The second room also had three concubine rooms, one concubine and two concubines, both of which were taken away from the inner courtyard by the Imperial Guard and taken to the sky prison. The wailing, begging for mercy, and cursing of a group of people washed away the festive atmosphere. From the mansion to the master, to the servants, everyone kept their voices quiet and calm and solemn. What is meant by the emperor's anger and the blood drifting, they finally experienced it firsthand today.

The elders of the Meng family and the other branch members quickly heard the news. Not only did they blame Duke Meng, but secretly rejoiced that he was decisive in doing things and was able to kill his relatives righteously. Otherwise, wait for the emperor to personally investigate, and the nine families of the Meng family would not want to survive and insist on making trouble. The second room opened is even more hated to the bones, which is not half pitiful or unbearable.

Aunt Wen and concubines were sent back to the courtyard a long time ago because they were not qualified to go to the main hall to meet the emperor, and Meng Ruizhu rushed into a catastrophic disaster. In the main hall, Duke Meng led his wife and son to formally visit the emperor and Concubine De, and then invited them to a family dinner.

Steaming dishes and mellow wines were put on the table one by one, but everyone on the table was still thinking about the previous farce, and their attitude was rather formal.

"Since it's a family banquet, please order it as you please." Emperor Zhou Wu first picked up the chopsticks and added vegetables to the mulberry bowl. Duke Meng and the others showed a slightly relaxed expression when they saw it.

A plate of steamed sea bass was placed in front of the emperor. He was about to pick up his chopsticks to pick the thorns for Sang Yu, but Sang Yu held the back of his hand without thinking, and said softly, "The emperor, let the concubines come."

She smiled happily, took a section of the tenderest fish belly, carefully removed the fishbone, and put it in the bowl in front of the emperor, and whispered, "Eat it, it will be fishy when it is cold."

Emperor Zhou Wu raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, eating the fish, the joyful curvature of the corners of his mouth could not conceal it anyway. Meng Sangyu brought another plate of tea shrimps to his hand, peeled off the shells and piled them into his bowl, prepared with diligence.

Realistic little things! Emperor Zhou Wu laughed secretly while eating, and loved such sangyu to his bones. Sang Yu is actually very simple. If you treat her well, she will surely return with the same friendship, and getting along with her can't be more natural.

After taking a few more bites, he took the wet kerchief handed by the maid behind him, wiped the oil stains on Sang Yu’s fingertips, and smiled, “You’ve worked so hard to love your concubine, you eat quickly, don’t worry about me.” The words fell. She put Sangyu's favorite dishes into her bowl, and the piles were full.

The interaction between the two was extremely warm and tacit, causing everyone on the table to look frequently, and unknowingly relax their rigorous attitude. Especially Mengmu, seeing the undisguised affection in the emperor's eyes, she was quite surprised. What does the emperor mean? Do you really care about your daughter and want to seal her up?

Duke Meng didn't think so much. He picked up the wine glass to pay tribute to the emperor. Seeing that the emperor drank quickly, he suddenly laughed. Meng Yanzhou blushed and stood up, said something of allegiance, and drank three cups in a row. The emperor also gave three cups of respect in return, and immediately moved Meng Yanzhou into speechlessness. The atmosphere in the banquet gradually warmed up, and the three of them talked and laughed loudly, pushing cups and changing cups, not like monarchs and ministers, but more like family members.

Mengmu and Meng Sangyu looked at each other, and both shook their heads and laughed.

After drinking for three rounds, Meng Sangyu saw that the man's cheeks were a little red, and when he thought about going back to the palace, he quietly pulled his sleeves under the table to signal him to drink less. This little movement between the husband and wife greatly pleased the man. He turned his head and saw that the dark and deep eyes that used to be very clear now, bit her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not drunk. But since you don't like it. , I don’t want to drink it."

Seeing the playful gazes of his parents and brother, Meng Sangyu glanced at the man, and the agile eyes made the man laugh again and again. The two people are close to each other, and their demeanor is intimate. Such a strong warmth can't be done by acting. Meng's mother and Meng's father clinked glasses, and both smiled at ease.

After the banquet, Meng Sangyu walked around Meng's house with the man, and hugged each other for a nap in his boudoir, and the unity time soon arrived. Sitting in Yuhu and bidding farewell to the relatives who were sent off, Meng Sangyu turned her head back, her face full of dismay.

"Look at what you look like, I won't miss you in the future." Emperor Zhou Wu pulled her into his arms and joked while kissing the corner of her mouth.

The mellow aroma of wine was sent to the mouth by the man, spreading from the entangled tongue to every taste bud, making Meng Sangyu a little drunk. She held the man's cheek and took the initiative to deepen the kiss, finally waiting for her lips and tongue to separate, and whispered, "Thank you, the emperor today."

"It's fine if you are happy." The man smiled contentedly by scraping her straight nose. This simple and pure smile made Meng Sangyu's heart move slightly.

The New Year passed quickly, and the cold winter was coming to an end. The heavy snow layer gradually melted under the shining of the sun, and the bare branches sprout little buds, which looked very gratifying.

However, the severe winter in the hearts of the concubines still has not passed, because the emperor not only accompanies Concubine De personally, but also rests in Bixiao Palace one month after another. Even his Qian Qing Dian rarely returns, and he can't tolerate others. If things go on like this, where is their foothold in this palace?

Due to the emperor’s increasingly iron wrists and the ubiquitous Imperial Guard, Imperial Censor did not dare to point fingers at the emperor’s harem. However, the high-ranking concubines could not sit still, and they knelt to appeal in front of Cining Palace.

After coming down several times, even the indifferent empress dowager was a little disturbed, and summoned the emperor to preach.

When the son was seated, the queen mother frowned and said, "The emperor, Concubine De is not the only concubine who has an innocent body in the palace. You are so high-profile and dote on her. It is a blessing for her. The Meng family is already eye-catching. , Your behavior will only make her a target."

Emperor Zhou Wu has no expression on his face, and his deep eyes are unpredictable.

Seeing him like this, the Queen Mother slowed down her tone and continued, "Why don't the Lai Family bring a few concubines to come up and distract everyone's attention. The back seat, Imperial Consort, and noble concubine are all left empty, and the four concubines are only Filling the duo is really shabby."

"But it's up to the queen." Emperor Zhou Wu played with the teacup in his hand, his tone was extremely indifferent, as if it didn't matter to him. As if thinking of something, his cold facial lines suddenly softened, and he looked at the queen mother cautiously and said, "When Sang Yu is pregnant, the son will make her the queen. Since the mother also wants to lead a few people, it is better to bring Sang Yu into Call it the Imperial Consort."

"Yes, before the Ai family leaves, the concubine will not participate in the ceremony. It is too cumbersome." The queen mother nodded, frowned again, her tone became quite impatient, "Today, go to the other palace and stop those Woman’s mouth. In the middle of the month, Ai’s family left for Thousand Buddha Mountain, leaving Ai’s family quiet for two days."

"Don't worry, they won't bother the mother soon." Emperor Zhou Wu patted the back of the queen mother's hand, a dark light flashed in his eyes. After stepping out of Cining Palace, he habitually walked towards Bixiao Palace. Halfway through the journey, he remembered the instructions of the Queen Mother, and he hesitated for a moment to turn to the nearest Yufu Palace.

Concubine Ni of Yufu Palace heard the news and quickly led a group of palace people to the door to greet her. Her flushed cheeks revealed her excitement.

Emperor Zhou Wu faintly said ‘get up’ and walked straight over her towards the inner hall. He stayed for a while in front of the sleeping six prince’s couch, and after inquiring about his illness, he went to the residence of Wu Cairen in the side hall. Concubine Ni removed the luxurious and exquisite makeup, and slammed the makeup on the ground, thinking that Wu Cairen had never drunk the jewel soup, and smiled.

Hearing the eunuch's singing, Wu Cairen hurriedly walked to the front of the hall to greet him, and saw the dragon walking and tiger stepping, the handsome and inexperienced emperor, with two blushes on his cheeks, and water dripping from his bright apricot eyes.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." She bowed her knees, revealing a white neck.

Emperor Zhou Wu seemed to have never seen the beauty in front of him, waved his sleeves and said ‘no gift’ before walking into the hall. When he reached the door, he sneezed fiercely with the rich incense coming to his face.

"The emperor has caught the cold? Come to the brazier to get warm." Wu Cairen walked two steps tightly, and timidly retracted the arm that wanted to support the emperor, showing a daughter's tenderness, quite moving.

If it was Sang Yu, either he would not move forward at all, or he would be extremely diligent, and would never play with this kind of tactics. Emperor Zhou Wu glanced at Wu Cairen with an unpredictable look, and felt more and more bored.

Wu Cairen was so heartbroken by him that he poured a cup of tea by himself and brought it to him carefully.

Emperor Zhou Wu took it, took a sip and pushed the teacup aside. Tea is a good tea, but the brewing time is less than one ten thousandth of sangyu, and it is difficult to drink.

"The emperor, the court concubine came up with a post a few days ago. I always feel that there is a lack of charm, but can't tell the details. Can you help the court concubine to see?" Wu Cairen noticed the impatience of the emperor, and he lowered his head for a moment. Found the topic.

"Come here." Emperor Zhou Wu gave her a glance and said quietly.

Wu Cairen was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the maid to take out one of his most proud characters to the emperor for appreciation. She was born in a scholarly family and said she was not satisfied, but in fact she was quite confident in her calligraphy skills.

After receiving the script, Emperor Zhou Wu only glanced at it and lost all interest. The skills are not shallow, but the craftsmanship is too heavy, and there is no trace of sangyu spirituality. Sitting sideways and looking at the charming woman, Emperor Zhou Wu suddenly felt boring when seeing her eyes showing a bit of contentment but pretending to be humble.

"There is no god, so let's practice for a few more years." Putting the script aside, he stood up, shaken off these words indifferently, and hurried away with his hands.

Changxi walked quickly to follow, looked back at Wu Cairen, who was full of consternation and injury, and shook his head secretly: She is indeed a beauty with both talents and appearance, but with Concubine De in front of her, no matter how beautiful the beauty is in the emperor’s heart It's the ordinary wooden cortex.

In the Bixiao Palace, Meng Sangyu put down the purse that was about to be formed in his hand, and said manly, "It's almost time, the emperor should be back, and ask someone to go to the imperial dining room to pass the food."

Mother Feng hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Back to Empress, the emperor has gone to Yufu Palace. I heard that Wu Cairen has been summoned to bed. I am afraid that he will not come today."

Meng Sangyu was stunned, chewing on the word'come back' that he blurted out inadvertently, and laughed at herself. When did she think that the emperor came to Bixiao Palace for granted? This idea is bad!

She tidied up her needlework slowly, and met Mother Feng’s worried gaze. Her tone was calm and indifferent, “Don’t I have to eat if he doesn’t come? Tell someone to pass the food. Bring Er Bao in, and it will eat with me. same."

"Yes." Mother Feng was relieved, and hurriedly sent people to the dining room, and asked Bishui to carry Er Bao in.

With Emperor Zhou Wu, Er Bao could only stay in the penthouses of Bishui and Yin Cui. Even when he went to play in the garden, he had to be careful not to run into him, otherwise he would immediately be driven away by the eunuch next to him. . At this time, he was held in his arms for a good affection. It hummed happily, and its little tail flicked wildly. The cute appearance called Meng Sangyu immediately forgot the strange feeling of just now.
