Chapter 205

Jiang Jinwen turned around and pinched her cheek. "Then you should go to Penglai hall to find Prince Chun and his butterfly. Don't waste your time here."

"I just spent the night with you." Zhuang Youyi put a big font on the bed unscrupulously. "I also want to go with Prince Chun. But he is a traitor. If I go with him, I will be taken to the execution ground within three days."

"Don't worry." Jiang Jinwen said with a smile, "the emperor won't cut off your head easily. General Zhuang is still defending the border. How dare he touch you."

"But what can you do? You can't stay awake all your life." Zhuang Youyi hesitated. "The emperor seems to want to have a little prince with you."

"It's still a long time ago, but I think the emperor seems to have no interest in the concubines in the back palace. Duke Chen has been arguing about it many times. He still insists on staying in the Donghua palace and the upper study. What's the matter?"

Zhuang Youyi turned her eyes. "Don't you think there are only a few of our concubines in the imperial palace. Isn't it more strange that we never set up a queen?"

Jiang Jinwen opened her eyes and thought for a while. Still sighed, "forget it. My brain hurts when I think about it. It's none of my business. The queen can't stand on my head. I'd better go to bed early."

Zhuang Youyi asked again, "but you will really be with the emperor in the future..."

"Just do what I should do." Jiang Jinwen impatiently buried herself in the quilt. "I'm not like you. When I came to the palace to spend my leisure time, my father still looked at the high point I climbed and added some glory to the family."

Zhuang Youyi sighed, "well, as long as you think it's OK, I naturally have nothing to say."

Jiang Jinwen got up and blew out the candle. "Go to bed and get up early tomorrow."

Zhuang Youyi tilted her head. "Why do you get up early? Do you want to see Prince Chun in Penglai hall?"

"Do you dream of Prince Chun?" Jiang Jinwen turned over and looked directly at her. "Why do you like him so much? Why don't you ask him to dress up as a bodyguard and stay with you in Penglai hall all day."

"That's not good. If someone finds out, it's over," Zhuang Youyi said. "Prince Chun is the first person I like. How can I tell me not to miss him."

"It's really a magic barrier," Jiang Jinwen covered her head with a quilt. "But your good day is coming. Many ministers outside have proposed that the emperor release Prince Chun."

"I don't think the emperor will agree," Zhuang Youyi bit her lower lip. "Prince Chun is also a traitor. How can the emperor let go of those who betrayed himself."

"Since you know he's a traitor, just take it easy," Jiang Jinwen rubbed her hair upset. "If you don't sleep, I won't sleep tonight."

Zhuang Youyi said softly, "well, I can't sleep. I just want to talk to you."

"What else do you want to talk about," Jiang Jinwen glared at her irritably, "is it not easy to have dinner with the emperor tonight and get you so excited."

"I didn't," Zhuang Youyi touched her shoulder. "Were you engaged to Prince Chun because you liked him?"

"I haven't seen him before we got engaged. It's just a match," Jiang Jinwen's lips pursed into a line. "I only saw him later."

Zhuang Youyi nodded. "I was fascinated by him the first time I saw him. How about you?"

"You think everyone is the same as you. You only care about the things on the surface and what I see..." Jiang Jinwen's voice became smaller and smaller until she couldn't hear. "It's much more than you."

Today is really like the weather we saw yesterday. It rained cats and dogs. Xue ronghua stood under the eaves and heard the crackling sound of raindrops hitting the bricks and tiles on his head. The thin raindrops slowly trained into a line and pulled out a huge rain curtain in front of him, as if to net Zhaoyun hall into the rain.

"Ronghua," Xie Yingmei came slowly with her stomach in her arms, "have you found xuanxiao?"

Xue ronghua dropped his eyes and shook his head, "no, when I was in the state of Qin, there was a maid with the same identity as her. Her name was Zhu Tong. One day she suddenly disappeared and never came back."

"Is it the man killed by Xiang he mentioned by xuanxiao?" Xie Yingmei covered her mouth in surprise. "Will xuanxiao... Never come back?"

"Xuanxiao has been away for so long. We must have this plan," Xue ronghua closed his eyes distraught. "I'm afraid there are new people in the palace."

Xie Yingmei blinked a few times. "It's terrible. I thought I could stay in the palace safely all the time."

"No one can be safe all the time. Life is always ups and downs," Xue ronghua reached out and touched her stomach. "How about you? You're in good health recently. You need to eat more. There's another one in your stomach."

Xie Yingmei bit her lower lip, and nono said, "Princess de... She seemed to know everything yesterday."

Xue ronghua's hands were stiff, frowned and asked, "what do you mean by this? How many do you mean that the German imperial concubine knows everything? What does she know?"

Xie Yingmei looked at her face and tightened her neck. "Princess de knows who I am..."

Xue ronghua suddenly opened her eyes and stared at her in a daze. "You said that the German imperial concubine knew you were general Xie's daughter?" she rubbed her clothes crazily, increased the volume and scolded, "what's the matter with you? I told you to be careful. How did she know?"

"She asked a few questions, and I answered in a muddle headed way. As a result, she directly pointed out that I was Xie..." Xie Yingmei's eyes darkened, and her eyes sparkled with tears. "In fact, I expected to be seen through by her sooner or later, but I didn't expect this time... I was still pregnant with the emperor's child..."

Looking at her lost and sad appearance, Xue ronghua's heart softened inch by inch and sighed gently. "Forget it, she already knew you were Xie Yingmei, but this time it was directly pointed out. It's good that we understand each other's identity, and we don't always have to rack our brains to cover up this obvious secret."

Xie Yingmei bit her lower lip and said with tears, "do you think she will tell the emperor about it? What about my child?"

Xue ronghua shook her hand and said softly, "Princess de will not tell the emperor that you are a fake princess. She also wants to use us to help her bring down the imperial concubine, but not necessarily in the future. You must not relax your vigilance against her."

Xie Yingmei nodded flustered, "OK, I'll stay away from her in the future."

"Not to stay away from her," Xue ronghua narrowed his eyes dangerously, "but after the imperial concubine, she is the biggest hidden danger."

The misty rain on the lake was hazy, and the thin rain fell, splashing circles and ripples on the lake. The sky blue sky seemed to be connected by the rain and the blue lake water.

"I thought it would be a sunny day today," Meng Qianzhong looked at the dizzy water lines on his sleeve and the corners of his lips tilted slightly. "Why did it rain?"

"Emperor, you have to stand inside," Chen Wanqian said anxiously. "The rain will not stop until when it rains. It's too heavy for the emperor to go out."

"It doesn't matter. I'll sit in this pavilion for a while, and I'm not in a hurry to go back to the study," Meng Qianzhong smiled. "Which concubine's palace is the nearest place from here?"

"There are no palaces here, only a few pavilions have been built. At the end of the lake is Yunhe Pavilion," Chen Wanqian looked at the sky. "Does the emperor want to go to Yunhe pavilion to see the big prince?"

Meng Qianchong bowed his head and meditated for a while. "I haven't seen a game for a long time. It's better to go and have a look when the rain stops. I don't know whether he has grown tall or listened to the Taifu."

"Yes," Chen Wanqian nodded. "The eldest prince recited all the books listed by the Taifu. The Taifu exaggerated that the prince was smart."

Meng Qianchong showed some appreciation in his eyes, but his tone was still serious. "No matter how many books he carried, he was just talking on paper. One day when all his courses were over, he would pick them up from Yunhe Pavilion and do chores for me in the study."

"Yes," said Chen Wanqian with a smile, "the eldest prince will not let the emperor down."

Meng Qianzhong's eyes fell on the rippling lake, "you say the color of the water in the lake is not right."

"No," Chen Wanqian looked. "Maybe summer is coming and the color of the lake is getting darker."

In the distance, the sound of Qingyue's flute suddenly came, like a wisp of smoke. Meng Qianzhong moved in his heart, raised his eyebrows and looked at the lake. He saw a small boat swimming in front of her in heavy rain. At the head of the boat stood a woman in sky blue gauze, holding a jade flute to her lips, and a maid holding a paper umbrella for her, The woman's clothes are the same color as the sky, just as the fairy in the sky fell to the world through this heavy rain.

"This song seems to be a famous song of the state of Qi," Meng Qianzhong stood up thoughtfully, "what's its name?"

"Green clothes are wet," Chen Wanqian took up his umbrella. "This was done by a hermit in the slave's hometown. It was said that it was a rainy day. The hermit met a green woman by the lake and fell in love at first sight. However, after the rain stopped, the green woman disappeared, and the hermit lost his heart and had a green clothes wet song."

"Yes," Meng Qianchong said with an interesting arc on his lips, "it seems that the woman in green has come to me."

Meng Qianzhong stood outside the pavilion, cool raindrops across his cheeks, and a happy smile appeared in his eyes. The boat was slowly getting closer and closer to the pavilion where he was, while the woman's flute was blowing more and more briskly. This should be the paragraph that the hermit fell in love with.

The sound of the flute gradually sank down, and Meng Qianchong's eyes became deep. It should be the moment when the woman in blue disappeared. The woman bowed her eyebrows and nodded. The sound of the flute was like the sobbing sound of a beauty, and her throat was lonely. The sound was dense and thin, and it was like a wisp of smoke floating in the misty rain, leaving only the heavy rain in the sky to commemorate the woman in blue who disappeared in the hermit's dream.

"Who are you?" Meng Qianchong narrowed his eyes slightly. "The flute is very beautiful. It's better than the musicians in my palace."

The woman moved the lotus step gently and came to him. Yingying saluted and said, "I'll see the emperor."

Meng Qianchong stretched out his fingers, lifted her chin, and looked at a pair of fascinating eyes, "are you..."

The woman's Crimson lips opened gently, and the brilliance in her eyes flowed, "maidservant Shen lvxiu paid a visit to the emperor."

Meng Qianchong picked up her hand and took her into the pavilion. "Which Palace are you from?"

"The maidservant is a new dancer in the palace," said Shen lvxiu with a smile. "She hasn't been assigned to any empress's palace yet."
