Only a few days after Princess Jing'an returned home, the news came that she had asked the emperor to go to the fiefdom.

As a colt, if the princess leaves, there is no reason for Su Jichen to continue to stay in the capital, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the ambitious Su Pony. He was definitely unwilling and was struggling.

Especially Su Jichen's parents, they have just moved to the capital not long ago, and they are not familiar with the circles and customs of this high society, so they are going to a remote place like Jing'an, and no one will be happy.

As a result, Su Yuma's parents began to fight with the princess in various ways, and the princess had no time to take care of Meng Yuan's side.

When I heard about this, Meng Yuan was in the Prime Minister's Mansion to save relatives, and today it was Zhao Chen who accompanied her, and the couple sat with the Prime Minister to chat about family life and have dinner, which was much closer than with the emperor and queen.

"How is the crown princess doing recently? If you are pregnant, you have to rest, you don't need to come to see the minister, the minister is very good. "Prime Minister Meng Cheng has a grandson who is full of everything, and he doesn't care about anything else at all.

Zhao Chen smiled: "Prime Minister don't worry, I won't let Yuan Yuan have any mistakes." ”

Prime Minister Meng Cheng twisted his beard and smiled: "The old minister must believe in the prince, but there are many crises in this palace, and the prince has every opportunity, if there is any omission one day, it will be regretted." The crown princess still has to learn smarter by herself, and she can't always rely on others. ”

Meng Yuan pouted and said, "Father said this, as if I was stupid. ”

Prime Minister Meng Cheng glanced at Zhao Chen and said, "The crown princess left some things in the mansion and forgot to take them, go with the housekeeper to see if you need them, and the old minister and His Royal Highness the crown prince will stay for a while." ”

Meng Yuan knew that his father was just looking for a reason, so he didn't refute it, and got up and left directly.

Looking at her back, Prime Minister Meng Cheng said lightly: "It's been so long in a flash, the crown princess is going to be a mother, time is really fast." ”

Zhao Chen said softly: "Where, the Prime Minister's demeanor has not diminished back then. ”

Prime Minister Meng Cheng smiled and said: "Actually, Your Highness should also know that you are much older than the crown princess, and she is still a child, so I have to take care of you more." ”

Zhao Chen took a sip of the wine glass, and said with a smile: "Actually, the prime minister doesn't have to worry about Yuan Yuan not being able to resist, she is no longer the same as before." ”

Prime Minister Meng Cheng nodded: "It does look a lot more mature." ”

"The person who wants to be a mother is naturally different from the past, and ......" Zhao Chen dragged out his tone, looked at the moon outside the window, and said in a rambling voice, "In this dangerous environment, she won't stay for long." ”

Prime Minister Meng raised his eyes and looked at him: "Oh? ”

"Didn't the Prime Minister expect it a long time ago, so the son-in-law of the Marquis of Wu'an married the granddaughter of the prince." Zhao Chen said gently, "I don't know if their relationship is okay?" ”

Meng Ze is married to the granddaughter of Concubine De's mother's family, who is Concubine De? Zhao Yin's biological mother.

Prime Minister Meng Cheng was silent for a while and said, "Your Highness, is this to blame me, where is the Meng family involved?" ”

Zhao Chen shook his wine glass and did not speak.

Prime Minister Meng Cheng said: "In fact, it is not easy for the old minister to interfere in this matter, after all, the old minister has separated from the Wu'an Hou Mansion, strictly speaking, it is not a family." ”

Zhao Chen said slowly: "The left and right are surnamed Meng, so naturally they are still a family. I don't mean anything else when I say this, the prime minister doesn't have to worry too much, it's just that in the position of the crown prince, the second emperor brother is really not a good choice, if there is a chance, the prime minister still has a good discussion with Wu Anhou. ”

Prime Minister Meng Cheng said: "The position of the crown prince is naturally yours of His Royal Highness the Prince, and there will be no one else." ”

Zhao Chen chuckled: "I'm tired of sitting in this position, and I don't have much interest in this country, and even if I'm interested, the time won't allow it." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means ......"

"Compared to the second emperor brother, I have a better candidate, and I still need a lot of support from the prime minister." Zhao Chen's eyes were like torches.

When Meng Yuan came back, the atmosphere was slightly solemn.

What was his father thinking, Zhao Chen only ate and did not speak.

Meng Yuan sat down, Zhao Chen prepared vegetables for her, she wanted to ask him something, Zhao Chen only said: "Be good, eat and sleep." ”

Meng Yuan had no choice but to give up.

On the way back, in the carriage, Meng Yuan still asked.

"What's wrong with you and your father, why did the atmosphere change when I walked away for a while?"

Zhao Chen opened his eyes and looked at her, and said softly: "It's nothing, you don't have to mind if you talk about some things from the previous dynasty." ”

Meng Yuan sighed, although she was still worried, but the women in the back house had to stop doing politics since ancient times, and she still kept her mouth shut, this is a taboo.

Now that winter has arrived, the New Year is about to be ushered in, and the palace is lit up with lights, and the night is also brilliantly lit.

Meng Yuan and Zhao Chen walked in the palace together, and suddenly remembered something.

"Does the princess really want to go back to Jing'an?" She looked up and asked Zhao Chen.

"She has figured it out for herself, this is a good thing, even if she doesn't want to leave by herself, I will let her leave the capital." He looked down at her and said, "I'm not going to let any of the threats to you stay here." ”

Meng Yuan smiled after hearing this: "Hearing this, it really makes people willing to do anything for you, but Your Highness, you really don't have to do this for me, now that the sage king of the court is eyeing you, you have to be careful." ”

Zhao Chen said lightly: "I will be wary of him, you can raise the fetus with peace of mind, and he will soon have a good result." ”

Meng Yuan nodded ignorantly, not quite sure what "good result" meant.

But soon, there was an echo.

Zhao Chen organized the princes and nobles to go to Qingqing together, she didn't go over because of pregnancy, Zhao Yin went to take Zhou Jing and Meng Rou this time, but Zhou Jing's horse was inexplicably shocked, Zhao Yin chased after her in order to save her, the two almost fell off the cliff, fortunately Zhao Chen and the guards rescued each other, and barely escaped.

It's just that Zhao Yin's leg was stepped on by a frightened horse, and the injury was very serious, so he was sent back on the spot and passed to the imperial doctor.

Meng Yuan waited in the dormitory, turning in circles in a hurry, and as soon as Zhao Chen stepped into the East Palace, she blew over like a gust of wind.

"What's the matter, are you hurt?"

She nervously checked his body up and down, and was relieved to see that he was neatly and cleanly, and did not look like he was injured.

Zhao Chen said: "I was a little injured, and if I wasn't injured, it was easy to be suspected." He took her hand and walked inside, "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Meng Yuan was a little foggy.

After entering the dormitory and retreating, Zhao Chen poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip before saying, "You have heard of today's good news." ”

Meng Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "Good news? Are you saying that King Xian fell from his horse and was trampled on by a horse? ”

"Princess Xian is Dr. Zhou's favorite daughter, if the second emperor brother still wants to get Dr. Zhou's assistant, he must not let Zhou Jing have any mistakes." Zhao Chen stroked the jade wrench on his thumb, "So ......"

Meng Yuan said boldly: "So you made a move, let Princess Xian's horse be frightened, lure King Xian to save it, and let them both ......"

Zhao Chen said helplessly: "Shh, although all the people in the East Palace are mine, but you are so loud, are you afraid that others will not know?" ”

Meng Yuan covered his mouth in surprise: "Why is Your Highness like this?" ”

Zhao Chen smiled, his eyes sharp: "Since ancient times, the dispute in the East Palace has been like this. So far, he and I will either die or die, since the ending cannot be changed, I will naturally not be passive. ”

Meng Yuan paused, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Then you have to protect yourself, but don't do anything, put yourself in." ”

Zhao Chen's eyebrows softened, touched her head and said, "In your heart, am I so useless?" You can't even protect yourself. ”

Meng Yuan patted his hand: "I didn't say that, I just care about you." ”

"Then thank you for your husband's concern, I just went out all day, and I was really hungry, what do you say, lady?" Zhao Chen said with a bitter face.

Meng Yuan smiled: "I'll arrange the kitchen." ”

Zhao Chen watched her leave.

Up to now, it is impossible for King Xian to become the emperor, because if he ascends the throne, Zhao Chen's people will not end well.

Not to mention the fifth prince, he is Zhao Yin's person.

The eldest prince has always been imprisoned, and he has wanted to harm him before, and he is not a good candidate.

After all, among the five sons of the father, only the fourth prince is the emperor, and he can rest assured.

Wait for the crown prince to report King Xian's injuries to his father......

Zhao Chen sneered: "At that time, the fourth brother was not the worst among the princes. ”

A few days after King Xian's fall from his horse, Meng Yuan went to visit Master Yunshui again.

This time, Master Yunshui still disappeared as usual, Meng Yuan hesitated for a while, and couldn't wait, so he broke in directly.

In the main hall, the gauze tents were flying, and Yun Shui was sitting cross-legged on the futon, chanting scriptures.

Hearing the footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked, as if he was expecting, and seemed to be a little helpless, he called a Buddha and said, "The crown princess is still here." ”

Meng Yuan said: "It's really rude to break in, and I hope the master won't mind." ”

Yun Shui was silent for a while and said, "Now that we are here, there is no need to talk about anything else, the princess can sit down." ”

Meng Yuan thanked Yunshui, found a place to sit down, and retreated.

"It's been a few months since I said goodbye to the master last time, I wonder how the master is doing lately?" She glanced at Yun Shui's knees, "I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that the master injured his knees and couldn't stand up again, it's really a pity." ”

Yun Shui said with a smile: "Thank you for the princess's concern, the poor monk is very good, although he can't walk on his legs, as long as his heart is in all directions, he will be at ease." ”

Meng Yuan nodded: "What the master said is extremely true. I came here today to ask the Master if what I saw in my dream that day was all true. ”

Yun Shui said: "When the fake is true, it is true, and when it is false, it is also true, why should the princess be entangled in the truth?" ”

Meng Yuan said: "Then I will have something to say." ”

Yun Shui made a "please" gesture.

Meng Yuan took a breath and said, "Master, I want to ask you, whether Your Highness has no chance of the throne in this life, and if you ...... Time is running out? ”

Yun Shui's eyebrows froze, and he pondered for a moment and said, "The crown princess still asked." ”

"Will the master answer that?"

Yun Shui said: "Actually, His Royal Highness knows this matter better than the poor monk, why didn't the crown princess go directly to ask His Highness?" ”

Meng Yuan choked, and only after a while did he say, "I'...... I still don't have the courage. ”

"The past and the present are all in vain, if the crown princess can't face her past self, how can she know that Her Royal Highness can face the past?" Yun Shui said with a smile, "For these things, the crown princess should go directly to ask His Royal Highness, and when the knot between the two of you is opened, if there is anything that needs a poor monk, it is not too late to come to the poor monk again." ”

Meng Yuan nodded as if he didn't understand, stood up and said goodbye.

Yun Shui looked at her back and sighed: "Amitabha Buddha ......"
