His father once said that if she persuaded him to think twice, he must have the determination to win.

Meng Xilan looked into his eyes, and there was a determination in his eyes. In this way, how else could she persuade him?

Zhou Youchen also saw full of worry and distress in her eyes, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Don't you believe me?" ”

Meng Xilan didn't nod or shake her head, just bit her lip before saying, "Then the emperor will take me with you too." ”

Regardless of the outcome, she wants to share it with him.

Zhou Youchen's heart moved when he heard this, and he slowed down his tone and said slowly: "No, how can you take a woman with you when you march and fight." ”

How could he give up such a dangerous place? Put her at risk.

Meng Xilan didn't follow, still looked at him, her eyes burned, and said, "I want to go with you." In the future, wherever the emperor is, I will be there, and no one can separate us...... Moreover, I want to see Concubine Xiao's hometown, even if it is just from a distance, I heard that it is a very beautiful place. ”

He has half Turkic blood in his veins, and he is also a Turkic child. So, this is perhaps the closest he has come to his mother's hometown.

Zhou Youchen's brown eyes flickered slightly.

He smiled, a little abrupt: "Okay, I know." ”

Meng Xilan also smiled back, and slowly stretched out her hand, wanting to hug him.

The two of them hugged each other gently, and Zhou Youchen whispered in her ear: "Lan'er." ”

Meng Xilan laughed out loud a little awkwardly. He called her by her name like this, which made her feel a little weird.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm not used to it."

Zhou Youchenlang smiled: "What's not used to, I have wanted to call you that for a long time." ”

Her name is nice and it looks more intimate that way.

Meng Xilan still shook her head: "No, how many years older am I than the emperor." ”

Zhou Youchen only hugged her tighter. "Lan'er, I like to call you that. You are mine now, and I can do whatever I want. ”

He said as he lowered his head to kiss her earlobe. Such a move made Meng Xilan's cheeks flush instantly, and she remembered last night's incident again, she originally thought she was drunk and couldn't remember anything, but she still remembered it intermittently.

Zhou Youchen was close to her face, and he could feel the temperature of her cheeks slowly rising, and when he turned his head to look at her, he saw a crimson color. "It's too late to remember to be shy now?"

Meng Xilan patted him gently: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of me." Mourning ......"

As soon as these two words came out, she unconsciously paused.

Zhou Youchen stared at her: "You are no longer Concubine Lan." I want you to be my ......"

Before he finished speaking, Meng Xilan took the lead in covering his mouth and shook his head gently: "I don't care about the title, and the emperor doesn't need to arrange any title for me." ”

"Do you want to stay by my side in the name of a concubine for the rest of your life?" Zhou Youchen asked puzzled.

She was already his, all her life. Naturally, he wanted to give her the most suitable position.

"Is it possible, does the emperor want to abolish the queen? Or are you going to canonize me as a concubine, the same as the deputy queen? Meng Xilan asked in a calm tone.

Choosing a concubine is not child's play, this is a major event related to the stability of the harem.

Zhou Youchen held her shoulder and said, "You are the only one in this world who is qualified to be my queen." ”

Meng Xilan still shook her head: "Don't do it after the abolition, please think twice about this matter." The queen has been in the palace for two years, and she has not made any mistakes, and the emperor has no reason to abolish the queen! ”

"No, I have a reason, you are my reason." Zhou Youchen's tone aggravated a little.

"It is for my sake that the emperor cannot depose the queen! When I was in Fahua Temple, I was very clear about the matter of the emperor's election of concubines, and the reason why I did not object to this matter was because I had already recognized my position. Meng Xilan looked at his eyes faintly, not expecting him to understand his hardships, only hoping that he would not act impulsively.

"I will be by the emperor's side for the rest of my life, and no one can separate us. But I don't need the title of the harem, I just need the emperor's trust and like. ”

The name in this palace is just a piece of paper, which can be broken by blowing and useless.

Zhou Youchen shook his head a little helplessly, staring at her eyes and looking at her again: "You are really strange." Something that others cry and shout for, you are never uncommon. Meng Xilan, what are you going to do with me? ”

"It's the same as it was before, it's the same as it is now." Meng Xilan hugged him again, her chin gently pressed against his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "No matter who I am, the emperor can always really like me, this is more important than anything else." ”

Even if there is no glory and no background one day, she is just her, an ordinary woman. At that point, his original intention remained the same, and that was what she expected.

Zhou Youchen listened a little as if he didn't understand, and only sighed halfway.

"Lan'er, do you know how difficult a woman you are?"

Meng Xilan smiled lightly when she heard this, and the laughter entered her ears, which made Zhou Youchen's heart warm.

He remembered what had happened last night, and couldn't help but bow his head and lean over to kiss her earlobe.

Meng Xilan was itchy and avoided it a little.

Zhou Youchen saw that she wanted to hide, so he kissed her again, kissing all the way down along her earlobe, itching her to laugh non-stop.

"Your Majesty, it's still daytime."

Meng Xilan was so upset by him that she was afraid that he would act abruptly.

"What happened during the day?" Zhou Youchen looked straightforward.

As he was talking, Zhulu brought the decoction again.

"It's time for my mother."

The smell of medicine came to his face, and Zhou Youchen frowned and shook his head: "Otherwise, don't drink it." ”

Meng Xilan gently pushed him away, stretched out her hand to take the medicine bowl, and smiled slightly: "No, this medicine is not for me to drink, but also for the emperor." ”

Zhou Youchen looked at her very distressedly: "It's really hard for you." ”

Meng Xilan drank the medicine slowly, only to feel that today's medicine was not as unpleasant as usual.

Zhou Youchen sat on the side and looked at her, his brows furrowing more and more.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan only said: "The emperor should go to the Heart Cultivation Hall and get busy with business." The smell of this medicine will not dissipate for a while, and besides, after taking the medicine, I want to lie down for a while. ”

Zhou Youchen thought about it when he heard this, and agreed: "Okay, I'll come to see you in the evening." ”

He's here, and she's not resting well.

After Zhou Youchen left, Meng Xilan drank all the decoction in the bowl.

Zhu Lu brought preserved fruit to relieve her distress, "Niangniang, do you want Master Jiao to come over and give you a pulse of peace." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head: "Don't worry, this medicine will take a few more months." If it doesn't work for a long time, let the master find a way. ”

It's not something to be hasty, maybe it's all in vain in the end, but at least she's tried, so she won't regret it.

……

For seven days, Zhou Youchen stayed in Cining Palace. Concubine Lan is still Concubine Lan, but everyone in the palace understands in their hearts that only Meng Xilan is the real master of the harem.

This morning, Su Wenxiu came to say hello in person. No matter how unfair and sad she is, she has to come.

Although she didn't want to see Meng Xilan's arrogant face, she always had to see her attitude.

However, it was completely different from what Song Wenxiu thought, Meng Xilan still looked unhurried and cold when she saw her.

Her complexion looks pretty good,

"Niangniang Wan'an, this palace is here to say good news to Niangniang today."

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard this: "Dao Xi? Don't say anything like that. Why do you come to me when you're not happy in your heart......"

She deliberately dragged out her tone, with a bit of intriguing questioning.

Song Wenxiu slightly restrained the smile on her face, "How can this palace not come?" This palace is just a person without favor, a person without favor, what qualifications does he have to his tail? ”

"Don't say such things, in the heart of the mourning family, the queen has always been an arrogant person." Meng Xilan took a sip of tea and said lightly.

She likes the kind of person who doesn't admit defeat easily, and the person who is not hard-boned is destined to not succeed in a big thing. Song Wenxiu is still young in the end, if she has a few more years of training in the future, she will also be a master who can kill and decide.

Song Wenxiu met her gaze and said helplessly: "What's the use of arrogance? The main palace is just a gorgeous ornament, and it is estimated that it will soon be replaced. ”

Meng Xilan sat up straight, her eyes lit up and said, "Why, the queen mother admitted defeat so quickly?" ”

Song Wenxiu was stunned when she heard this, and only said: "What else can you do if you don't admit defeat?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly, "Queen, you haven't lost yet, and the mourning family hasn't won either." ”

When Song Wenxiu heard this, she felt that she was deliberately saying cool things.

"Oh, is it? So Niangniang is ready to share the emperor's favor for Niangniang to the palace? ”

Meng Xilan raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window, and said quietly: "What is the emperor's mind?" It's not something that this palace can speculate, and it's not something that this palace can influence. If the queen wants the emperor's favor, she can only fight for it herself. ”

Song Wenxiu laughed angrily: "Fight? What is this palace fighting for? You are the only one in the emperor's heart, is it difficult for this palace to open the emperor's heart with a knife, and then stuff my name into it? ”

Her tone was a little excited, but Meng Xilan still remained gentle: "Winning people's hearts is not such a simple and rude thing. The queen wants to please the emperor, first of all, the queen, you really like the emperor? Rong Aijia asked a question that shouldn't be asked, queen, do you like the emperor? ”

When she asked suddenly, Song Wenxiu was slightly stunned, she opened her mouth, and thought for a moment before saying: "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and he deserves to be loved by all the people, and this palace is naturally ......."

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly when she heard this: "The queen doesn't have to be an official with the mourning family, if she likes someone, she likes it, and she doesn't need to make any excuses." ”

Song Wenxiu's eyes sank, bit her lip and said, "What do you want to do with this palace?" How can a man who ignores himself like it? Even if the palace wants to dig out the heart and lungs of the emperor, the emperor must give the palace a chance. ”
