Meng Wan lowered her eyebrows and clenched her hands tightly. She was just being polite. Why was the emperor so rude?
Fu Jingheng got into the carriage and Wen Jin left the palace. He asked her, "Are you impatient?"
Wen Jin said: "No."
Fu Jingheng chuckled, "I have the support of hundreds of officials to succeed you, do you have a sense of crisis? After all, it took more than ten years for you to become a full-time official, and within two days, the civil and military officials in the court were impeaching me to divorce you. What kind of destiny is this?"
Wen Jin ignored him.
Fu Jingheng said, "Is it comfortable to be a big house for me? Is it more comfortable to be a small house for me?"
Wen Jin was furious, "Stop talking..."
"Yeah." Fu said softly, "I like it when you are little... very cute. It saves both you and me."
"..."
Meng Wan came to say hello to Xia Ranshuang, bowed down and served tea, "Queen Mother, what should I do? Now the courtiers are impeaching the Queen Mother, saying that the Queen Mother is the daughter of a traitor and is not worthy of being the queen. The first saint was immoral, and the queen in the palace is a traitor.
As an adopted daughter, I am fortunate to be elected as the queen, but I am young after all. How dare I try to break up the emperor and the empress. Now I am particularly worried that the empress will not be able to bear the rumors and make the emperor angry. In fact, the empress is a very good person, and she is very kind.
He is virtuous and kind to others."
Xia Ranshuang was drinking tea, "Jin'er is a good child. You also listen to what you say. You were not arrogant when you were promoted, and you took the initiative to say that you were not qualified. Your heart is okay. The Ai family recognized the queen. Wen Guang's rebellion and
It doesn't matter to her, she just needs to wait for this storm to pass."
"In fact, this matter is easy to handle. The ministers are just worried that the emperor favors Wen Guangyi's daughter. If the emperor can get the rain and dew equally, extend the heirs, and balance the palaces, the officials will naturally no longer worry about the empress bringing trouble to the harem."
Meng Wan said, and said quietly: "It is useless for others to advise you on this matter. You need to have the queen personally persuade you to have children. In fact, I don't care much about your love. As a concubine, my responsibility is to care about you."
Your Majesty’s dragon body enables you to attend court with peace of mind.”
Xia Ranshuang frowned, "The empress is a virtuous person. She will naturally advise the emperor to share her kindness. Your child is not bad. The concubine is to take care of the emperor's health. How can he be someone who can only talk about love?"
"Yes. Your Majesty has been to my concubine's house several times. Every time I went there, I just sat there. I was never favored." Meng Wan said softly, "Only the queen has given birth to an heir in the harem. At the moment, there is only one child, the eldest prince.
The queen is unable to have children because of the loss of a pair of dragons and phoenixes. The family has a big business and only has one child. In the future, there will be no one to share the burden of the country, and your knees are also deserted. I heard that my mother once said that there is a placenta repairer.
There is a good prescription. I will ask the doctor to test it someday. I will give it to the queen to try to keep her healthy and give you a big fat grandson."
"Yes. The Ai family also likes children. Please think of the Queen. You are interested. I also wish you to have a son soon." The Queen Mother was polite.
Meng Wan said softly: "Moreover, your Majesty goes to the middle palace every day, which will actually bring criticism to the Queen. We all like the Queen, but after all, if word spreads, it will bring bad reputation to the Queen. She is in the lower position.
"To monopolize the emperor's favor, after all, it is against the queen's virtue. I have good intentions and I don't know if what I say is right. If I say something wrong, I will slap myself in the mouth."
"Then you slap yourself twice. It's wrong to talk about the Queen behind her back." The Queen Mother said, "You can't say it next time."
Meng Wan had no idea that the Queen Mother was so partial to her head wife. She regretted asking the question, so she reluctantly raised her hand and slapped her twice on the mouth.
Xia Ranshuang sat up and was quite surprised, "The emperor just came to your place to sit there? This is actually neglecting you, my child. Don't worry, the queen is a sensible person. The Aijia took the time to ask her to persuade the emperor to go and see you. It's embarrassing.
You think about the virtues of your Majesty and the Empress. As the Empress, you have the responsibility to lead the harem to live and work in peace and contentment. As the Emperor, you should not favor one over the other. Ask them to reward you well later, and they cannot stay together and neglect the harem."
Meng Wan said sensibly: "I should respect and love the emperor. I don't need rewards." I just need to replace the queen and help manage the Sixth Palace.
***
Fu Jingheng sent Wen Jin to the Imperial Academy. The two of them did not say much about Meng Wan in the carriage. The conflict between them seemed to have never been caused by the woman he cared about. In fact, Meng Wan was the result of pressure from officials on the emperor.
, he tried his best to ensure that Wenjin could withstand the pressure, and he did not say anything to Wenjin.
"My people are in the dark. Jiang will definitely come to see you today. Then you will act according to the opportunity. I will appear in time and will not put you in danger." Fu Jingheng said and touched her head, "I promised Qin Huaisu to take care of me today."
His 'mother' gave him the grace, and I must save it today. You can reminisce about the past, but you can't run away with him, are you good?"
Wen Jin nodded, "Yeah."
Fu Jingheng said, "Be optimistic. Nothing will happen. They all say you are not worthy, but I say you are worthy. As you prepare for pregnancy, pay attention to your mood."
Wen Jin is not as able to withstand pressure as he is. She was impeached by hundreds of officials and was replaced by Meng Wan. She is under pressure. She actually doesn't know how to be a queen. At the moment, she only knows that she needs to work with her to resolve the crisis.
After all, it would be less troublesome to marry old cousin Xue Qian. Xue Qian has her own heart. She doesn’t have to deal with men after getting married. Being a queen will be more troublesome. Not only her father and brother are rebelling, but she also has to deal with the emperor and the harem. She sighed quietly.
, came to the Imperial College study room and sat down.
Looking out the window, it was quiet and no one was there.
Fu and his people do not know where they are hiding.
Wen Jin and Gao Yan talked about setting up a school in the suburbs of Beijing. Gao Yan gave her a package of homemade biscuits in the shape of a bunny. She didn't expect that the second-in-command deacon, who was thirty years old, had the heart of an ignorant girl.
Aunt Xue came over at noon to bring her a meal and asked whether Qian'er was staying up late at night and was with her. They must be getting married soon. Wen Jin smiled and didn't tell Aunt Xue that her Qian'er was the same as the girl she didn't like.
Lu Pingping, the daughter of a less than outstanding tea merchant, was together. Youxi was also Lu Pingping. Aunt Xue fell when she was going out. I wonder if it was someone who plotted against her.
It's usually at nightfall when the moonlight is good.
Jiang Huaizhou looked at Wen Jin quietly from the small window of the study room. She was sitting there with her chin in her hands, full of bookish air. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.
Wen Jin felt the gaze and turned around to look, and saw her brother's face as gentle as usual. He was wearing a blue gown and his snowy hair was tied with a jade hairpin. He was standing there looking at her and smiling. He hadn't seen her for a long time.
When she was wrestling on a rainy night, he handed her an umbrella.
"Brother Huaizhou, why are you here?" Wen Jin pretended not to know the purpose of his visit.
Jiang Huaizhou walked into the house. His breath was like bamboo and pine. He said urgently: "Take you away. Now."
After saying that, he grabbed Wen Jin's wrist through his sleeves and led her out of the study door.
Wen Jin asked knowingly: "What's wrong, brother Huaizhou, what happened? Where are you taking me? It looks very urgent."
Jiang Qing put Wen Jin into the carriage, left the Imperial Academy, and came to the Yuewangtai Fishing Ground, which was quite empty on the outskirts of the capital. Seeing that Wen Jin was jolted badly, he ordered someone to stop the carriage and told her to slow down. He said in a deep voice:
"The adoptive father received the favor of the saint and a key figure in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and ascended the throne as king in Mount Li. The king sent a message, saying that he wanted peace, and exchanged your life for the saint to protect his reputation and the country. Where could the adoptive father be?
Giving him the saint is just a matter of luring him there and taking his head. You don’t have to participate in the battle between the two of them. I will take you away from this place of right and wrong."
Wen Jin pretended to be shocked, "My foster father has ascended the throne! Your Majesty wants to exchange my life for Duanmu Fu!"
"yes."
"How did the adoptive father obtain the saint and Jun En, the key figure in the Western Zhou Dynasty?" Wen Jin pretended to be confused.
"Someone kidnapped these two people and gave them to their adoptive father." Jiang Qing whispered.
"There is someone, who is it?" Wen Jin looked at her brother's face closely.
Jiang Qing lowered his eyes and said, "I'll take you away first."
"There is someone, who is it?" Wen Jin also asked.
Jiang Qing was stunned, pursed her lips, and called her: "Jin'er, you asked me twice."
"Did bad guys kidnap the two of them?" Wen Jin asked.
Jiang Qing said nothing.
"Did someone I know kidnapped them two?" Wen Jin also asked.
Jiang Qing said nothing.
"Is it you?" Wen Jin's tone gradually stopped pretending to be ignorant, and instead became trembling, "Is it you, brother, who kidnapped the saint and Jun En?"
When Jiang Qing heard the sound, her heart suddenly tightened, "Jin'er... what are you talking about?"
"Brother, was it you who hijacked the saint and the king of Western Zhou Dynasty and gave them to the adoptive father?" Wen Jin asked slowly.
Jiang Qing pursed her lips and said, "Why do you ask that?"
"Is that you?" Wen Jin asked him again, "Answer me."
Jiang Qing tightened his hands and remained silent.
Wen Jin's eyes were a little sour, "Brother, are you treason? Minister of Dali Temple, are you not upholding justice for the people?"
Jiang Huaizhou's heart suddenly twitched, and the loss and disappointment in Wen Jin's eyes made him worried, "You... know everything? Are you waiting for me specially today? Your Majesty sent out false news about suing for peace, but in fact he was trying to lure you in your name.
I’ll go down to Mount Li.”
"Answer me." Wen Jin's voice was choked, "Brother, are you treason? Are you a bad person? Are you no longer Master Qingtian?"
"Duanmu Fu and Jun En were kidnapped by my people." Jiang Qing pondered for a long time and said frankly, "Jin'er, brother has committed treason."
After Wen Jin heard this, he was very sad, "Didn't you say that you don't take sides, you only stand in Dali Temple? Didn't you say that you want to do good things for the people and help them solve cases? Didn't you say that you would do it if I turned around?
Where? I have admired you since I was a child. You have handled so many major cases. I am proud that I have a brother who is the Qing of Dali Temple. Now you are going to be arrested by your Dali Temple and interrogated as a traitor.
Interrogated by your subordinates!”
As he spoke, Wen Jin burst into tears, feeling heartbroken.
Jiang Huaizhou felt uncomfortable when he saw his sister crying. He wiped her tears with his sleeve and asked her for a long time:
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to my grandma's house in Yangzhou with me to celebrate the New Year? I was waiting for you in Yangzhou on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. You said you would go, but before I came back, I saw you holding your puppy in the snow in the palace.
Didn’t you say you married me on the seventh day of March? Why didn’t you come out as soon as you entered the Nanxi Hunting Ground on the seventh day of March? Do you know what it feels like to have gray hair overnight? How did you become his queen? If you want to be the queen
, My brother rebelled and asked you to be the queen. He is not that powerful, he is in a state of distress right now. It is all the lessons my brother taught him!"
