Chapter 5
After Prime Minister Meng left, everyone in the Three Princes' Mansion smiled, for no other reason, just one-
"Let all those who have been waiting in front go to the account room and receive their rewards...... The update is so fast. After Xing Shen finished speaking lightly, he turned around and 'wanted to leave', but was stopped by someone.
"'Waiter' Captain Guard, what day is it, how can you get a reward?" 'Squire' Wei asked.
Xing Shen lifted his eyelids: "What other day, Your Highness is happy today, seeing that everyone has been tired lately, he allocated some reward, don't you want it?" If you don't want me, I'll take it for you. So saying, he went to the bookkeeper.
"Take it, take it! Why not take it! ”
The 'attendants' dispersed in a hurry, and Xing Shen remembered the appearance of the Third Highness looking at the purse on his waist in the mirror, and hooked the corners of his mouth shallowly.
But in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not as harmonious as here.
Approaching the Dragon Boat Festival, I was about to be able to go to the dragon boat race with Zhao Chen, which was originally a good thing, but before it arrived, a bad thing happened beforehand.
Aunt Wan and Meng Rou are coming back.
Before Prime Minister Meng Cheng married Meng Yuan's biological mother, there was a girl Lin Wan, and the two had no feelings, just went step by step. After Meng Yuan's biological mother entered the 'door', Prime Minister Meng Cheng and Lin Wan had fewer 'interactions'.
Meng Rou is the 'daughter' of Lin Wan and Meng Cheng, two years older than Meng Yuan, and she is sixteen this year, which can be regarded as Lin Wan's dependence.
After Meng Yuan's biological mother died, it was Lin Wan who took care of her and Meng Rou to grow up together, and their relationship in their previous life had always been very good, at least on the surface. Later, they also contributed to the affairs of Meng Yuan and Su Jichen, not long after she and Su Jichen 'eloped', Lin Wan was carried from her aunt to her wife, and Meng Rou also became the legitimate prime minister's 'daughter'.
As for her and her mother, I don't know where they have been forgotten for a long time.
Thinking about it now, Meng Yuan only felt that he was too stupid, where could he really regard himself as a stepmother of his own 'daughter'?
When she was still in the Prime Minister's Mansion, her father cared for her, so Lin Wan and Meng Rou didn't pay so much attention, Lin Wan served Meng Cheng for many years and has always been a roommate, or later Meng Yuan grew up, felt that Lin Wan was so good to herself, and sighed all day long to tell how she was looked down upon by her subordinates, so she went to ask her father to give her a position, although she was just an aunt.
Moreover, in her previous life, she and Su Jichen had 'private' meetings and sent messages, all of which were "helped" by Meng Rou, and even their acquaintance did not lack Lin Wan's help, Meng Rou also kept saying in front of her that the Third Highness was not, but when the Third Highness passed the house, she tried her best to express it, that admiring and crazy eyes, Meng Yuan didn't have the mind to see it in her previous life, and now she wakes up and thinks about it, but she is really calculated by others!
Gritting his teeth, Meng Yuan knocked on his father's door, and walked in with the ginseng soup he had cooked by himself after getting permission.
"Daddy." She called out sweetly, "Are you still busy?" ”
Prime Minister Meng Cheng was writing an excerpt, and when he saw her come in, he put down his pen and greeted her and said, "You haven't rested so late?" ”
"I saw that the light was still on in the study, and I thought you must still be busy, so I cooked you ginseng soup." She put the soup cup on the table, grabbed her father's hand and said, "Come and taste whether the 'girl''s craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”
Prime Minister Meng Cheng sat down with relief and said: "When your mother was still alive, she often cooked ginseng soup for your father. ”
Thinking of her previous life, Meng Yuan felt very guilty in her heart, and she said with red eyes: "Mother left early and failed to take good care of my father, so in the future, I will be replaced by a 'daughter'." ”
Seeing that the 'girl' was red-eyed, Meng Chengxiang smiled and said, "This is a happy thing, what is sad?" Although your mother is gone, there is still a father, and your father will never let you be wronged. ”
Meng Yuan burst into tears and laughed: "I know, dad, drink it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold for a while." ”
Prime Minister Meng nodded and safely drank the ginseng soup cooked by the 'girl' and the 'fine' heart. When his father had almost drunk, Meng Yuan spoke again.
"By the way, the 'daughter' heard from someone today that Aunt Lin and her sister will be back tomorrow, and the 'daughter' wants to hold a reception banquet for them, what does my father think?" She said with a sincere face, "Aunt Lin has done her best to serve her father all these years, and even her father's subordinates and 'doormen' are full of praise, and my father should be kind to Aunt Lin." ”
A concubine in the back house 'servant', even the people in the front house are praising her, she is still a man, and she doesn't have much peace when she thinks about it.
Prime Minister Meng Cheng is scheming, how can he not hear the subtext of the 'girl'? He squinted at Meng Yuan, as if he was thinking about who taught her, and after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have a suitable candidate, so he simply asked directly.
"Who told you to tell me this?"
Meng Yuan said calmly: "No one asked me to say it, it was what I wanted to say." ”
Prime Minister Meng put down the spoon and said, "Yuan Yuan has really grown up and has his own calculations. He walked back to the desk angrily, "Dad understands what you mean, but Dad hopes that you will have something to say in the future, and there is nothing that cannot be said between our father and daughter." ”
Meng Yuan bit his 'lip': "My sister is also my father's 'daughter'......"
"Look for a fight! So how can it be the same? You just need to remember that you don't need to beat around the bush to talk to your dad in the future, you know? ”
"The 'girl' knows." Meng Yuan nodded obediently.
"Go and rest." Prime Minister Meng Cheng put pen to paper, "Don't stay up late at the 'female' family. ”
"The 'girl' retired."
Meng Yuan withdrew from the study, thinking back to his father's words, his mood was quite complicated.
has such a father, why did she have to 'elope' with Su Jichen for the so-called "love" in her previous life?
At a young age, raised in a deep boudoir, and was spoiled by his father from childhood to adulthood, where do you know how to recognize people?
A trusted aunt instigated in her ear, and her close sister gave advice by her side, and she took it for granted that she began to rebel, began to misunderstand, and began to drill the horns, everything was wrong in her previous life, and she was ...... She will never let them succeed again.
In the end, the matter of the reception banquet was over.
Because she forgot one thing, when the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, there was a banquet in the palace, and the prime minister's family would inevitably participate.
Now that I think about it, even Aunt Lin and Meng Rou were invited that time, but they were invited by Concubine Lin, whose mother's family has flown up the branches in recent years, and the inside story is self-evident.
"Miss, which one do you want to wear?"
Fufeng brought a few skirts for Meng Yuan to choose, Meng Yuan looked back, lit a smoke-blue 'colored' skirt and said, "Just it." ”
"Wouldn't it be too vegetarian?" Yangliu Road.
"Miss is going to a palace banquet, not a talent show, why dress so 'glamorous'."
After Fufeng finished speaking, she began to groom Meng Yuan, but her words reminded Meng Yuan.
This time I went to the palace to attend a banquet, I would definitely meet Zhao Chen, as the emperor's most favored prince, his position has always been easy to find, and she can see him.
Inexplicably happy in her heart, Meng Yuan didn't understand this feeling, she was a little panicked, reluctantly suppressed these, and gently stroked the beads on her wrist and thought about other things.
Thinking about it, I thought of the reason for her cold in her previous life, but it was because she was hit by someone when she went to the 'flower' garden and accidentally fell into the pool.
The person who hit her was from the outer courtyard, why did he suddenly run to the inner courtyard that day?
"Lilacs." Meng Yuanlang called.
Lilac, who was waiting outside, walked in and said, "Yes, Miss." ”
"You come to help me with my makeup, and Fufeng goes to fetch something for me."
"What does the young lady want?" Fufeng asked.
Meng Yuan raised his hand and said, "Come over with your ears." ”
Fu Feng leaned over, the two whispered for a moment, Yang Liu raised his eyes and looked, and then lowered his head.
"The slave knows, don't worry, Miss."
After Fufeng left, the more Meng Yuan thought about it, the more wrong it became. She didn't go to the palace banquet, and the people who benefited the most were Meng Rou and Aunt Lin, she couldn't imagine that someone else would make a move on her. If it's really them, then it's really Gao Ce, they are far away from their parents' family, no one would have thought that it had anything to do with them, and I don't know when they started arranging this matter, I'm afraid there are already a lot of their eyeliner in the house, if it weren't for her to live again......
Fufeng only returned when Meng Yuan was about to set off with his father. Her face was not very good-looking, but when she saw Aunt Lin and the others were there, she immediately calmed her mind, walked forward with a smile and said, "Miss, I got the bracelet you wanted." ”
Meng Yuan smiled faintly: "Got it?" Put it on for me. ”
Seeing that the 'daughter' was so happy, Prime Minister Meng Cheng also looked over, and then saw the 'jade' bracelet of his deceased wife, and his originally 'very' happy expression instantly sank.
Aunt Lin also smiled a little reluctantly, but she still praised her: "This bracelet has a good head and a beautiful style, it really sets our garden." ”
Meng Rou also gently echoed: "My sister is naturally beautiful, no one can compare with her when she dresses up, and at today's palace banquet, everyone's eyes have to be attracted by my sister." ”
It's obviously a compliment, but it's not very comfortable, which lady likes to be watched?
Despite the many thoughts in his heart, Meng Yuan still said kindly: "My sister praised it falsely, how can I be as good as my sister said, and I am still young, and my sister is the protagonist today." ”
The words are implying that Meng Rou is not young but not married yet, today's palace banquet is an opportunity to choose a suitable husband, and she Meng Yuan stole the limelight, Meng Rou was unwilling, and when she said this, her face was a little unbearable.
"Alright, without further ado, let's go."
Prime Minister Meng Cheng suddenly spoke, and none of the three 'women' dared to refute, got into the carriage, and went to the banquet together.
The Imperial Palace, the place where the imperial power of the world is concentrated, even at night, the strings of palace lights make the sky shine as if it were daytime.
In this place, everyone sharpened their heads and squeezed in, desperately climbing up, no one paid attention to how many white bones were buried in the ground, and only saw endless prosperity and glory in their eyes.
This is the first time that Meng Yuan has entered the palace after being reborn, and if it is Shun, she will see Zhao Chen for the third time.
Thinking that there is really a god in this world, she has just crossed his name in her heart, and a few tall and handsome young people came in front of her, led by the eldest prince Zhao Xuan, and standing beside him is Zhao Chen, who is wearing a mysterious 'color' python robe.
The dark 'colored' robe, the waist is tied with a 'jade' belt, and the most conspicuous thing is the moire purse that 'swings' slightly with his pace.
Meng Yuan's cheeks suddenly flushed, and before she could turn her gaze, Zhao Chen looked keenly, his gaze only stayed on her for a moment before turning to Prime Minister Meng Cheng, standing in place and waiting for them with a few brothers.
Today, he has a golden crown and a bun, and his red lips and 'jade' face are dazzling.
This man is feared and dependent, intelligent, 'refined', with three points of majesty, and meticulous.
Meng Rou turned her head sideways to observe Meng Yuan's reaction, and saw that she was shy and timid, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"The old minister has seen several highnesses, and His Royal Highness is a thousand years old."
Prime Minister Meng Cheng saluted, and the family members behind him also saluted, several princes looked at Zhao Chen jokingly, Zhao Chen looked at the eldest prince without changing his face, Zhao Xuan received a gaze hooked the corners of his mouth, and said: "Prime Minister is polite, please get up quickly." ”
Zhao Chen watched Zhao Xuan help the prime minister up with his hands behind his back, and when everyone was not paying attention, his eyes drifted towards Meng Yuan.
The smoky blue 'color' suits her very well, she is really more and more beautiful, peeking at him like a cat's claws, scratching him upset 'messy'.
"I have heard the prime minister's daughter for a long time, and when I see it today, it really deserves its reputation."
The fifth prince, Zhao Li, was frivolous, knowing that Meng Yuan was the concubine that Zhao Chen had already set, but he still stared at her intently, and he still spoke falsely.
Meng Rou laughed secretly, thinking that Meng Yuan would definitely be unable to resist, so she heard her say generously: "It is the blessing of my Meng family's 'daughter' to be praised by His Royal Highness, but the minister's 'daughter' sister has always been shy, so the minister's 'daughter' praised her sister thanks to His Royal Highness Five." ”
Seeing that she misinterpreted her meaning, Zhao Li wanted to say something unhappily, but saw Zhao Chen looking at him lightly, and that solemn warning look made him swallow the words that came to his mouth.
The second prince Zhao Yin glanced at Zhao Li with his eyes, and Zhao Li exchanged his eyes, so he completely lost the meaning of wanting to make trouble again.
"It's not too early, Prime Minister, please." Zhao Xuan spoke out to solve the siege.
Prime Minister Meng glanced at the second prince Zhao Yin meaningfully, and did not retract his gaze until he crossed him and left with his family.
The people present were all smart people, and they all understood that he saw that Zhao Yin instructed Zhao Li to embarrass him, a few days ago, Prime Minister Meng Cheng and the second prince disagreed politically, and stood on the same front with the eldest prince and Zhao Chen, and the second prince was unhappy.
After the prime minister and his entourage left, Zhao Chen opened his mouth slowly.
His eyes were like cold stars, the corners of his 'lips' were lightly raised, and his smile was like frost and snow: "It's better for the fifth brother to go to the place of Goolan Courtyard less, but recently he has become more and more unscrupulous, and his father knows that he must be angry." After saying Zhao Li, he looked at Zhao Yin again, "What does the second brother think?" When the words fell, he didn't wait for him to answer, but smiled and left expressionlessly.
The one in the world who dares to show him such a face, except for the current saint, is him Zhao Chen.
Zhao Li 'wanted' to catch up, but Zhao Yin raised his hand to stop him, and said humbly: "Big brother, please first." ”
Zhao Xuan had been laughing, and now he was smiling more and more happily, nodding and leaving first.
When they left, Zhao Yin raised his head and looked at the 'yin' owl.
"Idiot." He snorted coldly and left Zhao Li alone.
Zhao Li was left alone in place, and it was difficult to catch up with him because of his face, so he hesitated for a long time, and happened to meet the fourth prince who had bad legs and feet, so he had to accompany him.
As he walked, he was distressed, how did Zhao Chen know that he had gone to the land of Goolan? He was very secretive.
After leaving first, Zhao Chen walked quickly through the corridors, and only after a long time did he see Meng Yuan and his party.
He clenched the brocade box in his hand and followed them silently waiting for the opportunity. After a while, Meng Yuan finally fell at the end of the line, walking as if thinking about something, he seized the opportunity to step forward, stuffed the brocade box into her hand, and then turned and went to another corridor.
This action was completed almost in the blink of an eye, and before Meng Yuan could be surprised, he could only see his long 'jade' back.
"What's wrong, Yuanyuan?" Meng Rou saw that she hadn't followed for a long time, so she came over to ask like a good sister.
Meng Yuan immediately put the brocade box into his cuffs, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the 'flowers' in the palace are blooming well, I like it, and I am a little forgetful for a while." ”
Prime Minister Meng Cheng knew that what she said was not true, but he still said: "You girl, when you are in the house, I don't see you 'serving', 'making' 'flowers' and plants, is the moon in the palace more round?" ”
Meng Yuan hurriedly followed the team and flattered his father: "What's the matter, no matter how beautiful the 'flowers' in the palace are, they are not as good as those in our family." ”
Prime Minister Meng snorted lightly, raised his feet and continued to walk forward. Meng Yuan followed, taking out the box and opening it to take a look when others weren't looking.
It is a pair of earrings, and the 'color' of the face matches her skirt today, and His Royal Highness ...... It was as if he knew she was wearing such clothes.
Is it a coincidence?
I always feel that I can't find him everywhere, but he is everywhere
