Chapter 1299 Confession
Some people are open-minded by nature and will never push themselves into a dead end no matter what they do. However, some people are not. They appear to be open-minded and are often the easiest to get into trouble.

And Rong Yi's mood was very complicated. She didn't tell herself how open-minded she should be to treat one thing, but it was boring to think about many things over and over. What gains and losses could be gained by worrying too much about boring things?Perhaps this is how we can be open-minded in many cases and not hate or complain.

Seeing her like this, Meng Simin was speechless for a while. After a long time, she sighed and said with a smile: "I was originally worried that you would be unbalanced and resentful, but now it seems that I think too much. You You are quite open-minded when it comes to these things."

Rong Yi smiled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you are open-minded or not, I just want to calm down. Now that you have your own life, it is boring to dwell too much on the past."

Meng Simin believed this. Only the happiness of the present life would make it indifferent to the past. But if the present life is even slightly unsatisfactory, how can we be open-minded about the past?That's all human nature.

"Tomorrow, the house will buy New Year's goods. This year should not be too big. Now that the whole country of Meng is in crisis, we will simply celebrate the New Year. However, if there are not enough people by then, I will borrow some more people from your courtyard. Come."

It’s New Year’s Eve in two days…

Rong Yi said hurriedly: "Of course, there is nothing going on in Zhaoyi Courtyard on weekdays. If your Highness needs anything, just give me your instructions."

"It won't be very busy. We have almost bought all the New Year's goods, but there are always some missing or missing, and some more need to be filled. I don't know how many people can survive this year... Let's see what our luck will be like next year, and …”

Meng Simin paused slightly, looked at Rong Yi, and then said, "If nothing else happens, His Highness and the Princess will come over tomorrow."

That is to say, Meng Yan and Meng Lingying.

Rong Yi was stunned for a moment, then heard her say: "The princess is probably coming to play with you. When you go back tonight, ask your servants to tidy up the yard."

"Yes."

"You don't have to be too nervous when facing them. You have met them all before. The princess is about the same age as you and has a temperament similar to Chang Qing. I think you can chat together."

Seeing the eldest princess explain to herself again, Rong Yi hurriedly said: "Yes, we have met before. The princess and I are quite close."

Rong Yi knew in her heart that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess had specially explained it to her. Presumably she knew Meng Lingying's feelings for her father. By explaining like this, she was silently telling herself that there was nothing else to do in the meantime, so she didn't have to. Worry.

It's just that the eldest princess doesn't know that Meng Lingying confessed a lot to her a long time ago. Although the two of them haven't talked about everything now, they have known each other, and they don't have so many miscellaneous thoughts in their hearts. .

……

Not long after, both the prince and his master arrived. After a simple dinner, Jiang Shunxiao took Rong Yi back to Zhaoyiyuan.

After returning to Changliu, Rong Yi took off her coat and put it in the cabinet. She heard him ask: "I heard that the eldest princess talked to you alone for a while today."

Rong Yi didn't look at him, just said "hmm", lowered her head and took off the accessories on her body, and said: "We chatted for a while and talked about my parents' affairs. Maybe I was afraid that if I was unbalanced, something bad would happen. The eldest princess wanted to enlighten me." "Oh? How did I enlighten you?"

Rong Yi paused for a while and said: "Her way of enlightenment... is a bit unique. I can tell that she cares about me. She also taught me how a daughter of a daughter should not sit down in court. She said that my status is different now. , we can’t treat people and things as before, always being submissive and obeying orders, we must always have our own temper and ideas.”

Jiang Shunxiao agreed with this statement. He said: "This is true. I always feel that your temper is too gentle, and it is the same for everyone. Sometimes if no one pays attention to you, I am afraid that you will be wronged. I swallowed it by myself, I don’t know how distressing it is for people, everyone should have a backbone, what else did you say?”

Rong Yi thought about it for a moment and suddenly thought of what the eldest princess had told her. She glanced at Poria and said, "I almost forgot. I'll ask someone to tidy up the yard up and down, inside and out, tomorrow morning." Her Royal Highness the Princess may come."

Fu Ling agreed, and Rong Yicai said to her master again: "That's all I said, and then I tested my emotions. I feel that I have already released those emotions at home, and it won't be a big deal when I face the eldest princess and question her." My mood was very bland, and she even praised me for being open-minded."

Jiang Shunxiao smiled and said, "Why didn't I hear that Lingying is coming tomorrow?"

"His Royal Highness is coming too."

"I know this. What did the eldest princess tell you?"

Rong Yi raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at him, and smiled: "Why are you so curious? It's because the princess is coming, so she asked me to clean up everything inside and out. Your Highness... has been here a lot He also knows what it is like to stay for a long time."

Jiang Shunxiao was silent for a moment, hesitated for a while and then asked: "Didn't you say anything else?"

Seeing him like this, Rong Yi felt very strange. There was nothing between him and Her Highness the Princess. It was just because the Princess once liked him. Why did he care so much?
Wanting to see his reaction, Rong Yi deliberately sighed and said, "I said a lot, but I didn't take it to heart. It's all over, and there's nothing to worry about."

Jiang Shunxiao: "..."

Does this mean you told her everything?
Rong Yi looked up at him, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm very open-minded, don't you understand me?"

Although Rong Yi was smiling, Jiang Shunxiao didn't feel relaxed at all. Seeing Rong Yi like this, he took a deep breath and explained: "I didn't agree with this matter in the first place, and I didn't want to tell him. You, so as not to add to your worries, you should be unhappy if you feel unhappy. Is it too late for me to explain to you now?"

Rong Yi's eyelids twitched slightly, and she smiled slightly. The meaning was unclear, and she said in a calm tone: "How could it be? If you explained it to me personally, I might feel a lot more relaxed. If I learned about this matter first from other people's words, I know, I don’t know what it feels like.”

Hearing what she said, Jiang Shunxiao knew that he had made the decision on his own before. He thought he didn't tell her because he didn't want to make her more troubled, but in her opinion, not telling her was the worst thing.

He confessed: "My father may have known that Lingying was interested in me, but he didn't know that she had given it up a long time ago. Originally, she thought that it would be an honor to ask for the princess's hand in marriage, but I had already clearly refused at that time. Never accept marriage in such a hazy way again..."
