Before she could even utter the word "I", Meng Li interrupted her: "Princess, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is that now that you have achieved military merit, you can ask my father for a favor."
The implication was obvious: he should talk to the emperor about the princess.
Yan Funing sighed secretly.
Ever since Bei Qi came to Beijing and talked about the marriage, Nan Yao seemed like a different person. Or maybe, as her sister said, a person's innate personality also played a big part in the reason.
Or maybe Nan Yao has always treated Ali as a backup.
I just don't know what will happen to these two parties in the future. It's really a headache...
At this moment, Meng Li smiled and said, "Serving the country is our mission. How can I rashly ask the emperor for a favor?"
Fu Nanyao was anxious: "Can't we just start over?"
Meng Li said bluntly, "No, how can I be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Ali, you have changed." Fu Nanyao took a step back.
"No, I haven't changed. It's you who has changed." Meng Li's smile remained unchanged, and something sparkled in his eyes. "I just want a woman who is completely devoted to me, not someone who can be summoned and dismissed at will, treating me like a piece of shit."
"Princess, you are so high and mighty. Even if I have military merit, I am still not worthy of you."
"And I have long been aware of myself. Princess, please understand that our statuses are too different to be together."
"No!" Fu Nanyao shook her head. "I know you were so brave in killing the enemy this time, and my father will reward you. You are already a general, and your future career will surely be smooth. How can you not be a match for me?"
Seeing that his words were useless, Meng Li simply grabbed Cai Shi's hand.
"I already have a sweetheart, and that is Miss Caishi in front of me."
Cai Shi’s eyes widened.
How come she doesn't know?
He was confused and looked at his young lady.
Yan Funing was also confused.
The master and servant exchanged glances, which was seen by Fu Nanyao.
"Meng Li, you're actually trying to fool me with a slave?"
"I'm not trying to evade you. I've been hurt before, and Miss Caishi is so humorous and witty. She's the one who helped me out of this dark time."
"What a great way to get out of the haze."
Fu Nanyao sneered and left with a flick of his sleeves.
After she walked away, Meng Li stood up and bowed deeply to Cai Shi: "I am Meng Wang, please forgive me, young lady!"
"It's okay, it's okay." Cai Shi waved her hand, helped him up with one hand, and continued to apply ointment on his face with the other hand. "I touched your face, so what if you grabbed my hand?"
As he spoke, his face turned red unconsciously.
After applying the ointment, Meng Li shed tears towards Yan Funing: "Sister-in-law, Nan Yao doesn't have me in her heart. She only has me in her heart."
"Don't cry, don't cry." Yan Funing didn't know how to persuade him. "The ointment is very expensive. If you cry like this, won't it be a waste of tears?"
Only then did Meng Li burst into laughter.
Fu Nanyao hurried out of Prince Rui's mansion.
Just as he was about to board the carriage, Lu Wenfeng came over and said, "Greetings, Princess."
"Why are you here at my brother's house?"
"Your Highness will soon be appointed Crown Prince. As a good friend, I should naturally come and offer congratulations."
Fu Nanyao pondered and said, "Master Lu is not married yet, right?"
"Indeed not." Lu Wenfeng sighed with a smile, "It's a pity that Her Royal Highness and I are not destined to be together."
Fu Nanyao snorted and stepped into the carriage.
Lu Wenfeng raised his eyebrows and walked into Prince Rui's mansion.
Some people's identities and personalities have changed, and they have become difficult to get along with.
During this period of time, he finally understood that there are only a few close friends in a person's life.
When he already has good friends like Ci Yi and Fu Ning, what else could he ask for?
From now on, he would be satisfied as long as he could find a virtuous and considerate woman to be his wife.
When he thought about Ci Yi being made the Crown Prince and Fu Ning becoming the Crown Princess, he couldn't help but shake his head as he walked.
When he got to Yan Funing, he saw Meng Li crying.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you've already achieved a lot of military merit, but you're still crying. How shameless!"
As Lu Wenfeng cursed, Fu Ciyi and Fu Beimo came over from the study next door.
"Have you cried?" Fu Ciyi asked in confusion.
Meng Li was too embarrassed to explain, and the colorful stones spoke in a crackling manner, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
"Promising." Fu Ciyi lifted his robe and sat down. "Cai Shi is pretty good. I'll let her be yours in the future."
Meng Li was stunned: "Isn't this bad?"
Firstly, His Highness did not stand on his sister's side, nor did he blame him; secondly, he actually wanted to point the colored stone to him.
"I, I can't let Miss Caishi down."
After all, there was someone else in my heart.
Cai Shi blushed and asked loudly, "Your Highness, are you really going to offer me such a good marriage?"
"If you let this kid come out of the shadows, he will be yours." Fu Ciyi said directly.
Cai Shi chuckled foolishly: "Great!"
Lu Wenfeng said, "Ci Yi, Fu Ning, I haven't married a wife yet."
Fu Beimo sneered, "How shameless! I didn't do that either. Did I say that? Our brothers who fought alongside us didn't do that either. Did they say that?"
Fu Ciyi turned his cold gaze towards Lu Wenfeng: "What are you doing here?"
"I came to say congratulations!"
Just as he finished speaking, Long Chi'an's voice came from the door: "Fu Ning, I'm fine."
Yan Funing greeted him, "Alright?"
"Yeah!" Long Chi'an walked over quickly. "When the war was almost over, they gave me all the unused medicine. I ate everything I could eat, and for the ones I couldn't eat directly, I boiled them and drank them."
Yan Funing reached out and felt his pulse: "He's really better now."
Fu Ciyi glanced at Long Chi'an and asked, "What are you doing here again?"
