Chapter 195 Snake, long time no see
Meng Qianqian slept until dawn, and when she woke up, Lu Yuan was gone.
There is an early morning court session today, and he probably went to attend it.
Meng Qianqian rubbed her neck, looked at the thin layer of gauze covering her belly, and murmured hesitantly, "When did I fall asleep? I didn't even have a dream?"
"I guess... I didn't do anything to him last night, right? After all, I always sleep very well."
"elder sister!"
Tan'er strode into the house.
Meng Qianqian took away the Xiangyun yarn, opened the curtain and asked, "Tan'er, am I good in sleeping posture?"
Tan Er said without hesitation: "Okay! Anyway, I have never been woken up before!"
Meng Qianqian: ...even thunder can’t wake you up.
Liu Qingyun doesn't like to be followed when she goes out, so she didn't bring Banxia and Tan'er with her when she went to the princess's mansion yesterday.
Tan'er was so bored at home that she sat on a stool, swinging her thin legs and mumbling, "Sister, I want to go out and play."
"Okay."
Coincidentally, she also wanted to go back to Fengshui Hutong to see if Ji Li had returned to Beijing.
But before that, as a qualified daughter-in-law, she had to pay her respects to her mother-in-law first.
Liu Qingyun didn't wake up.
Meng Qianqian muttered strangely, "Didn't you sleep all night?"
After going to Tinglan Garden to have breakfast with the old lady and Baoshu, the two of them left.
"Sister, why don't you bring your precious piggy with you?"
Tan Er asked in confusion.
Meng Qianqian said: "What if my mother-in-law wakes up and finds that I, her daughter-in-law, am not here, who will comfort her?"
"Oh." Tan'er suddenly realized.
What Meng Qianqian didn't say was that if Ji Li came back, she might have to use some tricks to persuade Ji Li.
It might not be convenient if Baoshu were present.
"Tanghulu - selling Tanghulu -"
Meng Qianqian heard the vendor's call and walked up to buy two strings of sparkling candied haws for Tan'er.
Tan'er was very happy. She grabbed the candied haws and jumped forward.
Suddenly, a team of Jinyiwei came galloping towards them on the street.
Tan'er recognized the leading commander at a glance. It was Shangguan Ling, whom she had not seen for many days.
"Knife show?"
Tan Er's face darkened, "Big traitor! Today, I must teach you a lesson!"
She bent her waist and exerted force, rose from the ground, and attacked Shangguan Ling fiercely with a flying knee to the head.
Shangguan Ling was riding a horse and couldn't dodge left or right, but he hooked his stirrups and sank under the horse's belly. After avoiding the attack, he immediately sat back on the saddle.
Tan'er missed her target and landed on the ground with her toes.
When she turned around in disbelief, Shangguan Ling had already walked away.
Tan'er was so angry that she gritted her teeth and smashed the candied haws in her hand hard at the back of his head!
This time, it really hit the target.
The accompanying Jinyiwei suddenly shot a dart at Tan'er.
Meng Qianqian moved her fingertips, and the silver needle knocked away the hidden weapons of the Jinyiwei.
Tan Er stamped her feet: "I'm so angry! I'm so angry! When I catch him playing with a knife, I will chop off his head!"
Meng Qianqian looked at the backs of the group going away, and said thoughtfully: "Shangguan Ling has a leave order on him, it seems that he is planning to leave the city. That direction is the South City Gate. What are they going there for?"
After they walked away, a Jinyiwei asked, "Sir Shangguan, why didn't you kill that girl who tried to assassinate you just now?"
Shangguan Ling said: "It is important to meet the Miao King."
-
Feng Shui Hutong.
Ji Li and Si She came back exhausted.
Because Ji Li's compass broke down halfway, he had bad luck again and again, either falling into a dry well or stepping on a trap, and even causing Si Snake to break into the bathing pool of Yihong Courtyard with him, and was beaten up by the girls. Si Snake didn't kill him, which was really a very loyal snake.
Ji Li opened his folding fan and shook it handsomely: "I told myself that if I return to the capital, I will have great luck!"
Sishe glanced at him with his cold blue eyes and said, "I didn't come to Beijing with you just for your good fortune."
Ji Li said: "I know, I know. You are looking for Chen Long. I have calculated that he is not dead, nor is he missing. He is in the capital."
Sishe said: "Your divination better be accurate."
Ji Li raised his eyebrows and lifted a strand of silver hair that fell on his shoulders: "My divination is the same as my appearance, unparalleled in the world!"
Snake: "Are you married?"
"How can this handsome guard possibly get married? Huh?"
As Ji Li was talking, he was suddenly startled by the big red wedding character on the door. "Who? Who is marrying me? And which nymphomaniac is offering himself to me? There is no way I will agree to this marriage!"
Snake paused and said: "Rooster."
Ji Li was furious: "Call me Ji Li!"
"Ji Li!"
Ji Li shuddered, turned around in disbelief, and looked at Meng Qianqian who suddenly appeared behind him, "Why is it you? And you?"
Tan Er giggled: "Mr. Chicken? Long time no see!"
Sishe pointed at the big red lantern under Meng Qianqian's corridor and said, "I just wanted to remind you that it seems that someone next door is getting married, so I just posted a wedding sign on your house."
Ji Li was not comforted at all: "You got married again? Who is it this time?"
Meng Qianqian raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you know that? You're asking even though you already know the answer."
"I do not know!"
Ji Li collapsed and went out of Beijing. Little Yinhu was taken advantage of by the pig again!
Meng Qianqian folded her arms and said, "You've lived next door to me for so long, and you don't care about my marriage?"
Ji Li roared: "How do I know you are serious? Besides, why should I care about your marriage? I only care about when to kill you!"
Meng Qianqian stretched out her fingers and counted them one by one: "Moon, night, light, butt——"
Ji Li clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Yinhu, I am sorry!"
Sishe looked at Meng Qianqian suspiciously: "Are you the new Yinhu?"
Meng Qianqian pretended not to know him and asked in surprise, "Your Excellency is——"
Si Snake took off his bamboo hat: "Si Snake."
Meng Qianqian's eyes moved slightly.
Snake, long time no see.
……
"What did you say? You made a bet with Chen Long to see who gets more Twelve Guards?"
In the bare main room of the house, Ji Li got angry again.
Meng Qianqian looked at Sishe opposite her: "To be precise, I made a bet with Princess Wanping. Chenlong is now the adopted son of Prime Minister Xun and a guard in Princess Wanping's mansion."
Ji Li, who was sitting on the left side of Meng Qianqian, was unhappy and patted Meng Qianqian's wrist with his folding fan: "Hey, why are you looking at him?"
Don’t I have any status in this family?
Meng Qianqian stared at Sishe and said, "I can take you to see Chenlong, as long as you agree to go with me."
Sishe said: "I can go see him myself."
Meng Qianqian smiled faintly: "Really? Are you sure you can come back safely after meeting him? I might as well tell you the truth. There is a traitor among the Twelve Guards. Have you ever thought that if this traitor is Chen Long, with your martial arts skills, what are your chances of surviving him?"
Ji Li tried hard to make his presence felt: "Xiao Yinhu, why don't you think I'm a traitor?"
Sishe thought thoughtfully: "Traitor, as expected."
Ji Li looked bewildered: "What do you mean? Sishe, what have you thought of now?"
Sishe said to Meng Qianqian: "Okay, I promise you."
Ji Li: Ahhh! Is there anyone listening to me, Shuaiwei?!
One more early.
