Chapter 184: The Scheming Man
The woman and Duan Jingqi were very close, and they were even closer than ordinary maidservants, but they didn't look like maids or anything like that.
Even Tang Meng was stunned in place, Duan Jingqi didn't realize what was going on, he only knew that Li Ziyan's face had dropped to a low point in an instant, his eyes were full of shock and loss, Duan Jingqi's heart suddenly tightened, "Miss Yan? ”
She hurriedly put away the stiff smile that was still hanging on her face, her eyes gradually turned red, and she turned her head to salute Tang Meng in a panic, "Yan'er came in a hurry today and forgot that there was something at home to go back earlier, so I said goodbye to my sister." ”
Tang Meng and Duan Jingqi were both startled when they heard this, Tang Meng hurriedly grabbed her arm, "My sister has just arrived, if there is something in your family, I will send a few people to help in a while," Tang Meng said that Tang Meng gave Duan Jingqi a look, and the latter was nervous and quickly spoke, and his mouth became even more flustered.
"But this king ran into the girl? Please also ask the girl to forgive her sins, it is better to ...... Shall I go first? ”
Tang Meng slapped him, what was this talking about, she glanced behind Duan Jingqi, Duan Jingqi realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to see that there was a woman standing very close to him.
Duan Jingqi was startled without a little psychological defense, and jumped directly to Tang Meng's side at once, "Why are you standing behind me!" ”
The woman immediately put on a pitiful look, she fell at Duan Jingqi's feet, tears came very quickly, and as soon as she raised her head, she involuntarily gave birth to a feeling of distress.
"It was the prince who brought the folk girl in, and the folk girl was still afraid, so she had to follow the prince carefully, I ...... I didn't mean to," he said, and cried softly under his veil.
As soon as Duan Jingqi saw that her head was big, he couldn't argue with Tang Meng and Li Ziyan's reactions, they must have misunderstood.
Duan Jingqi hurriedly took a step back behind Tang Meng and made a stand away from the girl, "Sister-in-law, this is really a misunderstanding, I met her at the gate of King Yi's mansion, this girl said what came to interview me and asked her to come in with me, I don't know her!" ”
Duan Jingqi said this to Tang Meng, but his eyes never left Li Ziyan's face for a moment, and he was flustered for fear that she would misunderstand.
After saying this, the people in the room were a little shocked, these two people didn't know each other? And the woman kneeling on the ground only cared about pretending to be pitiful, and the rest did not say a word.
Tang Meng took a look, and immediately understood that this woman happened to meet Duan Jingqi and wanted to use the topic to try to get his attention, isn't this a proper ancient version of a scheming?
This is said to be recruiting capable people in the restaurant, but if they are all people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to take the position, wouldn't it completely go against the original intention, and this matter cannot be tolerated.
Tang Meng said coldly to the woman, "Do you know that he is the prince?" ”
"The people's daughter knows that it was the prince who brought the people's daughter in."
"Do you know that you dare to get so close to the prince, but you have bad intentions? Could it be that no one has ever taught you to avoid the difference between men and women in the royal family! ”
The girl was still pretending to be pitiful just now, and when she heard this, she immediately raised her head in fright, "The folk girl doesn't have a bad heart, she followed the prince because she was afraid, afraid...... I'm afraid that when I first entered the palace, I didn't understand the rules and bumped into the nobles, so the prince saved me! ”
Tang Meng sneered, "You don't understand the rules, but you can recognize which one is a nobleman, and our Prince Qi is also a scheming person like you who is trying to cling to it?" Someone! ”
Xing'er came out of the queue and responded, "The slave is here!" ”
"This girl is unruly in my palace, you can help me teach her how to get along with people."
"Yes!" After Xing'er responded, she immediately called the soldiers to put people in the courtyard, and then called the two grandmothers, "Did you hear what Niangniang said?" Fifty slap mouths! ”
The two grandmothers responded, and after a while, there was a crisp slap and the woman's screams in the courtyard.
At this time, Li Ziyan's face could be regarded as returning to normal, and when she saw Duan Jingqi bring this woman here, her heart was really cold, and her first reaction in her heart was not to lose him and have a new love, but to feel that she was taking humiliation on herself when she came to the door, so she couldn't wait to leave this place immediately and never want to see him again.
But now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, Li Ziyan felt that his reaction was really a bit excessive, as if he was not telling himself about his feelings for Duan Jingqi.
So before she could raise her head, her face was half red.
Duan Jingqi saw that her anger had subsided, and he was ashamed to say this, he was originally a person who practiced martial arts since childhood, and should have been vigilant about everything around him at all times, let alone sticking it so close, but just then he panicked and wanted to see Li Ziyan as soon as possible, so he didn't notice the abnormality behind him at all.
can sweep away Weng and lose his horse, he now completely understands Li Ziyan's intentions in his heart, and it can be regarded as a good thing.
Li Ziyan couldn't help but raise her eyes and look secretly when she saw that there had been no movement in the room for a long time, but she met Duan Jingqi's blazing gaze in mid-air, she quickly withdrew her gaze as if she was burned, but she still caught a glimpse of the corners of his mouth that rose unconsciously, and since then Li Ziyan's face has turned red.
Tang Meng's heart immediately blossomed when she saw this, she quietly called Xing'er, asked her to ask someone to clean up the woman in the courtyard, and then she quietly withdrew from the room with the maids, and only Duan Jingqi and Li Ziyan were left in the whole house.
The two of them sat and stood, smiling and shy, dressed up carefully, and the subtle atmosphere made people can't help but want to raise the corners of their lips.
Duan Jingqi broke the silence first, pointed to a stool in front of him and spoke, "Can this king sit here?" ”
Li Ziyan nodded, and the handkerchief in his hand was squeezed tighter.
Duan Jingqi pulled the stool to her side a little farther away, "Sister-in-law said that she made a new dish today and asked me to try it, Miss Yan will stay here today and finish lunch before leaving, the weather has been getting cold recently, can I send you back later?" ”
Only then did she speak softly, "I have promised my sister to stay here, but it is still inappropriate for you to send me back, so I won't bother the prince," after speaking, she pursed her lips again and said, "I just misunderstood the prince, I really lost and I hope I don't want to laugh." ”
The corners of Duan Jingqi's mouth were about to grin to the back of his head, "How come, if I see a man behind you, I'm afraid I will be even more jealous." ”
Hearing the word jealousy, Li Ziyan was shocked in her heart, and the flush had unconsciously spread to the tips of her ears, but her eyes were shining but she didn't refute it.
Seeing this, Duan Jingqi simply had the audacity to pretend to pour tea and get closer to her, he held the teapot in one hand and the teacup in the other, and his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
He subconsciously coughed before he spoke softly, "Actually, I'm quite happy to see that you were angry just now," the room was quiet, "The first time I saw you, it was a rainy day, and you were half covered in mud on the muddy path on the outskirts of the city, but your eyes were clear and stubborn and the gentleness I saw later, and you ran towards me step by step, and then I felt that this girl had a strength that others did not have." ”
