Chapter 137 Meng Anxian is getting anxious!
Meng Yanzhi nodded emphatically, her eyes shining: "Your Highness will definitely return safely!"
As she spoke, she handed the piece of paper in her hand to Xiao Ce again.
As for whether Xiao Ce would trust her, that was not something she should consider.
Seeing Meng Yanzhi like this, Xiao Ce smiled gently.
"Rouge, I'm leaving."
"Respectfully seeing off Your Highness!"
Meng Yanzhi took a step back and gave a proper bow.
The Meng family.
"What? Your Highness is going to the south for disaster relief? How can that be? It's too dangerous!"
"Father, Mother, please think of a way quickly! No, no, I can't just stand by and watch my brother, the Crown Prince, get into danger!"
Meng Anxian was extremely anxious.
With such severe flooding in the south, who knows what the actual situation is like there? What if she doesn't return? Wouldn't her position as Crown Princess be ruined?
Seeing Meng Anxian's excited expression, Meng's father frowned deeply and said irritably, "His Majesty has already agreed, what can I do? Since His Highness the Crown Prince is so eager to improve himself, isn't that a good thing? Besides, he is His Highness the Crown Prince, how could he be in danger?"
“What my sister says makes sense. The floods in the south are really dangerous. Father, how about I go? I’ll go protect His Highness, okay?” Meng Anfeng looked at his father with a smile: “If I personally protect the Crown Prince, my sister should be at ease, right?”
Upon hearing this, Meng Anxian immediately nodded with a beaming smile: "Really? Is it true? That's wonderful, Father! Let my brother go!"
"Who goes and who doesn't go is entirely up to the Emperor!"
"Xian'er, you are a woman confined to the inner quarters. Writing and embroidering are what you should be doing. Don't worry about too many other things."
After saying that, Meng's father got up and walked outside.
Even though Xiao Ce had been treating Meng Anxian better and better lately, Meng Anxian could still keenly sense that her status in the family seemed to have changed slightly. In particular, her father's eyes no longer held the affection he once had when he looked at her; instead, they were filled with estrangement and even a hint of disgust.
If it weren't for Xiao Ce taking a liking to her, and if it weren't for this so-called position as the Crown Princess, she probably wouldn't have been able to gain a foothold in the Meng family.
Meng Anxian grabbed her mother's hand and began to whine, "Mother, what should we do now? I'm really worried about the Crown Prince going alone. Why don't I go with him?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? What would a young lady like you do in a place like that? No way! I absolutely disagree!" Meng's mother immediately grabbed Meng Anxian's wrist to stop her from doing anything reckless.
Upon hearing this, Meng Anfeng immediately said, "Actually, it's nothing special. I can just go and ask the Emperor. If the Emperor agrees, can't I go with him? Right?"
"Okay, then let my brother go with us!"
"Brother, you're so good to me! I knew you were the best to me!"
Meng Anxian grabbed Meng Anfeng's arm, looked at him with a smile, and kept acting coquettishly.
Meng's mother frowned: "Feng'er, can you please stop acting recklessly?"
“Mother, only if I go can my sister feel at ease, and I am willing to go.”
"Let's settle this then!"
Meng Anfeng's attitude was very firm, and he turned around and went into the palace.
Meng's mother glanced at Meng Anxian with some displeasure.
Her favoritism towards Meng Anxian stemmed from a comparison with Meng Yanzhi, but if she had to choose between her son and Meng Anxian, then Meng's mother would definitely choose her son.
But she never expected that her son was so brainless! He did whatever Meng Anxian said; he was practically an idiot!
The Imperial Study.
Meng Yanzhi was in a good mood today, so she made a sweet peach soup and personally served it to Xiao Xingyuan.
She looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is a dessert that I just developed today. Try it and see if you like it. This peach was sent from Cangzhou, it's very rare!"
Meeting Meng Yanzhi's smiling eyes, Xiao Xingyuan's eyebrows furrowed tightly. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Is there anything I shouldn't have put in here?"
"What are you saying, Your Majesty?"
"How could I, your humble servant, dare to do such a thing?"
Meng Yanzhi immediately tensed up and looked at Xiao Xingyuan expectantly.
Although Xiao Xingyuan found Meng Yanzhi's current state very suspicious, he still decided to try it. The refreshing fragrance of peach immediately filled his entire mouth.
He looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief: "This, why does it also have a cool feeling?"
"Because I added mint leaves!"
"I obtained some seeds beforehand and spent a lot of effort to cultivate them. How is it? Doesn't it taste unique? Does Your Majesty like it?"
Yesterday they were eating people, and today they're all sweet and delicious?
Looking at Meng Yanzhi's smile, Wang Huanhai couldn't believe it. It was really hard to believe that the Meng Yanzhi now was the same person as yesterday.
"Your Majesty, Meng Anfeng requests an audience."
The young eunuch walked in, knelt on the ground, and reported something.
Meng Yanzhi almost instinctively tried to go out, but it was obviously too late. She was blocked by Meng Anfeng. Helpless, she could only stand silently next to Xiao Xingyuan, pretending that she did not know Meng Anfeng at all.
"Your subject, Meng Anfeng, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
Meng Anfeng entered the room and knelt down to pay his respects properly. At home, he was selfish and domineering, but in front of Xiao Xingyuan, he acted quite respectable.
Looking at him like this, Meng Yanzhi felt he was hypocritical and curled her lips in disdain, thinking, "He's just a bully who's only good for his own kind!"
"Your Majesty, I request permission to go to the south to provide disaster relief and to personally protect Your Highness!"
The moment Meng Anfeng stood up, he revealed the purpose of his visit.
What?
Upon hearing this, Meng Yanzhi was shocked and choked on her own saliva, coughing uncontrollably.
Xiao Xingyuan frowned and looked at Meng Yanzhi beside him: "Get down!"
"yes!"
Meng Yanzhi felt as if she had been granted a pardon, turned around and left without any intention of staying.
As for what Meng Anfeng said afterward, Meng Yanzhi had no idea. However, she also never expected that Meng Anfeng would take the initiative to come to her door after the matter was settled.
"Meng Yanzhi, why aren't you home?"
After entering the room, Meng Anfeng looked around and then looked at Meng Yanzhi with some disdain.
"I thought you lived in a paradise in the palace, but I didn't expect it to be so dilapidated?"
tattered?
Meng Yanzhi glanced at her small room and then said indifferently, "In the Meng family, I don't even have a dilapidated room like this."
