Jiang Luping is leaving. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meng Yu sent her outside the city. Although Jiang Luping's goods in Beiyan had been cleared, Meng Yu still hired a car for Jiang Luping, mainly to load the gifts and various local products prepared by the Meng Mansion for the Jiang family. And Xiao Zhengyi also sent a lot of things to apologize for his son.
The family drove the car, and the two people came to the outside of the city.
When you see the city, you are about to go on the main road. It was already summer, and the two rows of willow trees on the roadside hung down thousands of branches, covering two rows of green shadows, stretching into the distance. Meng Yu smiled: "Sister, don't ride a horse when you go back." ”
Jiang Luping asked puzzledly, "Why?"
Meng Yu smiled and said, "Take the carriage." Doesn't my sister think she should enjoy some peace on the way back?"
After that, he took out another letter: "The letter asks my sister to forward it to Jiang Zhan." I scolded him in the letter and told him that my sister was not allowed to run around again in the future. In fact, let my sister experience so many dangers together this time, Meng Yu was also very unhappy. ”
Jiang Luping took the letter, put it away, and said gloomily: "You don't blame Jiang Zhan for this, let alone the eldest brother." I go out for a run, maybe I can forget a lot of my worries. ”
After that, she listened to Meng Yu's words, jumped into the carriage, beckoned to Meng Yu, and lowered the curtain.
Meng Yu watched the carriage go away, and at the same time he couldn't let go of the case, he couldn't let go of the Jiang family.
The emperor has been sullen for the past two days. was taught a lesson by Meng Dingguo, and when he heard that his internal supervisor heard that his uncle intended to marry his cousin to Xiao Meng, he was even more angry.
On this trip, he only brought Queen Shen Duanhua, and did not bring other concubines. I thought that when I arrived in Xiyuzhou, I could select some outstanding-looking northern women to enter the palace, and those warblers and swallows in the palace were really a little tired after watching them for a long time. Besides, he originally planned to accept Meng Xue as a concubine as soon as he arrived in Xiyuzhou, at least the new favorite concubine would be fresh for a while.
He originally thought that by accepting Meng Xue, he could not only embrace this famous beauty into his arms, but also curry favor with his uncle, and kiss him, so that the previous festival would not be revealed? Five years ago, he had to ask his uncle to come back, but his uncle was unceremonious, and although he supervised Xiyuzhou, he once again took over the military and political power of the national dynasty. And he is not as laissez-faire to himself as before, and he is also in charge of the people he trusts. Now that my cousin didn't make it, but she provoked my uncle, the emperor was upset for a while, and although the queen persuaded him, he couldn't let go.
He lazily leaned on the dragon collapse, leaning on the two soft satin pillows stacked up, and the yellow silk was about to slide down when he was put on his body.
At this time, a palace maid silently came in to deliver tea. Approached the front and said cautiously: "Emperor, please use tea." ”
The emperor tilted his chin silently, and the movement was so subtle that it was almost indiscernible.
The palace maid put the tea on the desk along with the tray, and was about to kneel down, when she suddenly saw that Huang Aya had almost slid to the ground. walked over quietly, picked up the quilt, and gently put it on the emperor.
The emperor was shocked and looked at the little palace maid with hazy eyes.
She was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a simple bun, a pink silk flower on her sideburns, and a pale pink shirt on her body. White and delicate face, eyebrows lightly swept, a pair of clear water and apricot eyes, lips are not painted but vermilion, and the posture is delicate and pleasant.
The emperor said "um" in his heart, this palace maid didn't seem to have seen it in the capital before, but her appearance and temperament were somewhat similar to Meng Xue somewhere, probably because of her quiet and calm attitude.
The emperor sat up: "Why haven't I seen you before?"
The palace maid said timidly: "I am from Xiyuzhou, Sister Yueqing is newly selected, and I just let the slave maid take the sick Sister Yueming." ”
The emperor whispered: "Wu Yueqing will choose people." ”
Wu Yueqing is the most favored female official around the emperor, in addition to qualifications, the power is actually about the same as Liu Cheng, and she can touch the emperor's mind the most.
The emperor suddenly became interested: "What's your name?"
The palace maid hurriedly knelt down again: "Slave maid Du Yueying." ”
This is also the queen's idea, the palace maids around the emperor, in addition to their own surnames, the first word of their names are taken from the word moon. The palace maids in the queen's palace all take the word "jade", and the other palaces are the same. So as long as you sign up, you will know which house you are in on an errand.
The emperor looked at Du Yueying's timid appearance, suddenly grabbed her hand, and said with a smile: "Don't retreat, stay here and serve me for a nap." ”
At this time, Wu Yueqing was eavesdropping outside the hall, and Liu Cheng walked over and didn't find it.
"Steward Wu! Why didn't the most powerful person in front of the emperor go in and fall outside the palace to listen to the sound?"
Wu Yueqing was startled, and knew that it was Liu Cheng without looking back. She turned around: "What does Gonggong Liu do to scare people." The emperor is resting, how dare Yueqing disturb. ”
Liu Cheng laughed dryly: "In this emperor and queen's palace, when does Steward Wu not enter when he wants to, why do you ...... today?"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard the emperor say inside: "Someone!"
Liu Cheng glanced at Wu Yueqing, Wu Yueqing was afraid that Liu Cheng would be suspicious, so he had to take a half step back: "Father-in-law Liu go in!"
Liu Cheng glanced at her, stepped into the hall, and saluted the emperor.
The emperor told Liu Cheng: "Go and get ten brocades, tattoo one hundred taels of silver, and reward Du Yueying." ”
Liu Cheng secretly looked up and saw that the emperor was holding the hand of a pretty little palace maid and looking at her with affection.
Liu Cheng replied yes, bowed down and agreed, and saw that Wu Yueqing was still listening outside, so he said hatefully: "Which one wants to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, and you recommended her with silver in front of you, right?"
Wu Yueqing smiled: "Father-in-law is not angry, this is better than looking at the emperor and sighing." Isn't my father-in-law the most loyal to the emperor?"
Liu Cheng hated and said: "You ...... Presumably coming out of the capital, you have planned it. ”
Wu Yueqing smiled lightly: "It's the queen's mother who planned it, Yueqing is just choosing an emperor who can have a heart." Otherwise, if you make a big black one, aren't you and I going to lose our heads?"
Liu Cheng said coldly: "Steward Wu has all kinds of recommendations, and he has also received a lot of silver, no wonder your brother is in the capital, and the house is more luxurious than the family of a first-class master." ”
Wu Yueqing sighed: "Don't talk nonsense, Lord Steward, we are all the same loyal to the emperor." With that, he twisted his waist and walked away in relief.
Liu Cheng looked at her back hatefully: "There is no good thing!"
"Father-in-law Liu, what are you talking about?" Liu Cheng looked up and saw that it was Meng Yu.
Liu Cheng was a little surprised when he saw it: "How could Meng Gongzi suddenly enter the palace, and the emperor summoned him? ”
Meng Yu smiled and looked back and forth: "It's strange, it's not summoned by the emperor." It's the Queen's Mother. ”
