"Princess Cheng also said that it was fortunate that she told the truth. Otherwise, Concubine Meng was a concubine of the Cheng Palace. If you had insisted that it was Concubine Meng who offended you, it would have been difficult for her to win the lawsuit. After she finished speaking, she stepped forward and shook Princess Duan's hand. She said a few more words, but I couldn't hear them clearly. But looking at Princess Duan's expression, it must be that Princess Cheng was comforting her or saying something that hit the mark. I saw that Princess Cheng seemed to be wiping Princess Duan's tears."
Meng Qi raised her head, "Princess Duan is crying?"
Ms. Li shook her head. "No, it looked more like she was being comforted after being scolded by Prince Duan. Later, the Crown Princess summoned Princess Yong'an over, and after Princess Jing also arrived, Princess Cheng sat down to talk with Princess Duan."
Meng Qi heard Ms. Li stop talking here and squinted her eyes. "Did you hear that?"
"Yes, but not completely." Ms. Li thought for a moment and said, "Prince Cheng's Concubine first said that you were young and used to being domineering, and asked Princess Duan not to be angry with you, and to return the favor when she had the chance. Princess Duan, however, said that she couldn't swallow what happened today, and she even took Princess Cheng's hand and asked for her help. Princess Cheng asked how she could help, and Princess Duan thought for a moment and whispered in her ear. I didn't dare go any further. I was standing behind the flower tree, and they didn't notice, so I was afraid they would discover me."
Meng Qi hummed, "You are very smart. You did a great job today."
When she was walking with Meng Zhi, Ms. Li raised her leg to catch up. Meng Qi winked at her, but Meng Qi didn't know whether she understood or not. Now it seems that Ms. Li is indeed smart.
Ms. Li quickly said, "This is what I should do. I don't dare to praise you like this, but I didn't hear more. It's me..."
Meng Qi waved her hand and said, "This is already very good. Go back and rest. Next time you enter the palace, follow me."
Ms. Li was delighted and knelt down with a flattered expression on her face. "Thank you, Princess, for your appreciation. I will serve you wholeheartedly."
"Call Yuandong in."
Yuan Dong watched Ms. Li leave the main room with a happy face. She opened the window a little and whispered, "Is the princess planning to use her?"
Meng Qi nodded first, then shook her head. "We'll have to wait and see. This Rui Palace is truly full of hidden talents. Anyone could be behind anyone, so we have to be cautious when using it. Did you give her the hairpin? Did you tell her how to use it?"
Yuan Dong turned around and poured Meng Qi a cup of plum tea. "Yes, I never thought Concubine Meng was being watched so closely. One of the two women was staring at the window of the upper room, and the other was staring at me. Luckily, I took off my hairpin when I entered the courtyard. I turned my back to the man and chatted with Concubine Meng's maid. When they weren't paying attention, I slipped it into her hand. I also told her how to use it. She seemed very clever. When we were leaving, I saw her put the hairpin back on her hair."
Meng Qi hummed, "You should go back to the Huainan Marquis' Mansion with Mama Liu early tomorrow. First, tell my mother that I have displeased the prince again and have been confined to my house and cannot return. Then tell my second sister that Meng Zhi will be there to marry her tomorrow. When Meng Zhi tells her something, have her find someone to tell you."
Yuan Dong looked up in surprise, "Princess, how did you know that Concubine Meng would be marrying the Second Miss tomorrow?"
"Meng Zhi has made such a great contribution, how could Princess Cheng not reward her? Besides, I was confined and couldn't escort my second sister to her wedding, while Meng Zhi, who had clashed with me, was allowed to return to Huainan Marquis. How could Princess Cheng not use this opportunity to slap me in the face?"
"Princess Cheng? Are you saying that Princess Cheng was responsible for what happened today?"
Meng Qi nodded. "I know what you're thinking. You think that only that idiot Princess Duan is against me. In fact, they all want to see me, or rather, the prince, look bad. But in today's incident, Princess Duan acted like a clown and jumped out to cooperate with Princess Cheng. Just wait and see. Tonight, Princess Duan will not have an easy time, and Princess Cheng will definitely be praised by Prince Cheng."
"What about Princess Jing?"
