Chapter 183: Only the Dark Fragrance Comes

The midwife did have an inexplicable relationship with the queen, but the queen has always denied it, and at that time, the emperor had just ascended the throne and needed the queen's mother's family to help him stabilize the government, so the matter was finally settled, and only said that Concubine Jing died in childbirth.

As for Jing Qicheng, he was sent to Concubine Xian's knees to raise, and Concubine Xian was also dedicated to Jing Qicheng and has always loved her.

"I think your mother must be a very beautiful woman."

"I think so too."

Meng combed his eyebrows and looked at the scar on Jing Qicheng's face and felt a little distressed, and the prince really went down.

"Actually, if the prince didn't kill me, I can be regarded as merciful."

Jing Qicheng smiled bitterly, when he was a child, he was not like now, it is difficult for a child who has lost his mother to survive in the harem, after all, the emperor has all opportunities, even if he loves Jing Qicheng, there is always something he can't take care of.

After the crown prince added this scar to his face, the emperor also severely punished the prince, but the East Palace was a concubine, and the emperor could not let this kind of fratricidal royal scandal out.

"In the end, it's all about face."

The royal status can sometimes bring convenience, but more often than not, it is like an invisible shackle.

Even the Son of Heaven can't do what he wants.

"Jing Qicheng, if you really become an emperor, then what should I do?"

Meng comb's voice was very soft, like a snowflake falling on the ground, and she didn't know if Jing Qicheng heard her question, she just closed her eyes and fell asleep.

It was warm before the snow, cold after the snow, and when the door was opened in the morning, there were ice ridges three or four inches long hanging under the eaves.

After Chun Xing came in with hot water, she couldn't wait to close the door of the house.

"Miss, you don't know, I heard that the moat outside the city is frozen, and there is a lot of ice, and many people go to dig ice and fish."

It's so cold, it is estimated that many poor families will have a hard time.

"Chunxing, go pick up the old clothes in the house, and let the people who need them take them back, remember, one person is only allowed to take one."

Cotton is a rare thing, and it is impossible for ordinary people to burn charcoal for heating like in the palace, and when it comes to the day when the water turns into ice, I don't know how many poor families will freeze to death.

Those old clothes are also put away, and the cotton inside is turned out and dried to be the same as new, so as to keep warm.

"Miss, you have such a good heart."

Although Meng combs her eyebrows and manages things after she is a little stricter with her subordinates than before, she has clear rewards and punishments, as long as she can honestly do the things at hand, she can get a reward, so the subordinates feel more and more that doing things in the palace is much better than in other families.

Thinking that the New Year was sad, Meng combs his eyebrows and instructed Chunxing to take some red envelopes to reward people.

When the money is in place, others can do their best to help themselves, and Meng still understands this truth.

Jing Qicheng entered the palace early in the morning to congratulate the emperor, and according to the rules, Meng should also kowtow to Concubine Xian.

She had already asked Chun Xing to prepare a congratulatory gift for Concubine Xian, and after sending someone to prepare the carriage, she was ready to enter the palace.

Although it was cold today, I finally saw the sunshine, and Meng combed his eyebrows and held the stove tightly around the big cuff on his body.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace had already cleaned the ice from the ground, so as not to blame any nobleman for stumbling.

The crown prince looked hurried, and when he saw that the direction he came from should be Fengxi Palace.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Excuse me."

The prince's complexion is not very good, too, the New Year should have been happy, but the East Palace has not been peaceful, which makes him exhausted, Wang Qifu can't get out of bed now, Mu Qingyan offended Long Yan and was locked up in the prince's mansion, and the prince could only enter the palace alone.

Fengxi Palace was deserted, there was no popularity at all, and the queen was also faint when she saw the prince.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor stayed in the Golden Hazel Pavilion instead of the Phoenix Palace, obviously not even wanting to make a show for the empress.

Just in front of the queen, the crown prince asked the queen to plan for herself even if it wasn't for him, and find a way to fight, but the queen just smiled faintly and said that everything would just go naturally.

The crown prince didn't understand, they had obviously not reached the point of exhaustion, why did the queen give up now?

Seeing Meng combing his eyebrows at this moment, the prince was naturally upset, and said in a strange manner: "My brother and sister are really in good spirits on happy occasions and look radiant." ”

"It's all the blessings of my father and His Royal Highness."

Meng combed his eyebrows and smiled, but he couldn't hear the prince's ridicule.

"King Chen is really blessed to have you by his side, and it really makes me envious."

"The prince is serious, where can the concubines compare to the crown princess and Concubine Mu, by the way, my sister's legs are better?"

Meng combed his eyebrows and covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, isn't it, he can push the main room down the steps, and this kind of thing can only be done by the people around the prince.

Mu Qingyan's temperament is inherently easy to be spoiled, if the prince is smart enough, he shouldn't be too fond of her, but the prince really wants to win over the Mu family so much that Wang Qifu broke her leg.

Thinking about it, although the matter has been decided, the Wang family may not give up so easily.

"The concubine is going to say goodbye to Concubine Xian, so I will leave first."

Meng combed his eyebrows and saluted the prince without being humble or arrogant, and the prince should first straighten out the mess in his own house.

Looking at Meng Comb's back, the prince deeply felt that Meng Combrow was already Jing Qicheng's right-hand man, and if he wanted to deal with Jing Qicheng, he should start with this woman.

Relying on her ability to observe words and colors, Meng Comb Mei can be regarded as a source in the palace, and the ladies and ladies in the palace, no matter whether they are favored or not, as long as they have a position, she has sent gifts one by one.

Concubine Xian praised her for being careful and steady, much more stable than ordinary young women.

Looking at Concubine Xian's radiant appearance, she knew that she must have gotten along well with the emperor recently, so Meng Combrow also followed her meaning and said that she was still young, and there was always something inconsiderate about doing things, she just did it according to Concubine Xian's appearance.

"You kid, you're changing the law to make me happy."

The palace maid sent the plum blossoms over, saying that the servants of the flower room sent them, it seems that they are all budding, as long as you put some water in the vase, after the opening will be full of fragrance.

Meng combs his eyebrows and moves in his heart, pointing to a sweet white glazed porcelain vase next to him and saying that this vase must be particularly beautiful with the red of plum blossoms, I heard that the emperor is still discussing with the ministers in the imperial study today, if you send a bottle of plum blossoms to the past, the emperor will definitely like it.

"You're really a person with a seven-trick heart."

Concubine Xian beckoned Su Qin to come over, and she personally trimmed the plum blossoms and asked her to send them to the imperial study, and by the way, she was bringing some pastries made of plum blossoms.
