Lord of Fortune

When Han Mengqin was talking to Empress Ding and her daughter, Emperor Chongde also told Chu Chen a lot of precautions, such as the husband and wife should live a good life and cherish the love between each other.

"The empress only has one daughter, and she treats her as a treasure, and I also regard Qin'er as my own daughter. If you treat Qin'er badly, I will not spare you lightly." Emperor Chongde said half-jokingly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, what I said when I asked you to marry me came from the bottom of my heart. If I can get Qinqin as my wife, I will definitely treat her like an eyeball, and grow old with her forever, and I will never accept anything else." Chu Chen Solemnly.

Emperor Chongde nodded in satisfaction. In fact, he did not doubt Chu Chen's intentions for Han Mengqin, but he knew to some extent the bad nature of men. If he got it easily, he would inevitably be contemptuous. Chen called into the palace to beat one or two.

As for Chu Chen, after entering the palace today to meet Emperor Chongde, he was finally able to confirm that Emperor Chongde had feelings for Empress Ding.

He originally thought that Emperor Chongde's appointment of Empress Ding as his queen was purely to pave the way for the crown prince.Empress Ding was favored like the other concubines in the harem. At most, because of her status as the main wife, Emperor Chongde respected her a little more.

But today, Emperor Chongde looked subconsciously at Empress Ding, and the affection was unmistakable.Just now when Emperor Chongde asked him to treat Han Mengqin well, he also emphasized the importance of Han Mengqin to Queen Ding.If Emperor Chongde didn't attach importance to Empress Ding, how could he also attach importance to the people she valued?

Although it is true that Han Mengqin's own talent is rare among women, there are not no noble girls with talents in the clan, and there are very few who can get such a strong family like Han Mengqin.

Emperor Chongde regarded Empress Ding as his wife, but in Empress Ding's heart, Emperor Chongde was the emperor first, then her husband and the father of her son.After experiencing a failed marriage, Queen Ding's trust in feelings is very limited.What's more, Queen Ding's current position is doomed that she can only advance but not retreat, and she will not let her emotions go.

Regarding this, Chu Chen didn't know what to say. He could not intervene in the affairs between the emperor and empress.However, Emperor Chongde valued Empress Ding, which was always a good thing for those who paid for the crown prince.

In the following process, Chu Chen became more and more sure of this.

"I put you in the Ministry of War as a servant under Wang Shangshu. Are you worried? Wang Shangshu is the father of Concubine Wang Shu, and he loves this daughter the most. If you join the Ministry of War, he will not do you any favors." complexion."

Chu Chen said without hesitation: "Since His Majesty is not worried, why should I be worried?"

It's just an old official who is about to retire. Even if he is majestic now, how long can he be majestic?Chu Chen could tell that Emperor Chongde put him in the Ministry of War to replace Wang Shangshu after Wang Shangshu retired.It is Wang Shangshu who should be anxious, not him.As long as he can hold his breath, he will be invincible.

Emperor Chongde patted Cai Chuchen's shoulder, and his eyes showed relief.Sure enough, he did not misunderstand the person, this son can be of great use.

Even if he is not Han Mengqin's husband-in-law, such a young talent has no background, Emperor Chongde will let him work for the prince he personally chooses.Now, he is married to the prince's sister, and the relationship is harmonious, which is even better. Don't worry about him not doing his best for the prince.

Emperor Chongde told Chu Chen many things before letting him go.

Just when Chu Chen and Han Mengqin met and were about to leave the palace, a eunuch from Shoukang Palace suddenly found them: "The princess, the county horse, the empress dowager is not feeling well, and I want to take advantage of the joy of the two newlyweds. Please go to Shoukang Palace to take care of the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager can get better, it will be due to both of you." He deliberately paused, and then said meaningfully: "You two are so 'filial', I don't think so. Are you rejecting the Queen Mother's request?"

Both Chu Chen and Han Mengqin were secretly wary of these confusing words.

Naturally, they knew that the Queen Mother was in poor health, otherwise, they wouldn't have deliberately advanced the wedding for several months after the Queen Mother almost passed away.Obviously, they didn't want to be filial piety for the queen mother.

Ever since it was revealed that the Empress Dowager allowed Concubine Li to harm the prince and daughter, Emperor Chongde had only had face for the Empress Dowager. Later, in order to frame Empress Ding, the Empress Dowager did not hesitate to poison herself. There is no more face.Therefore, Emperor Chongde acquiesced to Han Mengqin and Chu Chen's actions, and even, in order not to let others criticize them, even took the initiative to spread the news that they got married early to cheer for the Queen Mother.

As soon as the news came out, no matter whether others believed it or not, they would praise Han Mengqin and Chu Chen for their filial piety.

But who would have thought that today, the eunuchs of the Shoukang Palace actually asked them to go to the Shoukang Palace to serve the sick on this ground...

Han Mengqin will not underestimate the queen mother just because she is lingering and sick.

The Empress Dowager's body is exhausted, and no one knows that she will be gone one day.If they had just entered the front foot and served the queen mother ill, the back foot would be bad for the queen mother, even if they had a thousand mouths, they would not be able to tell.

However, it would be extremely inappropriate to directly reject the person sent by the Queen Mother just like this.

In a short period of time, Han Mengqin had many thoughts in his mind.

"Why, the princess and the county horse don't want to?" The eunuch of Shoukang Palace looked at Han Mengqin with mocking eyes, and as for Chu Chen, he didn't even give him a look.

It is true that Han Mengqin is the princess of Pingyang, but Chu Chen is also the Marquis of Wu'an who was appointed by Emperor Chongde, and is the third-rank minister of the military department.The eunuch of Shoukang Palace deliberately called him a county horse, as if he was Han Mengqin's vassal, and treated him very contemptuously. If it was an ordinary man, he would have been annoyed.Chu Chen looked at the eunuch as if he was watching a clown acting, which made him feel like he was being underestimated.

The eunuch hadn't realized yet that he, who planned to anger Chu Chen, was actually angered by Chu Chen instead.He was about to lose his temper when Han Mengqin said, "Of course not. As the righteous daughter of my father, the empress dowager is also my imperial grandmother. It is my blessing to be able to serve the imperial grandmother." It’s just that I suddenly remembered one thing—”

"I'm just a righteous daughter, and even if I'm going to Shoukang Palace to serve the emperor's grandmother, as the granddaughter of the emperor's grandmother, the princesses and sisters must not fall behind us. Otherwise, the sisters will be criticized by others." , but it became our fault.”

As he said that, he sent someone to ask the empress for instructions, and then went to invite the princess who was waiting to marry in the palace, and the married princess and their son-in-law outside the palace, without giving the eunuch a chance to speak.

This couple, one by one, is less face-saving than the other, and they don't play their cards according to common sense.

The eunuch expected that Han Mengqin could not refuse this request in public, but how could he have expected that Han Mengqin would find such an excuse to delay the time?At that moment, the eunuch's palms were sweating.The master has just taken the medicine, if the time is delayed, the master's plan will be...

Fortunately, at this time, the three princesses arrived.

The expression of the three princesses is a bit tangled. She and Han Mengqin have a narrow road, and when they see Han Mengqin, they are naturally quite disgusted. However, this disgust is mixed with a strange joy. This kind of abnormality makes Han Mengqin not vigilant are difficult.

"Let's go, Han...cough, Sister Pingyang." She was about to hold Han Mengqin's hand when she came up, but Han Mengqin avoided her. Waiting on grandma, after a while, the sisters must be here."

The Empress Dowager has already run out of fuel, and now she is only hanging her life with ginseng, the best tonic and the secret recipe of the imperial physician.

As long as Han Mengqin "disobeys" the queen mother a little, the queen mother will be "pissed off".

The third princess has already made up her mind to be a witness to witness how Han Mengqin pissed off the Queen Mother.But what qualifications does a prisoner's daughter have to be favored by her father, and to be on an equal footing with them!

After a brief exchange with the eunuch of the Shoukang Palace, the maid next to the third princess whispered something into the third princess's ear. The third princess' eyes became brighter and brighter, and she looked at Han Mengqin full of malice.

"Invite all the older princesses? That's just right, more people will witness Han Mengqin's crimes, even the emperor father can no longer protect her!"

The third princess, who was secretly complacent, didn't notice, while Chu Chen looked at her with cold and piercing eyes.

If eyes could kill, she would have been killed thousands of times already.

As soon as Han Mengqin and his party arrived at Shoukang Palace, they smelled a strong smell of medicine. The queen mother was lying on the bed, pale and skinny.If it weren't for the weak breathing in her chest, it would make people doubt whether she is no longer alive.

"Empress Dowager, open your eyes and take a look. The third princess and Princess Pingyang are coming to see you. After a while, all the princesses will be here. Please open your eyes and take a look!" The name followed Han Meng The eunuch who came back with Qin and others cried with snot and tears, so sad.

The third princess glanced at Han Mengqin and said loudly: "Yes, the imperial grandmother, granddaughter and Han Mengqin are here to see you, please open your eyes and see!"

I don't know if I heard it, but the Queen Mother finally opened her eyes.She looked around, then stretched out her hand in the direction where Han Mengqin and the third princess were: "Come here!"

The third princess was about to push Han Mengqin to the Queen Mother without hesitation, but unexpectedly, a pair of steel-like hands stretched out beside her, wrapping Han Mengqin's waist tightly.On the contrary, it was herself who was pushed so hard that she almost fell in front of the Queen Mother's bed.

The Empress Dowager, who was as emaciated as a breathing dead person on the hospital bed, got the strength from nowhere and grabbed the hand of the third princess.

The third princess was startled and hurt, and said in horror: "Grandmother, open your eyes and take a closer look. I am your granddaughter, not the Han Mengqin you hate the most!"

She wanted to use this to gain a chance to breathe, but she didn't know that her own words stimulated the Queen Mother instead.

The queen mother's hand pinched the third princess's hand even tighter, and the nails sank deep into the flesh.

"Grand...granddaughter? The Ai family has no granddaughters, only one grandson! Only Li'er is the grandson of the Ai family's blood. You are just the daughters of that... ruthless emperor!"

As the queen mother spoke, she was panting heavily, her red eyes seemed to tear up and eat the three princesses in front of her.

In the beginning, she was really planning to use herself as bait to let Han Mengqin step into the net.

However, looking at Chu Chen standing aside, who was full of guard against her, and Han Mengqin standing next to Chu Chen, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, the queen mother knew that her plan could not be realized.They've seen it all.

The only thing the queen mother can catch is the three princesses.She was about to die, and she naturally hoped that someone could accompany her rather than going on the road alone!Although the queen mother hated Han Mengqin, she didn't have the slightest affection for the third princess.The third princess clearly hoped that she would die so that Han Mengqin could be buried with her.She can bet on her own health and even her life, but she will never allow others to calculate her like this!

The third princess felt the increasing strength coming from her hands, and finally panicked.She was desperately afraid to slap the Queen Mother's hand: "Let go of me, let me go quickly, you old godmother—"

"Third Sister, what are you doing?" The Eldest Princess and the Second Princess had just arrived.

At this time, they were standing at the door of the Queen Mother's bedroom, looking at the third princess with a ferocious face like a ghost in astonishment...
