It is not easy to make Zhou Shili defect to the prince. After thinking about it, Meng Xilan only thought of one way, and that was to use herself as bait.

Meng Xilan didn't want to fight so big, but when she saw Zhou Shi's attitude towards her yesterday, she couldn't help but calculate in her heart. Now that you have entered the palace, since you have stepped into this troubled water, what else is there to scruple about.

Zhu Lu looked at the master's flickering eyes, and was slightly startled.

"Master, good and dignified, why did you ask about the prince of the county."

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Zhulu, the next person I want to do is King Zhou Jun." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Lu didn't understand what she heard, stiffened her body and said, "Master, why are you doing this?" ”

Zhou Shili and the Meng family have no grievances, and they have never offended their master, why should the master treat him......

Meng Xilan said quietly: "I have my own reason. ”

There is no way to explain the cause and effect, she can only inform them,

Zhulu pondered for a moment before she spoke: "The slave and maid understand that the master only has to do what the master wants, and the slaves and maids will do their best to help you and protect you." ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, a little smile appeared on her face: "With you here, I am very relieved." ”

Now, Zhou Shili has to go to Mingde Palace every day, and it is not difficult for Meng Xilan to see him, but since he is fishing for big fish with a long line, the number of meetings cannot be too frequent, otherwise, it seems deliberate.

Late at night, Zhou Shili returned to his county palace, and all that lingered in his mind were Meng Xilan's eyebrows and eyes, and the tip of his nose was full of the scent of sandalwood on Meng Xilan's body.

The maid brought him tea, but he didn't drink it, but only held it in a daze.

Seeing this, the maid couldn't help but snicker and reminded her: "Lord Wang, the tea is going to be cold." ”

Zhou Shili came back to his senses, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Are there any guests at home today?" ”

"Back to the prince, the sixth master in the palace asked someone to bring some things, saying that it was to honor the prince." The maid spoke crisply.

Zhou Youwen sent a lot of gadgets, Zhou Shili swept his eyes coldly, they were all new gadgets, it can be seen that Zhou Youwen is a person who can play.

Zhou Shili frowned thoughtfully, thought for a while, and then took a bath and changed clothes. Although he rested early, he couldn't fall asleep all the time.

Early the next morning, Zhou Shili went to the prince to discuss matters as usual, and after the morning dynasty went down, he did not leave the palace, but went to the East Fourth Institute.

Zhou Youwen was very surprised when he saw him coming, and he was busy preparing the best tea and the best fruit for the people around him.

Ruizhu is now serving in front of Zhou Youwen, and when he saw Zhou Shili, he could recognize who he was, so he secretly remembered it in his heart.

Zhou Shili used the tea and said: "Yesterday, the sixth master ordered someone to send a lot of things, which was really expensive. ”

Zhou Youwen smiled: "It's good if Uncle Cousin doesn't dislike it, although it's not a precious thing, but it's all gadgets that are hard to find in the capital." ”

Zhou Shili asked with a stitch: "Does the sixth master know many people in the capital?" ”

"Uncle Cousin, don't make fun of me, I'm just playful." Zhou Youwen doesn't have any serious friends in the capital, most of them are gentlemen, and they can't be on the stage.

"The sixth master has his own ability. Come to think of it, the sixth master didn't collect any good things for the fourth master. Zhou Shili deliberately mentioned Zhou Youlin.

Zhou Youwen didn't know if he was testing himself, so he simply told the truth: "Uncle Cousin, you don't know that my fourth master is a boring person, nothing is good, nothing is liked, just for the good name of that humble gentleman, self-cultivation, pretending to be deep." ”

Zhou Shili smiled meaningfully when he heard this: "How come? The fourth master is obviously a very vassal and elegant person, how can he be boring? ”

Zhou Youwen showed a cold smile: "He's not just boring, he's an ascetic who cultivates at all." ”

He deliberately made a joke, and he was not very willing to mention the past. After all, he and the fourth brother had a stalemate.

Fakirs...... Zhou Shili carefully played with these three words in his heart, and seemed to have some associations.

"Uncle Cousin, did you speak for me over there, the prince?"

Zhou Shili nodded and said, "Of course." ”

Zhou Youwen was overjoyed when he heard this: "This is very good." ”

There is no fourth brother, there is also the prince, and no matter how bad it is, there is a mediocre third brother. He'll always find someone to help him.

Out of the East Fourth Institute, Zhou Shili deliberately wandered around the palace for a while, he originally wanted to go to Cining Palace, but the Queen Mother was not there at this time, and he had no proper reason.

However, his mind turned quickly, and he soon remembered that a while ago, he had a few Shu embroideries in his house, all of which were of the highest quality. He originally wanted to keep it, and when the Queen Mother had her birthday, he would send it to the old man as a birthday gift. But now, there is only one person he thinks about in his heart, Meng Xilan.

Zhou Shili sent Shu embroidery to Cining Palace as a gift, and by the way, he also had a reason to visit Meng Xilan.

Meng Xilan pinched her hands to count the days, but it was only three days, and she couldn't hold her breath.

She asked Zhulu to set up refreshments in the gazebo and invited Zhou Shili alone.

Meng Xilan looked at those embroidery products and praised them again and again: "The treasure of Shu is really worthy of its name, it is really beautiful." ”

Zhou Shili smiled slightly: "It's good if the princess likes it." ”

Meng Xilan handed the things back to Zhu Lu and returned them to him: "However, it is useless. How can I easily accept such a big gift from you, Lord Jun......"

Zhou Shili waved his hand again and again: "Good products for beauties, this is what your girl's family likes." Wouldn't it be a shame to stay with me. ”

Meng Xilan suddenly lowered her head and smiled when she heard this, "The prince said that he laughed, you are so suave, how can you not be accompanied by beautiful women?" ”

Zhou Shili's eyes froze, and he said in a somewhat serious tone: "This king has not yet married a wife, how can he be accompanied by any beautiful woman?" Every day is just a lonely life. ”

Hehe...... Meng Xilan secretly sneered when she heard this, but she still kept a smile on her face: "Why does the prince bother to wronged himself like this? ”

Zhou Shili glanced at her meaningfully and said, "If it's just to ask for a companion, it's really not difficult." But if you want to ask for a sincere person, it is indeed very difficult. ”

"Oh? So for the prince, what is a true person? ”

"Single-minded, never abandoned." Zhou Shili slowly spit out eight words.

When Meng Xilan heard this, her hands unconsciously clenched the silk handkerchief, and a heart-rending pain surged out from the deepest part of her body.

She had heard him say this in person...... When she rebelled against the whole family just to be with him, he also used to say this eight words. But in the end, it was just a lie.

Zhou Shili couldn't cure her thoughts, but when he saw her looking at herself fixedly, he smiled heartily: "Princess, what's wrong?" ”

Meng Xilan lowered her head and stroked the hem of her skirt, pretending to be okay and said: "It's nothing, I just think that the prince of the county is really a dedicated person, which is really rare." ”

Because of the identities of the two, Zhou Shili shouldn't have said these words to her, but somehow as soon as he saw her, the firm attitude in his heart began to sway from side to side.

Meng Xilan looked at Zhulu and said, "Give me the embroidery sent by the prince of the county to keep it." After speaking, she looked back at Zhou Shili and smiled sweetly: "I received such a good gift from the prince of the county today, how can I thank you?" ”

"Don't be polite, princess, just accept it with peace of mind." Zhou Shili was talking, but saw Meng Xilan take out a water-blue handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to Zhu Qing and said: "This is my own embroidery, although it is not as delicate as Shu embroidery, but it is from my heart, if the prince of the county does not like it......"

She deliberately said half hidden and half hidden, revealing a little bit of a little woman's shyness, and blushing slightly.

Zhou Shili was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly took the handkerchief handed by Zhuqing with both hands, and looked down carefully.

There is an orchid embroidered on the handkerchief, which is simple and elegant, and there is a little sandalwood on it, which is quiet and reverie. The best thing is that the handkerchief is also embroidered with the word "Li", as if it was tailor-made for Zhou Shili, which belongs to him.

Seeing this, even if Zhou Shili didn't want to think about it, he couldn't help but get up, and he was distracted for a moment before he looked up at Meng Xilan with a smile on his face, and slowly spoke, "Thank you, princess." ”

Meng Xilan still had a red face, and looked at him with a full gaze: "It was originally a gadget that I embroidered and played with myself, so it's good that the prince of the county doesn't dislike it." ”

Zhou Shili stood up a little excitedly: "How can I dislike it? I'm happy. ”

This handkerchief was embroidered by her own hand, and his name was on it, and the meaning of it did not need to be thought about, but it was also affectionate. How does he not like it, how does he not like it? It's just that...... He never expected that Meng Xilan, who had always been close to him, would still have such secret thoughts about him.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Zhou Shili didn't care about suspecting anything for a while, and only put away the handkerchief carefully.

When he returned to the mansion, he took it out again and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but chuckle: "What prince is he, what is the son of a general...... It's a pity that in the heart of that beautiful woman, the most favorite person is my Zhou Shili. ”

He put the handkerchief on the tip of his nose, sniffed the fragrance on it gently, and remembered Meng Xilan's shy smile, and his heart was hot.

However, at this moment, Meng Xilan in Cining Palace was laughing softly.

She laughed for a while before she looked at Zhu Lu and said, "Your craftsmanship is really wonderful." After only one night's work, the handkerchief was embroidered. ”

It turned out that the handkerchief was not embroidered by Meng Xilan herself at all, she just told Zhulu to find a pattern, embroider a ready-made one, and then take it to make a look.

"Of course the slave and maid must sit down for what the master commands." Seeing her smiling so happily, Zhu Lu didn't feel the corners of her lips pursed.

Meng Xilan shook the silk fan in her hand and said softly: "Zhou Shili must be taking it seriously, I'm afraid it's rare to hold it in his hand." ”

Gao Fuli looked at his master and asked in a low voice: "Master, there are many ways for you to win over the prince of the county, why do you have to use this trick?" ”

Meng Xilan put away her smile: "It's not all about winning him over, Zhou Shili is a scheming person, but he is also a man, I just used the simplest method." ”

How could she really like Zhou Shili, but it just made him have this illusion. Let him mistakenly think that he is interested in him, and then he can set up a formation and wait to see him make a fool of himself!

Gao Fufu nodded, understood in his heart, and said, "However, the slave is worried that there will be gossip in the palace." ”

Meng Xilan shook her fan and leaned back: "It's just a handkerchief, it can't be passed out or anything." Taking 10,000 steps back, my embroidery is far less powerful than Zhulu, and if something happens later, I just take out something to compare, and I know that it is not my thing. Since it's not mine, what Zhou Shili says, even if it bites me back, we have nothing to be afraid of. ”

In her previous life, she mistrusted him, and in this life she wants him to believe in others like him, so that he can taste this heart-wrenching feeling of being betrayed and calculated by his beloved.
