After dinner in the Protector's Mansion, Meng Guanyue and Xu Jingyu returned home.

The moment she entered, Xu Jingyu, who was one step ahead, paused at her feet, and when she came up, she turned her head sideways and wanted to say something, Meng Guanyue had already preemptively said: "Your Highness, I think we have to talk!" ”

Xu Jingjue's slender eyebrows raised slightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and he asked, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

What to talk about? Why didn't he come into her room?

Or, ask him why he doesn't put any of the women in?

Although she has only been married for less than three days, and there is no close and competent person around her to help her find out the news, but she has silver in her hand, and it is easy to do things if she has silver, whether it is in the Guogong Mansion or the Prince's Mansion, as long as she is willing to spend money, she will be able to inquire about what she wants to know.

It turned out that although it was true that there was a concubine in his house, he had never entered any of the concubines' rooms, including the two side concubines who came in two months before her.

"Why?" In the end, all the questions could only be reduced to these three words, because she also knew how to be polite and honest, and she couldn't ask him why he didn't enter the door.

"What, why?" He asked with a smile.

Is this to force her to answer regardless of the woman's reserve?

Meng Guanyue only felt that her face was hot, and she wanted to escape, but she knew that if she couldn't get an answer tonight, then there would definitely be not many opportunities to see him again in the future.

Taking a deep breath, she hid her shyness, tilted her head haughtily and asked, "Since you don't like me." And why did you marry me? ”

Yes, it seems that all the embarrassment can only be covered up by asking this question.

Xu Jingju's eyebrows raised slightly again, and he continued to ask: "Second Miss thinks, how many couples in this world get married because they like each other?" And how many couples are truly in love with each other? What's more, if you are born like us, how many people will choose the person they like to marry according to their temperament? ”

Three questions in a row seem to be asked casually, but it is still difficult to hide a trace of loneliness in the tone.

"I thought ......"

I thought I was at least special! It's different!

These words almost blurted out, but she still held back, just put on an indifferent expression. Suddenly sneered: "I thought." You're going to put on a show, at least not to embarrass me like that! ”

Although, he didn't touch any of the women in the backyard, those women must have been sad and upset. But those are all concubines. It's insignificant.

But she is a concubine. It was he who invited the emperor's decree and the wife of the Ming media who was given by the emperor.

Although, she also knows that there is her own fuel. But if the concubine and concubine are generally neglected, how can she serve the public in the prince's mansion in the future?

How is the concubine who has no name different from the rest of the women? Or rather, the humiliation will be even worse.

She absolutely couldn't stand it.

Moreover, what does he mean by calling her Second Miss? Does it mean that he won't really treat her as his wife?

"I thought ......" he looked at her, the warm smile on his face remained unchanged, and he also said these three words, after a pause, the curvature of the corners of his mouth seemed to rise a little higher, and in her nervous subconscious expectation, he continued, "I thought that your request was nothing more than that!" My concubine Xu Jingju, a name that can be said! As for the rest, do you really want it? Or do you really want to be my people, or - bet on my future status? ”

"You ......" Meng Guanyue's complexion changed sharply, her feet were soft, and she almost fell.

But the person in front of her was still smiling so gently, but she didn't make any movements as if she was laughing, and she staggered back before she stood firm.

Under the light of the jumping lantern, those deep eyes seemed to be much colder than before, and more as if they could penetrate her exterior, point to the depths of her heart, and dig out all her thoughts so far.

"What are you talking about, I don't understand!" Only now, she can only hide the fear in her heart and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

He shook his head slightly, and said meaningfully: "I thought that the second lady at least dared to act, but it turned out that it was nothing more than that!" ”

This sentence exploded above her head like a muffled thunder, Meng Guanyue only felt that her breathing was a little tighter, suppressing the fear and nervousness that surged up in her heart, she wanted to put herself in a more advantageous position, and said arrogantly: "Okay! If you say that about me today, you have never taken me to heart! Well, I can also tell you frankly.

That's right, I did bet on you that you would be the candidate for the prince! And what I really want is nothing more than the opportunity to become the most honorable woman in the right name!

It's just that I hope you can also understand that your future status is not something that can be easily obtained by relying only on your own efforts and the thoughtfulness of Concubine De, but also requires my foreknowledge of certain things.

Including Xu Jingyu, who has the most fierce competition with you, Xu Jingxuan's fate, and what is about to happen at the border pass, these are the opportunities for you to stand out and get the approval of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor above the court! ”

Xu Jingjue's eyes turned her head sideways to look at the gloomy sky when she was gasping for nervousness after she said all this, and suddenly asked indiscriminately: "It's been gloomy for two days, when will it rain?" ”

Meng Guanyue was stunned for a moment, and then knew that he was testing her so-called prediction ability!

So, she smiled with confidence, and said silently in her heart: "It will take three or four days for such a gloomy day, and then there will be an autumn rain, and then the weather will be fine, but it will be a little colder." ”

"In autumn, it is naturally an autumn rain and a cold! What's more, it's the end of autumn! Xu Jingyu seemed to sigh with emotion, and then turned around and walked away, leaving nothing behind.

Meng Guanyue was stunned for a moment, and was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot, and only then did she want to call out the man who was unfathomable and never knew what kind of heart was hidden under his gentle appearance, and a figure flashed in front of her, and a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, delicate and beautiful, with a sweet smile, appeared in front of her, and greeted with a respectful and polite smile: "Princess, you have been tired from working hard at your parents' house for a day, you must have worked hard, go back to your room to rest early!" ”

Listening to the voice, Meng Guanyue knew that this maid was Yiling, the maid who sent a message to Xu Jingyu on the wedding night, and she was the personal maid who served Xu Jingyu closely.

In other words, what her words represent is actually the meaning of the master, and it was Xu Jingyu who hinted that she asked her to go back and have a good rest.

Meng Guanyue looked gloomily at the direction of Xu Jingyu's disappearing back, biting her lower lip tightly, and while she couldn't figure out his thoughts, she felt even more uneasy in her heart.

Can her self-righteous bargaining chips really control that unfathomable man? (To be continued.) )
