Chapter 46: The Storm is Coming
Meng Shaoguang twisted his face and looked at the six princes with a deep expression, "Even if I want the six princes to curry favor with the emperor for the sake of the sacred heart, the six princes must not be willing." ”
Meng Shaoguang has always had a guess about the six princes, but it is just a guess. She didn't want to confirm anything, after all, it was an internal matter of the royal family, and it had nothing to do with her.
The sixth prince's face changed slightly when he heard this, and there was a little fierceness in his eyes, he stared at Meng Shaoguang for a long time, and saw that Meng Shaoguang looked at him without changing his face, as if he felt that his reaction was a little excessive, so he turned his face away and lowered his eyebrows.
Meng Shaoguang saw that the six princes were like this, so he turned his eyes back to the lake, and comforted him: "The six princes don't have to worry, I don't know anything, but I heard that you are the emperor's favorite prince, and even the prince's favor on the bright side is not as good as His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is not a person who can say sweet words to make the emperor happy, so he analyzed it harmlessly, and did not investigate His Highness, Your Highness rest assured." ”
She really didn't deliberately investigate this matter, she just needed to know that the sixth prince was the person she wanted to assist, and it was enough to be worthy of entrusting the world. Curiosity about the inner courtyard of the deep palace is tantamount to asking for troubles, Meng Shaoguang is already troubled enough, how can he seek it himself.
The six princes slowed down for a while, but the sky was dripping in this gap, but it was raining, not big or small, but their clothes were wet.
"It's raining." Meng Shaoguang didn't want to hide at all, and stretched out his hand to let the rain lap on the palm of his hand, splashing one after another.
"Major General, rest, I'll go first." After the sixth prince finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Meng Shaoguang to react.
Meng Shaoguang watched the figure of the six princes disappear into the rain, clenched his palms slightly, and then turned around and went back indoors.
The palace is such a dirty place.
When the sixth prince returned to the mansion, he was drenched, and he rushed back to the room with an expressionless face, and waved everyone back, his cold hands clenched into fists, and his whole body seemed to tremble.
Meng Shaoguang's words reminded him of the things he didn't want to think about, how many years have he not been so out of control, why is he so impulsive today because of Meng Shaoguang's words, and the past events hidden in his mind are screened one by one, reminding him that he can't forget.
The death of his mother, his brother, his two uncles and cousin, this blood debt, how could he forget!
The rain did not stop for half a month, sometimes dripping, sometimes pouring down; And the battle between the crown prince and the four princes seems to have reached a white-hot stage. Meng Shaoguang has never been out of the Seven Star Pavilion, and if there is any news, he will come in to report to her.
Meng Shaoguang sat on the soft couch indoors and read a book, bursts of green smoke drifted from the incense burner on the table next to him, and the rain curtain outside fell from the sky, this tranquility has a unique taste.
and came with a light blue slim long skirt and a cyan oil-paper umbrella. Her embroidered shoes were stained by stepping on the dirt, so she stood outside the porch with an umbrella and saluted Meng Shaoguang in the house.
"Miss, the fourth prince has entered the palace." Since Meng Boyan went to Hebei and Huai began to take over this aspect of affairs, without Meng Shaoguang's advice, without a rehearsal in advance, after the shock and confusion of the first few days, and Huai was able to handle such things in an orderly manner. Although this keeps her busy until midnight, and she can only sleep two hours a day, she is still happy.
The room was quiet, and although Huai could see Meng Shaoguang sitting on the soft couch, the book in Meng Shaoguang's hand covered her face, and she didn't know if she was asleep, so she didn't respond at all.
And Huai was not in a hurry, just waited quietly outside the porch, the rain splashed her dress, but she didn't even blink.
After a long time, Meng Shaoguang turned the page of the book and spoke: "Next time I come to the Changchun Corridor, go down and rest." ”
The Changchun Corridor, which runs through the Seven Star Pavilion and the corridor of the Anwang Mansion, is a place where people are not allowed to set foot except for the owner and the concessionaire.
And Huai listened to the words for a moment, and after finally digesting Meng Shaoguang's words, her eyes were foggy, she took a deep breath to suppress the emotions in her heart, and saluted respectfully.
"Thank you, master."
After leaving with Huai, Meng Shaoguang put down the book in his hand and rubbed his forehead tiredly. He poured a cup of tea and held it in his hand, got up and walked a few steps back and forth in the room. Finally, he stepped to the window and looked at the drizzle in the sky and said coolly: "Those who are anxious in this confrontation are destined to lose, and the clouds and rain in the capital, who dares to say that they will win." ”
"What does Your Highness think?"
The sixth prince did not agree to Meng Shaoguang's words, but stood not far from Meng Shaoguang and looked at her and said, "The fourth prince went to the Ruan family's old case. As you said, the crown prince attaches great importance to this case, and the four princes did not track down a single matter and made a hindrance, and the four princes have not taken much advantage these days. Even if a few people have blurted out to testify for the four princes, it is only a one-sided statement, and it is not painful for the prince. ”
The six princes are not unpopular, and the four princes can win this game, he wants to know what chips Meng Shaoguang gave the four princes to win.
"What is the result, Your Highness will see."
Meng Shaoguang didn't want to say more, she knew that the six princes were curious, so she wanted to know how calm the six princes were.
"Your Highness, you might as well sit down and wait for the result with me."
The emperor in the Qinhua Hall frowned and looked at the song, and the rainy days in the past few days made his mood also boring, and it was not pleasing to anyone with him.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince asks to see you."
The emperor didn't even lift his eyelids, and continued to stare at the song. The little eunuch who came to Tongyu had to keep bending down and saluting, not even daring to move.
Chen Ke glanced at the little eunuch, and saw that he was trembling as if he was about to faint, so he took a cup of tea and handed it to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, after watching the twists and turns for so long, let's have a cup of tea and rest for a while."
The emperor leaned on the chair behind him, and the whole person breathed a sigh of relief, took the tea handed over by Chen Ke, and raised his head to take a sip.
Chen Ke hurriedly took the teacup and put it on the tray, bowed his head respectfully and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the weather has been cold and humid recently, and the servant specially instructed the imperial dining room to boil you a medicinal meal to remove the wet and cold, isn't this still warm on the stove." ”
The emperor snorted twice and motioned for Chen Ke to serve it, "Serve a bowl to the four princes, the stinky boy doesn't let me worry about it every day, look at the trouble with the prince in the past few days, and have the face to see me!" ”
Chen Ke waved his hand for the kneeling little eunuch to go down and invite the four princes in, while he beckoned the eunuch with the stove and the tray of medicinal food to approach, and filled a bowl for the emperor and the four princes.
Chen Ke handed the medicinal food to the emperor and did not answer, the emperor could say these words, he could listen, but he couldn't discuss them.
