Just a few months after Meng Shu married into the palace, she discovered that the Queen Mother had put on a lot of flesh and her face had become round.
"I don't have the patience to wait for her to die. I just want her to have no time to care about anything else for the time being." The emperor said and looked at Meng Shu: "It's almost time. In a short time, you will be the only master of the harem, and everyone will regard you as the master." "
Meng Shu blinked when he heard this: "Including the emperor?"
The emperor didn't expect her to be naughty. He was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Including."
Meng Shu glanced at the emperor and said nothing.
……
Early the next morning, Meng Shu's father and mother entered the palace.
It has been a month since her wedding to the emperor.
Her father was ordered to guard the border, and those Xiqiang people were ready to take action. She could not stay in the capital for a long time, so she had already given a note to the emperor and was about to leave for Guiyun City in a few days.
Before leaving, I naturally want to see my daughter again.
After all... I don’t know what year or month it will be when we meet again next time.
Meng Shu had people prepare their favorite snacks and fruits early in the morning, and also asked the small kitchen to prepare their favorite meals, so that they could eat together at noon.
"Shu'er, is the emperor treating you well?" Mrs. Lu took her daughter's hand and asked softly.
"Okay, don't worry, mother, it couldn't be better!" Meng Shu nodded.
"My daughter looks so good in the queen's uniform, noble, generous, and charming." Mrs. Lu couldn't help but praise her daughter.
"Cough cough cough..." Meng Huaiyuan coughed twice quickly, signaling his wife to take it easy.
Meng Shu is indeed their daughter, but she is also the mother of a country. They cannot talk to their daughter too casually.
Although I don't say that I strictly abide by the rules, I still have to be tolerant.
Mrs. Lu didn't buy it. She glared at Meng Huaiyuan and took her daughter to the next door bedroom.
His husband is rigid.
Even if their daughter becomes a queen, she is still their daughter!
There are no outsiders around, so why do you have to follow so many rules?
……
The emperor has no court meeting today.
In recent days, the emperor would come to see Meng Shu whenever he had the opportunity, and would also stay at Fengyi Palace at night.
Over the past few months, his Taiqian Palace has almost become a decoration.
He knew that Meng Shu must have something to say to his parents. If he were present, Meng Shu would be better off, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law would definitely be very reserved.
In order for them to reminisce about the past, the emperor returned to Taiqian Palace.
He planned to go there during lunch time.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you, your concubine." Cui Jingyu walked in and bowed.
"Why is she here?" The emperor frowned slightly: "Tell her to go to the queen if you have anything to do. I will not interfere with the affairs of the Sixth Palace. If it is the matter of the previous dynasty, as a concubine, she should not interfere, but... The Queen is not free today, let her go another day.”
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shun has brought a food box. I think she is bringing food to the Emperor," Cui Jingyu said quickly.
The emperor became a little unhappy after hearing this: "I have no shortage of food here, let her take it back."
"Yes, slave, go now!" Cui Jingyu responded and trotted out quickly.
Wang Fusheng looked at his retreating back, then turned to look at the emperor who was reviewing the papers, and felt a sigh in his heart.
If it were the Queen who came today, the Emperor would definitely go out to greet her immediately after hearing the news.
If it were Concubine Shun, she would not be welcomed.
In fact, the emperor is handsome and has a good temper. Most of the ladies in the palace like him.
Including the three who had an affair with King Wei, they may not really like King Wei.
But the emperor never got close to these concubines, and was even somewhat resistant to them, so that these ladies did not dare to come to Taigan Palace for a long time.
Somehow, Concubine Shun came here today.
In the past, when the Empress had not yet entered the palace, they had not seized the opportunity. Now that the Emperor was preoccupied with the Empress, they had no chance.
Concubine Shun brought food to the emperor. Was it because she felt unwilling and wanted to try it?
In the eyes of these empresses, although the emperor is a useless person who cannot touch them, he is handsome and a noble person. As concubines, if they can get a little favor from the emperor, they can accept it even if there is no male-female affair.
However, the emperor was sick and had too much time to take care of himself. He had no time to be romantic with women.
Now that the emperor is getting better and married to the queen, everyone probably sees hope again.
Otherwise, Concubine Shun would not come to please the emperor.
After a while, Cui Jingyu came back again.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shun said that she has something important to report."
"Let her find the queen another day!" the emperor said without raising his head.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Shun said that this matter is extremely urgent. The Queen is afraid that she won't be able to make the decision, so please make your decision."
After hearing this, the emperor was immediately unhappy: "She is a concubine. Even if there is something important, the queen will have the final say and ask her to step down."
"Yes!" Cui Jingyu didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly went.
"Wang Fusheng, instruct the guards guarding the entrance of Taiqian Palace not to let in any concubines who are from the harem. Tell them to see the Queen if they have any questions."
Today it’s Concubine Shun, but tomorrow she might be replaced again, and this one will come and that one will come too, isn’t that going to annoy him to death?
The emperor didn't want to bother sending these women away, so he simply didn't let them come to Taigan Palace. It was like this in the past anyway, and the emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Yes, slave, go right away." Wang Fusheng knew that the emperor was angry and responded quickly.
The news that Concubine Shun was rejected by the emperor soon spread throughout the harem.
When Meng Shu heard about this, she and her mother were enjoying flowers and drinking tea in the garden of Fengyi Palace.
"It seems that the emperor really lives his life with you alone as he promised you before." Mr. Lu smiled from ear to ear.
Her husband Meng Huaiyuan never took concubines, and they had a very good relationship with each other. She only had one daughter, Meng Shu, so of course she hoped that her daughter would marry a good husband who would be devoted to her.
But the daughter married the emperor, who was the supreme emperor.
The late emperor had a deep love for the queen mother. Didn't he still have three concubines in the harem?
As an emperor, it is abnormal not to have concubines.
What's more, there were originally nine concubines in the emperor's palace.
"Don't worry, mother. Since my daughter agreed to enter the palace and become a queen, she has already thought clearly about it. No matter whether the emperor can do it or not, my daughter will not take advantage of others. The future is still very long. Some things can be taken care of for a while, but not forever. , Who knows what the future will bring? Let’s see!” Meng Shu said with a smile.
The emperor can indeed only go to her Fengyi Palace now, but what about the future?
He now still has two threats, the Queen Mother and the King of Wei. In order to successfully regain power, he will definitely not touch the concubines in the harem, so as not to expose the fact that he has recovered.
Once the Queen Mother and the King of Wei learn of this, they will definitely fight back, otherwise a river of blood will flow out.
Now that they both have the same goal, they can naturally help each other and think more about each other.
Without these threats, things will be different.
Meng Shu was mentally prepared for this.
