Chapter 17
"Ahem. Visit wรจn:. โ
A familiar voice came, and Meng Yuan turned around slightly embarrassed, quietly put his hand behind his back, and tucked the 'jade' pendant into his sleeve.
"Daddy." She flattered, "You haven't slept so late?" โ
"Where can I sleep, I haven't slept yet, my 'girl' heart is about to fly, if I really sleep, I guess I won't even be able to see you." Prime Minister Meng Cheng said lightly, "The star 'attendant' guard, the road is far away, and I am tired. I ordered someone to prepare a supper and a guest room, so let's go and rest. โ
Xing Shen hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister, I will retire from my humble position." โ
Xing Shen is Zhao Chen's guard, and it is naturally wrong to claim to be a subordinate, and in the face of Prime Minister Meng Cheng, he has to call himself humble.
When he left, Meng Yuan rolled his eyes and looked at the sky, and his little hands were behind his back and he refused to turn around.
Meng Chengxiang walked around behind her, and she turned her hand to the front again, which meant not to show him what Zhao Chen had given her.
"You haven't married yet, you have to have a degree in your heart, don't overdo it." Prime Minister Meng said suddenly.
Meng Yuan was stunned, looked back and said, "Dad, didn't you send me to Luzhou?" โ
"I saw that you were rarely enlightened, and I was afraid that you would be on a whim, and after a while, you would drill the horns, so you acted in a hurry. Now that you are serious, there is no hurry. He explained.
Meng Yuan said: "Dad, I've always been very serious, you don't have to worry, I'm measured." โ
Prime Minister Meng nodded, he was going to leave, but he went around unwillingly, and after hesitating for a while, he still asked: "You didn't do anything, did you?" โ
Meng Yuan's face was so red that it seemed to be burning, he stomped his feet and said, "Dad, what are you talking about, what can we do, you are really ......" After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran.
Prime Minister Meng Cheng sighed and shook his head, it was really not for him to ask, this should have been told by his mother, but Meng Yuan had no mother early, so he could only 'worry' about it himself.
Back in the room, Meng Yuan took out the 'jade' pendant again, held it in the palm of his hand, and liked it more and more.
In fact, she has no shortage of these pendants at hand, but the 'jade', 'color' and appearance of the 'jade' given by Zhao Chen are very 'fine', and people say that 'jade' raises people, but I didn't think it before, but when I saw this 'jade', Meng Yuan was convinced of this sentence.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, she feels relieved when she looks at it, all the fears and anxieties hidden in her heart since her rebirth have all faded, probably because the person who sent it is different?
Carefully put away the 'jade' pendant, at this moment, Meng Yuan did not realize that his feelings for Zhao Chen had slowly changed from the initial guilt. She turned off the lights and went to bed, thinking in her heart that tomorrow she would have to ask Fufeng to find something to string her up, she didn't plan to hang it on her waist, she wanted to tie it around her neck, hide it in her clothes, and no one would show them.
This is something that Zhao Chen gave her, and only she can see it.
However, outsiders can't think of her mind, and even more so men.
The next day, Xing Shen said goodbye and left, and it happened that Meng Cheng was resting that day, so he took Meng Yuan out to see him off.
Xing Shen looked at Meng Yuan's waist before turning around and leaving, but he didn't find the 'jade' pendant given by His Highness, so his expression was a little complicated when he got on the horse.
Meng Yuan didn't observe his expression very carefully, and she also went back when he left, but she didn't know that when Xing Shen quickly returned to Luzhou and told His Royal Highness what he had seen and heard, someone was heartbroken.
"Not wearing it?" He asked again, uncertain.
Xing Shen said: "Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates can see very clearly that Miss Meng does not have the 'jade' pendant on her waist." โ
"Oh." Zhao Chen's eyes fluttered to the side, leaning on the couch and muttering to himself, "Maybe she put it away." โ
"Well, my subordinates think that Miss Meng may like it too much, so they are reluctant to wear it." Xingshen said in a comforting tone.
This tone was really harsh, Zhao Chen couldn't help but look at him, frowned and said: "I suddenly remembered that today is the day to go to the dam to have a look, you just came back, and there is nothing else to do, just go and see it for me." โ
Xingshen: "Your Highness ......, I haven't stopped for a while, can't you let me rest and go again?"
Although he is in Luzhou, Zhao Chen knows the movements in Beijing well.
He knew that Concubine Lin Guifei had requested a holy decree from the emperor and gave Meng Rou, the eldest 'daughter' of the Meng family, to Zhao Yin as a side room, and the date of her marriage was at the end of October.
It's September now, and he almost went back at that time, since Zhao Yin gave him such a "surprise" in Luzhou and scared Meng Yuan, then he has to pay him back, right?
"You mean, the third prince encountered an assassination when he was in Luzhou?" Prime Minister Meng Cheng said while drinking the ginseng soup stewed by the 'girl'.
Meng Yuan nodded and said, "Those people have plum 'flower' marks behind their ears, do you know where the thief is?" โ
Prime Minister Meng Cheng smiled: "Your father is not an immortal, he can guess where the thief came from with a mark." โ
Meng Yuan was a little disappointed, and Prime Minister Meng continued: "You don't have to worry too much, you are young, and it is the first time you have encountered this kind of thing, but the third prince, as a prince, is the one that the emperor likes the most, but he has lived in dire straits since he was a child." The assassination is nothing. โ
Meng Yuan said with a bitter face: "Hearing what you said, I always feel that the royal children are 'very' pitiful. โ
"Pathetic? Perhaps, even you and I may not be as easy and happy as an ordinary merchant, and there are no absolutes in everything. Prime Minister Meng put down the soup cup, "Well, Yuan Yuan's craftsmanship is getting better and better, but he can't eat it for long for his father, but it's cheaper for the third prince." โ
"Where." Meng Yuan took the prime minister's arm and said, "Dad, don't worry, even if the 'daughter' gets married, she will often come back to see her father." โ
"What do you say, after the 'daughter' gets married, she will be a member of her husband's family, and she has nothing to do with her mother's family, and you have a good life with the third prince, that is the best reward for your father." Prime Minister Meng nodded the forehead of the 'girl' and mentioned it with a smile.
Meng Yuan felt lost, leaned on his father's arms and stopped talking. Meng Rou, who also came to deliver ginseng soup to her father, who was still on business late at night, stood outside the room, knocking on the 'door' was not, not knocking on the 'door', and the hand she was holding was tired, so she put it down.
"Won't Miss go in?" The 'squire' guarding outside the 'door' asked.
Meng Rou said embarrassedly: "No, my sister should be talking to her father, I'll go back first." After saying that, she turned to leave, took the ginseng soup in her hand for a while, and threw it away when she got to a place where no one was.
"Miss......"
The maid looked at the ginseng soup that was boiled very carefully, and then looked at the young lady who was walking fast, and sighed long.
At the end of September, Meng Yuan, who had been back for a long time, received a call from the queen again and entered the palace full of suspicion.
When I entered the palace this time and passed by the Guan Ju Palace, there was no longer a punished palace 'girl' at the 'gate'. Back these days, Meng Yuan also heard some things in the palace, saying that Concubine Lin Guifei was pregnant and couldn't 'serve' to sleep, and the emperor still stayed overnight, and her favor in the palace was incomparable. But...... Is this really a good thing?
At this moment, Lin Guifei is probably a thorn in the side of everyone in the harem, even if she is the queen of the Chen family, although she doesn't show anything on her face, she is also unhappy in her heart.
What 'woman' can really stand that her husband is always with another 'woman' and that 'woman' is always against him?
When he arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, Meng Yuan saw Empress Chen. She is no different from the appearance in her memory, her face is like a peach 'flower', her eyes are full of autumn water, her golden 'color' and red are like a peony, compared to Lin Guifei, who is more than 'glamorous' and not dignified, Meng Yuan still likes her like this.
"The minister's 'daughter' Meng Yuan, see the queen's mother, the queen's mother's mother." Meng Yuan saluted in a proper manner.
"Get up." Empress Chen said gently, "Sit down, seeing that you are my daughter-in-law after the New Year, we don't have to see each other so much." โ
Meng Yuan sat down as instructed and said very cautiously: "Niangniang can afford to be a minister's 'daughter', that is the blessing of a minister's 'daughter', the more good Niangniang is to the minister's 'daughter', the more the minister's 'daughter' should respect Niangniang." โ
Empress Chen smiled faintly and said, "It's almost October, your sister is about to get married, and the family has been very busy lately." โ
Meng Yuan said truthfully: "The eldest sister's marriage has been prepared by my aunt and father, and it has been almost done, but I am not very busy. โ
Queen Chen lazily leaned on the back of the chair and said: "There is also a sister in this palace, we have a very good relationship, when she got married, this palace was busy for a long time, watching her get married, my heart was both happy and envious." Just thought, if this palace is married, what should it look like? โ
Empress Chen's sister is a 'daughter' like her, both of them are married quite well, the queen mother is self-evident, and her sister is married to Prince Gong, that is, the second brother of today's saint, and the relationship between husband and wife has always been very good. It's just that the two have been living in Prince Gong's fiefdom and have never returned to Beijing.
"Will Yuan Yuan also envy your sister?" Empress Chen seemed to ask casually, but Meng Yuan couldn't guess her intentions.
She pondered for a moment and said: "My sister has the fate of my sister, and the minister's 'daughter' also has the fate of the minister'...... 'daughter', everyone follows the step-by-step plan, and the minister's 'daughter' feels ."
"Alright." Empress Chen suddenly interrupted her words, and laughed loudly, "Look at you, what are you nervous about, didn't I tell you last time, I am Chen'er's mother, we will be a family in the future, you don't have to worry about talking to me word by word." โ
Meng Yuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Niangniang smiled." โ
"Okay, there's a reason I'm announcing that you're in." Empress Chen sat up straight and said, "There is a star-picking tower in the south of the Royal 'Flower' Garden, and the 'flowers' on it are blooming 'beautiful'. She didn't wait for Meng Yuan to answer, and instructed herself, "Xiao Quanzi, take Miss Meng to pick up the star tower." โ
The little eunuch came up and bowed down to lead Meng Yuan away. Meng Yuan didn't figure out what the queen was going to do until he walked out of the Jiaofang Palace, but listening to her tone, it wouldn't hurt her. Now Concubine Lin is the most favored in the palace, and she is pregnant with a dragon, although Queen Chen is the queen, she has no heirs, except for her adopted son Zhao Chen, no one can rely on.
If she wants to gain a firm foothold, she will naturally be good to Zhao Chen's future concubine.
In a nervous mood, he followed the little eunuch to the Star Picking Tower, Meng Yuan walked up the steps one by one, and when he was about to reach the 'door', Xiao Quanzi in front of him stopped, smiled and said: "Miss Meng, the slave will send you here, you have to go by yourself on the next road." โ
Meng Yuan couldn't help asking, "Father-in-law, how long do you think it's appropriate for me to enjoy the 'flowers' here?" "She really wants to go home, it's too hard to think about it in the palace, she didn't have that thing in her previous life, and she only has the memory of her past life in this life, otherwise it would be ...... Don't mention it.
"Miss Meng, this slave doesn't know, you have to go up and see what the 'flowers' inside say." Xiaoquanzi said meaningfully.
Meng Yuan is even more 'confused' and 'confused', can 'flowers' still speak? It's just that Izumiko is gone, and she has no one to ask.
After going up the last few steps, Meng Yuan tentatively knocked on the 'door', but no one answered.
So, she pushed the 'door' and entered, raised her eyes and looked in, which was really taken aback.
I saw a soft couch in the middle of the boundless blooming fresh 'flowers', and a young man with a brocade dress and a golden crown was lying on the soft couch. His phoenix eyes were slightly closed, his ink-like black hair was scattered like a spring on the snow-white satin surface under him, and the pearls on the golden crown were really like his skin, glowing with extraordinary luster.
"You're back?" Meng Yuan spoke unconsciously, and her tone was a surprise that she hadn't even expected.
Zhao Chen slowly opened his eyes, his face was like a beautiful 'jade', his eyes were like paint, he was really a beautiful man like no other in the world.
"I just arrived in the palace, and I only saw my father, so I couldn't help but go directly to your house to cause criticism, so I asked my mother to pass you in."
As he spoke, his eyes kept searching for her, and there was no trace of the 'jade' pendant on his waist or elsewhere, and this recognition really made the corners of his mouth hang uncontrollably.
"But I don't know why you haven't worn what I gave you." He asked, his beautiful deep voice as if trying to restrain something
