"Whatever the uncle tells the fourteenth sister to do, the fourteenth sister will do it. Leave the rest to him." Meng Guiyu said gently, "After all, if he has the Shu sisters as his backers, he also has them in the Forbidden Army. With these statuses, even if I incur the resentment of my uncle and the others, I still have room to protect myself. The fourteenth sister and I are a female, and my legs are not strong enough to tie a chicken. I don’t want to offend the elders unless I have to. Not to mention that other elders are also very good. Forget it, my aunt is really sorry for me. I want to know if my uncle and I are of the same mind, and I don’t even care about the life and death of the entire Meng family. I will probably be sad. She is old and can’t tolerate that. Let’s do it. The younger generation must be taken into consideration.”
Queen Meng frowned and said: "Of course he doesn't want to hurt my aunt, but he doesn't want to accept his fate! This is such a big thing, can I handle it alone?"
"It's not him alone." Meng Guiyu explained, "In fact, it doesn't mean secretly. Isn't he a person who can't heal his legs just by being beaten? During those confinement years, I have no relationship between him and his biological father. Although he fought fiercely, he had long been hated by Meng for adding to the flames by watching the excitement and taking advantage of the situation. No, the envoys sent that time first went to Sheng Mansion to find Mr. Feng, and to the Shu sisters. Go ahead and make a speech, and then go to him secretly to discuss... Anyway, no one wants Meng to get too dominant now, so naturally we want to work together."
The Queen whispered: "He has such confidence in the important place of the palace. It seems that Wei Jianran is here and has given him full support?"
I was a little worried, "Are we going to fall for that person's fault? Don't work so hard that in the end you will be able to make wedding clothes for others!"
"Then you should worry about whether he comes." Meng Guiyu sighed slightly when he heard the words, and said, "The fourteenth sister and the Princess of Mi Zhen County are sisters after all. If he hadn't been practicing Zuo for a long time, he would have turned against his married wife. How can I live a life without any worries about food and clothing, not to mention how polite I am? But he has no friendship with the people around Mi Zhen, and if he knows about the legs and feet made by confinement, he won't kill him That’s weird!”
Queen Meng shook her head and said: "He and Kang Zhao do have a good relationship, and he told her that no matter who is successful in the future, they will never forget their mistakes. However, Qiu said that because of that, he carelessly pinned his future on her husband and wife's honor. Afterwards, it’s okay to think about the old relationship. After all, whether he can be friends with her or not, can he be attached to her? Why rely on others when you can do things yourself? "
She didn't want to talk more about that topic, so she said, "Although I, Ru Ming, have gained some power, I still have to be cautious. Zheng Hou and the others are extremely doting on Third Brother's children, but they have always been unfavorable to us. It's unnecessary! Once they get angry, I'll be in danger even if I pay some price! I said the Shu sisters can be my backers, but those two sisters have treacherous minds, so that's nothing. Reliable person."
When he said this, he sighed, "If I had known that the sisters would force their niece to be my wife, he should have thought of a way for me to ask for a wife from the family of the Grand Commander of the Forbidden Army as Madam Hou! What a bastard!" Well, the Shu family can't be helped at all, and Shu Ezhu is notorious for being unruly, willful, and bad-tempered. If such a wife comes into the house, let alone expect the support of the Yue family, it will be impossible if she doesn't make a fuss! "
Meng Guiyu looked calm and said calmly: "My fate is different, so I can't force it. Ru Ming is very useful to the Shu sisters, so I can't refuse that marriage... There may not be any benefits to Bu Nao marrying Shu Ezhu. Although the Shu sisters were a little resentful that their father and brother sold them into Princess Wuyang's house, they did not deny them and gave them a burden, which shows that they do not value blood relatives. She made them nieces and nephews, which is more or less It can bring the two sides closer to each other.”
He added, "As for the Forbidden Army... Is Guihan still unmarried?"
Queen Meng felt a little sad. Did she know that Meng Guiyu had used marriage as a bargain with his younger siblings to increase the power of his fourth brother
However, at that time, he took the initiative to consider doing so.
"Brother Six, please be careful!" The Queen wanted to comfort him, but looking at his calm eyes, she sighed in her heart and said nothing. Preserve yourself for your own safety!"
... After Meng Guiyu left, Gongsun Xi turned out from behind the screen behind the queen and said thoughtfully: "Does the queen really believe him?"
"Me?!" Queen Meng was so shocked that she almost fell off the soft couch. She pressed her legs against her chest and looked at him in disbelief, "Why am I there?!"
Thinking about it, he asked again, "How long have I been here?!"
Gongsun Xi said calmly: "Did I follow Marquis Chongxin in?"
Does that mean he heard everything? !
Queen Meng felt a "buzzing" sound in her head for a moment, and after a while, she said in a hoarse voice: "I...how can I do that?!"
"Does the empress think that because the prince is not in Chang'an, she doesn't know how restless Marquis Chongxin is during his confinement period?" Gongsun Xi asked back, "If it weren't for the fact that the prince was very useful in Marquis Chongxin's place, and secondly, his roots are not in Chang'an. , I have sent people to deal with him a long time ago, can we probably let him be free until tomorrow?"
"Since he was in the palace during that humble duty and found out that he came to meet with the empress, I naturally asked to sit in and see what he was trying to persuade the empress!"
Queen Meng panted heavily. After a while, she said with a cold face: "The matter is now over, what do I want to do?"
"In my humble position, I would like to ask the empress to choose a good tree to live in." Gongsun Xi had considered it from behind the screen and said at this moment, "The empress has always been on good terms with the princess, and she has the princess as a guarantee. Could it be that the credibility of the prince is not as good as Chongxin's? Hou? Will your cousin's future be brighter than that of the prince?"
"Would he not agree to his request?" Queen Meng said coldly, "What am I going to do? Kill him? Like Concubine Cuo Mo, she wiped the flawless dagger on the ground while he was laying it. Sleep next to him and let him cut his cheek when he wakes up and watch his appearance be ruined?!"
Gongsun Xi was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, you think too much. I wouldn't do that in a humble position."
When Queen Meng heard this, her eyes flashed, and her tone softened a lot: "Why? Am I not loyal to Mi Zhen? I know that he is cooperating with Sixth Brother, but Mi Zhen may not have good intentions, but I am not honest. Pay him? Do I want to betray Mi Zhen? "
When she asked that, of course she wanted Gongsun Xi to say something that she would take a different view of or take seriously.
It turned out that Gongsun Xi said expressionlessly: "Because the princess of the county attaches great importance to the queen. When I reminded the princess that the empress was suspicious, I was scolded by the princess! If the princess of the county directly touches the east leg of the queen without permission, it will be a month. If the princess of the county knows about it later, she will definitely not give up on her humble position!"
"The princess is deeply favored by the prince. Even if she has been with the prince for many years, she would not dare to offend her."
"What's more, the princess was very pregnant at that time and couldn't help but be stimulated."
"As for the little prince, if you act humbly, you should be safe!"
"..." The queen was so angry that her eyes turned black, she gritted her teeth and said, "Is that true!?"
Gongsun Xi thought for a while and said: "Very well, as long as the empress is the lord of the middle palace in name only, what she can do is actually very limited. Even if the prince has no good intentions, in fact, the threat is very small, and basically nothing can be done. So I am humble. There’s no need to beg the wrong person for calling you to fight or kill, after all, it’s Hou Chongxin who needs to be taken care of!”
Queen Meng's face was ashen, she grabbed the tea bowl on the table and threw it at him: "Get out! Men and women are not intimate, who allows me to break into the palace's bedroom without permission?! I'll get out of here immediately!!!"
... After Gongsun Xi left Wangchun Palace, he took a familiar route to a remote palace.
This place had once been glorious, and you could often see glimpses of dying embers among the ruins. It was so deserted, and along the way, there were several collapsed palaces.
There were even many small animals such as foxes and rabbits that were startled by him and fled in terror.
"Have I ever gone to spy on the erotic palace? Am I interested in the young and beautiful queen who is staying alone in the empty house?" He kept walking and walked all the way to the house at the end. The row of bungalows had already collapsed several times. There are two rooms on the far side, and they are working hard to support it.
At this moment, a voice came from one of the rooms, with a teasing smile, "Can the queen on your right just bear the name? If she really likes it, can our family think of something for me?" "
"The queen seems to have been seeing Meng Guiyu for a day or two. Does Meng really know nothing about it?" Gongsun Xi was too lazy to pay attention to that and said as he walked in, "Even if the lights are dark, it won't be like this, right?"
The inside of the house was as dilapidated as the outside. At this moment, a space was cleared out in the innermost corner, and a table with an upturned iron pear wood pattern that was incompatible with the surroundings was placed. On top of the table was a set of sweet red A glazed tea set with a parrot holding a peach, and a pair of legs as red and soft as a woman's, making tea in an orderly manner.
The emerald green tea soup poured into the cup, like a hand of emerald, and the refreshing fragrance of tea slowly filled the room, diluting the odor emitted by the old things around.
The owner of the leg picked up a cup in front of him, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and said with regret: "There was a poem in the past that praised the moon forging snow buds, but I took the spring and stone well to try the moon casting, and my poem met by chance." It has also become [Note 1]', and it is said that 'it should be green goshawk claws, which can press red sacs and red snow buds [Note 2]'. However, if you come here secretly, you can't bring good mountain spring water, you can use it well. When cooked with water, the taste is lacking."
At that time, Gongsun Xi had already arrived in front of the case. He lifted his robe and knelt down and walked eastward. He grabbed the cup of tea given to him, raised his neck and drank it all. At the end, he said lightly: "Too young man, come again!"
"Can't I learn a little bit about how to chew peonies?" The man sighed, his face hidden in the shadows, and he stretched out a pair of legs that looked like a woman's, filled the bottle for him, and said, "I say Meng's The queen is very ignorant of Meng Guiyu's news... Of course Meng Guiyu and the queen can't do it, isn't that very important to our family?"
