Chapter 111: Zheng Li's return to favor? (Part 2, Chapter 65)

The more she thought about it, the more scared she felt, over the years, she had been managing the harem, and it was also calm and quiet, and nothing went wrong. I also try my best to cultivate peace and security, although their talent is not very high, but the schoolwork they have learned is still very good.

It is slightly worse than the eldest prince, but they are still young, why does Pei Shengyuan have such high requirements?

After Pei Shengyuan got up, the first thing he did was to ask Xu Lang to arrange secret guards to re-monitor Fengyi Palace and Luoyang Yang Mansion.

What Yang Mubai can't figure out, then her father can definitely think of. So, she wrote a letter to Father Yang, telling him about the establishment of the crown prince and Pei Shengyuan's attitude towards this matter, which made her unable to understand it.

She didn't expect that this move just happened to be discovered by the secret guard and reported to Pei Shengyuan. The content of the letter was also known to Pei Shengyuan.

Pei Shengyuan was extremely angry, thinking of this series of incidents, it seems that it was directed by the former Yang Xiangguo, who deliberately spread the reputation of Yang Mubai and An An very well, and forced him to make An An the crown prince.

When An An became an adult, rumors spread to force him to abdicate, and he could control the government. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiangguo resigned for many years, and he could still control the affairs of the DPRK and China, so he had to guard against it.

When Yang's father received Yang Mubai's letter, he was also very puzzled. This is the first time Yang Mubai mentioned state affairs in the letter, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, she is like this, if Pei Shengyuan knows, then it will be okay.

He hurriedly replied and told Yang Mubai that the establishment of the crown prince was a state affair and could not be interfered with. As long as she teaches An An well, whoever is appointed as the crown prince is the result of the discussion between the emperor and the ministers. It is important to stabilize the society and the country.

Father Yang knew that someone in the previous dynasty must have challenged Yang Mubai and the prince, but he had not been involved in court politics for many years, so he was really powerless, so he had to ask his former students about the situation. He repaired books to the Ministry of Rites (this was his most proud student, and his most trusted student. He resigned for many years, and in order to reassure Pei Shengyuan, he had no intention of being involved in court affairs, so he rarely contacted other students. ）

In the letter, Yang's father briefly described the relationship between master and apprentice, and asked him how he was doing recently, if he had time, he could go to Luoyang to talk about it, and there were some things that he couldn't mention in the letter, which would make people grab the handle, and he had to call people over to ask him clearly. His identity is sensitive, and at this time, he can't go to the capital.

Pei Shengyuan saw Yang's father replying to the letter, but he only thought that he was guiding behind his back, ostensibly stating that he would not interfere in court politics, but in fact he forced him to make a prince behind his back, which was too old-fashioned and calculated.

Yang Mubai received the reply, and she relaxed, it seems that she is thinking too much, her father is right, the prince with outstanding ability is indeed beneficial to the country, it seems that she was too confident before. always thought that Pei Shengyuan would definitely make An An the crown prince, so that she forgot to think about the previous dynasty. It's just that when I think that An An is not the prince, what will his future be? Be a prince, will the new monarch be jealous of his identity, and it will cause disaster at that time.

She has Shang Fang's sword and the gold medal for avoiding death, whether this is a good thing, or will it bring death to An An.

As a mother, now she has to think of a way out for An An. If he can't be the crown prince, then he definitely can't stay in the capital, choose a fiefdom, and be a free prince, this is the best way out. I also got a place that was not rich, and I had to stay away from the capital, and I couldn't be a threat to the new king.

Thinking of this, her head was big. Then take the territory of the imperial capital and find a suitable place for An An to stand on it in the future.

When Pei Sheng came from afar, he saw that she was studying the territory of the imperial capital, and he was even more angry, could it be that Father Yang gave her any new instructions? They all began to look at the territory of the imperial capital.

He asked Yang Mubai: "How does Mu Mu look at the territory of the imperial capital?" Do you want to play somewhere? ”

Yang Mubai was anxious, thinking: Play, play, play, do I know how to play? If you play Little Life again, you're going to be done with it.

She said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I was thinking, yesterday you said about the establishment of the crown prince, I thought, when the new monarch ascends the throne, we will be fine, and we will go to the mountains and rivers." We said yes in the city-state of Iou. I still want to go there. In addition, I want to go to other kingdoms to see how they differ from the emperor. ”

Pei Shengyuan asked: "What does Mu Mu think, Li'an is the prince?" ”

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it was the concubine who was rude yesterday, the concubine should not interfere in state affairs, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." The establishment of the crown prince is a major matter of the country, and the emperor of the city has decided after consulting with the ministers, and I will not put forward any more opinions. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "This is the private and intimate words between our husband and wife, it's okay, you can say it!" I want to hear it. ”

Yang Mubai said: "The emperor is right, I have also mentioned to the emperor before that the selection of the prince should be based on the sage, if the qualifications of other princes are more suitable than An An to be the prince, then other princes will be appointed, I have no opinion." ”

Pei Shengyuan thought to himself, you really listen to your father's words. These are all things that he said in his letters, and he used them to perfunctory me.

He didn't have anything on his face, and said lightly: "Mu Mu has such a mind, which really makes me admire." If An An can't be the crown prince, then how should he arrange it? ”

Yang Mubai said: "Wouldn't it be good to let him be an idle prince?" Since he has no ability to govern the country, he should be able to promote the virtuous and empower the country. ”

Pei Shengyuan didn't expect that she would retreat as advance. Now that he and Yang Mubai have reached the point of playing Infernal Affairs?

After a while, he asked, "Mu Mu, I have snubbed you recently, can you blame me?" ”

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, I am the queen, how can I be dissatisfied with this matter." You just have to keep yourself busy, and come and see me when you have time. ”

Pei Shengyuan really didn't want to go on like this, and asked, "Then Mu Mu has missed me these days?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Of course I want to, but you are the Son of Heaven, and you should put national affairs first." I miss you, and I can't bother you. ”

Pei Shengyuan asked again: "Mu Mu is the most popular with me, so what else does Mu Mu have to say to me?" ”

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "Besides I miss you, what else does the emperor want to hear?" Their relationship has cooled down a lot during this time, and she wants to try to repair their relationship. In the past, Pei Shengyuan always demanded too much from her, but now after so many days, he doesn't mean anything about it. She wanted to try to see if she was really bored with him.

Pei Shengyuan scratched her nose and said, "Mu Mu's words, I love to hear them the most." There's still a lot to be done tonight, so I'll get busy first, and I'll come back to see you in a few days. ”

After speaking, Pei Shengyuan left.

Yang Mubai stood there stupidly, for a long, long time. He Shengnan thought she was asleep, and when he got up at night, he found that Yang Mubai was still sitting in the yard. It was getting cooler, and the wind was cold at night.

He Shengnan pushed her into the dormitory distressedly and asked, "Queen Mother, what happened?" How can a person sit in the yard? ”

Seeing that Pei Sheng was far away, it was mostly related to him.

Yang Mubai said: "It's nothing, I'm a little cold, help me prepare some ginger tea!" After drinking ginger tea, Yang Mubai couldn't sleep for a long time, and his relationship with Pei Shengyuan was coming to an end. Thinking of this, her heart was cold.

Could it be because Pei Shengyuan doesn't love her anymore, so he doesn't want to make An An the prince. In the past, he often chanted in front of her that he wanted to make An An the crown prince, and he had been saying this since he was born. Now, he suddenly said that An An's qualifications were not outstanding enough, and he had the intention of changing the crown prince.

After receiving Yang Xiangguo's letter, Wen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was pleasantly surprised and asked Pei Shengyuan for leave, saying that he would return to his ancestral house to repair the ancestral tomb. Pei Sheng saw that he had been particularly keen on making a prince recently, so he allowed him to leave.

He went straight to Luoyang Yang Mansion. Father Yang hadn't seen him for many years, and he was very relieved to think that his proud protégé rushed over when he saw his letter.

Father Yang asked, "I heard that you are already the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, which is really gratifying." ”

The Ministry of Rites said, "Students are taught by their teachers, otherwise they would not be able to achieve what they are today. This is a little bit of heart that students bring to the teacher, so please be sure to accept it. After speaking, he took out two brocade boxes, one containing a ceramic peach and the other a ceramic plum. It means that the peach and plum are all over the world.

Wen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites said: "Teacher, this is a little bit of the student's custom, which means that the world is full of peaches and plums, a little thin courtesy, please don't dislike it." ”

Father Yang was very pleased, and said: "That old decay is better to obey his fate than respectfully, and then let his subordinates put it away." ”

After a set of greetings, Father Yang asked, "You are my most proud and trusted student." I want to ask you, what has happened to the DPRK and China recently? ”

Wen Shangshu said: "Teacher, the wind has been calm recently, and there are occasionally some miscellaneous matters, which can be regarded as peaceful in the world, and there are no major events. ”

Father Yang asked, "Is there any rumor about the establishment of a prince in the court?" I know that this matter is abrupt, and I am a little worried about the queen's mother, and I ask Wen Shangshu to forgive me. ”

Wen Shangshu said: "Now there is a proposal to establish a prince in the court, but it was vetoed by the emperor, and now the prince is still young, and the emperor is in the prime of life, so it is not appropriate to establish a prince too early." If it really comes to the day when the crown prince is established, I will stand on the side of the queen mother. ”

Father Yang hurriedly said: "Wen Shangshu, you misunderstood, I didn't mean to win you over. The establishment of the crown prince is related to state affairs, and you can't stand in line in a hurry, you need to choose a suitable prince, not a prince. It is also necessary to give priority to state affairs and select talents for governing the country. ”

Wen Shangshu said: "The teacher is really high-minded, and the student wears a sword. Last time I proposed, the student also strongly recommended the prince, although his qualifications are not as good as the eldest prince, but he is still young, and if he has a few more years of experience, he will become a great weapon. ”

Father Yang said: "In this case, then thank you Wen Shangshu." ”

After chatting some more polite words, Wen Shangshu left Yang's Mansion and returned to Beijing.

Pei Shengyuan's secret guard received Wen Shangshu to see Father Yang, and he was even more sure in his heart that Father Yang was behind the scenes.

Over the years, I thought he was at peace and withdrew all the secret guards, and I don't know how long this old fox has been planning.

No wonder those rumors in the market are endless, no wonder the ministers strongly recommend An An as the crown prince.

It seems that Yang Xiangguo's old fox is really a thief, after establishing the crown prince, he is hollowing out his rights, and he is re-controlling the government behind his back, he wants to be very beautiful. is this matter, whether Yang Mubai knows it or not. Or is she also involved in one of them.

Looking at Yang Mubai like that, he didn't want to get involved. But thinking that she faked her death back then, and she pretended to be sick for half a year, wasn't he also deceived? The last time she tried to talk about the establishment of the prince, she swore that after receiving the letter from Father Yang, she said that anyone can be established, and the sage lives in it.

It seems that he has been deceived by their father and daughter again.

Yang Mubai, you are really good. Relying on my favor for you, you deceive me like this. Do you really think that I, Pei Sheng, am far from you? You are unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust.

That night, Pei Shengyuan did not go to Fengyi Palace, he went to Zheng Li's bedroom.

Zheng Li was flattered and bewildered. Pei Shengyuan asked, "Zheng Li, we didn't seem to be like this before. ”

Zheng Li said: "The concubine thinks that the emperor has forgotten everything. After speaking, he looked very aggrieved.

Pei Shengyuan asked: "The eldest prince has been gone for more than a year, and you are alone in this harem, can you still adapt?" ”

Zheng Li said: "The concubines have long been used to it, eating alone, sleeping alone, and waiting lonely. ”

Pei Shengyuan asked, "Do you also want to be the eldest prince?" ”

Zheng Li shook her head and said, "He will eventually start a family, and I am very pleased to see him grow up day by day." The concubine is waiting for a person who has no return date, an irretrievable heart. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Over the years, I have snubbed you. ”

Zheng Li's eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Your Majesty, have I finally waited for you?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "You and Mu Mu are both my women, and I used to favor her too much. ”

Zheng Li said: "It doesn't matter, people like her, I know that I can't compare." ”

Pei Sheng was far away for a while and said, "I'll sleep with you tonight!" ”

Zheng Li thought she had misheard, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you sleeping here tonight?" ”

Pei Shengyuan smiled and asked, "What, aren't you welcome?" ”

Zheng Li said excitedly: "Welcome, I just didn't expect that you would stay here, I'm so happy." ”

Pei Shengyuan thought of his neglect of these concubines over the years, and gave all his love to Yang Mubai, but she betrayed him. What an irony!

Yang Mubai, you overestimate yourself too much. My love for you, in fact, can also be given to others. He looked at Zheng Li, wanting to make up for the debt he owed them over the years. Zheng Li obediently snuggled in his arms and said happily: "Your Majesty, thank you, let me finally wait for you." ”

Pei Shengyuan asked, "After so many years, don't you hate me?" ”

Zheng Li said aggrievedly: "In addition to loving you in my heart, how can I hate you." I just hate myself for not being good enough to get the slightest bit of pity from you. Your Majesty, I will always be here for you, no matter whether you will look back at me or not. ”

Pei Shengyuan was satisfied, he had been waiting for Yang Mubai like this, and gave her all his enthusiasm. But Zheng Li and the others are also waiting for themselves so stupidly, and he will try his best to respond to them in the future. Take back all his love for Yang Mubai.

He lost count of the days he hadn't had sex with a woman, but now, he found that he had no desire. I don't think I'm used to it, so it's good to get used to it. He held Zheng Li's face and kissed her on the lips.

I don't feel why this is happening, he is a normal man. Zheng Li is more beautiful than Yang Mubai, why kiss Zheng Li, there is no feeling of heartbeat.

He felt bored and didn't want to continue. This woman, why can't she arouse his desire a little.

He hugged her, wanting to get back the passion he had in Yang Mubai, but after a long time, he still didn't have the slightest impulse.

Zheng Li asked, "Your Majesty, am I old and decrepit?" ”

Pei Shengyuan let go of her and said, "It's because I'm too tired these days, let's sleep!" With that, he got up to leave.

Zheng Li pulled his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, let's sleep here tonight!" It's okay for us to talk. ”

Pei Shengyuan thought of Yang Mubai's appearance, since she could betray him, he also had to make her feel bad. So, I slept directly in Zheng Li's bedroom.

He didn't hug Zheng Li, they chatted for a while, mostly about the eldest prince. I fell asleep at once.

Zheng Li looked at Pei Shengyuan, and said with a smile in her heart: You are finally willing to turn back, Yang Mubai, you lost.

Hearing that Pei Shengyuan went to sleep in Zheng Li's Palace, Yang Mubai didn't believe it at first. She ran to Zheng Li's bedroom to confirm. She ignored that tonight, there was only one palace maid and a eunuch in Zheng Li's palace, who only saluted her and did not stop her.

She walked directly to Zheng Li's bedroom and saw Pei Shengyuan and Zheng Li talking and laughing.

She also saw Pei Shengyuan kissing Zheng Li, and then hugging Zheng Li.

She stood stiff for a while, she really couldn't stand it, she could imagine that Pei Shengyuan took back all his love and gave it to other women.

Her tears were in her eyes, and she couldn't take them back, so she ran back to her bedroom.

He Shengnan was frightened when he saw her like this, and while wiping her tears, he asked, "Queen Mother, where did you go just now, why are you crying?" ”

Yang Mubai choked up and said, "I'm fine, I want to be alone, you go to sleep!" ”

Where can He Shengnan put her alone, and said, "I'm not tired, I'll accompany you." Go to sleep, I don't want to talk about it now, it's not too late to say it tomorrow. ”

In fact, needless to say, He Shengyuan can also know that it is none other than Pei Shengyuan, otherwise who can make her so sad.

Yang Mubai asked He Shengnan to lead him back to the dormitory, and then lay down indifferently. He Shengnan covered her with a quilt and said, "Queen Mother, sleep!" Wake up and everything will be fine. ”

Where can Yang Mubai fall asleep, she had thought about all the things that Pei Shengyuan fell in love with other women, and now she has fulfilled all of them. It was as if her heart had been emptied, and she couldn't breathe. Her tears never stopped, and after a while, they became choked on and off.

He Shengnan said: "Queen Mother, you are still safe, even if you lose the emperor, you have to think about them!" ”

Yang Mubai calmed down a little, yes! She's still safe, she can't go on like this. But is it okay to make her sad for a while? She just wanted to pay one last tribute to her love.

Yang Mubai said: "Shengnan, you let me cry all night, okay?" I've lost him, just grieve me once, and tomorrow will be fine. ”

He Shengnan walked out. It's time for her to think clearly, Yang Mubai is very strong, she won't be unable to think about it.

Yang Mubai never fell asleep, she thought of the past, those days were so clear and so sweet. It's a pity that she can't catch it every time.

In the second half of the night, she was so tired that she slept for a while. Unexpectedly, she dreamed of the Dark Sect again, dreamed of the waning moon, and every time she was extremely unhappy, she would dream of the Dark Sect. The nightmare that haunted her mind was tearing at her, and those bloody memories haunted her and could never be erased.

She was trapped by the dream again, and she was in a cold sweat when she fitted, and Pei Sheng was far away in the past, and he would gently wake her up and comfort her. Tonight, she was the only one who resisted it all. He Shengnan was not at ease, so he came to see her again, found that she had a nightmare again, and hurriedly woke her up.

When she woke up, she thought that Pei Shengyuan had come over and was very happy, but when she saw that it was He Shengnan, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

He Shengnan wiped the cold sweat on her face and asked, "Queen Mother, do you still want to sleep?" ”

Yang Mubai shook his head.

He Shengnan asked again: "Then do you want to tell me what happened?" ”

Yang Mubai will calm down, she is the queen, what else can she do, she can only pretend not to care and say: "It's nothing, I just saw the emperor in Concubine Zheng's bedroom, I was afraid that the scene I saw would be too rude, so I ran back." I didn't expect to kick a stone in my heel, and my foot hurt a lot, so I cried. ”

He Shengnan said: "Haven't you thought about these things many times? Why torture yourself like this. ”

Yang Mubai said: "I didn't torture myself, I really kicked a small stone and cried when my feet hurt." If you don't believe it...... "After speaking, he will take off his feet and show He Shengnan.

He Shengnan hurriedly stopped: "Okay, I know." Let's have some tea! Let's sit and talk, okay? ”

Yang Mubai said approvingly: "Okay! It's a long night, and I can't sleep, so it's just right to chat. ”

He Shengnan said: "Queen Mother, do you regret returning to the palace?" ”

Yang Mubai shook his head and said: "Women in the world are like this, getting married, having children, and teaching each other husband and children. I had at least a time of love with him, and now that I have passed the age of no doubt, it is really ridiculous to be entangled in love and love. I'm the queen of the imperial capital, but I can't be like a newly married woman. ”

He Shengnan asked, "You have figured it out?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Well, I figured it out. I've thought about it many times before, and this time it's coming, and it's not unprepared. A few days ago, I also had a hunch, so I was prepared for everything, and it was much easier to accept it. ”

He Shengnan asked again: "Then ...... in the future?"

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "In the future, I have to live peacefully for peace." They grew up healthy, and when I was old, my life was complete. ”

After saying that, she seemed to think of something, and said, "Bring the mirror." ”

He Shengnan brought the mirror, she looked at it for a while, and said, "My eyes are swollen, you can help me reduce the swelling." ”

He Shengnan brought cold water and gave her a cold compress with a handkerchief. It was almost dawn, and the swelling on her face and eyes had disappeared. Only then did I go to wash up satisfied, and then go to see Ping'an'an. After breakfast with them, send them to study.

Nothing has changed, Yang Mubai is still the original Yang Mubai.

Pei Shengyuan didn't sleep well, he couldn't sleep last night, he got up before dawn to prepare for the morning court, and his eyes were a little swollen.

Today, it is rare that these ministers have not mentioned the matter of appointing the crown prince again. After the next dynasty, he came to Fengyi Palace to see what Yang Mubai was doing?

Did she know that she was there with Zheng Li last night? Did she sleep well last night? Thinking of this, he hated himself for being unproductive, Yang Mubai betrayed him, and he still wanted her to sleep well! It's best to let her know that she went to Zheng Li to see if she would be sad.

Yang Mubai saw Pei Shengyuan, it was very strange, he hadn't come to Fengyi Palace for a long time. I just went to Zheng Li's dormitory last night, why are you coming to Fengyi Palace now? Specially came to tell her, did he pamper Zheng Li last night?
