Zhou Youchen looked at Meng Xilan leisurely, but he didn't know that he was also being stared at.

Those eyes were as cold as an ice cellar, revealing a chill.

The sound of silk and bamboo, the fairy music fluttering, in a peaceful place, suddenly someone broke this comfortable peace.

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd raised their voices and spoke.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see that Zhou Youwen was drunk and blushing over with a red face.

His face was flushed, his eyes were intoxicated, and he had a wicked smile on his face.

Zhou Youchen has a total of eight elder brothers, the eldest prince who died early and Zhou Youping, who was deposed and deposed in the capital, among the six princes left behind in the capital, Zhou Youlin's fate was the most miserable, and he was imprisoned for life and was not allowed to leave Beijing. And several other people, in the two years after Zhou Youchen ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, they were successively named county kings, after all, they were concubines like him, and they were not eligible for the title of prince.

But for them, Zhou Youchen was merciful enough.

When he was unwilling, his brothers never cared about him, and only regarded him as an air-like existence.

Before Zhou Youchen ascended the throne, most of them supported Zhou Youlin, however, everything changed too quickly and caught people off guard.

Before they could put on a hypocritical face, Zhou Youchen had already won first. Not only did he win, but he also had three years to sit on the throne and win the hearts of the people.

So much so that they have a conspiracy to rebel, and in the end they can only be "stillborn" and will not be able to do it.

Now Zhou Youwen, although he has been named the king of the county, has no official position in the court, just an empty prince who eats and waits for death to eat empty food.

He can appear here today only because he is the emperor's brother and the status of the royal family.

Zhou Youwen's position is very backward, and when he enters the door, it is a very deserted position, and it is also a very unimportant position.

After the fall of Zhou Youlin, he had a difficult life, and he originally wanted to flatter Zhou Youchen, but he couldn't show his face, and in the end he couldn't get up or down, which was very embarrassing.

Today's excitement has nothing to do with him, he is honest, and after eating this table of meals in peace, he can be safe and sound, and continue to go back to be his rich idler. However, Xu is being snubbed made Zhou Youwen resentful.

Just now, after a few glasses of water and wine, he couldn't find the south, south, west, and northwest.

Zhou Youwen came to Zhou Youchen, half-knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty! This king wishes you happiness such as the East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan! ”

Zhou Youchen is just twenty years old, and it is really inappropriate to use such a greeting.

Meng Xilan hugged Brother Yun and glanced at him, and when she saw that his eyes were distracted, she knew that he had lost his mind again and was going to cause trouble.

"Come on, the sixth prince is drunk, send him to Changqing Pavilion to rest."

As soon as these words came out, a eunuch bowed forward.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Youwen raised his head and glared at Meng Xilan, and said in an unkind tone: "Concubine Niangniang!" Are you also overdoing it? If I toast the emperor again, do you want to care? ”

Zhou Youchen saw that he was disrespectful, his eyes sank, and he only said: "Sixth prince, you are indeed drunk, you should go down to wake up the bar." ”

When Zhou Youwen heard this, he just shook his head and brushed away the eunuch's hand.

In this way, the idea of the guards was aroused, and they immediately stepped forward to surround him, so as not to disadvantage him to the emperor and his mother.

Gao Fuli even raised his voice and said: "Sixth prince, it is small to be drunk, and it is big to resist the decree." You'd better not ruin everyone's interest. ”

What a damn thing! It's okay to be disrespectful in ordinary times, but I want to come to the temple today to sprinkle and play crazy, and I deserve to die!

Zhou Youwen didn't know why he had to touch Meng Xilan's moldy head, anyway, he just didn't like her, but he looked at her and laughed.

"What? Niangniang thinks that this king is going to assassinate the king?! Hahaha...... Joke! How dare I? Mother, I'm most afraid of you...... Niangniang came to kill and decide all the way, who is not afraid of you in this palace and outside the palace? Hahaha......" After laughing, he also gave Meng Xilan a thumbs up to show her awesomeness.

was so troubled by him, and everyone in the hall fell silent. Everyone's eyes all looked at Zhou Youwen first, with different expressions and different thoughts.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan just smiled lightly and said, "The person that the prince should be most afraid of should not be the mourning family. ”

Brother Yun in her arms turned around and looked at Zhou Youwen staring at a pair of scarlet and vicious eyes, and she didn't feel a little scared.

Meng Xilan sensed his uneasiness, reached out and patted him on the back, and continued: "The person who the prince should be most afraid of should be the prince himself. ”

If he dares to touch his moldy head and find Zhou Youchen unhappy, then she will let him lose face in front of everyone!

Zhou Youwen staggered forward, only to hear Meng Xilan scold: "In the past, when the first emperor was here, he was always dissatisfied with the prince. From childhood to adulthood, the prince never knew what the word "respect" was...... For your disrespect, how much loss did the prince suffer and how much punishment did he suffer? Presumably, the prince himself knows very well. Today is the emperor's birthday banquet, and it is already a supreme honor for the prince to be invited to participate. It's a pity, it's a pity, the prince's nature is difficult to change, after all, he can't be virtuous and obedient, it will only be annoying! ”

Her words were not hurried or impatient, and they were angular, which really embarrassed Zhou Youwen for a while!

He was about to open his mouth to refute, but he heard that Zhou Youchen had already ordered: "The sixth prince is drunk and out of shape, it is not appropriate to stay, send him back to the mansion, and take care of it." ”

Zhou Youchen particularly accentuated the tone of the last four words: "Good life to take care of", as if revealing some kind of hint.

Gao Fuli comprehended, raised the dust in his hand, and said lightly: "The slave obeys." ”

This kind of errand is not his job, but he wants to "send" the six princes today.

Zhou Youwen struggled to be helped out by the eunuchs, and kept screaming, but unfortunately, no one was willing to stand up for him.

Seeing that he is not inferior, it is one thing to offend Meng Xilan, and it is another thing to stand up and help him intercede, but it is another matter.

As soon as he got out of the hall, Gao Fuli blocked Zhou Youwen's mouth with a handkerchief.

He sneered and said, "Lord Wang, you asked for it today." If the minions don't sober you up, you won't have a long memory. ”

Gao Fuli ordered Zhou Youwen to take him to a remote place, and then threw Zhou Youwen into a large water tank filled with rainwater, the water in this tank was stored for watering flowers, and it was exposed to the sun for a long time, the water quality was turbid, and there was a little unpleasant smell.

Zhou Youwen choked on several mouthfuls of water and struggled for a long time before he stood up from the water tank, he glared at Gao Fuli angrily and pointed at him and scolded.

Gao Fuli just smiled and continued to command: "It seems that the prince's strength is still not awake." Why don't you hurry up and help him......"

Those little eunuchs got the order, and directly stepped forward and pressed Zhou Youwen with their hands, pressing him into the water, making him unable to breathe.

Gao Fuli silently counted in his heart, not only not to drown him, but also to let him know the lesson.

After tossing and turning like this more than a dozen times, Zhou Youwen collapsed in the tank, and he no longer had the strength to say another word.

Gao Fuli walked over step by step, looked at him and said, "You are still a prince, why don't you even understand the most basic politeness!" What day is it, you dare to offend the concubine and the emperor? Don't think that Niangniang really doesn't dare to touch you, she just doesn't kill you rarely, so as not to dirty anyone's hands. ”

"There will be a next time, without the orders of the emperor and Niangniang, the miscellaneous family will have a way to send you to the west by themselves!"

Gao Fuli didn't mean to scare him, he didn't kill anyone, and he didn't mind dirtying his hands again for the sake of his master.

Zhou Youwen's short-term abnormality did not destroy Meng Xilan's good mood.

When he was gone, she was still smiling.

Brother Yun looked at her puzzled, and asked in a low voice; "Auntie, why does the sixth prince look at you so fiercely?"

Meng Xilan explained with a smile: "The sixth prince is just drunk. ”

"Are drunk people that fierce?"

Meng Xilan was about to explain, but saw Zhou Youchen beckoning to Brother Yun, "Brother Yun, you come." ”

Seeing this, Brother Yun hurriedly jumped out of Meng Xilan's arms, and then walked over and said respectfully: "The emperor is safe." ”

Zhou Youchen saw that Meng Xilan always liked to hug him, so he also reached out and hugged him, then stood up and said, "Brother Yun, take a look." There are not only six drunken people in this palace, but he is the only one who has lost his temper after drinking and offended your aunt, which shows that he has a bad heart. If you are a person with a firm heart and a responsible heart, you will not embarrass others with the strength of alcohol, only a coward will do that! ”

Brother Yun didn't recognize his life, and put his little arm on Zhou Youchen's shoulder and said: "Back to the emperor, my father often taught Brother Yun to be a man who stands up to the sky, not to be a coward, let alone a bad person!" ”

His fairy tales made Zhou Youchen laugh very happily. He deliberately lifted him up a few points to tease him.

The people of the Meng family naturally rejoiced in their hearts. It's just that others have seen it, but they have other ideas.

The emperor has been on the throne for three years, and he has no children and no daughters under his knees, and now he favors the queen mother, and there is no hope for heirs. Seeing him holding the children of the Meng family, don't think about anything that shouldn't be moved!

Seeing this, Meng Xilan's heart sank slightly.

It is naturally a good thing that the emperor can like Brother Yun. But if my grandmother saw this, she would have to think about it a lot.

She knew that her grandmother wouldn't give up easily. If her health is not good, her grandmother will use all means to get her to adopt Yun Ge'er in the name of the royal family...... Such ambitions are too big, once Brother Yun becomes the adopted son of the royal family, then the ambitions of the family will become bigger and bigger, and they will be out of control!

The melancholy in Meng Xilan's eyes attracted Meng Xizhao's attention.

He felt very sorry for his sister's situation, but he didn't understand her thoughts.

In the past, she would let her wife take Brother Yun into the palace every month to meet her, but recently she deliberately didn't mention it, and she seemed to have some scruples in her heart.

What is she worried about? Is it the emperor, or Brother Yun?
