Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 44

After Qihe went out, I got up from the bed, tidied up my clothes, and took Fang Qian to the main hall after seeing that there was no problem.

At that time Meng Qingcheng was already waiting in the main hall, when he saw me, he immediately saluted me: "I have seen the Queen Mother."

"Stay flat." I nodded when I saw this, and walked to the main seat and sat down. "A seat."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." After Meng Qingcheng finished answering, he walked to the side and sat down on a pear wood chair.

In the ten years since I entered the palace, I have actually not seen Meng Qingcheng many times.Xianxian met several times, either at the palace banquet, or when he was looking for Mingqi, outside the imperial study.

Like today, it was really the first time that he came to Changwu Hall on his own initiative.

I looked at Meng Qingcheng who had already sat down, and while thinking about his purpose of coming to Changwu Hall today, I sized him up.

Although Meng Qingcheng is a very important minister, he is really young, only twenty and seven this year, compared with my father Qiu Lu and Chu Bufan who are also important ministers, he is simply too young.

Meng Qingcheng is wearing a royal blue gown today, the shoulders are a little darker, presumably it was wet by the rain on the way here.

Meng Qingcheng is usually decisive, decisive and merciless in his actions, but his appearance is not sharp. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth are slightly curved, which always gives people the feeling that he is smiling.

"Why is Marquis Meng free to come to the Changwu Hall of Ai's house today?" I asked while looking at him.

"Back to the queen mother, this minister is here to plead guilty." Meng Qingcheng replied after my words, but I was taken aback.

"Apology? How does the Ai family not know where Meng Hou's crime is?" I asked, surprised by Meng Qingcheng's endless words.

"Last year's banquet, the queen mother worked hard, but my minister was unable to come due to illness. For this, the queen mother not only did not blame the minister, but gave food to the residence of the minister. Every time I think about coming, I always feel that I have something in my heart. Shame." Meng Qingcheng said.

"Meng Hou is serious." I heard this but smiled. "Life is alive, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Meng Hou was unable to attend the palace banquet because of his illness. This matter should be forgiven by the Ai family. If the Ai family really blames Meng Hou for this, then it is the Ai family's fault." heartless."

"The empress dowager is merciful." Meng Qingcheng clasped his hands in reply after listening to my words, and said again: "Actually, I am pleading guilty not only for myself, but also for my undisciplined younger sister to the empress dowager."

"Oh?" I raised my eyebrows when I heard the words, but I also didn't know where Meng Qingcheng said Meng Qingqing was guilty.

"On the day of the New Year's Banquet in the palace, any humble official who is awake will definitely not let her do whatever she wants, and won't even come to the palace banquet." Meng Qingcheng said.

I smiled when I heard the words, and finally knew why Meng Qingcheng came today.

At last year's annual banquet, Meng Qingqing was supposed to come with Meng Qingcheng, but after Meng Qingcheng fell ill and was unable to come, Meng Qingqing did not come because she wanted to guard Meng Qingcheng.

Therefore, when Meng Qingcheng came to Changwu Hall today, he probably thought that I would blame Meng Qingqing for not having a New Year's banquet last year.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but smile again.

"This humble minister was supposed to come to the palace to plead guilty after recovering from his illness, but his illness was lingering, and he didn't get better until the next year. Later, because of the busy affairs in the court, he was not free, so he found the time to come here until today. The crime is aggravated." Meng Qingcheng said.

"If Marquis Meng came here today, it's even more unnecessary," I said with a smile and shook my head. "Menghou and Lingmei watch and help each other. Brother and sister love each other deeply. It's too late for the Ai family to envy them. How can they blame them?"

I didn't pay much attention to Meng Qingqing's matter.Besides, looking at Meng Qingcheng who said he was pleading guilty for himself, but actually worried about his sister, he was too envious in his heart.

"Mr. Meng is in good health these days?" I asked.

"Thanks to the Empress Dowager's concern, everything is fine." Meng Qingcheng replied.

"That's good." I nodded when I heard the words, "Meng Hou is an important minister in the court. The emperor is still young, and there are many things in the court that depend on Meng Hou. Therefore, I hope that Meng Hou can take care of his health. .”

"The empress dowager is at ease, it is my duty to worry about your majesty, and I will definitely follow the empress dowager's instruction."
