Chapter 56: Already an Outcast
When He Mengxi knew the news, it was already a day later, sixteen-year-old Wei Wang Siming, she had not seen it, she only heard Ling Zixu say.
"The young hero of the five princes is the most promising one among these princes, he has been on the battlefield, has won military exploits, is handsome and chic, he is definitely one in a million, just ......"
"Just what?"
"His mother died early, and the concubine who raised him was not favored."
"So, no one in the palace speaks for him, right?" He Mengxi's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"This is already the best result, in this way, it also breaks the covetous heart of Lu Wang Sijue for you, as long as it is not him, everything still has room to turn around."
"Round?" He Mengxi sneered.
She sat on a beauty couch, wearing a luxurious dress woven of Shu brocade, a lazy beauty bun, with beads and emeralds, delicate and smart, slender jade fingers, holding a fan, her posture was delicate, but her expression was vague.
"I'm already an abandoned son of Chen Guo, does the prince think I'm still useful?"
The sentence He Mengxi asked made Ling Zixu stunned.
"I didn't treat you like a pawn." Ling Zixu blurted out.
He Mengxi's smile was even colder: "You don't have to comfort me,...... Whether it's Chen Meiyu or a princess who is kind, it doesn't matter to me! ”
"Princess, what do you want, you say, I will help you." Ling Zixu said.
He Mengxi shook his head: "You? Forget it, I can't live in the palace for a long time, sooner or later I have to move out, just ask you to keep it a secret for me and not be my enemy, and I will thank God. ”
"Heaven and earth conscience, I just want to help you, how can I be your enemy?" Ling Zixu's face was incredible.
"Lord Wang, will you help people for no reason, I can't afford the price you want!"
He Mengxi's eyes swept over leisurely, making Ling Zixu stunned again, her mind flashed the charming appearance that she used to only wear underwear, her heart throbbed, she suddenly stood up, and got up without warning and left with her sleeves brushed.
He Mengxi leaned on the couch, didn't move, the corners of her mouth tugged, and at this time, Qingmei came in.
"What's wrong with the prince, why did you leave in such a hurry?"
He Mengxi waved his hand: "What's the matter, he's in a hurry?" I'm still in a hurry, what's the matter, it's been calm in the palace these days, right? ”
"Back to the princess, it seems that there is nothing to do at present, the princess has not come back, Dong Yirui, the only one who has some rights, does not dare to act rashly because of the pressure of the prince, and the other women are all closed, pretending to be deaf and dumb."
"What about the Wind City Wind Path Chief, how is he now?" He Mengxi asked.
"The injury of the head of the wind duct has been greatly healed, I heard that I went to a Taoist temple a few days ago, and I just came back yesterday, and the armor of the palace is not so strict, and it is still a little loose, and there are a few soldiers in the palace who ask for leave, Wei Feng is on track one by one, saying that the night duty is also going to be canceled, and it will be replaced by a shift system."
"You have done a good job, since we met, I have never treated you as a slave, you protect my whip, I will treat you as my own sister, I used to be a prisoner, although now I am a princess, I am just a pawn in the hands of others, so, if I want to stand in the world, I need your help." He Mengxi sat up, his expression suddenly cold.
"Don't worry, the princess, Qingmei is duty-bound, for the princess, go to the soup and go to the fire!" Qingmei swears.
He Mengxi nodded: "Spring, summer, autumn and winter, do you understand their family backgrounds clearly?" ”
"Back to the princess, I understand clearly, I have already used gold and silver, they are grateful to the princess, and they all say that they will swear allegiance to the princess!"
He Mengxi didn't have joy on his face, he lay down again, leaned on the couch, and sighed softly: "Money is really a good thing!" ”
"It's just that this time it cost a lot of money, and those rewards are basically spent, and they will ...... later."
"yes, what's next,...... To-morrow I will ask them for money. ”
The person He Mengxi was looking for was Chen Qi, the envoy of Chen Guo.
Hearing that the princess was going to see him, Chen Qi scoffed, but Chen Che was quite excited.
Chen Qi said: "What are you excited about, it's been so long, she finally wants to see us?" You look at his appearance in the court of Shu Kingdom, he basically ignores you and me, as if he doesn't know us, I'm afraid, she doesn't even know who you are! ”
"How is it possible, we've known each other since childhood, I used to be her playmate, how could she not remember me?" Chen Che argued.
Chen Qi sneered: "Hmph, we all had to leave her before we thought of meeting, it's strange to remember you!" ”
The two fought all the way to the Pingnan Palace, and it was Wei Feng who came out to greet them, leading them into the palace.
In the living room of the palace, He Mengxi was sitting precariously, and behind him stood Qingmei and several maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Ling Zixu stood under the corridor of the hall and welcomed the envoy of Shu into the door.
The envoys of a country represent the emperor of a country, so Ling Zixu can't overstate how warm he is.
Chen Qi and Chen Che paid homage to He Mengxi together, and then Ling Zixu sat down with him.
Chen Qi opened his mouth first: "Your Royal Highness the princess, the matter of marriage has been negotiated, I will return to China soon, does the princess have any other instructions?" ”
"The two envoys have worked hard, there is indeed one thing, but it is just ......" He Mengxi wanted to speak and stopped.
"There's something wrong with the princess, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Chen Qidao.
"On that day, above the court of Shu Kingdom, the palace listened to what you meant,...... Intentionally...... Buying a home? ”
"Oh, yes, but the Emperor of Shu has already arranged a place for His Highness, and His Highness must be married soon, so there is no need for this." Chen Qi replied with a smile.
"It's really not necessary, it's good for the palace to live in the palace now, but I want to come...... You came this time, and the silver you brought was enough to buy a house, since you can't use it, can you ......" He Mengxi said hesitantly.
Ling Zixu was confused when she heard it, and Chen Qi felt even more inexplicable, not knowing what she was going to say.
"Is the princess short of silver?" Chen Che said suddenly.
He Mengxi smiled and did not speak.
Chen Qi and Chen Che glanced at each other.
Ling Zixu exclaimed: "Princess......"
"Lord Wang, this is Chen Guo's business, it's better for you not to speak!" He Mengxi glanced at him lightly.
Ling Zixu was speechless and stunned.
Chen Qi suddenly stood up and bowed his hand: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, it's not Chen Qi who made the time, it's just that what the princess did, Chen Qi, as an envoy, wants to say it bluntly!" ”
"Oh? What do you want to say? He Mengxi's expression was slightly cold.
"This time I came, it is the new emperor for the princess to plan for a long time, not to say that he tried his best, but what about you, princess, I can't see a trace of sadness for the death of the old emperor, I haven't heard a word of congratulations from His Royal Highness on the new emperor's accession to the throne, and even now we are going back, do you not even bring a word to the new emperor, and even ask for money?"
