Chapter 54: Vulnerability

Views:

"Useless things, get out! Get it all down for this king!" An angry scolding came from the study of Prince Yu's mansion, and then two maids stumbled out, one half of the Luo skirt was splashed with tea, and the other hand They were holding a few pieces of teacups, their faces were ashen, they were trembling, and even their temples were a little messy because they were running too fast.

"What's wrong with your lord?" A gentle voice sounded, and the two maids looked up and hurriedly knelt down.

"Back to the princess, the prince thinks the tea is hot... It's all the servants who are not serving well..."

Princess Yu frowned slightly and walked quickly to the door of the study. Seeing that the door was half-closed, she stretched out her hand and pushed it open, and walked in.

"Who came in again? This king told you to get out, get out!"

"Your Highness..." Princess Yu said softly, "My anger hurts my body, please, Your Highness, cherish your body."

King Yu was stunned, turned around, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "It's you. Is there something wrong?"

"The Chinese New Year is approaching, and I have drawn up a list of gifts for the new year after presenting my father and mother, and I want the prince to see what's wrong."

Yu Wang stretched out his hand to take the goose-yellow gift note handed over by his wife, quickly swiped it over and returned it, "You know the mother's preferences best, she is satisfied every year, so let's do as you wish this year."

"Yes." Princess Yu put the gift note back into her sleeve, and said slowly, "The girl in the house is not well trained. It's my negligence, please don't be angry."

"It's none of your business, those girls are clumsy..."

Princess Yu put her slender hand on her husband's arm and asked softly, "If there is anything unpleasant in the lord, can you tell me so that I can share some of it."

"It's nothing... You don't understand what's going on outside..." King Yu patted her hand and said warmly, "Don't worry about it, you've been quite tired these days, go and rest."

Princess Yu bit Yinghong's lower lip lightly, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "But because of the girl Prajna..."

"Where did you think you went?" King Yu frowned, "I'm worried about state affairs, you don't want a woman's opinion."

"Actually... I can talk to Miss Prajna. Although she is a concubine, as long as the lord likes it, I will never embarrass her in the slightest. Even if the lord wants to promote her in the future, I will... "

"You're talking nonsense again!" Yu Wang glared at her angrily, saw her face turn pale, and stretched his arms to embrace her again, "Okay, I've said it many times, you are you, Prajna Prajna, You will always be the only one of my princesses, so don’t make trouble for yourself. The queen is in the palace, and she has to rely on you to take care of herself. You are not happy yourself, so how can you be filial to me?”

"I'm sorry..." Princess Yu hugged her husband's waist and leaned closer to his chest. "You are so kind to me. If I were smarter and more capable, I would be better off sharing your worries..."

"You always like to think about these things, it's not good." King Yu gently pushed her away and stroked her hair, "Go, let me be alone for a while."

Princess Yu nodded meekly, bowed her knees, and slowly turned around and walked out. As soon as she walked to the patio outside the study, she met Mr. Kang, the most useful counselor in Prince Yu's mansion, and stopped.

"I have seen the princess." Mr. Kang bowed and saluted.

"No need. I just happened to be looking for Mr. Yu." Princess Yu raised her hand lightly, "Your Highness is in a bad mood, do you want to invite Miss Qin to come to the manor to solve it?"

Mr. Kang shook his head and said, "This time it's for the affairs of the palace, and there's nothing Ms Prajna can do."

"In the palace? What happened in the palace?"

"The princess doesn't know yet? The emperor has already issued a decree to forgive the Yue clan who was newly demoted to concubine, promoted to concubine, and ordered him to participate in the ceremony together."

Concubine Yu was startled: "I pardoned the Yue Niangniang... What did the Empress Niangniang say?"

"The decree announced directly by the internal supervisor has no warning beforehand. The Empress doesn't even know about the wind. How can you react?"

"So it's like this... The Empress Yue has been serving in the palace for more than ten years, so the emperor is probably thinking of old feelings..."

Mr. Kang knew that the Princess Yu had a simple mind and there was no need to tell her anything deeper, so he smiled and said nothing.

"Since that's the case, I'll bother Mr. Lao to persuade the prince. It's already happened, and being unhappy won't help."

"Yes."

"The palace also asks him to rest assured. I will go to the palace to greet the empress."

Mr. Kang smiled and said, "My lord is thankful for having such a virtuous inner helper as the wangfei."

"Sir, you have passed the award." Princess Yu said modestly and took another step. Mr. Kang hurried to the side of the road, bowed and waited for her to walk away, Fang squinted and said to himself: "Concubine Yue is reset, I wonder if the talented unicorn who pulled her down from the throne of noble concubine with one hand will be the same as the prince. Furious?"

It was not in line with Mr. Kang's expectations. After hearing the news that Concubine Yue had been pardoned, Mei Changsu had no special reaction. Throw a page into the brazier one page at a time. Fei Liu squatted aside and watched the flames rise and fall for a while, and it was very pleasant to watch.

At this time, the thick cotton curtain was opened, and the flames that had just started were suppressed by the cold wind pouring in, and it was suddenly darkened. Fei Liu glared at the intruder very angrily.

Meng Zhi didn't notice Fei Liu's unfriendly eyes, strode up to Mei Changsu, and said, "You seem quite leisurely..."

"You have cold air on your body, don't get so close to me, go and bake, and come back when it's hot."

Meng Zhi looked at him dumbfoundedly: "Have you not heard the news yet? Guess where I came from?"

"Mu Wang's Mansion."

Meng Zhi was caught by what he said, raised his thick eyebrows, stepped forward and pulled Mei Changsu's face and said, "Xiaoshu, why have you become more and more like a monster after you came back? Are you still alive?"

Fei Liu slashed over with a palm: "Let go!"

"Is it discovered by you?" Mei Changsu laughed, "I am a ghost, are you afraid?"

"If everyone can come back, I'll be happy even if it's a ghost," Meng Zhi sighed, "You guessed it right, I just came from Prince Mu's Mansion. Prince Mu was so angry that he was going to bite his nanmu chair out of his teeth. …”

"Good bite!" Fei Liu suddenly popped out two words, and Meng Zhi glanced at him inexplicably.

"What Feiliu said is right, Nanmu is very soft and easy to bite. You can bite out your teeth without too much force..." Mei Changsu patted the boy's head in approval.

"Hey, you two..." Meng Zhi only felt powerless, "I'm talking serious!"

"Fei Liu, Uncle Meng said you are not serious..." Mei Changsu provoked.

Fei Liu opened his eyes in confusion.

"Irregular means being like brother Lin Chen. Do you remember that the uncles in the league often scold Brother Lin Chen for being indecent?"

When Fei Liu heard this, the uncle dared to say that he was just like Lin Chen, and immediately became furious. Although Meng Zhi was not afraid, he always had to deal with it with energy. In a short while, the two had already played against each other in the room.

"Xiaoshu, you tell him to stop making trouble, I'll tell you the business!" Meng Zhi shouted angrily.

Mei Changsu smiled and sat with his fur in his arms, encouragingly, "Come on, Feiliu, it's rare to have a chance to have sex with Uncle Meng..."

Meng Zhi saw that this man had come to play, but he felt a little bit of joy in his heart. No matter what, he still had some traces of Lin Shu's past, which was always a comforting thing. Fighting is actually quite enjoyable, so I just calm down and deal with it seriously.

The characteristics of Feiliu Wugong have always been strange and unpredictable, and naturally they have an advantage over people like Xia Dong and Tuoba Hao who follow the same line of body moves, but when they encounter Meng Zhi, Zhou Zheng's masculine type , it is inevitable to be restrained everywhere, not to mention that Fei Liu, who has been seriously injured at a young age, is still far less than Meng Zhi, who has been solidly trained in Shaolin's authentic spiritual methods.

However, it was because he was obviously not Meng Zhi's opponent that Feiliu's fighting spirit was even more vigorous. He had no distractions in his mind, and all his attention was focused on the current competition. It didn't take long for Meng Zhi to discover an amazing thing. Surprise.

Fei Liu can actually memorize the opponent's strength and aura characteristics during the fight, and make corresponding corrections to himself in real time.

That is to say, once you have used a move to control his move, you can never use the same move to work on him again. Unless you strengthen your strength or change the flow of the aura, the flow will not work. You will definitely be able to defeat this move, forcing you to use the back move to remedy it.

It is unbelievable that such an amazing learning ability should appear in a boy with some mental retardation. But perhaps it was because his intelligence was limited in certain areas that he inspired his amazing martial arts genius.

"Are you trembling with fear?" Mei Changsu's smiling voice came, "Brother Meng, you have to become stronger."

Meng Zhi said with a long smile: "It's useless for you to help him. How can my heart be so easily disturbed? It's too early for him to defeat me!" Although he was talking, his breath was not disturbed at all. The anger suddenly increased a little, and he turned his palms slowly to meet them, and pressed them to Fei Liu's palms in a very harmonious posture. The boy's eyebrows twitched, and his figure suddenly floated, as if he disappeared in place in an instant, and appeared behind Meng Zhi in an instant. However, although his movements were fast, he was inexplicably slowed by Meng Zhi, who was moving slowly. The position of his back suddenly became the front, and his palms could not be retracted, so he was firmly sucked by Meng Zhi. As soon as he spit out the force, the whole person flew out backwards, and repeatedly turned over in the air to lose strength, and when he fell, he was still a little unsteady.

"It's okay, it's okay," Mei Changsu beckoned to the boy, "I won't be able to fight this time, we'll fight again next time."

Meng Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaoshu, are you using me to feed this child?"

"So what?" Mei Changsu smiled like a spring breeze. "You won't be so stingy, wouldn't it be fun to fly with us? Look how cute we are..."

Meng Zhi exhaled. Pretty is true, but cute... ? ? But he really liked this young man with great martial arts talent, and didn't mind coming here from time to time, he just smiled leniently, walked over to Mei Changsu and sat down, saying, "Look at your appearance, It doesn't seem surprising that Concubine Yue will be reset?"

"What's so surprising?" Mei Changsu said indifferently, "No matter how serious the crime concubine Yue committed, it was not aimed at the emperor himself. This majesty never cared much about the pain of others. Don't you know?"

"You don't need to say this about Your Majesty, right?" Meng Zhi said a little embarrassedly, "Anyway, His Majesty is always His Majesty, and there is indeed a reason for the year-end ceremony."

"What's the matter with the year-end sacrifice ceremony?" Mei Changsu smiled coldly, "Don't the crown prince have no mother? After the sacrifice and drinking, the dress of the emperor and the queen touches the ground. This is just and proper filial piety. What's so hard to do? ?"

"Ah?" Meng Zhi was taken aback, "But in previous years..."

"In previous years, the reason for the ceremony was because Concubine Yue was originally a first-class concubine, with a nine-beaded phoenix crown, and stood side by side with the emperor, so when the prince knelt down and stroked his skirt, everyone felt it was natural. Even the most sensitive to etiquette The Ministry of Rites has not made any corrections to the prince's behavior, and it is of course even less likely that others will realize the deviation."

"Listening to what you said, it seems to make sense..." Meng Zhi scratched his head, "There are so many rituals, how to understand each paragraph should be the most familiar to the Ministry of Rites, why Chen Lao Shangshu didn't say it..."

"Chen Yuancheng?" Mei Changsu's smile was even colder, "It seems to be a neutral minister of ritual, with only one word of 'li' in his eyes... Haha... The most ridiculous part is here..."

Meng Zhi stared blankly at Mei Changsu's face: "Xiaoshu, you mean..."

"Ever since Chen Yuancheng's only grandson escaped on the front line and was deliberately protected by Xie Yu who concealed the death penalty, this old Shangshu has become a dog of Ning Guohou... Well, it's no wonder that people always can't escape the debt of their descendants. He Jingzhong is like this, why not Chen Yuancheng?"

Meng Zhi opened his mouth wide in surprise, and he didn't bother for a long time, and even his eyes were frozen in shock.

"Chen Yuancheng clearly knew that according to the rules of the sacrificial ceremony, as long as the queen was there, it didn't matter whether there was a concubine Yue or not, but he didn't dare to say it. First, Xie Yu had warned in advance, and secondly, he also understood that the emperor just wanted to find a concubine. It's just an excuse to pardon Concubine Yue..." Mei Changsu sneered mockingly, "What an upright and loyal elder of the two dynasties, but he's just an old fox.
