Chapter Twenty-Nine: Door-to-door Proposal
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Looking at the leaves that were torn apart by Dou Yue'e, Liu Mengling's heart moved, and she became nervous: "What kind of intimacy is the intimacy with the third prince?" ”
She actually had a guess, but she didn't dare to say it casually.
Noticing Liu Mengling's clenched fists, Dou Yue'e smiled: "Mengling, what kind of 'intimacy' can it be that can be completely tied to the third prince?" ”
Liu Mengling struggled to digest Dou Yue'e's meaning before she spoke: "Mother, do you want me and the third prince to ......?"
Even Liu Mengling, who has been talking about "prostitutes" and "sluts" all year round, couldn't help but blush when she mentioned the so-called "intimacy".
Compared with Liu Mengling's shyness, Dou Yue'e is much more straightforward: "That's right, if you want to be a princess, you must be married to the third prince, otherwise how can the third prince put his heart on you again?" ”
"You are already a childhood sweetheart and a good match with the third prince, if there is no little cheap hoof to intervene, the position of the third princess is in your bag." Seeing Liu Mengling's entangled face, Dou Yue'e opened her mouth to persuade her, "In this case, it is nothing that you and the third prince had a husband and wife earlier." ”
In fact, as soon as Liu Mengling heard Dou Yue's suggestion, her heart was very moved, so after being casually persuaded for two sentences, she immediately made up her mind: "Mother, you are right, I must work hard to win the heart of the prince, and I can't sit still anymore." ”
Seeing that Liu Mengling regained her spirits, Dou Yue'e smiled with relief: "That's how it should be." ”
She reached out and touched the scar on Liu Mengling's face: "This injury is not serious, it should be almost better tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will find a chance to meet the third prince and use this." ”
As she spoke, Dou Yue'e stuffed a packet of medicinal powder into Liu Mengling's palm.
"This is ......" Liu Mengling looked at the name of the medicine powder, and the whole person turned red into a shrimp in an instant.
After calming down a little, Liu Mengling put away the medicinal powder, but her brows were still furrowed: "Mother, my daughter is ready, but how to let the third prince come?" ”
Hearing Liu Mengling's question, Dou Yue'e also became worried.
If you want to complete the plan, a necessary character is Liang Ji.
But will Liang Ji come to the Prime Minister's Mansion again?
"Let's see the move." Dou Yue'e couldn't understand Liang Ji's mood, so she comforted Liu Mengling and asked her to take advantage of these days to dress up more, and when Liang Ji came, she succeeded in one fell swoop.
said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, Dou Yue'e and Liu Mengling just thought about Liang Ji, and Liang Ji came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the afternoon.
Hearing that Liang Ji was coming, Liu Mengling, who returned to the room, hurriedly ran out and hurriedly returned to Dou Yue'e's courtyard: "Mother, the third prince is here, what should my daughter do!" ”
She looked herself up and down, and found that she was dressed simply, and her face was scarred, not at all beautiful and elegant, not attractive at all.
"What? How could the Third Prince suddenly arrive? When Dou Yue'e first heard the news, she was as panicked as Liu Mengling, but she quickly calmed down.
She sent a personal maid to find out why Liang Ji came, and then glanced up and down Liu Mengling a few times, changed her into a set of cumbersome and gorgeous skirts, and pressed her in front of the dresser.
Looking at the dressing mirror, Liu Mengling caressed the scars on her face sadly, gritted her teeth and said, "It's all to blame on that little slut, who made a mark on my face, and the prince must not like it." ”
"I must complain to the prince for a while, so that Liu Yanxue will never have the possibility of being loved by the prince again."
As soon as Liu Mengling finished speaking, she saw the maid who was sent out to inquire about the news running in in a panic: "Madam, Miss, the prince is here to propose!" ”
"Propose?" Liu Mengling stood up suddenly, and the dresser in front of her was almost knocked over by her, "Whose kiss is it, how to mention it?" ”
Liu Mengling's fierce appearance frightened the little maid, she secretly took two steps back, and said cautiously: "The slave and maid listened to it, and they all said that the prince had a deep love for the fourth lady, so he took the initiative to come and show favor with a gift......"
"Get out!" Without waiting for the little maid to finish speaking, Liu Mengling was so angry that she directly swept all the things on the dresser and smashed the little maid.
The little maid didn't dare to continue to speak when Liu Mengling was angry, so she hurriedly bent down and retreated.
"Mengling, take it easy." Dou Yue'e reached out and patted Liu Mengling's back, "Aren't you prepared?" ”
"Mother, I know, but I just can't be angry......" Liu Mengling turned around and looked at Dou Yue'e with a face full of grievances, "Isn't Liu Yanxue just good-looking...... In addition, what is better than me in that she can make the prince come to show her favor again and again? ”
"She was born with a foxy face, just like her mother." Dou Yue'e also darkened her eyes, "But you are going to be a princess, or even a queen, even if you are angry, you can't be so reckless, understand?" ”
“…… Well. Liu Mengling replied sullenly.
Dou Yue'e sat Liu Mengling down again, and she took all kinds of cosmetics, carefully smeared them on Liu Mengling's face, and quickly modified the chopsticks marks on her face into a beautiful butterfly, and the butterfly landed on her side face, as if resting on a flower.
Looking left and right at the bronze mirror for a long time, the surprise in Liu Mengling's eyes was not fake at all: "Mother, your hands are too skillful!" ”
"Okay, now that you have no scars on your face, let's go and chat with the prince." Dou Yue'e withdrew Liu Mengling from the courtyard, "When our plan is successful, when the time comes, even ten Liu Yanxue will not be as good as one of your fingers." ”
When Liu Mengling walked towards the main hall with a high spirit, Liang Ji was sitting opposite him.
"Prime Minister, this king has come this time because of an extremely important matter, and I want to discuss it with the prime minister." Liang Ji sat on a chair with a wooden box at his feet.
Seeing the red ribbon tied to the wooden box, the prime minister's eyelids jumped, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"If the third prince has something to say, he will say it." The prime minister coughed lightly, controlled the emotions in his heart, and sat calmly.
It's a pity that his calmness was broken in the next second.
"This king has admired the fourth lady of your mansion for a long time, and wants to re-engage with the fourth lady, I don't know if the prime minister can allow it?" Liang Ji stared at the prime minister tightly, with imperativeness in his tone.
"Yanxue?" Cheng almost dropped his jaw in shock.
He has never paid attention to the chaos in the back house, and every time Liang Ji comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he also thinks that he is in love with Liu Mengling.
As a result, Liang Ji actually fell in love with Liu Yanxue, who was once disliked by him in every way!
Seeing that the prime minister was hesitant, Liang Ji narrowed his eyes: "Prime Minister, this king and Yan Xue already have a marriage contract, but due to some accidents, Yan Xue misunderstood me, so she wrote a letter of resignation impulsively." ”
"After all, the prime minister is Yanxue's father, and they all say that the parents are destined to match, as long as you promise the marriage, presumably Yanxue will obey it." Speaking of this, Liang Ji didn't forget to take out the gift list from the box and give it to the prime minister with both hands, "The engagement was ordered by my father before, and this king was still young at that time, so he didn't say anything." Now that the king will send his sincerity, please consider it more carefully. ”
The prime minister took the gift list, opened it and glanced at it a few times, and his complexion changed suddenly.
It's so precious!
The prime minister has been in the dynasty for decades, so he naturally knows what level the treasures of the prince's engagement should be, but Liang Ji gave a lot of good things, just add a few more things, and you can catch up with the grade of the dowry!
He glanced at Liang Ji several times in disbelief, but what caught his eye was Liang Ji's determined look: "What does the prime minister think of the sincerity of this king?" ”
"This king has been fond of Yanxue for a long time, so he will naturally be devoted to her." Anyway, before the person arrived, Liang Jixian said a big word without blushing and without a heartbeat, "And the relationship between this king and the Prime Minister's Mansion is already close, and now that we are with Yanxue, we are real relatives." ”
"Mengling ......" The prime minister glanced at the gift list a few more times, and was quite moved by some of the ancient books in it, but he didn't dare to accept it casually, so he tentatively asked about Liu Mengling and Liang Ji.
Hearing Liu Mengling's name, Liang Ji's movements paused: "This king and the third miss are confidants, but this king only has Yanxue in his heart, and the third miss is just a red face to talk about." ”
Liu Mengling is indeed delicate and lovely, and she is knowledgeable, but compared with Liu Yanxue, it is the difference between heaven and earth, and Liang Ji naturally knows how to choose.
He said it in a straightforward and high-sounding manner, and the prime minister only sighed when he listened.
But none of them noticed that a beautifully dressed woman was hiding by the door.
It was Liu Mengling.
Liang Ji's indifferent tone was like a knife, which was directly inserted into Liu Mengling's heart.
Her fingernails sank into the palm of her hand, and a deep red mark pressed into the palm of her hand.
Listening to Liang Ji's meaning, he doesn't seem to have the idea of marrying Liu Mengling?
The prime minister hesitated for a moment, and he really wanted to deal with this family business.
Originally, Liu Yanxue has always had a marriage contract with the third prince Liang Ji, and now it is not a matter of course to renew the front edge?
But as soon as he was about to speak, Liu Yanxue's cold eyebrows appeared in front of him.
…… He has never fulfilled his father's duties, so how can he rashly decide Liu Yanxue's future?
He shook his head, and reluctantly put the gift list on the table in front of him: "At this time, it is about Yan Xue's future, and the old minister does not dare to be arbitrary, so he needs to ask Yan Xue to discuss it in person." ”
Without waiting for Liang Ji to speak, the prime minister directly called the little guy next to him and asked him to call the fourth lady over.
Seeing the little guy come out, Liu Mengling was shocked, hurriedly took a few steps back, and hid around the corner.
When the little girl asked to see her, Liu Yanxue was just about to rest.
"Miss, sir, please go to the main hall." Chunshi walked up to Liu Yanxue and spoke softly.
"Did you say something?" Liu Yanxue rubbed her temples and dispelled the headache a little, "Wait a minute, I'll get up right away." ”
