When Meng Zhou woke up, it was already the third day of the sun, and she sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, and she didn't remember how she finally went around and returned to this place.

Dream Zhou Xiang boasted that he had good drinking power, but he didn't know how to drink yesterday, but he was drunk after drinking a pot of wine. She recalled carefully for a long time, and the last memory always stopped at her proud toast screen, no matter how hard she tried, she didn't move forward for half a minute.

Meng Zhou wailed, how did he become what he is now after drinking, but now it's good, he didn't say it clearly, and he added a bad thing in vain. What if she borrowed wine and spilled something, and said something that she didn't have? Thinking of this, Meng Zhou had a headache even more.

At noon, Mengzhou rushed to the Heshan courtyard for a walk, but she didn't see Xiaokong, she was curious: "Heshan, doesn't Xiaokong live in the same courtyard as you?" ”

"He was picked up by the guards beside King Huai'an in the morning, saying that he was going to familiarize himself with the school."

"I didn't expect him to talk quite well."

Tsuruyama said: "That's fine, after all, we can't afford to give Xiaokong anything, and it's also a blessing for Xiaokong to stay in Kyoto and receive such a good education." ”

Meng Zhou didn't answer, Heshan glanced at her and said, "What's wrong with you, you don't look very good." ”

"It's nothing, it's just that you didn't get a good rest last night, by the way, did you go out yesterday and find out about that girl?"

"Not yet, but I'm sure she's in Kyoto."

Meng Zhou's face finally became a little happier, "Great, then I'll go out with you today to find it." ”

"No need, after all, you are a daughter, and there are some places in Kyoto that are inconvenient for you to enter and exit."

Meng Zhou was relieved and said, "I know, but if you need anything, you must tell me." ”

Heshan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's indispensable to trouble you." ”

After Heshan finished eating, he went out with a few people borrowed from Jingrong, and Mengzhou returned to the courtyard, and all the things that were deliberately hidden in his heart when he sat alone came out at once. She rubbed her hair irritably, why couldn't she stop.

"Girl."

Meng Zhou turned her head in response, saw Sanqi, and suddenly remembered Shen Min'er's instructions, she squinted her eyes, this person didn't come, she forgot about this business.

At that end, Sanqi saw Meng Zhou's eyes, his shoulders shook, and he remembered Jing Rong's instructions.

There was a few meters between the two, but Sanqi still stepped back.

Meng Zhou saw Sanqi's movements and stood up with the corners of his lips curled, "Sanqi guard, have something to do with me?"

"The master is waiting for the girl."

Hearing this, Mengzhou's momentum suddenly decreased, and she sat back on the stone bench, looking very weak, "I'm still tired of the Sanqi guards to tell me, I have a headache, I really can't go." ”

Sanqi raised the corner of his mouth, "It just so happens that the master was infected with a cold yesterday and had a headache, and now the doctor in the house hasn't left yet, so I'll take a look at the girl by the way." ”

"No, no, I'll just lie down for a while."

"Oh, that's probably the girl didn't wake up from her wine last night."

Meng Zhou grinded his teeth, and heard Sanqi sigh and say: "However, why did the girl drink a little too much, and tossed the prince for half a night, and the prince is still there..."

Before Sanqi finished speaking, Meng Zhou jumped up from the stool, and he still looked a little weak, "Let's go, lead the way." ”

Sanqi couldn't help laughing, coughed and asked, "Girl, please." ”

Entering the Yang Shu Courtyard, the shadows in the dream suddenly overlapped with the vision in front of her, and the vague white figure flashed, and she pressed the corner of her forehead to follow.

The door opened, Jing Rong looked at the figure deliberately hiding behind Sanqi, put down the book and said loudly: "You go down first." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the door of the house closed, Meng Zhou felt even more at a loss, her eyes fell on Jing Rong, and she said tentatively: "I heard Sanqi say that you are sick?" ”

Jing Rong didn't answer directly, just nodded at the corner of the table and said, "Sit down."

Meng Zhou sat down slowly, and saw that there was no different color on Jing Rong's face, and explained softly: "Actually, I have always had a good drinking power, but yesterday's wine was really good, and I didn't know the depth of the first taste before I lost my mind. ”

"You did say a lot of things."

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Meng Zhou's hands, "I, I'm talking nonsense, you should listen to a joke and let it pass." ”

Jing Rong curled her lips, "In such a hurry to deny it, you don't want to know what you said?" ”

Meng Zhou clenched his hands, didn't dare to squeak, Jing Rong lit the wooden box on the table, "Open it and take a look." ”

Before opening it, Meng Zhou's heart turned a hundred times, but after opening it, she looked confused, she lifted the contents of the box, took a closer look and said, "Jade plate? ”

"Well, your record last night is closed."

Meng Zhou's face turned red, and just as he wanted to ask carefully, Sanqi's voice came from outside the door, "Master, the Holy Messenger has come to ask you to go to the palace." ”

Jing Rong took the jade plate in Meng Zhou's hand and tied it sideways around her waist, "It's just right." ”

"Huh?"

Jing Rong stood up and smoothed the hair on Mengzhou's head, "I'll be back soon." ”

After that, Jing Rong took Sanqi to the palace, leaving Meng Zhou with a stunned face.

In the inner hall of the palace, there is a room of tea fragrant, and Jing Yuan is willing to sit at the table with a booklet and frown slightly. He was idle, holding a porcelain pot in his hand and looking at it.

The sound of footsteps in the hall came, and Jing Yuan looked up, his brows loosened, "It's coming." ”

"Your Majesty."

"Sit down."

Jing Rong sat down in his robe, Jing Sheng put down the porcelain bottle in his hand, glanced at Jing Rong's white crescent moon, and quipped: "It seems that my brother is in a good mood today." ”

"That's good."

It was rare to hear Jing Rong answering, and Jing Yuan also smiled: "I want to meet this strange woman who I haven't met yet." ”

Jing Sheng said with a smile: "There is no banquet to be held in the palace next week, and the emperor will definitely be able to have a good understanding at that time." ”

Jing Yuan glanced at Jing Rong and took a sip of tea: "Don't worry, there will be more opportunities in the future."

Jingsheng sat up straight as if she thought of something, and said: "Also, after all, the flower viewing banquet is full of people, and she is not familiar with Kyoto, so it is not too late to talk about it in the future, so let's talk about business first." ”

Jing Yuan bowed his head and signaled, "You said that day that there were clues to the deaths of several adults in Kyoto, but it was related to the Li family. ”

Jing Rong said: "The Li family did handle this matter, but the real master behind this case may be related to the new prince of Linzhou Kingdom. ”

Jing Sheng said: "Compared with his father, this prince is indeed greedy, not only has a relationship with the lug Yi clan who live in seclusion, but also extends his hand to Kyoto. ”

Jing Yuan frowned and said: "It seems that there are no waves on the surface of this water, but there is an undercurrent surging underneath, which is my carelessness." By the way, today is the day when General Xiaozong will enter Beijing with Gao Hou, Jing Sheng, you can find a more clever person to check secretly, so as not to make those people get in the way again. ”

"Yes."

Jing Yuan, "This matter is very important, involving the court and the dispute between the two countries, you must be cautious when investigating, as for the prince, you have to trouble your brother to make a meeting." ”

Jing Rong said in a low voice: "The emperor is serious. ”

Huai'an Palace, Meng Zhou just came out of the Yangshu Courtyard and saw the empty green running on the road. She was stunned for a moment and then smiled in her eyes, she didn't know how Jing Rong's steady temperament could bring out such a noisy appearance of Kong Qing, she thought that a string suddenly broke in her brain, perhaps, Kong Qing's temperament followed another person.

From time to time, Kong Qing panted and stopped in front of Meng Zhou, "Do you see my vainness?" Kong Qing said and gestured twice, "It's a little rabbit." ”

Meng Zhou thought for two seconds, and just now there was indeed a white thing in her eyes, she nodded, and pointed back, "See, it's running that way." ”

"Great." Kong Qing said and took Meng Zhou's hand, "Then you can take me to find it." ”

The warmth wrapped around her heart with her palms, and Meng Zhou's words of refusal choked in her heart, and somehow, all her thoughts seemed to be tied to the little heat in her palms.

"Okay."

Kong Qing said a few times before saying that those slaves and maids no longer follow her, Meng Zhou looked at Kong Qing's appearance and remembered the appearance of pretending to be an adult in June before, and the corners of his mouth curled.

"I saw it in vain." Kong Qing said and tugged at Meng Zhou's sleeve, "Look, it's there." ”

Meng Zhou squatted down and looked in the direction of the empty blue finger, the rabbit was probably panicked, and there were a lot of stains on his body, and now he was squatting at the other end of the cave to rest.

"I'm going to pick it up." Kong Qing said and was about to step forward.

Dream Monday slipped her away and said helplessly; "Forget it, good people do it to the end, you wait here, I'll go." Meng Zhou said as she pushed away the weeds and bent down into the dog hole, but she was stuck in the dog hole as soon as she reached out and couldn't move.

Behind her, Kong Qing said anxiously: "You have to hurry up, otherwise you will run away again in vain." ”

Meng Zhou struggled and said weakly: "I seem to be stuck." ”

"Then what to do, ah, I see, you wait for me to call someone to help you."

"No, no..." There was no response behind her, Meng Zhou wanted to cry without tears, it was embarrassing enough to be stuck, but now she still had to be watched, she thought about this, and her heart was even more anxious.

At this end, Mengzhou was trying his best to break free, and the rabbit at the other end was quietly squatting there and staring at her, as if watching a play. Meng Zhou said angrily to the rabbit: "Look at what, I'll stew you when I go out." ”

The rabbit seemed to understand human speech, and sprang to the left in fright.

"Hey, don't run, I'm kidding." Meng Zhou was talking and the rabbit turned around and ran back.

Then the sound of footsteps sounded, and Meng Zhou turned his head to look, and saw a crescent moon white corner slowly shaking over.

With a chuckle, Meng Zhou closed his eyes and looked up, and saw a young man beside Jing Rong looking at her with a smile, and Sanqi behind him was also unpredictable.

Jing Rong squatted down helplessly, "If you don't stay honest, why did you come here." ”

"I'll catch the rabbit, and that's it."

Meng Zhou said and followed his fingers, where was there still the shadow of a rabbit. The laughter became louder, and Meng Zhou was afraid that Jing Rong would not believe it, so he hurriedly added, "Really, I really catch rabbits." ”

"I see." Jing Rong rubbed the ash on Mengzhou's face, "Come out." ”

"I thought, isn't this stuck?"

Sanqi couldn't hold back, he laughed out loud, and when he received Meng Zhou's resentful eyes, he immediately restrained his expression.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming to save you."

Jing Rong frowned, "Qing'er." ”

When the words fell, a force rushed behind Meng Zhou, she didn't stop it, and her arm bent into Jing Rong's arms.

On the other side of the wall, Kong Qing squatted down excitedly and poked his head out to look over, "How is it, do you see... Daddy! ”

The scene was silent for a while, Meng Zhou reacted first, and she got off Jing Rong in a panic, "Yes, I'm sorry, are you okay?" ”

She said and saw two black handprints on Jing Rong's chest, "I, I'll pat you on the back." ”

"No need." Jing Rong sighed and brought Meng Zhou up, "I'll go back and change it." ”

On the side, Jingsheng saw the two marks on the white, and Chong Jingrong joked: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and my skills have not diminished back then." ”

Kong Qingyi slipped over from the dog hole, reached out and grabbed Jing Rong's cuffs, leaving two darker handprints, "Daddy, you're back." ”

Jing Rong's hand that wanted to stop was put down in vain, and he pressed the corner of his forehead, "Next time, you two will go the right way." ”

Meng Zhou went back to the courtyard to clean up, and when he opened the door, he saw that the fairy-like person he met yesterday was sitting on a stone bench waiting.

Seeing Meng Zhou come out, Xu Wan stood up suddenly, lowered his eyes and suppressed the excitement on his face, and then whispered tentatively: "I brought pastries, do you want to taste them?" ”

Meng Zhou touched the tip of his nose and was a little cramped, "Well, okay." She said and slowly sat opposite Xu Juan, and said, "By the way, I heard the two little masters call your aunt yesterday." ”

Xu Juan thought of the two children, and her heart was gentle, "Well, I was in a hurry yesterday, and I haven't asked the girl's name yet." ”

"Dream Week."

"Dream Week." Xu Juan repeated in a low voice, "A big dream, turning around and seeing the old man again." ”

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"Nope." Xu Juan shook his head lightly, and said with a soft smile: "My single name is Juan, you can just call me Juan'er." ”

Meng Zhou was a little hesitant, and said in his heart, yesterday the two little masters called the girl in front of him to call her aunt, which shows that her status is noble, and now even if this noble man says her name directly, but after all, she is a common person, and it is always inappropriate to call the royal nobles by their names.

Xu Juan saw that Meng Zhou was hesitant, she hid the loss in her eyes, and said softly: "It's me who is too anxious." ”

"Huh?"

Xu Wan said: "I mean you really have a lot of unfamiliar things when you first came to the house, if you need any help, just ask." ”

"Yes, thank you..."

Yishu whispered to the side, "Sixth princess." ”

Meng Zhou smiled, "Yes, thank you to the sixth princess." ”

Xu Wanying answered, opened the wooden box, and handed one to Meng Zhou, "Taste if it's delicious." ”

"Thank you, Sixth Princess." Meng Zhou said and took a bite, his eyes lit up, "This is much more delicious than what I ate in the Yuanxiao Pavilion in Kyoto yesterday, and the princess is a good craft." ”

"If you like, I'll make it for you."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned. Xu Juan obviously realized that what she said was abrupt, she coughed lightly, lowered her eyes and saw the jade plaque on Mengzhou's waist and said, "This jade was given to you by King Huai'an." ”

Meng Zhou touched the jade plate and nodded.

Xu Juan said with a smile: "This jade card is precious, he gives it to you as his own family, and we don't have to be too restrained between us as a family." ”

"My own family!?" Meng Zhou's heart set off a monstrous wave. She remembered the look on Jing Rong's face when she gave her the jade plaque. Xindao, could it be that she always thought about her wife and concubine during the day, which caused her to get drunk that night and say some nonsense to ask for identity!

Meng Zhou bounced up from the table, took off the jade card and put it on the table, took two steps back and waved his hand: "No, no, no, you must have misunderstood, the sixth princess." ”

"What kind of misunderstanding?"

Hearing Jing Rong's voice, Meng Zhou rubbed his head.

Jing Rong saw the jade plaque lying alone on the edge of the table, frowned, and said, "Why did you take it off?" ”

"Well, there may be a misunderstanding about this, I, I was just drunk and talking nonsense that night, if you really hear any crazy words, don't take it seriously."

Jing Rong saw Meng Zhou's helpless appearance, and combined Xu Juan with Meng Zhou's drunken voice that night, and knew that the person in front of him must be thinking about the concubine again. He sighed in his heart, stepped forward and took the jade plaque and stood in front of Meng Zhou, and said softly, "Didn't you cry that night and ask me to teach you swordsmanship?" He also said that he wanted me to find a good errand for you temporarily, and now I have a good way to learn swordsmanship with silver, don't you want it? ”

Meng Zhou was stunned for a second, "Really? ”

"Hmm."

Xu Juan explained in a timely manner: "This jade card has everyone around King Huai'an, and it is more convenient to go in and out with it." ”

Xu Juan said that when he saw Sanqi, he hurriedly said: "By the way, I remember that there is one in Sanqi." ”

Sanqi's face was confused, he turned his eyes and saw Jing Rong nodding slightly, stammering, "Yes, yes, my subordinates do have a piece, but I forgot to bring it when I changed my clothes today, and my subordinates will bring it when they go back." ”

Jing Rong and Xu Juan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Meng Zhou's suspicious expression had finally passed.

"That's the case, then it's hard for King Huai'an to plan for me."

Jing Rong curled her lips, "What do you think I misunderstood?" ”

"Ahh Meng Zhou touched the tip of his nose, "That." ”

Jing Rong didn't ask, and handed the jade plate to Meng Zhou, "Take it, don't lose it." ”

"Yes, yes, I must put it away."
