Chapter 6: The Queen's Scheme
Meng Shao made a lot of money with just one action, and the emperor who got the news dropped a room of things again.
The chief manager Chen Ke saw that his liver hurt, this was changed only a few days ago, and it is not a problem to pay 500,000 taels when he is full, if it is given to King An's Mansion, he can add some clothes to the Nan'an Army. Of course, just thinking about it, he didn't dare to touch the emperor's brow.
The little eunuch outside the gate of the hall trotted in, whispered something in Chen Ke's ear, and obediently stepped aside. Now everyone who is on an errand beside the emperor has to be in a twelve-point spirit, for fear that one of them will be accidentally dropped by cannon fodder.
"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you." At this time, Chen Ke, the oldest person, has to speak, and others are no different from looking for death.
The emperor eased up, his face was still very bad, and he snorted coldly and flicked his sleeves and walked out, and Chen Ke followed cautiously.
"The concubines see the emperor." The queen in a phoenix robe leaned over and saluted, but when she saw the emperor, she didn't look at her and passed by her. Instantly wiped away the displeasure in his eyes and followed, without saying a word.
From Anlong Hall to Qinhua Palace, the emperor stopped. went in and sat down, stretched out his hand to take the tea handed by Chen Ke and took a sip, and then his eyes fell on the queen who was following closely.
"Does the queen have something important?" The subconscious meaning is to say that if there is no big deal, just step down, and don't bother me if I'm in a bad mood.
The queen with a thin sweat on her forehead gasped lightly, leaned over slightly and saluted again, looked up at the gentle and graceful smile of the emperor, and then spoke: "Zhi'er will perform the weak crown ceremony in a few days, and the concubine remembered that His Majesty said that he would give Zhi'er words, and she was afraid that Your Majesty would forget it, so she came to see Your Majesty on her own initiative, not wanting to disturb Your Majesty's purity, and hoping that Your Majesty will forgive her sins." ”
Li Zhi, the prince of Luguo, is now serving in the Chengjia Guard, which is quite valued by the emperor.
The emperor groaned, and the expression on his face softened a lot, "Li Zhi? I remember that I was only sixteen when I met him, and now four years have passed. He waved his hand and motioned for the queen to sit down, and then he thought about it.
Cheng Jia Wei is the emperor's personal guard, specializing in the emperor's safety, and some things that are not too big to use force are also done by Cheng Jia Wei, and the strictness of its selection can be seen, Li Zhi can enter, and he can be regarded as having some ability.
After thanking the queen, she sat down, and the smile on her face became more and more sincere, "Zhi'er is favored by His Majesty to protect His Majesty's safety, which is the blessing of the Luguo Mansion; Now Chi'er is sixteen years old, and when his marriage is settled, the concubines will not worry. ”
Li Chi is the second son of Lu Guogong, who is just sixteen years old this year, and his health has never been very good.
"It's hard to be the queen, Lu Guogong can't do this alone, you naturally have to work harder as an aunt." The emperor responded casually, and after speaking, he suddenly paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and his heart suddenly brightened.
"Married? It's time to get married, why didn't I think of it. ”
Seeing this, the queen lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "What Your Majesty said is true." ”
The emperor's face was excited, and he just wanted to say something and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he stabilized his mind before he spoke, "I give you a word, and leave the remaining word for the Duke of Lu Guogong to pick it up, is it good for the queen?" Thinking of a good way, the emperor was naturally in a better mood, and he was very pleasant to talk to the queen.
"The concubine thanked Your Majesty Longen for the Duke of Luguo." The queen stood up and saluted, and the emperor's move gave Lu Guogong enough face. "Then the concubine will not disturb Your Majesty, and the concubine will retire."
After the queen retreated, the emperor said: "If I remember correctly, shake the light this year is fifteen." ”
Chen Ke's heart sank, and he said respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the birthday of the county lord of Anping is in July, and now it is only the beginning of March, and I have to wait for another four months." ”
The emperor frowned and groaned, and instructed Chen Kedao: "Marriage is not a child's play, naturally you must prepare in advance." I will draw up a list with the young master in the capital who has not yet married a wife, and I will personally choose a son-in-law for Shaoguang! ”
"Yes."
"Don't make a noise about this yet."
"The old slave obeys."
The queen sat in Chaofeng Palace with a gloomy face, and the Zhishu who was waiting on the side waved away the palace maid and eunuch, took a cup of tea and handed it over, walked behind the queen and pinched her shoulders lightly, and said cautiously: "Niangniang, the emperor's act of giving words to Niangniang in the Luguo Mansion is a great honor, and the virtuous concubine will definitely be angry after knowing it, why is Niangniang still unhappy?" "Besides, we should not rejoice that our purpose has been accomplished today?
Originally, the usual style of Yi'an Wangfu would never participate in the succession, but the emperor was too pressing, so it may not be necessary now. But what is certain is that even if An Wangfu participated in the battle for the heir, he would definitely not stand on the side of the prince. Since you can't take it for your own use, you must not give it to the four princes in vain! The queen designed to help the emperor divide the forces of Anwangfu, after all, there is no son in Anwangfu, and in the future, the Nan'an army will be Meng Shaoguang's, Meng Shaoguang is married, this soldier, isn't it easy to capture.
"Humph!" The queen sneered, and her originally virtuous face was full of mockery, "If it weren't for the belly of the palace, if it weren't for this eldest son, would the emperor take a more look at the palace?" ”
After all these years of getting along, the queen has no doubt that if this eldest son is pregnant in the belly of the virtuous concubine, how can it be her turn to be the queen! To put it bluntly, the emperor only cares about his eldest son, and he is not even perfunctory to others. Fortunately, the eldest son is her son. But even so, every time she thinks of this, the queen can't help but resent, if it weren't for the prince being her own child, if it weren't for the fact that she and the Luguo Mansion still had to rely on the prince, she really wanted to kill the prince and see with her own eyes what the emperor would become without his eldest son!
If outsiders knew the queen's thoughts, they would definitely think that the queen was crazy, but even if she was crazy, she was driven crazy by the emperor! She, the queen, seems to be infinitely beautiful, but without the crown prince, she is nothing, and the emperor has no friendship for her, which is ruthless and outrageous. The husband she treats sincerely, can only fit an eldest son. Maybe the emperor is the one who went crazy, completely crazy in the favor of the former emperor for King An!
Meng Shaoguang naturally didn't know that her marriage was remembered, and she was going to the main hall at this time to see an uninvited guest.
"The fifth son?" Seeing the white-clothed man sitting like a pine in the main hall, Meng Shaoguang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
When he heard that a thief who came in over the wall claimed to be the fifth son, Meng Shaoguang thought it was a mistake, and repeatedly confirmed that the person who came did claim to be the fifth son, Meng Shaoguang couldn't help muttering in his heart, how could he be so ...... I don't know how important it is. But if it is false, then what is the purpose of the comer? Assassinate her? Someone who can send such a stupid killer is also brain-dead......
At first glance, I knew that this person was not a killer, but it was indeed not like an ordinary person could raise him, but what was the matter when he saw that his eyes were shining?
This boy in white is the fifth Jue. In the past, he wanted to join the Nan'an Army, but he didn't know how many times he ran away, but he was arrested by his eldest brother. Now that the people from King An's Mansion have returned to Beijing, and he is still the young general he admires the most, how could he give up this opportunity! God knows how many times he circled around the wall of King An's Mansion, and just as he went in brightly, he was probably carried home by his eldest brother the next day. It's not good to climb over the wall, but it's better than being carried home.
"Major General!" The fifth Jue stood straight, clasped his hands into fists and saluted respectfully. There is no discomfort at all that Meng Shaoguang feels younger than him and is a woman.
Meng Shaoguang: "......"
Meng Shaoguang turned his face to look at Meng Boyan behind him, with a puzzled expression. Is this really the Fifth Young Master? How does it look a little silly?
