The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

The emperor turned to the queen and said, "The imperial concubine is not in good health, so I won't need to ask you to see her in the future."

Then he took Meng Wenyao away and left like that. Meng Wenyao didn't even have a chance to salute the queen.

Meng Wenyao was led by the emperor and turned around to look at the queen. The emotions she had brewed and the lines she had prepared for the show were of no use.

"Why are you walking so slowly? I've been waiting for you to burn incense at Zhaoyang Palace, but are you tired?"

After the emperor finished speaking, Daheng picked up Meng Wenyao and put her on the dragon chariot, and left the Zhaoyang Palace.

Meng Wenyao didn't expect that the emperor would arrive a step earlier and wait for her here. Was he afraid that she would be bullied by the queen?

The remaining concubines in Zhaoyang Palace thought so. They felt that the emperor was worried that the queen would bully Meng Wenyao, so they ended the morning court early and came to support Meng Wenyao without even leaving any dignity for the queen.

The concubines had been under the queen's lustful power for many years. When they saw the queen being humiliated for the first time, they all lowered their heads and pretended not to see it. Then they found reasonable excuses and left one after another.

After the sound of porcelain falling to the ground in Zhaoyang Palace, the queen summoned a capable eunuch to whisper a few words.

She was the daughter of a princess when she was born, and became the queen after her mother died. No woman in this life could step on her head. She couldn't bear it anymore. She wanted to teach Meng Wenyao a lesson immediately, and also took the opportunity to test the emperor's reaction. .

A few days later, Meng Wenyao was taking a nap when she heard sudden chaos of footsteps outside and the sound of someone shouting.

Just as she was about to get out of bed and take a look, Huazhi pushed the door open and said, "Madam, don't panic. There was an old lady who was sweeping the leaves. She accidentally burned the leaves and the fire was too big. It burned to a corner of the side hall. Now the fire has been put out and people are gone." It’s under trial, don’t worry.”

It did sound like a coincidence, and Meng Wenyao didn't take it to heart. It was only when he heard that many palace officials had been punished for this in the evening that Meng Wenyao realized that the matter was not simple.

"What punishment have you received?"

Huazhi said nonchalantly: "They served poorly and almost caused a fire that burned the empress. The empress fined several wives and eunuchs a month's salary."

A small thing in the palace can turn into a big thing. If this fire is really just an accident, then these people who are punished may feel resentful. Will they be on duty in the Mingguang Palace, but their hearts are towards someone outside? The inside should be in harmony with the outside.

If the queen ordered the fire to be lit, and the fire did not burn up, it can be seen that it was just a primer, and she must have other plans.

"Did the queen take the opportunity to change the palace attendants in Mingguang Palace?"

Huazhi scratched her head and said: "It seems that the people in Mingguang Palace are not serving well and they need to replace the nun in charge. However, the emperor did not allow the queen to touch the people in Mingguang Palace, so the queen fined a few people with a monthly salary."

Did the Queen's move cause people in the Mingguang Palace to be dissatisfied with her?

"Go, get a few purses, and make up for the monthly salary of the person who was punished. It doesn't make sense to serve me for a while, but to be punished instead of being rewarded."

Huazhi happily went to get the purse from the cage and said with a smile: "With the reward from the empress, they will definitely be very happy."

Huazhi took her purse and was about to go out. Meng Wenyao said quickly: "Wait a minute."

If those who are punished are rewarded for this, those who have done nothing wrong will definitely feel uncomfortable. Why are they not rewarded for not doing anything wrong?

"If you take more purses, everyone in Mingguang Palace will be rewarded with a monthly salary. Those who are punished will be rewarded more."

Winning people's hearts is something you can do if you have money, why not do it, not to mention her dowry is large enough.

The queen was angry enough that she didn't arrange for one of her people to be admitted to the Mingguang Palace. When she heard that Meng Wenyao was lavishly rewarding palace people and winning people's hearts, she was even more angry. This forced her to use a trick.

Because she didn’t know what the queen’s plan was, Meng Wenyao told Huazhi to pay attention to all changes and respond in time.

On this day, Huazhi said mysteriously: "Miss, I noticed that the guard patrolling outside seemed to have changed. That guard looked really good-looking, and he even smiled at me."

After saying this, Huazhi blushed. Meng Wenyao laughed so hard that her stomach ached, and educated her: "Huazhi, you are the one who is engaged. If so many things hadn't happened and you followed me into the palace, you would have gotten married. You Don’t be empathetic or fall in love. If your mother comes to the palace another day, you can follow her back and get married as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, I'm not the kind of person who can change my mind. Didn't you tell me to pay attention to the changes around me? I've seen the previous guards too, and they all looked at me intently. The man today really smiled at me. If there hadn't been so many people , I think he might come over and strike up a conversation."

Alarm bells rang in Meng Wenyao's heart. The queen couldn't move her, so she wanted to move the flower branches?

"Remember, don't leave Mingguang Hall too far. If that person really comes to strike up a conversation, just follow his words. I suspect that someone wants to set a trap for me and find the entrance from your side."

Since entering the palace, Hua Zhi has listened to a lot of palace fighting dramas, and her IQ has risen sharply. After hearing Meng Wenyao's words, she said with firm eyes: "Don't worry, my queen. I know the dragons and tigers' dens in this palace, so I will be extremely careful. Your Majesty. Please keep this slave for a while, otherwise I will be really worried if the queen is alone in the palace."

"Okay, let's Huazhi get married whenever we want, okay?"

The master and servant discussed the possible situation in detail, and then heard a shout from outside: "The Emperor has arrived."

As soon as the emperor came in, he held Meng Wenyao's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot the time when I was looking at the book. Yao'er must be hungry. If I'm late in the future, you can have someone call me."

Meng Wenyao tilted her head and glanced at the emperor, and asked provocatively: "The emperor went to have dinner elsewhere, and my concubine also sent someone to fetch her?"

The emperor laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "I won't go anywhere else for dinner. Could it be that Yao'er is jealous?"

It's time to consider the character design again. Her character design of a chaste and fierce woman is no longer usable. What should she change it to now? Pampered and overbearing? Unruly and willful? Infatuated and jealous? Gentle and kind?

Let’s try the character who is infatuated and jealous of the emperor first.

"System, how much is my favor worth?"

[Host, favorability value is 80. 】

Meng Wenyao pretended to have a cold face and said calmly: "How can I be jealous? The emperor is the emperor of everyone in the harem. What right do I have to be jealous? I am a second-married person, so the emperor can take a look and see that they are all concubines." The blessings gained through several lifetimes..."

What he didn't finish was blocked by the emperor. After he tasted it for a while, he carried Meng Wenyao and walked inside. Meng Wenyao quickly refused, not letting him get it too easily, and just let him see whether he could eat it or not.

"Your Majesty, my concubine died of hunger?"

The emperor stopped breathing heavily, looked at the bed inside, looked at the meals laid out outside, hesitated for a while and said: "Let's eat first."

He has not eaten meat for more than a month. Once he gets the idea, he can't bear it anymore.
