Chapter 290 The Jealous King is Jealous Again!
She had initially thought that Xiao Xingyuan was just accommodating her, but she never expected that he thought the same way she did, and that their dreams and plans for the future were the same.
"Ah Yuan, thank you." Meng Yanzhi leaned against Xiao Xingyuan and smiled gently at him.
Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Xuanyun had prepared quite a few things. He frowned as he looked at Zhang Yu'er, and then said, "Sister, why are you staring at me like that?"
“You are an official from outside the capital; it is against the rules for you to enter the inner court,” Zhang Yu’er said truthfully.
Zhang Xuanyun was a scholar who was self-disciplined and followed the rules of propriety, so how could he not understand these principles?
He nodded slightly, then handed all the items to Zhang Yu'er and said, "You go for me."
"I?"
Zhang Yu'er originally thought that Zhang Xuanyun would definitely do it personally, but she never expected that he would just ask her to go there.
Seeing Zhang Yu'er's expression, Zhang Xuanyun frowned: "Sister, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'll go now." After saying that, Zhang Yu'er took the things and turned to enter the palace.
Since leaving the palace, Zhang Yu'er has been living in Zhang Xuanyun's house, just to get closer to him and finally live a peaceful life.
Haitang Palace.
Seeing Zhang Yu'er enter carrying large and small bags, Meng Yanzhi hurriedly went to greet her: "Sister Zhang, what brings you here?"
"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress." Zhang Yu'er bowed respectfully.
She stood up, placed the items on the table, smiled at Meng Yanzhi, and said, "Xuanyun was worried about Your Highness, so he specially asked me to bring these things over to give to Your Highness. How does Your Highness feel?"
"I'm fine." Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, looking at the things she had brought with great delight: "Where did you collect all these? They're so beautiful, absolutely gorgeous! Qingdao, look at this dress, this little quilt, aren't they lovely?"
The items Zhang Xuanyun sent weren't particularly valuable, but they were definitely thoughtfully prepared; you could tell at a glance that they were carefully chosen.
Meng Yanzhi also took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Yu'er: "I have decided to persuade His Majesty to open some schools for free. These are some of my ideas. Please take them back and show them to your teacher so that he can give me a better plan."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu'er paused for a moment, hesitated, and then said, "Wouldn't that be a bit against the rules?"
"It's alright, no one will make things difficult for you." Meng Yanzhi smiled confidently and looked at Zhang Yu'er: "Sister Zhang, I have never had any other thoughts about Mr. Zhang, so please rest assured."
Zhang Yu'er hadn't expected Meng Yanzhi to be so insightful.
She was stunned for a moment, then knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, it's all my fault, I..."
“You don’t need to be so polite.” Meng Yanzhi helped the person up: “You are the teacher’s sister, so I will naturally respect you. But if you harbor suspicions and harbor evil intentions, then you will harm yourself and others.”
"Qingdao, take Sister Zhang back." After saying this, Meng Yanzhi lowered her head and stopped looking at Zhang Yu'er.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yu'er took a deep breath and realized that she was so transparent in front of Meng Yanzhi, even a little petty and unworthy of respect!
After thinking for a moment, she still bowed respectfully before getting up and striding outside.
Fen'er walked over and tidied up the things on the table: "Your Majesty, these things are so beautiful. Even in the palace, we don't have such novel things. They are so incredibly cute!"
"Oh my, they even sent a set of little bowls for the little princess! These are so beautiful!" Fen'er was still young, and her voice was somewhat childish.
Looking at these things, Meng Yanzhi felt a warmth in her heart, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Yes, it's obvious that you specially selected them, sir. I like them all. I'll keep them and use them slowly when the child grows up."
Xiao Xingyuan was playing chess with Ling Xiao in the imperial study, but upon hearing that Zhang Yu'er had come to the palace to see Meng Yanzhi, Xiao Xingyuan's expression immediately changed, and he said unhappily, "What is she doing here?"
"It seems like they're delivering something," Wang Huanhai said truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan snorted: "The palace lacks nothing, why do we need them to make so much trouble!"
"They're just giving the Empress a few things, why are you making such a fuss?" Ling Xiao looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a helpless expression. "Do you have to be so domineering and petty?"
"What do you know? It's one thing for others, but it's this Zhang Xuanyun. I know he's capable, but for some reason, Yanzhi likes him so much, and she always protects and helps him! It makes me angry!" Xiao Xingyuan snorted and slammed the chess piece in his hand.
Well……
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's state, Ling Xiao said helplessly, "Can you calm down a little? Besides, you've already given birth to the child, why are you so agitated?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingyuan finally softened his tone a bit and said with a smile, "Yes, you're right. She's given birth to my child, so she's mine now, and that can never change!"
That's more like it.
Ling Xiao put the chess pieces in his hand into the box next to him and said with some concern, "In three days, the Crown Prince Cang Shui of Canglan Kingdom will be coming. I heard that their little princess Cang Huan'er will also be there. I heard that the little princess is sixteen years old this year and is in the prime of her life."
"I heard, I heard, why do you love hearing so much?"
Are you the old lady from the village?
Xiao Xingyuan gave him a disdainful look.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid they have ulterior motives. They sent the princess here for a marriage alliance, or perhaps they want our people to go there. After all, their crown prince isn't even married yet!"
"You mean to say that Canglan Kingdom sent two bachelors?" Xiao Xingyuan immediately grasped the key point, his eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Ling Xiao: "If we really want to form a marriage alliance, we should really think about it carefully."
Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, then said, "Yes, yes, you're right. You've finally remembered that you're an emperor, and you finally know what you should do!"
"I was thinking, we definitely can't give the position of Crown Princess to them, but becoming a concubine would be a bit too much. How about we choose a suitable one from among those princes?"
"Let him stay by the Crown Prince's side and get to know the princess beforehand. Find a good-looking one, and you'll strike her right away!"
Ling Xiao raised an eyebrow, looking at Xiao Xingyuan with a half-smile.
