The foolish king's contract princess

Chapter 45
On the second day, Nan Mengjie didn't go out because she slept late the night before, so it was rare for her to sleep late.Nan Mengjie accompanied Ye Yuchen after lunch, the two of them changed their clothes and arranged everything before going to the palace to attend the palace banquet.

"Little Yuchen, when you enter the palace, you must take Xia Yu with you wherever you go," Nan Mengjie, who was sitting in the carriage, took Ye Yuchen's hand and instructed him carefully.

Nan Mengjie knew that the queen of the palace banquet came to speak in person, and it must be because of Wang Rong's matter.She was afraid that someone would attack Ye Yuchen while she was away after entering the palace, so she gave Ye Yuchen special instructions.

"My lady, you always accompany me every time I enter the palace. Why do you want Xia Yu to accompany me this time? I don't want Xia Yu, I want my lady," Ye Yuchen said, leaning against Nan Mengjie.

Ye Yuchen's words made Xia Yu, who was driving outside, laugh in his heart. This time when Nan Mengjie entered the palace, no matter whether he faced the Queen or Ning and Princess, Ye Yuchen would not be by his side. Due to Chen's achievements, now he still has to act cute and pretend to be stupid. Xia Yu really admires his master's acting skills from the bottom of his heart.

"Today, I'm going to talk to the queen, and I'll talk to you after I'm done, okay?" Nan Mengjie comforted Ye Yuchen with a smile.

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife," Ye Yuchen obediently agreed to Nan Mengjie's words.

As Nan Mengjie expected, the queen summoned her as soon as she entered the palace.

"Fifth Imperial Concubine, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I really miss you," the queen pretended to be virtuous and looked at Nan Mengjie with a smile.

"The concubine thanked the empress for her concern. Because of the special situation of the fifth prince, the concubine could not go to the palace to pay her respects to the empress. I also hope that the empress will make amends."

"Fifth Imperial Concubine, I am serious. I saw you today mainly because I wanted to talk to you. A few days ago, I learned that Wang Rong died suddenly and there were rumors in the capital, so I wanted to ask Fifth Imperial Concubine. "

"Empress, you are looking for the wrong person. The concubine stays with the fifth prince at the mansion all day long, and has no information about the outside affairs. It is also because of the rumors in the capital that this concubine entered the palace. , I also want the emperor to be the master and stop the rumors in the capital," Nan Mengjie smiled and fooled the queen.

"In this case, the palace is looking for another concubine for the fifth prince, what does the fifth prince think?" the queen asked Nan Mengjie tentatively.

"It's a good idea. I would like to thank the Empress on behalf of the Fifth Prince." Nan Mengjie did not reject the Queen's proposal, but accepted it with a smile.

"Since the fifth imperial concubine said so, then I will worry about the fifth prince again," said the queen with a gentle smile, but Nan Mengjie caught the flash of ruthlessness in her eyes.

Nan Mengjie glanced at the queen with a smile, but did not answer.After drinking a sip of tea, the two chatted for a while, and Nan Mengjie withdrew from the empress' bedroom.

Nan Mengjie left the Queen's bedroom, and when she was going to find Ye Yuchen, she was stopped by Princess Ning and the maid.

"Fifth Concubine, Ning and Princess are waiting for Fifth Concubine at the gazebo by the fish pond and want to meet you."

"Lead the way," Nan Mengjie and Ye Yudie had nothing to do with each other. Although Nan Mengjie was puzzled, she didn't make things difficult for the maid, and let the maid lead the way.

Nan Mengjie knew about Ning and Princess, and they had met several times at palace banquets. It was no secret that she liked Gong Yanhao among the nobles in the capital.Through observation at the palace banquet, Nan Mengjie found that when the princess looked at Gong Yanhao, her eyes were full of admiration.

"Sister-in-law Wuhuang, I realized that you are a great beauty after seeing each other up close." Ye Yudie held Nan Mengjie's hand and smiled innocently.

"Princess was joking. According to this imperial concubine, the princess is a beauty." Nan Mengjie saw some strange expressions in Ye Yudie's eyes. She knew that Ye Yudie was definitely not as innocent as she appeared.

"Sister-in-law Wuhuang, today, I have business with you and I want to ask you for help," Ye Yudie took Nan Mengjie's hand coquettishly.

"Tell me, I'll see if I can help the princess," Nan Mengjie smiled and pulled her hand from Ye Yudie's.

"The few times I went out of the palace to look for Gong Shizi, he didn't see me. I want to ask Fifth Emperor's Wife to deliver a letter to Gong Shizi," Ye Yudie asked Nan Mengjie tentatively.

"Princess, I have only met Gong Shizi a few times in the palace, and we are not familiar with each other. I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter."

Nan Mengjie finally knew the purpose of Ye Yudie's meeting this time, it seemed to be to test the relationship between her and Gong Yanhao.Nan Mengjie was very puzzled at this moment, how could Ye Yudie suspect the relationship between the two, she always went to see Gong Yanhao in secret every time, and no outsider knew about the real relationship between the two.

"Sister-in-law Wu Huang, can you help me?"

"Princess, I really can't help you with this matter. Gong Shizi has no contact with the Fifth Prince's Mansion. You are acquainted with Gong Shizi and he will not see you. I am a stranger, and I am afraid that I will not be able to see him even more."

Nan Mengjie would not admit that she was acquainted with Gong Yanhao even if she was beaten to death. If she showed any signs of acquaintance with Gong Yanhao at this time, according to how much Ye Yudie likes Gong Yanhao, she might be treated immediately. Flip.

"Sister-in-law Wuhuang," Ye Yudie hadn't finished speaking, and when she turned around, she pretended to be unsteady and fell towards the fish pond. When falling down, she not only pretended to panic and held Nan Mengjie's hand, but also took the opportunity He kicked Nan Mengjie hard on the calf.

Nan Mengjie didn't expect Ye Yudie to do such a trick suddenly. When she realized it, she could have let go of Ye Yudie's hand to stabilize her body, but in order to cause some unnecessary troubles afterwards, Nan Mengjie followed Ye Yudie Butterfly fell towards the fish pond.

"Ah, help," Ye Yudie yelled for help in the fish pond.

Nan Mengjie can swim, but not only did she not save Ye Yudie, she also did not swim to the shore, but soaked in the water and pretended to be flapping her hands.It wasn't that Nan Mengjie didn't want to get out of the fish pond, but that she was afraid that Ye Yudie would take advantage of her ability to swim and be framed.

Just as the maid on the bank was calling for help, a figure jumped into the fish pond and swam to Nan Mengjie's side.At this moment, two or three figures also jumped into it.

Gong Yanhao jumped down first, and saved Nan Mengjie under Ye Yudie's expectant eyes.The eunuch who jumped down behind rescued Ye Yudie.

"Little girl, are you alright?" Gong Yanhao nervously asked while hugging the drenched Nan Mengjie by the fish pond.

"Let go of me, this is a trap set up by Ye Yudie to test our relationship," Nan Mengjie said softly to Gong Yanhao.

Gong Yanhao didn't let her go because of Nan Mengjie's words. One reason was that Gong Yanhao didn't want to let her go, and the other reason was that if he let go of Nan Mengjie at this time, it would be a bit of a cover-up.
