Chapter 408: A Blind Eye (1)
The kiss really scared her. However, what the queen mother said also made her feel at ease.
Changsheng can think about her so much, she is still very happy in her heart. But for these things to catch the wind and shadows, she felt very sad that he was reprimanded and reprimanded by his mother.
"How could you be okay? Those ministers are pleading about harmony in the court, and it is clear that they are aimed at you! "Although Changsheng has a childish side, he is not a child after all.
My sister's background has always been the reason why many people target her. Although the queen mother is in front of her, blocking a lot of gossip from the outside world for her, there are always some people who stick to her.
Carefree frowned slightly, and made a silent gesture to Changsheng. "Forget it, let's not talk about that."
"You eat a little bit so I can rest assured."
She knew she didn't like sweets, so she prepared sweet snacks.
Changsheng looked at those delicate foods, but still shook his head: "I don't have much appetite. ”
"You have to eat if you don't have an appetite." Worry-free insisted.
A pair of dark eyes stared at him, as if she wouldn't go if he didn't eat.
Changsheng had no choice but to pick up a piece and bite it.
Carefree laughed at this. "Why are you still like a child, you have to be coaxed to come."
Changsheng stopped eating half of it, picked up the teacup, stopped at his lips and said, "I can't be coaxed by anyone. ”
Hearing this, the smile on his face deepened.
"Okay, you eat slowly, I won't bother you."
She turned around to leave, but Changsheng behind her stood up: "Wait......"
"It's rare for my sister to come once, so let's stay a little longer."
Wuwu looked at the sky outside, and only said, "It's not early, I'll come to see you another day." ”
It wouldn't have hurt if they had been younger, but now, they're all older.
"Since my sister has come to see me, let's talk to me."
He knew what she cared about, so he walked straight over, took her hand and said, "Sister will sit with me for a while." I have something important to ask you. ”
Carefree looked at him stunned, his eyes widened, but he didn't speak.
Seeing this, Xiao Changzi hurriedly gave Xiangming a look and motioned for them to go out and wait.
The two of them sat down face to face, the door was open, and the shadows of the palace people waiting outside standing under the lamp could be faintly seen.
"Changsheng, what do you have to say to me?"
His serious appearance made her a little unaccustomed.
Changsheng kept staring at her face, the soft candlelight reflecting her pink cheeks, making her skin look crystal clear, as if it were transparent.
Seeing that he was only looking at himself, but didn't speak, he smiled helplessly, then picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and said, "Don't you have something important to say?" ”
Hearing this, Changsheng retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes: "Actually, what I want to ask is, does my sister have any plans to live her own marriage?" ”
"Huh?" Worry-free snorted softly when he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed: "Why are you suddenly asking this?" ”
As a daughter's family, how can you easily talk about your marriage.
Changsheng seemed to want to know, and said in a direct tone: "There are no outsiders here at this time, and there are no elders here. I just wanted to ask my sister the truth. ”
Puzzled, he looked at him and asked, "Why?" ”
"I need to know, and, I have to." Changsheng told the truth, for the sake of her, he gradually became a little upset.
He didn't know if she really wanted to get married, or if she was just following her mother's wishes.
Carefree lowered his head, somewhat avoiding his gaze: "I don't know ......"
Changsheng furrowed his eyebrows, and his eyes froze, "What do you mean you don't know?" ”
This is a major event related to her life, only once in a lifetime, how can she not know?
Carefree slowly stood up and walked around the room, "I mean, I don't know what to do yet?" If it is according to the mother's will, I should marry happily. But I don't want to marry yet, and I don't want to leave you yet...... But I can't go unmarried for the rest of my life, and my mother said that I was seventeen years old, which was not too young......"
Her words were a little unfinished, and her tone was hurried and uneasy, as if she was in a very anxious mood.
"I don't want to leave here, but I seem to have to."
Carefree suddenly remembered when she was a child, she still remembered that when she was a child, she was at her grandmother's grandfather's house, and no one liked her, except for her mother and uncle.
"I want you to stay." After being silent for a while, Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "If you can, I hope my sister can stay in the palace all the time." ”
This is what he really means, although it sounds a little strange.
Worry-free listened to his heart and shook slightly.
She didn't think much of it, she just felt that he wouldn't say it for no reason, there must be a reason.
Come to think of it, they grew up together since childhood, and he must be reluctant to give her up.
Worry-free smiled crookedly: "Changsheng, I know you can't bear me." ”
No matter what, hearing him say this, her heart was still warm.
Changsheng stabilized his mind and said to her solemnly: "I really can't bear my sister. ”
If he could, he wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. Although his life is so long, he will not regret it.
Worry-free Yanyan's face flushed slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh along.
"I can't bear you, I can't bear the queen mother."
Changsheng opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, but he stopped talking.
How could she understand his thoughts, he was really reluctant, the kind of reluctance that was almost heart-to-heart.
The short time between Changsheng and Wuwu soon reached Meng Xilan's ears.
When she heard this, she sighed, except for shaking her head.
Seeing that the master was upset, Jade said, "Niangniang, it's not a way to go on like this." ”
Meng Xilan glanced at her when she heard this: "You don't want to be too troublesome, and don't talk too much." ”
Jade immediately lowered her head.
Meng Xilan knew in her heart that Changsheng and Wuwu were both children who obeyed the rules, and it was nothing for the two of them to talk with the door open.
If she had made an early move, wouldn't it be a big fuss.
There were so many pairs of eyes staring at her in the womb, she couldn't be in a hurry, and it was useless to be in a hurry.
The most difficult thing in the world to cut is the love thread. Moreover, they also have the love of growing up together since childhood.
Wait a little longer, and see again...... Meng Xilan thought so in her heart.
…
Incidents occurred frequently on the northwest frontier, and the 16 Turkic tribes came back again after ten years of silence.
Their new khan is an ambitious man who seems to have to bring down the Northern Yan.
As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles.
Zhou Youchen sent people to check with a lot of effort, and their new khan finally found out that they were cousins.
The new khan of the sixteen Turkic tribes was named Tudu. He was originally just the youngest son of a tribal leader.
Tu Du's mother was the youngest sister of the Ashina clan, and when the Ashina clan was sent to Beiyan as a tribute, Tu Du's mother was just a child.
Zhou Youchen didn't expect that he would have such a relationship with the enemy, and he was angry and hateful in his heart.
He had half Turkic blood in his body, and that would not change. However, his cousin, who is about to become his arch-rival, will not change that.
"Your Majesty, I heard that it is precisely because of this relationship between himself and the emperor that he has been clamoring to raise troops to the north and occupy the imperial capital. Because he believes that the emperor is a descendant of the Turks, this Northern Yan Kingdom is also in the pocket of the Turks. ”
Meng Xizhao said these words without hesitation, although he was apprehensive in his heart, he did not hide it.
Zhou Youchen listened, clenched his fists, and his knuckles creaked.
"What a cheeky villain!"
actually took this as a grandiose reason.
"According to his words, then, their Sixteen Turkic Divisions are also the subordinate places of my Northern Yan."
Although Meng Xizhao was a civil servant, this time he fully supported the emperor to start a war and beat the enemy.
He is the eldest son of the Meng family and the future master of the Meng family.
What the emperor wants to do, the people of the Meng family must support. Because there's nothing wrong with that.
"Your Majesty, the ministers are trying to raise the military salary, and there are some brave people who want to fill the army and fight with them. But most of them are rural people, lack management and training, gather people but can't get things done, and the ministers are still trying to find a way......"
Zhou Youchen saw that his eyebrows were frowning, and his face was full of anxiety, so he knew that he had put a lot of thought into it.
"Aiqing, although there is no Prince Rong in the way of the court, my brothers still insist on neutrality! Right now, if I want to defend the northwest border and attack on defense, I can only send someone over to save the scene first. ”
Meng Xizhao looked up at him when he heard this: "The emperor already has a suitable candidate in his heart?" ”
Zhou Youchen nodded and stretched out three fingers: "Chu, Jing, Chuan." ”
Among the generals, only he is young and has great achievements, and he is a famous general, full of loyalty.
Speaking of Chu Jingchuan, Meng Xizhao's face changed slightly.
After so many years, his existence is still a stone hanging in the heart of the Meng family.
"The emperor wants to send him, so it's naturally suitable." Meng Xizhao replied lightly.
"But now he has no intention of doing anything, and stays in the military field all day to train soldiers, I want to send him, but I'm afraid that I won't move him." Zhou Youchen's tone was low, and his face was gloomy.
Meng Xizhao groaned slightly: "That Weichen will go to persuade him personally." ”
Chu Jingchuan has resentment against the Meng family in his heart, and the same is true for the emperor.
Although it is an old thing, but helplessly, back then, he had a deep love for his sister, and his love was deep.
Zhou Youchen's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "You can't please move him, only Lan'er can invite him." ”
Meng Xizhao's heart tightened, for fear that the emperor would be suspicious and suspicious of his sister.
"Your Majesty, the harem is not allowed to interfere in court affairs...... I'm afraid it's not very convenient. ”
When Zhou Youchen heard him say this, he raised his hand: "You don't have to worry, I didn't think much about it." ”
He has been a husband and wife with Lan'er for so many years, and he trusts her 100%.
"This time, I ask her, please your Meng family." Zhou Youchen said with a sigh.
After the next dynasty, Zhou Youchen came to Cining Palace, he didn't make a detour, and told Meng Xilan the truth.
Meng Xilan was stunned in his hand, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and he just quietly handed over the tea bowl.
"Your Majesty, since you have spoken, then the concubines naturally have to do their best to do things for the emperor."
Zhou Youchen didn't tie her tea bowl, and said in a deep voice: "Don't say polite words to me, I want to listen to your true words." ”
Meng Xilan looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, how do you think the concubine can still invite General Chu?" The concubine is afraid that she no longer has the ability and weight. ”
"Lan'er, don't be careful, I haven't doubted you. I just need your help......"
Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly, and she nodded: "Since the emperor said so, the concubines are at ease." The concubines were willing to try it for the emperor, but whether it was successful or not, the concubines did not dare to guarantee it. ”
Zhou Youchen smiled silently. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that as long as she was willing to speak, Chu Jingchuan would definitely listen.
