Rebirth: The First Daughter and the Ruthless Concubine

Huanyan came back soon, saying that she had sent the medicine to the kitchen, and ordered them to boil it and deliver it to Qingcheng.

Meng Wan nodded, and in the evening, she went to Liuli Garden where Qingcheng lived.

Liuli Garden is the courtyard next to Furong Pavilion. It was also for the convenience of Lian Cheng to take care of Qing Cheng, so she was specially allowed to live here.

When Meng Wan left, there was no one in the yard. Thinking that Qingcheng might have taken some medicine and fell asleep, she quietly entered the door.

The door was ajar. Meng Wan took a step forward and looked in through the crack in the door. Through the curtain, she could vaguely see Qingcheng standing in front of the window with her hands behind her back. On her hand was a delicate porcelain medicine bowl.

The smell of medicine came out from the door, and it was a bit bitter. Meng Wan couldn't help but feel

She frowned, thinking that this medicine smelled so bitter, and it would taste even worse when she drank it, so she prepared to order someone to prepare candied fruits for Qingcheng, but when she was about to turn around, she saw someone in the room.

Suddenly he raised his hand and threw the medicine bowl towards the ground.

"Pa--" The fragments shattered into pieces. At the same time, Qingcheng also turned around. Only now did Meng Wan see her expression clearly. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her brows were furrowed, and her lips were pursed.

It was tight and seemed extremely angry.

One pair of eyes in particular were full of hatred, and they fell coldly on the torn pieces on the ground, as if they were about to eat people alive.

Under such a look, Meng Wan couldn't help but shudder. The sudden chill in her heart made her panic. She didn't understand why Qingcheng had that look, why she broke the bowl of medicine, or why she broke the bowl of medicine.

Full of resentment, could it be that...such resentment is towards Meng Wan?

But why? She asked herself that she had never met this woman before, and even if she hated her, it was not her turn. So, what was going on?

With this question in mind, she went back to the room, still full of doubts. When Huangfu Mi came back, she asked the question: "Have I done something that makes Miss Qingcheng annoying?"

This question obviously made Huangfu Mi stunned for a moment, then he smiled slightly, put his arms around Meng Wan's waist and leaned into his arms, saying: "Why do you ask this? You are strangers, why does she hate you?"

"But during the day, I saw her throwing away the medicine I sent someone to prepare. If she doesn't hate me, then why?"

Huang Fumi was stunned by the question. At this moment, he didn't know how to explain it. After pondering for a long time, he said, "Maybe the medicine is too bitter? She was most afraid of taking medicine before."

Meng Wan said this, but she didn't believe it at all. If it was just because she was afraid of hardship, she could have tried something else, but after breaking the medicine bowl, she still had that ferocious look on her face. She wouldn't believe it no matter what.

Nothing happened.

"Do you think she has recovered her memory? Could it be that she is hostile to me because she likes you, or maybe it's because..."

She bit her lip. The more she thought about it, the more she felt there was something wrong. She thought about several possibilities and tried to speak out. However, before she finished speaking, there was a burst of rapid footsteps around the door, followed immediately by Qingcheng's voice.

Came: "Your Majesty, are you back?"

Meng Wan was stunned for a moment. In her surprise, the door of the room had been pushed open. Before she and Huangfu Mi could respond, Qingcheng had already entered uninvited and ignored Meng Wan's frown.

He rushed to Huangfumi and said, "Didn't you promise yesterday that you would tell me about the past today?"

So as soon as I heard that the prince was back, I hurried over. What should I say today? I remember yesterday that when I was thirteen years old, I lost the most precious jade pendant. The prince

In order to help me find it, I didn’t sleep for two days and two nights, and I turned over Lingyin Mountain all over..."

Meng Wan's face darkened. At this moment, Liancheng came in from outside. While tugging on Qingcheng's sleeves, he said: "Sister, please stop making trouble. Your Majesty is very busy. How can I have time to tell you those old things? What do you think?"

I know, how about you go to my room and I can explain it to you?"

"No! I have to listen to the prince, I don't want you!" Qingcheng shook her head, her little face wrinkled together, and she pressed against Huangfu Mi's chest, refusing to leave even if she lived.

That pitiful look was a bit unbearable to see. When Huangfu Mi saw this, he patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "But I will accompany the princess back to the Prime Minister's Mansion later, so I'm afraid I won't be able to give it to you.

I told you. What’s more, I can’t remember many things clearly. Liancheng’s memory has always been good. It’s better to ask her to tell you about it than to talk about it randomly because I can’t remember it.”

"But..." When she heard the words "Prime Minister's Mansion", Qingcheng's body trembled, but only for a moment, she returned to her usual weak posture, pulling Huang Fumi's sleeves and refusing to let go.

Seeing this, Liancheng hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Qingcheng's hand, and tried to pull it off Huangfu Mi's sleeve, but it was in vain. Qingcheng held on tightly and refused to let go.

Liancheng had no choice but to comfort her softly: "Sister, be obedient. The prince has already said that he will accompany the princess back to the palace. Please stop disturbing them and follow me back quickly. Be good -"

"But I..."

"Since Miss Qingcheng wants to hear about the past, why not go to the front hall, call Puyang and Hua Jiuye, and talk about your past together. Anyway, I want to hear it too, and it will be fun for everyone together."

Seeing Qingcheng's constant obstruction, Meng Wan knew that she would not be able to return home today, so she simply made a generous proposal without arguing with her.

Qingcheng was obviously stunned, and naturally wanted to refuse instinctively. However, before the words could be spoken, Huangfumi had already taken the first step and said: "But Wan'er, today is the birthday of the third sister. If you don't go back, that girl..."

"It doesn't matter. At worst, I can make up for her birthday gift tomorrow and coax her. It'll be fine."

"In that case, Liancheng, go and call Puyang and Hua Jiuye to the front hall. You and Qingcheng will also go over. I will change my clothes and arrive shortly afterwards."

Liancheng glanced at Meng Wan apologetically, but didn't say much. He just pulled Qingcheng and left hurriedly. After they left, Huangfu Mi just hugged Meng Wan from behind, kissed her on the ear, and said

: "Actually, I should go back and not follow Qingcheng's wishes, but I always feel that she saved my life, and now it's like this. If I don't follow her in everything, I will feel uneasy."

Meng Wan didn't know what he was thinking, so she didn't even go back for Xiao Yun'er's birthday, just to make him feel better. However, she didn't know whether it was right or not, and what did Qingcheng want to do!

Afterwards, a few people gathered in the front hall to chat. Because they were all familiar with each other, there was no problem because of their status or anything. When they talked about their childhood, everyone seemed very interested.

, but only Qingcheng, who wanted to know what happened in the past the most, was a little uninterested. Watching Hua Jiuye's talk with a beaming face, she quietly left her seat.

"Qingcheng girl——"

For most of the morning, apart from listening to people's stories, Meng Wan spent more energy observing Qingcheng. Naturally, she found that her interest was not in listening to everyone talk about things, so she became more and more suspicious. She had previously proposed to talk about it.

What happened in the past was just wanting to be alone with Huangfu Mi.

"Princess, why are you out too?"

Seeing that it was Meng Wan, Qingcheng was obviously stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head, saying something softly.

"Because I have something to ask you, I followed you out."

Qingcheng was stunned again: "Is something wrong?"

Meng Wan nodded, walked up to her with a smile, then raised his eyes, looked straight into her eyes, stared into her eyes, and said word by word: "Miss Qingcheng, you really have no memory.

Recover?"

Qingcheng froze, then she smiled and said softly: "Why do you ask, Princess? Of course my memory has not been restored, otherwise why would I pretend to have amnesia?"

"Yes, I think so too. Otherwise, if you are just pretending to have amnesia, your purpose would be really questionable." Meng Wan smiled calmly, but her eyes were fixed on her face.

, not missing any subtle expression, and when she saw her eyes flickering, she quickly turned her head away, and then Meng Wan said again: "By the way, I just forgot to ask you, how have you lived in the past two years?

Are you just going to beg everywhere?"

"No, I used to do chores for others in the Sichuan and Sichuan areas. Then there was a snowstorm two years ago, so I followed others to beg and came to the capital."

Sichuan and Sichuan areas?

"Then you must have eaten Huainanzi braised fish head? I heard it is delicious, but I have never had the opportunity to taste it, just because it is a specialty of Sichuan and Sichuan." Meng Wan heard this, her eyebrows raised, and she was thinking.

After a while, he tentatively opened his mouth.

Qingcheng was stunned again, then nodded hurriedly, and said with a slight smile: "That's natural, Huainanzi roasted fish head, I often ate it at that time."

A trace of surprise flashed in Meng Wan's eyes, but only for a moment, and then she regained her composure. Without saying anything more, she just told Qingcheng to go back early, then turned around and headed towards the front hall.

Behind her, Qingcheng had already put away her smile, staring at Meng Wan's back, clenching her fists tightly, her eyes blazing.

At noon, Huangfu Mi was taking a nap in the house, but Meng Wan was not sleepy at all. He called for the sedan chair and rode all the way into the palace.

Meng Junheng was on duty and obviously did not expect that Meng Wan would come to see him. He was so happy that he took her to his residence in the palace.

It was a side courtyard very close to Zhengyang Palace. It was for the convenience of the emperor. After Meng Wan entered, he sat down on a chair and looked around the room. Then he said: "Brother has been working in the palace for so many years. I want to

I think this is the first time I have been to your residence. It is indeed the same as your house at home, clean and tidy, and it doesn’t look like a man’s place at all.”

"In your eyes, a man's house should be dirty and messy?" Meng Junheng poured her a cup of tea, sat down next to her, listened to what she said, and joked with a smile.

Meng Wan also smiled slightly, raised the corners of her lips, and curved her eyes into a crescent shape, saying: "Logically speaking, it should be like that, but my eldest brother is not one of those ordinary sloppy men, so how can he be treated in the same way?"

The playful tone made Meng Junheng smile. He instinctively stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, but his hand stopped in mid-air and took it back. It seemed that he suddenly remembered that the sister he had always loved had been married long ago, and he would not have any intimacy with her anymore.

All actions are inappropriate.

So he picked up his jade cup, took a sip of tea and put it down, then said: "By the way, you and I have not seen each other for a long time since we got married. I didn't even have time to ask you, how is the prince treating you? You are in the palace, no

Are you being bullied?"

Still speaking in the same gentle tone as before, Meng Wan listened and nodded slightly. Thinking of Huangfu Mi, a smile appeared on her lips: "Of course everything is fine, no one dares to bully me, but..."

Only then did I remember the purpose of this trip, and the smile just now became less clear.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her sudden change in expression, Meng Junheng asked hurriedly.

Meng Wan then told the whole story about Qingcheng. At the end, she looked at Meng Junheng and said: "So, brother, I always feel that there is something wrong with her. Today, I specially tested her with Huainanzi's roasted fish head. It's clearly Ganzhou."

She said she had eaten the food in this area in Sichuan, which really makes people suspicious, so brother, I want you to help me check it secretly to see what her purpose is."

"It's not that difficult, but...since you doubt her, why don't you tell the prince and ask him to send someone to check her carefully, wouldn't it be better than me?"

Meng Wan shook her head: "Huangfu Mi believes in her. After all, she is his savior, so I don't want to make him unhappy because of my doubts. It's better to check it out by myself. If there is no problem, that's the best. If

If there is really a problem, it’s not too late to tell him then.”

Thinking of Huangfu Mi everywhere, Meng Junheng listened quietly and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. At this time, he looked at Meng Wan and saw that the long hair that had previously been scattered had been tied up, which was a sign of being a married woman.

At this moment, he seemed to truly believe that the little Wan'er who had been by his side since childhood had grown up, and as a woman, she would no longer belong to him.

This thought made him feel disappointed for a while. Looking at her beautiful face with crooked eyebrows, he was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

---

In the next few days, Meng Junheng followed Meng Wan's instructions and placed a person in the palace to secretly watch Fu Qingcheng.

There was no movement for several days. On the night of the fifth day, someone suddenly came to see Meng Wan.

Meng Wan recognized that it was the person Meng Junheng secretly planted in the palace. He sent everyone back and asked Huanyan to watch from outside. She called the person in and said, "Have you found anything?"

The man nodded: "Princess, I just saw the girl slipping out of the palace through the back door. My servant followed and saw her going to the eldest prince's palace."

Meng Wan was startled and stood up suddenly: "The First Prince's Mansion?"

Immediately, she sent someone to invite the prince. She took the people with her and followed Meng Junheng's people to the eldest prince's mansion first.

She didn't act rashly, she just asked people to guard around the prince's residence. It wasn't until Huangfu Mi came over that she greeted him: "Huangfu Mi——"

Huangfu Mi frowned visibly and looked at Meng Wan with some confusion: "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"Someone saw Miss Qingcheng coming to the First Prince's Mansion, so I asked someone to come over and take a look, and even brought you here, just to show you that there is definitely something wrong with her."

Meng Wan believed in her eldest brother very much, and those who believed in her eldest brother swore by these words.

Huangfu Mi frowned: "What are you talking about? When I came here just now, Qingcheng had already returned home, and she ran into me. She said that Liancheng wanted to eat jujube cake, and she went out of the house to buy it."

These words made Meng Wan stunned for a moment. She looked at Huang Fumi and then turned to her elder brother. She was a little confused for a moment and didn't understand what was going on. However, the man had already knelt down with a plop and kowtowed hurriedly: "Princess,

I have really seen it with my own eyes, and there is absolutely no lie in it. Please be aware of it, Princess."

At this moment, Meng Wan was really confused, but Huangfu Mi's face had turned cold. He looked at Meng Wan and said, "Don't tell me that you still doubt Qingcheng and send people to follow her."

"I..." She was indeed doubting it, but what could Meng Wan say? She knew that Huangfu Mi must be angry at tonight's commotion, angry that she sent someone to follow Qingcheng, and angry that she didn't

Discuss with him, but she really doesn't want him to be embarrassed, so she does such a thing in private, and her original intention is for his own good!

---

This was the first quarrel between the two since they met. No one was willing to give in. When they returned to the palace, Qingcheng had been waiting there for a long time, as if she didn't know anything. Meng Wan became more and more angry as she watched, so she simply refused.

He paid attention, turned around and went back to his room.

---

That night, Huangfu Mi spent the night in the study. Meng Wan was also angry and ignored him. She originally thought that he would come to her on the second day, but she didn't expect him to come back after waiting for a whole day.

, on the contrary, it was the eldest brother who felt uneasy after hearing what the man reported about last night, so he came to the palace to inquire in person.

What else could Meng Wan say, but she just wanted to reassure her eldest brother, so she pushed him away. When Meng Junheng left, Meng Wan called Huanyan and said, "Where is the prince now?"

She thought, she might as well talk to him first. Anyway, there were no worries between husband and wife. What's more, he couldn't be entirely blamed for what happened last night. Even if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it was inevitable that he wouldn't believe it.

, not to mention that it was indeed too much to send people to monitor Qingcheng without Huangfu Mi's consent.

Huan Yan didn't say anything, she just looked at Meng Wan and hesitated to speak.

Meng Wan looked a little puzzled: "Where is it? Talk!"

"I'm...I'm..." Huanyan lowered her head, as if hesitating whether to say it or not. Meng Wan saw her hesitating and became more and more anxious, and urged her again, and Huanyan whispered: "

Just now, my servant watched him go to Liuli Garden. It is said that Miss Qingcheng didn't sleep well last night, and now she has a headache again. She can't see the prince..."

At the end of the sentence, her voice became lower and lower, especially when she saw Meng Wan's pale face, she was so frightened that she lowered her head in haste: "This slave deserves to die!"

Meng Wan waved her hands, feeling depressed and unexplainable.

Fortunately, she still wanted to apologize first. It was good for him that he ran away to Liulicuan again and ignored himself. Who is his wife?

At this moment, someone outside announced that the third lady was here, and Meng Wan just suppressed the sadness on her face and managed a smile.

In any case, she couldn't let others worry. What's more, if Xiao Yun'er knew about it, she would definitely go back and tell her father and aunt, and then they would have to worry.

"Sister--" At this moment, Xiao Yun'er had already trotted in and threw herself into Meng Wan's arms.

The weather was already in June, the coolness of spring had faded away, and there was a faint heat. Xiao Yun'er seemed to be running in a hurry. She was sweating all over her body, especially her forehead, which was covered with sweat beads. Meng Wan took the handkerchief.

I wiped it for her, and seeing her little face flushed, I couldn't help but yelled: "Why do you know how to run away? I'm going to make you hot. What's the big deal? You can't just walk away."

"What's more, if it's not because of you, sister, why don't you go home for someone else's birthday?"

It's okay if I don't say it, but when I mention it, Xiao Yun'er gets angry, pinches her waist and pouted, as if she's asking for punishment.

The childish look made Meng Wan purse her lips and smile. He stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek and said, "I have something to do that day, but haven't I already asked someone to give you a birthday gift? Why are you still losing your temper?"

"A birthday gift is a birthday gift. I want you and your brother-in-law to go there. Can they be the same?"

That's right. After all, Meng Wan had been with Xiao Yun'er every year for her birthday. It was inevitable that the little girl would be angry now.

I had no choice but to clasp my hands together and beg for mercy: "Sister, I know I was wrong. I won't do it next time. You're an adult and don't remember the faults of a villain. Can you please forgive me this time?"

Xiao Yun'er's eyebrows lit up: "It's okay to forgive me, but you have to ask someone to catch a few small carp for me to take home and raise."

This is what this girl had in mind.

Meng Wan gave her an angry look, "I really shouldn't have taken you to see it. I actually had my mind set on Thousand Carp Pond. But we have agreed that we will only give you two. I am worried that I will die if you take them back."

"

"I know, I know." Xiao Yun'er stuck out her tongue, pulled Meng Wan to stand up, and the two of them went to Qianli Pond, pushing and shouting.

The weather was just right, it was mid-morning, neither cold nor hot, Xiao Yun'er ran very fast, Meng Wan followed not far behind, and when they reached the outskirts of Qianli Pond, before they could go in, they heard

A cheerful laughter came from inside: "Look, my lord, I caught it..."

Meng Wan's body stiffened and she couldn't move, especially when she looked through the shadow of the trees and saw the figure standing by the pool at the other end of the garden with hands behind her back. Her beautiful eyebrows suddenly frowned.

Huangfu Mi, Fu Qingcheng!

All the color on her face disappeared in an instant, and annoyance suddenly appeared on her forehead. At this moment, she really wanted to get angry on the spot, but she knew she couldn't, so she could only stand there with gritted teeth, watching coldly.
