Lord of Fortune

"I know, but I'm still sad..." Ding Wanyan's voice was very low.

Han Mengqin reached out and took her into his arms, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her: "It's okay, if you're really sad, just cry, and forget about it after crying, okay ?"

Ding Wanyan nodded vigorously.Soon, Han Mengqin felt her shoulders were wet by Ding Wanyan's hot tears.

After a while, Ding Wanyan finally raised his head and wiped his eyes embarrassingly: "You have been so busy lately, cousin, and I want you to worry about my affairs. I am ashamed. Obviously I am the cousin, but sometimes I feel that in front of you, I am always taken care of by you like a younger sister."

"Cousin, you are not a few months older than me. If you are willing to be my younger sister, there is no problem at all. Speaking of it, this happened because of something happened to Auntie in the palace. Cousin, don't blame me and Auntie. You'll be fine if your mother is tired."

"No, why would I think so? My family, what are you talking about? Our family was in such a bad situation at the beginning. If it hadn't been for the help of the Queen's aunt, our family would not be where it is today. Speaking of which, Ren The Ren family is willing to marry our family, isn't it because of the Queen's Aunt? At the beginning, the Queen's Aunt was so favored, and the Ren family didn't mention how enthusiastic they were for our family, but now when something happens to the Queen's Aunt, they... don't mind mentioning it."

Ding Wanyan said coldly: "Since ancient times, it is easy to add flowers to the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow. This marriage with the Ren family is called off... that's fine."

She had a lot of scruples about this marriage, but now that she has retired, apart from being sad, she also feels relieved.

In order not to let Ding Wanyan indulge in this matter, Han Mengqin brought Ding Wanyan with him in everything recently.Recently, she is running around for Queen Ding's affairs.

Ding Wanyan has a deep affection for this aunt of the queen, so she is naturally willing to do her part, even if what she can do is only some insignificant things.Following Han Mengqin's side, Ding Wanyan also met many noble ladies, and those noble ladies admired her temperament of emphasizing love and righteousness, and Ding Wanyan also made friends with these noble ladies.Ding Wanyan, who got busy, finally forgot about the young master of the Ren family.

However, one day, on the way Han Mengqin and Ding Wanyan returned to Ding's house from Tong'an Princess Chang's mansion, Ding Wanyan met her former fiancé.

The young master of the Ren family was dressed in a green shirt, holding a folding fan, and he still looked like a Pianpianjia son, with a fair face, and anyone who saw him would have a good impression of him, but Ding Wanyan said coldly: "What else are you here for? "

She admits that she is not that strong, at least for now, she has no way to see this man without changing her face.

No matter what this man is here for, Ding Wanyan doesn't want to see him.

The young master of the Ren family showed a struggling look in his eyes: "I think, I still owe you an apology."

Han Mengqin patted Ding Wanyan's shoulder lightly, and stepped forward to protect Ding Wanyan behind him.She knows that her cousin is gentle and doesn't easily blush with others, but now she has expressed her attitude towards a person with such a cold face: "Master Ren, now you and my cousin have divorced, and my cousin has nothing to do with you anymore Please don't come to her again. You are not afraid of being gossiped, but my cousin is also afraid of being gossiped! Your apology is too cheap, my cousin doesn't need it!"

The young master of the Ren family frowned and looked at Han Mengqin: "Do you have to be so mean? It was my uncle's decision to break off the engagement with the Ding family. I have tried my best, but I can't stop it... People who have been engaged, even if they can't become husband and wife in the future, they can still be friends, right?"

Han Mengqin was almost laughed at by the thick-skinned young master of the Ren family: "According to you, this matter is all your uncle's fault, and you are innocent too? Your uncle is not your father, but if you are more stubborn It is not difficult to refuse his request, right? I have only heard that a father can control his son, but I have never heard of an uncle who can reach out to his nephew's house!"

The young master of the Ren family said: "What do you know? My uncle is the patriarch of the Ren family. Since my father passed away, if the uncle's family hadn't helped us from time to time, we orphans and widows would have been bullied to death. Order, I naturally cannot disobey..."

"To put it bluntly, you just didn't take it seriously. You think that if you marry my cousin, you will lose your uncle's support in the family in the future, so you gave up my cousin for the sake of profit. If you are determined not to dissolve the engagement, it's hard to be your uncle. Can you still put a knife on your neck to force you to fail? Since you are going to do something treacherous, don't be afraid of being reprimanded!"

"Besides, your family still claims that the marriage contract was terminated because of my cousin's indiscretions. The wicked will sue first! Don't shamelessly say that you can be friends if you can't be a husband and wife. My cousin doesn't have you. Such a low-quality friend!"

"In the future, if you come to pester my cousin again, I will publicize that the Ren family is dependent on my Ding family and insists on serving my aunt. You can try it and see how your uncle will react when he hears the news!"

Han Mengqin's words were like the sharpest knife, cutting through layers of cover of the young master of the Ren family.

Young Master Ren's face turned blue and pale when he heard this, and he couldn't say anything to refute.It has to be said that Han Mengqin threatened the point. Since the young master of the Ren family gave up the marriage because he was afraid of losing his uncle's support, how could he be willing to be thought of by outsiders as being entangled with the Ding family after the engagement was terminated? Unclear?If his uncle knew, he might reprimand him later.

Han Mengqin was quite satisfied with calming down the young master of the Ren family with a few words, but at the same time felt worthless for Ding Wanyan.Her cousin is such a nice person, why did she marry such a scum before?Although the two have broken off their engagement now, the woman will suffer some losses in terms of reputation, even if it is the man's fault.

After saying these words, Han Mengqin took Ding Wanyan and left.Ding Wanyan pulled Han Mengqin's sleeve until he arrived at the door of Ding's house, and said, "Thank you, I have never felt as happy as today."

Han Mengqin patted Ding Wanyan's hand: "Everything is over, cousin just look forward."

Han Mengqin knew that although Ding Wanyan didn't say anything during this time, she was still depressed because of the Ren family's resignation and slandering her, and she had nowhere to vent. Now, Han Mengqin severely reprimanded Ding Wanyan for being irresponsible Ding Wanyan's fiancé had a meal, and fought for Ding Wanyan in front of the young master of the Ren family, and the depression in Ding Wanyan's heart naturally completely dissipated.

Chu Chen was worried about Han Mengqin's situation, so whenever he had time these days, he would go to Ding's house and bring Han Mengqin all kinds of little things to comfort her.At the same time, he is also actively looking for someone to speak for Queen Ding.

It's a pity that although he has a high status, he doesn't have a deep foundation in the capital. There are very few people who can really help him and are willing to help him.He begged to come to his door, and some people even advised him not to waste any more effort, and the most important thing was to find a way to get himself out first.

"Don't be stupid, how many concubines who have been associated with witch-gu since ancient times can die well? Instead of trying your best to win the queen, you might as well quickly find a way to break the engagement with Princess Pingyang. Although you are married to Princess Pingyang I'm engaged, but I haven't married yet. Think of a way, this marriage can always be resolved. You are young and have a good career, and you don't want to lose your career or even your life in the future, right?"

"My family has a daughter who is about the same age as you. If you are willing to draw a line with Princess Pingyang and Queen Ding and marry my daughter, I am willing to help you."

After hearing this, Chu Chen turned around and left, and stopped chatting with these people.

Some people are wise and unwilling to help him, he can understand, but for those who expect him to repent and marry someone else, he has made up his mind not to associate with them.

These people only saw that he had a good future and wanted to cut him off from Han Mengqin, but why didn't they think about it, if he, Chu Chen, was the kind of person who would make trouble when he saw the Yue family's situation was not good, how could he treat Han Mengqin and Han Mengqin today? Empress Ding is not benevolent, tomorrow he can also be unrighteous to others!

He, Chu Chen, would never be such a person.

In order to help Empress Ding and Han Mengqin's mother and daughter, these days, Chu Chen gave up his face and begged many people. Although there were very few people who answered his request, there were still a few.This made Chu Chen quite gratified.He decided to list these helpers as the key contacts in the future.

When Han Mengqin came to find Chu Chen, Chu Chen was still running about about Empress Ding and was not in the mansion.

Chu Chen had already issued an order in the mansion, if Han Mengqin came to the mansion, just do as she pleases.The housekeeper also knew that Han Mengqin was his future wife, so when Han Mengqin came to find Chu Chen, he told Han Mengqin about Chu Chen's going out, and took Han Mengqin to the hall to serve him attentively. .

"Princess, Lord Hou may not come back for a while, you might as well wait for him with some snacks."

The tea and snacks served by the butler are Han Mengqin's favorites, and every time she comes to the door, the tea and snacks are definitely not the same.

Han Mengqin finished eating a piece of jujube cake and said, "You guys are interested."

The housekeeper smiled slightly: "Master Hou once told you that if you can't serve him well, maybe it doesn't matter, but if you can't serve you well, he will definitely be held accountable. In our house, you belong to the princess. Your wish is the greatest. No more No one dares to treat you wholeheartedly."

The housekeeper spared no effort to win favor for his master in front of the future mistress.

Over the past few days, the housekeeper has seen how much Chu Chen has done for Han Mengqin.Chu Chen is not a person who likes to make public, so naturally he would not take the initiative to mention these things to Han Mengqin, but the housekeeper did not want Han Mengqin to be kept in the dark.

How could Han Mengqin not be aware of this kind of thing that can increase the relationship between the two parties?

Sure enough, after hearing what the housekeeper said, Han Mengqin's heart warmed up.In any case, she still has Chu Chen, and Chu Chen always puts her on top of her heart... Every time when she is tired, thinking about Chu Chen, life seems not so sad.

Fortunately, in her most difficult days, Chu Chen was always by her side.

"Your Marquis, do you often go out recently?"

The housekeeper took a careful look at Han Mengqin: "Yes, Lord Hou has been visiting almost every day recently."

Han Mengqin's hand holding the pastry suddenly stopped, his fingers trembling violently.

She knows that Chu Chen is not a person who likes to socialize and socialize, and he spends at least one or two days in the middle of the week to visit others.But now, the housekeeper said that he has been going out almost every day recently...Han Mengqin almost didn't need to ask, and he knew that Chu Chen must be running around for Queen Ding's affairs.

As long as he thought of such an arrogant Chu Chen begging for help every day in a low voice, Han Mengqin felt very uncomfortable.

Coincidentally, Chu Chen came back at this time.

He walked into the door of his house in a hurry, with tiredness that could not be concealed on his face.

Then, as soon as Chu Chen raised his head, he bumped into Han Mengqin's eyes, and his eyes met.The tired expression on his face dissipated quickly, and slowly turned into a light smile: "Qinqin, you are here. Sorry, I'm busy with business today, and I discussed with my colleagues for a while, didn't I keep you waiting for too long?"

"You don't need to hide it from me, Brother Chen. It's not a time of war. What can make you so busy?" Han Mengqin's voice was a little dry: "Are you running around for my mother's business?"

Chu Chen is always like this, doing many things for Han Mengqin openly and secretly, but rarely telling her.If it wasn't for Han Mengqin's keen observation skills and the hints from people around Chu Chen, she might really miss these details.

Chu Chen knew that Han Mengqin was smart, and he didn't expect to hide the things he did from Han Mengqin.In other words, he never intentionally hid anything from Han Mengqin. He just didn't take the initiative to tell Han Mengqin about some things.There are some things that he thinks he should do, and deliberately tell Han Mengqin, as if he is asking for credit.

"How can it be said that I am running around for 'your aunt'? I am obviously doing my best for my mother-in-law." Chu Chen blinked innocently: "Besides, the Queen's business is a business matter. I said I am There is nothing wrong with running around on official business. If this matter is not handled properly, it will affect the stability of the court."

"Don't worry, Qinqin, although there are many people watching the fire from the other side, many people recognize the queen's virtue. Therefore, there are still quite a few people who are willing to speak for the queen. The queen will never be alone. We Your efforts will not be in vain.”

Chu Chen held Han Mengqin's hand, as if he wanted to use this action to transmit some kind of power to her.

Han Mengqin lowered his eyes, and after a long while, he said "Yes": "I know. I came to you today, not for this matter, I just came to care about you - I heard from the housekeeper that you caught a cold yesterday , When I woke up this morning, I felt a little unwell? Since that’s the case, it’s not easy for you to rest. "

Chu Chen gave the housekeeper a hard look: "It's just a little fever, it's not a problem."

The butler really didn't know how to measure, why did he tell Han Mengqin everything, which made Han Mengqin worry for nothing.

"Okay, don't be mean to the housekeeper. As long as you take good care of your body on weekdays, the housekeeper won't ask me for help."

As Han Mengqin said, she put her hand on Chu Chen's forehead, and then, her eyebrows frowned slightly: "Sure enough, I have a fever. Since I'm sick, I should take care of myself at home. Why are you running around? "

As she said that, she ordered the servants of the mansion to invite the doctor, ordered the people to take down the prepared food, and ordered the cook to make a new list of food and bring it up.

After doing all this, Han Mengqin said to Chu Chen without a doubt: "Now, Brother Chen, let's go to Haosheng to have a rest."

Chu Chen said with a bitter face: "It's not going to be such a big battle, is it? I just caught a little cold. It's good to rest for a night today. Maybe it will be fine when I get up early tomorrow morning."

"The doctor has the final say on what to do, not you, brother Chen. For the past few days, you can just live in the mansion to recuperate. Before you fully recover, you are not allowed to go to other people's homes every day. "

Normally, Han Mengqin rarely spoke in such a tone in front of Chu Chen.

As long as Chu Chen lowered his body a little bit - Duan coaxed and said a few soft words, Han Mengqin's heart would probably soften.

But once it comes to Chu Chen's health, Han Mengqin will become very domineering.Chu Chen is also very useful for this dominance.Because he knew that this was Han Mengqin's concern for him.

It's just that he really doesn't want to drink porridge... Thinking of what he ate when he was injured, Chu Chen had a bitter face.

If he had known that Han Mengqin was coming today, he would not have gone out.If you don't go out, maybe the heat has subsided by now.

Soon, Chu Chen seemed to have returned to the days when he was taken care of like a porcelain doll.

After checking Chu Chen's pulse, the doctor prescribed a medicine for him.Han Mengqin personally watched the people grab and decoct the medicine for him, and then watched him drink the medicine, and then directly stuffed him into the quilt, and even tucked the corner of the quilt for him.

Chu Chen: "...Qinqin, I just have a little fever, there is no need for this."

Finally Han Mengqin came to his house, but he couldn't get close to Han Mengqin, he could only lie on the bed and watch Han Mengqin take care of him, this kind of situation is really heartbreaking.

"If you are sick, you should take a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow. If you are still not well, you can continue to take medicine and drink porridge."

"I will be fine tomorrow, my health has always been good."

"You can't spoil your own body wantonly just because of your good health." Han Mengqin looked at Chu Chen and said seriously: "You go out sick and beg for my mother like this, to be honest , I feel very sad. A Niang is very important to me, but you are also very important. I don't want any accidents to happen to any of you. "

"Okay, I'll listen to you. For the next two days, I will have a good rest in the mansion." Facing Han Mengqin's serious and earnest eyes, Chu Chen couldn't refuse no matter what.

Hearing this, Han Mengqin showed a satisfied smile.She was about to say that she would come to see Chu Chen tomorrow, but was stopped by Chu Chen: "Can you get closer, I also have something to tell you."

She did as she said, and then, a kiss fell on her cheek.

Chu Chen showed her a smug and sly smile: "I did as you said, and I want to reward."

Han Mengqin: "..."

It's not a child, what reward do you want!

"After you go back, take a good rest, Qinqin." Chu Chen looked at Han Mengqin with pity: "Don't push yourself too hard. I heard that you haven't had a good rest these days. You always sleep at night. I was awakened by a nightmare. I have some calming tea here, you can take it home and drink it." After a pause, he said again: "If the Empress knows that you don't care about your body so much, she will be very anxious. You don't want her In addition to defending yourself, you are also distracted because of you?"

Hearing the words, Han Mengqin finally raised her eyes to look at Chu Chen, and said hesitantly, "You mean, Aniang still has room to defend herself in front of her father?"

"That's natural. The emperor's trust in the empress will only be deeper than you and I imagined. If the emperor doesn't trust the empress, he will not make you the royal princess, although the cause of this matter is that you work in a state-owned enterprise. , He wanted to praise you, but after you became Princess Pingyang, the power of the Queen's line has grown, which is an undeniable fact."

"If the emperor doesn't trust the queen mother, I'm afraid that the queen mother will be convicted as soon as the news about the queen's murder of the queen mother and the witch-gu has just spread, instead of delaying the judgment like now. This shows that , the emperor also believes in the empress in his heart, he is looking for evidence to prove the innocence of the empress. As long as the Sacred Heart is still there, the empress will probably be fine, so... don't worry, Qinqin."

Although Han Mengqin knew that Chu Chen said such words mostly to ease her heart, she had to admit that she was indeed comforted.

On this day, she finally had a peaceful sleep.

At the same time, in the palace, an undercurrent surged.

Yao Huang said to Empress Ding: "Empress, I heard that Concubine Zhang Xian's natal family has been jumping up and down recently, putting pressure on the emperor, hoping to convict you as soon as possible."

"Let her go." A murderous intent flashed in Empress Ding's eyes: "I'm afraid she didn't know that as early as the moment she made a move, we specially transferred the people left by the emperor in our palace to watch her. People. From the beginning, all her actions have fallen into the eyes of the emperor. Once the witch-gu comes out, some people will definitely be unlucky, but the unlucky one in the end is definitely not Bengong!"

"As for the Empress Dowager—although her method of framing Ben Gong is more clever than that of Concubine Zhang Xian, and people can't find out the clues, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something strange about the Empress Dowager suddenly calling Ben Gong to serve the sick. place."

Over the years, Empress Ding has been subtly deepening Emperor Chongde's trust in her, and the effect is very remarkable.

Now the more the Zhang family forces Emperor Chongde to deal with Queen Ding, the worse the Zhang family will fall afterwards.

Empress Ding seemed gentle and never took the initiative to attack other concubines, but she was able to live peacefully in the harem for so many years, she had some means.Whoever dares to attack her, she will never spare him lightly.

Sure enough, when the members of the Zhang family proposed to abolish Emperor Chongde at the court meeting again, he finally angered Emperor Chongde: "In my opinion, there are indeed some people who should be abolished, but it is not the empress who should be abolished, but the virtuous one." concubine!"

"When the empress was just conferred, I was worried that the empress would not be able to handle the affairs of the palace, so I specially appointed a nanny to assist the empress. Unexpectedly, the nanny was trusted by the empress and helped the empress to deal with many things. Always by the Queen's side."

"Maybe Concubine Zhang Xian thinks that she is doing it unaware of the witch-gu, but unfortunately you don't know it. Your Zhang family's little tricks have been exposed to the eyes of the mother from the very beginning. Your Zhang family, you still don't know." Someone asked me to abolish the Empress?"

"Come here, let me pass on my will. The virtuous concubine Zhang is jealous, framed the queen, abolished her status, and thrown into the cold palace. The prince under her name will be raised by concubine Cheng, and the princess will be raised by concubine Shen!"

"The Zhang family has formed a clique for private interests, has failed my expectations, and helped the concubine to frame the queen. All the officials in the Zhang family's family will be dismissed and will not be hired again!"

The author has something to say:

The countdown is over, and it's a bit stuck again, hey
