Meng Qiqi came down with the whole bunch, her face was not red and her heart was not beating, she sat down in front of Sheng Jiayan and stared at him.
Although her face was so magnanimous, the sweat in her tightly clasped hands showed her panic in her heart.
Fortunately, she had already rehearsed such words countless times in her mind, and imagined such scenarios hundreds of times. Although in her imagination, after her impassioned remarks, Sheng Jiayan would hug her affectionately, and cursed: "Fool."
He might even be able to help her straighten her messy sideburns to show her doting.
However, the reality is always cruel and cold-blooded.
I saw Sheng Jiayan listened to her expressionlessly, and then closed his eyes and went to rest.
His illness was not yet fully recovered, and his face was a little pale after the illness, but his eyebrows were even more handsome. Meng Eqi moved her fingertips slightly and wanted to pounce again. Fortunately, she held back and huddled at the other end of the carriage to look out the window at the scenery.
"No dislike." Sheng Jiayan suddenly said such a sentence.
Meng Eqi turned his head to look, he still closed his eyes, and what he said just now seemed to be just his own hallucinations. Meng Qiqi crawled over, pressed close to his face and asked, "What are you, Ayan? What did you just do!"
Sheng Jiayan closed his eyes and frowned, turned his back to her, but refused to speak again.
Meng Eqi simply lay on top of him: "What the hell did you just do!"
Sheng Jiayan immediately backed away, avoiding her touch, and he opened his black eyes: "Your female gentleman only teaches you how to copy books, doesn't he teach you how to teach and accept?"
Meng Eqi knew that he was not angry anymore. Seeing him dodge, she rushed forward again giggling: "This lady gentleman really didn't teach me! Ayan, you are not angry anymore."
Sheng Jiayan closed his eyes and stopped talking, Meng Qiqi grabbed his arm and shrugged back and forth. While the two were struggling, Sheng Jiayan slammed his head into the car wall, making a slight 'boom' sound, and Meng Eqi hurriedly reached out and stroked his forehead.
"Ayan, you're fine!"
"Don't come again!"
Chi Zheng, who was riding a horse outside and following the carriage on the right side, heard the movement inside, and a flash of worry flashed across his eyes.
Shouldn't this son of the Sheng family have a purpose? He is only thirteen years old now, so he should be considered young, and his mind should not be so vicious that he wants to plot Meng Qiqi to avenge himself. In any case, Chi Zheng hopes his worries are unnecessary.
The remnants of the Sheng family also had to be guarded against.
Back in the palace, Meng Eqi was taken to the Qinzheng Hall to greet the emperor. As soon as he entered the door, the emperor, who was over 30 years old, rushed over.
"Laiyi, you are trying to scare your uncle to death! Your uncle asked you to have a kiss, and you made such a fuss. You are trying to make your uncle sad!" The emperor burst into tears and looked back and forth at Meng Eqi to confirm that she was all right , then heaved a sigh of relief: "If these bandits dare to be rude to you, I will now ask Xuan Lie to lead troops to level their hills!"
Meng Eqi hurriedly pulled the emperor's sleeve and acted coquettishly: "Uncle, I didn't run away just because I was so angry as you think. I originally wanted to take Ayan to visit Mr. Fu, but who would have encountered a thief on the way, This is the only way to have this experience. Fortunately, you are helped by the people from Fengzhai, otherwise how could Laiyi come to you intact, you must appreciate the people of Fengzhai.”
Xie Chongming said hesitantly, "Why does Fengfengzhai sound like a den of thieves?"
"How could it be!" Meng Eqi hurriedly covered up: "There are some old and weak, women and children in the ventilation village, how can such people be bandits? Not only are they kind-hearted, they have also cured Ayan's typhoid fever. Uncle, who caught Lu Sansheng's gang of gangsters, really deserves a reward, uncle!"
Xie Chongming's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to be skeptical. Meng Qiqi knew that he was not easy to be deceived, so he could only tilt his head with his arms in his arms: "If uncle is reluctant, then come to Yi and reward them!"
Xie Chongming was amused by her and couldn't help laughing: "Your things are all given by your uncle, aren't you rewarding them with your uncle's things?"
Meng Qiqi was at a loss for words: "Then take it from my dowry. If it's a big deal, I'll ask for less of my uncle's dowry!"
Xie Chongming couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and Chi Zheng said aside: "Laiyi, do you know what kind of dowry His Majesty has prepared for you?"
"On the left are some pearl jewelry, followed by some Zhuangzi shops, otherwise it's just silver. Over the years, most of the treasures that my uncle has collected from all over the world have been piled into the 'He Man Man' of Yi, really. Tired of watching."
Who knows Xie Chongming waved his hand: "No, how can your dowry uncle only buy two silver jewelry."
Eunuch Fu Hai, the chief eunuch on the side, took advantage of the situation and smiled: "Congratulations to Princess Laiyi, your majesty, the dowry that your majesty just bought for the princess totaled 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the city has 14 states."
Such a great gift! ? Meng Qiqi looked at Xie Chongming's smiling face and knew that this was true.
In the past, I only knew that he was favored by the emperor, but I didn't expect him to be so unambiguous about his dowry. Even so, Meng Eqi still felt a little vigilant. If her dowry was really like this, then in the eyes of others, she would not be a simple favored princess, but an active humanoid amulet.
Thinking that she might be involved in more court disputes over national interests in the future, Meng Eqi hurriedly pretended to be angry: "Uncle is not planning to marry Yi far away in the future, so the dowry for Lai Yi has been arranged so early, it is clear that I don't want to see me anymore. Since I've annoyed my uncle, Laiyi should go back to Meng's mansion now."
Xie Chongming quickly grabbed her and said, "Okay, my uncle will be gone in the future. When you are older, bring this up again."
Only then did Meng Qiqi threw herself into the emperor's arms with a smile, and the people around her gave some compliments.
When she was hugged by Xie Chongming, Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of Sheng Jiayan standing outside the crowd.
He stood outside the lively in his bright black robe, out of tune with everyone.
Sheng Jiayan lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking. When everyone complimented Meng Qiqi, he didn't even lift his head.
He really seemed to be more alienated from himself in this life.
It seems that there is a long way to go to please His Majesty the King of Hell...
Meng Qiqi sighed inwardly.
"Uncle," she glanced in Sheng Jiayan's direction: "Actually, this accident made Laiyi realize a problem."
"what is the problem?"
"Laiyi has grown up, and because of his uncle's favor, his reputation has spread widely in the capital, and even everyone knows that there is a rampant Princess Laiyi in my uncle's palace. In this way, my safety is naturally affected. In order to threaten, although there are many maids and guards that usually go out, none of them can get close. If you choose an ordinary bodyguard to protect yourself, the reputation of Laiyi will also be damaged. If you choose a woman, it will always be worse. Men can pick and carry."
Meng Qiqi's eyes lingered on Sheng Jiayan: "If uncle is willing to train Ayan to be a first-class master, then Laiyi's safety will naturally not have to be worried."
Seeing that Xie Chongming wanted to refuse, Meng Qiqi added: "I will follow Ayan wherever he goes, and he will do the same. If uncle doesn't agree, come to Yi and ask Uncle Chi."
Chi Zheng was named by the side and glanced at the emperor.
Meng Eqi was about to kneel down for Chi Zheng: "Uncle Chi, please accept Ayan as your apprentice. If you teach him well, Laiyi's safety will be guaranteed."
Chi Zheng didn't dare to accept his kneeling, and quickly hid behind the emperor.
Seeing this, Meng Eqi hurriedly chased in his direction and continued to kneel down.
The two came and went with the emperor as the center, and Xie Chongming was dazzled by the two of them. In the end, he flicked his sleeves: "All stand for me!"
He glanced at Meng Qiqi and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll depend on you."
Then the emperor called Sheng Jiayan to him, and it was another education with coercion and inducement. Sheng Jiayan lowered his head the whole time, except to say 'yes' when necessary, and listened to Xie Chongming's thoughts in the rest of the time.
In the end, Xie Chongming's tirade ended in the sentence 'It's rare that the princess likes you, you have to cherish happiness'.
Meng Eqi thanked him hastily, and dragged Sheng Jiayan to escape from the Palace of Qinzheng.
After leaving the Qinzheng Palace, Meng Qiqi looked at Sheng Jiayan, who had an indifferent expression beside him, and said with a heart, "Uncle Fang Cai's words are a bit unpleasant, don't take it to heart, anyway, he has been a high-ranking person for a long time, and he thinks about everyone he meets. Knock knock knock."
"What is he?" Sheng Jiayan glanced at her, "I forgot."
Meng Eqi jumped beside him: "You can forget everything about uncle, but the last sentence is very important, you forgot? Think carefully about what he said in the last sentence just now."
"The last sentence?" Sheng Jiayan really thought about it carefully: "It seems that we are allowed to retire."
"One more sentence!"
"Go ahead? That's 'Laiyi must not be naughty'."
"How about further ahead!?"
"Go ahead... It seems to be asking the eunuch to deliver tea."
Meng Eqi stopped in place angrily, and Sheng Jiayan walked forward without knowing it.
Does uncle just have so much nonsense? ! She clearly remembered that every sentence was important, and Sheng Jiayan made it clear that she was going to be mad at her!
"Meng Laiyi!" Xie Yaohua, Meng Eqi's nemesis, had heard the news that she was going to enter the palace, and now she walked over from the garden with a dozen or so people menacingly carrying her skirt.
Seeing this, Meng Qiqi hurriedly dragged Sheng Jiayan in the opposite direction.
Seeing that she was hiding from him, Xie Yaohua ran forward so fast that she didn't even know that a gold hairpin on her temples was crooked.
"Meng Laiyi," she raised her head and looked at Meng Eqi, "Where is the bandit who tied you?"
Meng Eqi gave her a strange look: "Of course, Uncle Chi locked him up."
"Locked up? Damn!" Xie Yaohua shouted angrily: "I want him to be released now. I want to ask this group of bandits, if I stand in front of you at the same time, whether to tie you or me."
"Xie Cui, have you lost your mind?"
Xie Yaohua's eyes widened, a blush rose on her face, and she said angrily, "How many times, I'm not called Cui anymore, I'm called Yaohua now!"
Suddenly, she saw Sheng Jiayan, who was silent beside him, covered her lips with a fan in a pompous way, and exclaimed, "Sheng Shishi!"
