Chapter 582 This girl must not be confused
Because of this, His Highness was more tolerant of Meng Meng. In the past in Yangning City, Meng Meng could be said to be the person with the most honorable status in the mansion besides His Highness. As a slave, everyone in the mansion treated her with great respect, and she never took advantage of her favor to become arrogant and was always friendly to others. Why did Meng Meng feel so different when they met again in the capital this time?
Miaoyun Tower is one of the favorite teahouses for the children of the capital's nobles to spend their leisure time. They listen to storytelling in the morning and music in the afternoon. However, what people talk about most is not these two things, but their tea. A sip costs several taels of silver, which is so expensive that countless people stay away. However, tea lovers praise it highly.
The exquisite carriage stopped at the entrance of the teahouse. Meng Yixiang got off the carriage and walked in hurriedly. Without the waiter's enthusiastic guidance, she went up to the second floor with familiarity and knocked on the door of one of the private rooms.
The door was opened from the inside, revealing Sheng Xian's handsome face. When he saw Meng Yixiang, he immediately smiled widely, but his eyes fell on the empty back of her and his expression could not help but pause: "Why are you alone?"
Didn’t the master ask her to invite the third young lady?
Hearing Sheng Xian's words, Meng Yixiang's calm expression, which she had maintained all the way, suddenly froze.
Seeing this, Sheng Xian's black eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned sideways to let Meng Yixiang enter the house.
Chu Jinyan was sitting on a chair by the window, holding the teapot with his slender fingers. Hearing the voice, he glanced at Meng Yixiang, his eyes were as gorgeous and graceful as ink painting, but his gaze was as heavy as iron.
"What's going on?"
Meng Yixiang was stared at by Chu Jinyan, and she felt as if a pair of invisible hands were pinching her throat, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Her original vows suddenly collapsed at this moment. She swallowed subconsciously and said in a tense voice: "I am stupid and did not invite Miss Lu San. Please punish me, Your Highness."
As she spoke, she slowly knelt down towards Chu Jinyan, lowering her head with a look of self-blame.
Chu Jinyan put down the teapot in her hand and asked in a cold voice, "What did she say?"
“The third young lady just said she wasn’t going,” Meng Yixiang said softly.
At this time, she was not rash enough to put pressure on Lu Xiang.
Chu Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Meng Yixiang with an infinite amount of coldness on his face.
Although Meng Yixiang couldn't see Chu Jinyan's expression, she could guess his anger by feeling the chill around him, and she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
Your Highness, are you angry?
As expected, even if she was the Eighth Consort chosen by the Emperor, she would be in trouble if she dared to disobey His Highness.
Chu Jinyan suddenly stood up and swung his sleeves vigorously, bringing with him a burst of cold and fierce momentum.
"Your Highness..." Meng Yixiang raised her head suddenly, and there was a hint of joy in her anxious expression that she didn't have time to hide.
Chu Jinyan left in a hurry and didn't see him, but Sheng Xian caught him the moment he turned around. He was a little stunned, and then worried.
This girl must not be confused. His Highness loves and cherishes the Third Miss more than anything else. He spent all his efforts and used all means to finally win the Third Miss's heart, and used coaxing, deception and threats to make the Emperor agree to this marriage. If she causes the Third Miss's misunderstanding and affects His Highness's marriage, she would rather die a thousand times.
Not to mention that she has followed His Highness for so many years, the relationship between them is incomparable to that of others. I am afraid that by then even her eldest brother’s life-saving grace will not be able to protect her.
Sheng Xian secretly cursed himself for being careless and not noticing the abnormality of Yixiang for so many years. He also blamed himself for not brainwashing her properly after she came to the capital.
He followed His Highness and witnessed His Highness's care for the Third Miss, so he thought everyone knew it. Even if he took a step back, the imperial decree had been issued, and the fact that the Third Miss was the Eighth Imperial Concubine had been announced to the world. As the master's confidant, Meng Yixiang would naturally follow the Eighth Imperial Concubine's lead.
Misstep. Misstep.
