The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 986 Half-Green Soil

A moment later, Huang Jing sat in the carriage with Meng Shisan, taking the pastries from Baozhu with one hand and the tea from Baozhu with the other.

She ate, drank, and thought.

Meng Shisan went into the water. It was a rare treat that she had the courage to go in the cold winter. Surprisingly, she was still in good health. After warming up in the carriage and drinking ginger soup, she felt perfectly fine.

Even so, Baozhu was still worried: "Miss, please think it over before you go into the water in the future. It's so cold, and it might even start snowing in a little while. You're not very healthy, what if you get sick?"

Listening to Baozhu's rambling, Meng Shisan nodded gently: "Mm."

Baozhu could tell that her young mistress hadn't really taken the advice to heart, but there was nothing she could do. Apart from nagging a few times, she couldn't stop her mistress's behavior.

After all, the young lady doesn't really listen to the old master and old lady.

After Meng Shisan hummed in agreement, she glanced at the stunned Huang Jing before looking at the half-piece of green soil that Huang Jing had placed on the low table inside the carriage after he entered.

From the moment she held the half of the jade pendant in her hand, she sensed a familiar aura—the aura of her own demonic energy, as well as the aura of the half-shadow, which was Meng Shisi's demonic energy.

In short, she actually regained the half of the green soil that had been broken off by a thousand-year lightning tribulation five hundred years later.

As Li Shou dreamt, the half of the green soil that was lost and found was indeed engraved with the characters "Fourteen Twelve" on its back, characters that did not exist before she lost it.

In other words, the character "四二" was carved on later by the person who picked up the half of the green soil that she had lost.

This made her think of Meng Shisi—Meng Ying.

She learned from Ma Ji that if Meng Shisi hadn't died, he would be five hundred years old this year. In terms of time, this coincided with the time when she experienced the tribulation. In addition, the loss and reappearance of half of the green soil made her more certain of a certain extension in her heart, and thus a certain possibility.

If before today she was skeptical about a certain possibility, now she is certain that it is true.

Meng Shisi and she have a fundamental connection, and it goes beyond that fundamental connection.

Huang Jing finally came to her senses and, following Meng Shisan's gaze, her eyes also fell on the half-piece of green soil on the table: "How... how did you find it so easily?"

Upon hearing this, the water snake, curled up on a soft cushion in the corner of the carriage, raised its head to look at Meng Shisan, waiting for his answer.

It also wanted to know why, even though it was more familiar with the Kuangguang River and had spent more time searching for things in the river, it could never find them, while the senior could find the old object that Huang Jing's family was looking for as soon as he entered the water and touched it!
With the pearl around, it's not very convenient for it to speak human language.

Huang Jing asked the question on its behalf, and it had to listen carefully.

"A feeling." Meng Shisan couldn't quite put his finger on it. He chewed on a peach shortbread, paused, and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat before continuing, "I didn't think too much about it at the time. After all, the Kuangguang River is so wide. I just swam around by instinct, feeling my way from the surface to the bottom, from the weeds to the mud... and then I found it."

Huang Jing was stunned.

The water snake was speechless with astonishment.

Zhi Baozhu gave a thumbs-up as if it were the most natural thing in the world: "Miss is just lucky!"

Yes, I was lucky...

Huang Jing and the water snake both agreed with Baozhu's conclusion—Yaoyao (senior) is just lucky!
Lu Luo did not appear, but he had his attendants promptly serve Meng Shisan ginger soup.

Bai Zhuo followed behind, escorting Meng Shisan back to the Meng residence safely before returning to the palace to report.

When Ji Kuan heard this, he was surprised: "Second Young Master Lu? He hasn't given up yet?"

Finally, he exclaimed in admiration, "You've got guts!"

To dare to compete with the Crown Prince for a wife is truly astonishing. Sure enough, when Li Shou heard this, his fists clenched, and he sneered, "No wonder you all have the blood of the Lu family; you all enjoy making things difficult for me."

Li Heng knew that he had feelings for her, so she wanted to use her to hurt him, but little did she know that she would suffer the consequences.

Lu Luo knew that he had feelings for her, but she relentlessly pursued him, trying to express her feelings at every opportunity, but in the end, all her efforts were in vain!

“Chi Nan mentioned that Prefect Lu is looking for a suitable job for Lu Er,” Li Shou said slowly. “You should also find a suitable opportunity to give Lu Sen a warning.”

"Yes, sir." Ji Kuan accepted the order, then asked, "May I ask Chi Nan for advice?"

“Yes, but Yaoyao can’t know.” Li Shou didn’t want his older cousin to think he was petty.

Ji Kuan understood, and turned to go to the Imperial Household Department to find Meng Renping, who was busy with official business and dizzy.

He explained his purpose, then sat down in the chair under his friend's desk, crossed his legs, and waited for his friend to give him a brilliant idea.

As Meng Renping pondered, he would occasionally glance at Ji Kuan in his chair.

He looked at it three times before it finally caught Ji Kuan's attention: "What's wrong? Can't think of a good idea?"

"What else did His Highness instruct?" Meng Renping asked.

"……No."

"Ok?"

Ji Kuan stammered, "Well... he also told you not to let your younger sister know."

Meng Renping got up, walked to the side seat and sat down next to Ji Kuan: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"No..."

"Ok?"

Ji Kuan straightened his back and sat up straight: "The thing is..."

When Meng Renping heard the part about Meng Shisan jumping into the water, he couldn't help but stand up. Ji Kuan pressed him back down by pressing his shoulders down with both hands. He endured it again and again before patiently listening to the whole story.

After Ji Kuan finished speaking, he recalled the scene when Li Shou heard Meng Shisan go into the water: "When Your Highness heard that your eldest sister had actually gone into the water to look for something, Your Highness almost smashed a perfectly good Ice Soul Jade Bowl."

"Nonsense!" Meng Renping exclaimed angrily.

Ji Kuan continued, "His Highness also vehemently rebuked it as nonsense."

And then, that was it.

Even now, my friend scolded Miss Meng for making a scene, but that was all he did. Despite his extreme anger, he did nothing more.

"I'll have a good talk with her when I get back!" Meng Renping became increasingly angry. "She's really taking her health for granted!"

"Don't go too far," Ji Kuan cautioned.

Meng Renping glanced at him sideways: "You have a problem with that?"

"You're talking about your own younger sister, how dare I have any objections?" Ji Kuan didn't dare, nor did he have the standing or the right, but someone else did. "However, if His Highness finds out that you went home and scolded Miss Meng because of today's incident, wouldn't His Highness be heartbroken when he finds out? If His Highness is heartbroken, think about the pile of official business on your desk, wouldn't it take another one, two, or three steps to finish?"

He was just trying to give me a friendly reminder.
