In Prince Cheng's mansion, Princess Cheng was half leaning on the chaise longue, her brows slightly furrowed, her face a little pale, revealing that she was sleep deprived.
Meng Zhi carefully picked out the watermelon seeds from the crystal plate, then used a small silver fork to pick up the tip of the watermelon and handed it to Princess Cheng with both hands.
Princess Cheng sighed and ate. "Luckily, I have you. Those shallow-eyed people, once the prince looked at them, became arrogant beyond measure. Especially that bitch, she even licked the prince. Humph, wait until the prince's interest in her wears off, and then I'll show you how I'll deal with her."
Meng Zhi put the fork back on the plate, took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid and wiped her hands. "It's just a toy. Princess, there's no need to spend so much time on it. It will grow up eventually."
Princess Cheng straightened up slightly. "Yes, I see her breasts are swelling. I'm afraid it happened this year."
"Yes, let her jump around. Princess, just watch the fun." Meng Zhi stood up and slightly closed the window opposite Princess Cheng. "Although it's warm now, it's been raining a lot recently. Don't let her get soaked in the moisture. Your birthday is coming soon. If you feel unwell, don't tell them to complain."
Princess Cheng sat up and said, "Come and sit down." There was tenderness in her voice.
Meng Zhi walked back obediently and sat next to Princess Cheng. Princess Cheng reached out and gently tucked her scattered hair behind her ears. "You are a good person,"
"I am grateful for the princess's kindness. Ever since the prince stopped entering my room, if it weren't for the princess's constant care, how could I have been so respectful to him? And these newcomers dared to contradict you. There is no need to say how they usually target me." Meng Zhi's eyes were slightly moist, and her words were full of sincerity.
Princess Cheng patted Meng Zhi's hand and said, "Don't be sad. Although the prince doesn't enter your room, he still values you. Look at all the concubines in this mansion. Who can go home when something happens? Only you have been back to the Huainan Marquis' Mansion many times, and the prince has even taken time to accompany you."
Meng Zhi's heart skipped a beat as she thought about how she'd bought those chances. Not only did her heart ache, but her lower body also felt a dull ache. Prince Cheng, that pervert, had gathered these tools from who knows where. She endured it, smiled, and even tried to please him, figuring out how to make him enjoy using them. Only in this way could she prevent Prince Cheng from forgetting her and finally have a chance. Only by persevering and enduring, waiting for the opportunity, and achieving her goal, would she not care even if it cost her life.
"You still haven't figured out who said it was your birthday?" Meng Zhi asked softly after calming down.
Princess Cheng slapped the armrest of the chaise longue, "It's nothing more than a stick of firewood or a smiling tiger."
The stick that Princess Cheng mentioned is Princess Duan, and the smiling tiger is Princess Jing.
"That sticky girl has been targeting Meng for a while now. The smiling tiger has been coming back to her mother's house quite a bit because of the joke she made when her third brother's wife came into the family. I didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect the Emperor to find out about my birthday and even express dissatisfaction with the Empress over it, saying she doesn't care about her daughter-in-law. The Prince also lost his temper with me without asking any questions. What kind of thing is this?"
"Who said it wasn't?" Meng Zhi looked at the angry Princess Cheng. "Even if you want to pass on a message to the Emperor, you have to do it. Everyone in Kunning Palace obeys our Prince's orders. At the very least, there's the Empress. How can they all listen to your orders? Besides, I've heard that even the Empress can't easily go to Chengtian Palace."
"That's right, everyone is jealous of me. You don't know what the prince looked like when he came back and slammed the table at me that day. He kept saying that I couldn't help him and would only hinder him. Humph, it's true that I couldn't help him, but I won't admit that I was hindering him. Among all these people, there are those who are hindering the King of Rui more than the one in the Rui Palace. And now he's complaining about me. What's the logic behind it?"
After saying that, he clapped his hands again and said, "When I find a chance, I will definitely find out which of them it is. When I find another chance, I will definitely pay them back a hundredfold."
Meng Zhi heard that Meng Qi didn't say anything. She didn't know whether Meng Qi could understand what she said to Meng Wan when she took the opportunity to talk to her last time when she went to Huainan Marquis' Mansion. Now she really had no other choice but to grab this opportunity.
The Prince Cheng's Mansion is surrounded by high walls and a large courtyard. Even if she has many abilities and information, it will be useless without capable people outside. Therefore, she must find someone to cooperate with, and someone who is capable of cooperation.
From what she had heard from Prince Cheng's residence, what she had her brother gather, and what she had observed at the Marquis of Huainan's residence, she had zeroed in on Meng Wan and Meng Qi. Her analysis suggested Meng Qi's current situation was closely connected to Meng Hai's family, or perhaps her relationship with Hong Zhe was a setup by Liu and Meng Juan. Given this, if Meng Qi wasn't a fool, she wouldn't let Meng Hai scheme against her.
But she never had the chance to meet Meng Qi. Although Meng Wan only showed surprise last time, she really didn't know whether she conveyed her meaning. If not, what should she do?
So, when she heard that Princess Cheng was going to hold a birthday party, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep well all night. Her first feeling was that Meng Qi knew what she was thinking, and this must be the result of a discussion between Meng Wan and Meng Qi.
But after hearing what Princess Cheng said just now, she felt that it was not possible. Even Princess Cheng did not have such ability. How could Meng Qi, who was not even valued by Prince Rui, have such ability?
But no matter who it was, or whether it was just a sudden whim of the Emperor, as long as the goal was achieved, it was fine. His first priority now was to coax Princess Cheng into a good mood so that he could have more time to appear in front of everyone that day, so that he could have a chance to talk to Meng Qi.
"Perhaps it's not actually a palace matter."
Princess Cheng shifted her plump body and looked up at Meng Zhi, "What do you mean?"
