cross princess

The queen returned to the palace naturally with some adjustments.

The women in the harem have to come out to greet them, the high-ranking ones stand in the front row, the low-ranking ones stand in the back row, and the unranked show girls can only kneel at the end without lifting their heads.

Now Xiu Nu is still living in the Changchun Palace to receive the so-called royal training, and Lu Meng's return to the palace can be regarded as giving them a little vacation.

Getting off the sedan chair, Lu Meng held her waist with her hands. Her stomach was already big, and she wrapped it up again. It looked the same as her stomach in July and August. It was already hot, so wrapping it up made her feel more uncomfortable. It's over, it is said that the summer vacation is over, but in fact it is still so hot today.

Lvli kept fanning at the side, trying to relieve Lu Meng's pain a little.

When watching TV, Zhang Pengpeng had a huge belly and didn't see her. How come I should eat and drink, why am I so miserable when it's my turn?Tossing and turning in the middle of the night and not being able to sleep is fine, my feet still cramp from time to time, and they are swollen like pig's trotters!My morning sickness was in the first three months, I ate whatever I vomited all the time, and I barely managed to drink some soup. At the beginning, I still liked sweets, but now I eat sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and disgusting things, it is really torture!

But let alone, the more tortured Lu Meng was, the more affection Lu Meng had for the child in her stomach, and she would enjoy touching her belly occasionally and imagining what the child would look like for a long time.

"Auspicious Queen Empress!"

Rows of women knelt down in unison.

"Get up." Lu Meng saw Zhang Lingling and Jiang Yingyue at a glance.

Zhang Lingling probably had a good life, after all, she was the queen's cousin, even if she lived with a group of beautiful girls, she would still be allocated a separate room, not to mention that the nuns in the palace didn't dare to do anything serious.

Jiang Yingyue's face became more haggard.Although she changed her identity, which old man in the palace would not know her?Not to mention that the nanny who came to teach them was someone close to the Empress Dowager. They all knew that the Empress Dowager didn't want to see her, so naturally they wouldn't give her good fruit to eat.

Lu Meng was not interested in meeting Jiang Yingyue, so she waved at Zhang Lingling.

"Lingling, come to this palace."

Zhang Lingling got up and walked towards Lu Meng cheerfully.

"My lady is auspicious! My lady, Linger misses you so much!"

"I miss you too." Lu Meng patted Zhang Lingling's hand, and the four concubines surrounded her.

"Empress~" Huang Liangyuan was the first to speak, "You have been away for two months, and the palace has become lonely."

"Yes!" Wan Wanqiang nodded immediately, blinking her big eyes.

Zi Yi first glanced at Jiang Yingyue casually, and then said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty, you don't know yet? Someone impostor took the place of Xiu Nu~"

Lu Meng followed her gaze to look at Jiang Yingyue, Jiang Yingyue's eyes were still angry, the show girls were still kneeling on the ground at this moment, maybe the people next to her heard Chen Liangdi's words and pushed her deliberately, Jiang Yingyue Yue didn't knelt firmly, and fell to the ground all at once.

Lu Meng shook her head, but did not stop, "Don't talk nonsense without evidence."

Ziyi wanted to speak, but was touched by Chen Liangdi's elbow, "Your Majesty has just returned to the palace, maybe you are tired?"

"When does the draft start?"

"Tomorrow at noon." Zhang Lingling replied on the sidelines.

"En." Lu Meng responded and walked in.

This road is necessary, formalism.After passing this section of the road, you can take a sedan chair and go back to your own Xingsheng Palace.

"Hey, I really don't understand what some people think. They don't want to be a good palm treasure, but they just want to be a roadside grass." When passing by Jiang Yingyue, Lu Meng said deliberately, "It's hard to be held in the palm of your hand." Is it better to be loved so much than to be trampled on like weeds by the roadside? Tell me, why would anyone want to be the latter?"

Zhang Lingling didn't know why, but she replied obediently, "Ling'er doesn't understand either, maybe that person is too persistent? He always looks in front of him, but he can't see behind him."

"Well said! Ling'er, you are really talented~"

"Your Majesty won the prize."

Xingsheng Palace

Zhang Lingling obediently stayed by Lu Meng's side, watching Lu Meng pull out the cotton pad wrapped in her belly from her stomach, her face was full of doubts, but she held back and didn't ask.

"Lingling, tell me, do you like Yang Yan?"

Zhang Lingling blushed, lowered her head and said nothing.

"Success! Since you like it, it will be much easier!"

"Do you know why the emperor drafted the draft?"

Zhang Lingling nodded, her face was still a little red, "Yang Yan came to meet me when he was on duty in the palace before, and told me all about it."

Hehehe, Yang Yan will definitely be a wife slave in the future!

"Then I have nothing to say to you. Anyway, I promise you that I will let you marry Yang Yan!"

Zhang Lingling was silent for a while, "Mother, I really treat Yang Yan... but I don't want my mother to have a quarrel with the emperor because of this matter. If there is nothing to do, let it be! Lingling, as a daughter of the Zhang family, has already done it. I am mentally prepared to marry the Zhang family, and I will never hold grudges because of this incident!"

Fuck, what a sensible kid!

"You don't need to worry about this!" Lu Meng patted Zhang Lingling's head, "Don't worry, this is not only for you, but also for my own sake! The game with Qi Sheng has just begun, how can we give up so quickly? Let alone us Although we didn't know each other well before, you and I are both daughters of the Zhang family. This is an unbroken blood relationship. How can I be willing to let you marry someone who is not human? Besides, that boy Yang Yan has a very good relationship with me. I can't just watch his wife run away~"

"Niang Niang~" Zhang Lingling continued to be shy, shy, shy.

Oh, seeing the little girl shy, I actually feel happy, could it be that I am getting old?

After chatting for a while, Lu Meng became sleepy uncontrollably, and fell asleep after sending Lingling away.

This sleep was extremely solid, could it be because he returned to the range covered by the master of the plot?

Lu Meng stretched refreshedly, she hasn't slept so comfortably for a long time!

Today is the day of the draft. Qi Sheng will go to the Chengqian Hall when he is under court, and then rows of beauties will start to show off. Only three people will be scoring points, the emperor, the empress, and the empress dowager.Among them, Qi Sheng has one vote to decide, and the votes of Lu Meng and the Empress Dowager are for reference only.

Reluctantly, he wrapped his stomach again, hey, life is so hard.

"Pengpeng! The Ai family hasn't seen you for a while!" The empress dowager was very excited when she saw Lu Meng, and she reached out to touch her belly. Was it okay when Lu Meng saw it?Hastily grabbed the two hands of the Empress Dowager, also full of tears, "Grandmother, I think you've lost weight!"

"Oh, Pengpeng's face is really thin!" The Empress Dowager really forgot to touch her stomach and touched her face instead, feeling extremely heartbroken, "Aren't you hungry for the good great-great-grandson of the Ai family? Let the Ai family touch it."

Oh, I'll go, Qi Cheng, come quickly, I can't hold on.

"The Emperor is here!"

You are here, savior!

Lu Meng was overwhelmed with surprise, turned around 360°, avoided the Empress Dowager's hand abruptly, and pretended to cheer happily, "Grandmother, the emperor is here!"

As soon as Qi Cheng entered the door, he saw Lu Meng throwing himself on his body and grabbing the skirt of his clothes, his eyes suddenly widened, and he didn't dare to pull away seeing the empress dowager's happy look, so he asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" What?"

Lu Meng buried her head on Qi Sheng's chest, "The imperial grandmother always wants to touch my belly, but the fake belly will be over as soon as she touches it! Quickly cover me up!"

Qi Cheng's stiff facial muscles moved outwards, forced a smile, turned Lu Meng into his arms, and pressed his hands on Lu Meng's stomach.

Lu Meng herself touched her belly wrapped in a cotton pad, and it was soft to the touch. Once she touched it, she knew that she was definitely not pregnant, because when she was really pregnant, it actually felt a little hard, not soft.

"Grandmother, the draft is about to start, let's take our seats!"

"Okay!" The Empress Dowager looked at Qi Cheng and Lu Meng's affectionate look with satisfaction, and sat on the right side.

Qi Cheng naturally sat in the middle.

There is no trick in the draft, just Xiaoqiang will report the identity and age of the show girl, and then the show girl will walk through the scene with her face facing the front, so Lu Meng and the three of them can take a rough look, unless Qi Cheng likes it and specially asks her to look up and take a closer look , otherwise you won't be able to see the whole face at all.

"Next, Zhang Lingling, the daughter of General Zhang Ling!"

Zhang Lingling was still in that pink dress, which seemed to be no different from yesterday's.

Girl, do you not change clothes like Jiang Yingyue?

"Head up!"

Zhang Lingling raised her head, her eyes were bright.

At this time, the little girl is in full bloom, with collagen all over her face, not to mention her appearance, just her youthful vigor is enough.

Qi Cheng really showed a little smile at this time, and turned to ask the Empress Dowager, "Grandmother, what do you think of this girl?"

"Not bad, not bad." The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, "Graceful, but..." The Empress Dowager glanced at Lu Meng, approached Qi Cheng and said hesitantly: "Peng Peng is from the Zhang family, and I'm afraid I won't be able to bring another one." All right?"

Qi Cheng nodded, "I don't want her to be my concubine, look, Lao Jiu is not married yet!"

"Hey?" The Empress Dowager's eyes lit up, "Not bad! Peng Peng married you, and this Lingling will marry Han'er, not bad! It's hard for you to keep thinking about Han'er's marriage!"

Qi Cheng smiled modestly, secretly watching Lu Meng's reaction.

The discussion between the two was not loud, Lu Meng naturally heard it, but she still had to pretend that nothing happened, smiled at Qi Cheng, and cursed in her heart.

Cross your circle!Really TM to find fault with me?Qi Cheng, you're done, you're done!over!up!

"Then stay here first." After staying here, they will temporarily live in the palace. After the draft is over, the imperial decree will be issued uniformly.

"Next, Lin Yueru, the daughter of governor Lin Qizheng!"

Needless to say, Jiang Yingyue's appearance definitely comes with a soundtrack and blower. That fluttering white dress and the cover-up round fan made Lu Meng cry.

Please girl, can we change our style?

Qi Cheng froze, pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes darkened suddenly.

It's not that he hasn't been to Youlan Palace these days, so he naturally found that Jiang Yingyue had disappeared.

However, he had said earlier that the Youlan Palace was not a cell to imprison her, she could live there if she wanted, and she could leave at any time if she didn't want to.

He didn't see her at that time, and he thought she had left because of the child. Although he was a little disappointed, he was more fortunate.

He always felt that he owed her a lot. He was the one who promised to be together, but in the end, he married Zhang Pengpeng and she married Zhao Wang.He knew that she had been depressed, and he could only make one good vow after another to make her happy.The promise of "a couple for a lifetime" was made by him at that time.

Originally, he thought that everything would be different after he became emperor, but the result turned out to be the same as before, or even worse.

So gradually, when she was there, his mood became complicated and tangled. He didn't dare to face Jiang Yingyue, afraid of seeing her tears, afraid that she would talk about their children, and his despicable psychology made him feel that maybe her Instead, you can let go of yourself.

But now, she came out again.

Qi Cheng didn't know what he was like.She was still the same as before, wearing the white dress that he loved the most, but now she looked so white that it was a bit glaring.He once praised her ethereal and soft fan dance, and she has always danced for him with a round fan at any time, but no matter how beautiful the dance is, if you watch it too much, you will get tired of it.

"Leave it." Qi Cheng was silent for a long time, if she really wanted to be his concubine, then he would give it to her.

Ever since the Empress Dowager saw Jiang Yingyue, her face had darkened, and she was about to protest when Lu Meng smiled and shook her head.

The Empress Dowager was still full of anger, but she was relieved to see Lu Meng's well-behaved and sensible, so she stopped interfering.

After that, a few more were left one after another, and the first day of the draft was over.

That's right, it's only the first day!

And the next day, after all, there are so many beautiful women, even after going through layers of screening, there are still many women left waiting for Qi Cheng to choose.So being an emperor is really good!Well, from this point of view, it is true that Xiao Jiu cannot be the emperor!

"Your Majesty, Ai's family has hosted a welcome banquet for Pengpeng tonight, remember to attend!"

"Yes."

Hey, I was thinking about finding a reason to hold a banquet, grandma, you really are my god assist!

"Grandmother, you're so kind!" Lu Meng blinked her big eyes, and was hugged by Qi Cheng on the surface, but actually sandwiched and left together.
