What kind of person is the Queen? Meng Xilan knew very well in her heart that although she was not as smart and neat as Concubine Ning, she had a lot of intrigues and tricks in her stomach, and what she was best at was hiding needles in the cotton. Because of the epidemic, the people in the palace have already divided Meng Xilan and Concubine Ning into a faction, and Queen Su and Concubine Ning are incompatible, so they will naturally be angry with the Meng family and themselves.

Meng Xilan's voice was a little angry, not as gentle as usual, which made everyone slightly stunned.

She was really angry.

Meng Xichu's face turned pale when he heard this, he bit his lip and glared at Meng Xilan, and then defended himself: "My sister said these words, is she reprimanding me?" I don't understand the rules of the palace, but when the queen mother talked to me, I was also shocked, I could only improvise, I could only say a word and think about it, how could I think about it everywhere? ”

Her justification is really useless, and when it came out just now, anyone could see that she wanted to tie up the queen's mother.

"My father's meritorious service to assist Prince Xian, this is a well-known thing in the Meng family, is it that my sister is the only one who doesn't know?" Meng Xilan asked her coldly.

Inside and outside the DPRK, the parties are separated, and the Meng family has already chosen a position. Therefore, when the people of the Meng family speak and do things in the future, they must distinguish between "distant and close relatives".

Seeing that her daughter looked aggrieved, Meng Xilan was angry again, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her: "Lan'er, we are all a family, please bear more." Even if Chu'er said something wrong, it was all unintentional......" Before she finished speaking, she was choked back by Meng Xilan's sharp eyes.

Meng Xilan lightly intercepted her words: "Auntie doesn't need to tell me these words, since we are a family, I am naturally right to speak." However, I still have to remind Sister Chu that in the future, remember not to recklessly pick up stubble, and end up being joked about, which is both embarrassing and embarrassing. Meng Xilan didn't politely detour with them, lowered her eyes and said lightly: "I'm also tired today, Ming'er will lead you to the Queen Mother to say goodbye." ”

Sun was also embarrassed by her, and couldn't help but secretly make up a sentence: This girl is really no one in her eyes, I am her elder anyway, she is so unkind!

Meng Xichu felt aggrieved and sad in his heart, and after Meng Xilan left, he immediately lowered his head and cried.

Seeing this, Sun hurriedly went over to comfort them, Meng Xiqiao glanced at the two of them, shook her head secretly, and then chased them out.

"Sister Lan......" Meng Xiqiao called Meng Xilan softly, smiled humbly, took her hand and said, "Sister, don't be angry." ”

Meng Xilan's mood had already calmed down, and the reason why she left was just that she didn't want to talk to them more.

"Xi Qiao, you can go back and rest too. After Ming'er, the family members of those famous families will come over one after another to offer incense, and when the time is right, I will send someone to call you over. Meng Xilan's gaze disappeared from Fang Cai's thin anger, and she just explained a few words to her lightly.

Meng Xiqiao nodded and meekly responded.

She watched Meng Xilan go away, and secretly buried her expectations in her heart. Today, although she was robbed of the limelight by Meng Xichu, who was eager for quick success, she also got a calm and quiet impression in front of everyone because of her self-defeating, which is a good thing to think about...... Good flowers also need green leaves! Presumably, with Meng Xichu's abruptness in front, her quietness is likable.

Meng Xilan went all the way back to the wing, she didn't have the intention of playing, and she didn't have the leisure to practice calligraphy, she thought about it, and only told Zhulu to accompany her to sit in front of the Heavenly King Palace. She didn't want to talk at this time, if Zhou Youning came back, she would inevitably have to talk and laugh with her again. So, she wanted to find a quiet place to stay alone for a while.

Zhu Lu knew that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't say much while holding her breath, and she did whatever the master asked her to do.

Meng Xilan knelt on the futon, closed her eyes, folded her hands, and silently recited the scriptures in her heart.

I don't know how long later, a breeze blew behind me, cool, and then there was the sound of dripping rain.

Meng Xilan's shoulders shrank slightly, only to feel that someone walked by beside her, as if Zhu Lu had closed the door in the past, and the sight in front of her gradually dimmed.

I don't know if it's because the hall is too deserted, or because it's raining outside.

Meng Xilan suddenly felt a little cold on her body, and slowly said, "Zhulu, go and help me get a cloak." ”

When the words fell, a faint echo could be heard, but Zhulu's promise could not be heard.

Meng Xilan called her again, thinking that she was dozing off in the back.

"Bamboo dew ......" Meng Xilan opened her eyes, and when she was about to turn around, she suddenly had a warm weight on her shoulders, and when she looked down, she found that a cloak was already draped over her body.

"You're still the most careful, and you've been prepared." Meng Xilan smiled slightly.

“……”

The bamboo dew behind her didn't squeak, as if she was afraid of disturbing her purity.

"You don't have to stop talking, my heart has calmed down, it's rare to be quiet here, let's talk for a while." Meng Xilan slightly concealed her tiredness, and whispered: "Zhulu, do you say that my attitude is too harsh?" They must hate me in their hearts. ”

“……”

Zhulu still didn't answer her, too...... She has always been cautious about what she should say and what she shouldn't say.

Meng Xilan looked at the misty candlelight in front of her, and didn't wait for her to answer, and continued to talk to herself: "Actually, I wasn't angry just now, I was just too anxious. Danger was clearly in front of me, but no one could see it, as if I was the only one who could see it. So, I'm always in a hurry, always looking ahead and being careful...... Neither oneself nor others are allowed to make mistakes, everything must be done exactly right, and there can be no mistakes...... Sometimes, I hate myself like this, I really hate it! ”

“……”

As she spoke, Meng Xilan suddenly shook her head again, and continued to speak slowly: "But even if I hate it, I have to keep doing this, and I will always live like this." ”

She didn't want to vomit bitterness on the Buddha statue, she just wanted to remind herself once again that she couldn't relax and couldn't forget.

"Aren't you tired of living like this?"

Someone behind her suddenly asked, Meng Xilan's chest suffocated, and she forgot to breathe in an instant, it was not Zhulu's voice, but a man's voice, which sounded a little familiar.

Meng Xilan straightened up slightly, panicking in her heart, only to feel that she was really too careless. She quickly thought about what she had just said, but fortunately, she didn't say anything specific.

No matter who the person behind her was, Meng Xilan knew that she couldn't be so stiff, she slowly turned around and saw a person's face clearly through the candlelight in the hall.

Those clear eyes belong to Zhou Youlin.

Meng Xilan was slightly stunned...... How did he end up here?

Actually, Zhou Youlin came to visit his mother, and he didn't want to disturb others, let alone Meng Xilan. It's just that as soon as he arrived here, he saw Zhu Lu walking out of the main hall alone from a distance, and gently closed the door.

Where she is, Meng Xilan will also be there.

Zhou Youlin originally just wanted to go over and stand behind the door to take a look, take a look and leave. However, when he reached the door, he heard Meng Xilan's voice, she didn't seem to know that Zhulu had left, and spoke to her softly, the tone was gentle that he had never heard.

Meng Xilan looked at Zhou Youlin, looked down at the cloak on his body, and realized that the person who had been standing behind him was him.

But why is he here? What about bamboo dew? Where did she go again?

"Lord Wang, you ...... How did you end up here? Meng Xilan regained her senses, quickly got up and stood facing him, and asked with a surprised expression.

Zhou Youlin stood a few steps behind her, lightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and asked rhetorically, "Why can't this king be here?" ”

Meng Xilan's expression was faintly displeased: "I didn't mean that, why didn't the prince send someone to report?" I thought it was bamboo dew......"

He shouldn't have come here, and he shouldn't have deliberately kept quiet to make her recognize the wrong person.

Zhou Youlin looked into her eyes and said, "I scared you?" ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly, deliberately not letting him see the panic in her eyes, but said lightly: "No, I was just a little surprised." ”

He really scared her, and at this moment, Meng Xilan's heart was still scared for a while. If she said something she shouldn't have said, then she would be in big trouble.

Zhou Youlin put away the smile on his face and suddenly became serious: "I didn't mean to scare you, it's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence." ”

He didn't mean to listen to her, but he just happened to hear it, and he happened to be attracted by her self-talk, and he didn't want to leave so silently......

Meng Xilan didn't like this excuse, she immediately took off the cloak on her body, presented it back to Zhou Youlin with both hands, and said with a slight smile: "Thank you for the prince's cloak, I should go back." ”

Zhou Youlin didn't answer, looking at her face fixedly, her eyes, I couldn't wait to look all the way into her heart, looking at it, his brows twisted: "Why can you change your face so quickly?" ”

But just for a moment, her eyes changed, and her expression changed...... It's the coldness and politeness that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Meng Xilan calmed down, and said in a light tone: "Lord Wang, I really should go back." I'll put your cloak on the table first. ”

She walked past him as she spoke, Zhou Youlin could no longer see half an abnormal look on her face, her eyebrows were lowered, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, and she no longer saw Fang Cai's panic and helplessness, but it was this calm that made Zhou Youlin feel upset and depressed for no reason, he turned around and grabbed her wrist, the force was not heavy, but it was enough to make her stop.

Meng Xilan's heart trembled, lowered her head, and said in a cold tone: "Above the Buddha Hall, I still hope that the prince will respect himself." ”

After the last time, she had made it clear that he shouldn't pester her anymore.

The candle flame was bright, but Zhou Youlin's eyes were bottomless, and he only looked at her and asked: "Since you and I are standing in this Heavenly King Palace, facing this hall full of gods and Buddhas together, Meng Xilan, do you dare to tell me the truth?" ”
