I went to the temple after traveling through time, and he turned out to be a monk!

After having lunch at the queen's place, Meng Ying said that she would take Bai Zhi to the palace for a walk. In front of the queen, Bai Zhi couldn't hold back, so she followed him out.

The two of them were strolling around, each going his own way without saying a word.

"The queen didn't teach you anything weird, right?" Meng Ying spoke first.

You can't say it even after being taught. Could it be that the queen taught her to read pornographic books, so Bai Zhi said in a sullen voice, "No."

Seeing that her reaction was still cold, a touch of sadness ran through my heart, and I hesitated to speak.

But in the end she couldn't bear it anymore, and Meng Ying asked again: "What did your father tell you today?"

Bai Zhi thought about it for a long time, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"Is the princess worried?" Meng Ying interrupted Bai Zhi's thoughts.

Bai Zhi came back to her senses and figured it out instantly. As she walked, she stroked the bright flowers blooming by the roadside and said casually: "Since we are cooperating, I think it is necessary to tell you. Your father asked you to give birth to a child. My son, I have also issued a decree. Your grandmother wants you to marry Zhuo Ling. You can handle these matters as appropriate."

There was a moment of silence, and no one spoke again.

When the two of them reached Weiyang Palace, Meng Ying stopped. He turned his head and stretched out his hand towards Bai Zhi, "Princess, would you like to go in with Sa Lan and take a look?"

After all, could she still run away in front of the public, regardless of the prince's face?

The more I get to know Meng Ying, the more I feel that he is bottomless. He seemed to be given a choice every time, but every time after making a self-righteous choice, he would later realize that it was not his choice at all, but Meng Ying wanted you to choose this way.

This made Bai Zhi feel a deep sense of powerlessness. Instead of putting her hand up, she turned around and rushed into Weiyang Palace.

There are many crabapple trees planted in Weiyang Palace. They are no longer blooming this season. The branches are lush and leafy, and they are pruned just right. It can be seen that the yard has been carefully taken care of.

There were not many people in Weiyang Palace, but when they saw Meng Ying, they were all smiling and very friendly, "Your Majesty! It's been a long time since I last saw you!"

Meng Ying smiled and nodded, pushing Bai Zhi forward, "This is the princess."

"Oh, this slave deserves to die, this slave must meet the princess!"

"Slave, please see the princess!" Several nuns also gathered around.

Bai Zhi showed a standard smile, told them to avoid courtesy, and then let them go and do what they were supposed to do.

At this time, Meng Ying said that this was the palace where his mother and concubine lived before.

Meng Ying opened the door and took Bai Zhi into the bedroom.

The dormitory is surprisingly clean, not stained by a trace of dust, but there is no trace of human life.

Bai Zhi glanced at the two rag dolls placed in the niche next to the bed. At a glance, she knew that they were hand-sewn, and the stitches were thick and ugly.

Bai Zhi got closer and saw clearly that one of the dolls was a boy, and the other one had two little braids of wool and was a girl.

Both rag dolls have red bellybands sewn on. The boy's bellyband has a ying stitched on it, while the girl's belly has a slanted wang next to it with an unfinished embroidery character.

Bai Zhi unconsciously picked up the female doll, stretched out her hand to touch the rough stitches, raised her head to meet Meng Ying's eyes, and whispered, "Jin'er?"

Bai Zhi watched Meng Ying's eyes filled with pain. Finally, Meng Ying stretched out her index finger and made a hissing motion on her lips, signaling Bai Zhi to stop talking.

Bai Zhi silently put the doll back.

It seems that Jin'er is indeed a secret that cannot be mentioned in the palace.

Meng Ying took Bai Zhi and walked around Weiyang Palace, recalling how he practiced swordsmanship in this courtyard when he was a child.

There are deep and shallow scars on these trees, but they are now taller than people.

Although the prince was narrating these past events calmly, his words could not help but reveal sentimentality.

Bai Zhi did not comfort him, but listened quietly. She would follow wherever Meng Ying went, and she would give simple answers when Meng Ying asked questions.

Meng Ying, who didn't get the expected response, felt sour in her heart. She couldn't help but laugh at herself from an angle that Bai Zhi couldn't see.

Live it!

The auspicious time has arrived.

The Queen's birthday dinner is about to begin.

The location is in the center of a beautiful man-made lake in the palace. The site is not regular, but somewhat winding. There are many long and short tables surrounding the winding lake. There are a dazzling array of fruits and cakes on the tables, as well as many nuts, snacks and drinks.

Meng Ying took Bai Zhi and sat beside the long table. The seats had been arranged long ago, and Meng Ying's position was under the prince.

In addition to the royal family and nobles, there were also many important officials of the court, but they sat far away.

Bai Zhi felt a headache at the thought of sitting next to the prince.

The dinner began under the brilliant sunset.

Emperor Jingde personally presided over the opening ceremony for the queen, which shows that he attached great importance to it. After a brief exchange of greetings, the gift-giving session began.

At first, Bai Zhi was a little surprised by these beautiful jade and strange stones, the exquisite hairpin made by craftsmen, and the high-grade forged skirt sewn by the embroiderer.

Looking at the back, I feel a little tired of aesthetics.

For some reason, Meng Ying's gift was put last.

Finally it was Meng Ying's turn. He slowly showed off the birthday gift, a beautiful princess-colored crystal glazed lamp, and introduced that it was a treasure found in the Western Regions.

Emperor Jingde showed great interest, and the queen was full of praise. Everyone agreed and applauded.

In fact, Bai Zhi felt that although this thing was beautiful, it would not overwhelm other gifts.

All I can say is that they are all good actors!

After everyone had finished flattering him, Emperor Jingde said leisurely, "It is said that this thing is rare in the Western Regions. How did Ying'er find it?"

"Sa Lan is not talented, but he got it from someone he knows well." Meng Ying was modest and polite, talking about the origin of this thing, and after some processing, everyone praised it.

Emperor Jingde seemed to suddenly realize it, and said, "In a few days, envoys from the Western Regions will come to pay tribute, and they will bring a batch of precious stones from the Western Regions. Since you are well versed in this, Ying'er, why don't you receive the envoys from the Western Regions."

As soon as these words came out, the scene was silent at first, and then someone echoed, "Yes! We don't understand gems, and we won't be fooled by the old man from the Western Regions. His Highness Prince Ning is indeed an excellent candidate!"

Gradually, the voices of agreement became louder and louder, so Meng Ying accepted this job as a matter of course under the recommendation of everyone.

After a moment, the crowd gathered around him and began to toast Meng Ying.

Bai Zhi also gradually understood Meng Ying's good plan, which was good, but she didn't know anything, which really hurt her self-esteem.

She didn't even want to agree anymore. She hid behind the crowd and competed with the nuts on the table.

During this period, Bai Zhi kept feeling the gloomy gaze cast by the prince at the table next to her.

neglect! neglect! Annoying!

Bai Zhi couldn't pry open the nut. In fact, she could have asked the palace attendants to peel the nut for her. After all, they were standing nearby just to serve the master.

But Bai Zhi couldn't see anything at the moment, she just wanted to smash the nut! I can't wait to find a hammer right away and smash it to pieces!

Meng Ying drank a few glasses and saw Bai Zhi pouting through the crowd, fiddling with the nuts in her hand. After peeling it for a long time, it couldn't be peeled off. Finally, I smashed the nut on the ground and started to compete with the next nut.

I can feel her anger even from such a distance!

Meng Ying felt guilty.

On the pretext that the dance at the Queen's birthday banquet was about to begin, he declined the toasts from the ministers.

He returned to the desk with a somewhat impatient pace.
