Chapter Twenty-Nine: Plea for Mercy and Going Home

What a bold idea!

Meng Xilan was stunned and startled by the thought in her mind.

I didn't expect that I would have such a vicious side...... It's just that this idea was quickly denied by Meng Xilan herself.

Although the prince is in the way, he has no grievances with her and the Meng family, and she can't harm others at will because of her own personal enmity.

Don't hurt the innocent, this is the bottom line that Meng Xilan set for herself.

The more she was at a loss, the more she missed her family.

After thinking about it, Meng Xilan felt that she had better hurry up and find a way, and it was important to go home.

If she takes the initiative to ask the Queen Mother, it is inevitable that she will be careful, so it is safest to go to Zhou Youning.

In order to make Zhou Youning happy, Meng Xilan told Xiao Lizi to go to the imperial dining room to find something, but he really found it.

Meng Xilan carried a small bamboo basket to Zhou Youning's room, this would not be the time for a nap, she lay on the soft couch with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep.

Meng Xilan took a closer look and found that her lips were slightly pursed and her eyelashes trembled slightly, so she knew that she was deliberately pretending to be asleep.

Meng Xilan smiled slightly, reached out and took out a little white rabbit from the bamboo basket, put it beside her, and waited quietly.

The rabbit was timid, and it was a little cold on the road, and it didn't move at first, but it slowed down for a while before it came to Zhou Youning's face, and the hot snort blew on her face.

Zhou Youning opened his eyes, first startled, and then laughed in surprise: "Ah...... Bunny. ”

Meng Xilan sat next to her and said with a smile: "It's almost going to be eaten today." ”

Zhou Youning held the rabbit in his arms, kissed and looked at it, and protested delicately: "Such a cute rabbit, who can bear to eat her?" ”

Meng Xilan said lightly: "Then ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to protect it." From now on, no one will dare to bully it anymore. ”

Zhou Youning laughed happily when he heard this

In the end, it's still a child's heart, just coax.

"Your Royal Highness, for the sake of the little rabbit being so cute, please don't be angry with me again."

Zhou Youning looked at her, and his eyes softened: "I'm not angry with Sister Lan...... I just think my sister is better than me in everything, reading, writing...... Moreover, the imperial grandmother also seems to prefer her sister, and takes her sister with her wherever she goes. ”

She couldn't tell if she was jealous or wronged, but she felt uncomfortable anyway.

Meng Xilan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and was silent for a while, before she reached out and touched the rabbit in Zhou Youning's arms, her fingers gently rubbed the snow-white and soft fluff, and said slowly: "Does Her Royal Highness the princess think this rabbit is cute?" ”

Zhou Youning didn't mind seeing her change the subject, nodded and said, "Well, it must be the cutest little rabbit in the world." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly and continued to ask: "This rabbit is so quiet and well-behaved, and it is likeable, will the princess envy it in her heart?" ”

This question is a bit strange, Zhou Youning blinked in confusion, and shook his head again: "No, she's a rabbit...... Why does my sister ask that? ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Youning, and a faint crystal flashed in her eyes: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the situation of the folk girl is the same as the rabbit in your arms...... Everyone likes it, but if you make a mistake, you will suffer, and you will be thrown directly into the soup pot, and you can't even save your life. ”

After entering the palace, her status as a famous family has become not worth mentioning. Now, living every day by the breath of the queen mother and the princess, he seems to be favored, but he does not have any real power in his hands...... Moreover, she can't be the shadow of Princess Changle for the rest of her life.

Zhou Youning thought that Meng Xilan was joking, but the moment he met her gaze, he looked at her black eyes and gloomy expression, and realized her serious mood.

"Sister Lan......" Zhou Youning was stunned and muttered to her.

Meng Xilan deliberately left half of her words, looked at Zhou Youning with tears in her eyes, and held her outstretched hand: "I often serve the Queen Mother because the Queen Mother is kind to my Meng family. I do my best in everything I do, because of my identity, I don't allow the slightest mistake...... Therefore, Your Highness Princess, I also have many of my last resorts......"

Zhou Youning saw that she suddenly became sad, and immediately panicked, "Sister Lan, don't be sad." I don't mean to reprate you...... I was just...... Sister, if you have anything to worry about, tell me and I'll help you. ”

Meng Xilan stopped her tears, and said in a low tone: "It's been some time since I entered the palace, but I haven't been able to go home to see ...... when I left the palace to save my relatives" Speaking of this, she stopped talking again.

"Sister, don't be embarrassed, just go and ask the imperial grandmother for a word." Zhou Youning's tone became relaxed.

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate." I don't want my mother to think that I am homesick and don't like to stay in the palace......"

Zhou Youning listened to her distress, his eyes rolled slightly, and he quickly thought of an idea: "Yes, I will go to ask the imperial grandmother to be okay, and I will say that I want to go out of the palace for a walk, just go to your house to sit." ”

Her mind is simple, and the solution she comes up with is straightforward. This method is obviously in line with Meng Xilan's intentions.

Zhou Youning hugged the rabbit, stood up and said, "I'll go to find the imperial grandmother, and my sister is waiting for me." ”

Sure enough, Zhou Youning's coquettishness made the Queen Mother nod and agree.

The time was set for tomorrow morning, because Zhou Youning couldn't spend the night outside the palace, so they had to come back before the palace gate was locked.

In order to take everything into order, the Queen Mother personally sent a letter to the Meng family, asking them to prepare in advance to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Although the arrangements were hasty, Meng Xilan was already very satisfied, even if she couldn't spend the night at home, she already had enough time to discuss important matters with her family.

I can finally go home. Meng Xilan's mood was too good to speak.

Zhulu and Zhuqing also happily began to pack their things, and only after just a few things were packed, they stopped again.

"The slave is really confused, the young lady only has half a day's work to go home, where do you need these luggage." Zhulu said as she shook her head.

Meng Xilan turned her head to look at it, and instructed lightly: "You don't have to clean up anything, let's go back tomorrow." ”

While speaking, Mama Kong walked in with a tray.

Meng Xilan showed her a seat, thinking to herself, she must have something to explain to herself.

Who knows, Mama Kong didn't say a word today, just put the nourishing ginseng soup in front of her, "This is boiled by the old slave himself, girl, please use it." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Mama has worked hard, Niangniang has rewarded a lot of dishes at dinner, and I have already eaten very richly." ”

Mama Kong said lightly: "Ginseng soup nourishes vitality, the girl has been busy with the Queen Mother for a while, and she has really worked hard." ”

"You're welcome...... I just did my part. Her sudden concern made Meng Xilan feel a little uncomfortable.

Mama Kong followed: "The girl didn't notice it herself, you have lost a lot of weight recently." Look at the bracelets on your wrists, they're already slipping to your elbows. ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she subconsciously looked down.

Sure enough, the bracelet that Concubine Ning gave her was a bit big before, but now it is even more dangling.

Mama Kong is careful.

"This bracelet is a reward for Concubine Ning, if the girl feels inconvenient, it is better to take it first, so as not to accidentally bump into it."

Meng Xilan looked at the jade bracelet with her body temperature, thought about it and said, "No need, just take it with you." Jade raises people, people raise jade, it's a pity to put away such a good thing. ”

Hearing this, Mama Kong's mind moved slightly.

When she first entered the palace, she liked plain clothes the most, and now she has gradually begun to love luxury.
