Meng Tian followed Chang Yu into Huayang Palace, and along the way, the attendants and maids in Huayang Palace all knelt on the ground after seeing Chang Yu, which made Meng Tian look a little surprised behind. You must know that in the palace is not as good as outside the palace, although kneeling in the palace is a common thing, but even if Chang Yu is the chief eunuch next to the queen mother, the rank is only three levels in the inner servant, far inferior to the CRRC Mansion Order in charge of the jade seal next to Ying Zheng, but even so, the CRRC Mansion Order is not allowed to let people kneel and worship at will in the palace. In contrast, Chang Yu should be second only to the Queen Mother in the eyes of Huayang Palace.

Meng Tian followed Chang Yu to the outside of the Queen Mother's bedroom, and Chang Yu stepped forward and shouted loudly outside the door: "Qi Yu Empress Dowager, General Meng Tian, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, asks to see the Queen Mother." ”

"Yes. A voice came from inside the palace, and then the palace door opened from the inside, Chang Yu was the first to enter, Meng Tian followed, and after the two entered, the palace gate was closed.

Huayang Palace is built by the grandfather of King Yingzheng of Qin for his favorite concubine Mrs. Huayang, the decoration inside can be said to be the best in the palace of King Qin, Meng Tian has been to Yingzheng's bedroom many times, but the queen mother's bedroom is the first time to come, and the feeling to Meng Tian is different. Ying Zheng's bedroom dress is not luxurious, but it gives people a somewhat depressing feeling, which looks more solemn. The Empress Dowager's Huayang Palace is extremely luxurious, and there are no less than five or six hundred candles for lighting as far as Meng Tian can see, not to mention the exquisite patterns carved on the pillars in the palace, and a huge curtain hanging between each pillar, as well as various gold ornaments in the palace, in Meng Tian's opinion, all this is really too extravagant.

Empress Dowager Zhao Ji sat on the seat in the deepest part of the palace in a brocade dress, and the table in front of her was full of snacks and fruits. Chang Yu stepped forward with Meng Tian and knelt on the ground, "Empress Dowager Qi, General Meng Tian brought it." ”

Meng Tian knelt on one knee and saluted with his fists: "Meng Tian, the commander of the forbidden army, has seen the Queen Mother." ”

"Meng Qing's family is flat. Empress Dowager Zhao Ji said.

Meng Tian stood up, this was the first time Meng Tian had seen the Queen Mother, he didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so young, but he thought about his mother for a while, Ying Zheng and himself were the same age, and his mother would definitely not be too old. Zhao Ji was born in a large family in Handan, Zhao State, although it was not a small brocade clothes and jade food, it can be regarded as worry-free food and clothing, and later married the proton Yingyi who was in Handan at the time, and lived a few years of poverty, but fortunately, Zhao Ji's foundation is good, and later returned to Qin State to become the queen first, and then Yingzheng's father died and became the queen mother, properly maintained, looking like a woman in her twenties.

Meng Tian saw the face of the Queen Mother, and was stunned for a moment, and was looked at by Chang Yu. Chang Yu gently slapped Meng Tian with his hand beside Meng Tian and said, "What is the matter with General Meng Tian asking to see the Queen Mother so late?"

Meng Tian sighed, noticed his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the minister served as the commander of the forbidden army for the first time today, patrolling the guards in the palace this evening, passing by the queen mother's bedroom, remembering that the minister had never asked the queen mother for peace when he entered the palace so many times, and passed by Huayang Palace today, so he came to ask the queen mother for peace." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao Ji smiled on the seat and said, "Mengqing's family." ”

"The minister is here. ”

"The Meng Qing family is serious, this palace knows that the relationship between the Meng Qing family and the king is very good, and the king has a lot better to have the company of your two brothers, so this palace is here to thank the Meng Qing family. Come and give Mengqing's family seat. ”

Taking the chair brought by the maid, Meng Tian sat on it and said to the queen mother: "Back to the queen mother, the minister is trusted by the king and can study with the king, so he has a good relationship with the king." ”

The Queen Mother continued: "In the end, the king is still too young now, and his ability is inevitably a little lacking, but fortunately, I have Lu Xiangguo in Daqin Wen, General Wang and General Meng in Wu, and young heroes like Meng Qingjia, the king has these loyal and capable courtiers to govern this country so well." ”

"Thank you for the praise of the Queen Mother, this is our duty as a courtier. ”

This is the palace door opened, and a chamberlain came in, who came in and knelt on the ground and said, "Empress Dowager, the king sent someone to summon the general to meet you." ”

The Queen Mother saw that Yingzheng sent someone to summon Meng Tian, so she had to say: "Since it is the king who summoned him, there must be something to discuss with the Meng Qing family, and in this case, there will be no more General Meng in the palace." ”

Meng Tian got up from his seat and saluted the Queen Mother: "The minister retires." With that, he turned and walked out of the palace.

Seeing that Meng Tian was gone, Chang Yu waved his hand, and all the attendants and maids in the hall all withdrew from the hall when they saw this, and only the Queen Mother and Chang Yu were left in the hall at this time. After seeing that there was no one else in the palace, Chang Yu walked on the throne of the Queen Mother, sat next to the Queen Mother, and then hugged the Queen Mother Zhao Ji in her arms, and at the same time kept blowing at the Queen Mother's earlobes with her mouth, and the Queen Mother did not seem to blame Chang Yu for her trespassing, but writhed all over her body under the stimulation of Chang Yu, and the hairpin on her head couldn't stop shaking.

Chang Yu said in the Queen Mother's ear: "You were stunned when you saw that Meng Tian when she saw your beauty, if I hadn't patted him next to me, I guess he would still be staring at you at this moment." ”

The Queen Mother thumped her fist on Chang Yu's chest, and said in a coquettish voice: "This palace looks at that Meng Tian is much better looking than you, it seems that your title of a beautiful man will not be kept." ”

"Yes. Chang Yu held the jade hand of the Queen Mother Zhao Ji and kissed it to her mouth, and said: "I think even if that Meng Tian looks more handsome than me, what if he doesn't dare to enter the palace to serve the Queen Mother, where can he compare to me, isn't it?"

The Queen Mother listened to Chang Yu talking sweet words in her ear, and for a while she was paralyzed in Chang Yu's arms, and said: "Bad person, you know how to bully me, come, wait for the palace to go to bed." ”

"The minions obeyed. After speaking, Chang Yu picked up the Queen Mother and walked to the bedroom in the palace. After a while, there was a burst of women's cries in the bedroom.

Meng Tian walked out of Huayang Palace, took the weapon in Fang Feng's hand, and then said: "Commander Fang, you lead the team back to the camp first, the king wants to summon me, and I will go home directly after I come out of the king." ”

After Fang Feng listened to Meng Tian's words, he saluted Meng Tian with his fists, and then took people back to the camp, while Meng Tian followed the inner servant who came to Huayang Palace to report the news to see Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng was still handling political affairs in Zhangtai Palace at this time, and when he saw Meng Tian coming in, he said, "Here, how is the Queen Mother?"

Meng Tian saluted Ying Zheng and replied: "The Queen Mother's bedroom is much better than your king's bedroom, and it is simply not on a grade." ”

Ying Zheng got up from his seat and stretched his waist, "Of course, I think my grandfather spent nearly half of the gold and silver in the treasury to build this Huayang Palace for my grandmother, but it's a pity that my grandfather is not in good health, and he kept filial piety for my great-grandfather for two years, and he returned to heaven after only three days on the throne, and within two years my grandmother also followed my grandfather because she missed my grandfather, so later my father took me and my mother to Qin, and Huayang Palace became my mother's bedroom." ”

Meng Tian listened to Yingzheng's words and said: " The minister thinks that there are many problems in Huayang Palace, first of all, in addition to the five hundred forbidden soldiers guarding a few gates in the entire Huayang Palace, there is not a single forbidden army inside, and then there is that Chang Yu, I found that his status in Huayang Palace is not ordinary, the maids and maids in Huayang Palace actually want to kneel and bow when they see Chang Yu, this is a etiquette that an internal official can accept, and also, that Chang Yu's skin is also good, how can he enter the palace cleanly, with his appearance can also mix well outside the palace, there is no need to say that he has to enter the palace because he has committed a crime, and we still don't know whether the evidence of his crime is true or false。 In short, all these mysteries revolve around the person Chang Yu. ”

"Not bad. After listening to Meng Tian's analysis, Ying Zheng said, "Chang Yu has seen this person alone, and his elders and widows are ashamed of themselves, and he really has a good skin." ”

Meng Tian said: "Your Majesty, this matter will be handed over to me, and I will definitely do my best to find out the origin of this concubine." ”

Coming out of Zhangtai Palace, Meng Tian left the palace, preparing to go home to rest, there is still a battle waiting for him tomorrow. Because Ying Zheng told him one thing just now, that is, Lu Buwei is going to visit his house tomorrow. Thinking of what Lu Buwei said yesterday in Drunken Xiangyu, Meng Tian was a little irritable, Zi Yanran didn't know about this matter yet, I really don't know how Zi Yanran would react after knowing about it.
