It's no secret that Meng Qiucheng is accumulating wealth, and it is the most shameful to count Shaotong in the court, but the impeachment memorials all point to Meng Qiucheng as a meritorious minister and are blocked.

The emperor turned a blind eye to these matters, which made Shao Tong extremely dissatisfied.Just because Meng Qiucheng was successful, he ignored his faults.Seeing that the emperor didn't intend to change his son-in-law at all, Shao Tong was anxious like an ant on a hot pot.When he thought that the princess was going to marry such a person, he became very angry.

The princess is virtuous and virtuous, extremely noble, what kind of guy is Meng Qiucheng, how can he be worthy of it.

Yi Shao, together with the ministers of the United Kingdom and China, wrote a letter to strictly investigate.

Under pressure, the emperor also approached Meng Qiucheng a few times, and he was quite lenient to him. The general meaning is that there have been countless memorials to impeach you recently.Don't be so blatant, I also want face.

Meng Qiucheng knew that the emperor wanted to keep her and contain the various forces in the court.Whether it is Zhang Shuli or King Fucheng, they all have strength accumulated over the years.It is not easy for the emperor to take power immediately.And her appearance, on the contrary, made these self-proclaimed high-minded courtiers a little more uneasy.

Her style of conduct has always been unpopular, and both good officials and corrupt officials are pushing her away.

The fire at Yongle Temple has been thoroughly investigated. Not long after, the marriage between Meng Qiucheng and Princess Jingrong was put on the agenda again.But it was Concubine Dong who made the emperor make up his mind.

In the hall of flattery, Concubine Dong personally made the emperor's favorite ice cream, and the crystal clear pastry whetted the appetite.Liu Xi was on the side, poured tea and brought it to Concubine Dong, Concubine Dong handed it to the emperor with a smile, "The emperor is in a good mood recently, but because the Huns in Beijiang have been defeated one after another, the situation in the court is becoming more and more stable?"

Wei Yuanqi pulled the beauty over, hugged her into his arms, and said happily, "You understand my thoughts best, but I would like to ask you, is it safe to marry An Rong to Meng Qiucheng?"

Concubine Dong smiled without saying a word, she just looked at Wei Yuanqi and shook her head.

Wei Yuanqi was puzzled, "What's the meaning of Aifei?"

"Your majesty, thanks to you being Princess Jingrong's elder brother. Could it be that the emperor didn't see that the princess has taken a different view of this Lord Meng in her heart? Otherwise, why would the princess protect him everywhere?"

Wei Yuanqi listened, and it seemed to be true.Unavoidably, he was a little worried, "But Meng Qiucheng has a hidden disease. If the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty were promised to such a person, how could I be worthy of the late emperor?"

"Your majesty, the princess is no longer a child. She has her own choices. Since the princess chose Mr. Meng, why should the emperor be so worried? Besides, does the emperor really believe what Mr. Meng said?" Concubine Dong hooked her hand. On Wei Yuanqi's shoulder, whispered in his ear.

Wei Yuanqi's eyes tightened, and the smile on his face subsided, "My concubine is right, Meng Qiucheng is such a person that even I can't see through him. But seeing his performance these few times, those old stubborn people in the court are very displeased." , I feel happy. It is easy to kill a Meng Qiucheng, but it is not easy to contain those stubborn old people."

"So the emperor tried every means to promote Mr. Meng to a high-ranking official and let him deal with those old stubborn people. The more dissatisfied those old stubborn people are, the more beneficial it will be to the emperor."

Concubine Dong did not shy away from her words, and Wei Yuanqi liked her courage to think and speak out, so many things he never told others, but he was able to talk to Concubine Dong.Concubine Dong was favored, and everyone thought it was because of her beauty, but in fact, only the emperor knew the insights in Concubine Dong's heart.

Wei Yuanqi held Concubine Dong's other hand, thinking about her words in his heart, and looked up at Concubine Dong for a while, "This huge imperial city should belong to me, but I am not the master of this city. The struggle for power has never stopped since the death of the first emperor. I have endured humiliation for so many years, and now I finally have the opportunity to control the overall situation, and I will never let anyone hinder me again."

"If the emperor wants to gain power, he must cultivate his own power. The queen mother's party has disintegrated. Except for those who have done a lot of evil, most of the rest are followers of the crowd. But there are many people with real skills. If the emperor can ignore the past and win over Those people, they will definitely be grateful to Dade and try their best to help them. Firstly, let them see the emperor's tolerance and benevolence, and secondly, let the neutral courtiers see the great increase in the emperor's power and understand the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor is afraid of Zhang Shuli and King Fucheng, if he can win over the Queen Mother's people, the emperor will be as strong as them. "

Concubine Dong said, she put her head close to Wei Yuanqi's arms, "As for the containment in the court, if the emperor is not ruthless, he will not be able to catch wolves."

A slight smile appeared on Wei Yuanqi's lips, "That's right, my concubine is still considerate. Meng Qiucheng is a talent, and I will definitely put him to good use. Since An Rong likes it, then this marriage should be settled."

After Wei Yuanqi finished speaking, he picked up the weak and boneless woman in his arms and walked towards the bed.

Putting down the gauze curtain, he looked dotingly at the charming woman on the bed.He is the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the women he likes have always been obedient and obedient.And the woman in front of him was not only obedient, but also won his heart.

Therefore, the emperor's favor and dew lasted until midnight.

In Zhongxiu Palace, the Empress of Great Zhou propped her forehead with one hand and held a scroll in the other.Looking up at the treetops on the moon, he asked the maid beside him, "Danping, what time is it?"

Danping replied, "Your Majesty, the second watch has just passed. Eunuch Liu has just sent someone to spread the word that the Emperor will stay in the Palace of Flattery tonight and will not come."

The queen nodded, put down the scroll, got up and went to the inner room.

Danping followed behind, quite resentful, "The emperor was supposed to come to visit the empress today, but he was stopped by the master of the flattery hall. The emperor is really so partial."

The queen was not angry, she just sat on the side of the bed and smiled, "Danping, the emperor is the king of a country. How can we control what the emperor wants to do? By the way, when the king Yong rebelled and delayed, the palace almost I forgot. Where is the woman who entered the palace to dance at the top of the Hundred Flowers List now?"

Danping thought for a while, "Your Majesty is talking about that woman named Jinxi? She is currently working in the file office."

"Such a beautiful woman is as talented as others, it's a pity to stay there."

"Your Majesty, do you want to support her?"

"It's useless for me to support you, it depends on whether she has the fate. Since she and Concubine Dong came out of a place like Misty Rain Tower, she must have a lot of skills in charming men." The queen said with a sneer, " Find an opportunity first and call Zhong Xiugong. I really want to see who is more powerful among them."

Danping suddenly understood, and nodded with a smile, "Your Majesty has a way. Why do you need your Majesty to deal with the one from the Hall of Flattery? Anyway, no matter who comes out of the Misty Rain Tower, it will not be a pity to lose."

The queen's eyes shrank, and she smiled sinisterly, "Oh, none of them can beat Ben Gong!"

……

Ever since the Yongle Temple fire and Concubine Chen's death were found out, Meng Qiucheng had no excuse to enter the palace.She is not a guard on duty and cannot stay in the palace.Foreign ministers must obtain permission to enter the harem.After much deliberation, she finally made an excuse to see the princess before entering the palace.

It happened that the princess was ill and caught a cold.

Meng Qiucheng stood in the hall, and Xia Lian handed him the medicine bowl in her hand, "Master Meng came just in time, help me feed this medicine to the princess!"

Meng Qiucheng hesitated, "This, isn't this against the rules?"

Xia Lian snorted, "Why is it against the rules? You are the son-in-law hand-picked by the emperor. It is only natural to feed the princess medicine. I have to go to the imperial kitchen to get some porridge, otherwise I won't let you go." Woolen cloth!"

Saying that, Xia Lian hurried out of the palace.

Meng Qiucheng held the bowl, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. She was not the only maid in Qinghe Palace, why didn't anyone feed the princess medicine?

Although she felt that Xia Lian seemed hostile to her, but seeing that the medicine was already slightly cold, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the inner room.

Not daring to look around, she walked straight to the bed and looked at the person lying on the bed.A head of black hair hangs down on his chest, no makeup is applied, his eyes are closed, and his face looks tired.

Although Wei Anrong is a princess, he has been secretly helping the emperor, working hard day and night.Such a woman is indeed admirable, and Meng Qiucheng has a little more respect for her.

Wei Anrong moved his lips, coughed a few times, but did not open his eyes, "Xia Lian, put the medicine down! I want to take a rest, I will drink it later."

Meng Qiucheng frowned and said, "Princess, when the medicine cools down, its effect will also be lost."

Wei Anrong was startled, opened his eyes, and saw the person standing in front of him who was thinking about it day and night.She froze for a moment, not knowing whether this was a dream or reality.

After a while, I realized that this person was still standing in front of me, so I asked, "Why are you here?"

Meng Qiucheng faltered for a long time, Wei Anrong's brows and eyes were slightly disappointed.

"Oh, this palace has become an excuse for you to look at her."

Meng Qiucheng hurriedly said, "Princess atones."

"Forget it, it's all thanks to you that I can find out the death of my concubine's mother. I also know what you think about her. However, next time you want to enter the palace to see her, you have to come to Qinghe Palace first, so as not to Suspicious."

Meng Qiucheng nodded gratefully, "Thank you, princess."

Wei Anrong sat up propped up, reaching out to take the medicine in Meng Qiucheng's hand.

Seeing this, Meng Qiucheng hurriedly said, "Princess, let me do it!"

Before Wei Anrong could speak, she had already fed the medicine bowl spoonful by spoonful.

Wei Anrong kept his eyes down and didn't dare to look at her. He swallowed a mouthful of the soup with a spoon in his mouth, and immediately turned his face away with a frown. "This medicine is so bitter!"

Seeing her like that, Meng Qiucheng couldn't help laughing, "Princess, who is omnipotent, is afraid of suffering?"

Wei Anrong swallowed the decoction in his mouth with difficulty, and slowly spit out two words. "Afraid of suffering!"

"Let Xia Lian fetch some candied fruit later, it won't be bitter."

Wei Anrong shook his head and smiled, "The Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life. Birth, old age, sickness and death are sufferings. Love, separation and resentment are sufferings for a long time. Candied fruit can sweeten the bitterness in the mouth, but it can't sweeten the bitterness of life. Since the death of my mother and concubine, I have been careful Living in this golden cage, for so many years, I have been vigilant against the Queen Mother and never dared to let go. So this palace is terrified."

Looking at Wei Anrong's pale face, Meng Qiucheng felt somewhat sympathetic in his heart.She was also terrified, but these years of hardships still did not bring about the results she wanted to know.

"Now the princess has achieved the result she always wanted, and the emperor loves her even more, so the princess has come to the end of all hardships."

"The end of suffering is the reward?" Wei Anrong looked up at Meng Qiucheng, his eyes met, but he couldn't calm his heart for a long time.

It's easy to say the hard work, but what if you can't let it go?

Wei Anrong finished the last sip of medicine, closed his eyes, and sighed, "I'm tired, isn't Master Meng still going to see her? Go early, come back earlier, don't make people suspicious and embarrass me .”

Meng Qiu intentionally paused, wondering whether she was kindly reminding her or warning her not to cause trouble for her.No matter which one it was, Meng Qiucheng responded in a deep voice.

Jinxi has been at the file for so long, it's time to find out some clues.She also didn't want to keep her in the palace, the water in the palace was too turbid, and if she was not careful, she would drown in this filth.However, outside the palace there is a satyr who is not willing to be lonely, and is staring at it covetously.

If he didn't dare to mess around in the palace, he might not be outside the palace.

Meng Qiucheng was exhausted, walked out of the Qinghe Hall, and looked back at the huge palace.A trace of fear suddenly rose in her, the more she ascended to a high position, the more frightened she became.She was afraid that one day, she and Jin Xi would not be able to leave.

After leaving the Qinghe Hall, she didn't delay any longer, and immediately went to the archives to meet the person she wanted to see.

Seeing Meng Qiucheng, Wang Ren'an hurriedly saluted, "Master Meng!"

"Wang Gonggong, I came to look for Jin Xi, I wonder if she is here?"

Wang Ren'an quietly took a look at Meng Qiucheng, and then at Jinxi not far away.He has stayed in this palace for most of his life, Meng Qiucheng and Liang Wang all come to Jinxi, so naturally it can't be because of business.

But one is the high-ranking prince, and the other is the future son-in-law, no matter who gets involved with Jin Xi, it's not good.

He pointed at the people not far away and shouted in a cold voice, "Jin Xi, Master Meng is looking for you."

After speaking, he looked at Meng Qiucheng again, "Master Meng, don't wait too long, this is the palace after all, don't make things difficult for the slaves."

Meng Qiucheng smiled softly, and naturally understood what Wang Ren'an meant.Immediately, he hurriedly found a reason and said, "Don't worry, Wang Gonggong, it won't take too long. I was ordered by the princess, and I want to ask Miss Jinxi for some questions."

Wang Ren'an just smiled and didn't speak any more.It doesn't matter whether this is the meaning of the princess or not, he has also reminded everything that should be reminded, Meng Qiucheng is an official, he is a slave in the palace, if you say too much, it is a crime.

As for Jinxi, if something happens to her, King Liang and Meng Qiucheng will still protect her.But he has no one to back him up.Whoever the court lady had an affair with, he was the one who was unlucky.

Even so, he couldn't say anything.Who told him to be a slave!And this is the imperial palace, a place more terrifying than any other place.

The author has something to say: The cervical spine has been very uncomfortable these two days, hey, silently hugging my weak self.

I guess the cult will become even more cult after reading this chapter, hum!

I will let Xiao Jinxi counterattack!
