The Young Emperor and the Fearless

Two days before Meng Qing got married, at the urging of He Junzhi, she started to prepare some dowry gifts. She did it in a leisurely manner, but He Junzhi, who was watching from the side, was anxious to death.

In the end, He Junzhi couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "I'll do it."

After he took over, he almost transferred all the servants of the He family to arrange various matters intensively. One day later, the Meng family was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and finally looked festive.

In the middle, Heli came twice, but he had no way to get off, so he had to stand and look in, but he didn't see why he came, and left in a huff.

On the fourth day of the winter month, there was a moderate snowfall.The white snowflakes spread a shallow layer on the ground, and after a while, they turned into water and disappeared without a trace.

It was getting colder and colder, and people began to wrap themselves in thick cotton-padded jackets.The censer in Zhizhoufu's study was changed into a stove, which was specially used for people to keep warm.He Zhongzheng sighed that he was getting old, his hands and feet felt cold when standing far away, and he felt comfortable all over by leaning against the stove.

The day before Meng Qing got married, everyone gathered here to discuss the final arrangements.

As the only person who was married, He Zhongzheng talked about the general process and the most important three books and six rituals.

He Zhongzheng said: "Master Meng proposed marriage to Miss Tang, so you can save a few etiquettes, but there is nothing that should be missed. Both the letter of appointment and the letter of ceremony have been sent to Miss Tang's parents, and the letter of welcome from Mrs. Meng is also returned. I didn’t mention the pen, but I can add it later. Tomorrow the bridal sedan chair will welcome the bride, and Mr. Meng needs to leave the city at Yinshi, and return home before noon. Mr. Meng doesn’t have to worry about the banquet. With you and me, it will be settled properly.”

Tang Qingyue returned home five days ago, ready to get married. Her wedding dress was made by Meng Qing's own silk shop overnight. The day comes.

The welcoming team has already been found, and in a few hours, they will deliver the gift to Tang Qingyue's home together with Meng Qing.

Speaking of it, the matter of getting married is extremely cumbersome, and it takes a lot of effort to cover everything.Meng Qing also deliberately read a related book. She knew a lot of knowledge, but she couldn't start with it.

Meng Qing said: "Master He, I am very grateful for your help."

He Zhongzheng said: "Master Meng is out of touch."

Meng Qing's literary talents are outstanding, and it took only a moment to complete the letter of greeting.Although the content is ordinary, the words are true and can easily infect people.

He Zhong was staring at him writing until the last stroke was completed, nodded and said: "That's good."

So far, everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared.

In the end, there was only the most important thing left, and that was Meng Qing's relatives.When worshiping the hall, one needs to worship the ancestors and Gaotang, but Meng Qing has no relatives.

Meng Qing has never met his parents, and since he can remember, he has lived with an old man with a gray beard.The old man had rafters and tiles in his house, and a bed with candle boards, but he treated Meng Qing very well. As long as Meng Qing asked him, he would always satisfy it.

Meng Qing, who was a child, didn't know the identity of this old man. He was called the old man.Meng Qing knew that the old man was not his relative, but treated him as a relative.

The old man goes out early every day and comes back early to accompany Meng Qing and teach him to read and write.

Meng Qing always thought that the old man was just an ordinary old man. It wasn't until he was ten years old that the old man suddenly fell ill and more than a dozen people came from the court. Then he knew that the old man was a Hanlin scholar and the emperor's wife.

As soon as the old man fell ill, the first emperor ordered someone to take him to the palace.But the old man was worried about Meng Qing, so he let Meng Qing enter the palace with him.

During the old man's illness, Meng Qing was always by his side, and the old man intended to impart some knowledge to Meng Qing. Whatever he did, Meng Qing would follow suit.Meng Qing is clever and quick to learn.

The old man in his twilight years was very relieved. Once he casually asked Meng Qing if he would like to stay in the palace and work for the emperor.Meng Qing nodded without hesitation, because there was an old man by the emperor's side.

At that time, the old man secretly decided the way forward for Meng Qing.

The old man was old, and he passed away within half a year.

Before leaving, he recommended Meng Qing to the late emperor, and he didn't praise much, only saying that he is a talent worthy of reuse.

Thus, Meng Qing became the later prime minister.

Below one person, above ten thousand people.

In Meng Qing's heart, the old man was his closest relative, but the old man passed away early, and when he got married, he couldn't take a look in person.

He Junzhi said: "Brother Meng, we... are all your relatives."

It was only then that He Li felt that he could intervene, and said, "There's still me."

Meng Qing just sighed softly, then looked at the people in the room and wanted to laugh, he said: "I don't care, why do you bother?"

He Zhongzheng said: "Since this is the case, everything will continue as usual."

From now on, Tang Qingyue and her parents will be Meng Qing's relatives.

Meng Qing has been here for so many years, so she doesn't take it too seriously. The relationship between him and Tang Qingyue is neither light nor serious, but she is the girl who is most willing to get close to her when her heart is as calm as water.In the ordinary world, having this kind of emotional attachment is rare and precious.

And these people in front of them...

Since preparing for the marriage, the father and son of the He family have helped a lot, and Su Yu and Shiqi have also done their best. Meng Qing was naturally very moved, and said: "Junzhi is right, you have the heart, I will give you a lot of money." It will be etched in my heart forever.”

And He Li...

After leaving the study, Meng Qing went to his home with He Li.

The Meng family added a new chair to the bedroom today. It was painted red, but it was still rough.It was made by Heli for Meng Qing himself, because of the rush to work, and Heli's lack of craftsmanship and lack of fine workmanship.

Meng Qing readily accepted and moved directly to the bedroom.

Sitting on the chair he made himself, He Li felt his butt hurt. He got up and saw that there was a raised piece of wood in the middle of the chair that hadn't been knocked off.

He Li said in embarrassment: "Forget it, I'd better go buy one..."

Meng Qing said: "No need, just put a soft cushion on it."

In fact, if it was a gift, a chair would be too shabby, and He Li wanted to give him a big gift, but without thinking about it, Meng Qing would not want it.

Meng Qing said: "I never asked, why did you go south to find me?"

But He Li was thinking about the last sentence Meng Qing said in Zhizhou's study, he said: "Do you regard me as a relative?"

The family affection that blood is thicker than water is not the same as the passing gratitude, and it is not just caring.

He Li stared at Meng Qing intently, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

How could Meng Qing not know what he was thinking, and said bluntly: "Heli, my roots are not in the palace, nor in the capital, but in Lingyang. You are the emperor, and I was originally a subject. He's a grassroots."

He Li's eyes were red, and he said: "So, I want you to enter the palace again, will you agree?"

Meng Qing said: "Once I have made a choice, I will not change it."

He Li pursed his lips and turned his head to one side.

The so-called big gift was to invite Meng Qing into the palace, reinstate him as an official, and at the same time hold a grand wedding ceremony for him.However, Meng Qing was not happy about this.He chose to leave the court quietly back then. After careful consideration, he must have expected all kinds of consequences in the future.

Heli said, "Why?"

Meng Qing took two steps closer to Heli, and reached out to touch his head, just like how he coaxed the ignorant Heli many years ago.He said: "When I left, it was for myself. I entered the palace at the age of ten, and I have been in the palace for seventeen years. I have worked hard all day for the affairs of the court, and I am tired."

He Li sniffled and whispered, "You're lying."

Meng Qing smiled, and said again: "When I took care of you, I was just an ignorant boy. I have no parents, and I don't know how it feels to be loved by my parents. The emperor asked me to take care of you. Knowing this, I feel very conflicted in my heart. If it wasn't for keeping my title, I wouldn't want to force myself to do something I don't want..."

He Li raised his eyes, stared at Meng Qing fiercely, and said word by word: "You are lying."

Meng Qing didn't refute, and said with a relaxed expression, "In short, I won't go back."

Meng Qing is going to get married tomorrow, and at his age, other people already have wives and children, but he keeps procrastinating and refuses to get married.

why?Could it be that he has never met the person he likes and doesn't want to start a family?

Meng Qing left He Li angrily, looking at the festive red room, but felt melancholy in her heart.

He naturally likes Tang Qingyue, otherwise he would not want to join hands with her.

It's just that it's not the right time for peace.

If Heli came to Lingyang later, he would happily marry Tang Qingyue.But it happened that He Li appeared after he proposed marriage, reminding him of his past sins.

He Li set fire to the prince's mansion, killing eleven people, including the gentle and gentle princess. When Meng Qing was dealing with the prince's funeral, her heart was trembling all the time.

Is it right or wrong for him to help He Li so much?

He attributed all the responsibilities to himself, thinking that it was his own fault that caused the innocent deaths of all the people in the prince's mansion at that time.Moreover, unlike when he was fighting with He Yi, he didn't actually want He Yi to die. At that time, the court was in chaos, and all the plans he made left He Yi and the people in his house with a way out.

Even today, when He Yi died at the hands of He Li again, Meng Qing blamed herself even more.
