Meng Qi listened to Song Chengze's cheerful voice and said happily, "Let them play. They are still young. I'll have the maids and servants keep an eye on them. Wang Chenghai has specially arranged two young eunuchs who can swim, so don't worry."
"I'm naturally confident in your handling of the matter." Song Chengze drank his tea, raised his head, and glanced at Meng Qi meaningfully.
Meng Qi sat across from him, "Your Highness, are you praising me?"
"What do you think?" Song Chengze smiled, his two rows of snow-white teeth accompanied by the slightly raised corners of his lips, and he looked so quiet and calm.
"Of course it's a compliment to me. Even if it's not a compliment to me, I will still take it as a compliment."
Song Chengze laughed, "You are not modest at all."
"Why be modest? Good is good. My second sister said that life is already hard enough, so why add to it? Even if others don't approve, you should praise yourself. As long as you are happy, everything else is nothing."
Song Chengze was stunned when he heard this, then nodded, "The first two sentences do make sense, but who can really be so reckless with the last sentence?"
Meng Qi hummed, "So, I'm just deceiving myself."
Song Chengze said seriously, "I'm not lying to myself. Every word of my praise for you is true. You are really good, beyond my expectation. Over the past long time, if it weren't for your help, although it wouldn't be impossible, I would definitely take more detours and suffer certain losses."
Meng Qi suddenly felt embarrassed when she heard Song Chengze's words, and her face flushed. She took out her handkerchief and fanned it gently, "I know I'm shy, but why would you say such things, Your Highness?"
Song Chengze chuckled and reached out to gently scratch Meng Qi's nose, "You clever little thing."
Meng Qi looked up. They hadn't done this little gesture for a long time. Song Chengze did it so naturally that Meng Qi felt a little uncomfortable again.
However, Song Chengze didn't give Meng Qi too much time to feel uncomfortable. "Fifth sister-in-law is sick. She said that she punished a concubine a while ago, which made her unhappy. She put something in her food."
"Ah? Is it okay?" Meng Qi asked anxiously.
Song Chengze looked up at Meng Qi with a half-smile. Meng Qi blinked her eyes and took a moment to react before saying, "Could it be that Meng Zhi did it?"
Song Chengze nodded. "I think so. Because Fifth Sister-in-law couldn't go to the palace to attend Consort Xian's birthday, she asked Fifth Brother to take Meng Zhi with him. Because the other concubines and concubines were not close to her, she didn't want them to steal the spotlight."
Meng Qi gave Meng Zhi a thumbs up in her heart. With such intelligence and talent, if it weren't for her grandfather and third uncle, Meng Zhi would be more than qualified to be the mistress of a wealthy family.
"Have you thought about how to talk to her?" Song Chengze asked.
Meng Qi thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid I'll need my mother's help."
"Oh?" Song Chengze looked up.
Meng Qi smiled slightly and leaned closer to Song Chengze...
Entering the palace again, Meng Qi felt as if everything in the past was just like her past life. Without the confrontational Princess Duan, everyone seemed to be extremely kind to her.
The Crown Princess took her hand with a worried look on her face. "It's true that there are too many things going on in the palace. I should have gone to see you, but I'm too busy to do it. Please don't blame me."
Meng Qi smiled and said, "How is Liang Di? Is it coming soon? This is a big deal. If we can have a boy, all the hard work of the Crown Princess will be worth it."
Last year, a maid in the Eastern Palace became pregnant, and it was time for her to give birth. Not only the Eastern Palace, but the entire royal family and the aristocratic families were all staring at this Concubine Liang's belly.
The Crown Princess pursed her lips and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that the weather is getting warmer, she ate too much and is feeling uncomfortable, so she's making a lot of trouble." There was helplessness but joy in her tone.
This is understandable. The prince needs a son so much now, especially at such a critical moment. If this concubine cannot give birth to a son, the prince will be very embarrassed.
"That's good. We are just waiting to drink in the little prince's wedding wine." Meng Qi said with a smile.
The Crown Princess was very satisfied. "How are you? Have you recovered? I heard that you were bumped into by Concubine Lin?"
