Meng Qi was so delicious eating crab dumplings that she was reminded of Meng Wan's words, "It's so delicious that it makes your eyebrows fall off." She really didn't expect that Song Chengze would actually take her to see Meng Wei off.
When she was riding in the carriage driven by Song Chengze's men, she put her hand on her forehead. The white snow reflected the sunlight, making her squint her eyes instantly.
This showed us outside the city. In front was a straight official road, with a row of houses on the side. There were many horses outside, and people were standing there greeting each other.
Before she could ask Song Chengze where this was, she heard Meng Wei's surprised voice, "Sister Qi, why are you here?"
Meng Qi turned around and saw Meng Wei walking towards them with a smile on his face, showing his white teeth.
Meng Qi suddenly turned around to look at Song Chengze. After Meng Wei bowed and greeted him, Song Chengze turned back to Meng Qi and asked, "Surprised?"
Meng Qi nodded vigorously, with the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
"You brothers and sisters, have a chat." After saying that, he walked towards Yue Zhen and the others who came out of the house to greet him.
After watching Meng Weifei's horse leap onto the official road and ride away until the black spot could no longer be seen, Song Chengze stepped forward and gently put his arm around Meng Qi's shoulders. "Don't worry, Hongliang is not far from Lord Qin, and they often interact with each other. Besides, the first deputy general under Lord Qin, whom your third brother follows, has a good relationship with Hongliang. Last year, Hongliang went south and was injured just to save him. Also, I've already told Hongliang about grandpa's matter, and he will make the arrangements himself. I'm sure there will be good news soon."
Hongliang is Yue Zhen's courtesy name.
Meng Qilue leaned her head on Song Chengze's shoulder, her heart filled with warmth. She really didn't expect that Song Chengze would bring her to see Meng Wei off, and even introduce Yue Zhen and others to her without any concealment or taboos.
Looking at those people whose names she had only heard in her previous life, she suddenly felt full of strength and felt that she was getting closer and closer to that beautiful wish.
Then, Song Chengze gave her a second surprise. She was sitting in this restaurant that looked unremarkable and even a little shabby from the outside, eating these crab dumplings that were so delicious that they made her drop eyebrows. She exclaimed in satisfaction.
Song Chengze looked at Meng Qi who was eating like a kitten, chuckled, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth.
"I can tell you'll love it. Even though this restaurant looks inconspicuous, it's very difficult to make a reservation."
Meng Qi took Song Chengze's handkerchief and wiped it herself embarrassedly, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems."
Song Chengze put the crab dumpling into his mouth, "What do you mean?"
"Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Prince Rui, tell me, how much silver did you give, or how many people did you send to open this shop today?"
Song Chengze took a sip of tea and smiled slightly, "Why are you so smart?"
"Because I'm the Princess of Rui. How could I be stupid when I'm with the wisest Prince Rui?"
Song Chengze looked at Meng Qi's smirk and laughed out loud.
Chu Yong, who was guarding outside, was stunned at first. He found that since he didn't know when, the prince laughed more and more like this.
Meng Qi picked up the tea on the table and said solemnly, "Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you for bringing me here to see my third brother off. Thank you for asking Lord Chu to find out about my grandfather. Thank you for trusting me for so long... In short, thank you."
Song Chengze also picked up the tea, looked into Meng Qi's clear eyes, and said softly, "I also want to thank the princess for helping me uncover so many traitors in the inner house, helping me deal with the intrigues in the palace, and helping me pass on this news to my mother... In short, thank you."
After saying that, he gently touched Meng Qi's cup and drank the tea in it.
Meng Qi didn't expect Song Chengze to say this. She felt warm in her heart and suddenly felt that the grievances and plots she had suffered were nothing.
"When we get the chance, let's change the tea to wine and have a drink together." Song Chengze said happily.
"Oh? Your Highness, are you sure you want to drink with me?" Meng Qi squinted at him.
"Why? Princess, you don't like drinking?"
"How could that be? I'm really good at drinking fruit wine, but after drinking it, hehe..." Meng Qi pursed her lips and smiled, with a look in her eyes that meant you know what I'm doing.
Song Chengze laughed heartily again.
After the meal was over, Song Chengze took the cloak from the shelf and put it on Meng Qi while asking gently, "Are you satisfied with the breakfast I prepared for the princess as compensation today?"
Meng Qi let Song Chengze put the cloak on her and nodded vigorously, "I am very satisfied. My husband, please work hard in the future."
Song Chengze paused, resisting the urge to scratch her nose. "My wife's instructions, I will remember them."
Meng Qi felt something was wrong the moment she finished saying that, but she had already said it, and adding more would seem hypocritical. Hearing Song Chengze's words again, her face flushed, and she stared at him stupidly, the air seemed to freeze.
At this moment, Chu Yong's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, the time you agreed to meet the Crown Prince is almost here."
Song Chengze seemed to be awakened and continued what he was doing. "I'm going to the palace. I'll ask Chu Yong to take you back later."
Meng Qi shook her head. "No need. Let him protect you. Jiang Wu and the others are following me."
Song Chengze nodded. Ever since he sent Jiang Wu to Meng Qi's side, he had been guarding Meng Qi whenever she traveled.
Meng Qi continued, "Hongzhe doesn't need me to do anything else, right?"
"Yes, leave the rest to me. Now it depends on how much trust he has in you."
"What if he doesn't take the bait?"
"That doesn't matter. The prince has also arranged some things in the palace. He just didn't know that we have also arranged a line with Hongzhe."
