In the middle of summer, it gets hotter and the weather is clearer.

Mei Zixin has made an agreement with her since she met Bai Yiyan last time, and she will come to the back door to pick her up in the future.

Today, let the little maid hand over the news first, Bai Yiyan didn't eat lunch and wanted to go to the street to play.

When Sun Ruoruo was invited, she was refused, Bai Yiyan could only go by herself, this time she didn't even want to bring her maidservant, for fear of being sued.

Sun Ruoruo tried to persuade her to no avail, so she had to let her go, and at the same time carefully keep it secret for her.

"Miss, are you taking this opportunity to make some soup for the prince?" Tortoiseshell brought in the freshly boiled black chicken soup and proposed.

"You know what!" Sun Ruoruo reprimanded.

This tortoiseshell still doesn't give up, and is still speculating about her going to Mei Changqing to flatter, she doesn't want to please him, at least not now.

Mei Changqing still has feelings for Bai Yiyan, if she goes, it will be absolutely unwise for Bai Yiyan to find out that her sincerity is wrong.

……

Bai Yiyan, who left the palace, was like a canary who escaped from the cage, changing his sad face in the past few days, and when he saw Mei Zixin, he was as excited as seeing a friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"I'll wait until you come." Bai Yiyan danced with his hands, "You don't know, in the past few days, your imperial brother has given me a stinky face every day, and I can't hold it back in the palace." ”

"If my sister wants to come out in the future, just send a maid or eunuch to send me a letter, and I will try my best to take my sister out!" Mei Zixin looked at her sympathetically.

To be honest, his life in the court has not been easy these days, originally he was supposed to go to the court to help his father and brother deal with government affairs when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, but because of physical reasons, he always made the courtiers and several other brothers laugh at and obstruct.

A few days ago, the emperor held a family banquet, and his aunt interceded for him, and the emperor saw it and asked him to observe it temporarily. The queen and the crown prince wanted to object, but fortunately, King Jing stood up at this time and said good things for him, so he could continue to stay.

But if he knew that Mei Changqing wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate him, he would never feel a trace of gratitude to him in his heart, just because Yan'er saved him, he would let him be tortured and ridiculed.

If you want him to retreat from the difficulties, let him know that he and him can't be compared, can you only be his princess?

But who can say that he took advantage of the situation, obviously he made Yan'er angry first, he suppressed him in his career, he tortured him in the love field, and he didn't know who would win.

"You are so good, you know how to comfort and be considerate of my sister. Where is it like that bastard, who only knows his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all! Bai Yiyan complained, as if he could feel better in this way.

"Brother Huang...... Maybe you just don't like me, but my sister should not see me again, right? Mei Zixin sighed, her sensible appearance made Bai Yiqian very distressed, the more he compromised, the more Bai Yiyan felt sorry for him.

"I don't allow you to talk nonsense, your imperial brother is just a little prejudiced against you, not deliberately targeting you, wait for you to behave well in the future, and I will help you say some good things in front of him, he will definitely not treat you so coldly again." Bai Yiyan comforted Mei Zixin, she didn't care about Mei Changqing's attitude, but Mei Zixin couldn't.

Mei Changqing has a high status in the court, if he is willing to speak to help him, his career will be smoother in the future. He often heard the cheap prime minister's father mention that Mei Changqing, the king of respect, has a very heavy weight in the court, and even the prime minister and the general have to scold him.

This is not that he, as the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, married him as a concubine, and Sun Ruoruo, as the concubine of the General's Mansion, married him and became a side concubine.

These two major boosts are the two biggest chips for him to win the heir in the future. And Mei Zixin, no matter which side he is on, he is such a special body, she believes that no one wants to hurt him. As long as there is nothing wrong with Mei Changqing, the prince will definitely beg Mei Changqing to protect him before leaving the palace and leaving Mei Changqing, believing in Mei Changqing's character, and will never do anything treacherous to her.

"Then thank you sister for your kind words for me!" Mei Zixin changed her lost appearance, happily took Bai Yiyan's hand and said, "Since I can't repay it, then I will invite my sister to eat delicious food and have fun, you just have to say, what I have is money!" ”

Ouch, this little kid said with a proud face that she was rich, which really made her envious. When will she be able to say to others so boldly, although she said, I have money. Alas, she has been dying of poverty recently, and everything she collected before has been hidden by Mei Changqing's bastard, just to prevent her from escaping.

But she doesn't want to run away now, she just can't ask the little kid to pay every time she goes out, which makes her feel very embarrassed, and she can only keep saying good things to comfort him.

"Okay, I didn't bring any money when I came out in a hurry today, but it's up to you!" Bai Yiyan pretended to be serious and amused him, and the two of them sat in the carriage and laughed continuously.

……

The Royal Study.

"Lord, the slave maid heard that the princess and the ten princes went out to play, and they didn't even bring a handmaid, aren't you worried about her?" Mama Zhao came in with tea, and when she saw Mei Changqing writing a secret fold, she stepped aside and said in a tone.

"This king is worried, what can this king worry about, what does she want to do if she doesn't listen to the advice herself, it's her business, and it has nothing to do with this king!" As soon as Mei Changqing heard it, she knew that Bai Yiyan would not settle down, and said angrily.

"Lord Wang, you can't make a child's temper at this time, you should also know that the temperament of the Ten Princes is not pure, if you let the princess go out with him again, I'm afraid it will be ...... It can be detrimental to your reputation and prestige. Mama Zhao sighed, she really didn't want to see the little couple go on with such a cold war, and when the time came, it would definitely be cheaper for those people behind the scenes, and the gains outweighed the losses.

"You mean to let the king bow to her first?" How can it be!

The prince has never bowed his head to anyone when he is so big, even the emperor has to offer enough favorable conditions to exchange with him, and now he actually asked him to ask Bai Yiyan for forgiveness, it is absolutely impossible!

"The slave maid doesn't mean this, the slave maid only hopes that you will be harmonious and beautiful, and the princess's temperament will jump out, so you will let her order!" Mama Zhao couldn't help but sneer.

The prince has been what she has seen since she was a child, where does she not know what Mei Changqing thinks in her heart, the prince loves face so much in front of the princess, and he will know which one is more uncomfortable in the future, the princess or him.

"Impossible, Mama doesn't have to say it anymore, go out and get busy!" Mei Changqing was impatient, and she had already started to drive people away from Mama Zhao.

Mei Changqing felt more and more that he had married himself and went home, but when he cleaned up the mess, he was willing to do it.

Only this time, he will definitely not compromise with her easily, otherwise with her temperament, he will definitely ride on his head in the future.

That being said, when night came, a certain man still stepped into Tingyuxuan, standing at the door and hesitating to go in.

Bai Yiyan had already returned to Tingyuxuan, and now he was having dinner with Sun Ruoruo, and the two of them were talking and laughing, which made Mei Changqing jealous for a while.

"The princess and the side concubine, the prince is here, and he is standing at the gate of the courtyard." Liuli came back from the kitchen, was swept away by Mei Changqing's cold gaze, and ran to the room to inform the two of them with a tremble.

When Sun Ruoruo heard this, she hurriedly pulled Bai Yiyan to put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and went out to greet her.

"The concubine sees the prince, the prince Jin'an." Sun Ruoruo had already squatted down to salute when he saw the corner of the dark python robe at the corner of the courtyard gate.

Only Bai Yiyan was reluctant, and squatted casually, even if it was a salute.

She didn't give him face like this, and he couldn't bear to say anything about her, it seems that he was really planted in her hands in his life.

"Princess!" Sun Ruoruo saw Mei Changqing's expressionless face and guessed that he was angry, so he secretly pulled the corner of Bai Yi's clothes and whispered to her.

Bai Yiyan was hindered by Sun Ruoruo's presence, so he could only roll his eyes and shout without a pause: "See the prince and the prince Jin'an." ”

Mei Changqing snorted coldly, stepped over the squatting bodies of the two, and walked straight to the round dining table in the back room.

"The two concubines look very comfortable, don't they?" Mei Changqing hooked her lips slightly, but Sun Ruoruo could feel the coldness in his words, and she shivered unconsciously.

Bai Yiyan thought that Sun Ruoruo was cold, just now in order to welcome Mei Changqing, he didn't have time to add clothes, although it was summer, but there was still wind in the evening, bringing a trace of coolness, if you didn't pay attention, you would catch a cold.

"Sister, let's go in quickly." Bai Yiyan picked up Sun Ruoruo on the side and asked Liuli to bring her cloak quickly.

"Bai Yiyan!" Mei Changqing saw that Bai Yiyan ignored him, and arranged for the maid to do things, and shouted her name angrily.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yiyan's tone was flat, looking at him quietly, waiting for his next step.

Mei Changqing felt like he had punched cotton for a while, and this kind of white Yiyan made him very powerless.

Seeing that Mei Changqing had not spoken, Bai Yiyan should have rushed people, "If the prince is fine, please go back, the prince is busy, and the concubines dare not disturb." ”

"...... Er" Mei Changqing frowned, unwilling to be driven away by her in a few words.

"Sister, try it, this is the osmanthus crisp that Xin'er and I went to the No. 1 Restaurant in the capital today and specially brought back for you, it's delicious." Bai Yiyan gave shortbread to Sun Ruoruo, and stared at Mei Changqing proudly and said fiercely.

Her style made Sun Ruoruo, who was a side concubine, restless, and she didn't dare to move the chopsticks when she was sandwiched in the osmanthus crisp in her dishes.

How dare she, how could she do this to the prince?

Sun Ruoruo was always shocked in her heart, afraid that she would annoy Mei Changqing.

Sure enough, Mei Changqing smashed the precious glass teacup in his hand, stood up suddenly, suppressed his anger and said, "This king said that you are not allowed to see him again, don't you understand!" ”

Bai Yiyan knew what he was going to do as soon as he saw his movements, and quickly pulled up Sun Ruoruo, who was sitting on the side, so as not to almost hurt her by mistake because of their grievances.

"Why!" Bai Yiyan seemed to feel that Mei Changqing's anger was not burning enough, so she gently added it again.

"Yan'er, don't say it again......" Sun Ruoruo looked at the broken porcelain pieces all over the ground with some fear, pulled Bai Yi's arm, and shook his head lightly at her.

"Just because this king is your husband!"

"Then please, husband, where did you come from, where are you going!"

The two argued, the maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the back room were afraid and hid outside the door, and Sun Ruoruo also stood in the corner with a weak heart.

"Mu Xi, arrange it, don't let the princess out of the palace in the future! Don't let her meet Mei Zixin again! ”

"Hmph, if you don't come out, you won't come out, who is rare!"

After Bai Yiyan finished speaking, he went out of the door first, and went to the side room without looking back.

Seeing this, Mei Changqing smashed the round table with one palm.

The minions outside the door were trembling, and they didn't dare to say a word.

Sun Ruoruo stood in the corner in a daze, not knowing whether to comfort Bai Yiyan or whether he should continue to stay here and bear Mei Changqing's anger.

Mei Changqing glanced at her with a cold look in his eyes, and left Tingyuxuan with Mu Xi.

After he left, the people who listened to Yuxuan were relieved, otherwise with such a Hades here, none of them would be able to do things with peace of mind.

"Concubine Niangniang, what can I do about this, will the prince be angry with you?" Ruri asked worriedly.

Sun Ruoruo, who was depressed, glanced at her back to her senses, and told her to clean up the things in the hall, especially the things that were broken by Mei Changqing, and asked the tortoiseshell to inform Mama Zhao to go to the treasury to buy some items.

The next day, Mei Zixin sent a letter in again, and Bai Yiyan guessed that Mei Changqing only spoke yesterday, and those guards would definitely not let her out today.

So she thought of the old way in the Prime Minister's Mansion again, she first asked Sun Ruoruo to accompany her to the back garden, and then pretended to have a stomachache, ran to the base of the wall of the desolate courtyard at the back door, and was about to climb over the wall.

But I was surprised to find that there is a dog hole here, God help me!

Save her from climbing the wall and being heard, so it's better to drill the dog hole directly, which saves a lot of trouble.

She doesn't think that fame, fortune and shame are more important than her freedom, she is in a difficult situation now, but she must fight Mei Changqing to the end.

Then Bai Yiyan got out of the dog hole while everyone was on guard.

After successfully escaping the palace, she picked up the stones by the side of the road and threw them at the ornate carriage at the back door.

Mei Zixin's little hand lifted the curtain of the carriage, poked her head out of the carriage, and looked curiously.

Bai Yiyan didn't dare to make a big move, after all, she was still within the scope of the palace, and she was afraid of attracting the attention of the guards. Behind the stone lion standing on the side, he kept whistling and making codes.

Mei Zixin didn't know who it was and had been harassing him, so he had to stick his head out and shout squeamishly: "Which slave is so bold and dares to attack the carriage of this prince!" ”

was shouted by Mei Zixin, and the attention of those guards was focused on him, which made Bai Yiyan even more afraid to act rashly.

Bai Yiyan had no choice but to hold her forehead, she really couldn't stand this stupid child, now it's okay, so what should she do.

I still had no choice but to tear a piece of cloth from my skirt, wrap it in a stone, and throw it into his carriage.

This time, Mei Zixin could be regarded as clearly seeing which direction he was coming from, he looked at the stone in his hand again, the cloth wrapped in it was very familiar, and after a little thought, he knew that this was a signal from Bai Yiyan.

Didn't the royal brother stop my sister again?

It must be the ghost of the royal brother again!

Mei Zixin decided that it was Bai Yiyan who was obstructed again, so she asked the little eunuch who was driving to go in the direction he pointed.

Immediately afterwards, the two successfully met and made an appointment to hang out in the capital for a day.

When Mei Changqing learned that Bai Yiqian was going out of the dog hole, he felt that Mei Zixin was not a good thing, and he came to fool Bai Yiyan every day. Pity this little woman, who was deceived by him, and ignored his warnings.

It's really a shame for him!

Sun Ruoruo saw that Mei Changqing was so troubled, and intended to help Bai Yiyan explain.

In order to hold Mei Changqing back, she listened to Bai Yiyan's arrangement, agreed to the tortoiseshell's suggestion, and took the decoction to replenish Mei Changqing's body.

Use this as an excuse to let Mei Changqing temporarily forget about Bai Yiyan. By the time he remembered it, Bai Yiyan must have escaped from the house.

"Why are you messing around with her!" Mei Changqing already knew the truth about coming here, and his face softened slightly.

Sun Ruoruo wondered about his transformation, sat on the chair on the side, and answered his words seriously.

"The princess likes him very much, but in fact, it's just the kind of liking for children, and the prince doesn't have to mind so much." Sun Ruoruo hesitated for a while, but still endured the fear in his heart and said it all.

Mei Changqing's eyes were sharp, and she could see it, but he would never admit that he was jealous.

So Mei Changqing snorted coldly and ridiculed her: "Shouldn't you be very happy, if the princess is punished by the king, won't you have a chance to take the throne?" ”

"The concubine doesn't dare!" Sun Ruoruo didn't know why Mei Changqing misunderstood what she meant, so she hurriedly jumped up from the chair and knelt on the ground.

"Hmph, you still dare to help the princess escape, what else don't you dare! I'm afraid you'll never be able to come back! Mei Changqing's words were indifferent, but extremely vicious.

"The concubine doesn't mean this, please don't misinterpret the meaning of the concubine." Sun Ruoruo felt aggrieved, bit her lower lip, and said with difficulty.

"Okay, there is no need to say it anymore, with your hypocritical posture, only the innocent and kind Yan'er will believe you. In my place, you don't have to deliberately behave, this king looks disgusting! ”

"Yes, the concubine is retired!" Sun Ruoruo walked out of the study with tears in her eyes and returned to Tingyuxuan.

Sun Ruoruo was really provoked by Mei Changqing this time, how could he be so insulting! Just because he doesn't love her, he became like this, hurting others casually and ruining other people's sincerity! It's so hateful, why should she suffer such humiliation, she is so good to Bai Yi, this man can't see it at all.

She thought that as long as she curried favor with Bai Yiyan and could live a more comfortable life in the house, who knew that it would get worse!

Sun Ruoruo's feelings towards Bai Yiyan at this time were extremely complicated, and she didn't know where she should go.

……

Bai Yiyan and Mei Zixin came to the first brothel in the capital, and Mei Zixin took the entire building to serve only the two of them.

In the courtyard of the pear orchard, Bai Yiyan saw many singers and dancers, with beautiful dancing postures and gorgeous appearances.

"Most of the singers and dancers that Princess Shengyang is in charge of the palace teaching department and trained are selected from here." Just after singing a song downstairs, Mei Zixin applauded and introduced Bai Yiyan.

"Princess Shengyang?" Bai Yiyan thought of the little girl carved in ice at the family banquet that day, naughty and frolicking, quirky and frightening.

"She is better than me, she has a good mother, she can have her own princess mansion at the age of eight, and she can move out of the palace." Mei Zixin's tone was flat, and she couldn't hear her joy or anger.

But Bai Yiyan knew that he must be sad, and heard Mei Changqing say that he was eighteen years old this year, and he had been living in Concubine Lian's palace.

Several of their princes built a mansion and left the palace at the age of sixteen, and the prince got married at the age of sixteen, and Mei Zixin was already eighteen years old, and the emperor still has no intention of moving him out of the palace, and even the wedding candidate Concubine Lianniang is undecided.

After all, in his situation, no girl from any family is willing to marry him.

"She would have no trouble getting what she wanted, and even if she didn't want it, her queen mother would do everything she could to stuff all the good things into her house. Wherever you are like me, you have to fight for everything yourself, and in the end you won't get anything. Mei Zixin shook her head and smiled bitterly, no longer pretending to be a child or pretending to be innocent, but she was really pitiful.

"Don't be sad, what family doesn't have parents to take care of children who grow up, you have to relax, don't care too much about whether they care about who they love whom." Bai Yiyan thought about it, but he still didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only talk about it with his own experience.

"But if I don't fight or grab, I really don't have any relatives, and I don't have anyone to rely on. You also know that I am like this, and there is no way out in the future. ”

"How come, you still have me, I will be your relative in the future. I will not leave you behind in the future, I am a person you can rely on, please believe me! ”

Bai Yiyan held Mei Zixin's little hand, his eyes were sincere, he came to this world, for the first time, there was a person who made her want to protect for the rest of her life, and she naturally indulged in the overflow of her mother's love.

"Really?" Mei Zixin didn't expect Bai Yiyan to say such a thing, obviously he approached her with ulterior motives, but he was unconsciously deeply attracted by her.

"Of course it's true, words count, let's pull the hook!"

Mei Zixin learned that she stretched out her little thumb, and Bai Yiyan hooked over and shouted the slogan and stamped.

"Okay, you'll be my brother from now on!"

"You woman, you know that I am older than you, and you still let me be your brother, what is your intention!" Mei Zixin pretended not to be convinced.

"Of course, I want to cherish you more and love you in the future!" Bai Yiyan looked at him dotingly.

Mei Zixin was a little more sincere to Bai Yiyan because of this conversation, and unconsciously confessed to her: "Actually, I'm not interested in the throne." ”

"What?" Bai Yiyan hadn't reacted yet, why did their topic suddenly jump to inheriting the throne?

"It was not wrong for me to please my father at the beginning, but I didn't know that this medicine was poisonous at the time, and I was still young at that time, and I still had admiration for the prince, so I listened to his words and took the pill."

"What, since it's the prince's lewd man!" Bai Yi's mouth was unobstructed, which made Mei Zixin cry and laugh.

"For a long time after that, I thought it was caused by the Sixth Emperor Brother, which is now His Royal Highness King Jing, and I have been taking revenge on him and fighting with him, until a few days ago, at the family banquet, I heard the prince tell the truth of the matter before I fell into the water......" Mei Zixin couldn't cry when she said this.
