Xiao Yan knew that Mei Xue was going to move away from the palace, so he immediately rushed to the bamboo garden.

Mei Xue was writing a manuscript, and when she saw Xiao Yan panting and opening the curtain, she pointed to the round chair opposite and motioned for him to sit.

Xiao Yan was so angry that his face turned white, and as soon as he sat down, he asked if Emperor Mingde had asked her to move from the bamboo garden.

Mei Xue shook her head, put the pen in her hand on the pen stand, and didn't look at Xiao Yan, and said while sorting out the manuscripts that had just been written:

"Naturally not, I want to move out, and it just so happens that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rewarded the house, so I just moved in."

Xiao Yan sneered and said:

"His reward is really timely!"

Mei Xue raised her head, glanced at Xiao Yan and said:

"Don't say that again."

Xiao Yan actually understood everything in his heart, and after sitting sullenly for a while, he said:

"I want to go out for a walk, just go to Lilac to see the house for you first."

Mei Xue nodded, took out a folding fan from the drawer and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan opened it and found that there were two blonde, blue-eyed, snow-white-skinned beauties painted on it, so he immediately opened his mouth and asked Mei Xue with a smile where she got such a good thing.

"I drew it myself, don't you like it?"

Mei Xue leaned back in her chair and asked with a smile.

Xiao Yan's original worries in his heart were swept away, and he laughed and said:

"Miss Mei, I'm really convinced of you. Of course I like this fan, it looks better than the one that Liang Jinsong showed off to me a few days ago. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Yan inserted his fan into his belt, shook the fan given by Mei Xue in his hand and happily went to the lilac.

Mei Xue watched Xiao Yan's back walk away, and the smile on her face gradually dissipated.

Li Jinzhi was in the bamboo garden after noon and told Mei Xue some things.

Wanlin Bookstore and the royal mansion in Lilac are only separated by a forest, but they belong to two streets facing back.

This bookstore was originally looking for a buyer, and Song Zhijie arranged for someone to buy the bookstore.

"Once you've moved in and arranged the house, you can start digging secret passages for emergencies."

As Li Jinzhi spoke, he reached out and touched Mei Xue's hair.

These days, there is noticeably less of a smile on his face.

Mei Xue smiled and comforted him:

"I'm not surprised by what people say, I will bring two children back to visit you and Mr. Song in the future, you miss the children, just go over."

Li Jinzhi smiled reluctantly, reached out and hugged Mei Xue into his arms and said:

"You know, I'm more afraid of being separated from you."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the pastry shops on the street are putting on all kinds of mooncakes for sale early.

The county lord of Changle rode to the Yulin Wei Yamen, threw the reins into Liu Qi's hand, and did not speak, and went inside with a gloomy face.

Liu Qi whispered to Yun'er, who was following behind, what was going on.

Yun'er was also a little annoyed, snorted and said:

"It's not because of Miss Mei's move from the palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has deceived people too much, which has made the county lord sullen for the past few days."

Liu Qi naturally heard that Mei Xue was going to move, and he didn't know what to say when he heard the words.

Shen Qingyang was busy with official business in the study, and when he saw the county lord of Changle entering the door, he didn't speak, and lowered his head to busy himself.

The county lord of Changle sat down opposite Shen Qingyang, was silent for a while, and suddenly cried and said:

"Why did he become like this? His three children were all saved by Mei Xue, and Jinzhi's cousin was also loyal to him, otherwise, Concubine Shu and King Lu would not ......"

Before the Lord of Changle County finished speaking, Shen Qingyang raised his head and interrupted her:

"If you don't want to kill Li Jinzhi, don't say such things again in the future."

The county lord of Changle sobbed for a while, but finally nodded.

She couldn't say these words in front of the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang, so she could only come to Shen Qingyang.

Shen Qingyang continued to be busy with the things in his hands, and the county lord of Changle was lying on the bookcase in a daze boredly, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

The circles under his eyes were still red, and his face was full of grievances.

A smile appeared on the corner of Shen Qingyang's mouth, and he got up to get his cloak and put it on the county lord of Changle.

It was almost noon, Liu Qi led a personal soldier into the house with food, and the county lord of Changle sat silently opposite Shen Qingyang to eat.

But after only a few bites, she put down her chopsticks and looked out the window in a daze.

Shen Qingyang glanced at her and asked:

"Do you think the capital is not as good as Qingzhou?"

After thinking about it, the county lord of Changle shook his head and said:

"Although I was happier in Qingzhou, my mother was suffering at that time, so I am still willing to live the life I have now."

After speaking, she raised her head, looked firmly into Shen Qingyang's eyes and said:

"And there's you here."

The chopsticks in Shen Qingyang's hand paused, but he immediately lowered his eyes and changed the topic and said:

"Miss Mei is about to move, you will often go to help her in the future. Mingze, that child, it is definitely not easy to take Li Jinzhi away.

Remember, when Miss Mei moves, you are not allowed to show him in front of the prince, let alone show him a face. ”

The county lord of Changle was a little disappointed, but he still lowered his head and answered sullenly.

Li Mingze relied on Li Jinzhi very much, and in order to prevent him from crying, everyone deliberately waited for him to fall asleep before setting off.

Mei Xue hugged Li Mingze, Ping An refused to let others hug her, and grabbed Mei Xue's skirt with her little hand and followed her slowly.

The things were all transported to the cloves early in the morning, and behind Mei Xue, she was followed by Yurong and Mama Zhang, as well as the two nurses who had been following since Chengdu.

Jiu'er hugged Mama Mei and walked beside Mei Xue with a calm face.

Li Jinzhi and Song Zhijie stood at the gate of the courtyard to see Mei Xue off, and Gao Yuan and Peng Liang stood behind them, their faces were very bad.

Steward Liang was carefully arranging for everyone to get into the car, but the county lord of Changle was galloping over at this time.

Turning over from the horse, the county lord of Changle didn't speak with a cold face, walked to Mei Xue's side, held Ping'an in his arms, and took the lead in the carriage at the front.

Mei Xue stood in front of Li Jinzhi and comforted him and said:

"Don't worry about the son, if the child can't cry, I will send someone to invite you."

Mei Xue is now going to do acupuncture on Li Mingze every other day, and every time he cries for a long time.

Li Jinzhi nodded, reached out to cover the thin hood on Li Mingze's head, and then helped Mei Xue to send her to the carriage.

Watching a few carriages drift away, Li Jinzhi still had red circles in his eyes after all, and even Song Zhijie twisted his face away.

Li Mingze slept soundly in Mei Xue's arms, Ping An was very sensible, and sat silently in the arms of the county lord of Changle.

The county lord of Changle looked at Mei Xue, who looked calm, and endured it for a while and said angrily:

"I'm going to beg my grandmother to marry you and your cousin and see what else he can do."

Mei Xue raised her eyes, looked at the county lord of Changle calmly and said:

"If I could, I wouldn't have waited until today. Lord of the County, I appreciate your kindness, but please don't do it, because it will only bring more trouble and pressure to the prince. ”

The county lord of Changle obviously understood in his heart, and when he heard this, he bit his lip and twisted his face.

Although she is a big personality, she has lived in such a complex family since she was a child, and after arriving in the capital, she is in the royal family, and there are battles and calculations everywhere.

Cousin Li Jinzhi's situation, how can she not see clearly?

Xiao Yan had already waited with Liang Jinsong at the door of the house in Lilac, he was still dressed in a fancy dress, shaking the Western beauty fan given to him by Mei Xue in his hand.

As soon as the county lord of Changle got out of the car, he kicked him, and said impatiently:

"What are you happy about?"

Xiao Yan didn't care about her, and shouted after taking the peace:

"Let's go, I've already arranged the banquet, let's have a good meal, I'm dying of hunger."

Seeing Xiao Yan walking in front with Ping An in front of her, Mei Xue smiled and whispered to the county lord of Changle:

"Xiao Gongzi has good intentions, and he is afraid that everyone will be in a bad mood so he deliberately did this."

The county lord of Changle said "um" and didn't speak, and took Li Mingze from Mei Xue's arms and hugged him.

The new house is indeed as Li Jinyu said, large and elegant, and has been renovated, not only all kinds of utensils are complete, but even the flowers and trees are also a thriving scene.

After the meal, the four of them sat and talked for a while, and the lord of Changle went to send Xiao Yan and Liang Jinsong, and when he came back, he found Mei Xue painting in the study.

On the beige rice paper, Li Jinzhi smiled gently, and his blue clothes seemed to be fluttering in the wind.

The county lord of Changle was a little puzzled, in her impression, Mei Xue had never been an emotional person.

Mei Xue didn't speak, and finished the finishing touches with a concentrated expression before straightening up and putting the pen on the pen stand, and then said to the county lord of Changle with a smile:

"The emperor and grandson are very attached to the prince, I dried this painting and hung it up, and when he cried, it might be of some use."

The county lord of Changle instantly turned red, choked up and asked Mei Xue:

"Don't you hate him for treating you and your cousin like this?"

Mei Xue shook her head lightly, walked to the window and looked at the flowers and trees outside and said:

"From the time when I, the prince and Lord Shen decided to take the emperor out of the palace, I didn't see him as the father of the emperor anymore, because I didn't think he was worthy."

"Mei Xue, don't you think it's very hard? You look at these people around you, old and young, sick, sick, and...... And...... I don't see a future for you and my cousin. ”

Princess Changle cried.

Mei Xue was still smiling, touched the shoulder of the county lord of Changle soothingly, and said:

"County Lord, you and I are different people. I've starved, I've been cold, I've struggled out of my blood and I've come back to life.

I have seen the darkest hearts of people, and I have also seen the coolest of the world. Therefore, the current situation is far from frustrating me.

Xiao Ping'an, the emperor's grandson, and my aunt, maybe they are all a burden to me in the eyes of outsiders.

But for me, they are warmth, they are strength, and they are the reason why I can still love this world. ”

Speaking of this, Mei Xue smiled coldly again:

"As for him, as for them, I have done my best to do what I have to do and what I can, and if one day they must make me cornered, I will certainly not be restrained.

County Lord, you should believe that I have this ability, so you don't have to feel sorry for me. ”

The autumn wind suddenly rose, and she fiercely rushed into the window and ruffled Mei Xue's long hair and green shirt, but her expression remained unchanged, and she didn't even move her eyes.

The county lord of Changle finally choked up and nodded, and stepped forward to hug Mei Xue.
