Chapter 117: Befriending Meng Yanwan (2)
Hearing Zhong Liyun say this, a sneer appeared on Meng Yanwan's face, "The princess said that I didn't misunderstand you." ”
Zhong Liyun sighed, "It seems that Miss Meng does have a heart for me, but the words I said in the palace are all involuntarily. ”
Meng Yanwan raised her eyebrows slightly, and repeated with some puzzlement, "Can't help yourself? ”
"Presumably Miss Meng also knows why I followed the mission to Dongyun."
Zhong Liyun showed a look of depression on his face, "There are many princesses in Nanning, I am the thirteenth daughter of my father, plus my mother's position is not high, and there is no family support behind me, I have always been taken seriously. ”
A trace of contempt flashed in Meng Yanwan's eyes, and she didn't speak, but listened to Zhong Liyun continue.
"This time I made a kiss, but my father didn't think of me. But someone suddenly mentioned it to his father, saying that the thirteenth princess is good at the four arts, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. ”
Zhong Liyun said with a wry smile, "I have studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hard since I was a child, and I just thought that my father would pay more attention to me, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating and become an excuse for others to use." ”
"My father changed his mind and made me a princess and came to Dongyun with the mission."
Meng Yanwan's expression was a little impatient, "You said so much, what do you want to say?" ”
Zhong Lixuan paused, lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, "Miss Meng, what I want to say is that what I did at the state banquet was not my original intention. ”
"There are all capable ministers and advisers in the mission, if it weren't for their instructions, how could I, an unfavored princess, say those frivolous words without permission?"
Zhong Liyun glanced lightly at the maidservant standing not far away, and sighed, "That's why I said that I couldn't help myself." ”
Then with a sincere expression on her face, she said to Meng Yanwan, "In my opinion, whether it is in Dongyun or in our Nanning, Miss Meng's piano skills are extremely rare, and anyone who listens to them will praise her extraordinary piano skills." ”
"At that time, after Miss Meng finished playing, I felt sorry for Miss Meng, but I was forced by others, and there was really no way to deliberately say those derogatory words."
"Here, I apologize to Miss Meng."
Seeing that Zhong Liyun seemed to be apologizing to himself very sincerely, Meng Yanwan's face looked much better.
Regardless of whether Zhong Liyun thought so in his heart, in the end, it was also with a show of goodwill, Meng Yanwan couldn't continue to keep a cold face, so she said, "I don't care about the previous incident for a long time, you don't have to apologize." ”
Zhong Liyun's face showed joy when he heard this, "Miss Meng is broad-minded, but I'm too stingy. ”
Meng Yanwan always felt that there was something wrong with this, but when she saw Zhong Liyun's happy expression, she felt that she was thinking too much.
Zhong Liyun's expression was a little confused, and he said, "Actually, speaking of which, I envy Miss Meng, who is not only noble, but also talented, and her appearance is also beautiful. ”
Meng Yanwan showed a hint of a self-contained smile on her face, "The thirteenth princess has praised it. ”
After being praised, Meng Yanwan was in a much better mood, and couldn't help but look at Zhong Liyun a little more pleasing to the eye, "The appearance and talent of the thirteenth princess are also good, why envy me." ”
"Miss Meng is so good, she will definitely be able to find a wishful husband in the future, and unlike me, I don't know where my future is." Zhong Lixuan shook his head and said.
Zhong Liyun's words just happened to reach Meng Yanwan's heart, and when she heard the words Ruyi Langjun, Meng Yanwan's cheeks were slightly red, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend up.
Seeing this, a hint of ridicule flashed in Zhong Liyun's eyes, and he was a little clear.
Meng Yanwan smiled a little more, and when she saw Zhong Li's drooping eyes, she seemed to be a little sad, and gave words of comfort, "The thirteenth princess has Nanning Kingdom behind her, how can she dare to snub you." ”
Her comforting words were very insincere, as if it wasn't her who gave Zhong Liyun a look before.
Zhong Lixuan's expression did not change, and he continued to sigh, "Miss Meng doesn't know, although I am a princess, no one will listen to me. ”
"After all, I'm just a princess who was sent in for peace without favor."
Her expression was low and helpless, "Now the weather is cold and the road is difficult, so the mission is still staying in Jinling, and others look at the face of the mission and give me some courtesy." If I wait until the beginning of spring next year, when the mission leaves Jinling, I don't know where I should go. ”
Zhong Liyun looked a little pitiful, but Meng Yanwan didn't eat it, she was not a man after all, and she didn't have the emotion of pity and pity.
Although Meng Yanwan's attitude towards Zhong Liyun has eased, it is not to the extent that she can help Zhong Liyun for no reason.
"The thirteenth princess is too worried, even if the Nanning mission leaves, you are still the princess of Nanning, and no one will treat you rudely and coldly."
Meng Yanwan comforted a few words of innocence with some perfunctory, and seeing that Zhong Liyun was still depressed, Meng Yanwan was a little more impatient.
"Thirteenth princess, I can understand your situation, but I can't do anything."
When Zhong Liyun heard Meng Yanwan say this, he said with some understanding, "I know that although Miss Meng is kind-hearted, she must also be powerless in my affairs, and I don't expect Miss Meng to do anything for me." ”
Meng Yanwan's expression improved slightly.
"It's just that I'm lonely in Jinling, thinking that if I can make some friends, it can also comfort my feelings of missing my homeland." Zhong Liyu looked at Meng Yanwan with a pair of eyes, and said with expectation, "Miss Meng, would you like to meet and chat with me from time to time?" ”
Meng Yanwan hesitated for a while.
She was wary of Zhong Liyun, and felt that Zhong Liyun was not as soft and harmless as she seemed on the outside, but after this contact, Zhong Liyun's performance was too sincere, which made Meng Yanwan a little unbearable to refuse her.
After hesitating for a while, Meng Yanwan agreed.
She nodded and said, "If the thirteenth princess has time, just hand over a post to the Meng Mansion." ”
Zhong Lixuan's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Miss Meng is really a kind person. ”
Meng Yanwan saw Zhong Liyun's joyful expression, and some of the remaining reluctance in her heart slowly faded, revealing a kind smile, "The thirteenth princess is too polite. ”
Zhong Liyun said softly in a soft voice, "Miss Meng might as well call me Yuan'er, the title of princess is too rusty." ”
Meng Yanwan was a little uncomfortable with this name, and she didn't expect Zhong Liyun to be so familiar with the relationship between the two of them, so she moved her mouth and didn't shout.
"I wonder if I can know Miss Meng's name?" Zhong Liyun asked with a gentle and lovely smile on his face.
"My name is Yanwan," Meng Yanwan said, "Thirteen princesses... You can call me Yan Wan. ”
Seeing that the two people in front of them were saying this with smiles on each other's faces, the two maidservants of Zhong Lixuan who were standing not far away glanced at each other and lowered their heads again.
