Chapter 289 The Old Emperor's Thoughts ([-])
Fenghuang thought that he would see an unkempt and haggard Mei Siniang.

After all, the front door and the most beloved flowers and plants have become like that, so she doesn't have the mood to clean herself up.

However, the women in the room are exquisitely dressed and well-dressed, no less than those competing concubines in the palace.

"Si Niang?" Feng Huang called out softly, feeling suspicious again.

Mei Siniang, who was leaning against the window, raised her eyes, tears fell like broken pearls,

It was only then that Fenghuang realized that her makeup was very heavy today, but even so, the thick powder still couldn't cover the haggard face.

"Your Majesty..." Mei Siniang whimpered and cried, but she didn't move a step.

"What a stubborn temper." Fenghuang smiled and shook his head, but his tone was much softer.

He walked slowly to the window, gently took Mei Siniang's hand: "I have always thought about you, but too many things have happened this year.

If I say that I won't be able to spare time to see you, it must be a lie, and you won't believe it. "

"As long as His Majesty says it, I will believe everything."

"Stupid words!" Fenghuang pulled out the silk handkerchief from her sleeve, and gently wiped away her tears.

"It's not that I don't miss you, and it's not that I don't have time to see you. It's just that I've been worrying too much this year. I've been in a bad mood for two out of three days. I don't want you to be implicated. So I just didn't come here."

Mei Siniang said coquettishly: "Your Majesty is fooling people again, no one in the capital does not know that you have recently mixed oil with the empress, it's not a birthday, even foreign envoys are here..."

Fenghuang laughed loudly and said: "I just said that as long as it is said by me, you can believe anything.

Why didn't you admit it so quickly, and actually suspected that I was fooling you? "

"Your Majesty—" Mei Siniang twisted her body, and her voice became even louder.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore." Fenghuang said softly: "I haven't asked you yet, I don't even care about the flowers and plants, why are you still dressed like this?"

Mei Siniang sniffed: "I am thinking about His Majesty all the time, so I don't have the time to get those flowers and plants.

But the concubine was also afraid that if His Majesty came suddenly, you would dislike her disheveled appearance, so she forced herself to tidy herself up properly.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would be so heartless that he would not visit this concubine for so long..."

Fenghuang sighed and looked around.

"Your house is fairly tidy, but the furnishings are really boring.

How about I take you out for a walk and let Xiao Anzi arrange someone to clean it up for you? "

Of course Mei Siniang would not refuse such a good thing.

Fenghuang has always been generous, saying that he wants to change the decorations, but in fact he wants to give her a big reward.

"That concubine has to wash her face and change into her clothes."

Feng Huang patted her on the face: "Keep it simple, it's too beautiful to be missed by others."

"Your Majesty is playing tricks on my concubine again!" Mei Siniang withdrew her hand and went to wash and change without mentioning it.

After leaving the house, Eunuch An waited for the two of them to get into the carriage.

Fenghuang thought for a while, and said to Mei Siniang: "It's rare to be in high spirits today, why don't someone invite Xiguang, and let's go to the countryside to swim in the lake together?"

Mei Siniang had always admired Xia Huaixun very much, but due to her relationship with the old emperor in recent years, she dared not show it too clearly.

Hearing that he offered to invite Xia Huaixun to swim the lake together, of course she couldn't wish for it.

"Xia Xueshi's talent and learning are unparalleled, what's even more rare is that he doesn't have the pedantic spirit of a scholar, he is an extremely interesting person.

It's just that it's rare for His Majesty to be alone with my concubine, and it would be inconvenient for him to be present. "

Of course Fenghuang knew about Mei Siniang's past events, but he never suspected that there was any ambiguity between Xia Huaixun and her.

Of course, this rare trust was not given to Mei Siniang, but because she believed in Xia Huaixun.

That man was too lofty and infatuated, except for his late wife, he had no other women in his eyes.

Even Zhulu, the stunning maid, was willing to give her attendant as his wife, let alone other people?

Fenghuang stroked his long beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "What is Si Niang thinking? We are just swimming in a lake, so why is there any inconvenience?"

Mei Siniang blushed and said, "I don't have anything on my mind, I'm just afraid that Bachelor Xia won't like it."

"Si Niang is thinking too much!" Feng Huang patted her hand: "His precious lump is not in the capital, and it is very boring to be alone in the mansion."

As he spoke, he said to Mr. An: "Send someone to invite Xi Guang, and tell him that I am waiting for him in the boat on Nanjiao Lake, so come here quickly!"

"Yes." Eunuch An replied, and arranged for someone to notify Xia Huaixun.

Half an hour later, Fenghuang and Mei Siniang were already drinking tea on the boat.

It was early spring at this time, and the scenery on the lake was quite interesting.

Fenghuang only felt refreshed, but Mei Siniang was a little listless.

"What is Si Niang thinking about?"

"The concubine is thinking about the baby bump that His Majesty just mentioned."

Feng Huang was amused by her words.

"It's been more than a year, Si Niang still holds grudges?"

"How dare I be a concubine, that little girl is so powerful, she accidentally smashed my head!"

"Yue girl is indeed powerful, but it's not good if the girl's family is too weak.

Fortunately, before she got married, her parents and relatives would always try their best to take good care of her.

It's not necessarily the case after getting married. If you meet someone who is unreasonable, who should you rely on? "

Mei Siniang curled her lips: "Your Majesty has so many grandchildren, if you really think that little girl is good, you can simply marry her into the royal family and let her be your grandson-in-law?"

Fenghuang smiled and said: "For such a powerful girl, she must be a queen if she wants to do it, otherwise it will be a disaster to marry anyone."

Speaking without the intention of the listener.

It's not easy to say these words by Feng Huang, but Mei Siniang was terrified when she heard them.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?
Not only did he intend to make that dead girl his grandson-in-law, but he also planned to make her the future queen of Feng Kingdom!
In other words, whichever emperor's grandson marries her will be the future emperor!

To put it more bluntly, whichever palace a dead girl marries into, the prince of that palace will be the Crown Prince of Fengguo.

Mei Siniang felt her mouth was dry, she took a few mouthfuls of warm tea.

Fenghuang smiled, turned his head and continued to admire the scenery of the lake and mountains.

About an hour later, a small boat sailed towards them quickly.

Feng Huang took a closer look, the thin man standing at the bow was none other than Xia Huaixun.

He stood up and walked out of the cabin, standing on the deck and waving towards someone: "Xiguang, this way—"

The boat soon came to the painting boat.

Xia Huaixun stepped on the gangplank to get on the boat, saluted Feng Huang and said, "I see your majesty."

Emperor Feng stepped forward and held his wrist: "Xi Guang must be cursing me in his heart."

Xia Huaixun felt a little headache: "If your majesty's words are heard by someone who cares, I won't be able to wash myself off even if I jump from here!"
