Chapter 156: Harem (5)

The lights in the room are bright, and the light is reflected on Zhuang Minhua's watery eyes, which is moving.

Meng Jinghan's eyes lit up little by little, like stars rising in the night, dazzling. He took Zhuang Minhua in his arms, his chin rested lightly on the top of Zhuang Minhua's hair, and he let out a sigh from his mouth, "Minmin......"

Zhuang Minhua put his face in Meng Jinghan's warm arms, smelled the cold fragrance on his body, and sighed lightly: "You want to establish an immortal cause, you want to create a prosperous era of Great Qi, and you want to become a Ming Jun who has been passed down through the ages, I can understand and support all this." But you should also be considerate of me, as a wife, who worries about the safety of her husband. Since she said the words that began her mouth just now because she was worried about Meng Jinghan, then she had to explain it clearly, so that Meng Jinghan couldn't feel that she didn't understand the general situation.

"I know." Meng Jinghan stroked Zhuang Minhua's shoulders, since he joined the army, the mother concubine has not been worried for a day. Min Min can have such a mind, how can he not know. And he hasn't told his mother yet! If the queen mother knew, she would definitely be strongly opposed. Back then, I was forced to go to the army, in order to fight for a way out. And if he hadn't gone to the army to earn his life, I'm afraid that now he would have been either raised by the first emperor or killed!

"Taijing, are you just upset because you're going to go on an expedition to the Northern Barbarians? I know you're not that kind of person, so there must be some other reason, right? Zhuang Minhua withdrew from Meng Jinghan's arms and looked up at him.

Meng Jinghan pulled her to sit down on the couch by the window, "It's just that the treasury is empty and I can't raise military expenses." ”

"How can the treasury be so empty? It turned out that he couldn't even raise military spending? It's impossible, the first emperor said at that time that he would use troops at the beginning of the year. He didn't think about it? Zhuang Minhua was very surprised.

The corners of Meng Jinghan's mouth flashed with a hint of bitterness, and he quickly smoothed it out again, he didn't expect that the Great Qi, which seemed to be the peace of the country and the people, had already been hollowed out. If it hadn't been for the accident on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it would have erupted in just a year or two. Now that Emperor Zhaoyuan is gone, he left such a mess to him.

He seems to be stable in the court these days, but in fact, there is an undercurrent in the court, and the courtiers may not be able to obey him. In the eyes of those people, he is not orthodox. There was no orthodox imperial education. It was Emperor Zhaoyuan's branch that had an accident. can only let him, the closest person of blood, succeed to the throne and pick up a big bargain. If it weren't for his past military exploits, coupled with Zhuang Shoufu's suppression of courtiers in the court, I'm afraid he would be anxious. Now he understands that it is really easy to fight the country. It is difficult to defend the country. But he's not afraid.

At this time, even if he really loves Zhuang Minhua. He also had to say that Min Min's wife was married right. Whether it is the contribution she has made to him. It's still his mother's full support for him now. "Maybe he thought about it, so he needed a battlefield to stimulate a little vitality for this dynasty that was about to decay!"

The evening breeze was slightly drunk, blowing through the doors and windows. Roll up the hair of a pair of stunning men and women nestled in the room.

Meng Jinghan's eyes turned slightly, and he saw that the peach trees outside the open window next to the couch were trembling by the evening breeze, and the pink petals were rolled up, bringing a burst of fresh fragrance. A few peach blossom petals fell on Zhuang Minhua's love silk, and the black powder thought about it, and it became more and more black and delicate.

Meng Jinghan smiled slightly, brushed off Zhuang Minhua's petals, and held her soft wattle, "Let's set the meal first!" It's still early, we can talk slowly. ”

Zhuang Minhua nodded, sat up straight, stood up, and called someone to set the meal.

Qian Hong came out of Zhuang Minhua's house and went to the small kitchen to find Biqing, and saw Biqing standing at the door of the small kitchen in a daze, her eyes gloomy. Qian Hong sighed in her heart, crossed the threshold with her skirt, and walked in front of Biqing, "What are you thinking?" ”

Biqing was startled, woke up, and saw that it was Qianhong, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not just now that my sister sent someone to say that the master wants to add two more dishes, and I have already told the small kitchen." Why did my sister come in person? Isn't it that the master has other commands? ”

Qian Hong glanced into the kitchen, which was filled with smoke and people, accompanied by various sounds and bursts of the smell of food. Because today's emperor loves spicy food, today's master also ordered more spicy peppers, which will bring bursts of chili pepper fragrance to the nose, so exciting that people can't help but want to sneeze. Thinking of this small kitchen, it was because the master disliked the taste of the dishes in the imperial dining room was too regular, and like the queen mother, it was specially set up in Kunning Palace, and for this matter, the people in the imperial dining room also went to the emperor to complain. was reprimanded by the emperor, and the imperial dining room knew that the queen was not easy to mess with, so he temporarily stopped fighting. But I think I have a pimple in my heart, otherwise how would I see them, the queen's palace maids, and how would they not smile.

Qian Hong pulled Biqing, and the two came to the ventilated place, away from the smell of oil smoke, and their nose and eyes were much more comfortable, and it was also a shame that Biqing could stand there. "The master went to the imperial garden in the afternoon and chose four peony flowers, one for each of the four of us, and I have already placed your flower in your room and raised it with water! It doesn't matter if you raise it for a day or two. Tomorrow morning, when you comb your hair, you will wear it again, it will definitely look good. ”

Biqing had already seen the green peony on the side of Qian's red bun, the flower color was as green as jade, crystal clear, and the red was very beautiful. knew that it must be rewarded by the master, but at first my heart was gloomy. Now that I heard that I still have my own share, I can't help but feel a little happy.

Qian Hong saw it, and took the opportunity to pick up some of Zhuang Minhua's words and say them. When Bi Qing first heard it, her face was still pale, but she slowly eased up after hearing it. The eyes couldn't help but shed tears, and choked up: "It's mine, it's not me, the master was annoying enough to deal with the palace affairs, but he still disturbed the master to worry about me." ”

Seeing that she seemed to have figured it out, Qianhong also breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded: "Don't cry, there are no people in this palace who cry casually, and when Aunt De heard it, she won't let you go if her master is the queen." ”

Aunt De is the aunt in charge of etiquette in Kunning Palace, and she is very strict and rigid, and she will not be lenient to those who violate the palace rules. Because of this, the master has beaten them many times, and the palace is different from the palace, so we must always remember the palace rules and be cautious in our words and deeds.

Bi Qing thought of Aunt De's strictness, and suddenly felt terrified, and quickly wiped away her tears.

"That's right." Qian Hong took her hand, "The four of us sisters have served our master for many years, and no matter what, the master will not treat us badly." Don't always stare at those gossip, it's just that you can't eat grapes, and you just say that grapes are sour. Just because we are the personal palace maids next to the queen's mother, no one in this palace looks down on us, you must not be presumptuous. Okay, you go and clean up, and the master will definitely ask us to come over and serve. (To be continued.) )
