Chapter Eighty-Seven: Tenderness
For a foodie, this is simply unbearable. But the hole I dug myself, crying to fill it up!
Stabilizing Concubine Rong, Zhuang Minhua talked about how to arrange the four concubines given by the Queen Mother.
Concubine Rong, who had just stood in the alliance position with her daughter-in-law, did not hesitate, "According to what Han'er said, just find a yard to settle in." Everyone has taken it, can she still manage her grandson's affairs? Then he muttered, "I'm so old, and I don't stop." "I think that the queen mother also gave a few concubines to the prince, although the prince didn't touch them, but looked at the diaphragm. Later, when the prince died, she sent those people out. Thinking of this, Concubine Rong couldn't help but feel that she and her daughter-in-law were suffering from the same illness.
Zhuang Minhua and Mama Shang glanced at each other, but they didn't hear it.
When it came to lunch, I really accompanied Concubine Rong to have a vegetarian meal. Fortunately, the chef in the kitchen of the county king's mansion has good skills, so Zhuang Minhua did not continue to complain.
After eating, Concubine Rong looked tired, and Zhuang Minhua also returned to Hanzhang Courtyard.
When she returned to the room, Zhuang Minhua felt tired from her body that had been washed like this.
After bathing and changing clothes, Zhuang Minhua was in a daze on the kang. What happened in the morning made her realize that time was running out.
The system told her that after scanning, it was found that the emperor's body was dead, and that he would not live for a year at most.
So Emperor Zhaoyuan couldn't wait to send Meng Jinghan on the expedition, did he still want to kill him on the battlefield? This time is definitely different from the past, this is Emperor Zhaoyuan's last chance, he will definitely not let Meng Jinghan live.
Zhuang Minhua unconsciously buttoned her nails, she was thinking about how to save Meng Jinghan's life.
Thinking about it. Zhuang Minhua suddenly realized that she had been too passive, and she was consciously waiting for Emperor Zhaoyuan to make a move, but she didn't think about taking the initiative to make a move. Can she kill the emperor first, so that the emperor can still come to harm Meng Jinghan?
"No way!" The system did not hesitate to stop her from thinking about this, "You can't hurt the person in this world, even if that person's luck has begun to decline, he is not something you can move." You can't even instigate others to harm him, as long as you dare to get a little dirty, you can't afford the punishment of the interface. ”
Zhuang Minhua suddenly withered, then she could only work hard to protect Meng Jinghan.
Just as she pondered what to do. Mama Zhang came in. Zhuang Minhua let her sit. Looking at Mama Zhang's expression, she sat up straight, "Mama, is there something wrong?" "I've been thinking about things for so long, and I forgot to let Mama Zhang pay attention to the things in the palace. Isn't there any news from Mama Zhang. Came over to tell her?
Mama Zhang was sitting precariously. The face is full of seriousness. "There are two things I have to say!"
Zhuang Minhua was curious, "Huh? ”
Mama Zhang said: "One thing is that the rules of the maids are too loose. needs to be re-trained, if this matter is handed over to the old slave by the princess of the county, they can be retrained in less than a month; Another is that there is something about the princess of Jin'er County, and the old slave thinks it is inappropriate. It is a matter of course for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but today the old slave saw that the princess of the county did not allow the princess of the county to kiss other women, and even arranged the concubines rewarded by the queen mother far away, and did not allow them to come out and walk around. This is jealousy, you can't help it, if the princess of the county spreads such behavior, everyone will drown you with spittle, not to mention that the queen mother will not allow it......"
Zhuang Minhua was stunned, why did this Mama suddenly turn her face and become Mama Rong? However, Zhuang Minhua didn't have the heart to accommodate Mama Zhang, so he fooled her and sent her away. called Qianhong in and asked her to arrange for someone to secretly monitor Mama Zhang's behavior. It's a pity that Mama Zhang didn't have a deed of sale, so she couldn't post a loyalty charm, so she could only send someone to monitor her. I thought it was a help, but I didn't expect to become a "wife".
Meng Jinghan didn't come back with a strong sense of wine until the end of the day, and Zhuang Minhua stepped forward to support him and help him take off his coat.
Meng Jinghan's eyes were moist, he looked at Zhuang Minhua, and he didn't speak. Let him stretch out his hand, let him sit on his bed, let him open his mouth and drink honey, and he obediently drank it.
Such an obedient Meng Jinghan made Zhuang Minhua's heart warm, and while the maid was not paying attention, Zhuang Minhua secretly kissed the corner of his mouth.
Just as Zhuang Minhua was about to wipe Meng Jinghan's face, he was pulled over and carried into the bath, without even taking off his clothes, and both of them slipped into the hot spring pool.
Meng Jinghan stood in the hot spring pool, the water reached his waist, he lowered his head and choked Zhuang Minhua's red lips, bit and sucked slowly, and then pushed her teeth, wrapped her fragrant tongue, and intertwined her lips and tongue. Zhuang Minhua only felt that the taste of wine in his mouth had reached his mouth, and the alcohol had also burned her blood, making her drunk. The two of them breathed rapidly, and Zhuang Minhua reached into his robe in a daze, stroking his narrow waist and abdominal muscles.
Meng Jinghan's hand was also on fire on Zhuang Minhua's body, and his body temperature kept rising, and finally he couldn't help but rip off the clothes of the two, lifted Zhuang Minhua's jade leg, rubbed it a few times at the mouth of the valley, and crashed into it with the hot spring water.
Zhuang Minhua's body was so soft that he couldn't stand up, and he climbed on Meng Jinghan's body, trembling with his movements, and moaning coquettishly.
For a while, the water in the hot spring pool splashed, and the coquettish sound was endless.
After a long time, Meng Jinghan returned to the bed with Zhuang Minhua, who was soft-footed and soft-handed, and sat on the edge of the bed to wet her hair.
Zhuang Minhua said angrily: "Aren't you drunk? It turned out to be pretended. ”
Meng Jinghan wiped her hair and said, "I was a little drunk at first, but now I'm awake."
Zhuang Minhua let him wipe it very comfortably and half-squinted his peach blossom eyes, "Where have you been today?" Drink like this? ”
"I'm okay, the eldest prince and the fourth prince were carried back."
Zhuang Minhua was surprised, "They drink so badly? ”
A hint of coldness flashed in Meng Jinghan's eyes, "It's cheap, who told them to keep an eye on you today." ”
Zhuang Minhua's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand to hook Meng Jinghan's neck and lowered his head, "Are you jealous?" Saying that, Zhuang Minhua kissed Meng Jinghan on the lips.
Meng Jinghan's eyes were deep, he deceived her, kissed her on the face, and was about to cover her.
Frightened, Zhuang Minhua hurriedly begged for mercy, "No, it still hurts!" ”
Meng Jinghan chuckled lightly and kissed him deeply. only to let go of Zhuang Minhua, who was soft into a ball of water. Pulled the brocade quilt and covered her, "You go to sleep first, I still have something to do when I go to the study." ”
Zhuang Minhua grabbed him, "I told my mother what the emperor said, and my mother was very angry when she heard it, and she almost wanted to go to the palace to find the queen mother." I...... I shouldn't have told my mother. ”
Meng Jinghan kissed her hair gently, "It's okay, you have to know sooner or later." Know early, prepare early. ”
Meng Jinghan reluctantly went to the study, and Mei Yan and several staff members were waiting for him in the study.
Meng Jinghan first told his staff that he was going to go on another expedition at the beginning of next year, and ordered them to go down and write a plan to prepare. Send it away.
Only then did he turn to Mei Yan. "Why is this time coming?"
Mei Yan is waiting impatiently, and his life has not been easy these days, and it is not true that he likes Zhuang Minhua much, but he always feels uncomfortable and goes. At this time. He won't bring it up.
"I got the news. Uncle Emperor is going to send you to the battlefield early next year? ”
"Hmm!" Meng Jinghan began to read the letters on the table. "Isn't that normal?"
"How is this normal! Don't think that I don't know that the emperor's uncle is afraid that you will be a master of high merit, so he will recall you back to the capital and seize your military power. Why are you willing to give you back the military power now? Mei Yan stood up anxiously and paced in the study.
Meng Jinghan paused when he heard this, "Have you heard about the change of guard at each border?" ”
"It's a bit of a rumor, not many people know about this, how do you know? I also overheard my mother talking to my father. Mei Yan contacted Meng Jinghan about going on the expedition again, and his face suddenly changed, and the emperor's uncle said that he was asking soldiers from other borders to go to the Beiban border to exercise. The two worlds of the Western Tang Dynasty and the Southern Liang have been fighting petty for many years, and the quality of the soldiers is not at all the same compared to the danger of the Northern Barbarians. Is it really okay to let my cousin lead such a team? He had an answer in his heart, but he subconsciously ignored it.
"No, if the emperor's uncle wants to change, he can only exchange and hone a little bit, and replace them all like this, I'm afraid that the Beiban will get the news, and he won't wait until the beginning of next year......" Mei Yan suddenly stopped, "No, every winter is when the Beiban attacks and plunders supplies, how can it wait until the beginning of next year?" ”
"Then the emperor's uncle changed his guard in such a hurry in the second half of this year, wouldn't he send food to the Beiban? I can't hold it at all. Wouldn't the Northern Barbarians be able to break through the power and take away my Great Qi City? What about the people of those cities? A little more dangerous, what should they do if they drive straight in, and the iron hooves step into my hinterland? No, what did the emperor's uncle think? No, I'll have to ask the emperor's uncle. Mei Yan was already incoherent in the end, and she was in a hurry to go out.
Meng Jinghan said lightly: "The palace gate has been locked, can you enter now?"
Mei Yan paused, turned around and looked at Meng Jinghan in surprise, "Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”
Meng Jinghan paced to the window, looking at the dark night sky, "What you said, will the emperor not know about all this?" "If you don't change his henchmen, how can you let him have an accident! The emperor is really well-intentioned. In order to make his death justifiable, the emperor used so many people to bury him, which was really bloody.
"Yes! Will the emperor's uncle not know? Mei Yan repeated slowly, and suddenly Mei Yan's eyes lit up, "Uncle Emperor knows, so there must be prevention." It turned out that I was thinking too much. Mei Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Jinghan didn't speak, and he wasn't a person who blindly waited for death. It's just that when such a day is a head, he always feels that there is a fire suppressed in his heart, and the more it burns, the more prosperous it becomes, and one day it will burn the prairie fire.
The two of them were speechless for a while, Mei Yan felt that she was short of words for the first time, but Meng Jinghan spoke, "It's not early, you go back and rest!" Mei Yan walked out of the study in a daze and returned to her yard.
Meng Jinghan sent Mei Yan away and also returned to Hanzhang Courtyard. Looking at Zhuang Minhua, who was sleeping on the bed with a small face, he was slightly distracted, and his fingers involuntarily slid back and forth on her cheeks.
The delicate and tender touch on the bottom of his hand made his heart flutter. His eyes are getting deeper and deeper in the dark, in addition to his mother, he has one more concern, how can he be willing to die!
His fingers slid down to Zhuang Minhua's abdomen, where he might have to give birth to his baby in the future. How could he be willing to give up his life for a prophecy.
Zhuang Minhua opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Meng Jinghan's eyes as cold as a knife, as if she could cut her right away, which frightened her immediately. Looking at it again, Meng Jinghan's eyes were soft under the orange light, it turned out that she had just seen it wrong.
Zhuang Minhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, smiled sweetly at Meng Jinghan, and was about to pull his hand to let him go to bed. It was cold to the touch, Zhuang Minhua shivered, and held his hand tightly.
Meng Jinghan struggled for a while, but didn't break away, so he had to use his internal force to turn back and forth in his body, and his body gradually warmed up.
He untied his coat, lay down under the covers, and hugged Zhuang Minhua from behind. He put his head up to her neck and took a deep sniff of her fragrance. "Our family will be fine."
Zhuang Minhua sighed in his heart, what happened to make Meng Jinghan, who has always been calm and self-controlled, say such a thing? She pondered for a moment, so she was still a ghost on the expedition?
She turned over in Meng Jinghan's arms, faced Meng Jinghan, reached out to hug his thin waist, put her face against his chest, listened to his rapid heartbeat, and slowly spoke. "Yes, we will all be good and live together for a long time."
After hugging for a while, Zhuang Minhua reiterated again: "Taijing, you have to remember that no matter where you are or what you are doing, even if you are bathing and sleeping, you must take the jade pendant I gave you." It's important. She was afraid that she would not be able to persuade like this, and if she was ruthless, she would get up and test it for him.
Meng Jinghan hugged her thin waist, "What's wrong?" Don't worry, the jade pendant that Min Min specially sent, how could I not pay attention to it. You see, now this jade pendant is hung around my neck with a rope, and it will not fall off whether I am bathing or sleeping. As he spoke, he unbuttoned his collar and showed it to Zhuang Minhua.
Sure enough, a warm jade pendant was revealed on her neck, which was the one she gave her, Zhuang Minhua was really relieved now.
"It's late at night, go to sleep! Ming'er still has to go back to the door, if you bring a black circle back, won't it make Zhuang Shoufu misunderstand that I am bullying you. Meng Jinghan held her tightly in his arms and placed his chin on the top of her head.
Zhuang Minhua gently slapped him on the back and fell asleep in such warmth.
The next day, Zhuang Minhua was woken up by a kiss, Zhuang Minhua couldn't cry or laugh, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet!" ”
"It doesn't stink at all." Meng Jinghan said seriously: "If you don't believe it, kiss it again."
Zhuang Minhua hurriedly pushed him away, put on his clothes and ran away.
Zhuang Minhua was served by the maid to freshen up, Meng Jinghan watched from the side, Zhuang Minhua was strange, "You're not going to practice swords today?" ”
Isn't it strange that people who even went on the second day of their wedding are not going today?
Meng Jinghan didn't answer, picked out a thousand leaves and gold peony hairpin from the makeup box and put it in her bun, and looked at her good-looking willow eyebrows with some regret, she was born too well and didn't need to draw it at all.
Zhuang Minhua pursed his lips and smiled, reciprocated with a peach, found a white jade flower and a rich jade pendant, and tied it around his waist.
Meng Jinghan grabbed her thin waist and kissed her on the forehead. The maids are used to it, their eyes are lowered, and they are quietly doing what they need to do. (To be continued......)
