Chapter 280: It's actually a "face fan"
Mei Sheng looked up at Zhou Chang.
A pair of deer eyes shine like stars in the sea.
"Your Highness is as graceful as a startled swan, as graceful as a swimming dragon, as clear as the moon and breeze, and as clear and noble as a beacon," Mei Sheng said in admiration, "It is Mei Sheng who is not qualified to serve you."
"No, that's not what I meant..." Zhou Chang was completely confused by the praise he received for the first time and his brain couldn't process it.
Are you talking about yourself?
No, Prince Yi?
Even if it is a description of Prince Yi, is Prince Yi really that good?
Zhou Chang himself didn't believe it, and Prince Yi's consciousness didn't react at all, so she had to seek truth from facts and have self-knowledge: "Now that you know who I am, haven't you heard of my 'reputation'?"
"Your Highness is a man of high moral integrity and integrity, as can be seen from the cases of cheating in the imperial examinations and selling official positions and titles." Mei Sheng was unmoved, "How can we trust the words of those villains?"
"I'm not as good as you say." Zhou Chang really didn't know what to say.
Although she was dizzy from the praise, fortunately she still had her sanity.
Is Mei Sheng going to become a "brainless fan" of Prince Yi?
Once a person becomes a "brainless fan", he or she will become selectively blind.
Mei Sheng's eyes were full of passion, and he only looked at Zhou Chang's face, and he spoke from the bottom of his heart: "Your Highness, trust Mei Sheng. Mei Sheng can be a minor official by your side, or do something for your Highness. It's all good. Your Highness is such a god-like person, and anyone who can serve by your side will be lucky."
Zhou Chang began to doubt himself when Mei Sheng stared at him.
Isn't this kind of longing, yearning, and thirst-quenching look something that fans only had when they met their idols in the previous life?
Could it be that Mei Sheng is actually a fan of Prince Yi?
To be fair, Prince Yi is not bad looking and is her favorite type, but compared to...
Zhou Chang couldn't help but think of Wen Qingyan's face, and he began to doubt Mei Sheng's look: "Have you heard of a 'flawless gentleman' Wen Fei?"
Mei Sheng didn't hear what Zhou Chang said at all. His eyes were burning. "Your Highness, Prince Yi, Mei Sheng will do anything. As long as Your Highness wishes, Mei Sheng will not hesitate to die."
"No need to do this, no need to do this..." Zhou Chang shook his head and waved his hands.
Mei Sheng was probably confused, but she had to stay calm for Prince Yi.
"Go back today and let go of the past, as if we have never met. Otherwise, when you become an official in the future, if someone asks how we knew each other, how will you explain? You have to think about your own future, and you don't have to think about whether it's a favor or not. I did these things on a whim, and it has nothing to do with you." Zhou Chang himself didn't care, after all, he had the identity of King Yi.
But she also really didn't want to hinder Mei Sheng's future.
Meisheng opened his mouth to say something.
Zhou Chang waved his hand again and sent him away: "Go ahead and live a good life."
"No..." Mei Sheng suddenly knelt down again, "Mei Sheng doesn't care about reputation. If the prince needs it..."
"I don't need it." Zhou Chang took a step back in fear and quickly signaled Shouhou to help him, "Monkey, hurry up..."
Mei Sheng found it hard to accept that his hopes had been dashed.
The skinny monkey went down the stairs and tried to pull Meisheng up.
Meisheng didn't know where he got the strength from, but he was able to shake the skinny monkey off.
Kneeling on the ground, looking up at Zhou Chang, the disappointment in his big eyes turned into sadness.
He seemed to want to say something else, but in the end he held it in.
With a bang, he knocked his head to the ground and said sadly, "In this case, Your Highness Prince Yi, please accept Mei Sheng's greetings."
Zhou Chang stood still and accepted Mei Sheng's greeting.
Then, Mei Sheng stood up by himself.
Zhou Chang also said his final farewell: "Now that you have paid your respects, your wish has been fulfilled. Don't dwell on the past. Live a good life in the future. Go."
Mei Sheng said nothing more, kept his head down, bowed again, turned and left in the direction he came from.
"Alas..." Zhou Chang sighed and turned back home.
The skinny monkey followed behind and suddenly said, "Oh, my Lord, I forgot to tell you just now that the top scholar this time should be Mr. Wen."
"Ah..." Zhou Chang's mind stopped working again.
The thin monkey was afraid that his prince was a noble man who would forget things easily, so he gave another hint: "It's Miss Yuan's Mr. Wen."
Zhou Chang naturally knew it, but for some reason, he just felt uncomfortable.
The thin monkey turned around and closed the door, still talking non-stop: "Just now those scholars came to express their gratitude, and I asked them by the way, and they all said it was Master Wen, the one with the reputation of 'Master Wuxia'. Now he is even more worthy of the name. If there is no other surname Wen, plus this name, then it must be correct."
Zhou Chang listened to it, his mind was not thinking, but he felt unhappy in his heart, and it seemed as if all the strength had been drained away from him.
The thin monkey finally noticed that Zhou Chang's face was not right: "Your Majesty, Master Wen has won the first place in the imperial examination, why are you not happy?"
Zhou Chang was too lazy to answer and didn't want to climb the stairs, so he walked around the front hall and headed east.
The skinny monkey didn't get an answer, but he could imagine it himself: "Yes, Mei Sheng got a good rank and came to thank His Majesty, but why didn't Wen Gongzi come to thank you when he got the top score?"
"It's not what you think." Zhou Chang finally couldn't listen any longer and waved his hand, "You should think about it and make a few more delicious dishes for lunch."
"Prince, aren't we going out?" The skinny monkey was disappointed for a moment. How could Mother Wang's cooking skills compare to those in the restaurants outside?
Zhou Chang wanted to be alone now, so he went back to the study room and shook his head to send the skinny monkey away: "No, you go first."
"Yes, Your Highness, if your Highness needs anything, I'll be outside. Please give me your instructions." The skinny monkey has always been able to switch between disappointment and hope with ease.
After sending the skinny monkey away, Zhou Chang locked himself in the study.
I don’t know why I feel so depressed.
I thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure it out, so I just fell back in the chair and took a nap.
When I woke up, Skinny Monkey just happened to bring me lunch and dinner.
Zhou Chang couldn't swallow it after taking a few bites. Just when he wanted to take a nap on the rattan chair, he remembered a saying: "The more you sleep, the lazier you become; the more you eat, the greedier you become."
Now she has both, but I wonder if Prince Yi can keep his figure in check.
After dinner, I thought it would be better to go out for a walk. There was no need to ask the skinny monkey to prepare a carriage. It would be nice to just walk around the neighborhood.
Whenever he goes out shopping, no matter what time it is, Skinny Monkey is always happy and rubs his hands with excitement.
"Call Gao Yuan along too. He shouldn't stay in his own courtyard all the time when he has nothing to do." While Zhou Chang was talking, he had already strolled out of the study courtyard.
"Okay." The skinny monkey agreed and went to find someone.
The two walked through the corridor one after the other and turned towards the main hall.
Just as Skinny Monkey was about to split up to look for Gao Yuan, suddenly a tall and thin figure came from the west, followed by Uncle Qiu.
"Gao Yun?" Zhou Chang's brain was still trying to identify it, but the skinny monkey had already recognized it with his sharp eyes.
Zhou Chang was pleasantly surprised and surprised: "Gao Yun? Why are you back? Wasn't he with ** Hong and couldn't make it back in time for the New Year?"
