I won't let the king succeed

Chapter 30

As soon as the poetry competition was over, An Mengjie ran back before she had time to change her clothes.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

"Your Majesty is looking for you everywhere, she is very anxious." Caiying grabbed her: "Where did you go?"

"Mother Hu...Mother Hu, come quickly, the little princess is back."

Hu's mother rushed over in a panic, and hugged An Mengjie excitedly: "God bless, little master...you are finally back, hurry... hurry... Caiying tell the empress quickly."

"I have already sent someone to notify the empress." Caiying said excitedly.

"My little ancestor, next time you go out, you must tell us." Mother Hu wiped her tears and said incoherently.

"Okay." An Mengjie didn't expect that going out this time would cause such a big commotion. She was tightly bound by Madam Hu, unable to move.

"Meng'er...Meng'er..." After a while, An Ning seemed to be running over in a panic from a long way away, looking frightened.

"Mum," Hu let go of her, An Mengjie let go of her calf and ran towards An Ning, and was embraced by Concubine An with open arms.

"My Meng'er, where have you been? Mother is so worried." An Ning's bun was messed up, and she looked like pear blossoms with rain, like a few drops of dew rolling on a blooming hibiscus flower.

An Mengjie threw herself into An Ning's arms, rubbed her head vigorously, smelled An Ning's familiar body fragrance, raised her head, and only then noticed that there was an emperor in fine clothes and a jade belt behind her.

Leaving An Ning's embrace in a panic, he stood up straight and called out: "Father."

Shouting like this, others didn't feel it, so An Mengjie hesitated a bit, either kissing her or not, always feeling like something was missing?
"Your Majesty, are you so serious that you frightened Meng'er." An Ning blamed.

The Emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Era tried his best to open his serious mouth: "Meng'er, did you and Li'er go to the poetry competition today?"

An Mengjie nodded.

"Have you seen the prince and them?"

An Ning worriedly pulled An Mengjie into her arms, An Mengjie leaned against her, relieved her anxiety, and said, "See you."

Mother Hu and the others had already bowed and retreated. Caiying served the emperor a cup of tea and also retreated. The emperor then sat down and took a sip.

He smiled and asked, "Oh? Who did you compete with? How did you win the championship?"

An Mengjie lowered her head and said in a low voice, "It's Li Mu and Ouyang Sai's, Li Mu won the first prize!"

"Oh, Li Mu has always been known as the number one talented person in the Zhao Kingdom, and it's not uncommon to win the first prize, but that Ouyang poetry is also good," the emperor said with satisfaction.

"Your Majesty, whose family is Ouyang a child of? How come the concubine has never heard of it?" An Ning also became interested.

"Ouyang is Guo Xiang's only son. He has been studying abroad. He didn't expect to come back so soon. It seems that our Zhao country has another pillar of talent." The emperor looked at An Ning's delicate red face and raised his lips.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have added another pillar of talent." An Ning said shyly and timidly, which made the emperor very happy.

"The child named Ouyang, since he is the child of Guo Xiang, why isn't his surname Guo?" An Ning was a little curious.

"Aiqie's question is a good one, and I'm also puzzled. Guo Xiang said that the child will follow his mother's surname." The emperor happily stretched out his hand and scratched An Ning's small nose.

"Your Majesty will tease his concubines," An Ning said in a low voice.

"How is it coaxing? A widow is an honor." The emperor laughed loudly while yelling at people: "Eunuch Li, quickly take the widow's four treasures of the study and give it to Li Mu and Ouyang who are competing today, and let Concubine Ning watch it."

"Cha!" The eunuch on the side took the order with a shrill voice.

Seeing the look of the two in love, An Mengjie only thought that she could no longer be a light bulb, and quickly rubbed her eyes: "Mom, I'm sleepy."

"Meng'er should go to bed after running around, Your Majesty, I'll send her there first." An Ning quickly hugged An Mengjie to the bed, and when she was settled, the emperor had already gone out to work.

Day by day passed quickly. Ever since An Mengjie sneaked out that time, An Ning and Mama Hu never dared to let go. Like the wolf-defending grandmother, they kept guarding against Zhao Li, fearing that she would abduct Meng'er again. , Zhao Li felt strange and boring, and also felt aggrieved, didn't he just bring Meng'er to see the world, how did he come to Concubine An, and became a member of the crackdown.

"The house is for fire protection and anti-theft, this time Concubine An is for anti-Zhao Li." Zhao Ni, who was at school, secretly said to Zhao Rui with a smile.

But An Mengjie had a good time at home, at least she had An Ning, and Mama Hu, Caiying and Hongling were with her.

That day Zhao Li was out of school, and heard that there was a big flower house in Anning, so he rushed over here. Although it was late autumn, there were a hundred flowers blooming inside, peonies, peonies, jasmines, crabapples, and rhododendrons were all in different seasons. But they bloomed at the same time in this greenhouse.In the words of the wet nurse Hu Shi: "Niangniang is a fairy descended from the sky. These flowers must have been ordered by the Jade Emperor to bloom at the same time."

"Your Majesty is very fond of your Majesty, and it is only right that these flowers and plants make your Majesty happy. Besides, no matter how beautiful the flowers in the garden are, they are not worth one-tenth of your Majesty's." Caiying said.

Hong Ling also smiled and said: "Our lady is economical, how can a few gardeners have as much money as the opera singers and singers in their mansions, other people's houses raise opera singers and kabukis, our house raises flowers, others raise ears, we raise them Eye."

Mrs. Hu shook her head and said: "How many years have I been in the palace, when there are too many people, there will be more right and wrong. Our empress is quiet and knows how to worry about flowers and grass."

right!Caiying and Hongling both raised their hands and feet in favor.

Whether those concubines, opera singers, or singers are good, who can worry about it? As long as our empress is honest and kind, we can't get around them, so it's better to stay away from them.

Fortunately, the empress likes this mouthful.

But An Ning is simple, women in the palace are not that simple, especially those two concubines, Concubine Chen and Concubine Ning, who come to An Ning when they have nothing to do. Alcohol, but you can't tell An Ning to kick these people out.

However, many concubines looked at An Ning's momentum of being favored, and they really wanted to curry favor, and sent a lot of novelty gadgets. She would rather offend a gentleman than a woman, let alone a woman in the harem. An Ning had no choice but to accept her. Regardless of who sent it, it must not be used by the empress or the princess.

What An Mengjie often saw was Hu Shi's gentle appearance towards them. When she saw her long face suddenly, she was shocked.

However, as soon as Hu turned his face, the cold face disappeared immediately, and his gentle and amiable appearance appeared again.

An Mengjie could understand that she would not eat what was given to her or wear clothes from others.Not to mention the palace and the palace, even ordinary rich and noble families have a lot of fighting methods in the back house. She used to watch it a lot in novels and TV, especially concubines who are descendants of the royal family are often killed.

Thinking about this, An Mengjie became worried about An Ning for no reason. Since ancient times, concubines have been a difficult profession, and they are all masters of struggle in the palace. The fighters among concubines are not as popular as flowers, and as good as people, not to mention beautiful. Chi Mu also said that when An Ning gets old, another young beauty will come.
