Chapter 316: Reward
"There are not many people, and it is easy to arouse the alarm of the other party. Meng Qingquan said.
"Let the old wolf go. Meng Yuanxiang thought for a while and said.
The old wolf is not an ordinary guard, he is a Jianghu man he saved during his tenure in Huizhou, and he has always stayed by his side and become his confidant.
Meng Yuanxiang instructed the old wolf to stay outside the south gate of the imperial city, and wait for Liang Xinming to leave the palace, monitor and find an opportunity to assassinate her, "Liang Xinming has been assassinated many times and will not die, there must be masters around him." That Zhao Ziyi is not an idle person, you have to be careful. ”
The old wolf was wrapped in a black cloak, covering his head and face, and blended into the flow of people on the street.

In the palace, Wu Guiren waited all night.
Early the next morning, she asked the palace maid to inquire about the situation last night, and the palace maid's reply made her stunned: The emperor played chess with Liang County Order all night last night. The foolish waiting, the deep disappointment, and the sour resentment all converged into humiliation and anger at this moment.
Liang Xinming is simply the Longyang Jun of Dajing, who has fascinated Wang Heng into a broken sleeve and come to confuse the king again! When he thought that in the future, the emperor would ignore the women of the harem but favor a handsome courtier, and Wu Guiren felt that the future was bleak.
Before she could figure out how to deal with Liang Xinming's external trouble, Xiaoxi went back and forth: Last night, Concubine Dong personally sent a supper to the emperor and Lord Liang, and the emperor praised Concubine for her heart.
Wu Gui said angrily: "She did it on purpose, on purpose!"
Can you still fall asleep after eating such a sumptuous supper at night? In the end, the concubine has been in the palace for a long time, and she will compete for favor than her, look at this method...... However, as the emperor's concubine, she deserves to die so much about the emperor's dragon body!
Wu Guiren was very tormented, and he didn't have an idea after thinking about it.
Since the day she entered the palace, she has put on an indisputable posture, and Emperor Jing Kangdi often said that she "has no distractions, calm and pleasant". If she made a move about last night's events, such as going to the queen and saying that Liang Xinming charmed the king with a man, the image would collapse. At that time, not only will the concubines squeeze her, but even the emperor will no longer favor her. If she just ignores it, she can't let it go.
She felt that she was one level closer to Meng Qingquan, she seemed to see her future, waiting and waiting for a longer and more lonely time than Meng Qingquan.
She turned into Meng Qingquan and saw behind Meng Qingquan's miserable end:
What is wrong with Meng Qingquan's marriage contract between Wang and Meng's parents?
The Wang family married Lin Xin'er, and no one knew how many years it had been, and if Wang Heng hadn't said it himself, who would have known? The Wang family's elders concealed this matter, and their intentions were self-evident, and they disliked Lin Xin'er's poor family background! After Wang Heng recovered from his illness, he wanted to marry a woman from an official family for him again. Who knows what is the dirty inside story of Lin Xin'er's death, maybe it was done by the Wang family themselves. Because Wang Heng did not forget the child daughter-in-law, the royal family couldn't resist him, and he went higher and higher in his career, and Meng Qingquan became an innocent victim.
Wu Guiren used to appreciate Wang Heng's deep affection, but now he hates it very much: it's just a gesture. He should have guessed that it was his relatives who killed the child daughter-in-law, so he felt guilty, but he used Meng Qingquan's life to fill it. If that Lin Xin'er hadn't died, Wu Guiren would never believe that he would have been so affectionate to her all the time. Maybe, he will do something with Meng Qingquan. It's not impossible to spoil a concubine and kill his wife like him Lao Tzu......
Wu Guiren thought of himself again: although she was favored by the king, I don't know how many people regarded her as a thorn in the side, and all kinds of means were used;
She couldn't help but burst into tears.
shed a few tears and hurriedly wiped them away.
Who knows if the emperor will come today?
If you see that her eyes are red and swollen, how do you explain it?
She became worried, and hurriedly called Xiaoxi to fetch water to wash her face, and then put on makeup again, cleaned up and refreshed, and waited for the Son of Heaven who didn't know when it would come.
After washing her face, she finally came up with an idea: she wanted to join forces with Meng Qingquan, echoing each other inside and outside the palace. Meng Qingquan is about to marry Zhao Shizi, his identity and status are very different from the past, such a turnaround is really refreshing!
She was busy greeting the emperor yesterday, and she didn't know what happened in the Suzaku Palace.
……
Liang Xinming didn't know that he had an inexplicable rival out of thin air.
In the imperial study, Shen Hai commanded the palace maid to bring toiletries, and Liang Xinming brushed his teeth and washed his face with the emperor. After washing, the palace maid opened a delicate porcelain vase and held it in front of Emperor Jing Kang with both hands. Emperor Jing Kangdi picked a ball and wiped it on his face, and while rubbing it, he beckoned Liang Xinming: "Liang Qing, come and wipe this." ”
Liang Xinming was fortunate to enjoy the emperor's beauty cream, which was refreshing and refreshing, and had an indescribable aroma, unlike the sweet fragrance of women's fat powder.
When Emperor Jing Kangdi saw her index finger dipping in grease and sniffing under her nose, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "When will Aiqing go back?" There are still a few days before the New Year, it is better to wait for the New Year to go on the road, so as to save the cold and the cold, and the New Year is still adrift." ”
Liang Xinming hurriedly said: "The New Year is to reunite with the family. Weichen is entering Beijing for official business, since the official business is over, it makes no difference whether he is celebrating the New Year in the capital or halfway through the New Year. If you go back early, you won't have to worry about your wife and daughter. The official affairs of the yamen could not afford to be delayed. ”
Emperor Jing Kang muttered: "It's okay." He glanced at her again, turned around and instructed Shen Haidao: "Is the sea otter skin garment ready?" ”
Shen Haidao: "Yes, Your Majesty." "Hurry someone to get it.
Emperor Jing Kang said to Liang Xinming again: "The sea otter skin from the north was paid tribute - the one I wore yesterday - there is still a little left, and when I saw Aiqing wearing it thin the day before yesterday, I rewarded it to Aiqing, and asked them to make it according to Aiqing's size." ”
Liang Xinming hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
This is a year-end benefit, and it is also a face, not to mention anything else, the emperor's thoughtful heart alone is much more sincere than casually rewarding any gold and silver treasures.
Jing Kangdi hurriedly shouted.
When he was young, Shen Hai's apprentice brought clothes: a leather vest and a leather cloak, saying that the leather was not enough, and after making a cloak, the rest was only enough to make a vest. The waistcoat is sleeveless, and the cloak is made of dark green satin, embroidered with ruyi patterns at the neckline, and embroidered with a pattern of flying thousands of miles at the hem.
Emperor Jing Kangdi immediately asked Liang Xinming to put on the vest and tie the cloak, and said with a smile after seeing it: "It's not bad." It turned out that there were also two ready-made ones, but there was dragon embroidery on them, and I was afraid that it would be overgrown and could not be worn by you, so they let them redo it. ”
Liang Xinming hurriedly said: "The emperor is bothered. Wechen was grateful. ”
Emperor Jing Kang waved his hand and said, "I have already gone to the court." After instructing her a few more words, she didn't leave until she finished explaining, and Shen Hai asked her apprentice to send Liang Xinming out of the palace.
Liang Xinming was in a hurry to leave Beijing, of course, not because she couldn't let go of the official affairs of the yamen, but because she was worried about Hui Niang and Chaoyun, and there was another important reason: in five days, her eldest aunt was going to visit, and without Hui Niang's cover, she was afraid of being exposed.
