Extra Chapter 49: Finale
Meng Yuncheng didn't expect that his vest would fall off unexpectedly in such a scene.
He looked down at his little daughter who was still aggrieved, and couldn't help but stroke his forehead.
Then he looked at the students who were still waiting for answers hopefully, exhaled, nodded and said, "Yes, I am Mr. Shanju."
After saying that, before everyone could ask their doubts, he squatted down and said to Mianmian, "Where is your big rabbit, Prince Zheng, right? Daddy will go get it back for you right now."
Mianmian nodded heavily, "Then let's go, dad."
Meng Yuncheng let go of her, glanced helplessly at Shu Yu, then turned and left.
He left in a hurry and didn't go anywhere else but Haina Tea House.
Sure enough, someone was waiting for him outside the teahouse. When they saw him coming, they immediately led him in to see Prince Zheng.
The lights inside Haina Teahouse are brightly lit, but there is not a single customer.
Prince Zheng was sitting on the platform in the center of the lake where the students debated during the day. There were tables and chairs on the platform for eating, and candles were all around, making it very bright.
Seeing Meng Yuncheng, Prince Zheng immediately stood up and said with a polite smile, "Mr. Meng Shan... no, I should call you Mr. Shanju. I have admired your name for a long time. I have been waiting here for a long time, and you are here as expected."
Meng Yuncheng was silent for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I came here because I want to get my things back."
"It's natural. I said I would keep it for you, so I must keep it well." Prince Zheng waved his hand, and someone came out behind him carrying a tray. The tray was covered with silk cloth, and there was a scroll on the silk cloth.
"Mr. Shanju, this is your painting. Now it returns to its original owner."
Meng Yuncheng was silent for another moment. He raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, is my daughter's big white rabbit bag...still there?"
Prince Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately nodded, "Of course I will."
Meng Yuncheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Prince Zheng, "..." Feelings, why are you running over in such a hurry at such a late hour just to get your daughter's weird bag?
You didn't even look at that painting, but you just remembered it?
He asked his servant to take out the bag and hand it to Meng Yunzheng, "Don't worry, Mr. Shanju, everything is still there."
Meng Yuncheng took the bag and then picked up the scroll on the tray. He had given this scroll to Mianmian, so naturally he had to take it home intact and not leave it behind.
When Prince Zheng saw him accepting everything, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Shanju, I have already seen this new work of yours. Of course, I have also seen the two paintings by Lu Ji. I think... …”
"Your Majesty." Meng Yuncheng interrupted him embarrassedly, "I know that Your Majesty expresses his love for poetry and painting, and he has quite a lot of insights into this aspect. It's just that it's too late today. My daughter misses her White Rabbit bag very much. She won't see her until she sees her. She is willing to sleep. So, I have to send the bag back to her first. How about I have a long talk with the prince another day? "
Prince Zheng could see how much he loved his little princess.
Thinking about it, Meng Yunzheng left the palace very late today, and he was probably tired.
"Okay, sir, come over at any time. I will sweep the bed and wait for you."
"Farewell."
Meng Yunzheng took the bag and the scroll and left, and the carriage drove back to the inn where they were staying.
This time he entered the inn, and the students who were in the lobby had already gone back to their rooms to rest.
Meng Yuncheng quietly returned to his room and saw Mianmian still waiting there.
