The matter of the Emperor wanting Jin Yi as his concubine had not even been spread out for an hour, and the news had already spread like wildfire. The emperor had no intentions of avoiding the crowd. Before the empress dowager could agree, he had his men escort his concubine to Cheng Gan Palace. Although Sun Hai took back the court uniform later, this time, the noble Yi completely stood at the heart of the struggle. When the Sun Moon Altar was being offered as an offering, since there was no queen or imperial concubine, the empress dowager would lead the imperial concubines and kowtow to them. When a noble and noble person dressed in a plum blossom gown appeared in front of everyone, they heard that the empress dowager had immediately changed her expression and left without a word.
No matter what, the Heavy Sun Worshiper was finally gone. Everything was fine, everything was fine.
However, it was hard to tell how many people had been nailed down.
Since the '99th' in the sun had a long 'melody,' wanting the old man to live for a long time and live for a long time ', after the Sun Moon Altar Sacrifice, the Emperor ordered the women of the middle third rank and above to kowtow to the Empress Dowager at the Palace of Zouan to give their greetings. The Empress Dowager then led them to the palace for a feast before heading to Mount Jinghuai to enjoy the flowers.
The day was so lively that it was hard to take in.
When it was finally afternoon and Yao Yue was admiring the flowers, her head felt heavy and her feet felt light. She was truly exhausted.
A large crowd of imperial concubines and imperial concubines crowded around the Empress Dowager, trying to get close enough to please her. The crowd in front of her was filled with laughter, and from time to time, there would be some people making fun of her to coax her into smiling. However, there was only Yao Yue standing far away, accompanied by Xiao Man, casually looking at the chrysanthemums.
She had put in a lot of effort today, so she didn't have the mind to deal with the elegance in front of her. Furthermore, she had never loved chrysanthemums, so the colorful colors that filled the sky didn't have much meaning to her.
More importantly, she still had the bag that the Emperor had given her that morning in her bosom.
She never opened it to see what was inside, but she remembered the look of the purse.
That was the year she first entered the palace as a palace maid. Yuan Shuo had spent twenty-six years and twenty-three years of her life as a palace maid. What was inside the bag was the longevity lock that the emperor had given the little prince when the imperial concubine was first pregnant.
Due to that silver lock, there had been quite a bit of trouble. The imperial concubine had been imprisoned in Cheng Gan Palace, and it was all thanks to her that she had been able to get out of this predicament.
She didn't open her purse, but she didn't dare open it. She was afraid that the things inside had never changed.
Yaoyue looked quite dispirited, with Xiao Man supporting her at the back. Although the palace had recently become an imperial concubine, very few people did not recognize her. Everyone knew that her body was weak, so when they saw how indifferent she was and how pale she was, no one cared.
While Yao Yue was thinking about this, she didn't notice a green clothed girl walking over. He walked straight in front of Yao Yue, blissfully saying, "Eleventh Prince, esteemed imperial concubine."
Being disturbed all of a sudden, Yao Yue felt a little uncomfortable. When he regained his senses, he looked up and saw a girl dressed in green palace clothing. Her appearance was delicate and exquisite and she looked to be around fifteen to sixteen years old. She was smiling happily at her, as if she was a stranger. She smiled apologetically as she tried to think of a way to address the green-clothed woman. She seemed to have guessed what she was thinking and said, "My concubine promised Lady Meng that she'd never seen my concubine before."
Meng clan? Yaoyue was stunned. She suddenly thought of Meng Caiwei. A pair of large eyes on her petite face seemed to be sparkling, and her words seemed to have a crisp tone to them. She should be a quick-witted person, and with this outfit on her, she was as fresh and tender as a flower bud on a spring day.
However, since she had taken the initiative to come forward to greet him, Yaoyue was not such a disrespectful person. In an instant, a smile appeared on her face, "I was away from the palace for a year and had just missed the twenty-nine years of talent show. Therefore, I'm not sure who she is, so please agree to Hai Han."
"What are you talking about, esteemed imperial concubine? Ever since I entered the palace, I've often heard people talk about the Empress and how good she is." "Now that I heard that the Empress had returned to the palace and took advantage of the heavy sun to admire the chrysanthemums, I boldly came to pay my respects. I hope that the Empress does not find this concubine's rudeness offensive."
Madam Meng smiled. Her voice was melodious and melodious, with a hint of innocence that could not be concealed. A pair of large eyes blinked in a very charming manner. "The Empress may not know of concubines, but if concubines' cousins are mentioned, they will definitely know. Your concubine's name is Fen Wei, and your concubine's older cousin is Meng Caiwei, whom Yuanshuo has betrothed to the Eleventh Prince for twenty-nine years.
Yaoyue paused. It really was Meng Caiwei.
Yao Yue's gaze seemed to sweep around the Meng Family's face. I've heard that Meng Caiwei's elegance and elegance are extraordinary. She shouldn't be as lively and lively as Meng Fwei.
It was a good thing that Meng Caiwei was betrothed to the prince. However, her luck was bad, so she chased away God and the imperial concubine. Since the Emperor had no intention to formally betroth her to a marriage, Meng Caiwei was detained at home. Her father was a fourth-grade Supervisor, and now that he was working with You Xin, was it possible that the Meng family had come to her side to confirm Meng Caiwei's status as a secondary wife due to Meng Yuan's praise?
Thinking of this, Yao Yue's expression remained the same. However, her tone was a bit more amiable, "If you say it like this, then I've heard that there is such a thing. But now that the prince is filial, I have to trouble Miss Meng."
"Empress, quickly don't say that. The concubine's cousin had been praised as a jewel by her uncle since childhood, and had to be carefully instructed by her aunt. She also knew how to read poetry and understand etiquette. Since she was already a member of His Highness the Prince, not to mention merely twenty-seven months, even if she had to wait three to five years, her cousin would still be willing. Moreover, the Eleventh Prince has always had the reputation of being a chivalrous hero and the most heroic of men. Moreover, the Empress was also so modest and amiable. Madame Meng smiled mischievously as she leaned towards Yaoyue, "When the Empress sees a concubine, she knows that the concubine has an unstable personality, and is the most childish of concubines. She must think that the concubine is the same as the concubine. "A concubine's cousin is as different as the heavens and earth from a concubine. She's so quiet and dignified that she abides by the rules."
From the start to the end, Meng Fwei had a smile that was almost like that of an innocent home, as if she was still the charming young miss of her family. There wasn't anything forbidden about her. For a while, Yaoyue didn't have any bad feelings towards her. Hearing her say that she had a 'child's temperament', she couldn't help but laugh, "Seeing how she promised to laugh like this, it really makes me envious. To me, the people who like to smile the most are the people. "
"Really?" Meng Fwei blinked before her expression softened. "To tell you the truth, the reason why I came to visit you today is because I have a matter that I need your help with." The imperial concubine also knew what had happened when her concubine cousin was accused of marriage. The emperor had never ordered her to do so, and her cousin was currently at home, feeling extremely awkward. Unfortunately, her cousin's personality was stubborn and stubborn. She said that since the imperial edict was filed with the prince, she was still a member of the prince's faction, so no matter what, she wasn't willing to make any other plans. His concubine had been closest to his cousin since she was young. There were reports from the palace that his cousin had lost a lot of weight because of this matter, and his aunt was even more upset. What was even more hateful was that vile villain who kept spouting rumors to slander his cousin! "As soon as I entered the palace, my concubine consented to be a lowly person, not being able to speak at all. Therefore, my concubine wishes to ask the imperial concubine for her help and see what her Majesty plans are for her cousin."
As Lady Meng said this, she looked at Yao Yue with a pleading expression. Her pair of watery eyes flashed with traces of tears, causing people to be reluctant to part with her. Although Yaoyue had guessed it earlier, she never expected her to say it so bluntly. After a moment of silence, she faintly opened her mouth, "I am also aware of the matter that I promised to say. Although the Emperor had issued an imperial decree, no decree had been passed down, and the crown prince's estate had never prepared any. Now that he had the filial piety of a prince, it was really inappropriate to bring up this matter at this time. "But I believe that His Majesty must have his own plans. It would be better to promise to wait patiently, and perhaps there will be an outcome very soon."
Yaoyue's rejection was very cryptic, so Meng Fen naturally understood, but Lady Meng wasn't annoyed, nor was there any unhappiness in her expression. She only nodded her head heavily, feeling a little wronged, "My concubine also knows that my concubine brought this matter up abruptly, but Cousin Gu can't bear to see her suffer. "The concubine doesn't understand the rules like this, so I beg the empress not to blame the concubine."
Seeing that she was being 'sincere' in such a way, she couldn't bear to refuse. "I have long heard of Miss Meng's talent. Since the emperor dotes on the prince, I am also very happy to have such a beautiful woman as my prince's companion. The reason why the decree never came down was probably because the period of filial piety for the prince had yet to pass. The Emperor was the most benevolent person. Why would he treat Miss Meng in such a manner? "Whether I agree to it or wait patiently, there will always be a conclusion regarding this matter."
"Yes, the Empress is indeed considerate." Yes, the Empress is considerate.
Lady Meng's tears turned into smiles as she said with a bright face, "Then concubine shall not disturb the Empress. If there's a chance in the future, I'll come and talk to the Empress again. I hope that the Empress will not despise the stupidity of the concubine."
After idly chatting for a bit, the Meng family happily withdrew. As Yaoyue watched her figure leave, the look in her eyes gradually became indifferent again.
The position of Meng Yuan's praise was a very special position. Above it was the chief inspector's history, the head of the official. If one caught an official, they would be able to grab the throat of the imperial government. On the other hand, Meng Yuanzhang was old-fashioned and conservative, but he had a lot of dignity. His literary talent was even more extraordinary. He had been in the Metropolitan Investigation Department for many years, and he had been a great figure since the day he impeached the officials. The emperor had always valued him, which was why he was able to teach such a dignified daughter to him. It had to be said that the Emperor had arranged for the Meng family to marry You Xin for other reasons.
However, the problem was that she didn't know if the Emperor still wanted You Xin to succeed the throne.
If she still wanted to help, she would try her best to help the Meng Family enter the prince's residence. If she didn't, it would be a dilemma for her.
The future of politics will be roughly tripled.
I have heard that the Emperor promoted You Min to the office of Minister of Justice; that You Jin was still Minister of the Military Department, the Chief Secretary of the State, and the Minister of the Palace and Mansion; and that You Xin was a censor, a fourth rank official.
You Min She didn't have to think about it, and it didn't matter, but what about You Jin and You Xin?
She could not help you suppress your voice, nor could she watch it die on its own.
It was one thing for you to have no interest in the throne, at least until now. But then what?
What would she do if he thought about it?
Meng Caiwei's life was in the hands of the Emperor. Unless the Emperor decreed it, she wouldn't be able to go anywhere. The Emperor might seem indifferent now, but according to her understanding of the Emperor, under his appearance, he was absolutely not so simple! Then to the emperor, Meng Caiwei was an extremely powerful flag. Besides, You Jin had already warned the Emperor that if the Emperor did not plan on marrying Meng Caiwei to You Xin, he could take her as his concubine.
Since it wasn't an order, what was there to be afraid of?
However, the problem was that he had listened to You Jin's advice and sent Meng Caiwei back to the Meng Clan.
Wasn't this obviously admitting Meng Zaiwei's identity as the one she wanted to marry? Otherwise, how could he send her out of the palace?
The space between her eyebrows unconsciously wrinkled, causing Yao Yue to feel a burst of irritation. She didn't care whether or not he helped Monfway, but what she cared about was the emperor's opinion, and the direction the empire would take. She and You Xin and You Jin were already like grasshoppers on the same rope. They were both rich and prosperous, and both of them had suffered great losses. She could not be sentimental, nor could she worry about herself.
Perhaps, the matter regarding Meng Caiwei was just a small touchstone.
