The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 774: Guests Arrive

Ji Kuan went to meet him and said, "That's great. Come, let me tell you about the interesting things that happened in the morning court today..."

Meng Renping nodded, and as he walked, he listened to Ji Kuan telling him in detail all the discussions that had taken place in the morning court.

Chang Qing stood behind the main seat without looking around, thinking that only Young Master Ji could describe such a tense atmosphere as interesting.

Ji Kuan spent more than a quarter of an hour telling Meng Renping everything that happened in the morning court one by one. He did not explain it in detail, mainly because he did not understand it thoroughly. Meng Renping had to figure out the deeper things on his own.

Meng Renping understood quickly and turned to ask Li Shou: "Your Highness, is it too much to cut down trees so vigorously? Will it cause the emperor to be angry?"

Li Shou had thought about this before making the decision: "Father will have to overcome this sooner or later."

Ji Kuan had to hold back his breath after hearing this. He looked at Chang Qing, who also had his eyes wide open, then back at Li Shou, and finally at Meng Renping's profile: "Chi Nan..."

Meng Renping ignored Ji Kuan and continued to talk to Li Shou: "Is your highness taking too much risk?"

"From the moment he was so radical as to send assassins to kill Yaoyao, he should have thought that there are some dangers he cannot avoid, and there are some dangers that father can no longer withstand." Li Shou finally raised his head from the main table and looked at Meng Renping, who said firmly word by word, "Yaoyao is my bottom line. Father must know this, and everyone else must understand it."

Only his father knew, and everyone in and outside the court understood, so his Yaoyao would never face such a dangerous situation again.

Meng Renping wanted to say something else, but after seeing Li Shou's firm eyes, he chose to shut up.

Grandfather is right. Your Highness was born to be an emperor. Once a decision is made, no one can change it. Otherwise, you will fight a battle without any confidence.

Since His Highness has made the decision and is confident of winning, then no matter he is a member of the Meng family or a favorite in the Eastern Palace, he only needs to follow His Highness and keep up with him at all times.

Ji Kuan looked at Li Shou, who was still reading memorials with his head down, and then looked at Meng Renping, who remained silent, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Perhaps something big was about to happen, but he only knew it in general terms.

Chang Qing's heart was also beating fast. Although it was not the first time that His Highness had argued with His Majesty, there was always a limit to arguments. This time, it seemed that he had to win.

For Miss Meng, Your Highness cannot lose. That way, it will not be like the last time in the Imperial Study, when His Majesty angrily rebuked him and Your Highness just had to kneel down...

Just thinking about it at this moment, his heart felt like it was going to jump out of his chest.

There were undercurrents on Li Shou's side, and Li Heng also began to deploy defenses.

The two brothers grew up together in the palace, and fought openly and secretly for many years under the nose of their father. It is no exaggeration to say that they understand each other quite well.

Li Shou activated all the available chess pieces and hidden stakes, intending to break several of Li Heng's wings at once. Similarly, Li Heng was planning the same thing.

Thus, a silent war of mutual fighting began step by step after Li Shou made such a high-profile report to Emperor Zong in the morning court today. At the same time, Meng Shisan, who was specially asked by Meng Renping to return to the Meng Mansion and ask Meng Shisan not to leave the mansion for any important matters in the near future, welcomed a female guest.

Or should I say a Taoist nun.

Huang Jing looked around Qingmingtang, and after he finished looking around, Meng Shisan arrived.

The first time she saw Meng Shisan, she was very surprised and secretly sighed that no wonder the whole capital was saying that the eldest daughter of the Meng family would most likely become the mistress of the East Palace and the Crown Princess of the current Crown Prince next year.

Such a beautiful girl, even she, as a girl, would be completely captivated by her at this moment.

Shang confirmed that Huang Jing's arrival had nothing to do with anything else, and that he came purely to make the acquaintance of her eldest niece, so she did not stay in Qingming Hall for long, but only asked Butler Chu to be on standby at all times and ensure that he was well entertained.

After leaving Qingming Hall, she looked back at Huang Jing, who was sitting in an armchair and smiling at her niece. She felt something was wrong, but she still felt uneasy and whispered to Butler Chu: "Yaoyao is young and has not seen many storms. Although she is a little brave, she lacks experience. You should keep an eye on her. If there is anything wrong, stop her first and send someone to the backyard to report to me. I will come right away."

"Yes." Butler Chu responded with a kind look. In fact, there was no need for Shang to specifically say this. Of course, he had to keep a close eye on his own eldest daughter.

No matter whether the visitor is a boy or a girl, the eldest daughter of the family must not be allowed to suffer any loss.

Huang Jing saw that she was a Taoist nun, but not an ordinary Taoist nun, but a demon exorcist, a real demon exorcist with a heritage and skills. However, Shang Shi did not know this, so it was normal for her to be worried. Therefore, although she clearly heard the words that Shang Shi said to Butler Chu outside the hall to guard against her, she was not angry at all.

Meng Shisan was not a real mortal. She possessed a powerful demon soul and had excellent hearing. She heard what Shang said to Butler Chu. While enjoying the care of her aunt, she could not help but look at Huang Jing in front of her again and again.

Over the past thousand years, she has not seen many demon exorcists, and even fewer who are truly capable. Now that one has suddenly come to her on his own initiative, she has to take a good look at him.

Therefore, after Shang left, Butler Chu was guarding outside the hall, Tong Yu was waiting on the side, and Meng Shisan and Huang Jing just looked at each other.

After a while, they both laughed at the same time.

"You are really interesting!" Huang Jing was the first to praise, "You are not as sickly as people say, but you are as beautiful as people say."

Meng Shisan also praised: "I also didn't expect that a demon-slayer would be so young and so pretty."

Huang Jing is fifteen years older than Meng Shisan, but she is born small. She is the same height as the frail and short Meng Shisan. They look at each other when they sit and stand, and they are both petite in a rare way.

Huang Jing burst out laughing. She had no idea that Meng Shisan's observation started from the height. However, she had something to say about age: "I heard that you just turned 15 this year? Then I am five years older than you!"

"I just came of age this year, but you are five years older than me. If you didn't say it, I wouldn't be able to tell." Seeing Huang Jing's friendly words, Meng Shisan also became more friendly.

Huang Jing continued, "Do you know that recently in Manjiangfang in the west of the city, there is a street called Houfu Street. At that time, there was a mansion with five entrances. There were hundreds of guests in the mansion, and they were all counselors kept by the current second prince. I heard that one of them was the most trusted by the second prince and could be called his confidant. His name was..."
