Chapter 33: The Unexpected
"Could it be that she is dealing with this king on the surface, but in fact she wants to secretly calculate this king?" Liang Ji hesitated to speak.
Seeing Liang Ji's indecisive face, the personal maid hurriedly rolled her eyes, and seemed to explain the truth gently: "Since the third lady has done something wrong, it is inevitable that there will be a possibility of recidivism, no matter what, the prince should still pay more attention." ”
Liang Ji has been taken care of by the maid since he was a child, and the maid is also his first woman.
He attaches great importance to the opinions of his personal maids.
Recalling the softness and kindness that Liu Mengling had disguised in front of him, and her indifference in the face of Liu Yanxue, Liang Ji's brows furrowed more and more.
Liu Mengling is indeed thoughtful, and she is not easy to get along with.
After pondering for a moment, Liang Ji suddenly beckoned the little servant to come: "Receive all the gifts to the warehouse, and only carefully prepare a Geng post." ”
He wants to postpone the time of marriage to see if Liu Mengling will be annoyed and angry and do something impulsive.
If Liu Mengling really loves him and wants to marry him, she won't care about the sooner or later she will marry.
But if Liu Mengling's heart was full of calculations, she would definitely be anxious.
Liu Mengling never expected that her non-standard swearing posture would become a strong proof of "deep thinking".
She happily returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, looked through the clothes in the cabinet, and thought about what clothes to wear in order to appear beautifully at tomorrow's engagement scene.
It's just that her good-looking clothes were basically pawned and compensated to Liu Yanxue, and Liu Mengling rummaged for a long time before she barely found a gorgeous skirt.
Thinking of Liu Yanxue's bullying of her, Liu Mengling couldn't help but provoke Liu Yanxue and let her see her current happiness.
But after the idea of provocation rose, Liu Mengling thought of Liu Yanxue's cold eyes and the jade Guanyin who was pinched out by her own hands.
…… Forget it, when the prince comes to propose marriage tomorrow, it is estimated that Liu Yanxue's eyes will be red with jealousy.
Thinking of this, Liu Mengling smiled proudly and happily lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Although there are not many marriage ceremonies, they are still quite complicated, generally starting in the morning and ending in the evening.
So Liu Mengling got up early and dressed up all the clothes, only then did she suddenly feel that something was wrong.
It stands to reason that if Liang Ji wants to come to the prime minister's office, he should notify the prime minister's office in advance to prevent the prime minister from going out to work, and there will be no elders in the house at that time, and things will be embarrassing.
But when she sent someone to look for the prime minister, she was told that the prime minister had gone out to meet his staff and would not return until almost noon.
Did Liang Ji not tell the prime minister about the plan? Or was the prime minister too busy and forgot the news of Liang Ji?
Liu Mengling sat on the chair anxiously, looking at the woman dressed in flowers in the bronze mirror, and for a while she didn't know whether to maintain her current appearance, it was better to wait for the third prince to come and propose, or simply take off her makeup and walk with light makeup.
Just when she was hesitating, a maid suddenly ran in outside the door: "Miss, Miss! ”
She gasped and ran to Liu Mengling's side quickly: "The slave maid listened to the young lady's instructions and stayed outside the courtyard of the fourth young lady, and when she saw that the fourth young lady was going out, the slave stopped the fourth young lady and said that today is the third young lady's wedding day, and the third young lady's relatives should be there." ”
"As a result, the fourth lady said......" The maid paused, "she said that she had not received the news, and the master had not said anything about not being allowed to go out today. ”
“……”
Liu Mengling sat in the courtyard in a daze, feeling a mess in her head, and she couldn't figure out what was going on for a long time.
Could it be that Liang Ji regretted his marriage?
As soon as this thought popped into her head, Liu Mengling shook her head violently and threw it out of her mind.
"The slave maid will help the young lady remove the makeup on her face first." Liu Mengling's personal maid probably saw the situation, so she took off the gorgeous dress Liu Mengling was wearing with trembling hands.
It wasn't until noon that the maid trotted over: "Third Miss, the prince is here!" ”
Hearing the word "prince", Liu Mengling's originally sluggish expression became flexible again, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she stood up suddenly, and held the hand of the maid who came to report the news tightly: "Is the prince really here?" ”
was pinched by Liu Mengling and grinned, but the maid didn't dare to show it at all, so she could only barely show a smile on her face: "That's right, the prince is talking to the master in the front hall, do you want to go and see?" ”
"I ......" Liu Mengling thought of Liang Ji's promise yesterday, and thought of the morning waiting, she pursed her lips, suddenly calmed down, and sat back in the chair, "I'll read the book for a while, and then go out when the prince looks for me." ”
Although she said that she didn't go to see the movement in the front hall, Liu Mengling still sent several maids to eavesdrop on the things in the front hall throughout the whole process, and asked them to relay what they heard to her.
"The lord and the prince are exchanging Geng posts, and the lord said that he had already found the master to calculate the marriage, and the prince and the young lady were destined by heaven." After the maids ran around repeatedly and brought a bunch of useless news, a clever maid finally brought the matter over.
Hearing the master say that she and Liang Ji were a destined pair, Liu Mengling's complexion softened slightly, but she quickly thought of something, raised her head stubbornly, and stared at the maid: "What did the prince bring?" ”
When she went to look for Liang Ji yesterday, Liang Ji clearly said that she would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion with boxes and boxes of gifts.
As a result, none of the maids mentioned the gifts.
"Something else?" The maid was stunned for a moment, a little dazed, "The prince seems to have only brought Geng Ti here, and there is nothing beside him." ”
"No?" Liu Mengling bit her lower lip and thought about it, but she didn't understand why Liang Ji suddenly changed his mind.
However, Geng Ti has already been exchanged, and her relationship with the prince is also certain.
Since this is the case, she decided to continue to sit in the room, waiting for Liang Ji to come and apologize and admit her mistake and say a proper reason.
She must kill Liang Ji's prestige well, so that she won't be able to control Liang Ji at all in the future.
Liu Mengling wanted to suppress Liang Ji's prestige, but in Liang Ji's opinion, she didn't care about him at all.
When an ordinary woman hears that the man she likes has come to her house, she will definitely pack up and go to meet her lover.
As a result, Liang Jidu walked around the garden, but he didn't even see the slightest shadow of Liu Mengling.
His face was cold, and he felt that yesterday's analysis of the personal maid was indeed very correct, Liu Mengling looked innocent, but she was actually a thoughtful woman, thinking about conspiracy and calculation all day long.
Compared with her, Liu Yanxue, who has something to say and does it directly if she wants to beat and scold people, looks very real and cute.
Liang Ji's mind appeared Liu Yanxue's peerless face, and his heart also moved.
"Where is Miss Four?" He turned to the side and asked about Liu Yanxue's whereabouts.
The little guy who was pulled by Liang Ji was stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and hung his head: "The fourth lady left the Prime Minister's Mansion today, I don't know where to go." ”
"It is said that Miss Fourth has been looking for a designer to discuss things recently, probably to clean up the store."
"She's not there?" The smile on Liang Ji's face gradually faded.
No matter how much Liu Yanxue refused and treated him coldly, Liang Ji was very narcissistic and thought that Liu Yanxue still had him in his heart.
After all, he and Liu Yanxue have been an unmarried couple for so long, and Liu Yanxue has been desperate for him many times, even when he is stupid, his heart is full of Brother Ji.
After many years of relationship, how can you say that there is no and there is nothing?
Liang Ji's self-confidence gradually disappeared in Liu Yanxue's blows again and again, but he didn't believe in Liu Yanxue's ruthlessness.
…… Of course, the most important reason why he chased Liu Yanxue closely may be Liu Yanxue's appearance.
"Since the fourth lady is not here, you can take this king to the garden for a walk." Liang Ji hesitated, and instead of going to Liu Mengling, he ordered the little servant to take him to the pavilion to rest.
The little guy that Liang Ji caught happened to be the little guy next to Liu Mengling, and he was ordered by Liu Mengling to come to monitor Liang Ji's situation, and he happened to be pulled for questioning.
After leaving the courtyard, the little maid hurriedly returned to Liu Mengling and told Liu Mengling everything about it.
Seeing that Liang Ji was married to her, but she still missed Liu Yanxue, Liu Mengling was so angry that her whole body trembled.
"When you go to the prince, you will say that I am not feeling well today, so I did not come out in time to greet the prince, and I hope that the prince will forgive me." Liu Mengling thought for a while and looked at a maid beside her, "When the time comes, if the prince has the heart to come to see me, you will lead him to come slowly, and if he doesn't care about me, you will come back directly." ”
"The slave knows." The maid obeyed the order, and Liu Mengling looked at the other maid.
"You come and help me put on a light makeup, the more emaciated the better."
Liang Ji sat bored in the pavilion for a while, and just when he was gradually chilling Liu Mengling, suddenly a little maid hurriedly walked up to him.
"The third prince, the third lady asked the slave maid to inform the prince, the young lady is unwell and has been bedridden to recuperate, so she couldn't come out in time to greet the prince, and I hope the prince will forgive the sin."
"Not feeling well?" Liang Ji frowned, "Why is you unwell?" ”
He suddenly asked the bottom of the question, and the maid was stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly, and soon smiled helplessly: "The slave maid can't say for sure, but the young lady only said that it would be good to take a rest, if the prince wants to know how he is unwell, it is better to take a look in person." ”
The maid's answer was very fast, but Liang Ji kept staring at her, and still noticed her momentary stunnedness.
Why was she suddenly stunned?
It must be because his question is so unexpected that the maid needs to make it up temporarily.
Liang Ji sneered, but still stood up from the chair: "In this case, this king will go to see Mengling's situation and see what is wrong with her, but she can't even come to see this king." ”
The maid thought that she had said something wrong, and her heart was full of pressure and nervousness.
She was afraid that Liu Mengling was not ready, and her steps were as slow as a snail, which made Liang Ji extremely irritable.
