Chapter 217

Jiang Jinwen breathed steadily and quickly, looked around the rockery vigilantly, and determined that she didn't see any suspicious people waiting. Finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meng Yuanzhen looked at her as if he had time. It seemed that she didn't realize the great confusion brought to her by her appearance. Just smiled and said, "don't be so nervous. I came from the study openly, not a thief."

Jiang Jinwen glared at him angrily. Gritting his teeth, he said, "you know you're more frightening than being a thief. If others find you with me, they can't wash it when they jump into the Yellow River."

"What a big thing you need to jump into the Yellow River," Meng Yuanzhen smiled calmly. "I just want to come to Zhongcui palace to see you. I didn't expect to see you on the road."

"Keep your voice down," Jiang Jinwen hissed. "I'm afraid I have no luck to accept this fate. Why don't you come back to the Lord's residence?"

"It's said to look at you. I usually only see you in the secret way. Today I can see it openly." Meng Yuanzhen looked at her more and more white face in the sun, and her eyes were gentle inch by inch. "You still look good in the sun. Don't see me in the secret road in the future."

Jiang Jinwen bit her lips and stared at him. "Shut up, who wants to meet you in the sun? If others find me, I will die in the palace."

"Oh," Meng Yuanzhen's lip angle tilted an interesting arc. "You mean we'd better meet in the secret way. Then you should come to Penglai hall to see me more. Don't let me wait there alone."

Jiang Jinwen glanced at him impatiently. "Don't talk nonsense. I won't meet you again, whether it's a secret way or in the palace."

Meng Yuanzhen looked deeply at her determined side face, sighed and said softly, "the emperor has forgiven everything I have done. You don't have to worry about my problems. From today on, I can go into the palace every day to go to the study to help the emperor deal with government affairs."

Jiang Jinwen couldn't believe it. She opened her eyes wide and said dumbly, "how could it be that you are the one who almost wanted to usurp the throne. How could the emperor let you go and let you in and out of the study."

"As I said, the emperor has a headache in dealing with government affairs. Several princes are idle and don't work at all. One of his princes is not as tall as my waist and the other has just been born. I'm the best choice to help him stabilize the government." Meng Yuanzhen lowered his head and got closer to her.

Jiang Jinwen stepped back a few steps unhappily. "The emperor is really generous. He will let go of people like you. He should cut off your head after the failure of usurping the throne. Now how can he regard you as a guest of honor."

"The person you said is very sad," Meng Yuanzhen deliberately looked lost. "Can't you see that I can live in this world?"

"I don't mean that," Jiang Jinwen said with a sigh. "Be careful. I just think the Emperor just wants to use you to deal with government affairs. When those ministers who support you slowly show up, he can catch you all and put you and those evil old ministers into death row. It depends on how you turn over."

Meng Yuanzhen raised his lips and smiled. He reached over and touched her cheek. "They all said you don't have to worry about me. I have my own discretion now and won't provoke the emperor to kill me."

"The emperor's next move should be to let you marry, just to control you," Jiang Jinwen didn't avoid his hand, but smiled faintly. "It's time for you to get married. It's not like playing all day."

Meng Yuanzhen's hands stagnated and his eyes darkened. "The emperor really said about the marriage, but I didn't take it to heart at all. Don't doubt my mind, because my mind is the same from beginning to end."

Jiang Jinwen sneered: "you don't follow the emperor's heart. You think the emperor will mercifully let you go. My heart has been the same since entering the palace. You'd better take care of yourself before you are on the holy mountain." when she was about to leave the rockery, she felt that her arm was quickly pulled and bumped into a warm embrace.

"I won't, I won't marry the woman next to me. You will always be the only one in my heart," Meng Yuanzhen put his chin on her head, and his eyes are full of deep feelings. "If I came out of the palace before you entered the palace, would you still be with me?"

Jiang Jinwen closed her eyes distraught. She only felt heartache like a knife, but she still had to continue to say the cold words, "you should know that I broke off my engagement with you before you rebelled. Where did I come from? Even if I didn't enter the palace, I would marry someone else, but it would never be you."

Meng Yuanzhen was stiff. He turned the man in his arms and saw a pale face with forbearance between his eyebrows and eyes, "Are you so unwilling to forgive me for usurping the throne? You also know that I usurped the throne because of our engagement, because your Father Lord Jiang despised me. He made us engaged because he thought I could be the emperor, and he destroyed the engagement because I didn't succeed successfully."

"There has never been such a thing as who is for whom, but you want it yourself," Jiang Jinwen said word by word. "Also, my father has long known that you have a different heart, which has nothing to do with whether you are the emperor or not."

Meng Yuanzhen looked at her silently for a long time, pursed his lips and said, "well, what you said is, how can you forgive me now?"

Jiang Jinwen pulled away his hand on his shoulders. In a not light tone, she said something that made people worry, "don't do these delusions. After so many things, we can't go back to the past."

Meng Yuanzhen's eyes were like obsidian. He smiled gently, "do you know who the emperor wants me to marry?"

Jiang Jinwen was stunned. She soon had the answer in her heart, but she still asked, "who is it, the woman of whose family?"

Meng Yuanzhen raised a wry smile on his lips, "it's Princess Qi..."

"You're wrong," Jiang Jinwen coldly interrupted him and said, "Zhuang Youyi is not a woman like us. She's an innocent person who came here to take refuge. The emperor's edict says that she will no longer be a concubine, but the Pearl of general Zhuang's eyes. We are the concubines of ZHENG'ER's eight classics. This is the reality and this is the truth."

"The truth I think is that I like you," Meng Yuanzhen decided to hold her in his arms. "Whoever you are, you are my wife, and I don't want a woman next to you."

Jiang Jinwen couldn't resist his strength, so she had to lean on his chest and said, "you're really crazy."

Su Rushuang put her fingers against the silk handkerchief, gently wiped the juice from her lips, and smiled at imperial concubine Chen. "It's said that there are still Royal chefs in the small kitchen of Zhaoyun hall when she was pregnant. It seems that this craft is really good. The palace wants to eat it again."

Xie Yingmei kept a gentle and humble smile, "concubine, thank you for your praise. If you have time, please come to Zhaoyun hall."

Zhuang Youyi put down her chopsticks and turned countless white eyes in her heart. It would be really inconvenient for her to come over if she could meet her every time she came to Princess Chen.

Su Rushuang had already glanced at Zhuang Youyi's disdainful eyes with the remaining light from the corner of her eyes. She immediately turned her head, stared at her with a smile and said, "how does concubine Qi think of this dish?"

Zhuang Youyi was awestruck, made a very clever gesture and replied, "very good. It's much better than Penglai hall. I often come to my mother's side in the future."

"Imperial concubine Qi's mother's family is the most prominent among our sisters, only second to imperial concubine De," Su Rushuang blew her fingernails painted with bright red Cardan and said with a smile, "why doesn't the food in Penglai hall be very good? Isn't it because the emperor goes less?"

Xie Yingmei knew the imperial concubine's words, and stubble came to imperial concubine Qi's head again. She hurriedly said, "it's normal for the emperor not to go. We all know the identity of imperial concubine Qi. If the food in Penglai hall annoys imperial concubine Qi, I'll tell imperial concubine De to go and let imperial concubine de cure the problems of these servants."

Zhuang Youyi bit her lip. "It's not bad. They are all brought from the house. The dishes are also to my taste."

"That's right. How could concubine Qi feel bad," Su Rushuang said. "Concubine Qi knows that the emperor remembers the dealer and points out your marriage for concubine Qi?"

Zhuang Youyi almost vomited out the tea she had just drunk and said in a daze, "why... I just entered the palace."

"It seems that concubine Qi doesn't know. Is Penglai hall really far away, or concubine Qi doesn't hear things outside the window," Su Rushuang snorted. "The palace also knows that you are an empty shell concubine. The emperor has no interest in you, so he pointed you out to the new one."

"Cough..." Zhuang Youyi was really choked by the tea this time. She quickly covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, squeezed a voice from between her teeth and asked, "Prince Chun?"

"Yes, but the emperor still wants to ask what you mean, or what general Zhuang means," Su Rushan looked at her calmly. "General Zhuang wants you to decide, don't you think?"

Zhuang Youyi looked at her hesitantly, "what does Prince Chun mean?"

"Prince Chun was released. What's the meaning? It's not all up to the emperor," Su Rushuang thoughtfully touched his chin. "General Zhuang seems to have mentioned something about you and the prince. Would you like to?"

Zhuang Youyi had a pair of deep eyes in her mind, but Jiang Jinwen's voice echoed in her ears, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Then think about it carefully," Su Rushuang turned her eyes, "but it seems that minjieyu, who played well, had an engagement with Prince Chun before, but later let Lord Jiang lift it. Is there such a thing?"

Zhuang Youyi was stunned and hesitated: "I don't know..."

"Then you and min Jieyu are really destined," Su Rushuang said with a slight mockery. "If you like it as the general said, go out of the palace. If you are really sad, you can also ask min Jieyu for advice and ask the person who came here." she thought the word "person who came here" was very interesting, just like talking about Mu Langhua in front of Meng Qianzhong before, "But I don't suggest you go out of the palace. After all, Prince Chun has been forgiven by the emperor, but after all, he is a man who plans to usurp the throne. Don't be hurt by him."

Zhuang Youyi's eyes darkened and her head lowered slowly. "Concubines understand."

"Well, after chatting for a long time, it's time for the palace to go back," Su Rushuang glanced at imperial concubine Chen meaningfully, "you should take care of yourself."
