Chapter 78
Chapter 78
After He Yunxiao skipped class to go to Fan Ziruo for some private tuition, Meng Yan, who is also a playboy, also had the intention of skipping school.
Meng Yan is the son of King, who is also the brother of the previous emperor, so the current empress dowager is considered Meng Yans aunt. Although this is the case, he still has to call Empress Dowager instead of Auntie according to etiquette. However, this did not prevent Meng Yan from skipping class in the name of visiting the Empress Dowager.
As the Empress Dowagers nephew, Li Jin was, by definition, a step-down from Meng Yan, but as they were of similar ages and were both fops, they didnt care about this.
So, with Meng Yans fooling around, they skipped class and went to the palace together.
For Meng Yan, it didnt matter who or where they went to see, as long as they could skip class.
The two of them went to the Empress Dowagers place, and after that they left because they were too bored and planned to go back to Meng Qingqians place. Since its too early to go home.
Of course, it was Li Jins idea to go to Meng Qingqians place.
He was already here. Then I might as well go to my cousins place to show off my recent study results, If I dont show off, then isnt it a waste of time?
As soon as Meng Yan heard Li Jin of his cousin aunt, he hurriedly said, Li Jin, I dont want to go to the Princesss place.
There is one to say. Instead of going to Meng Qingqians place, might as well go back to class. Thats how horrible it is.
If Li Jin did not have the intention to show off, he himself was afraid of going there. Now, he couldnt force Meng Yan, so he said, Ill go by myself.
Meng Yan was pardoned, Ill go wait for Brother Li in the back garden!
Li Jin: Screw you.
After separating from Meng Yan, Li Jin carried the book in which he had written down his poems, and went alone to the room of the Eldest Princess, Changhe Palace, alone.
On the other side of the palace, it was very different from Linxuan Palace.
In the distance, there were imperial guards in armor, and in the near distance, there were female servants with swords and knives. And there were many palace maids. But it was very quiet. Everyone walked quickly with their heads down. No one dared to make any noise. No one dared to laugh.
Li Jin walked all the way into Changhe Palace, then stopped at the entrance to his cousins bedchamber and said, Please inform of me.
The palace maid bowed her head in response, then quickly stepped inside, before quickly stepping out again.
Young Master, please follow me.
Li Jin then followed behind the palace maid and entered Changhe Palace, the bedchamber of his cousin Meng Changhe Palace.
After the palace maid introduced Li Jin, she took him two steps and then withdrew on her own.
Li Jin had often come and was indeed well acquainted.
In this palace, as always, there were only the two of them, the cousin, and the Jian Ling girl.
Cousin! I have
Meng Qingqian, dressed in a long red dress, leaned against the table, her right hand propped up on the tabletop with her cheeks, her left hand holding a folded paper written by the minister.
She heard Li Jin come in, her pretty eyes staring at the folders without lifting them.
Quiet.
Li Jin carefully moved his feet to Meng Qingqians side and said, Cousin, I have two happy news!
Meng Qingqian Mm.
When Li Jin saw that his cousin responded, he hurriedly continued, The first is that my chess skills have improved again! The second is that I have a skill that far surpasses all others.
Meng Qingqian was not surprised by Li Jins statement, as he had said so every time.
As Li Jins cousin, she naturally had the obligation to discipline him.
The first reason is to avoid criticism that others are insensitive, and the second is to send a message to the public that I wont give up even Li Jin, let alone you.
Meng Qingqian looked at the fold and said softly, Bring the chessboard and play a game.
When Li Jin heard about playing chess, his mood instantly changed, and he nodded. He found the chessboard put away precisely in his cousins aunts bedchamber. Then he set it up on the table, and without further ado, he took the white pieces, and Meng Qingqian took the black pieces.
A moment later.
Li Jin said joyfully, Im going to win this time, Cousin!
Meng Qingqian withdrew her gaze from the fold, swept the board, and moved a black piece.
Immediately, Li Jin performed a face turn, instantly changing from joyful to defeated. Oooooo, cousin Im going to lose.
Meng Qingqian was not interested in playing along with Li Jin, so she said, Stop crying, count your progress this time.
Immediately, Li Jin was smiling again.
What about the skills? Meng Qingqians attention was still mostly on the folders in her hand.
This morning, she had gone to the Antler Academy and met with Fan Yu. As a result, the time that was already fully booked was even more somewhat insufficient.
Li Jin took out his book and said confidently, Cousin Auntie, I found out that I cant actually swoon over a poem! During the poetry competition at the Spring Breeze Mansion, everyone else looked dumbfounded, but only He Yunxiao and I were in a state of glory. Including this morning, when He Yunxiao and I were listening to a lesson at the academy, Miss Fan Ziruo was swooning over the poems, but I wasnt at all!
Meng Qingqian did not care what other specialty Li Jin had discovered. but when she heard He Yunxiaos name, she put the folders aside and asked carefully, You and He Yunxiao were listening to a lecture at the academy?
Li Jin nodded and vividly portrayed how Fan Ziruo was frozen at the time and how unaffected he was.
Meng Qingqian knew about Du Yinyuns presence at the Spring Breeze Mansion, but she was different from Yang Zhe and the others in that she didnt think Du Yinyun was important because being able to connect and being able to lead were two different things after all. This is why she thinks so highly of Fan Yu.
She knew that He Yunxiao and Li Jin had messed around with the Spring Breeze Mansion, but she didnt expect them to meet again at the Antler Academy.
Most importantly, the word He Yunxiao brought back a lot of shameful memories for her.
She was now in the Changhe Palace, and she was the famous Princess Meng Qingqian, above all others. Together with a deep red dress and Danfeng eyes full of majesty, she was even more dignified and graceful.
But at that time, the memories and feelings of being Li Qingmeng flowed back to her indisputably.
Embarrassed, ashamed, yet relaxed and at ease.
Meng Qingqian, as the one in authority, was required to be majestic. If the superior loses their majesty and the subordinate loses their respect, everything will go haywire.
She tried her best to exclude the influence of Li Qingmeng and said, You seem to have a good relationship with He Yunxiao?
Li Jin patted his chest and said, I have a very good relationship with Brother He.
Meng Qingqian nodded. This cousin-nephews level of understanding she had. When he said that he had done something bad, he made his story twice as big as it really was. When he said that he had done something good, he would turn the good thing upside down to make it true. Right now, Li Jin said that he had a good relationship, so he must have an average relationship.
Then, remembering He Yunxiaos explanation, Li Jin asked, Cousin, is there someone in our Li family called Li Qingmeng? Brother He asked me to ask. He also asked where this Li Qingmeng lived.
Meng Qingqians breath stopped for two seconds when she heard Li Jin mention this name. It suddenly occurred to her that if she were to let Li Jin also know about that, look she looked like at that time, it would simply
Absolutely cannot be exposed!
Not even in death!
There is one called Li Qingmeng, my cousin and also your cousin aunt. She lives in the West of the city near the Xian courtyard. If He Yunxiao wants to find her, just go there.
Li Jin nodded his head, indicating that he would take note of it.
Meng Qingqian was a bit flustered. She was afraid that Li Jin might be exposed by checking the genealogy at home, so she added, Li Qingmeng is a member of the Li family clan, but grew up with me in the imperial palace. Its normal that your father doesnt know about it, or even that its not in the genealogy.
Li Jin nodded again. He had always obeyed his cousins words and never doubted them.
Meng Qingqian thought about He Yunxiao and his sister Nanzhu.
Although he didnt need to rely on Nanzhu to curry favor with the Marquis family just yet, but for the sake of He Yunxiaos deep love and affection, Meng Qingqian decided to help him out. At least let these two have an emotional footing before they can successfully get married.
Seeing that you and He Yunxiao have a good relationship, Ill give you a task to do.
Li Jin was already in a good mood and hurriedly said, Please speak, cousin.
There is a Nanzhu Eldest Princess in Linxuan Palace, do you know?
Li Jin looked bewildered, I think Ive heard of it. But Ive never been there.
Meng Qingqian said, Mother is planning to betroth her to He Yunxiao.
Li Jin, who liked the hilarity the most, said, Thats a good thing!
He Yunxiaos personality is too hopeless. Nanzhu does not like strangers. You are familiar with the palace and you are also good friends with He Yunxiao, why dont you help me facilitate their marriage?
Okay!
Lets go then.
Im off, cousin!
Today, he had made progress in playing chess and showed off his special skills, and his cousin, who usually scolded him, was also pleased with him.
He thought that he had won another big event, and he had to do a good job of making his cousin compliment him.
However, He Yunxiaos appearance and reputation really put him in a difficult position.
As he walked, he thought, Will anyone like He Yunxiao, even if he looks like that? No? How could he get married if no one liked him?
Then he thought, I am liked by my cousin, and Nanzhu, who is also the Princess, must also like me. Then I would be He Yunxiao. Wouldnt that be the end of it?
So when they arrived at Linxuan Palace, Li Jin stood tall and proud in front of Meng Qingqian.
Li Jin: I am He Yunxiao!
Meng Qingqians eyes were wide and she didnt react for a moment to what was going on.
Li Jin said again, He Yunxiao is me.
Several palace maids looked at each other, thinking that this person was wrong in the head.
Remember it, He Yunxiao looks like me.
After saying this, Li Jin waved his sleeves, and left, not even looking back to see the crowds reaction, so to speak.
