Then Meng Li closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
When he woke up in the morning, he heard a quiet knock on the door. Meng Li released his mental power and saw Pang Qijing standing furtively at the door.
"Come in." Meng Li sat up.
Pang Qijing opened the door carefully, apparently unwilling to wake up the maid sleeping next to Meng Li.
Then he closed the door like a thief. When he closed the door, he still looked outside. It was not yet bright outside.
"Sister..." She closed the door and looked at Meng Li leaning on the pillow with a look.
Pang Qijing said he was almost fifteen years old, but in this era, one could get married at the age of fifteen.
The client is the eldest daughter, she is over sixteen years old, and her marriage is still undecided. There are many choices, making it difficult to make a decision. In addition, there are various factors to consider and various interests to weigh.
After the lady gave birth to these two daughters, she had no more children. There were only these two legitimate daughters, and the rest were concubines.
Following Pang Qijing in making noise, there were four concubines, all about the same age as Pang Qijing.
The main wife gave birth to two daughters in a row, and the concubine also gave birth to a daughter. In those years, Pang Ziming had children like crazy. At that time, several were pregnant at the same time, and all of them turned out to be daughters.
Later children were born intermittently, otherwise there would be more than a dozen daughters now.
For now, each concubine should start with at least two daughters.
Pang Qijing looks elegant and graceful, and he doesn't have the temperament of Xiaojiabiyu. For some reason, he even gives people a refreshing feeling.
Perhaps this temperament was inherited from Pang Ziming.
"You come so early in the morning, what are you going to do?" Meng Li said calmly, with the air of an eldest sister.
Pang Qijing stuck out his tongue: "Sister, you understand."
Meng Li asked coldly: "What do I know?"
"Eldest sister!" Pang Qijing stamped his feet and said dissatisfiedly: "Eldest sister just promised me yesterday that I would tell my mother that I am here with you today."
"You've changed your mind now, haven't you?"
Meng Li nodded: "Yes."
Pang Qijing refused to eat last night and insisted that the client promise to cover her early this morning.
Because today Xiao Zhou is going to the east of the city to carry out poverty alleviation activities. In fact, he is taking things to express condolences to the poor people, that is, to show off to everyone and make others think that he is kind and loving.
So Pang Qijing insisted on going, but neither his wife nor the general allowed her to go out. She came up with a way to ask the client to tell her family that she had been staying here, and then find a way to sneak out.
Madam believes the client's words more, after all, this eldest daughter has always performed very well.
The client felt sorry for his sister but couldn't defeat her, so he could only agree to deceive her family with her.
The client agreed, but she didn't expect that Pang Qijing would become so crazy later. After all, she had only made a fuss at home once, saying that she wanted to marry Xiao Zhou. She didn't make a second fuss if her family didn't agree, and she hadn't blatantly treated Xiao Zhou yet. Zhou said something like I must marry you.
Now I just try to have as much contact with Xiao Zhou as possible, and I am at the stage of building up my favorability in front of others.
The later client also regretted his indulgence of Pang Qijing at that time. If he had cut off her thoughts early, there would not have been so many tragedies.
"Sister, how can you say you changed your mind and then died?" Pang Qijing's face became even more unhappy.
Meng Li: "Do I need a reason to change my mind?"
"Don't you need it? You have to give me an explanation." Pang Qijing took a deep breath, with annoyance on his brows.
Meng Li: "Elder sister, when did I need to give you an explanation for what I did? It's wrong for you to secretly leave the house. I can't continue to condone you."
"I want to avoid being discovered by my parents, implicated by you, and scolded."
"So you are just afraid of trouble and getting scolded." Pang Qijing snorted and made a face at Meng Li:
"A scared coward."
Meng Li laughed angrily when he saw her like this and said, "Yes."
"But how can I get out?" Pang Qijing became anxious.
If my mother asked me about her when I was greeting her, and if my sister didn't say that she was here, my mother would definitely send someone to look for her, and then she might be brought back by people from the mansion before she even saw Xiao Zhou.
Meng Li said calmly: "I'm not going out."
"No, I must go out. I want to see Xiao Zhou. If I don't see him for a day, I will go crazy." Pang Qijing sat beside Meng Li's bed angrily, grabbing the quilt with his hands, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. It looked like he was because of The eldest sister was very angry at her change of heart, but she couldn't bear to get angry.
Meng Li glanced at it and looked away. She said:
"Xiao Zhou is also a prince of a country, so the girl he likes must have the demeanor of a lady. Not to mention your current behavior, even ordinary women are not as unreserved as you."
"But Xiao Zhou doesn't hate me either." Pang Qijing immediately retorted.
Meng Li smiled. The legitimate daughter of General Pang Pang, Xiao Zhou had to remain polite on the surface no matter what. In Xiao Zhou's country, General Pang Pang led his troops to conquer Xiao Zhou's country.
Even if Xiao Zhou couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't dare to say harsh words to Pang Qijing, so he could only politely reject her over and over again.
Xiao Zhou was probably too confident in his appearance, so he had been pinning his hopes on the princess, hoping to marry a princess from a great country. He also made a desperate bet, giving up the Pang family girls and placing his bet on the princess.
Although the bet failed in the end.
Still, he didn't work hard enough, his charm wasn't that great, and he couldn't make the princess swoon.
Speaking of this, the princess didn't have a bad impression of Xiao Zhou at first. On the contrary, she had a good impression, otherwise she wouldn't have had so much contact with him.
It's just that Pang Qijing entangled Xiao Zhou too tightly, which made the princess hesitant. The princess was kind-hearted. She felt that Pang Qijing was so infatuated with him. If she really married Xiao Zhou, she would be depriving others of her love, and she felt a little sorry.
In addition, the emperor actually did not agree with the matter between Xiao Zhou and the princess.
The princess is much more rational than Pang Qijing. She was born into a royal family and has more far-reaching considerations.
Presumably later in the plot, when the princess learned that Pang Qijing committed suicide for Xiao Zhou, she was deeply grateful that she had not chosen Xiao Zhou. Otherwise, if they got married, Pang Qijing would probably have to commit suicide as well.
Getting married will cost a few lives, but the key is that these lives are not other people's lives.
"When people are polite, just pretend they like you. Why are you so ignorant?" Meng Li looked at Pang Qijing with an angry face and spoke without mercy.
"Sister, you can't break your promise." Pang Qijing frowned tightly:
"Just promise me, I won't be able to run into him if I don't go."
"Please, please?" Since you are asking for help from others, it's better to hold in your anger and act coquettishly.
"I know that eldest sister loves me the most. If I don't see him today, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat or drink water." She pulled Meng Li's quilt and stared at Meng Li expectantly.
