"Little carrot head, guess what I brought you today?"
Suddenly, a voice was heard in the originally quiet Shuiyunju, which scared Li Shengyi so much that the chess piece in her hand accidentally dropped and landed in a place she had not originally intended to place it.
An expression of annoyance suddenly appeared on the little face that was slightly pink due to the silver carbon in the room.
She subconsciously reached out to pick up the chess piece, but was stopped by a big hand.
"Miss, there is no regret in making a move."
Li Shengyi's facial features suddenly wrinkled into buns. "That doesn't count. It's all Meng Jiuan's fault for scaring me. You knew I wasn't going to go down here!"
Meng Jiuan, who had just pushed the door open and had a silly smile on his face, suddenly stopped.
He clenched the pastry in his hand and gritted his teeth, "Shen Wangchen? Why are you here?"
You must know that Shen Wangchen is an aide to the Prime Minister's Mansion. He usually works for Qin Songmo and rarely appears in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It just so happened that he was not in the capital during this period, and it was said that Shen Wangchen was the one who took Little Radish Head to play.
Grinding his back teeth, Meng Jiuan quickly walked into the main hall, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea. "Are you not busy?"
Shen Wangchen is younger than Qin Songmo and Meng Jiuan, but his temperament is many times calmer than Meng Jiuan.
Seeing the other man's face showing all his emotions, he smiled and put down the chess piece in his hand. "That's not as busy as General Meng. General Meng left the court early, so why did he come out of the palace so late?"
【Oh~~~ I know this question! 】
Because Meng Jiuan had been ill for so long, Su Jinrou had been wronged in the palace and had no one to vent her frustrations to. Furthermore, the tyrant emperor had confined her to her home, so she had no choice but to seek help from Meng Jiuan!
After hearing Li Shengyi's thoughts, Shen Wangchen first raised his eyes to look at Meng Jiuan who was sitting opposite him, and after he withdrew his gaze, he smiled and said, "Miss, it's your turn."
Li Sheng saw that a few of his white pieces had been eaten again, and the resentful expression on his little face became even more intense.
What's going on? Since Meng Jiuan has already received Su Jinrou's 'favor', is he just showing off after having a full stomach?
Meng Jiuan just sat in his seat and felt his back was very heavy.
He glared at Shen Wangchen fiercely. If this man with a belly full of black water hadn't brought up the topic of the palace, how could the little carrot head think of him like this?
But the last word "grace" came up, and the little carrot head actually guessed all of them correctly.
The thought of how her pure body was almost defiled by Su Jinrou made her feel uncomfortable.
Meng Jiuan felt aggrieved again.
He gulped down a mouthful of tea, stood up and walked over to the two of them. Seeing that they were playing Gobang, he sneered, "Chen Wangchen, how old are you and you're still playing this? How childish of you!"
After saying that, he bent down again and took the little carrot head in front of him into his arms, saying in a deep voice, "Let's not play with him, lest he lowers our IQ."
Li Shengyi was about to struggle to break free from his embrace, [...Huh? Why does this sound so familiar?]
But before she could think about it, she saw Meng Jiuan holding her and sitting where he was.
The next moment, a package of hot pastries fell into her arms. "Open it quickly and see what delicious food I bought for you."
Li Shengyi has eaten a lot of pastries recently, so he can guess what kind of pastry is in his arms just by smelling it.
She moved her limbs and said, "Just give me food if you want. Why are you hugging me? It's not right for men and women to touch each other!"
In Meng Jiuan's eyes, Li Shengyi is already his little daughter.
He had never been favored since he was a child and was obsessed with revenge.
Now he was only one step away from successful revenge, when he met the little rascal Li Shengyi.
Although he would sometimes jump up in anger at her, in Meng Jiuan's view, he and she were no different.
He raised his hand and pinched her cheek, then he smiled and said, "How old are you? If I wanted to have a child, the child would be seven or eight years old."
"Don't worry, Chu Huaiyu and I are different. I treat you like my own daughter."
When Li Shengyi heard him mention Chu Huaiyu, her little face was stunned for a moment, and then she wrinkled her nose, "I don't have a father like you."
"Hey! What's wrong with me? It's so prestigious to have a father who's a great general who protects the country. I wouldn't even bother to look at anyone else who wants to claim me as their godfather. You little rascal, don't you know what's good for you, huh?"
Another pinch on the cheek.
Li Shengyi was already wrinkling his nose, and now his face wrinkled even more.
She raised her hand and slapped his rough palm away, saying, "Then go and adopt them as your adopted sons and daughters. Why are you looking at me?"
"You are always so impulsive. I don't want to pay for your impulsiveness in the future."
[He's also the ultimate love-brained guy, the kind that's hopeless once he meets Su Jinrou.]
"Look at Shen Wangchen. He only became a monk for Su Jinrou. But you, on the other hand, are forcing him to abdicate, and even my father is involved."
[You three are truly the love-brained trio.]
The smile on Meng Jiuan's face froze when he heard the voice of the person in his arms.
He first glanced at Shen Wangchen who was still studying the chess game on the side. When he looked away again, he saw him lower his head and whisper in the ear of the person in his arms.
"Well, I promise not to be impulsive next time, okay?"
"It's not that I'm late today. I wanted to tell you some good news, but I was stopped by the people from Qinghua Palace."
"I swear, today, Concubine Jin... wanted to do that to me, but I refused. I listened to your earnest advice before."
"Besides, two fathers are better than one. I have a lot of fun things in my house. Can I move them all over to you?"
"If the Prime Minister's Mansion can't hold it all, I can clear out a large yard for you in my house to store your fun things, okay?"
The great general who once fought bravely on the battlefield to protect the country had never been so humble.
Even though he was almost taken hostage by the Huns, he never lowered his head.
Now he is willing to bow his head for a five-year-old child.
Li Shengyi's eyes twitched slightly as he listened to his coaxing words.
I raised my finger and pointed at the tip of my nose, and then I heard her say, "Do I look like someone who can be fooled easily?"
"But what's the good news you're talking about? Could it be..."
"I heard from Yuan Qing that Chu Huaiyu bullied you at Huguo Temple. I was so angry that I went and cut off his evil roots."
When Meng Jiuan said this, there was a hint of arrogance in his tone.
In the entire capital, who else can be as brave and resourceful as Meng Jiuan, who dares to sneak into the Second Prince’s mansion in the middle of the night and directly kill the other party?
The man's eyes fell on Li Shengyi, with a flattering smile on his face.
Just like a big golden retriever just waiting for the reward.
Li Shengyi retracted his gaze, shook his head and sighed, "You are still very impulsive."
Meng Jiuan: ...
