Chapter 37: Delaying the Army

Lin Yueyao has been in the palace for more than three months, Meng Hongyu still has never been fortunate to her, she is often so aggrieved that she cries in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother has hinted at Meng Hongyu many times, Meng Hongyu just can't understand the Queen Mother's words. %&*";

Soon, the Queen Mother was so angry that she was "sick", and the doctor had diagnosed and treated her, and she had taken a lot of medicine, but she was always not good, and Meng Hongyu was very "worried".

On this day, Meng Hongyu went to the Queen Mother to say goodbye as usual, and the Queen Mother was lazy lying on the bed and didn't pay much attention to him: "The emperor doesn't have to come to see the mourning family every day, the mourning family's illness is not going to get better." ”

"Why did the queen mother say this, the imperial doctor said that the queen mother is fine, as long as she relaxes, the disease will naturally be cured." He also had something to say, suggesting that the Queen Mother should not be too "worried".

"You also know that the illness of the mourning family is a heart disease, and you understand the worries in the heart of the mourning family?" The Queen Mother understood his "persuasion" and said angrily, "You think that the mourning family intends to support the Lin family, but the mourning family is wholeheartedly thinking about the royal family!" You are nearly thirty years old, but you only have one son, mourning your family day and night, and you can't sleep and eat, who are you for? ”

The more she spoke, the more angry she became: "What's wrong with Yao'er? She is young, lively, and likes you wholeheartedly, which is much better than Concubine Rong! Do you remember that letter? Concubine Rong said herself, she wants to guard you, step by step, 'Mother Yi world enjoys all the glory and wealth'! ”

Speaking of Su Zirong, Meng Hongyu felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but defend her: "That's not Concubine Rong's intention!" ”

"That's what she intended! Just ask, which woman in the harem doesn't want to be a queen? They all entered the palace to be queens! Instead of letting other women be queens, it is better to let the women of the Lin family be queens, after all, the Lin family is your mother's family, and it is better to have a blood relationship with you, than outsiders! ”

The more the Queen Mother spoke, the more excited she became: "The mourning family knows that you like Xiao Ziling, but don't forget, after Xiao Ziling is a powerful minister, she must not be the queen!" ”

Meng Hongyu felt sad for a while, thinking that he was an emperor, but he was not even as good as a peddler and a pawn! The peddler's pawn can still choose a wife and marry as he likes, but his posterior position is related to the intricate interests and cannot be left to the woman he loves deeply!

"Erchen has sworn to his mother that he will never make Xiao Ziling the queen in his lifetime! ^ "On the same day, when he learned that the Xiao family wanted to deploy the Empress Ziling, Meng Hongyu swore to the Queen Mother in Cining Palace.

"It's good that the emperor remembers!" The Queen Mother's tone softened, and she continued to persuade Meng Hongyu earnestly, "You have to remember, I am your mother, and I always think about you!" When the five sons competed for the throne, the reason why you won the world was that your uncle and they made great contributions. Now that you are the emperor, what's wrong with letting the woman of the Lin family be the queen? ”

Is the Queen Mother telling him to repay his kindness? Why wouldn't he want to? However, if you can give the Lin family high-ranking officials, why do you have to make the Lin family's woman the queen? For the throne, he has already lost too much, and now, he just wants to have the freedom to stand up and leave the throne to the woman he loves, is it that the queen mother doesn't even give this last autonomy?

"The son promised the queen mother, if Yao'er gave birth to a prince for the son, Yao'er would be the queen." Unable to clash head-on with the Queen Mother, Meng Hongyu decided to resort to this "delaying tactic" again.

"Don't think that the mourners don't know your plan to delay the army." Sure enough, it was the mother of Mo Ruo, who knew what Meng Hongyu thought in his heart, and the Queen Mother had already understood, "You have never been to Yao'er so far, how could Yao'er give birth to a prince?!" ”

"Erchen promised his mother that he would let Yao'er sleep tonight." Meng Hongyu finally decided to compromise for the time being.

That night, in the Si'an Courtyard, Lin Yueyao ordered the eunuchs and palace maids to rest early, leaving only Bimei, the personal maid who had been with her since childhood, to wait.

In the afternoon, she learned from the Queen Mother that the emperor was coming to Si'an Courtyard in the evening, and Lin Yueyao was happy for an afternoon. At dusk, the Jingshifang sent three aunts to say that the emperor would summon her to sleep in the evening, and then began to help her bathe and change her clothes.

Lin Yueyao dressed up carefully, and when you (1) began to look forward to it at the gate of Si'an Courtyard, the night gradually darkened, the stars in the sky were shining, and the summer insects were hissing, the joy in Lin Yueyao's heart gradually disappeared, she began to be anxious and impatient, and when it came to Hai (2), Meng Hongyu was still missing, and Lin Yueyao finally despaired.

Just as she turned around and was about to go back to bed, Meng Hongyu came. He followed Lu Yao, Li Zhao carried a lantern beside him, and the three of them walked leisurely.

Lin Yueyao was overjoyed, and she hurriedly greeted her: "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”

Meng Hongyu nodded and motioned for her to be flat, she stood up, walked forward briskly and grabbed his arm, and coquettishly snorted to him: "Yao'er thought that the emperor's cousin was not coming!" The emperor's cousin made Yao'er wait so hard! She smiled at him coquettishly, with an impatient flattery in her eyes.

Looking at her clear eyes, Meng Hongyu couldn't help but feel sorry for her. To be honest, he likes this lively and rude little cousin, and he has always loved her the most. However, when she was his sister, he never thought of marrying her as a concubine and making her his queen, because he knew how many dangers lurked in this magnificent palace, and he also knew that few women in the harem could be happy.

He didn't want Lin Yueyao to step into this high wall, never see the light of day, be lonely every night, and he didn't want her to get involved in the harem battle, and lose her innocence from then on. He hopes that she can fall in love happily, and then, choose a wishful husband, respect each other like a guest, and never leave each other.

However, she was arranged by her parents and the queen mother, and she approached the conspiracy and trickery step by step, and since then she has been stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate herself!

Under the bright candlelight, she sat on the edge of the bed with her head bowed and helpless, her cheeks were as bright as peach blossoms, and her eyes showed a hint of shyness. Meng Hongyu looked at her delicate appearance, closed his eyes helplessly and sighed, and then put down the bed......

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Li Zhao said anxiously outside the door: "Your Majesty, Yongye Palace sent someone to spread the word, saying that Concubine Shuniang suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, and the imperial doctor took a look, saying that it was probably inappropriate to say that it was the fetus in Niangniang's womb." ”

Meng Hongyu got up and was about to leave after putting on his shoes, Lin Yueyao hurriedly grabbed him and begged bitterly: "Don't go, cousin of the emperor!" This must be Concubine Shu's strategy, why doesn't it hurt sooner or later, but it hurts at this time! ”

"I don't go to see it, I always feel uneasy." He ignored her pleas, "Yao'er, you can go to bed first!" ”

Looking at the back of Meng Hongyu leaving in a hurry, Lin Yueyao's eyes were full of hatred - Liu Ruxin, you dare to dig into my corner, wait for me!
