The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 26
"You are so considerate of elder brother, he will remember your kindness, and when you become emperor in the future, he will assist you wholeheartedly." Empress Wu pretended to be surprised, her tone was as friendly as before.

"It's all a family. My son did this because he wanted to help his mother share her worries." A sense of displeasure welled up in his heart, but Wei Jinyang didn't show it on his face, and only answered the words calmly.

Hearing this, Empress Wu's heart flashed with complicated emotions. After all, she was not raised by her side, and she couldn't get close to her anyway: "Seeing that you are in good health, I am relieved. I think you are busy with business, so I won't call you." worried."

"The son respectfully sent off the queen mother." Wei Jinyang did not keep him, but sent him off respectfully.

When Empress Wu heard the words, she hid the gloom in her eyes, and left in a mighty way with the maids and servants.Wei Jinyang looked at the back of the queen leaving, and there was a complex look in his eyes. He didn't know if the relationship between all mothers and children was like this, it was so weird that it could not be described in words.

Although Wei Jinyang grew up with Emperor Cheng since he was a child, Empress Wu is also very concerned about his life, and always sends her mother to send her handmade clothes, shoes and socks, and will send someone to remind him when the weather is cold Pay attention to adding clothes. When the weather is hot, people will send mung bean soup to him every day to relieve the heat. These childhood memories are still fresh in his memory.As for when Empress Wu changed, Wei Jinyang couldn't remember.

"Your Highness, are you alright!" An Fu knew that the queen had already got up and drove back to the palace, and anxiously returned from the stable to the front yard, just in time to see Wei Jinyang staring at the gate of the Prince's Mansion in a daze.

"It's okay!" Wei Jinyang replied two words lightly, then turned and walked towards the study.An Fu was a little confused, so he patted his head, and hurriedly followed.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the sixth day of November, and Xindu ushered in the first snow in winter. Li Meiying was wearing a big cloak, standing on the porch and looking up at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

This cloak is light and warm, the white cocoon silk face is embroidered with red plum blossoms, and the inside is made of white fox fur lining, it is very warm to wear, even though Li Meizhen is afraid of the cold, she does not feel so cold at the moment.

Xindu is located in the north, and winter comes early. Once it snows, the temperature will drop sharply. After several heavy snowfalls, the ice and snow will be woven into thick ice, which will slowly melt in the next spring.

Although Li Sister has lived in Xindu for five years, she is still not used to the cold winter in Xindu. She misses her hometown in the south very much.

"Princess, it's cold, let's go inside!" Mo Shu looked at the thick snow that had accumulated on the ground, worried that Li Meizhen would catch the cold after standing in the snow for a long time, so he reminded softly.

Li Meizhen nodded lightly, handed the warm stove to Mo Shu, and turned around to enter the room.Mo Shu handed the hand stove to the maidservant at the side, and asked the maidservant to bring some charcoal into the house.

The ground dragon in the room was burning, and as soon as she entered the room, the warm breath rushed towards her face, Li Meizhen felt the coldness on her face disappear a lot, and Mo Shu stepped forward to untie her cloak and handed it to the maidservant at the side. Walk.

Sitting down in front of the beauty's couch, Li Sister-in-law took a sip of the hot tea Mo Shu handed over, and the first-class maid Yun Yu next to her came into the room with an invitation card and said, "Princess, Miss Yang sent someone to deliver it to you." Come post."

After Yunyu finished speaking, she presented the post to Mo Shu, and Mo Shu handed the post to Li Sister-in-law.Li Meizheng opened the post and saw that it was actually sent by Li Xueshang, inviting her to participate in the Plum Appreciation Poetry Party, which was held in Yumei Garden in Xindu.

Li Meiying looked at the post and didn't speak for a long time. Yunyu couldn't help feeling a little anxious, so she quietly said to Mo Shu: "Aunt Mo, the person sent by Miss Li to deliver the post is still waiting for the princess to reply. Help me ask the princess what she means!"

Mo Shu knew that the servant girls in the mansion were all afraid of Li Meiying, and they did not dare to overstep the rules in what they said or did. She knew that Li Meiying had her own considerations, so she said to Yunyu, "The princess has her own ideas, just wait quietly."

When Yunyu heard this, she knew that she was in a hurry, so she hurriedly shrank her head, stepped aside and dared not speak any more.

Putting the invitation on the table, Li Meizhen looked up at Yunyu and said, "Go and tell the person who sent the invitation that I'm not feeling well and I won't go to the Plum Appreciation Poetry Club."

"Yes, this servant will go and answer now." Yunyu got the words, saluted hurriedly, and retreated respectfully.

After Yunyu left, Mo Shu looked at the invitation post and said, "Princess, Duke Zhen has a hundred thousand soldiers in his hands, and his power should not be underestimated. This time, Miss Li took the initiative to post an invitation. It is a good time to get close to Li Mansion. You Why did you decline?"

"It is because Zhen Guogong has a powerful army in his hands that we have to keep a distance from him. No matter how much Emperor Cheng cares about his mother's love for me and takes good care of me, he will definitely not be easy for a princess who is under his protection and has a close relationship with powerful officials. It will make him suspicious of me, and if there are people who want to pick me up again, I'm afraid our country will be killed before our country is restored." Looking at the invitation card on the table, Li Meizhen explained indifferently.

Hearing the words, Mo Shu suddenly realized: "It's still the princess who is thoughtful, and the servant has made a slip of the tongue."

Holding Mo Shu's hand, Li Meizhen suppressed the indifference and gentle smile on her face and said, "Aunt Mo, you only think about me, so why would you slip up? The reason why we think about things differently is because of the situation we are in. The positions are different, you put me first, and the first consideration is whether it will help me, while I value success or failure more, so when encountering problems, I will first consider the negative impact of doing so, and then the benefits!"

Hearing this, Mo Shu's frowning eyebrows relaxed. Just as she was about to speak, the maidservant who had gone to add charcoal to the hand stove first came into the room with the hand stove and said, "Princess, the maidservant in the hand stove has added hot charcoal again. I have always been afraid of the cold, so hurry up and hold it!"

After receiving the stove handed over by the maid, Li Sister-in-law could not help but look at the maid a few more times. Her features are elegant, her skin is fair and smooth, and her fingers are slender. She doesn't look like someone who is used to being a maid, but more like a young lady who is pampered by a good family. .

"What's your name? From the looks of it, you're new to the mansion!" Li Sister-in-law said, holding the hand stove, seemingly unintentionally.

The servant girl did not expect that Li Sister would take the initiative to ask her, her face was slightly excited, but her expression was still respectful: "My maidservant's surname is Bogui and her name is Liuzi, and she entered the mansion half a month ago."

Li Meiying heard the words, she smiled calmly and said: "Bo Liuzi, this name is really unique, Bo's surname doesn't seem to be Daxin's surname, you are not from Daxin!"

When Mo Shu at the side heard the surname 'Bo', a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he remained calm, only secretly observing the maid named Bo Liuzi.

"The slave girl was originally from the ancient country, but the current ruler of the ancient country is cruel and ruthless. The slave girl's parents were persecuted to death, and the slave girl's family was destroyed. Since then, she wandered to Xindu. When she happened to see the princess's mansion recruiting a maidservant, the slave girl sold herself into the mansion. , I just want a place to settle down and have a bite to eat." Bo Liuzi looked directly into Li Sister's eyes, and explained his life experience in a slow and concise voice.
