Chapter 365: The Queen's Gamble
Empress Meng glanced at them and said expressionlessly: "The first time you saw Meng Guiyu, even if you asked him about him before, I may not know him. Let me tell you, if he is just a temptation with ordinary enthusiasm for me, or even with a little suspicion, we are cousins after all, even if I don't have a good impression of Meng, and I have long been disappointed in the so-called family affection, but after all, I was an ally at the beginning, even if I want to help Ah Xi, I may not be willing to calculate with him just face to face......"
When she said this, her face instantly became gloomy, and she said, "But since you have just judged our general conversation by reading your lips, you should also know how kind of warm and heartfelt he is to me......
"Even, killed Shu Guifei's master and servant?!"
Weiyin said: "Eighty percent of this matter is a lie to you, it must be that he wants to kill Shu Guifei and those people! However, what the slave doesn't understand is that even if it is sweet words to make you happy, it at least means that he attaches importance to you?"
"That's why I don't want to talk to him about any sincere feelings at this time!" Empress Meng sneered, "Your Majesty will ask for something! But you say, I'm going to ...... at this time." What could he ask me to beg me? I was too late to attach myself to him and please him, was it too late? He asked me out of the house, and walked here for a long time, asking about the situation outside these days, wondering how I had left the palace so well, and making all kinds of demands, all of which seemed normal to me. ”
"Because the contradiction between the Meng family and the fourth house is very deep, even if I hate the Meng family house very much, but Meng Guiyu, as the brother of the fourth house, will he be angry with me, the daughter of the big house, who knows?!"
Especially his sister Meng Guihuan, who he regarded as the pearl in his palm, died in the Guangling Palace. ”
"I, the queen who everyone thought would never survive, was sent over peacefully by his wife and asked him to protect and take care of him...... Do you think he'll have no problem at all?"
"But he kept saying that he would treat me as a sister from now on...... I don't know what other people will think when they hear this, anyway, I immediately remembered that when the family decided to let me enter the palace as a queen, almost everyone in the Meng family said that I was good and said that I would follow ...... After entering the palace, no matter what, you can't forget Meng's nurturing grace and cultivation, you have to learn from your aunt, and remember to fight for benefits for Meng's family all the time......"
She had a look of disgust on her face, "Therefore, the more beautiful Meng Guiyu said just now, the more unbearable the price he wants me to pay, in my opinion...... I thought that even if we were a little discordant, at least we had sympathy for each other, and we always had some affection!"
"Now it seems that it is all self-inflicted, but why should it be involved?
Wisher Heart said softly: "Niang Niang is neat and neat, and there is a lot of women who don't let the eyebrows go! We can meet you, it's really a blessing for three lives!"
Empress Meng ignored this, and only said: "Calculate the time, my aunt is about to wake up, you can go with me over there to pick some fresh bouquets and bring them back to make her old man happy! My aunt is also a miserable life, and she has not enjoyed a day of happiness when she was the first emperor! At that time, Meng could still say that she couldn't help her at all, and she was powerless. After becoming the queen mother, she was coaxed to help by her mother's brothers almost all her life, and even ended up in a bleak situation where she was so old that she didn't even have a grandchild...... Right now, it's even more upside down, and I can't even live in the imperial city!"
She thought silently in her heart: "Ah Xi is the close attendant of the King of Mizhen County, judging from the attitude of Dong Liang and others towards him, he is obviously very favored by Mizhen. And Mi Zhen itself is deep and cunning and wise, probably because of this, he has always protected Ah Xi very well, Ah Xi is worse than Dong Liang in calculating people's hearts and ruthless and unrighteous, so now he doesn't care how much he really wants me, because of the truth of husband and wife, how much is he indebted and remembered?"
Then she must catch it.
After all, when the Meng family was still intact, she was certainly the queen, but because she had no favor and no power, the real nobleman looked at her with contempt in her heart.
Now that the Meng clan is gone, Emperor Xuanjing is also at sunset, and the world, which was originally too peaceful and stable, is now in turmoil.
Gongsun is very talented, and he is close to the water and the tower is the first to get the moon, and he grew up with the sleeping crane.
In the future, as long as Rong Sleeping Crane does not fall, his future is completely conceivable, and he is a ready-made hero of the founding of the country.
Such a character, even if he has an affair with the queen now, what about the future?
Not to mention this era of wars and heroes, Gongsun Xi, as Rong Sleeping Crane's confidant, will never be able to guard Queen Meng every inch, and even when performing many tasks, Queen Meng must be left behind for a long time, how long can the relationship between the two be not deep, more like impulse, how long can it last;
Let's just say that Queen Meng has a good life, she has a long-term affection and is willing to be responsible, and she is still willing to marry her when she becomes famous in the future...... Others will say yes?
The first is Gongsun Xi's boss Rong Sleeping Crane, the queen has not met Rong Sleeping Crane very often, but because of Sheng Weiqiao, she thinks she also knows something about Rong Sleeping Crane.
Rong Sleeping Crane may not have much bad feelings for her, but he definitely won't have much good feelings.
If he really thinks about Gongsun Xi, he will definitely not let Gongsun Xi marry a woman who has no family background support, or is burdened by family history.
After all, Gongsun Xi himself is an orphan with no father, no mother, no brother, no sister, and no sister, and he is not the kind of person who is particularly deep in the city and can be calculated.
If Rong Sleeping Crane treats him as a sibling, he will inevitably choose the kind of family that is prosperous and sensible and knows how to advance and retreat as his Yue family.
The methods of this young county king, Queen Meng didn't want to understand at all.
What's more, Rong Sleeping Crane may not need to use any means at all, the friendship he grew up with Gongsun Xi is enough to affect Gongsun Xi in such a major event as marriage.
The second is those who want to marry Gongsun.
Just like in the past, they wanted their daughter to be the princess of Mizhen County, so after learning that Rong Mianhe already had Sheng Weiqiao in his heart, they began to work hard to murder Sheng Weiqiao's family, they would also spare no effort to try to kill Queen Meng so as to clear the way for their own girls.
At that time, Sheng Weiqiao had the care of the sleeping crane, and the support of her mother's huge group of relatives.
She Empress Meng...... No, what does she Meng Biyun have?
So she can only gamble.
Bet on the ancient saying that "the wife of the dregs will not go to court".
Because we have shared hardships, we have a reason to share joys.
Gongsun Shu and others fell into Shanglin Yuan, and Queen Meng thought that this was the time when God loved her the most.
As a deep girl, she doesn't have any reliable backers, nor does she have any outstanding skills. The only advantage, which is that the identity is still somewhat useful.
When she heard Gongsun Xi explain the situation, she secretly swore that she must perform well and make meritorious contributions, so as to strive for a long-term qualification with Gongsun Xi in the future!
If that fails......
The queen thought coldly in her heart: "I came to take the risk for Ah Xi after all, according to Ah Xi's personality, even if I marry a famous lady as a wife in the future, how much will I have a place in my heart in this life?"
Then she died without regrets, after all, for her life in the past ten years, there is too much sorrow and too little joy.
If so, be greedy...... That's really no fun.
Between her thoughts flying, the queen had already picked a bunch of flowers with her voice and heart, and Shi Shiran walked back to Chengluan Palace to see the Empress Dowager Meng.
On Meng Guiyu's side, after getting the permission of Queen Meng, he went straight to the place where the three little servants were temporarily placed to lead the people...... As the queen said, these three people are normal male heirs, not eunuchs, and it is not good to follow the queen into Chengluan Palace.
However, Empress Dowager Meng was very fond of the queen after all, so although she did not summon them unusually, she also ordered that she should not treat the queen's life-saving benefactor badly, and rewarded her with clothes and jewelry and other items as a reward.
At this time, the three of them were arranged to live temporarily in a courtyard outside Shanglin Yuan, and when they saw Meng Guiyu coming in person, they hurriedly came out to greet them, and they were all a little restrained...... However, if you look closely, you can detect that this kind of restraint is quite contrived, and the eyes flicker, but it is more meaningful.
Meng Guiyu didn't care about this, after all, in his opinion, these three people, together with the wisps and wisps in front of the queen, were not ordinary servants, but the henchmen carefully trained by Zheng Hou to preserve the bloodline in times of crisis.
And he is not the heir of the big house, although these people sent Queen Meng over to defect, it is suspicious to say that when they see him, they bow their heads and die to the ground.
He spoke in the name of thanking the three of them for escorting the queen, and after greeting them for a while, he asked them their future plans: "Since the queen mother has arrived here with Benhou, the future safety will naturally be borne by Benhou!
The three of them looked at each other, and only then did one of them, who claimed to be named "Meng Li", answer: "When the steward sent a few little escorts to the queen mother to go to the forest garden, he ordered everything to obey the queen mother's orders. ”
"The Queen Thank you for your loyalty along the way. Meng Guiyu said, "But you also know that the queen's identity is special, and now she lives in the Chengluan Palace to serve the queen mother, and in and out of the temple except for the female dependents." The queen thinks that you are all people who can achieve a lot of achievements, if you don't enter the palace, it's a pity, and she plans to let you work under the command of Benhou...... I don't know if you're willing?"
When Meng Li and the three of them heard the word "temple people", they all subconsciously shook the corners of their eyes, and then nodded heavily: "Lord Hou is willing to take in the little three, and he doesn't dislike the little three stupid, so naturally he can't ask for it!"
Meng Guiyu smiled mildly and said, "The three of you are also surnamed Meng, and you are all a family, so you don't have to say such a thing." ”
After thinking about it, he said, "Your former colleagues also came here first, why don't Benhou arrange for you to continue to work together?"
"Colleagues?" Meng Li heard this, but before he could answer, the little guy next to him, who claimed to be called "Meng Yi", had already sneered and said, "Master Hou, what kind of colleagues are those people? When they are in danger, they only think about themselves, and they don't care where their masters go! Such disloyal and unrighteous people, the little ones dare not be colleagues with them, and they have lost the face of their ancestors!"
The little guy who claimed to be "Meng Lian" also said: "Yes! Although the little ones are only humble bodies, they also know the four words 'Knowing Grace and Rewarding'! Meng's kindness to us is like a mountain, and they have encountered great changes overnight, isn't it just when they are used for us? These people only care about their own lives, and they have no intention of fulfilling their duties! Hou Ye is magnanimous, but we don't have such a mind! So I also ask Hou Ye to change his life, and the three little ones are really ashamed to be with them!!
Looking at the excited appearance of the three people, Meng Guiyu frowned slightly, but when he thought of something, he squinted his eyes and his expression changed.
