After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

Mei Xichen asked Xu Mo to go down and prepare some food and wine in the kitchen, and the two started chatting with each other.

"The young prince's visit to our Kyoto this time has been very fruitful. Not only has the dividend from border trade been doubled, but the fertile area of ​​Liren has also been included in his pocket. You must be very satisfied." Mei Xi Chen looked at Shu Rong and said with a smile.

Na Shu Rong waved his hand and shook his head, seemingly not satisfied.

"Oh, by the way, the emperor also promised the young prince to marry. How is this going now? Is it going well?" Mei Xichen then asked.

"Prince Mei really wants to know?" Shu Rong looked at Mei Xichen, with a half-smiling look in his eyes, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Is there no woman you like?" At this time, Mei Xichen was still kept in the dark.

"I promised to marry the emperor, but those women are all vulgar and I don't like them. That day I saw a girl in the back mountain who was seeking suicide, so I rescued her." Shu Rong turned towards the door. He looked outside and vividly told Mei Xichen what happened that day.

Then he asked Mei Xichen: "Prince Mei, do you think that woman should marry me?"

"In my opinion, I should." Mei Xichen said with a smile.

"Did the young prince find the girl later?" Mei Xichen asked curiously.

"After many twists and turns, I finally found her, but she is already married." Shu Rong looked at the expression on Mei Xichen's face intently and hinted to him intentionally or unintentionally.

"What would Prince Mei do now?" Shu Rong continued to ask.

"Well, if it's me, I think that if the woman wanted to commit suicide, it would have been her husband's family who treated her badly and was forced to take this desperate path. If this is the case, then the young prince can ask the emperor It makes sense to make a request and ask the family to write a letter of divorce, divorce the woman, and then marry the young prince. It makes sense both logically and legally.

What's more, that girl was saved by you before, why would she agree to marry you? But does the young prince think it's worth the effort? "Mei Xichen asked earnestly.

"Of course it's worth it. I, Shu Rong, will never marry her unless I am her." Shu Rong looked at Mei Xichen with firm eyes. The two looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, the maid prepared the wine and food, and the two came to the wine table and started chatting freely. At this time, Mei Xichen looked at Shu Rong sincerely, but the purpose of Shu Rong's visit today was just to see. It's just Shangguanqing.

"The princess is not in the house today?" Shu Rong asked.

"Here, I asked her to come and she said it was not convenient for her to be here when we two grown men were discussing things." Mei Xichen said.

"Well," Shu Rong said nothing.

At this time, Shangguan Qing was on pins and needles in the bedroom. He was afraid that Shu Rong would reveal the matter, and Mei Xichen would be furious, but why was there no movement after so long?

So Shangguan Qing could no longer control his mood at the moment and decided to go ahead and take a look.

She walked slowly to the front hall and felt at ease when she saw Mei Xichen and Shu Rong chatting. "It seems that the young prince didn't say anything, so I'm relieved now." Thinking of this, Shangguan Qing turned around and wanted to go back, but Shu Rong happened to see him.

"Why did the princess have to leave before she came in?" Shu Rong looked at her and asked with a smile.

At this time, Mei Xichen also saw Shangguan Qing standing outside, "Qing'er, come in, the young prince and I mentioned you just now."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qing immediately looked back at Shu Rong, with a bunch of questions in his eyes? "You told the prince about me and you? Did you really do this? The prince knows."

Shu Rong looked at Shangguan Qing and naturally understood the murderous meaning in her eyes. He shook his head and smiled, but didn't answer.

Seeing that Mei Xichen had no reaction, she felt relieved and walked into the house to sit down.

Shu Rong looked at Shangguan Qing, picked up the wine glass, toasted her with a glass of wine and said: "Princess, Prince Mei and I just talked about the marriage between our two countries, and then he said that the king likes a woman..." Shu Rong He recounted the conversation with Mei Xichen just now to Shangguan Qing, and emphasized Mei Xichen's attitude.

"I wonder how the princess views this matter?" Shu Rong looked at Shangguan Qing affectionately and asked.

"I...I don't have any objections, but I think as the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than destroy a family's marriage." Shangguan Qing said stumblingly.

"Then if this marriage is not good to begin with, shouldn't it be ruined?" Shu Rong asked, staring closely at Shangguan Qing.

"Then...how does the young prince know that others are not doing well?" Shangguan Qing asked rhetorically.

Seeing that Shangguan Qing couldn't resist, Shu Rong smiled, nodded, and poured himself a drink.

When Shangguan Qing saw Shu Rong staring at her, she, who was already feeling guilty, did not dare to look directly into the eyes of Mei Xichen and Shu Rong, so she lowered her head in a hurry.

"Prince Mei, I am deeply honored that you and I are here to talk freely today. If you and I were not our own masters, I believe we would be very good brothers. I also remember what you said today, and it is still the same In short, no matter what, I will fight for the woman I like." After saying that, she looked at Shangguan Qing beside her and smiled.

"It's getting late today, so I won't interrupt you." Shu Rong stood up and saluted.

"Well, I won't keep you here today. We can talk again when we have the chance." Mei Xichen returned the greeting.

After Shu Rong walked out of the palace, Shangguan Qing's mood calmed down a little in a short time. She carefully considered what Shu Rong had just said, which meant that Shu Rong would take the next step. "Oh, what did I do? How did things end up like this?" Shangguan Qing thought to himself:

"Qing'er, Qing'er, what are you thinking about?" Mei Xichen patted her arm and asked.

"Ah, no, I was just a little distracted just now." Shangguan Qing immediately agreed.

"I see you've been distracted lately. What's going on with you?" Mei Xichen looked at Shangguan Qing with a puzzled look.

"Oh, I told you, it's okay." After saying this, Shangguan Qing hurriedly walked towards the yard.

When she came to Bieyuan Garden and sat on the swing, Shangguan Qing felt very uncomfortable. She was thinking: "How about a showdown with Shu Rong, saying that I am a fox and it is inappropriate to be with me? Let her stop marrying me. Thoughts? That's alright, but what if he tells the story? Wouldn't it be known to everyone in the court? "

"But then I thought again, although this Shu Rong is a little infatuated, a little rude and arrogant, he is still a decent man, and he shouldn't expose me in public. Anyway, there is no way out now, so it is better to tell the truth."

Just do it. I will go to Shu Rong's residence tonight to tell him the truth and see how he reacts before making a decision.
