The news that Meng Jingxian was rejected by King Guojun spread throughout the capital within a few days, and for a while, she became the laughing stock of the capital, and because she prides herself on being high on weekdays, she never interacts with her female dependents, and now everyone is willing to step on it. However, these are not what Meng Jingxian cares about, what she cares about is what King Guojun said in the palace.

"The prince said that if you are not a beloved, you will never be ......a wife" Meng Jingxian sat in front of the dresser in despair, looking at herself in the mirror in a daze, her heart suddenly ached, and she cried sadly, "He really fell in love with Zhen Huan......"

The maidservant who served her was distressed, and she was also upset: "Miss has been with the prince for many years, and she has done so many things for the prince, but all her efforts have been in vain?" At the end of the day, it's chilling to be occupied by a dove with broken shoes! ”

As soon as the words landed, I heard the grandmother outside the door report that the king of Guojun had come to make amends.

Meng Jingxian wiped her tears, tidied up her makeup, and was about to get up and go to the front hall.

"Are you still going?" Duchess Meng Guo's voice suddenly sounded, stopping Meng Jingxian's footsteps, "For so many years, you have been bent on King Guojun, but now you have ended up with such an ending, why bother to bring shame on yourself?" Do you have to hear those words from his mouth before you want to die? ”

"Mother, when you insisted on marrying your father, weren't you like this moth to the fire?" Meng Jingxian didn't look back at her, but said coldly, "I am your daughter, so naturally I have the same temperament as you." ”

"You don't know how to turn around until you have to break your head, so it's up to you." Duchess Meng Guo laughed self-deprecatingly, turned and left.

Meng Jingxian held back the tears in her eyes, took a deep breath, swallowed back the breath that was stuck in her chest, and then took a step towards the front hall.

"Lord, the minister has only such a daughter, held in the palm of her hand since she was a child, regarded as a pearl, fell in love with you at first sight when she was a child, and has been by your side since then, saddle up and play for you. She is weak, but whenever the prince speaks, she always disregards her own body, and every time she does things beautifully and satisfactorily, although the minister is distressed, she can't stop her. Meng Guogong's voice was old but calm, "All along, the minister thought that the prince and the little girl were already in love, so they acquiesced to this family affair, but now, the queen mother wants to give marriage, and the prince does not hesitate to annoy the queen mother to refuse to marry, the minister really doesn't know what he means, and asks the prince to answer." ”

King Guojun's voice came out a little unreally, and it pierced Meng Jingxian's heart: "It was this king who failed Jing Xian, but since one thing knows that it is wrong, it should be corrected in time, it is precisely because this king pities Jing Xian and can't bear her loneliness and misery in the second half of her life, that this king opens his mouth to refuse to marry." He paused and continued, "This king already has a heart, and he really can't drag Jingxian anymore, and I ask Grandpa Guo to be considerate." ”

Meng Jingxian gasped and covered her mouth with tears falling like rain.

"Lord, those who seek great things should not be confined to the love of their children, dare to ask if the person who is in love with the prince can help the prince to become a great treasure like a minister?" Meng Guogong's voice was a little angry, "As long as the prince agrees, marry Jingxian and get started, the minister is willing to be loyal to the prince and help the prince complete the great cause of a thousand years." ”

The hall was silent for a while before the voice of King Guojun sounded: "This king has decided to give up the plan to seize the throne, and only be a free prince in the future, live an idle life, the prince of the country has a heart, but this king has no intention." ”

"Lord Wang!" Meng Jingxian let out a sad voice, she walked in from outside the door, looked at King Guojun, and was full of pain, "For her, did the prince even give up the great cause?" After so many years of forbearance and deployment, just because of a woman, the prince said he didn't want it? So what am I? After so many years of getting along and companionship, what is it? ”

She didn't have such an impulsive and emotional temper, but at this moment, Meng Jingxian really couldn't help it. If the prince then sits in that position, she can be a concubine, but she must not accept it, the prince gave up his years of hard work for Zhen Huan, and among them, there is also her hard work.

The prince abandoned his ambitions, and by the way, also abandoned her sincerity to him.

"Jingxian, I'm sorry." King Guojun just looked at Meng Jingxian fixedly, however, the determination in his eyes said it all.

Meng Jingxian almost fell under her feet, she didn't want to believe it, shook her head, tears fell one by one, her hand tightly pinched the placket on her chest, and it took a long time to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and raised her head and said: "Lord Wang, she is not worthy of you to do this for her, time will prove all this...... It's just me who really likes the prince...... Jingxian can wait, waiting for the day when the prince turns back......"

"Jingxian!"

Meng Jingxian's eyes darkened, her body fell softly, and the sharp pain from her heart made her fall into endless darkness.

Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan, I should have been wary of you a long time ago!

"A poor man, too." After An Lingrong learned that Meng Jingxian was ill, he sighed lightly and disappeared, "Is Sister Mei okay recently?" ”

Cardamom nodded and said, "Since Concubine Hui moved to Broken Yuxuan, the emperor hasn't seen her much, even Princess Haoyue has seen less, and only occasionally sends some things over." Yesterday, Concubine Hui had a dream at night, and the emperor asked Imperial Doctor Wen to see a doctor after knowing about it, but he only said that he was overthinking and it was no big deal. ”

"Overthinking." An Lingrong repeated in a low voice, looking at the dazzling sunlight outside the window, "It's summer again......

"As soon as summer arrives, I panic, thinking that summer is past autumn, and the matter of Huan'er leaving the palace seems to be in front of me again, I watched her suffer, but there was no way at all." Shen Meizhuang sat on the soft couch in the east side hall, looking at the door of Broken Yuxuan from a distance, I don't know whether to say it to Wen Shichu or to himself, "It was like this before, and it will still be like this in the future." ”

"Huan'er is all right outside, don't worry." Wen Shichu said slowly.

Shen Meizhuang tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a light smile: "I always say yes, in fact, I know that she is not good, but you comfort me." I also know that when you see her bad, your heart will be even more sad. She raised her eyes and glanced at Wen Shichu, piercing his careful thoughts, "It's just that you also have to pay attention to proportion, although Huan'er is now abolished, but in the end, she went out of the palace, and adults can only be people who cherish flowers and protect flowers, not the owners of flowers." ”

"Wechen is terrified." Wen Shichu hurriedly lowered his head, and after a pause, he continued, "Niangniang now lives in the East Side Hall of Broken Jade Xuan, right Huan...... Don't worry about the lady day and night, which leads to excessive worry, insomnia and less sleep, Weichen will open a prescription, after the mother eats, she may be able to sleep better at night. ”

"I'm sorry for you." Shen Meizhuang nodded at him, "It's hard for you, running inside and outside the palace, this kindness of Lord Wen has been recorded in this palace." ”

"Weichen also has his own selfishness, and if Niangniang says this, it is to torture Weichen." Wen Shichu hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "I heard Caiyue say, Niangniang has occasionally coughed after nightfall recently, Weichen stewed rock sugar loquat, Niangniang let's go in some." ”

Shen Meizhuang watched Wen Shichu take out a bowl of rock sugar loquat soup from the medicine box, nodded and smiled: "You have a heart." ”

Wen Shichu's head moved, and he bowed and knelt down: "Weichen retired." ”

The days passed day by day, An Lingrong's belly also grew day by day, and after the closure period of the noble Jin and the noble Wan expired, the palace became lively again.

"The noble people are getting more and more favored, even the concubine has to be behind!" Cardamom said while picking beans, "The emperor has only been in the harem for ten days a month, and eight or nine days are spent sleeping by noble people, and the noble Jin is so angry that he can't do it, but he can't do anything about it." She lowered her voice and leaned over to An Lingrong, "I heard that Long Keduo was imprisoned by the emperor, and the Tong family has gone, and the nobles of Jin are so panicked that they have no way out." ”

An Lingrong pursed his lips and smiled lightly, turned his head to look at the Shun nobleman who was sitting embroidering under the corridor, and said slowly: "The Tong family mansion will fall, and your great revenge will also be avenged, and it will be the Midyear Festival in a few days, take this opportunity to talk to your Langjun, it's time to look at it." ”

"Thank you, mother." There were tears in the eyes of the Shun nobles, and he got up and bowed to An Lingrong.

An Lingrong smiled at her, turned his head and motioned for Cardamom to continue.

Cardamom Fu talked about the trivial matters in the palace again: "The third elder brother has been studying harder and harder recently......"

"The third elder brother has been studying harder and harder recently, and the emperor praised him yesterday!" Concubine Qi thanked the queen with a spring breeze on her face, "In the end, the mother still has a way to change the master for the third elder brother, which is much better than the previous one." ”

The queen pursed her lips quietly and took a sip of tea, and glanced at her: "The third elder brother is the eldest son of the emperor, of course the palace values her, but it's you, your position is so noble, why bother targeting the noble people again and again?" In vain. She is now the emperor's favorite, if she is pregnant, she can be sealed as a concubine immediately, and you should get along with her well. ”

Concubine Qi's face was bitter, and she couldn't help but babble again: "How could the concubine ever want to deal with the noble people, but the concubine is the biological mother of the third elder brother after all, how can she not help the third elder brother?" Please be safe this morning, she ridiculed the third elder brother for not being smart, and she is not as good as the fourth elder brother everywhere......"

"You gave birth to the third elder brother, and Bengong also watched him grow up, and Bengong loves him no less than you." The queen glared at Concubine Qi not very happily, as if she was the only one who hurt the third elder brother.

Concubine Qi didn't realize that she had said it, and she was secretly sad: "The concubine knows that she is old and decrepit, and the emperor no longer loves the concubine, but it doesn't matter if the concubine falls out of favor, but the third elder brother is the emperor's eldest son after all!" ”

The queen was poked in the sore spot, and her skin tightened on the ground.

She is older than Concubine Qi, and Concubine Qi claims to be old and decrepit, isn't that implying that she is older as a queen? couldn't help but be annoyed for three points, but he still spoke patiently: "You are an old man who serves the emperor, how can the emperor not love you?" The third elder brother is the only adult prince in the emperor, even if the prince born to Concubine Rong can't catch up with the third elder brother. ”

Concubine Qi was still indignant, and when the queen saw that she didn't eat oil and salt, she was also patient, and said angrily: "If you really can't see it, you can do it yourself to smooth the way forward for the third elder brother, don't say these useless things in front of the palace." ”

"Niangniang......" Concubine Qi wanted to say more, but was impatiently sent to her knees by the queen, and she couldn't, so she could only get up and leave Jingren Palace.

On the way, I met Fang Chunyi and Hu Guiren fluttering butterflies in the imperial garden, and the two laughed and saluted Concubine Qi.

These two little girls who had not grown in the eyes of Concubine Qi casually shook their handkerchiefs and asked them to get up: "I'm still playing outside on such a hot day, beware of tanning." ”

"Hu Guiren was so bored that she had nowhere to go, so the concubine took her out for a walk, and she would go back later." Fang Chunyi smiled childishly, "Concubine Qi is from the queen's side?" Yesterday, the queen made a new chestnut cake, but it was delicious, and the mother had tasted it? ”

"You're a gluttonous cat, you want to eat all day long." Concubine Qi was infected by her smile, and couldn't help laughing, "You two follow the palace back to Changchun Palace and sit down, the chestnut cake will also be made in the palace, and I will make it for you to taste later." ”

Fang Chunyi pulled Hu Guiren and happily followed Concubine Qi.

However, what Concubine Qi didn't know was that she had already lured the wolf into the room.
