The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 170 General Salted Fish
The guess in my heart was confirmed, and the eldest princess showed a comfortable smile on her face: "Great, Ling'er can finally get her wish." But this joy did not last long, and the eldest princess thought that the imperial decree had not yet been released. So, she stared at Li Meiying suspiciously, and after a long time said calmly, "Since the emperor decided to make Na Ling'er the empress, why didn't you issue an order to tell the world, don't you come here to coax me on purpose?" Bar!"

The eldest princess's words were extremely unpleasant to Li Meiying's ears, and Li Meiying snorted coldly and said: "The emperor is still in the period of filial piety, after the decree is issued at this time, what will the minister of civil and military think? What will the people of the world think? Fortunately, you and the first emperor are brothers and sisters of the same father and mother. He passed away, and I didn't feel half sad when I saw you. I only cared about whether Yang Xianling could be the queen. Also, you'd better be polite to me Otherwise, I may not know what to say in front of the emperor, and then your precious daughter's post will be suspended, and you should be clear in your heart that the emperor's favorite is me."

After being reminded by Li Sister-in-law, the eldest princess was shocked. It was not that Wei Jinyang liked Li Sister-in-law, which shocked the eldest princess. What shocked the eldest princess was that she was only interested in seizing power and profit, and forgot about Wei Jinyang. Still in the period of filial piety, if this matter gets out, it will be a serious crime of losing one's head. Disrespect to the first emperor, even if she is the eldest princess, she can't afford it.

Looking at the livid eldest princess with a frightened face, Li Sister-in-law flashed a sneering smile: "I have already begged for the position of queen for Xianling. Three months later, once the emperor's filial piety is over, Naturally, the decree will be made, you just wait patiently during this period!" After she finished speaking, she was about to take Yunyu away, but suddenly she seemed to think of something, so she stopped and said: "Eldest Princess, I promise you I have done it, starting today, I don't owe you anything anymore, the harem is a place of right and wrong, you are not the only one who is eyeing the position of queen, you better be cautious in your words and deeds, I have no responsibility to help Xianling secure her position as queen bit."

After Li Meiying finished speaking, she held Yunyu's hand and left. She said what should be said and what should not be said. From now on, we can only see if Yang Xianling has the queen's life. The queen's position is not so good. It's easy to sit on.

Li Meiying left, and Yang Xianling came to the main hall. Seeing that there was only the eldest princess in the hall, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she said to the eldest princess: "Mother, I just heard from the housekeeper that Li Mei Xie has come to our house, where is she!"

The eldest princess came back to her senses, met Yang Xianling's eyes full of expectation, the eldest princess opened her mouth, and finally decided to hide the good news: "She just left, don't you like her? I'm in a hurry to find her, what's the matter?"

As soon as Yang Xianling heard that Li Meiying had left, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she no longer tried to hide it, she asked bluntly, "Mother, what exactly did Li Meiying come to the house to tell you?" What, has my queen position been confirmed?"

Looking at her incompetent daughter, the eldest princess sighed secretly, and replied with a flat expression on her face: "Today she entered the palace and mentioned to the emperor about your appointment as queen, but the emperor is in the period of filial piety, so he is not in the mood to think about it." You lost your temper a lot about the matter of the empress seal, so if you failed to accomplish the matter of the empress seal, I guess you will have to wait until the emperor's filial piety is over in a few years before you bring it up again!"

When Yang Xianling learned that the Queen's matter was still not settled, she couldn't help cursing in disappointment: "That bitch Li Sister-in-law is playing tricks on us, she promised so nicely yesterday, I think she is thinking about the future of the queen." position, so I didn’t put my heart into this matter.”

The eldest princess frowned when she heard this. It wasn't because Yang Xianling scolded Li Sister-in-law that she was unhappy. What she was unhappy about was that Yang Xianling was so restless. The princess' face darkened immediately, and she scolded sharply: "Xianling, the emperor's brother is newly mourned, he is your uncle after all, even if you don't have much affection for him, you should remember that even if he dies, he is still the emperor of Daxin, with a noble status , now everyone keeps filial piety for him, as a mother, I don't ask you for anything else, I just ask you to be sensible, the emperor is filial, it is human nature to feel sad because of the death of the emperor's brother, and you are not allowed to mention the matter of the queen, otherwise your Not only will your head be lost, but hundreds of members of your family will be buried with you."

After Princess Chang's sharp reprimand, Yang Xianling was vaguely aware that what she had done was disrespecting the late emperor and ignoring the great crime of the royal family. Fortunately, she only said a few words in front of her mother. , I'm afraid it will cause big trouble, thinking of this, Yang Xianling feels a chill down her back.

Because of the heavy snowfall, the carriage did not dare to run fast, Yunyu made a cup of hot tea for Li Meizheng, hesitated again and again before she said: "Princess, in fact, if you didn't keep the promise back then, the Eldest Princess can't do anything to you, you Why bother to do such a thankless thing."

Li Meiying heard this, and said with a mysterious smile: "I never do useless things, and put Yang Xianling in the back seat. Of course, I have my own considerations, and you will understand in the future."

When Yunyu heard this, a look of puzzlement flashed in her eyes, she really couldn't figure out what Li Sister-in-law wanted to do, the master's thoughts were too deep.

Thinking of An Guogong's death due to the death of Emperor Cheng, Li Sister-in-law decided to give Wu a big gift a few years ago. Thinking of this, she said to Yunyu: "How is Wu Shaoyou's situation?"

Yunyu didn't expect Li Sister-in-law to suddenly ask about this, she was taken aback before replying: "Everything is going according to the princess's plan, and there is nothing unusual."

When Li Meizhen heard this, she smiled with satisfaction: "It's been a long time since they have been stocked, so it's time to close the nets. I sent a message to the other side, saying that the New Year is coming, and salted fish is a must during the Spring Festival. Let them prepare well."

Hearing this, Yunyu hurriedly responded with a smile, comparing General Wu Shaoyou to a salted fish, he is really unlucky.

After the snow stopped and the sky cleared, the imperial concubine sent someone to bring Li Meiying into the palace to accompany her, and Li Meiying happily went.The main hall of Xici Ning Palace was as lively as last time, and several concubines were there, but this time the maids behind Concubine Liang were holding many scrolls, and she handed one to Concubine Gui. The sister-in-law came into the hall and said with a smile: "Princess Yao Huang is here, and we are admiring the pictures of beauties, so let's join in the fun!"

Hearing this, Li Meizhen glanced at the painting scroll in the hand of the palace lady calmly, then stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the noble concubine and all the concubines."

A look of unnaturalness flashed across Gui Taifei's face, she put down the painting in her hand, and waved to Li Sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, sit next to Ai's family."

Li Meiying sat down next to the imperial concubine according to her words, Taohua glanced nonchalantly at the draft roster on the table beside her, and then took a sip of the hot tea brewed by the maid as if nothing had happened.

"Princess Yao Huang, the emperor came to visit my sister yesterday, and told her about the draft, and asked her to help her to watch over her. If there is a suitable noble daughter, please leave a birth date on the roster. After the three-month filial piety period is over, go ahead. Draft." Concubine Lan is strange to look at people, seeing that Concubine Gui looked a little unnatural when she faced Li Sister-in-law, she hurriedly smiled and opened her mouth to explain Li Sister-in-law's confusion.
