The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 271
"Maybe we can't do anything at the moment. After Concubine Liang's incident, Prince Ming will definitely be more restrained. It is not an easy task to catch him. We can only wait and wait for the opportunity." After a long silence , Bo Ting said softly.

Li Meiying heard the words, but she lowered her eyes and said nothing. Although Concubine Liang's behavior was unwise, it reminded Prince Ming in a disguised form, and made Prince Ming vigilant again. It is not that she wants to bring him down now. Easy!
"Then just wait, now it's a matter of patience, we have plenty of capital to hold our breath." Li Sister looked out the window and said thoughtfully.

The next day, Prince Ming said he was ill and did not go to court early. In the next few days, Bo Ting dismissed all the staff in the mansion, then asked Bo Ting for leave, and left Beijing alone for a tour.

When Li Meizhen got the news, she smiled and whispered a few words to Yunyu. After hearing this, Yunyu happily left Siyu Pavilion and arranged to go.

In the blink of an eye, a month later, Prince Ming, who had been traveling for nearly a month, returned to Xindu. When he left Xindu, he was alone, but when he came back, he was accompanied by a beautiful woman. When he returned to Xindu, he was not in a hurry to return to the palace. Bring the beauty into the palace.

In the imperial study room, Li Meizhen was playing chess with Bo Ting, An Fu came in and said softly: "Your Majesty, Prince Ming and Xinna's side concubine Li are asking for an audience."

Li Meizhen picked up a son and put it down, and then jokingly said to Bo Ting: "It seems that this month's travel has relieved Prince Ming's knot, and now he has recruited a new beauty, you can rest assured."

Bo Ting smiled meaningfully, and then said to An Fu: "Prince Xuanming and Concubine Li come in!"

An Fu took the order to retreat, and after a while, he saw Prince Ming bring a beauty into the imperial study.Li Sister-in-law raised her eyes and fixed her eyes on Concubine Li's face. After a while, she smiled and said, "It turns out that Concubine Li of Prince Ming is an old friend! Princess Guanzhen, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still remember me!"

Princess Guanzhen smiled softly, bent down and saluted, "Please greet the emperor, and please greet Princess Yao Huang."

Bo Ting glanced at Princess Guanzhen, and said to her: "Excuse me!" Then he looked at Prince Ming: "I have gained a beautiful side concubine during my one-month travel, and I have gained a lot. Congratulations on being accompanied by a beautiful woman."

Prince Ming stared affectionately at Princess Guanzhen for a long time before apologetically saying to Bo Ting: "Brother Huang, I accepted Zhen'er as a side concubine without asking for an order from you, and I also asked Brother Huang to come down as a concubine." .”

"Imperial Brother, you don't have to blame yourself. Concubine Li is the daughter of the lord of the ancient country, and her status is honorable. As a brother, I think it is a grievance to accept her as a concubine." Looking thoughtfully at Princess Guanzhen, Bo Ting finally looked at Prince Ming and smiled.

Princess Guanzhen who was at the side heard the words, and panicked, bowed down and pleaded guilty: "The emperor is serious, the minister's wife is just a daughter of a concubine, and she is satisfied with the position of one concubine, and dare not covet the position of the main concubine."

Seeing the panic-stricken Princess Guanzhen, Li Meizhen got up calmly and helped her up: "Sister Guanzhen, don't be afraid, the emperor really feels that you have been wronged by the position of side concubine, since you are so afraid Well, if the emperor doesn't force you, it will be a great achievement when you give birth to Prince Ming's eldest son, and then you will be promoted to the rightful concubine, right?"

After hearing Li Meiying's words, Princess Guanzhen's eyes flashed with astonishment, but she quickly returned to normal, showing a reassuring look and said: "Sister Xiong said so."

At this time, Prince Ming looked at Bo Ting with a troubled expression and said, "Brother Emperor, can you let my younger brother see my concubine mother? My younger brother has adopted a new side concubine, and I want to take it to my concubine mother."

Prince Ming's request was reasonable, and Bo Ting had no reason not to agree, so he asked An Futong to pass on the word of mouth.

After Prince Ming and Princess Guanzhen left, Bo Ting looked at Li Sister-in-law and said, "This side concubine Li, you know her well!"

Li Meiying picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, then said indifferently: "The birth mother of Princess Guanzhen was originally Li Yi's side concubine. In the palace, she was just a concubine, and within two months she climbed to the position of wife, and later became pregnant with Li Yi's flesh and blood. Li Yi promoted her to be a side concubine when she was happy. After giving birth to Princess Guanzhen, although It's a daughter, but Li Yi likes it very much, it's a pity that the concubine above the side concubine is the concubine, otherwise Li Yi will be promoted to her position again, she is also very smart, without a son, she wholeheartedly pleases the concubine, the former concubine Concubine Zheng, the current queen wants to use her to deal with Li Yi's other concubines, so the two are naturally on the same side. Later, Li Yi took the throne from my father, concubine Zheng became queen, and she was promoted from side concubine to concubine Le. Second only to the Queen. Under the training of Concubine Le, Princess Guanzhen is probably very powerful. Concubine Wei is no match for her. Besides, since Li Changning's scandalous incident, now Li Yi will All hopes are pinned on Princess Guanzhen, and I must have great expectations of her."

"In the ancient country, without Li Changning, the princess of Guanzhen County is actually a princess. For a daughter who is both beautiful and intelligent, Li Yi is afraid that he is not shallow. The conditions promised by Prince Ming are very generous, otherwise Li Yi would not I will promise the daughter I have high hopes to be his side concubine, and the opportunity has finally come." Hearing what Li Sister-in-law said, Bo Ting smiled brightly, thinking that the opportunity to bring down Prince Ming would have to wait for a long time, but Unexpectedly, in just one month, the opportunity came to me by itself.

"Yes, the opportunity has finally come." Li Sister also smiled meaningfully, and finally could return to the ancient country.

After Prince Ming took Princess Guanzhen to visit Concubine Liang, they went out of the palace and returned to Prince Ming's Mansion together. When Princess Guanzhen left, she also got a box of fine jewelry.

Wei Mingzhu learned the news of Prince Ming's return to Beijing early in the morning, got up early in the morning and dressed herself meticulously, waiting excitedly for Prince Ming to return to the mansion.Prince Ming has been away for more than a month, and she stays alone in the empty boudoir every night, feeling extremely lonely in her heart, and finally this hard time is over.

Finally hearing the servant's announcement, she hurriedly went to the gate to greet her. When she saw the carriage of Prince Qinming's Mansion appearing in front of her eyes, her heart jumped with excitement, and her cheeks were even more shy. After seeing the beauty getting off the carriage with a face full of shyness, she froze on her face. Seeing Prince Ming gently and considerately hugging the beauty off the carriage, Wei Mingzhu angrily twisted the handkerchief in her hand, but in the end there was some scheming No matter how angry she was, she didn't show any emotions on her face. After she calmed down, she stepped forward and saluted: "My lord, please be well."

When Prince Ming heard the delicate voice behind him, disgust flashed unconsciously in his eyes, and then he turned around with a smile on his face and said, "Mingzhu, I am not at the mansion this month, and you are tired of taking care of the mansion, but from today onwards, Someone will help you share the burden on your shoulders. This is Princess Guanzhen of the ancient country, the daughter of the lord of the ancient country, and now she is the concubine of the king."
