Meng Zhuoer stayed at Prince Yinshan's Mansion that night.
Yue Zhiting arranged for her to stay in a wing next to the main courtyard.
It had been a long time since Meng Zhuoer spent the night in his small courtyard, and there was no one he knew around him, but for some reason he felt at ease.
But she has never been a safe person.
Meng Zhuoer slept until dawn, as if she were at home, and didn't wake up until her biological clock hit.
She stretched out lazily and discovered the women's dress hanging next to her.
It's a beautiful purple pomegranate skirt, shoes, and... women's trousers and bellyband.
Meng Zhuoer blushed slightly when she saw these two things, and murmured in a low voice: "I didn't expect that such a big and rough person could be so meticulous..."
…
On the other side, although Yue Zhiting slept very late the night before, she woke up before dawn.
He has a habit of boxing in the morning.
Especially when he discovered that beauty is useful, he paid more attention to body management.
He wiped the sweat from his body and looked at the sleeping puppy lying in the grass. He suddenly became interested and went to tease it.
The puppy was sleeping soundly, and was not angry even after being poked awake by someone's finger. He even happily jumped towards Yue Zhiting, as happy as if he had met his mother.
Yue Zhiting was still disgusted and couldn't help but look the dog up and down: "What do you think is so good about a little puppy like this? Yesterday I saw Meng Zhuoer hugging her and not letting go."
"Little girls should like this kind of soft little cub." Xia Yu said, and couldn't help but ask, "But Your Highness, haven't you always hated dogs? Why did you bring him to the main courtyard? Now that it's here, why don't you just leave it to the people below to take care of it?"
"What do you know?" Yue Zhiting tried to stroke the puppy with her hands, and unexpectedly found that it was quite soft and felt really good. "Meng Zhuoer likes it. When he wakes up, he will definitely think about it immediately. If she wants to find this puppy, the servant will tell her that the dog is with me, then she will come to find me!"
He poked the dog again and tried to pick it up like the second leader, but it still felt dirty and difficult to handle, so he gave up later.
Yue Zhiting continued to say to Xia Yu: "Yesterday the King of Japan was looking for her most of the night. This time I asked him to come to the King. It can be regarded as a courtesy~"
"What kind of courtesy is this? Miss Meng is here to see the dog, not you."
Xia Yu shattered his fantasy, but received the man's sharp gaze as soon as he spoke.
Xia Yu's expression changed and he spoke righteously: "Actually, looking for a dog is the same as looking for you, the prince. Anyway, it will be nice if Miss Meng comes over then."
Yue Zhiting nodded with satisfaction, but when he heard this, he felt something was wrong.
Outside the yard, Meng Zhuoer did come, but she didn't come looking for the dog.
She even forgot that she had picked up a dog.
But after hearing these words, she was still very happy.
Meng Zhuoer couldn't help but chuckle.
"Who's there-"
Meng Zhuoer's movement was not loud, but it was still heard by the men in the courtyard.
She was a little embarrassed, but before she could react, Shi Yue Zhiting and Xia Yu rushed out.
Seeing her, Yue Zhiting was a little startled, and thinking of what he had just said, he was so embarrassed that he didn't even know how to put his hands down for a while.
"M-Ms. Meng?"
Xia Yu was also dumbfounded, "When did you come?"
"I...just came." Meng Zhuoer said as if nothing had happened, "I'm here to see my little pup."
As she said that, she rushed into the yard and hugged the little puppy who had just fallen asleep. "I came to see if my little puppy was well taken care of and whether he was hungry."
"That's definitely not true. Besides, he also ate beef. The food is better than mine." Xia Yu was somewhat EMO when talking about it later.
"Look at what you said, maybe your master can still starve you."
Meng Zhuoer teased, but his eyes fell on Yue Zhiting who was a little behind.
She smiled and stroked the puppy in her arms.
The man walked forward slowly. He had a commanding aura just now. At this moment, he was only peaceful and even a little cold: "...Do you want some breakfast?"
"That's natural. I'll feel hungry if I don't eat this meal. I don't want to experience that feeling of being hungry again."
After speaking, she couldn't help but sigh.
Yue Zhiting's eyes flashed with distress, and she immediately asked the people underground to make preparations.
The girl with a kingly look and a gentle look on her face held the puppy in her arms, and her eyes were much deeper.
She always seems to be unreasonable and unforgiving, and she will always retaliate. It is rare that she is so tender and affectionate.
But actually think about it, living in such an environment, if she had not been more merciless, she would have died on the beach long ago, and where would the Meng Zhuoer of today come from.
"I will take you back to Duke Meng's mansion in a moment. When you are finished, I will personally tell your father about the matter with Yue Zhichen. With me coming forward, I believe your father will not embarrass you because of this matter."
Yue Zhiting said, "In addition, as for where you stayed yesterday, just say you were in Lianzhu Tower. If you can't answer any of their cross-examinations, then you can blame it on me, and I guess he won't be able to answer it." Do you have the courage to ask this king?"
Meng Zhuoer's thoughts wandered for a moment, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, but in the end she just nodded.
"Moreover……"
"Yue Zhiting, will you marry me?"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Meng Zhuoer suddenly asked him.
Yue Zhiting suddenly froze: "What?"
The girl took a deep breath and seemed to muster up the courage to ask him: "I ask you, do you want to marry me?"
When he heard the girl's question, Yue Zhiting was ecstatic, but he quickly returned to calm, his expression still calm and calm: "Didn't you keep saying that you are my future nephew? Wife?
Why did you change your mind after just one night? You... don't want to be the second princess? "
"I have never wanted to be the second princess. I want freedom, a career of my own and a future that is not dominated by others."
Meng Zhuoer's eyes darkened and she tugged her lips, "But I found that the society and customs here are like a huge monster. It can crush me with just a few fingers. I have no way to resist, and I can't resist. But I can't resist with an egg against a stone." .
For example, when Yue Zhichen came to complain to my father, it was obviously not my fault. I was wronged and injured first, but my father took out his riding crop and wanted to beat me without asking. If I had not escaped yesterday, I would have been beaten to death.
I have a grandfather who loves me very much, but my grandfather has his official business to deal with, and he can't protect me all the time. As Meng Xiangyi's daughter, I am born lower than him. Even if he kills me, Sanzang and Wuchang think he is right.
Even if I die, I can't resist him. As for Yue Zhichen... He is not a kind person. If I marry him, I will really die. When my grandfather and I separated, I mentioned the dissolution of the engagement to Concubine Chu and Your Majesty, but the answers I received were very ambiguous...
In the past few days, the more separations I have had with Yue Zhichen, the more convinced I am that he is a terrible person. It’s okay to say that His Majesty has not actually proposed marriage, but if the imperial decree of marriage comes, then I will really run away. But that's it. "
Yue Zhiting's brows furrowed deeply: "So, your marriage to me is just a temporary measure, and the purpose is to use me to break off the engagement for you?"
When he finished speaking, his voice completely changed, and it was as cold as picking bones.
