Passionate but ruthless

When Meng Fu entered the imperial garden, Cheng Rui was courting the saint, and a few jokes made the Ninth Five Lord laugh out loud, ignoring the kneeling Meng Fu.

"How is Meng Aiqing's health these days?", just when Meng Fu thought he was just kneeling and basking in the sun, the emperor asked.

Meng Fu paid homage and said: "My father has been fine recently, but he is old and his legs and feet are not very sharp. Every day, he and his son talk about the days when they were young in the countryside climbing trees and fishing."

The Holy Majesty sighed and said: "I can't sleep at night for the country, and my white hair is growing gradually, but he has leisure time and wants to be leisurely."

Meng Fu said in a loud voice: "It is a great fortune for the emperor to worry about the country and the people. It is for the sake of peace in the world, and the generals are free to think about living in the fields."

The Holy One laughed and said, "There is no one in the world who knows my heart better than Meng Lang."

Meng Fu said: "The emperor is the wise king of the people of the world. My ministers only have one thing to say, so I dare not underestimate myself."

The Holy Majesty waved his hand and said: "Aiqing was called today for Aiqing's marriage. The second son of the Zhang family is ignorant, greedy for wine and lustful, and he is not a good man. I know you have some criticisms, besides, you were originally married to a man. with him……."

Meng Fu prostrated himself and said, "I agree with Zhang Yu."

The Holy One said: "Aiqing is very knowledgeable, so don't force it. I intend to match you with a beautiful woman. As for Zhang Yu——I want to betroth Yunxian to him. What do you think of Aiqing?"

Meng Fu was startled, Princess Yun Xianci belonged to the noble concubine, and the emperor's weak heir even regarded her as a treasure in his palm.Now that the promise to the Zhang family was intended to protect the Zhang family, then the Zhang family did not intend to join forces at the beginning... The surface still pretended to be disobedient and said: "I and Zhang Yu are only married for four or five days, which is when they are in love. Your Majesty, Why, Your Majesty?"

The sage said: "To tell you the truth, Yunxian has been in love with the second son of the Zhang family for many years. In the past few days, I have been in a dilemma..."

Meng Fu said: "Can you allow some time... Rong Chen and Zhang Yu to discuss..."

The Holy One said: "This matter is not in a hurry. I have already looked forward to the day. Nine days later will be the auspicious day of the zodiac."

Meng Fu bowed: "Thank you, Lord Long."

The Holy Majesty looked at the sun and said: "After talking for a long time, I am tired, Ai Qing, please come back."

Seeing Meng Fu leaving the yard, Cheng Rui quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is confused! How can you match Yun Xian with that incompetent."

The Holy Majesty frowned and said powerlessly: "Do you remember that you and I sneaked out of the palace when we were children, and you asked me to go back to the palace when it was dark, but I didn't want to, so I ran away in anger with you?"

Cheng Rui added some tea for the emperor and said: "How can I forget that day, my little one? I almost frightened my soul away. I searched all over the city for Your Majesty all night, but he still didn't see him. He was crying and wanted to throw himself into the river to apologize. Your Majesty said Like the gods from the sky descending to earth, they suddenly appeared in front of the little one."

The Holy Majesty interrupted Cheng Rui's long memory and said: "I really met a fairy that night. She didn't look as old as I was, and she gave me a piece of fragrant cake with a smile and told me softly, don't be afraid, hold my hand to find her." The way back to the palace."

Cheng Rui's face froze and he smiled bitterly: "Your majesty knows about this fairy, and His Majesty has said it hundreds of times. It's just that I don't understand one thing, why doesn't your majesty bring her into the palace to enjoy the blessings?"

The sage said: "When I went to look for it again, I heard that I had become a aunt and had a son."

Cheng Rui was puzzled and asked: "How can you have a son after being an aunt?"

"I—I don't know, I thought to myself that since I have no fate with her in this life, I just want to protect her descendants for a lifetime without any worries."

"You dare to ask me, the son of this celestial being—"

"Zhang Yu." The sage said, "The Meng family is too crazy and has many cliques in private. If Zhang and Meng want to join forces, the Zhang family must be eliminated. I can only make my own decision to save Zhang Yu and repay the kindness of that night."

"Your Majesty is benevolent. Although Zhang Yu has not achieved great success in so many years, he has no disasters or difficulties." Cheng Rui was unsteady in serving the tea, and the tea overflowed. Allow him to learn Zhang Family Kung Fu."

Cheng Rui knelt down and said, "Your Majesty—little people in court do not dare to speak too much, but Zhang Meng and others are veterans. This big change may not be convincing to the public, so we should be in a hurry."

The Holy Majesty threw down the teacup and said: "I gave them time, but they still can't see who is the master of the world after so many years! The Meng family's non-distribution of elixir is an example. This time I revealed this matter to Meng Fu, in order to The only thing is that his two families parted ways after a gap."

Cheng Rui flinched in fright, the Holy Master patted his fair face with his hand and said: "It's not your fault, why are you so scared, you are still as timid as a child before."

Cheng Rui stuck out his tongue and said, "Your Majesty still doesn't know about the younger ones? I'm not as brave as a pinprick, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you well. It's all because of Your Majesty not to care about the younger ones for so many years."

The Holy Majesty sighed and said with a smile: "I will punish no one and I will not punish you. Get up, the ground is cold." After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled Cheng Rui up. Cheng Rui wanted to say something, but His Majesty frowned and said, "Hands are so cold. , let’s go, let’s go get some clothes... I’m really tired too, and the rest of the matter will be discussed after the princess gets married.”

Cheng Rui drew out his hands and lowered his head, closely following His Majesty's side.Just like when he was a child, he is a monarch, he is a slave, he acts according to his words, and he has been with him for half his life.

After Meng Fu went back, he only made a pretense at Zhang's house, and went straight to his backyard through the eaves. Before Zhang Yu arrived, the old housekeeper seemed to expect Meng Fu to come, so he made tea early and waited in the hall.

Seeing Meng Fu's uneasy expression, the old housekeeper hurriedly handed tea: "Master."

Meng Fu glared and said, "He wants to give the second princess to Zhang Yu."

"My lord—"

"The Zhang family doesn't know what it means and needs to observe it. If there are no available people, they should cut the weeds immediately to avoid future troubles. This time, they are deliberately demonstrating to shame the Meng family. No one knows that I am married to Zhang Yu."

Uncle Wu pondered for a moment and said, "The Meng and Zhang families have always been harmonious, and Mr. Zhang once had a close relationship with you. I'm afraid he didn't know about it... What does the young master mean?"

Meng Fu sighed: "Nowadays all mud bodhisattvas are crossing the river, who wants to keep themselves, otherwise we don't have to go to the end of the mountain, people's hearts are separated, who can entrust them all? The Zhang family's previous seven points are now only five points. Knowing that getting asylum may not be enough, we need to wait and see what happens."

Just as he was talking, the gate of the courtyard was knocked lightly, Uncle Wu's face changed and he held the sword by his side, and the outsider whispered: "Madam Zhang brought fresh fruits to Uncle Wu."
