The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 665: Fear of Invasion

The four of them were all perked up at the same time and stared at Meng Shisan.

Meng Shisan smiled and continued, "No matter whether it is a small matter or a big matter, all matters in the Eastern Palace are decided by His Highness. Next year, when His Highness comes of age, a Crown Princess will move into the Eastern Palace. Regardless of whether His Highness has a Crown Princess candidate in mind, it will still have to pass the test of His Majesty."

In short, it is too early to say this now.

Li Zhaoqin was a member of the royal family, so he naturally understood the reason why Meng Shisan mentioned Emperor Zong. He also understood the importance of the decision that Emperor Zong could make on Li Shou's wedding, so he naturally said nothing more after hearing it.

Although the sisters of the Ji family did not think as deeply as Li Zhaoqin, they were all noble ladies who grew up in the imperial city, so they all understood that the imperial family has been the most ruthless since ancient times. Not to mention that the life of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace was related to the future of the country and was a matter of utmost importance, even the marriages of other princes and the selection of princes' consorts were done with great caution.

Jiang Ziyao also chose to keep silent, which was rare. Compared with Li Zhaoqin and the Ji sisters, she knew the least. However, thanks to Meng Shisan teaching her things from time to time in recent days, she is now very different from her past self, and she can now understand some of the key points.

It can be heard from the implication of Meng Shisan's words that even if Li Shou has his own candidate for the Crown Princess, if Emperor Zong objects, he will most likely not let Li Shou get his wish.

If this is true, then whether Meng Shisan is Li Shou's ideal candidate for the Crown Princess is not the most important thing.

Since it is not the most important thing, it is a waste of time to talk about it right now.

But from her point of view, it is still fun to have a discussion. However, Sister Yao doesn't want to talk about it anymore, and she can't go against Sister Yao.

Otherwise, not to mention Sister Yao, she would be angry with her. If her uncle knew about it, he would definitely give her a good beating.

Just as Jiang Ziyao was thinking of Lu Luo, she seemed to see him out of the corner of her eye. She stood up uncertainly: "Huh? Is that my cousin?"

Upon hearing this, the others followed Jiang Ziyao's gaze and saw Lu Luo walking towards them from the water corridor on the north side of the open shed. On the other side, there was Shi Lianchun in front and Yu Minglu and He Yizheng behind.

Li Zhaoqin turned around and said, "Why are they all coming here? If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in Qiufengtai."

Mr. Ma's trip today was very fruitful, and Cui Yu also got some information from Mr. Ma, so both of them gained something.

Afterwards, Cui Yu sent Ma Lao away on a black-sailed boat, and Meng Shisan and his group also left Qiufengtai afterwards. They did not stay at Qiufengtai to watch the fishing.

After coming from Qiufeng Terrace to the Water Corridor, they chose to sit down in the open shed where they had been sitting before, and also sat around the table.

Although they were farther away from the lake and the fishing scene could not be seen as clearly as from Qiufeng Terrace, the cheers that rose and fell with the wins and losses, as well as the curses and frustrated voices, were still heard continuously and all reached their ears.

Meng Shisan had watched fishing competitions up close, and it was not much different from real fishing. The difference was just fishing alone in silence, versus two people or two teams fishing in a noisy and vigorous competition. After watching two games, she was no longer interested.

So she went to sit farther away in the open shed, which suited her taste.

As soon as Li Zhaoqin mentioned it, she readily agreed.

Once she agreed, Jiang Ziyao would certainly agree as well, and the sisters from the Ji Mansion would certainly not object. After all, they had all been to Qiufengtai, sat there, watched there, and fished there, so today's trip was already worth it.

After all, Qiufengtai, which had been closed all along, was opened to them today thanks to Meng Shisan. After today, when she mentioned it to her sisters, she felt a little proud.

"Come on, Minmin, are you scared?" Meng Shisan said with a smile.

How could Li Zhaoqin be afraid: "It's not a question of whether I'm afraid or not, it's just... it's quite troublesome." She is not afraid of trouble, but if the trouble is endless, she will have a headache.

"It's a trouble." Meng Shisan agreed with this.

When Ji Ling thought of her date He Yizheng coming here, she was thinking about waiting for him to come. She wanted to see how the young doctor He was so talented that he could attract so many women. But she also wanted to meet He Yizheng privately before they even met. She was worried that if she messed up, her mother would find out when she got home and she would be scolded by her mother.

I feel quite complicated.

Ji Zhi's thoughts were much simpler. She just wanted to see what the young master of the He family, whom her mother had chosen to introduce to her sister, looked like.

Jiang Ziyao was originally thinking about watching the show, but when she saw Lu Luo appear and coming this way, she was confused for a moment: "Before I left today, I went to the Lu Mansion to ask, and they said that my cousin was not available today, so why is he here now?"

Ji Zhi continued, "Maybe Second Master Lu changed his mind at the last minute!"

Jiang Ziyao nodded: "That's possible, my cousin is always like this."

"This small open shed, if it wants to accommodate so many people at once, will probably attract even more people." Li Zhaoqin said to Meng Shisan meaningfully.

Meng Shisan looked around the shed and didn't see Zeng Chongqi and Ding Lan'an. She breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously: "You're right, it's really troublesome."

On an occasion like today, the slightest movement can attract everyone's attention.

Ji Ling said, "Then let's put my affairs aside for today."

She didn't want to have any conflict with He Yizheng and Shi Lianchun because of her marriage, which would lead to unmanageable trouble.

Meng Shisan shook his head: "There is no need to avoid it so deliberately. We should be more cautious and avoid it if we can. If we really can't avoid it, then we are not afraid."

"We are in the right, what are we afraid of!" No matter what, Jiang Ziyao will always support her sister Yao first. Even if her cousin comes, he has to line up behind sister Yao.

Her voice was a little loud, so loud that Lu Luo, who was about to step into the open shed, paused.

Shi Lianchun on the other side also walked into the open shed at the same time. Yu Minglu, who was still some distance away, saw that Lu Luo had also entered the open shed, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

As Yu Minglu walked faster, He Yizheng naturally followed suit and walked faster.

As Lu Luo walked, he asked, "Whether you are right or wrong, what are you afraid of?"

He was asking Jiang Ziyao, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Meng Shisan's face.

Meng Shisan felt it keenly, and when he stood up, he met Lu Luo's gaze with dignity and openness, without a trace of evasion.

Under such circumstances, Lu Luo felt guilty and turned his head away suddenly, so abruptly that everyone present could notice the clue.

This discovery surprised Li Zhaoqin. He unconsciously took a step forward and half-blocked Meng Shisan, not wanting Lu Luo's sight to fall on Meng Shisan unobstructed again.

After Ji Ling discovered this, she thought of Ding Lan'an, who also had a crush on Meng Shisan. After a few moments of surprise, her mood became even more complicated.
