Concubine falling from heaven

Chapter 11
As soon as they entered the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, they saw Caiyun shivering and kneeling inside the gate, cold sweat dripping from her forehead through her delicate cheeks and from her chin.

Meng Zihan stepped forward with a blank face and asked, "Caiyun, why are you kneeling here? Get up quickly."

After hearing this, Caiyun looked at Mu Xuanchen with horror on his face, then immediately lowered his head.Meng Zihan didn't understand, what's there to be afraid of, let alone she didn't climb over the wall to sneak away, so why should Caiyun be afraid of this.

Standing aside, Steward Zhang didn't say a word for Caiyun, but greeted Mu Xuanchen and the others respectfully.

Mu Xuanchen didn't even look at Caiyun, and went to the study with Mu Xuanyi and others.

Meng Zihan looked back at the pitiful Caiyun, and ran to Mu Xuanchen's side in one stride: "Mu Xuanchen! Mu Xuanchen!"

Both hands unconsciously grabbed Mu Xuanchen's arm, and Mu Xuanchen and everyone present were stunned.After being stared at abruptly by Mu Xuanchen, Meng Zihan immediately changed his tone, and said with a coquettish smile, "His Royal Highness Chen Wang, who is tall, mighty, handsome, and unparalleled in martial arts, Caiyun is still kneeling there! Look! !"

Emperor Xuanyi almost burst out laughing when he heard this, Eunuch Liang and the butler looked at Meng Zihan with wide eyes in disbelief, wondering if the little girl in front of him had eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, but Butler Zhang had seen similar The situation, so it is slightly inferior to Eunuch Liang's expression.

Mu Xuanchen finally calmed down his originally tense nerves, and replied flatly: "So what if I see it."

Meng Zihan thought there was hope, so she said coquettishly, "You can make her wake up after seeing it!"

"She made a mistake, and punishment to kneel is light." Mu Xuanchen looked sideways at Qianqianyu's hand on his arm and added, "And...Ms. Meng should respect herself!"

Meng Zihan looked down and immediately withdrew his hand, asking: "Wrong! What did she do wrong?"

"Steward Zhang." Mu Xuanchen didn't say much, but just gestured to Steward Zhang.Steward Zhang understood immediately, and told Meng Zihan one of the rules: servants of the mansion are not allowed to leave the mansion without permission.

"Then I'm the one who left the mansion, what's the matter with Guan Caiyun." Meng Zihan looked dissatisfied.

"Ms. Meng is a guest in the mansion. Naturally, if Ms. Meng makes a mistake, her servants should be punished for Ms. Meng." Mu Xuanchen sneered, the cold light in his eyes made Mengzi shudder.

"I do things by myself, and I don't need others to be punished for me."

"Then how are you going to do things by yourself? Didn't Miss Meng say that I would rather kill you if I want you to kneel?" Mu Xuanchen actually grabbed Meng Zihan's braid.

Meng Zihan gritted his teeth in resentment, and cursed secretly: You Mu Xuanchen, you actually did this with me.Is this punishment in disguise?
"Oh? Miss Meng still has such principles?" Mu Xuanyi was a little surprised.Seeing Meng Zihan smiled at him awkwardly, he didn't ask any more questions, and responded with a smile.

Seeing this, An Lingfei smiled and begged for Meng Zihan: "My lord, Miss Meng is also playful, let's forget it this time!"

"Yes, my lord, let's forget it this time!" Ye Feng hurriedly came over to intercede.This situation was unexpected by Mu Xuanyi, Eunuch Liang and others.

"Then there are no rules in this house?"

Hearing what Mu Xuanchen said so decisively, Meng Zihan cast his eyes on Mu Xuanyi who was the only one who could help, but Mu Xuanyi made a helpless expression.Eunuch Liang even put on a posture of standing by and watching a good show.

"Cold-blooded animal!" Although Meng Zihan murmured softly, Mu Xuanchen, who had sharp ears, still heard him.

"Do you want to add another [-] boards to her?" This sentence seemed to be joking, but there was no joking expression on his face.Mu Xuanyi, An Lingfei and the others knew that this time Mu Xuanchen had been kind for the first time, and he had never seen such a good temper before.

Seeing that Meng Zihan immediately covered his mouth and didn't say anything, Mu Xuanchen smiled lightly and went straight to the study with Mu Xuanyi and the others.

When it was time for lunch, Mu Xuanyi and the others had already sat down one by one, and even Ye Huwei was flattered to sit at the same table with the emperor.

Although the dining table is not as good as the Manchurian banquet, every dish is so exquisite that people have to salivate when they see it, but those who are used to delicacies from mountains and seas are not so interested in the dishes in front of them.

Mu Xuanyi looked at the door and asked, "Second brother, why don't you see Miss Meng come to eat? Didn't you pass her a message?"

Mu Xuanchen replied for a while: "I'm afraid it might come if it is passed on."

"Oh?" Mu Xuanyi looked at Mu Xuanchen unexpectedly, he didn't expect that there were people in this world that he, Mu Xuanchen, couldn't control.

Mu Xuanchen looked extremely uncomfortable after Mu Xuanyi's meaningful "oh", and immediately changed the subject: "Brother Huang rarely comes to the house of my younger brother, and my younger brother is so honored, let's move the chopsticks first! This is The servant ordered someone to carefully prepare it for the emperor."

Just when several people raised their glasses to toast, Xiao Hai saw a maid standing at the door, and immediately walked over. Seeing this, Mu Xuanchen stopped what he was doing and looked towards the door.

"Xiao Hai, what's the matter?" Mu Xuanchen asked.

Hearing Mu Xuanchen's question, Xiao Hai immediately went to his side and replied, "Ms. Meng asked someone to ask me and said..."

"What?" Mu Xuanchen had an ominous premonition

"Say..." Xiao Hai hesitated and didn't say anything.

"Ms. Meng said when she can eat." Xiao Hai's eyes flickered.

"Did Miss Meng really say this? Tell the truth!" Seeing Xiao Hai's troubled expression, Mu Xuanyi asked with a smile of interest.

There is no way, the emperor opened his mouth, it is impossible not to tell the truth.

"Ms. Meng asked someone to ask His Royal Highness Chen Wang if she wanted to starve her to death. Miss Meng also said..." Xiao Hai glanced to the side, not daring to look directly at Mu Xuanchen, and continued, "Also said... She doesn't want to die young before she has lived her life!"

"Hahaha..." On this end, Xiao Hai had just finished delivering the words, but on the other end, Mu Xuanyi couldn't stop laughing.

An Lingfei and Ye Feng broke into cold sweats when they heard Xiaohai's words, Zhang Steward and Liang Eunuch were even more dumbfounded, and the servant girl next to him almost laughed out loud. Seeing Mu Xuanchen's cold face, they immediately held their laughter knowingly.

"Brother Huang is laughing at you!" Mu Xuanchen really wondered if this Meng Zihan was sent by heaven to punish him, and why she hadn't been peaceful since she woke up.He waved his hand to make the servant girls and servants retreat, leaving only Xiao Hai, Steward Zhang and Eunuch Liang present.

"Interesting! It's so interesting! Second brother, where did you get such a living treasure? I really envy the dead brother." Mu Xuanyi was in a good mood today, and turned to Xiao Hai and said, "Xiao Hai, go and invite Miss Meng to have a meal .”

Seeing that Mu Xuanchen also nodded, Xiao Hai immediately went to the door and whispered something to the maid.After a while, Meng Zihan came slowly.

When Mu Xuanyi saw Meng Zihan, he immediately gave him a seat with a smile on his face, but the seat next to Mu Xuanchen happened to be given to him. Meng Zihan was stunned for a moment, feeling that Emperor Xuanyi wanted to play tricks on her, but in order to fill his stomach, Meng Zihan sat down after thanking her.After sitting down, he still pouted at Mu Xuanyi. An Lingfei and Mu Xuanyi saw this cuteness, and they had different feelings.

Meng Zihan swallowed while looking at the dishes on the table, looked at Mu Xuanyi and asked, "Your Majesty! Can I eat?"

"Stop being rude!" Mu Xuanchen shouted.

"Then I'm hungry!" Just after finishing speaking, Meng Zihan's stomach began to growl, "Listen! My stomach is fighting!"

Everyone present except Mu Xuanchen was already laughing, and Meng Zihan was a little embarrassed by their laughter.

"Okay! Let's move our chopsticks, or we'll hear that protest all the time, hahaha..." Mu Xuanyi still couldn't help laughing.

Knowing that he was talking about her, Meng Zihan didn't care, and filled his stomach first.

After eating a few mouthfuls, I found that Mu Xuanchen and the others respected me and I respected you. This is not a meal, it's just a table full of delicacies.In addition to toasting, I did not forget to talk a few words about business affairs.

Meng Zihan glanced at them and then rolled his eyes, thinking: That's fine, at least no one noticed how voraciously she ate.I have seen ancient women eat in TV dramas, especially those daughters of high-ranking officials, they all eat like chickens pecking at rice. I really don’t know how Concubine Yang got fat.

When he picked up a piece of abalone and was about to put it in his mouth, Mu Xuanchen suddenly said, "Ms. Meng!"

"Pa-ta!" The piece of abalone fell from Meng Zihan's mouth to the table and slid to the ground abruptly.

"My abalone..." Meng Zihan clenched his fists and looked regretfully at the piece of abalone that escaped from his mouth, swished, his eyes fixed on Mu Xuanchen, "Why did you call me all of a sudden? "

Realizing that everyone at the table was staring at her, Meng Zihan changed his respectful expression again, and asked slowly: "His Royal Highness, don't call me Miss Meng, please call me by my name. What is your highness calling me all of a sudden?" Meng Zihan tried hard to force a smile.

Mu Xuanchen coughed dryly twice and then said softly: "Then... son...don't bother to eat, you should toast the emperor with a cup." Changing his words all of a sudden, he was not used to it. At this time, Mu Xuanchen suspected that this was Mengzi Han intends to tease him.

Unexpectedly, Meng Zihan picked up the wine glass and got up, and obediently toasted to Mu Xuanyi: "Your Majesty, Meng Zihan didn't know how to be polite when he first came here, and I still hope that the emperor will help you! Zihan does it first to respect." Eat it now.

"Good! I didn't expect Miss Meng to be so forthright!" Mu Xuanyi clapped his hands and applauded, and also responded to Meng Zihan. After drinking, he said, "Please sit down, there is no need to be formal!"

An Lingfei and Ye Feng were also a little surprised.Unexpectedly, Meng Zihan, who looks soft, is as bold as a man.But Meng Zihan knew that this glass of wine was already her limit, and if she drank two more, there would be a big mess, so after putting down the glass, she didn't ask Xiao Hai to pour more wine, and ate the delicious food desperately.

"But your majesty!" Not long after, Meng Zihan asked Mu Xuanyi tentatively, "Can I make a small suggestion?"

"But it doesn't matter!"

"My opinion is... can everyone really look like they are eating?" As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xuanchen glanced over him coldly, and Meng Zihan turned his head away as if he didn't see it.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Mu Xuanyi still smiled gently.

Meng Zihan said with a smile: "We should taste these delicious dishes when we are eating, don't waste the fruits of the cook's labor! You were toasting and talking about things just now, but you didn't touch the dishes on this table at all. I'm so bored eating alone."

"My lord, I saw that you were eating very vigorously just now!" Mu Xuanchen showed a seemingly invisible smile on his face, and he really wouldn't notice it unless he looked carefully.

Meng Zihan couldn't figure it out, how could he notice her even though he was chatting enthusiastically with everyone just now?

"I... I was trying to help everyone!" Meng Zihan argued.

"Which dish does Zihan think is the best? I'll try it too!" An Lingfei smiled.

"Then...this!" Meng Zihan pointed to a plate of gold and silver fish and said, "This gold and silver fish is not bad, you should eat more, it will be good for your health!" As he spoke, he helped An Lingfei hold a chopstick to him bowl.

An Lingfei tasted it and said, "En! I didn't expect this dish to be really delicious after Jing Zihan said so, but why didn't I notice it before?"

Ye Feng laughed and said, "That's because there was no Meng girl to serve you food before! Hahaha..."

An Lingfei's face was flushed by what was said, and he looked at Meng Zihan in embarrassment, then lowered his head, picked up some vegetables indiscriminately, and stuffed them into his mouth.Meng Zihan knew what Ye Feng meant, and immediately helped Ye Feng pick up a chopstick dish, lest he talk nonsense.

Of course, the emperor was served by Eunuch Liang, so Meng Zihan took a look at Mu Xuanchen and put a piece of radish carved into petals into his bowl.

"This is for Your Highness, Prince Chen!"

Mu Xuanyi asked curiously: "Why did you give Chen Wang a carrot?"

Meng Zihan replied: "This radish is carved into petals, and I gave it to His Royal Highness Chen Wang to make him smile often and bloom like a flower. Moreover, the radish can breathe, His Royal Highness Chen has a sullen face all day long, hoping that he will eat it." I can calm down."

Mu Xuanyi laughed out loud again, and An Lingfei and Ye Feng couldn't help laughing too.At this time, Mu Xuanchen's thick eyebrows almost twisted into twists, and he turned his head to stare at Meng Zihan, but Meng Zihan immediately turned his head away and continued to eat, pretending he didn't see it.

After looking at Mu Xuanyi, Mu Xuanchen coughed twice in embarrassment, picked up the wine glass and drank.Mu Xuanyi had never seen that Mu Xuanchen would make trouble with someone, but this time he finally saw it.

Everyone talked and laughed during the meal, and Meng Zihan occasionally teased An Lingfei verbally, but An Lingfei was not only not angry, but was overjoyed.

At this time, Ye Feng was about to pick up a chicken leg, but Meng Zihan ordered: "Put it down!"

Ye Feng looked at Meng Zihan suspiciously and said, "What's wrong?"

"I'm going to pack this up and take it away later!" Meng Zihan bit his chopsticks and looked at Ye Feng innocently.

Eunuch Liang shouted: "Bold! Miss Meng, the emperor hasn't finished his meal yet, you are going to pack it up and take it away?"

Meng Zihan was so frightened by Eunuch Liang's sudden drink that he didn't respond for a while, and looked at Eunuch Liang and then at Mu Xuanyi with his big watery eyes.Mu Xuanyi immediately waved his hand lightly, telling Eunuch Liang not to stop him, but turned his head and smiled and said:

"Ms. Meng, is she afraid that Prince Chen won't feed you at night? Hehe!"

Although he knew that he was joking, Meng Zihan was still a little embarrassed. What she said to the maid before the meal was angry, who knew that she actually told them the same thing, making herself feel like she was starving to death She looks like a ghost reincarnated, she is really an unreliable maid.Looking at Mu Xuanchen who was now full of embarrassment and anger, Meng Zihan immediately put on a smile.

"Of course not. What I told the maid to pass was a joke. Don't take it seriously, Your Majesty! I am already very grateful to His Royal Highness Chen Wang for living here for free."

"It's good to know!" After hearing this, Mu Xuanchen's mood eased.

"I know... I, Meng Zihan, will definitely form a grass ring in the next life and be a cow or a horse to repay His Highness Chen Wang's kindness!" His words were full of disdain.

Mu Xuanchen twitched his eyebrows lightly and said, "Why the afterlife? This life is fine too!"

Meng Zihan immediately alerted: "Good job, Mu Xuanchen, do you want me to be a cow and a horse for the rest of my life to repay you?"Think beautifully.

But with a perfunctory smile on his face, he said: "In this life? I'm afraid I have more energy than I want. His Royal Highness Chen Wang looked at me. If you do rough work, you can't lift your hands on your shoulders. If you do fine work, I don't know how to work as a female worker, so I just Can you let me eat and live for free for a while before I can support myself, my respected His Royal Highness Chen Wang, with your heart, you shouldn't mind, right?"

Mu Xuanchen sneered and said, "Oh... so you don't know anything, so you're so useless!" After speaking, he nodded and sneered.

Meng Zihan really regretted that he said so many good things just now, he curled his lips and stared at Mu Xuanchen fiercely.Seeing his nonchalant appearance, Mengzi couldn't help feeling cold.After finding Xiao Hai and whispering something in his ear, Xiao Hai left without Mu Xuanchen's consent.

But in Mu Xuanyi's eyes, the two of them seemed like happy enemies.But what surprised him even more was that his second younger brother would never speak to anyone with such an attitude or tone, let alone a girl. He thought he didn't like women because of his war.Thinking back when the prime minister wanted to betroth his daughter to him, he flatly refused.

Ye Feng saw it and hurried to dissuade him, but the daring Meng Zihan didn't appreciate it.

An Lingfei immediately said: "If His Royal Highness Chen Wang finds it inconvenient for Zihan to stay in your residence, then you might as well let Zihan live in the last general's residence."

"Ling Fei, you are the best! Come and eat more food." Meng Zihan's flattery clinked.

Mu Xuanyi could tell that Mu Xuanchen's face changed suddenly after hearing An Lingfei's words and seeing Meng Zihan's performance.

Mu Xuanyi smiled and came forward to make peace with the old man: "Commander An, I'm afraid that doing so will damage the reputation of our Highness Chen Wang! If it is spread out, it will be thought that our Highness Chen Wang can't even tolerate a girl's family, knowing that Miss Meng can't help herself." To make a living has to be pushed outside, wouldn't it be a lifetime of fame and loss!"

Both Ye Feng and Eunuch Liang agreed with Mu Xuanyi's statement, only An Lingfei sighed helplessly.

"But..." Mu Xuanyi suddenly hesitated.

Ye Feng, Mu Xuanchen, and Meng Zihan looked at Mu Xuanyi suspiciously, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"But what?" An Lingfei asked.

Mu Xuanyi looked at Mu Xuanchen and said, "It's really inappropriate for Miss Meng to live in the Prince Chen's mansion like this."

"Brother Huang, what do you think is wrong?" Mu Xuanchen put down his glass and asked calmly.

"Whether it's right or not depends on what capacity Miss Meng lives in this Prince Chen's mansion." Mu Xuanyi said and glanced at Mu Xuanchen to see his reaction.

"Why don't the emperor recognize me as a god-sister?" Meng Zihan asked with a smile.

"You're pretty good at calculating." Mu Xuanchen said disdainfully.

Mu Xuanyi immediately answered: "Look and see! Our Royal Highness Chen doesn't agree, so I, the emperor brother, can't go against his wishes!" In fact, this result was also what he expected, but it was hard If he catches an opportunity to tease this younger brother who looks like an older brother, how can he let it go so easily.

"Mu...Xuan...Chen! You ruined my light!" Meng Zihan hated Mu Xuanchen even more after hearing Mu Xuanyi's words.If he hadn't said anything just now, she would be a princess!
Ye Feng and An Lingfei were no strangers to Meng Zihan's taboo of calling the prince by his name.

Mu Xuanchen was not as furious as Mu Xuanyi thought, but turned to Meng Zihan and said, "Why don't you sell yourself to my Prince Chen's mansion, so that Miss Meng can eat, drink and live for free, and you can also get money for nothing?" Monthly salary."

Meng Zihan looked at Mu Xuanchen speechlessly, then turned to An Lingfei to ask for help: "Lingfei...you have to help me prepare the room when you go back!"

In order to prevent Mu Xuanchen from erupting, Mu Xuanyi immediately said: "Second brother, wouldn't it be wronged to let Miss Meng be a maid, in fact, I have a good idea for my brother."

Mu Xuanchen didn't pay much attention, picked up the glass and continued to drink.

When Meng Zihan heard this, he felt that the situation was not good, but before she could stop her, Mu Xuanyi had already expressed her ominous feeling: "Marry her!"

"Pfft!" Mu Xuanchen spit out the wine without leaving a single drop, and looked at Mu Xuanyi in astonishment.An Lingfei also slipped his chopsticks from his hands in a panic, and Ye Feng picked them up for him immediately upon seeing this.

On the other hand, Meng Zihan looked at Mu Xuanchen with disgust, and then looked at Mu Xuanyi with disbelief, not knowing why he said that.

"Second brother is now twenty-seven, but he has not yet married a wife or concubine. I think that the second brother and Miss Meng are in love, so it would be a good thing to choose a date."

"Who will fall in love with him." Mu Xuanchen and Meng Zihan looked at each other and said in unison.

Seeing this, Mu Xuanyi laughed again. Seeing that Mu Xuanyi was in a good mood today, Eunuch Liang looked at Meng Zihan differently.But Meng Zihan and Mu Xuanchen were immediately extremely embarrassed, and at the same time they picked up the vegetables and stuffed them into their mouths.

Meng Zihan saw that his and Mu Xuanchen's movements were surprisingly consistent, so he put down the chopsticks in his hand to change the subject.

"Ah... Your Majesty! I don't know how long Caiyun will kneel? She has been kneeling for a long time, can she get up now?" Meng Zihan asked.

After looking at Mu Xuanchen, Mu Xuanyi said to Meng Zihan: "This matter... depends on our Royal Highness Chen Wang, hehehe!"

The corner of Meng Zihan's mouth twitched, and then he asked with a smile: "His Royal Highness Chen Wang, Caiyun..." Suddenly receiving the provocative look from Mu Xuanchen, Meng Zihan suddenly didn't know what to say.

"It's okay if she doesn't kneel."

"Really?" Meng Zihan was quite surprised.

"Then punish her not to eat today!" Mu Xuanchen added.

"I knew you weren't that magnanimous." Meng Zihan muttered.

Steward Zhang immediately kindly reminded Meng Zihan: "Miss Meng, the prince has already been very merciful. If it follows the government regulations, Caiyun should be punished with a cane or arranged to do rough work, or kicked out of the house."

"Then His Royal Highness Xie Chen is very merciful." Meng Zihan said reluctantly, but he already had an idea in his heart.

At this time, Xiao Hai came over with Zhang Heye, and after Meng Zihan took it, he put in the chicken leg that he took from An Lingfei just now.An Lingfei looked at Meng Zihan's happily wrapped chicken legs, and smiled wryly, "You really want to take it away, I thought you were just joking!"

"Is it strange?" After finishing speaking, he bid farewell to everyone and left the table.

Looking at the back of Meng Zihan leaving, Mu Xuanchen just smiled faintly.

When he came to the gate of the mansion, seeing Caiyun still kneeling there, Meng Zihan shook his head helplessly and ran over.

"Caiyun, why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly." He said while pulling Caiyun's arm.

"But my lord..."

"He has already agreed, don't worry." Seeing Caiyun's original gloom disappear immediately, Meng Zihan added, "It's just...he punished you not to eat today."

Although Meng Zihan said sorry, Caiyun's face was full of joy.Kneeling for a long time and suddenly got up, Caiyun staggered and almost fell again, but fortunately Meng Zihan helped her in time.

"Thank you, Miss Meng."

Meng Zihan was helpless: "It was I who made you kneel, why are you still thanking me?"

"The servant girl deserves to be punished for Miss Meng, and if the servant girl was not afraid and did not go out first, then Miss Meng would not be blamed."

Hearing Caiyun's words, Meng Zihan was in a cold sweat. What kind of thoughts were instilled in this servant girl in the mansion?The fault of the master is their fault, and their fault is still their fault.And you can't complain, you can't feel wronged, and you have to laugh when you are fined.Fortunately, this trip was not treated as a servant girl, otherwise the word "miserable" can actually be described.

"Then why don't you know how to be lazy? Anyway, they are not here, so don't kneel!"

"Actually, this time the master has given a very light punishment, and the slaves dare not complain!" Meng Zihan, who was limping while walking, was still speaking nicely for Mu Xuanchen. Caiyun went to her "temporary" room.

After finally walking to the room and sitting down, Caiyun frowned and touched her knee.
