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

Thinking of this, Cao Qinglian blushed a little, but in order to marry Chu Yuanfeng, she was willing to do anything.

She couldn't see Chu Yuanfeng on weekdays. If she wanted to get close to Chu Yuanfeng, she could only go to Meng Wenyao. Firstly, she would have a chance to meet Chu Yuanfeng, and secondly, she could find out what Chu Yuanfeng liked. woman.

Although she was very disdainful towards Meng Wenyao, a woman from outside the family, Cao Qinglian still pretended to be very enthusiastic and gave Meng Wenyao a gift.

"Oh, I don't know what my sister likes. These are the rouge and gouache I usually use, so I brought some to my sister. I don't know if she likes them?"

The first time she met Meng Wenyao, Cao Qinglian noticed that Meng Wenyao didn't wear makeup. This time she wanted to test whether Chu Yuanfeng liked such a girl who didn't like to dress up.

She gave the rouge gouache to Meng Wenyao, then took Meng Wenyao's hand and said: "Sister, put it away quickly. I'll see what kind of makeup my sister likes to use on weekdays. If there is something I like, I'll buy it from my sister without any hesitation." I want both of them back."

With that said, without waiting for Meng Wenyao's reply, he casually opened Meng Wenyao's gift box and found that it was empty.

She turned around in embarrassment and said with a smile: "My cousin, it's true. Now that I have my sister in the room, why can't I even buy rouge and gouache?"

Meng Wenyao watched Cao Qinglian's performance end, then smiled calmly and said: "I don't like those things, but I don't blame the prince for being inconsiderate."

"My sister is so good-looking that people can't take their eyes off her without using anything."

Regardless of whether Cao Qinglian sincerely praised her, Meng Wenyao felt very happy when she heard it and replied enthusiastically: "My cousin, thank you."

The maid Qinghong on the side felt a little guilty after hearing this. Chu Yuanfeng asked her to prepare clothes, jewelry, rouge and gouache, but she deliberately put them in her room instead of taking them out, just to see if Meng Wenyao was favored or not. Or when Meng Wenyao begged her, she reluctantly took it out to show her importance.

Who knew that Meng Wenyao didn't care at all, but her efforts were in vain.

The two talked about other things casually. Cao Qinglian left, and Meng Wenyao asked Qinghong: "Who is she and what is she doing here?"

Qinghong, who came out to the princess and wanted to be Chu Yuanfeng's wife, had a natural hostility towards Cao Qinglian. She said with a hint of ridicule: "She is the niece of the princess, her name is Cao Qinglian, she is just a relative, not the son of the prince at all. A serious cousin, she still calls her cousin every day, and everyone laughs at her in private."

Well, in fact, relatives can call each other whatever they want according to their seniority. Shouldn't relatives who are not blood relatives be laughed at?

"Although the princess is not the biological mother of the prince, she is also the stepmother. It is appropriate for Cao Xiaoer to call her cousin. Why are you laughing at her?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Qinghong carefully closed the doors and windows, and then whispered: "It's not that she was joking about calling her cousin, it's because she only wanted to be the prince's wife, and she didn't even look at her family background, but... As material to fill the house, the princess has put up the money of a serious master in the palace. Girl, listen to me, the prince will definitely not like her, and she will not be your mistress in the future. You don’t have to be afraid of her. , if you don’t want to pay attention to her, I will drive her away next time.”

Looking at Qinghong's provocative tone, Meng Wenyao felt that Qinghong seemed to have a grudge against Cao Qinglian. Also, one wanted to marry Chu Yuanfeng and the other wanted to climb into Chu Yuanfeng's bed, so they must be love rivals.

But she didn't have a big reaction to Cao Qinglian. Anyway, she just borrowed the seed and left. She didn't bother to care about any grudges in the house.

"No, I have no roots in the palace, so it's not good to offend others. You don't want to offend her in my name."

Obviously, Qinghong didn't hear a word of Meng Wenyao's words. She curled her lips and said: "Miss, you are still afraid of her. You are the first person that the prince has brought into his room in more than 20 years. In the future, you will Your status must be lower than that of the Crown Prince’s wife, and the future Crown Prince’s wife may not be favored by the Crown Prince. You are the most popular with the Crown Prince. In this house, even the future Crown Prince’s wife will give you three points. Are you afraid of a cousin? do what."

She is really good at igniting fire. Meng Wenyao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qinghong. If she was really ignorant and coaxed by Qinghong like this, she might become so rampant in this house and die by then. uncertain.

They had only been here a few days, and the intrigues had already begun. Meng Wenyao wanted to borrow money and leave as soon as possible to avoid getting stuck in the quagmire in the future.

"Qinghong, the prince doesn't like me very much. You see, she doesn't even come to my room. Don't say such things again in the future."

Qinghong spoke sarcastically, and found an excuse to leave after a while.

Then he ran to the front yard to find Chu Yuanfeng: "Your Majesty, if you have time, go and see the girl. My cousin came just now and I don't know what she said. After the cousin left, the girl hasn't been very well." Looking happy."

The sword-wielding hand paused. Chu Yuanfeng tried to understand what this meant. Did Cao Qinglian run into his yard to bully people?

It should be like this. Chu Yuanfeng felt that he still had to protect his own people. Those in the deep house could easily be plotted and bullied.

When he came to Meng Wenyao's room, he realized belatedly that he was not very good at coaxing people, and he couldn't beat Cao Qinglian, so how could he appease people.

Unexpectedly, when Meng Wenyao saw Chu Yuanfeng coming in, she didn't think about anything else at all and asked straight to the point: "How was the trial of Mr. Liu's case?"

When it came to business, Chu Yuanfeng had something to say. He sat down, took a glass of water that Meng Wenyao poured himself, took a sip and said: "Still checking, Yao's mother said that she provided a lot of aphrodisiacs, but she didn't I didn’t give it to Mr. Liu personally, Mr. Liu drank it himself, and no one else found anything. Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with you.”

Also, after Meng Wenyao, Mr. Liu was alive and kicking for many days before he died. Even if Meng Wenyao was drugged that day, it had nothing to do with Mr. Liu's death this time.

Relieved, Meng Wenyao asked curiously: "Is the prince here for something?"

Chu Yuanfeng was stunned by the question. He couldn't tell that he came specifically to see Meng Wenyao, and he didn't know how to ask Cao Qinglian how he bullied the person. Seeing that Meng Wenyao didn't look uncomfortable, he concealed his last name and said: " I know you are concerned about Mr. Liu’s case, so I came here to tell you.”

"Oh, then, if you have nothing to do, Your Majesty, go ahead and get busy."

After Chu Yuanfeng left, Meng Wenyao realized that she wanted to slap herself. Why did she forget to borrow the seed? If she continued at this pace, when would she be able to leave this cage?

The next day, Cao Qinglian came to the door again, and this time she took a lot of calligraphy and paintings.

"Sister, look, do you like anything?"
