The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 642: Conditions

The next morning, Baozhu was about to ask Meng Shisan whether he wanted to go out of the city to Bixu Manor after noon today, when Xiuyu ran into Mingxiaotang.

Meng Shisan raised his eyes: "What's wrong? Why are you running so fast?"

"Miss! My cousin asked Xiang Lie to ask if you would like to join the fishing competition on Canghong Lake in Bixu Manor in the afternoon?" Xiu Yu was in a hurry because she was urged by Xiang Lie. Considering that her cousin had been very good to her, she became a little anxious as well.

"Cousin Zeng? Is he going?" Meng Shisan asked.

Xiu Yu replied, "I have asked, and Xiang Lin secretly told me that if the young lady goes, then the cousin will also go, and if the young lady does not go, the cousin will be busy with official business."

"Since we have official business, we should give priority to it." Meng Shisan could tell that Zeng Chongqi meant that he didn't want to participate in any fishing competition, but if she went, he would go with her.

As for why he wanted to follow her, it was probably because he was afraid that if she went to Bixu Manor alone, she would meet an unreasonable woman like last time and get into trouble that had nothing to do with her, so he wanted to follow her to protect her.

"Should I go back to Xiang Lie in this way?" Xiu Yu asked tentatively.

Meng Shisan thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Well, you go and tell Xiang Lie, I'll go. I'll set off after lunch."

"Yes." Xiu Yu ran out again in a hurry.

When Shangchun met him in the corridor outside the hall, he couldn't help but say, "Why are you running? Just walk!"

"Yes, Aunt Shangchun!" Xiu Yu didn't dare to run anymore, and instead walked quickly with big strides.

When Meng Shisan heard Shangchun scolding Xiuyu outside the hall, he curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled. Fortunately, these girls were under the supervision of Shangchun, otherwise, sooner or later they would become like monkeys climbing trees.

Shangchun stepped into Mingxiao Hall and saw the smile on Meng Shisan's face. She knew that the smile was because the young lady heard her scolding people again. She couldn't help but put the freshly brewed tea on the table and whispered, "The young lady is too indulgent to them."

"They are all pretty young girls. I can indulge them if I want to. But when they get married, I won't be able to indulge them even if I want to." Meng Shisan said with a smile on his face.

Shangchun thought that she had already combed her hair by herself and would never marry again in this life, so she glanced at Baozhu who was standing beside her, and after two breaths, she turned back and sighed softly, "Miss is right."

Baozhu knew that Shangchun had glanced at her, but she didn't know why she glanced at her when she was clearly talking about Xiuyu. However, she also wanted to say, "Don't worry, Aunt Shangchun, when the young lady gets married, I will also go to the mansion with the dowry!"

She had already agreed on this with Jin Yin a long time ago.

Shangchun smiled when he heard that: "You are so smart."

When Meng Shisan heard that Baozhu wanted to accompany her to marry her husband's family, she couldn't help but look at Baozhu: "What if I don't marry?"

"Then I will follow you, young lady!" Baozhu replied without hesitation, "Wherever young lady is, I and the gold and silver will be there!"

Meng Shisan thought for a moment and said, "What if I run away to a cave temple and live there, with a green lamp by my side, will you follow me?"

Baozhu was stunned for a moment: "Why does Miss always keep Qingdeng by her side?"

Shangchun's smile suddenly disappeared from his face: "Why do you have such an idea, young lady?"

"What? I've said before that I don't want to marry into the Eastern Palace, and you didn't react much. Even if I say now that I don't want to get married, you didn't react like this. Why do you react so strongly when I say that I want to stay with you forever?" Meng Shisan was describing only her days in the Jinling Ancestor Cave Temple over the past thousand years.

To her, it was nothing unusual. But to Baozhu and Shangchun, they seemed to be frightened by her.

Why is this?

Baozhu said anxiously: "Miss has said these things before, but she never said she wanted to become a nun."

"No shaving." Meng Shisan corrected.

Shangchun said: "Practicing Buddhism with hair untied is also practicing Buddhism. Why do you suddenly want to leave the world and become a nun?"

"You misunderstood." It was obvious that what Meng Shisan wanted to express was very different from what they understood. She sorted it out and said again, "I mean... if I insist on not marrying into the Eastern Palace, choose to stay away from right and wrong, stay away from the capital, go to a quiet place, and live my own life, do you want to follow me?"

Baozhu thought quickly for a while, and then answered confidently: "I will follow! Gold and silver will follow too!"

She and Jinyin didn't want to be separated, and they and the young lady didn't want to be separated even more.

Shangchun thought further and further: "Miss, do you think that it is too difficult or even impossible to insist on not marrying into the East Palace and becoming the Crown Princess?"

Meng Shisan looked at Shangchun with appreciation: "Of all the people around me, you are the smartest."

Baozhu, who was not very smart, did not feel sad about this, but heard other things from the conversation between Meng Shisan and Shangchun: "Has His Highness decided to marry Miss as the Crown Princess?"

"I think what my eldest brother said is true." When Meng Shisan was talking to Meng Renping, Baozhu soon stood outside, and Shangchun was not by her side most of the time.

And some things should not be heard by too many people, even if they are hers.

But because they were hers and she trusted them, she was willing to tell them the truth now.

She thought that for some things, some preparation was better than no preparation at all.

"What the eldest master said..." Baozhu looked at Shangchun helplessly, "It must be true."

Shangchun nodded: "It's already a done deal."

"Big brother also promised me that if I really didn't want to become the Crown Princess, he would help me find a solution." Meng Shisan said, "But I've been thinking about it these past few days. If Big brother is really caught between me and His Highness, Big brother will not only be embarrassed, but I'm afraid he will have a rift with His Highness because of this. The friendship we have had since childhood and the loyalty between the monarch and his subjects are now ruined because of me. I can't get over it. I always think this is not good."

Once she felt this way, she had to think of another way.

Meng Shisan's meaning was very clear, and Shangchun and Baozhu heard it clearly. They couldn't find the right words for a moment, so they both fell silent.

Meng Shisan didn't hear their voices, but she knew they didn't know how to talk to her. She picked up the tea that Shangchun had just brewed and drank two sips. Then she said, "Don't worry. There's still time, and there are still... bargaining chips."

The bargaining chips were what she used to make a deal with Li Shou.

She hopes that everything will go smoothly. Even if it is not going smoothly, she will not back down and will definitely achieve her goal.

"Chips?" Baozhu murmured again, she didn't understand what it meant.

Shangchun understood a little more, but was frightened by what Meng Shisan said and did: "Miss, do you want to negotiate terms with His Highness?"
