Chapter 136: Chinese New Year's Eve Banquet II

When they were busy and frightened, a eunuch came over and blessed everyone, and said, "The prince invited the little prince and Yang Gongzi to go to the main hall to talk." ”

Meng Shaoguang glanced around when he heard this, and sure enough, the crown prince and the four princes and others were gone, and even many courtiers and sons were gone.

Meng Jin was stunned for a moment, he has never been very close to the princes, what did the prince ask him to do at this time? However, Yang Zhen is a fragrant glutton, when it is time to get married, the prince and the fourth prince are struggling to win over, I heard that the marriage between Miss Yang San and the second son of the Li family was blown a few days ago, and the prince estimated the internal injuries of anger.

The eunuch seemed to see Meng Jin'an's puzzlement, so he said: "The sons of many families are here, and they are talking about the little prince and Yang Gongzi, and the prince asked the servants to invite them." ”

Meng Jin'an nodded, glanced at Yang Zhen and stuffed the eleventh prince who had finally stopped crying in his arms to Meng Shaoguang's side, touched Meng Chenjiao's head, and said, "Taotao, play with Sister Shaoguang here, Brother An will come back in a while." ”

Meng Shaoguang watched Meng Jinan and Yang Zhen go out, and looked around quietly.

This side hall is used to entertain the daughters of those sons who have not been out of the cabinet, and it is also a blind date place in disguise, no matter where the banquet is held, most of the purposes are like this. Now the number one young talent in this hall is gone, and the rest are insignificant characters.

Because it was cold outside, the doors were tightly closed, and there was a thick curtain outside, but there were a few windows open, but without exception, the windows were full of water.

The reason why Shuilu Palace is called Shuilu Palace is because it is surrounded by water, and Shuilu Palace is built on the lake. Summer is cool, but in winter, the temperature is cooler than normal because of the cold water.

Meng Shaoguang squeezed Taotao's soft little hand. Sensing his uneasiness and curiosity, he gently hugged him in his arms and put him on his lap, and said to those who lowered their eyebrows behind him: "Yuxiao Wangye's Peiyu has fallen, go and send it to him." ”

And Huai looked at the round jade pendant in Meng Shaoguang's hand, stretched out his hands to take it, blessed his body and said yes, and went out with the jade pendant.

Sensing that the child in his arms was looking at him curiously, Meng Shaoguang played with his fleshy little hand and gently hooked his lips.

"Does Taotao like Brother An?" Meng Shaoguang's voice was very soft. There was a gentle warmth in the words.

Meng Chenjiao turned his face sideways and tilted his head to look at Meng Shaoguang, who was kind to him, and blinked his eyes, and said softly: "I like it, Taotao likes Brother An the most." ”

The smile on Meng Shaoguang's face expanded. At this time, she was like a wolf grandmother who abducted children, and continued to ask in a bewitching voice: "Then why does Taotao like Brother An?" ”

Meng Chenjiao lowered his eyelashes as if he was thinking about something, the smile on his face gradually slipped, and he said with a little sadness and seriousness: "Because only Brother An will accompany Taotao to play." Will bring Taotao what he likes. will make Taotao happy when Taotao is sad, Taotao can cry in Brother An's arms, and Brother An will not laugh at Taotao. ”

Meng shook his elbow on the chair handle and dragged his chin slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth faded, "Since Taotao likes Brother An so much, what if Brother An is bullied?" ”

Taotao clenched his fists and swore solemnly: "I will protect Brother An!" ”

Meng Shaoguang stretched out his hand to hug Meng Chenjiao's chubby waist, and said with interest: "Oh? So what if it's your father who bullied Brother An? Or is it your brother to the crown prince and the brother of the fourth prince? ”

A hesitant look appeared in Meng Chenjiao's eyes, and the small hand covering his fist also opened. Tilting his head and putting his index finger into his mouth, he was embarrassed for a long time: "I must protect Brother An." But although my father and my brothers didn't like me, my mother said that no one had to like me, so I wouldn't resent them because they didn't like me. But if they bully Brother An, I will also protect Brother An, and my mother said that if others are good to me, I must also be good to others, otherwise no one will be good to me in the future. Meng Chenjiao pursed his mouth as he spoke, stared at Meng Shaoguang with big eyes and tears, and said, "But why do they want to bully Brother An, Brother An is so good." ”

Meng Shaoguang felt that he was not very good at bullying children, especially when he saw Meng Chenjiao tearing up and looking like he wanted to cry or not, the guilt in Meng Shaoguang's heart rose slowly, which she had never lived for so long. She felt that it must be because of Xiao Chuyang, and when she thought that Xiao Chuyang would grow into such a soft and glutinous appearance in the future, holding her and being coquettish, Meng Shaoguang felt that the whole person had been cured!

Meng Shaoguang touched Meng Chenjiao's head lovingly, and naturally changed the topic: "Why did Taotao come here alone?" What about the people who usually follow you? ”

When Meng Shaoguang said this, Meng Chenjiao was suddenly aggrieved again, "Taohong said that Brother An didn't go to the palace to see me when he came here, he must not like me, so I came by myself." Meng Chenjiao said that he didn't know what he thought of, shrunk his neck, looked at Meng Shaoguang with some concern, and said: "If the mother concubine knew that I ran here secretly, she would definitely be angry, and she would definitely punish me for endorsement again." ”

In Meng Shaoguang's funny gaze, Meng Chenjiao said quite confidently: "You don't know, it's so difficult to endorse!" ”

Meng Shaoguang expanded his smile very indifferently under Meng Chenjiao's serious expression of telling her that it was difficult to endorse. Suddenly, there were a few unusual sounds in his ears, and Meng Shaoguang's hand that was about to pinch Meng Chenjiao's face paused. Raising his eyes to look at the people around him who were in danger but didn't know it, Meng Shaoguang reached out and put on the hat on his cloak. The hand holding Meng Chenjiao's chubby waist also tightened, and he slowly stood up and wrapped Meng Chenjiao in his cloak.

"I ......" Meng Chenjiao pulled his cloak for some reason, wanting to expose his head, but suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and his head was dizzy. Because his head was buried in Meng Shaoguang's cloak, it was pitch black in front of him, so he had to hold Meng Shaoguang firmly with his little short arms, and his little hands grabbed her clothes. Instinctively, I wanted to get closer to Meng Shaoguang.

Meng Shaoguang looked at the beams and various tiles falling from the roof, and squinted his eyes slightly. When did the ladies who were raised in the deep boudoir and the young masters who were born with a golden soup spoon ever seen such a scene, everyone was stunned when the entire side hall began to tremble. When the roof tiles fell and smashed on the people next to them, the panic began.

Screams, cries for help. The crying and shouting were heartbreaking, and the usual upbringing of those glamorous young masters and daughters in the past was fed to the dogs at this time. The scene was extremely panicked for a while, and there was no experience of encountering such a crisis, and everyone rushed towards the door like headless flies, but there were not a few who folded halfway, and when someone finally rushed to the door. But he found that the door was sealed.

Meng Shaoguang had already moved to the corner with Meng Chenjiao in her arms, and she looked at this farce coldly, these people. They are all victims of Meng Yan's plan. For the sake of her, it was just her Meng Shaoguang's life.

Seriously, what Meng Shaoguang guessed at home before that Meng Yan was going to deal with her like this was just casual talk, after all, the price of doing so was too great! If a bad thing is revealed, so many courtiers have been subjected, how can he stop the mouths of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military?

But when Meng Shaoguang came to this side hall. But he still didn't know Meng Yan very well. Meng Yan's hatred for King An's Mansion had already accumulated to the point of intolerability, so many people, the family members of Dayuan above the third grade, were so casually buried in a plan to get rid of her.

Meng Yan, it's so ruthless.

Meng Shaoguang never felt that he was a good person, these people had nothing to do with her Meng Shaoguang, these people were all funeral gifts given to her by Meng Yan, if she didn't accept them. I'm too sorry for Meng Yan's careful arrangement.

The crown prince, the fourth prince, and the sixth prince were not there, and Meng Jin'an and Yang Zhen, as well as those who could be called the future humerus of Dasheng's young talents, were all taken away. even left an eleventh prince to block the mouths of the ministers and the An Wangfu, if this scene does not come as scheduled, I am afraid that someone will be disappointed.

The windows are open, and even though the lake is cold and biting outside, it's better than staying here and being smashed into pulp. When one person jumps, there is a second person, the temperature outside is extremely low, and a thin layer of ice has formed on the surface of the river, and if you fall for more than a dozen breaths, your body will freeze, and then fall to the bottom of the lake, in other words, the person who jumps will die faster.

It's just that the following situation has given Meng Shaoguang a new understanding of Meng Yan, Meng Yan is ruthless, and there is probably no one in this world who can match it.

Meng Shaoguang clearly heard the sound of the dragon pillar breaking below, then the ground tilted, and then the floor cracked, and a good side hall slowly sank because of the water injected into the lake, coupled with the continuous falling gravel above, a palace disappeared on the lake in an instant, and the faces of the people fluttering on the cold lake were pale and bloodless.

When everyone heard the sound, they were confused, and the jade pendant was sent to Meng Jin'an, but his face turned pale, and he turned around and stumbled towards the side hall, Yang Zhen saw that something was wrong and Huai ran out with him, Meng Jin'an reacted in that direction, and his face changed and he pulled his legs and went there.

"What's wrong?" The sixth prince suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and his face showed just the right amount of incomprehension.

With a habitual smile on his face, the prince comforted everyone: "I'm going to ask someone to check, everyone don't be impatient." So saying, he walked out.

The more the sixth prince thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he raised his feet and followed behind the prince. The four princes also went out. Although he was purely out to join in the fun. And the others, although they were curious to die, still held back their mood and waited quietly.

The thoughts in their hearts are the same, even if something happens in the palace, it can't be a big deal, after all, this is in the palace, so they don't have to worry.

The prince and others went out, and saw the little eunuch who went to the side hall to invite people with sweat on his face and hurriedly ran over, and when he saw the prince and others coming out, he immediately knelt down, and wanted to lower his head into the soil, and said tremblingly: "Prince, His Royal Highness, down, out, something's wrong!" Bias, deviation, "

The prince's face changed and he said angrily: "What are you panicking about! Make it clear! ”

The little eunuch still didn't dare to raise his head, secretly swallowed his saliva to ease his breath, and said tremblingly: "The side hall has collapsed!" ”

"What did you say?!"

The fourth prince's face is also very bad, if he remembers correctly, Meng Shaoguang should also be in the side hall, Meng Shaoguang is now his ally, whether he can become the prince or not has to count on Meng Shaoguang, but he doesn't want her to have an accident.

"How could a good side hall collapse?!"

The sixth prince stood beside the prince, and the corners of his eyes were obviously aimed at the corners of the prince's mouth that were instantly hooked and pursed, and the haze under his eyes became even stronger.

If something happens in the side hall, it will definitely have nothing to do with the prince!

How many ministers' children are in the side hall! Such a crazy thing, except for the prince who can put the Nan'an army to death regardless of Dasheng's safety, the six princes really can't think of anyone else. This time, the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was set in Shuilu Palace by the father and emperor himself, for which Shuilu Palace was repaired for more than three months, and the person in charge was undoubtedly the prince's person.

"I'm afraid such a big movement can't be hidden, so many people are inside, let's hurry up and take a look, Gu Yin, go to Xuan Taiyi, and find all the doctors in Tai Hospital!"

It can't be delayed any longer, since this matter is premeditated, then it is bound to be impossible for anyone to make a move before they arrive, even if Meng Shaoguang is not affected by the collapse of the palace, but now the lake is cold, once it falls, it will be a lifetime to fall into the root of the disease! The sixth prince didn't have to think about it at all to know that since the prince made a move, he would not leave the slightest chance for the people in the palace to escape, and Meng Shaoguang can now be said to be more than lucky!

Prince! How dare you?!

The crown prince also seemed to come back to his senses when he heard the six princes, and hurriedly beckoned people to go to the side hall, and at this time, the concubines and women in the queen's palace also came over.

"See the Queen Mother/Queen Mother." The six princes were anxious in their hearts, but they had to salute patiently.

"Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong? The queen is dressed in a phoenix robe, embroidered with a phoenix with wings spread on her back, nine phoenix tails are located on a wide back hem, each stitch is inlaid with fine pearls, and the phoenix's eyes are also embellished with rubies, which is very graceful and luxurious.

"After returning to the mother, the ministers heard a loud noise, and went to the side hall to ask the close attendants of the young ladies to come back and report that the side hall had collapsed, and the sons and daughters were about to go over to see what was going on." The prince's face was heavy and incredulous when he spoke, and his innocence was exactly the same as that of an outsider.

"What?!" The queen's face was shocked, and her groomed and noble face was flustered.

"Know, hurry, go and tell the emperor! Jing'er, let's go check it out! ”

A group of women behind the queen also heard the news, and they were all in a hurry, for fear that something would happen to her precious daughter and son. But the queen and the crown prince are in front, and they can't be crossed no matter what.

Concubine Ning suddenly had a bad premonition for some reason, and was helped by the palace maid to walk forward absentmindedly.

Concubine Ning is only twenty-six years old, quite young, and she is also very favored now, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been able to give birth to Meng Chenjiao, and now that the competition for the throne is imminent, the queen and the virtuous concubine have no time to embarrass Concubine Ning, after all, Concubine Ning's son is only three or four years old, how can the big position not fall on her head, and how can she be favored.

Concubine Xian and the four princes glanced at each other, and they all saw different meanings in their respective eyes, and then restrained their expressions and put on a anxious look, Concubine Xian was bent on joining in the fun, and the four princes were a little worried about Meng Shaoguang's ally at the same time, if he died here like this, it would be a pity.
