Chapter 4: Past Events

"Brother, let's sit here. We can see the beauties on the street clearly from here. Let's drink and watch the beauties, hehe."

"Haha, of course, I want to drink wine and watch beautiful women. But this conference is organized by your sister, why don't you go and see it?" "Tch!"

Meng Ruolang curled her lips, "What's there to see? They're all sour scholars. Every year, they are the same bunch of sour scholars who recite poems and compose poems to attract attention. It's very boring. How can it be interesting to watch beauties drinking wine?!"

"Oh, that's it. It's really not interesting to hear what you say. Brother, it's my first time to participate. I still want to see what Zhang Zhang has experienced. I don't know if I can see what's going on inside."

"Oh, that's okay. Let's go sit over there and I'll chase those people away. The view there is the best. You can watch the conference and the beauties, hehe." With that, Meng Ruolang walked over and chased the people away.

, Bi Yuntao also walked over and saw several poor scholars who dared to be angry but dared not speak out, so they left angrily.

Bi Yuntao couldn't help but shook his head. Sure enough, I can't blame the two of us for being able to work together. We really have the same affinity.

As soon as the two of them took their seats, Meng Ruolang called for the servants, served food and drinks, and the cheap guy started chatting.

"The Emperor is planning to promote Concubine Shu to a noble concubine. Brother, have you heard about it?!"

"Oh? I really don't know. I don't pay much attention to these things." Bi Yuntao and the two of them had a drink and said, "You can tell the elder brother about it in detail."

"Ahem!" Meng Ruolang stood up on the spot, cleared his throat, and said with an inscrutable expression: "Hasn't the Khitan been harassing the border of our country in the past few years? The Holy Emperor has sent the second prince to guard the border between the two countries. You

Do you know?"

"Know."

Bi Yuntao saw that Meng Ruolang was deliberately asking someone to pick a fight, and he immediately followed his wishes and started talking to him. Meng Ruolang saw that his elder brother was so cooperative with him, then he raised his eyebrows at the elder brother and continued.

"Four months ago, the Khitan sent troops to harass again. The second prince sent troops to fight. The Khitan was defeated and fled. Then the second prince took advantage of the victory and pursued it, conquering a city and achieving great success. After the emperor heard the news, Long Yan was very happy. He heard that his condition had also improved a little.

Things are getting better. After the second prince returned to the court, the Holy Emperor asked the Second Prince what reward he wanted. The Second Prince immediately made this request, and the Holy Emperor agreed. It is estimated that the imperial edict will be handed down on the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow." After saying that, Meng Ruolang arrived for himself.

A bowl of wine was poured down.

"Oh? There's another thing, I'm just talking about the imperial concubine. I heard someone say that the mother-in-law was promoted to the imperial concubine by the emperor after giving birth to me. Why did Concubine Shu and Concubine Yue give birth to the emperor?

Prince, or just a concubine? I remember that the imperial concubine's position is vacant! Now Concubine Shu will be promoted to a noble concubine soon, so do you think the emperor's position is equal to that of Concubine Yue, will she be promoted to an imperial concubine?" Bi Yuntao fell for him.

After a bowl of wine, I took the opportunity to throw out my questions to him.

"You don't know?!" Hearing this, Meng Ruolang was stunned and looked at Bi Yuntao strangely.

"? Do I have to know?" Bi Yuntao was confused, "You weren't really beaten stupid, were you?" Meng Ruolang reached out to touch Bi Yuntao's head, but Bi Yuntao hurriedly blocked her.

"Stop it, you were just beaten stupidly. I don't have the energy to pay attention to these things. How can these things be fun like teasing a beautiful woman?!"

Meng Ruolang looked at Bi Yuntao's disgusted face, smiled, and said: "Indeed, teasing beauties is the most interesting. If you can trick a beauty into sleeping with him again, hehehe."

Bi Yuntao looked at the lustful expression on his face, kicked him, and said impatiently: "Stop being so pretty, hurry up!"

"Let's just say it, brother, drink this bowl of wine first and keep up with the progress. I won't tell you if you quit."

Bi Yuntao drank the bowl of wine helplessly, then filled it up and looked at him expectantly.

"This is a long story. Before your mother-in-law entered the palace, Concubine Yue was the most favored. After she gave birth to the third prince, she was promoted to imperial concubine. Concubine Shu was always a concubine, even after giving birth to the third prince. The second prince was not promoted to concubine by the emperor, and no one knew why.

Just a few years later, the eldest brother and your mother and concubine entered the palace because of the marriage between the two countries. The emperor saw that she was very beautiful, and the eldest brother and your mother and concubine were very popular with the emperor. The emperor was so obsessed with it that he directly named her Concubine Xian. Originally, everything was going well, but..." After saying this, Meng Ruolang glanced at Bi Yuntao with the wine bowl in his hand. Seeing that there was no change in Bi Yuntao's face, he continued.

"But things in the world are unpredictable. Your concubine was pregnant with a child and gave birth to your eldest brother. The Holy Emperor was very happy to have another prince, so he wanted to give your concubine a reward. Then your concubine proposed to the emperor that she wanted to be promoted. It was your concubine’s request, but the emperor did not agree. After that, your mother-in-law mentioned it to the emperor several times, but the emperor just kept being vague and refused to agree."

"Hey! Here comes the point. Let's finish this bowl of wine. Prick up your ears and listen to me. I'll only say it once." Bi Yuntao was listening intently. When he heard this, he raised his eyebrows with a speechless expression. The wine bowls were touched against his, and the two of them drank the wine in one gulp.

Meng Ruolang wiped the corners of her mouth, took a few bites of side dishes, and continued talking while eating, but her voice became quieter, and Bi Yuntao had to move forward.

"Brother, please don't tell anyone what I'm going to say next. Let outsiders know. We both have to..." After saying that, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Of course I know how to measure. Just keep talking. If anything happens, I will take the responsibility myself." Bi Yuntao nodded solemnly.

"I heard from my father that when my eldest brother celebrates the full moon, the emperor will prepare a big banquet.

At that time, the Holy Emperor stayed at your mother's concubine almost every day. The other concubines rarely saw the Emperor, and even Concubine Yue hardly went there. This made Concubine Yue very jealous. It could be said that she was burning with jealousy. One day before the banquet, Concubine Yue went to Concubine Shu and stayed there for a long time. No one knew what they said.

On the day of the full moon banquet, all the civil and military officials came to congratulate you. Your mother-in-law came out with you in her arms to toast you with a few glasses of wine. However, you felt dizzy after just a few drinks, so she carried you back to your room. The concubine returned to the room and lay down on the bed to take a nap, and at this moment, a person came in." After saying this, he pointed to the empty wine bowl, and Bi Yuntao was also very kind and gave it to the two of them. After they filled it up one by one and drank it all in one go, he continued.

"The person who came in is a man! And he is not the emperor!"

Hearing this, Bi Yuntao's head exploded and he guessed what was going to happen next. Just when he was about to stop listening, he saw the meaningful expression on Meng Ruolang's face and chuckled. He guessed that there should be a twist and continued immediately. Holding him in his arms, he said with a smile: "What happened after that? I think this was a conspiracy by Concubine Yue."

"Whoa!" Meng Ruolang threw away the folding fan in his hand, "Of course!" Meng Ruolang said with a few triumphant fan blows on his face.

"When this man was about to do something inappropriate, your mother-in-law suddenly opened her eyes and captured this man. Before that, no one knew that your mother-in-law knew kung fu. After capturing the man, she asked her servants to

The emperor was summoned. When the emperor heard the whole story, Boyan was furious and asked the Ministry of Justice to interrogate him overnight.

I guess the elder brother also guessed what happened next. The man confessed Concubine Yue and Concubine Shu. Concubine Yue was the mastermind. Although Concubine Shu did not contribute, she was also an insider, so she was also implicated by Concubine Yue. Concubine Yue was the imperial concubine.

Demoted to the moon concubine, she can never be named a noble concubine. Originally, Concubine Shu also had to be punished. At this time, your mother-in-law revealed some secrets. It turned out that someone had drugged the cup in which your mother-in-law drank, but Shu

The concubine sent someone to report the news to your mother in advance. Your mother-in-law made arrangements in advance and changed the wine glasses in advance to avoid contamination. The emperor learned that it was Concubine Shu who helped report the message, and because he knew his mistakes and could correct them, there was no reward.

punishment.

And after what happened, the emperor loved your mother and concubine even more, and was named the imperial concubine when you were three years old." After that, the two of them clinked glasses and drank.

Bi Yuntao filled the wine bowl, hesitated for a while and asked: "Is the punishment of never being named a noble concubine a serious one?"

"Hiccup, good wine! Come here, bring me another jar of wine!" Meng Ruolang burped with a reddish face, wiped her mouth casually, and said: "Of course, the imperial concubine is on the same level as the left and right.

Hiccup! And the concubine has to salute the left and right prime minister when she sees her. In other words, the concubine Yue and I, the eldest son of the left prime minister, are equal, but because the royal family is in front, I must salute the concubine Yue. Hiccup! Let's continue.

drink."

After saying that, Meng Ruolang raised the remaining half of the jar of wine and started drinking. At this time, the servant also came up with a jar of wine and filled the two of them one by one. Bi Yuntao, who was deep in thought, did not notice that the servant was pouring wine for Meng Ruolang.

At that time, some white powder was quietly drawn in his hand. Meng Ruolang himself was a little drunk, and he was drinking half a jar of wine in the dark, so he naturally didn't pay attention to these small actions.

"I didn't expect that there would be such grudges between Concubine Mother and Concubine Yue. After listening to this, my guess was confirmed. The person who killed the first four princes was the third prince. Don't worry, fourth prince, you look the same as me. And

We have the same name, and since I borrowed your body to be reborn, I will help you take revenge."

Thinking of this, Bi Yuntao picked up the wine bowl and drank three large bowls in a row. Meng Ruolang saw Bi Yuntao drinking three large bowls and said "good" several times, and started drinking too.
