The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 1007: The Beginning

"If I had known my elder brother was waiting for me, I would have come back sooner," Meng Shisan said casually.

Meng Renping snorted and exposed her: "You knew I would go to Shangchun to ask about your whereabouts. You told Shangchun in advance what to tell me. How could you not have expected that I would wait for you? You little girl, you're just trying to make me happy with empty words."

Meng Shisan asked cheerfully, "Did you manage to coax him?"

Meng Renping first sighed, then said in an extremely helpless tone, "We managed to coax him."

Upon entering the second gate, Meng Shisan took the initiative to ask, "Brother, what does His Highness want to say to me this time?"

"Your problem will have to be resolved sooner or later." Meng Renping always came to talk to Meng Shisan about the same thing, and he was somewhat at a loss.

“Actually, it’s easy to solve, as long as Your Highness is willing to give up,” Meng Shisan said.

Meng Renping also said, "In Your Highness's opinion, it's also easy to solve, as long as you nod your head."

Meng Shisan fell silent.

The cousins ​​didn't speak again until they entered Taichen Courtyard.

Inside Mingxiao Hall, Jin Yin was already waiting, while Xiu Yu and Chai Yu were also waiting inside, carrying two small food boxes.

Shang Chun had just come out of the tea room, with a pot of flower tea on her tray. It was made by carefully selecting the remaining fresh plum blossom petals from Jin Yin Yu.

In the two small food boxes, there were six plates of freshly cooked, piping hot food. One of the dishes was a medicinal meal with plum petals added. It was a delicacy that Jin Yin made according to the medicinal meal recipe prescribed by Physician Yu.

Jin Yin had also seriously asked Doctor Yu why he added plum blossom petals.

The young physician Yu replied that it looked good and smelled good.

In short, it's not only visually appealing, but also tastes delicious.

As soon as Meng Shisan stepped onto the stone steps of the veranda, the people inside saw him. Shang Chun greeted him with a smile, while Jin Yin, along with Xiu Yu and Chai Yu, brought out the evening meal and arranged it on the table one plate at a time.

"Has Big Brother eaten yet?" Meng Shisan asked.

Meng Renping glanced at the dishes in the hall and said, "I've already eaten. You can eat now. I'll sit here and chat with you."

Meng Shisan nodded, sat down at the dining table, and picked up his bowl and chopsticks.

Shang Chun poured Meng Renping a cup of flower tea.

Meng Renping took a sip, and the cool fragrance of plum blossoms immediately filled his mouth. He looked at the plum petals in the cup: "Very fragrant."

I noticed that there were also plum blossom petals in the medicinal food on the table, so I asked about it.

Upon hearing that the medicinal diet recipe was written by Yu Minglu, and why seasonal plum blossoms were added, his brows slowly furrowed into a deep frown.

Baozhu noticed this and quietly told Meng Shisan.

Meng Shisan turned and glanced at Meng Renping: "From now on, you don't need to concern yourself with my affairs with His Highness. If anyone asks you to deliver a message or try to find out what's going on with me, just let them come and talk to me directly. Don't always make things difficult for me."

“I’m not in a difficult position, I’m just worried.” Meng Renping felt that his younger sister’s popularity was also a source of great distress. “If you really don’t want to marry His Highness, you don’t need to say things like you don’t plan to get married. You can consider it…”

Young men like Yu Minglu.

That's what I thought in my heart, but I couldn't say it out loud.

"What are you thinking about?" Meng Shisan took the medicinal food that Jin Yin ladled for her and slowly ate it. Her mouth was immediately filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms. It was indeed delicious.

Meng Renping chose to swallow his words and shook his head: "It's nothing."

Meng Shisan stared at Meng Renping for a few breaths. Seeing that her eldest cousin really didn't want to talk about it, she changed the subject and talked about what she had gone out to do that day: "...There are twenty-eight stores in total. I visited half of them today, and I will continue to visit the remaining fourteen stores tomorrow."

"Why are you so determined to find out Meng Ying's identity?" Meng Renping was very curious about this. Based on his current understanding of his eldest cousin, she must have a reason for insisting on this. And that reason was unshakeable.

He was ordered by His Highness to hand over the books containing the official history of the First Emperor to his eldest cousin. When he told her that Meng Ying's name was not next to the First Emperor's name, he asked her why, but she did not answer directly, only saying that she would know in the future.

He would know this later, which made him feel as if it was a long time coming.

Now, he couldn't help but ask again.

Meng Shisan roared down the last bite of his medicinal meal, put down his chopsticks, thought for a while, and then decided that he had to say something this time: "I said, I dreamed about her, do you believe me, brother?"

"You dreamed about her?" Meng Renping didn't quite understand what he meant.

Meng Shisan said solemnly, "Yes, I dreamed about her, and more than once. Whether I will dream about her again in the future is still unknown."

What did you dream about?

"It's pretty miserable."

The fragmented scenes in the dream were numerous and varied. Meng Shisan didn't elaborate, only summarizing them in three words. Meng Renping felt uneasy upon hearing this.

Based on his limited knowledge of Meng Ying's life, if Meng Ying was indeed involved with the First Emperor but was not acknowledged by the First Emperor, or was not recorded by the historians during the First Emperor's reign, then it is highly likely that Meng Ying was just one of the many passersby around the First Emperor.

Given his eldest cousin's intelligence, if he could think of it, she couldn't possibly not.

Even after thinking about it, she still told him the three words "quite tragic," which was enough to show that Meng Ying's matter was not as simple as he had imagined.

Meng Ying was not one of the many beautiful women who had died in the First Emperor's life, but rather had a special identity.

This identity forms the reason why the eldest cousin insisted on tracing back, and it may also be related to the eldest cousin herself.

Of course, this conclusion was not reached by him alone, but by him and His Highness together in the Wenhua Hall.

"Brother, please feel free to speak your mind." Meng Shisan noticed Meng Renping's expression and realized that his eldest cousin was hiding something else.

“Okay.” Meng Renping did not hesitate. As soon as Meng Shisan made the suggestion, he sorted out his thoughts and truthfully gave the conclusion that he and Li Shou had deduced about Meng Ying’s matter.

After the meal, Shangchun poured Meng Shisan a cup of flower tea, and then she, Jinyin, and the other two cleaned up the table. After that, only Baozhu and Gaoyuan remained in the room to serve.

Meng Shisan investigated Meng Shisi because it concerned the truth about her own soul transmigrating into the original owner's body, something she couldn't tell anyone, including all her family and relatives in the Meng family, as well as Li Shou, her biggest backer.

She also felt that if she didn't say anything, no one would guess it was her.

But now, the conclusion that Li Shou and Meng Renping have jointly reached is getting close to her real reason.

This caught her somewhat off guard.

Therefore, she fell silent again.

However, this silence was quite different from the silence when they came in earlier.

"Yaoyao?"

"Yes, it is indeed somewhat related to me personally."

Meng Renping was taken aback by Meng Shisan's straightforward answer and, after a moment of surprise, pressed on, "What's the connection?"

"So far, I've only made some guesses based on certain clues, and I haven't confirmed anything yet." Meng Shisan spoke frankly.

"That……"

"Investigating Meng Ying's identity is just the beginning."
