The queen mother is charming

Chapter 27 Tonight, I'll Wait For You
Meng Xiuli is the son of his father's colleague, and the two families can be regarded as family friends. In the past, when his father was alive, they often visited each other.

At that time, Mu Qingchao was still young, and he often heard his father joke with Uncle Meng, saying that Yaoyao would marry into the Meng family as a daughter-in-law when he grew up.

Uncle Meng said with a smile that he wanted it, but no one took it seriously.

Later, her father died of illness, and her mother took her to join the Zhong family.

At that time, Meng Xiuli even came to see her off once, and sent his jade pendant to Mu Qingchao, telling her that if she had any difficulties in the future, she could come to him.

But why did Mu Qingchao not understand the principle of people drinking tea?
With her father gone, their family and the Meng family have no interests involved, and no one will help her for no reason.

So Mu Qingchao hid the jade pendant at the bottom of the box and never took it out once.

It was Meng Xiuli who came to her several times, brought her cake bait, and gave her jewelry twice.

Every time Mu Qingchao refused to accept his things, and told him that they were unmarried men and women, and there were gossips outside, so they should see each other less in the future.

At that time, Meng Xiuli said with certainty: "What is there to be afraid of? When Uncle Meng was alive, he said that he would betroth you to me. The two of us will get married sooner or later."

Mu Qingchao was actually not the kind of girl who was full of fantasies. At that time, she knew very well that there was a long distance between her and Shen Muchi.

Her father is gone, she has nothing to rely on, and her uncle is not willing to help her plan. If she can marry a man like Meng Xiuli and become the head of the house, it is already the best way out for her at that time.

But later.

Later, my uncle wanted to send her to the palace.

The mother was in a hurry and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the Meng family in a hurry.

"Didn't Xiuli always say that he wanted to marry Yaoyao from our family? Then let the two children get married as soon as possible. Our family doesn't want any betrothal gifts, just get married as soon as possible."

"We were best friends with you when Chang Ting was here, and now that Yaoyao is in this difficult situation, please, please help her..."

The mother's posture is humbled to the dust.

But what did the Meng family say?
Mrs. Meng said: "Mrs. Zhong, look at what you said, the jokes of the two children, how can you take it seriously?"

"Didn't Sister Chao go to the palace to enjoy the blessings? Serving the Holy Majesty, she will become a concubine in the future, with great glory and wealth, and even we have to kneel and kowtow when we see each other."

The mother was full of disappointment, and she put her hope on Mr. Meng.

Master Meng said: "Forgive me Madam Zhong, it's not that we don't want to help, it's that the dog has already told him.

It's the third lady of the Ministry of Officials, in terms of status, it's more suitable for our family to practice rituals..."

To put it mildly and ficklely.

It means that a family without a father is not worthy of discussing marriage with them.

In fact, it was the ending that had already been expected, but when I left, I was always disappointed.

Mu Qingchao remembered very clearly that when his mother was rejected by the Meng family, Meng Xiuli always hid behind the screen.

He saw all of this in his eyes, saw her begging in a low voice, saw her self-esteem being crushed, and saw her despair... From the beginning to the end, he never said a word for her.

In fact, Mu Qingchao didn't blame him. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. At that time, she was not good enough for him.

But she hated him when he knew he couldn't marry her, but he couldn't bear her appearance, and pestered her endlessly regardless of her reputation.

At this time, Meng Xiuli came forward, with a smile on his face, as if he had forgotten all the past.

"How are you doing these days?" he asked.

He seemed to really miss her, so much that he couldn't help but stepped forward to hold her hand.

Meng Lang's posture was the same as before.

Mu Qingchao withdrew his hand abruptly: "Young Master Meng is concerned, Ai's family is doing well."

Seeing her like this, Meng Xiuli had a trace of astonishment on his face, but then he smiled embarrassingly: "I think, you are living a good life now, and you look a little better than before."

Mu Qingchao was 14 years old when he did not enter the palace, and now it has been more than a year, and he is almost 16 years old. From an immature girl, he has gradually grown into a mature charm.

Like peaches at the right time, when they are juicy and juicy, just looking at them makes people want to take a bite.

"Once upon a time..."

Meng Xiuli lowered his eyes: "I was the one who failed you in the past."

After saying this, he anxiously explained: "But you know, I always have you in my heart, and I can't help it."

Mu Qingchao was a little amused when he heard this.

To have her in my heart is to covet her beauty, spend time with her blindly, and hide aside when something happens?
If you have her in your heart, you just don't care about her, and now you don't care about her reputation to pretend to be with her?

She remembered that in her previous life, when she died in the imperial prison and her body was hung on the tower, this good bamboo horse never thought of running around for her.

Mu Qingchao smiled.

"No need, what happened in the past is already in the past, and I don't blame you."

But it was this sentence that provoked Meng Xiuli to take a sudden step forward and grabbed her hand.

"Sister Yaoyao, I knew that you can understand me. Don't worry, I will find a way to make up for the past mistakes."

make up……

What a ridiculous statement.

Mu Qingchao subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but when he looked up, he saw Zhong Ming.

Zhong Ming's eyes also turned to this side, and fell on her and Meng Xiuli, his eyes were obscured by the dark night.

Mu Qingchao suddenly changed his color and took his hand back slowly, but he gave Meng Xiuli a charming look.

"Brother Xiuli can have this kind of heart, so my younger sister will be willing to die."

This sentence can be said to touch Meng Xiuli's heart, look, she really has not forgotten him.

But I heard Mu Qingchao say: "It's just that there are many people here, if someone else sees it, my sister, I'm not afraid of anything, anyway, I'm alone, so it's fine if I die.

Brother Xiuli, you are different, you still have a marriage contract, you must not get dirty, you still have the reputation of the entire Meng family. "

But with a few words, Meng Xiuli's heart was already aroused, and now looking at Mu Qingchao's cute and pitiful appearance, he was like a cat smelling fish.

"Then...according to my sister, what should I do?" Meng Xiuli asked.

"Later, let's find another place in the dead of night to have a good talk, okay?"

OK, OK, of course it's excellent.

"Then when will it be?" Meng Xiuli asked hastily.

But Mu Qingchao stretched out a jade hand and pushed gently: "The time is right, I will give you instructions."

Seeing this, Meng Xiuli couldn't help but wanted to touch her hand, but she was hastily pulled away, and he was left blank. He felt more and more scratching his heart, watching her turn and leave back full of amorous feelings.

Mu Qingchao turned around and met a pair of deep eyes.

She was startled, and finally suppressed the panic in her heart, and shouted at the man: "Master Jiang, what a coincidence."
