Time flew by and the day came in a blink of an eye. Meng Li and Pang Qijing were on the lake early. They rented a small boat and watched Xiao Zhou appear on the lake from a distance.
Then the princess appeared by the lake. They talked for a while by the lake, and the princess hid her face and smiled from time to time.
"Did he specially ask the princess out?" Pang Qijing murmured upon seeing this.
From their familiar encounter, Pang Qijing vaguely understood.
Meng Li said: "Yes."
Now Pang Qijing still doesn't know that Xiao Zhou's target is the princess.
Now I know that it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable, but I don't know if she will still have the same fighting spirit as in the plot.
Xiao Zhou and the princess got on the boat. Their boat was relatively large, and there were only a few scattered boats on the lake. Their boat easily met Meng Li and the others.
"Lingqing, Xiao Jing'er?" The princess saw the two people on the boat and greeted them quickly.
They were standing and chatting on the boat. Xiao Zhou even gave an embarrassed fake cough when he saw Meng Li and Pang Qijing.
"Come, come up, let's swim in the lake together." The princess warmly invited them.
Pang Qijing looked at Meng Li and said with a bad expression: "Sister, I don't want to go up."
"When the princess invites you, of course she has to give you this face." Meng Li said to her in a low voice.
"No, I don't want to see him." Pang Qijing was a little hurt. What was she doing there? Was she going to see Xiao Zhou get along with the princess
"What are you still waiting for? Come quickly." The princess said again.
She didn't know at this time that Pang Qijing liked Xiao Zhou very much. Although she had heard that Pang Qijing seemed to be interested in Xiao Zhou before, many women in the capital were like this. They were only infatuated with Xiao Zhou's handsome appearance for a while, but they stopped after a while.
In addition, Pang Qijing hasn't made any news recently.
Meng Li took Pang Qijing aboard the princess's ship regardless of whether she wanted to or not.
The boatman he was on had to be rowed back.
Their boat was much more gorgeous and was prepared by Xiao Zhou. Seeing that they had actually come aboard, Xiao Zhou could only say hello to them in embarrassment.
After greeting each other, they fell into silence. The princess felt that the atmosphere was strange, so she took the initiative to find a topic to talk about, but the atmosphere quickly eased.
Xiao Zhou thought for a while, Pang Qijing happened to be here, so he might as well be special to the princess, so that Pang Qijing could understand his feelings and stop wasting time on himself.
Then, Xiao Zhou was not so enthusiastic and considerate towards the princess, so he did it very deliberately in order to make Pang Qijing give up.
During the whole process, he almost only talked to the princess and Meng Li, but not much to Pang Qijing. He just watched Pang Qijing's expression getting worse and worse.
On the way home, Pang Qijing cried all the way.
After crying at home, Meng Li followed her into her room and watched her fall on the bed and cry hard, sobbing desperately.
Meng Li said: "Why are you so sad?"
"Shouldn't I be sad? You see, he treats the princess differently than he treats me." Pang Qijing's eyes turned red, and he stood up and stared at Meng Li again.
Meng Li: "You finally discovered it."
"What do you mean I finally found out? I found out early on." Pang Qijing said dissatisfied: "Why? You are so special to the princess."
"Maybe because he likes the princess." Meng Li said.
Pang Qijing was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it. This also made Meng Li stupid. She said, "Can't you see that Prince Xiao seems to like the princess more?"
"He is so deliberately trying to please the princess. He even plays the piano for her on the boat and writes poems for her. But he doesn't want to say a word to you."
So obvious.
In fact, Meng Li was somewhat grateful to Xiao Zhou. He knew exactly what he wanted and would not hang around Pang Qijing like a scumbag.
He also did this deliberately to make her less entangled.
"Oh, I like it." Pang Qijing said, "In order to please the people he likes, he hurts the people who like him?"
Meng Li: "I think they are right. If they don't like you, you have made it clear."
"I don't believe it, unless he tells me personally that he likes the princess but doesn't like me." Pang Qijing felt particularly uncomfortable. Why
She accepted his imperfections, but he didn't like himself yet.
At this moment, Pang Qijing felt that the world was not worth it.
There was also a moment when I felt that Xiao Zhou was not worthy.
Meng Li said nothing.
In the days that followed, Meng Li took Pang Qijing with him to secretly spy on Xiao Zhou all the time. In fact, sometimes people are very careless. If you look at him more, you will get bored easily, and it is easy to see his ordinaryness and ordinaryness.
After understanding his ordinaryness and ordinaryness, his handsome face gradually lost a lot of appeal. After seeing many beautiful things, he will feel ordinary, and the surprise when he first saw him will be much less.
Meng Li let Pang Qijing watch enough. Pang Qijing didn't understand how the eldest sister could find Xiao Zhou anytime and anywhere.
Moreover, during this period, Xiao Zhou launched a fierce offensive against the princess, and Pang Qijing saw it.
She always feels that she is not worth it and insists that it is a great thing for her to accept Xiao Zhou's shortcomings. She subconsciously feels that she is great in this matter, so why should Xiao Zhou not appreciate it.
She even said to Meng Li: "He actually wants to marry the Sixth Princess. Is the Sixth Princess the one he should covet?"
Meng Li laughed when he heard what she said.
"It turns out that in your heart, Prince Xiao is no longer worthy of the Sixth Princess."
In the plot, Pang Qijing never said it so straightforwardly.
In fact, at that time, I just felt that their identities were not equal, but now I feel that others are not worthy either.
"The sixth princess is the emperor's favorite princess, and over there..." Pang Qijing frowned: "The emperor does not want the princess to marry far away."
Meng Li said earnestly: "Actually, my parents don't want to see you marry far away. Why do you want to marry so far away because of such a person?"
"But I still like him very much." Pang Qijing lowered his head and spoke softly.
There is no firmness and confidence as before.
Her love wavered.
"If you like him, go and confess to him. Don't delay. If he agrees, I will help you convince dad and the others. If he doesn't agree, let's try to accept other men, okay?" Meng Li saw that Pang Qijing was very excited now. Not bad, her voice is much gentler, and she plays the role of a good sister.
Pang Qijing hesitated: "Will you really help me? If he agrees."
Meng Li nodded: "Yes, because you haven't made things ugly now."
After he came, Pang Qijing did not appear next to Xiao Zhou all day long, nor did he chase after him to make others laugh.
Not to mention dragging the concubines out together to embarrass themselves, the reputation of the women in the General's Mansion is still there.
They all took Pang Qijing to secretly observe Xiao Zhou near Xiao Zhou. Those people did not see Pang Qijing beside Xiao Zhou. After a long time, they probably thought that Pang Qijing no longer liked Xiao Zhou.
Just like many ignorant little girls, they just take advantage of that momentary novelty.
