There was a faint yellow light in the goose-yellow tent.

The Meng Clan laid obediently by the side of the Emperor. Their eyes were wide open as they would occasionally look at the man beside them who had already fallen asleep.

In fact, she was feeling quite puzzled. The Emperor did not seem to be planning on doing anything with her. It was as if he had summoned her here tonight and was just changing places to sleep.

He couldn't help but feel sad. The man beside her had a very pleasant smell, similar to the ambergris, but it was much more elegant than the ambergris. She smelled too much. After a while, the sadness in her heart gradually faded.

Since he was going to sleep tonight, he might as well. After bidding her good night in her heart, the corners of Lady Meng's mouth curled up slightly, and she wanted to close her eyes. At this moment, the man beside him suddenly spoke up, "What, can't sleep?"

The Meng family was shocked. They turned their heads and the emperor slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was clear and bright.

So it turned out that he hadn't fallen asleep yet.

With an indiscernible line between her eyebrows, Lady Meng gave a wry smile. "No," she said, looking up at the emperor. "The emperor can't sleep either."

Helian Jia did not speak immediately. She just stared at the ceiling without saying anything. After a long time, he finally said, "Perhaps I'm getting old."

"The emperor isn't old," Madame Meng became anxious and simply turned around, as if the emperor had said it was her. "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask your noble sister. Your servant guarantees that she won't say anything about Your Majesty!"

Helian Jia was stunned. "Big sister?" As he thought about it, he guessed a few things, "A noble person?"

"That's right, your noble sister is with the emperor every day. She has more time to look at the emperor than she has when she's a servant." "The Emperor doesn't believe me, but he will definitely believe big sister."

The Meng Clan's voice was soft and had a hint of flirtatiousness to it. Helian Jia relaxed a bit in her heart, as she didn't intend to mind her 'childish words', "How do you know that I am with your distinguished self every day?"

The Emperor's tone was slightly indifferent, causing the Meng Clan to be alarmed. The Meng family subconsciously wrinkled their nose, not daring to open their mouth. Helian Jia turned her head and saw that she wanted to say something but didn't dare to. She couldn't help but smile. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Madam Meng hesitated, feeling a burst of regret in her heart! Why couldn't he control his mouth? Where does the emperor go every day? Is this something a concubine like me can ask? As he thought of this, the Meng Clan became filled with fear and trepidation. Your Majesty … This servant is useless! "Your servant didn't mean that, your servant …"

Meng Family was at a loss for words. The more they wanted to explain, the more nervous they became. However, the more nervous they were, the more they couldn't say anything. Seeing her anxious look, Helian Jia 'kindly' interrupted her explanation. "You are allowed to be so presumptuous tonight. Speak!"

With the emperor's permission, the Meng family let out a long breath, and in the blink of an eye, wore a smile on their faces. Usually, when a servant heard that a noble's elder sister was doted on by the emperor, he would often stroll around the imperial gardens with his other elder sisters. He often saw his elder sisters come to the palace, saying that they were there to accompany the emperor. At that time, the servant's heart was filled with envy, thinking how great it would be if the servant could be like the noble elder sister, always accompanying the emperor. Perhaps it was because the impression from that time was too deep, this servant always felt that the emperor was with his precious elder sister every day. "This servant knows that her imagination is wrong about the emperor and her precious elder sister. This servant is wrong, please forgive me, your majesty."

With that, Lady Meng looked eagerly at the emperor, her eyes carrying hints of pleading. Helian Jia raised the corner of her lips as she carelessly asked, "What, is it so good to be together with me every day?"

This was probably what all concubines thought! Helian Jia's eyes became colder and the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more unstable. Unfortunately, Lady Meng didn't realize that she was still lost in her own thoughts. "Your majesty, according to the popular saying, a servant is a concubine, and your majesty is the servant's husband. Family and music can be together every day, have high school, have children, is the common people the most practical idea. This servant naturally cannot avoid such a vulgarity. "

"However, this servant also knows that this palace is different from the rest of the people. Although the Emperor is the husband of this servant, he is also the master of this world. If even the concubines in this palace have a character as young as a servant's, then the Emperor will be exhausted! Thus, from then on, this servant no longer had such thoughts. Actually, playing with your sisters is also very interesting. "

Helian Jia was startled. He subconsciously looked over at the Meng Clan. The look of disappointment on the Meng Clan's face disappeared. Although it was fast, he had still caught it. It was clearly still childish, yet he still acted as if he was an adult. It was quite comical. However, Helian Jia's heart was filled with fog.

"Who taught you all this?" The emperor's voice couldn't help but be slightly hoarse. Meng family's rule was to lower their eyes and say, "It's this servant's father. This servant was the only daughter in the family, and had been held in the hands of his mother and father since childhood. Father said that I was spoiled when I was at home. If I didn't teach you some rules and sent you to the palace, you would only have the white hair of your parents. "Before this servant entered the palace, father specifically asked a mama to teach me for a long time. It's a pity that this servant is mischievous, and is under father's tutelage."

At the end of her sentence, the little girl could not help but choke as she thought of her parents at home. However, his mind was still clear, and he knew that this was before the time of the monarch, so he deliberately suppressed it. Helian Jia stared at her blankly. In the end, she let out a complicated sigh and pulled Madam Meng into her embrace.

"It's your fortune to have parents like them."

"The Emperor taught me that this servant feels the same."

"The song we sang during the day, let's sing it again."

"Hmm, your servant's singing isn't good. Your majesty, don't tease me." "Good for Jiangnan, good for Jiangnan, green silk ribbon of the jade-green silver flowers. The river water like blue flowers like fire, the horizon cloud like which family. Jiangnan good, Jiangnan good, plain clothes embroidered lilac color. Don't worry about that good family by the lake. The red letter Zhang Jinzhong wrote, "I hope that my husband will return soon."

On the 20th of October, the Emperor personally issued an imperial decree praising the Overwatch History of Meng Yuan for teaching his daughter well. He proposed that Meng Caiwei be married to the eleventh son of the Emperor as a secondary wife, and once the period of filial piety was over, they would immediately get married.

The imperial edict was taken by Yaoyue and You Xin at the Palace of Shouan. Yaoyue still maintained her faint smile, gentle and virtuous. It was just that You Xin did not look surprised at all. It was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.

Yao Yue subconsciously felt uneasy.

She had asked for the decree of marriage. Even though You Xin had agreed, and given the circumstances, even if she hadn't asked for it, the Emperor would still have married Meng Ziwei to You Xin. However, seeing You Xin being so indifferent today, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

After receiving the imperial edict, the empress dowager was obviously happy. In addition, the emperor and other nobles had been behaving obediently these days. At this point in time, her opinion of Yaoyue had become a bit more pleasing. Although this wedding date was due to wait for twenty-seven months of filial piety, now that there was an imperial edict, the prince's mansion had to first gift them a betrothal gift. Since the Meng Family was a side concubine, the job they were hired for naturally fell to Yaoyue.

The empress dowager's instructions were exceptionally meticulous. She was afraid that Yaoyue would be the one to ruin this matter, so she spoke a bit too much. However, this was indeed the first time Yao Yue did such a thing. If one was to be more careful, it was only natural.

Just as Yaoyue was listening intently, a palace maid walked in from outside and half-squatted in front of the empress dowager. "To reply esteemed empress dowager, the fourth prince and fourth prince's consort have come to pay their respects."

Yaoyue's hand tightened, and she couldn't help but hold her breath. It was the empress dowager who smiled at him and said, "What a coincidence, come in."

Just as he finished speaking, a light footstep sounded outside and You Jin and Zhi Qiu entered the inner hall one after the other.

"Grandson (Chenqie) greets Royal Grandmother. Royal Grandmother Wan An."

Yao Yue looked at the two people kneeling in front of her, her eyes filled with uneasiness. And the pain in his heart.

She kept dodging, but she still had to face Su Zhiqiu. In the end, she had stolen her man and her happiness.

The empress dowager chuckled, sparing the two of them the courtesy. The two of them sat across from Yao Yue, and You Xin and Yao Yue stood up to greet him. With a gentle smile, Zhi Qiu looked at Yao Yue with gratified eyes, "Sister is back."

As if a needle had been stabbed into her heart, Yaoyue lowered her eyes, laughing in a dishonest manner. Everyone sat down again, and the empress dowager smiled at You Jin, her face filled with happiness. "Why have you come to pay respects?" Don't tell me you've heard some good news. "

You Jin didn't seem to be in a bad mood. He just looked at You Xin with a gentle expression. On the other hand, Zhi Qiu seemed to be unaware of the situation. She followed You Jin's gaze to look at You Xin, puzzled but at the same time unfamiliar. When the empress dowager saw her act this way, she smiled. "Why? Does Imperial Concubine Qing not know? The Emperor has bestowed the daughter of the Overseer, the Meng Family, to Little Eleven to be his side wife. He only has to wait for the mourning period to end before he can get married. "

A chill snaked up her fingers, numbing her heart.

However, it was only a moment before He Qiu smiled gently and turned to You Xin. "Brother Eleven, congratulations."
