The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 1012 Let's Try

"This servant is still serving by your side, Miss." Baozhu had never thought about the ending between her and her beloved. Now that it was mentioned, she was forced to think about it. After thinking about it, her face was full of sadness.

Meng Shisan noticed Baozhu's sadness: "Actually, if you really want a good outcome with him, then we can find a way, we can make adjustments."

Baozhu nodded and didn't continue.

Baozhu stopped talking, and Meng Shisan didn't want to continue the topic that Baozhu didn't want to continue. She changed the subject back to the matter she was unsure about: "But what if you impulsively say something you shouldn't have?"

"I didn't say anything I shouldn't have." Baozhu thought back carefully and was quite certain that in those few rare encounters, the two of them had very few opportunities to get close, let alone talk.

The snow under Meng Shisan's feet crunched again: "What if?"

"What if?" Baozhu repeated, seriously considering Meng Shisan's question, and after a moment replied, "What's done is done, we can only try to make amends."

"Make amends?" Meng Shisan had never considered this possibility. "How can we make amends?"

Baozhu said, "We will make up for whatever he lacks."

Meng Shisan frowned: "That can't be fixed."

Li Shou wanted her to marry him and become his crown princess, but she was a demon. Although she was currently in human form with a demon soul, she was still a demon in essence.

As a demon, how could she accept human marriage?

This is something that can't be made up for.

"Change it?"

"Then let's settle for second best and get the second one he needs."

Meng Shisan began to seriously consider this.

Baozhu helped to tighten the fox fur cloak on Meng Shisan's body: "Miss, it's cold. Let's get in the carriage and sit inside to go back to the manor."

She could withstand the cold, but her young mistress's constitution couldn't. She was afraid that if her young mistress walked all the way back to Zhanwei Lane, she would catch a chill before even entering the gates of the Meng residence.

Meng Shisan looked up at the sky: "How many bookstores are left to visit today?"

“There are four more,” Baozhu replied. “The owner of this last shop said that if they find the book you want, Miss, they will deliver it to our residence.”

Meng Shisan nodded: "If you really send it, regardless of whether it's the history book I want, give him a few gold beads. Don't let him work for nothing."

The grand entrance Li Shou made today frightened the shop owner so much that he huddled behind the counter, too afraid to move.

This can be considered as compensation.

Baozhu agreed.

"Get in the carriage." Meng Shisan stopped and waited for the Meng family's carriage to approach.

Sitting in the carriage, on the way back to the Meng residence, the master and servant fell silent for a while, each lost in their own thoughts.

After entering Zhanweifang, Meng Shisan suddenly spoke up: "No, we can't just do this half-heartedly."

"What can't be done perfunctorily?" Baozhu asked, puzzled by the seemingly unrelated question.

"I agreed to give it serious consideration, but then I changed my mind. So I tried to just get by and make some compensation... That's not right." Meng Shisan had a feeling he couldn't quite put his finger on.

"Why is it not good?" Baozhu asked.

Meng Shisan described it as: "It's not good for me to break my promise like this."

“It’s bad to break your promise.” Baozhu didn’t know the specifics, but on the surface, she agreed.

“But…” Meng Shisan hesitated, “I’ve cheated before, but I’ve never had such fluctuating emotions.”

I feel a little uncomfortable in my chest.

She felt this wasn't right. She had never felt this way before.

What's wrong with her?
"Miss."

"Ok?"

"Is this person important to you, Miss?"

"……important."

A powerful backer, the strongest backer, how could it not be important?

important.

"Miss is talking about His Highness, isn't she?" Baozhu had already guessed that the only person who could cause her young mistress such trouble was probably His Highness the Crown Prince.

Meng Shisan remained silent.

Baozhu continued, “Why don’t you give it a try, Miss? His Highness must know that the biggest obstacle between you and him is His Majesty, but His Highness has not backed down because of this. Instead, he has been persisting. If you are really wavering and can’t make up your mind, why not go with the flow and follow His Highness’s lead for a while? Perhaps, you will find the answer.”

Meng Shisan looked at Baozhu and remained silent for a long time.

From then on, she looked at Baozhu in a different light.

Later, Li Shou learned that Meng Shisan was able to have a further relationship with him because of Baozhu's words, and from then on he treated Baozhu differently.

This is a later story.

Today, Li Shou went out of the palace incognito. His greatest gain was that Meng Shisan agreed to seriously consider his request. This joy lasted for the next few days, when the sky was clear and the flowers were in bloom.

Under Baozhu's persuasion, Meng Shisan gradually let go of her entanglement and decided to stop resisting. Instead, she took a step forward, looked at the scenery ahead, and tried to walk a path that she had never attempted in her more than a thousand years of life.

On the third day, the shop owner actually went to the Meng residence and delivered several history books to Meng Shisan.

Baozhu came out to get the book, but without looking at what it was, she stuffed the few gold beans she had prepared into the shopkeeper's hand.

The shop owner was caught off guard and paused for a moment, then said, "This is..."

"This is from my young lady. Thank you for helping her find the book," Baozhu said.

The shop owner quickly declined, saying, "No need, no need. I run a bookstore and sell books. Of course, I'll help you find the book you want. Just give me the cost of the book."

As he spoke, he handed the few golden beads back to Baozhu.

Baozhu refused to take it: "If Miss said it's for you, then it's for you. You can keep it. I'll take these history books inside. You go ahead with your work."

After saying this, he turned and entered the mansion gate.

The shopkeeper wanted to return the gold beads, but as soon as he took a step forward, the doorman who had been watching and listening stopped him: "Keep them, keep them. My young lady is beautiful and kind-hearted. There's no reason for her to take back the hard-earned money she gave you."

The shop owner stood there stunned for a moment, then happily accepted the gold beads that the young lady had given him—more than he could earn in a whole year!
She walked away with light steps.

Since the water snake recovered from its serious injury and was sent by Meng Shisan to the East Palace to guard Li Shou, the grass carp in the water tank lost its companion and became listless for a while.

The camellia beside him didn't care, but he felt that without the water snake, the young lady would have more opportunities to use him, which made him secretly happy.

But he didn't expect that the thing the young lady asked him to do was to help her look through a book and find a name called Meng Ying or Meng Shisi.
The reason for the addition of Meng Shisi is that Meng Shisan felt she had not been found, or perhaps historical records about Meng Ying all used Meng Ying's courtesy name.

Rather than her real name.

Shangchun brewed a new pot of tea and brought it into Mingxiao Hall. When she saw the camellias moved inside and placed on the round table next to a book, she was a little surprised, but then she thought there was nothing strange about it.

The young lady can place her potted plants wherever she wants.

As long as the young lady is happy.
