Yansha dressed her, and sent a silver gilt-dotted emerald plum blossom hairpin to Meng Eqi's hair. Seeing Meng Eqi yawning, she secretly smiled and said, "Sister, you are sleepy, why don't you go as a servant? Get some mint leaves and put it under your tongue."
Meng Qiqi nodded feebly. At this moment, the maid stood outside the door and whispered, "Third sister, the second young master has sent a message. He has already arrived at the station. Please rest assured."
Meng Eqi froze all over, remembering the charming scene in her dream last night, and stammered and asked, "Then... Does the second young master have anything else to say?"
"Second Young Master also told my sister to stay safe at home, and the ones next to her are gone."
"Understood, you retreat." Meng Qiqi forced herself to change her dress calmly, put on a cloak of emerald-patterned brocade and feather satin, and went to Meng Yihui.
When she arrived at Meng Yihui, she was looking into the mirror and dressing her makeup. From the mirror, she saw Meng Qiqi standing at the door and smiled, "What's wrong with the third sister, her face is so red?"
Meng Eqi hesitated and confused, if Meng Yihui knew that she had such a charming and fantastic dream, a girl like Meng Yihui would be ashamed to drag her to commit suicide.
Fortunately, Meng Yihui did not continue to ask, Meng Eqi suddenly noticed that what she was wearing today was too simple, a pear white dress and two or three pale silver beads, which was actually all her makeup. Meng Yihui is such a beautiful woman, but she feels a little ill with such a dress.
Seeing this, Meng Qiqi walked over quickly while Meng Yihui was still in front of the dressing mirror, "Sister, your pearl flower is crooked."
The next moment she stepped on Meng Yihui's dangling skirt, and Meng Eqi stepped on both feet before she suddenly took a step back: "Sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
Meng Yihui looked back at the two footprints on the pear-white skirt, and shook her head not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Forget it, I'll just go and change, but next time you are so reckless, I will tell the second brother and ask him to punish you. ."
Meng Eqi approached with a playful smile: "Then I will choose a suit for the eldest sister, and I will take it as my apology. The eldest sister must not tell the second brother."
Meng Yihui had no choice but to say, "It's up to you."
Meng Eqi matched her with a cloud-colored skirt, which looked like clouds and mist flowing from a distance. She put on a plain velvet embroidered jacket, which suppressed the bright color of the Liuxia skirt and added a little softness. meaning. On her temples, Meng Eqi put a silver step and a few pearls in the hairpin for her, and Meng Yihui's tenderness was even more enticing, and she was the one who was afraid of Nuan Jade Beauty.
Meng Eqi read it again and felt satisfied. The two of them went to greet the old lady Meng, then got on the carriage and staggered to the hot spring palace.
Hearing that Xie Yaohua was not in the palace, Meng Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if Xie Yaohua wasn't here, because she rushed out without thinking and ruined the good things of eldest sister and Qin eldest brother.
As the market retreated behind him, a forest covered with dead branches gradually appeared in front of him.
Among the dead branches in the snow, the crimson palace walls can be seen in the distance, and the flying dragons on the golden glazed tiles display pieces of golden armor, as if they are going to ride the wind away. From a long distance, you can see the dense fog above the palace. When the carriage stops not far from the palace, you need to get off the carriage and walk. Meng Qiqi ran quickly a few times, leaving Meng Yihui behind.
"Third sister, slow down, don't fall!"
How dare Meng Qiqi be slow, she is still busy with Qin Yue! Meng Yihui didn't know that there would be a man living in the next two li hot spring palace. Meng Eqi hurried to the entrance of the palace. Sure enough, Qin Yue was dressed in commoner clothes and had been waiting there for a long time.
He was actually wearing a cloth! Meng Eqi had a headache, and this stupid big man didn't know how to dress himself up.
Seeing her, Qin Yue looked happy: "Princess Laiyi."
Meng Eqi looked back and glanced at Meng Yihui before she approached, and quickly lowered her voice and said to Qin Yue: "These **** eldest sisters are always being followed by people sent by the stinky scoundrel of the Minister of Rites, and they don't know about the group. Do you have the guts to follow me into the palace, if you stalk my eldest sister, I have to ask Brother Qin to drive this group of people away."
When Qin Yue heard this, his eyebrows suddenly frowned, and murderous aura loomed in his eyes: "This is natural, please rest assured, princess, Qin must do his best to protect the safety of the two girls in the palace for two days."
Meng Qiqi nodded heavily, still worried: "Then you should follow my eldest sister a lot, don't let the bad guys take advantage of it!"
Qin Yue hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.
Meng Qiqi snickered in her heart, but her face was still very serious: "But brother Qin, as you know, my daughter's family has a bad face, and this time we came out and didn't tell my grandmother that they were invited by the eldest sister, so I implore Brother Qin to stay with my sister. Don't mention this in front of you, lest my eldest sister be shy, and the maid hears it and goes back to tell my grandmother and aunt, then my eldest sister will suffer."
"Don't worry, the princess. Although Qin is sometimes rough, he will still pay attention to this detail."
After the exchange, Meng Eqi saw that Qin Yue had understood it very well, and the burden in his heart was lighter. She turned around to find Meng Yihui, who took her hand: "As soon as you get off the carriage, you will be happy. You won't listen to me when you go out. How can I trust you for the past two days?"
"Big sister, I saw General Qin just now! It's the one your grandmother arranged for you to meet last time, but you didn't go."
Meng Yihui paused: "Why is he here?"
Meng Eqi whispered close to her ear mysteriously: "Recently, a group of bandits have fled around, and they are hiding around this palace. General Qin secretly ordered to arrest this group of people. Big sister, don't make a sound when she arrives, and don't be surprised when you see him. So as not to be seen by the bandit's eyeliner and startle the snake!"
Meng Yihui was startled: "It's so dangerous, why don't we just go back to the manor?!"
"No way!" Meng Eqi said anxiously: "In case someone has seen it on the way here, and we hurried back this time, wouldn't we tell the bandits that there are officers and soldiers here? Then we unintentionally messed up General Qin's plan, When I look back, my uncle blames me, but what should I do?"
Meng Yihui bit her lip and finally said: "Forget it, we can't implicate others for no reason, then the third sister must follow me more these days, don't make trouble, safety is the first."
Meng Eqi pretended to be obedient: "Don't worry, eldest sister, I am still very clear at the critical moment."
At the gate of the palace, Meng Yihui really saw Qin Yue standing there, and Meng Eqi leaned into her ear: "Look, eldest sister, in order not to attract attention, General Qin's clothes are specially changed! It's so ordinary, we can't be confused. The position has ruined his plan. After a while, we will call Brother Qin, and the word general will not be used."
Meng Yihui had a righteous heart, understood the importance of this matter, and nodded immediately. When she saw Qin Yue, she gave a decent smile: "Brother Qin."
When Qin Yue saw Meng Yihui, who was gentle and demure, he was at a loss and didn't know what to say. For fear of giving the other party a severe impression, he also showed his face, showing his white teeth: "Miss Meng."
Meng Yihui nodded. It was the first time she met Qin Yue. Meng Yihui couldn't help blushing, and she lowered her head. The opposite Qin Yue also lowered his head very badly.
Meng Qiqi looked at the two of them and rolled her eyes secretly. She stepped forward and took Meng Yihui's arm: "Let's go in quickly, it's cold standing here, the snow hasn't melted yet."
Qin Yue led the two of them to the entrance, and said as they walked: "the orangery was cleaned up long before you came. The place is clean and spacious. I used to go there often when I came with the emperor. You two live there. ,Just right."
A hint of doubt appeared in Meng Yihui's eyes, and Meng Eqi hurriedly explained in a low voice, "It was unexpected that we were coming, so General Qin had to prepare temporarily."
Meng Yihui nodded clearly, and when she looked at Qin Yue again, there was already a hint of apology in her eyes.
After that, Meng Eqi walked around the house. Meng Yihui looked at the orange trees in the yard, she was a little surprised: "Are these precious tea branch oranges?"
Qin Yue was surprised: "Ms. Meng recognizes this?" He picked a golden citrus and wiped it on his clothes and handed it to her: "Try it."
"This… is not good?"
Qin Yue did not allow her to refuse, and put the citrus in her hand. Meng Yihui quickly grabbed the citrus, peeled it to reveal the golden flesh, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth: "It's so sweet!"
Qin Yue smiled: "I come here often. The citrus trees here are all planted by me with fresh stream water, salt well water and rain and snow water, so the citrus here is extraordinarily sweet, and it will not be worse than Gong orange."
Meng Yihui smiled: "It turns out that Brother Qin can do this too. I thought the warriors were just marching to fight..."
Qin Yue ate a citrus in two or three times, and smiled honestly: "I usually sleep in the open, and I have eaten everything to feed my stomach. I know a little about this."
For some reason, the two of them looked at each other for a while and their faces turned red again, and they turned their eyes. Meng Yihui only knew that she was eating citrus bite after bite, and at the end she had no more. Qin Yue said, "Go pick one and try it yourself."
Meng Yihui was encouraged by him to be bold and jumped up to pick a citrus hanging from a branch above her head.
How did she know that she was pulling like this, and the snow on the branches fell rustling.
"Heart!" Qin Yue stepped forward and stood firmly behind her.
Qin Yue was a little more than a head taller than Meng Yihui. He was born with broad shoulders, and now he is standing on top of Meng Yihui's head. The falling snow hit him, and many fell into his neck. Meng Yihui, who was standing under his figure then nothing at all.
"Brother Qin, are you alright?" Meng Yihui turned around anxiously. If she hurt Qin Yue in some way, she would feel very guilty if she couldn't complete the task arranged by the court.
Qin Yue still smiled and raised his eyebrows. He scratched his head: "I'm fine, it's just that the snow fell into the placket and it's cool."
Meng Yihui laughed at him, and the two smirked at each other.
Not far behind them, Meng Eqi was lying on the side of the window, holding her cheeks to watch, tsk tsk and shook her head: "Whoever doesn't deserve it is obviously a good match."
