Chapter 600: Facing Cheng Lanqing
Chapter 600 Facing Cheng Lanqing
Xue Mei and his elder brother took a carriage and visited the eldest prince's mansion.
The eldest prince received the letter and was waiting at the gate just as they arrived.
Therefore, the eldest prince saw that his ninth brother got off the car first, and his behavior was light, and he could not tell at all that one of his legs was fake. Ninth brother turned around and helped Xue Mei get off the car.
Xue Mei's simple white dress made her look more beautiful and charming, and her black hair and red lips added to her color. Her ninth brother was cold and noble, with a handsome appearance. The two looked so compatible.
Like a pair of jade men.
The eldest prince Jiang Feng had the intention of matching up and his smile was bright, just like a handful of charcoal in winter, which could dispel the cold and make people feel warm.
He looks like the most caring brother.
"Brother, I've been waiting for a long time." Xue Chi took a look first.
The eldest prince helped him: "I should have picked it up in person. Because I was lazy, I waited at the door. Don't be polite to my family, please come inside."
After saying that, he looked at Xue Mei again, his smile was like an ice cone under the eaves, crystal clear, and seemed extremely sincere and frank, but in fact he had no temperature.
Xue Mei also smiled back, very honest.
If I don’t know her, I thought she was a silly girl.
Xue Chi was a little confused by her smile, so she pulled off her sleeve without any trace.
The Grand Prince's Mansion is close to the Imperial City and belongs to the center of Kyoto, with a relatively small courtyard.
They walked to the main hall and sat down. Xue Mei was straight to the point: "Where is Miss Cheng Lanqing? Don't you come out to meet me?"
The eldest prince immediately glanced at Xue Chi.
Xue Chi had a faint expression: "Brother, Miss Cheng's affairs are between us, so it's not considered a secret, right?"
In one sentence, Xue Meila became her own person.
The eldest prince felt that his ninth brother had become more and more skilled over the years. He knew that he wanted to win over Princess Chengyang, so he made good arrangements for him.
Although he is more scheming, his loyalty is a lesson for the heavens.
"It's not a secret." The eldest prince Jiang Feng smiled, "Aqing has long heard of Miss Xiao's reputation for a long time. She has admired her for a long time. It's just that she is worried that Miss Xiao has concerns, so it's hard to meet each other rashly. Since you mentioned it, you can naturally see it immediately."
After saying that, he greeted outside.
The follower came in to answer and turned to call someone.
Xue Mei is a guy with no taboos, so he wants to force Cheng Lanqing out here. He asked Jiang Feng again: "Your Highness, what is Miss Cheng's current identity? Is His Highness's concubine or a beauty?"
"None are, they are just guests." Jiang Feng said, "Aqing is not an ordinary person. Whether he is a concubine or a beauty, he has wronged her."
Xue Mei: "What identity does not impreach her? The Queen of Chu?"
Jiang Feng: “…”
He glanced at Xue Chi again.
Is this really Princess Chengyang? It is said that she looks like a goddess, why did she feel a little stupid when she meets her?
When Xue Chi faced his elder brother's eyes, he also showed a little doubt: "The elder brother doesn't know, what is his identity that he doesn't feel wronged as a lady?"
Jiang Feng: “…”
He was not very accustomed to this topic, and was embarrassed for a while and couldn't say anything for a while.
Xue Mei simply changed the topic.
When she didn't deliberately pick on her, she could speak eloquently, and she also had an erotic speech with Jiang Feng. The two of them had a great time talking until a light blue figure appeared at the door.
A young man came in.
Because of the backlight, Xue Mei only felt that he was of medium shape and was a little thin.
It was not until he got closer that he saw clearly.
Xue Mei had been listening to Cheng Lanqing for several years and was dressed as a man. She could recognize her at a glance because she looked very similar to the Cheng brothers.
Especially with the third son of Cheng’s family, Lan Tao.
Although Cheng Lantao is the least intelligent among the three brothers, he is the best one. Cheng Lanqing is 70% similar to him, but his facial lines are more gentle and look like a female appearance.
Of course, she can also tell the public about her appearance as a boy or a girl, after all, there are also such people.
Perhaps to cater to the external impression of "feminine beauty", Cheng Lanqing's men's outfit is also fancy. In this way, no matter how gentle she is, no one will think that she is a woman.
She also treated Xue Mei with a man's courtesy.
Xue Mei was a later generation who had not been poisoned by feudal ethics and knew what kind of benefits men had gained in an era of inequality between men and women.
So, she understood Lan Qing very much.
Cheng Lanqing dresses up as a man not just for convenience. She probably wishes she could really become a man. If she was a boy who started a family, she would now have the power of military power and would be in power in the government and the country.
She probably always hated her brothers, one of whom was less ambition than the other, and was all a group of silly people, but they occupied the man she wanted most.
Brothers in the family have no ambitions. After Xue Mei gets along with them, she will find that it is not their disguise. They are all very down-to-earth and their subjects.
Cheng Lanqing probably discovered that it was impossible to instigate his brothers to rebel with his father. He hated them and was jealous of them.
The relationship was distorted to a certain extent, and she wished that they would all die to fulfill her ambitions.
Therefore, she betrayed Baiya Town.
Of course, at that time she just wanted to hide behind Hongjiti and get all the benefits.
Now...
"The name of Princess Chengyang is well-known. Now when I see it, it's different from what I imagined." Cheng Lanqing and Xue Mei greeted him.
Xue Mei took back her mind: "Where is different?"
"The imaginary Princess Chengyang should be cool and sharp; now when I see you, I feel like you are like your little sister, gentle and charming," said Cheng Lanqing.
Very close.
Xue Mei smiled: "Rumors have always been unreliable."
Her eyes looked at Cheng Lanqing from time to time.
Cheng Lanqing let her look at her openly, and asked her with a smile: "What about me? In the princess' imagination, are I very different from each other?"
"This...is not. The main reason is that I am not familiar with Miss Cheng, and I don't specifically describe you in my heart." Xue Mei said.
Cheng Lanqing: “…”
She was stunned for a moment and smiled faintly.
Instead of delving into this topic, she asked Jiang Feng when he would serve the meal.
Several people had a hearty lunch.
Cheng Lanqing said in his words, hinting that Xue Mei would give the "meeting gift" to the eldest prince Jiang Guan to express his loyalty; at the same time, they mentioned the ghost stone, that is, Lu Yan, at the dinner table.
They want to know how to extract land salt.
Xue Mei did not answer the conversation.
After dinner, Xue Mei took a nap on the wall of the carriage. Then when she saw Xue Chi closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep, she couldn't hold back.
He kicked Xue Chi gently, and Xue Mei asked him: "The eldest prince means, brother, have you heard it?"
"Um."
"What do you think?"
"Don't teach him." Xue Chi said.
"Why?" Xue Mei smiled, "Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"
"He has something to ask for you now," Xue Chi said. "It has been almost three years since my elder brother returned to Beijing, and the situation in the court has been very unclear. He is the one who is humble and begging others."
Xue Mei smiled.
"...But, Yuan is finally willing to help him, and there may be a turnaround this year." Xue Chi said again, "Yuan sent someone to Beijing."
Xue Mei heard this and said oh.
Xue Chi: "Do you know the Yuan family?"
"I know, isn't it the big family in Mianzhou? I have lived in Mianzhou for three months." Xue Mei said.
Chapter completed!
