Huan Ye laughed together and said, "What else can be done? The new queen said that in this case, the concubines no longer need to go to Jingshao Hall to pay their respects. Anyway, she always likes peace and quiet and is the most impatient of being disturbed by many people. "
"It seems that's all I can say!" Sheng Weiqiao sighed. The Shu sisters were so favored that even Emperor Xuan Jing's empress was forced to death, not to mention Meng Bijun, the successor who had just entered the palace
If Meng Bijun is still the same as he was with Meng Lijiang before, taking action at the slightest disagreement... I am afraid that he will follow in the footsteps of the deposed Wen family in any minute.
So she could only endure it.
Not only did he endure it, but he also took advantage of the situation and exempted the Shu sisters and a group of concubines from paying respects from now on, so as not to be provoked by the Shu sisters one after another, and the face of the middle palace was lost; it was also a show of goodwill to Emperor Xuanjing, and Preventing the Shu sisters from complaining behind their backs increased Emperor Xuanjing's dislike of his successors, and he turned to King Gaomi in the intrigue between King Gaomi and the Meng family.
The girl frowned for a while and said, "Meng Shishi... Oh, it's time to talk about Queen Meng. The queen is protected by the Queen Mother and supported by the Meng family. Even if she temporarily bows to the Shu sisters, there is no need to worry too much. From now on. After all, as long as the Meng family wins, Xinshou Palace must be hers. However, the behavior of the Shu sisters is confusing. When they were in the Night Pavilion, Shu Zhaoyi showed off the emperor's love for her in front of everyone. It's okay to pay back your favor. Now that the two sisters are so blatantly embarrassing the queen, aren't they afraid that Meng will settle accounts with their queen?"
Huan Ye said in a cohesive voice, "Perhaps I have made an agreement with the King of Gaomi?"
Seeing what she said, Sheng Weiqiao smiled and said nothing: If the Gaomi Palace had agreed to the Shu sisters' request and adopted Rong Qingzui to Emperor Xuanjing as the crown prince, the Shu sisters would be treated like mothers, so the Shu sisters are standing here now. There is another theory on the side of the Gaomi Palace; but since this matter could not be achieved due to the opposition of the Gaomi Princess, there is no such pivot, and the Gaomi King has not shown enough advantages to overwhelm the Meng family. The Shu family Why do sisters have to make a choice so early
Aren't they afraid that something unexpected will happen and they will be deceived
"Has the Gaomi Palace already secretly told them about Sheng Suihe's life experience?" Sheng Weiqiao thought silently, "Originally, the Gaomi King had only two male heirs, and the eldest son was not allowed to succeed him. The second son Rong Qingzui was influenced by his biological mother, the Gaomi Princess. He objected, and something went wrong in Bishui County, and the possibility of succession was ruled out. Unless the King of Gaomi chose his grandchildren, there would be no heirs for the Shu sisters. How could the two parties continue to cooperate? What? As long as the Meng family is in the way, it may not be possible to adopt a son smoothly, let alone a grandchild. But now that Sheng Suihe is about to regain his identity, King Gaomi will have an additional son who can adopt him. If Princess Gaomi does not risk it again If you come out to oppose it, with the Shu sisters being so favored by the emperor... 80% of the time this matter can continue?"
Even if Princess Gaomi objects to this matter again, to be honest, Sheng Weiqiao feels that it may not be useful.
After all, Sheng Sleeping Crane has shown his indifference, alienation, and even hatred towards his biological parents not once or twice.
If this person really wants to succeed Emperor Xuan Jing as the crown prince, not to mention that Princess Gaomi objects, even King Gaomi objects, I'm afraid it will be useless... The Shu sisters can do it if they want, to put it bluntly, from the Shu sisters If we consider the other’s perspective, the more quarrels the stepson has with his biological parents, the more willing they will be to accept such a “son.”
When Sheng Weiqiao thought of this possibility, she made up her mind. She still hoped that Sheng Suihe would inherit the throne.
Apart from anything else, at least in this way, the Sheng family should not be in danger of needing to go into exile overseas.
Of course, Sheng Weiqiao also knew that such a big matter as the inheritance of the throne was not that simple.
The Prince of Gaomi didn't know what kind of grudges had happened in those years, what kind of attitude he had towards Sheng Suihe, the third legitimate son, and the Meng family who had always regarded the Sheng family brothers and sisters as not only one of their own, but also one of their own. , after knowing the truth, he will never give up... If these problems are not solved, Sheng Sleeping Crane will succeed Emperor Xuan Jing as the heir apparent and ascend to the throne in a logical way in the future.
She shook her head and stopped thinking about the matter. She asked Huan Yehe, "By the way, why did you invite me over today?"
They are talking in the back garden of Uncle Yongyi's Mansion, invited by Huan Yehe.
The reason written in Huan Ye's post for inviting them together was that he planned to hold a poetry meeting in a few months. Because Sheng Weiqiao is the biological sister of Sheng Suihe, the top ten member of Xingbang Asia, and must have a family background, so he invited her and Xu Caikui, the top ten of Xingbang Asia. Ba Xu came with Mo's sister to discuss the details.
In fact, after they arrived, Huan Yehe sent the others to other places to eat, drink and have fun. In short, they didn't bother her to talk to Sheng Weiqiao alone.
Sheng Weiqiao had her previous reminder "Don't refuse my invitation", so she naturally knew that Huan Yehe must have other intentions for this move. Now after hearing a little about Meng Bijun, she asked him directly.
To be honest, the girl has mixed feelings about meeting Huan Yehe now, because she had always thought that Huan Guanlan died because of the Shu sisters' murder. Huan Yehe's enemies were naturally Concubine Shu and Shu Zhaoyi. Those who went with Emperor Xuanjing would at most include Empress Dowager Meng, who had received favors from Huan Guanlan earlier but later failed to uphold justice for Huan Guanlan.
But I heard from Sheng Suihe that the kidnapping of Huan Guanlan was actually a plan by General Zhou's old subordinates. Sheng Weiqiao now looks at Huan Yehe who works tirelessly and wants to avenge his grandfather without even taking care of his own life-long affairs. He doesn't know. What should I say
After all, she felt that Huan Guanlan deserved it...
I had no vision and chose a weak-willed prince to come to power, and saved a faint emperor alive. He did not think about his own mistakes. Instead, in order to consolidate the throne for the faint emperor, he killed the famous commander who had been among the best in the dynasty from Dingding to the present. Even the family members are not willing to let go... What kind of old fools are these!
It is unreasonable for such people not to die!
However, it was hard for her to say this to Huan Ye, so she could only pretend to be nonchalant at the moment.
"What else can be done?" Huan Yehe raised his eyebrows and said, "Congratulations in advance for your family to have a champion... Although this champion will leave your family sooner or later."
Sheng Weiqiao frowned: "What?"
"Something happened to Gao Shaoyang." Huan Yehe took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "Didn't you hear? Oh, yes, you are living in the Hou Mansion now, and it would be inconvenient for the chief minister of Princess Wuyang to visit you. Otherwise, The chief historian must have revealed the news to you a long time ago... Gao Shaoyang's leg was broken by his cousin Meng Junyu, and his face was also scratched. Not only can he not participate in the imperial examination, he will not even be able to serve as an official in the future! "
"Meng Junyu?" Sheng Weiqiao said in surprise, "The current imperial censor? I remember that although he doesn't like Gao Shaoyang, they are direct cousins after all. The blood of Wu'an Marquis seems to have produced only one academically successful junior from Gao Shaoyang so far. ?How dare he?!"
Even though Meng Jiayan is the eldest grandson of Marquis Wu'an, Gao Shaoyang's biological mother Meng Bichen is said to be very favored by Marquis Wu'an and his wife. By doing this, isn't Meng Jiayan afraid that his grandfather and aunt will fight against him
Not to mention other things, let's just say that Marquis Wu'an has been dissatisfied with the crown prince in recent years, but he relies heavily on his second son Meng Bomei, who has a good relationship with Meng Bichen... Isn't Meng Jiayan afraid that his grandfather will change the title of crown prince in a rage
"It makes sense, why doesn't he dare?" But Huan Yehe sneered and said in a manly voice, "Who told Gao Shaoyang that he was so obsessed with sex that he actually entered the boudoir of his cousin, Meng Junyu's sister Meng Shuangyao, at night to plot evil? Meng Junyu did this. Brother, if you encounter something like this, let alone breaking Gao Shaoyang's legs or scratching his face, even if you beat him to death, it's still reasonable!"
"Although Marquis Wu An has shown preference for his second son and five daughters in recent years, Meng Junyu is the eldest grandson of Marquis Wu An after all. Marquis Wu An does not lack grandfatherly feelings for this grandson."
"Now that Meng Junyu has got Gao Shaoyang's handle, even if he knows that he did it on purpose, it would be hard for Marquis Wu An to say anything."
Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "Where are Meng Bomei and Miss Meng Wu? Especially Miss Meng Wu. It is said that Gao Shaoyang is her only male heir, and he has always been like a darling. It is probably calculated to end up like this... Is she willing to let it go?"
Huan Ye took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Of course she refused. It is said that when Gao Shaoyang was in trouble, he made a big fuss. It was said that Meng Shuangyao must have seduced Gao Shaoyang, otherwise the guest house where Gao Shaoyang lived was far away from Meng Shuangyao. The boudoir is so far away, and if no one deliberately lets her go and leads the way, Gao Shaoyang might not even be able to find her in the middle of the night, so how can he molest Meng Shuangyao?"
"Furthermore, although Meng Jiayan is Meng Shuangyao's brother, he is already in his twenties, has already been married, and has several children. Naturally, he has moved out of the inner courtyard and lived in the front. If there is no conspiracy, in the middle of the night , how could he happen to appear in Meng Shuangyao's boudoir and save his sister?!"
"Isn't this conspiracy too perfunctory?" Sheng Weiqiao felt very speechless as he listened, "Such an obvious flaw... Well, did this happen around the time of Queen Meng's wedding?"
Huan Yehe glanced at her approvingly: "Really?"
"No wonder." A look of confusion appeared on Sheng Weiqiao's face, "Meng Shuangyao is Queen Meng's niece. If she is the one who seduces and murders her cousin in the middle of the night, then Queen Meng's character will naturally be questioned. For To ensure that Queen Meng can secure her position as successor, even if Marquis Wu An always dotes on Miss Meng Wu, he will never let his granddaughter get a bad reputation... In this way, Gao Shaoyang can only suffer this loss!"
Because she had a bad impression of Gao Shaoyang, she snorted softly and added, "This is because Gao Shaoyang himself failed to live up to his expectations. If he hadn't been seduced by beauty, Meng Junyu and Meng Shuangyao could have kidnapped him in the middle of the night." Isn’t it in Meng Shuangyao’s boudoir?!”
"I think it's no wonder that Marquis Wu An has become more and more disdainful of the prince's lineage in recent years." Huan Yehe smiled faintly and said, "How long has it been since then, and he is still thinking about internal fighting?! Gao Shaoyang's conduct is indeed not good, but From Meng's point of view, it was not easy for one of his blood relatives to be able to read and get into the Hanlin Academy. But it was ruined just after passing the imperial examination. The hard work of cultivation in the early years was in vain, and the future pillar was prematurely Not to mention his death at an early age, don’t forget that Gao Shaoyang’s surname is not Meng, he is a descendant of the Gao family! Although the Gao family is not as powerful as the Meng family now, they are a time-honored and powerful family that has been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for six or seven generations!"
"They are one of the most important money bags of the Meng family. The reason why they support the Meng family so much is not only because Miss Meng Wu is the tomb wife of the Gao family, but in the final analysis, it is for Gao Shaoyang!"
"Now that Gao Shaoyang's future is in ruins, in order to protect Queen Meng, he doesn't even punish the people who murdered him. How could Gao be able to swallow this?!"
"Just wait and see, this matter will never end."
Sheng Weiqiao heard the unfinished meaning in her words and frowned: "I haven't heard my brother talk about this."
"This time it doesn't look like he did it himself, but I always feel that it probably has something to do with him." Huan Yehe sighed, "I know it's hard for him to listen to other people's persuasion, but if there is a chance, You'd better stop him! Even if he has the escape route of Gaomi Palace, considering the number of times he has cheated the Meng family these days... Do you really think that if the Meng family becomes popular, nothing can be done to him? After all, it is the Gaomen who occupies half of the court, okay? ?!”
Sheng Weiqiao pinched his forehead with a headache: "I'll ask him when I get back... Is there anything else?"
Huan Yehe glanced at her with a smile: "Yes... and it's a good thing!"
