The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 540 She Doesn’t Want

Meng Shisan: “???”

What does the rain have to do with whether he will come?

Li Shou looked at Meng Shisan's cute little face with a puzzled look, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "It's raining, the road is slippery, it's not easy to go down the mountain, I'm worried about you spending the night alone in the mountain."

"Oh." Meng Shisan understood, raised his head slightly, looked directly at Li Shou and said frankly, "But I didn't plan to spend the night on the mountain. It's raining lightly now, and I'm thinking about how to get down the mountain. If Your Highness hadn't come, I might have already walked down the stone steps."

Li Shou understood: "You mean, I came at the wrong time? I wasted your time to go down the mountain?"

"Yeah." Meng Shisan nodded very honestly.

Chang Qing: Only Miss Meng can make His Highness so tolerant. If anyone else dares to speak like this, huh!
Baozhu: Only the young lady would dare to speak to His Highness in this way. Although I am used to it, I still break into a cold sweat for her every time I hear it.

Chang'an looked as if it was a matter of course, not thinking about anything else in his mind.

Li Shou pursed his lips and said, "Then I will go?"

Meng Shisan thought for a moment and said, "How about we go together?"

Before he could say anything, she asked again, "How did Your Highness get up the mountain? Did you walk up? Or did you ride in a sedan chair?"

"I walked up." This was Li Shoufei's first time to Qingbei Mountain. From the first time he went up the mountain, he always walked up one stone step at a time, and never took a sedan chair to go up the mountain.

Meng Shisan gave a thumbs up upon hearing this: "Your Highness is amazing."

Li Shou raised his eyebrow: "Why do I feel that Yaoyao's praise of me is not sincere?"

"Haha." Meng Shisan laughed perfunctorily. "Your Highness has misunderstood. Your Highness is really amazing. I was just thinking that if we were to go together, I would ride in a sedan chair while Your Highness would have to walk down the mountain. I would feel a little embarrassed."

Li Shou listened to Meng Shisan saying she was embarrassed. Somehow, he looked at her, who didn't look embarrassed, but said embarrassed words. He suddenly asked, "Yaoyao, what do you want to do?"

This question is asked without any context and is quite abrupt.

However, Meng Shisan understood what he really wanted to ask in an instant. She did not answer immediately, but asked back: "Your Highness, Your Highness asked me to meet Qiao Qiancheng for a secret talk at night, but did not inform my eldest cousin and Master Ji. Why is that?"

Li Shou knew that the question he asked was abrupt. After asking, he thought that Meng Shisan might not answer, and even if she did, she would not answer it happily. Therefore, he guessed that she would think about how to answer, or think about how to perfunctorily answer him if she didn't answer. However, he didn't expect that she didn't even think about it, and asked him another question very quickly.

He asked her a question, and she asked him a question in return, both questions were equally sharp.

He did not think about it, nor did he perfunctorily answer, but said bluntly: "The king is always the king, and the minister is always the minister. There is a difference between the king and the minister."

Meng Shisan was stunned.

Chang Qing felt that he, Baozhu and Chang'an, the three of them present, should cover their ears immediately, because they did not hear what His Highness Quan Quanfang said!

So he turned to Baozhu Chang'an.

However, Baozhu and Chang'an didn't want to pay attention to him. They both stared at the toes of their shoes, expressionless and unmoved, as if they didn't hear anything unusual.

He got it.

So he turned back again.

Meng Shisan silently sat back on the couch beside the window sill. She needed to think about it and sort it out carefully.

Li Shou didn't say anything else, but just sat down on the other end of the couch beside the window sill, opposite Meng Shisan.

She was a little dazed, but he was not in a hurry.

He waited until she came back to her senses. After a while, Meng Shisan hesitated and murmured, "Your Highness... Yaoyao is also a minister."

Li Shou sat up straight, with a few wet hairs scattered on his forehead. He looked at his wet deer boots from walking all the way up, and said firmly: "I want you to be the king, and you are the king."

"Then..." Meng Shisan hesitated whether he should continue to speak frankly.

Li Shou raised his eyes and looked at Meng Shisan: "What?"

Meng Shisan mustered up his courage and stopped hesitating: "What if I don't want to be a king?"

Chang Qing's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

Baozhu's heart also started beating like a drum. She was worried that if the young lady's frankness made His Highness furious, the young lady would definitely suffer.

Chang'an glanced at Li Shou again. She had no idea that the mortal prince had already developed improper thoughts towards his master.

Finally, they rested in the guest room of the Zhishang Taoist Temple on Qingbei Mountain.

Wait overnight and go down the mountain tomorrow morning.

Meng Shisan was still in the original guest room, and Li Shou was arranged to stay in the next guest room at the beginning of the month.

Li Shou left the palace incognito. He was dressed in brocade and rich clothes, and his noble appearance was enough to make people dare not look directly at him. However, he was after all at the feet of the emperor. The Taoist nuns in the Taoist temple had seen many nobles. Also, because the temple master Nian Ying had a high status, the nuns did not flatter the nobles in the capital at all.

On the first day of the first month, when he heard that Li Shou was looking for Meng Shisan and that they were friends, he arranged a guest room nearby without asking any questions and never doubted Li Shou's identity.

After having a vegetarian dinner in the Taoist temple, Meng Shisan and Li Shou still took care of themselves. They each sat in their own guest room, drinking the Taoist temple's tea with tea bowls in hand.

Baozhu watched and sighed in her heart.

Chang'an, however, didn't take it seriously. He always stayed quietly beside Meng Shisan, and did whatever Meng Shisan asked him to do without being affected at all.

Baozhu admired him so much that when Chang'an was about to go to the kitchen of the Taoist temple to find some snacks for Meng Shisan to have with his tea, she followed Chang'an to the kitchen.

Chang'an originally thought that someone should stay with Meng Shisan, and that both of them could not go to the kitchen, but Baozhu insisted on pulling her and quickly walked out of the guest room.

Chang'an looked back and saw Meng Shisan raised his eyelids and looked at them, then nodded, and lowered his eyes again, no longer looking at them.

She then said nothing more.

The master had agreed, so there was no reason for her to disagree.

As soon as they left, Chang Qing heard some noise in the next room. He gently opened the door and looked out. Seeing that they were heading towards the kitchen, he retracted his head and walked in as the door was not closed tightly.

"Your Highness, Baozhu and Chang'an are both out." He hinted.

Li Shou received the hint, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and looked out the window. On the pitch-dark mountain, there seemed to be a ferocious beast that was ready to swallow him up in one gulp.

His joy for her, in her eyes, might be like this scene, like a terrifying beast.

He never thought that she would refuse, and refuse so straightforwardly.

He just thought that she might hesitate, or say that she still had to consult the elders in her family, or she might use her own illness as an excuse.

But, she didn't have any.

She spoke directly what she really thought - she didn't want to.

Why doesn't she... want to?
