Chapter 179: The marriage proposal
"Why are you so nice to me today?" Mengbao looked at He Yunxiao suspiciously, as if he had never seen him before.
With a smile on his face, He Yunxiao beat Mengbao's legs very diligently.
"This is not good for you. This is the benefit Mengbao gave me." He Yunxiao smiled, but he kept staining his hands with sesame oil, smearing it on Mengbao's straight and smooth legs, and then pressing it Knead and pat to make the sesame oil more effective.
Meng Qingqian was lying on the bed, wearing moon-white shorts, holding a memorial in her hand, and her face was full of weirdness.
He Yunxiao's perfunctory words could deceive the little girl, but not her.
It is true that my legs are a welfare, but this is not the first time I have seen such a welfare as He Yunxiao. He has touched it and used it. They belong to an old couple. Logically speaking, they would not use sesame oil to ask for benefits.
Even if there is no sesame oil, if he insists on touching it, won’t he be able to touch it?
No matter how much she thought, Meng Qingqian could not figure out He Yunxiao's motives. The only reason that could be explained was that He Yunxiao really "wanted to be good to Mengbao."
This is very strange.
Because He Yunxiao was very nice to her on weekdays.
Now that he was even more courteous to her, Meng Qingqian always felt that He Yunxiao was going to do something to displease her.
However, what could He Yunxiao do to disgrace himself?
Meng Qingqian couldn't figure it out.
"Did you do something wrong?"
"No." He Yunxiao looked innocent. In fact, it is not innocent.
Yesterday at the celebration party, He Yuanhao and Fan Changshu agreed to choose a day to visit with the betrothal gift.
The so-called choosing a day means that if you carefully calculate it, it will be tomorrow. When news of the He family's engagement comes out tomorrow, Mengbao is designated to be the first to explode. He Yunxiao felt bad and wanted to discuss postponement with his father, but He Yuanhao didn't listen to him at all.
He Yunxiao had no choice, so he simply ignored Feibao and Chu Chu and went directly to the palace to accompany Mengbao. I thought I could save a little bit. Although Mengbao could not avoid being angry, he still had to work hard. The posture when being spanked should be correct.
"No? Then you heard something." Meng Qing said with a slight smile.
"What's the rumor?"
"You have to participate in the Qi Yan peace talks," Meng Bao said.
"Ah? What did I do? Why do you want me to participate?" He Yunxiao asked in shock.
He Yunxiao came here specifically to show his courtesy and did not intend to inquire about the inside story of the imperial court. However, the news of the business trip was indeed unexpected by He Yunxiao.
Mengbao did not answer, but said: "Not only you, but also the military figures, there will also be the Southwest King, Ling King, Fan Ziruo and others."
Although Meng Bao didn't like Fan Ziruo, as a wise king, she still recognized Fan Ziruo's ability. If Fan Ziruo is really rejected because of his relationship with He Yunxiao, wouldn't that make He Yunxiao a person who "brings disaster to the country and the people"?
One code must be treated as one code, family affairs must be family affairs, and national affairs must be national affairs.
"The King of Southwest is going to negotiate peace? Can the negotiation be successful?" He Yunxiao asked.
The Southwest King is well known as the main fighting faction. If it were not for the "flooding Luoyue Pass Plan", many soldiers would have died in and around Luoyue Pass at this time.
Meng Qing was more serious when talking about government affairs. The majesty between his brows appeared and disappeared, and he said: "If the soldiers are allowed to participate in the peace negotiation, the Southwest King has to go. He is not only a representative of the army, but also a prince who represents the Meng family." Facade. Except for him, including the civil servants, the rest of the peace negotiators are from the peace faction. If you can’t negotiate, then don’t negotiate.”
He Yunxiao was naturally a peacemaker. When he saw that the eldest princess's tone was about to change, he immediately said: "No, we can talk, we can talk. Mengbao gives us a chance." At the same time, he did not forget to put pressure on Her Highness the eldest princess.
"You, please stay away from me... there is something on the bed... stop making trouble... be gentle... um..."
…
At noon the next day, Meng Qingqian slowly woke up from bed.
She opened her eyes and looked at the neat bedding and well-arranged clothes, and couldn't help but curl her lips.
Although the house was still in a mess before she fell asleep, every time she woke up, the messy bed would always be neat. Everything in the house is tidied up, even her memorials are arranged in categories.
He Yunxiao never let her do anything, and really held her like a baby. This was one of the reasons why once Meng Qingqian fell into He Yunxiao's feelings, she could never get out.
As the empress of Da Qi who is in a high position, what else can she not be satisfied with if she can receive such sincere feelings?
"shadow."
Meng Qingqian called out.
"The shadow is here, please give me the boss' instructions."
A woman wrapped in black cloth suddenly appeared in the house.
And even Jian Ling, who was in the master realm outside the house, was not aware of her appearance.
Except for He Yunxiao, the only people who could make Jian Ling enter the palace "without being aware of it" were Grand Master Realm warriors.
"Today's news."
After speaking, Her Royal Highness the Princess stood up from the bed and stretched out comfortably. The fabric of her white underwear tightened with her movements, and her curvy figure was fully displayed in the noon sun. She walked to the clothes rack and put on her clothes, but she did not forget to listen to Shadow report to her the news that deserved the attention of the eldest princess today.
"The Minister of War, Wei Taichuan, held a banquet for various generals. After the Yan State envoy came to Beijing, he went around to meet with officials from the DPRK and China..."
Shadow said one by one, Meng Qingqian listened to each. If you meet someone who is interested, you will interrupt her and ask her to explain in detail.
Shadow said expressionlessly: "He Yuanhao went to Fan Mansion to propose marriage."
Meng Qingqian:? ? ?
"Can you say that again."
"He Yuanhao went to the Fan Mansion to propose marriage. More than a dozen carriages brought about 20,000 taels of betrothal gifts. He left at 7:00, but did not return at 9:00. He probably stayed at the Fan Mansion for dinner."
Meng Qingqian was stunned on the spot, as if petrified.
20,000 taels of betrothal gifts were indeed enough for ordinary people, which only showed that the He Mansion attached great importance to this proposal and recognized the girl from the Fan family. And staying at the mansion for dinner meant that the two sides had a good conversation and the matter was settled.
How could this be...
Meng Qingqian suddenly remembered the scene of He Yunxiao showing great courtesy to her last night.
She was so angry that she gnashed her teeth.
"Little bastard! I was wondering why he suddenly treated me so well, but it turned out to be a secret plan!"
The engagement can be a big deal or a small deal. To put it in a big way, the girl from the Fan family will be the "formal wife married in a formal way". To put it simply, the eldest princess is so arrogant that no matter who you are, the princess will always put you down. Whether a young wife is strong at home or not still depends on the strength of her family.
However, even so, Meng Qingqian still felt very uncomfortable. She felt like she was deceived by He Yunxiao, the bastard. Although she had hidden more things from He Yunxiao. For example, the identity of the eldest princess, and the existence of the shadow, etc.
But Meng Bao couldn't stand hearing this.
This was He Yunxiao, the bastard, playing with her feelings. He sweet-talked her in the palace, and pampered other women outside.
No matter what, she was very angry. M.
Meng Qingqian waved her hand to make the shadow disappear, and then shouted to the outside of the door:
"Jian Ling, move, go to the Orchid Investment Development Bank."
