Solitary pet

Chapter 220

Concubine De was stunned, and hurried to help him, but he clutched his hands tightly and refused to get up.

"Brother, what are you doing! How can a brother kneel down for his sister, get up!"

She was really frightened, Mei Zhongshu has always been strict and strict, even in front of his family, he never showed his feelings easily.

His kneeling is really amazing.

Mei Zhongshu looked up, his eyes dodged, and he was quite ashamed of what he was about to say.I was also forced to have no choice but to ask for such a thing.

"I'm here today because of Zizhi."

Concubine De is a smart person, she understood everything when he said it, but she didn't point it out, she just said: "... counting the days, Yun Zhi is twenty years old this year, time flies so fast in the blink of an eye."

It's not that she doesn't understand what Zong Zhi thinks about Hao'er, but if Hao'er wants to marry her now, she has already married her, how could it be delayed until now?

Although Zizhi is good, it can't cure Haoer's illness.

Mei Zhongshu continued: "Sister, the Third Highness is quite favored these days, the sage may have moved the idea of ​​betrotting Zizhi to the Third Highness, but Minzhi heard the news from nowhere, and was so angry that he fell seriously ill again. ..."

Concubine De sighed, and finally helped Mei Zhongshu up.

"Brother, thanks to your participation in politics for many years, you can't see through the tricks of such a child? His Highness asked someone to tell them about it. The saint just said something to him. Zizhi promised it to him."

Mei Zhongshu didn't understand this truth, it's just that he was too concerned about his daughter, so he lost his position for a while, and because of Mei Yongzhi's pleading, he only entered the palace today to ask.

Concubine De thought that this was why he entered the palace, so she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and asked about Yun Zhi's condition.

Mei Yanzhi was weak and sickly since she was a child, and became ill because of Shen Hao's incident when she was an adult. She was weak, sick, and lacked energy.

This is also the reason why Concubine De liked her very much at first, but gradually alienated her later.

This child is too stubborn.

"The imperial doctor said that Zizhi's illness can't be dragged on any longer. If it drags on, I'm afraid..." Mei Zhongshu sighed, with a sad expression on his face: "Her illness is rooted in her heart. The person who must tie the bell, I beg my sister to grant her wish once, okay?"

Concubine De's eyes darkened, and she asked, "What does elder brother want me to do? Do you want a marriage from the saint?"

"Sister, don't worry, although Minzhi loves His Highness the Second Highness, she doesn't have that kind of thought. She wants to live in Pingling Palace for a few days."

De Fei was silent.

Mei Zhongshu's heart froze, and he made a gesture to kneel down again.For the sake of his daughter, so what if he showed his old face?As long as he thinks of Zi Zhi's depressed appearance all day long, he, as a father, will feel a tight pain in his heart.

This child is the same as her mother, she would rather never marry than give up. The difference is that her mother found him, while Li Zhi found her sweetheart, but she never got her long-cherished wish for many years.

After a long time, Concubine De made a sound, her tone was flat and mixed with a bit of coldness: "Brother, you are a modest person. Since this is what brother asked, then I can only agree to it, but, there is one thing, brother Do remember."

Before she could finish speaking, Mei Zhongshu patted his knees, stood up, and bowed gratefully, "Don't worry, Madam, Zizhi has not recovered from his illness for a long time. His body is broken, but his heart is not broken."

His own daughter, he couldn't be more clear.It is definitely not the kind of person who waits for the dirty and jealous.

Concubine De nodded, she didn't have much to say, she personally sent Mei Zhongshu out of the hall, and confessed: "After I discuss with the side concubine in the mansion, I will send someone to pick up the branches."

"Hey." Mei Zhongshu said goodbye, "Then I will wait for my sister's good news."

After seeing off Mei Zhongshu, Concubine De's scalp felt numb, she rubbed her temples, feeling very annoyed.

This matter is not big or small.

The elder brother came to beg in person, even if she didn't think about the brother-sister relationship in the past, considering Mei Zhongshu's help to Hao'er these years, she had to accept this favor.

It's not that Min Zhi has never lived in Prince Pingling's mansion. In the few years when Hao'er first opened the mansion, she was the one who ran the most diligently into the mansion.

Zizhi is a well-known talented woman who is proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows how to advance and retreat and observe etiquette. Such an intelligent and quiet woman is the most suitable to marry as a daughter-in-law.

Helpless, Hao'er doesn't like it.

The fingertips were lying on the hair between her foreheads, Concubine De was in a bad mood, so she took off the fingertips and threw them on the desk.

Why did he choose this time to enter the mansion, aiming at Hesheng?
Concubine De recruited Shirui into the palace and ordered: "Go to the palace and summon the side concubine."

He Sheng happened to be entering the palace too, and the Buddhist scriptures that had been transcribed a few days ago had been framed and made into a large booklet, which was quite heavy to hold.

After entering the Deqing Palace, first present the Buddhist scriptures.

Concubine De really liked it very much, she turned it over and read several pages carefully, praising He Sheng for his filial piety again and again.

After chatting for a while, seeing He Sheng's lack of energy, Concubine De asked aloud, "Have you ever had any troubles in the past few days?"

He Sheng lowered his head, pursed his lips and said no.

You can't tell your mother-in-law that it's because she misses the prince too much, right?How embarrassing to say it.

Concubine De took her hand and asked: "Hao'er is not here, you are alone in the mansion, you will feel lonely after thinking about it."

Her daughter-in-law here is kind-hearted, she has never experienced any strong wind and rain, and nothing else, she is just worried that the matter of Yan Zhi's entry into the house will affect the relationship between the young couple.

As for women, they are all the same, how could they like to have other people to share their grace?So, this reason has to be found, and it has to be as smooth as possible.

He Sheng blinked, "Thank you mother-in-law for your concern, I'm really not used to it when the prince is not here, just bear with it."

Concubine De rubbed the back of her hand, not knowing how to speak, the topic went around for several times, but finally returned to the original point.

"Hao'er has an uncle who is Mei Zhongshu of the current dynasty. His daughter Mei Yongzhi is also my niece. She lived in Pingling Palace for a while when she was young. She misses the old scene and wants to live in the mansion for a while. .”

When He Sheng heard that she was asked to entertain guests, he immediately agreed.

It happened that she was in a hurry in the mansion, and it was just right that someone came to accompany her.

But, why does this name sound so familiar?Mei Yanzhi, I always feel as if I have seen it somewhere?

Concubine De didn't expect that she deserved it so quickly, she thought she was open-minded and never took such things to heart.

That being the case, it couldn't be better.He instructed: "If you have any dissatisfaction with her, just come to me."
