After being reminded by the little eunuch beside him, King Wei learned that Meng Shu and Princess Jiahe had returned to the palace. He smiled slightly and greeted them.
"Sister Jiahe came back so early!"
"Third brother was earlier than me. Won't third brother go hunting?" Princess Jiahe asked with a smile.
"I, your majesty, will no longer compete with those princes' children. Otherwise, with your third brother's ability, you will definitely come out on top." King Wei said with a smile.
Princess Jiahe was speechless when she heard this.
As far as King Wei's ability is concerned, he is at most equal to her.
However, this man was used to making a fool of himself and pretending to be fat, so Princess Jiahe was not surprised.
"Is sister Jiahe coming back so early because she is feeling unwell?" King Wei asked.
"That's not the case, I'm just a little tired!" Princess Jiahe said, holding Meng Shu's hand: "It's getting late, let's go back to the dormitory first, third brother, please help yourself!"
Although King Wei was talking to her, his eyes were looking towards Meng Shu. Princess Jiahe felt upset when she saw it, and wished she could take Meng Shu away as soon as possible.
It’s such a shame to be looked at by such a pervert!
"How many prey did Sister Jiahe and Miss Meng catch today?" King Wei did not give way. He stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"Third brother, I won't bother you with this. As a prince, third brother can't go to the palace without the emperor's permission." Princess Jiahe reminded "kindly".
"Don't worry, sister Jiahe, I'm naturally here to pay my respects to the emperor." King Wei smiled and left with the others.
"Sister Meng, that palace maid has gone to the left, let's chase her!" Princess Jiahe waited until King Wei had gone far before pulling Meng Shu to chase the palace maid.
The two of them walked around the palace, but found no trace of the palace maid.
There are many palaces and houses, and I don't know where the palace maid is hiding.
"I'll go find the prince later and ask him to send someone to call all the maids serving in the palace together. I don't believe I can't find her." Princess Jiahe said angrily.
King Wei's character is too bad. He must have bad intentions when talking to a palace maid in private. She won't worry if she doesn't find him out.
Princess Jiahe was afraid that King Wei would plot against her royal brother.
"In this way, it will scare the snake away." Meng Shu said.
After hearing her words, Princess Jiahe endured it again and again. After a moment, she said: "Brother Huang lives in this palace, you and me. The person he wants to scheme against must be one of the three of us. I will let it go. After all, I haven't offended him directly. As for the emperor brother and you... maybe one of them is his target. I will send someone to the emperor brother later to remind him, sleep with me tonight. Let's sleep on the same bed. That's it. Once you get there, you’ll be safe!”
Even if King Wei really had any plans, he wouldn't boldly come to her bedroom to snatch Meng Shu, right? "
"Okay!" Meng Shu nodded.
She always woke up when she went out, and with Su Ye and the others around her, she wouldn't be touched on the bed. Meng Shu was sure of this.
As for the emperor?
My body has recovered. If I can't even deal with this, how can I regain my power?
When it was time for dinner, Princess Jiahe and Meng Shu sat on chairs waiting for someone to deliver food, but instead they waited for Wang Fusheng, the eunuch beside the emperor.
"Princess, Miss Meng, we got a lot of fresh prey today. The emperor sent someone to prepare a table of extremely sumptuous delicacies, and invited the princess and Miss Meng to have a meal in the emperor's palace."
Meng Shu and Princess Jiahe looked at each other after hearing this.
No wonder their meals haven't been delivered yet. It turns out the emperor had other plans.
Princess Jiahe's eyes were full of doubts.
The emperor just wanted to invite his sister over for dinner, but why did he invite Meng Shu?
Want to reward this lifesaver?
After Wang Fusheng left, Princess Jiahe said to Meng Shu: "The royal chef next to the emperor is very good at cooking and the delicious food is rare. Let's go together."
The emperor had sent people to deliver oral instructions, and of course Meng Shu could not refuse.
The two went to the emperor's palace together.
In addition to a large table of delicious meals, there was also a jug of fine wine on the table, which was the palace's fine wine.
Of course, both of them were women, and the emperor was "sickly" and could not drink strong alcohol, so there was a pot of fruit wine on the table.
But for some reason, Princess Jiahe became drunk after eating and drinking for a while.
Meng Shu saw that her eyes could hardly open and she would have fallen on the table if not for the support of the palace maid. She quickly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the princess is drunk. I will send her back to the palace."
"Zhilan, Zhifang, send the princess back to rest." The emperor said calmly.
"Yes." The two maids responded, and while helping their master up, they glanced at each other subconsciously.
What should Miss Meng do?
The emperor did not ask Miss Meng to go back with him.
However, this was not something that the palace maids could interfere with. The two of them helped Princess Jiahe out and called a strong and rough nun to carry Princess Jiahe back.
"Your Majesty has left his daughter behind, what are your orders?" Meng Shu was very calm.
"This is not the place to talk. You come with me." After the emperor finished speaking, he turned and went to the courtyard outside.
Today's dinner took a long time. It was almost dark, and there were already a few stars in the night.
The weather in Beijing is cool in September, but it is still a bit cold at night.
The emperor handed over a cloak, but Meng Shu did not accept it.
Firstly, she is not so fragile and does not need a cloak.
Secondly, the emperor's behavior was really strange.
"Tell me about Guiyun City." The emperor took Meng Shu to sit in the pavilion in the courtyard and said with a smile.
He also saw the vigilance in Meng Shu's eyes and did not dare to offend her. He did not mention a single word of what he wanted to say before, but instead asked about Guiyun City.
That was the place where Meng Shu grew up and the place she was most familiar with. Talking about this should make her relax her vigilance a little and stop being so resistant to him.
Meng Shu misunderstood, thinking that the emperor was afraid of the Meng family, so he talked about the Northwest Army's defense in Guiyun City in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The emperor knew as soon as he heard that she had misunderstood him.
What he wanted to hear were some interesting things that happened to Meng Shu when she was a child, and to get to know her better, but... the girl misunderstood that he was not trusting the Meng family.
This is really...
"I have no dissatisfaction with the British Duke and the Meng family. On the contrary, I rely on them very much. I just want to understand the customs and customs of Guiyun City." The emperor had to explain.
Meng Shu was slightly startled when he heard the words, and then said after a moment: "Guiyun City is located in the northwest. It is very cold in winter. Sometimes the wind and snow are very strong, and many people will even freeze to death. The climate in this place is actually a bit harsh. People who live there all year round When people get old, they will suffer from the problem of Lao Han's legs, even my father is inevitable..."
Meng Shu lowered his guard and talked to the emperor about Guiyun City. The emperor would say a word from time to time. By the time Meng Shu came to his senses, it was already late at night.
