Chapter 22: The Empress

At the same time.

The young inner prison with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, holding a young white bird chirping in his arms, hid in a place where everyone could not see, neither standing nor sitting.

Shen Cheng's eyes were sharp, and as soon as he exited the main hall, he caught a glimpse of his own apprentice with a bitter face in the corner.

Especially after seeing the familiar little bird, Shen Cheng's eyebrows raised.

"All the sons! What are you in a daze? He stepped forward and patted his chubby palm on the back of the little prisoner's head.

Shen Quan's body shook, and when he heard the voice of his master, he was slightly relieved.

Pointing to the clump of white fluff in his arms, Shen Quan cried with a sad face: "Master, what can you do here?" ”

"Where did it come from?"

"Rui...... His Royal Highness forced it to me," Shen Quan slouched the corners of his mouth listlessly, "and said let me take care of it." Master, what can I do? ”

Shen Cheng's eyes lit up, and he excitedly said "hey": "Silly boy!" Your fortune is coming! ”

"Huh?" Shen Quan is still ignorant.

"Ahh Shen Cheng hated that iron could not become steel, "Silly boy, don't stay here!" Hurry up! Hands and feet are sharp! ”

"Division...... Master, why did you tell me to hurry up? ”

Shen Cheng slapped Shen Quan on the back of the head again, making Shen Quan grin, but the young bird in his hand never let go.

"Stunned boy! I've been teaching you for so many years! I don't have the price of any eyesight! Don't you see that this bird's legs are broken? Go pick it up! Find the master of the Imperial Garden, the doctor of birds and beasts, or even the worship of the Tai Hospital, no matter what tricks you use for me, and cure this bird's leg for me. Feed me with good food......"

"Oh oh......" Shin Quan hurriedly agreed.

"Oh! Don't go yet! ”

Shen Quan ran away with the bird in his arms.

Shen Cheng rubbed his hands excitedly, and said in his heart that stupid boys and stupid people have stupid blessings, no, a big fortune fell out of thin air?

Thinking that the apprentice he brought up was about to have a chance, Shen Cheng also felt that there was light on his face.

Inside the temple.

Meng Wanting listened to Jing Yan's "teaching", her heart moved, and she saw Jing Jiayue who was still kneeling on the gold brick ground, so she pleaded with Jing Yan in a soft voice: "Queen, the concubine also knows that Yue'er is wrong, little person, don't hurt your knee again, it's a lifelong illness......

Jing Yan listened to her humble tone, and looked down at her niece who was downcast, and was also distressed, so she asked, "Yue'er, do you know that you are wrong?" ”

Jing Jiayue has already been beaten by the matter of "accompanying the prince to study", she is still self-conscious, and there is a chaotic piece of chaos in her mind, where can she care about what "knows mistakes but doesn't know mistakes"?

She muttered an "um" and said no more.

Jing Yan knew that it was not a day's work to discipline such a naughty child, and he didn't want to worry about her very much, so he said gently: "You can get up." Haosheng and your mother go home, prepare to prepare, and after a month and a half, they will come to the palace to accompany Arrow to study and practice martial arts, which is also a good opportunity for you to learn. ”

Jing Yan's chin was slightly raised, and Shi Mo understood, stepped forward, and helped Jing Jiayue up.

Jing Jiayue listened to her aunt's words and thought about her "miserable" future, and her eyes were red.

She looked up at her mother's concerned gaze, and felt even more aggrieved, and her two calves hurried a few steps and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Meng Wanting looked at her pitiful little appearance, and couldn't care about anything else, stretched out her arms, hugged her into her arms, and couldn't help but caress the scars on her face, and asked her softly, "Does it hurt here" and "Does it hurt there".

This picture of licking calves deeply, Jing Yan has long been tired of seeing it. She lightly picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully, but inadvertently saw the strangeness in Yun Rui's eyes.

For as long as he can remember, Yun Rui didn't know what his "mother" was, and he never enjoyed his mother's love. On weekdays, when she sees the children next door being cared for by her mother, she always habitually brushes her face and simply doesn't look at it.

But at this moment, Meng Wanting's love for Jing Jiayue made her feel astringent and very uncomfortable, and she suddenly thought that she was a "motherless child". Although she has a free and easy temperament, she can't help but feel uncomfortable with her little heart, and she can't help but show a painful look on her face.

Jing Yan saw it in his eyes, and felt pity. She put down the teacup and beckoned to Yunrui.

"Arrow, come here!"

Yun Rui was stunned and walked towards her step by step.

There was still a distance of two or three feet away from Jing Yan, Jing Yan leaned forward, pulled her over quickly, grabbed her small palm, and let her sit beside her.

With this action, not only Yun Rui was stunned, but even Meng Wanting stopped stroking her daughter's hand.

She swept over the two people beside her in disbelief, who looked like mother and daughter, but also didn't seem to be like each other, and she was secretly surprised in her heart.

It seems that she, the queen's sister-in-law, really has feelings for this little doll?

She really didn't dare to ask which clan disciple this little doll was. That's a royal taboo, since the queen mother and the queen don't tell themselves, their lives are at stake, so it's better not to talk too much.

But—

Meng Wanting once again swept Yun Rui's handsome face.

Girls!

Meng Wanting suddenly became a spirit!

The prince is a girl!

How did she ignore this stubble?

They...... They even let a girl be the prince!

The Queen Mother's idea?

Daddy knows, right?

Will the bosses of the court agree?

What will the royal family members of the clan think?

Meng Wanting was dizzy. She was shocked to realize that she had discovered something terrible.

How could Jing Yan not notice her sister-in-law's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping?

With an indifferent smile, Jing Yan opened his mouth first: "Sister-in-law has something to say?" ”

Meng Wanting hesitated for a while before she hesitated: "Concubine...... The concubine has a saying, I don't know...... When it is not spoken, it is not allowed to be spoken. ”

Jing Yanwaner: "It's all my own family, but it's okay for my sister-in-law to talk about it." ”

Meng Wanting still hesitated: "Please forgive the queen for the concubine's recklessness." ”

Jing Yan understood in his heart and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, just talk about it." ”

Meng Wanting looked at Yun Rui, pursed her lips, and finally spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince is ...... Is it a girl? ”

When Jing Yan heard this, he didn't rush to answer, but suddenly swept over, as if he wanted to see Meng Wanting from head to toe and from top to bottom.

With just that glance, Meng Wanting felt that the hairs on her body stood up. She didn't dare to move, for fear of touching the moldy head, so she could only hold on to her body.

didn't think about it, Jing Yan didn't feel embarrassed for her, but said indifferently: "Naturally, it's a girl." ”

Meng Wanting felt that her gaze was no longer fixed on herself, and she was greatly relieved.

"But...... But ......" Meng Wanting didn't dare to continue.

Jing Yan glanced at her: "How?" ”

Meng Wanting knew how powerful she was the queen's sister-in-law, and she also faintly felt that she seemed to be in her way, so she simply turned her heart sideways and said happily.

"Didn't Emperor Wuzong say back then that only men in the Great Zhou world have to sit? Moreover, Emperor Renzong is also ......"

Emperor Renzong was also consistent.

Meng Wanting didn't continue, but waited for Jing Yan's answer.

Jing Yan seemed to have expected that she was about to say this, and smiled meaninglessly: "That sister-in-law thinks that Emperor Wuzong or Emperor Renzong, compared to Emperor Gaozu, who is respected?" ”

"Naturally, it's Emperor Gaozu......"

Halfway through Meng Wanting's words, she already understood the deep meaning of Jing Yan-

Emperor Gaozu is a woman, so what is Emperor Wuzong's "legacy" or Emperor Renzong's "consistency"?

How did Emperor Gaozu become an emperor, what kind of friendship did Ziyang Zhenren's mother have with Gaozu, and how did Emperor Wuzong make Gaozu inherit the throne with himself...... This kind of thing is the secret of the Yuwen family of the Great Zhou royal family. Even though the folk are spreading and there are many versions, but what the truth is, I am afraid that only the people in this forbidden palace know.

Meng Wanting didn't dare to continue, she was afraid that she really knew something royal and would cause death.

Jing Yan saw that she was silent, and suddenly said, "I heard that my brother took a new concubine the day before yesterday. ”

Meng Wanting was stunned.

Jing Heng's concubine was really the most painful thing for her. However, she was helpless.

Even though the husband and wife have been in love for nearly ten years, she gave birth to the eldest granddaughter of the Jing family, but after all, she is a granddaughter, not a grandson. The Jing family, especially the little grandfather Jing Heng, needs a boy to inherit the title. Her stomach is not angry, even if Jing Heng loves her again, he has to take a concubine, and he wants to give birth to a son to inherit the incense.

"Yes." Meng Wanting replied abruptly.

Jing Yan sighed secretly and said solemnly: "Sister-in-law, don't you want Yue'er to become a talent?" ”

"Yue'er is a talent?" Meng Wanting was puzzled.

"For example......" Jing Yan said slowly, "let Yue'er inherit the title of Duke of England." ”

Rao is Meng Wanting is bold, and she would never have imagined that she would say such a thing.

Let Yue'er inherit the title of Duke of England -

Meng Wanting took a deep breath before suppressing her beating heart.

It's too bold and too ...... It's tempting.

Her Yue'er, except for her daughter, is worse than the children of which family? Why can't you inherit a knighthood? Is it just because she is a daughter, no matter how good a character is, she has to lie under others?

Meng Wanting's heart was stirring, and all kinds of arrogance in her youth seemed to be resurrected at that moment.

"Sister-in-law thinks that the empress has a female minister to assist, this is a good idea?" Jing Yan continued to lure.

Meng Wanting's eyes shone brightly: "The female minister ......"

Jing Yan nodded, and said, "Sister-in-law's brother is Meng Zhaohui, the envoy of Yongzhou Jiedu?" When I was at home, I heard my sister-in-law say that you and Master Meng have a deep relationship with your sister and brother......"

How smart is Meng Wanting? How can you not hear the meaning of "inviting each other to conspire together" in Jing Yan's words?

"Exactly! After the death of her parents, Hui'er listened to me alone......"

The two stunning women, both in each other's eyes at this time, saw a tacit understanding.
