Chapter 108 Love on Ice Meets Yuji for the First Time
"Actually, as a woman, I don't want Yu Ling to get married from the bottom of my heart. It's not because I'm jealous, but I know that such a marriage with strong political overtones cannot be happy. She is so young and has to sacrifice her happiness for this.
, it’s such a pity.”
"Then you still agree?" Hongde Longqiu said in a cold tone.
"Because of my status as the imperial concubine." Meng Xinzhu sat on the Arhat bed, "Marriage is not a simple matter in the first place. You are all playing politics and you should know better than me. Besides, no matter whether I agree or not, you have nothing.
Good reason to say no.”
Hongde Longqiu looked at her, "Really?"
"Isn't it? Not to mention that Yu Ling lost the competition, just the fact that Ya Huang sent his favorite daughter to the Moon Kingdom for marriage shows that Ya attaches great importance to the Moon Emperor. If Yue refuses, for Ya
It's not just a simple matter of losing the wits contest. The shame of refusing to marry may lead to war between the two countries. Even if Asia is weaker than Yue now, it may not be able to defeat Yue in a real fight, but it will not be alone.
Does the country and Yue have enough energy to deal with the threats from several sides? Besides the rumors that Mr. Zhu and Concubine Zhu were killed not long ago, people who hope that the country of Yue will be unstable will be happy to see Yue and Ya break up, right?
?" Meng Xinzhu covered the hand warmer, "The emperor is a smart man, how could he make unwise choices?"
"Yu Ling may be Ya's spy, and he has a purpose in getting close to the emperor. It is not safe to let Yu Ling enter the palace."
"Hahaha, haven't you already said that knowing the enemy is the rule of the game? You are not afraid of those secret informants, but you are afraid of such obvious people?" Meng Xinzhu shook her head and sighed, "Since it is for the Moon Kingdom,
, marriage has become inevitable, it is better to go with the flow and happily agree to Yaguo to marry Yu Ling. As a member of the imperial family, this is also a fate that Yu Ling cannot escape. I am afraid she has already accepted it. Anyway, you already know her.
You have other purposes and must take precautions. This should not be the first time you have faced such a problem. You must have planned it for a long time. Besides, letting her become a channel for transmitting news is also a good thing for Yue. It is so rare.
This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss!”
Hongde Longhao looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "Hahaha, the emperor's sister-in-law really has the talent to help the country!"
Meng Xinzhu couldn't help being stunned, and turned around to see that Hongde Longqiu, who was originally cold and cold, had a smile on his face and was looking at him. "Oh, it seems that I will make mistakes again. Please, at least I can't
I am speaking to you sincerely, can you please stop playing dirty tricks on me?"
"Royal Sister-in-law, Queen Yue's position has always been empty. It's time for Kunyue Palace to welcome its master."
"Wrong!" Meng Xinzhu looked at Long Hao seriously, "If you make me your queen, the moon will be in chaos."
Hongde Longhao stopped smiling, "Why is the emperor's sister-in-law so unsure of herself?"
"This has nothing to do with self-confidence." Meng Xinzhu fiddled with the small ring on the hand warmer, "Although the emperor loves Concubine Yue, he handed over the control of the harem to Concubine Lin. This is a smart approach, not only to have a favorite woman, but also to
It can appease the power of the prime minister behind Concubine Lin. They restrict each other, so the layout in the palace is balanced."
"So you know everything."
Meng Xinzhu nodded, "The emperor is the highest symbol of power for men, and the queen position is the most respected position for women in the palace. The competition for these two positions is fierce, and it requires the baptism of blood to obtain. The reason why the emperor has never established a queen
, it means that the best candidate for this position has not yet appeared. Since it has not yet appeared, it is better to wait, and it is better to be short of money than to waste it!"
"Concubine Bamboo,..."
"The Bamboo Concubine is not a candidate, not in the past, not now, and may not be in the future. One reason is enough, because establishing the Bamboo Concubine as the queen is not conducive to the Moon Kingdom. The establishment of the Bamboo Concubine as the queen will definitely cause shock in the harem, and the original balance will be destroyed.
If it is completely broken, it will be like a stone thrown into a calm lake, which will cause waves." Meng Xinzhu stared at Hongde Longqiu, "Actually, in terms of virtue, Concubine Zhu is probably not as good as Concubine Lin, in terms of beauty, not as good as Concubine Yue, and in terms of virtuousness.
, compared to anyone in the harem. The Bamboo Concubine really has no ability to act as a queen. The reason why she is favored by the emperor is just because the Bamboo Concubine comes from a foreign land and has different ideas from here. People like new things, Bamboo Concubine
The appearance of the emperor just stimulated the emperor's desire to explore. The emperor once said that he wanted to become a successful emperor. So after judging the situation, he should not have such thoughts, unless the emperor wants Concubine Zhu to leave the palace again."
"Xinzhu!" "Huangsao!" The two brothers stood up at the same time.
Hongde Longqiu looked into Meng Xinzhu's eyes, "You don't want to help me?"
"The Bamboo Concubine helps the emperor and can become a female general or prime minister, but she cannot become a queen, because that would be harming the emperor."
"Sister-in-law, how could this happen?"
"Hahaha, please, the reason is too simple. I don't have enough power to help the emperor consolidate his imperial power, but it will cause him to lose his original power. Your Majesty, you should remember that I once said that as an emperor, he must
Only a monarch who has the ability to organize and unite the forces that win the hearts of the people, make them live in harmony, and utilize them to maximize their effectiveness is a wise and great monarch. The emperor wants to make me his queen, but he only hopes that my so-called talents can
To work for the benefit of the Moon Country, you do not necessarily need to stand in the position of the queen. You can do it even as the Bamboo Concubine. Since changing the status is of little significance, why should the emperor break the original peace?"
"I really saw you right!" Hongde Longqiu walked up to Meng Xinzhu and held her hand. "You are the only person in this palace who is not seduced by power!"
"That's because I don't have the ability to control this power," Meng Xinzhu turned to look at Hongde Longhao, "and I know that behind the temptation of poppies, there is the threat of poisonous snakes."
The weaving department cut the cloth spun according to Zhu Fei's requirements and made a set of clothes according to her design drawings. Grandma Zhang looked at the set of clothes carefully and couldn't help but wrinkled her head. She had never seen such a set of clothes.
Weird clothes. Haha, of course it was strange for her, because where did the "denim clothes" come from at that time? Although it is not really denim, it is close at least. This kind of cloth is more densely woven.
, airtight, relatively heat-insulating.
Meng Xinzhu tried on this new set of clothes in the room. The top was long and hip-length, and the waist was tightened during cutting to highlight the double S curve of her body. The pants were close-fitting, easy to move, and highlighted her slender legs. She was satisfied
