Meng Xi's escape did not discourage the emperor. Instead, he felt happy. She used to think of him as a brother, but now she realized that he was a man.
Not only did the little girl keep avoiding him, but she also hung out with a bunch of playboys every day. Xiao Huaiyu couldn't tolerate this.
Meng Ying has been feeling uneasy lately, especially when her eldest brother looks at her. It's like a hungry wolf seeing a fat and tasty little white rabbit, eagerly preparing to bite it... She subconsciously avoids him, and goes horse racing outside the city with a few playboys in the capital every day, and only returns home after dark.
The emperor was very busy, and she thought that if she didn't meet him for a few times, he probably wouldn't come.
That day, she waited outside until the lights came on before returning home on horseback. At the door, she quietly asked the doorman if he had arrived. When she got a negative answer, she was immediately delighted and happily prepared to go in.
"Xier."
A familiar voice sounded behind me.
Meng Xing turned around stiffly and saw the emperor in a brocade robe standing in front of the carriage.
The lanterns at the door emitted a faint light, and a lively noise came from the Yuhua Tower in the distance. The emperor's brows were calm, and the eunuch stood behind him with a bow, waiting for an unknown amount of time.
"Brother..." Meng Xian murmured.
The tall and handsome young man approached slowly step by step.
Meng Xian felt guilty for some reason and kept backing away, leaning her back against the stone lions at the door. Finally, she couldn't help but shout, "Brother!"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Huaiyu just removed the dead grass from her hair: "You are so old, why are you still so clumsy? You don't even notice that there is grass on your head."
The intimate and familiar tone blocked the rebuke that Meng Xi was about to say in her throat.
Xiao Huaiyu patted the girl's head and said with a smile, "Haven't you eaten yet? The imperial kitchen has made some new dishes today. I think they're pretty good, so I'll give them to you. Try them later."
The imperial kitchen, the best chefs in the world are gathered in the palace, the new dishes must be delicious.
Meng Xian swallowed her saliva and felt even hungrier...
Just like that, the doorman watched helplessly as the young lady, who had just been happy because His Majesty did not come, was led by the Emperor's hand into the palace with a dizzy look on her face.
Once the emperor is tempted by love, he will naturally use all means possible and will not stop until he achieves his goal.
How could Meng Xian resist, given her simple nature? Furthermore, the emperor had practically single-handedly raised her, and his likes and dislikes were perfectly accurate. The little girl's guard had barely risen when he calmly suppressed it.
Meng Xian was stroked by Xiao Huaiyu, and soon she happily reconciled with her elder brother.
She still went to the outside of the city to race horses with the playboys, and often drank and enjoyed music, but this time she was accompanied by a serious-looking female guard, and there was always a carriage to pick her up after the race.
The carriage was low-key and the curtains were tightly drawn. Every time, Meng Xi would quickly open them and get in.
I can’t see what’s going on inside.
At first, the playboys thought it was the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, until one day the eldest daughter accidentally stepped on empty air, and a strong arm stretched out from inside and held her steady by the waist.
The man's fingers were well-defined, and he wore a jade ring on his thumb. His exposed side profile showed a smooth jawline.
They also noticed his attire: a long robe with dark golden patterns, long boots, and a jade pendant with a dragon pattern around his waist, indicating his noble status.
The dandies were stunned. "Your Majesty?"
Before they could figure out how His Majesty, who was so busy with affairs, had time to come and pick up Miss Meng, they saw His Majesty, who was always serious as their father said, asking about Miss Meng's safety with concern. Seeing that she was fine, he smiled, but he never let go of his hand on the girl's waist.
As if noticing their gazes, the emperor swept his sharp eyes over.
The playboys' faces turned pale and they knelt down in haste.
"Your Majesty, atone for your sins!"
The emperor just glanced at them indifferently and escorted Meng Xi into the carriage.
The carriage left quickly, and the playboys dared to look up. Unknowingly, they were sweating with fear on their backs. However, they did not care about these things, because they had made a big discovery. It was terrible. His Majesty had ill intentions towards Miss Meng!
As famous playboys in the capital, they are proficient in eating, drinking and having fun.
The things between men and women can be understood at a glance.
The way His Majesty looks at Miss Meng is not innocent at all. Anyone with a discerning eye can see what he is thinking.
Several people were extremely excited about this discovery, but how could they casually discuss the emperor's affairs? Moreover, they were worried that they would be silenced for discovering the relationship between His Majesty and Miss Meng.
Everyone returned home worriedly, feeling that they were definitely doomed this time.
As a result, there was no movement in the palace for several days, and Meng Xi still went to play with them as usual.
What made them even more frightened was that His Majesty still came to pick up Meng Xi every day. There were even a few times when they hadn't finished, and His Majesty would just wait there quietly, not urging Meng Xi, until she had a good time before going back.
There were a few times when Meng Xing was so engrossed in playing Pai Gow that His Majesty would help her peel grapes.
Skinning grapes, your majesty?
Their eyeballs were about to bulge out.
But the facts are right in front of us.
They finally confirmed that His Majesty was truly obedient to Miss Meng.
And as they came into contact with each other more, they gradually understood that His Majesty was not afraid at all that they would tell others about his feelings for Meng Xi. In fact, he probably even hoped that they would be talkative.
Meng Xian was extremely beautiful and had a good family background. The relationship between the Meng family and the imperial palace was almost known to everyone.
There was no telling how many people in the capital were plotting against her.
And how could a man possibly want his woman to be coveted by others? Of course, he wanted to make the news known to everyone so that no one would dare to touch her again.
A few playboys thought they had guessed the emperor's thoughts correctly, and after returning, they immediately spread the news.
