Chapter 216: Good intentions didn't get things done
So after such a vote, the final vote chose Yangzhou as the fief of the Seven Princesses.
After voting, Meng Qiqi carefully reviewed the reasons for the eldest brother and the fifth brother to vote, and felt that it was very good.
Regardless of Yangzhou's location, the economic cuisine developed there is very impressive.
The third brother likes to do business there, the fifth brother likes to study some food there, and the eldest brother still has relatives there.
It seems that this Yangzhou is really the most suitable place to be her fiefdom.
Meng Qiqi thought about it for a while, as if his fiefdom in his previous life was in Yangzhou.
I originally thought that my father chose a neutral place after being entangled, but I didn't expect there to be so many reasons in it.
It turns out that there are many things that I really don't know about in my previous life.
It's just that Meng Qiqi remembered that there seemed to be some problems in Yangzhou that he hadn't figured out.
In her previous life, she had asked Yangzhou for help, although she had never been to a fiefdom, but she held a part of Yangzhou's military power. No one thought that she would fail to transfer troops when she transferred troops, and at the last moment, Meng Qiqi didn't know what caused the failure of the transfer.
It's the only thing she's not figured out until now.
However, the war has not yet begun, and the holy decree of rewarding the fief has not been issued, and it is still very early before she needs to find out the background of Yangzhou.
After discussing the matter of the fiefdom, Meng Qiqi and his brothers had an afternoon tea together, which rarely cultivated the relationship between brothers and sisters.
The point is that several brothers tried their best to ridicule this sister and discussed how to arrange people to help her sister build a fief as soon as possible.
Seeing the brothers talking very happily, Meng Qiqi suddenly became interested in stroking the qin, and several relaxed and fluttering songs were played, and each of them received very good and even outrageous praise.
When the sun was about to set, the princes saw that it was not early, so they slowly proposed that it was time to return to the palace.
At this time, Yan Fei checked three times in Jin County, but did not find any information about the eldest princess's concubine family, and after checking in Jin County for almost a whole day, she did not find a trace of rumors and rumors, even if there were some "good achievements" of the eldest princess's penance.
This situation made Yan Fei's intuition not quite right, and he decided not to waste time in Jin County, leaving people to continue the secret visit and then hurried back to Beijing.
When he left Beijing yesterday, he heard that several princes were going to ask the seventh princess to come out to discuss the fiefdom. With his understanding, the preferences of several princes are all over the world, and it is impossible to agree at all.
It is said that he did not leave the restaurant in the afternoon, and he may still be able to meet Qiqi in the past.
Yan Fei is looking forward to it even more.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper stopped him.
"Did Marquis Yan come here for dinner?"
Yan Fei raised her eyebrows, "Come and find someone." Seventh Princess, they shouldn't have gone back yet, right? ”
The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.
"Master Hou, they just finished eating and left, if you go after it now, maybe you can catch up."
When Yan Fei heard this, he chased directly in the direction of the palace gate.
It's just that he didn't know that Meng Qiqi and his brothers had just gone out as the shopkeeper said, but they happened to encounter a lantern festival on the street, so they decided to wander around the street and then return to the palace.
It's likely that two groups of people just missed out on it.
However, when visiting the Lantern Festival, the second prince deliberately quietly fell at the back of the line and walked side by side with Meng Qiqi.
While the other princes were concentrating on guessing the lantern riddle, the second prince suddenly turned his head and asked Meng Qiqi.
"How long has it been since you've seen Yan Fei?"
The second brother suddenly asked such a question with a little ridicule, which made Meng Qiqi stunned.
Her face was a little red, and she thought for a moment and said, "Not long." ”
The second prince looked at his sister's face carefully, and saw a little strangeness in his sharp eyes.
I secretly said in my heart, I knew that the water spilled by the girl who got married was already on someone else.
Seeing that the other brothers were about to clear the lantern riddle, the second prince gave Meng Qiqi a token.
He coughed lightly and said, "A few of us will go back to the palace in a while, and I will quietly help you cover up when the time comes, and I will allow you to go back later today." ”
Hearing this, Meng Qiqi was shocked.
Second brother, what does this mean?
The second prince remembered that he hadn't said anything about Yan Fei, and gently patted his forehead.
Annoyedly, he told the secret order in a few words.
But Meng Qiqi still felt a little emotional, and could only say that the world was impermanent.
Thinking of the beginning, she remembered that her second brother used to hate Yan Fei very much, but now she may have cooperated with Yan Fei too many times, and she is really getting more and more towards him.
Meng Qiqi couldn't help asking, "Second brother, aren't you worried that something will happen to me?" ”
The second brother felt that Yan Fei was the one who was more worried.
In fact, the second prince heard from the commander of the dark guard that Yan Fei's invasion of the palace would have happened today.
He also really sympathized with Yan Fei.
The second prince knows that there are lovers who are always absent from each other for a day, and Yan Fei is now investigating the matter of the eldest princess and returning to Beijing without results, maybe it is a depressed time, if he can meet Meng Qiqi, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
If it weren't for being busy for those things for so long, Yan Fei and Meng Qiqi wouldn't have missed so much time in the two-person world, how could he, who is an elder brother, help the two of them,
"Qiqi, don't worry, my brother has checked it out for you, how about a surprise for the second brother to help you and Yan Fei?"
Meng Qiqi nodded, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
Although I don't know what the second brother thinks, the surprise in this statement really makes her heart move.
Forget it, she and Yan Fei have never been separated for so long, and they haven't seen each other for more than a month or almost two months.
It is said that if you don't see each other for a day, then I'm afraid that several years of time have passed.
Meng Qiqi set off to the Treasure Pavilion non-stop, and came to the top floor with a familiar car, while sitting and eating snacks and admiring the moon, while waiting to surprise Yan Fei.
But time passed minute by minute, night fell, and soon the watchman passed.
To Meng Qiqi's disappointment, Yan Fei didn't come until late at night.
I can't tell how disappointed and uncomfortable I feel in my heart.
The night is getting thicker and thicker, and the second brother may still be waiting for her in the palace, so she has no choice but to go back to the palace first.
As soon as he got off the carriage at the gate of the palace, Meng Qiqi saw the second brother looking at him with a guilty face.
When I walked over, I heard the second brother say: "This time it's all the second brother who is wrong, I have to prepare any surprises, I didn't expect that there was a temporary accident at the Ministry of War, Yan Fei was called over as soon as she arrived in the capital, and she dealt with it overnight." ”
I see.
Meng Qiqi sighed.
She was very worried about Yan Fei when she was waiting on the top floor, for fear that something would happen.
There was even a sudden fear in her heart, afraid that everything that was happening now was just a dream.
Looking at the second brother's eyes full of self-blame, Meng Qiqi went over to comfort him.
