Chapter 16: Shame for Rejection
When night fell, after Meng Qiqi bathed, he was lying on the bed leisurely reading a book and drowsy, when the palace maid Cuiping pushed the door and entered: "Seventh princess, Lord Li asks to see." ”
"Nope!" Meng Qiqi didn't raise his head and refused directly.
Cui Ping was about to turn her head and go out to reply, Meng Qiqi suddenly put down the book in his hand and said, "You don't have to go out to reply, let him just wait." ”
At this time, Li Jing was carrying a special pastry brought from home in his hand, pacing around the gate of the courtyard, he stretched his neck from time to time to look at the courtyard, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out to reply.
"This guard brother, can you help me pass it on again?" Li Jing stuffed a few pieces of broken silver to the guards at the door, after all, they were the guards guarding the Seventh Princess, although the position was not high, but Li Jing did not dare to offend.
The guard was not polite, accepted the broken silver and stuffed it into his arms, and said expressionlessly: "The Seventh Princess is busy, what's wrong with you waiting a little longer?" If you're really in a hurry, you can leave, and no one will let you wait! ”
Li Jing's face turned dark, he was a dignified champion, and now his ambition can't be rewarded, even the guards dare to talk to him like this, but he dares to be angry and dare not speak, and now his career is not smooth, and he has to look at his face everywhere.
In fact, how did he know that the two guards guarding the door were the personal guards with the highest martial arts skills around the emperor, so he clearly knew how distressed this Li Jing was to the emperor at the beginning.
At the beginning, he refused to marry the princess who wanted to die or live, and he made himself look so noble, and now he licks his face and stammers at the door, such people, they really despise them in their hearts and shame the face of men!
Li Jing looked at the two guards ignoring him, and looked at him with contempt from time to time, he didn't want to be insulted here, snorted coldly, turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Isn't this Lord Li?" So late, what to do here? ”
Li Jing turned around and saw Yan Fei walking towards him with a cold face, Li Jing looked at the other party suspiciously, it was so late, did Yan Hou come to find the Seventh Princess or did he come specifically to find him?
"Didn't Yan Hou appear here so late?"
Yan Fei frowned slightly, snorted lightly, and asked with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "As the master of the princes and princesses, do you still need to explain your whereabouts to Lord Li?" ”
He put his hands behind his back, tightened the ointment in his hand, and moved out of the shelf of the Marquis of Zhongyong for the first time. I don't know why, every time he sees this Li Jing, he has an urge to kick him away.
Li Jing thought that his emotional control was quite good, but he had just been scolded by the guards at the door, and now Yan Fei was talking to him in a weird way, and his anger was on the verge of exploding.
"You ......"
"Yan Hou, you are here, the princess asked me to invite you in." Meng Qiqi's personal maid Cui Ping walked out and interrupted Li Jing's words.
Yan Fei nodded at Cui Ping, glanced at Li Jing contemptuously, didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned around and followed Cui Ping in.
Li Jing's eyebrows frowned slightly at Yan Fei's back, and anger flashed in his eyes.
As soon as Yan Fei came, the seventh princess sent someone out, which means that the seventh princess was obviously in the house, and she knew that he was at the door, so she deliberately hung him here.
He couldn't figure it out, could it be because he had been rejecting her before, so he was not happy in his heart, and deliberately gave him a child, so it seems that the seventh princess really has no feelings for herself!
Thinking of this, his previous irritation dissipated somewhat.
Meng Qiqi didn't expect that he simply wanted to make Li Jing embarrassed and hit him, but he misunderstood it like this.
Yan Fei walked to the front hall and saw that Meng Qiqi had already changed out of his martial arts clothes, wearing a light pink peony gauze skirt, and his hair was tied in a bun behind him, and the whole person was a little less heroic in the daytime, and a little more soft and charming of a little woman.
His eyes flashed, and he looked away, and saluted Meng Qiqi: "Weichen has seen the Seventh Princess. ”
"Didn't I say it, during the lesson, Yan Hou, as a teaching master, didn't have to salute us, and Yan Hou forgot about it." Meng Qiqi reprimanded angrily, but his face was full of smiles without any blame.
Yan Fei chuckled, handed the medicine in his hand to Meng Qiqi and said, "I saw that when you practiced sword today, it seems that your arm was strained, this is the wound medicine, you remember to apply it before going to bed, and it will be fine tomorrow." ”
Meng Qiqi was stunned for a moment, reached out and pressed his sore arm, he did use too much force when practicing the sword today, but he didn't expect Yan Fei to be so careful, these trivial things have been noticed, she was grateful, and quickly took the ointment.
"Thank you Yanhou, I'll wipe it in a while."
"I saw Li Jing at the door just now, why didn't the seventh princess see him?" Yan Fei didn't know why she suddenly asked such a question, and as soon as she asked the words, she found that it was inappropriate, but she couldn't take it back, and her face was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Meng Qiqi didn't think there was anything, and asked casually: "Why should I see him?" ”
Yan Fei saw that Meng Qiqi's face was indifferent, his eyes were clear, and he was not affected by Li Jing at all, and a trace of irritability in his heart disappeared.
He raised his eyes and glanced at the sky outside, stood up, his knuckles lightly brushed the traces of the dark red brocade robe being pressed, and arched his hand to Meng Qiqi: "It's getting late, Yan Fei will leave, there will be a competition in seven days, Weichen hopes that the seventh princess can win." ”
Meng Qiqi didn't stay, after a day of practice, she was already sleepy.
After Cuiping sent Yan Fei off, she turned her head and trotted in, and said with a smile: "Princess, I think Yan Hou is much better than that Li Jing!" ”
"What's so much better, can't it be better at all?" Meng Qiqi rolled his eyes, one is a chaotic minister and thief, and the other is loyal and good for generations, where is there comparison.
"Yes, yes, the slave also thinks so, you see that Yan Hou's martial arts are high, the person is good-looking, and careful, even you noticed that you accidentally strained today, although Li Jing is a champion, but it is useless to be a scholar, without the protection of the princess, even a household is not good, how can you compare with Yan Hou!"
"Wait, wait...... What's going on in your head? Meng Qiqi hurriedly stopped her, how could this be getting farther and farther.
"What the slave means is that the princess has a good eye this time, and I believe that the emperor will not stop you this time." The more Cui Ping talked, the more excited she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this Yan Hou was very compatible with the seventh princess of her family.
Meng Qiqi knocked her head speechlessly: "What are you thinking about, you want to marry yourself so much, my father-in-law will go to sleep!" After saying that, he yawned and walked back.
Cui Ping pouted, and hurriedly trotted to keep up, but muttered in her heart how the princess had changed recently, she used to like a person to make trouble all over the world, and she had to grab it, but now she is so tactful, is it that Li Jing suffered a loss, this time she is ready to change a trick and want to catch it?
