Meng Lang stood there, also silently watching Chu Zhengqian's back as he drifted away, until he couldn't see it at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He heard the inquiry of the person next to him, but he did not reply immediately.

Retracting his gaze, he looked at Meng Xia, and asked softly through the remnants of the girl's eyes, "Are you sympathetic to him?" ”

Ah Xia has always been smart, even if he doesn't know what exactly happened, but it is not difficult to feel the special emotion that Chu Zhengqian exuded just now.

"Sympathy is not enough, and there is no need for that." Meng Xia muttered, "I just suddenly felt that the contrast between him and his usual days just now was too great." Perhaps, this is what he was meant to be. ”

In front of the Third Emperor Brothers, Meng Xia did not hide his thoughts.

She remembered that when they met for the first time, Chu Zhengqian's expression when he mentioned his mother was obviously completely different from herself, but it made people feel so similar.

Perhaps, in essence, they are the same kind of people.

Hearing Meng Xia's words, Meng Lang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I also just learned that the Emperor of Northern Chu has officially established the crown prince, and the position of Prince of Northern Chu is no longer vacant. Looking at Chu Zhengqian's reaction just now, I thought that he knew earlier than us, but I didn't expect that he was in the Nanmeng Palace, and the news was extremely well-informed. ”

"That's ...... so"

Meng Xia nodded subconsciously, although such news was not unexpected, but when he heard it, he still didn't feel anything.

The matter of Beichu is not complicated, even she knows a rough idea.

Originally, it stands to reason that Chu Zhengqian is the only prince of the Northern Chu Emperor, and the position of the crown prince should have been Chu Zhengqian.

But in fact, since the Emperor of Northern Chu sent Chu Zhengqian to Southern Meng as a hostage, everyone understood that he had lost the qualifications and opportunity to be canonized as the crown prince, even if he was the first obedient successor of the name.

Perhaps for Chu Zhengqian, the real despair and pain is far from the loss of power, but the betrayal of his only relatives and the entire family and country.

"Chu Zhengqian's forbearance was beyond my expectations, and I didn't want to poke his sore spot in person at first."

Seeing that Meng Xia was thoughtful, Meng Lang simply said a few more words: "I heard that the Emperor of Northern Chu not only established the crown prince this time, but also supported the current prince's biological mother as the new queen, and Northern Chu has completely given up Chu Zhengqian by doing so." Even if he has the opportunity to return to Northern Chu in the future, I am afraid that there will be no place for him there. ”

As he spoke, he quietly observed Meng Xia's expression, and found that he couldn't fully see what the girl was thinking at the moment.

"So in other words, the identity of Chu Zhengqian's proton doesn't really have much effect now?"

Meng Xia asked as he pulled the Third Emperor Brother in the direction of Mu Qing Palace, and did not stay where he was any longer delayed.

The decision made by the Emperor of Northern Chu will definitely have a great impact on the original armistice agreement between the two countries, after all, after Northern Chu has a crown prince, Chu Zhengqian, which is equivalent to an abandoned proton, has significantly weakened the restraining force between the two countries.

Maybe one day, Northern Chu will start a war again, because they have long since ignored Chu Zhengqian's safety.

"That's not all, most of the hostages sent between countries have always been some unappreciated imperial heirs, but they can still play some role, the key is how you use them."

Meng Lang followed Meng Xia's train of thought and patiently discussed this issue with him.

As for why Chu Zhengqian was with Ah Xia before, and what the two said, Ah Xia didn't mention it, and Meng Lang didn't ask.

It wasn't until he arrived at Mu Qing Palace that Meng Xia stopped and said to Meng Lang thoughtfully: "Third Emperor Brother, Meng Jin said before that the prince had just played chess with Chu Zhengqian. ”

"What does that mean?" Meng Lang also stopped, and suddenly heard such an unrelated sentence, completely incomprehensible: "You just met Meng Jin?" ”

Meng Xia nodded: "That's right, I happened to meet Meng Jin and Chu Zhengqian halfway back, and the two of them came out of the East Palace together." At that time, I saw that Meng Jin's attitude towards Chu Zhengqian was very courteous, but Chu Zhengqian was a little unreasonable. ”

"I see."

Hearing this, Meng Lang couldn't help laughing, and reached out to pull a wisp of green silk hanging on Meng Xia's left side: "Then what do you mean?" ”

Questioned again by the Third Emperor Brother, Meng Xia finally realized that what he said was too out-of-the-box, and smiled embarrassedly for a while.

"Third brother, I think it's strange. The crown prince must have known about Northern Chu, but his attitude towards Chu Zhengqian has not been affected, and it is even better than before. According to the prince's temperament, doesn't the third brother think it's strange? ”

This time, she made her doubts clear.

In fact, not only the crown prince, but also Meng Jin, although Meng Jin was grounded a few days ago, he had never seen him so attentive to Chu Zhengqian before that.

Since she transferred Xiao Qiuzi to the front of the errand, she still knows some things in this palace.

She just couldn't understand why Chu Zhengqian, who had now been abandoned by Northern Chu, was valued by the prince and Meng Jin?

There must be some special reason for this, otherwise it would never be so!

Such a question immediately attracted Meng Lang's attention, and if it weren't for Ah Xia's reminder, he would have almost ignored it.

After thinking about it, Meng Lang said: "I will let people secretly investigate this matter." Let's go, let's go in first, otherwise the concubine will be in a hurry to eat together. ”

Seeing this, Meng Xia naturally didn't say anything more, nodded and walked back inside.

The matter of the autumn hunt spread in the palace at a very fast speed, and this year was in a hurry compared to last year, so as soon as Emperor Meng Zhao's words came out, the people who were working under him began to make various preparations related to it non-stop.

The list of chaperones was officially announced three days later.

In the palace, the crown prince sat in the formation on behalf of Emperor Meng Zhao to stay in Beijing and deal with daily affairs with the courtiers.

Queen Jiang also stayed, one was that there were many things in the harem, and the other was because the crown prince was the first time to supervise the country, and Jiang was not very relieved, so he took the initiative to make a request.

There are not many palace concubines accompanying them, but Ning Guifei and Liu Guifei are still in the list.

The prince went the most, except for those who were too young, most of them were brought, and Chu Zhengqian was in the ranks.

As for the princess, Meng Xia, Meng Jin and others are also indispensable.

The number of other princes and ministers and their families and children was also quite large, and because there were too many people, they went in batches. Only a small number of people had the opportunity to accompany Emperor Meng Zhao, and most of them arranged to arrive at the palace enclosure a few days in advance to prepare for the drive.

Many of the palace people who served with him were all energetically preparing, after all, it was naturally a good thing for them to have the opportunity to walk outside the palace and open their eyes.

In the blink of an eye, it will be the day of travel in a few days, and Meng Xia is finally in the backyard of Heling Palace, waiting for Chu Zhengqian's arrival. (To be continued.) )
