Chapter 18

This time the young master guessed wrong, the empress dowager did not come for the hot spring.

It has been more than a month since Zhao Zheng ascended the throne, and none of the concubines and empresses have been established yet. The Empress Dowager inevitably became concerned about the empty harem.

She has no blood relationship with the emperor. The empress dowager was not clear at first how much the emperor respected her.It's just that after the late emperor passed away, the emperor respected her as the empress dowager and let her live in the Shoukang Palace. She was a little flustered, after all, she was the first emperor's wife, and the emperor had to call her the emperor's grandmother. With such a noble status, how could she not be the emperor's master?

The empress dowager's mother's family, the Song family of Cheng'en Gong's mansion, did not have any capable people above the court, and after all these years of tossing, they did not fall into the eyes of the late emperor.The Empress Dowager is at such an age, if she goes there, Duke Cheng'en's mansion will soon be no different from ordinary families with titles. The Song family, which has relied on nepotism to get its glory today, is not willing to accept this fact, so it naturally puts Their eyes were set on the phoenix position in the harem. With the backing of the Empress Dowager, they felt that the throne of empress was already in their pockets.

The Empress Dowager did her best to her mother's family, she often took Song Yinqiu and several other ladies to visit the Imperial Garden, and then ordered someone to invite the emperor, in order to match them up.Song Yinqiu was eager to try it, but Zhao Zheng had no intention of doing it, he was very desperate, as long as Miss Song was around, he would not show up, the empress dowager tried so hard in secret, but so far there was no result.

If he mentioned Guangna harem to the emperor in a roundabout way, Zhao Zheng said directly: "The emperor's grandfather just left, I don't have the heart, and the emperor's grandmother doesn't have to worry about it."

The king of a country has to keep his filial piety, and it is enough on the 27th. Zhao Zheng has already passed the filial piety, but it is just an excuse.The Empress Dowager didn't know that she had already made a guarantee in front of the Song family. The Emperor Tai slapped her in the face, and the Empress Dowager insisted on fighting the Emperor unilaterally because of her enthusiasm.

After the late emperor left, the harem was obviously out of her control, and the empress dowager could only intervene with the Shoukang Palace and a group of concubines. If she wanted to know about the emperor's daily life and people close to her, the Funing Palace was surrounded by Wang Yongshun and Xiao Yan. Like an iron bucket, the palace servant who was sent to inquire about the news was caught as an assassin, and it was finally found out that it was her, but he did not return it to her, but went directly to the Department of Shenxing. The empress dowager was so angry that she It depends on the owner to beat a dog, the emperor really doesn't care about her.

The specific situation in Funing Hall cannot be inquired, but the emperor's whereabouts can still be known a little bit.Hearing that the emperor came out of Funing Hall today two quarters of an hour later than usual, the Empress Dowager felt a little unusual.

The emperor has been under the late emperor's knees for many years, and his temperament and habits have long been similar to those of the late emperor. It's because Funing Hall is different today, someone has retained the emperor.

The Empress Dowager has stayed in the palace for many years, so it is natural to guess who is sleeping in this situation.

Both Xia Linchun and Wang Yongshun were the emperor's confidantes, and the Empress Dowager dared not have Wang Yongshun's idea. After all, Wang Yongshun was an old man who served by the late Emperor's side. Xia Linchun was in trouble, and the Empress Dowager took a break to invite him to Shoukang Palace for tea. In the name of caring about the emperor's body, the empress dowager took away Cheng Enlu for inspection.

Xia Lin Chunming couldn't challenge the Empress Dowager on the face of it, and as soon as the Empress Dowager let him go, Xiao Xiazi passed the news to Wang Yongshun, so that Wang Yongshun knew what to do.

Last night was Xiaoyaohou's son's bedtime, Xiao Xiazi still wrote it down in the name of Meng Guiren under the emperor's signal, the empress dowager opened the Cheng Enlu, although there were only two in total, it was enough for her eyes to fall out .

I don't know when there was an extra Meng Guiren in the palace, and he served him twice in the past few months. Originally, the empress dowager would not take this pitiful number of times to heart, but the emperor is not keen on female sex. It is especially rare to attend bedtime twice without calling other people—it can even be said to be the only favorite.

The Empress Dowager asked all the servants around her, but no one knew this Meng Guiren, and they didn't even know which palace he was from.Liugong asked people one by one to ask, and they all agreed that the emperor hadn't added anyone recently.

The Empress Dowager is in a hurry, what is the origin of Meng Guiren?Where do you live?

Concubine Gui, who has a good relationship with the Empress Dowager, rubbed the handkerchief and said, "I heard that the Emperor ordered Xia Linchun to move a lot of things to the House of Internal Affairs, and it seems that he is going to clean up the side hall..."

Concubine Gui is the mother of Prince Jian, and she is much more informed than the Empress Dowager.The empress dowager got the hint and couldn't help but think, wouldn't the emperor just place the person in the side hall of Funing Hall?

After all, there is no other place, only the emperor's own bedroom is left.

Song Yinqiu has often come to Shoukang Palace recently, and I heard that the emperor who always ignores her has a new favorite concubine, and she is also placed in the Funing Palace, where ordinary concubines have never lived. Miss Song is quite in danger of being deprived of her throne feeling.Now she can talk very well in front of the Empress Dowager, and said in a strange way: "Since you are a noble young master, shouldn't you come to Shoukang Palace every day to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager? Why have you never seen this person before? This is not right." Respectful sin!"

Song Yinqiu reminded the Empress Dowager that the Empress Dowager had never seen any newly promoted nobleman come to pay her respects.A little nobleman doesn't pay attention to her, whose influence is it relying on?The resentment against the emperor surged up, and the empress dowager was furious. She was the most important person in the harem, and she was the emperor's grandmother. Since Meng Guiren did not come to Shoukang Palace, she would go there in person to discipline the emperor. The new favorite concubine who obeys the rules!

The Empress Dowager immediately ordered a few stout nuns to take Miss Song to Funing Hall.Concubine Gui was not able to accompany her due to physical discomfort.

The Empress Dowager wanted to inquire about the Funing Palace, but she did not know that there was someone from the Emperor in the Shoukang Palace. As soon as the Empress Dowager left, a nun sneaked out of the Shoukang Palace. Zhao Zheng found out about the Empress Dowager soon plan.

After pondering for a while, Zhao Zheng ordered Wang Yongshun to bring Meng Xuanyun into the main hall and mix in with the guards. At the same time, he ordered a confidant to pretend to be Meng Guiren and stay in the side hall to deal with the Empress Dowager.He himself got up immediately and rushed back to Funing Hall.

If the empress dowager lives in peace, he will give her honor for a while. If she is shameless, he will not look at the late emperor's face. His patience with this old lady has reached the limit. If you dare to touch his Ni Lin, you must be prepared to bear his anger.

"My lord, don't I have to visit the Empress Dowager?"

Meng Xuanyun put back on his bodyguard uniform and waited in the main hall. The empress dowager led a large group of people, but they went to the side hall. Everyone around him went to greet him, but he and the prince stayed behind. Master had the illusion that he and the Empress Dowager just passed by.

Wang Yongshun got Xia Linchun's warning first, and then came the emperor's secret order, he had to protect the young master even if he risked his life, and said with a smile: "The emperor will come soon, the young master and the old slave will just wait for the emperor."

The more easily Wang Gonggong spoke, the more disturbing this situation was.

wrong!The little marquis said sharply: "My lord, why did the empress dowager go to the side hall?"

The side hall is already his residence, and Director Wang deliberately kept him. Could it be that the Empress Dowager is looking for him?

Manager Wang stammered: "The Empress Dowager wants to meet a noble person..."

"Where are the concubines from the Palace of Funing?"

Little Hou Ye's eyes were piercing, not only in Funing Hall, but also in the entire Six Palaces.

Manager Wang knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he closed his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Meng Gui, who was sleeping last night... the Empress Dowager came here to find fault after looking through the Cheng En Lu."

Young Master: "..."

Little Hou Ye's eyes darkened and he almost stopped standing. Wasn't he the one who went to the dragon bed last night?

Isn't this forcing a good man into prostitution? You are such a good man, why did you become a noble man?

Manager Wang mistakenly thought that he was afraid, so he comforted him and said: "Don't be afraid, the emperor is already on his way here, it is good for the young prince to stay here at ease, don't care about the empress dowager, the emperor will definitely protect the young prince , won’t let the young master suffer any grievances.”

The young master was taken aback when he heard this: "The emperor will protect me?"

The empress dowager is the emperor's elder and grandmother, and the emperor will turn to protect him?

"Why not!" Director Wang said decisively: "Other old slaves can't guarantee this, but dare to guarantee it with the head of the item. How does the emperor treat the young master? Has the young master not counted these days..."

Manager Wang spit all over the place, and listed all the good things the emperor had done to the young prince. The young prince followed him and thought about it for a while, his heart suddenly brightened, and he suddenly asked: "The empress dowager, if you can't find Mrs. Meng?" What will happen?"

Mr. Wang said: "I can't find it. The old slave has already prepared a palace servant to pretend to be Mrs. Meng later and get reprimanded."

The young master blurted out: "No!"

Manager Wang:? ? ?

The little marquis blinked at him: "I mean, there is another way...it doesn't have to be so troublesome."

The empress dowager trespassed on Funing Hall, but whose face was she really hitting?

Little Hou Ye thought to himself, Ye is the emperor's bodyguard, but he wants to protect the emperor.

Seeing the mischievous curve of his mouth, Mr. Wang suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Young Lord, what do you... want to do?"

Meng Xuanyun said: "My lord, what if the Empress Dowager fails to find Meng Guiren, but finds...another suspicious person?"

"Do me a favor, Eunuch Wang, please send a word to the emperor... Thank you for his kindness to me, I will send him a gift, please transfer to Shoukang Palace to wait."

"Finding someone to pretend to be Meng Guiren is not easy to finish. I will take care of my own affairs."

And this identity, I don't want to give it to others!

Meng Xuanyun walked out of the hall confidently.

The Empress Dowager ordered people to search for a long time, but no Meng Guiren could be found in the side hall of Funing Hall. Finally, the nuns found a "suspicious-looking" palace guard from the Bishui Courtyard.

This bodyguard was handsome, he seemed to be frightened when he saw the Empress Dowager, he just knelt down and refused to say anything.The Empress Dowager thought that there must be a ghost here.

"Who are you?"

The guard's eyes flickered, and he couldn't kneel down.His hair was wet, as if he had just showered.

The empress dowager just thought that the emperor had hidden a male favorite, so she vetoed it.If it's a male favorite, why would he wear an ordinary bodyguard uniform?

And what kind of bodyguard would appear in the Clear Water Courtyard alone, with water stains all over his body, the hot spring pool in the Clear Water Courtyard is for the emperor...

Mr. Meng can't be found anywhere, maybe he is accompanying him. Mr. Meng lives in the side hall of Funing Hall, so could the guards under the same roof be...

Song Yinqiu, who wished that Meng Guiren could never turn over, smiled viciously, and whispered a few words to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager turned from doubt to anger in the blink of an eye.

"Are you Meng Guiren's concubine? How courageous!!"
