The color of the tea in the teacup in my hand is even clearer than before.
Qin Songmo blew on the slightly hot tea. When he saw ripples in the tea soup with his dark pupils, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Meng Jiuan was sitting opposite him. Seeing his indifferent expression, Meng Jiuan couldn't help but tighten his fingers around the wine glass.
"How is it? Have you thought it through?"
"It is true that His Majesty instructed His Royal Highness to do this. Even if rumors spread, as long as His Royal Highness takes good care of the victims, nothing will go wrong."
"Qin Songmo, Jinrou couldn't eat or sleep because of this. Are you willing to let her be... bullied all the time?"
The deliberately lowered voice sounded again in the tea room.
When Meng Jiuan said this, he glanced at Li Shengyi who was sitting on the couch not far away and playing with chess pieces.
Seeing that the other party was having fun, he breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and whispered to his friend.
"Just think of it as a plea from me, okay? If you ever ask me to do something again in the future, I won't refuse and will do it for you directly."
After hearing what he said, Qin Songmo finally put down the teacup in his hand and looked up to meet his eyes.
The man's face was calm, like an ancient well. No matter what happened, it would not cause any ripples in him.
"Chang Xiao, you should understand that His Majesty is not in good health right now, and if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince makes a wrong move, he will be criticized."
"I know you hate it... I won't do anything."
With a bang, Meng Jiuan slammed the table and stood up, "Okay, okay, you're really not good at taking action."
"So even if the Prime Minister doesn't take action, you'll still get all the benefits, right?"
"Jinrou admires you, the prince trusts you, so what am I, Meng Jiuan, to? I'm just a knife in your hand, right?"
"Call me and I'll send you away, right? You know I'm in love with Jinrou, and since you won't do anything, I'll do it myself!"
Li Shengyi was still fiddling with the chess pieces on the chessboard.
The sudden slamming of the table startled her so much that she dropped the chess piece in her hand.
She raised her head and glanced at Meng Jiuan, who was red-faced and angry not far away. She immediately got off the couch and ran to the tea table with her short legs.
"Daddy, what's wrong?"
Qin Songmo saw her running over and pushed the pea yellow lamp in front of her. "Nothing, are you done playing? Let me take you back to rest."
Little Baozi just recovered from a serious illness and went out today. I wonder if he caught a cold.
Just as Qin Songmo was about to stand up, Meng Jiuan, who was standing opposite him, suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.
"Qin Songmo, if you don't help, then the friendship between you and me will be..."
He didn't finish his words.
But Qin Songmo was not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning of his words.
He raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, and his thin lips opened slightly.
[No way? We were good brothers who had been through thick and thin together, and we're going to break up just because of Su Jinrou?]
[You deserve to live shorter than my father. Although my father's intelligence drops when he sees Su Jinrou, his IQ is still normal on weekdays. It's you, however, who always feels pity for Su Jinrou and wants to help her.]
[It's a good thing my father didn't help you and Su Jinrou this time.]
[You're not good at scheming, after all. This time, you helped Su Jinrou do something bad, but before you even finished, the Emperor discovered it. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, what a miserable death!]
Meng Jiuan slammed his hands on the tea table with his fingers curled up.
He thought about the time when he first met Li Shengyi not long ago, when the other party said he would die.
At that time he was still very disdainful. He became famous in one battle when he was young. Even after he returned to the capital, few people in the entire capital could match him.
But now...
"Changxiao, don't act impulsively. I can't stop you from doing anything you want. The locust plague is causing quite a stir, and His Majesty has been keeping an eye on it."
Qin Songmo's face was stern, and he kindly reminded his friend, "You are the general, and she is the imperial concubine. The two of you are destined to be impossible."
Li Shengyi is not even as tall as the tea table.
At this moment, he was leaning on the tea table, listening to Qin Songmo's teachings, and nodded, "That's right."
Seeing the father and daughter in front of him singing the same tune, Meng Jiuan tightened his fingers again after just loosening them.
He took a deep breath, turned around and left the tea room without saying a word.
"close the door."
The door of the tea room was flung open.
Qin Songmo frowned, used his wide sleeves to cover the entire face of the person next to him, and spoke in a deep voice.
Meng Jiuan, who had just walked out of the tea room, took two steps forward angrily after hearing this.
Finally he stopped, turned around and quickly returned to the door of the tea room. He snorted heavily and closed the door forcefully.
Li Shengyi: ...
"Dad, if you make friends like this, won't your IQ be lowered?"
Qin Songmo moved his wide sleeves away and shook his head when he heard that. "I don't know, maybe."
The answer was so formal that Li Shengyi couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"Haha, hahahaha..."
"Dad, you're so good at telling jokes."
In the original plot setting, Meng Jiuan is devoted to Su Jinrou, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a loyal dog.
Qin Songmo is not so irrational, but his intelligence is forced to be lowered when facing Su Jinrou.
Now he said that Meng Jiuan might lower his IQ.
Li Shengyi's smile was so severe that his teeth were visible, leaving Qin Songmo confused for a moment.
"why are you laughing?"
Li Shengyi shook his head, the smile on his face only growing, "Daddy Xiao, you have great wisdom!"
Qin Songmo, "...I always feel like you are calling me stupid."
Especially when he saw the pig's head on the chessboard.
