Chapter 188 The Meng Brothers
Chapter 188 The Meng Brothers
After a while, a table full of Moon Country dishes was served.
Feng Zhaoyun was just about to eat when he saw a carriage coming downstairs. Who else could it be but Bai Xiyue?
But Bai Xiyue was heading towards the restaurant opposite. As soon as she got off the carriage, she looked around and coincidentally saw Feng Zhaoyun.
The waiter at the restaurant opposite saw that Bai Xiyue was dressed elegantly and was about to welcome her in warmly, but Bai Xiyue suddenly turned around and headed towards the restaurant opposite.
Feng Zhaoyun sighed and continued to eat his food, "It's really difficult..."
After a few minutes, several guards rushed to the third floor and surrounded it.
Among the guards, a woman in luxurious clothes slowly came up, attracting everyone's attention.
Bai Xiyue walked straight towards Feng Zhaoyun's table. Without thinking, she took a step forward and sat down next to Feng Zhaoyun. "You little girl, you actually sneaked out to have fun. Waiter, bring another set of bowls and chopsticks."
At this time, their table was full of guards, and many people around them quietly paid their bills and left the third floor for fear of causing trouble.
Only the two men were left, still sitting there.
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Your Highness Bai, I heard that the Meng family is the richest family in Yue Country. Why don't you enjoy the delicacies there and come here to compete with us?"
This was Bai Xiyue's first time traveling so far. Without servants to serve her, she could just pick up whatever she wanted and enjoy the meal immensely. "I've tasted all sorts of delicacies, but you! Instead of staying by the Second Princess's side, you sneaked out to cook for yourself."
Feng Zhaoyun watched her eat with great relish and poured her a cup of tea. "Eat slowly, my Lady Bai. You are still a princess after all. Please pay attention to your image."
Bai Xiyue took the tea and took a sip. "Now you speak more and more like your sister Ayun. To be honest, your sister Ayun is also boring and has very poor skills! Otherwise, I would have someone to play with now."
A man at the next table narrowed his eyes slightly, and the man next to him whispered, "Brother, they are... envoys from the Kingdom of Yan."
The man didn't speak...
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Alas...yes, it's a pity, Sister Yue. Wouldn't it be the same if you had Ah Zi by your side?"
Bai Xiyue touched Feng Zhaoyun's head and said, "Not bad, but Ah Zi, you have lost weight. I remember you were not this thin before."
Feng Zhaoyun sighed in a feigned sense of grievance, "It's because I've been traveling so much lately that I've lost my appetite..."
After they finished their lunch, they were about to leave. Bai Xiyue looked like she wanted to pester A Zi, "Sister A Zi, how about you and I go for a walk?"
Feng Zhaoyun said, "No, Sister Xiyue, don't you have a welcoming banquet tonight? Don't you need to go back to the Meng Mansion to prepare?"
When the Meng Mansion was mentioned, Bai Xiyue looked bored. "That's so boring. The people of the Meng family are so boring. They are always so polite. I got tired of it in the palace. Now I am still the same in Yue Kingdom. It's boring."
Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Xiyue grabbed Feng Zhaoyun's arm and said, "Sister Azi, why don't you accompany me to the Meng family? If Feng still doesn't take you to the banquet tonight, I will take you there. How about that?"
Feng Zhaoyun's mouth twitched...
Forget it, I don’t have anything to prepare. At most, I’m just a court physician now.
After that, the two reached a consensus and stood up to leave the restaurant.
After they left, the third floor was empty in an instant.
The two men stood up and left the restaurant, getting on the carriage. One of them had an elegant appearance, wearing a green robe and holding a folding fan. He looked puzzled and asked, "Brother, are we going back home too?"
The man sitting opposite had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome face. Apart from his very beautiful eyes, there was nothing much to see on his face, just an ordinary appearance. However, he had a strong aura that made people unable to help but take a second look. This man was none other than Meng Shaoqing, the third son of the Meng family.
The slightly younger man sitting opposite him was the fourth son of the Meng family, Meng Youli.
When the carriage arrived at the Meng family, Feng Zhaoyun and others got off the carriage. Meng Shurou, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, was already there to greet them at the gate.
Meng Shurou, "Your Highness Bai."
Bai Xiyue waved her hand impatiently, "This is my good friend, the Divine Doctor A Zi. Miss Meng, please step aside. You don't need to follow me."
Meng Shurou bowed slightly to A Zi and the others, then said, "Yes, Your Highness, if you have any arrangements, please call me at any time."
Bai Xiyue nodded and took A Zi straight into the mansion.
Just as a few people entered the mansion, another carriage arrived.
Seeing Meng Shaoqing and Meng Youli get off the carriage, Meng Shurou said helplessly, "We have distinguished guests at home these days. Please don't offend them."
Meng Shaoqing, "Don't worry, sister, it won't happen."
After saying that, the two of them entered the mansion.
Bai Xiyue brought Feng Zhaoyun and his group to her own courtyard, asked the maid to prepare some tea and snacks, and then they sat down in the courtyard.
After a while, a guard came to the courtyard and reported, "Your Highness, the third and fourth sons of the Meng family wish to see you."
Bai Xiyue looked puzzled, "They don't even know me, why are they asking to see me?"
The guard said, "He said he heard that the doctor who works for His Highness is a very skilled doctor and he wants to see him."
Bai Xiyue was about to refuse, but Feng Zhaoyun said, "Sister Xiyue, let them in. It's okay."
Bai Xiyue, "Forget it, let them in."
Guard, "Yes."
In fact, Bai Xiyue likes Ah Zhen, so she wants to trick Ah Zi into coming, because she knows that Ah Zhen will also come.
Bai Xiyue secretly glanced at Ah Zhen, which made Ah Zhen very uncomfortable.
Feng Zhaoyun saw through it, and with an innocent and teasing look on his face, he asked, "Sister Xiyue, why do you keep looking at me?"
Bai Xiyue quickly avoided his gaze and coughed twice, "Sister A Zi, stop talking nonsense."
It was then that Bai Xiyue noticed Jiuyi and Black Eagle standing beside them. "Sister Azi, your sister Ayun treats you very well. She assigned you her and your brother's personal guards. I heard that Black Eagle is unyielding, but I didn't expect him to be willing to protect a little girl like you."
Ah Zhen paused while drinking tea and looked up at Bai Xiyue, "Your Highness Bai, please stop calling Ah Zi a little girl. Ah Zi is not young anymore."
This was the first sentence Ah Zhen had said to her today. Bai Xiyue was slightly stunned, then nodded, "I was just joking, Ah Zhen, please don't be angry."
Ah Zhen looked at Bai Xiyue and smiled gently, "Of course not."
At this time, a maid came with two men. Meng Shaoqing and his brother bowed slightly to Bai Xiyue and said, "Greetings to His Highness Bai, and to the miracle doctor."
Bai Xiyue nodded, "No need to be polite."
Meng Shaoqing first glanced at Jiuyi and Black Eagle, then at A Zi, his eyes filled with scrutiny. "I heard that His Highness brought a miraculous doctor with him today. I'm very fond of medicine, so I came to pay him a visit."
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Mr. Meng, please take a seat."
Several people sat together, and the scene became much more lively.
Meng Shaoqing, "I wonder where the divine doctor A Zi came from? Why is he so young and yet he has been given the title of a divine doctor?"
Feng Zhaoyun knew he was probing her. After taking a sip of tea, he waved his hands and said, "No, I was just lucky enough to save the Second Princess of Shang Kingdom. That's why I was accidentally recognized as a miracle doctor. My Senior Brother Ah Zhen is much more capable than me."
At this time, Bai Xiyue said, "Mr. Meng, you don't know that these two are disciples of the legendary doctor Qing Mu. They are very skilled in medicine. If the Second Princess of Shang hadn't reported it to the emperor, the Princess of Shang might not have let them out to follow her."
Hearing this, Meng Shaoqing's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he glanced at Jiuyi again, "These two guards look very majestic, but are they protecting the Divine Doctor A Zi?"
Feng Zhaoyun looked at him and nodded, "Of course, this is someone my sister Ayun sent to protect me."
After saying this, he did not forget to imitate Ah Zi's arrogant expression and raised his chin.
Meng Shaoqing, "Divine Doctor A Zi, the sister A Yun you are talking about is the Princess of Shang, Feng Zhaoyun?"
Feng Zhaoyun said, "Of course! What's wrong?"
Meng Shaoqing, "Nothing, I just heard that the Princess of Shang is a master of both civil and military skills, a rare goddess. I didn't expect that the person next to her is so extraordinary and majestic. Seeing him today is really eye-opening."
Bai Xiyue took a bite of the pastry and said, "Ah, that's right. She's busy loving with my two royal brothers right now, so she wouldn't care about us, right, Sister Azi?"
Feng Zhaoyun:........
The few of them chatted like this for the whole afternoon. The two brothers Meng Shaoqing were very humble and they soon became familiar with each other.
Feng Zhaoyun looked around and said mysteriously, "By the way, Shaoqing brother, I heard that your Yue Kingdom's new emperor has ascended the throne and His Highness Nangong Shang has died. Do you have any palace secrets to tell us? Ah Zi is eager to hear them."
At this moment, Meng Youli glanced at Meng Shaoqing inconspicuously. Meng Shaoqing put down his teacup and curled his lips, "Sister A Zi, His Highness Nangong Shang was the God of War of our Yue Kingdom. He died suddenly. How could a commoner like me know such palace secrets?"
Bai Xiyue also became interested and asked quietly, "Didn't they say that Xiao Qingyue teamed up to kill him?"
Meng Shaoqing half closed his eyes, and after a long moment, he said, "That's indeed the case..."
After getting the answer, Bai Xiyue propped her chin up in thought, "I can go to the palace tonight to see Xiao Qingyue. I'm really looking forward to it."
As if she had thought of something, Bai Xiyue glanced at Ah Zhen and explained deliberately, "Actually... I'm just interested in who can kill the Moon Country's God of War. That's all. I don't have any other intentions."
At this time, Meng Shaoqing chuckled, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Our Majesty in the palace does not want to hear such words. I have already said that this is a palace secret."
Before long, it was almost nightfall.
Outside the Meng Mansion, people from the Shang Kingdom suddenly arrived.
The guard came in to report, "Your Highness, the Second Prince of Shang has sent someone to pick up Divine Doctor A Zi, saying it's time for her to enter the palace."
Feng Zhaoyun also stood up at this time, "Sister Xiyue, Brother Shaoqing, you two can chat, I have to leave now, see you at the dinner."
Having said that, he left the Meng Mansion, got on Shang Guo's carriage, and returned to the envoy's residence.
