Hongde Longqiu raised his eyebrows, "Then when you faced me, did you wear a mask?"
Meng Xinzhu suddenly laughed, "What do you think? As early as when I decided to come back by the river bank, you should have known that I was destined to face you with a mask, because you threatened me and activated the self-protection system. I said that people are here
I wear a mask when I’m afraid of getting hurt.”
"Then will you take off your mask to Hongde Longqiu?"
"If he were an ordinary man, I might, but he is destined not to be ordinary, and he is destined to become one of the bearers of the mask. For such a person, taking off the mask is obviously not a wise move."
"At least you are honest and tell me that you are wearing a mask."
Meng Xinzhu stood up and clapped her hands, "I'm going back and tell you my experience. If there are no other people, remember to take off the mask frequently and let your face see the sun. Otherwise, if you wear the mask for a long time, your face will lose color.
"
Hongde Longqiu grabbed Meng Xinzhu who was about to leave and held her in his arms, "Don't move, just for a moment, let me hold her for a while!"
Meng Xinzhu felt the pressure brought by the gradually tightening arms. She did not struggle, but quietly leaned on a man's arms.
"Xinzhu, do you know how much I miss you these past few days? I really want to hold you like this, melt you into my body, and you can be seen and felt at any time." Hongde Longqiu
He continued to increase the strength of his arm, "How could you bear to ground me for three months? How could you bear to torture me like this?"
"Long Qiu, you are an emperor, there is nothing you can't get, but for you, I am just a desire that you can't get, so it hurts your self-esteem and arouses your desire to conquer. But a successful emperor is
You will not indulge your own mind. For the emperor who pursues success, rational restraint is not a chain, but a strong body armor. Although wearing it is somewhat cumbersome, it can protect you from unexpected harm.
.Long Qiu, I believe you also hope, I believe you also have the ability to be a successful emperor!"
Hongde Longqiu relaxed his arms and looked at her, her eyes were clear and bright, "I promise you that I will become a successful emperor and an emperor that makes you proud."
The morning ended very early that day. Hongde Longqiu had already spent the first month of confinement with difficulty. He looked at the clear sky and took a deep breath, "Xiao Zhao, have you done what you said yesterday?
"
"Back to the emperor, everything is ready."
Hongde Longqiu nodded and got up to go to Bamboo Garden.
After watching Meng Xinzhu finish Tai Chi while leaning against the pillars of the room, he smiled and said, "Have you finished cutting the watermelon?"
"Huh? Didn't you go to court?"
"I have already gone to court. I said that I want to be a successful emperor, so how can I neglect my government?"
Meng Xinzhu smiled and nodded, "You have the aura of a successful emperor!"
Hongde Longqiu smiled and said, "Change your clothes and let's leave the palace."
"Leaving the palace?"
"Yes, your uncle and godfather and your aunt and godmother are waiting outside the palace."
As soon as they arrived at Prince Kang's Mansion, Meng Xinzhu was pulled aside by the Nine Emperors Uncle and his wife. The two happily talked about how they had completed another formation solution, how many steps they had taken, who could finish it faster than the other, etc.
In response to this, Hongde and Longqiu could only shake their heads speechlessly. The couple also said this in the palace, and when they left the palace, they said, "Uncle, it's rare for Concubine Zhu to leave the palace, so stop talking about Huarong Road and let her go out and do well."
Let’s relax.”
"Yes, yes, my daughter, the princess, where do you want to go?"
Meng Xinzhu tapped her lips with her fingers and was thinking.
Hongde Longqiu said, "Why don't you go to that old man at the noodle stall that you are quite familiar with and just take a look at how many posts he has collected."
The alley was still the same, and there was only one man in black eating noodles at the noodle stall.
"Old man, here are five bowls of noodle soup!"
The noodle stall owner responded, but was stunned again, pointing at Meng Xinzhu, "You... you don't..."
"Old man, how is business going these days?"
"Sir, it's you!" The old man finally recognized her, "You sit down for a while and I'll notify them."
"Hey, wait, who do you want to notify?"
"Aren't they the same people who were looking for the young master before? They said that if the young master comes again, they should go to the teahouse next to them and tell them."
"Don't..." Meng Xinzhu hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch him, but Xiao Zhao had already stopped the old man, "Old man, don't be busy with this now. We are all hungry, so let's go down and eat first."
Hongde Longqiu held his hands and looked at Meng Xinzhu with an expression on his face that said, "It depends on what you do."
The hot noodle soup was brought to the table, and no one except Meng Xinzhu did anything. Meng Xinzhu asked the old man for some more chopped green onions and mixed it happily. Seeing her so happy, the tenth princess also took a look at the noodle soup in front of her.
"Little Bamboo," this is the name agreed upon before, but it sounds a bit like the eunuch's name. "Is it delicious?"
"Yes," Meng Xinzhu nodded, "Although this thing is not exquisitely made, it is simple and unpretentious. The simple method can best highlight the original flavor of the food. When you taste it carefully, you will find the real taste of ordinary people."
"You little devil, there is so much truth in eating noodles."
"Haha, you all call me a ghost," Meng Xinzhu finally took the first bite of noodles, "Of course there are many truths..., cough cough cough!"
Hongde Longqiu frowned and patted Meng Xinzhu on the back. What happened to this woman that she could choke on the noodle soup twice? "Although it is delicious, it seems that the food here is not suitable for you to eat."
Meng Xinzhu just waved her hands, but buried her entire body under the dining table.
"What's wrong?" Hong Delongqiu noticed something was wrong with her. He leaned down to look at her, but saw her put her index finger to her mouth, signaling him to be silent. He was confused when he heard someone speaking beside him.
"Uncle Hu, has the young master arrived recently?"
The noodle stall owner turned to look at Meng Xinzhu, who was squatting under the table. She was waving her hand to him to stop talking, but the old man still pointed to where she was, "Isn't this coming?"
Meng Xinzhu couldn't help lowering her head, her eyebrows knitted into a big knot on her face, and she cursed in her heart: Why is there such a white-eyed person, even though I've clearly told him to stop talking, he still said it!
The person who came was none other than Lin, who asked Meng Xinzhu for advice that day.
"Oh, sir, I've waited for you!"
She could no longer squat or hide. Meng Xinzhu had no choice but to stand up and smiled at the visitor, "Yeah, long time no see, long time no see!" She looked at Hongde Longqiu, "Ah.
