Due to the case of Wang Zhaoyuan and Zhao Yantao, and they committed suicide in fear of crime, the original Jianmen guards Gao Yanyan and Luo Ji were not transferred back. The crown prince Meng Xuanzhe finally brought some of his own soldiers to the Sword Gate.

It's just that when he went, he openly brought five Meiji with him, which caused a lot of controversy, and it spread in the government and the opposition for a while.

When Meng Chang heard the news, he was drinking this year's new rain in the Ruixiang Palace, and directly dropped the Longquan kiln blue and white glazed lotus pattern tea cup in his hand, and his face was blue and white with anger.

Sakura looked at the broken porcelain on the ground, and the corners of her mouth twitched in distress. This is a new product from Longquan kiln this year, and only three sets came up last month, and Meng Chang directly gave a set to Ruixiang Palace. I haven't used it a few times in total, but now I have dropped one, and the whole set is useless.

Xu Rui gave Hong Sakura a look and asked her to step back first and not clean up for the time being. She herself did not comfort Meng Chang angrily, but sat on the side of a guqin and played a song of mountains and rivers casually.

After listening to the song, Meng Chang's depressed mood calmed down a lot. He held Xu Rui's hand and said faintly: "You don't want our children to be involved in court disputes. If he had helped me, why would I be so bored! ”

"Your Majesty, our child hasn't been born yet! Even if you ask him to help you, it will be ten years from now. Besides, I don't know if it's a princess or a prince! How can there be a ready-made son who does not need to be put in the hope of a child who has not yet been born? Xu Rui smiled and comforted Meng Chang.

She knew that Meng Chang was angry with Meng Xuanzhe. Meng Xuanzhe looked like he was addicted to wine in front of everyone and didn't grow up, but looking at his cooperation with himself last time, it was clearly not like that. Xu Rui vaguely guessed that Meng Xuanzhe probably had some deep scruples to do this.

Although Xu Rui didn't know the specific reason, since the other party had no ill will towards her, Hou Shu actually needed an older prince to stabilize the country, and she felt that she couldn't continue to cooperate with the other party.

"My sons, if one of them is a little promising, why do I have such a headache! Alas~" Meng Chang sighed, took the gilded stilted bird's beak wine jug on the table next to him, and poured it directly into his mouth.

"Your Majesty~" Xu Rui snatched the wine jug from Meng Chang's hand and motioned for the lime standing next to him to put it away.

Lime is the daughter of Xu Rui's second uncle, Xu Kuangyu's family. Because she was pregnant, the Xu family considered sending someone in to "help" her pet, so that Meng Chang would really fall in love with other concubines during her pregnancy. In their opinion, it is better to cheapen their own family than to cheapen outsiders.

Xu Kuangzhang is a concubine like Xu Rui, who has been raised with thousands of pets since she was a child, how can she be willing to agree to such a thing that will actually hurt her daughter? However, the Xu family grew up a generation higher than him, so he had to maintain Meng Chang's attention to the Xu family in this way, and severely criticized Xu Kuangzhang and said that he didn't think about the development of the clan, so Xu Kuangzhang had no choice but to let it go.

The patriarch of the Xu family chose and chosen, and finally selected the daughter of Xu Kuangyu's family, Lime, and let her temporarily enter the palace as a maid, accompany Xu Rui, and find an opportunity to attract Meng Chang's attention.

Xu Rui was disgusted by this matter. She remembered the story of the big Zhou and the little Zhou Hou that she learned in later life. After the Great Zhou fell ill, her father sent her sister to the palace in order to hold his family's glory and wealth, so that she won Li Yu's favor. After the Great Zhou, he was already sick, but now the situation is worse, and he died soon. Merry literati praise this kind of "beautiful talk" of sisters serving a husband together, don't you know how sad this kind of thing is for the person concerned?

It's just that the original owner didn't find out that she was pregnant, so this kind of thing didn't happen. In order to avoid Xu's father being criticized by other members of the Xu family, Xu Rui temporarily agreed to Lime entering the palace. Flies don't bite seamless eggs, and men who can be snatched away are not good men. The original owner's wish didn't say that he must grow old with Meng Chang, take a step at a time!

Meng Chang was slightly stunned when he saw the faces of Lime and Xu Rui, but with Xu Rui's voice, he quickly diverted his attention.

"Your Majesty, although the princes are sometimes uninhibited, they are still growing, and they can't define their lives like this. Like the prince, although he is a little romantic, he hasn't made any big mistakes over the years, has he? It's just that personal morality needs to be constrained, and it may not be that there is no talent for governing the country!

Besides, now that the countries are fighting, there is an older prince in Shu, which is more conducive to stabilizing people's hearts! ”

Xu Rui continued to persuade him as if she didn't see Meng Chang's eyes.

"I hope that's what you say!" Meng Chang's tone was depressed, obviously not holding out much hope.

Xu Rui changed the topic and chatted with Meng Chang about other things.

Meng Chang drank a lot of wine when he feasted with the ministers before coming to the Ruixiang Palace, and after being stimulated by Meng Xuanzhe's affairs, he was extremely sleepy after the wine came up, and finally fell asleep in the Ruixiang Palace.

Xu Rui asked Meng Chang to help him to rest in the inner room, and then he took the red cherry blossoms out by himself, and there was no one left in the inner room of the Ruixiang Palace.

"Mother, do you really want to go out like this?" Red Sakura was a little anxious. Isn't going out like this to leave a chance for Lime's little hoof? All she had to do was undress and lie down with Her Majesty, so that Her Majesty could see her when she woke up. With her status as a member of the Xu family, Her Majesty would definitely not treat her badly in terms of position. It's just that my own mother is miserable!

"Just get out like that." Xu Rui's tone was unquestionable. What is a bedtime? Without this person, there would be someone else.

The education of the ancient ladies that the original owner received made her not express any feelings for this kind of thing, Meng Chang thought that she really didn't mind, so she didn't have any idea of favoring one person. But it was not the same when it happened in his own temple. As long as it is a person, it should be able to think that this matter must be harmful to his own woman.

Alcohol can make people unconscious, but it doesn't make people really dim and recognize the wrong person. Nothing can be accomplished without consciousness. So whether these two people are interested in each other depends on whether they will push the boat and fake it afterwards.

If Meng Chang is really that kind of extremely romantic person, Xu Rui really has to reconsider whether she has to be involved with the other party in the future. The original owner's wish is just that he doesn't want the other party to die because of himself, isn't it?

As for Lime, because of the clan, he gave her this chance. If she really caught it, then she would only have this chance in her life. Xu Rui may not target her in the future, but she will never reach out to support her. After all, if she really chose to achieve her own good deeds in Ruixiang Palace, then she hadn't thought about Xu Rui a little. What else did Xu Rui help her?

Red Sakura was indignant, but seeing her mother's resolute attitude, she had no choice but to pout and follow.

Meng Chang fell asleep in the afternoon. Xu Rui broke away from his subordinates and took the red cherry blossoms out until it was dark, and then slowly ran back. Along the way, Xu Rui's mood was actually a little apprehensive, she didn't want to see any scenes of red being turned over the waves.

After returning to the Ruixiang Palace, Xu Rui saw the lime neatly dressed in the outer hall at a glance. Xu Rui cast a puzzled look, and Lime returned a frank smile.

Because of this frank smile, Xu Rui suddenly fell in love with this cousin who had never met a few times since she was a child.

In the inner room, Meng Chang was still asleep, and there was not a trace of messiness around him.

"Why didn't you seize the opportunity?" At night, Xu Rui retreated from everyone, leaving Lime to speak alone.

"My cousin and I have a last resort. But I don't want to do anything to hurt my cousin, and I don't want to cling to power. I hope to have a man who is completely mine, and I will work together for the rest of my life. Lime glanced at Meng Chang in the Jinluo quilt in the heavy gauze tent from a distance, and said what was in his heart indifferently.

Xu Rui looked at her clear eyes and asked softly, "Then do you have someone you like now?" ”

"Nope." Lime's answer was clear.

has no heart, and can be so determined, it seems that this is really a good girl! Xu Rui's eyes looked at the lime with a little more joy.

"You're a good girl with affection. If you really have someone you like, sue me, and I will definitely help you. Xu Rui took Lime's hand and promised.

"Okay." A smile bloomed on Lime's face.

Meng Xuanzhe took his five beauties to sit in the palatial carriage and marched all the way under the protection of 20,000 soldiers. After the group moved away from Shudu, Meng Xuanzhe put away the cynical smile on his face, and said to the other five Meiji in the car: "Thank you for helping me cover in the past few years." If you want to go, you can go now. ”

"Prince, don't you need us?" A slightly older Mei Ji said abruptly.

"What are you talking about? Xiaomei, you and Xiaolu, Xiaoju, Xiaohong, and Xiaoyu have helped me cover for me over the years, and we have delayed a lot of time. I owe you so much that I can't delay you any longer. I have prepared enough money for you to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. Find a good family to marry and live a good life. What future do you have with me? Meng Xuanzhe persuaded bitterly.

"Prince, if you hadn't saved a few of us, a few of us would have turned into a handful of loess a long time ago, where could we still live well in the world? We never think about how to live after leaving you, we are only willing to stay by your side to help you. If you really don't need us anymore, we don't know what to do in the future. But we won't drag you down either. As she spoke, Mei took out a shiny dagger and placed it across the front of her neck.

"Prince, it would be nice if you could give us a word. We don't drag you down. The other four women also took out their daggers and laid them across their necks.
