When they left, the singing in the Changqing Palace gradually disappeared, and everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

Suddenly, the moon showed its face from the clouds, illuminating the white snow in the Changqing Palace.

Zhou Youchen pushed open the dilapidated door, slowly walked to the steps in the courtyard, squatted down, and opened the food box placed on it.

In the box was a hot hand stove, steaming slightly, surrounded by various snacks and rice balls.

Zhou Youchen stared at the food and looked at it, just staring blankly, until the white heat became lighter and weaker, and finally disappeared...... Fang just picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth.

"When did you become so unsuspecting?" Suddenly, a cold voice sounded behind him.

Zhou Youchen slapped his hand, turned his face sideways and said, "She won't harm me." ”

"Who is she?" The woman's voice was as cold as ice.

Zhou Youchen didn't seem to want to say more, and his voice gradually lowered, "She's no one." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bony hand suddenly reached over and pressed his shoulder, with an unresistible force, but the tone of his voice was a little more gentle: "No one in the world can be trusted. The revenge is not avenged, and you know what you should do. ”

After Zhou Youchen heard this, his pupils became deeper and deeper, and he replied lightly: "I know." ”

He threw the snack back into the box, then turned to look at the ragged woman sitting on the floor, her long hair disheveled and half of her face obscured, her face horribly pale, and even more frighteningly, her trouser legs below the knee were numbled on the ground, and she could only walk with her hands on the ground, slowly and hard.

The woman looked at Zhou Youchen with the exposed eye, her eyes were cold and there was no temperature. "I won't let you see her again!"

Zhou Youchen glanced at her, but did not speak, and returned to his dilapidated room.

……

After tossing for a whole day, Meng Xilan was tired enough.

Her palace maid's clothes were handed over to Zhuqing and asked her to find a proper place to hide them.

Zhulu has some opinions: "What is Miss still doing with this?" Do you want to go to Changqing Palace? ”

"Keep it just in case." Meng Xilan obviously hasn't given up yet, although it's a bit stupid.

While the master and servant were talking, Mama Kong lifted the curtain and came in.

"It's almost three days now, why hasn't the girl rested yet?"

Zhu Qing subconsciously hid her clothes behind her, Meng Xilan also frowned, and said busily: "I am halfway through my sleep and feel a little thirsty, Mama pour me a glass of water." ”

Mama Kong knew that she was lying, and just now she saw Xiao Lizi going out from here, so how could she be sleeping, but she still poured a glass of water.

Seeing that Zhu Qing took the opportunity to slip out, Meng Xilan breathed a sigh of relief.

If you let Mama Kong see that dress, it will be a big trouble.

When Mama Kong handed her water, she deliberately touched her hand, and her eyes couldn't help but sink: "Girl's hand, why is it so cold?" ”

Meng Xilan pretended to explain naturally: "Xu Yes, I accidentally got caught in cold water. ”

Mama Kong raised her eyebrows: "Really?" The servant was too careless, so the old slave asked someone to add a brazier, so that the girl would not get cold. ”

Meng Xilan knew that she was aware, but she must not have guessed.

Mama Kong really couldn't guess her thoughts. Usually, Meng Xilan treats her politely, but in fact, she is deliberately distancing, she knows that Meng Xilan is wary of her. Fortunately, she is very smart, and she probably can't do anything too out of the ordinary.

The next day, when I greeted the Queen Mother, most of the concubines in the palace came, as if they had made an appointment, but only Queen Su and Concubine Ning were not present.

I heard that Empress Su was not feeling well, but in fact, everyone knew that she felt faceless because the emperor stayed at Concubine Ning last night. As for Concubine Ning, she has always been used to doing her own thing.

After everyone dispersed, the Queen Mother couldn't help but chatter a few words with the grandmothers around her, and did not shy away from Meng Xilan's existence.

"The emperor is also too partial. Yesterday was the fifteenth big day, no wonder the queen was chilled. Concubine Ning is also excessive, always does not know humility, and destroys the harmony of the harem. These two people have been fighting openly and secretly for almost 20 years, but they haven't fought enough, and the mourning family has seen enough. ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyebrows, just didn't hear it, and counted the tea leaves in the cup intently, thinking about other things.

In the middle of the ring, she begged the Queen Mother, saying that she wanted to go to Dongsi Institute to see her brother Meng Xiran. She wanted to talk to her second brother and ask about the family's current situation by the way.

The Queen Mother naturally nodded in agreement.

She first asked Xiao Lizi to pass the word, thinking that she could meet her brother smoothly. Who knows, it just so happened that several princes got together to compete in archery.

Meng Xilan knew that she had come at the wrong time, but she couldn't leave if she wanted to.

Meng Xiran was the first to run over: "It's almost over, you wait a little longer." ”

Meng Xilan nodded, thinking to herself, she might as well go over and say hello.

This will, in addition to Zhou Youlin, there will be the fifth prince Zhou Youfeng and the sixth prince Zhou Youwen.

"The people's daughter Meng Xilan greets your highnesses." She saluted slowly, the sapphire beads on her forehead swaying slightly, emitting a brilliant light.

The eyes of the people around her were focused on her.

Zhou Youwen raised his eyebrows, "Fourth brother, look who is coming." After saying that, he laughed.

He smiled very frivolously, and disgust rose in Meng Xilan's heart.

Zhou Youlin pulled his bow with his long arm, and was about to release the arrow, when he turned his head to look at her, and followed by "whoosh" three arrows in a row, and the arrows hit the bull's-eye.

Zhou Youlin smiled with satisfaction, took back the longbow, and threw it to Meng Xiran: "In exchange for you." ”

Meng Xiran raised his hand to take the longbow, took out an arrow from the quiver behind him, and released it calmly, which was also right in the bull's-eye.

Meng Xilan applauded him, and then looked at other people's targets, it was obvious that Zhou Youlin's results were the best, followed by his brother Meng Xiran.

The second brother has really improved a lot, and he used to be the worst at these...... Just thinking about it, when he turned his eyes, he saw Zhou Youwen smiling evilly at him, and then said, "Miss Meng, why don't you come over and try archery too?" ”

Meng Xilan didn't know how to ride and shoot, so she hurriedly excused herself: "The folk girl can't." ”

"It's okay, you can't learn, let my fourth brother teach you." Zhou Youwen said while deliberately giving Zhou Youlin a look. "Fourth brother, teach Miss Meng quickly."

Zhou Youlin naturally understood his thoughts, but Meng Xiran also understood, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness Six, my sister has weak qualifications and can't learn these hard work, I thank her for your kindness." ”

Zhou Youwen was willing to give up easily, and shouted: "Don't know what to do, what is the prevarication." It's a rare opportunity to worship my fourth brother as a teacher, what are you hesitating about. ”

Meng Xilan saw that he was unrelenting, so she wiped away the anger in her eyes, and said gently: "Men and women are not kissed, there are many taboos in the palace, and besides, His Royal Highness's status is noble, and he is a body of ten thousand gold, how can he condescend to the dignity for the sake of the people's daughter, and lose the royal demeanor and demeanor." If His Royal Highness the Sixth really wants to see the folk girl make a fool of himself, then of course the folk girl can have the courage to give it a try and let you get what you want. After speaking, she stepped forward and took Meng Xiran's hand, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you can teach me." ”

Meng Xiran immediately nodded in response, and no longer gave Zhou Youwen a chance to interject.

Seeing this, Zhou Youlin curled a smile at the corner of his mouth.

This girl is a hard bone, she is neither humble nor arrogant, not arrogant or impatient, and she gave the sixth child a soft nail lightly.

It's kind of interesting!
