In such fine weather, the imperial concubine didn't stay in Zhongcui palace. Even a pair of princes and princesses didn't know where to go. Xue ronghua wandered around the palace. I think I might as well stay with Chu Zongge in the palace.
At the top of the tree, two Orioles were crying. Xue ronghua stood under the tree, whistling and teasing the birds. Suddenly, he saw the maid at the gate of the palace coming in a hurry.
"Aunt, the emperor is coming. But the imperial concubine is not in the palace now."
Xue ronghua was stunned and whispered, "didn't you tell the emperor that the empress is not here now?"
"No." the maid quickly shook her head. "But the emperor said it wouldn't hurt if the imperial concubine wasn't there, so he had entered the main hall."
Xue ronghua thought about it in his heart. The uninvited guest didn't come to Zhongcui palace to see the imperial concubine. Did he come to find himself.
"It's all right. You go down first. I'll have tea with the emperor." Xue ronghua paused for fear that the maid in waiting would want to go somewhere else. "The emperor should wait for the imperial concubine to come back, but he must not be left out."
The tea cup was foggy. Bursts of tea came to his nostrils. Meng Qianzhong bowed his head and sniffed. "The tea in Zhongcui palace is really different from that in other palaces. It smells like a special aroma. It should be sent by the Luo family to the palace for the imperial concubine to taste."
Chen Wanqian said with a smile, "if the emperor likes this tea, wait until the imperial concubine comes back. I'll take some back to Donghua palace."
"No," Meng Qianchong said with his lips closed and waved his hand. "I don't have to taste this tea. The Luo family is busy preparing for the army now. How can I let them worry about some tea?"
Xue ronghua observed Meng Qianzhong who was talking and laughing with Chen Wanqian through the gap. He lowered his eyes and entered the main hall, saluted him YingYing and said, "see the emperor, slave."
Meng Qianchong looked up at the woman in Aquamarine clothes and asked unexpectedly, "aren't you with Duanwang in the palace? Why did you go back to Zhongcui palace?"
"The maid remembered that there were still some things on the side of the imperial concubine, so she hurried back," Xue ronghua nodded slightly. "The emperor will have tea here. The imperial concubine and her good concubines have gone out to bask in the sun and won't come back for a while."
Meng Qianchong half narrowed his eyes, looked at her face getting whiter and whiter in the strong sun, hooked his lips and said with a smile, "since the imperial concubine will not come back for a while and a half, you can sit down and talk with me."
Xue ronghua hesitated at the bottom of his heart and subconsciously said, "emperor, I'm afraid I'm a slave..."
Meng Qianchong raised his eyebrows with a hint of threat. "I don't know your identity. Can you sit down and talk with me if I show you?"
Xue ronghua frowned, swept the strange Chen Wanqian with the rest of his eyes, and smiled: "if the emperor is really boring here, the slave maid will talk with the emperor."
Meng Qianzhong nodded contentedly and raised his hand to Chen Wanqian on one side. "Go out and wait. I want to talk to the princess to be."
Chen Wanqian was stunned. He retreated outside the hall with a smile on his face and closed the door tightly.
The bright sunshine came into the darkness with the closing of the door. Meng Qian patted the nearest wooden chair and smiled at her. "I didn't expect to have a chance to get along with you alone. Sit down."
Xue ronghua took a long sigh of relief and looked straight into his eyes. "The eunuch around you is a very powerful figure. He has a pair of ghost eyes. Why don't you remove him earlier?"
"You said Chen Wanqian," Meng Qianzhong hugged his chest in his spare time. "I remember you hated him before. Now it's still like this. It hasn't changed at all."
"The imperial concubine and Su Rushuang hate him very much. They are always between the harem and the emperor, and they are full of bad water. Who wouldn't hate it," Xue ronghua gently pulled up the corner of his lips. "I'm afraid he was also in the East China Palace."
"Do you know who he is," Meng Qianchong said with a flash of evil in his eyes. "He is the first emperor's brother and my youngest uncle."
Xue ronghua suddenly opened his eyes and said in disbelief: "how can Chen Wanqian be the first emperor's brother? Isn't he an old eunuch? How can he be your uncle?"
"No one knows about this. The former Emperor beat him to amnesia in the Department of careful punishment, and then asked him to become my personal eunuch," Meng Qianzhong said with a soft smile. "Unfortunately, he didn't have amnesia at all. Not only did he not have amnesia, but he also got together with the former empress dowager. They conspired to poison the former Emperor's medicine and let me succeed smoothly."
Xue ronghua's eyes could not hide his surprise, but which imperial house was not watered by blood. Ordinary people can only make an amazing expression, "no wonder you are so violent..."
"Have you ever seen an emperor who is not violent," Meng Qianchong bit his thin lips. "Do you think your Duan Wang is a good man? I'm afraid he was much more cruel than me when he hurt the king of Jin and the prince himself."
Xue ronghua raised a trace of ridicule, "don't compare with him. The reason why he laid hands on the prince and the king of Jin is that they can't tolerate him. We just want to live. Do you really think we will be willing to be fish and meat and be cut by others?"
"That's wonderful. It's a good image of a prospective princess to defend the prince," Meng Qianzhong said without any emotion in his eyes. "If you are the prince or the king of Jin, you will have some other wonderful words. Everyone has great ambition in their hearts, but they just make a beautiful excuse for their own masters."
Xue ronghua flashed a sullen look between his eyebrows and eyes and stared at him impatiently. "If you want to provoke the relationship between me and Duanwang, you might as well go back to your Donghua palace and dream."
"I came to Zhongcui palace to discuss with the imperial concubine about the Luo family, but you naturally came uninvited. It's really a big surprise," Meng Qianzhong touched his chin with interest. "I have something important to tell you."
"If it's about Donghua palace, you'd better not say it. I have no spare time to listen," Xue ronghua raised his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly. "If you want me to help you guard the palace, you seem to have a bad memory and forget which country I'm from."
Meng Qianchong remained silent for a long time and glanced at her lightly. "Did the imperial concubine tell you anything? Does she know your true identity? I remember the relationship between you is also quite good."
"When I was a child, she didn't know about my rebirth," Xue ronghua said, putting his hands behind his back and lowering his eyelids. "I'd rather go outside to enjoy the spring of the prosperous times than waste time with you here. If Meng Yuanzhen came to the city, I'm afraid the sky would turn blood red."
Meng Qianchong clenched his teeth and sneered: "you seem to be looking forward to seeing me fall in embarrassment. You didn't like Meng Yuanzhen before. I hope he can be emperor."
"He should have been the emperor. I know more or less what the former empress dowager did," Xue ronghua said calmly. "You know very well in your heart. Besides, you are not the material to be the emperor. Meng Yuanzhen should not have the heart..."
"He will definitely. I killed his favorite woman and sent her my head. He will definitely stab me and hang my body in the vegetable market," Meng Qianzhong said with a smile. "Since I lost Mu Jiajun and you, my country has collapsed and confused. It's better to have you around."
Xue ronghua looked into his eyes very seriously. "I think you have said too much today. If you say too much, you will lose. I think the imperial concubine is coming back. Tell her what's important in advance. After that, go to see the pregnant good concubine, go to the study to approve the folding, and think about how to deal with Meng Yuanzhen with several ministers. Don't waste time on me."
Meng Qianchong clenched his hands tightly into fists. A trace of incomprehension flashed at the bottom of his eyes and said silently, "is that all we can do? You will never forgive me, will you?"
"I said earlier that the purpose of coming here is to avenge me and Xinglou," Xue ronghua showed a relieved smile. "We have never been before, because I am Xue ronghua of Chu Zongge in this life, not mu Langhua of Meng Qianzhong."
"So you don't want to do it. Do you want to take revenge by Meng Yuanzhen, a traitor?" Meng Qianzhong has thousands of thoughts and thoughts lingering in his mind. "Why don't you kill me yourself? It's more enjoyable."
"The way of revenge should be decided by me. Don't worry. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end," Xue ronghua smiled back at him, like a bright spring light hitting his chest. "I don't want to do it because I'm from the state of Qin and the prospective Princess of Duanwang, the eldest prince of the state of Qin. I'm afraid I can't interfere in the internal affairs of the state of Qi."
Meng Qianzhong leaned softly against the seat, and the plush armrest fell to the ground. His heart was like a wilderness burned by a wild fire. There was no active vitality, only the despair at the bottom of his eyes, "you... I still treat you..."
Xue ronghua closed his eyes and suddenly came up with the shadow of a good concubine, "that good concubine... Did you let her into the palace because she looks like me?"
Meng Qianzhong said coldly, "since you know, you don't have to ask me."
Xue ronghua sighed, "a good concubine is innocent. Don't let her down easily. She is one of the few women in the palace who doesn't fall in love with you because of power and glory. With such a close person around, no matter what field she falls into, she also has a backer in her heart, which is not too hopeless."
Meng Qianchong's eyes fixed on her emaciated figure, lifted up the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "I'm not interested in doubles. What's the meaning if it's not true."
Xue ronghua didn't want to answer his words. When she was about to brush her sleeves to go out, someone outside opened the door in advance, and the strong glare of the sun poured into the main hall, which made her couldn't help covering half of her face. A figure flashed in, suddenly fell at Meng Qianzhong's feet, and said in a trembling voice: "emperor, something happened to a good concubine..."
Meng Qianzhong's body stiffened, but her eyes looked at Xue ronghua. She showed an innocent expression and spread her hand, saying that she didn't need to hurt a pregnant woman.
"Isn't she with the imperial concubine?" Meng Qianzhong's eyes darkened, as if covered by a bad premonition brewing in his heart. "How could something happen to her? Isn't she just going out to bask in the sun..."
Chen Wanqian said with a cry, "the imperial concubine took good care of her good concubines all the way, but they went near Huayang palace and met Rufei's empress..."
