Meng Qiqi hesitated for a moment: "How about I still..."
Sheng Jiayan didn't give her a chance to refuse, he directly reached out and grabbed her wrist and lifted her whole body, then turned to say goodbye to Mrs. Meng and the ladies: "Sanmei wants to see the copybooks I collected for her in the morning. , I'll take her there."
Only then did Liu Ning take a closer look at Meng Qiqi. She had already heard Princess Yi's name and how Meng Qiqi was favored. Whether it was the imperial palace or the Meng mansion, everyone pampered her and let her go. And this second young master with different surnames from Meng Mansion was also brought back to Meng Mansion by Meng Qiqi for naturalization. According to the theory, they are two people without blood relationship, not really brothers and sisters, but why is the relationship so close and suspicious
Mrs. Meng allowed the two to leave, as if she caught the doubts of everyone in the hall, so she said lightly: "Qiqi has always had a good relationship with her second brother, and they both belong to the second room. I'm getting older and can't take care of me. , so Qiqi's second brother is more careful."
The old lady Meng is like this, and it is not easy for others to have other opinions, so they can only suppress the doubts in their hearts.
Outside, Sheng Jiayan pulled Meng Eqi forward. At this time, he should have been praised and sought after by everyone in the front hall, but he was actually leading himself on the corridor. A lantern wrapped in red rosé hung under the porch, swaying in circles of warm luster under the caress of the night wind.
Where is he taking himself
Meng Eqi was really curious, and was thinking about where to go with her head lowered. Sheng Jiayan in front suddenly stopped, and Meng Eqi bumped into his solid and tough back.
Sheng Jiayan turned around, and the night wind blew up his straight jacket, his long body was jade-like, and his eyes were filled with starlight. His clear voice sounded, and his expression was richer than usual: "Qiqi, everyone congratulates my Xie Yuan, where is your congratulations?"
He actually called himself out to ask for gifts? !
"I... I gave you a Pixiu jade pendant."
Sheng Jiayan picked up the Pixiu hanging on his waist: "To ward off evil spirits, increase luck, and promote peach blossoms?"
Meng Qiqi was at a loss for words: "Then... or I'll give you a little more money?"
Sheng Jiayan looked at the jade pendant for a while, and then thoughtfully said: "There is a chance to ward off evil spirits and increase luck, but the promotion of peach blossoms has not yet been seen."
He really misses peach blossoms! Meng Eqi immediately puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "Why didn't you see it!? The two maids your aunt gave you, and the lady Liu in the flower hall just now, aren't all peach blossoms flying in?" !"
"You seem to have missed one."
"I missed one?" Meng Eqi frowned and recalled carefully, since he got his jade pendant, it seems that he hadn't come into contact with any girl? She was biting her lip and thinking about it, and suddenly saw Sheng Jiayan looking at her eyes, actually let her see how affectionate it is? !
no... not her...
Sheng Jiayan knew she had thought of it, but seeing her embarrassed expression, it seemed like she was about to find a hole to dig into. Looking at the scenery in the court, he stood with his hands behind his back and said, "I don't need the protection of Meng Mansion anymore, and I'm not the queen of criminals. In the future, I will rectify my father's name. There are still many things I want to do, and I am the most Thinking, we're not really siblings. At the right time, I'll…”
Before he could finish, he heard a 'bang' from the side. Sheng Jiayan looked back and found that Meng Qiqi's face had hit a pillar next to him, and two clusters of bright red flowed from the tip of his nose! Her expression seemed dizzy, and her eyes were even more mixed.
Sheng Jiayan frowned, he didn't expect Meng Qiqi's reaction to be so big. She hurriedly leaned over, and Meng Eqi stood along the pillar, as if she could not stand still. At this moment, she really felt that she was stepping on the clouds, and she didn't know where she was going to fly.
His Majesty Hades was probably hinting at her just now! ? Is it implying her! ? is not it!
"Why did you bump into it suddenly?" Sheng Jiayan touched her nose with two fingers, wiping her nosebleed away.
Meng Qiqi didn't know what day it was today, she said, "I... I'm dizzy... "
Sheng Jiayan sighed helplessly, it would be inconvenient for her to do what he wanted next. He turned and crouched down in front of Meng Eqi: "Come up."
"Ah?" Meng Qiqi was a little at a loss.
"I'll carry you back."
Meng Eqi climbed onto his back confusedly, Sheng Jiayan weighed her on his back, and then walked forward steadily. The cool evening wind in late autumn blew through the two of them, Meng Eqi rested her chin on his shoulder and smelled the bitter fragrance of pine branches on Sheng Jiayan's body.
"Ayan, will I enter the cabinet after I understand Yuan?"
"Well," Sheng Jiayan responded indifferently: "Just now there was an intention in the palace, let me go to the cabinet tomorrow to record my case."
"Cabinet?" Meng Qiqi was a little surprised, the ministers in the Wenyuan Pavilion cabinet were equivalent to the emperor's cronies. Although Meng Qiqi had long known that her emperor's uncle had let down his guard, he did not expect that he would put Sheng Jiayan so close to the center of power.
Meng Eqi quietly looked at Sheng Jiayan's profile, and found that there was no excess emotion on his face, as if he was planning some ordinary plans with her. But Meng Qiqi knew that Sheng Jiayan had hatred in his heart, he was waiting for an opportunity, and even for so many years, it was to keep a low profile.
On one side is her uncle, who has spoiled her for more than ten years. On one side is His Majesty the King of Hell, who has a close relationship with her. For the first time, Meng Eqi felt that she was in trouble, and she didn't know how to choose between the two. She chose Sheng Jiayan, she was sorry for her uncle's care over the years, and chose the emperor's uncle, which was to betray His Majesty the King of Hell, and it was absolutely impossible for her to come.
Meng Qiqi is now a little awakened. She thought that Yuelao would let her go in this life, but who would have thought that she was waiting for her here and set up problems for both her and Sheng Jiayan.
So what is Sheng Jiayan thinking in his heart? What is he calculating
He had just had an accident at home and was despised by all the ministers in the court, but he had nothing and showed nothing. Or he kept silently in his heart, ruthlessly calculating everyone's thoughts.
What kind of role does Meng Qiqi himself play in his calculations
The road on the promenade is very short, but Meng Qiqi feels that the time is very long today. There are fireflies flying in the courtyard, which is rare in early autumn. They danced and circled around the flowers, and Meng Eqi felt at ease lying on Sheng Jiayan's shoulder.
But how long can this peace of mind last? Sheng Jiayan has really entered the imperial court. If there is no accident, he is likely to have participated in the struggle for power, and the next days will only be more cruel. Now under the calm and beautiful surface, more storms are brewing.
On the second day, Meng Tingsi and Sheng Jiayan had already woken up early to return to their lives. They were both juren from Xinzhong and wanted to accept the emperor's banquet.
Meng Qiqi went to greet the old lady Meng, and the old lady Meng asked the kitchen to bring her favorite golden red bean cake, and Meng Qiqi was very happy to eat it. Madam Meng winked at Madam Xu, and Madam Xu took out a food box at the right time: "Third sister, this is a snack brought to you by elder sister Liu Jia. It's only available in Yizhou! Red mud, can you taste it?"
Liu Ning asked someone to bring her snacks? Meng Eqi looked at the crimson snacks in the box. She remembered Liu Ning's attitude towards Sheng Jiayan last night, so she pouted, as if she was not satisfied.
The old lady Meng looked at everything, nodded, and Xu Ma put away the things.
She smiled and asked: "I usually like to be greedy for sweets, why do I seem to have no appetite today? Don't you like the desserts brought by Sister Liu's family?"
Meng Qiqi ate the last piece of red bean, took the handkerchief Yansha handed over and wiped her hands: "I don't know her well, so she gave me something for no reason, I don't want to take it. Grandmother is not always without merit. I don't get paid! I think the food that Liu Jiajie gave me is fake, but the second brother is the real one. I don't want to accept it if you eat people with short mouths and soft hands."
Mrs. Meng laughed a little: "Sister Liu is knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, why don't you like her? Even if she becomes your second sister-in-law, it's not bad according to her temperament and family background."
Meng Eqi was at a loss for words. She had to admit that Mrs. Meng was right. Liu Ning has a good family background, and her father and brother are all looking for jobs in the palace. If she marries Sheng Jiayan again, it will be the icing on the cake for Sheng Jiayan. And Liu Ning has a gentle temperament, so he must be a good helper.
Meng Qiqi couldn't find a reason to refute, but said, "I'm afraid that the second brother doesn't like it, and I'm still messing around with the red line, which is not good. The second brother hasn't expressed his position yet, and I can't accept Liu's sister's things, lest I When there is a misunderstanding, the second brother is not easy to explain."
Old Lady Meng's smile faded, she sighed inaudibly, and Madam Xu took the opportunity to let the rest of the maids back down.
"This kid Jiayan, I saw him once. At that time, people were stuffy and didn't say anything, even if you bullied him. It seems that he was deliberately forbearing at that time. It's just that you and he were such a child at the time, why did he deliberately hide it like that? Eiqi, don't blame your grandmother for being so talkative. Grandmother lived most of her life and knew that Brother Yan was by no means an ordinary person. He He has his own thoughts in his heart, and his background is like that. Although our family received him and let him enter the ultimatum, he is a different surname. You and he are not real brothers and sisters, but they have always been glued to each other. Together. You have reached the age of marriage, and it is the age to kiss, so grandmother hopes that you can keep some distance between men and women with your second brother in the future. This is to respect your second brother and yourself. "
Meng Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and immediately threw herself on the Luohan bed: "Grandmother, why is this happening all of a sudden? My second brother and I are ordinary brothers and sisters, and we don't usually behave too closely."
The old lady Meng didn't smile, but Meng Qiqi suddenly remembered the incident where she hugged Sheng Jiayan and kissed her yesterday. Presumably all the maids and wives saw it, and then someone came to tell Mrs. Meng.
She admitted that there was indeed some wrong feeling between her and Sheng Jiayan. But it's not as serious as Mrs. Meng's! She used to associate with Sheng Jiayan like this when she was in the underworld, and no one was wrong at that time! What's more, this time they are still brothers and sisters in name.
