Jing Fan stopped and glanced at Meng Qiqi who was behind Meng Yong with a dangerous gaze like a wild beast, then turned around and left Jing He, who was as stiff as a wooden man.
Meng Yong was also unsure of what was going on for a while, so he only sent an imperial physician to follow him: "If you need anything, just follow the instructions of Master Jing."
The imperial concubine watched all the passages and covered her face with a fan: "The maid brought by my elder sister today is very eye-catching. It seems that I have never seen it before. The maid stabbed the basket as soon as she came to Qionglou, elder sister should be more careful."
Meng Yong responded indifferently: "My maid has nothing to do with Master Jing's apprentice fainting. Sister, don't be alarmist here. Let's take a look at the talents of the girls."
The imperial concubine sneered and said nothing.
Meng Qiqi's heart was beating like thunder. For some reason, she was a little panicked when Jing Fan looked at her just now, and hoped that Sheng Jiayan would come back soon.
She hung the bag with Jinghe's soul on her waist, and she listened to the ladies spelling poetry and songs together with Meng Yong.
All the poems have words and paintings, and most of them are about scenery, flowers and plants. Suddenly, there is only two words written on one of the titles: ginseng.
The two stars in Shang Shang were originally two stars. They appeared here and there, one appeared and the other was hidden, and they would never see each other. It means discord and parting. These two words are sullen and sad, but they are a bit unlucky.
However, with such an unlucky question, Meng Yong raised his voice: "Get this for this palace."
The imperial concubine saw the needle and said, "Is my elder sister also going to compete with the noble girls? My elder sister is very talented. If you make a move this time, others will not have to play. ."
However, Meng Yong just pretended not to hear it, took this 'Shangshang' and took a closer look, without mentioning the pen.
A few sisters with agile thinking have begun to study ink and brush, and the rest of the ladies and wives are also secretly competing, just hoping that their daughter will be able to conquer the crowd. But when they saw that the queen also took a question, they were secretly dissatisfied. This Qionglou is more than poetry just to see which girl is more in the limelight. If the queen is involved, how can others dare to compete with the queen for the first place? But fortunately, the queen has not yet written, and her own girl has a chance.
No one paid attention to the Queen's side at the moment, and most of the girls over there completed the assignments. Jing Fan, who was originally serving as a poetry reviewer, had already left, so the imperial concubine suggested that the male relatives on the second floor should evaluate the poetry of the noble women.
The tray containing the poems was presented to the second floor. The young masters unrolled the scrolls, checked them crossly, and when they felt good, they drew an orchid. These sons and grandsons and the noble ladies of the Houmen look up and see each other, and they can climb up to relatives in two circles, so as long as the writing is not too bad, they will give one.
The final result came out. The eunuch counted, and the one with the most orchids was the winner. The eunuch said in a low voice, "The leader of Duanyang this year is the song 'Participating in Business'."
The ladies looked at each other, guessing who wrote the poem.
However, the imperial concubine saw Meng Yong taking this question just now, and she couldn't help laughing at this moment: "Now the world is peaceful, everyone is happy, and it's the Duanyang Festival, isn't it bad luck? How dare you show off in front of my sister."
Meng Yong was speechless, just drinking tea calmly, turning a deaf ear to the sarcasm of the imperial concubine.
As soon as the poems of Shen Shang came out, everyone around was silent. The sound of footsteps coming upstairs gradually came from the second floor, and after a while, he brought a group of young sons up. The ladies quickly covered their faces with fans, showing shy expressions.
"Who wrote that piece of business?" Zhou Xing asked as soon as he came up, but his eyes fell directly on Meng Yong.
Meng Yong also happened to look at him, and finally moved his eyes away calmly, and greeted Zhou Xing with the imperial concubine.
"Queen," Zhou Xing's eyes were cold, "Shangshang, who did it?"
Just as the imperial concubine was about to answer, Meng Yong rarely grabbed her before saying, "It's the servant girl of the concubine."
Meng Eqi, who had been watching the play at the back, was pushed by Meng Yong to everyone's eyes. Everyone's eyes fell on her for a moment. During the period, she was still looking at Zhou Xing. Meng Eqi couldn't help but tremble. .
Zhou Xing asked her coldly, "Is it really what you did to participate in the business?"
How should she answer this!
Meng Qiqi looked at Meng Yong in embarrassment, only to see that the latter lowered his head and said nothing, his expression calm and peaceful. Meng Qiqi knew that this was what Meng Yong asked her to repay for her help just now.
She couldn't, so she had to stand up and admit: "It was made by slaves."
Zhou Xing's eyes were even colder: "Shangshang means parting, why do you write such poems on this good day?"
Meng Eqi really didn't know how to answer, she didn't write the words, how could she know why!
I only heard Meng Yong say again: "The servant girl of the concubine must just use this poem to sing and praise the harmonious and harmonious relationship below, and use this poem to warn the world."
Meng Eqi just nodded, and handed it over to Meng Yong to explain.
Zhou Xing looked at the two of them for a long time, and finally laughed, and ordered the eunuch to take out two trays: "This is the musk bead string that the Xiliang Kingdom paid tribute to. I bring it with me in summer, it is cool and moisturizing, and my skin is fragrant. I will make it today. gift to you."
The words sounded like they were aimed at Meng Qiqi, but Zhou Xing was actually looking at Meng Yong.
Meng Yong had nothing to say, so Meng Eqi had no choice but to thank the holy will.
After being bestowed by the emperor, he envied the eyes of many noble ladies around him.
Meng Eqi took the thing, and Zhou Xing attacked again: "Why don't you wear it? Is it because you don't like it?"
Meng Qiqi was taken aback: "I like it." She quickly put it on her wrist. The girl's skin was as white as snow, and the bright red agate was particularly eye-catching.
After the poetry meeting, the banquet was coming to an end, and everyone was playing around again. The eunuch and the maid hurriedly fetched the brine book, and everyone rushed forward and back, until they watched the queen and the concubine leave.
When sitting in the carriage, there were only Meng Yong and Meng Qiqi.
Meng Eqi said with a bitter face: "You must never ask me for such drudgery in the future. I don't want to be caught between you and Zhou Xing."
Meng Yong smiled bitterly, not knowing when the wine was brought. She poured herself a cup: "Do you want to try it? This is a tribute from the palace, and I can't drink it normally."
Seeing that Meng Eqi was speechless, she said to herself, "I forgot, you are a goddess. Your family is drinking jade dew nectar, and you won't be greedy for these two glasses of wine in my world."
Meng Qiqi was speechless for a while, but finally he could only say: "When I was attached to you, I drank a lot, but now I don't want to drink because I'm tired of it."
Meng Yong was amused by her and laughed: "Thank you for helping me just now, maybe what I did just now was a little inexplicable, but..."
"You clearly knew that you did that song in Shang Zhou Xing." Meng Qiqi interrupted her.
Meng Yong did not deny it: "Of course he knew it was me. This is something that only he and I knew. The word "shangshang" was taught to me by him."
Meng Eqi leaned closer: "Meng Yong, can you tell me what happened to you after we left?"
Her question caused a crack in Meng Yong's indifferent and calm face. The mind rolling in his eyes is a deep love that cannot be hidden.
"In fact, you have all seen what happened with Zhou Xing, and the truth is what you saw. My cowardice and timidity caused the situation between me and him today. Misunderstandings and slander are full of misunderstandings and slander between me and him, even if He was just as angry when he learned the truth about everything and knew that I was who I was back then."
"He hated me for deceiving him and hiding it from him. Zhou Xing felt that he had been toyed with me for nearly ten years. He once asked me, 'Are you happy to see me feel so sad for you and give up the people of the community for you.' But... Obviously it's not like this, I didn't mean it at all, but I can't explain it. Because I later found out that it seemed that I was wrong from the beginning to the end, and if it wasn't for my weakness at the beginning, I wouldn't be..."
"Zhou Xing won't forgive me, and I won't forgive myself. Regarding the past between me and him, we kept each other secret and tormented each other. Many times I had nightmares at night, and when I woke up, I persuaded myself that this was me. I deserve it. But... Goddess, you may not know how easy it is for me to get all this out. The burden in my heart is no longer there. I can finally watch Zhou Xing upright and take good care of my reputation. ."
"But then I saw you and Li Yushu..." Meng Qiqi hesitated.
Meng Yong sneered: "Li Yushu pleases Zhou Xing, and now he takes the position of commander-in-chief. I know that Li Yushu is not a simple person, his ambition to revenge is this Zhou family's country, if I don't leave some handles to him, so what? catch him?"
Meng Qiqi was taken aback: "You... do you want to risk yourself so that he can be convicted of infringing the queen?"
Meng Yong nodded: "I know Zhou Xing still has feelings for me. Even if I commit suicide in shame, he will not let Li Yushu go."
"..." Meng Eqi really didn't understand why Meng Yong had to work so hard: "Can you tell him directly?"
"Do you think he would believe me if I came out now?"
It is true that the misunderstanding between Meng Yong and Zhou Xing is so deep that the two people who love each other still doubt the truth of each other's words.
Forget it, their own feelings are left to their own headaches. Presumably the red line between Zhou Xing and Meng Yong was already indistinguishable from Yue Lao.
Meng Eqi looked at the package with Jing He's soul hanging around her waist, and said to Meng Yong, "I will find an opportunity to leave when I return to the palace next time. In the days to come... we will see you in the dark."
Meng Yong looked at her blankly: "Netherworld... Are you the goddess of the underworld?"
Before Meng Qiqi could answer her, the carriage shook violently. Immediately, the guards outside shouted: "There are assassins! There are assassins! Protect the queen!"
The horses were startled for some reason, and with a long neigh, the carriage rolled violently, and Meng Yong and Meng Qiqi hit the wall of the carriage at the same time.
