The little lady in the palace

Chapter 210 Extra Story: 15 Years Later

The death of the first emperor is a bit sad, but it is not sudden.Everyone couldn't help but lament that such a wise gentleman didn't live a long life, but on the other hand, he wasn't too "short-lived".

It took three full years for this sadness to dissipate.But when the filial piety period passed, the new emperor, who had been on the throne for three years, seemed to have some new troubles—he appeared a little restless in his first morning court after the filial piety period.On his young face, his brows were always furrowed, and he often had to be stunned for a while before he could react to a courtier's words.

In this way, the morning court did not last too long that day, and the officials would wisely not talk about matters that could be reported directly in memorials.

After the court was over, the emperor headed west all the way, heading straight to the Palace of Compassion and Ning without stopping.

In the Compassionate Ning Palace, a group of palace people seem to be busy packing their luggage, coming in and out, busy.The emperor was in time, and the palace people had no time to dodge, so a few court ladies bumped into him at the door, and there was a clatter of kneeling, and repeated accusations of guilt.

"No, no." The emperor didn't bother to pay attention to it, and walked straight into the palace gate without stopping.

A series of greetings attracted the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager to look at the door at the same time. Seeing the son's really ugly face, the Empress Dowager smiled: "Are you going down?"

"...Mmm." The emperor replied, his expression not softening, he stepped forward to look at the two of them, "Are you really going?"

The Supreme Emperor was standing beside Luo Han's bed, folding a piece of clothing with his own hands with great interest, and stopped when he came in. After hearing his question, he turned back and continued to fold: "We should have left a long time ago, or the group I am afraid that your mother will seize power."

Meng Hongcheng: "..."

He naturally understood that his father was talking about it, and he couldn't help being a little annoyed: "The ministers were afraid that I was still young when I succeeded to the throne, and you were gone. Now that I am not young, you are still here. Do you think this is justified?" ?!"

The Supreme Emperor smiled leisurely and said nothing, Meng Hongcheng said again: "No... even if you two want to go out and enjoy yourself, can't I buy a house outside the palace? Must go to Hangzhou?"

The Supreme Emperor turned his smiling eyes to his wife, and Xie Xiyao stepped forward and patted his son on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "No way, son, you don't know that Hangzhou has beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery, and even the best house in the capital can't afford it." Can't compare to it!"

"..." The emperor was almost fainted by his mother-in-law.

They have been mad at him for three months since they decided to go to Hangzhou after the filial piety period.He often emphasizes how good Hangzhou is in his speech, and at the same time, he expresses a kind of compassion in his eyes, "It's a pity that you have to think about the common people, son, and you can't go with me."

Meng Hongcheng had been pissed off several times, and stopped them on the grounds that "Even if the ministers ask for the death of the mother, the ministers will definitely stop the matter", but after he said this, the father started coughing, Said: "That's not okay, Hongcheng, you see that the father has been ill for so many years and has not recovered, maybe it is related to the climate of the capital. Look at this capital... the sky is dry and the things are dry, and the wind and sand are also strong. If the father goes early Hangzhou, maybe it’s all right now.”

Meng Hongcheng: Pooh...! ! !
He had heard about his father's poor health since he was a child.

In the beginning, the father had not yet become the Supreme Emperor, and he had the title of a prince, so he could only be called the father.He is the grandson of the emperor, wondering why his father is not the crown prince?

He once sat on the lap of the emperor's grandfather and asked, "Grandfather, why didn't you make your father the prince?"

The emperor's grandfather said to him very seriously: "Your father, he is not in good health. He will pass away someday and cannot succeed to the throne."

He was shocked at that time, shocked that his father could not succeed to the throne because of this reason, and even more shocked that his father might leave him at any time.

He still didn't believe it, so he ran to ask his mother and concubine, but the concubine mother said to him: "What your grandpa said is true, so you have to listen to your father, and you can't make your father angry, you understand?"

Meng Hongcheng nodded ignorantly. Since then, he has been very obedient most of the time.

——But as time went by, he wanted to ask more and more: Where is the father's health? ? ?Where is "I don't know when I will die"! ! !

Especially in the past year or so, the grief caused by the death of the emperor's grandfather has subsided. Although most of the fun things are still not done, there are still many things that can be used for entertainment.Meng Hongcheng counted: the one who goes hunting with his uncles in Huihui is the father; the one who goes horse racing with the cousins ​​of the same generation is the father;

Now, he plans to go to Hangzhou to play with his mother!
Meng Hongcheng knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he held his breath for a while, and then said: "Then do you think it will be good or bad to invite the regent here for me?"

"The regent is from your grandfather's generation." Meng Shijin turned to look at him, frowning, "You are already eighteen, and you still need your grandfather to help you? When I was eighteen, my grandfather passed away."

Meng Hongcheng: "..."

Father, are you being unreasonable? ? ?

Your grandfather passed away when you were eighteen, but you did not become emperor! ! !
Half a month later, Meng Junhuai, who was cooking bamboo fungus in Yunnan, received a letter from his son.

He opened the letter while staring at the boiling fresh soup in the pot.After reading two lines, Yu Yin asked next to him, "Which one wrote it? What did it say?"

"A Zuo." Meng Junhuai said, read two more lines, and said, "Hongcheng went to him and said he wanted me to go back and help."

Yu Yin: "...then you go?"

"What are you going to do? Ah Jing, who is a real father, doesn't care." Meng Junhuai said, first picked up a bamboo fungus and put it in her bowl, and then picked it up for himself, "This child Hongcheng is not bad at all. It can be done, but it’s not good to always have someone around to help him.”

Yu Yin was also relieved, and after he had finished reading the letter, she read it herself, and then the two wrote a reply letter each, and asked someone to send back the letters written to the other children.

The messenger who was waiting outside came in to receive the letter and was about to leave. Yuyin called him again: "Take a message when delivering the letter and ask them if they want to come and play. The Lord Sanweng loves matsutake, and now is the time."

The messenger wrote it down carefully and then resigned. After scanning the recipients on the envelopes in his hand, he exclaimed in his heart that this job is really beautiful...!
——Because my own prince became the regent, and the regent cannot be hereditary, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the original son inherited the original Yiqin throne, and the eldest son and fourth son were named princes separately. The second son, who was making a fuss in Beijing, was also named the king of the county.He is now going to send letters to the four princes and three lords in one go. After this trip, the rewards he gets will probably be enough for his family to spend ten or eight years!
In the room, after Meng Junhuai ate another bamboo fungus, he took a deep breath: "Hiss..."

Yu Yin looked up: "Is it hot?"

"No." Meng Junhuai shook his head, "I suddenly remembered, didn't Lan Jing and the others say they were going to Hangzhou to play?"

Yu Yin: "..."

The two jumped up at the same time and walked towards the table together.

——I have to write a letter to tell Tan Yu to escape!Otherwise, if Meng Shijin went, the couple would be allowed to play together?I have to drag Tan Yu to play chess every day!

Time is too miserable, Qu Zhi counts, it has been sixteen or seventeen years, right?He has already ascended to the honorable position of "Supreme Emperor", but he still cannot beat Tan Yu in chess.

But who made him insist on getting into this dead end!Meng Junhuai is very self-aware and never goes out with Tan Yu...!
In the middle of Beijing, the emperor went to Kunning Palace indifferently after listening to his uncle conveying the meaning of the regent.

If you are rejected, you know you have to be rejected...!
When he was ten years old, the regent would always smile and praise him for his intelligence, which would lead to the sentence "The emperor's grandson is very intelligent, and he can be a wise king without the help of his ministers."

——At that time, he was so naive, he really thought it was a good word, and every time he was praised, he would study hard and study hard!Now that I think about it, I realize that the regent is laying the groundwork for his escape!
The emperor rested his head on the arhat bed in Kunning Palace for a long while in resentment. After returning from the empress who had chatted with several wives in Jiaotai Palace, he asked the palace people what the regent meant, and asked: "What does the emperor say?" ?”

She lowered her voice, but the emperor still heard it, cast a glance at her, and asked, "Can I swear?"

Queen: "..."

As she walked over, she hesitated and said, "It's not suitable..."

The emperor sighed sullenly: "Then I have nothing to say."

Queen: "..."

The emperor sighed again, sat up on his back, touched the empress's slightly raised belly, and changed the topic to a more pleasant one: "Who did you see? What's the matter?"

The queen counted with her fingers: "Princess Qin, Luo Shi of Mujun Wang's family, Princess Yi, and Princess Min."

——To put it bluntly, they are the four daughters-in-law of the Prince Regent...!
The emperor was feeling unhappy and wanted to ask them what they were doing here?The queen continued: "It's nothing. I just came to see me. They are all aunts from the same family. I will meet you together. Oh, they also said that the father and the regent are not here, so don't get tired , If you have something to say, a few uncles will help."

Oh, how many uncles will help?
Meng Hongcheng snorted coldly: "Why don't I believe it?"

"Hey, don't be angry, really." The queen looked sincere, "The aunts said, and later let a few cousins ​​come in to accompany me to have a baby, and said that the regent princess personally ordered, saying that if I live in the palace. You can live in the other garden of their mansion, she asked someone to clean it up."

The other garden of the Prince Regent's Mansion is a good place.Meng Hongcheng thought about it, and then realized...wrong! ! !
Why is the regent not coming back, and the princess is planning to kidnap his wife? ? ?
Who is his sixth grandfather's family! ! !

The emperor got off the couch with a livid face, stepped on his shoes and walked out.

The queen was startled: "Where are you going?"

"Go and read the memorial." Meng Hongcheng didn't turn his head back. "The flood in the south happened. Aunt Lan Jing's family just went to the south of the Yangtze River. It's close. Let my uncle go there so that the local officials don't get rich."

A few days later, Meng Shijin and Xie Xiyao were dumbfounded.

When they came to Hangzhou, they arrived one step ahead of Sixth Uncle's letter.So they detained Lan Jing and Tan Yu with peace of mind, Meng Shiying played chess with Tan Yu for many days, Xi Yao and Lan Jing went out every day to eat local snacks.

In the end, Uncle Six failed to get him away, but the imperial decree got him away...?
Control floods?Why are you looking for Tan Yu?Even if you want someone close to watch over you, the closest ready-made person is You Zexu, Commander of Jin Yiwei!
Although Tan Yu's chess skills have improved and he has become more and more aware of people's hearts, and has his own skills, but...

After being dazed for a while, Meng Shiying came to understand, and laughed angrily: "This Hongcheng, this is a competition with Sixth Uncle!"

"Competing with my uncle?" Xi Yao thought for a while, with a dull face, "Are you sure he isn't competing with us?"

The one he took away was obviously your pawn, right?
"I think he dares?!" Meng Shijin gritted his teeth, sat down with sullen face and sullen head, and pondered for a moment, "He might really dare."

Xie Xiyao: "..."

Meng Shijin took a deep breath: "Hey, I really want to beat him up."

Xi Yao: "Don't make trouble...!"
