Chapter 172: Privileges, Rumors
In the Huaide Palace, Emperor Meng Zhao dealt with the twists and turns for more than an hour. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He seemed to be a little tired, and got up and walked around the hall a little twice.
Looking at Meng Xia, who was still dealing with the excerpts according to his words and was in a very good spirit, Emperor Meng Zhao couldn't help but nodded, and said secretly-It's good to be young!
He sighed in his heart that although he was in the prime of life, he couldn't compare with these teenage children.
"Axia, how many more?"
Seeing that Meng Xia spread out a new one, Emperor Meng Zhao thought about it and said directly: "The rest of the pile is not particularly important, and you don't have to read and listen to them one by one, just let you directly take the idea and approve it." ”
Over the past year or so, Meng Xia has dealt with a lot of twists and turns for him, this child has been meticulous and conscientious, never made the slightest mistake, never served the pampered and arrogant, and never had the slightest misconduct and transgression.
Because of this, Emperor Meng Zhao became more and more at ease, and some special rights given to Meng Xia gradually increased.
"Father, do you have anything else to deal with? If so, these folds will be dealt with with by your sons when you come back from your busy work. ”
Meng Xia did not directly receive the order, but clearly excused himself: "Erchen doesn't dare to approve the fold for his father alone, if this is passed out, if someone plays a book and puts those big hats on Erchen, Erchen really can't wash it by jumping into the Yellow River." ”
"Nonsense, I asked you to approve it, who dares to charge you with indiscriminately?"
Emperor Meng Zhao said with a smile: "Not only today, in the future, you can approve some irrelevant excerpts for your father, I want to see which bold guy dares to buckle a big hat for my ninth princess!" ”
"Father, then you are not afraid that your sons and daughters will not be able to do things effectively, what will happen to the excerpts approved on your behalf?"
Meng Xia got up, stepped forward to help Emperor Meng Zhao and asked with a smile: "If something goes wrong, this is the emperor's dragon face, and the sons dare not let the father carry this kind of black cauldron for Axia." ”
"You, you, what a ghost. But my father is really not worried, our Ah Xia is smart, and my father believes that there will be absolutely no problems! ”
Emperor Meng Zhao patted his daughter's hand, and he was really full of confidence.
For more than a year, although Meng Xia did not approve the recital for him alone, but just wrote it on his behalf, in fact, many times, this girl's thoughts and ways of dealing with it coincided with him.
With this girl's heart and intelligence, it is not difficult to deal with these inconsequential folds, even if it is difficult to come up with problems.
"Since my father trusts Ah Xia so much, then Ah Xia must do his best to do this errand well, and never let down his father's trust!"
Seeing this, Meng Xia didn't shirk too much, and said at the same time: "However, when my father is free, I have to look through it again and check it for my son." ”
"Okay, good, you girl is so meticulous and cautious, my father is very happy!"
Emperor Meng Zhao nodded and said, "That's okay, my father has some other things to do, so I'll leave first." You can work harder, and when you're done with the rest of the folds, go back to rest. I will let Liu Lida stay here and wait for his life, and you can explain anything to him. ”
After that, Emperor Meng Zhao really didn't stay any longer, and left the Huaide Hall with people first.
He walked quite fast, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to go somewhere, Meng Xia naturally didn't ask much, and after silently sending off Emperor Meng Zhao, he returned to her exclusive seat again to continue to approve those folds on behalf of Emperor Meng Zhao.
"Congratulations to the Ninth Princess, the emperor has now asked you to directly approve the performance for him, which shows that your status in the emperor's heart and his trust in you are unmatched!"
Liu Lida had already temporarily sent out some of the idle palace people in the hall, walked to Meng Xia's side, and congratulated with a smile.
In the past two years, he has watched these nine princesses gain the emperor's extraordinary favor and trust step by step, to put it mildly, I am afraid that even the emperor himself does not realize what such a right to give today represents.
Throughout the ages, except for the Son of Heaven and the appointed crown prince or individual regent in a special period, it is impossible for anyone else to have the right to deal with the approval of the book on their own.
"Father-in-law Liu, for my father, there is no irreplaceable person in this world."
Meng Xia raised his eyes to look at Liu Lida and said thoughtfully.
The king's favor has never been eternal, whether it is for his harem concubines, or for the princes and princesses.
These words made Liu Lida can't help but restrain the smile on his face, and at the same time nodded silently.
"I didn't expect the ninth princess to be so vigilant at such a young age, it seems that the words of exhortation that the old slave originally wanted to prepare after the congratulations are completely unnecessary."
To be honest, Liu Lida really admired this ninth princess more and more.
In his opinion, Meng Xia really has the qualities and abilities that all those who do great things should have, the only regret is that the last trace of blood of the Ji royal family is not a man.
Otherwise, he really felt that rejuvenating the Ji family's world was not just a fantasy.
Of course, Liu Lida is not saying that Meng Xia does not have the ambition and courage of being a man, but after all, she is the princess of the Southern Meng royal family, and she does not have that kind of innate mission and obsession for reviving the Ji family's world.
However, being able to see these nine princesses stirring up the world in his lifetime is also a good ending for him.
"My father-in-law has a heart, and I have had a lot of guidance and help from my father-in-law in the past few years, otherwise, I wouldn't have been so smooth sailing with my father."
Meng Xia sincerely thanked her, Liu Lida has helped her a lot over the years, and she has already become her absolute help in the palace.
This layer is unknown to others, but Meng Xia is never confused in his heart.
"The ninth princess is polite, in fact, the old slave didn't help too much, the most important thing is that the ninth princess is fighting for yourself."
Liu Lida said: "Look, which master in this palace doesn't have a better backing than a slave to support him?" But the question is, who can have the Sacred Heart like you? Others don't know, but the slave understands it very well, in the past few years, how much effort and sweat you have put in, Ninth Princess, is it comparable to ordinary people? ”
These are really not flattering words, Liu Lida really watched Meng Xia grow up step by step, under the surface of the infinite scenery, what is hidden is ten times or a hundred times more effort than others, but ordinary people don't know it, let alone understand it.
"Well, we don't have to compliment each other here."
Meng Xia couldn't help laughing, and then changed the topic and said: "By the way, Gonggong Liu, I remember that the day after tomorrow is your birthday, and I don't know what you like, when I went back to the Three Emperor Brothers' Mansion to congratulate you, I picked out a few gadgets for you in Guangxiang Pavilion by the way, and I will ask Xiao Qiuzi to send them to you later, and I don't know if you will like it." ”
Hearing this, Liu Lida immediately stepped forward and saluted Meng Xia, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Ninth Princess, Princess Lao Jiu remembers the birthday of the slave, which really makes the slave unhappy." ”
"Don't see it like this, it's just a little bit of my heart, it's good if my father-in-law doesn't dislike it."
Meng Xia raised his hand to signal that Liu Lida didn't need to be so polite, and said at the same time: "There is another thing, I'm afraid I have to trouble my father-in-law to help arrange it." ”
"The Ninth Princess just commands." Liu Lida didn't be polite anymore, but he was really moved in his heart.
In the past few years, every year on his birthday, the ninth princess will personally prepare some small gifts and send Xiao Qiuzi to him in advance.
At his current age, of course he doesn't care about those specific things, what really makes him feel gratified is the heart of the ninth princess.
"Does Gonggong Liu know that there is a show girl named Zheng Qin among the show girls who entered the palace this time?" Meng Xia asked rhetorically.
"Zheng Qin? Oh, the minion remembers, there is such a number one. Gonggong Liu thought about it and quickly nodded: "But the slave heard that this Zheng Qin has been in poor health, has been sick for a long time, and has never been favored by the emperor." That looks really good, but it's a little cold. Why did the ninth princess suddenly ask this, is it what Zheng Qin has to do with you? ”
Liu Lida is the best of the best, and when he heard Meng Xia suddenly ask about this, of course he quickly realized something.
Meng Xia nodded and admitted, "Father-in-law is right, I have already reached some agreements with this woman. In the past few days, her illness has been cured, but she still needs a proper opportunity to appear in front of her father. I think that if my father sees her this time, she will definitely gain a lot, and in the future, the new favorite in this palace will not be just the monopoly of the Xi nobles. ”
"I see, the ninth princess is quite thoughtful."
When Liu Lida heard this, he nodded immediately and said: "According to the slave, this night nobleman has indeed gone too far recently, and it is time for someone to come out and share the pet." ”
"It's okay for the noble Ruoxi to just compete for favor by herself, but she is mixed up with the queen mother, always pointing the finger at Mu Qing Palace, and constantly making trouble for Concubine Ning. In this way, it cannot be tolerated. ”
Meng Xia said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if something happens to Concubine Ning, I will be the first to be affected." Therefore, someone on our side must also be able to take the lead to contain the balance of one or two, otherwise the trouble will only get bigger and bigger. ”
"Well, if the Ninth Princess has already reached an agreement with that Zheng Qin, the slave also thinks that this woman is the most suitable candidate. At the beginning, the slave found that the emperor was still quite interested in her, but at that time this woman was too cold and arrogant. In addition, he couldn't afford to get sick later, and he didn't even present the brand, plus he was fascinated by the Xi nobles recently, and gradually forgot that there was such a No. 1 beauty. ”
Liu Lida said, but asked rhetorically again: "Ninth Princess, are you sure that Zheng Qin will really act according to your orders?" ”
The candidate is indeed a good candidate, and his appearance is enough to compete with the Xi nobles, plus a cold beauty occasionally pops up, as long as he caters to the holy will a little, he will definitely be able to please the emperor's sacred heart.
However, if this Zheng Qin is really favored, will he still honestly obey the orders of the Ninth Princess?
Of course, it's good to be able to control it, but if you can't control it, wouldn't there be another Xi noble?
Meng Xia understood Liu Lida's scruples, so he confessed: "Don't worry, this woman is absolutely reliable, as long as she can give her the most suitable opportunity, the others don't have to worry about it." She is very smart and safe, and she will definitely be an important helper in our harem in the future. ”
"Now that the Ninth Princess has been determined, the slave will make good arrangements. Please rest assured, the ninth princess, this matter can be handled by me. ”
Liu Lida packed the ticket, indeed, there is no one more neat and suitable to arrange such a thing than him.
Seeing that the matter had been explained, Meng Xia nodded and said nothing.
She quickly corrected the folds in front of her again, earnestly and attentively.
In less than half an hour, she had reviewed all the folds and checked them again, and then had them put them away and put them back where they should be.
When he was about to leave the Huaide Palace, Liu Lida got the news that his henchmen had just sent back.
"Ninth princess, the emperor went to the Xi nobles just now, and I heard that he had ordered the imperial dining room, so he stayed at the Xi nobles for dinner at night. The minion can't estimate it, and I'm afraid that I will stay there for the night tonight. ”
Liu Lida whispered to inform Meng Xia of the news he had just gotten, and at the same time secretly said that now the nobleman really fascinated the emperor a lot.
In the past, the emperor would never even throw away the political affairs that had not been dealt with, so impatient to go to which concubine, now this style, this night nobleman is really powerful enough.
"It turned out that I was in a hurry to go to the Xi nobles, when did my father, the emperor, become so anxious?"
Meng Xia couldn't help but smile, with a slight mockery on his face.
But it's normal to think about it, after all, Emperor Meng Zhao is just a normal man, he hasn't accepted new people for many years, and now he is safe and secure inside and outside, and he has a new beauty who is so stunning and captivating, and it is normal to indulge in sex occasionally.
"Ninth princess, the slave heard a message just now, I don't know if to talk about it?"
After a while, Liu Lida didn't answer Meng Xia's words just now, but looked at Meng Xia with a slightly complicated expression, signaling that he had something more important to say.
"My father-in-law has something to say, what else can't we talk about?" Seeing this, Meng Xia signaled Liu Lida to rest assured that he could come no matter what.
This is really rare, she seems to have never seen Liu Lida so serious and dignified.
"Ninth Princess, just now the slave listened to the report of his henchmen, saying that I don't know who in the palace has started to spread some gossip related to the Ninth Princess recently, although there are not many people talking about it in private at present, but this sign is a big problem."
Liu Lida did not delay, and said clearly at the moment: "Some people secretly spread rumors and maliciously spread gossip between you and King Ding, saying that the relationship between King Ding and you obviously exceeds the ordinary brother and sister relationship, and also said that there may be those unspeakable ......and unethical relationships between King Ding and you" (to be continued.) )
