Chapter 5 Who are you talking about
The two of them are occupying a place, and neither of them will disturb His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the high platform.
But today!
What did they just hear?
His Highness actually allowed Meng Renping to go to this high platform, and it was His Highness who took the initiative to do so!
Ji Kuan was surprised, Meng Renping was surprised.
Both of them felt that something must have happened to their Highness on the high platform just now.
But what could it be?
They kept watch below, not hearing any noise or seeing any living creature without eyes.
When Meng Renping stood in the high platform pavilion, he looked in the direction pointed by Li Shou and saw a pair of masters and servants walking one behind the other.
The master in the front is thin and haggard, and his steps are sloppy. Although his facial features are bright, he has an aura of illness. The maid in the back is struggling to carry a large wooden bucket. Judging from the fish tail on the outside of the bucket, the bucket There is a fish in it.
"Who is she?" Li Shou asked.
Of course Meng Renping would not think that the prince was asking the maid. Although he looked at the face of the master, he briefly thought that there were only two young ladies in his house, both in the second room, and he was the second one. Uncle's daughter.
The second sister is pretty and cute. He often sees her. This is not the second sister.
That is...
"She should be my eldest sister." Meng Renping answered with some hesitation.
Li Shou glanced at Meng Renping, who didn't even recognize his sister.
Meng Renping was glanced at and felt a little embarrassed: "My eldest sister has often been sick since she was a child. She rarely steps out of the house and has been raised in Taichen Hospital. When we were young, some of our brothers and sisters were still alive. We often played together, and as we grew older, the four of us brothers gradually moved to the front yard, and the two younger sisters in the backyard became a bit sparse. See you. The second sister is better. Sometimes she follows the fourth brother to the front yard to find us, while the eldest sister..."
He paused and counted the days in his mind. After doing this, even he He was shocked: "...I haven't seen her for a long time."
Listening to this, Li Shou already thought of who she was in the dream.
The eldest daughter of the second wife of the Meng family, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, the daughter of his second uncle's original wife, Meng Liangchen, his eldest cousin.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. My eldest sister just caught a cold a few days ago. I thought it would be better today and the weather was nice, so I took the maid out for a walk, but I never wanted to go here. The arrival of Qiushui Lake disturbed His Highness's peace." Meng Renping thought that the appearance of his eldest sister had offended Li Shou, so he immediately begged for Meng Liangchen's mercy.
No matter how much brother-sister affection he has for Meng Liangchen, they all have the same surname, and he has always had great sympathy for this eldest sister who lost her biological mother when she was young.
"Nothing." Li Shou waved his hand, signaling Meng Renping to step back.
Meng Renping breathed a sigh of relief, but was about to be kicked off Xuanyuan Terrace again without any surprise.
He climbed down the steps step by step and returned to the high platform. When he passed by Ji Kuan, he was grabbed by Ji Kuan.
"What did His Highness say to you?" Ji Kuan asked curiously.
Meng Renping shook his head: "It's nothing. I just saw my eldest sister at Qiushui Lake, so I asked me."
Ji Kuan thought about what Meng Renping said. Who is the eldest sister? However, I have never seen it before and can’t think of anything. Then I thought that Meng Renping took the initiative to come to the high platform just now. He came down and asked again: "What happened before you went up just now?"
"I..." Meng Renping just said that he had nothing to do, but he didn't say two words, and then he thought He picked up the food box specially brought by his second sister and placed it in the open pavilion. "It's really something. I forgot about it as soon as I got up!"
"What's going on?" Ji Kuan asked.
Meng Renping did not respond. He only turned his eyes to the open space and raised his chin, indicating to Ji Kuan to look for himself.
Ji Kuan turned around and looked into the open pavilion. He was a military general with very good eyesight and ears. When he took a look, he saw a vermilion food box placed on the stone table in the middle of the open pavilion.
Well, he doesn’t want to talk anymore. If you forget it, forget it. Even if you report it to the person on the high platform, His Highness will carry it back as usual, just as you ordered them to bring it.
"Alas."
"Alas."
In the silence, Meng Renping and Ji Kuan thought of going together and couldn't help but sigh in unison.
They all have younger sisters in their house, and they all have their eyes set on the noble and handsome Dong Gong.
Unfortunately, His Highness did not take a fancy to any of them.
No, it’s not just their sister, there are ladies from various high-ranking families in the capital, and His Highness has never looked at any of them.
His Royal Highness is already nineteen years old. When he is crowned next year, he will be crown princess.
Based on His Highness’s impeccable attitude, they all felt that it was still a matter of time before the East Palace had a mistress next year.
Meng Meili, Wu's biological daughter, sent cakes to Li Shou as always. She couldn't wait for a long time in Changxuan. After delivering the food box to her eldest brother, she retreated to the southeast corner of the garden gate to wait. .
Unexpectedly, she did not wait to hear whether her eldest brother had delivered the food box to the prince. Instead, she waited until Meng Liangchen, his master and his servant, walked towards her one after another.
"Bad luck!" Meng Meijing let out a low sigh.
Her eldest maid Ji Xiang also cooed, her eyes looking like a good show. Every time the second young lady meets the eldest young lady, the eldest young lady always has to be repaired by the second young lady.
Baozhu followed behind with the wooden bucket. Because the big golden carp was really heavy, she was out of breath while carrying it all the way. There were slight beads of sweat on her forehead, but in her heart she was happy. Awesome.
This fish is big enough to cook fish porridge, fry fish fillets, and stew fish head soup!
Not only can the young lady have a nutritious and fresh meal, but she and Jin Yin can finally have a full meal.
The lady asked them what they ate on weekdays, but they didn't dare to tell.
If they say that what they eat on weekdays are leftovers from the big kitchen, and sometimes they smell sour, it will definitely make the lady even more sad, and she will lose her golden beans for a long time. .
…Maybe not anymore.
After all, the young lady is very different now.
Baozhu was so focused and thinking about things that Meng Shisan in front suddenly stopped. She walked forward and took two or three steps before she realized there was someone in front of her.
"Second, second lady?"
Second lady?
Meng Shisan asked who it was, but it turned out that they were enemies on a narrow road.
She had heard from Bao Zhu that before the original owner got cold, Bao Zhu also accompanied the original owner for a walk to Qiushui Lake early in the morning. Little did she know that when she met Meng Meili, Meng Meili made rude remarks and repeatedly insulted the original owner. One of them didn't pay attention, pushed the original owner into the water, and left laughing.
The original owner returned to Taichen Courtyard and lay on the bed.
Lying until the afternoon, the original owner felt chilly all over and was still shivering even though he was covered with three thick quilts. It was not until night that he developed a high fever and fell completely ill.
“Who do you think is unlucky?” Meng Shisan took a few steps forward and stood in front of Meng Meili.
Meng Jingmei’s nostrils were full of vitality, and she spoke arrogantly with words that struck a chord in people’s hearts: “Who’s mother died early, got sick again and again in ten years, wasted money and rice, and yet still survived? , whoever lives in an eyesore will be in bad luck!"
