Only then did Meng Shaoqing slowly walk out. He threw the purse in his hand to Xie Chengyin, and then said: "Knocking someone unconscious with a purse will make people speechless. His Royal Highness is really simple and unpretentious!"
Xie Chengyin looked at the purse in his hand and smiled helplessly: "The situation was urgent at that time, and there was nothing handy at hand. I just grabbed something of some weight, and it was just a small purse!"
Meng Shaoqing walked up to Xie Chengyin: "Why didn't I know that the Hun prince wanted my sister to marry?"
"My father refused on the spot, and if I let you know about it, wouldn't it just cause you trouble?" Xie Chengyin put his wallet away, "Needless to say, you know that he is interested in the power of your Meng family on the border of the Huns.
Over the years, you have been suppressing the border, and the Meng family army has always been the one the Xiongnu urgently orders. If you really marry your sister, the entire border will be in chaos!"
"However, I am very curious. This method of directly knocking people unconscious is not what His Highness the Crown Prince usually uses. I wonder who is talking too much in front of His Highness the Crown Prince?" Meng Shaoqing couldn't help but think of the purse that flew in front of him.
smiled.
"That was your sister's idea. She said that if you want to silence a person for a short time or a long time, the best way is to make him faint or beat him to death. I think it makes sense!" Xie Chengyin thought of Meng's pair.
The way Wan said this expressionlessly, she couldn't help but want to laugh, "Now it looks like it is indeed a good idea!"
Meng Shaoqing took a deep look at Xie Chengyin, and then said: "If one day, your sister or my sister, one of you has to go to get married, what will your highness do?"
Xie Chengyin was speechless. He looked at Meng Shaoqing and did not answer for a long time.
In fact, the answer is obvious. For Meng Shaoqing, his sister Meng Duiwan is more important than anything else. The same is true for Xie Chengyin. Chunhe is also his only biological sister and the most important, so if there is really
At that time, the one who will be abandoned will definitely be Meng Duiwan.
Meng Shaoqing knew this very clearly, but when he really revealed the truth in front of himself, he still couldn't bear it: "Your Highness is also an elder brother, and I am also an elder brother. My sister was lost once and died several times.
From now on, no one should think of losing her from me, I hope His Highness will show his sincerity!"
Xie Chengyin took a deep breath, and then nodded: "Your sister disappeared in order to save Chunhe, so no matter what, I will keep this kindness in my heart, and I will do my best to protect you.
My sister, I will also protect my own sister!"
"Then please give Your Highness the Crown Prince more trouble over this matter!" Meng Shaoqing smiled, then saluted and turned to leave.
Although he said so, in fact, Xie Chengyin had no confidence at all. After all, the Hun Prince seemed to be destined to win, so this matter might not be solved so easily.
Just when Xie Chengyin was sitting dejectedly in the corridor outside the banquet hall, thinking of something to do, Su Xubai came over at some point. When Xie Chengyin heard the footsteps, she knew it was him, and without even raising her head, she said: "
Why are you so concerned about the Meng family’s daughter?”
"The prince's force just now seems to have been too much. I heard that the Hun prince has a big swelling on the back of his head. I'm afraid he will wake up tomorrow and cause trouble." Su Xubai walked to Xie Chengyin and sat down, "wait until then
,How do you want to explain His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"He drank too much and fell down. What does the smashed bag have to do with me?" Xie Chengyin raised his eyebrows, "Not just anyone can drink the wine in China!"
Su Xubai looked at Xie Chengyin for a long time, and then smiled: "Yes, not just anyone can drink the wine in China, and not just anyone can marry a woman in China."
Xie Chengyin was stunned. He turned back to look at Su Xubai: "Woman?"
"Yes, woman, doesn't he just want to marry a woman? It's not up to us to decide whether to choose." Su Xubai smiled, "What do you think if there is an official family member lying on his bed now?
Woman, if he must marry that woman as his wife, then his position as a wife has already been taken, and whoever he wants to marry as his wife no longer has that position!"
Xie Chengyin looked at Su Xubai for a long time, and finally laughed suddenly: "I still find it strange that although your brother's temper in Yongchang Houfu is not very good, he is a straightforward person. Even if he has a heart for the city, he doesn't bother to use it.
, but when Meng Duiwan looked at it, it was different. I think Meng Duiwan has been with you for so long, so she learned all her cunning from you, right? "
"Treacherous?" Su Xubai raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this a soldier who conquers the enemy without fighting? The battlefield is indeed very dangerous, but the rear of the battlefield may not be safe. As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit, so the Hun prince has suppressed his ambitions.
Aren't we allowed to fight back on the table?"
Xie Chengyin smiled and patted Su Xubai on the shoulder: "It's a good idea, but it's really out of date. Besides, where can I find such an unlucky woman?"
"There must be brave men under a heavy reward, and there will always be someone who is willing." Su Xubai stood up slowly, "In a while it will be time to set off the fireworks. It is like this every year. There is really nothing new!"
"But every year has to pass, and the banquet will be over in a while. When we go back to watch the New Year, everyone will be one year older!" Xie Chengyin also stood up, "Su Xubai, you are no longer a teenager now!"
Su Xubai turned back to look at Xie Chengyin, then smiled and said: "Isn't it the same for Your Highness?"
Su Xubai didn't stay any longer and turned back to the banquet hall.
When he went back, he happened to bump into Meng Duiwan, who was standing at the door for some air. The two looked at each other, but just nodded, as if they knew each other but were unfamiliar with each other.
After Su Xubai entered the banquet hall, Meng Duiwan felt a little heavy and his face became a little ugly. Forsythia couldn't help but worry: "Girl, what's wrong?"
Meng Duiwan shook his head: "It's nothing, I just felt a little sad suddenly."
"Sad? Why, because someone is thinking about the girl and wants her to get married?" Forsythia thought of the Hun prince just now and immediately became angry and itched her teeth.
"But that's not the case!" Meng Duiwan took a deep breath, then turned around and went back, "Go back and have a toast, the banquet should be over!"
When he returned, the emperor had already stood up and was about to leave. After everyone saw the emperor leave, they also stood up and prepared to go home.
There is a banquet held in the palace every year, but the emperor also considers that the ministers will go home to watch the New Year, so it will be ended early, and this year is no exception.
When we left the palace gate, fireworks had already begun to be set off outside, and the fireworks would last until midnight.
Meng Duiwan stood at the foot of the Imperial City and looked up at the fireworks in the sky. She felt a little melancholy: "It turns out that the fireworks I saw while standing at the foot of the Imperial City were not as beautiful as those seen in other courtyards!"
"It's not that everything has to be seen closely to be beautiful!" Meng Shaoqing walked to Meng Duiwan, "It's getting late, we should go back!"
Meng Duiwan nodded. Just as she was about to get on the carriage, she saw someone passing by her from the corner of her eye. She subconsciously looked back and saw Su Xubai passing by her.
But he didn't even look back and just left.
Meng Duiwan felt empty in her heart. She stood there and watched until she saw him walking into the carriage with her own eyes, and then got in the carriage amidst Forsythia's urging.
To say I'm not sad would be a bit false.
When Su Xubai paid careful attention to her, Meng Duiwan would always look at him quietly. She was worried about his wounds, but she had no position to ask, so she could only watch from a distance.
But when she was almost about to be kissed, but he didn't do anything, she still couldn't help but feel a little sad.
