The eldest prince mainly compensated Cheng Qing, and Cheng Qing seemed to be unable to decide what to ask the eldest prince for a while, frowning and thinking hard.

In the pavilion not far away, someone saw this scene in their eyes and couldn't help but want to discuss it or two.

"Yun Ting, what do you think Cheng Qing will ask for from his aunt?"

Where the female dependents gather, it is inconvenient for the young man to go over.

But this does not affect the three princes to watch the excitement.

The plum viewing party has begun, and the third prince is the only prince to go to the eldest princess's mansion.

In the past, the eldest prince and the second prince who intended to marry Roujia were nowhere to be seen, and it was obviously the emperor's decree to deprive Roujia of the title of county lord, which made the eldest prince and the second prince hesitate.

These two royal brothers are really spoiled, and they can even give up halfway if they can offer half of their hospitality, this kind of thing will definitely not happen to the three princes.

As long as the eldest princess does not fall out of favor, Roujia will have a day of regaining favor.

Marrying or not marrying Roujia said that the third prince was happy to do the matter of sending charcoal in the snow to please the eldest princess.

So today he not only came to the eldest princess's mansion, but also gave Roujia a valuable birthday gift.

The third prince thought that he must have seized the opportunity to stand out this time, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yunting actually came to the eldest princess's mansion!

What is Xiao Yunting here to do?

Xiao Yunting has never appeared at the plum viewing party in the Eldest Princess's Mansion.

Rou Jia likes Xiao Yunting very much......

The third prince hates Xiao Yunting more than he does with those brothers, doesn't this sick man know his existence and hinder the eyes of many people?

Since he can't live for a few years, he should honestly find a corner and wait for death, and he shouldn't think about things that he doesn't deserve - no matter which prince wants to marry Roujia and wants to win the support of the eldest princess, the three princes think that the other party has this qualification.

Only Xiao Yunting is not qualified.

What is the relationship between the prince and Xiao Yunting, both are surnamed Xiao, and the Yewang Mansion and the royal orthodoxy have been separated by many generations!

Xiao Yunting came to the Eldest Princess's Mansion today, and in the eyes of the third prince, this person was restless and didn't know how to measure. The third prince was still young in the end, and he didn't deliberately hide it in front of Xiao Yunting, Xiao Yunting could naturally feel the hostility of the third prince.

A fool like Roujia is also a treasure in the eyes of some people.

Xiao Yunting looked at the ladies gathered in front of him, and said lazily: "I have dealt with Cheng Jieyuan twice, I guess he will not ask for compensation from the eldest princess." ”

The eldest princess misjudged Cheng Qing.

It wasn't an ordinary sixteen-year-old.

The third prince said with a smile: "The cold window only seeks the title of the gold list, why should you participate in the scientific examination if you are not for fame and fortune, the people who are really indifferent to fame and fortune are all practicing in the mountains, and they are unknown for a lifetime!" ”

If one day, so-and-so hermit becomes famous, then even if he is not indifferent to fame and fortune, he must have a plan.

The celebrities who are not out of the office are still like this, and the scholars who are willing to enter the scientific examination are even more ambitious.

The third prince knew that the eldest princess was doing this to unravel Rou Jia, and she was also playing a trap on Cheng Qing, even if Cheng Qing himself knew that he had the strength to refuse such a temptation, did he have the courage not to cooperate with the eldest princess?

Xiao Yunting chuckled: "Then let's gamble?" ”

The third prince became interested, "What to bet on, you say!" ”

"Bet on your hot spring Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan, if you lose, then Zhuangzi will give it to me, the winter is long, let me stay in only one place and get tired of it, and it is not bad to have one more place to soak in the bath."

The three princes spent a lot of money to buy the hot spring Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan.

Before Li Neijian did not go to the south, the three princes really did not have a lot of money.

On his next trip to the south, Li brought back not only half of the Cui family's wealth, but also many merchants who wanted to give silver, but other families were not as much as the Cui family.

The three princes didn't care about taking the hot spring Zhuangzi in Xiaotangshan out to make a bet, Xiao Yunting showed his sincerity and said that the property in his name was chosen by the three princes.

Seeing that Cheng Qing was already showing signs of speaking, the third prince hurriedly said what he wanted:

"If Yunting you lose, leave the Eldest Princess's Mansion immediately, it's freezing this day, I'm worried about your body, you better go back to Xiaotangshan to recuperate as soon as possible!"

Of course, Xiao Yunting understood the true meaning of the third prince.

"Yes."

The two made a bet, and the bet contract officially took effect.

In the plum garden, Cheng Qing fell into a long period of thinking.

This young man is too greedy, isn't he?

Just ask for a little compensation, do you really want to seize this opportunity to open your mouth!

Cheng Qing's hesitation caused a group of female dependents to blow a cold wind in the garden.

All the female dependents are not thin in order to keep out the cold, but every time they appear in public on social occasions, it is a quiet competition, and if they are too bloated, they will lose their beauty, and they will not feel very cold when they can walk, and they will stand motionless and quietly, and some female dependents will be a little unbearable.

Just now, I thought Cheng Qing was in love, but now I think she is hateful.

This greedy thief is quick to make a decision!

The eldest princess also felt a little cold.

No, the more Cheng Qing hesitated, the happier the eldest princess became.

Hesitation is good, hesitation means that there are a lot of things you want, and even some requests that are too greedy.

This is what the eldest princess has to do.

Even if the emperor knows, he won't blame the eldest princess.

This is a frank conspiracy, not a conspiracy.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty should also take a look, the young man who forced the emperor to give justice was just a greedy villain, and he was not worthy of letting the ministers in the court stand out for it.

Roujia shouldn't meddle in the affairs of the country's eunuchs, but what if Roujia wants to get rid of it is just a greedy villain?

That is, Roujia's approach is wrong, and she is reasonably qualified to be forgiven.

What is right and what is wrong, sometimes the line is not so clear, as long as you seize the right moment, the situation will be reversed in an instant!

The eldest princess's conspiracy can be understood by many people.

Mei is not the only smart person.

But among these onlookers, there is probably only one Mei who is really worried about Cheng Qing.

After all, Cheng Qing is Rong Niang's nephew.

After Rong Niang's death, it was Cheng Qing who went to Beijing with Cheng Wu to pick up Rong Niang's coffin and returned to his hometown.

Mei couldn't bear to see Cheng Qing stepping into the trap of the eldest princess, and was very anxious, but Cheng Qing lowered his head and thought seriously, and couldn't see Mei's anxiety at all.

Cheng Qing struggled for a long time, and finally made a choice:

"If His Royal Highness must compensate, Cheng really wants to-"

"Cheng Jieyuan, you can forgive the countryman, can you forgive the classmate who made a mistake for a while?"

Mei was in a hurry, so he could only think of this way to interrupt Cheng Qing's words.

The eldest princess's gaze looked at Mei like a sharp blade.

Roujia also glared at Mei fiercely.

This young woman's eyes are tight, and she is still very bold, and she dares to jump out and do bad things!

The ladies should know the eldest princess, but the eldest princess may not know every guest.

Looking at it like this, the eldest princess obviously doesn't know the Mei family.

However, the maid beside the eldest princess obviously knew Mei and whispered Mei's identity.

The eldest princess's gaze turned from Mei's body to behind her, and Mrs. Hou Shizi of Changxing was crowded in a group of noble ladies, and she couldn't hide, so she stood up and reprimanded her daughter-in-law:

"You don't look at what the occasion is, it's your turn to speak? Don't hurry up and step back, don't delay the eldest princess and Cheng Jieyuan talking! ”

Mrs. Shizi scolded Mei for being a fool in her heart.

I did tell Mei to seize the opportunity to solve the matter of his youngest son Yang Daijie, but now is not a good time!

The eldest princess's gaze fell on Mrs. Shizi, as sharp as a knife, and Mrs. Shizi was a little weak.

The conscience of heaven and earth, they came to enjoy the plum blossom party, they really didn't want to destroy the arrangement of the eldest princess......

Mei Shi showed an aggrieved look, as if she didn't understand why her mother-in-law was scolding.

The ladies got it.

It was Mrs. Hou Shizi of Changxing who ordered Mei's family.

But Mei picked the worst time!

The ladies who understood this matter felt that Mei was stupid, but Cheng Qing, as a party concerned, felt different, she had already seen the anxiety on Mei's face - Miss Mei was helping her, and she was in such a hurry to interrupt her because she was afraid that Cheng Qing would say irreparable words and ruin her image.

Cheng Qing's heart was a little warm.

Cheng Qing couldn't let the eldest princess hold a grudge against Miss Mei.

So what to do?

Or go into battle yourself and pull the hatred value of the eldest princess and Roujia over!

"This lady, I don't know which classmate you want me to forgive, but we can talk about it later, you care about your family, and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess also cares about Roujia Xiangjun, let me talk to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess about Xiangjun first...... Your Highness, you asked Cheng what compensation he needed, and Cheng really thought of one thing! ”

The eldest princess ignored Mei and Mrs. Hou Shizi of Changxing, and her attention shifted to Cheng Qing again, like a hunter who had been waiting for a long time to see the prey stepping into the trap, the smile on the eldest princess's face was sincere, and it was a pride of forbearance.

Roujia was also desperately trying to suppress her joy.

Mei's hands and feet were cold, and she knew that she would definitely be blamed by her mother-in-law when she returned home.

What's bad is that she couldn't stop Cheng Qing at all.

Mei was depressed.

How can Rong Niang's nephew be so stupid!

Is this not recognizable to yourself?

When I mourned in the mourning hall, I had seen it.

In the pavilion, the third prince was quite proud, and when Cheng Qing finished speaking, he wanted to ask Xiao Yunting to leave the eldest princess's mansion.

Meng Huaijin didn't stop Cheng Qing from beginning to end, and didn't give any hints, Meng Huaijin had already seen Xiao Yunting, and after the cooperation in the disaster silver embezzlement case, he and Xiao Yunting were probably the two people who knew Cheng Qing the most.

Sure enough, Meng Huaijin heard Cheng Qing say to the eldest princess very seriously:

“…… What Cheng asked for was not for himself, but for the sake of the countryman. Please feel that when you feel offended in the future, you can endure your anger for a moment, think about today's apologies to Cheng, and hope that Xiangjun can be lenient to everyone who is as reckless as Cheng, Cheng boldly speculated, this may also be the good expectation that His Majesty has retained the title of Xiangjun 'Roujia', right? ”
