γ62 Chinese Networkγ., to provide you with wonderful reading.
"Brother Sheng has worked hard all the way, why don't you report a letter in advance, I can send someone to answer it?" At this time, it can be seen that the cultivation, or the city government, Meng Guiyu was silent for a while, and immediately got up as if nothing happened, and greeted Gongsun Xi while wearing clothes, "On the table over there is a new ginseng tea that is changed by the people at night, and Nasinu warms it, which is used for me to be thirsty in the middle of the night." If Brother Sheng doesn't dislike it, you might as well drink something to relieve the hard work of the road first...... I'll clean up my appearance and I'll talk to you. β
He said this calmly, as if he had not been disturbed by an uninvited guest in the middle of the night, but had personally greeted an old man who had come from afar.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xi frowned instead, and said in his heart: "Before, the king of the county was in Chang'an, and he came to deal with this Chongxin Marquis in person, I have never faced him alone, I just feel that he is a person who is good at forbearance because of many involvement." At this moment, the princess of the county is not wrong, this person is really not simple. β
He deliberately sneaked in in the middle of the night, in order to overwhelm Meng Guiyu first, so that this person would not dare to make any mess of himself in the future.
However, at this moment, looking at Meng Guiyu's calm and calm appearance, he was obviously not shocked at all.
"But this person's family background is weak, and there are no masters under him, as long as I am cautious, don't step into his trap, and dare to play tricks with me, their brothers and sisters don't think about it. Gongsun Xi was a little disappointed and a little displeased, and secretly thought, "He is a smart man, he should know when to keep to himself." β
After a while, Meng Guiyu came out from behind the screen, had already tidied up his clothes, and saw Gongsun Xi sitting at the table without moving, but he didn't touch the ginseng tea he recommended at all, and he didn't care, so he woke up Meng Yan who was with him at night, and asked him to go to the kitchen to prepare tea.
At the end, he came back to sit on the throne, and he didn't say anything, and asked directly: "Brother Sheng just said that he was ordered by the princess of the county to bring something to the queen's mother, but I don't know what this trip has to do with Concubine Mo's critical illness?"
Gongsun Xi said: "There is some relationship, but it must be done with the help of the queen's mother." β
"The queen mother and the princess of the county are like sisters, so it is naturally impossible to refuse the entrustment of the princess of the county. Meng Guiyu said gently, "In this way, Brother Sheng came to our mansion to contact the queen mother? β
Just said, "If Brother Sheng doesn't dislike it, why don't you spend one night in our mansion, and I'll take you into the palace early tomorrow morning, how about it?"
"You don't have to rest. Gongsun Xi sensed that he wanted to control the rhythm of the conversation, snorted secretly, and said, "It has been many years since the county king and the county princess left Chang'an. Why don't you tell me what happened and what you're doing?"
When he said the last sentence, his palm rubbed against the hilt of the knife at his waist, and his tone was calm.
Meng Guiyu's pupils shrank slightly, but he immediately returned to normal, and said with a smile: "Brother Sheng is not afraid to run around day and night, and I am naturally sacrificing my life to accompany the gentleman." However, Brother Sheng is running thousands of miles in the end, and he is also tired at the moment, so please use some refreshments to boost his spirits while listening to me and you talk carefully. β
At this time, Meng Yan knocked on the door and said, "Master Hou, the tea and snacks are here, are you going to send them in now?"
Meng Guiyu glanced at Gongsun Xi inquiringly, Gongsun Xi bowed his head lightly, so he raised his voice to call in Meng Yan, Meng Yan was very surprised when he saw Gongsun Xi, obviously a little bit unable to figure out when such a person came, but when he heard Meng Guiyu cough dryly, he quickly came back to his senses, arranged the refreshments with his hands and feet, bowed down at the end, and retreated out.
"Brother Sheng, please try this eel noodles in our house, it is the best dim sum of the chefs in the house. Meng Guiyu pushed a bowl of eel noodles towards Gongsun Xi, and persuaded him diligently, this eel noodles are boiled into a marinade and poured on the single pasta, sprinkled with a lot of green onions and coriander, and a few dishes of pickles next to it, which looks very appetizing.
Gongsun Xi hurried overnight, he was indeed hungry at the moment, he didn't shirk when he saw this, took the dishes and chopsticks, picked a noodle and tasted it, and started without finding anything abnormal, he was good at assassination and lurking, and he was also very experienced in using poison, but he was not afraid of what Meng Guiyu was doing in the noodles, and in the current situation, Meng Guiyu was counting on Rong Sleeping Crane to solve the matter of Concubine Mo's critical illness, and Bacheng would not do it.
When he was eating noodles, Meng Guiyu took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Since the county king and the princess left Chang'an, the government and the opposition have not been very peaceful these days. If you want to talk about it carefully, it's a long story......"
He looked honest, and sure enough, he started from the beginning.
But when he said this, it was enough to talk about the dawn, and he only talked about three or two things, during this period, Gongsun Xi finished the meal, and drank several cups of tea, but he listened carefully, but what Meng Guiyu said was strict and reasonable, and he couldn't hear anything wrong, just frowned: "This person is very treacherous, I just came to Chang'an, I don't have a credential in my hand, listen to his empty mouth and white teeth, how can I know the truth or falsehood?"
He thought that the most important thing in his trip was to solve the critical illness of Concubine Mo, not to deal with Meng Guiyu, so although he didn't like it, he didn't have a seizure, he just looked at the bright sky outside, and said: "It's not early at this hour, the Hou Ye is probably going out, right? I won't bother for now, you contact the queen mother as soon as possible, and arrange to notify me." β
Meng Guiyu was also a little tired at this time, so when he heard this, he invited him to take a rest in the guest house.
About half a day later, the subordinates of the guest house woke up Gongsun Xi and said that Meng Guiyu invited him to the study to talk.
After meeting, he told: "The queen mother already knew that Brother Sheng was coming, and she was very happy, and asked the princess about the current situation." I want to take you into the palace tonight!"
Gongsun Xi used to be a guard in Wangchun Palace, so he knew that the guards in Ouchi were very strict, he had always thought that he was skilled in martial arts and could go to the whole world, but after visiting the palace where the little prince died at night, didn't he immediately let Queen Meng know?
When he heard this, he was a little suspicious: "Can you go at night?"
"Brother Sheng probably didn't know that during this time, in order to make my eleventh sister's life in Guangling Palace's safer, I spent a lot of effort to please the two ladies in the palace. Therefore, everywhere in the palace gate, there is still some decency, even if you enter at night, it is not impossible. Meng Guiyu explained, "I just have to wronged you and dress up as an internal servant, otherwise the guards will not have a good time." β
Gongsun Xi took a deep look at him and said, "Chongxin Hou is really broad. β
"This is also the county king's absence in Chang'an. Meng Guiyu immediately said, "Otherwise, with the status of the county king in front of the two maidens, the people at the palace gate will not be able to rush up and take the initiative to curry favor?" Brother Sheng followed the county king, but there was no need to disguise at all. β
Gongsun Xi said: "Didn't the Hou Ye send a letter to the princess of the county, saying that those two had a gap with the princess of the county because of a certain reason?
Meng Guiyu said: "Speaking of this, I was about to go back and tell Brother Sheng. This time, Concubine Mo was critically ill, didn't the two kings of Gaomi and Guangling bring their children and grandchildren to the palace to visit? The two mothers almost summoned all the imperial nephews once, and it seemed that they wanted to choose someone to replace the prince of the county as their heirs. However, after looking around, no one was summoned again, and I saw that there was Zhuyu, the king of the county, in front of me, and I couldn't look down on anyone else. β
"The county king's literary talent and martial arts strategy, how can those people be compared?" Gongsun Xi has always felt that Rong Mianhe is the most outstanding talent in the world, although he is full of defense against Meng Guiyu, he is also bowed when he hears the words at this moment, and said, "But those two know the relationship between the county king and that one, this gap is not so easy to bridge, even if they feel that those people are not as good as the county king, it is estimated that they will still reluctantly choose one." β
Meng Guiyu said with a smile: "I'll tell you the truth: those emperors and nephews, maybe they still need to be the heirs of those two, but the king of the county, our county king is already in his wings at this time, just waiting for fullness, for these two in the palace, isn't it dispensable?"
Gongsun Xi also thought so in his heart, but he still said: "In the end, it is the favorite concubine of the Son of Heaven who obeys his words, and she should not be underestimated." β
"So I advise the princess not to come back to Chang'an easily. Meng Guiyu said, "Because those two usually don't interact with their mother's family often, they see Shu Yao at most, but recently they have frequently summoned their niece." According to the news from the palace, he wanted to recommend a side concubine or concubine to the county king, but the county king was busy with government affairs and had no time to take care of some personal matters. I don't know the person who has a relationship with the king of the county, did the two people in the palace in the capital want to fail to stuff people in the backyard of the king of the county, so they deliberately got close to the prince of Gaomi and other emperor's nephews, so as to put pressure on the king of the county?"
"Although I can't fully confirm the thoughts of those two, since they intend to serve the county king with their nieces, maybe they will treat the county princess as a thorn in the flesh. The princess of the county is now pregnant, and she can't be tossed, so it's better to avoid her edge...... Brother Sheng thinks so?"
Gongsun Xi said with annoyance: "Those two of you are lucky to meet Jinshang, do you think that our county king is also a mediocre and womanizer......? Is this the king of the county another who is now the only one who is focused on women, or is it because the king of the county can't live without them, so he must tolerate their nonsense and behavior?
Rong Sleeping Crane will be Sheng Wei Qiao a concubine at this time, Gongsun Xi is worried that this master is obsessed with beauty and forgets his ambitions, if he adds a few more beautiful and lovely concubines, according to Sheng Wei Qiao's temper, eighty percent will have a backyard dispute, and when the time comes, the chickens and dogs will jump all day long, how much time and energy will Rong Sleeping Crane have?
"Our county king is sober, of course not those two can be influenced. Meng Guiyu smiled, "Speaking of which, although they are famous all over the world, in the final analysis, they are just favorite concubines from dancing girls, and their horizons are narrow.
He tried to find out Gongsun Xi's admiration for Rong Sleeping Crane, and began to praise Rong Sleeping Crane continuously, sure enough, this hand was very effective, even if Gongsun Xi realized that he was deliberately pleasing himself, he still subconsciously looked pleasant, and said: "At this moment, there is still some time before the night, Hou Ye worked hard last night, and rest for a while, so as not to be sleepy when he meets the queen." β
And at this moment, Queen Meng in the Wangchun Palace was frowning at the palace full of silk and satin and pearl hairpins and jade rings: "Chunlai, you come to help the palace take a closer look, what is better to wear in the palace?"
