"Has Princess heard about the rumors outside?" Meng Shu looked at Princess Jiahe who was drinking tea and asked with a smile.
She has been in the palace to accompany Princess Jiahe for seven days. Except for the excuse to watch the master refining alchemy and talk to the master for a while, she has spent the rest of the time in the Yaohua Palace, staying behind closed doors.
Fortunately, no concubines came to trouble her, and the Queen Mother never summoned her, which made Meng Shu feel relieved.
She is very afraid of trouble.
"What rumors?" Princess Jiahe blinked at Meng Shu: "Sister Meng is still in the palace and can know the rumors outside. It's really amazing!"
"I also heard from people in the palace that the princess has a noble status and there are some things they may not dare to say in front of the princess. The maidservant beside me listened to a few words and found them interesting, so she told me."
"What's the rumor?" Princess Jiahe asked.
"There are rumors in the market that the emperor was not born to the Queen Mother, so the Emperor just had a political disagreement with the Queen Mother, which made the Queen Mother angry. Regardless of the Emperor's physical weakness, he got angry with the Emperor and secretly signaled the civil and military officials of the court to accuse him of illness and put pressure on the Emperor. The emperor was forced to go to Taikang Palace and kneel for an hour before the queen came to court," Meng Shu said in a low voice.
The people serving in this dormitory are all close friends of her and Princess Jiahe, so there is no need to hide some things.
She wasn't worried about these people leaking secrets.
After all...this matter has been spread throughout the palace.
It's not like she's talking alone.
After hearing what Meng said, Princess Jiahe almost choked on the snack in her mouth.
"Princess, drink water!" Meng Shu quickly handed over the teacup.
Princess Jiahe swallowed the snack, and after a while she regained her composure. She widened her eyes and said, "Who did you hear from the maid next to you?"
"It has spread throughout the palace that the Queen Mother does not care for the emperor at all. She made the emperor kneel at the gate of Taikang Palace for an hour with his weak body. Isn't this because she wants the emperor's life? How can a biological mother do this? What to do? If it were King Wei, let alone an hour, the Queen Mother would not be able to part with it. "
Princess Jiahe was speechless when she heard this.
This news couldn't have been released by the emperor brother himself, right?
"The people outside are so brave. They dare to arrange the story between the Queen Mother and the Emperor Brother. Jian Shou deserves to be damned!" Princess Jiahe coughed lightly and said: "The Queen Mother was very kind to the Emperor Brother, but this time, the mother and son were in trouble. It's just a little conflict, how can there be an overnight feud? In the past two days, the queen mother went to court, and the mother was kind and filial to her son. There was no difference from the past. Rumors stop with the wise. Sister Meng, don't believe it. Never mention it again in the future. This is the case."
"Okay, I will listen to the princess!" Meng Shu smiled and nodded.
"Qin Tian Jian sent me several auspicious days. My mother and I prefer May and August next year. Sister Meng, come and help me choose to see which day is better." Princess Jiahe quickly changed the topic and mentioned Qin Tian Meng Shu was shown the auspicious post sent by the supervisor.
"One is on May 26th, and the other is on August 6th. Which one does Sister Meng think is better?"
Meng Shu felt reassured when she saw that she didn't want to mention it.
Given the temperament of Princess Jiahe, even if the matter had something to do with the Emperor and Queen Mother, she would not react like this.
Meng Shu stayed with her in the palace for seven days and got to know her temperament.
In the past seven days, she had heard a lot of gossip from Princess Jiahe, almost all of which was related to the royal family. This shows how bold this princess is, and there is nothing she dare not say.
The more she acted like this now, the more Meng Shu felt that the rumors were true.
In fact, if she thought carefully about what Master said at the beginning, Meng Shu should have had doubts.
It's just this kind of thing. If I didn't hear some rumors, I really wouldn't think about it.
After all, the royal family has never had any family ties. In order to compete for power, it is not new for fathers and sons to kill each other and brothers to kill each other.
It would be acceptable for the Queen Mother to kill the Emperor's mother and son.
Meng Shu was familiar with history books and knew that there was a queen mother in history who still refused to delegate power even after her son took over the throne. In order to monopolize the power, she was so mad that she poisoned her son after her concubine gave birth to a prince, and then supported him while he was still in his infancy. His grandson ascended the throne and he continued to control the government.
That happened more than six hundred years ago. At that time, the owner of this world was the Daxing Dynasty, and the Queen Mother was called Queen Mother Xuan.
Later, the world was in chaos, and rebels from all over the country attacked the capital one after another in order to seize the throne. The Queen Mother Xuan finally fled with the young emperor, trying to hide her power in the north in order to make a comeback. However, she was betrayed by her subordinates on the way, and the Queen Mother Xuan finally had to He threw himself into the river without taking the little emperor with him.
When people picked them up, Queen Mother Xuan had drowned, but the little emperor was still breathing. It was only then that everyone discovered that the little emperor turned out to be a little girl.
Empress Dowager Xuan did not hesitate to kill her son with her own hands for the sake of power, and then used her granddaughter to pretend to be her grandson to succeed her. Such behavior is unbelievable.
But in fact, the emperor was indeed her biological son.
Therefore, after talking to the master that day, Meng Shu also accepted the fact that the Queen Mother was plotting against the emperor's biological son.
But after hearing the rumors in Beijing, she suddenly realized.
It is said that the poison of a tiger cannot eat its seeds. People like Empress Dowager Xuan are in the minority after all.
The Queen Mother treats the Emperor like this and prefers the King of Wei. This can only be justified if the Emperor is not her biological child.
Although Meng Shu followed Princess Jiahe and read the post with the auspicious date written on it, her heart was full of thoughts.
At this moment, the voice of the little palace maid suddenly came from outside.
"Your Majesty, be safe!"
"Brother Imperial is here!" Princess Jiahe was startled, stood up quickly, and took Meng Shu with her to pick him up.
The emperor's arrival was too sudden. He arrived at the main hall without anyone announcing it, which caught Meng Shu and the others off guard.
"Brother Imperial!" Princess Jiahe saluted.
Meng Shu, who was following her, also quickly knelt down and said, "Greetings to the Emperor!"
"Get up!" The emperor paused for a moment, then took a few steps forward and sat down.
Wang Fusheng, who was following the emperor, saw clearly that the emperor clearly wanted to help Miss Meng, but he raised his hand and held back.
It's not that these slaves are overthinking it, but the emperor's recent behavior is a bit abnormal.
He wanted to come to Yaohua Palace several times, but for some reason, he finally gave up.
Yesterday, when everyone was halfway there, he ordered them to divert to the Royal Garden, where they stayed for less than a quarter of an hour and then returned.
In the past few days, the emperor often sent people to Yaohua Palace to reward him with food. This was rarely the case before.
"What have Xuan'er been doing recently?" The emperor asked with a smile after Meng Shu and Princess Jiahe got up.
Princess Jiahe was speechless when she heard this. Didn't the imperial brother ask her to invite Meng Shu into the palace to teach her whipping techniques and help her refine beauty pills? Why do you ask questions knowingly?
However, remembering that Meng Shu next to her didn't know about this, Princess Jiahe patiently replied: "Brother, I am learning the whipping technique from Sister Meng these days, and occasionally accompany Sister Meng to refine beauty pills. "
