"I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
"Your Highness." Sun Mengmeng suddenly glared and asked Ye Shihan the moment he turned around, "Your Highness, are you trying to avoid me on purpose?"
"No, something really happened."
"I don't think so. Why was His Highness okay when he was in a daze here just now? Something happened when I came here? Does His Highness hate me so much?"
She suddenly raised her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Your Highness, if you really hate me, you might as well just say it, and I won't stay here anymore."
Hearing her say this, Ye Shihan suddenly felt happy. Could it be that she had thought about it?
So, he raised his hand and clenched his fist to cover his mouth, coughed lightly, took two steps forward and came to her,
"I know that you are a good girl. It is fair to think about it. Why don't you go back to your own home first? Grand Master Sun and Mrs. Sun must also miss you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Mengmeng suddenly looked up at him, "Your Highness is asking me to leave?"
Ye Shihan shook his head, "No, I'm afraid that your father and mother will miss you, and you will miss them too."
"Then does His Highness like me?" She did not answer his words, but asked him in turn.
like?
This is totally out of the question. He, Ye Shihan, doesn't seem to like other people. So far, he has never liked a woman.
"Mengmeng, I...I treat you as my sister, just like Jiaoyue."
He thought of comforting her, coaxing her away first, and then finding a way to coax Xiao Yuanyuan away, then everything would be fine.
Sun Mengmeng's eyes suddenly turned red, she covered her mouth and began to sob.
"I don't want to be His Highness's sister. His Highness still hates me even after saying this. In this case, my life is meaningless."
After saying that, she couldn't help but jumped over the railing beside the pavilion, and jumped directly. With a "pop" sound, there was a splash of water on the water, and she actually jumped into the lake.
Before Ye Shihan could react, Xin'er had already started screaming, "Ah, the lady has fallen into the water, help, help."
It didn't matter if he shouted, everyone gathered around him, and Sun Mengmeng also started to flutter under the water.
Ye Shihan didn't dare to think too much, and quickly jumped over the pavilion railing. Fortunately, the lake was not deep, and after a while, he pulled Sun Mengmeng to the shore.
Everyone was about to step forward to lift her up, but she refused with a weak voice, "I want Your Highness to hold me."
Hearing this, Ye Shihan lay on his back on the grass by the lake and looked at the sky. Oh my god, which evil star did he attract in his last life? God wanted to send this woman to torture him?
Xin'er urged urgently, "Your Highness, please carry the young lady into the house quickly. The young lady is weak and will catch a cold soon."
Ye Shihan waved his hand, "I can't do it anymore. I have no strength. Please help your lady into the house quickly."
"No... no, I want His Highness to hold me, otherwise, I won't live."
As she spoke, she stood up with her arms supported, and rushed to the river again. A group of girls rushed forward to stop her.
"Miss, don't do anything stupid, miss."
Xin'er called anxiously and looked back at him, "Is Your Highness going to die without saving you?"
Ye Shihan frowned helplessly. He stood up and without any explanation, he picked up Sun Mengmeng and walked towards the east wing.
Sun Mengmeng raised her arms and put her arms around his neck. This was the first time she had such close contact with him. Looking at his handsome chin, her cheeks turned red unconsciously.
Ye Shihan did not lower his head to look at her. He was bored by such a capable woman. At least after this experience, he had decided that she was not suitable for him.
But even though he thought so, he couldn't refuse directly, otherwise if she really died in his mansion, not to mention Taishi Sun, even the emperor would not let him go.
This hot potato is so hot that I can’t eat it and throw it away...
Master Sun soon found out about Miss Sun falling into the lake.
At noon, a group of people came shouting and cheering inside the palace.
Not only Grand Master Sun and his family, but also General Xiao.
The purpose of Xiao Yuanyuan's return home today was to ask her brother to help persuade His Highness Seventh. Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned to the palace, she heard that Sun Mengmeng fell into the lake, and His Highness personally rescued her and carried her back to the house.
She couldn't help but feel a little angry about this.
In the main hall of the palace, the Queen Mother and the Concubine were sitting high in the hall, Grand Master Sun and Mrs. Sun were sitting on the left side, General Xiao and Ye Shihan were sitting on the right side, and Princess Jiaoyue stood aside and peeked.
They all looked solemn, as if they were here to collect debts.
The Queen Mother cleared her throat, picked up the tea cup at hand, raised the lid to let the tea foam float, and took a sip. Seeing that everyone was watching her, she put down the cup and spoke,
"Grand Master Sun, General Xiao, what are you doing with such aggressiveness? Do you want to raise an army to investigate?"
The Queen Mother's tone was somewhat majestic, and her voice was naturally displeased.
Grand Master Sun hurriedly raised his hands and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, I don't dare. I just want to seek justice for my little daughter. My daughter Mengmeng has lived in His Highness the Seventh Prince's residence for almost two months, but His Highness has not given a clear answer yet.
I even jumped into the river today, how can I continue like this?"
Hearing what he said, Ye Shihan clasped his fists helplessly, "Grand Master Sun, why don't you let Mengmeng go back to the palace to raise her? What do you mean by living in my palace all the time?"
"What do you mean, Your Highness? Could it be that you chose Miss Xiao?"
Just as General Xiao was about to laugh, Ye Shihan hurriedly denied, "That's not the case. Miss Sun and Miss Xiao are both the most talented women in this capital. Let me choose. It's really hard for me to make a choice. How about this, both ladies are both
Go back first and discuss this matter later."
"no,"
"no."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yuanyuan and Sun Mengmeng rushed in and rejected his proposal together.
Master Sun couldn't help but frown when he saw this, "Didn't I tell you to rest? Why did you run out? Go back quickly."
Sun Mengmeng came to Mrs. Sun delicately and held her hand tenderly, "Mom, I don't want to go back. If His Highness doesn't agree to my promise, I won't go back even one day."
"Insolent, how can a girl who has not left the court speak like this?"
Master Sun stared at Sun Mengmeng, feeling a little worried about his face.
Sun Mengmeng nuzzled at him, "I'm not going back anyway. I can't go back until Miss Xiao does."
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanyuan shook her head directly, "Of course I won't go back. I can chat with the queen mother and concubine in the palace. It's too boring to go back to the general's palace, so I won't go back."
"If she doesn't reply, I won't either." Sun Mengmeng coquettishly took Mrs. Sun's hand, "Mom, I don't want to go back, otherwise I will be overtaken by Xiao Yuanyuan, and His Highness will definitely choose her."
Ye Shihan frowned angrily. Seeing this, General Xiao glared at Xiao Yuanyuan, and then comforted him,
"Sister, go back with me. We have everything in the general's mansion. Besides, you can't live here forever. Now the news has spread all over the capital. It doesn't sound good to say this out loud."
