After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 149 So, where is Luo Hong?

Meng Qianqian thought to herself, I was not prepared and the horse started running. You can't blame me.

Meng Qianqian lowered her head and looked at his hands around her waist.

Forget it, he definitely didn't mean it, it would be hypocritical to say it.

One of the shortcuts Lu Yuan took her to was an old street near Fangshi, which she would pass by on her way back.

"Grand Governor."

"do what?"

"Can you go to the market? I want to buy some new story books for the old lady."

There are indeed many story books in the market, and they are much more exciting than those sold in study halls outside.

Lu Yuan hummed casually.

It seems that Lu Yuan also knows Fangshi, that place is quite famous.

Meng Qianqian said softly: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

Soon, they arrived at the east entrance of the old street. After passing through the old street, they reached Fangshi at the end.

Lu Yuan tightened the reins and stopped the horse.

Meng Qianqian said: "Grand Governor, Fangshi is in front."

"I know," Lu Yuan said calmly, "Let's go get something to eat first. Your stomach is growling all the time and it's so noisy."

Meng Qianqian touched her belly and realized later that they were too busy chasing Zhang Feihu and had not eaten dinner.

But was her stomach really growling all the way?

Gulu~

Her stomach growled again.

Meng Qianqian was embarrassed.

The old street is a bustling street, but the blue brick floor has some potholes, making it difficult for carriages to walk. With the crowds of people, it is also difficult for horses to pass through.

Stable boys holding signs soliciting customers can be seen everywhere on the streets.

Several stable boys swarmed up and surrounded Lu Yuan and Meng Qianqian.

"Sir, madam! Are you going to eat or stay in a hotel?"

asked one of the stable boys at the front.

"Feed the horse."

Lu Yuan said.

When they heard that they were just feeding a horse, the stable boys all left in disappointment. Only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stayed where he was. He looked at the horse's belly and said to Lu Yuan: "It's ten coppers to feed the horse." Twenty coppers, you don’t need to feed your horse, ten coppers is enough.”

Lu Yuan threw him a piece of silver.

The stable boy was stunned: "I, I can't find it."

Lu Yuan said: "No need to look for it."

He took Meng Qianqian off the horse and threw the reins to the stable boy: "Feed it some water."

The stable boy was ecstatic: "Yes! Yes! Thank you, sir! Thank you, madam! Sir, go slowly! Madam, go slowly!"

Meng Qianqian has been to Fangshi several times, but every time she sits in a carriage and goes straight away without stopping on the old street.

Unexpectedly, the old street that seemed deserted during the day turned out to be so lively at night.

Unlike Zhuque Street and Chang'an Street, there are not many new shops on the old street. They are all shops that have been open for many years, some of which have been passed down for three generations. They look old, but their business is very good.

As the two walked, they met an unexpected person—Lu Xingzhou.

Meng Qianqian never expected to meet her ex-father-in-law here.

You know, this is the north of the city, far away from the Lu family.

Lu Xingzhou obviously had the same doubts. He looked at the two people who suddenly walked towards each other, with strong shock flashing in his eyes.

Lu Yuan stopped, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and revealed a smile that seemed to penetrate people's hearts: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Lu? What a coincidence that we can meet each other even after walking half the city. The governor and Mr. Lu are really The fate is quite deep.”

Isn’t it a deep fate? It's just that it's a bad fate.

Lu Xingzhou raised his hands and saluted: "I have met the Grand Governor."

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "Master Lu, don't you know my governor's wife?"

Lu Xingzhou's brows furrowed vaguely.

How could he not know Meng Qianqian? Even if Meng Qianqian turned into ashes, he would still recognize her!

However, his daughter-in-law, who used to be respectful to him, suddenly became the wife of his immediate superior, and he was unable to fully adapt to the change in status.

Subconsciously, he didn't want to salute his ex-daughter-in-law.

However, he could not afford to offend Lu Yuan, a traitorous official.

Lu Xingzhou bowed to Meng Qianqian: "I've met the Governor's wife."

Meng Qianqian hummed in a humorous tone, and put the Governor's wife's airs on her to the maximum: "Mr. Lu, you're welcome."

Lu Yuan seemed to have thought of something and said meaningfully: "Ah, your son will be getting married in a few days. I will go with my wife to watch the ceremony."

Lu Xingzhou: I didn’t send a message to the Governor’s Mansion!

He was not familiar with Lu Yuan, so how could he dare to send an invitation to the Governor's Mansion? Besides, Lu Yuan made it clear that he had no dealings with his son. Even if he didn't know that Lu Yuan's fiancée was Meng Qianqian at the time, he would not have invited Lu Yuan to attend his son's wedding banquet.

Lu Xingzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you very much, the Governor, for the honor. I will be waiting for you, the Governor, and your ladyship."

Lu Yuan's smile deepened: "I like Mr. Lu's knowledge and interests."

After that, he took Meng Qianqian away.

Lu Xingzhou maintained his saluting posture until the two of them walked away.

The respect on his face disappeared, his eyes were cold and he clenched his fists.

Meng Qianqian said thoughtfully: "Grand Governor, I suspect that Lu Xingzhou's appearance near Fangshi is related to the Twelve Guards."

Last time she got something from the Twelve Guards in Fangshi. This time, news about another Twelve Guards might have appeared. Lu Xingzhou had nothing to do with the Twelve Guards, but Lin Wan'er did.

Lu Yuan smiled: "This Lu Xingzhou is much more interesting than his son."

He smiled again, his smile was so beautiful that it captivated all living beings, but Meng Qianqian knew that this smile was poisonous.

She moved to the side calmly.

Lu Yuan's face darkened and he asked coldly: "What are you doing?"

Meng Qianqian blinked and moved back to him.

Well, it's safer to be cold-faced with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was very particular about eating. If he wanted to eat, he would eat at the most expensive and best restaurants.

Meng Qianqian pulled his sleeve and pointed to the alley opposite the restaurant: "I want to eat that."

There is a stall selling glutinous rice **** in the alley.

Lu Yuan said murderously: "Meng Xiaojiu, do you want me to accompany you to eat that kind of food?"

Meng Qianqian: It’s not safe for Lu Yuan to be cold-faced.

A little girl about seven years old ran over quickly, raised her head and said with a smile: "Handsome brother, the glutinous rice **** made by my parents are delicious!"

Lu Yuan is not Ji Li, and he likes others to praise him for being handsome.

Sure enough, Meng Qianqian didn't even blink when she saw Lu Yuan.

The little girl didn't give up: "My parents make Baifu dumplings. If you eat them, you can live a long life and enjoy good marriage for a hundred years!"

Lu Yuan: "If it doesn't taste good..."

The little girl hurriedly promised: "It's delicious! It's delicious!"

After she finished speaking, she ran back to the stall and set up a stool, "Big brother, sit down, sister, sit down!"

Meng Qianqian said: "Grand Governor, you are the father and mother of the people. Why don't you give me a favor? It's not easy for a little girl. You have to go out to make a living with your parents at the age of seven."

Lu Yan snorted coldly, walked over, looked at Xiao Mazha, who was not much bigger than Bao Zhuzhu's exclusive stool, frowned, and seemed to have a battle between heaven and man in his heart, and finally sat down.

The table was also very short, and it was just right for Meng Qianqian to sit on it, but Lu Yuan was too tall and had nowhere to place her long legs. She had a serious face and a hint of grievance and pity.

Meng Qianqian burst into laughter. Lu Yuan said coldly: "How dare you laugh at me? Meng Xiaojiu, you are tired of living!"

Meng Qianqian lowered her head: "Don't dare."

She tried hard to hold back her laughter, but she really couldn't hold it back.

The sadness of parting was washed away by bursts of suppressed laughter. My mood became much brighter, and even my body seemed lighter.

It turns out that this dumpling is really, really... unpalatable.

Meng Qianqian was like a little quail who had done something wrong, waiting for Lu Yuan's scolding. After all, she had to drag him over to eat. After eating like this, she deserved to be scolded.

Unexpectedly, the governor didn't say anything until he finished the last delicious glutinous rice dumpling.

After dinner, the two went to Fangshi.

Unfortunately, Meng Qianqian did not meet the killer with the pigeon blood tattoo on the back of his hand this time.

It was already midnight when the two returned to the Governor's Mansion.

The old lady and Baoshu were already asleep.

The old lady is sleepy, Baoshu is tired, and she is tired from taking care of the old lady.

Piggy feels bitter in his heart, but Piggy doesn't say anything.

Grandma Li was waiting for the two of them in the room with a very serious expression.

I originally thought that it was outrageous enough for Lu Yuan to take the young lady out on his second day of marriage, but he never thought that when she went to collect Yuan Pa, something even more outrageous happened.

In the couple's bridal chamber, there should be Luohong on the Yuankerchief, but not on the lady's Yuankerchief.

The young lady is still in perfect condition, she is extremely sure of this, so, where is Luo Hong?

She was wondering if her uncle and the young lady had not consummated their marriage last night, when Mrs. Du and Aunt Wan blushed and hesitated.

Either on the table, on the floor, on the windowsill... I was not alone on the bed. Where did the red stain fall on Yuanpa?

After listening to this, Grandma Li's old face was filled with embarrassment. She recalled that Lu Yuan had asked Meng Qianqian to read the Spring Breeze picture in the library, and Grandma Li scolded Lu Yuan hundreds of times in her heart!

"Young lady is still young, please control yourself."

As soon as he got home, Lu Yuan was carrying a big burden: "..."

Meng Qianqian slept in the wedding room, while Lu Yuan went to the east chamber.

The two of them are too young and are new to human affairs, so they can easily lose control. Grandma Li has no objection to this.

"Miss, take a rest quickly, you have to go to the palace tomorrow."

After spending an afternoon with Manager Cen, I learned a lot of rules. It turned out that after Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan got married, they had to greet the queen entering the palace, but they didn't do it when they married Lu Lingxiao because Lu Lingxiao's official position was too low.

"I got it, Mommy."

On the way back, Lu Yuan mentioned it to her.

Meng Qianqian rested immediately after washing up. She slept peacefully, and it was already dawn when she opened her eyes.

Banxia opened the curtain and said softly: "Miss, my uncle said you can sleep a little longer."

Meng Qianqian said: "Has he been here?"

"My aunt has gone to court. I gave you the order before leaving." Banxia said, "It's so early for my aunt to go to court."

This dynasty officially started the court meeting at Mao Shi, and officials who lived far away could afford it at Yin Shi. Zhuque Street was close to the palace, but it still took two-quarters of an hour's drive.

Calculating it this way, Lu Yuan barely slept last night before he got up.

"I've had enough sleep, let's change."

Meng Qianqian was not yet the royal wife of the imperial court, so she did not need to wear the exclusive royal wife's clothes. She chose a pomegranate red waist-skirt and a transparent gauze dress embroidered with gold silk.

Such an extremely bright color is something that few people can resist. If you don’t pay attention, your eyes will be taken away by the clothes, and people will only notice the gorgeous clothes.

However, Meng Qianqian has an almost perfect face, delicate facial features, and is as gorgeous as a peach or plum. Her gauze dress gently moves with the wind, swaying and shining, revealing a bit of fairy aura.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

Aunt Wan exclaimed again and again: "I don't blame my uncle."

Baoshu also entered the palace today. She was also beautifully dressed. She had her hair covered with shiny golden hairpins, and she wore the little tiger cub clothes that she didn't have time to show off last time.

Only this time it's not the little red tiger, but the little golden tiger.

Meng Qianqian pinched her little face: "Baoshu is so beautiful."

Baoshu shook her little head grandly and said to Meng Qianqian: "Nine, yes, beautiful."

The old lady was still sleeping, and Meng Qianqian did not disturb her. She hugged Baoshu, took Tan'er and Banxia and got on the carriage entering the palace.

Manager Cen was also on the carriage, sitting outside.

"Madam, when you enter the palace soon, someone will take you to greet the old queen mother and the empress. There is no need to go to other palaces. After the governor comes to court, he usually goes to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to review the memorials. If you feel tired, you can You can go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with Miss Baoshu first."

Meng Qianqian nodded: "Okay, I'll note it down."

Arriving at the palace gate, Meng Qianqian saw a young eunuch.

The little **** saluted Meng Qianqian and the little guy in her arms: "Slave Xiaoquanzi, please send my regards to Mrs. Lu and my regards to Miss Baoshu. The Empress has been waiting in Kunning Palace for a long time."

Manager Cen smiled and said, "He is one of our own."

Meng Qianqian understood that Xiaoquanzi was Lu Yuan's spy in the palace: "I have seen you."

When Meng Qianqian entered the palace for the first time, she was made things difficult by Concubine Li. It was Mrs. Wang who invited the empress to come forward in time. Xiaoquanzi was one of the palace attendants who accompanied her at that time.

Xiao Quanzi said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu has a good memory and is just a slave."

"Panasia."

Meng Qianqian winked at Banxia.

Banxia took out a money bag and handed it to Xiaoquanzi's hand.

"useless!"

Xiaoquanzi didn't dare to accept it.

Manager Cen said, "Why don't you thank Madam for the reward?"

Xiaoquanzi then collected the money bag and said respectfully: "Thank you, madam, for the reward!"

Manager Cen said to Meng Qianqian, "Madam, I'm waiting for you and Miss Baoshu outside."

Meng Qianqian nodded and followed Xiaoquanzi into the palace.

She and Baoshu first went to pay their respects to the old empress dowager. The old empress dowager was the emperor's aunt. She had fasted and chanted Buddha's name all her life. She was an extremely kind old man. A few years ago, the prince died suddenly. The emperor became depressed and fell ill. The Zen throne was given to Zong Zhengxi, and then he passed away. Went to the palace to recuperate.

He said he was recuperating, but in fact he was under house arrest by Lu Yuan.

At that time, someone tried to persuade the old queen to come forward and suppress Lu Yuan, but the old queen moved to the small Buddhist hall in the palace and never stepped out of the Buddhist hall.

Meng Qianqian met the old queen in the Buddhist hall.

She was dressed simply, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on her chest, and a half-copied Buddhist scripture in front of her.

She is about the same age as the old lady and is also a very old man.

Meng Qianqian held Baoshu in her arms and paid her respects to the old Queen Mother.

The old Queen Mother devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha, but everything was in vain. She gave Meng Qianqian and Baoshu two Buddhist scriptures that she had copied, and then asked them to leave.

Baoshu held the Buddhist scripture in both hands and took two bites, unable to eat it, so she didn't want it anymore.

She still likes the old lady, and everything given to her is edible.

Banxia put away the Buddhist scriptures.

Meng Qianqian asked: "Is the Queen Mother the biological mother of the Supreme Emperor?"

"No." Xiaoquanzi accepted Meng Qianqian's reward and replied with great detail, "The Supreme Emperor's biological mother was a female official in the palace. The female official left shortly after giving birth to the child. The Queen Mother adopted the Supreme Emperor into her own name and treated her as her biological child. He was raised by his son. But these are old things and no one in the palace mentions them anymore. Madam, please don’t mention them in front of other ladies. The old queen doesn’t like people saying that the emperor is not her biological child.”

She just asked casually, but she didn't expect that they really weren't mother and son.

"Why doesn't the Supreme Emperor pursue the title of his biological mother?"

"This...servant doesn't know either."
