Chapter 36
It turns out that this is what the inside of Duanwang's Mansion looks like.
While the other ladies were chatting, Meng Yuan quietly lifted a little hijab and looked at the situation in the room.
In the future, this will be her home, her and Zhao Chen's home. It was bigger than she had imagined, but it wasn't empty at all. Like the mansions of other royal children, Duanwang's Mansion is undoubtedly luxurious, everything can be counted, if she is in the past life and later, I am afraid that if she is given a random thing here, she can live for several lifetimes, and she is most afraid of comparison.
Zhao Chen arranged their bedroom very warmly, and some details were even very similar to her boudoir in Xiangfu, especially the dresser, the texture was obviously better than her boudoir, but the style was exactly the same.
He was very attentive, which made her happy and tangled.
Thinking of her previous suspicions, she always felt that Zhao Chen might know something. It is possible that as soon as she left the Prime Minister's Mansion, someone told him where she went, and the reason why he didn't go directly to the hospital to stop her from seeing the doctor may be afraid of arousing her suspicion.
However, just waiting at home was enough for her to understand.
Zhao Chen must have known the doctor's words, so he specially asked Yunshui to calm her heart.
What Yun Shui said, I'm afraid it's not true.
Although Zhao Chen's good intentions moved her, and made her no longer doubt his feelings for her, but when she thought that she might not have children, Meng Yuan couldn't be happy, she slowly put down her hijab and folded her hands and fell silent.
Mrs. Hou chatted with the eldest princess of Jian'an for a while, and seeing that Meng Yuan had been very quiet, she couldn't help asking, "Is the princess tired?" I'm afraid that it will take a while for the prince to come back, or will you lean on your grandmother and take a nap? β
Meng Yuan slowly shook his head and said, "No, don't worry, old lady, Yuan Yuan is fine." β
The eldest princess of Jian'an gave the old lady a look, and slowly withdrew with the other ladies, Meng Yuan sat alone for about a while, the sky was just a little dark, the door was opened again, and the voice of the bride sounded: "Princess, the prince is back!" β
Meng Yuan instantly became nervous, and sat there with his back straight, his hands at a loss, not knowing where to put them.
Zhao Chen happened to see her like this when he stepped into the door, and after laughing, he walked over, under the arrangement of Xi Niang, he picked up the wine glass, slowly crossed it with Meng Yuan's slender wrist, and drank the glass of wine.
Xi Niang started to take the next step again, Meng Yuan followed indifferently, and Zhao Chen saw it in his eyes, and knew that her mind was not on this.
Today was their wedding day, but she was still distracted, and to be honest, he was quite unhappy.
But he really couldn't be angry with her, and when he lifted her hijab with a wedding scale, and saw her noble and beautiful face and helpless eyes, he had nothing but love in his heart.
A pair of shining eyes, with a strong attachment and trust in them, as well as unconfident hesitation.
Zhao Chen put down the wedding scale, withdrew the wedding lady, and stretched out his hand to her.
Meng Yuan looked at his slender and white hands and was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "What's wrong?" β
Zhao Chen smiled, bent down to her ear and said, "Sitting like this, don't you panic?" β
Meng Yuan blushed, put his hand in his palm, and got up and stood beside him.
He must have drunk a lot of wine, and although his face was still inconspicuous, he had the smell of alcohol on his body. It stands to reason that if it were another man, she would have frowned in disgust. But on him, it seems that even the smell of wine is fragrant.
Even do the kind of thing between husband and wife...... She was also expecting more than afraid.
In her previous life with Su Jichen, she didn't know why she was so unwilling, always lifeless and uninteresting, now that she thinks about it, I'm afraid that she was more angry than sincere at that time, so she was so unwilling and resistant.
"Distracted again." Zhao Chen took aside the flattering longan lotus seeds on the bed, and stood by the bed and looked at her helplessly.
Meng Yuan raised his eyes and immediately said, "Don't sweep away." β
Zhao Chen raised his eyebrows: "Do you like to sit on them?" β
Meng Yuan pursed his lips and said, "This is an auspicious sign, sweep it away, and ......"
Zhao Chen also knew what she was thinking, the corners of her forehead jumped, and she said directly: "It's just swept aside, and it's still on the bed, don't worry." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "And even without these, we can have a noble son early." β
Meng Yuan was shy and sad, clutching his sleeves in a tangled manner, Zhao Chen looked at her for a while, and suddenly stepped forward and hugged her sideways, making her scream.
"Yikes! What is this for......" Meng Yuan said very nervously.
Zhao Chen slowly said that she put her on the bed, and gently took off the phoenix crown for her, without the cover of the bead curtain, her charming face became clearer and clearer, he looked intently, her appearance was reflected in her dark eyes, and she heard him say slowly: "If we want to give birth to a noble son early, we have to work hard." β
Meng Yuan's ears itched, and he couldn't help but turn his head to avoid his snort.
Zhao Chen chuckled lightly and said softly: "Your sister is already pregnant, if we don't work hard, won't we be able to keep up." β
Meng Yuan looked at her, there was a mist in her eyes, and her delicate appearance really made people want to destroy.
"If you look at me like this, you're not afraid that I won't be able to control myself."
As soon as Zhao Chen raised his hand, the red bed tent fell, and the maid had already lit the lamp outside, although the tent was a little dark, but they could also see each other clearly.
"Is it okay to blow out the lamp......" Meng Yuan said with a breath.
Zhao Chen unhurriedly untied the strap of her wedding dress, and said with a smile: "I can't see you if I blow out the lamp, it's not good." β
ββ¦β¦ Why you should watch: She asked embarrassedly.
Zhao Chen looked at her, he was so handsome, always indifferent, always omnipotent, looking at other people's cold eyes to her, he was full of tenderness and affection, such a difference was even more unbearable.
He was obviously just undressing, but she felt uncomfortable, and felt as if her body had changed badly, and she was too ashamed.
"Blow the lamp!" Meng Yuan bit his lip and said, "Otherwise, I'll go." β
Zhao Chen chuckled: "Where are you going?" Suddenly, he lowered his face, leaned over her and said word by word, "Meng Yuan, you can't go anywhere in your life, no one can get you except me." β
Meng Yuan was taken aback, looking at him blankly, he knew that he was a little out of proportion, he eased his expression, kissed her earlobe, and said in her ear, "I can't help but be scared." β
Meng Yuan looked at him straightly, with a little grievance and apprehension, seeing that he was upset and worried.
"Talking about fun, I'll send you where you're going, don't cry, okay?" He painfully wiped away her unconscious tears.
Meng Yuan directly wrapped her arms around his neck, put her lips away, and waited for the kiss to end, she said: "Not only in this life, but also in the future Meng Yuan, I will only be your Zhao Chen's wife." β
This time, Zhao Chen was stunned, he looked at her in surprise, followed by relief, peace of mind and touch, of course, the most obvious was the joy on that face.
"Then ...... tonight," Zhao Chen looked at her half-faded clothes with unfinished eyes.
Meng Yuan looked at the side and said dryly: "If you really don't want to blow the lamp...... Just don't blow it. β
Zhao Chen smiled clearly, Fu Feng and Mo Ya, who were keeping vigil at the door, glanced at each other, and both blushed and looked to the side.
This night is very long, Fufeng arrived at the palace as a wedding maid, Mo Ya is the big girl next to Zhao Chen, as soon as the two met, they were told by the housekeeper that their identities were the same, Fu Feng thought that Mo Ya would be unhappy and find her trouble, but there was no at all, she was very kind, and she was mentioned everywhere to help her, the people in this palace were really like the princes, all of them were so good.
Zhao Chen's mansion is actually very simple, except for him and Meng Yuan, all of them are subordinates, and most of them are men, so it is not troublesome to manage.
The only thing that is different is that there are a lot of guards in Duanwang's Mansion, and the defense is extremely tight, and there is a group of guards within a few steps, which is more than a star and a half more than the Prime Minister's Mansion that has specially sent more people.
In addition to Meng Yuan and Zhao Chen, there is also a special guest in the Pushi Hall in the southwest corner of the palace, and that is Master Yunshui.
There is a Buddhist hall built there, which seems to be specially prepared for Master Yunshui, and I don't know how long he and Zhao Chen have known each other.
No matter what, Meng Yuan had to entertain Master Yunshui well.
However, what is more urgent than these things in the palace is the matter of going to the palace early the next morning to meet the saint.
As a bride, Meng Yuan's clothes when she entered the palace were also grander, and she had more status than when she was a girl.
When she came with Zhao Chen, she didn't have to walk anymore, this was the privileged class, and she couldn't help but sigh when she saw it.
"In the past, when I came, I had to walk in the scorching sun, but now I don't have to." Meng Yuan couldn't help but say.
Zhao Chen smiled, his fingers caressed her delicate cheeks, and said gently, "You don't have to walk anywhere in the future." β
"Then I will go down to the main hall later, won't I have to walk the same?" Meng Yuan squinted at him.
Zhao Chen touched her nose again: "No need, if the lady needs it, she will carry you in for her husband." β
He called her a lady, not a concubine. He claims to be a husband, not a king.
Speaking of which, it seems that when he faced her, he never used a self-title such as this king.
Giving up on him like this, she was really blind in her last life.
"In your words againβwhat kind of system?" Meng Yuan learned from his strict appearance.
Zhao Chen smiled very openly, his handsome eyes were crooked like crescent moons, he was also dressed in court clothes today, and his black hair was all crowned on the top of his hair, such a neat and neat dress, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most beautiful man in the world.
The newlyweds arrived outside the Jiaofang Hall while talking, and the emperor and the queen were waiting for them to come and greet them.
When he entered the palace, he heard the emperor's voice, he seemed to be discussing something with the queen, and when they approached, he didn't say anything, and Meng Yuan didn't hear it clearly.
However, Zhao Chen's martial arts are there, and she can't hear it, it doesn't mean that he can't hear it.
From the moment he came in, his eyes were different, a little complicated, as if expected, with a little nostalgia and a little rejection.
On this occasion, Meng Yuan didn't want to ask anything, so he just went in with him, saluted peacefully, and did what a bride should do, well-behaved and pleasing.
The more Empress Chen looked at her, the more happy she felt, holding her hand and talking considerately, what should be done to take care of your body, give birth to a son to Zhao Chen as soon as possible, what to eat too much and be too thin, it is not easy to give birth to her, in short, it is not a matter of half a sentence.
Meng Yuan was mentioned again about the sad matter, the smile on his face was a little reluctant, Zhao Chen saw it in his eyes, sighed in his heart, and said: "Queen Mother, don't worry about this matter, the second brother's child has not been born yet." β
At the mention of this, Empress Chen's expression became subtle, and the emperor observed Zhao Chen, and found that his expression did not look fake, and he really didn't know about the Xianwang Mansion, so he said: "Last night, a letter was uploaded from your second brother's mansion, and Concubine Meng's child is gone." β
Zhao Chen looked surprised and said, "What? β
Not only him, but also Meng Yuan, she was surprised: "How can this be? β
Empress Chen and the emperor looked at each other, feeling that the couple really didn't know, but they didn't know, one of them really didn't know anything, but the other was just ...... The acting is too good.
"In the first three months, the fetus was unstable, and Concubine Meng was depressed again, and the imperial doctor said that she had had fetal gas a few times before, and this time she was too worried, so she lost her child." Empress Chen explained slowly.
Meng Yuan didn't know what expression to make, this big sister is really, on the day she got married, she was too worried, I don't know if I don't want her to be good, the emperor and the queen are probably very clear.
Zhao Chen knew best, he exchanged glances with the emperor, and then the emperor asked the queen to talk to Meng Yuan, and he and Zhao Chen went to the side hall to say something else.
Meng Yuan thought that she must be talking about what the emperor and the queen discussed when they came in, she was very curious about what it was, but she also knew that her identity should not be presumptuous about political affairs, so she suppressed her curiosity.
"Concubine Meng is also too careless, this child is not easy to get, and it is so gone, the second child is probably also very sad." The queen was still thinking about Meng Rou.
Meng Yuan echoed: "His Royal Highness King Xian must also be very sad, my sister must not feel good if she has no children, but they are still young, and there will be children." β
Empress Chen seemed to have thought of something, her eyes were a little distant, and she said meaningfully: "Yes, they will still have children, everyone will, as long as there is time." β
Meng Yuan felt that the topic didn't seem to be right, there was a saying, the more nothing, the more she was worried about something, Queen Chen had been talking about children from beginning to end, but she entered the palace at the age of fifteen, not counting the years she was a concubine, she only ascended the throne for three years, but she still has no children, is it difficult for her, she ......
Still thinking about it, Zhao Chen and the emperor came out, the emperor seemed to be very happy, and when he left, he repeatedly told Zhao Chen not to disappoint him, Meng Yuan became more and more curious about what they said.
However, she wasn't curious for long, because the decree came down two days after she returned home.
The crown prince of the eldest prince was abolished, and the emperor renamed the third prince Zhao Chen as the crown prince, and the prince immediately entered the East Palace.
All of a sudden, Meng Yuan changed from Princess Duan to the crown princess, and the former prince Zhao Xuan, because he had tried to murder Zhao Chen in the war, was confined in the Great Prince's Mansion, and he was not allowed to leave the palace for half a step without a will.
In the Xianwang Mansion, Zhao Yin sat on the chair, Zhou Jing sat beside him, and Meng Rou stood on one side, and the atmosphere was quite depressing.
After a while, Zhao Yin sneered, looked at Meng Rou, and said slowly: "It's really the same person's fate, the concubine was married for only two days, and she became the crown princess, and the concubine has been married for so long, and she is still just a side concubine. β
Zhou Jing smiled and said: "Lord Wang, don't be too embarrassed by Concubine Meng, Concubine Meng has just lost her child, and she is feeling uncomfortable." β
Speaking of the child, Zhao Yin was very displeased, he said with a cold face: "I know that my body is not good, so I pay more attention, and now I have lost my wife and broken my soldiers, I am really a good daughter taught by the prime minister." β
Meng Rou's face was pale, and although she had been blamed for so long, she still walked up to Zhao Yin unhurriedly and bowed to Yingying, and said gently: "Lord Wang, the concubine has something to say to the prince alone, I believe the prince will be very happy to hear it." β
Zhao Yin narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips, "Oh? With a sigh, he waved his hand at Zhou Jing, although Zhou Jing was unwilling, he still left.
"If you want to say something, you can say it." Zhao Yin folded his legs and said casually.
Meng Rou said softly: "Lord, the concubine has been the prince's person since the day she married the prince, and it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's mansion. For some things, the concubine is also willing to sue the prince. After a pause, her voice became softer and softer, "Actually, many people don't know one thing......
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yin said impatiently, "Don't sell Guanzi, this king doesn't have so much patience for you." β
Meng Rou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The concubine's sister Meng Yuan, she can't have children. β
Zhao Yin frowned: "Is this true?" β
Meng Rou smiled: "It's true, how can the things that the concubine and her aunt do together be fake?" β
Zhao Yin's expression was unpredictable, and his perception of Meng Rou had also changed, he looked at her for a while before he said meaningfully: "This king really didn't expect that Concubine Ai still has such skills." β
Is this called Aifei? Meng Rou sneered in her heart.
"Let the prince smile. The concubine thought that this was very helpful to the prince. Now that the third prince has become the crown prince, it is naturally impossible to have a crown princess who cannot have children. Even if the emperor and the queen leave this crown princess because of the prime minister, they will definitely fill the East Palace for the crown prince. Where there are many women, there will be more things, and the relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess will definitely become weaker and weaker, and by that time, ......"
Meng Rou smiled very gently, "The opportunity of the prince has come." β
Zhao Yin couldn't help but be a little surprised, Meng Rou actually thought of it with Dr. Zhou and asked him to start with Meng Yuan.
Now, the reinstatement of the crown prince is a very slim thing, the leg disease of the fourth prince is destined to miss the throne, the fifth prince is his person, if Zhao Chen has another problem, the crown prince must be in his pocket.
"Concubine Ai pushed this king to your sister ......" Zhao Yin dragged out her tone, "Aren't you afraid that this king will really fall in love with your sister, but bury your future for her?" β
Meng Rou smiled slightly: "The prince won't." β
"Are you so sure?"
"Well, because the prince and the concubine are the same kind of people."
However, Meng Rou can calculate the present, but she can't calculate the future.
She thought that Zhao Yin was just a man with a desire for profit, and he could give up anything for the throne.
She forgot about it, after all, he and Zhao Chen are brothers, and there will always be similarities between the two of them, but there is no one to open those places yet, and she is not capable.
Still, at least she's right now.
General Ning formed a bond with Zhao Chen because of his daughter's affairs, and the originally good relationship was stiffened, but he got closer to King Xian.
There is also Su Jichen, because his table is prominent, he was appreciated by the emperor, and he was promoted from the editor of the Zhengqipin Hanlin Academy to the Zhenglipin attendant. Although his ability is also good, the outside world prefers to think that he relies on women to ascend to the throne, all because of the emperor's favor for the ninth princess.
Although they were good with him on the surface, they looked down on him behind the scenes, and Su Jichen knew it in his heart and didn't care.
Today, he is going to a banquet, to a banquet in the mansion of King Xian. The people who participated in this banquet, except for Dr. Zhou, who had always supported the second prince, were General Ning and others. He also went, in a sense, to make his position clear.
The ninth princess was in the East Palace at the moment, chatting with her new sister-in-law.
When I heard the news that the slave and maid had come to report that the concubine was going to enjoy a banquet in the Xianwang Mansion in the evening and would return to the house later, his face was not very good.
