Mrs. Taiwei said politely, "The princess still has a seat." ”

Zhong Liyun sat down on the chair gently, looked at Mrs. Taiwei, and said with some embarrassment, "I took the liberty to come and disturb Madame." ”

"The princess came to the Meng Mansion, I don't know what happened?" Mrs. Taiwei asked.

"I've been here for a few months now." Zhong Liyun said a little slowly, "When I first came to Dongyun, I found that this place is somewhat similar to Nanning, but there are also many differences. ”

"The climate here is drier than Nanning, and the winters are colder than Nanning. There are many lakes in Nanning, so there is more rain and heavy moisture, so the skin of the women over there will be more delicate..."

“... Nanning is located in the southeast of Dongyun, the climate will be much warmer, there is almost no snow in winter, only in the northernmost cities of Nanning, there will be snow or two..."

Hearing that Zhong Liyun had been talking about some differences between the climate and environment of Nanning and Dongyun, and didn't say the purpose of her coming over after listening to it for a long time, Meng Yanwan endured it, but still couldn't hold back, and interrupted her loudly, "Thirteenth princess, you said so much, what do you want to say?" ”

Zhong Lixuan stopped, and there was an embarrassed look on his face again.

She hesitated, "I want to say that although I love the customs of Shinonome very much, I have not been able to adapt to life here. ”

"Last time I competed..."Zhong Liyun raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Yanwan, and said softly, "I was lucky to beat Miss Meng, I wonder if Miss Meng minds?" ”

Meng Yanwan was originally holding back her impatience and watched Zhong Liyun speak pretentiously there.

Hearing that Zhong Liyun actually mentioned the matter of the last competition, her face was extremely ugly for a while, and she didn't care about what Mrs. Taiwei had said to her before, and blurted out in a somewhat sharp voice, "You..."

Mrs. Taiwei interrupted Meng Yanwan's words in time, glanced at her, frowned and turned her head to Zhong Liyun and said, "The thirteenth princess came today to remind the little girl that she lost to you in the competition?" ”

The corners of her eyes were raised with a hint of fierceness, "The thirteenth princess has already won the competition, so why bother to come over to stimulate the little girl?" ”

"Madame Taiwei has misunderstood," Zhong Liyun denied as if he was a little flustered, "how could I possibly mean that." ”

Mrs. Taiwei's voice was cold, "Then what does the thirteenth princess mean?" ”

Zhong Lixuan paused, looked at Meng Yanwan and said, "I came here today because I think Miss Meng's piano skills are extraordinary, and I want to have a good exchange with Miss Meng." ”

Meng Yanwan's lips were tightly closed, and the expression on her face was obviously disbelieving when she heard Zhong Liyun say this, and her eyes were still very unkind.

"In the past few months since I came to Dongyun, I didn't have any good friends around me, and I stayed in the state guesthouse every day, and my life was very boring." Zhong Liyun's expression was a little confused, and he sighed slightly.

"Although there are many official ladies in Jinling, I appreciate talented women more," Zhong Liyun seemed to be a pity when he said, "There are very few people who have fallen in love with me." ”

With sincerity in his eyes, Zhong Liyun said, "Thinking of Miss Meng's demeanor of stroking the qin, I feel that I am very close to Miss Meng, so I took the liberty to come." ”

"If there is any offense in my words, please forgive Madame and Miss Meng."

Zhong Lixuan's posture was very low, and Mrs. Taiwei didn't say anything, but said, "The little girl's temperament may not be compatible with the princess." ”

Meng Yanwan's expression was a little better at this time, but she was not a stupid person, knowing that this Nanning princess could not come just to play the piano and discuss art with her, so she did not speak.

Hearing Mrs. Taiwei's refusal, Zhong Liyun smiled, "I think Miss Meng has a good temperament and is compatible with me." ”

Mrs. Taiwei frowned when she heard this, and then heard Zhong Liyun's voice say softly, "Gongzi Wen also pities me for having a hard time in the hall, and when he saw that I was coming to the Meng Mansion today, he specially sent more guards and maidservants to accompany me. ”

Hearing Zhong Liyun mention Wen Zihuai, Mrs. Taiwei's face turned straight, and her eyes stayed on Zhong Liyun for a while, as if she was thinking about something.

She glanced at the two maidservants standing behind Zhong Liyun, a smile appeared on her face, and she said to Meng Yanwan, "Wan'er, why don't you accompany the princess to the garden of the mansion?" ”

Meng Yanwan glanced at Mrs. Taiwei in surprise, and when she saw Mrs. Taiwei shaking her head imperceptibly, she suppressed the doubts in her heart and nodded, "Okay, mother." ”

After that, she turned her head to look at Zhong Liyun, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "The garden in the mansion has a good view, does the princess want to go and see it?" ”

Zhong Lixuan nodded and said, "Then I'll bother Miss Meng." ”

Meng Yanwan stood up, saluted Mrs. Taiwei, and walked out with Zhong Lixuan.

Mrs. Taiwei looked at the figures of the two leaving side by side, with a hint of thought in her eyes, and then shook her head, as if she was a little puzzled.

The area occupied by the Meng Mansion is also very broad, although it is not as exaggerated as the Fenyang Mansion, but it is also comparable to the mansions of ordinary princes and nobles.

In winter, there is no view of the garden at all, the flowers are gone, the trees are bare, and only a few hardy plants are still there.

Before, Mrs. Taiwei just made an excuse for Meng Yanwan and Zhong Liyun to get along at random, but after arriving at the garden, they each took their maidservants and walked along the verandah, and the atmosphere between the two was a little solidified.

The two of them never knew each other, and the only time they crossed paths was the competition at the state banquet.

Although Meng Yanwan is good at dealing with people, and she is also the kind of person who is exquisite in the banquet, the sullen breath in her heart has not come out at this time, and she doesn't want to talk to Zhong Liyun at all.

Although her mother's words were still echoing in her ears, Meng Yanwan only suppressed her emotions and didn't want to wronged herself to cater to Zhong Liyun.

Zhong Liyun's voice suddenly sounded beside her, "Is Miss Meng still dissatisfied with me?" ”

Meng Yanwan's footsteps stopped, and she turned her head to look at Zhong Liyun.

She didn't expect Zhong Liyun to take the initiative to provoke this topic, Yanli's face showed a trace of doubt, and then sneered, "Since the princess knows, why bother..."

Meng Yanwan stopped before she finished speaking, but the meaning she wanted to say was very clear.

Zhong Liyun also stopped, looking at Meng Yanwan with a pair of watery eyes, revealing a complicated and indescribable look.

She said to the two maidservants who were following her, "You stand farther away, I have something to say to Miss Meng." ”

The two maidservants looked at each other, hesitated, and finally took a few steps back.

Meng Yanwan looked at this scene coldly, did not move, and did not let her maid walk away.

Zhong Liyun took a few steps towards Meng Yanwan at this time, and said softly, "Actually, Miss Meng misunderstood me. ”
