After going back, Meng Xilan heard Mama Kong talk about it and realized that the reason why Prince Rong and Princess Xu entered the palace today was to send Zhou Li'er to the Queen Mother.

Meng Xilan understood halfway through it. Zhou Lier deliberately came to compete for favor this time.

Mama Kong knew that there was a festival between the two, and she wanted to be a peacemaker to persuade her.

Meng Xilan listened, shook her head and smiled: "Mama doesn't need to persuade me, the person you should persuade is the county lord of Anning." Then, she sighed meaningfully: "Mama doesn't know, just now, the county lord was eager to try to skin me alive." ”

Mama Kong's face stiffened when she heard this. "What do you say, girl?"

Meng Xilan felt that she was deliberately pretending to be confused with herself, so she simply made a long story short: "I won't say much about the specific situation." I can figure out my identity, so naturally I won't take the initiative to fight with her for anything, but this matter may not be the master of me alone. You are an old man in the palace, and you should know better than me about the temperament of the county lord. So in the future, please help me pay more attention to me and take care of me. ”

Mama Kong's expression became serious: "Girl, don't think too much, the county lord is just a child's temper, although he is willful, but it is harmless." ”

Meng Xilan tapped her eyebrows lightly and sneered, "I hope so." ”

Mama Kong saw that her mood was not going well today, and she didn't say more, and after serving her to go to the clean room to wash, she hurriedly retreated.

Zhulu took the initiative to stay vigil, and after seeing Meng Xilan lying down, she was next to her bedside and whispered: "Miss, starting from Ming'er, your diet and daily life, slaves and maids will all take care of it, and you will never let others touch your hands." ”

Meng Xilan turned over, faced her and asked, "Do you really think you have three heads and six arms?" How can you take care of it alone? ”

Zhu Lu responded: "Isn't there still Zhu Qing." ”

"It's not enough to count her, there are so many pairs of eyes and so many hands in the palace, it can't be guarded against at all."

Zhulu stood up as if she had made up her mind: "The slave maid has her own way to keep the young lady safe and sound, and not be plotted by others." ”

The next day, counting from the first sip of water that Meng Xilan drank, Zhulu would take the silver needle to check it one by one, and if it was food, she would take the initiative to taste it first, and after making sure that it was non-toxic, she would serve it to Meng Xilan.

This action surprised the people in the house, those little palace maids who were in charge of serving tea and pouring water were almost all sent outside by Zhulu to do chores, and no one could get close to Meng Xilan.

Seeing this, Mama Kong felt that she was making a fuss. But seeing that Meng Xilan acquiesced to such a change, she had no reason to oppose it.

Living with such care is a test for all.

An extra table was added to the study room for class, which was prepared for Zhou Li'er. Now that she has entered the palace, she naturally wants to go to morning class with Zhou Youning.

Because it was the first day, Mrs. Sun took care of Zhou Li'er and only assigned some simple homework.

Zhou Lier doesn't like to read, so she barely pretends to be today.

After an hour's morning class, Zhou Li'er deliberately blocked Zhou Youning and Meng Xilan's way, saying that she had prepared some gifts for Zhou Youning.

Gift? Even a simple-minded person like Zhou Youning knew that she must be holding back some bad idea.

Seeing her frowning, Zhou Li'er hurriedly smiled: "Sister Princess, we are cousins in the end, why do you have to be like this with me." In any case, I am much better than those outsiders with bad intentions. In the past, it was me who was not good enough to be a sister, but in the future, let's get along well. ”

Zhou Youning turned his head to look at Meng Xilan, a little undecided.

Meng Xilan seemed to smile: "Since the county lord has some kindness, Her Royal Highness the princess might as well go over and take a look." ”

Zhou Youning nodded, "Sister Lan will go with me." ”

When Zhou Li'er heard this, she immediately spoke out to stop: "What did she do in the past?" It's just half a minion, and you don't get tired of sticking to you every day. ”

"Sister Lan, she's not a minion...... She's my friend. Zhou Youning objected to her.

Meng Xilan patted Zhou Youning's arm: "It's okay, the princess will go with the county lord." I just have some more things to do. ”

Zhou Li'er glanced at her: "Hmph, you are interested." ”

Zhou Youning obviously had something to say, but Meng Xilan gently pinched his palm, so he had to follow Zhou Li'er step by step, looking a little reluctant.

Meng Xilan smiled at her as if she was soothing, and watched them leave.

After a moment, Gao Fuli on the side couldn't help but say loudly: "Master, the slave has the courage to say a word." Don't you see that? Lord An Ning seems to want to drive a wedge between you and Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Meng Xilan didn't understand Zhou Li'er's intentions, and it seemed that she had to quickly think of a way to get her out of the palace. Fortunately, Zhou Lier's personality is naturally the master who can get into trouble, and with a little brain, she can think of a way.

"Little Lizi, help me inquire about something."

"Master, you command." Gao Fuli waited respectfully.

"Help me check, Prince Rong entered the palace a while ago and asked the emperor to make decisions about the marriage of the county lord of Anning, which family did he like?"

Thinking of what Zhou Shixian said that day, Meng Xilan secretly had a plan in her heart.

The recent frequent accidents have made Meng Xilan feel bottomless. So, it's better to inquire again.

Gao Fuli's eyes flashed slightly, and he nodded: "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Meng Xilan said again: "Try as soon as possible." ”

"Tomorrow at the latest, the minions will definitely find out."

……

On the other side, Zhou Li'er invited Zhou Youning to her bedroom and asked the maid to take out the gift she had carefully prepared.

Zhou Youning opened it and saw that it was a delicately made dressing mirror, the mirror was only the size of a palm, smooth and bright, and the handle was engraved with gorgeous patterns.

"This is a rarity brought by traders from the Western Regions. Can the princess sister like it? ”

Zhou Youning nodded: "It's very exquisite, it's beautiful." ”

Zhou Li'er smiled with satisfaction when she heard this: "I knew you would like it." ”

Zhou Youning said two words, and quickly put the mirror back in the box.

She doesn't like to be alone with Zhou Li'er and always feels uncomfortable.

Zhou Li'er sent the palace maid away, and deliberately lowered her voice and said: "At this time, there are only the two of us, my sister and I will say something considerate, okay?" She insisted on holding Zhou Youning's hand and pretending to be very kind.

Zhou Youning said "um" uncomfortably, which was regarded as a promise.

"Sister, I have to tell you one thing, Meng Xilan's girl is not credible, you are so good to her now, sooner or later you will regret it. She's been using you all along. ”

Zhou Youning raised his head in surprise and said puzzledly: "Sister Lan is my best friend. Is it because of what happened last time that you still hate her in your heart? ”

Zhou Li'er laughed disdainfully: "Hmph! She deserves to be remembered by me? I'm just sorry for you, sister. Sister princess, think about it carefully, since that Meng Xilan entered the palace, how much limelight and how much favor she has stolen from you in front of the imperial grandmother...... She is good to you, but for her own benefit. ”
