The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 61
Seeing what she said, Wei Xuanjin didn't argue with him, but changed the subject: "I think the fifth prince has already fallen in love with you, how are you going to solve it?"

Li Meizhen didn't expect him to bring this up, she frowned in displeasure, and finally said lightly: "I don't know the fifth prince well, and I don't know what to do at the moment, if I can avoid it Avoid it!"

Wei Xuanjin didn't expect her to say this. Although such words shouldn't come out of her mouth, since she has reservations, she doesn't need to break the casserole and ask the bottom line. He just smiled lightly: "What does the emperor often say? Among the two adult princes, the prince is the most like him no matter how he behaves or how he treats feelings. But in my opinion, the fifth prince is the most like the emperor when it comes to dealing with feelings. So you have to think carefully about this matter. .”

Li Meiying was startled when she heard the words, she hesitated for a moment before asking: "What do you mean by that, is there any other secret in it?"

Wei Xuanjin looked at the blue sky like a memory, and after a long time his clear voice rang out: "This incident happened when I was young. After the prince was born, he was brought up by the emperor, so Empress Wu had no chance to get close to the prince. Later, Empress Wu gave birth to the fifth prince. The emperor thought that Empress Wu would cherish the fifth prince very much to make up for the regret that the eldest son was not around, but it was strange that Empress Wu was very indifferent to the fifth prince, and she didn't even want to give him a hug. Later, the fifth prince gradually grew up and became sensible, and the child yearned for maternal love, so he would naturally do everything possible to attract his mother's love, but Empress Wu remained unmoved, and only devoted herself to the prince, even if the prince did not grow up by her side, But her maternal love for the prince was passed on to the prince through daily food and close-fitting clothes. In the face of such a strong gap, the fifth prince's temperament of plundering everything in his bones was growing. The prince was 12 years old when the incident happened. The prince was ten years old. That year, Xijiang presented a divine horse. It was a divine horse that only produced about a dozen horses in a hundred years. It was called the Flame BMW. The horse could travel thousands of miles a day, and it was quite spiritual. as dazzling.

After the emperor got the BMW, he gave it to the prince without further ado. The fifth prince also liked the BMW very much at the time, but he didn't show his liking at all until one day the prince and the fifth prince practiced riding and archery in the school grounds. For some reason, Lieyan BMW suddenly went mad, threw the prince to the ground, and raised his hoof to hurt the prince. At the critical moment, the fifth prince helped the prince out of the way regardless of his own safety, but he was kicked by the horse because of his slow movement The leg, so that the calf was broken, and the groom who arrived later subdued the flame BMW, but the emperor was furious because of this. He divided the groom who raised the flame BMW into five horses, and ordered to kill the flame BMW. Later, the prince and the fifth prince knelt down and begged The emperor was merciful in the end and spared the life of the flame BMW, but the prince felt guilty because the flame BMW hurt the fifth prince, so he stopped riding the flame BMW and let the BMW be kept in the stable.

Three years later, the crown prince released the flaming BMW into the mountains and left it to fend for itself. The fifth prince did not stop him from doing so. The one he owns is a flaming BMW. At that time, he used 100 troops to fight against the strong, beheading more than half of the enemy's [-] support troops. At the end of the year, he returned to Beijing as a young general. I went out of the city to meet him. At that time, I was traveling with the prince, and I had seen that BMW. It was the one released by the prince. The prince knew it well, but he didn't mention half a word, because the prince cared about the brotherhood, but he wanted a horse. BMW, who can even take advantage of brotherhood, such a scheming and unscrupulous person is really scary. "

Following Wei Xuanjin's narration, Li Sister-in-law's face became more and more serious, and finally turned pale. After staring at Wei Xuanjin quietly for a while, she slowly lowered her eyes and said softly: "I'm worried about you. I understand, don't worry, I will handle it properly."

With her assurance, Wei Xuanjin breathed a sigh of relief: "You send someone to my yard for those medicinal materials, and I will return them to the Fifth Prince tomorrow."

"I'm sorry." Although these three words represent politeness, Li Sister's tone was slightly joking.

Wei Xuanjin sat for a while, then got up and left, Li Sister-in-law was no longer in the mood to read at the moment, got up with the book and went back to the house.

Seeing this, Mo Shu hastily followed in. Seeing Li Sister-in-law leaning on the beauty couch and meditating alone, she lightly said to Bo Liuzi, "You take a few people to send these things to the dead son's courtyard."

Bo Liuzi complied obediently, summoned a few maidservants, picked up the gift box and left the Yujing Pavilion.After Bo Liuzi took the people away, Mo Shu went to Li Meiying's side and made a cup of hot tea and handed it to Li Meiying, "Princess, are you worried about the fifth prince?"

Li Meiying came back to her senses and reached out to take the teacup in Mo Shu's hand, but she said with a frown: "I was wondering, she was the one who gave birth to me, why are you so partial? Are you partial to this?"

Mo Shu thought for a while, and then said affirmatively: "Princess, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. Even if they are biased, mothers generally prefer younger ones, and the partiality mentioned by the servant girl It's just that the mother devotes more energy to take care of her, she's definitely not as indifferent as Empress Wu, who doesn't even want to hug her own child, the fifth prince's life experience may be strange!"

Mo Shu's words touched Li Sister's heart, she pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Send a secret letter to the palace and let Xueyin investigate this matter."

In the 22nd year of Daxin Yongsheng, on the 23rd of January, the birthday of Emperor Cheng, the relatives of the emperor, the ministers of civil and military affairs, entered the palace to celebrate his birthday, and the emperor ordered the imperial concubine to hold a banquet in the Chengfu Hall.

Since Li Sister-in-law lived in the Jiangning Palace, she entered the palace to celebrate her birthday with Jiangning Wang's family.Chengdi's birthday banquet was as important as a state banquet, and all seats were seated according to rank, and Li Meiying's seat was still beside Wei Jinyang.

The birthday gifts of the ministers had already been presented, while the birthday gifts of the princes and princesses were presented on the day of Chengdi’s birthday banquet. Seeing that Li Sister-in-law seemed unprepared, Wei Jinyang couldn’t help worrying for her. He picked up the teacup as if he wanted to drink water Shi Shi used this to cover up and said softly: "Xin'er, it's your first time to attend the birthday banquet of the emperor, and you are in a hurry, did you not prepare the birthday gift in time?"

Li Meizheng was about to answer when she suddenly heard a voice from outside the hall: "The ruler of the ancient country, the son of Dingkang, and Princess Ning have arrived!"

When Li Meizheng heard this transmission, her body froze inexplicably, and her head slowly turned to the door of the palace, only to see a slender middle-aged man in imperial clothes striding into the palace, followed by a A young and handsome young man dressed in a prince's costume, and a girl with beautiful features in a princess costume.
