Quick Wear Dream Qiqi
Chapter 166: Demons and Monsters 10
After Shangguan Qian left, Meng Qiqi did not leave the pavilion, but continued to drink tea alone in the pavilion.
Meng Qiqi shook her head slightly and sighed in her heart: Shangguan Qian is really impatient and left so soon.
But that's okay, it saves me from wasting my time.
She picked up the teacup, took a sip, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
After all, she had seen many people like Shangguan Qian in Wufeng.
They are nothing more than some cruel, conceited and pretentious guys.
Meng Qiqi thought that a truly capable person would not expose his emotions as easily as he did.
After drinking tea, Meng Qiqi stood up and straightened her dress.
She still proceeded according to her original plan and could not disrupt her rhythm because of Shangguan Qian's suspicion.
After all, whether in Gongmen or Wufeng, one can only survive by relying on oneself.
After Meng Qiqi returned to the room, she walked straight to the bed and sat down.
At this time, a maid came in with a bowl of steaming medicine.
The maid carefully handed the medicine to Meng Qiqi and said, "Miss Meng, this is your medicine. Please drink it while it's hot."
Meng Qiqi took the medicine bowl and looked at the medicine in the bowl carefully.
The potion was dark black in color and had a faint bitter smell.
She frowned slightly, but picked up the bowl of medicine without hesitation and drank it all.
After drinking the medicine, Meng Qiqi felt nauseous, but she suppressed the discomfort and said to the maid, "Take the bowl away."
The maid nodded, took the empty bowl, and left the room.
Meng Qiqi sat quietly on the bed, closed her eyes, and adjusted her breathing.
She knew that Gong Yuanzheng had the maid brew this bowl of medicine every day. Although it was bitter and difficult to swallow, it was good for her body.
In the palace gate, she used to think that except for Gong Yuanzheng, almost everyone was in love, and now Gong Yuanzheng was no exception.
On the other side, after Gong Yuanzheng finished chatting with Gong Shangjiao, he specially returned to Zhenggong from Jiaogong with a faint smile on his face.
After a while, Gong Yuanzheng came to Meng Qiqi's room.
He knocked on the door first, then walked gently into Meng Qiqi's room and saw her savoring the exquisite pastries with a focused and peaceful look on her face.
Gong Yuanzheng walked over to her with a smile, gently stroked her head, then sat opposite her, picked up a piece of cake and handed it to her gently.
Meng Qiqi took the pastry, and their eyes met. Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were full of pampering and love.
Then, Gong Yuanzheng took Meng Qiqi's hand and led her to the dining table in the hall: "Miss Meng, I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dish for lunch today. Come and try it."
The table was filled with exquisite dishes and the aroma was fragrant.
Meng Qiqi smiled, nodded, and sat down.
Gong Yuanzheng kept picking up food for Meng Qiqi. The two of them ate and chatted in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
During the meal, Gong Yuanzheng noticed that Meng Qiqi seemed a little absent-minded, so he asked with concern, "Miss Meng, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?"
Meng Qiqi shook her head and smiled, "Nothing, just a little tired."
Gong Yuanzheng looked at her lovingly: "Then you should have a good rest. If you need anything, just tell me."
Meng Qiqi's heart softened and she nodded.
She knew that it was not easy to receive such care and attention in this palace.
After lunch, Gong Yuanzheng chatted with Meng Qiqi for a while and then left.
Meng Qiqi lay on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
She noticed that Gong Yuanzheng's feelings towards her were gradually changing, and this change made her both hopeful and unhopeful.
The hope is that Gong Yuanzheng will be beneficial to her plan.
What I don’t want is to get into trouble again.
————Time flies, and a month passes like flowing water.
In the blink of an eye, she had been at the palace gate for more than a month.
During this period, she observed Gong Yuanzheng's daily routine.
However, her move made Gong Yuanzheng very happy.
That day, Meng Qiqi accidentally discovered that Gong Yuanzheng was concentrating on making lanterns for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
His technique was skillful and his expression was focused, as if he was creating a work of art.
The lanterns are beautifully shaped, painted with various patterns, and emit a warm glow.
Meng Qiqi stood in the corridor and watched quietly, with a strange emotion welling up in her heart.
She knew that this lantern was carefully prepared by Gong Yuanzheng for Gong Shangjiao, and she didn't expect that Gong Yuanzheng had such a delicate heart.
He was not as cold-blooded as he appeared in front of Gong Shangjiao.
However, Meng Qiqi quickly regained her composure.
Gong Yuanzheng on the other side seemed to notice Meng Qiqi's gaze. He raised his head with a hint of surprise and expectation in his eyes.
He smiled and waved to Meng Qiqi, motioning her to come over.
Meng Qiqi hesitated for a moment, but finally stepped forward.
Gong Yuanzheng said softly, "Miss Meng, how about you come and take a look at this lantern?"
Meng Qiqi looked at the lantern carefully and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, you did a great job."
Gong Yuanzheng smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. If you like it, why don't we make one together?"
Meng Qiqi was a little surprised, but nodded.
The two of them selected materials and drew patterns together, cooperating very well.
In the process of making lanterns, Gong Yuanzheng and Meng Qiqi became closer and closer, and their communication became more natural and intimate.
Before they knew it, the lantern was finished. It was like a bright moon, illuminating the smiles of the two people.
Gong Yuanzheng held a lantern and walked carefully in front, with Meng Qiqi following closely behind.
They passed through many quiet paths and finally arrived at the Corner Palace.
In front of the Corner Palace gate, two guards stood upright.
Gong Yuanzheng winked at them and the guard opened the door.
Walking into the Corner Palace, you will find it decorated in a solemn and dignified manner.
Gong Yuanzheng brought Meng Qiqi to a spacious hall. When they opened the door, they saw Gong Shangjiao sitting on a chair with a serious expression.
Gong Yuanzheng stepped forward and handed the lantern to Gong Shangjiao, saying, "Brother, this is the lantern that Miss Meng and I made together. I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
Gong Shangjiao took the lantern, looked at it carefully, and a smile of relief appeared on his face.
He looked at Gong Yuanzheng, then at Meng Qiqi, with a hint of deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
"Very good, you have done a great job." Gong Shangjiao said, "You should come to the dinner tonight."
Gong Yuanzheng and Meng Qiqi exchanged a glance and replied in unison, "Thank you, brother."
"Thank you, Mr. Horn."
As night falls, the Corner Palace is brightly lit.
In the evening, the table was filled with delicious food and wine.
Gong Yuanzheng, Meng Qiqi, Gong Shangjiao and Shangguan Qian sat together.
Shangguan Qian watched Meng Qiqi and Gong Yuanzheng interacting so frequently that she felt aggrieved. So, she smiled and said to Meng Qiqi, "Miss Meng is really good at this. She's charmed Brother Yuanzheng so quickly."
Meng Qiqi sneered after hearing this and responded, "Miss Shangguan, that's funny. Master Zheng and I are just collaborating on making lanterns. How can you say I'm using some trickery?"
Shangguan Qian pretended to be wronged and said, "Don't be angry, Miss Meng. I was just joking. But Brother Yuanzheng is the object of many girls' admiration outside the palace. Miss Meng, you must seize the opportunity."
Meng Qiqi replied unyieldingly, "If Miss Shangguan truly wishes you well, there's no need to say these words. I believe Master Zheng has his own judgment and won't be easily fooled by appearances."
Seeing Meng Qiqi defending him, Gong Yuanzheng just watched the show from the side and ignored Shangguan Qian's words.
Gong Shangjiao, looking overwhelmed, saw that the two men were about to continue their tit-for-tat confrontation, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Alright, alright, today is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's all be cheerful. Come, let's raise our glasses and wish everyone a happy holiday!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
At the dinner, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and everyone was chatting and laughing while enjoying the food.
However, Shangguan Qian was secretly comparing herself with Meng Qiqi in her heart, and she was determined to win over Gong Shangjiao during this period of time.
