Chapter 562: The Crown Princess (3)
"Your Majesty, don't forget, the palace was unscrupulous at the beginning to have its current position, and the emperor is the same."
Zhou Youchen waved his robe when he heard this, turned around, and didn't look at Meng Xilan's face. "You don't have to remind me all the time, you helped me get this country! I have never forgotten your good ......"
Meng Xilan's whole face turned cold.
What is good? What is bad? If he had remembered the old days, they wouldn't have been what they are today.
After a long while, Meng Xilan said lightly: "It's good that the emperor still remembers."
This sentence made Zhou Youchen turn around again, and he immediately walked over and stood in front of Meng Xilan, his eyes firmly locked on her eyes, her eyebrows, and her lips.
Her face was slightly pale, her eyebrows were lowered, and her expression was not very docile, but she definitely hid some secrets.
Admittedly, he still misses her. thought deeply to the bone marrow, but once he saw her, he would think of Chu Jingchuan in his heart. This thought will drive him crazy, crazy...... If you think about it, maybe it's not hatred, but deep jealousy!
Meng Xilan didn't want him to get too close to him, if he noticed something, then ......
Meng Xilan didn't dare to continue to think about it, she couldn't think about it anymore, Zhou Youchen knew her so well that he could easily find out her abnormality. The more she thought about it, the more her face was exposed.
Just as she was alone, Zhou Youchen's fingers had slowly stroked up and landed on her eyebrows.
"Queen, why are you frowning? For me? Or is it for someone else? ”
Meng Xilan was slightly stunned when she heard this. She gently turned her face away, but Zhou Youchen didn't allow it.
His eyes looked at Meng Xilan fixedly, his eyes full of doubts.
"How long are you going to resist me? I am the emperor, and no one in this world can resist me! ”
Meng Xilan slowly raised her eyes, her eyes were like two deep pools, bottomless.
"The emperor can rest assured, the concubines have no intention of rebelling against the emperor, they just want to set a marriage for the prince as soon as possible. The concubines have always been loyal to the emperor. ”
Her tone was soft, but with the indifference of rejecting him thousands of miles away.
For some reason, the word "loyalty" coming out of her mouth really made him feel harsh.
He wanted her heart, not faithfulness, but all she had.
"The prince's marriage, I will think about it carefully, I really don't need to rush at this moment!"
Zhou Youchen got up and wanted to leave, but when he came to the door, he hesitated. "Don't be too preoccupied, your face is not good."
Meng Xilan saluted silently, watching him leave the palace gate and walk farther and farther.
"Niangniang......" After he left, Baozhu walked over in a panic.
Meng Xilan's eyes regained sharpness, looked at her and said, "You are acting too flustered."
Baozhu hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "The slave is stupid, and I hope that the mother will forgive."
Meng Xilan had no intention of scolding her, in fact, let alone her, her own breathing was chaotic just now.
Meng Xilan stroked her lower abdomen and sat down slowly.
"You call Chu Ansheng over."
"Yes."
Chu Ansheng was in the backyard at this time, sitting in a daze, and all the bonsai that originally needed to be watered were damaged by him, and they were not in shape.
Baozhu shook his head helplessly: "The flowers and plants are innocent, why do you want to be angry with them!" Let's go, the mother told you to come over and talk. ”
Chu Ansheng clapped his hands and hurriedly passed.
Meng Xilan looked at him with a faint gaze: "You did a good job just now." Calm down, but also ruthless! But I want to remind you that this is just the beginning! ”
After Meng Xilan paused slightly, she said again: "This palace values you very much, you have to know."
Chu Ansheng nodded, although his face was as heavy as water, his eyes flashed with deep anger.
In order to deal with Zhou Youchen, it took Meng Xilan a lot of energy.
She sighed with weariness and fell into a deep sleep. Who knows, he was awakened by a nightmare again, he dreamed that Zhou Youchen had discovered everything, and then came with a long sword in his hand, his face full of murder. No matter how much she begged him, he still refused to let her child go.
With a sharp blade, he cut open her belly with his own hands, and then killed her child...... The nightmare was so realistic that when Meng Xilan woke up from the nightmare, she was already covered in sweat.
Jiao Changqing came with illness, and when he saw her haggard, he said, "Niangniang, it's too late for you to regret it now."
Meng Xilan's eyes sank: "What do you mean?"
Jiao Changqing lowered his head and stopped talking.
Meng Xilan looked at him with burning eyes, then grabbed his hand and said, "Don't say this kind of thing to me...... Don't discourage me! ”
Her tone trembled, as if pleading.
Jiao Changqing's heart moved, and he hurriedly held her hand and clenched it tightly.
Meng Xilan sighed: "This palace will not regret it, this child is the will of heaven!"
As a human being in two lives, perhaps as fate would have it, she would come to this point.
…
The prince's choice of concubines has always been very low-key. However, Meng Xilan asked Gao Fuli to deliberately release the news, but it spread in the city in two or three days. Everyone is talking about it, and they are all speculating about whose daughter will have such good luck to become the crown princess.
As the prince, the crown prince is the heir to the throne. And he is the only prince of the emperor, and he has no opponents and threats at all. Compared with the battle for the heir back then, the crown prince can be said to be worry-free and inevitable.
Therefore, no matter who it is, as long as it can sit in the position of the crown princess. In the future, she will be the queen, the mother of a country.
Changsheng was in the inner palace, and he didn't know that the outside world had chosen a concubine for him, and there were even four popular candidates.
Ayina was in Cining Palace, and she inadvertently listened to the gossip of the little eunuchs before she learned about it.
She immediately went to see Meng Xilan, and said with a puzzled expression: "Niangniang, do you really want to choose a concubine for the crown prince?"
Meng Xilan had just taken the fetal pill and was about to rest, when she saw that she was so anxious that she looked like she was about to cry, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at her for a moment before saying, "The palace and the emperor have this plan."
Ayina was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then lowered her head sadly.
Meng Xilan looked at her quietly and knew what was going on in her heart.
"Kid, what's wrong with you? Come here, come to Hongu here. ”
Ayina walked over with her head down, and said with a red face: "Queen Mother, I like the immortal brother."
Her bravery bordered on innocence, and she said it bluntly.
Meng Xilan looked at her deeply: "This palace knows."
Aina's cheeks were crimson, her eyes widened, and she said, "How do you know?"
Meng Xilan smiled lightly: "From the first time I saw you, this palace knew about it. If you don't like the crown prince, how can you leave your hometown and follow him all the way to the capital? Child, don't tell this palace about you, you don't miss home at all. ”
When Aina heard this, her big eyes flickered and blinked, and she soon burst into tears.
Of course she was homesick, every day, every day.
"Queen Mother, I want to stay by my brother's side."
The sunlight outside the window shone on her jade-like cheeks, coating her eyebrows with a slight glow.
The girl's shyness and stubbornness were all written on her face.
This is the best time, young bravery, simple and direct.
Meng Xilan took her hand and asked her to sit beside her.
"Good boy, this palace has a sincere word for you. The prince is the prince, and you will not be the only woman around. If that's the case, would you still be willing to stay by his side? ”
Ayina was stunned again when she heard this, and her eyes flashed slightly.
Meng Xilan touched her hair: "You never thought about it." What would you do if someone you liked had someone else around you? ”
Aina bowed her head and said no more.
Meng Xilan stroked the back of her hand and smiled slightly: "It's not so simple to like someone. So, you have to think it through. ”
After Ayina left the main hall, Gao Fuli came over and asked, "Niangniang, do you think this child is sincere?" ”
Meng Xilan closed her eyes and was silent for a moment before she said, "She is still young, so she naturally has sincerity." ”
"Your Royal Highness's marriage, will the emperor settle it as soon as possible?"
At the mention of this, Meng Xilan felt a headache, and she rubbed her temples with her fingers.
"Let's take a look at it again. Hongu is pressing too hard now, but it's not good. ”
Acting too eagerly will only make Zhou Youchen suspicious of her.
…
Because of Meng Xilan's words, Ayina locked herself in the house and didn't come out for a whole day.
Every time Changsheng came to say goodbye, he would stop by to see her. Who knows, it's a closed door today.
Changsheng stood in the courtyard, looking at her closed door, frowning slightly, but still turned around and left.
She's always had a child's temper, and this time she may be homesick.
The next day, he came to see her again, but she still didn't come out.
Changsheng asked the queen mother what was wrong, and the queen mother just smiled and said nothing.
He ordered the minions of the flower house to bring the cut plum blossoms, and wanted to send them all to her room.
Aina heard his voice and opened the door herself, Changsheng stood at the door, looking down at her: "Why is your face like this?" Are you sick? ”
Aina didn't answer, just turned away.
Changsheng ordered the minions to bring in all the flowers, but Ayina saw it, but shook her head and refused: "I don't want it, I don't want it." ”
Changsheng looked at her in surprise: "Don't you like to put flowers in the house the most?" What's going on today? ”
Aina glanced at him and tapped the petals with her fingertips: "The flowers are so pitiful. ”
Changsheng didn't understand what she meant, so he just looked down at her: "What's wrong with you?" Is something wrong? ”
Ayina held back her stomach and wanted to talk to him, but she really saw him, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say, blocked in her heart, and felt uncomfortable.
"This flower is really pitiful, it was broken, and it could only be kept in a bottle, and once the flower was gone, it was thrown away......"
Such a little daughter's worries are naturally incomprehensible to Changsheng. He turned his back to look at her, only to feel that she had something on his mind, so he said, "You don't want to spend it, then I'll send you something else, okay?" ”
His tone was gentle, and he was always patient with her. Because he has always treated Aina as a child who has not grown up, no one will have to deal with a child.
Ayina bit her lip to look at him, and hesitated for a while before saying, "Brother Changsheng, can you give me everything I want?" ”
Changsheng frowned and smiled: "This is not necessarily, but as long as I can give it, I will rely on you." ”
Ayina looked shy, and made a lot of determination before saying, "Then can you give me your heart?" ”
Hearing this, Changsheng's heart moved slightly, he looked at her deeply, and then laughed again: "Little fool, if I give you my heart, I will die." He stroked her cheek as he spoke, only to feel that her face was hot, as if she had a fever.
"I think you must be sick."
