The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 8

"Brother Huang, this is surprising! My sister-in-law has never been to the palace for any festival in recent years, but this year she attended the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. Brother Huang must be surprised and puzzled!" Waiting for Wei Jinyang Opening her mouth, Li Meizheng said with a half-smile, the coldness in her tone was undisguised.

Yang Xianling knew that the queen abused Li Meiying back then, so after listening to Li Meiying's words, she only thought that Li Meiying was worried because the prince was the queen's son, and then thought that Li Meiying lived in the queen's palace and met the prince. But it's not impossible. Sensing an unidentified undercurrent between the two, Yang Xianling mistakenly thought that the two must be hostile to each other, so she put her heart down and took Li Sister's arm and said, "You always stay in a daze. I am closed at the Princess Mansion, so I will come to the palace banquet today, let me meet a few noble daughters! They are all good friends with me, and I believe they will like you too." After Yang Xianling finished speaking, she pulled Li Sister-in-law went to the place where the girls gathered.

Wei Jinyang looked at Li Meiying's back, and said to the eldest princess with a complicated expression: "Aunt Huang, is she Princess Yingsu, who was bestowed by my father?"

The eldest princess had a panoramic view of Wei Jinyang's expression, and mistakenly thought that it was because of the empress being left out in the cold. She had some complaints about Li Sister-in-law, so she smiled and said, "She is Princess Yao Huang from the original ancient country, and was later taken in by the emperor. As a righteous daughter, she has to be named Princess Yingsu. Speaking of which, this child is also pitiful. He lost his father and mother when he was young, and then... let’s not talk about it.” The eldest princess closed the topic with a sigh, and returned to the previous position, sat down Next chatted with the wife who was close to me.

Seeing Li Sister-in-law chatting with Yang Xianling from time to time, Wei Jinyang didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at this moment. The girl he had been thinking about turned out to be his righteous sister in a blink of an eye. How ironic it was things.

Yang Xianling took Li Sister-in-law to the front of her dear daughter, and before she could speak, the servant's voice rang out again: "The emperor and empress are here."

Emperor Cheng, who was dressed in the emperor's clothes of the Ming Dynasty, entered the hall together with the queen, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes. Everyone in the hall knelt down and saluted: "See the emperor and the empress, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old, queen. "

Emperor Cheng looked at the crowd saluting, his handsome eyes searched the crowd, and soon found Li Sister-in-law in the crowd, a flash of reassurance flashed in his eyes, and he said in a loud voice: "Masters are free from courtesy."

Li Sister-in-law stood up along with everyone, and her lowered eyes were filled with burning hatred: "Emperor Cheng, Empress, my Li Sister-in-law's revenge has officially begun, what you owe to my Li family, what you owe to my ancient country, I will ask for everything I owe to my father and queen mother."

The banquet officially started. Li Meizhen was sitting with the eldest princess, but at this moment, he heard Emperor Cheng say: "Come here, take this eight-treasure mooncake on my table to Princess Yingsu. This is from her." This is the first time for Daxin to attend a palace banquet in so many years, so he wants to taste the most delicious mooncakes in the world."

As soon as Emperor Cheng said this, the empress beside him suddenly changed his face. Bazhen moon cakes are made of special materials used by emperors of all dynasties. As far as Zhen Guogong is concerned, now that Emperor Cheng gave such precious things to Li Sister-in-law, he was actually hinting to everyone that his adopted daughter should not be underestimated.

A servant was busy bringing the eight precious mooncakes from Emperor Cheng's table to Li Meiying's table, and Li Meiying hurriedly got up and walked to Emperor Cheng to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Emperor Cheng stretched out his hand to help Li Sister-in-law, looked at her with a loving smile and said, "Silly boy, it's human nature for a father to leave the best for his children. If you say thank you, you will be born with me."

Li Meiying raised her head and looked at Emperor Cheng flattered. It took a while for her to come back to her senses. At this time, the servant just made new tea and served it. With tea."

Emperor Cheng took it, took a big sip happily, put down the teacup, and was about to let Li Meiying go back to the table, but saw Li Meiying walked to the side of the queen with her head slightly down, took the hot tea from the hand of the maid and handed it respectfully He said to the queen, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

The queen came back to her senses from Li Sister-in-law's appearance that resembled Queen Xueying, and looked at the maliciously ingratiating face, and clenched the hands under her wide sleeves until she felt the displeased gaze from her side. After calming down, she said with a kind smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years. My son has grown up so much, and she is even more beautiful." After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to take the tea from Li Sister's hand, but suddenly the back of her hand hurt, She wanted to throw her hand away, but met Li Sister's peachy eyes with a sneer, those eyes were clearly full of calculations, she reacted immediately, no matter how the tingling pain on the back of her hand got worse, she tightly held the teacup Don't let go.

Seeing that the queen did not shake her hand as planned, Li Meizhen could only withdraw her hand in a little disappointment. After she retracted her hand, the queen shook her hand and dropped the teacup to the ground. When Emperor Cheng looked to the side, Li Meizheng's eyes welled up with strong fear and trepidation at the right time.

Emperor Cheng's eyes crashed into such a pair of eyes, and he unconsciously remembered the incident five years ago.

Five years ago, one day the eldest princess came to the palace to visit the queen mother. At that time, Emperor Cheng was also in the queen mother's palace. The Emperor wanted to ease the relationship between the Empress and the Eldest Princess, so he accompanied the Eldest Princess to the Queen's Palace. The maids guarding outside the palace saw Emperor Cheng and the Eldest Princess, and were terrified and panicked. The mouth of the maids, and then rushed into the main hall, only to see the queen holding a barbed cane, slapping Li Sister, who was only ten years old, fiercely. Emperor Cheng was furious when he saw this scene He, who has always respected the queen, raised his hand and slapped the queen hard for the first time, while Li Meizhen, whose face was covered in blood, choked silently, she did not allow anyone to approach, and went desperately. Shrinking in the corner, those peach blossom eyes that resemble Queen Xueying are full of fear, trepidation, and uneasiness.

Until later, Mo Shu, who was also seriously injured, ignored Li Sister-in-law's biting and beating, and forced her to drink soothing soup to make her fall asleep, so that the imperial doctor could treat her, otherwise she would definitely die because of the wounds all over her body. The torment caused by the pain that penetrates the bone will cause death without blood loss.

At that time, Emperor Cheng was furious. First he drew his sword and wanted to kill the empress. Later, when the empress dowager rushed over to persuade him, he said that he would abolish the empress. Let it go, but the queen lost the right to manage the six palaces, and in order to punish the queen, Emperor Cheng also forbade the queen from contacting the prince and put her under house arrest. If it hadn't been for the concubine poisoning the prince, the queen might never have to To Emperor Cheng's lenient treatment.
