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

Not long after, Bai Zhi stood in front of the door of the Secretary's Office, looking like a servant, waiting for the announcement.

There was a discussion going on in the hall, and Meng Ying sat in the second seat, taking a sip of tea and listening carefully.

"I came from the Western Region and received a thousand taels of gold, a hundred good horses, two thousand sheets of silk, four hundred sheets of fine linen, some saddles, ivory, and rhinoceros horns..."

The Minister of Rites is not too old, about thirty years old, and his name is You Ming. He is the eldest brother of the current queen and the son of the former prime minister.

After listening to the report, he was silent for a moment, leaned back, and said casually to Meng Ying: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning, tell me, what do you think of this gift list?"

Meng Ying smiled politely and said, "Salan has never seen the world. I don't know what to do. Please give me some advice, Lord You."

"Hey, did the prince say what he said?"

"What the hell! Sa Lan just wants to hear Mr. You's opinion."

"No, please ask the prince to open his mouth."

"Master You, tell me."

You Ming: "Say."

Meng Ying: "Say."

……

The two of them fought for half a cup of tea. After a long time, wrinkles appeared on the eyebrows of the people below.

Until a government official quietly reported to Meng Ying that there was a boy at the door, carrying a food box, saying he was from Prince Ning's Mansion.

Meng Ying's eyes lit up and she immediately sat up straight, "Then I have to tell Sa Lan that this gift list is not enough."

You Ming hurriedly stopped his refusal and said, "Oh? What's wrong?"

"Beauty!" Meng Ying said seriously.

"Beauty? To whom should I send the beauty? To His Majesty?" You Ming's eyes became a little nervous.

"The Crown Prince of Zhennan, Zhuo Yao! He is of marriageable age and handsome. He has never taken a wife or taken any concubines. The Queen Mother is very worried. Her grandchildren have to solve problems for the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, You Ming was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning really hit the nail on the head!"

The person originally chosen by the Queen Mother was said to be the daughter of the Liangzhou general who had hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, but if this marriage really happened, it would really be an added advantage for the Zhuo family. Now, if you choose a weaker in-law from the Western Regions who doesn't like war, and cut him off halfway, the Queen Mother's move will be dead.

You Ming couldn't help but admire Meng Ying's vivid thinking.

After the discussion, Meng Ying hurriedly went to find the so-called boy. He thought it might be the food box sent by Bai Zhi. His steps became much more brisk, and his skirts flew up with joy.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, Meng Ying was tightly hugged around the waist by a "boy" in blue and gray clothes.

The fragrance in her hair was fragrant. Meng Ying put her chin on it and rubbed it. She chuckled and said, "Whose young man is so handsome?"

Bai Zhi raised her head, raised her lips, and revealed a wicked smile, "The prince hates me! I secretly came to see you behind the princess's back!"

When Meng Ying heard this, she couldn't help laughing, "Oh! If you leave your post without the princess's consent, I will punish you!"

"How does the prince want to punish me?" Bai Zhi looked expectant.

A dark light flashed in Meng Ying's eyes, and she bit her lips unconsciously, then covered her lips with hers in the next moment.

Well, it’s simply a ruin of etiquette and joy! Meng Ying thought in her mind.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, lord, do you still remember where this is!" You Ming's voice came to mind outside the door.

Just as Bai Zhi was immersed in it, she shuddered at the sound, her face turned red and her ears burned. The boldness I had just now disappeared in an instant, and I was so embarrassed that I just wanted to find a place to get in!

Meng Ying wasn't much better either. He tried his best to calm down and patted Bai Zhi's shoulder gently, with a calm look on his face, "Master You, what advice do you have?"

"No, no, no! How dare I!" You Ming said with a sly smile.

"Then Master You, please help yourself!" Meng Ying continued to hold Bai Zhi and said calmly.

You Ming had no intention of leaving. He just wanted to see Meng Ying's deflated look, which was inexplicably funny. "My lord, are you still not going to let go of the sweetheart in your arms? This is the Ministry of Rites. If people see it, there will be people on the streets tomorrow." There are rumors that Prince Ning likes men. After all, I am also your immediate boss, so I have to take care of it no matter what!"

"You Ming, do you still want to accept that prostitute from Qixiang Tower?" Meng Ying said teasingly.

"Hahahahahaha, I really can't hide anything from you! Okay, I can't afford to offend you, I can't afford to offend you! I'm just here to ask you, are you taking revenge on Zhuo Yao?"

Meng Ying glanced at him with disgust, "Master You, Sa Lan is going to the palace tomorrow."

The corner of You Ming's mouth twitched, "Okay, okay, I won't disturb the prince's pleasure." After that, he walked away with a puff of sleeves. When he walked to the door, he said, "Don't tell the queen about taking concubines yet!"

After the people left, Bai Zhi quietly poked her head out, her face flushed and her eyes misty.

Meng Ying's heart tightened when she saw it.

"Is that Mr. You? He won't misunderstand that you really like men, right?" Bai Zhi said a little embarrassed.

"He is smarter than anyone else! Don't worry about him, he doesn't dare to talk nonsense." Meng Ying said casually.

The two of them sat down and enjoyed the food that Bai Zhi had packed back from the restaurant.

Meng Ying commented while eating, "This tastes really ordinary! Isn't it made by our family?"

"You ate all this! I went to the restaurant to buy it!"

Bai Zhi also told Meng Ying about the rumors he heard in the restaurant and about Zhuo Ling helping them vent their anger. She was careful when she spoke, only hiding the matter of not mentioning it.

"Ling'er is nosy!" Meng Ying commented casually.

Bai Zhi suddenly covered her tears, pursed her lips, and looked aggrieved, "Why did you call her Ling'er! It's so dear! You always only call me Princess! Do you still have feelings for her?" !”

Meng Ying quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and hurriedly coaxed, "It's Sa Lan's, isn't it? Sa Lan shouldn't call her like that. From now on, Sa Lan will just call her Miss Zhuo, okay?"

Bai Zhi turned her head and pretended to be angry, "Humph!"

"Besides, aren't you a 'boy'? Why are you a princess again?"

This person is quite immersed in cosplay! Bai Zhi couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.

The two laughed and had lunch, and Meng Ying enjoyed this leisure time very much.

Meng Ying suddenly asked: "Zhi'er came today not just to give you this food, right?"

"You can see this? Are you the roundworm in my stomach?" Bai Zhi was stunned.

"Didn't you say that husband and wife are of the same mind?" Meng Ying chuckled.

This sentence of Angelica dahurica is still useful. She felt that they were like newlyweds, wishing they could be with him all the time, even if they were roundworms in his stomach.

Bai Zhi nodded, "Didn't you say that Xiao Yang is back? They all said that you are the only one who knows where he is. I want to see if he is injured?"

Meng Ying smiled bitterly. Although there were some words that he didn't seem to need to say, he couldn't help but say, "You, you! You really don't care about Sa Lan's life or death. Aren't you worried about Sa Lan getting jealous?"

Bai Zhi thought about this question seriously, pursed her lips, and said with some lack of confidence: "If I have any behavior that exceeds the rules and makes the prince uncomfortable, please point it out to the prince, and I will definitely change it."

"But Xiao Yang is both a guard and a friend to me. He has saved me many times and treated me very well. I can't ignore him."

Meng Ying chuckled upon hearing this. He took Bai Zhi's hand, held her on his lap, and said, "Zhi'er is right, it's Sa Lan who is confused."

"Thousands of experiences and thousands of emotions can make a person successful."

"If you disown your relatives just because Zhi'er married me, that would really be Sa Lan's sin."

"But you should know what he is thinking and don't give him any false illusions."

Bai Zhi nodded with tears in her eyes. She originally thought that such words could be called deviant.

She never expected that as a modern person, she was not as knowledgeable as an ancient person about "self".

Bai Zhi suddenly gave Meng Ying a bear hug, lay on his neck, and whispered, "Your Majesty, you are so transparent! I have figured it out, you can call Miss Zhuo Ling'er!"

Meng Ying was puzzled, "What?"

"Because that is an indelible part of your life. It is because of these experiences that you are the prince you are now!"

"I like the current prince, so I can't cut him out of your life."

"But the prince can only like me in the future, otherwise I will not obey you! When the time comes, I will definitely draw a circle and curse you!"

Meng Ying sighed while wondering what the hell the drawing of a circle was.

After a while, he chuckled, "Okay, it's up to you, it's all up to you."
