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

The morning sun was particularly bright, and there were sounds of swords being brushed from the garden next to the front hall. The old lady's maid, Chuntao, hurriedly ran along the corridor towards the garden.

She came to the side of the young prince and shouted loudly: "Little prince, young prince, the old lady invites you to come over for breakfast."

Seeing Chuntao waiting anxiously, Mei Xichen put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard and said to Chuntao: "Reply to the old lady, I will go change clothes and be there right away." After hearing Mei Xichen's reply, Chuntao Then he responded and walked towards the front hall.

The room where Mei Xichen lives is in a large courtyard next to the main hall. A large plaque at the top of the courtyard reads three characters - Yunxi Ting. His residence is large and bright, with a broad view and well-organized design.

There is a pavilion in the middle of the yard, located in the middle of the water. From time to time, koi carps swim leisurely in the pool. The picture-like scene, coupled with the early morning sunlight shining directly on the pavilion, makes the courtyard particularly lively. .

After a while, Mei Xichen walked out of the bedroom. Although his condition recurred last night, it did not affect his recovery. He looked delicate and handsome, with clear and bright eyes. He was dressed in green clothes, with a yellow belt tied around his waist. He walked briskly towards the front hall. At this time, he seemed to be a completely different person.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the maids busy serving breakfast. At this time, the old lady hurriedly took his hand and asked him to sit down.

After a while, all the meals were served, including all kinds of desserts and cakes. The tableware used were all carefully crafted and of the highest quality, which also showed that the level of luxury in the palace was not comparable to that of ordinary officials. of.

Halfway through breakfast, the old lady's face became serious. Suddenly he said: "Chen'er, although you have rejected my proposal many times, as a grandmother, I have to bring up the old matter again."

"Don't blame grandma for nagging me. It's for the good of our Mei family. I don't want the family business of Nuo Da to be cut off from your side. How can I have the honor to meet the Mei family's Lieutenant after I go there?" My ancestors."

As she spoke, tears of melancholy filled the old lady's eyes again.

"I originally wanted to introduce you to a marriage a few years ago, but you have repeatedly resisted due to years of stubborn illness, saying that this will harm others. I don't want to force you, think about it, but now I have to do it. I can't be the only old and lonely person left in our Mei family in the end. Can you understand the feeling of being a grandmother, grandson?"

"My grandson can understand my grandma's feelings, but I wouldn't do it before, and I won't do it now. Please understand me. I just want to live the rest of my life in peace. If that day comes, I will also ask grandma. do not be sad."

Before Mei Xichen finished speaking, the old lady was so angry that she almost fainted again. Fortunately, the maid beside her reacted quickly and supported her.

The old lady was so angry that she could not speak, and she quickly waved her hand for Mei Xichen to go out. Mei Xichen was just about to help her grandmother back to her room, but she was afraid that her grandmother would be even more angry, so she bowed and exited the front hall, heading towards her study. go.

Xu Mo watched the young prince coming out and could probably guess some of the situation and stepped forward to comfort him: "Young prince, relax, the old lady will understand your difficulties. It just takes time for her to change. Don't blame yourself too much."

Mei Xichen nodded, and the master and servant walked towards the other courtyard one after another.

"Chuntao, go and call Butler Mei. I have something to tell him."

After saying that, the old lady sat up and waited for the arrival of Butler Mei.

"What are the old lady's orders?" Butler Mei asked.

"Go and tell that unfilial descendant that next month happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival. If he can't find the woman he likes to get married, then his marriage will be all decided by me. If not, I will kill him in front of him. Fortunately, Atonement in front of my ancestors. During this period, I asked him not to visit me. I will be even more angry when I see him."

"Yes, old lady, I will go and report it to the young prince."

After saying that, Butler Mei exited the old lady's dormitory and went straight to Mei Xichen's study.

At this time, Mei Xichen was reading a book. When Manager Mei arrived, she asked, "Is it grandma who has something to do with me? Is she feeling better?"

Manager Mei stepped forward and told Mei Xichen exactly what the old lady asked him to convey, and then stepped forward to say a few words of relief, then withdrew.

There is a slightly remote courtyard in the backyard of the palace. This courtyard is where Mei Xichen's cousin Lin Yingxue lives. In fact, in this deep courtyard, not only the old lady is worried about Mei Xichen's condition, but her cousin also seems to be particularly concerned about her cousin. Brother's body just has a different starting point.

"Miss, it's not good, it's not good, the old lady is ill again." A maid ran towards Lin Yingxue's room in a panic.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? You are so unruly. What's wrong? Could it be that grandma is mad at my cousin again?"

"Then who can blame me? My parents died early, and I came here to live with my grandmother when I was 10 years old. I thought that my cousin would be appointed a prince by the emperor, and I would become a princess before my eyes, and I would be rich and prosperous in the future. There is so much to enjoy, but who would have thought that my cousin would suffer from such a chronic disease after returning from the border."

"At first, I thought I would just endure it for the sake of glory and wealth and the name of the princess. Who knew that even so, he would still refuse to marry me. Now that time is running out, who can I blame for ending up in this situation?"

After that, he asked the maid to quickly tidy up her clothes and headwear. "Come on, let's go see grandma and give her a greeting."

"My granddaughter has met her grandmother."

In a blink of an eye, Lin Yingxue came to the old lady's bed, bowed, the maid brought a chair, and the old lady motioned for her to sit down.

Then the old lady said to Lin Yingxue: "Yingxue, your parents died early. Although you were not brought up by me, you also grew up in this palace. If you are asked to make sacrifices for this family, can you do it?" willing?"

Lin Yingxue understood the old lady's intention as soon as she heard it and replied: "Grandma, it's not that my granddaughter is selfish. Now that my cousin is in this situation, I'm afraid there won't be much time left. How can you have the heart to entrust my life's affairs to a dying person?" Where is it in your hand?"

"What's more, my cousin has never looked down on me, right? You've mentioned it to your cousin so many times before, but he still refused. I think you should just leave it alone."

Lin Yingxue's words pierced the old lady's heart like a knife. At this time, the old lady also understood that Lin Yingxue was born selfish and greedy for vanity. Although she was her granddaughter, she was very dissatisfied with her words and deeds. If his grandson hadn't suffered from such a difficult disease, how could he be willing to betroth her to Mei Xichen.

The old lady was silent for a long time, and asked the maid to help her lie down on the bed, with her back to Lin Yingxue.

Lin Yingxue understood what was happening and saluted the old lady and walked out of her room.
