Chapter 38: Make an offer
Zheng Guogong listened to her, rubbing the chess pieces with his fingertips, as if he was very interested in this issue.
"Your Highness, tell me about it."
The girl wore a high bun and hairpins dotted among them, revealing the snow-white back of her neck.
The corners of her lips curved into a graceful arc, and she spoke unhurriedly, "Now that my father has no heirs, the ministers of the court and the central government have proposed to choose a son and nephew to be the prince in the royal family, I don't know what Uncle Zheng thinks?" ”
Zheng Guogong was speechless.
He knew the purpose of Meng Qing's visit.
The daughters born to Emperor Chu all want to be superior and refuse to be subservient.
Can be a woman......
After thinking about it carefully, he said bluntly: "The minister thinks that the prince of Jiayuan is very good, and he has the spirit of a benevolent monarch at a young age. ”
Meng Qing snorted lightly.
This is what she had expected, and there were people in the court, and there were also those who supported King Jin, and there were also those who supported the prince of Jiayuan.
But Jiayuan is only a seven-year-old child after all, if he is called the emperor and cannot govern himself, who should assist him in the end? The people who support the son of Jiayuan must be the Qingliu of the court or the royal nobles of the side branches, and their purpose is to promote their father and son to kill each other, and their hearts are extremely sinister!
Meng Qing said deliberately: "Why? Isn't King Jin more suitable than Jiayuan Shizi? ”
Zheng Guogong looked at the black and white chessboard, thought for a moment, and the chess pieces settled.
"Whether it is suitable or not, His Royal Highness knows better than the minister, and I am afraid that it will be too much to ask the minister the reason."
Today, when King Jin met Zheng Guogong, he must have come for Zheng Guogong's power, but looking at his words, he should not have talked about it.
Therefore, Meng Qing was even more unscrupulous.
"Uncle Zheng, the prince of Jiayuan is still young, and the important ministers in the court are ready to move, and he will not be able to pro-government in the future, which will definitely cause turmoil in the country, and in my opinion, he is not suitable."
But no matter what Meng Qing said, he was indifferent.
"What does His Highness want to say, please go back."
She looked at the situation on the chessboard with a headache and could only show her hole cards.
"I heard that Uncle Zheng likes to collect chessboards recently, especially the wooden painting red sandalwood chess game, I wonder if Uncle Zheng can want to see it?"
As she expected.
Zheng Guogong did show a surprised expression.
He was puzzled: "This chessboard...... In your hands? ”
Meng Qing nodded, "It's the old thing of the late Concubine Yue, she gave me as a dowry." ”
Zheng Guogong stared at her, and he had already seen through her.
"Make an offer."
It's really a wise man who doesn't speak code words.
Meng Qing bent his pure and clean eyes, quite heroic.
She said, "Offer? Uncle Zheng, this chessboard was specially brought to you by Qingqing from the palace. ”
“……”
Zheng Guogong's eyebrows and eyes are deep, like an old fox hiding in the shadows, unfathomable.
"Gift? There is nothing so good in the world. ”
Truly.
Meng Qing was unwilling to give such a precious thing unconditionally.
"I know that Uncle Zheng regards power and money as nothing, so he does what he likes, and I hereby offer this thing, if Uncle Zheng has made up his mind, it doesn't hurt if he doesn't want to negotiate too much with me, and please accept this thing, it will be regarded as a junior to express his feelings."
Retreat.
She called out the door, "Yunhe! ”
"The slave is here."
"Don't hurry up and present the chessboard."
"Yes."
After saying that, Yunhe asked someone to carry the chessboard together.
In just a stick of incense, Meng Qing also looked at Zheng Guogong's expression from time to time.
She gave Zheng Guogong enough time to think about it, hoping that he would think clearly about choosing a master, and this master was her.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and Yunhe called the attendant to bring the chessboard and place it lightly next to the two.
Zheng Guogong was also disdainful at first, until he saw the true face of the wooden painting rosewood chess game, he was shocked, and he didn't care about his manners, so he just said: "Wonderful!" Wonderful! ”
Meng Qing stood up and saluted, "This is a little bit of the junior's heart, and I also ask Uncle Zheng to smile." ”
Zheng Guogong didn't pay attention to her, stretched out his hand to caress it, and was addicted to this chessboard and couldn't extricate himself.
Meng Qing smiled and said, "It's not too early, it's time to go back to the palace, Uncle Zheng said goodbye." ”
She turned around and was about to go, not afraid that Zheng Guogong would do this, it was imperative.
Zheng Guogong caught a glimpse of the pale skirt, withdrew the shocked look in his eyes, and said, "Wait." ”
Meng Qing hooked her lips, looking like she had succeeded in her treacherous scheme.
She turned around and asked, "But what's wrong with the chessboard?" ”
Zheng Guogong raised his head and said solemnly: "No." ”
"That ......"
He changed his mind quickly.
In other words, he has never made up his mind about who he wants to support, but he just saw that Meng Qing was the most sincere and willing to listen to her.
"What His Highness said, the minister will consider one or two, and give His Highness an answer tomorrow."
Meng Qing was overjoyed after hearing this.
"Okay, then I'll wait in the palace for good news."
"Hmm."
Meng Qingfu left.
After leaving the Zhengguo Mansion, I planned to get in the car and go back to the palace.
As soon as he stepped on the steps, he saw a young man galloping over, his red robe fluttering in the wind, heroic and cool.
"Wait!"
Meng Qing narrowed his eyes and took a closer look.
The young man rode his horse and whipped up, and stopped with a long "hoo-" in front of the BMW incense car.
Meng Qing was quite surprised.
"Qi Yuan?"
Her inner os!
How is him again!
Some time ago, she just cheated him, and she went out of the palace today, and she happened to bump into such a living Hades!
Wrong!
Meng Yuan has left Beijing today, why is Qi Yuan still in the capital...... Didn't he go to the land of Yunnan with Meng Yu?
Forget it, let's run!
His mother is the eldest princess of Wenzhao, and she is a compatriot of the same mother as the King of Chu and Jin, and she is also her aunt......
As soon as Meng Qing said a word, he would lift the curtain and get into the carriage.
Seeing her hiding, Qi Yuan hurriedly jumped off the horse and stepped forward to grab her wrist.
Meng Qing was so annoyed that he couldn't shake him off after being pulled tightly, "Qi Yuan!" What are you crazy about? It's not enough to be demoted to Yunnan, do you still want to eat in prison? ”
Who knows, Qi Yuan refused to let go.
He said, "You misunderstood, I came today to apologize to you." ”
“……”
What?
Apologize?
Are you kidding!
Meng Qing thought he had misheard......
In her previous life, she had never heard of Qi Yuan saying "apology" to her.
She looked flustered.
"Dao, what are you sorry for?"
Qi Yuan nodded, his face was sincere and friendly, not as fierce as usual.
Meng Qing pursed his mouth and glanced at his strong and powerful palm, "You take it first, take it away!" ”
"As long as you don't run, I'll let go."
"Don't run, never run!"
She repeatedly promised.
Qi Yuan let go hesitantly.
"Meng Qing, you and I have been friends since childhood, but for the sake of Ah Yu over the years, I have always ignored your feelings, and I am sorry. I rushed into the palace to look for you that day, it was really abrupt, I should have found out the reason first, but I had a preconceived idea......"
Meng Qing held on to the roof of the car impatiently, "And then?" ”
The young man looked up and quietly saw her green silk fluttering, and her appearance was graceful and gentle.
