Madam not allowed to remarry

Chapter 372 Cold War
Saying goodbye to the imperial concubine, Meng Baiyun calmed down, the gloom was swept away, and his fighting spirit was high.

If you want to clean up the blue clothes, there is no need for the imperial concubine to take action.

Before, she was too idle and too fond of tossing, so it's not so much to kill her.

Now she has learned her lesson.

However, Long Aohan must be on guard, now that he wants to kill Lan Yi, the degree of difficulty will naturally increase a lot.

As Meng Baiyun expected.

When she returned to Longfu, Su Er told Lan Yi to leave in the afternoon.

gone?

Long Aohan made an emergency transfer to Lan Yi.

Meng Baiyun is not in a hurry, don't let her find it, if you find her, you will definitely not go through so much fuss.

Throughout February, the state between Meng Baiyun and Long Aohan can be summed up in one word: ignore each other.

Meng Baiyun lives in the East Chamber, and Long Aohan lives in Tongyuan.

Su'er ran back and forth to fetch things for Meng Baiyun.

Simply, the old lady became addicted to living in her mother's house, and she didn't know that the young couple at home were making trouble like this.

Long Aohan blocked the news, no one passed it to the old lady's ears.

In fact, the tension between the two has not always been like this.

Long Aohan lowered his head.

At night when he was drunk, he entered her room.

He coaxed her softly, hoping to reconcile with her.

Meng Baiyun's heart also softened. After all these days of separation, the smile on Feihong's face became less and less, which made her feel guilty.

But soon the topic of the two of them turned to Lan Yi again.

In the end, of course, they broke up unhappy.

Another time, when Meng Baiyun's mother was ill, a family letter came from the family, which was received by Long Aohan. He asked someone to send it to Meng Baiyun, and later he himself came over and asked if he wanted to go back with her.

Meng Baiyun coldly threw him three words "no need".

Long Aohan's expression turned cold instantly, and he flung his sleeves away.

On the way back to her natal home, Su Er kept persuading Meng Baiyun to stop being angry with Long Aohan.

But Su Er knows something.

Meng Baiyun asked her to ignore this matter with a very cold tone, and Su Er never dared to be a peacemaker again.

Such a cold war, in March, the weather warmed up, but the iceberg between the two had not yet melted.

But as warm as the weather is, there is the entire Chang'an City.

The emperor couldn't hold back the courtiers, so he accepted the letters of remonstrance from the courtiers, issued an imperial edict, and started the spring draft.

Those women who passed the first round of state examination were sent to Chang'an city one after another in mid-February.

The second round of screening was carried out in the Zhenxiu Pavilion, and the rest were taught palace etiquette for half a month. These days, several batches will be sent into the palace every day for three rounds of selection. Those who pass will stay in the palace. Here, live in Chuxiu Palace, waiting for the final emperor's choice.If you haven't, you can only go back home in a slump.

Nowadays, the city of Chang'an is full of excitement because of the emperor's draft, and some restaurants and teahouses even secretly open the market to see who can be selected into the harem and fly to the branches.

Su Er is such an idiot, she actually went to learn from others to gamble, thinking that if she beat the daughter of the governor's family who is now in the limelight, she would definitely win a grand slam.

Meng Baiyun kindly reminded her that the girl rumored outside was amazing, she was said to be the top among these beautiful girls in appearance, education and family background, but the emperor might not like her.

Su Er still didn't believe it.

That afternoon, when Meng Baiyun came back from the palace early, Su Er excitedly approached her and asked her if she had seen the legendary governor's daughter.

After hearing what she said, Meng Baiyun knew that this daughter was among the batch sent to the palace today.

"I don't know, I didn't go to see it."

"Hope she's left, hope she's left."

Su Er clasped her fists in her hands, as if praying.

Meng Baiyun sneered: "How about staying? After a while, the emperor will still choose. If you can't get into the eyes of the emperor, it's useless to stay."

Xiunu stepped from the Zhenxiu Pavilion in Chang'an City to the Chuxiu Palace in the palace, but in the final analysis, whether she can be crowned or not depends on the emperor.

The last step is to meet the emperor, a group of five, if the emperor stays, he will nod, if he does not stay, he will wave his hand.

And those who were waved were sent back to the Zhenxiu Pavilion, waiting for the princes to choose. The princes looked down on them, so they had to go back to their homes like those who were dismissed before.

The governor's daughter that Su Er pressed.

As soon as he came to Chang'an City, he became a popular figure.

It was said that when her car was driving into the city, a strange wind blew the curtain of the car, and the appearance of Qingcheng was astonishing.

In less than a day, the title of "Little Fairy" spread throughout Chang'an City.

But anyone who has seen her has been fascinated.

Even the women were overwhelmed by her eyebrows, saying that there is nothing like nothing else in heaven and earth.

Afterwards, some gambling houses, teahouses, and restaurants in Chang'an began to carry out illegal gambling one after another.

Let's see who among these beautiful girls can enter the palace and seal the throne.

The governor's daughter is naturally the most popular candidate.

Those who weigh in will basically buy her.

Su Er was tempted by her popularity, so she ran to bet 20 taels of silver.

There is not much money, of course it is for Meng Baiyun.

But for Su Er, this is already a huge sum of money.

Therefore, she wholeheartedly hoped that the little fairy would stay in the palace and get the title.

She is also very ruthless, buy one and pay ten.

In fact, Meng Baiyun couldn't bear to tell her that your money might be in vain.

The emperor's talent show originally had a negative mentality. These days, when he went to the palace to watch Xuan poetry, every time he met the emperor, Xuan Fu was very interested in the talent show, always asking questions, and the emperor's face was always Getting darker and more impatient.

It can be seen that he agreed to the draft just to deal with those ministers.

It's hard for him, the power is firmly in his hands.

Just like at the beginning of enthronement, the foundation is not stable, and if you want to stabilize the country, you have to rely on the support of those courtiers.

On the other hand, many of these ministers were loyal and courageous people who threw their lives and blood for him on his difficult journey to seize power, and he couldn't bear to let him down.

So, they agreed to their joint request.

In fact, in the end, I am afraid that what he can keep is only a few women who are closely related to these "humerus ministers".

As for the little fairy I saw in Chang'an City, although her father is the governor, he is only a fourth-rank official in the small realm of Qianzhou.

He has no actual military power in his hands, and he did not make any special contribution to the emperor's seizure of power this time.

Therefore, he is obviously not included in the scope of "humerus important minister".

So his daughter doesn't stay and is not afraid of breaking anyone's heart.

The most important point, what made Meng Baiyun feel that this little fairy was useless was Xuan Fu's words that day.

She said that she saw a beautiful back in Fengyang Pool.

Although Meng Baiyun didn't know who it was, but she was able to bathe in Fengyang Pool, and it was so beautiful that Xuan Fu was stunned, and she had never heard of the person mentioned by the emperor, so she must have something tricky with the emperor.

Don't say that the emperor has someone he loves, and he won't accept an unnecessary person.

It is said that the person's eyebrows can be compared with the empress dowager's concubine, even if this little fairy has an alluring appearance, the emperor will probably look down on her.

Judging from the appearance, there are better people around the emperor.

From the perspective of status, her father is not a big shot.

Judging from his state of mind, the emperor is very reluctant to the draft itself.

Based on the above, she is useless.

Su Er's 20 taels of silver was for naught.

Of course, Meng Baiyun didn't tell Su Er directly, because some things can't really be said to the full, and the emperor will just point at them if they don't keep them all.

And Su Er is so energetic, even if she will be disappointed in the end, Meng Baiyun doesn't want to hit her now.

"Don't stand around here and pray blindly. I'm going out in a while, and you ask the housekeeper to prepare the carriage."

Su Er was curious: "It's already evening, where is Madam going?"

"Go out of the city and go to my mother's place."

"So what happened to Mrs. Meng?"

"I just didn't know, so I went to have a look. My mother is the person who is most afraid of disturbing me and makes me worry. She was sick last time. If Aunt Qing hadn't sent someone to secretly send me a letter, she wouldn't know how long she would have kept it from me. Although I showed her and prescribed the medicine, I was afraid that she would not take good care of herself after a few days of cold, so I still feel relieved to go and have a look."

Su Er nodded: "The servant will prepare a carriage for you."

"kindness."

Su Er went out and walked to the door, Meng Baiyun stopped her again: "Go to the warehouse to get my money for this month."

She has no money, old lady Meng's illness is a bottomless pit, and a lot of money needs to be poured into it.

And her mother was not good at housekeeping, she said that she had hired an accountant, an old scholar, who couldn't figure out the account books, and let those concubines of Meng Shijun spend all the money.

Her mother didn't tell her about the family's lack of money, and she fell to the point where she had no money to see a doctor.

Only after Aunt Qing wrote a letter did Meng Baiyun know that the family over there was going to be in dire straits.

She took all her savings in the past.

I bought new medicinal materials for the old lady, found the accountant myself, reprimanded the two concubines, saw her mother, prescribed medicine, and told her to take the medicine well, so she came back uneasy.

It has been a few days, and she wants to go over to have a look, and send another sum of money along the way. ,

She knew that her mother was afraid that she would cause trouble, so even if she couldn't make it through, she wouldn't bother to ask her, let alone ask for money.

She sent more to fill up the cashier over there, and the money would last for a while, so that the next time they would have to endure hunger for an unknown amount of time, they would tell her that they couldn't live on.

The carriage was ready, Meng Baiyun changed into thick clothes, and took Su Er out.

When he left the city, he was stopped by several soldiers.

"Stop the car, at this time, you are not allowed to leave the city."

Meng Baiyun lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Brother, why are you not allowed to leave the city?"

When the soldier saw Meng Baiyun dressed up, he knew that he was from a wealthy family, and his tone suddenly became very polite: "Returning to Madam, I made an order today, saying that I will not be allowed to enter and leave the city after this hour. If Madam is in a hurry, tomorrow Let's leave the city early in the morning."

"There are still rules." Su Er muttered, looking at Meng Baiyun, "Ma'am, what should I do?"

What else can I do, the emperor's life is difficult, and besides, she is not in a hurry.

"Go back and go tomorrow."

"Ok."
