Chapter 100: The Prince's Servant
The crown prince Li Chengqian's wolf ambition, since Li Shimin executed his favorite woman, is satisfied. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After that, he was always dissatisfied with His Majesty Li Er, so he secretly colluded with Du He, Li Yuanchang, Li Anyan and others in order to rebel.
Today, he invited his most trusted servant to come, I am afraid that it was ill-intentioned.
The carriage was a little bumpy, Meng Yu was a little embarrassed to hold on to the seat, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Let the girl smile..."
His eyes were gloomy, staring at the woman in the eunuch costume opposite, and he smiled.
"Meng Gongzi doesn't have to be like this, this carriage is bumpy, I hope you don't blame..."
"Hehe..." Meng Yu nodded and smiled, looking out the window, not knowing what to say for a while.
I have to say that this is the most responsible servant he has ever seen, no wonder Li Chengqian asked her to invite Meng Yu, which shows the prince's trust in her.
Plotting this kind of thing, once His Majesty Li Er knows, then the blame is not something that can be solved by twenty or thirty boards, maybe you have to enter Dali Temple, where you will be locked up for ten days and half a month, and eat, drink, and Lazar with insects, ants, snakes and rats.
But the prince is invited, how dare Meng Yu not go?
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly invited me to go, I'm afraid I can't give His Highness the answer he wants, and I can't have the talent that His Highness thinks." Meng Yu chuckled lightly, looking at the servant indifferently, with some banter in his eyes.
He knew very well that Li Chengqian called him over to entrap him and let him say what His Majesty Li Er said to him that day in the Daming Palace.
If the crown prince Li Chengqian wants to seize the throne, he must defeat Li Tai, the king of Wei, otherwise his dream of the throne may not succeed.
This time, His Majesty Li Er pretended to be critically ill, and Li Chengqian also temporarily put aside the idea of rebellion, in order to inherit the throne logically, and there will not be too many irreversible factors at that time.
The servant was silent for a while, his eyelashes moved slightly, and he said: "Even Your Majesty is amazed by Gongzi Meng's talent, and he has mentioned it many times in front of His Highness, His Highness has admired him for a long time, and now he has a chance, so please go over and talk about it." ā
Belch...
This girl is very good at saying, Your Majesty will mention me in front of the prince? This is no joke, I know how many pounds and taels I have, although I like to listen to flattery from me, but it's useless, it's better to have something real.
"You're really good at talking!" Meng Yu smiled bitterly, thinking that the girl in front of her was very interesting, and couldn't help asking: "The girl is unfathomable, I don't know if I can tell you your name?" ā
The girl in front of her can be said to be not very good-looking, her appearance is ordinary, a little thin, but her skin is fair, although she has a pair of big eyes, but there is no trace of charm, and her willow eyebrows are crooked, but she is not seductive.
The delicate between the eyebrows and the decentness of the demeanor made Meng Yu admire, so he took the liberty to ask the girl's name.
"Laugh in vain." The servant returned the salute, smiled decently, and continued: "The little girl's surname is Bai, and her single name is a smile. ā
Meng Yu nodded slightly, a little surprised, but the frown only eased in an instant.
Women have names and no surnames, which is common in the Tang Dynasty, and generally those with names and surnames are all beautiful women, or slaves and maids who have been given surnames by their masters.
is like Fang Yuzhu, she has a name and a surname, it is because Fang Xuanling loves her very much, so she is given a name, otherwise she will only have one surname, just like the Lu family, and her name will not be seen.
So Meng Yu was surprised that a prince had a name and a surname, but he was not surprised when he thought that the prince might be very fond of this girl.
"Bai Xiao, good name, the girl looks so good when she smiles, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wants the girl to smile more!" Meng Yu also followed the whiskers and patted the horse.
He is not to please the crown prince Li Chengqian, but to be more tactful, if he shows his dislike now, I am afraid that he will only have to fall out with the prince at that time, isn't this asking for trouble?
"........." Bai Xiao was silent, and suddenly said: "Gongzi Meng, has the King of Wei looked for you?" ā
"Huh?" Meng Yu turned his head, looked at her, and said with a smile: "No! I don't know what the King of Wei and His Royal Highness are looking for me? It's just a peasant kid in the next place, it's not talented, it's unbearable, if it weren't for His Highness wanting to do business with me? ā
He deliberately pretended to be ignorant, and after a while, he could have another reason to pretend to be stupid in front of the prince.
However, these small movements of his were all seen by Bai Xiao, and Bai Xiao did not do much to dissuade him, and said directly: "If Meng Gongzi has no great talent, why did His Majesty summon you into the palace?" Why are you called alone? At what time did not even His Highness and the others get in, so why can you enter? ā
Hehe...
This girl is not easy to fool, it looks like I have to take it seriously.
"I'm afraid Miss Bai also knows, I'm going to go to Goguryeo next month to lobby, Your Majesty is afraid that I will not do things well, so I will give a few special orders, plus Your Majesty intends to let me be Mr. King of Jin, I also refuse, but Your Majesty insists on letting me be ordered, and I am helpless..."
Meng Yu paused suddenly, his throat was a little dry, and he continued slowly: "I have been talking with Your Majesty for more than an hour, which means that I have to do this, that night because I refused to be Mr. King Jin, I was kicked a few times by Your Majesty, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may also see the shoe prints on my face..."
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just wants to know the conversation I had with His Majesty in the Daming Palace that day, then there is no need for this, even if His Highness knows about the conversation with His Majesty, it is useless!"
"That's what Meng Gongzi said!" Bai Xiao's face was cold, and he said: "Your Highness just wants to make friends with you, and has no other intentions, but Meng Gongzi really speaks without any restraint, so aren't you afraid that Your Highness or Your Majesty will blame you?" ā
Blame?
Even if Li Chengqian eats the bear's heart and leopard gall now, he doesn't dare to do anything to me, His Majesty is now pushing me on the edge of the knife, for me, it is both dangerous and safe, Li Chengqian doesn't dare to touch me, at most he will send someone to assassinate me, but he won't do this.
After all, I still have value.
"That's what you say, please don't blame the white girl..."Meng Yu smiled slightly, touched his nose, and asked: "Your Highness trusts the white girl so much, it's really surprising that your Highness can trust you so much, since you are a good girl, Your Highness can still trust you so much, you must not be simple..."
"........." Bai Xiao opened the curtain, looked outside, and suddenly said: "Meng Gongzi, when you arrive, please go down and walk..."
Meng Yu smiled, nodded yes, and followed Bai Xiao out of the carriage, thinking about walking to the East Palace.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
And at this time, the Wei Palace.
"Your Highness, Meng Ziran was invited by the crown prince to be a guest, we are one step late!" A little servant knelt on the ground and reported what he had seen.
Li Tai smiled, waved his hand to let him go down, stood up, looked at the clear sky outside the door, smiled leisurely, and said: "Brother Huang really can't sit still, this time it depends on you and me, Mencius Ran, I will get it!" ā
He was confident, looked into the distance with a lofty spirit, waved his hand to let the guards waiting on the side come over, and ordered: "Prepare ten thousand taels of gold, as well as twenty beautiful maids, and when Mencius comes out of the East Palace, he will immediately invite him to the palace, and I will feast on him." ā
"Yes!" The guard got the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.
After the guards left, Li Tai smiled coldly and said, "Brother Huang, you know the lame, it's still An'an's share..."
"Otherwise... What else are you going to do..."
