Chapter 382: Meng's Scheme
Sheng Weiqiao was shocked when she heard this, because she fell into the water with Queen Meng before, and was trapped in Tingzhou with Gongsun Yingjiang and Gongsun Xi, who rescued people, for a while, before Li Shengxu rushed to pick her up on the shore and placed it in this mercy hall to clean up.
For such a big matter, the Lingbo Palace was still singing and dancing, and it was not affected in the slightest.
It can be seen that several nobles who are in charge of the house today have whitewashed the peace.
At this time, there was a fork in the Lingbo Palace, and it was necessary to tell Queen Meng, the middle palace that had no real power as a queen and had just fallen into the water, which showed that it was definitely not an ordinary thing!
So she subconsciously sat up straight and looked at Empress Meng.
found that Queen Meng's reaction at this time was very strange: the queen first showed a touch of melancholy and unbearable, but then turned helpless and indifferent, as if taking a deep breath, before asking: "What's wrong?"
"Miss Meng Shiyi, ...... with His Royal Highness King Guangling" Although Chunlai is older than Queen Meng and Sheng Weiqiao, after all, she is a palace maid who has never served the emperor, and she is a little embarrassed when she says this, and she pauses before continuing, "It seems that His Royal Highness the King of Guangling mistakenly entered Miss Meng Shiyi's retreat after drinking, and then mistook Miss Meng Shiyi for his concubine, so he ...... Now that the Queen Mother has fainted on the spot in anger, Concubine Mo sent someone to find her and ask the Queen Mother if she has woken up, and if she does, can she go to Lingbo Palace to preside over the overall situation?"
There was a brief dead silence in the room of the "......", and after a while, Empress Meng said, "You go and tell the people sent by Concubine Mo that the palace has just woken up, and you are still dizzy at this moment." But since the queen mother has fainted, this palace has to go over and see what she says! That is, this palace has to slow down to arrive, and ask the concubine to help take care of some scenes. ”
After Chunlai left, Empress Meng and Sheng Weiqiao continued to be relatively silent for a while, and then the queen laughed miserably and said, "You can see it?"
“…… I don't think you're trying to hide it from me. Sheng Weiqiao bit his lower lip, "Why?"
"What else could it be?" Empress Meng smiled self-deprecatingly and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is old, and my aunt doesn't expect him to have biological flesh and blood anymore, let alone others...... His mind is all on the Shu sisters, and it won't be my turn to give birth to an imperial heir, right?"
"So I can only pass by. ”
"It's just that Your Majesty only has two brothers, Gao Mi and Guangling, both of whom fought with Your Majesty for the throne back then, and they have never lost their coveting for the throne! The Meng clan naturally will not agree to Your Majesty's going to the end of your brother, nor will they worry that any of their current heirs will succeed Your Majesty. ”
After all, the youngest of their children began to remember. ”
"What's more, even if it is an heir who has no memory, he is not related to my Meng family, why should he take special care of my Meng family after he ascends the throne?"
"So ......"
The queen sighed when she said this, and Sheng Weiqiao was in a complicated mood: "So Zheng Guogong personally went out to persuade the Queen Mother to persuade Your Majesty to set you up as your successor, and then designed to let Miss Meng Shiyi and King Guangling give birth to an heir, and then pass it on to Your Majesty and be raised by you." In this way, the biological mother and adoptive mother are all Meng's daughters, and after ascending the throne, it is natural to value Meng's family. ”
Seeing that the queen nodded silently, she was silent for a while, and said, "You have repeatedly asked me before, what is your relationship with Miss Meng Shiyi? I thought you didn't want me to have other good female companions, but now you want to come...... In fact, you have long known that Miss Meng Shiyi will encounter something like today, and you are afraid that I will have a good relationship with her and will be sad for her?"
"Test my interest in Chongxinbo...... Probably because of this?"
"The Meng family decided to sacrifice the fourth room early in the morning, don't you want me to be affected?"
"Sixth brother, like you, is a kind-hearted person. There was a glint in Empress Meng's eyes, "You know, I used to be in the Zheng Guo Mansion, but I actually had no status. He was the only one who was gentle with me before and after being valued by my aunt. He never helped me, but I knew it was because he wasn't in a good situation. So if I could call the shots, I would never agree to sacrifice Sister Eleven. But ......"
She smiled self-deprecatingly, "Even I am a chess piece, what can I do? I can't help the eleventh sister, and I can't help the sixth brother, the only thing I can do is to try to get you away from their brothers and sisters, so that you may be better off now?"
"But you don't seem to be having much fun...... Also, a soft-hearted person like you, when I was not familiar with me, you took the risk to save me, and when you heard such a thing, even if you don't know the eleventh sister, I'm afraid you will be unhappy. Not only do you and Sister Eleventh know each other, but your relationship is not bad?"
Empress Meng's voice gradually choked up, "Do you remember that I wanted to match you with Yichunhou before? This is because my aunt was going to tell you to the sixth brother not long after she summoned you for the first time. Although the sixth brother is good, it is precisely because he is good that he absolutely cannot accept that he is the sister who was brought up as the pearl of his palm and was used by the Meng family like this. ”
"I don't just know this, but the rest of the Meng family also knows it. ”
"So ......"
"Next, even if the sixth brother doesn't have any accidents, he will definitely be sent to a position with no real power. ”
"Well, in fact, the sixth brother has never had much real power in his hands. ”
"I think the sixth brother must think that this is because he has no fame and is influenced by the late fourth uncle?"
But the fact is that Meng has long planned to use the fourth room as a stepping stone to continue his wealth, and the so-called "he flattered Jiaoyu, was recommended by Jiaoyu, and was valued by his aunt...... It's just a trap for their brother and sister to fall into the trap on their own!"
"You want Jiaoyu to dare not disobey my aunt before her death, and it can even be said that she flattered her in every way, and her aunt was still indifferent to their mother and son, and my late fourth uncle, when he was young and frivolous, was simply wanton and contemptuous of his aunt. How could my aunt promote him regardless of her previous suspicions because of the sixth brother's flattery a few times?"
"In the final analysis, it was Zheng Guogong and his three brothers who offered advice in front of their aunt, and they needed to use four rooms, so my aunt changed her pleasant attitude towards him......"
Empress Meng said this in one breath, and a clear tiredness and disgust appeared between her eyebrows, "So if you want to choose a husband in Chang'an, don't choose the Meng family, and don't choose the so-called young talents on the side of King Gaomi, how dirty and cool the Meng family is, I have seen it with my own eyes." And King Gaomi has been able to compete with the Meng clan for many years, I don't think he and his subordinates may be clean, and the 'epidemic' in the palace on a cold day, isn't it that no one knows the inside story until now?"
"People like them, rich and noble, but first, the future is unpredictable, and secondly, there are too many intrigues and cannibalism, which is very, very, very not suitable for a character like you. ”
"Therefore, if you want to choose a husband, it is better to choose Yichunhou, at least he is simple enough. ”
"......" Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what to say, in fact, she and Meng Guihuan hadn't met a few times, especially after getting acquainted with Queen Meng, she and Meng Guihuan basically met and nodded.
At this time, if you want to say how indignant Meng Guihuan is, it may not be.
But as the queen said, she always felt congested.
The royal family is the least senior, Zheng Guogong, Marquis Wu'an, and Marquis Chengyang, whether they are daughters or granddaughters, there are many of them.
Girls who are in the prime of life, just look at the people who line up to Wangchun Palace to talk to Queen Meng these days, you know how huge the number is.
These girls may not all like them.
Or they may not all be regarded as treasures by them.
Otherwise, Meng Liyi and Meng Liti before would not have booked their husband's house in a remote place so easily.
However, Meng Guihuan was raised by Meng Guiyu, the eldest brother, with hard work and regarded as a treasure.
But the three Zheng Guogong brothers chose Meng Guihuan to be the candidate to give birth to a royal heir with Meng blood.
It was nothing more than because the Meng family was powerless to resist their decision.
So even if they don't necessarily regard all the girls under their knees as extremely important, they also have the idea of "don't sacrifice my daughter or granddaughter anyway", so they sacrifice Meng Guihuan so lightly.
Thinking of Meng Guihuan's shyness in preventing Meng Shuangli from saying the name of Jinke Tanhua on the shore of Fangcai Lake, and Meng Guiyu's painstaking refusal to go upstairs after getting on the boat, Sheng Weiqiao felt an indescribable heaviness.
"The most important thing now is not that I pick a husband. Just looking at Empress Meng, who was also deeply hit, Sheng Weiqiao squeezed his fists hard, and said with a forced smile, "Let's hurry up and go to Lingbo Palace...... The concubine seems to have fallen on the boat just now, and now she is being taken by His Majesty and accompanied by Zhaoyi, and she doesn't know where to diagnose and treat it! In the end, the concubine is the biological mother of King Gaomi, and it is really hard to say what she will do at this time. As the queen, you can't afford to delay too much here. ”
The queen was a little stunned: "Let?"
"Don't you want me to accompany you?" Sheng Weiqiao hesitated, "But I don't think you've fully recovered...... Moreover, you seem to be more sad than me for what happened to Miss Meng Shiyi. I think it's better for me to go with you. ”
“…… I'm probably more sad than you, right?" Empress Meng wiped her face with her sleeve and said with a sneer, "After all, I can be regarded as having the same disease as her." ”
She let out a long sigh, "So don't come with me! We were born into a family like this, and there was no other choice." As for you...... I hope you can continue to live like this pampered and cared for. The Limbo Palace at this time must be very chaotic, and I don't want you to be swept into it. ”
In the end, the queen still did not agree to let Sheng Weiqiao go to Lingbo Palace to preside over the overall situation, although her extraordinarily pale face was set off by the gorgeous queen's court clothes, and she couldn't hide it even if she put on a thick layer of fat powder, she still insisted on boarding the chariot and leaving alone.
Sheng Weiqiao stood at the door of the Calyx Pavilion and watched the backs of the group disappear behind the grass and trees, and suddenly tears fell.
At this time, a hand stretched out next to her, wiping the tears with her thumb, Rong Sleeping Crane was a little surprised and asked angrily: "Good girl, why are you crying here alone?"
"Don't you know the news that Concubine Mo sent to tell you just now?" Sheng Weiqiao pushed his hand away, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, and choked up, "Miss Meng Shiyi was ...... She can't marry Jinke Tanhua, she has to enter the Guangling Palace!"
"That's it?" Rong Sleeping Crane's tone was a little helpless, "I thought you were being bullied or wronged again...... Miss Meng Shiyi, well, we promised that when she leaves the cabinet, we will give her a generous gift? But as for who she marries, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us? I remember that the good girl is not very good with her?"
Sheng Weiqiao said angrily: "Why are you so cold? You are just by the lake, don't you see it? Miss Meng Shiyi and Jinke Tanhua were about to become a couple, but now they are coming out like this...... Don't you think Miss Meng Shiyi is pitiful?"
"She is the daughter of the Meng family, even if the status of the Meng family in the Meng family has not been very high, but after all, she is a concubine. Rong Sleepy Crane said disapprerovingly, "So even if King Guangling already has a princess, how can she get a side concubine to do." With the Meng family as a backer, it is still the kind of side concubine who has to be polite!"
"Such a future is unimaginable for ordinary people...... So, what's so pitiful about this, and it's worth your crying for her here?"
Sheng Weiqiao's eyes widened: "But King Guangling is so much older than her, and she has grandchildren at this time!"
"There are more marriages in this world of eighteen brides and eighty langs. Rong Sleeping Crane couldn't sympathize with Meng Guihuan at all, not only because he had no interest in the delicate thoughts of girls other than Sheng Weiqiao, but also because he grew up on Tortoiseshell Island, and he had seen too many human tragedies...... He really doesn't feel any grievances?
How many people don't say that they are concubines for King Guangling, that is, they may not have the opportunity to enter the Guangling Palace!
Even if Meng Guihuan's ending is miserable, shouldn't all the female dependents who were taken captive to Tortoiseshell Island commit suicide on the spot?!
Rong Sleeping Crane muttered, "This little ancestor really hasn't suffered so much, and he actually cried," and said, "Besides, isn't Miss Meng Shiyi still in the Guangling Palace? Maybe after she entered, she suddenly found that everything in the Guangling Mansion was good, and it was simply her dream husband's family?"
"If you were to marry an old woman who was not a few years younger than your grandfather, who had a husband, a son, a daughter and a grandson, you would also dream of it?!" Sheng Weiqiao originally talked to Empress Meng quite sadly, but it would be even more uncomfortable if the queen refused to go to Lingbo Palace together, so he cried at the door of the Licao Pavilion.
But at this time, he was comforted by Rong Sleeping Crane like this, and he couldn't cry at all, so he picked up the corner of his skirt and kicked him twice, and said hatefully while walking in, "Ruthless and unjust...... Too lazy to talk to people like you!"
After walking a few steps and thinking about it, he looked at the deserted courtyard and frowned, "By the way, what about Yichunhou?
Shouldn't he be quietly tied up by the sleeping crane and sent to the sinking lake?
