Solitary pet

Chapter 221

He Sheng was taken aback for a moment, what the mother-in-law said was so strange.Answer: "My mother-in-law's relatives, that is, my relatives, how can I have any dissatisfaction?"

Concubine De let go of a stone in her heart.

After all, who doesn't know about the matter of Zizhi's love for Hao'er in the capital?
He Shengding also knew about it.

When He Sheng returned to his mansion, he ordered someone to vacate the wing room, ready to receive the guests.

Cuiyu asked a lot, but Hesheng directly said that she was Mei Zhongshu's daughter.

Cuiyu and a group of maidservants shut up instantly, hiding the astonishment in their eyes.

The empress also has a big heart, and she can happily welcome her rival into the house to live there.

Is this kind of heart common to ordinary people?
Because she is a relative of Concubine De, and Concubine De personally called her into the palace to explain the matter of welcoming guests, He Sheng was determined to do this well so that the guests would feel at home.

After finishing everything, lying on the bed at night, staring at the tassels in a daze, something flashed through my mind, and I suddenly remembered it.

——Is this Mei Rongzhi the same Mei Rongzhi, the daughter of the Mei family who is said to have been in love with the prince for ten years?
He Sheng sat up in shock and hurriedly called Cuiyu over.

Cuiyu rushed over wearing a coat, raised her eyes and saw He Shenghua's face turned pale, with a look of fear on her face, she quickly asked: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

He Sheng swallowed, and asked, "Let me ask you, how many daughters does the Mei family have? What are their names?"

Cuiyu thought about it carefully, and answered: "There are two, the eldest girl, Mei Manzhi, and the second girl, Mei Manyue."

It really is her.

He Sheng buried his face in the quilt in frustration, beat the bed with one hand, and beat his head with the other.

Why didn't I think of it at the time!

It's all right now, in front of her mother-in-law, she is happy and happy about what she deserves, and she doesn't even want to go back on her word.

Where is the distinguished guest, it is clearly a rival in love!
Cuiyu thought something happened, so she asked cautiously, "Your Majesty?"

He Sheng raised a face full of regret and asked, "Cuiyu, have you seen that girl Mei?"

Now that the matter has come to an end, it is useless for her to complain any longer. Since she personally agreed, she can only accept it calmly.

But, why does this Miss Mei want to live in the mansion?
The prince is not here, why is Miss Mei coming to see her, the mistress?

Cuiyu replied: "We don't have the chance to meet each other, but the girls in the boudoir respect her very much. They say she is a beauty with both ability and virtue."

A person who can convince all the rich ladies has her own merits.

He Sheng felt uneasy, and wanted to know more, but Cuiyu couldn't say anything more.

He Sheng fell headlong, rolling around with his pillow in his arms.

On the day when the plum branch came to the door, the weather turned fine, and there were a few strands of golden light behind the clouds, which shone warmly on people.

He Sheng greeted people at the side door, with a calm face and anxious heart.

She didn't know why she was so nervous, it's just that the person who came to the door was the prince's childhood sweetheart, and he was related to her cousin.

He Sheng shook his head, oh, why panic!
The sedan chair of the Mei Mansion came, it was light and small, and there were not many accompanying maidservants.

"Girl, we're here." The maid Hua Sheng raised the curtain, and helped the plum tree get off the sedan chair.

He Sheng stared with wide eyes.

I saw a woman in a white silk jacket, wearing a snow-colored cloak, with her heart tied in a bun, a face like a silver plate, a pointed chin, slightly frowning willow-leaf eyebrows, with a bit of Xi Shi's fragility.

Step by step, with a magnificent posture, he came to him, raised his face, and smiled at Hesheng.

"I've seen the side concubine."

He yelled the word "side" very emphatically, and He Sheng looked at the beautiful and pale person in front of him, and replied, "Hello, Miss Mei."

The two walked side by side.

Mei Yanzhi turned her head to one side, without any shyness, her gaze was fixed on He Sheng.

When brother Hao got married, she was sick and couldn't get out of bed to watch the ceremony, and it took until today to have a chance to meet the woman he married.

The eyes are like cut autumn water, and the appearance is really good.

But did brother Hao really marry her because of her good looks?
Mei Yanzhi withdrew her gaze and looked around at the old scene, and the scenes of the past came back to her mind.

When she was young, she used to live in Pingling Prince's Mansion, facing Brother Hao day and night, although she couldn't touch her, she knew that Brother Hao had her in his heart.

Before she was ill, her father did not allow outsiders to spread the news, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world. The matter between brother Hao and this girl was full of turmoil. Although she hadn't heard all about it, she could still guess.

She didn't speak, He Sheng simply didn't pick a word, just waited, no one would talk to anyone anyway.

When passing by the main hall, Mei Rongzhi stopped suddenly and asked, "Where is your empress living now? Is my guest room far or near to your empress' residence?"

He Sheng sketched in his heart, gestured, and said, "Miss Mei's residence is in the west wing, and I live in the main hall, separated by a certain distance."

Mei Yanzhi lowered her eyelashes.

Actually living in the main hall, the treatment only available to the main concubine, Brother Hao gave it to her now.

Seeing that her face was paler than before, He Sheng asked politely, "Miss Mei, you are not in good health, do you need someone to carry the soft sedan?"

Mei Yanzhi covered her chest, twitched the corners of her mouth, and smiled wryly: "I'm sorry for your trouble."

She sat in a soft sedan chair, and He Sheng couldn't walk with her feet, so she also took a soft sedan chair.

In the west wing, Hua Sheng supported Mei Zhizhi to sit down, Mei Zhizhi coughed a few times, looked up at He Sheng for a long time, and asked, "The room is stuffy, would you like to walk around the garden with me?"

He Sheng put down a cup of tea, feeling strange, and replied, "Okay."

Compared with the previous anxiety, He Sheng was thinking more about how to let Mei Yongzhi spend this short stay in peace.

...I feel that the sickly appearance of this Mei girl is in danger of falling down at any time.

If Mei Yongzhi really fell in Pingling Palace, as the master, how should she explain to her mother-in-law and Mei Zhongshu?
Anyway, the prince is not in the mansion now, even if Miss Mei really wanted to rob someone, someone had to let her rob him.The most urgent task is to do a good job in host etiquette as much as possible.

When we arrived in the garden, the wind was strong, He Sheng glanced aside, fearing that she would be blown away by the wind, he told Hua Sheng, "Help your girl well."

Mei Yanzhi smiled palely: "Thank you side concubine for your concern."

He Sheng smiled awkwardly.

When others called her side concubine, it didn't sound like much. After all, she was indeed a side concubine, but for some reason, when Mei Yanzhi called her side concubine, her tone seemed a little weird?

He Sheng couldn't tell what was wrong, but felt a little condescending.She frowned, and a bad thought crossed her mind: Miss Mei wouldn't want to marry into Pingling Palace as a concubine, would she?
