Meng Jin chatted warmly with her from time to time, but there was a cold look in his eyes.
She had no idea what his expression was like, but she still had the heart to answer. As she walked along, she found that the scenery around her became more and more unfamiliar, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy, "Sir, how far away is the place you mentioned?"
"
"Your Majesty, are you tired?" He spoke like a spring breeze on his face, "Why don't you find a place to rest first?"
Thinking about it this way, it was not necessary. She shook her head.
Mu Xiang also felt that something was wrong, but after all, the teacher in front of her was the teacher chosen by the Madam. He had profound knowledge and a clean background, so it was not easy to say anything.
There were many twists and turns, and I didn’t know where I turned. The crowds became increasingly sparse, and the light in the alley became dim.
After all, Ruan Yuyi had learned from the past, and cold sweat broke out on her hands.
Meng Jin, who was one step ahead of her, kept walking. The faint light at the end of the alley fell on the top of his hair, and the light green straight hair on his body became a little darker. He didn't look back, and suddenly said, "Have you ever heard of a dark night and a bright night?"
village?"
The scene now is indeed somewhat similar.
Meng Jin's words dispelled the uneasiness in her heart, and she stopped thinking, "This alley is quite long." They had been walking for some time.
He squinted his eyes and said slowly, "Don't worry, Madam, we'll be there soon."
She hummed, which was considered as an agreement. Suddenly, she felt Mu Xiang tugged on her sleeve, and she felt suspicious, "What's wrong?"
Mu Xiang grabbed her sleeve, paused, opened her mouth, and said after a while, "Miss, I suddenly remembered that you made an appointment with the fourth girl to play with the birds later, didn't you? If you ask the girl to wait for a long time, she will
It’s time to make trouble again.”
The birds today had indeed not been fed yet. She also stopped and looked sideways at Mu Xiang, her eyes dark.
But she never asked Xian'er to play with any birds.
Mu Xiang obviously has something to say.
"I forgot about this, it's time for Xian'er to blame me." She didn't criticize Mu Xiang, but followed her words.
Meng Jin turned around when he heard the noise. His face, immersed in the darkness, looked a bit sharp and gloomy, "Is your Majesty going to satisfy my promise?"
This is a bit presumptuous to say.
Ruan Yuyi frowned slightly, but still said politely, "After all, I agreed to Xian'er first, why don't you go with your husband next time?"
He remained silent and quietly made a gesture with his hand behind his back.
"We're already here, right in front." His tone was stiff, as if he had to go.
"Since your Majesty said she wanted to go back, why do I need to explain to you?" A voice came from the side of the alley. Meng Jin's body stiffened slightly, but he put on his usual smiling face, still looking as gentle as jade.
The person who came was none other than Wen Zhi, dressed in regular clothes and walking with his arms folded.
The two stood face to face, both of them clearly smiling, but there seemed to be a bit of chill in the air, quite a confrontational posture. Both of them looked at each other, and were speechless for a moment.
Wen Zhi was nearby, but Ruan Yuyi didn't believe that he was not here. She pursed her lips and made no move.
It was Wen Zhi who spoke first to break the current situation, "Mr. Meng did not rank among the top three in the imperial examination a few years ago. Now that the cheating case has been solved, if the original ranking is based on it, Mr. Meng should be the top three. Your Majesty has no time to compensate, but you can't find any compensation."
Sir, you——
"Where have you been these days?"
Meng Jin's face changed slightly, and he lowered his eyes, still holding his hands and smiling, "Of course I'm looking for another place, no, it just so happened that the young lady at General Zuo Xiaoqi's residence was missing a husband, so I left."
So what about when he goes forward, when he fails and fails, where is he?
Meng Jin avoided talking, and Wen Zhi did not ask further questions.
Under the snow-white beauty, Ruan Yuyi looked slightly startled. It turned out that the gentleman surnamed Meng in front of her was Tanhua who was squeezed out because of Cheng Xingqiu's actions.
Wen Fei nodded, "In this case, our family will lead the queen back first."
"It's up to you." He arched his eyebrows and made a "please" gesture. Then he really didn't follow.
.
Ruan Yuyi said nothing and just followed Wen Zhi all the way to the entrance of the alley.
The light became brighter and people's voices gradually became heard. The Wen Pheasant beside him stopped, bowed, and stepped aside.
She remained silent, looking at the long shadow in front of her through the fluttering white gauze.
Jiang Huaiyang pushed aside her hair with two fingers and carefully arranged it on the brim of his bamboo hat. His eyes were extremely calm, and because the little lady was standing in front of him, there was a faint hint of fear.
"Don't you want to know where the other end of the alley is?" he asked.
She also heard the strangeness and knew that now was not the time to vent her anger with him, so she followed the question, "Where is it?"
"Prince Jing's Mansion."
His voice was clear and light, and it was clearly a bit cold, not towards her, but because of the evil Fourth Emperor brother.
This Meng Jin was none other than one of the staff around Prince Jing.
At this time, Mu Xiang spoke in a deep voice, "Miss is no better than the slaves. She doesn't often go out to do things. I'm afraid she doesn't know something. This alley is indeed a shortcut to Prince Jing's Mansion."
It was impossible for Mu Xiang to tell her lies, not to mention that Meng Jin was indeed a bit weird.
After all, he became a Jinshi at a young age. This is a height that many scholars cannot reach in their lifetime. With his literary talent and outstanding talent, how could he not be reused by his superiors?
When A Niang used him, she also checked. He clearly held an official position, but he resigned angrily after that. After that, according to his own words, he went to teach in a small private school. He sent someone to the private school he said
Asked, it is indeed true.
But now that I think about it, if a person is not willing to fail, how can he be willing to be buried in a small private school for the rest of his life?
Thinking of this, she also knew that she had received a favor from him, so Yingying bowed and said softly, "Thank you so much for this time, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty doesn't mind it, I will embroider a small pillow for you later."
My brother will send it to you."
Hearing her polite but distant tone, Jiang Huaiyang pursed his lips and squeezed out a chuckle. He asked with some distress, "Do you have to be so clearly separated from me?"
There was no emotion on her face, "Every favor must be repaid, and it should be so. Why doesn't Your Majesty want to accept it?"
He was silenced for a long time and finally sighed, "Then I will take you back to the head office?"
Seeing that she remained silent, he just assumed that she agreed.
.
A few people went back to the general's mansion together.
Ruan Yuyi was walking side by side with him. After thinking about it, she slowed down her pace and deliberately took a step behind him.
Jiang Huaiyang was also aware of it. His hands under his sleeves were slightly clenched and his joints turned white, but he still indulged the little lady's little behavior.
Unless there was something important, the main entrance to the General's Mansion would not be opened easily. A few people took a detour to the East Point Gate. When they took this extra step, he was actually glad that her steps were small.
But even so, I still feel that this journey is too short, and I don’t know what excuse I should find when I see her next time.
"Don't let that man enter the house again. As for the teacher's matter - your brother's can be transferred to the Imperial College." He tucked her loose hair behind her ears very smoothly.
She subconsciously hid, and both of them were stunned.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
He watched her step into the mansion, and the lacquered red door slowly closed in front of his eyes.
