Although I scolded Meng Bijun so much in my heart, I couldn't let Hong, the waiter from Xinshou Palace, run away, so I got up with a sigh and asked Sheng Xiang to accompany the waiter to the flower hall for tea. I took the time to freshen up and dress myself up.
After a long while, Sheng Weiqiao saw Meng Bijun in the side hall of Xinshou Palace. He looked at the embarrassment on the tenth day of the first lunar month. At that time, the injuries on Meng Bijun's face had faded. After lightly applying makeup to cover it up, even if he was outdoors, Tian Guangdong looked carefully, but it was not easy to see.
She was wearing a lilac color with beaded pearls, a pattern, narrow sleeves and a collar, an Eastern pea green pleated skirt with falling flowers and flowing brocade, and a narrow belt of gold bird, Ganoderma lucidum and red jade tied around her waist, which looked pretty and refreshing. The most rare thing is that Fu Jing's spirit is obviously different from before. His eyes are burning, and although he is still cold and cold when he looks around, it is not the kind of indifference that repels people thousands of miles away, but a kind of aloofness. Be reserved.
Fortunately, that kind of aloofness is not wrong for Sheng Weiqiao.
Sheng Weiqiao just entered the palace and was about to bow to salute, but she came quickly to support her and said seriously: "He said before that a great kindness will never be forgotten! How can Ruming accept my courtesy? It's his fault. Can you kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to thank me?"
"I beg you to do it seriously. He won't dare to come to see me again." Seeing her sincere expression, Sheng Weiqiao stopped forcing him to greet her and said with a smile, "Look at how good I look tomorrow. I want to come to the Queen Mother's place." She is living a good life, but after all, the place where the Queen Mother lives can support people."
"Stir!" "Meng Bijun waved her legs to order all the guests in the side hall to leave. Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao also asked Ju Li to leave. The two of them crossed their legs to the soft couch in front of them and walked away a few steps away. Meng Bijun did not hide anything and said straightforwardly, "That's it. In two months, the decree of canonizing him as his successor will go away. In fact, if his injury is not allowed, the matter will be announced as early as around the Lantern Festival. Don't talk about those unpleasant things now..."
She narrowed her eyes and smiled. There was some vague pride and expectation in her smile. It disappeared so quickly that it almost made people doubt whether it was an illusion. "It is precisely because of that decree that he will ask to return to Duke Zheng tomorrow." After all, you can’t accept such a decree in Xinshou Palace when you are getting married, right? He was afraid that he would come to Bu Nao after he went back, so before he hurried out of the palace, he asked me to come over and tell him to shut up!"
Sheng Wei Qiao had already known that she would become his successor.
But the news had never been kept secret before, or rather, it had never been kept secret, so Sheng Weiqiao still acted as if he had just heard it, and said in surprise: "What's next?!"
Originally, after hearing such news, after being surprised, Meng Bijun should be congratulated.
Bu Nao thought of the fifty-year-old Emperor Xuanjing. The main point was that the emperor was very fond of the Shu sisters. Sheng Weiqiao felt that the word "congratulations" was really difficult to say.
After all, what was she thinking at that time: Sorry...
"The emperor is so old, but he has no sons and a half daughters! My aunt is also very old!" Meng Bijun was indeed wrong about that matter, and he didn't mean to be happy. Hearing this, he sneered and half-explained. He vented his anger and said, "He, Meng, has become prosperous because of his status as a relative. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After enjoying the top-notch burden in that life, where can I go?" Are you willing to give up Yandong's power and status just because those two have no successors?"
"Especially during those two years, Meng's feud with King Gaomi was profound!"
"Then if Qiufu loses his power, the whole clan may not be able to win a good outcome... Can't we find a way to continue our defeat?"
"If someone who has been living as a foreign relative wants to continue their luxurious life, the most familiar way is to continue to marry the royal family and continue to have a queen mother!"
There was a lot of sarcasm in those words, and it was just as simple as other people's words, but it came from the mouth of Meng Bijun, the daughter of the Meng family, who couldn't help but feel weird.
Although Sheng Weiqiao was kind to that person, the two of them had only seen each other a few times, and had never even spoken to each other alone. So after hearing those words, he found it difficult to explain, so he smiled, changed the subject and said, "Since I'm like that Go, I really want him to come here. Do you have any urgent matters? Otherwise, he won’t dare to disturb me! Can the appointment of a queen be an important matter for the country? It will be Spring Festival, so there is no better way to treat him as an idler. Call me Are your legs and feet messy?"
Hearing this, Meng Bijun nodded and said, "I heard that at the end of every month, the first month of the Lantern Festival, our brother and sister went on a trip and met Meng Jiayan in the Night Pavilion?"
Sheng Weiqiao asked her to ask about Emperor Xuan Jing and Shu Zhaoyi, and said, "No, I really didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet the emperor that day..."
Because Emperor Xuan Jing did not ask for confidentiality that day, and to be honest, the emperor had been lingering in the harem for so many years, and no one expected him to pick himself up and become a wise king again. Therefore, for things like traveling incognito, if the emperors of the previous dynasty who were diligent in political affairs were around, many ministers might give a few words of advice. If Emperor Xuanjing was around, I am afraid that some people who were full would do it. admonish.
Therefore, Sheng Weiqiao felt that it was okay to talk about meeting the imperial concubine in the Night Pavilion that day.
Is it that Shu Zhaoyi's unreasonable troubles hindered the reputation of Emperor Xuan Jing and Shu Zhaoyi... Although these two people did not have a good reputation to speak of, the customs of the local people in Bu Nao were taboo, but it was difficult to say more.
She was thinking about the words to pick up Donglai, but Meng Bijun waved his legs and said: "He is too lazy to care about the affairs between Bidong and Shu Zhaoyi. Did he hear that Meng Jiayan made a good impression on his brother, Master Sheng, by mistake that night?" , intending to betroth my sister to him after his brother is named on the gold medal list... We should have heard about it, right? But I don’t know what you think? "
"That matter?" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment, because he was not sure what she meant. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't have any idea... After all, parents make the final decision on marriage, so don't we have to depend on the wishes of our elders?"
"As long as we don't have any ideas!" Meng Bijun nodded slightly and said, "Isn't he afraid that not long after we came to Chang'an, we didn't know the details of the Meng family and waded into the muddy water rashly! So he hurriedly invited me over before leaving the palace. In a few words, when I encounter the need to deal with the Meng family later, I have a good idea!"
Sheng Weiqiao was secretly shocked when she heard this. As the direct daughter of the Meng family, why did she sound like she was begging to sell the Meng family
Could it be that Meng Bijun took kindness so seriously that she would repay herself to the point where her natal family would have to leave
Not that much...
It's not that Sheng Weiqiao believed that Meng Bijun's so-called "great kindness and great virtue, which will never be forgotten" was a polite word, but it was because of the Meng family's fault that after all, Meng Bijun had a relationship of more than ten years of nurturing. Even if Meng Bijun wronged her because Zheng Guogong favored his concubine. That stepdaughter was far inferior to that concubine of Meng Lijiang. Meng, or in other words, Duke Zheng, had a feeling of resentment.
but…
Even if Meng Bijun had the heart to abandon her biological father, her biological mother, Mrs. Xiang, and her brother Meng Boheng are all in the Meng family!
The time when Aunt Jiaoyu was favored was about the same time as Mrs. Xiang was pregnant with Meng Bijun. In other words, from the moment she was born, the girl has been under the power of a doting concubine and lived a cautious life in the seemingly gorgeous and glamorous palace. In the house, I am dependent on my biological mother and brother!
She can seek repayment, but even her mother and brother will die
Just as he was doubting, he heard Meng Bijun continue, "Even if we want to marry the Meng family, we must not find the second room! Because there are a lot of intrigues between the Meng family, and the fights inside the second room are very fierce. Some... I remember that Gao Chengxuan, right?"
Sheng Wei Qiao Dong frowned consciously and said, "When I was at Night Pavilion, I met someone who claimed to be Mr. Gao, Bu Nao... Does that one seem to be a fake?"
"That bastard was so spoiled by his wrong parents! Ling Xintuo had his sixth brother to cover his face that day, so he said it was fake... but he himself?!" Meng Bijun frowned at her Seeing this, he sneered and said, "Do I know? That bastard did something wrong beforehand, and instead of thinking about his own mistakes, he did it even worse! The other day, he followed Mrs. Wu'an Hou to pay respects to his aunt, and he actually I wish my aunt Dong Yizhi could give me as his concubine!"
"What?!" Sheng Weiqiao's expression changed. After returning from Never Night Pavilion that night, had she ever worried about the revenge of Meng and Gao? But because there has been no movement between the two families, and even the dispute in the Night Pavilion has been silent and no rumors have been raised, Meng Jiayan, when it was only February, sent someone to deliver a gift to the door. Sheng Weiqiao expressed his intention to get married, which made Sheng Weiqiao think that Meng and Gao were worried that Gao Chengxuan's scandal in the Night Pavilion that night would be too shameful if it spread; they also planned to recruit Sheng Suihe, so they planned to expose the matter. .
Who knows, that's not the case at all
Most likely, the fact that Meng Jiayan was at home bringing gifts and hinting that he was considering betrothing his sister to Sheng Suihe could paralyze them and excuse him afterwards!
Sheng Weiqiao was frightened and her thoughts were spinning!
Meng Bijun saw this and calmed down her tone and said comfortingly: "Not to mention that he was there at the time, how could we let that beast succeed?! Even if he was not present, his aunt was absolutely wrong and would not allow him to abuse me like that. She was the legitimate daughter of an official and a gentry! He didn't even bother to ask. After his aunt heard that ridiculous request, she became furious and scolded him severely! She ordered him to go back and study behind closed doors, and he was not allowed to enter the Xinxin Palace again in the future. One step away from Shougong! Don’t even allow him to touch me!”
He added, "Because I was afraid that the matter would be spread out and it would have any impact on me, so my aunt got a silence order and no one was allowed to tell it. Otherwise, the matter is confidential, so I can rest assured!"
Sheng Weiqiao looked gloomy and said: "Thank you Miss Fourteenth, and thank you also the Queen Mother... He really didn't expect how he offended that Young Master Gao. It was just that he was rude in the Night Pavilion, but at that time he was actually very Do you want him to be his concubine?!"
"The thing about me is that he was jealous of your brother's talent and was angry with me!" Meng Bijun snorted coldly and said, "He is also stupid! I saved him, and he came alone. The nephew of Chang'an didn't know, how could the Marquis of Wu'an not know?! He and his aunt didn't thank me very much at that time. He actually said such a thing, wasn't he rushing to scold him! That idiot was so good to him! Grandma took advantage of her without knowing it, and she will die sooner or later!!!"
When it came to the last sentence, Meng Bijun's eyes flashed with clear murderous intention, but it was his blood-related nephew who had the murderous intention!
That situation made Sheng Weiqiao, who was originally angry, worried. He quickly changed his tone and spoke kindly to Gao Chengxuan: "I think that Mr. Gao was just confused for a moment. Lord, he is talented and has a good background. A group of people Hold on, young people are bound to be frivolous! His brother didn’t enter the house until he was seventeen years old, so he is probably not much better than him! In the end, he is my nephew, but it hurts to reject him without asking. It has harmed the harmony of our family!”
She must be worried because the tragedies of Meng Boheng, Rong Qingzui, Jiao Yu, Meng Lijiang... all came from the legs of Sheng Sleeping Crane!
