Chapter 184: Disguise

Zhou Shili was slightly stunned, his long eyebrows were slightly raised, and he was a little puzzled by Meng Xilan's sudden enthusiasm. It can be seen that she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, looking gentle and soft, but she couldn't say anything to refuse.

After careful calculation, Meng Xilan has been in the palace for a year, but the opportunities for the two to meet are very rare, and they are only a few faces, and they have never even said a few words. He hoped to see her more, but unfortunately, whenever he went to Cining Palace to ask for peace, the beautiful woman was always there.

To tell the truth, Zhou Shili has always cared about Meng Xilan, she is the queen mother's heart after the Meng family, she acts maverick and has her own way.

She first offended the county lord of Anning, then she did not hesitate to spare her life to assist Zhou Youlin, and then put her thoughts and energy on the Nine Emperor Princes. Going around like this, she seems to be doing some thankless stupid work, but Zhou Shili knows that she is an ambitious woman. It is definitely not a coincidence that whoever she puts her mind on will rise to power in the palace!

Meng Xilan sat in front of Zhou Shili with a heart on her mind, and she knew that he was looking at her...... She was stabbed, but her face was still calm.

In his previous life, Zhou Shili had mentioned to her more than once that when he first saw her, he already had feelings for her in his heart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it was love at first sight.

At that time, when she heard this, she always smiled and was shy, saying that he deliberately coaxed her. But Zhou Shili always raised his hand and swore that he would never lie, otherwise, the sky would thunder.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes and thought quietly, thinking about Zhou Shili at this moment, she might still have this kind of thought about herself in her heart, and she couldn't help but feel complicated, feeling both disgusted and excited.

Zhou Shili saw the beautiful woman opposite, and was silent for a long time, so he deliberately whispered: "It has been many years in the capital, and there has not been such a hot summer. ”

"Summer is hard, but it's also full of life." Meng Xilan put away her thoughts and began to greet him attentively.

Zhou Shili is not a boring person, he is very good at likable, whether it is a man or a woman, he can always find the right time to get closer to that person.

Tea and flowers, poems and songs, interesting stories in the market, no matter what he says, he can always pinch it and talk about the previous paragraph.

Listening to those familiar words, Meng Xilan's face showed a slight smile, looking as if she was moved by Zhou Shili's erudition and versatility, but in fact, she silently mocked his blind confidence in her heart.

If she is a simple-minded woman, at this time, she will definitely be moved by his humor and versatility, but in Meng Xilan's opinion, no matter how beautiful and beautiful words come out of his mouth, it can't hide the viciousness and indifference that emanates from his heart.

He understands everything when he looks at it, but in fact, he doesn't understand everything and doesn't delve into it.

Suddenly, Zhulu brought two little palace maids to bring iced sour plum soup and a few snacks.

Meng Xilan gave Zhu Lu a look, Zhu Lu only put the things on one by one, and then hurriedly took the palace maids to the shade outside the pavilion, lowered her eyes and waited.

Meng Xilan personally poured a bowl of sour plum soup for Zhou Shili, and then directly took out an ice cube from the ice box with his fingers and put it into his soup bowl.

"Put two ice cubes to make it taste better." Meng Xilan picked up another piece of ice and gently put it in.

Zhou Shili raised his eyes slightly, his gaze followed her fingertips, meandering all the way up, and finally landed on her calm face, his heart suddenly itched and hot, as if something was about to move, eager to break out of the cocoon. The flower-like face, the dark jade-like eyes, and the cherry-like mouth made his heart burn even more, as if he was not drinking sweet and sour plum soup, but a mellow and thick liquor, which made people's brains become unclear and a little chaotic.

In a hurry, he quickly looked away, for fear that his eyes would reveal his thoughts, and if she noticed it, wouldn't it be too reckless.

Meng Xilan slowly tasted the sour plum soup, vaguely aware of his small panic, raised her eyes and said with a smile: "This sour plum soup is made by my maid, using the old method of the family, does the county king still think it is delicious?" ”

Zhou Shili hurriedly smiled: "It's very delicious." When he said this, his eyes fell on Meng Xilan's lightly opened lips intentionally or unintentionally, and he suddenly felt a dry mouth, and hurriedly drank the sour plum soup in the bowl.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan intended to pour another bowl for him, but Zhou Shili stretched out his hand to cover the mouth of his bowl: "How dare you bother Your Highness, let's do it myself." ”

As he spoke, he took the teapot in Meng Xilan's hand with his other hand, and his fingertips touched her skin, causing her to shrink slightly.

The haze in Meng Xilan's eyes flashed, she still hated that he touched her, it felt as sharp and painful as being pricked by a needle. She secretly took a deep breath, controlled her emotions, and withdrew her hand shyly.

Zhou Shili saw it in his eyes and itched in his heart.

The two sat opposite each other, chatting happily, and Zhulu, who was a few steps away, heard the laughter of his master, and was surprised.

Odd...... Why is the master so happy today?

After a while, Meng Xilan slowly got up and prepared to leave.

Zhou Shili was reluctant for a while, and hurriedly got up and said, "Why don't you let me send the princess back to the palace." ”

As soon as he said this, he felt that he was a little reckless. Fortunately, Meng Xilan didn't seem to mind, and only nodded with a smile: "Then it will bother the county king." ”

Halfway through, Meng Xilan looked at the gravel path under her feet, and a thought suddenly flashed in her heart, a somewhat shameful thought.

After thinking about it, Meng Xilan's body had instinctively leaned forward and opened her mouth to exhale softly.

Zhou Shili was already watching her every move, and when he saw that her feet were unbalanced, he immediately grabbed her quickly, stretched out his long arms, and just hugged her waist.

Such a move provoked Zhu Lu behind him to be slightly startled, and he was about to step forward, but he saw Gao Fuli secretly wink, and he hesitated unconsciously for a moment.

The master did it on purpose just now, and Gao Welfare could see it clearly.

Meng Xilan's heart tightened into a ball, but her body was as soft as cotton, she snuggled up to Zhou Shili's body, deliberately stood still for a moment, and then hurriedly stood up: "I'm sorry, I just slipped under my feet." ”

It was the first time in her life that she had done such a thing, and although it was too deliberate, it was very useful. Between men and women, it is the simplest seduction, but it is the most effective.

Zhou Shili stood up with his hands on her hands, and the tip of his nose gently smelled the scent of sandalwood coming from her, and he couldn't help but feel a little more anxious.

"Your Highness, be careful."

Meng Xilan slowly stood up, stroked her skirt, and smiled at him and thanked him.

Zhou Shili pursed his lips to look at her face, his eyes were black and shining, revealing some indescribable brilliance.

Meng Xilan pretended not to see it, turned around and summoned Zhulu, and helped her hand all the way back to Cining Palace.

After she walked away, Zhou Shili was in a trance alone for a while before turning around and leaving.

After returning to the room, Meng Xilan's smiling face instantly became gloomy, and she turned around and ordered: "Zhulu prepares water for me, and I want to bathe." ”

Zhulu was slightly stunned, and hurriedly went out to prepare.

The fresh hot spring water and the temperature were moderate, Meng Xilan stuffed her whole body in the water, and she couldn't wait to wash every pore on her body clean.

Zhulu Zhuqing stood beside her, secretly worried, and waited for a while before she saw her break through the water and gasp deeply.

After bathing, Zhulu took a handkerchief and twisted her hair, and when she saw that her face was not good, she was concerned and said, "Master, what's wrong?" ”

Meng Xilan looked at herself in the mirror and said lightly: "Zhulu, what do you think of King Zhou Jun?" ”

Zhu Lu paused his hand, and then lowered his head: "His Royal Highness the King of the County has a dignified appearance, and he looks like a very good person." ”

Meng Xilan smiled when she heard this: "Just because he's good-looking doesn't mean that his character is just as good." ”

Zhulu blushed and said, "Of course the slave doesn't know what the county king is?" The slave maid just thinks that the person who is good-looking may have a better heart......"

In the second half of the sentence, she deliberately hid it and didn't say it.

She has been accompanying her master in the palace for some days, and she has seen many people, even the emperor of the Ninety-Five. However, she has obviously seen so many people, but the only one she cares about most in her heart is Master Jiao.

Meng Xilan was silent for a moment before saying, "If it's really like what you think, then it would be great." Come to think of it, Xiyue's appearance is so bright and delicate, it stands to reason that her heart should be like this. ”

Speaking of which, Meng Xiyue and Zhou Shili are the same kind of people, who seem to be tempting and harmless, but they are actually poisoned into the heart and lungs.

Zhu Lu saw her mention the troubles, and said busily: "The master is worried about the matter of the setting moon." It's her own fault to say a thousand things and ten thousand. Master, the slave and maid will press your head and relieve your fatigue. ”

Meng Xilan closed her eyes and nodded: "It's okay, I just have a little headache." ”

Zhulu tied her hair, rubbed her shoulders and the back of her head lightly, and said after a while: "Master, everything is safe in the palace now, and you have nothing to worry about, so just take advantage of the absence of the ladies and move back to the house for a few days." ”

The queen mother is not there, the princess is not there, the master guards this huge palace alone all day long, it looks quite leisurely, but it is also quite boring. When I returned to Mengfu, I had a family member who could accompany me and talk.

Meng Xilan shook her head and said, "I've been back and forth too many times recently, and I'll wait until the Queen Mother knows that she will be careful." Also, I have things to do, and now is the right time. ”

Zhu Lu lowered her voice and said, "Master, the county lord's affairs can also be done in the house." ”

Seeing that she was still worried about herself, Meng Xilan couldn't help but smile: "The county lord can't be in a hurry, let's just wait and see what happens." I'm not going to do it for her, it's someone else. ”

The crown prince has been in the wind and water recently, which has made Zhou Shili rise with the tide.

Meng Xiyue has already fallen into the pit dug for her by others, and how to climb up in the future depends on her own ability.

Meng Xilan still had the last trace of kindness in her heart, she had already taken away the illness of the child in her womb, and paid for her life. Now Meng Xiyue no longer owes her anything, but she still owes the Meng family......

Now that the accomplice of the year has been duly punished, how can Zhou Shili, who is the initiator, still look at him and walk in this world unharmed!

It is not easy to take revenge on him, however, no matter how difficult it is, it must be done.

Zhou Shili is not a person who makes mistakes easily, so she can only use herself as bait. Just like in his previous life, he deceived her with a disguised sincerity...... Treat others in the way of others, so that he will know what pain is, pain that hurts his heart.
