The sun was in the sky, and the carriage was a little stuffy. Meili opened the curtains to let in the breeze and had already left the city. There were green trees and mountains on both sides of the road, and the pleasant scenery of the green crops in the farmland in the distance made people feel suddenly happy and relaxed.
She leaned against the carriage, enjoying the cool breeze blowing over her cheeks, and was immersed in the beautiful scenery of late spring greenery. Because she couldn't sleep peacefully at night, the carriage shook gently and the air was fresh. Mei Li's sleepiness gradually came over, and she leaned against the window lattice and gently
Go to sleep
She didn't know how long it had passed, but she felt someone gently pushing her awake. She opened her eyes dimly and saw Yonghe's smiling handsome face. He leaned in and held her shoulders.
"Get off the car, we'll camp here today." He pulled her and half-carried her out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Meili realized that she had not gotten out of the car because she fell asleep, and other people had gathered on the small flat ground where the car was parked. Her and Yonghe's overly intimate posture attracted many people to look at her with cold eyes, but Yonghe seemed to still be there.
He held her hand unconsciously and frowned
Seeing the red mark on her forehead caused by leaning against the car for a long time, Meili tried to take her hand out of his. He still squeezed her hand tightly and blinked at him anxiously. Then he looked around in hindsight.
The people around me watched, and I reluctantly let go of my hand.
Xiaozhuang saw this and smiled at them. He looked at Ying Ru Fujin next to him with relief. Ying Ru Fujin secretly sighed and responded to the smile of his ancestor. He looked at his son helplessly and let it go.
At the beginning, I went to talk to other Fujin.
Jingxuan led some young people from the clan over to supervise the camp, and glanced coldly at Yonghe, who was still standing next to Meili.
Yonghe curled his lips secretly and smiled at Meili, then quickly followed Jingxuan and listened to his assignment of tasks.
Seeing his steady look as he took the order to lead the team to inspect the surroundings, Meili couldn't help but smile. He was like a naughty student pretending to be serious in front of his husband.
Looking back unintentionally, she found Jing Xuanhan looking at her with a sullen face. She was stunned, and smiled slightly. She had already stayed away from him according to his wishes, forgot about him, and found her own happiness. Why did he still use such disgusting eyes?
Look at her?
She followed her ancestor's team without looking away, and was extremely happy to find that no matter how he looked at her, it didn't matter to her... She was truly relieved. The smile spread from her eyes to the corners of her mouth, and she took a deep breath of the fragrant fragrance of the suburbs.
The air makes my whole body feel relaxed and comfortable, as if I'm about to fly with the wind
The tent was quickly set up, because there was no suitable place to camp within a day's walk, and there were many female dependents. The emperor took the elite Eight Banners to continue moving forward, while the ancestors took the female dependents to rest on the spot.
The camp was chosen extremely ideally, with flat and wide grassland beside mountains and rivers, and a clear river a few steps away from the camp. The girls who had settled down happily ran to the river to play in the water, which not only relieved the boredom of the journey but also bathed.
dust yourself off
Meili deliberately waited for most of the girls to come back, then slowly walked to the river. Sure enough, it was approaching evening, smoke was rising in the camp, and there was no one else on the river bank except the kitchen servants washing vegetables and fetching water. Meili watched silently.
When the surrounding scenery came out of the cold palace, she especially liked to see the vast mountains, forests and plains, or the quiet and secluded pastoral scenery, which gave her an indescribable sense of peace and stability in her heart.
She knelt down, half playing and half cleaning the cloth seriously. She was used to not applying any makeup, unlike other girls who were careful. She happily picked up water and wet her cheeks. The coolness of the river made her feel happy, and she even laughed out loud.
The sound comes, one handful after another
She played with the water and splashed it around. The water sparkled in the dim light of the setting sun. She smiled. At this moment, there was no pain in her heart, no humility and patience. She seemed to have returned to a carefree time.
Once...she was also such a naughty and lively girl
"You actually had a lot of fun."
The sarcastic and cold tone was spoken by the girl's delicate voice, which made it even more terrifying.
Meili did not turn around immediately. She wrung out the cloth handkerchief and wiped the water droplets from her face. Her smile was wiped away, and she regained her indifferent expression. Then she stood up and looked at the person speaking behind her.
As expected, it's impossible to be Gindi alone.
She raised her eyebrows and wanted to smile but couldn't. Why did Gin Ogi, who was staring at her with a raised eyebrow here, forget that if it was about bullying the weak and causing trouble, she was considered a senior.
She looked at the girls who were similar to her age opposite her one by one. They all glared at her with cold eyes and expressions of utmost contempt, but she knew that they were also cowardly in their hearts, otherwise they wouldn't have come in a large group. She and Sister Ziqing used to
Hate Ruoyu was very popular in front of men because she was so charming. He was so jealous that when he decided to "teach her a lesson", he didn't dare to go alone.
Jingxian stood behind these young girls with a sneer, seeming to be standing aside and watching with a cold eye. It was obvious that she was just watching her joke, and Meili, who was having fun for a while, looked at the ever-present resentment in her eyes and the sneer on the corner of her mouth. Jingxian
...Not yet freed from that blow, Meili sighed.
"You!" Yindi pointed at her fiercely, "Stay away from Yonghe!"
Meili didn't defend herself. The ancestor's marriage proposal was just a tacit understanding between the people involved. She shouldn't... and didn't want to say it first.
"Aren't you madly in love with brother Jingxuan?! Go ahead and like him! He's not even a blessing yet!" Sang Zhu was glared at by her cousin for a few times, and she felt that it was very unloyal to not actively come out to ask questions.
"Yes!" Someone came out to question first, and more and more people agreed. The girls talked all over the place, as if they were competing to see who was more vicious.
"You can't be so flirtatious?! The whole capital knows that the person you like is Brother Jingxuan!"
Watery poplar?
Meili listened to their curses, and this was the only sentence that struck her ears. She felt it was very ironic. Now that she finally let go of her heart and hands, she ended up with the reputation of being a playboy?
"Could it be..." She looked at the darkening dusk and whispered in a funny voice, "I haven't paid enough for that mistake?"
Her low voice somehow suppressed so many sharp voices at once. Everyone seemed to be choked, and the surroundings suddenly became silent.
All the girls closed their mouths with difficulty. Yes, everyone knew that because brother Jingxuan refused to have her at the beginning... She was thrown into the cold palace for two full years. In fact, it was so miserable that they could laugh at her poverty and ridicule her.
The lowly habits she developed in the cold palace, but she couldn't bear to laugh at her face to face. Her broken infatuation was all girls, and they all had him in their hearts. After all... they were not vicious enough to do so.
"Anyway, you... stay away from Yonghe!" Yindi said angrily. She had realized that even though they had more people, they were still defeated.
"You've made a mistake! It's me who wants to get close to her!" Yonghe walked out of the camp at some point and stood behind the girls for how long. He had a cold face and looked a little scary.
He stared at Yindi, "I'm telling you, I just like her, and I will marry her in the future! Don't let me see you bullying her again, or don't blame me for beating women," he warned with some teenage impulse.
Yin Di was hurt by his attitude, her face flushed with anger, "You want to marry her?!" She frantically touched Meili with her hand, "Do you know how mean she was when she pursued Jingxuan?
!She doesn’t like you at all. It’s because Jingxuan doesn’t want her anymore that she’s flirting with you!”
"Shut up!" Yonghe was so angry that he strode towards Yindi. His ferocious aura scared the girls to avoid each other. Meili was startled. He had a simple and impulsive personality and really hit Yindi. The consequences would be serious. She hurried.
I ran to pull him away. How could he, a young man, be so serious with the girl?
Could it be that...she felt a pain in her heart, that Yindi had said something that he cared about?
Although Yindi pretended to be fearless and raised her chin, when she saw Yonghyuk really getting angry, she was trembling with fear.
"I will tolerate you for the last time today!" Yonghe pointed his hand at the girls who turned pale, "If I hear you say bad things about her again, and if I see you bullying her again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Meili took his arm to stop his anger, and was amused and touched by his childish words.
Yonghyuk defended Meili so much in front of so many girls, Yindi lost all her dignity, burst into tears, covered her face and ran away
Jingxian gritted her teeth and watched this scene, and the resentment in her heart suddenly boiled. The man in the Palace of Supreme Harmony also insulted her in order to protect another woman! As a result, she could not hold her head high in front of the civil and military harem families of the Manchu Dynasty for the rest of her life!
Her eyes were filled with blood from hatred, she laughed coldly, and walked away.
Yonghe was so annoyed that he gasped, "It's so annoying, why would you marry me?!"
Meili looked at him with a wry smile, "You are a grown man who will be laughed at if you quarrel with girls like this..."
"What's wrong with grown men? Do grown men have to endure it?" he said with a glance.
She held his arm tightly and lowered her eyes. At this time, she didn't dare to look at him. It was her fault that caused him such criticism and anger. "Do you... care about it?" She said.
She really couldn't repeat what they said, and she could still order herself to be calm when listening, but in front of him, she still felt ashamed and guilty.
Yonghe was stunned, he didn't expect her to look at him like this, and frowned, "Meili, do you still like Brother Jingxuan?" He asked straightforwardly, without any hint of ambiguity.
Meili was stunned, suddenly not knowing how to answer
"I just want to know this question"
She lowered her eyes and shook her head, "No...I like it." She didn't know why she didn't dare to look into Yonghe's eyes and say. After all, her feelings for Jingxuan were real. Although it was ridiculous and shameful, it was over.
, but let her deny it coldly and resolutely, she can't do it
"That's good!" Yonghe didn't notice her dodge. He got the answer he wanted, and that was enough. His anger turned into joy in the blink of an eye, and he proudly slapped her drooping little face.
gave me a kiss
Meili glanced around in panic, fearing that the servants watching the excitement would see this excessive intimacy. Yonghe's cheerful low smile came to her ears, and she looked at him with some embarrassment. He was so angry that he quickly dissipated.
, Meili also smiled, he has a childish temper.
When dinner was approaching, Yonghe still had a lot of chores to do. When he arrived at the camp gate, Meili took the initiative to urge him to do it, so that Jingxuan, who was in charge of the job, would not accuse him of being procrastinating and lax.
Just as she was about to enter her tent, she heard a sneer. The night was already thinning. She followed the sound and saw Jingxuan leaning on the shady side of the tent with his arms folded.
Meili frowned briskly and said to him, "Happy Prince, good luck!" She didn't want to talk to him too much, so she pulled up the curtain and prepared to go in.
He quickly stretched out his arm and pulled her forcefully to the blind spot between the tents. His hand pinched her chin hard, which was very painful.
"Don't do this to me! Prince Qing... are we so strange, Meili?" He sneered, the sarcasm in his eyes was as strong as anger.
She glanced away and looked away from him, "Isn't it good to be strange...?"
He tightened his fingers again, forcing her to raise her head to look at him, "You must understand that you have been in the cold palace for two years, and it was your own misfortune that trampled people to death. It had nothing to do with me!" He leaned down, she was too thin.
Now...the original pink apple face has completely transformed into the beautiful face of a girl. When her big eyes stare at people, they are rippling...it makes people feel soft. He has never noticed that her eyes are so bright and so bright.
beautiful
"Yeah" she smiled flatly, yes, she had already told him, why bother to emphasize it again so angrily?
"The price you pay for that mistake... it has nothing to do with me!" he said almost ferociously.
She trembled. At that time...did he hear it?
The light was hazy, but he still saw that her pointed chin had turned blue from being pinched by him, and he couldn't help but relax his grip.
"Your man is so ridiculous! He jumped out and said those words, which will make those women hate you even more." He smiled sarcastically, "Like an idiot."
She looked at this handsome and charming man coldly, but in his eyes, Yonghe's scheming methods were as young as a fool. Maybe his temporary happiness made things worse, so what?
She also looked at him indifferently and smiled, and he was stung by her smile.
"No matter what, when I needed him...he stood up," she said with a bit of pride.
His eyes suddenly narrowed and he pursed his lips
"Why did you hesitate when you answered his question just now?" He stroked her chin with his finger coldly.
Being so close, she smelled the faint scent of jasmine on his body. She was familiar with this scent because she had smelled it on Suying. Her ancestors also praised the scent as being fresh and unique. It was the top jasmine fragrance. Xiaoxiao
One bottle is enough to cover the expenses of Prince Qian’s palace for several months.
He seemed to...see and hear everything. Moreover, even what Yonghe didn't notice, he also realized it.
She smiled, he would always stay aside and watch.
"Because, I feel guilty! I feel guilty about Yonghyuk!"
He stared at her for a while, gave a long sneer, waved his hand and let go of her, "Very good."
