The eldest princess of Xiaoyue, Meng Qingqian, who holds great power and is aloof, is actually not free.
Not only are there so many memorials that cannot be processed every day, but there are also meetings of various sizes to be held. Even, they have to help officials belonging to the Montenegrin camp deal with their conflicts.
Most of the time, she has to stay busy until late at night, reading various excerpts and writing comments. Whether to approve, revise, or reject for reconsideration must be carefully considered. There are many times when Han surname will deliberately argue with her. Just getting stuck on one paperwork in a big business can make the whole thing messy.
The night in the palace was already deep, Meng Qingqian walked to the front of her mother's bedroom, and asked quietly: "Is mother asleep?"
At this point in time, the Queen Mother naturally fell asleep. However, the empress dowager also knew about her daughter's personality, and she would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so there must be something important when this time comes.
"Qingqian, come in quickly. Do you have anything to discuss with your mother?"
Meng Qingqian nodded, and said: "Tomorrow morning, please arrange a reliable maid, dressed better, to sit in my place."
"Why?"
"Queen, I plan to leave the palace to see Fan Yu."
Although the Eldest Princess has to hold various meetings and conferences a day, the most important thing is undoubtedly the daily morning court.
It turned out that when the queen mother supervised the country, she sat behind the curtain behind the emperor's dragon chair. Later, the power was delegated to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess sat next to the queen mother behind the curtain.
The curtain was not thick, and two figures could be seen faintly, in order to give the officials an invisible sense of oppression.
The eldest princess is diligent, and after supervising the government, she never falls behind in the morning and morning.
This time when she went out of the palace to meet Fan Yu, in order to hide herself, Meng Qingqian naturally found a substitute to sit there for her. In this way, not only will she not break the rules of the early dynasty, but it can also confuse Prime Minister Han's power.
It's not difficult to find a court lady, but the queen mother doesn't understand why her daughter wants to meet a general who has resigned for a long time.
"Qingqian, what are you going to do with Fan Yu?"
"Mother, my Meng family lacks military power the most. If General Fan Yu can come out again, gather the Chu family army, and serve my Meng family. Three years later, when Han and I hand over power to the Holy Majesty, there will be no mutiny." Suffering."
Meng Qing paused and added: "Besides, Nan Zhu doesn't have to marry He Yunxiao in exchange for Wu Qinghou's help."
The queen mother was stunned for a moment, blinked and said: "Don't rush to make a decision for Nan Zhu, what if she wants to marry He Yunxiao?"
Meng Qingqian said: "Queen, Nanzhu is pure in nature, how could he like He Yunxiao's misbehaving dude?"
The Empress Dowager said: "I see that Yunxiao is very sensible, why is he misbehaving? You are not too young. If you don't need to supervise the country, you really can't get married. How can the Queen Mother let this good thing of marriage fall to Nanzhu?" on the head?"
Marrying He Yunxiao is a good thing...
Meng Qingqian couldn't understand the queen mother's character best.
Sometimes, she even felt that Nanzhu was the queen mother's biological daughter.
The queen mother sees people doing things, and likes to rely on feelings and intuition.
Hearing that He Yunxiao was very handsome, she probably only made decisions based on her appearance.
Meng Qingqian understands that it is absolutely unreliable to rely on looks to get married.
Marriage, especially the marriage of a princess of the royal family, needs to be considered in many ways. Personal factors such as appearance and feelings are the least things to consider. Which dynasty's princess married not for the benefit of the entire royal family
Meng Qingqian asked herself that she still cared about her younger sister Meng Qingrou, but if Fan Yu was not invited, the Meng family's predicament would not be resolved. At that time, if she needed to throw her sister to He Yunxiao, she would not hesitate.
Children of the royal family enjoy preferential treatment on weekdays, but naturally the royal family should be given priority at critical times.
As for herself, Meng Qingqian only hoped that after she handed over to the sage, she would be able to shave off her hair and become a nun, and be at ease from now on, without worrying about worldly affairs.
As for marrying and being a wife, taking care of her husband and raising her children, she hadn't thought about it at all.
I have been in a high position for a long time, and I have seen a lot of so-called outstanding people. The more she watched, the more disappointed she was with them.
Meng Qingqian didn't believe in Buddhism, so she shaved her hair and became a nun, just out of disappointment. Because in this world, there is no man who is qualified to get close to her, or even share the same bed.
…
When going out of the palace this time, Meng Qingqian did not bring her personal guard maid, but only brought Jian Ling.
Jian Ling specializes in kendo, and his martial arts has reached the peak of the ninth rank. With her protection alone, it can be equivalent to a whole team of guard maids. There are too many waitresses and they are too ostentatious. Now they are acting secretly, which is very inconvenient.
Since the Antler Academy is basically full of men, in order not to attract attention, the two had to disguise themselves as men and sneak into the academy to meet Fan Yu.
The reason why Meng Qingqian was so cautious was because she must never let the surname Han know about seeing Fan Yu.
It is difficult to invite one person out of the mountain, but it is very simple to prevent one person from the mountain. If the surname Han knew that he had gone to see General Fan, then the matter would be almost hopeless.
Jian Ling's face is not feminine, and it is very suitable for a woman to disguise herself as a man, and there is almost no sense of disobedience. With a sword intent, he is naturally a swordsman who walks the rivers and lakes.
But Meng Qingqian was miserable.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the disobedient pair on the chest is very difficult to deal with.
Wrapping her chest in several layers and matching it with loose clothes made her look more normal.
Even so, after she put on men's clothes, her feminine and beautiful facial features could not be changed. Coupled with her fair and delicate skin, she felt that she could not deceive anyone at all.
In desperation, he smeared some yellow powder on his face to make his face not so beautiful and fair, so he looked a bit like an ordinary son.
The two of them sat in the carriage that the palace maids would usually take when they went out to buy things, and secretly went to the Antler Academy.
In the car, Meng Qingqian asked, "Jianling, do I look like a man?"
"Not like."
Meng Qingqian frowned and said, "I'm not like a man, so I can't be too ostentatious. In this way, after entering the academy, I will find a secluded place to wait, and you can go to Fan Yu to meet me."
"good."
Arriving at the gate of Lujiao Academy, Meng Qingqian was worried about her exposure, so she didn't dare to stay too long, got out of the car, and walked towards the academy.
As soon as he entered the gate of the academy, the disciples of the academy began to talk about He Yunxiao.
Even though she had heard that He Yunxiao was very handsome, she had no intention of looking back. No matter how handsome the appearance is, it is just a skin.
She seized this rare opportunity of not being noticed, and whispered: "Jianling, someone distracted us for us, let's go."
"good."
The two quickened their pace and quickly disappeared into the quiet path of the academy.
After finding a secluded place where no one was around, Jian Ling bid farewell to the eldest princess and went to invite General Fan Yufan alone.
Meng Qingqian stood alone on the deserted path, even though it was a rare opportunity to leave the palace, at this moment she did not dare to relax at all, and was still thinking about the situation in the court.
Only a moment passed by, and Meng Qingqian felt exhausted.
She didn't know when she started to develop a bad habit, that is, when she was thinking, she had to eat something sweet. If you don't, you won't be able to plan with all your heart.
But this time the palace was too hasty, and there was no time to bring some candied fruit.
Fortunately, there is no such thing as an absolute path.
On the tree next to the path, there are sweet fruits.
Meng Qingqian raised her head and chest, looked left and right, and when she found that there was no one there, she walked under the tree and tiptoed to reach for the fruit on the tree.
It's just that she overestimated herself a bit.
Even if you stand on tiptoe, you can barely catch the branches.
She is definitely not short, her net height is close to 1.7 meters, and she is even taller with shoes on. It's just that the trees in the academy grow well, much taller and more lush than those in other places.
But that didn't bother her either. Ripe fruits can't help shaking. Usually, when the wind blows, they will fall better.
Meng Qingqian shook the branch, but found that the branch didn't give face at all, not even a single fruit could be shaken off.
After reconfirming that there was no one left or right, she became more courageous.
Simply shake vigorously.
This time it really worked, and the fruit fell like rain for a while.
There was a blind one that hit her smooth forehead directly.
"Oops! It hurts."
Meng Qingqian rubbed her forehead and cursed at the fruit tree: "Bad thing, hit me, right?"
Anyway, this place is not a palace, and no one saw it, so she simply acted like a child, picked up some rotten fruits, and buried them under other trees.
After doing this, she felt much better in her heart. The long-term stagnation due to the backlog of political affairs has also dissipated a little.
Meng Qingqian simply didn't think about any major family and country affairs, and just wanted to do what she wanted to do, so she did it.
Like a girl in an ordinary family, she picked up a fruit, wiped it briefly, and put it in her mouth.
Feeling the sweetness in the mouth, Meng Qingqian's mood improved even more.
Eat another one.
she thinks.
So I ate another one.
Ate another one.
Until an ill-intentioned fruit core appeared where it shouldn't be.
The feeling of suffocation occupied all her consciousness for a while.
Cough cough cough!
So sad…
I haven't met General Fan yet... I can't...
Even at this time, she is still evaluating Daqi's court situation.
Just when Meng Qingqian fell into chaos and despair, a pair of powerful arms wrapped around her waist, and instantly dragged her back from the road leading to the underworld.
A male voice like the sound of heaven came.
"This aunt... let's say I'm a classmate's young master, are you alright?"
The heart that had been running wildly just now because of the life crisis hadn't calmed down yet.
Meng Qingqian looked up, and He Yunxiao's handsome face and caring expression instantly caught her eyes, and they were firmly engraved in her mind.
Affected by some unknown reason, her racing heart still had no intention of stopping.
At this moment, subconsciousness defeated reason and temporarily took over Meng Qingqian's consciousness.
This kind of handsome, honest and reliable feeling, she has only felt in two men in her life. So subconsciously, she thought that the man who saved her was the late emperor who was able to bear the burden of the state of Qi for her, but had already passed away.
Meng Qingqian murmured involuntarily: "Father..."
