Meng Guiyu had been to Wangchun Palace several times before. Overtly and covertly, although Wangchun Palace before Buluo had the solemnity and splendor of the residences of queens of all dynasties, it was definitely not as lively and lively as it is now... I could smell it before I even entered the door. A strong scent of osmanthus.
After entering the door, I saw a riot of flowers. In addition to the osmanthus that bloomed normally in that season, there were pots of peonies, peonies, cherry blossoms, and apricot blossoms cultivated in the greenhouse. Dancing gracefully with the autumn wind, it is indescribably beautiful.
Queen Meng came out to greet him in person. The brother and sister exchanged family rituals and went outside side by side.
Meng Guiyu said: "Sister Fourteen's place is very lively."
"It's all thanks to Sixth Brother." Queen Meng smiled lightly, with no joy or pride in her eyes. She remembered that when King Gaomi launched a rebellion, the guards of Wangchun Palace were withdrawn and killed. Then she followed Chunlai's food and other supplies were all cut off. At that time, she actually didn't want to live anymore. However, Chunlai didn't want her to die, so he kowtowed and begged one by one... In the end, Chunlai died in confusion, but she didn't expect Sun Xi to save her again. .
Thinking of Gongsun Xi, she was in a trance for a moment. Dong stood there consciously before coming back to her senses. Facing Meng Guiyu's puzzled eyes, she smiled apologetically, "He thought that spring was coming... When he brought her here from his aunt's palace before, Yuan Ye was just an ordinary palace maid, and she never thought about the deep love between master and servant. When she was in danger, everyone else left and she was the only one who foolishly stayed in the east... At first... "
Meng Guiyu comforted him and said, "This person has passed away. Sister Fourteen, please express my condolences!"
He added, "The palace maid did a great service by wronging the fourteenth sister. If she turns around and invites the emperor to honor her, she can also express her feelings on behalf of the fourteenth sister!"
The Queen thanked him and said: "At that time, although the Wangchun Palace was not the Leng Palace, it was more miserable than the Leng Palace. The lively and frustrated look at that time was nothing more than directed at Sixth Brother. The Didong people are just flattering on purpose! He originally didn’t need to be so solemn. After all, he had never seen such a scene when he was there, including the wedding months. Can anyone tell me if the Didong people have heard about it? He didn't ask for those favors, so he was trembling with fear, and asked him if he remembered what happened when Tong Chun came to live together, and planned to settle accounts with them?"
"He didn't bother to nag them, so he just let them do it."
"Sister Fourteen has been wronged!" Meng Guiyu nodded slightly and said, "I don't want to worry. When he goes there, he will understand everything that happened back then. Don't even think about anyone who dares to be rude to me. escape!"
It didn't matter to the Queen, or in other words, the Queen was afraid that he would really investigate thoroughly and find out the clues between herself and Gongsun Xi, so she said: "Brother Six, there is no need to be like this! After all, they didn't mean to be harsh on him in the first place, so they were just afraid." To retaliate against Wang Rongjing, you don’t dare to show kindness to him! People have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and he didn’t show any special kindness to them when he made mistakes in the past, but he begged them to spare their lives for him, which is really ridiculous! "
"Secondly, after a lot of troubles by King Rong Jing, the people in the palace were already very poor at that time, especially the old people, who have been working in the palace all their lives and are the most skilled in all kinds of things. If not because of some small things, If you deal with them too much and make everyone feel in danger, how can you think about doing anything at that time?"
"If Aunt Ming is old and Zhaoyi is happy, his confinement in the palace is too short, so he needs to take care of the children at that time... After people in the palace are panicked, will he become more and more concerned about the arrival of Nao?"
"Coupled with the fact that we are all the way to the south east of Ruru, there is no doubt that there will be troops approaching the east of the city!"
"Where can there be chaos in the palace at that time?"
Seeing that Meng Guiyu looked gloomy and did not look like he would approve of it, he was afraid that he would say something to refute, so he immediately changed the topic, "Wrong, Sixth Brother Ruming should have gone very soon, why did Qun Nao come suddenly?" ? Please look after me, no?"
When Guaier was in Linyuan, the child that Meng Guiyu sent to the queen to raise was mistakenly called the child of Meng Guihuan and King Guangling.
Because he is young and not Meng Guiyu's direct nephew, he has not been given a name until now.
When the wet nurse was coaxing him, Han Xuan mistakenly called the child "Guaier", and the queen followed suit.
"My dear child is being raised by me, why should he be worried?" While they were shutting up, the brother and sister had already entered the palace. They were divided into guest of honour, Luodong, and Luoyin and Luixin came to make tea with low eyebrows. , and after placing the fruit plate, Fang retreated behind the queen and stood with his legs down.
Meng Guiyu smiled lightly, and after saying that, he looked at them.
Empress Meng understood and told them and other waiters: "Go east, I will talk to Sixth Brother alone for a while!"
After the situation was cleared, Meng Guiyu continued: "I was really incapable of cleaning up the mess and planning the invasion of foreign enemies, so I didn't have to deal with the harem at all... My fourteenth sister, Zhaoyi is happy, what's going on? What's going on?"
"He was actually very puzzled!" Queen Meng also knew that he had been there for a few months. She even sent Meng Guihan to welcome the Queen Mother and Emperor Xuanjing back to the imperial city. Ruming personally came to Wangchun Palace, 100% of the time. If not, let's deny this matter... Although Empress Dowager Meng mistakenly ordered him to block the news, the influence of Meng Guiyu and Yuezi had grown so much that it was impossible to completely hide such a thing from him.
What's more, when driving back to the imperial city from Linyuan, the Queen Mother just called Queen Meng to ride with her, but she actually called Shu Zhaoyi!
Just that one point, even a fool would know there is something wrong!
At that moment, he showed a helpless expression, "The Shu sisters have been in the palace for decades, and they have always pampered and occupied special rooms! But there has never been any movement, even if miscarriage or other accidents have not happened, so everyone, including aunt Outside, everyone thinks that the two sisters probably have some flaws, that they are the kind of people who are destined to have nothing to do!"
"At that time, Zhaoyi suddenly said that she was pregnant. My aunt also checked the history of Tong, and checked the wrong details with the Zhongguan. Is it true that she was conceived before and after aunt Dongfeng moved her to Linyuan... In fact, my aunt still doubts it until now. , did Shu Zhaoyi use the fake pregnancy medicine that the concubines of the previous dynasty took to fight for their favor? She had other agendas!"
"That's why Shu Zhaoyi told her aunt that the fate had come. It also brought up the ending of the rebel king Rong Jing, saying that Rong Jing is not a fool, so why can't she protect herself? If something goes wrong, it will inevitably lead to Dong Nai's death. The true emperor is protected by heaven, and anyone who makes mistakes with Bidong will not end well!"
"Then, when Dong is out of danger, will it be natural for God to pity Dong for his grievances during confinement and give him an heir... It is said that Mrs. Feng, the natal mother of the Lord of Kangzhao County, gave birth to Kangzhao County. More than ten years have passed since the death of the Lord, and the couple were desperate to mix up their bloodlines with Prince Mi Zhen, but they turned out to be pregnant, and the child born at that time was the tenth son of the Sheng family named Sheng Weiyuan!"
"Sixth brother, I know that although my aunt has given up on having biological grandchildren a few years ago, as Bidong's biological mother, can I not bear to see Bidong without any biological flesh and blood to support him? "
"No, no matter how much my aunt doubts Zhaoyi, she will send someone to protect her. She plans to wait a few months to see if it is true or not?"
The queen sighed after saying this, "Although he thinks there is something wrong with Zhaoyi's pregnancy, my aunt is so old, and she has already experienced one after another next year... How can Zhi Tong dare to say that? Does he know six Brother, I was there very early at that time, and I was afraid that interrupting me rashly would spoil the big thing, otherwise he would have asked to send someone to invite me to discuss it!"
The last sentence was a tactful explanation as to why Meng Guiyu was not informed.
"Auntie really shouldn't hear any bad news at that time." After listening to the queen's words, Meng Guiyu closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, opened his eyes and said, "In that case, let auntie take care of that for now! Left and right Zhaoyi I'm so happy, I'm not pregnant at all. Let's wait until my aunt confirms that she is not a false pregnancy!"
Queen Meng asked worriedly: "Sixth brother, please tell me if she doesn't deny the false pregnancy..."
Meng Guiyu said: "That doesn't necessarily mean he is a male heir, right?"
"What if not?" Empress Meng asked, "To be honest with Sixth Brother, my aunt said before that if there is no male heir, she will leave the mother to keep the child and give the child to him to raise, but no, Sixth Brother, he didn't tell his aunt : He’s really annoyed by the Shu sisters! If you beg him to raise a son for them, you won’t be able to live with your heart no matter what!”
"Don't worry about that!" Meng Guiyu smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, and said softly, "I know that my sister suffered enough grievances at the legs of their sisters earlier, and now my brother can make the decision for me. Why do you want their flesh and blood to bother me again?"
The Queen was satisfied and nodded: "Then he will thank Sixth Brother first!"
Then he muttered, "As for my aunt..."
"Let's come up with a perfect solution then." Meng Guiyu squinted his eyes and said calmly, "For example... if Aunt Ruoguo wants to ask her own flesh and blood to comfort her, there is Wei Moqiao and the sensible little princess, Isn’t it a happy event, big or small?”
Queen Meng was startled for a moment, then she realized what she was saying and nodded slightly: "Brother Six is right."
When Meng Guiyu came to the east, he asked some more about the Queen Mother's current situation. After seeing that it was getting late, he left.
After he left, the queen called Luyin and Luxin to her side, frowned and said, "Isn't the news going to be spread?"
Xiyin looked helpless: "No, the slaves have tried several times to find excuses, but there is no chance... What the empress said before was very wrong. At that time, Wangchun Palace seemed to be highly respected, but in fact, I didn't know what was going on inside and outside. How many pairs of eyes are staring at Keke who won’t do anything for us!”
Queen Meng's face was ugly: "Those things that happened in Quyin will naturally be known after a few months outside. It's not very urgent!" The key is no, we had no way to communicate with the outside world at that time, and we didn't know what Prince Mi Zhen was thinking. If we asked what to do, we could make our own decision. "
Lu Xin asked: "Mother, Chongxin Hou just came here, can you please tell me about Shu Zhaoyi's pregnancy?"
Seeing the queen nodding, she asked for details.
After Empress Meng finished speaking, she pondered, "So it seems that that person is determined to support the good boy as the young master?"
There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he suggested, "Why not tell the Queen Mother his thoughts and life experience together with the good boy! Let the Queen Mother make the decision?"
"Auntie will most likely kill the good boy first?" Queen Meng frowned when she heard this and said, "Lest Shu Zhaoyi is really pregnant with the emperor's heir, and Mo'er gets in the way... In that case, Meng Guiyu will fall out with his aunt without a doubt, if They fell out, and it's always a good thing to go against Mi Zhen! But that's not necessarily the case, because Gua'er is not Meng Guiyu's direct nephew, and Meng Guiyu is wrong and he has no feelings for him. At worst, he can just pick one from the clan. No! Anyway, there are not many distant clans."
The three masters and servants discussed it for a while, but they didn't come up with any solution. Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Xin asked, "My queen, would you please pass on the food first?"
The queen was begging for permission, but at that time, a young palace maid hurried in from outside and reported with a complicated expression: "Empress! Someone from the West Palace has been sent to say that Empress Zhaoyi has a stomachache. Please come over and take charge of the situation!"
