The Supreme Empress didn't know that in just a short while, many thoughts flashed through Meng Li's mind.
She only saw Meng Li smiling demurely at her and promising her in a soft voice that he would train the Crown Princess well.
Meng Li took Zhang Ningyun back to Huanghua Palace, and met many concave-looking male concubines along the way.
Zhang Ningyun was disgusted with these male concubines.
Some flattered her, while others added insult to injury.
Meng Li started to read the memorial again. People in this era were still reserved in their speech. Meng Li could pick out a few useful sentences from a memorial with over a thousand words.
It’s also very tiring.
Zhang Ningjun and the Taifu sat at the bottom, and the Taifu taught Zhang Ningjun how to read.
She kept reading along.
The voice was deliberately loud. She hoped that Meng Li would be disturbed by her and not let her be here anymore.
I used to think that coming to Huanghua Palace would be a good idea. At least I could get up close and personal with the Queen. I would have more opportunities to hear some confidential matters or gain the Queen's trust and favor.
But after working hard for a while, Zhang Ningyun confirmed that the queen's heart was made of stone.
His attitude toward her never changed.
When there is something important, he always keeps her far away.
On the contrary, she has no freedom here.
It was inconvenient to do anything, even correspondence with my father's family was cut off under this strict surveillance.
Some things cannot be brought in from outside the palace.
Meng Li ignored the sound of Zhang Ningjun reading, after all, she could do it without being disturbed.
Two of the people around Zhang Ningjun were also dismissed by Meng Li after he found out what was wrong with them, and were replaced by his own people.
At night, Meng Li went to Fenghou Palace.
Satellite Lin said:
"Your Majesty, in a few days, the flowers in the garden will bloom."
Meng Li hummed and said:
"It's up to you to arrange the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
Everyone in this country is particularly fond of flowers. Baiyuan Garden is a royal garden, and there are many precious varieties gathered there. When they are in full bloom, princes and ministers will be entertained to enjoy the flowers together.
It is also a kind of welfare, treat everyone to eat, drink and have fun.
Relax and connect with each other.
There are quite a few banquets of all kinds throughout the year.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty." Weixinglin smiled.
With that said, he walked towards Meng Li. Meng Li opened his hands, and Weixinglin took off Meng Li's complicated clothes.
Meng Li said:
"I'm not always in the harem, thank you for your hard work."
"This is my duty, I don't have to work hard."
"If your majesty really feels that I am working hard, I hope that your majesty will come and visit me often..." Weixinglin's voice became smaller and smaller.
Meng Li was speechless. The male concubines in this harem were so scary.
It seems that even the beautiful spring dreams cannot satisfy them.
Not surprisingly, when Weixing Lin helped Meng Li take off his coat and hung it aside, he was caught off guard and fell into the dream created by Meng Li.
This is what Meng Li used to do.
After a period of time, Weixing Lin was probably organizing the Hundred Flowers Banquet. He was busy and didn't hang out in front of Meng Li much.
On the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, Meng Li took Zhang Ningyun to the Baiyuan Garden.
Huabaiyuan covers an area too large and is not within the palace.
You need to go there by carriage.
Meng Li wore a black casual suit with gold trim. He looked noble and dignified, but not particularly serious.
Weixing Lin was dressed in bright red, with a jade hairpin in her hair.
Men in this era had soft bodies and considered thinness as their beauty. They had very little flesh and looked extremely weak.
The two got on the carriage, and Zhang Ningjun followed Meng Li in the carriage.
The Supreme Empress did not come this time. She declined because she was too old and could not bear the travel and travel. Meng Li agreed at that time.
There were no repeated requests, which made it difficult for the Supreme Queen to change her mind and say that she was going, so she could only stay in the palace.
There is also a palace built here, but today the sky is clear, so it is set up in the open air.
You can enjoy flowers outside and have various entertainment programs.
People from all walks of life have also arrived, and when Meng Li arrived, everyone saluted.
Meng Li also chatted with them for a while, and then there were some entertainment projects, nothing more than piano skills, dance skills and the like.
These are mostly performed by men.
The women all competed in archery and horseback riding.
After completing these procedures, everyone started to eat. Whether it was pastries or dishes, many of the ingredients included various flowers.
It is worthy of the name Hundred Flowers Feast.
After lunch, everyone started to visit Baiyuan Garden.
Meng Li walked with some ministers to keep in touch with each other. Weixing Lin also wanted to interact with the husbands of these ministers' families, so they did not go together but went on separate tours.
Zhang Ningyun's grandfather, Shao Jia's father, took Zhang Ningyun on a sightseeing trip.
Meng Li originally didn't want Zhang Ningjun to have more contact with people from Shao Family, but Shao Family asked her in front of so many people, which was pitiful.
Meng Li couldn't do anything about it, and it would be really unkind to refuse to let him go.
Simply let Zhang Ningyun go.
Moreover, it was inconvenient for Zhang Ningyun to bring so many people out of the palace, so she did not bring the people she arranged to be around Zhang Ningyun.
The Baiyuan Garden is really beautiful and has all kinds of famous flowers.
Meng Li chatted with the people around him all the time, really leisurely.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good." A female official rushed over and shouted.
Meng Li said expressionlessly:
"What's wrong again?"
Could it be that Zhang Ningyun is stirring up trouble again
"The Crown Princess, the Crown Princess has fallen into the water." The female officer gasped and said.
Meng Li:…
really.
She turned around and found Shao Jia's mother, Shao, from a group of courtiers behind her.
He gave her a cold look, full of warning.
"Lead the way." Meng Li said coldly.
The ministers behind him did not dare to say a word and followed Meng Li.
It wasn't that far. After walking for less than a quarter of an hour, we reached the place where we fell into the water.
Zhang Ningjun's hair was soaked through. Although it was spring and the sunshine was acceptable today, the cold water of the lake made Zhang Ningjun's little body tremble with cold.
Mrs. Liu wrapped Zhang Ningyun in her cloak, while Weixinglin's face was not good-looking. He stood aside, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Meng Li looked at Zhang Ningyun and asked indifferently:
"what are you up to?"
Zhang Ningjun shrank her neck, looked afraid of Meng Li, and shouted weakly:
"Mother Queen."
Meng Li looked at Liu:
"Tell me what's going on."
Mrs. Liu also looked at Meng Li with the same fear, and looked at Weixing Lin beside him, hesitantly.
Meng Li sneered:
"Since you can't say it, don't say it."
Shao, who was behind Meng Li, glanced at Zhang Ningyun and then at his husband. Seeing Meng Li's attitude toward Zhang Ningyun, his heart became cold.
When Mrs. Liu heard that Meng Li asked him not to say anything, she panicked and secretly gritted her teeth, feeling like she was sinking her boat:
"Your Majesty, please give your Majesty the final say."
Meng Li asked calmly:
"What's the boss?"
"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, she usually walks very steadily." Mrs. Liu looked at Weixing Lin and said firmly.
