Chapter 76

It has been almost a year since Su Yan last saw Meng Hezhi.

She thought that if Meng Hezhi could finish first, the two of them would never have a chance to see each other again, but she happened to bump into him outside the Zichen Palace.

Meng Hezhi, wearing a green official robe, stood aside respectfully to avoid. Su Yan thought she had seen it wrong, but who knew it was really him. After hesitating for a moment, Su Yan walked away faster. If Xu Mohuai knew that she and Meng Hezhi knew each other, he didn't know how many things would happen.

Meng Hezhi kept looking at Su Yan's back, still feeling dazed in his heart. He actually saw his old friend from Youzhou here. How could Qin Yan, an ordinary girl, appear in the palace in gorgeous clothes?

Meng Hezhi was puzzled, but the other party seemed unwilling to recognize him, so he had no choice but to leave sadly. I happened to bump into Song Ruo on the road and saluted her.

"Meng Hezhi?" Song Ruo had a smile in his eyes. "Why are you still in the palace if you're not in a hurry to go home?"

Meng Hezhi was teased by her and was too embarrassed to look at her. "Your Majesty summoned your subordinates, and it only took a moment."

A few days ago, when the rebels were attacking the palace, Meng Hezhi and Song Ruo met several times. They happened to be from poor backgrounds, so they could exchange a word or two. . Especially after his impassioned message came out, Song Ruo would mention it every time he met him,

"I am also going to see the emperor brother. Did he say that he would promote you?" Song Ruo was older than Meng Hezhi. When he was two years old, I heard that he was often ostracized by the nobles at Yushitai, so I couldn't help but pay more attention to him. Who would have thought that Meng Hezhi, looking at Qingjun's gentleness and kindness, would be very harsh when he scolded people.

When Meng Hezhi heard her mention this, there was a hint of joy in his eyebrows, and he said: "Your Majesty seems to have this meaning in his words." "

Then congratulations in advance."

Hanyi can be promoted so quickly, it is considered that he Taking advantage of the opportunity to suppress the gentry, Xu Mohuai happened to appreciate him. Meng Hezhi and Song Ruo were able to talk because their situations were somewhat similar. They were also in a strange place, had no familiar relatives and friends, and were secretly despised and belittled by the nobles. This situation also gave them a sense of sympathy for each other.

——

"If Hanxiang Hall doesn't suit your liking, you can choose another one you like." Xu Mohuai heard Su Yan's voice, put down the book and looked up at her.

As soon as Su Yan returned to the palace, she was put into an expensive skirt, her hair was tied up in a bun, and she put on a golden crown and a walking robe, and her emerald beads swayed with her steps. Although she had been taught manners before, she could not learn how to behave. Standing next to those noble ladies from scholarly families, she was immediately dwarfed by them. Now that she has been away for nearly two years, she has completely forgotten everything she learned in the past.

Seeing Su Yan's shoulders slumped and sitting unruly, Xu Mohuai knocked on the desk and reminded her: "Sit upright." Su Yan

was lost in thought and didn't hear what he just said. He knocked on the table. It brought back my thoughts.

"What did your Majesty just say?"

Xu Mohuai then knew what she was thinking about and asked: "What were you thinking about just now? I didn't hear you when I spoke to you."
