The weak princess is super fierce

The two officers guarding the city looked at the 100 taels of silver ingots in their hands, and they both laughed so hard that they couldn't see their eyes.

"It's so generous. If we come here a few times a month, we still have to worry about having no wine or meat to eat!"

"Such a noble person only comes once every few months, so don't be too greedy..."

"Could it be that you don't want to?"

"I do, but I'm more afraid of something happening..."

"……makes sense."

When Xi Yanwen arrived at Qingbei Academy and saw Xi Kuangjing, it was already dotted with stars and the moonlight covered the red bricks outside the academy gate.

"Sister, why are you here?" Xi Kuangjing was very surprised that Xi Yanwen came to the academy to look for him. When they were in the same house, the eldest sister rarely came to see him. "And it's so late. Could it be that the house What happened again?"

Xi Yanwen shook her head: "The house is very good. Jing, this is not a place to talk. Do you think there is a place to stay for a night?"

"Sister, come with me." Xi Kuangjing naturally knew that he couldn't stand outside the academy gate and talk. He just saw the eldest sister coming at a strange time and thought something was going on in the house again. Fang asked anxiously and found out that nothing happened. That was We have to take the eldest sister to where we will stay tonight.

You can't enter Qingbei Academy, but you can stay at the Jinbang Inn on the right side of the academy.

The inn is five rooms wide and has two floors. The downstairs is for eating and drinking, and the upstairs is for lodging. Because it is adjacent to the academy, it is also specially designed for the families of the academy, so it is full of bookish atmosphere and very elegant.

Xi Yanchuan had never come to see Xi Kuangjing before. She had only heard that there was such a good inn next to the academy. Unexpectedly, she would actually stay in it today.

Hong Zao went straight to the guest room upstairs. Fang breathed a sigh of relief and finally felt truly relieved.

Xi Kuangjing checked the eldest sister in at the counter, and then told the waiter Youzhi: "The chef in the inn doesn't know my sister's preferences and taboos. Fang Jiang and the waiter left in a hurry. I won't have time to explain them in the future." Now go to the kitchen and tell me what I like to eat and what I can’t eat, and ask the kitchen lady to boil hot water and wait until I finish talking to my sister so that she can take a bath and rest."

"The slave has to go quickly. The waiter has been in the kitchen for a while!" Youzhi was afraid that he would be late in the kitchen because the evening meal for Xi Yanjuan had already been served.

Xi Kuangjing watched Youzhi run to the back kitchen of the inn. He turned around and went upstairs to the guest room on the second floor.

"A Jing, come and sit down. Sister A has something to ask you." Xi Yanchuan had been sitting at the round table waiting for him.

Xi Kuangjing walked to the round stool opposite Xi Yanchuan and wanted to sit down, but she stopped him again: "Sit next to Sister."

He paused and did as he was told.

Xi Yanwen looked at Xi Kuangjing sitting next to her: "Jing, when you went to the Meng Mansion to ask Miss Meng to save me, did you promise Miss Meng something?" "Why do you ask me?" Xi Kuangjing said at the gate of the academy. From the moment he saw Xi Yanhua outside, after the surprise, he began to think about why his eldest sister, who never took the initiative to look for him, would come to the academy to find him. Therefore, when Xi Yanhua asked this question, there was no expression on his face. No expression of surprise, just asked calmly.

"You also know what I did to Miss Meng in court. However, even though I was so sorry for her, she still defended me in court and saved my life." Xi Yanjuan said what was in her heart. Son, "Later I walked out of the capital office safely. I wanted to thank Miss Meng for saving my life, but she said there was no need to thank her. When I asked why, she said let me ask you."

Xi Kuangjing originally guessed that it was rare for the eldest sister to be serious and smart. Without him having to say anything, he could figure out that Meng Xiao was able to ignore the eldest sister's stab in the back and continue to reach out to save the eldest sister. There must be other reasons, but he did not expect that he There was no time to be happy that the eldest sister's experience made a difference, but she was told that it was Miss Meng who spoke frankly. Fang Ling eldest sister couldn't even wait for him to return home after a long break, so she went out to the city all night to find him and ask him face to face.

He said: "Sister, I must have learned from my mother that before I returned to the academy, I went to the Meng Mansion to kneel down and thank Miss Meng."

Xi Yanwen nodded: "My mother, I and my father have all told us."

"Previously, my sister was summoned to the court, and Mrs. Qiao insisted that it was my sister who forced Miss Qiao to death. This happened before. My mother only cried, and my father was running around outside. You are my sister, so naturally I It is impossible to just sit back and watch, so through Renkang...the fourth young master of the Meng Mansion entered the Meng Mansion and met Miss Meng." Xi Kuangjing spoke carefully and frankly, "Just like me kneeling down to thank Miss Meng for saving me. Just like my sister, when I saw Miss Meng, I knelt down to her and begged her to save my sister’s life.”

"So...she agreed?" Xi Yanchuan unconsciously looked at Xi Kuangjing's knees, tears quickly gathering in her eyes.

Xi Kuangjing chuckled: "Then Miss Meng reminded me that there is gold under the man's knees."

Tears fell from Xi Yanhua's eyes: "She is right..."

"Of course Miss Meng is right." Xi Kuangjing stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears shed for him on the eldest sister's face, "But no amount of gold is as precious as my sister."

"A Jing, it's my sister who can't help you!" Xi Yanwen's voice choked with sobs, "You have been the pride of your parents since you were a child. You were admitted to Qingbei Academy based on your true talents. You never asked for help. , and I have never knelt down to anyone other than my parents and teachers in heaven and earth, but this time because of my stupidity, you have to kneel down and beg Miss Meng..."

"Sister, Miss Meng is a very good person." It is impossible for Xi Kuangjing to say that besides begging for help, he also promised Meng Shisan that from now on, he will take Meng Shisan as his leader. But what he said Every word is true.

It's just hiding the most important part.

"I didn't expect that she would be so soft-hearted..." Xi Yancheng thought that the incident at Bixu Manor had nothing to do with Meng Shisan, but Meng Shisan still stood up and spoke justice for them. It can be seen that Meng Shisan Even though Sanzheng has a bad temper and hurts people a lot when she attacks, she is really a kind-hearted lady. "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay her for saving her this time."

"Yes." Xi Kuangjing said no more. It is right for the eldest sister to repay her kindness to Miss Meng. Maybe because of repaying her kindness, the eldest sister can get closer to Miss Meng, and the eldest sister can learn from Miss Meng. It will be of great benefit to the eldest sister in the future if she has some advantages.

The food was served quickly. Hong Zao and Youzhi helped set the dishes and chopsticks. Xi Kuangjing asked Hong Zao to eat by himself, as long as Youzhi, who had eaten earlier, was there to watch over him.

Xi Yanhua has no objection.

She took a few mouthfuls of rice, took a sip of the soup that Xi Kuangjing spooned for her, and remembered something: "Is the fourth son of the Meng family you just mentioned the half-brother of Miss Meng?"

"Yes, Renkang said that he and his sister are not very close." Xi Kuangjing had already had evening food and had no habit of eating late night snacks. Now he was sitting at the table with her.
