Chapter Twenty-Six: Tearing Face

Emperor Xuanjing was drunk and dreamed of death all day long, the Empress Dowager Meng's illness almost didn't ease up two years ago, Meng was so frightened that he couldn't wait to stay in Xinshou Palace all day, he was still happy with the Shu sisters in the West Palace, if the two sisters didn't mention it, how could they think of seeing any nephews and nieces?!

Empress Dowager Meng didn't even ask, she knew what was going on.

Because Rong Sleeping Crane had very frequent contacts with the Shu sisters during this time, and even the Shu family specially invited several experts who were proficient in music and rhythm to teach the beautiful girls in the clan, but fortunately, after Sheng Weiqiao's favor declined, he took advantage of the situation to strengthen the relationship between the two sides, so the Meng family was convinced that the Shu sisters wanted to take Sleeping Crane as their heirs.

At this moment, the Shu sisters pleaded with Emperor Xuanjing to summon Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao, who knows if they are going to talk about it?

The Queen Mother was anxious and had the heart to stop her, but she was afraid of tearing her face with her son, so she thought about it quickly, and said: "If the Son of Heaven wants to see his nephew and nephew, he will come to the mourning family.

Rong Sleeping Crane and Sheng Weiqiao really haven't had lunch yet, they got up too late today, and when they rushed from the Mizhen County Mansion to the Gaomi Palace, it was almost time for lunch.

After leaving the palace, Rong Sleeping Crane originally proposed to find a place to eat something and then enter the palace to meet him.

But Sheng Weiqiao was not very appetizing at that time, and thought that it was better to use some pastries to cushion the mat, and when he finished entering the palace, he would return to the county king's mansion to eat again, so he was also reassured.

Rong Sleeping Crane naturally depends on her.

I thought that I wouldn't stay in Xinshou Palace for long, but I didn't expect the Shu sisters to stir up the situation and cause the Queen Mother to open her mouth to leave for dinner...... Sheng Weiqiao heard that it was nothing, Rong Sleeping Crane couldn't help frowning secretly, thinking that in order to take advantage of the Son of Heaven's favorite concubine, he had gotten closer to the Shu family, but it was not okay to go on like this, and the Shu family interfered too much with him like this, but it would get in the way.

"Your Majesty didn't want to move, but after the persuasion of the two Shu Niangniang, he ordered to drive the Xinshou Palace, and it would arrive after about a stick of incense. Empress Dowager Meng didn't know what Rong Sleeping Crane was thinking, and after sending the palace people to the West Palace to spread the word, she thought about how to persuade him to dispel his mind if the emperor was willing to come...... That's even more troublesome!

The Queen Mother was not a very smart person, although she was determined to favor her mother's family at this time, but in the face of the Shu sisters' pampering and insisting on comparing herself with her biological mother, it was also a headache.

After a while, I heard the palace people who went to the West Palace to spread the word come back and say, "The two Shu Niangniang have prepared a meeting gift for the county king and the county princess, and said that the county princess can guess what it is first?"

Empress Dowager Meng's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, she thought about it, and ordered left and right: "Go and invite the queen over!"

After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Tell the queen not to forget the meeting gift!"

Originally, Empress Dowager Meng was angry with Sheng Weiqiao's "rebellion", and she didn't want her to have too many opportunities to contact the queen again.

But at this time, the Shu sisters want to accompany Emperor Xuanjing to Xinshou Palace, and they have to give a meeting gift to Rong Sleeping Crane and his wife in front of her, if the queen is not there, and not to say that the sisters will sue for this, saying that the queen is arrogant and rude, knowing that her nephew is going to enter the palace to meet after the marriage, she refuses to appear; even if the two sisters don't mention the queen at all, they accompany Emperor Xuanjing when they turn around, and they act as hostesses to send greeting gifts to their nephews and nephews...... I don't know, I thought that Queen Meng was beaten into the cold palace!

Empress Meng's face may not be so important, but as a relative, if the Meng family loses her dignity in the palace, and the henchmen outside hear it, who knows if they will have any thoughts because of this? !

The Queen Mother thought about it, so even though she knew that the next scene might not be a good thing for the queen, she had to call the queen over to support the scene.

Xinshou Palace and Wangchun Palace are quite far away, so Empress Meng has not yet arrived, and Emperor Xuanjing and the Shu sisters have already arrived.

After the emperor entered the palace, he sat down under the Empress Dowager Meng, and said flat, Sheng Weiqiao inadvertently glanced at it when he got up, only to feel that this son of heaven was a little fatter than last year, and his complexion was more ruddy, but it did not make people feel that the royal body was healthy, but there was a feeling of vanity.

Eighty percent was drinking before coming, even if it was across a danqi, Sheng Weiqiao at the bottom could smell the smell of wine coming from above.

She frowned secretly, and said in her heart how old is this emperor, and he still doesn't know how long he can live if he drinks all day long, and he doesn't know how long he can live?

Emperor Xuanjing's longevity Sheng Weiqiao is of course not very interested, she is mainly worried that once this emperor dies, the current situation does not know what to tear into?

And Rong Sleeping Crane hasn't had time to gather decent power......

"Emperor, are you eating wine again?" is also worried about the Empress Dowager Meng, the Empress Dowager has to think about her mother's family, but also feels sorry for her son, and she can't say that she is in a complicated mood, "Didn't the imperial doctor say last time, so you had better quit drinking?" You are not young anymore, and you will continue to drink like this...... But what should I do with the mourning family?"

Emperor Xuanjing didn't seem to be very sober at this time, and when he heard the words, he was dazed for a moment, and then said casually: "Don't worry about the queen mother, what I drink is not ordinary wine, but the medicinal wine specially prepared by the imperial doctor for me. I used to feel that I was not in good spirits, but since I drank this medicinal wine, I have become more energetic...... By the way, the queen mother is going to have someone send some to the queen mother to try?"

Empress Dowager Meng was annoyed in her heart and said, "Emperor, look at your current appearance, you look like you are in good spirits?"

Then he asked, "Who is the imperial physician who made the medicine and wine for you?" The mourning family should ask him personally, knowing that you should not drink alcohol, but still ......?"

"Don't be impatient!" Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows and said in a coquettish voice, "The imperial doctor who serves Your Majesty at this time was recommended to Your Majesty by our sisters, Niangniang shouldn't think that our sisters will be unfavorable to Your Majesty, right?"

This is actually true, the biggest backer of the Shu sisters is Emperor Xuanjing, no matter how charming they are, they will definitely not joke with Emperor Xuanjing's body, which is tantamount to pit themselves.

But the queen mother was very dissatisfied with the concubine's attitude of being an equal to herself: "The mourning family talks to the emperor, what are you talking about?!"

"Your Majesty, let's come and see the Mizhen couple. Hearing this, the concubine's face sank, and she was about to say something, but Shu Zhaoyi, who was watching coldly, pulled Emperor Xuanjing's sleeve and said coquettishly, "As a result, all this nonsense has left the couple to dry?"

Emperor Xuanjing was also very impatient to listen to the dispute between his mother and his favorite concubine, and when he heard the words, he pushed the boat down the river and said: "What Zhaoyi said is...... Mi Zhen, come closer, teach me to take a closer look!"

This sounds like an uncle's caring nephew, but when Empress Dowager Meng heard this, she raised her throat and eyes, for fear that Emperor Xuanjing would look at Rong Sleeping Crane and follow her feet, "I have no children under my knees, and today I am looking at my nephew Mizhen County Wang Cai and Look, and his character is valuable, so it is better to pass with me and think that it is the East Palace."

As for Emperor Xuanjing's disdain for Rong Sleeping Crane, this is impossible, there are only a few nephews and nephews of the emperor, in terms of appearance, talent, and relationship with the Shu sisters, Rong Sleeping Crane is outstanding, and he is also out of luck since he was a child, and his relationship with his biological parents is not very good, this situation is simply the best choice for adoptive!

"This kid is really spiritual!" Empress Dowager Meng was anxious, but Emperor Xuanjing ignored the worries of her biological mother, and saw Rong Sleeping Crane coming up from the side according to her words, and greeted her, and her appearance was both respectful and heroic, and she was full of the vigor of a man of this age from head to toe.

The emperor was stunned and regretful for a moment, praised it, and sighed, "If I have a child with the concubine and Zhaoyi, I don't know if I will be as good as him?"

Zhaoyi smiled and said: "The concubine and her sister are both blessed, and they have not been able to continue the heirs for Your Majesty." Fortunately, Mi Zhen is not an outsider to His Majesty, and His Majesty feels empty under his knees, so why not treat this child as his own?"

Zhaoyi's voice did not fall, and the palace was quiet for a moment!

Empress Dowager Meng's cheeks suddenly flushed with an abnormal flush, this is purely angry!

"There are not many descendants under Gao Mi's knees, and even Mi Zhen in front of him is only three concubines in total!" Although Chi Zuosi quietly pulled his sleeves in the back, signaling the Queen Mother not to sing against the Shu sisters in public, lest Emperor Xuanjing pull the favor of the concubine, making it difficult for the Queen Mother to step down.

But Empress Dowager Meng still couldn't help sneering at this time, "Especially this child is still living in exile since he was a child, and it was easy to recognize him last year, if it weren't for him coming back, I don't know if Princess Gaomi would be able to survive until now! Zhaoyi opened his mouth to ask the emperor to treat Mizhen as his own, is this a deliberate attempt to force Princess Gaomi to death?!"

"Why is the Queen Mother so angry?" Shu Zhaoyi heard this, and said softly, "The concubine just can't bear to see that His Majesty has not had a son and a half daughter in front of her, and when she saw that the King of Mizhen County was young and handsome, she sighed with emotion, so she gave Your Majesty an idea! Now that Your Majesty has not yet agreed, the Queen Mother is so hurriedly blocked, as if she is tired of the King of Mizhen County." The Queen Mother also said that the King of Mizhen County failed to grow up in the royal family when he was young, and it took more than ten years for the poor to reunite with his blood relatives.

Empress Dowager Meng had a gloomy face and said: "The matter of the emperor's heir is related to my great Mu for thousands of generations, even the queen does not dare to put his beak at will, how can you be a little Zhaoyi who can talk too much?!"

Shu Zhaoyi said calmly: "As the saying goes, the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." It is precisely because of the emptiness of His Majesty's knees that it is related to my great Mu for thousands of generations, the queen can't bear to ask, and the concubine has been loved by His Majesty for many years, but she can't pretend to be confused!"

"You are simply reasonable!! Empress Dowager Meng trembled angrily, and took the case, "If it weren't for you two cheap women, the emperor wouldn't have a son and a half daughter until now?!"

"What the Queen Mother said is really ridiculous!" Shu Guifei interjected coldly, "Isn't it what you and the Meng family want to see if Your Majesty has no children under her knees?"

"Presumptuous!" the Queen Mother suddenly raised her voice, "You bloody, dare to talk to the mourning family like this?!"

Concubine Shu was not afraid: "The concubine is from a humble background, and she can't get into the eyes of the Queen Mother, but in front of Her Majesty, please don't mess around like this!

"If it weren't for the seduction of you two cheap maids, the emperor who mourns the family would have been able to become a generation of Ming Jun......" Empress Dowager Meng's vocal cords choked, and she was only halfway through her words, when she was interrupted by Shu Zhaoyi's soft surprise voice: "The meaning of the Empress Dowager's words is that Your Majesty is not a Ming Jun now?

Immediately turned to Emperor Xuanjing, "Your Majesty, then the Meng clan is really too much! I dare to snatch your credit, this is simply an attempt to rebel!!"

…… Sheng Weiqiao looked at this scene dumbfounded, she thought that today she was just going to go into the palace with Rong Sleeping Crane to have a few points and go through the motions, but looking at this posture, this is going to tear her face directly?

"Emperor, what do you say?" After looking at each other with Shu Guifei and Shu Zhaoyi for a while, Empress Dowager Meng took a deep breath, suppressed her desolate mood, and asked Emperor Xuanjing in a deep voice, "Do you really want to succeed Mizhen?"
