Chapter 107 Persuasion
They didn't manage their time well. After lunch, Mei Niang, Cui Xi and Cui Si quickly left the mansion and got on the carriage driven by Lin Amao outside the west gate.
It was a windy spring day. Cui Xi and Cui Si were covered with veils. Mei Niang joked that if they changed into red veils, they would become brides. Let me think about where to send these two brides.
Cui Xi shyly called her Grandma!
"Hush!" Mei Niang put a finger on her lips and said, "Don't call me like that outside. Have you forgotten my name is Cen Meimei? Yesterday, Lord Hou asked me like that. I think he saw me talking to Zhang and the others again. He seemed to have some suspicions. You have to stay alert and keep your eyes open. If he sees you again, I'm afraid you'll be exposed!"
I remembered the words of the King of Qi: Even if I see you a third time, I will still recognize you!
Can you tell with these eyes? Mei Niang rubbed her eyes helplessly. In her previous life, she had a pair of bright eyes, but she didn't expect that after being reincarnated as Qin Mei Niang, these eyes would still be so eye-catching.
The King of Qi is a smart guy. He can recognize it, and Xu Junying can also see it.
Cuisi asked the girl why she didn't call herself Qin Meimei even if she changed her name, but took the surname of the Cen master?
Cui Xi said, "You understand?" The girl has her own reasons. This name is not changed randomly: our old lady's surname is Cen. The girl manages Cyclamen under the old lady's surname Cen. She has nothing to do with the Cen boss mentioned above!"
Cui Si suddenly realized, "Yes! I almost forgot that our old lady's surname is Cen!"
Cui Xi said angrily, "You little bitch, you don't know what you are thinking all day long, you are so heartless!"
Mei Niang changed her name with a smile, and she is still somewhat related to the Cen family... Alas! Just treat him as our old lady's family, so he is a relative!"
As the master and servant were talking, they noticed that the carriage had stopped. They also heard a noisy voice outside, a man's voice shouting and driving people away, and the crisp sound of a whip cracking. Mei Niang's heart tightened, thinking that Lin Amao had bumped into someone again.
Just as she was about to ask, Lin A-mao came close to the curtain and said, "Don't panic, young lady. Our car is far away and is not blocking your way!"
Mei Niang asked curiously which distinguished person was traveling and why such a big event was going on.
Lin A-Mao lowered his voice and heard that it was Princess Sude..."
Princess Sude? Never heard of it. Mind your own business. Mei Niang was too lazy to ask any more questions. Seeing Cui Xi and Cui Si leaning against the window, they opened a corner of the curtain and looked out. She let them do that and leaned back in her seat to rest her eyes.
About ten minutes later, Cuixi and Cuisi turned around. Cuixi sighed and said, "It is indeed the royal procession. It takes a long time to walk through a street with so many people. If she came here every day, we wouldn't have to go out!"
Cui Si said, if a princess is like this, then the emperor..."
"When the Emperor travels, it will be a big deal. The whole city will be under martial law. Don't even think about watching the excitement. You can't even stand far away!"
Mei Niang smiled and said, "It's not that everyone is different. What do you think of the one who is learning drums in Suochunyuan..."
She only asked the King of Qi to keep a low profile and not disturb the surrounding residents. As a result, he did not even bring guards with him and was only followed by two attendants.
After Princess Sude's procession passed, the crowded crowd of carriages and horses began to disperse. Lin Amao drove his carriage slowly among the team moving in the same direction. After he got out of the intersection and turned into another street, he could walk smoothly.
They soon arrived at Cen's residence in Dongcheng. Mei Niang got out of the car, knocked on the door and went in. She asked Lin Amao to send Cui Xi and Cui Si to Xiankelai, check the situation in the store, and then come back.
Lin Runan came out to greet Mei Niang, changed into men's clothes, and walked to the Suochun Courtyard. The King of Qi was definitely a model of punctuality and had been waiting there. He was still bright and handsome in a purple robe with round flowers and a golden crown to tie his hair. However, because of the solemn dark purple, he exuded an air of elegance and righteousness.
Now he looks more like the Emperor.
Mei Niang imagined what the King of Qi would look like when he grew up to be a mature man, and couldn't help but laugh to herself: No, wouldn't that be too charming?
As I approached, the King of Qi had a stern face. He was unhappy again? He and Runan both changed into men's clothes. Tsk! This man is a freak, with mood swings. I really don't want to pay attention to him!
Mei Niang also straightened her face and went up with Runan to pay her respects to the King of Qi. The King of Qi snorted. Lin Runan couldn't stand him, so she went to talk to Li Qiuge. She had seen Li Qiuge using a sword that night and thought his sword style was unique, so she wanted to learn from him.
The King of Qi looked at Mei Niang. Her hair was held up by a ruched necklace, and the rest of her black hair fell behind her shoulders. She was wearing an apricot-red robe, a jade belt lightly wrapped around her slender waist, and soft and light brown deerskin boots. She walked past him without making any sound.
The King of Qi followed her and walked to the drum stand. What do you do?
Mei Niang said she didn't do it, she's adjusting the drum sound and preparing to teach you how to play the drums!"
"You seem very unhappy."
"I'm not happy? I'm very happy! I'm just afraid that you don't want others to be happy, so I dare not be happy!"
The corners of King Qi's lips curled up slightly, but he held back and asked, "Do you talk to everyone like this?"
"No." Mei Niang tried to knock on the small drum twice and spoke to the person! "
"Do you think I'm a human?"
"You are the King of Qi, a very noble man!"
"What if I'm not the King of Qi?"
Mei Niang suddenly had an idea in her mind, she looked up at him and smiled, "If you are not the King of Qi, who would you be?"
"I'm Zhao Bao, and I feel like I've known you since we met. I'm your best!"
Mei Niang was stunned for a moment. Inspired by King Qi, she was thinking about whether she could go back and ask Xu Junying: If I am not Qin Mei Niang, can you let me go?
I might as well tell Xu Junying about this strange thing about reincarnation. Maybe he can understand it, and maybe the problem can be solved.
The King of Qi made her feel uncomfortable when he said the following sentence. Did they feel like old friends at first sight? She didn't feel that way about him. The best? It definitely hadn't come to that.
"Your Highness is the son and grandson of the emperor. How dare I address you as such? Besides, there are differences between men and women. If I meet your Highness in private, people will gossip about me!"
Mei Niang acted crazy and pointed at Lin Runan not far away. She and I can only be called! "
The King of Qi was smiling, but he turned pale when he heard this. "I don't care if others want to do it with me! You run around outside all day, and you are afraid of people gossiping? I just don't treat you as a woman!"
Damn it, it's as if I really want to do it with you! If you don't treat me as a woman, then I am not a woman? What's this logic?
Mei Niang lowered her head, and the King of Qi could not see her face. He looked around, wishing he could reach out and lift her chin, and tear off the mask on her face at the same time.
"Can you please take off this human skin? Don't you get tired of wearing it all the time?"
Mei Niang said I have to wear it, otherwise I can't go out to see people. After all, I am a woman, so I have to be cautious!"
She wanted to emphasize her female body, and even if she had a little fantasy, it would be shattered. She didn't want to and couldn't replace Jian Yu. There was no sex change operation in this era, and even if there was, she would never become a man.
She suddenly thought of something: modern medical technology can turn a man into a woman, but it seems that no one has yet been turned into a man.
The King of Qi snorted, "You ran out of the city that day, and you didn't even wear this thing!"
That day? That day hasn’t come yet!
It's easy to find an excuse. I left in a hurry that day and forgot it! "
The King of Qi looked at her helplessly. Keep wearing it. One day you will take it off and reveal your true face! "
Mei Niang handed the drumstick to His Highness..."
The King of Qi does not answer when he calls my name!"
Mei Niang remained silent. The two of them were silent for a while. The King of Qi took the drumstick from her hand, beat the drum vigorously, paused, and said sullenly:
"I feel uncomfortable and upset!"
Need I say more? I could see it a long time ago. He looked like someone who was angry and wanted to vent.
Who would the King of Qi be willing to tolerate being humiliated by? Apart from the Emperor, it should be his mother, the Empress Dowager.
Mei Niang didn't want to get involved in his affairs. No matter what the reason was, the wisest choice was to remain silent and ignore it.
It is better to coax him to practice playing the drums - don't say that this guy is really suitable for playing the drum set. He is different from others and must have few close friends. You can imagine his inner loneliness. He needs to vent and talk, so let him play the drum set and let his emotions settle in the sound of the drums!
The King of Qi was dissatisfied with Mei Niang's indifference. Mei Niang said she wanted to play drums for him and play a song with Li Qiuge and other musicians. He felt more happy and stepped aside to watch. Mei Niang started playing a song called "Oh My Ga" by Mayday. The bright and smooth melody and the compact and intensive drum beats showed the unrestrained friendship. The joyful atmosphere instantly filled the whole courtyard. The King of Qi stared at the high-spirited Mei Niang and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
At the end of the song, the King of Qi said with admiration, "You must be a remarkable person to have such outstanding skills. Who is your master? You can let him enter the palace and teach this skill to the palace musicians!"
Mei Niang thought for a moment and said with a smile, "My master? He went back to his hometown with my brother!"
"Back to hometown? What a shame."
Mei Niang joked, "Don't I know how to do it? I taught Xiao Huan, and now I'm teaching you. If you want to hire a drummer for the palace, let me go!"
The King of Qi was startled. "
"Yes, I heard that the palace is extremely magnificent and beautiful. It's a good opportunity to go in and have some fun!"
The King of Qi laughed and said, "You thought you were going out to see the sights? The palace is beautiful, but it's not fun! I've lived in it for a few years and I'm bored. Every time I go to the palace to pay my respects to my mother, I want to run out early, but my mother always wants me to eat with her, and the food in the palace is terrible... I went to the palace to pay my respects today, and I had a few arguments with my mother before I ran out."
Mei Niang said, "No wonder you're in a bad mood. It turns out you did something wrong! You were scolded by your elders. Is it necessary to be like this?" First published on Wucuo Novel Network.
The King of Qi glanced at her and said, "I didn't do anything. It was my mother... Oh! I won't say any more!"
Mei Niang advised him to be nicer to the old lady. It was not easy for her to raise you to this age. How much filial piety can she enjoy now that she is old? If you do this, you will not have any regrets when you think of your parents' kindness in the future!"
The King of Qi asked her, "Are you good to the elderly in your family?"
"I...I will just do my best to be filial!"
Mei Niang became confused by his question. The first people that came to her mind were the elders in the Xu Mansion, the old lady, the madam, the second madam. They were all weird elders. She felt depressed just thinking about them. How could she be asked to be filial to them sincerely?
I couldn't help but sigh and say, "It depends on the situation. There are indeed some elderly people who are difficult to get along with. It seems that we shouldn't always pamper and indulge them. It's not good for anyone to be too repressed if they always feel wronged. The old and the young have their own tempers. Maybe they... should also reflect on themselves and not take advantage of their age and always oppress the young..."
The King of Qi looked at Mei Niang frowning, looking a little unwilling, and couldn't help laughing. "Are you trying to persuade me to be filial or teach me to resist? It turns out that you also have elders who are difficult to get along with. You should understand the troubles in my heart!"
Mei Niang said hurriedly, "My elders are not comparable to your elders. How can I understand the troubles in your heart?"
The King of Qi smiled and talked about those few things, which was very annoying! But after your advice, I really think... there is no need to be serious with the old man, and we can just get by like this!"
"? Did I advise you to do that? I didn't say that!"
"Hahaha...that's what you said! Cen Meimei, you are such a wonderful person!"
