Chapter 19 (Correction)
The subordinates of Yongyayuan knew who Miss was thinking, and everyone tacitly kept silent.
Two days after coming back, the Prime Minister went down to his house and called Meng Yuan over as soon as possible.
Meng Yuan's reaction at the time was, could it be that Zhao Chen followed?
She ran over happily, knocked on the 'door' and entered, only to see her father, who had not yet changed into his court clothes.
"Father?" Meng Yuan looked left and right for a moment, and saluted, "What do you want me to order?" ”
Prime Minister Meng Cheng pointed to the position next to him and said, "Sit." ”
Meng Yuan sat down beside his father, seeing that his expression was a little solemn, and he didn't know what was going on for a while.
"Do you know what happened to Ashang, this morning?" Prime Minister Meng Cheng went straight to the topic, and his tone of voice was unusually strict.
Meng Yuan also felt that the atmosphere was extraordinary, and the mood that was still floating immediately precipitated, and he frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Meng Cheng smiled similarly and said, "It's not that something happened......
"What the hell is going on? Dad, don't sell it. Meng Yuan said anxiously.
Prime Minister Meng Cheng twisted his beard and said: "Taiwei Xu mentioned the matter of establishing the prince again, and I looked at the emperor's meaning, as if he was going to be established." ”
“…… So fast? ”
Meng Yuan's eyes widened in surprise, Prince Li's previous life was about a year before her death, why did she advance so long?
What's going wrong?
"Now the second prince has the support of Dr. Zhou, the eldest prince has Xu Taiwei, the fourth prince's 'legs' and feet are not good, and he has no chance to be on the throne, the spleen 'sex' of the fifth prince is not suitable for being a monarch, and the first two are the ones who can compete with the third prince." Prime Minister Meng Cheng said slowly, "I am telling you this for my father, because you are going to marry the third prince next year and after the reign, and the prime minister's mansion and the three princes are tied together, and the father is also classified into the camp of the three princes." ”
Meng Yuan choked and didn't say anything, Prime Minister Meng continued: "I still have to go to the Hou Mansion to discuss this matter with your grandfather, and your second uncle, if there is no accident, the Meng family will fully support the third prince." ”
"Father, this ......"
"But we also have conditions." Prime Minister Meng Cheng leaned back in his chair and said lightly, "If he really becomes the prince and inherits the throne in the future, you must be the queen." ”
In the final analysis, his father's biggest intention was for her, Meng Yuan felt very uncomfortable, his eyes were red, Meng Cheng couldn't help but say when he saw this: "Why are you crying this girl?" Isn't that a good thing? ”
"Yes, but Dad, I really ...... you do this for me" Meng Yuan began to cry as he spoke, wiping his tears a little wolfly.
"You are your father's 'daughter', and it's normal to think about you. You don't have to be pressured, the Meng family didn't choose the third prince because of you, you were just one of the factors. Meng Cheng said, "The emperor has discussed this matter with his father a long time ago, the third prince is the emperor's favorite candidate, and he is also the most suitable person among several princes, the Meng family's choice of him is inevitable, you are only one aspect." ”
Meng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dad, actually, I don't really want the third prince to be the emperor. She remembered the reason why she would develop with Su Jichen in her previous life, and said with a bitter face, "It's better for him to be a prince, there won't be too many 'women' in the house, and no one will 'force' him to take a concubine, but if he becomes an emperor, how can I deal with the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces, six courtyards, and seven concubines?" Even if he doesn't take the initiative to enrich the harem, the civil and military officials will not watch it. ”
Not only Meng Yuan is worried about this, but even Prime Minister Meng Cheng is like this. In fact, most of the Meng family are monogamous, like today's Wu'an Hou and Meng Chengxiang. There are very few people like Meng Yuanzhou who have accepted several concubines. Meng Yuanzhou will be like this, also because the heirs of Prime Minister Meng Cheng are thin, and the entire Meng family depends on him, so it is natural to accept a few more and have a few more.
"You can rest assured." Meng Chengxiang said, "Your father and I won't die too quickly, as long as there is a father for a day, you will be happy with peace of mind, and no one can bully you." ”
The guilt in Meng Yuan's heart reached its peak at this moment, although betraying her father was a matter of her previous life, but that also happened, how much she regretted it, such a father was let down by her like that, what qualifications did she have to be a 'woman'?
"Daddy!" Meng Yuan threw herself into her father's arms and cried very pitifully, but Meng Chengxiang only thought she was too moved, relieved and distressed.
While the two were discussing this matter, there was also a Meng Rou in the Meng Mansion who was about to marry the second prince as a side room, and he was worried about this matter.
Lin Wan looked at Meng Rou who was spinning in place, took a sip of the teacup and said, "Don't walk around, I am upset." ”
Meng Rou said eagerly: "Mother, now that the emperor is going to appoint a prince, do you say that the second prince will be the prince?" ”
This is the news that Lin Guifei secretly sent into the mansion to Lin Wan after the dispersal of the dynasty today, she also expected that Prime Minister Meng Cheng would not take their mother and daughter seriously, and if she didn't mention something about the previous dynasty, Lin Wan would be concealed from the results.
Although it is very embarrassing to have a distant relative who is an aunt in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but Lin Guifei now needs such a care in the court, Lin Wan is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there are no other ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there is still a chance to straighten out, as long as she teaches more.
Lin Wan was very cautious about Lin Guifei's attention, and when she got the news, she began to raise measures.
She also knew that she no longer had any status in Xiangye, and Xiangye would suppress the matter of her and Meng Rou's conspiracy to kill Meng Yuan, also because the publicity of the family scandal would put the Xiangfu in a disadvantageous position, and the other one is, if she really said it, wouldn't it slap Lin Guifei in the face? In the future, when Meng Yuan marries Zhao Chen, he will also be a royal person, so he will inevitably enter the palace often, and Concubine Lin will definitely embarrass her.
In the end, he is the emperor's pillow person, and he is being favored, pregnant with the dragon species, as a father, Prime Minister Meng Cheng has to consider the family, reputation, and future...... Many, many, many, he had to have some scruples.
In short, the prime minister has good intentions, one is to take care of the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and on the other hand, it is for Meng Yuan, and it has nothing to do with their mother and daughter.
How ridiculous, isn't it, it's been more than ten years, even a stone should be covered with heat, he is still so indifferent and ruthless, and Lin Wan's heart is also cold.
"Second prince? He has the support of the Imperial Doctor, and it is not completely impossible to win. Lin Wan said lightly.
Meng Rou was overjoyed, and then sad: "The three princes are not ......"
"What are you anxious about, I just said that he also has a chance to win, but where are the chances compared to the third prince?" Lin Wan was a little worried, "The noble concubine Niangniang sent this news to us, she must ask us to help the second prince, and it is too difficult to be our mother's 'daughter' now." ”
"The concubine Niangniang supports the second prince?" Meng Rou asked.
Lin Wan sighed and said: "It's not counting, except for Zhao Chen, she can bear anyone who is the prince." ”
"Endure ......?" Meng Rou's expression was subtle.
"That's natural, of course she wants her own child to be the crown prince. The emperor is still in good health now, if the concubine is a little prince, then when the little prince grows up, maybe the crown prince will change hands? Lin Wan lowered her voice and said, "But if the third prince really sits on the throne of the crown prince, with the emperor's feelings for Empress Changwen, the obstacle of Empress Chen, and the talent of the third prince, it will definitely be difficult to overcome." ”
"Mother, you ......" Meng Rou said incoherently, "then what are we?" She grimaced, "Will Daddy help us?" ”
"Help us? How can it be? Lin Wan said sadly, "Rou'er, don't be stupid, your father only has Meng Yuan's girl in his heart, he has never regarded me as his wife, and now, we can only be willing to be the pawns of the concubine, and there is no other choice." ”
"I'm also his 'daughter'!" Meng Rou burst into tears, "I'm going to find my father, why did he never treat me like he did to my second sister?" I'm also his 'daughter'! She ran out of the 'door' to find Prime Minister Meng Cheng, but Aunt Lin hurriedly chased her out and said, "Stop Miss, don't let her go crazy!" As soon as she finished speaking, the people were about to stop Meng Rou, and someone came in from outside the courtyard to report that Xiangye was here!
"Mother, look, Dad is here, he still cares about us!" Meng Rou was overjoyed, and her tears fell even more happily.
The child can think like that, but Lin Wan didn't dare to be self-righteous, she stood nervously at the entrance of the 'door' to greet her husband, when Meng Cheng stepped into the 'door', she lowered her head and gave a cautious salute, he stood in front of her and Meng Rou for a while, before he said slowly: "Get up." ”
The two stood up, Meng Rou's eyes were red and swollen, and said, "Dad, I knew that you still recognized me as a 'girl'." ”
Looking at Meng Rou, there was still a slight father-daughter feeling in Prime Minister Meng Cheng's eyes, but she framed Meng Yuan and made him never let go.
Hearing her say this, he didn't deny it, and retreated and went into the house by himself.
The three of them went to the room together, Prime Minister Meng Cheng sat down, the two of them stood, he sat for a while, opened the door and said: "Presumably Concubine Lin has already told you the news that the emperor is going to establish a prince." ”
This sentence made Lin Wan a little flustered, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Why did Xiangye say this? Is the emperor going to make a prince? The concubine was terrified and did not dare to inquire about the previous dynasty. ”
Prime Minister Meng Cheng curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't dare? Hehe. He knocked on the table slowly, and said lightly, "If you don't dare, then you don't dare, if you can really be as honest as you say, Rou'er can marry the second prince smoothly." ”
This obviously has a later story, Lin Wan didn't answer, but Meng Rou was a little panicked.
"Dad, what do you mean by that?" She bit her lip in despair, knowing that she seemed to have misinterpreted her father's purpose for coming here.
"You are naturally my 'daughter'." Meng Cheng said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't still allow the person who framed your second sister to live in the world." ”
Meng Rou chuckled in her heart, her eyes widened.
"But if you still follow your mother and want to disobey your father's wishes, then it is not a big deal to deny you as a 'girl'."
As soon as these words came out, Meng Rou collapsed directly to the ground, crying silently: "Dad, you are so ruthless...... My mother and I have been in a relationship with you for more than ten years, but you didn't treat us as family......"
Prime Minister Meng laughed directly: "I didn't treat you as family? Rou'er, for my father, and tell you directly, if it weren't for you framing your second sister, maybe your Aunt Lin is still holding the Xiangfu Zhongfeng in her hand at the moment, and now no one can blame this qiē, you can only blame yourself. With that, he stood up and walked to the 'door', obviously saying that, "That's all I have to say, Lin Wan, you can do it yourself." After finishing speaking, he walked away without looking back.
Lin Wan laughed angrily, and the laughter shocked Meng Rou to forget to cry.
"What a Meng Yuanjun, I really don't miss the affection of the past ten years, I want to see what you can do with me and Rou'er!"
