The concubine is so charming

Chapter 689

Hearing the answer from the Minister of Rites, Hu Heshuo's smile froze immediately, and he looked up and down at him with an extremely probing gaze. Did he not understand what he meant, or was this Minister of Rites really careless? move?
He doesn't believe that there are people in this world who don't love money, so it's the Minister of Rites who has a bigger appetite and can't satisfy this mere 5 taels.

"Master Meng, do you think I paid too little money? This time I came to Da'an Dynasty to send my sister to participate in the draft. Due to the rush of the schedule, I really didn't prepare too much money, but I still have two shops in my hand. It's also worth tens of thousands of taels, how about I add them?"

The Minister of Rites quickly shook his head: "Then if it is the authentic work of Liu Huasheng, I will sell it to you, but it is a fake, how can I let the prince buy a fake and take it back? Those who don't know think it is me. I deliberately lied to you!"

"Whatever you love and what I want, there is no way to lie."

The Minister of Rites hesitated a bit: "If that's the case..."

Hu Heshuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he just said, the money in his hand was delivered to the door, so there is no reason not to open the door to welcome in?
"Master Meng, don't worry too much. I really like the painting in your hand so much, so just treat it as an adult and sell me a favor."

"That painting is a fake, it's not worth so much money, not to mention there is a pavement..."

"Master Meng cherishes this painting very much. Naturally, it is worth a thousand dollars. It is just a little silver and a storefront. After all, it is a vulgar thing. How can it be compared with a painting that can be passed down from generation to generation?"

"Since that's the case, then Meng will be disrespectful." The Minister of Rites showed a smile.

Hu Heshuo was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked someone to bring a wooden box over, and then patted the lid lightly: "Master Meng, there are bank notes and the land deed for the shop, sir, do you want to check it?"

Hu Heshuo also felt quite pained to give away so many things, but it was worth it to think that he could use these things in exchange for his freedom to leave Da'an Dynasty.

"So many things are really deserved. I heard that the eldest prince gave the emperor a book, but it seems that the book has not been sent to the emperor?"

"I don't know what went wrong, but the book was returned." Hu Heshuo was full of sadness.

"There must be someone who is obstructing it. It must be that he was jealous when he saw the nobleman being granted the title, so he secretly made things difficult for the eldest prince. I must report such a villain's behavior to the emperor, and I cannot let the emperor be deceived by such a villain. The eldest prince If you can trust me, why not hand over the memorial to me, and Meng will definitely hand it over to the emperor."

It was these words that Hu Heshuo was waiting for, and immediately took the memorial out of his sleeve: "If that's the case, I will trouble Mr. Meng."

"The prince is polite, so Meng will leave first."

"I'll send you to Master Meng."

"Stay."

The Minister of Rites first went back to the mansion and changed into his court clothes, then hurried to the palace.

Meng Rou is staring at the brush in her hand in the imperial study room: The emperor is really planning to stew the knife to cut the meat. Look at it, it's only been a few days, and she can't help but use the knife. She has had a headache when she read books since she was a child. , when I grew up, my father forced me to practice brush calligraphy, my hands were almost broken, and I still couldn't handle the calligraphy.It's not that she doesn't work hard, but that the writing brush just can't get along with her, what can she do?Of course I bowed my head to the brush and admitted defeat...

Zhu Chongfang walked in lightly and reported: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Rites, Meng Da, is here."

Meng Rou threw away the writing brush in her hand with a snap and stood up, her eyes almost shining. Although she has a carefree temper, she really respects her parents. It has been a long time since she entered the palace, and she has long missed her. tight.

Mu Qingchen dismissed her indifferently, and said in an unhurried manner: "Meng Guiren, you are a concubine in the harem, and you have to avoid seeing outsiders. You should go back to Yikun Palace first."

Meng Rou gritted her teeth, the emperor definitely did it on purpose!
But now the situation is stronger than others, so if you want to ask others, you will naturally soften your attitude: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that you want to teach me how to grind ink? I haven't learned it yet."

"It's not that you said that such a small matter as grinding ink, you will be responsible for it yourself, so you don't have to learn it?" Seeing Meng Rou's flattering smile, Mu Qingchen finally felt a little more at ease. Suffering from a heart attack, she finally turned around and became the master again.

"Didn't I just want to be lazy? I was discovered by the emperor unexpectedly," Meng Rou racked her brains to think of some words of praise to put on Mu Qingchen, but after thinking about it, her mind was almost muddled. She couldn't find any words to praise her. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she blinked fiercely. She imagined Mu Qingchen as a grown-up princess, and suddenly she was inspired, "Your Majesty is really kind-hearted. Have you already seen that?" The concubine wanted to be lazy, so that's why he didn't expose it? The emperor's handwriting is also majestic and majestic, as towering as a mountain, and the concubine must learn more from you."

Mu Qingchen wanted to make things difficult again, but when she met those sparkling eyes, her heart trembled suddenly, and her attitude involuntarily slowed down a lot: "It's not impossible to let you stay, but you can't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'll just be by your side as a decoration, and I will never speak."

Mu Qingchen looked at Zhu Chong, and ordered in a calm voice: "Go and invite Master Meng to come in."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites entered the palace gate in a hurry. As soon as he looked up, he saw Meng Rou who was standing beside the emperor and waving to him. His eyelids jumped suddenly, and he almost had a cramp: This girl is dying. She is still like this in front of the emperor. Impetuous and shapeless?

Zhu Chong coughed lightly, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites came back to his senses, and hurriedly saluted Mu Qingchen: "I have seen the emperor."

"Master Meng, you don't need to be too polite, Zhu Chong, give me your seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that her father noticed her, Meng Rou laughed so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, and then she felt very distressed: her father seems to have lost some weight, and he must be worried that she couldn't eat because she was so worried. Alas, it's all the emperor's fault, why is he so narrow-minded? What about son?

From the corner of Mu Qingchen's eyes, she turned to Meng Rou, seeing her laughing and worrying for a while, a faint smile flashed across her heart: This girl has everything on her face, so it's really easy to guess.

"Master Meng is in a hurry, but what's the matter?"

"Reporting to the emperor, Weichen got a booklet from the eldest prince of the Huhe tribe. In addition, he spent 5 taels of silver and two shops in exchange for a fake painting imitating Liu Huasheng from Weichen. This humble minister felt that something was wrong, so he went to the palace to report the matter to the emperor, and this box contains the bank notes and the land deed of the shop."

"5 taels of silver plus two shops, just to exchange for a counterfeit, Huheshuo is really a big deal."

The Minister of Rites continued: "Originally, I thought that as a subject of the Da'an Dynasty, I should naturally be rich and unyielding, but when I thought of the two shops, I felt that things were a bit unusual. I had never heard of people from the Huhe tribe before. If they want to open a shop in the capital, then they bought these two shops secretly. I am worried that the people of the Huhe tribe have other arrangements, so I came here to report to the emperor."

"Master Meng has done an excellent job."
