wealthy queen

Imperial City, Lu Xiangfu

"Grandpa, I don't want to marry, I don't want to marry Xia Moyan!"

When the imperial decree was passed to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lv Mengrao, who had always been well-educated and reasonable, burst into tears, and fell into her mother's arms for a long time. Mrs. Lu's face was full of distress: "Father, what should I do?"

Meng Rao is their daughter who has been carefully cultivated and brought up according to the queen's specifications. Now not only can she not become a queen, but she has to marry the notorious Xia Moyan, how can they be willing?The emperor is too ruthless. The Lu family has been supporting him since he ascended the throne at the age of ten. Over the years, even if he is not in Daxia, they have tried their best to assist King Xiayang who replaced him. There is no credit but hard work. How can he Treat them like this?

"Master, you should say something."

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Mrs. Xiangye couldn't help urging her anxiously. No matter whether they really loved Mengrao at the beginning, or because she had the best background and the potential to be a queen, after many years, Mengrao was already their favorite. Seeing that the imperial decree has been issued, and the emperor ordered them to get married within a month, can they not worry anxiously.

"Tell me, what are you talking about? Are you trying to find a way without seeing the truth?"

Lu Xiang stared at him suddenly, stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Come here, take the post of the real minister and invite Wu Shangshu, the Grand Scholar and Cui Shangshu to the house."

Now the four of them are grasshoppers on the same rope, and they must work together.

"Yes."

The butler left in response, and Lu Mengluo, who was crying so much, raised her head with tears in her eyes: "Grandpa, why did the emperor brother do this? He obviously respected you very much when he was a child."

"Shut up, you can judge the emperor?"

Hearing this, Lu Shuren's complexion turned ugly again, all because of that monster Shen Liang, if he hadn't confused and encouraged the emperor, how could he be so ruthless?

"grandfather……"

"Fourth daughter-in-law, take her back to the yard. This matter is not something you women should be in charge of. The truth will make the emperor withdraw the imperial edict."

Lu Mengrao wanted to say something, but was forcibly interrupted by Lu Shuren. The fourth lady who was named looked at him and then at her daughter, and got up helplessly to salute them: "Yes, my daughter-in-law will leave."

After all, Lu Mengrao is the candidate for the future queen that the Lu family has devoted all their efforts to cultivating. She still has the ability to read people's faces. Seeing that her grandfather is obviously unwilling to talk to them, even if she is not reconciled, she can only leave the main courtyard hall with her mother.

"Mengrao, don't worry, no matter what father says, he is also the chief assistant of the court, the emperor will not disgrace him."

Back in their yard, Mrs. Lv Si took her daughter to comfort her gently, but Lv Mengrao pouted quietly where he couldn't see, and turned to her with tears in her eyes after the incident: "Mother, why don't you let your daughter not worry? The imperial decree has already come down to the prime minister's mansion, the emperor's elder brother was obviously a very gentle person before, how did he become like this now?"

After all, Lu Mengrao wiped away her tears again. How many famous sons-in-law did she reject over the years in order to become a queen?Now that she is 21, the emperor wanted to marry her to the royal residence of Deqin County to be a widow as soon as the emperor issued a decree. She would not agree to anything, and it was all the fault of Shen Liang. If he hadn't appeared out of thin air, why would the emperor's brother not want to marry? she?

"Ugh……"

Mrs. Lu Si sighed slightly, took her daughter's hand and patted it: "It is said that the empress Shen Liang is as beautiful as a banished fairy. A man always depends on his face. Under his instigation, it is difficult for the emperor not to be stupid."

She had also heard about Shen Liang's affairs. The outside world rated him most as being kind-hearted, but most of the rumors were not credible. If he wanted to be a real person with a kind heart, how could he cause chaos in and out of the wild as soon as he came back?Which empress would dominate the emperor alone, even the maids and maids are not allowed to stay in the palace?

"Mother, we can't let the queen harm the emperor's brother."

Having achieved his goal, Lu Mengrao grabbed his hand excitedly: "If this continues, the emperor's elder brother will really become a foolish emperor. He has a chance to become an emperor through the ages, how can he be ruined by his beauty?"

She doesn't know how grandpa will refuse the imperial decree to marry her, but she will never allow Shen Liang to occupy her position. Ever since she first met Pei Yuanlie, who was only twelve years old, when she was ten years old, her heart has always been attached to her. It's on him. In order to become his queen, she worked hard to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, took care of her husband and children, took power and housekeeper, and suffered so much for him. How could he marry someone else?Shen Liang dared to rob her Lu Mengrao of a man, she wanted him to die!

"Meng Rao, you..."

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Mrs. Lu Si was startled slightly, and then her expression became condensed: "Forget it, the queen is indeed a bit too much, even if she occupies the throne, she shouldn't encourage the emperor to abolish the Six Palaces for him. I will quietly let you go later." If people spread the word about this matter, then the people of the entire imperial city will oppose him, let's see how he can still secure his position."

There are many heirs in the prime minister's mansion, and Lu Shuren only has six legitimate sons. On weekdays, there are all kinds of fighting methods between the sisters-in-law, and Mrs. Lu Fourth is not an easy-going lamp. She has many such dirty tricks.

"Well, thank you mother, I knew that mother loves me the most."

Lu Mengrao was finally satisfied, and threw herself into her mother's arms happily. Mrs. Lu Si put her arms around her and smiled: "You are my only daughter, how could I not love you?"

"Ah."

The mother and daughter hugged each other happily, but they didn't know that in the main courtyard of Xiangye's mansion, Lu Xiang was furious. He sent someone to invite the Minister of Military Affairs, etc., but none of them came. Fortunately, the Minister of the Household Department was told by people that Xiangye's family was too high and he didn't dare to come. He was a little confused at first, but after carefully reading the imperial decree, he realized that the emperor's sentence was as big as Lu Xiang said. There is a problem, and the other three people are afraid to blame everything on him. The Hubu Shangshu undoubtedly has a deeper resentment because his daughter pointed it out to his grandson. Therefore, Lu Shuren was furious and smashed a lot precious things.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room in the Front Hall of the Empress Palace

"Your Majesty, Xia Moyan, the second son of the Prince of Deqin County, is asking to see you."

A little eunuch pushed the door open, and Pei Yuanlie, who was reviewing the memorial, paused with his pen, and slowly raised his head: "Xuan."

"Yes."

"Why is Mo Yan here?"

After the little eunuch left, Pei Yuanlie simply put down the cinnabar pen in his hand. He thought that the first person to come should be Lu Pang, or at least the king of Deqin County.

"I'm afraid I came here to beg you to take back the imperial decree. Although Mo Yan is absurd and uninhibited, he also lives a free and easy life. Sometimes I quite envy him."

Pei Yuanfeng, who was in charge of sorting the memorials, also stopped, with a slight smile on his face, so what if Xia Moyan didn't look like a man?He lives freely, never caring about other people's eyes, and no one can control him. It is a kind of ability to live like that in his whole life.

"Well, that year when I first came to Xia Kingdom, he was the only one who took the initiative to talk to me. At that time, he was very lively and always laughed. The Prince of Deqin and his wife loved him very much."

Pei Yuanlie also recalled the past. While the two were talking, a handsome man with a slender figure walked in.

"My brother Xia Moyan sees..."

"Okay, sit down."

He is none other than Xia Moyan, the second son of the Prince's Mansion of Deqin County. He and Pei Yuanlie are still cousins. Before he could salute, Pei Yuanlie leaned against the back of the dragon chair and waved his fingers. He pointed to the chair beside him.

"Hey... Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sweeping away the seriousness before, Xia Moyan smiled, walked over and sat down unceremoniously: "Your Majesty, you are not kind, we are cousins ​​after all, how can you force the woman you don't want to me? I've seen brother cheating, but I've never seen someone cheating as hard as you, then Lu Mengrao looks very fake, don't want it, my majesty, take back the imperial edict."

As for who is the most unruly person in the Great Xia Kingdom, Xia Moyan claimed to be the second, but he did not dare to say that he was the first. Although they are cousins, the number of times Pei Yuanlie has met him is very few. Judging by his current attitude, people who don't know may think that the relationship between their brothers is so good.

"You came here behind the back of King Deqin?"

They were about the same age, and Pei Yuanlie didn't take his attitude to heart, but just glanced at him lazily.

"It doesn't count?"

Xia Moyan folded his chest and stroked his chin pretending to be thinking: "Father wants me to get married quickly, but he heard that Prime Minister Lu blatantly slandered me for being inhumane, so he was so angry that he wanted to rush to the prime minister's mansion to settle accounts with them, should I?" I can't accept Lu Mengrao as a daughter-in-law either."

"So? How are you going to persuade me to withdraw the imperial decree? Really inhumane?"

Nodding clearly, Pei Yuanzheng was somewhat interested. The rumors were really unbelievable. Mo Yan didn't look as bad as the rumors said. His intuition told him that the real him might be hidden very deeply, just like his family. Just like Xiao Qi, the front and back are completely different faces.

"If you can take back the imperial decree, then I won't be humane."

This is true, can it be humane or can it be adjusted arbitrarily?

Not to mention Pei Yuanlie, even Pei Yuanfeng almost didn't hold back. Looking at the entire Xia Kingdom, there are probably not many who dare to talk to them like this. Pei Yuanlie narrowed his eyes slightly. Xia Moyan is really not a fuel-efficient lamp Just since he stopped him from saluting just now, he has figured out his bottom line, knowing that a conversation of this level will not anger him.

"Then you should marry Lu Mengrao."

Play tricks with him?Still tender.

Pei Yuanlie remained calm, but he wanted to see how capable Xia Moyan was.

"Farewell, Your Majesty, I'm already inhumane, why do you still let me marry you?"

Knowing what he had seen, Xia Moyan wanted to cry, but did he overdo it?This is terrible, since he knew that this cousin was not a fuel-efficient lamp when he was a child, it really made him see something, his life of carefree life is probably coming to an end.

"I'll give you another chance. Did you really like Han Botao back then?"

It was because of this incident that his reputation was so bad.

"Forehead……"

Xia Moyan's forehead darkened, should he tell the truth, or continue to joke?

"I only listen to the truth, if you fight with me again, you are not the only one who wants to marry Lu Mengrao."

He could see through his thoughts at a glance. The main reason was that he never thought of hiding it. Pei Yuanlie pretended to be an angry threat. One or two were like this, and he was tired!

"Okay, but your majesty, you have to promise me that you must not let my father and the king know about our conversation today."

Sighing helplessly, Xia Moyan finally got a little serious, and Pei Yuanlie raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Who doesn't want to make their parents proud, he is too maverick, isn't he?It was hard work for the county king and his wife to have such a son.

"because……"

Opening his mouth, Xia Moyan seemed to have made a lot of determination, and looked back and forth at Pei Yuanlie and Pei Yuanfeng: "Your Majesty, please retreat to the left and right first."

"..."

A weak soul!They pricked up their ears and waited for a long time, just waiting for such a sentence?

The corner of Pei Yuanlie's mouth twitched, feeling the urge to slap him twice, but seeing his serious expression, he patiently waved away the serving eunuchs.
