Chapter 86 Opening up to Meng Qi
Lu Qingqing's delicate body trembled and she suddenly woke up. She looked carefully and found that it was Xiaotao who had invited Meng Qi.
Meng Qi was holding a medicine box and standing in front of him with his head bowed respectfully.
Lu Qingqing rubbed her blurry eyes and quickly regained consciousness. She couldn't wait to have a hearty chat with Meng Qi.
"Xiao Tao, please go and guard outside the door first. I have something important to discuss with Doctor Meng."
Xiaotao was a little surprised.
Because Lu Qingqing had done many secret things before, but she never avoided her and Erxi.
Now, I have only known Doctor Meng for a few days, and you already have something confidential to discuss with him?
Although Xiao Tao was confused, she always trusted her master and stayed outside the door as instructed.
Lu Qingqing could finally stop hiding her excitement. Meng Qi also stopped bowing his head and looked up at Lu Qingqing.
The eyes of both of them revealed unprecedented excitement and relaxation, mixed with a little bit of mutual admiration.
Lu Qingqing's red lips trembled slightly, and she spoke first:
"Dude, when did you get here?"
Lu Qingqing's call of "Brother" instantly opened Meng Qi's defenses.
He completely relaxed and no longer had to stick to the etiquette of a subject. He simply sat down on the armchair in the room and crossed his legs naturally.
He and Lu Qingqing started chatting from the first day of their time travel.
Meng Qi was originally a Taobao shop owner. About three or four months ago, he felt dizzy due to a fever, and his soul traveled to the body of Meng Qi, an imperial physician with the same name as him.
When he woke up again, he was sitting by the medicine stove in the Imperial Hospital, cooking a pot of medicine.
After listening to his experience of traveling through time, Lu Qingqing, regardless of the delicate and ladylike image she had created in front of others, excitedly slammed the table and stood up. Even the hairpins on her head made a clashing sound due to the violent swinging of her body.
"What a coincidence! We must have come here on the same day!"
Lu Qingqing's sudden generosity instantly made Meng Qi like her even more.
He originally thought that Lu Qingqing was just a pretentious person with beautiful appearance, but he didn't expect that under the charming appearance, there was a cheerful and generous personality.
"But how do you know that I also came from the modern times?" Lu Qingqing asked with a puzzled look on her face.
This question has been lingering in her mind. She thought about it for a long time, but couldn't find out where she went wrong.
Meng Qi smiled knowingly after hearing this.
"When I first met you that day, I noticed the grilled meat iron plate outside your tent. This iron plate was very modern, and what's more, there was grilled meat wrapped in green vegetables on the table."
"At that time, I thought to myself, in this era, could it be that some clever ancient person invented such a modern way of eating in advance?"
"So, I gave you the letter, just to test you, but I didn't expect you to actually answer it!"
After listening to this, Lu Qingqing suddenly understood.
She thought about her choice of words, her manners, and her dress, but she didn't think about the plate of barbecue outside the tent.
Lu Qingqing smiled with relief and couldn't help but admire Meng Qi's careful observation.
"I didn't expect you to be so considerate!"
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation and got along better and better as they talked.
It’s like a person who has lived on an isolated island for many years suddenly finds that there is a companion on the island, and always wants to share his wonderful experience with the other person.
Lu Qingqing told him all about the concubines in the palace.
Meng Qi Ze complained to her that although he had transformed into an imperial physician, he knew nothing about medicine when he first arrived. He could only learn and practice medicine at the same time every day, and he was worried all the time.
As they chatted, Meng Qi suddenly talked about his future plans. He asked:
"I guess we won't be able to go back here for a while. What are your plans next?"
Lu Qingqing pretended to be thoughtful.
She did not hide anything else from Meng Qi, but when it came to her future plans, she always felt a little ashamed to express her wish to become queen.
So Lu Qingqing shook her head and asked Meng Qi in return.
"What about you? You don't want to be the emperor here, do you?"
After hearing this, Meng Qi curled his lips and showed a disdainful expression.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Lu Qingqing, your idea is too cliché. I don't want to be an emperor."
Lu Qingqing was not angry when she was called cliché, but her curiosity was aroused. She wanted to see what Meng Qi, who was shaking his head, was trying to do.
"You don't want to be the emperor! Then what do you want to do?"
Meng Qi snorted proudly and patted his chest confidently.
"I plan to use my modern knowledge to achieve financial freedom in ancient times! After I become rich, I will travel around the world and live a free life!"
"What I can't do in modern society, maybe I can achieve it in another era?"
After listening to what he said, Lu Qingqing felt a little admiration in her heart.
She had no idea of making money and had been through a lot of hard times since she came across this world because she had no money.
Currently, her only income in the palace is the monthly salary. Apart from that, she can only rely on Li Xuansheng's erratic rewards.
If she could join hands with Meng Qi to make a fortune, she would be able to live more confidently in the palace.
This Meng Qi is actually an interesting person. I am sure that we can have pleasant cooperation in the future.
Lu Qingqing wanted to continue chatting with him.
However, at this moment, Xiaotao's loud voice was heard from outside the door.
"My lady, Eunuch He Qing is here."
When he heard it was He Qing, Meng Qi immediately put down his crossed legs, stood up from the armchair in an instant, picked up the medicine box thrown on the ground, and put on the same well-behaved posture as before.
Lu Qingqing looked at his flustered look and tried hard to suppress her smile.
Meng Qi saw the mockery in Lu Qingqing's eyes, but he dared not speak. Who told him to travel through time and space to be just an imperial physician? When Eunuch He Qing came, he had no choice but to leave.
Lu Qingqing was quite tolerant towards this modern companion. She waited until he had sorted everything out before calling He Qing in.
"Please come in, Eunuch He Qing."
When He Qing entered the room, he happened to pass by Meng Qi and the two met face to face.
He Qing bowed to Lu Qingqing. He saw that the person who had just left was an imperial physician, so he asked Lu Qingqing:
"Mr. Ming, are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Qingqing understood what He Qing meant and quickly explained:
"Thank you for your concern, eunuch. I was just checking my pulse as usual, and I'm not feeling unwell."
He Qing then breathed a sigh of relief.
He came to convey Li Xuansheng's oral order. If Concubine Ming was unwell, he would not be able to carry out the emperor's orders.
He Qing continued with a pleasant expression:
"Your Excellency, the Emperor has ordered that dinner be served at your place. Please start preparing in advance."
After seeing He Qing off, Lu Qingqing's ears suddenly turned red as she thought about Li Xuansheng coming in the evening.
They had been traveling a lot since they started their journey, and they hadn't seen each other for several days. Even if Li Xuansheng wasn't greedy, Lu Qingqing was a little greedy for him.
