What To Do if You're the Villain and the Heroine Likes You

Chapter 285 Countdown to Society's Death

The matter of the Ministry of Rites revising the dowry several times to prevent Marquis Wu Qing from marrying Nanzhu has already spread among the small circles of some high-ranking officials and aristocrats.

Everyone knew that Minister of Rites was the staunch servant of Princess Xiaoyue, so they naturally thought that this matter was ordered by the princess, and the purpose was to prevent the Meng family from marrying Marquis Wuqing.

But in fact, this matter has nothing to do with Meng Qingqian, even she just heard about it.

Li Gongqin, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, had nothing to do with He Yuanhao, and it had nothing to do with Li Gongqin who He Yuanhao chose as his daughter-in-law.

In the entire court, except for himself, only the queen mother has the ability to command Li Gongqin.

The Queen Mother's Palace.

Meng Qingqian was dressed in red, sitting on the first place of the Queen Mother's attack.

The queen mother has always been weak when dealing with her own daughter, and it was her own fault to prevent Nanzhu and He Yunxiao from getting married, so she said in a flattering tone: "Qingqian..."

Meng Qingqian said helplessly: "Mother, didn't I tell you to stop meddling in political affairs?"

The queen mother said cautiously: "The eldest princess is married, this is not a political matter."

"Of course it is a political matter. Since ancient times, state affairs have been my Meng family's affairs, and Meng's affairs are also state affairs. The eldest princess is the emperor's sister. How can weddings and funerals be taken lightly?"

The queen mother was speechless by her own daughter, so she had to answer "yes, yes, yes".

Meng Qingqian said again: "Since my mother promised Marquis Wu Qing to marry Nanzhu, but in the end let Li Shangshu delay, why?"

The Empress Dowager said seriously: "It's really good to let Nanzhu marry into the Marquis of Wuqing's house. The Marquis of Wuqing's family is in full swing, and it is possible to be promoted to Duke in the future. I have met his mistress, Miss Zhang, and she has a good heart. She would not make things difficult for Nanzhu. "

Meng Qingqian was puzzled, "Since this is the case, why didn't the empress mother go along with the flow and achieve a marriage?"

The queen mother said firmly: "I don't feel right. Qingqian, the queen mother feels that if you let Nan Zhu marry into the Hou's mansion like this, you will suffer a big loss in the future! How can the queen mother let her good daughter suffer a loss? Naturally Procrastinate and see if there are any variables."

Meng Qingqian was speechless.

Her queen mother is not stupid, but she is superstitious about her unfounded intuition.

When the queen mother was in power, she just instinctively believed that Han Wenxin was not bad, but she was negligent in guarding against it, and sent away half of the civilian officials and most of the generals who were originally on their side in vain.

"Queen, those in high positions must not act on emotions."

"The queen mother knows, so this is not to let Qingqian take care of things. Wait another three years, when your brother grows up, we mother and daughter will be liberated."

Looking at her extremely optimistic mother, Meng Qingqian sighed secretly.Outside, there is Yan Guo covetously, and inside, Prime Minister Han secretly confronts each other.People in high positions want to be liberated?It's not that easy.

"Queen, Xiaoyue went to see Nanzhu."

"Okay, you go."

"By the way," Meng Qingqian walked two steps back and said, "The Chengmao Palace next to my Changhe Palace has been uninhabited for many years, why don't Nanzhu move out of Linxuan Palace. Linxuan Palace is too remote to do things. It's not convenient."

Although Meng Qingqian held great power, the Empress Dowager was still in charge of matters in the harem.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said, "No way. Your father's imperial edict 'Wei Nu lives in Linxuan', have you forgotten?"

Afterwards, the always open-minded Empress Dowager said in a sour tone: "At the beginning, Nan Zhu's mother, Concubine Xuan, first entered the harem, and with the title of 'the most beautiful woman in the world', she doted on the Sixth Palace. She was in the limelight for a while. She almost overwhelmed the empress of this Palace. However, even so, Concubine Xuan still lives in the remote Linxuan Palace. Even the late Emperor never intended to let her change palaces."

"Forget it," said the Empress Dowager, "it's all old stuff. What's more, Nanzhu is getting married soon, and she won't be able to live in another palace for a few days. Let's live in Linxuan Palace for now."

……

Outside Linxuan Palace, the whole palace greeted Princess Xiaoyue at the door.

Meng Qingqian sat on a palanquin carried by eight people, dressed in red, with a grim expression.Whether it's the golden phoenix embroidered on the red dress, or the silent and well-equipped waitress with a knife before and after the sedan chair, these foils all show her majesty invisibly.

Xing'er and other maids had long bowed to the ground, under such coercion, they didn't even have the courage to look directly at Meng Qingqian.

His Highness has a good temper and a kind heart, so it doesn't matter if he usually fights.But His Highness's older sister, Princess Xiaoyue, is completely different.That is a female devil who is about to be punished, exiled, and murdered at every turn.

Xing'er still remembers that the last time she saw Her Highness Xiaoyue, she was almost sent to the Jiaofang Division by the Eldest Princess because she offended His Highness with her words.

For girls from good families, the Jiaofang Division is a place where life is worse than death.

When she landed tenderly, Meng Qingqian was helped to stand up by Jian Ling who was waiting at the side.

With a slight smile on her face, she looked at the only woman present who did not kneel and said, "Nan Zhu."

Compared to Meng Qingqian, Meng Qingrou was much more innocent. She was naturally happy when her sister came to see her.

She smiled happily: "Nan Zhu pays homage to my sister."

"Let's go."

"Ah."

The two sisters walked side by side towards Linxuan Palace.Meng Qingrou was used to being taken by He Yunxiao, she subconsciously hugged Meng Qingqian's arm, and then touched her hand with her small hand.

Meng Qingrou has only walked side by side with two people in her life, one is her sister Meng Qingqian, and the other is He Yunxiao.I have been getting along with He Yunxiao before, and I have formed a subconscious habit.

Meng Qingqian looked at her younger sister's skillful movements, and put question marks all over her face on the spot.

Meng Qingqian:? ? ? ? ? ?
Meng Qingrou didn't realize it at first, but when she realized it, her face flushed immediately, she was extremely shy, and wished she could disappear from this world on the spot.The only fortunate thing is that there are only two sisters here, and no one else sees them.

"Sister, no, it's not what you think!"

With a cold face, Meng Qingqian said coldly: "Does that thief He Yunxiao often come to Linxuan Palace to see you?"

"Yeah, no..."

"No? This palace will ask the palace guards not to let him in again."

"Hey, sister! Don't! He, he doesn't come here often. Just, once in a while."

After telling a lie, Meng Qingrou's face became hot.Very ashamed.

Before, she was furious at He Yunxiao because he lied to her, but now, she herself has become a liar.Now I always feel sorry for He Yunxiao. At that time, He Yunxiao was bullied by her to the point of being submissive, and he couldn't even speak.

It was a matter of royal family's face, Meng Qingqian did not intend to delve further into this matter.

She knew in her heart that Nanzhu said "once in a while", it was absolutely unbelievable.According to He Yunxiao's lust and guts, it is estimated that he will come to Nanzhu's place in two or three days.Otherwise, Nanzhu's arms-folding movement would never be so proficient.

"Nanzhu."

"what?"

"Which step have you and He Yunxiao reached?"

Meng Qingrou's pretty face blushed so much. "What is my sister talking about..."

Meng Qingqian snorted coldly: "If that dog thief dares to take your body before getting married, and ruin the reputation of my Meng family, I will personally chop off his crime tool!"

Meng Qingrou shook her sister's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister, no..."

"There is no best."

"Sister, sister, come here with Nanzhu, Nanzhu made you a sachet. This sachet is made of mind-scenting grass and bitter leaves. Its fragrance can relieve sister's headache and help her sleep at night. Look, here, Nan Zhu has embroidered her sister's name!"

The embroidering skill of this sachet is really not very good, so it is barely enough, but seeing that it was made by her sister, Meng Qingqian solemnly put this thing in her arms.

Rubbing her sister's face, Meng Qingqian said: "Okay, my sister will always keep it with me. Treat it as a talisman given to my sister by Nan Zhu."

"Ah."
