shen really wanted to say, "Miss Meng, please work hard to make something if you are fine", but when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it again, feeling that it did not match his heroic image.
"Then Miss Meng walks slowly." Xingshen said dryly and went back to the courtyard.
The 'squire' guard came back, and the other 'squire' guards couldn't help but whisper, "Is Miss Meng okay?" β
"Nope."
This answer disappointed everyone, and the 'waiter' said, "Hey, how can it be okay?" The opportunity to get a bounty is gone. β
"Speak carefully, be careful that Your Highness hears." Xingshen frowned.
The 'waiter' Wei immediately shut up, but it was too late, and Zhao Chen, who had never been lying down in the house, had already heard everything.
I saw the Third Highness leaning lazily on the couch, looking out with fluttering eyes, the young 'girl' at the entrance of the 'door' had already left, she said that there was nothing wrong, it was really a pity.
It turned out that the "book" that His Royal Highness had been reading carefully since the discussion just now was actually this ......
If he reads such a book by Meng 'Lang' in the broad day, if it is seen by others, the good reputation of the Third Highness will be completely gone. But as the saying goes, people are not romantic, and His Royal Highness is reading these books today, just because he has moved some thoughts, and he is not willing to ask other brothers and staff, so he reads and studies by himself, and he is really diligent and studious.
In this way, our diligent Third Highness took Meng Yuan to stay in Ganlin for another day, and then returned to Luzhou Mansion with a 'swing' and 'swing'.
The floods in Luzhou have been almost treated, but the embankment has only just begun to be repaired, and there is still a long time before it is completed. But Meng Yuan, a boudoir 'girl', has been out for too long and is not presentable, and there are some changes in the family, so Meng Cheng sent a letter asking Han Ning to take her back, so Meng Yuan could only say goodbye to Zhao Chen.
"With me gone, we won't see each other for a long time."
Sitting in the carriage, lifting the curtain and looking at the man outside, Meng Yuan felt this kind of strong reluctance for the first time in his heart after being reborn.
There are many outsiders, Zhao Chen is still the third highness of the strict sΓΉ, he frowned slightly, his long body was 'jade', and he suddenly said after a shallow "um": "I really want to forget something in your carriage." β
Meng Yuan had a question mark: Have you ever ridden in my carriage???
Zhao Chen continued: "I'll go in and take a look. β
Meng Yuan's mind hadn't reacted yet, but his body had already retreated to make way for him.
Zhao Chen opened the curtain and leaned in, and when she was about to ask "what are you looking for", he blocked her mouth with a 'lip' flap.
So, when Fufeng got into the carriage, he saw his young lady stuffed in the blanket with a red face.
That look, idiots know that it's thinking 'spring'.
"Miss......" Fufeng couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" Meng Yuan looked over, and Shui Lingling's eyes were full of stars.
ββ¦β¦ Nothing, you continue. Fufeng looked out of the car window with a wooden face, and said in his heart, life ...... It's so lonely as snow.
The road back to the capital was very smooth, in addition to Han Ning, the best guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhao Chen also sent Xingshen to escort her. Meng Cheng seemed very satisfied when he appeared outside his 'daughter's carriage, and after a few words with him, he let him go.
After going out for half a month, Meng Yuan didn't know much about the things at home, she 'handed over' everything to her father, this time I heard my father say that there was a little change in the family, and I thought it was to solve Aunt Lin and Meng Rou, who knew that after entering, I saw that the two of them were also waiting for her.
"My sister is back." Meng Rou stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "I haven't seen you for a long time, my sister seems to have lost weight, and her face is not very good, but it's good to come back, no matter how good it is outside, it is not as good as at home, and my sister will be able to raise it soon." β
Lin Wan smiled and said, "Yes, Yuan Yuan's temperament is indeed a little bad, is it tired of traveling?" Get inside, it's hot here. β
Prime Minister Meng Cheng glanced at her, without any expression, and only said to Meng Yuan: "Come into the house, don't bask anymore." β
Meng Yuan quietly followed his father in, and said in his heart, can my face be not bad? I thought you were all going to be wiped out, but who knew that as soon as I entered the 'door' and saw the two of you, my face would be good.
My dear father, why are you so unhelpful?
I was curious what happened to make Lin Wan and Meng Rou so good, so as soon as Meng Yuan entered the house, he hinted that his father would retreat. Prime Minister Meng Cheng sent Meng Rou and Lin Wan away very kindly, and only spoke when there were only their father and daughter left in the house.
"Yuan Yuan is angry for his father's promise?" He sighed a little helplessly.
"If the 'daughter' is not angry, the father should not think too much." Meng Yuan poured him a cup of tea, and the two of them did it, and she handed it before asking, "But I don't know why my father changed his mind?" β
Prime Minister Meng took a sip of tea and said, "Where did I change my mind, it was Concubine Lin who made me have to change my mind." β
"She 'forced' her father to lift their grounding?" Meng Yuan frowned.
"How could it be, she is a harem concubine after all, how can she interfere in the minister's family affairs."
"That's?"
Prime Minister Meng Cheng shook his head and said: "Your sister Rou'er has already made a marriage with the Second Highness, and she will marry into the Second Prince's Mansion as a side concubine in the near future." β
Meng Yuan suddenly opened his mouth wide, and said in astonishment: "Second Highness? The guy who is not 'yin' or yang? β
Hearing the 'daughter' description of Zhao Yin, Prime Minister Meng couldn't help laughing: "It's okay for you to say this to your father at home, but don't go outside to say it, it's a big crime to talk about the royal children in vain, and it is a big crime to be listened to." β
Meng Yuan knew that he was speechless, and said: "I'm just too surprised, my sister has never 'intersected' with him, how could she suddenly get married?" β
"It's the emperor's marriage." Prime Minister Meng Cheng said, "It's just a few days after you left, saying that Rou'er is not young, and she is the eldest sister, if she doesn't get married, your marriage with the Third Highness in the coming year will also be affected, so I gave the marriage and made a side room for the Second Highness." β
The emperor is the lord of the ninety-five, the lord of the world, where does he have time to care about whether the prime minister's mansion is a 'daughter' to be married? There are many bends and curves in this, and the left and right are just the wind blowing by the pillow of Concubine Lin.
However, this Lin Guifei is also a capable person, and the reason for persuading the emperor turned out to be Zhao Chen, and she didn't mention her relationship with the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion to 'serve' the Lin family, all for the sake of the emperor's favored and trusted three highnesses, which not only achieved the goal, but also made a good impression on the emperor, killing two birds with one stone.
"I wonder when the wedding date of my sister and Second Highness is set? If I'm not mistaken, His Royal Highness already has a concubine and a side concubine in the house, not to mention the concubine, she can marry better, why is she willing to ......"
Meng Yuan stopped when she said this, because she had already figured it out.
There is no other reason, the incident they had done to her before was violently 'exposed', and they had to think of a way out, since they couldn't find an exit in the prime minister's place, and the Lin family was a 'woman' in the back house, they could only start from Meng Rou, the 'girl' of the boudoir.
In the final analysis, it's all about survival, I don't know if Meng Rou will regret today's choice if she really marries in the future?
