Chapter 549 A Fateful Encounter

Lu Zhiwei's figure was completely hidden in the hood, not a single bit of skin was exposed.

Although it is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the autumn tiger is still fierce. Li Meier and Sun Xiaowu both wore thin long-sleeved summer shirts today. Vaguely see the appearance.Otherwise, the two of them would not be able to recognize each other at a glance.

However, Lu Zhiwei wrapped herself up tightly. The cotton cloth of the veil was made of several layers, and even if there was a strong wind, it might not be blown away. This shows how much she doesn't want outsiders to see her appearance at this time .

"Auntie, there's no need, I'll go up with you." Lu Zhiwei was silent for a long time before slowly opening her mouth. Her voice was a little hoarse, not as clear and pleasant as before.

Mrs. Xie sighed inaudibly, and didn't force her, but let the maid beside her carefully support her, and then went to talk to Mrs. Li again.

Introduced by Mrs. Li, Mrs. Xie got to know Zhou Hanju and Li Yuanchun.The few people are all transparent, and they chatted very speculatively for a while.

Xie's attention was all on the Li family and the Zhou family, so he didn't pay attention. Lu Zhiwei slightly surveyed his head. It seemed that he had been staring at the place where Li Meier and Sun Xiaowu disappeared, and that was tucked into his wide sleeves. His hand slowly clenched into a fist.

Li Meier and Sun Xiaowu had already reached the mountainside, and Sun Xiaowu saw that there were no outsiders nearby, so he complained to Li Meier, "Sister Mei, you don't know, these days my mother has kept me in the yard to study. Rules, embroidering wedding gowns, learning the rules is fine, you say it’s just a daughter like me, how can anyone embroider wedding gowns by themselves, don’t they all embroider by the best embroiderers, and my three-legged cat With advanced embroidery skills, I don’t even have the face to wear the embroidered wedding dress myself.”

Li Meier didn't expect that Sun Xiaowu had such a clear understanding of herself, and she wanted to laugh, but knowing that if she really laughed, Sun Xiaowu would definitely beat her, so she could only suppress her smile, and persuaded with an unnatural expression: "Madam's intention is probably not to really want you to embroider the wedding dress, but just to grind your temper. After all, you are young and too temperamental, but the seat you want to sit in the future needs to be dignified, Madam It is to pave the way for you in the future, so I am strict with you now."

Sun Xiaowu naturally knew her mother's good intentions, but she just couldn't stand being detained like this, and sighed: "Oh~~ Why do you think brother Qi is the prince, if he is the son of an ordinary official family, then I Now you don't have to work so hard."

Sun Xiaowu had no intention of speaking, but Li Meier listened with intention.She suddenly thought that if Brother Shanqing hadn't been framed by the queen to leave the palace, he would also be the prince now. With his intelligence and excellence, maybe the old emperor would not make the current prince the prince. , even if her father also passed the Jinshi examination and became an official in the Imperial Academy, it is impossible for her to be chosen as her wife.

At this moment, Li Meier suddenly didn't hate Empress Song so much. After all, if it wasn't for her, she and Brother Shanqing would never have any intersection in this life.

"Sister Mei, sister Mei, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Li Meier was silent, Sun Xiaowu asked with a wave.

Li Meier was so distracted that she didn't pay attention to what Sun Xiaowu said just now, she smiled apologetically with her, "I just lost my mind, what did you ask?"

"I asked you if you met Song Ziying when you entered the palace a few days ago, didn't she make things difficult for you?" Sun Xiaowu was obviously worried about Li Meier these few days, and asked with wide eyes.

Li Meier smiled, and replied: "Don't worry, I haven't seen her at all, and I also know that she has a grudge against me, so I will definitely avoid her."

Sun Xiaowu patted his chest when he heard the words, and looked relieved, "That's good, she is a concubine now, and we don't want to offend her. When I enter the palace, I won't be afraid of her!" Sun Xiaowu As always, he hated Song Ziying, and thought about how he would target her when he entered the palace.

Li Meier was speechless, and could only persuade: "Although she is only a concubine now, but with her family background, it will be a matter of time before she becomes a concubine, and she will be considered your concubine at that time, and she is the empress's niece, that is. For the queen's sake, you don't want to be too confrontational with her."

Sun Xiaowu naturally knew this too, but he just felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he pouted and said, "Then if she takes the initiative to trouble me, I won't fight back."

"Of course not." Li Meier didn't want Sun Xiaowu to make buns, and immediately denied it, "Anyway, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others. If people offend me, they will die forever. Anyway, everyone knows that you don't get along. It’s just the fig leaf on the face, it’s better not to tear it or not.”

Sun Xiaowu immediately covered his mouth and said, "Sister Mei, I just like how cruel you are. If there is a chance, the two of us will join forces to pit Song Ziying together like last time."

Li Meier looked at her and couldn't help laughing, but under that smile, there was a faint worry that Sun Xiaowu was so close to her now, and almost regarded her as her own sister, but if that day, Shan Brother Qing's identity is known by the crown prince, can they still get along like they do now?

Li Meier couldn't help but sighed in her heart, she only hoped that such a day would never come.

The two chatted and laughed, and quickly climbed to the top of the mountain. It was still early, and there were not many pilgrims at the gate of Tan Tuo Temple, but some stalls selling small gadgets and snacks had already been set up.

Tantuo Temple is the largest temple in the capital, and there are only a lot of shops and stalls around it. There is also a temple fair on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, which is very lively.

It's been a long time since Sun Xiaowu went shopping. He even visited several small stalls, bought some cheap gadgets, and bought a few bunches of candied haws. Well, there is a temple fair here, and there will be more food and entertainment. I remember when I was young, the third brother took me to the temple fair several times. Every time there were many people, the third brother always let me I rode on his neck, lest I get lost..."

Sun Xiaowu was recalling Zhenghuan, and suddenly thought of something, and smiled apologetically at Li Meier: "Oh, I said again that there is nothing left, and you certainly don't like to hear it, let's go to the front, I saw the front There are fried cakes."

Li Meier just smiled and didn't answer. After she accompanied Sun Xiaowu to buy fried cakes, she still couldn't help asking, "The marriage between your third brother and your cousin is settled?"

Sun Xiaowu obviously did not expect that Li Meier would take the initiative to ask, with a sad expression on his face, and the fried cake in his hand suddenly became stale, so he sighed and said something slowly.
