Chapter 466: Long Line (1)
There are no coincidences. The queen's words made Shen Dan's heart sink.
"...... The slave is just a musician, how dare she have any covetous intentions? The slave just knew that the prince liked to listen to the piano very much......"
Meng Xilan's eyes flashed when she heard this: "How did you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes to listen to the piano?" ”
Shen Dan pondered for a moment before saying, "The slave maid heard that Her Royal Highness the princess liked to play the piano very much before she got married, and her piano skills were outstanding. When the princess was not married, both the mother and her royal highness liked to listen to her play the piano, which was a well-known thing up and down the palace music workshop. ”
She doesn't have any expert guidance, it's just that her ears are very smart, and she has heard a lot of rumors in the palace.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is the adopted daughter of the emperor and the queen's mother, and her identity has always been a taboo in the palace.
The Queen loves Her Royal Highness the Princess very much, she treats her as her own, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a better relationship with her.
"Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that the slave maid has the ability to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happy."
Since the princess got married, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been sullen all day long, which is also something that everyone knows.
Once the word is spoken, there is no turning back.
Meng Xilan looked at her steadily, her eyes were shining, revealing an ambitious energy.
She could see it clearly, and such eyes abound in the palace.
"Do you have what it takes to make the prince happy?" Meng Xilan repeated her words, with a smile on her face.
"The slave is willing to give it a try." Shen Dan lost confidence because of her, and only lowered his head slightly.
Meng Xilan picked up the teacup unhurriedly and took a sip gently: "Bengong has never been a patient person, you don't know how important the prince is to Bengong...... Try? With you, a young girl, you dare to have other plans for the prince, do you think this palace will agree? ”
When Shen Dan heard this, he kowtowed again and again: "The slave is bold, and I hope that the mother will atone for her sins!" ”
Meng Xilan shook her head when she heard this: "When I saw you for the first time in this palace, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to say such stupid things." ”
"Niangniang, the slave maid doesn't dare to covet His Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid just wants to be the person under the mother's hand. Niangniang is the master of a palace, and the slave maid only wants to follow Niangniang...... As long as the mother commands, the slave is willing to do anything. ”
Her words sounded very familiar, and Meng Xilan always felt that she had heard them before. No, I've heard it many times.
I don't know how many people have said such things in front of her.
"You're willing to do anything?" Meng Xilan asked quietly.
"Yes......" Shen Dan said firmly.
Meng Xilan thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, then the palace will give you a chance." On the day of His Royal Highness the Prince's birthday, if you can make him happy, then the palace will give you a chance. ”
Shen Dan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, he couldn't believe that this was true.
"You only have this one chance." Meng Xilan said word by word.
Shen Dan kowtowed and thanked him, and retreated with a smile.
Zhulu was in the outer hall, although she didn't eavesdrop, but seeing her attitude, she knew that the queen mother was not embarrassed for her.
"Mother, what are you going to do with this girl?"
The tea in the tea bowl was already a little cold, but Meng Xilan still took another sip.
"She's not bad, she's a lovely person. Especially those eyes, you can see Zhulu too. ”
Looking at a person's eyes, one can often see a lot of things.
Her eyes told Meng Xilan that she was a very stubborn person.
Zhulu frowned slightly: "Niangniang, don't you really want her to get close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
With such a humble status, how could she get close to the prince?
"Zhulu, the prince is older, and sooner or later there will be women by his side."
"Niangniang, only the best woman in the world is worthy of our prince!"
Zhulu's tone was a little anxious.
Meng Xilan's eyes sank: "The prince is getting married now, it's still too early." ”
Her tone paused slightly: "Moreover, there is a person hidden in Changsheng's heart, and you and I both know it." ”
Zhulu was slightly stunned, and then shook her head: "The princess has married far away, and the prince will let it go." ”
Meng Xilan shook her head and said, "He won't forget about worry-free." Just as Hongu will not forget her. ”
She still remembered very well that Changsheng had personally promised that he would bring her back.
Zhulu was silent for a moment before she said, "But Niangniang, such a woman, if you want to keep her by the prince's side, she will definitely become a scourge." ”
"Her target is not the crown prince, but the main palace. There must be something behind her, and this palace wants to take another look. ”
Zhulu was still very worried, and only said: "If Niangniang wants to know her details, just let Xiao Lizi know in the first trial." ”
The means of high welfare, can't the mother still believe it?
Meng Xilan shook her head: "Xiao Lizi is too ruthless, this child will not live tomorrow in his hands." ”
She wants to keep her, keep her for the time being.
……
It's only ten days, but worry-free feels like a year is long.
Tu Du was true to his word, and he really came back on time.
However, when he returned, his expression became heavier.
He came to the carefree room, still with his hands behind his back, looking preoccupied.
Wu Wu looked at him, did not get up to greet him, nor did he salute and say goodbye.
They hadn't seen each other for ten days, and the two faced each other in silence.
Mingzhu saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurriedly bowed and retreated.
The only two of them were left in the room, and Sanssouci finally spoke.
"The Great Khan is here to say goodbye to his concubines this time? Or are you here to pick up your concubines and go back? ”
Worry-free and straightforward, which made Tu Du's expression change.
He didn't answer, but came to her, looked at her, and said, "How is your body?" ”
Seeing that he didn't answer what he asked, he said, "Everything is fine with the concubine." ”
As Tu Du said, this place is impregnable, they are guarded layer by layer, and no one can enter.
Tu Du sighed lightly: "You have to stay here for a few more days." ”
Worry-free frowned slightly: "Why?" ”
Tu Du looked at her dark eyes and said in a deep voice, "You can't go back with me yet." ”
It's a tricky situation over there.
His subordinates only want to go to war, do not want to negotiate peace, as for worry-free...... They don't care about her identity, they only treat her as an outcast.
Worry-free no longer has the value of existing. Even if she had the flesh and blood of a sweaty sweat in her belly, it wouldn't change anything.
Tu Du relied on his hands and fought all the way to his current position.
He cannot afford to lose his prestige, let alone his support.
"Right now, it's safest for you to stay here."
Carefree listened to him, curling his lips with a smirk.
In the past ten days, she finally understood what the queen mother had said back then.
"Don't worry, you have to remember that the change in people's hearts is the most terrible."
Xu was too nervous, and his carefree lower abdomen tightened for a while, and the pain was unbearable.
She reached out and gently stroked her lower abdomen, trying to soothe the child in her womb.
She endured the pain and gritted her teeth.
"How long does the Great Khan want his concubines to stay here?"
Tu Du's face was heavy: "If you can, wait until the child in your womb is born......"
"Really? When the concubine gives birth to the child, will it all be over? Still, when the child is born, the concubine will have no use value at all. ”
Tu Du's eyes turned cold, and he turned his head to look at her, but saw her stroking her lower abdomen and sitting down.
"Don't say anything like that."
Worry-free hurt so much that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Great Khan, if you think the concubine is in the way, it is better to send the concubine back to Beiyan."
"The mansion is a cage, and so is the palace. The Great Khan once made fun of his concubines, saying that the concubines were always caged birds, just canaries. ”
Tu Du's eyes were deep, and his eyes became sharp.
"You want to go back? Do you think you'll be able to go back? ”
Wuwu raised his eyes to look at him: "Great Khan, can't the concubine hide in this six states city for a lifetime?" ”
"It's not hiding!" Tu Du slapped the table and said.
Worry-free argued: "What is this not hiding? The concubine came for the reconciliation of the two countries, and the concubine is not unsightly...... Also, the children of the concubines...... Also the child of the Great Khan. ”
Tu Du frowned when he heard this, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't seem to know how to speak.
How was he going to explain it to her? Or maybe she's not wrong. He just wanted her to hide and give birth quietly.
The carefree lower abdomen is still very flat, and there is no trace at all.
"The concubine is just a captive in Liuzhou City. If the mother is a captive, then his child is also a captive...... The concubine would never allow such a thing to happen. ”
Seeing her get up and want to leave, Tu Du grabbed her slender wrist and said, "You can't go anywhere." ”
He didn't know how to face her for a while, so he just pulled her to sit down, and then turned and went out.
The moment he stepped out of the room, carefree tears flowed instantly.
She lowered her head and told Mingzhu to come in.
Who knows, the person who came in was not Mingzhu, but Wu Mingshi.
He returned with the Great Khan.
Carefree saw him and hurriedly turned around to wipe away his tears.
"What are you going to do?"
She has always had a bad impression of this person, although he is from the Central Plains, but his origin is unknown.
Wu Mingshi respectfully saluted and greeted. "There are just two things I want to say to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
He called her Her Royal Highness, not the Grand Concubine.
Carefree stared at him: "Why do you still call me Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Do you still have Beiyan in your heart? ”
Wu Mingshi's tone sank: "Your Highness, as a native of Beiyan, you have never forgotten your origin. ”
Sanssouci scrutinized her eyes, trying to know how much of what he said was true and how much was false.
After a moment of silence, Wuwu asked him, "Since you are from Beiyan, why don't you dissuade the Great Khan." ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this matter is very important, and it cannot be saved by one person. The Northern Yan and the Turks have been at loggerheads for many years, and this is a hatred accumulated for generations. ...... that won't go away easily"
Undoubtedly, the tone was excited: "Then let's do nothing?" Waiting for them to kill each other? ”
Wu Mingshi shook his head and said, "No, as long as His Highness can keep the child in his womb, then everything will turn around." ”
