What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

Chapter 11 It turns out that the Meng family will also feel guilty

He is clearly in the prime of his age, and his body is extremely strong, and he can flirt with a beautiful woman all night.

How could he be an imposing true dragon emperor?
Sensing that the emperor was in a bad mood, the queen held up a cup of fine Qiongyao wine to the emperor.

"Why did you suddenly start drinking alone? Tonight, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, why don't your concubines accompany the emperor to have a few drinks?"

Although he doesn't like the empress's old age, but he is always a wife, and the old emperor still gives her some face.

"Queen please"

"Emperor please"

The emperor and the empress chatted and laughed, which attracted praise from the audience for "the love between husband and wife is deep".

Concealing the viciousness in the deepest part of her eyes, the empress Xianliang Shude waved her sleeves: "Don't make fun of me, I'm an old couple, why are we talking about husband and wife?"

"I only hope that the world will be peaceful in the great prosperity, the emperor's dragon body will be healthy, and the princes and princesses will grow up vigorously."

The words are very beautiful.

The wives have to admire from the bottom of their hearts that the empress is indeed a model of motherhood in the world.

The concubines in the harem all bowed their heads without saying a word.

Especially... Concubine Meng.

Sensing that Concubine Meng was not reconciled, the queen raised the corners of her lips slightly.

Having controlled the harem for many years, no one knows exactly what the little ninety-nine queen has in mind.

The concubine Meng, the daughter of Meng Shangshu's prostitute, is twenty years old, and she is not born outstandingly, only a pair of fox eyes are really seductive, which makes the emperor want to stop several times.

After coming and going, the little concubine gradually became ambitious.

I don't have so much respect for myself, the queen who has been 'out of favor' for many years.

Concubine Meng...

The Empress unhurriedly peeled the grapes in her hand, slowly stuffed them into her mouth, wiped off the juice with a silk handkerchief, her eyes were soft like water.

-

At the same time, Lin Ximeng also noticed Concubine Meng.

According to the memory of the original owner.

The grandfather's family was just the lowest level of the people in the capital, living a poor life without enough food to eat. When the poorest, my grandmother had to wash and mend other people's homes to survive.

Fortunately, his son was up to date, and his uncle, Meng Zhengye, studied and made progress since he was a child.

After ten years of cold window no one asked, he became famous all over the world.

In the 28th year of Xirui in the Dasheng Dynasty, Meng Zhengye, who was only 17 years old, went to high school in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that the Meng family is too poor.

So poor that even the handsome Tanhualang, few decent families are willing to marry their daughters.

Marriage is also a family matter, if it is done too lowly, it will make people laugh.

Therefore, Meng Zhengye was dispatched to the side courtyard as a minor official.

Year after year of ups and downs, he finally accumulated his wealth step by step, earning a five-year-old mansion in the capital and a [-]-acre farm in the suburbs of Beijing.

Since then, there have been decent people talking about marriage.

Ever since Meng Zhengye married Qiu Shi, the granddaughter of the Qiu family, a scholar of the previous dynasty, his official career has finally been smoothed out.

From the small official of the household department, to the servant of the household department, to the present minister.

The Meng family, which was unknown back then, has become a new noble in the imperial court, and Meng Zhengye has also become an important minister of the emperor, the humerus of the imperial court.

His daughter, Meng Yuxi, even became a concubine when she entered the palace, and became the lord of the palace.

Now, Concubine Meng, who is in a high position, is dressed brightly, so there is no shabby appearance in memory.

Pulling away from her memories, Lin Ximeng noticed that Concubine Meng was looking at her.

She smiled faintly, raised her glass and took a sip of her cold tea, her gaze went straight to meet him.

Concubine Meng, who was full of jewels and emeralds, froze suddenly, then quickly calmed down, with swords erected in her eyes.

Lin Ximeng sneered and looked away.

"Climbing to this position by stepping on the loyal bones of the Lin family, it turns out that the Meng family would also feel guilty."

Suddenly the sleeve moved slightly, Lin Ximeng turned her head and saw Qingqing winking, it turned out that Aunt Fangrui, who was beside the queen, walked by.

With a clever mind, Lin Ximeng hurriedly changed her clothes and left the banquet.

-

In the side hall, Lin Ximeng knelt on the ground.

"Slaves see the empress"

Behind the screen, the queen hummed coldly as she changed her clothes.

"Miss Lin is really arrogant. If I don't take the initiative to summon you, it will be difficult for me to even meet you."

After putting on her clothes, the queen came out holding Fang Rui's arm, half lying on the seat and rubbing her temples.

"Not to mention waiting for the news from you"

Lin Ximeng pressed her forehead to the ground and dared not get up.

"I'm terrified, it's really..."

"I don't have time to listen to your excuses," the queen interrupted impatiently.

"Is there any news about the Sixth Prince's Mansion?" The queen pressed her temple fingers harder and harder.

Lin Xi thought about it for a while, and said carefully: "The prince likes to drink, and likes to go to Ruyifang to find beauties, but...he doesn't seem to like Miss Zhou, who was newly given to him by his wife, and he still can't favor her."

It's all bits and pieces.

The queen frowned: "I didn't call you here on a special trip to listen to these things, it was something else, important information"

Lin Ximeng muttered, her small body trembling.

"Important information..."

He muttered to himself for a long while and didn't say why.

The queen was suddenly annoyed, and raised her voice by slapping the table: "I thought you were a smart person, but you are also useless."

She suddenly took out a letter from her sleeve and threw it in front of Lin Ximeng.

"From northern Xinjiang, your family letter from the Lin family"

Lin Ximeng looked at the bright red envelope and dared not move for a moment.

The queen said again.

"There are 130 members of your Lin family, all of whom are doing hard labor in northern Xinjiang. Your elderly grandmother, your frail mother, your virtuous aunt, and your childhood nurse, your foster mother..."

The queen took a long breath: "Lin Ximeng, you said that the northern border is freezing cold, and it's normal for more than 100 people to die in the wasteland, isn't it?"

A chill ran straight from the soles of the feet to the forehead, the hairs all over stood on end, and the heart seemed to be ravaged and torn by something, it was painful and cold.

"Empress Empress, you..."

"Don't beg, Lin Ximeng," the queen interrupted her: "I don't owe you anything, this letter from the family is already an extra favor, and if you want anything in the future, you have to earn it yourself."

Lin Ximeng bit her lip, and suddenly raised her head after a while.

"Then why did the empress send another Zhou family? She has neither the beauty of a concubine nor any skills. She just haunts me like a dog's skin plaster every day."

"Oh right, I ignored her, she seems to be clinging to Zhao Liangdi again."

The queen smiled coldly.

"There are too many beauties sent out by this Palace, they can't all be eyeliner, that's too conspicuous"

"This is also to tell you that if you are disobedient, I have plenty of people who can replace you, and I don't have much patience."

I want to choose the best prince candidate from among the five princes.

The queen's first requirement is that she must be obedient and in control.

She didn't want to choose someone who was ambitious, and use her as a springboard, and after ascending to the throne, there would be another drama of killing relatives.

What she wants is the best partner.

Lin Ximeng was a little relieved.

It turned out that the Zhou family was nothing.

"It was Ximeng who misunderstood the empress"

She kowtowed heavily: "Don't worry, in the future, Ximeng will be devoted to the Empress Empress wholeheartedly, and will be your eyes and ears."
