Chapter 176 I presented His Majesty with a love token doll, and he kissed me until my legs went weak!
Looking at Meng Yanzhi's adorable appearance, Xiao Xingyuan's lips curled up slightly: "You're that happy?"
"I'm so happy!"
"Your Majesty, I know the palace has everything, but there are also many interesting things outside. These little things are not high-class and certainly not available in the palace!"
"Would you like to stay?"
Meng Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a smile.
Xiao Xingyuan nodded in agreement after hearing this, and then put all the items away.
Meng Yanzhi glanced at Wang Huanhai standing to the side, then nudged Xiao Xingyuan's arm.
"Get down."
Xiao Xingyuan immediately understood and drove Wang Huanhai away.
Meng Yanzhi was finally satisfied and hurriedly took out the two little dolls she had hidden in her sleeve.
This is a wooden doll, plump and white, very pretty.
"Your Majesty, look, these are the ones I carefully selected: a boy doll and a girl doll, one is me, and the other is you!"
As she spoke, Meng Yanzhi directly handed the little girl to Xiao Xingyuan, picked up a wolf-hair brush from the side, and dabbed two red cheeks on the little girl's face.
“I cannot be by His Majesty’s side at all times, but this doll can.”
"Even His Majesty cannot be with me every moment, but the doll can be too."
"Your Majesty, do you like it?"
Meng Yanzhi smiled and stared at Xiao Xingyuan.
Xiao Xingyuan only saw Meng Yanzhi's rosy little mouth opening and closing, and had no idea what she was saying, before kissing her directly.
"Hmm!"
Meng Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, wrapped her arms around Xiao Xingyuan's neck, and deepened the kiss.
When Meng Yanzhi came out of the Imperial Study, she felt a sore back and aching waist, but that didn't stop her from being in a good mood. Carrying her old treasures, she headed towards Zhaoyang Palace.
After entering, Meng Yanzhi bowed respectfully, then quickly took out the things she had brought and handed them to Furong, who was standing to the side, while smiling at Consort Liu.
"Your Majesty, these are some little trinkets I bought outside. I hope you like them."
"They're not worth much, but they're all really fun!"
Meng Yanzhi smiled and stared longingly at Consort Liu.
Ever since receiving Xiao Xingyuan's promise, she felt increasingly guilty towards Consort Liu, since Consort Liu had been genuinely kind to her.
Looking at these things, Furong sneered disdainfully: "Miss Meng really knows how to calculate. The Empress gave you gold and silver treasures, and what kind of junk did you bring?"
"Shut up, what nonsense are you spouting? Get out!" Consort Liu scolded her angrily, ordering her to leave.
Only the two of them remained in the room. Consort Liu personally stepped forward and helped Meng Yanzhi up: "You silly girl, you've been coming to see me a lot lately, bringing me things and food. What's wrong? Do you need something from me?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel Your Majesty is really good to me, but I feel a little sorry for Your Majesty." Meng Yanzhi lowered her eyes, but she just couldn't express her guilt.
Upon hearing this, Consort Liu smiled faintly and then said directly, "Isn't it His Majesty? Even without you, it would be someone else. It certainly won't be me. Whether you are here or not, His Majesty doesn't like me, does he?"
this……
Meng Yanzhi never expected that Consort Liu would be so insightful. She also never imagined that Consort Liu already knew about this matter.
She took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty, this humble woman..."
"It's not your fault that His Majesty likes you, but I'm just curious, do you like His Majesty?" Consort Liu looked at Meng Yanzhi with a face full of curiosity.
Meng Yanzhi blushed, nodded, and whispered, "I like it."
"Then I will help you by making you a concubine, shall I?" Consort Liu immediately became excited and took Meng Yanzhi's hand.
Meng Yanzhi shook her head: "I like Your Majesty, but I love freedom even more. I don't need to tell you what kind of life Your Majesty is living in this deep palace. So I am unwilling. I only want to leave the palace after I turn twenty-five and live my own life."
Upon hearing this, Consort Liu was quite surprised. She took a deep breath and said, "It's remarkable that you are so insightful at such a young age. It's truly not easy."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. You've been so good to me, but I..."
"I'm so sorry!"
Meng Yanzhi knelt on the ground, and tears streamed down her face.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Consort Liu sighed helplessly and said, "Enough, enough, don't cry anymore. Didn't I already say that I don't care?"
She quickly helped him up, saying, "I don't care, but others will. If you don't want to enter the palace, you must protect yourself and make sure no one notices, understand?"
"I understand."
"Your Majesty, you are truly the best woman in the world. I am very curious, if one day Your Majesty could leave this nine-layered palace, where would you go?"
Upon hearing this, Consort Liu thought about it carefully, and then a hint of anticipation appeared on her face. She smiled and said, "If one day I am able to leave this nine-layered palace, I will definitely travel all over the world and taste different delicacies from all over the country. From childhood to adulthood, I have never liked anything else but eating and drinking."
"Perhaps one day, Your Majesty will truly be able to taste all the delicacies in the world!"
"When the time comes, don't forget to come to my restaurant, and we'll meet again!"
Meng Yanzhi smiled softly and suddenly hugged Consort Liu.
In fact, Consort Liu knew very well that what Meng Yanzhi was saying was impossible, but for some reason, looking at Meng Yanzhi's serious expression, she suddenly felt a little bit of inexplicable anticipation.
When Meng Yanzhi returned to her small courtyard from Zhaoyang Palace, it was already late at night. As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Xingyuan sitting on her bed with a very gloomy expression.
What happened this time?
Meng Yanzhi stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Meng Yanzhi, you asked me for a reward and chose a person, all for Zhang Xuanyun?"
Xiao Xingyuan's face was cold and hard, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, wanting an answer, and he looked at Meng Yanzhi with dissatisfaction.
Well……
Meng Yanzhi never expected that it was all about this.
"Yes, that girl is Mr. Zhang's sister. I've already sent her away, and the siblings are reunited." Meng Yanzhi didn't hide anything and just told the truth.
But her behavior only made Xiao Xingyuan feel more frustrated!
"You care about him that much!"
