Spring apricots around the palace wall

Chapter 52
I don't know if someone said: "The Queen Mother should like the emperor, right? After all, childhood sweethearts have been in love with each other since childhood."

Someone else said, "Don't you know? Back then, in order to marry the emperor, the empress defied her father's order, and that was called a vigorous love."

They chatted vigorously, Fang Concubine looked at Ruan Wei and said with concern: "Sister Ruan Fei, your face is not very good-looking."

"Have it?"

Ruan Wei raised the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly.

The friendship between the emperor and the queen that they talked about with relish is precisely the knife that was inserted deepest in the queen's heart.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xuan Wei held Chu Meng's face and kissed her gently and slowly for a long time. As always, she didn't get any response between her lips and teeth.No matter how he induces it, she does not resist or cater to it.

Xuan Wei let go of her, wiped away the traces on her lips with his fingertips, and said in her ear, "Yu Jichang didn't want to promise you to me back then, and for the first time I had the idea of ​​being a prince. Standing here No one will say that I am unworthy of you. I have never cared about Yu Jichang's arrogance and contempt for me, because he is your only father. Can you understand the compromise I made for you?"

Yu Chumeng was dumbfounded.This means that he didn't remember the hatred he was despised at the time, and he didn't kill her father.
He actually only remembered his father's contempt for him, but he couldn't remember how his father helped him after he became a son-in-law.

This is his heart, his bearing.

Yu Chumeng said duplicitously, "Understood."

When Xuan Wei approached her lips again, she subconsciously leaned back to avoid it.

His body froze, he let go of her after a pause, looked sideways at the sky of fireworks, and a self-mockery tugged on his lips.
-
I thought that the harem wanted more women, but in the past few days, Xuan Wei never mentioned Xia Qiuling.

Everyone laughed and said, it seems that the girl is just a flash in the pan, and Concubine Ming can't worry about it anymore.

However, based on Xuan Wei's eyes looking at Xia Qiuling at that time, Yu Chumeng dared to conclude that it was a matter of time before this woman entered the palace.

Ruan Wei was more worried about Yu Jichang. After everyone dispersed, she stayed in Fengyi Palace and asked, "Why are you worried about the situation of your lord in the imperial city, and why did you acquiesce that the emperor called your lord to return to Beijing? decision?"

Yu Jichang in the past was so beautiful, and there was so much jealousy in the dark. He had been in the officialdom for so many years, and most of them were people who were once suppressed by him, and now are afraid that he will regain his glory.Returning to the court is not an easy task.

Yu Chumeng never wanted to hide anything from Ruan Wei, and said truthfully: "In that letter, my father said he wanted to come back."

Ruan Wei was stunned for a moment. The letter was written by Mr. Yu in front of her. She had read it. The letter said that it was about the customs of Huainan. She didn't read the meaning at all.

Yu Chumeng explained: "My father repeatedly mentioned in the letter that the milkweed in Huainan grows well. When I was a child, my father told me that the milkweed was scattered everywhere by the wind. When I return to my homeland, even if I die, I would rather die in my homeland. So when Xuanwei talked about letting his father come back, I agreed."

Having said that, Yu Chumeng felt a little tired and had a headache, so he reached out and pinched his brows.

Ruan Wei walked behind her, put both hands on her temples, rubbed it in circles, and whispered: "When I was in Huainan, Lord Yu asked me how the queen treats the emperor. I said that the emperor and the queen are of the same mind, Lord Yu I don't believe it. He said that the queen has the most stubborn temperament. Like him, it is difficult to bow her head with a knife on her neck."

The dizziness in her head was dissipated by her, and Yu Chumeng chuckled, "Yeah, I'm like a father."

Ruan Wei went to Huainan with the Queen's token, and Master Yu had no doubts about her, and spoke almost everything to her.Mrs. Yu also treated her like a daughter. In those days, Mrs. Yu made soup for her to drink and made all kinds of cakes to fill her stomach when she was busy.This couple is very nice, this is Ruan Wei's impression.

Yu Chumeng closed his eyes and said, "Huainan is not safe. Instead of sitting there waiting to be killed, it is better to go ahead. You should have turned against him five years ago."

Ruan Wei also mentioned earlier that the plague in Huainan was not like a natural disaster.The climate and environment of Huainan should not have plague.

But the sky is vast, and it is impossible to know who did it.It's just that Yu Jichang has been reduced to this point, and he has to kill them all. I am afraid that it is not only for profit, but some old grudges that never die.

Even if there are old grievances, they will not let it go, and they must not stay in Huainan and wait for the other party to take another shot.

At the beginning, she had persuaded her father to rebel. The imperial power was in her own hands, and she could die happily if she was defeated. What is this now?
Ruan Wei was startled and her hands stopped.

Yu Chumeng noticed her worries and said lightly: "With our current strength, we are far away. My father is not a reckless person. His way of being an official is a way of dealing with people, and we don't need to worry about it."

She looked calm, but she was just trying to keep her calm so that no one else would worry about her.She gets headaches, which is why she is so worried these days.

Knowing that worrying is useless, but the stakes are very important, how could she not think more about it.

Ruan Wei hummed softly, and massaged her temples patiently and evenly with her fingers, and said, "It coincides with the old age and frailty of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, please resign from the office. Several ministers proposed to let Mr. Yu temporarily take the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household. ."

Yu Chumeng closed her eyes and enjoyed her massage. Her technique was very good. After several tweaks, she felt a lot more comfortable. She smiled and said:

"Do you think it's just right? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xuan Wei just wanted to give my father a spare job, so Master Tu found an excuse to resign. Before my father was appointed Prime Minister, he was the Minister of the Household, and when Master Tu left, There is no better person for this position than my father."

Of course, Master Tu didn't say anything.

It was just at the time of her birthday banquet that Master Tu said something to her: "The honor of the minister is given by the master. If the empress is of any use to her servants, the minister will definitely do her best to kill her."

Xia Qiuling was suddenly remembered by the emperor one night after more than ten days and summoned to the palace.

Once he was favored, the next day, he became a noble person of Xia.

In the early morning, the Fengyi Palace was bustling. The concubines and concubines came to greet the empress. All of them looked at Concubine Ming. Concubine Ming had a livid face, and her face was ugly.

Fang Concubine couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ming Fei, where did Lord Xiahou find such a person?"

Concubine Ming was very impatient: "If you want to know, ask my father to go."

She spoke so badly that no one else could continue to ask questions.

According to the rules, Xia Guiren had just received the seal, so she must come to Fengyi Palace to see the queen as soon as possible, but it was almost time, and half a person was not seen.

The big guys should have left long ago, and today they all wanted to stay here and wait for Xia Guiren, so they didn't leave.

Yu Chumeng sat on the phoenix chair and yawned, "Look at this palace, I won't be able to wait for Xia Guiren today, all the sisters are gone."

Ruan Wei originally wanted to stay for a while, but seeing how sleepy the queen looked, she also withdrew from Fengyi Palace with everyone.

On the palace road, Concubine Ming stopped her.

"Concubine Ruan, is there a misunderstanding between us?"
