Chapter 7: Concubines are jealous
Hey?
What is this big, deserted palace?
Meng Tang Tang floated around......
Floating?!
Don't...... Is she dreaming?
Meng Tangtang looked at his almost transparent body-
It's really a dream!
.
Hey?
Someone seems to be talking?
Meng Tangtang floated over to the source of the sound and found two people in ancient costumes.
An older, middle-aged man with a very high social status said to a woman standing in front of him, "I have selected you from a thousand people, and I have spent several years carefully cultivating you, just hoping that you will become the most loyal sword by the king's side." I want you to love the king wholeheartedly, even to the point of dying for him, do you understand? β
It turns out that this middle-aged man who looks very social in terms of dressing is really a high-ranking official?
Although Meng Tangtang's understanding of history, she still can't see the other party's dynasty. But no matter which dynasty it is, or even in an alternate world, the prime minister should be a high-ranking official, right?
The woman, who looked young from the back, hung her head and replied respectfully: "Mengchen knows, please rest assured." β
"Hmm~" The prime minister seemed to be quite satisfied with her answer, and then he stroked his beard and continued to instruct the woman, "In the early days of the dynasty today, the king decreed that you should be made a concubine. β
"What...... What the? The woman seemed so surprised by this that she suddenly raised her head, "So...... What about the princesses who came to participate in the selection of concubines? β
The prime minister walked slowly past the woman to a low table not far away, and said as he walked: "The king named you a concubine, this is deliberately done for the ministers to see, after all, you are the righteous daughter who has just been sent to the palace." β
The woman suddenly turned around, hurriedly followed behind the prime minister and asked, "Is the king dissatisfied with the prime minister sending me to the palace?" β
The woman's turn made Meng Tangtang almost wake up.
This woman ......
This womanβ
He looks exactly like himself!
Such a scene is so terrifying that Meng Tangtang can't watch it calmly as if watching a play.
She manipulated her ethereal body and floated directly to the woman named Mengchen, and looked at it carefully.
This eyebrow ...... This nose ...... It's almost the same facial features.
If not...... If it weren't for the fact that this woman's expression and demeanor were far from her own, she would really be scared awake.
Meng Tangtang let out a long sigh of relief - this woman named Mengchen just looked similar to herself.
"The King...... After all, there is still some spirit. After a long silence, the prime minister sighed faintly.
Mengchen walked up to the prime minister and knelt down respectfully: "Mengchen knows that this concubine position will not last long, and the king will definitely find an opportunity to 'depose' me in order to appease other princesses." Please rest assured, Mengchen will not be resentful of the king because of this matter, and Mengchen's heart towards the king will not change because of anything or anyone. β
The prime minister walked up slowly and helped Mengchen up: "You are a smart child, you should know what to do." β
Mengchen nodded and responded respectfully: "Huh." β
Mengtang Soup: ......
Meng Tangtang wanted to know what to do with this Mengchen.
So she floated behind Mengchen and followed her from the big and cold palace all the way to a palace that was not very luxurious, but very noble at first sight.
Taking advantage of the gap between Mengchen and Mingchen outside the palace gate, Meng Tangtang floated into the main hall one step ahead of her.
The man who sat in the temple...... Isn't that the Iceberg Emperor?
Assi~
Dream and serial?
Assi~
She Meng Tangtang could immediately recall the previous dream!
Almost in a flash of inspiration, she quickly connected the two dreams before and now.
It turned out that the poor bride was this dream dust.
This dream dust is also miserable enough, she was caught in the contradiction between the emperor and the prime minister, and she didn't know what she was doing it for?
"What are you looking for?"
The Iceberg Emperor deserves to be called an iceberg, and Meng Tangtang felt that the emperor's words made the entire hall cold by three points.
Mengchen, who was already kneeling under His Highness, leaned down and said respectfully: "The concubine is here to thank you." β
"Oh......?" The emperor smiled coldly, "If Concubine Ai really wants to thank you, then this 'grace' is also given to you by the prime minister." β
Mengchen slowly sat up straight, but still lowered his head: "The concubine came here at this time not to thank the 'concubine' for her grace, but to thank the king for the grace of 'not killing but degrading'." β
Hearing this, the Iceberg Emperor looked at His Highness, frowned slightly and asked, "...... Why? β
Mengchen replied respectfully: "The concubine committed a capital crime, but the king thought of the prime minister, so he only abolished the concubine's concubine position and demoted the concubine to a palace maid. β
The emperor smiled coldly again: "You...... What is the sin? β
Mengchen finally raised his head, his gaze shot straight at the emperor in the high hall, and said: "The concubine is jealous." β
Concubines are jealous.
When I heard these four words, whether it was Meng Tangtang who was watching the play, or the Iceberg Emperor who was the leading actor, they were all 'frightened'.
Meng Tangtang has always felt that ancient people would be more subtle, she didn't expect that this Mengchen, who was groveling a second ago, would dare to look at the emperor sitting in the hall so directly this second, and also boldly confessed his words.
She said: "Since we first met in the Prime Minister's Mansion three years ago, the concubine fell in love with the king at first sight. In the past three years, she has endured countless hardships and suffered countless crimes, but when Mengchen was chosen by the prime minister to be a righteous daughter, the concubine felt that everything in the past was worth it. The concubine desperately wants to come to the king's side, not for glory and wealth, nor for status, the concubine has nothing else to think about, the only thing she wants is to be able to accompany the king often, even if she can't share the king's worries, at least she can block the arrows for the king. β
"The concubine loves the king so deeply, how can she ...... Can you not be 'jealous'? β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Dreaming is like this, there is no previous text and there is not necessarily a follow-up, and that dream stays in that scene.
Later, Meng Tangtang neither continued to dream nor had other dreams, and she lost consciousness like that.
But until he woke up the next day, Meng Tangtang's mind still lingered with those affectionate eyes.
That love is as deep as the sea...... made her, an outsider, couldn't help but be moved.
As she brushed her teeth, she looked at herself in the mirror. Although they have almost the same eyes, they don't have that kind of look in her eyes, right?
Meng Tangtang has never understood why a person would 'fall in love at first sight' with a stranger, and why would he insist on loving him (her) so sincerely when he knows that the other party doesn't love you?
If she is this dream dust, she will definitely not take the lead in trapping herself deeply when the other party has not yet been tempted by herself.
