Chapter 284 Without Qin Yu, there would be no her today
At night, the moon is as cold as ice.
Yongchang City.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
The emperor of Qi wrote, standing in front of the imperial case, dragons and phoenixes dancing, and the pen moved like a dragon and a snake.
The Prince of Qi, Zhao Ruiyuan, was standing in front of the desk, reporting to him about the mutual business affairs that Qin Yu had just discussed with him.
"Interesting, Qin Yu actually asked Mengyao to connect with Zhang's Trading Company."
Emperor Qi said, looked up at Zhao Ruiyuan and asked: "Yuan'er, do you think Qin Yu took the initiative to say this, or did Mengyao mention it to Qin Yu?"
Zhao Ruiyuan frowned and said seriously: "I think it is not difficult to tell from Mengyao's performance today that it was Mengyao who mentioned this matter to Qin Yu."
Emperor Qi asked again: "Then do you think that Mengyao knew that Mei Lin was interested in taking over this matter, so why did she not hesitate to offend Mei Lin and fight for it?"
Zhao Ruiyuan looked embarrassed, "This..."
He was really embarrassed to say it.
Qi Huang put down his pen and said seriously: "Is there anything else you can't say to me?"
"My son, I know I was wrong."
Zhao Ruiyuan saluted and then said: "My son thought that Mengyao was simply trying to protect herself. After today's reception, the fifth sister wanted to drive Mengyao away in the name of her father and receive Qin Yu, but Qin Yu strongly refused."
"Meng Yao is very smart. She knows that no matter whether she takes the initiative or passively, Mei Lin will blame her, leaving the palace to fall, and she has offended the fifth sister. If... if not
Seize this opportunity, how will you protect yourself in front of Fifth Sister in the future?"
"Just now...just now the fifth sister humiliated Mengyao and threatened her with words."
Zhao Ruiyuan said what he said was fair. He didn't add any fuel or jealousy, and he didn't deliberately target anyone. He repeated the matter to Emperor Qi.
Moreover, Zhao Ruiyuan could see that Emperor Qi did not want Zhao Meilin to get involved in this matter anymore, and there was no need for him to defend Zhao Meilin on this matter.
Snap!
Emperor Qi slapped the table angrily, his face instantly turned cold, "I have really spoiled her, and it has gone too far! I have already told her that Mengyao is my niece and a member of our Zhao family. She
It’s so excessive!”
After saying that, he added: "Go and find Mengyao and Meilin. I will solve this matter today. Since Qin Yu intends to let Mengyao connect, and Mengyao also wants to get a job, it is better to let her take charge.
This matter."
"Although Qin Yu is uninhibited and a bit dandy, he is indeed a person who values friendship. He has a good impression of Mengyao these days. Letting Mengyao interact with him will save us a lot of trouble."
"It's my father." Zhao Ruiyuan bowed in response and then left the imperial study.
Not long after.
Zhao Ruiyuan turned back, followed by Zhao Mengyao.
Zhao Mengyao became more and more calm at this time.
She knows whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is no way to avoid disaster, what is supposed to come will always come.
Zhao Mengyao stepped forward and offered blessings, "Mengyao has met Your Majesty."
Emperor Qi nodded with a smile on his face, "There's no need to be too polite. Mei Lin did something wrong in asking you to receive Qin Yu in the past few days, and you have been wronged."
Zhao Mengyao shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, you are serious. Mengyao is a member of the Zhao family. It is Mengyao's duty to share your worries for you. There is no way for you to feel wronged."
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Qi was delighted when he heard this, and said loudly: "Okay! I like to hear what you say! It's enough for you to say this to the Zhao family! You must also remember that you are my niece, and no one will dare to bully you in the future!"
Meilin will be here soon, and I will ask her to apologize to you!"
Zhao Mengyao said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is serious. There is just a misunderstanding between the fifth princess and Mengyao. There is no need to apologize."
Although Zhao Mengyao remained respectful on the surface, Emperor Qi's words did not move her.
The reason why Emperor Qi said this and did this was simply because she was valuable.
Otherwise, Emperor Qi should have appeared when she was bullied by Zhao Meilin for the first time.
Zhao Mengyao has already seen through everything. Respect never comes from others' charity, but from one's own worth.
She was talking.
Creaking.......
The door to the imperial study room opened.
Zhao Meilin came pacing from outside the house, crying, "Father..."
This is her usual trick. Whenever she makes a mistake, as long as she cries, Emperor Qi will definitely forgive her and maybe even reward her.
Besides, Zhao Meilin didn't feel like she was at fault for what happened today.
"You are such a grown-up, why do you still cry when something happens? When will you grow up, and when will you be as stable as Mengyao, worthy of such a heavy responsibility?"
Qi Huang looked at Zhao Meilin with a gloomy face.
Since he called Zhao Mengyao here today, he had to give her an explanation.
Hear this.
Zhao Meilin paused for a moment, looking at Qi Huang in disbelief.
She didn't expect that when Emperor Qi saw her, he would slap her head in the face.
"Father..."
Zhao Meilin looked at Emperor Qi, her words trembling, full of hesitation and grievance.
Qi Huang lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "I know all about the misunderstanding between you and Mengyao. This matter is all your fault. Mengyao will also be responsible for the future connection with Zhang's Trading Company."
"In this way, you apologize to Mengyao, and the matter between you two will be settled. You will still be good sisters from now on."
Zhao Meilin paused, with a look of grievance in her eyes, "Father, Qin Yu humiliated my son today, and it was all because of Zhao Mengyao. You...you didn't make the decision for me, and you actually asked me to do it."
She apologized, but I refused!"
Not to mention Zhao Mengyao, even Zhao Ruiyuan was not surprised at all by what she said.
If you are being reasonable, then you really are not the arrogant and rude fifth princess of Qi.
Zhao Mengyao also completely recognized the reality at this time. If Qin Yu hadn't given her this opportunity, Emperor Qi would have wanted to appease her.
Emperor Qi will never let Zhao Meilin apologize to him in this life.
This is the naked, bloody reality.
"Nonsense!"
Emperor Qi looked at Zhao Meilin and scolded: "Do you think I am an old fool!? Do you think I am an old fool!? I don't care how you mess around on weekdays, but this time it is a major matter for the family and the country, involving our Qi country.
Development, how can we allow you to mess around!? Apologize!!!"
Emperor Qi spoke sharply and did not give Zhao Meilin any chance to argue.
Zhao Meilin cried so hard, but Emperor Qi was so angry that she did not dare to refute. Then she looked at Zhao Mengyao and sobbed: "Sister...sister, this matter is...it's Meilin."
No, I apologize to you..."
The words fell.
Zhao Mengyao didn’t wait for her reaction.
Zhao Meilin covered her face and ran outside the imperial study room.
"Fifth Princess..."
"Fifth sister..."
Zhao Mengyao and Zhao Ruiyuan shouted at the same time.
Emperor Qi snorted coldly: "You two don't need to worry about her. I have spoiled her! Let's discuss business with Zhang's Trading Company. This is an important part of our Qi State's fiscal revenue in the future. It's careless."
No."
"Yes, Father (Your Majesty)." Zhao Mengyao and Zhao Ruiyuan hurriedly responded.
Zhao Mengyao felt no worries at this time.
She knew that Zhao Meilin would never give up.
But from now on, she will never be easy to mess with.
At the same time, Zhao Mengyao remembered Qin Yu's kindness. Without Qin Yu, she would not be where she is today.
