Panda: Well, two of you. In fact, all these were just a preparation for Ni Huang. There was no need to take it too seriously. Regardless of whether he liked Mei Changsu like in the TV series or Nie Feng like in the novel, he was Xiao Chu's dish in the book. Don't ask me why, just don't scold me.。。
"Brother Xiao is also a smart person. Do you think I should believe you?”Mei Changsu did not answer Xiao Chu's question directly. Instead, he asked a question in return.
"If I were you, I would believe it.”Xiao Chu looked at the palace city under the setting sun. The tall palace seemed to be gilded by the golden sunset. This scene was very artistic, very poetic, and very intoxicating. However, the people in these halls probably wouldn't have the fortune to see such a beautiful scene. "The capital of Daliang, the ancient city of Jinling. There were too many dirty secrets hidden in this. The civil did not think about politics, the military did not think about war, every day they were trying to figure out the meaning of the emperor, fighting with each other. The Crown Prince and Prince Yu have been fighting for the throne for more than ten years, but what about our Emperor? Not only was he not worried that the struggle between the two parties would lead to the decline of Daliang's national strength, he was even supporting the struggle between the two parties! Forgive me for being blunt, but if the Daliang monarch can't be a monarch and the officials can't be officials, can the Daliang Empire last long?”
Mei Changsu let out a sigh. How could he not know what Xiao Chu was saying? However, he didn't believe that Xiao Chu was trying to change the style of the Supreme Court of Daliang. The imperial court of Daliang was already rotten. Even if someone could overthrow this platform that was rotten to the bone, the person who overthrew it would be crushed into pieces by the collapsing platform! From his interactions with Xiao Chu these few days, he could tell that Xiao Chu was not a fearless person. Even Mei Changsu himself could only choose to save the country through a roundabout way.
"The Crown Prince is not a wise ruler. Although Prince Yu is quite famous for being virtuous and respectful, Prince Yu's personality is the most similar to the current Emperor. Prince Yu inherited His Majesty's suspicious personality and was not a wise ruler.”Xiao Chu made an inviting gesture, and the two of them walked side by side, like two best friends. Xiao Yue, Fei Liu, and the stunned Ting Sheng followed behind them. Xiao Chu continued," Fortunately, Daliang has a strong foundation. Its land is vast and it can still hold on for a while. However, if there is another emperor like His Majesty, Daliang will be divided by Northern Yan, Dayu, Southern Chu and other countries sooner or later. Ever since the Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains had been plagued with disasters. Although the foreign tribes had invaded for more than two hundred years, the Northern Yan and the Great Yu, which had merged with the foreign tribes, had been eyeing the Han Family of Daliang covetously. Brother Su, I'm afraid you already have a way to save Liang, right?”
Mei Changsu hesitated for a moment, but he still nodded. Xiao Chu had already given Mei Changsu everything he had. If Mei Changsu was still hiding it, it would be too pretentious. "We already have a wise master and a plan. Brother Xiao, do you want to join us?”
"If I'm not wrong, it should be His Highness King Jing, right? However, only the Crown Prince, who had a righteous status, Prince Yu, who was talented but had a bad temperament, and King Jing, who was far away from the court and held military power, were qualified to compete for the 95th position.”
"Brother Xiao is indeed intelligent." Mei Changsu wasn't too surprised. With Xiao Chu's intelligence, it would be strange if he didn't notice. Mei Changsu bowed deeply to Xiao Chu and said," If Brother Xiao can really help King Jing, with our capabilities, the structure of the imperial court of Daliang will be overturned in less than two years. King Jing is resolute by nature and will not see injustice. Everything has its reasons. If His Highness King Jing succeeds in the succession, Daliang will definitely be a bright and prosperous place.”
"Since someone wants to clear this pool of muddy water, I can relax a lot.”Xiao Chu chuckled and said," I am just a doctor. I think my medical skills are extraordinary, but I am not good at fighting for power in the supreme court. I have no ambition. I just want to be a rich and lazy person in the medical hall."”
"Who doesn't want to be a wealthy and idle person? But Brother Chu, someone has to stand up and change, right? I feel that my talent is lacking, so I hope Brother Xiao can lend me a hand.”
"When Brother Su really becomes King Jing's aide, come and find me. I'm tired today, so I'll go first.”Xiao Chu smiled and nodded at Mei Changsu. "Brother Su, you can take this kid away after the storm passes three days later. Oh, right, Brother Su, don't forget to come early tomorrow morning.”
Since Xiao Chu was so determined, Mei Changsu did not say anything more. He nodded and got on the carriage and flew back to the snow hut of the Marquis of Ningguo's Xie Residence.
Xiao Chu smiled as she got on her horse and led Xiaoyue and Tingsheng towards the clinic.
"Mei Changsu, I know your plan, but you don't know anything about mine. I do want to assist King Jing, but not now.。。”
The next day, Mei Changsu arrived early as usual. During the treatment, Mei Changsu did not mention anything about yesterday's incident. After the treatment, Mei Changsu went to the front yard to see Tingsheng, who had eaten and slept well.
Three Years of Yuan You (Eh, I hope it won't be another slap in the face.)）3rd of October.
When the cup of pure and fragrant wine was brought to Princess Ni Huang's eyes, she did not hesitate to reach out and receive it. She raised her head and smiled at the person who toasted her.
Noble Consort Yue's delicate and fair fingertips drew a small arc in the air before she retracted them in front of her. Her purple phoenix dress fluttered slightly, and the fragrant air rang softly. She was also from Yunnan. She had left her hometown and entered the palace for thirty-five years, but she had never been able to return to her hometown. When she asked the princess about the scenery of her hometown, her eyes rippled as if she was still a young girl.
Princess Ni Huang's eyes were filled with nostalgia and sorrow, and she relaxed her tensed nerves in the palace.
"Every year, the gulls return to the shore of Lake Cui, and the scenery hasn't changed much. It's just that weeping willows have been planted around the shore, adding a lot of beauty. The Emerald Cloud Pavilion that the Empress had mentioned was still there, but the Hidden Temple had lost its fire once and had been moved to another location.”Ni Huang raised her cup to her lips, but she did not drink. She only touched it slightly before she continued," As for the eminent monk who deciphered divination, I have never seen him before."”
"This is probably an opportunity. The divination of that eminent monk was indeed effective. If he was still here, he could ask where the princess's life was going to end.”Noble Consort Yue said lightly. Seeing the princess stop drinking, she was not in a hurry to persuade her. Instead, she smiled and drank her own cup. Back then, she was the most beautiful woman in the harem. In addition to her gorgeous clothes and exquisite makeup, her smile still had the charm of a toppling city. However, the fine lines that quietly climbed up from the corners of her eyes were like the marks of time. No one could stop it.
"Since the Empress misses her hometown so much, why not request the Emperor to return to her hometown?”
"BenGong can't be compared to the Empress, Jinling City is my home.。。The journey from Yunnan to the capital is long. Unless I am accompanied by a carriage, there might be hope of returning to take a look. If I want to ask the imperial edict to allow me to return alone, I'm afraid there is no such rule. I only hope that in the future..." At this point, Imperial Consort Yue suddenly felt that it was inappropriate and hurriedly swallowed her words.
Although Princess Ni Huang understood, she pretended not to notice and let the words slip by her ears. Although a noble consort could not leave the palace and travel mountains and rivers to visit her relatives, if the Crown Prince ascended the throne in the future, it would not be difficult for him to go on a tour with his mother. However, such a future was built on the premise that the old emperor would pass away, so he naturally did not dare to casually mention it.
However, even if she didn't say it out loud, as the Crown Prince's biological mother, she would wait for such a day sooner or later if nothing unexpected happened. Unfortunately, the royal family was constantly changing. Whether or not an accident would happen was the most unpredictable thing in the world.
At the very least, Prince Yu's existence was a thorn in her and her son's side.
Prince Yu's birth mother died early, and he was born after the Crown Prince. He had no right to fight for the throne, but he had been raised in the palace since he was young and was regarded as a son by those without children. Although the current Imperial Brother-in-law was naturally idle and lived a life of immortals, the students and old friends left behind by the Grand Preceptor were still a great force. In addition, Prince Yu himself was smart and suave, and he was the best at making the Emperor happy. Therefore, he was favored by all kinds of people. His treatment was clearly better than the other princes, and he was close to the Crown Prince.
Having been immersed in the harem for decades, this woman, who had been promoted to the imperial concubine with her beautiful body, was very clear that the day when she was stable, rich, and did not have to waste her mind was far from coming.
"Ni Huang, will you be able to stay in the capital for a long time? Bengong is looking forward to having a hometown person like you to talk to often.。”
"Recently, the Southern Territory is still relatively peaceful. After Brother Qing inherited the title and received the King's Seal, I am much more at ease. It would probably take another month or so.”
"Leaving so soon?" Noble Consort Yue looked surprised." After choosing the county horse, we still have to prepare for the wedding.”
Ni Huang smiled lightly and did not deny it. She casually said,"Let's talk about it again if we can decide."
"Junzhu is not an ordinary woman. The scenery of Beijing does not attract you. Instead, the tobacco and dense forest in the south are more suitable for your temper.”
Ni Huang was pleased to hear this and could not help but laugh,"The Empress has been in the capital for so long, but she still has some of the temperament of our Yunnan women.”
"Who hasn't had the high-spirited spirit of youth? It was just that after spending so many years in this palace, there was not even a single bit left.”Noble Consort Yue shook her head and sighed." Take today as an example. How could I not want to talk about my hometown with you and express my feelings? It's a pity.。。Even if I say that I'm just catching up, I'm afraid the princess won't believe me, right?”
Princess Ni Huang took a deep look at her, her eyes slightly focused. After a while, she simply replied,"Yes."
" Then I won't beat around the bush." Noble Consort Yue's expression was serious, and her tone became even more serious." The Young Master Sima Lei selected for this son-in-law selection was personally selected by the Crown Prince after visiting all the scholars in Jingdou. He is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and has excellent talent and virtue. It is said that the music chosen will not enter the princess's day.。。Moreover, this person's martial arts skills are very high. Although he can't compare to the princess, you are already such an expert. Why choose a martial arts fanatic as your husband? BenGong can guarantee that this Young Master Sima is definitely a good match for the princess. Moreover, you and I are from the same hometown, and the Crown Prince respects you very much. At this time, please support the Crown Prince more.”
Princess Ni Huang waited for her to finish speaking before she smiled and said,"The Crown Prince is the Crown Prince. How my Yun Nan Mu Residence is loyal to the Emperor today, and how the Crown Prince will be loyal to the new Emperor after he ascends the throne in the future, please do not worry about this. As for the matter of choosing a son-in-law, His Majesty had already set the rules. Young Master Sima was so outstanding, what was there to worry about?”
Hearing this neither soft nor hard rejection, Imperial Consort Yue actually only raised her eyebrows and laughed,""Actually, I already knew that I would get this answer, but I still had to ask in person. The stubbornness of us Yunnan people really can't be changed. "Alright, since the princess has answered so honestly, there's no need for me to force you. I'll toast you as an apology. If the princess doesn't mind my rudeness just now, please drink this cup of wine. When we meet again in the future, we will definitely only talk about the old scenery of our hometown and not mention these troubles of the court."”
Imperial Consort Yue covered her cup with her sleeve and raised her head to drink. Ni Huang could not insist on not drinking. Besides, although this was also the palace, it was not Zhengyang Palace after all. Therefore, she looked at the small cup and slowly drank it.
