Foster son and husband

Chapter 274
290 Palace
"But he is going to marry after all, isn't he? Who can stand up to the emperor's order?"

"Maybe Xu Junying can?" Lin Runan took a sword flower and said, "So what if we marry? It's just one more concubine, and Xu Junying doesn't like her because of her appearance, so he can just live with you!"

"No! I will never allow my husband to take a concubine. If he marries A Yao, it will be the end of our marriage. I am not reconciled!"

Lin Runan looked at her sideways: "I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to really be a jealous woman. If the queen mother finds out, you will be summoned into the palace and scolded by her! I think it's better to forget it. It's fine to have a quarrel in the concubine, look at me, I don't even want to scold a concubine, I will get goose bumps when those male pets approach me."

Meimei was amused by Lin Runan's black humor, and whispered: "Don't worry, take your time, King Qi needs patience, he doesn't reject you anymore, that's good. Whatever he plays, you also play along, if it's me , just try to play with those beauties..."

"God, Qin Meiniang, you, you actually have that kind of thought!"

Lin Runan gasped, and stretched out her hand to pat her: "No wonder he likes you, you two are so similar!"

"If you don't come for real, why don't you pretend to be? You really are, it's in vain that you are so free and easy, and you are considered a hero among women."

"I'm not a female hero, I can't do things like yours!"

Lin Runan walked into the arena angrily, and hooked her finger at Meimei: "Come here, your chain legs are very good, I'll play with you!"

"Don't come! You don't tell me what happened that day, and you're too lazy to play with you—now my legs and feet are strong, and you're no match for me!"

Lin Runan stared and clicked his tongue: "You really look more and more like him, so arrogant!"

"Who is like whom? Who is arrogant?"

King Qi stood tall and tall, standing under the wisteria flower trellis with his hands behind his back, with a rare Hexi smile on his handsome face, Lin Runan was stunned: "When did the prince come? The maids didn't even report, and the concubine didn't come." Welcome!"

Hearing what she said, Meimei remembered that this is a royal mansion, and there must be some rules, so she hurriedly put down the teacup she was playing with, stood up from the stone bench and saluted King Qi:

"I have seen the lord!"

"Forget it, I couldn't come over with some things just now - what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, but it's about boxing. The princess taught me a few tricks before. Later, I also learned some from the guards around me. She wants to see if I have improved!"

Seeing him sitting down at the stone table, Meimei stepped forward and poured him a cup of tea, filled the cup for Lin Runan, and shouted to her with a smile: "Princess, please sit down!"

King Qi took a sip of tea and looked at her: "Take off the mask, it's not your cyclamen here, you are not allowed to wear this in my palace!"

Meimei thought for a while, and felt that it was not very polite, so she said, "Then I'll go clean myself."

"No need!"

King Qi shouted: "Come here!"

Immediately, two maids came over, one carrying a basin of clean water and the other holding a tray with stacked handkerchiefs. Meimei was a little unaccustomed to tearing off a layer of skin from her face in front of so many people, as if Not very pretty, is it?

Curious, Lin Runan stood up and said, "I'll help you."

"I come!"

However, King Qi was one step faster than her. He quickly turned around the stone table, dipped his hand into the water basin, and then stroked Meimei's face. In his hands, everyone knows what kind of person King Qi is, and ignored his unexpected behavior. Lin Runan stretched out his hand to hold the mask in his hand and looked at it over and over again, admiring:

"Great! It feels like silk and satin, and it's cool. Where can I buy it? I want one too!"

Meimei coaxed her: "Human skin, do you dare to wear it?"

"You dare, what am I afraid of?"

Meimei put away the mask with a smile, and said, "I'm lying to you, is the evil of human skin disgusting? This is..."

Before we could make it up, King Qi said: "The silk made by the ice spider was either given by Zhang Jingyun or Lingxuzi, right?"

Meimei froze for a moment: "How do you know?"

"I know, that's all. Why ask so many questions?"

King Qi looked her up and down with satisfaction: "It's almost like this! In the future, when you come to Prince Qi's mansion, you are not allowed to wear a mask, otherwise you will confiscate it and give it to the princess. It is a generous gift and you can't buy it anywhere!"

Lin Runan was a little surprised, smiled and said to Meimei: "Did you hear that?"

Meimei curled her lips: "You husband and wife together bully outsiders, what can I do? I have to be careful!"

King Qi stared at her and snorted. Seeing that he was just sitting and drinking tea, Meimei didn't intend to go away. If this continued, she would have no chance to talk to Lin Runan. Her mind was turning, and suddenly she smiled and said:
"I heard that His Royal Highness King Qi and the guards of the palace are good at playing polo. No matter who they fight against, they always win. They have a long-standing reputation. Do you still play polo today? I want to see!"

King Qi narrowed his slender eyes slightly, and glanced at her face: "Really want to see?"

"Of course! I wanted to see it a long time ago, but I just didn't have a chance."

Qi Wang became interested, and said with bright eyes: "It will take a lot of time to finish a few polo games. Let's have dinner first, so that they can prepare it. It's no fun to play against your own people. I call it single." Bravely go outside the mansion to find a few masters, and play a wonderful game for you to watch!"

"Yeah!"

Meimei clapped her hands happily, watched King Qi walk out of the courtyard, turned around and glared at Lin Runan: "Will you tell me? If you don't tell me, I'll be pestering you for most of the day!"

Lin Runan drank tea, squinted at her and said calmly: "Didn't I tell you? Every time the Qi Palace played polo, the Queen Mother would come to watch, and sometimes the Emperor would also come, and Princess Su De would also come. Everyone loves polo——you will wear this dress in a while, and you will have a good time to see the emperor! It is difficult to sit with me! Maybe Su De will like you, and maybe you will sit with her .”

Meimei was stunned, Lin Runan laughed loudly: "Is this called being clever but being fooled by cleverness? Ah! It's so fun!"

Meimei jumped up angrily: "I'm leaving! Is that okay? My stomach suddenly hurts, and there's something wrong with your tea..."

"you!"

Lin Runan stepped forward to hold her back, her face turned red, "I've never seen such a rascal like you! Just walk away and wait for him to come and kill me!"

"That's such a terrible thing to say!"

"It's not scary at all!" Lin Runan pushed Meimei back to the stone bench and sat down, and said with a cold face:
"I have been put on my neck by him with a sharp knife many times, and I am already numb. I hope he can really kill me with a knife, but he won't do that, he said..."

"say what?"

"He said that if he dared to make him angry again, he would randomly find someone to bridal with me, and after that, he would have my whole family of Lin family executed for adultery!"

Meimei stared at Lin Runan in a daze, trying to put on a smile: "He won't, he..."

"enough!"

Lin Runan's bright eyes became dark, and tears dripped down: "Don't tell me how pitiful he is, how he has lost his true nature - he is just a vicious man who is indulgent, arrogant and domineering! I didn't expect anything from him, but now I was so heartbroken, I lived like this, obediently stayed by his side after listening to the queen, often entered the palace to serve the queen, and tried to learn as much as possible about what the queen wanted to know... I am the eldest daughter, I only wish to use my Work hard to continue the prosperity of the Lin family, let my mother sit firmly in the position of mistress, so that I won't be looked down upon by my grandfather and neglected by my father just because I gave birth to a daughter!"

Seeing the always bright and strong Lin Runan weeping, Meimei felt sore, walked over to hug her, and let her lean on her shoulder: "I'm sorry Runan, I... I only cared about myself, I didn't think about you, I was too much Already!"

Lin Runan leaned on her shoulder, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, raised her head, and said decisively, "I'll tell you everything you want to know!"

"No, I don't want to know!"

Lin Runan was surprised: "Why?"

"Compared to you, what is my problem? Xu Junying has already expressed his heart. He will never get involved in other things, but only stay with me. After careful investigation, it is not his fault. Why should I hold on to it so hard? If you don’t let it go, you’re going to embarrass yourself and others? Don’t worry, it’s man-made, and we will always find another solution!”

Lin Runan nodded lightly, with complicated eyes: "Actually... King Qi is really good to you. I don't know if he wants to see Xu Junying's sincerity towards you, or what he wants. In short, he may use those three conditions. , you have to be prepared!"

Meimei held Lin Runan's hand and looked at her: "Do you think I will have an affair with King Qi?"

Lin Runan said indifferently: "You have already had it!"

"Huh?" Meimei felt a black line hanging down her forehead.

Lin Runan smiled: "You can't get rid of each other in this life! He can't let you go, if you want, he can make a big disaster for you. Your care and understanding for him is unmatched - only I know , I sometimes feel like a puppet, manipulated by the Queen and you!"

Meimei shook her head: "No, you are yourself, you have to have your own thoughts and decisions! I have the same relationship with King Qi and you, but you and King Qi will be different in the end, and you will become divorced. Lovers who don’t love each other, you trust me and yourself too, don’t give up on him, absolutely don’t!”

Worthy of being a royal palace, the vastness of the land is incomparable to Mei Mei. Just looking around at the majestic or exquisite buildings, and the strange flowers and trees that can be seen everywhere in the courtyard, she is amazed. A four-storey red pavilion was built entirely of mahogany, with only a layer of varnish on the surface. The flowers and trees carved on the plaques around the pavilion were exquisite, magnificent and lifelike. Meimei almost stumbled when she looked up from a distance. , Lin Runan gave her a hand, King Qi laughed and said:
"It's so good to wear such clothes. If people see that you are a woman, they will laugh at your poor manners-don't look! Walk well, when will you not be able to see this yard? Everyone is waiting on the field!"

Meimei remembered Lin Runan's words, and asked tentatively: "Will there be many people coming to see it?"

"Of course there is. Playing polo requires cheering and applause. The women's seats are in a class of their own, separated from the rest of the crowd!"

Meimei breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Is there anyone else? Is the emperor coming?"

"You want him to come?"

"No!"

The words had already rushed out of her mouth, but was pinched by Lin Runan, Meimei took a breath, and turned her head to kill her with her eyes: the dead girl misled her first, and now she knows how to stop her from talking nonsense, it's already too late!Even if the emperor is in front of him, he has already collided!

King Qi had a panoramic view of the little movements of the two of them, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised: "You are dressed today, you cannot sit with the princess, the princess is accompanied by someone!"

"Then what should I do? I can't sit with men!"

"Don't worry, we have prepared a separate seat for you."

"Watching football alone? What's the point? It's so boring!"

"Look honestly, I'll go down and play a game, and I'll come back to accompany you!"

Meimei opened her mouth, looked at Lin Runan in dismay, almost fainted, and shouted in her heart: From now on, I will never come to Qi Palace again!
