"I really want to find you. I wish I could see you every day and never be separated. However... if Shu'er could ask me to go to the Duke's Mansion in person, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams." The emperor smiled.
Meng Shu really didn't expect him to say that.
This man was becoming less and less like an emperor in front of her.
This kind of words that make people feel ripples in their hearts when they hear them, people just say it now.
Meng Shu smiled, deliberately leaned on the emperor's shoulder, and said in a soft voice, "Will the young master come tomorrow? If you don't come, I will be sad."
The emperor was slightly startled.
He thought Meng Shu would glare at him, but...
Before the emperor could reply, Meng Shu jumped off the carriage.
The Duke's Mansion has arrived.
She waved her hand at the emperor: "Young Master, go back to your dream now, I just don't know if you will wake up laughing!"
The emperor looked at her retreating back and chuckled.
Was she afraid that he would "bully" her when she ran so fast just now?
Zhang Peng and others who were following the two of them looked at each other in confusion.
They finally saw it tonight.
The Emperor and Miss Meng really... opened their eyes.
When these two people get together, one doesn't look like an emperor, and the other doesn't look like a noblewoman from a noble family.
As for what it looks like?
They dare not say.
I don’t even dare to think about it!
……
When Meng Shu arrived at Songheju, everyone in the mansion had already arrived.
They will keep vigil at the old lady's side.
At this time, Songheju is brightly lit.
According to the rules left by our ancestors, candles must be lit on New Year's Eve, and the brighter the better.
The light of fire can ward off disasters and evil spirits, and also heralds a bright and bright year ahead.
"Where did Shu'er go just now?" The old lady took Meng Shu's hand and whispered in her ear.
Today is New Year's Eve, and the dinner in the house is early.
After the old lady rested in the room for a while, she sent someone to invite Meng Shu, but...it was almost an hour and she still hadn't come.
The old lady guessed that she was not in the house.
"Go see him!" Meng Shu didn't hide it from the old lady anymore. Her eldest brother had already seen it anyway.
The old lady was slightly startled when she heard this, but the old man didn't say anything. He just grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Meng Shu: "Eat it!"
Since it's a confirmed marriage, it doesn't matter if we meet once, the old lady comforted herself in her heart.
Her granddaughter is well-behaved and well-behaved. The emperor must have tricked her into going there.
That must be it!
The dignified emperors could put down their dignity and secretly run to their prince's mansion every now and then.
Today is just a trick to trick her Shuer into going out, what can she not dare to do?
The emperor is so courageous!
But having said that, the emperor also really liked Shu'er, otherwise he would never have reached this point.
Even if someone wants to win people's hearts and get the support of the Meng family, it doesn't have to be like this.
The old lady was still very happy.
If the granddaughter can marry the emperor who cares so much about her, she will definitely live a harmonious and beautiful life in the future.
The old lady has many grandchildren, but the one she loves the most is Meng Shu.
The old lady has lived in Guiyun City for more than ten years these years, and her grandchildren are either studying and practicing martial arts, or going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Meng Shu stayed with her the longest.
She taught Meng Shu all her medical skills step by step.
This granddaughter is not only the continuation of her bloodline, but also her pride.
The grandfather and grandson leaned together and talked for a while, and then heard Nanny Qi say that all the masters in the mansion had arrived.
The old lady started chatting with her two daughters-in-law.
As for the men in the mansion, they were playing chess in the hall of Songheju.
She waved her hand and asked Meng Shu to take her three younger sisters to play next door.
If you want to play chess or read a storybook, that’s fine!
Of course, Western sisters can also recite poems, guess crossword puzzles, cut window grilles, etc., it all depends on their own preferences.
If you don’t want to do anything, just sit down and eat and chat together, and no one will say anything.
"Sister, can you turn the flower rope?" Meng Wan picked up a flower rope from the basket, turned around and asked.
"I've never played before, just teach me!" Meng Shu shook her head.
The two sisters were playing and chatting.
"Sister, do you know what happened at the palace banquet today?"
"I don't know!" Although Meng Shu met the emperor today, she didn't hear him talk about the affairs in the palace.
"I also heard what my eldest brother and third brother said. I was far away so I couldn't hear her clearly. It seems... Concubine De was poisoned." Meng Wan lowered her voice and said with a mysterious look.
Meng Yan and Meng Xian, who were playing with the flower rope like them, nodded after hearing this: "We also heard that it was Brother Xi who told mother. Mother said that this matter is not trivial and should not be discussed arbitrarily."
"We sisters are just talking privately, it doesn't matter." Meng Wan said in a low voice.
"It has been spread throughout the capital that Concubine De is pregnant and she is King Wei's child. I don't know whether it is true or not." Meng Yan asked all the maids in the room to retreat and then whispered.
"There are rumors outside that the child in Concubine De's belly is already five months old." Meng Xian also said.
Meng Shu: "..."
If she remembered correctly, Sister Xi and Sister Wu would only be thirteen after the Chinese New Year.
In her mind, they were just two little sisters. She didn't expect that this was all they were talking about.
However, the daughter's family got engaged and married when they were teenagers, so there seems to be nothing wrong with them talking about these things at this age.
If you know more, you won't suffer too much loss when you get married in the future.
"It's been five months, so she was poisoned this time, and the baby in her belly may not be safe." Meng Wan said with a mysterious face: "I heard that Concubine De was pregnant with a boy, and the Queen Mother was looking forward to Concubine De giving birth to her. As for my grandson, now that Concubine De is poisoned, I don’t know how many people will be unlucky."
"As long as no innocent people are involved," Meng Yan said.
"Eldest sister knows medical skills, but Concubine De was poisoned. Can the child be saved?" Meng Wan turned her head and looked at Meng Shu.
"It depends on what kind of poison she was poisoned with. If it is the kind of poison that is too powerful and overbearing, not even De Concubine's own life can be saved, let alone the child? But... even if it is an ordinary poison, De Concubine cannot be saved. The life of the concubine will also harm the child." After thinking for a moment, Meng Shu explained the confusion to the three sisters.
"I don't know who is so bold as to poison the New Year's Eve family banquet, but... Concubine De was the only one who was poisoned. It shows how disgusted the poisoner is to Concubine De. If this is found out, it will be... It is a serious crime to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan," Meng Wan sighed.
According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, if you commit a major crime, your close relatives will be implicated, and sometimes even the entire family will be destroyed.
The price of doing bad things is too high.
So... no matter you are a high-ranking official or an ordinary citizen, you have to think clearly when you want to do something bad.
Once the paper fails to contain the fire, it will be a serious crime that will implicate the entire clan.
……
At the same time, in Taikang Palace, the lights in the west were brightly lit.
Concubine De, who was placed in the side hall, was bleeding profusely. Even though she had drank the antidote and anti-fetal medicine and was no longer in danger, the child in her belly was in danger.
