Chapter 55: Lord of Changle

The next day, Li Jinzhi entered the palace and went directly to Zhuyuan after returning home.

Mei Xue was writing a manuscript in the room, and Li Jinzhi opened the curtain with a smile.

Mei Xue turned her face to look at him and pointed to the round chair next to the table.

Li Jinzhi sat down and said to Mei Xue with a smile:

"The imperial grandmother agreed on the spot, but she and her aunt, the crown princess and sister-in-law traveled together, and they still had to prepare for a few days."

Although Anguo Temple is in Luoyang City, for the Queen Mother and others, no matter when they go out, no matter where they go, it will not be a simple matter.

As he spoke, Li Jinzhi raised his hand and touched Mei Xue's head, his eyes full of joy and doting.

Mei Xue smiled and nodded, stopped the manuscript she was writing, got up and brought a pot of hot water to the study.

In the early winter weather, the wind has been bleak, but the green bamboo in the yard is still verdant.

Sitting against the window, Li Jinzhi asked Mei Xue:

"After the winter solstice, you will be fifteen years old, and I will prepare a ceremony for you, okay?"

Mei Xue was silent for a while, shook her head and said:

"After the winter solstice, things in Beijing should come to an end.

If the emperor and grandson don't need me to take care of it every day, I may go to Qiantang to transport Mrs. Mei's bones back, and also collect the remains for the Mei family and rebuild the ancestral hall to pay respects.

As for the princess's medicine, I will hand over the prescription to Chen Yiling at that time, and I will teach him personally in advance. ”

Li Jinzhi put away the smile on his face, walked up to Mei Xue, helped her shoulders and said:

"I was negligent, and then I'll go with you then."

Mei Xue nodded, but still said:

"You're just getting better, it's damp and cold in the south in winter, and I don't want you to follow me."

Li Jinzhi shook his head, took Mei Xue's hand and took her into his arms and said:

"I must go with you, I don't want you to be alone anymore."

Gao Yuan entered the bamboo garden at this time, he was originally going to come to find Mei Xue, but through the window he saw Li Jinzhi hugging Mei Xue.

Gao Yuan was dumbfounded, and then grinned silently, the master and Miss Mei were finally together, and there was nothing more joyful than this.

Li Jinzhi was facing the window, and he was a head taller than Mei Xue, so when he raised his eyes, he saw the smiling teeth outside the window.

Li Jinzhi's face turned red instantly, but he was reluctant to let go of Mei Xue, so he smiled and glared at Gao Yuan to leave quickly.

Takato laughed silently, turned around and ran.

The time for the lord of Changle to arrive in Beijing was much faster than Mei Xue expected, and the day after the Empress Dowager Jing'an arrived at Anguo Temple with Princess Chenyang and the crown princess, she arrived on a fast horse, and the escort arrived a few hours later than her, so tired that people turned over on their backs.

The lord of Changle first rushed to Miyagi, and heard that the queen mother took her mother to Anguo Temple, but she didn't even see Emperor Mingde, so she turned around and went to Anguo Temple again.

The girl in red and white horse galloped down the long street, her long hair flying, she did not wear a hat, and her face was brighter than the early winter sun.

Jiu'er happened to see this scene on the street, and after inquiring, she went back and sighed to Mei Xue.

Mei Xue smiled and listened, and the question in her heart rose again.

Princess Chenyang, Cai Yu and Lord Changle, there must be secrets between them that outsiders don't know.

Mei Xue went to Anguo Temple to deliver medicine to Princess Chenyang the next day, and she was still thinking about seeing the crown princess again.

The county lord of Changle was wearing a bright red suit, holding a horse whip in his hand, and stood at the door of the hall looking at Mei Xue.

Mei Xue smiled in her heart as soon as she saw her.

What a special girl, and very beautiful, like a blooming desert rose, intense and amazing.

It's only been a few days since the Cai family was full of people, and she went out in such clothes, as if she couldn't wait to show her attitude.

Mei Xue walked up the steps indifferently, and when she saw that the county lord of Changle ignored her, she only nodded and prepared to enter the hall.

But the county lord of Changle stopped her and asked:

"You're Mei Xue?"

"Yes, Weichen is Mei Xue."

The county lord of Changle snorted, took the horsewhip around Mei Xue, looked at her and said:

"I can't imagine that you are so young, I am seventeen years old, you are not even fifteen, right?"

"Wechen is two months old and fifteen years old."

"At a young age, you look old, and you are still dressed like this, my cousin's palace can't afford you to eat and wear?"

Mei Xue couldn't help laughing, smiled and replied:

"Wechen has a good fortune, and the palace has never treated Weichen harshly, it's just a habit developed since childhood."

The county lord of Changle snorted again, frowned and thought for a while, as if he had made a lot of determination, before saying:

"I originally wanted to come to the capital to find you and Shen Qingyang to avenge the imprisonment, but if you can treat my mother, it's okay for people to look at it, so I'll forgive you."

But Shen Qingyang, that bastard, I will definitely not let him go. ”

Mei Xue was amused by the county lord of Changle, and saluted her and said:

"Then Weichen thanks the county lord for his leniency, but Lord Shen also acted in accordance with the law, not specifically against the county lord."

"No, if it weren't for Shen Qingyang's bastard hands, I wouldn't have had to go to the prison cell, and I'm not a child of the Cai family."

Princess Changle was still annoyed, and led Mei Xue to the palace while saying:

"The medicine you prepared seems to be really useful, my mother is not as painful as before, and I slept well last night."

As she spoke, she stabbed Mei Xue's waist with a horsewhip and said:

"As long as you can cure my mother's illness, I will cover you in the future, and no one in the capital will dare to bully you."

As he spoke, the county lord of Changle proudly shook the horsewhip in his hand.

Mei Xue almost laughed again, but seeing that the county lord of Changle looked serious, she had to reply with a solemn expression:

"Wechen will do his best."

In just a few days, Princess Chenyang's face has improved greatly, and she has lost a lot of weight, obviously not as bloated as before.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an was very happy and said to Mei Xue:

"According to the recipe you gave, the food you made didn't taste very good, but it really worked."

Mei Xue was also happy, and after carefully checking it out for Princess Chenyang, she said:

"The nutrition of this recipe is sufficient, but without sugar, salt and oil, it is very hard to eat, and it is not easy for the princess to persevere."

Princess Chenyang also smiled rarely, shook Mei Xue's hand cordially and said:

"You are a good and sensible child, but Changle has been spoiled by this palace since he was a child, and I will ask you to take care of it in the future."

The county lord of Changle pouted, stomped his feet and walked out.

Mei Xue went to the side hall to visit the crown princess again, and Princess Changle also followed her.

Seeing Mei Xue hugging the crown princess and speaking softly, the county lord of Changle stood at the door of the bedroom and was a little at a loss, and after thinking about it, he hurriedly hid the horsewhip in his hand behind his back.

changed the environment, and there were only Mama Jiang and a few palace people who had been serving by her side since she was a child, and the princess's spirit was obviously relaxed.

Mei Xue has been with her for more than an hour, and she has no emotional breakdowns such as crying.

The county lord of Changle waited impatiently, turned around and went outside.

When Mei Xue was about to leave Anguo Temple, a funny but expected scene happened.

Emperor Mingde sent Shen Qingyang to Anguo Temple to deliver something to the Empress Dowager Jing'an, and happened to meet the county lord of Changle.

Shen Qingyang, who was dressed in black, strode into the courtyard, followed by two attendants carrying things.

The county lord of Changle stood at the door of the hall, whispered a few words to a palace person beside him, and then threw off the horsewhip and ran towards Shen Qingyang.

It seemed that a red flame was rushing towards him, and Shen Qingyang was defenseless, so he dodged after a while.

The two chamberlains who followed him were unlucky, and the whip was drawn over them, and the box in their hands fell to the ground.

The two palace people were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground to plead guilty, Shen Qingyang was already annoyed, he had no patience for women, although he probably guessed who the person in front of him was, but he didn't have the habit of getting used to anyone, so he snatched the horsewhip from Princess Changle's hand with his hand, and said angrily:

"Nonsense, who gave you the guts?"

As he spoke, Shen Qingyang threw the horsewhip on the ground and motioned for the two attendants to get up.

Princess Changle was dragged by Shen Qingyang and almost fell, and suddenly became even more aggrieved, and slapped Shen Qingyang with a slap.

Shen Qingyang laughed angrily, and as soon as he raised his hand, he cut Princess Changle's arms, and at the same time instructed the trembling palace people next to him:

"What do you guys eat? Take her to the Queen Mother. ”

But those palace people didn't dare to take the initiative with Changle County, so they only surrounded her and didn't let Shen Qingyang get closer.

Shen Qingyang picked up the box with one hand and left, ignoring the Changle County Lord who was already crying angrily.

Mei Xue had been standing quietly at the door of the side hall, and when Shen Qingyang found her, her expression suddenly became embarrassed.

Mei Xue just pretended not to see it, and walked along the corridor of the side hall to the gate of the courtyard.

Shen Qingyang stood in the middle of the courtyard sulking, especially when he saw the shallow smile on the corner of Mei Xue's mouth, his face turned even darker.
