Meng Zhi had combed her hair again. When she saw Princess Cheng come in, she was about to step forward to pay her respects. Princess Cheng grabbed her and said, "I'm sorry for wronging you."
Meng Zhi shook her head. "How could that be? It's my fault for not handling the situation properly. I've ruined the princess's wedding day."
"It's not your fault. The blockage was caused by Meng Qitian. I just came up with an idea to avenge you."
"Ah, Princess Rui has just changed clothes for me. Isn't this already reported?"
"That's nothing. We must let her know the price of running wild in our house. When you return to the Octagonal Pavilion, if Prince Rui asks you anything, or if our prince asks you anything, just say this..."
Meng Zhi listened with her eyes wide open. Was this Princess Cheng's idea? Or the prince's? Or someone else's? So many people were thinking about Meng Qi.
"That's not good. After all, she is the princess. Besides, will Prince Rui agree?"
"Are you afraid that she hates you?" Princess Cheng asked with a smile.
Meng Zhi waved her hand. "How could that be? Even if I didn't do anything, based on what happened today, she still wouldn't treat me well."
"Then do as I say. Let's go. The prince is very worried about you. If it doesn't work out today, I'll ask the prince to love you tomorrow."
Meng Zhi showed an embarrassed expression and followed Princess Cheng obediently.
------
Yuan Dong, sitting in the carriage, looked at Meng Qi with her eyes slightly narrowed. She wanted to say something but because Ms. Li was sitting there, she didn't say a word.
Ms. Li was thinking about what had just happened in the octagonal pavilion. They came back first, and Princess Duan didn't know what she said to them. She looked at Meng Qi with a smug look on her face.
The Crown Princess was worried and came up to Meng Qi, holding her hand and talking for a long time. Meng Qi looked at the Crown Princess with no regard for her. She lowered her head and looked very aggrieved. Not knowing what the Crown Princess said, Meng Qi turned to look at Prince Rui.
Prince Rui has been staring at Meng Qi since he came back. His calm face shows no emotion, but just looking at her like that makes Ms. Li feel uneasy, thinking that there might be another war when the two of them go back tonight.
After a while, Princess Cheng returned with Meng Zhi. Everyone came forward to express their concern. Prince Cheng even walked up to her personally and straightened her hairpin.
After such a commotion, the play could naturally no longer be watched. The troupe had been sent away. Princess Cheng smiled and took Meng Zhi's hand and asked her if she really should bow to express her gratitude for the arrangement that Prince Rui had just made.
Before Meng Zhi could say anything, Song Chengze came over and said softly, "I'm sorry, it's all my wife's fault. I apologize to you here."
Meng Zhi waved her hands repeatedly, "Your Highness, please excuse me. It is my fault that I did not serve the princess well." After saying that, she bowed to Song Chengze.
Princess Duan, who had been silent for a long time, saw Meng Qi standing there with an unconvinced look on her face and said with a smile, "Sixth brother, your apology is just verbal."
Princess Cheng was afraid that Princess Duan would do something bad when she heard Princess Cheng's words, but before she could say anything, Meng Qi raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will bring a cart full of gifts later. When the time comes, I will also write a gift list for you to review so that you can rest assured."
Princess Duan laughed heartily, "Sixth brother's wife, are you trying to show off the wealth of your Rui Palace?"
Meng Qi raised an eyebrow, but turned back to look at Prince Duan, "Could it be that Second Brother's family is very poor?"
Prince Duan was just putting the snuff bottle under his nose and sniffing it when he saw his wife jumping out to speak again. He was even more furious. This woman was really not good enough to help, but only bad. Just now, he saw her talking to the fifth wife, and then she left.
At this moment, before Princess Cheng even opened her mouth, she was already making a scene again. She had to tell her mother that this was a critical moment, and she had to find a reason to confine her and not let her out. But if that happened, some of the arrangements would still require this idiot to cover up, which was really worrying.
Just as he was thinking about it, Meng Qi unexpectedly turned to him and spoke, her beautiful eyes full of provocation and disdain. Why did he like seeing Meng Qi's arrogant look so much?
Hearing Meng Qi's question, Prince Duan's bad mood suddenly disappeared. He smiled slightly and walked over to Song Chengze. "Look at you, you don't usually take me and my sister to visit other families. Maybe you don't even know which way the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion opens." Then he shrugged at Meng Qi and said, "Is my second brother's family poor? I'd like my sister and my sister to do me a favor and make a judgment. How about it?"
Princess Duan looked at the way Prince Duan and Meng Qi spoke. If she didn't know, she would just think it was a conversation with hidden meanings, but she knew the little interest and pride in Prince Duan's words.
"Sixth brother, I think just sending gifts as an apology is not enough." Princess Duan said loudly.
Song Chengze looked at Prince Cheng helplessly, "It was Meng who was abrupt today and ruined Fifth Sister-in-law's interest. I will prepare wine at home another day and invite you brothers to come."
Then he looked at Princess Duan and said, "Please advise me, sister-in-law, what else should I do?"
"What she does is none of her business. The person involved hasn't said anything yet. Why should she..." Before Meng Qi could finish her words, Song Chengze said coldly, "Ms. Meng, there are some things I think it's not appropriate to say here."
Meng Qi looked at Song Chengze's gaze, thought for a moment and shut up, but she tugged at the handkerchief in her hand with an unhappy look on her face.
Princess Duan's mood brightened again. "Today's matter could be big or small. In my opinion, if Sixth Sister-in-law is sincere, how about imitating my original situation?"
------
"You performed very well today and embarrassed Meng. I'll credit you with this great achievement." Princess Cheng said lazily while lying on the chaise longue.
Meng Zhi half-knelt there, gently tapping Princess Cheng's leg with the jade hammer in her hand. "Your Highness, you are too kind. I treated Meng Shi this way partly out of selfish motives. I dare not hide it from you, nor do I say those nice words to deceive you. You know best how I came to the palace, and how I caused the Meng family to be destroyed. Your Highness knows it all. If it weren't for you, my Highness, during the time when my father passed away, I don't know what I would be like now. Although I have been favored by the prince and princess several times, I have never felt as happy as today."
