Seeing Xia Chengyi so distressed, no longer as delicate and sassy as before, Mei Yuanchen's heart ached and she couldn't speak for a long time. "Yiyi is already in her prime, and she has always been free and uninhibited. Locking her in a boudoir all day is really a matter of burning the harp and boiling the crane. Even with all my strength, I should free her from this shackles. " Then she thought that if she married a son of an official family in the future, she would inevitably have to live such a life of resentment and lack of freedom. She couldn't help but panic and blurted out, "Yiyi, I don't want you to live like this. I want you to be happy every day. joy!"
Xia Chengyi, who was originally bored, suddenly heard what he said. His expression was stunned, his face turned red, and he scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about! How can you control me!" In the past year or so, what Xia Chengyi has said The man he saw most often was Mei Yuanchen instead of Xia Chengxuan. In her heart, Mei Yuanchen has long been like a brother and a friend, and is actually one of the closest people to her. When we got along in the past, we had quite a few ambiguous words, but I had never heard him make such a positive statement, and I couldn't help but feel panicked. Mei Yuanchen regretted saying those words, feeling ashamed of Haitang and afraid of bumping into Xia Chengyi. But what he saw in front of him was that Xia Chengyi's face was red, his eyes were twinkling, and his words of reprimand were soft and weak. He felt that his blood was strong, and he was fearless for a moment. He said boldly, "Yiyi, I will try my best, even if I risk my life, I can't do it." I want you to get what you want!" After hearing this, Xia Chengyi felt his mind was in chaos, his heart was beating rapidly, his whole body was warm, and an indescribable joy spread in his heart and brain. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, a slight smile couldn't help but appear on his face, he lowered his head and said softly, "I know, you, you have always treated me very well."
Mei Yuanchen looked at the person in front of him infatuatedly, as if falling into a dream, remembering the beautiful scenes in his dreams many times, and no matter how difficult it was to control, he opened his hands and leaned his body, taking Xia Chengyi into his arms. Xia Chengyi never expected that Mei Yuanchen would be so bold. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was embarrassed and anxious. While pushing him with his hands, he scolded, "What are you doing? Let me go!" Although he was pushing with his hands, his mouth was Yi was refusing, but her heart was as sweet as honey, "Brother Yuanchen turns out to like me too! No wonder he gave me a pair of birds and a mandarin duck, but he had this idea!" In fact, it was not that Mei Yuanchen intended to give her these things. As for birds of love, he only asked Po Wang for some beautiful and auspicious birds. The clay figurine king did as he was told, and it happened that there were birds and mandarin ducks among them. He didn't expect it, but he used it to accomplish something good! At this moment, I feel extremely grateful to Mrs. Wang and his wife.
"Yiyi, you, you are so kind, I like you!" Mei Yuanchen hugged Xia Chengyi and said vaguely. Xia Chengyi had never been so close to a man. At this moment, being held tightly by Mei Yuanchen, it was as if he was holding his soul. She was ashamed and happy, so she had to bury her head in his arms, not daring to speak.
"Squeak~" The door opened. Xia Chengyi heard the voice and hurriedly got up from Mei Yuanchen's arms and hurriedly arranged her hair. Mei Yuanchen watched from the side, feeling that the beauty's smile and every frown were beautiful, and her heart was filled with love. Zi Teng walked carefully with the food tray, walked to the tea table, put the food tray down, and said to Xia Chengyi, "Princess, I brought some fruit preserves and shortbread cookies, come and eat some!" Before Xia Chengyi spoke, Mei Yuanchen spoke first, "Ziteng, go and make a pot of hot tea for the princess." Ziteng picked up the teapot on the table, shook it, and said, "There is still tea!" Mei Yuanchen paused for a moment and then said, "Then go get some juice for the princess." Zi Teng was even more surprised. She looked at Xia Chengyi and saw her glaring at Mei Yuanchen. Zi Teng was Xia Chengyi's close attendant and stayed with her day and night. She had already sensed the affection between the two of them. Seeing that her princess was blushing and angry at the same time, she couldn't understand why she couldn't understand. She immediately said "Oh~" with deep meaning and quietly left. Go down.
Hearing Zi Teng's steps go away, Xia Chengyi put his hands on his hips, glared at Mei Yuanchen and cursed, "You, you stupid bastard! Taught Zi Teng to laugh at me! I won't obey! I won't obey!" After that, he stretched out his hand to Mei Yuanchen. He pinched hard with his left arm, causing the pain to turn the corner of his mouth to one side. "Okay Yiyi, are you relieved?" Mei Yuanchen asked for mercy. Xia Chengyi chuckled and pretended to be angry, saying, "Huh, you just said some nonsense, obviously you want to push away the wisteria. That little girl is so smart, she doesn't know what you are thinking! Seriously teach me I'm so embarrassed!" Mei Yuanchen felt that being beaten and scolded by Xia Chengyi was a beautiful thing. He stretched out his hand to caress her face and said warmly, "Okay, Yiyi taught you the right lesson. Xiaosheng won't dare to do it anymore!" Xia Chengyi couldn't bear it. Looking at Mei Yuanchen, he gently opened his hand and said, "I'm so hungry!" After saying that, he took a piece of Echinacea cake and stuffed it into his mouth. He remembered that Mei Yuanchen was looking at him and said hurriedly, "I look very ugly when I eat it, you are not allowed to look at it!" Mei Yuanchen said pitifully, "Yiyi is not ugly at all." After saying that, he reached out and took out a piece of Erythrina cake and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it and saying, " I'm hungry too." The two of them looked at each other and smiled, one and the other, competing to eat.
The two of them were really hungry, but in just one cup of tea they ate all but one piece of pastry and pastry on their plates. Xia Chengyi held a green onion cake in each hand, looked at the only piece of chestnut cake left on the plate, and said vaguely, "Don't grab that chestnut cake from me!" The chrysanthemum cake in Mei Yuanchen's hand was almost to her mouth, Hearing Xia Chengyi say this, he stopped moving his hands and stuffed the cake into her mouth as soon as it was all gone. Xia Chengyi smiled sweetly, eating with gusto, "ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, he accidentally choked. Mei Yuanchen hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and Xia Chengyi took it and drank it in one gulp. After drinking, Mei Yuanchen came over with an empty cup. Mei Yuanchen hurriedly filled another cup. Xia Chengyi drank four cups in a row and still felt unclean in his throat. "Ah, the tea is finished." Mei Yuanchen shook the teapot and said.
Xia Chengyi's voice was hoarse and he cursed in a low voice, "Where did this poor little girl Zi Teng go to be happy? Why didn't she come back? She choked the girl to death!" Mei Yuanchen looked on, worried and amused at the same time, and said, " Yiyi, I'll bring you a pot of tea!" After saying that, he walked out the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Ziteng standing at the door holding a porcelain pot with a strange smile on his face. "Ziteng, why are you here?" Mei Yuanchen asked curiously. Ziteng looked uncomfortable and replied, "I, I just came here, I didn't hear what you said." After saying that, he regretted, thinking to himself, "Oh, I am such a bad mouth, these words are not superfluous. !" Mei Yuanchen guessed that she had probably been waiting at the door for some time, and probably listened to the conversation between the two, so he said sarcastically, "Oh, then come in, the princess is feeling thirsty."
Zi Teng tried not to laugh, carried the porcelain pot to the tea table, poured a glass of fruit drink into Xia Chengyi's cup, and said, "Princess, this is the pear juice just squeezed from the kitchen. It is the best to quench your thirst. Drink it and take a look. ." Xia Chengyi picked up the cup and drank the pear juice in one gulp, and her throat felt clean as expected. After drinking the pear juice, he put down the tea cup and cursed, "Ziteng, you damn little girl, are you hiding at the door and eavesdropping!" Ziteng poured another cup for Xia Chengyi and said pitifully, "Princess Princess, I, I arrived a while ago and wanted to come in, but I felt that it was quite inconvenient, so I waited at the door for a while." Seeing Xia Chengyi looking at him angrily, he said anxiously, "Princess, don't worry, I don't have anything. I heard it! I’m determined not to tell anyone about it!” Then he thought, “Oh, I’m so stupid, I said the wrong thing again. If you didn’t hear it, why didn’t you tell others about it? Isn’t this a clear attempt to deceive the princess? !" He turned to look at Mei Yuanchen, with a bitter look on his face, pleading for mercy. Mei Yuanchen smiled awkwardly and said to Xia Chengyi, "Yiyi, don't worry about Ziteng anymore." Mei Yuanchen turned to Zi Teng and said to her, "Don't tell anyone else about the matter between Yiyi and me. When the time comes, I will tell my adoptive father and mother." Zi Teng has been telling this prince's adopted son She was quite fond of him, and saw his sincere face, so she replied seriously, "Master Yuanchen, please rest assured. I have been with the princess since she was a child, how could I harm her. I will not tell anyone else about this matter." "
"Ziteng, what do you think of him?" After Mei Yuanchen walked away, Xia Chengyi fiddled with her hair and lowered her head to ask Ziteng. Zi Teng brought a cloak and put it on Xia Chengyi, sat beside her, tilted her head and thought for a while, then replied, "Master Mei is the first rank of the current dynasty, and has just been awarded a title. Young Master Yuanchen is the only son of Master Mei, and he is the only son of Master Mei." The prince's adopted son is naturally a good match for the princess. Young Master Yuanchen has a handsome appearance and a gentle manner. I heard from the prince that he is also a first-class talent in the hospital, and his personality and talents are a perfect match for the princess. This year Come more often, and bring your favorite puppet to the princess every time you come back. He is knowledgeable and thoughtful, and you will not be bored when you are with him."
Xia Chengyi listened to Zi Teng's many words, and his heart was filled with joy, and his thoughts were far away.
