Chapter 54
For his younger sister, the Third Prince had inexplicable awe of her since he was a child.Now that the door was closed, he felt a little nervous.

The third prince stumbled and explained: "Mengqi, the third brother actually doesn't want to trouble you, but if I don't bring Xiu'er, Er Niang will beat her to death in front of me. Xiu'er Although my son is not a member of the royal family, she grew up with me, and I can't really see her die in front of my eyes."

Shen Mengqi rolled up her sleeves and saw a dark scar on her pale arm, like an ink stain on the white rice paper, making people uncomfortable to look at.

"Third Brother, I still remember that when I was young, the imperial concubine invited me to ride a horse, but the horse lost control and I fell off the horse, and my arm hit the stone, leaving this indelible scar."

After the third prince heard Shen Mengqi mentioning this matter, his eyes darkened involuntarily. The scar on Shen Mengqi's body had always been his heart disease.If he hadn't listened to Er Niang's words and invited her to ride a horse back then, she wouldn't have fallen like this.

"Back then, the imperial concubine beat you half to death just like now, in exchange for keeping my mouth shut."

"Mengqi, this matter is third brother's fault, third brother."

"It's your fault, isn't it?"

Shen Mengqi looked at the third prince and said: "For so many years, the imperial concubine will push you out to ward off disasters whenever she does something or wants to achieve something. Are you her child or an eagle in the palm or a bird in a cage? What is the difference between you and this eagle in your hand?"

The third prince had a wry smile on his face, why didn't he know it, but...
"Mengqi, she is not my mother-in-law anymore, she is the mother-in-law who gave birth to me and raised me."

"She is your mother-in-law, but I am also your younger sister. The emperor's uncle has only three princes. The eldest brother was driven to the border by the imperial concubine and has not come back. The second brother's biological mother was born in the cold palace. As for him, he doesn't even have the status of a prince, do you really agree with the behavior of the imperial concubine?"

"Just because she is your mother-in-law, she can use you as a swordsman. Are you willing to help her even if she is targeting me?"

The third prince's face turned pale. He looked at Shen Mengqi who was questioning him, and hurriedly explained: "I never thought of treating you like this. I'll take Xiu'er away now. You can just pretend that I haven't been here today."

Seeing the figure of the third prince staggering out, Shen Mengqi closed her eyes helplessly. The moment he opened the door, Shen Mengqi finally relented, "Let Xiu'er stay, just this once."

The third prince turned around in surprise, looked at Shen Mengqi and said, "Okay, thank you."

Before the third prince left, Shen Mengqi still couldn't help reminding: "Third brother, there are dark waves surging in the capital right now. The palace, the harem, and the previous dynasty are all going to be uneasy. You can think about what I just said."

The third prince knew that Shen Mengqi said these words because of him as her own, and he turned to Shen Mengqi with a slight smile, "Mengqi, the third brother doesn't have any lofty ambitions, he can only play with a bird, but don't worry, this time I will take good care of my mother, and I will never let her get into trouble again."

After the third prince left, Xiu'er was brought in by Ye Wei. After seeing Shen Mengqi, Xiu'er kowtowed unceasingly, with a look of gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, thank you, Princess, for taking Your Highness!"

Shen Mengqi looked at Xiu'er in the hall and said: "If you want to thank, then thank the third prince."

"Ye Wei, send her back to Lanyue Pavilion, send all the maids left by the third prince back to the palace, and send a few personal servants to serve her."

"Yes."

Ye Wei raised his hand to call for a servant, picked up Xiu'er and carried her outside.

Shen Mengqi's words came from behind Xiu'er, "Third brother, he is thinking of the love you grew up with him and begged this princess to keep you. If you really have the heart, you will know what is good for him and do what is right for him." What's wrong with him."

When the third prince was mentioned, Xiu'er's eyes darkened, and she said in a low voice: "Xiu'er understands, thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

After everyone dispersed, Shen Mengqi picked up the official files brought back from the official department and began to read, but before reading two pages, Lin Jihan came back.

Shen Mengqi originally didn't want to pay attention, but was forcibly hugged by Lin Jihan.

"what are you doing!"

Lin Jihan said: "It's time to have dinner."

"I'm not hungry, my lord, you can go by yourself."

"Is it caused by Miss Xiu'er?"

Seeing Shen Mengqi frowned, Lin Jihan couldn't help explaining, for fear that Shen Mengqi would misunderstand.

"When I went back to the mansion today, I changed all the maids who served me, so I just asked a question."

Looking at Shen Mengqi who lacked interest, Lin Jihan hugged Shen Mengqi on his left arm like a child, and gently scratched her nose with his right hand.

"You did a great job on this matter. The maidservant of the king is naturally a confidant in the mansion. With them watching Xiu'er, you don't have to worry about what tricks she can make, and you can even sell your third brother's face. .”

"Also," Lin Jihan whispered in Shen Mengqi's ear: "After having a wife, I hope that my wife will help me with changing clothes and bathing in the future, so there is no need for a maid to serve her. What do you say?"

Shen Mengqi glared at Lin Jihan and said, "You are dreaming, I am married to you, not sold to you."

Lin Jihan bit Shen Mengqi's ear, and said in a fierce voice: "Sooner or later, I will let you willingly do this for this king."

Shen Mengqi couldn't help but sarcastically said: "The prince can really sleep, he is always dreaming sooner or later."

Lin Jihan hugged Shen Mengqi fiercely, took a sip of incense on her face and said, "I let you say everything."

"Let's go and have dinner."

Shen Mengqi struggled to slide off Lin Jihan's body, she took two steps back to distance herself from Lin Jihan and said, "My lord, I'm not hungry, you can go by yourself."

Lin Jihan grabbed Shen Mengqi's hand, regardless of whether she agreed or not, he pulled her and ran towards Juxing Pavilion, "But I can't eat without looking at you, my little appetizer , even if you don’t want to eat, you have to eat with me!”

Shen Mengqi was forcibly dragged away by Lin Jihan, she gritted her teeth and looked at Lin Jihan's back and cursed in a low voice: "Despotism, idiot, too much!"

Provoking Lin Jihan to smile for a while, he looked back at Shen Mengqi while running and said, "If I am a dictator and hate ghosts, then you are a childish madman and a vengeful monster!"

"you"

After Lin Jihan made such a fuss, Shen Mengqi managed to eat a few mouthfuls of food, although it wasn't much, but she wouldn't be too hungry later.

After being tormented by Lin Jihan, Shen Mengqi slept quite deeply this time.

On the second day, she was woken up by a quarrel outside the courtyard.

"Why can she go back to the palace but I can't. If not, I need to ask Her Royal Highness the princess, get out of the way!"
