The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 944 Revealing History

"Miss? Miss? Miss, wake up!" Baozhu's voice kept ringing in Meng Shisan's ears.

Meng Shisan slowly opened her eyes and realized that she had only taken a short nap, yet she had dreamt of the fifth fragment.

Moreover, these five fragments revealed her identity in the dream—Meng Shisi.

“What about Ma Ji?” she asked.

Baozhu replied, "Neither Mr. Ma nor Miss Huang have sent back any news yet."

She thought her young mistress was asking about the progress of the Fourth Young Master's disappearance.

But at this moment, Meng Shisan was actually eager to ask Ma Ji about Meng Ying. She wanted to know at what time Meng Shisi became involved with the Crown Prince.

According to the fragments in the dream, the relationship between Meng Shisi and the Crown Prince in the dream is not simple. It is very likely that Meng Shisi is still the Crown Princess, or the Crown Prince in the dream promised Meng Shisi that she would become the Crown Princess.

Before she could ask whether Meng Shisi had become the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace in her dreams, she woke up.

Therefore, she needed to ask Ma Ji for an explanation.

After hearing Baozhu's answer, Meng Shisan gradually calmed down. She unfolded the brocade quilt, sat on the bed, and let Baozhu tidy up her socks and put on her embroidered shoes while letting her thoughts slowly drift back into her dream.

As she pondered, a new question arose in her mind: why had she entered Meng Shisi's dream and dreamt of fragments from Meng Shisi's life? These fragments, so far, seemed to be trying to tell her something, or perhaps they were trying to say something to her.

"Why me?" she murmured.

Baozhu was focused on her work and didn't hear clearly for a moment: "What did Miss say?"

"It's nothing." Meng Shisan lowered her head and saw that Baozhu had already put her shoes on. She stood up again and let Baozhu start dressing her.

After putting on her dress, she sat down in front of the dressing table. Cangyu, who was in charge of combing her hair, was out handling the matters assigned to her by Shang Chun, so she switched to Jin Yin.

Jin Yin had just come out of the small kitchen. Before coming here, she had gone back to the side room to change into clothes that were no longer stained with the smell of cooking oil.

"No need to change clothes anymore." Meng Shisan didn't think there was anything wrong with the smell of cooking oil. Every time she smelled it, it felt like she was smelling the real atmosphere of the world.

"Yes." Jin Yin smiled and gently lifted Meng Shisan's waist-length black hair. "Miss's hair is getting better and better."

The more she takes care of herself, the better she gets, which also proves that the young lady's health is getting better and better.

Meng Shisan glanced at the black hair hanging down his chest: "Baozhu, I remember you said that there are many history books in Grandfather's study, all of them are official histories, right?"

“Yes.” However, Baozhu herself had never seen it. She had heard Shangchun mention it. “Aunt Shangchun once cleaned up the study in Changchun Courtyard for the old master. Aunt has seen many official historical books.”

When Meng Shisan arrived at the main room, Old Madam Meng had just woken up. Upon seeing Meng Shisan, she immediately perked up: "Why is Yaoyao here? Is there news about Kang-ge'er again?"

She was so worried about her youngest grandson that she couldn't sleep until Shangchun came to the main room to say that her eldest granddaughter had received news that, to be precise, the missing grandson had been seen heading towards the entertainment district in Anmofang. After arranging for people to be sent to the entertainment district in Anmofang to search for him, her exhaustion finally overwhelmed her.

He then went back to his room and dozed off for a while.

Unexpectedly, the eldest granddaughter came again as soon as she woke up. "No," Meng Shisan said anxiously, getting straight to the point, "Grandmother, may I look for history books in Grandfather's study?"

Grandma Meng was taken aback: "Why did you suddenly decide to read history books? Official history or unofficial history?"

"Official history." Meng Shisan thought that Ma Ji was still searching for Meng Renkang. Since she couldn't see or ask Ma Ji for the time being, she could look in the historical records first. Perhaps she could find the name Meng Ying in the official history.

Which dynasty?

"do not know."

Grandma Meng frowned slightly: "You don't know?"

"My granddaughter is currently under house arrest, so she's just idling around anyway. She can browse through some things and take a closer look at anything that interests her, regardless of which dynasty it's from," Meng Shisan quickly fabricated a plausible reason.

“Alright, go ahead.” Old Madam Meng could still make decisions about Meng Tianguan’s study, but she also gave him a word of advice: “Don’t mess it up. Anything you don’t want to look at must be put back in its place. Your grandfather is the kind of person who lets you read his books as you please, but you can’t mess up his study. Otherwise, he’ll be furious when he comes back and sees it.”

Meng Shisan immediately assured him, "I absolutely won't make a mess of it!"

"Shangxia, take the eldest young lady there," Old Madam Meng instructed, turning her head.

“Yes,” Shang Xia, who was standing by, replied.

Because she didn't know which dynasty or even whether he was the Crown Prince of the Great Wei, Meng Shisan couldn't be sure. So, even with Shang Xia's help, who was quite familiar with Meng Tianguan's study, she still couldn't find the official history she wanted by dusk.

Baozhu looked out at the servants in the corridor outside, who were already holding lanterns: "Miss, the old master will be back soon."

"So what?" Meng Shisan knew that Baozhu was reminding her, "Grandmother agreed to this."

Shang Xia found another official history book and handed it to Meng Shisan to see if he wanted it. At the same time, she said, "The old master actually thinks highly of the eldest young lady in private."

"Take a good look?" Meng Shisan took the history book, staring at the cover. She noticed it was still the history of the Great Wei Dynasty, but an official history spanning two generations. She opened it and, without looking up, asked Shang Xia, "What's the meaning of this?"

"The old master doesn't often talk about the young masters and ladies of the manor, and he praises them even less often." Shangxia told her everything she had heard and knew. "Even the eldest young master is rarely praised by the old master, but he is still the one the old master praises the most. The second most praised is the eldest young lady."

Meng Shisan looked up from the book and asked Shangxia curiously, "What did Grandfather praise me for?"

Shang Xia thought for a moment, and one sentence left the deepest impression on her: "The old master and the old lady said that the eldest young lady is not the Empress Meng of that year. On the same path, the eldest young lady will walk more steadily and better than Empress Meng."

Meng Shisan paused in turning the pages: "That's all you said?"

"There are others, but this sentence is the one I can't forget." Shangxia sometimes thought that if she had the spirit of Shangchun, she would have also changed her hair back then and vowed not to marry, and went to Taichen Courtyard to serve the young lady. She wondered if the young lady would accept her.
In her heart, the young lady's future was bound to be extraordinary.

When Shangchun returned to Changchun Courtyard, she privately told her, "Being able to follow an extraordinary young lady will be her lifelong pride."

She can't forget that sentence either.

"Hmm..." Meng Shisan nodded and continued flipping through the book, "Are there any official historical records left?"

"Yes!" Shang Xia said, and then found another one.
