Chapter 289
Xu Junying hurried upstairs and was relieved to see Meimei sitting safely on the couch. Cuisi served tea, took the cup that the King of Qi had drunk earlier, and left. Xu Junying walked over to Meimei and sat down, asking with concern, "What's wrong with the King of Qi? He seems... angry?"
Meimei was startled: "Angry? No, he talked to me for a while and left here peacefully."
"But I saw that he had a dark face. I was afraid that you might have said something to displease him and that he might do something to you."
Meimei looked at him with a smile: "What would you do if he did something to me?"
"What do you think?"
Meimei smiled and shook her head: "Really? A grown man can also be suspicious!"
Xu Junying held her in his arms and said, "Meimei, I, I have to go out again. Ma Wei will go back to Cui Lian to ask for some things. I will see you once and then leave. This time I will be gone for one or two months!"
Meimei recalled that the King of Qi said he was going to investigate the King of Jing, and she couldn't help but sigh. Xu Junying thought that she was unhappy that he was going out again, and her heart ached. Her chest was instantly filled with deep apology. He hugged her tightly, rubbing his cheek against her temples, and said in a hoarse voice: "I will be back as soon as possible... I'm sorry!"
Because he likes her, he holds her tightly in his hands regardless of everything and does not allow anyone to have any ideas about her. But when he really has her and loves her deeply, he will think more deeply about her and realize how painful it is to not be able to give her that kind of happy life of dependence, stability and peace. Women value long-term companionship and never leave each other. People in love hate separation the most. But he is not an ordinary person. He has responsibilities on his shoulders. At this moment, everything he says is pale and powerless. He just feels very sorry for his wife.
Meimei noticed Xu Junying's uneasiness and comforted him: "It's okay, it's better for you to go out now, so as not to get entangled with the Queen Mother. I will take Heng'er and wait for you to come back at home!"
Xu Junying nodded but didn't say anything. He couldn't say it and he hugged Meimei tightly, not wanting to let go. Meimei stretched out her arms, climbed around his neck and kissed him, from her clear sword-like eyebrows, gently closed starry eyes, handsome nose, to her slightly dry thin lips, she kissed him carefully, moistening him with her soft and sweet lips like dewy petals, and stretched out her dexterous tongue tip lightly, then entered his mouth, lingering with him, gently and intimately caressing him...Xu Junying enjoyed Meimei's kiss and caress to the fullest. There was obviously a fire burning stronger and stronger in his heart, and his body reacted. He was hot and uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to move further. He just carefully absorbed her fragrance and sweetness, holding her body stiffly with his hands, motionless, for fear that he would lose control and be driven away by her immediately if he was abrupt. After being separated for so many days and nights, he wanted to remember as much of her beauty as possible.
After having dinner with Xu Junying at Xianke, Ma Wei came to report that the others had finished eating. Meimei immediately sent him downstairs and watched them leave in the yard. Xu Junying rode on his horse and circled Meimei twice. Their eyes met. Meimei said, "Take care, husband!"
Xu Juying stared at her and nodded with a smile: "I will, take good care of Heng'er and wait for me to come home!"
In the blink of an eye, a puff of smoke dissipated and a dozen horses carrying people disappeared without a trace. As Meimei got on the carriage to go home, she was still thinking, no wonder not many women are willing to marry soldiers in modern peacetime. They just leave and disappear instantly. It's as unreal as a dream.
During the days when Xu Junying was not at home, the Hou Mansion was unusually quiet. The Queen Mother no longer sent palace servants to urge the mansion. Old Lady Xu took Wu Ziyao to Jinhua Hall and stayed there without making any noise. Besides, there was nothing else they could do. The man had run away, so who could they catch to get married? At this time, whether they listened to Meimei's previous proposal or not, everyone had to wait, waiting for Xu Junying to come back, so that those who were waiting to get married, those who were urging them to get married, and those who were matchmaking would have someone to work on.
The most boring person during this period was the King of Qi. I saw him everywhere I went. It was funny to see him all the time. I wanted to watch the fun but couldn't find anything to watch. It was really frustrating.
Xu Junying's absence from home was a kind of indulgence for Meimei. She could do whatever she wanted, and even if Baizhan saw it, she couldn't tell Xu Junying. Anyway, after he came back, she would "cold treat" him for a while, so she didn't believe he would be so angry. She knew this man to some extent, and there was no substantial harm to him, so he could be ignored. Meimei didn't do anything bad. She just wore a mask and disguised herself as a man. She hung out with Prince Qi in the Millennium Music House for some time, playing drums to compose music, and choreographing dance steps with Su Yunu. Occasionally, she would go with Prince Qi and have fun drinking with his friends. She was not Xu Junying and could drink a little. Besides, Prince Qi would not let her get drunk when he was watching. But after playing with Prince Qi for ten days or so, there was no sign of Lin Runan, and she was very depressed. Prince Qi was not telling the truth and his words were not credible. That girl was really so filial that she ran to the old queen mother in the palace every day. It was impossible for Liu Jingyun, the capable sixth grandmother, to take care of the household affairs. Meimei was happy to be a hands-off boss. She took Baizhan with her on weekdays. Cuixi was about to get married, and Cuisi and Cuilian would be together soon, so she simply didn't want them to follow her. Occasionally, she let Cheng'er and Ping'er pretend to be little servants and follow her, which made the two little girls very happy. But they also learned from the young lady and imitated the boy's movements and expressions when wearing men's clothes. They were very serious and serious.
But one day, Meimei took them to Prince Qi's mansion. The two girls were shocked to see the men holding hands, hugging and kissing. In their innocent eyes, they felt as if they were struck by lightning and could not move. Baizhan tried to stop them, but Meimei smiled and said: No matter how innocent the children are, they must be given a vaccination if they want to go out and cause trouble!
That day, Shan Yong happened to walk out of the palace and saw Mei Mei coming to visit. He quickly stopped the guards from asking questions and bowed and addressed her respectfully, "Young Master Cen!"
All the guards at the door looked at him: So this is the legendary Cen? They had received instructions long ago that any young man with the surname Cen who came to visit should not be stopped, but should be taken into the palace and reported to the prince immediately, otherwise he would be severely punished!
Then he led Meimei inside, and Baizhan followed behind, muttering angrily in his heart: I must tell the marquis when I get back that the King of Qi just doesn't take the Marquis Weiyuan seriously, and even the guards don't respect the Marquis Weiyuan's wife, but only call her "Young Master Cen", what kind of person is this!
The prince's mansion is different from the marquis' mansion. Its grandeur and magnificence have reached a new level. On the way to the second painting hall, when they reached the corner of the corridor, they met two men in gorgeous clothes hugging each other there. Shan Yong was very embarrassed. He coughed lightly and the two men separated. One of them lowered his head, and the other one looked at Shan Yong calmly, said "hmm" unhappily, and glanced at Meimei. Then he smiled and raised his hand to greet her. Meimei recognized that he was the one who had drunk in Qianxilefang. She could only smile lightly and clasped her fists carelessly. Damn it, this guy seems to be an earl who has been in the military camp. He looks tough, but he also likes to play this. He is fine even after being caught. He is really thick-skinned. It seems that he is a senior veteran.
I secretly complained in my heart, the King of Qi has already married Lin Runan, how could he still get deeper and deeper into this? If he cut off ties with these people, would things change?
Just as she sat down and drank a sip of tea, King Qi hurried out. He looked at Meimei with a look of surprise and joy, and asked uncertainly, "Why... are you here?"
"That's it!"
Meimei glanced at him, her eyes turned slightly, and she raised her chin to look to the other side: "I want to see Princess Qi!"
The King of Qi smiled and said, "Someone, take Master Cen to the princess!"
He had originally decided not to allow Lin Runan to see Meimei before Xu Junying married Ayao, but seeing that Meimei came to Prince Qi's Mansion on her own, no matter what her purpose was, he was willing to compromise.
Meimei happily followed the attendants and left. They were not allowed to bring their own attendants into the inner courtyard. Meimei told Cheng'er and Ping'er to rest with Baizhan in the guard lounge and not to worry about her because she was with the princess and everything would be fine.
After watching Meimei leave, the King of Qi looked at Shan Yong, who had a strange expression on his face, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Shan Yong lowered his head and said, "The Earl of Baoding... just pulled Xiao Linzi under the corridor and was seen by Master Cen!"
"Can't you take a detour? You useless piece of shit!" The King of Qi glared at him angrily. "From now on, the Earl of Baoding is not allowed to come to our house. Send Xiao Linzi away. Give him some money and let him go wherever he wants. The other few should be sent to the South Courtyard. Before Master Cen leaves, he is not allowed to run around so that she can see him. She has a sharp eye and can tell at a glance!"
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
"Call the butler to prepare the best banquet and invite Master Cen to have dinner with you!"
"yes!"
Because it was a cloudy day with no sunlight, Lin Runan was practicing sword in the yard full of wisteria flowers. Meimei walked in with a smile on her face, her head and body covered with purple petals. Lin Runan was stunned, she screamed, dropped the sword in her hand, ran over and hugged her. The two good friends who had not seen each other for many days finally met and could not stop laughing. Meimei then realized that it was just as she had guessed, the King of Qi had imprisoned Lin Runan in order to prevent him from meeting her.
Why would he do this? Is he trying to cover up something?
Meimei looked at Lin Runan and said, "Tell me, I've been jumping up and down for so long just to see you and to know the truth about the incident at Yiyun Villa. If you weren't there at the time, I would have given up and believed that Xu Junying had lost her virginity, but the queen kept you for the sake of the prince, and I hope a miracle will happen - you can help me keep an eye on my husband! I told you that he has changed, and he is very good to us mother and son, and is willing to take on all my requests, so I decided to stay with him at ease. He is the most important person in my life, my man, and I won't accept being schemed against by others!"
Lin Runan smiled and shook his head: "You are so greedy. It's already great that you can see me. What else do you want to know? I'm telling you, I won't say anything, because he warned me that a casual remark could have serious consequences! I chose to remain silent. He locked me up because I didn't want to run away. Didn't Xu Junying go out? No one forced him to get married right away, why are you so anxious?"
