There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 29 Who is he?

Before the crown prince and side concubine Meng entered the palace, only side concubine Liu was favored in the backyard.

The reason is very simple, she comes from a good family background, she is pretty, although she is not very smart, but she is willing to let go, and she can be ashamed to try to be cute.

As a man, as the crown prince of the royal family, Xia Houjue has never been short of beautiful women.

But those women were either very timid, or they were pretentious in front of him, or they had impure purposes, and there were other masters behind them.

Compared with the above, Liu's is considered good, with a simple mind and easy control.

As long as she pleases him and pleases him, he will not be stingy with his favor, just like the bird in the cage, if he pleases his master, he will naturally be rewarded.

When Xia Houjue was in a bad mood, when he saw the sparrow in the old cage coming to please him, most of the chill in his heart went away: "Why are you here?"

Concubine Liu was overjoyed: "The concubine also passed by here, seeing the master here, I dare not not come to see you!"

"Master, this concubine seems to be in a bad mood looking at you!"

Xia Houjue raised his eyebrows: "You can see this?"

"That's natural!" Concubine Liu observed her words carefully.

"Master! This concubine has composed a new dance piece, and I have never had a chance to invite you to enjoy it. How about today..."

She must keep the crown prince today and let that little bitch of the Meng family take a good look at who is more favored!

"Ok!"

Xia Houjue turned around with a calm expression, and strode towards Furongju. Concubine Liu was delighted and followed with a smile on her face.

Arrived at Furongju.

Concubine Liu gave instructions from top to bottom, arranged fragrant tea, snacks and soft pillows, and finally asked two ugly little maids to beat his legs, while she went to change into the latest dance clothes.

Xia Houjue sank into the big soft pillow, drank the most fragrant tea, listened to the freshest music, and watched the beauty dance in front of her, feeling comfortable physically and mentally.

A smile finally appeared on his expressionless face.

It is said that a gentleman loves both the country and the beautiful woman, but he doesn't take it seriously, why should such a thing as a woman be taken to heart.

It is their greatest blessing to be able to relieve boredom and fatigue during the busy government affairs, isn't it?

……

Furong is home to singing and dancing.

However, Nongcuiju was extremely deserted, with a desolate atmosphere.

Knowing that the Crown Prince had gone to the Liu family, Meng Yuyao's entire face darkened.

"Come out happily from Princess Concubine, feel unhappy here with us, and go to Concubine Liu again?!"

"The woman finally fell down, why did she stand up again, I have to find a way, and there is also the princess..."

"Master..." Xueqin stepped forward to offer the treasure.

"I heard that there will be an autumn hunt after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The princess and concubine will definitely go there, but not everyone else. This is a good opportunity!"

"What is Autumn Hunting? I've never been there before, and I can't ride horses or shoot arrows. Besides, I'm not qualified to go as a side concubine!" Meng side concubine was very upset.

"Think of another way!"

"Master, don't you still have the empress?" Xueqin hastily persuaded.

"You are the first one in our East Palace to be favored by the Empress Empress. As long as the Empress Empress steps forward, this matter will definitely be possible!"

"Besides, you don't know how to ride a horse, you can let the prince teach you!"

As Xueqin spoke slowly, a beautiful picture of 'green mountains and beautiful waters, gentlemen and beauties sharing a ride, roaming among mountains and rivers' appeared in Meng Yuyao's mind.

"Yes!" She nodded slowly.

"I can't, master can teach me! If you really have such an opportunity, you must not let it go to others!"

After thinking about it, she took out the female red that was about to end again.

"This cushion has to be finished tonight, and tomorrow I'm going to pay my respects to the empress!"

"Yes!" Xueqin smiled and stepped forward to help.

……

The next day, Meng Yuyao went to Fengyang Palace after breakfast.

At that time, the queen was looking at the materials of the autumn clothes with several nuns. Seeing her coming, the queen warmly took her hand.

"Come here and run for this palace!"

Meng Yuyao was overwhelmed by the flattery, she agreed shyly and stood beside the queen.

After half an hour, when all the materials were ready, the queen dismissed all the palace servants, leaving only Meng Yuyao.

"What's the matter with you today?" The Queen asked seriously with a smile on her face.

Meng Yuyao didn't beat around the bush, and directly explained her intentions.

"I heard that there will be a safari after the Mid-Autumn Festival. His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely not be absent, my concubine..." She lowered her head and did not continue.

The queen already understood what she meant.

"You want to go?"

Meng Yuyao nodded silently, then knelt down again.

"Also please be kind to me, Your Majesty has been treating me hot and cold these days, I want to take this opportunity..."

The queen let out a long breath, squinted her eyes and thought about it.

"It's not difficult, but it's not in the rules for you to follow, are you sure?"

Meng Yuyao nodded firmly.

"Although the concubine can't fathom His Highness's thoughts, but with the Crown Princess as a comparison, and the absence of Mrs. Liu, the concubine still has a chance of winning!"

She has the backing of the queen, but the Liu family does not, so it is certain that she will go or not.

At that time, only the princess will be in front of her. If she can't win with such a big difference, it will be considered that she has lived in vain.

"it is good!"

The queen's eyes fell on the cushion she offered, and she smiled.

"Seeing your filial piety, I will help you once! It's a gift from me!"

"From now on, you must be filial to me!"

Meng Yuyao was overjoyed.

"Empress, don't worry, as long as you need me in the future, I will die!"

"Get up! Come and sit down!" The queen beckoned to her.

Meng Yuyao said thank you and sat beside the queen, only to hear the queen sigh.

"Actually, I hired you for no other reason than to keep track of what's going on around him!"

"You also know that Jue'er is not my own after all, and he has grown up in the past few years, and I can't figure out his mind even more!"

"He also refused to tell me that I, the queen mother, are very anxious!"

"Now that I have you, I don't have to worry about anything!"

Meng Yuyao bowed her head obediently.

"Don't worry, empress, as long as you want to know, I will tell you everything in detail!"

The queen took her hand with satisfaction.

"You are a good boy!"

"That Tang family, help me to keep an eye on her, her father has a special status, we have to guard against it!"

"Yes!" Meng Yuyao lowered her head and smiled, a cold light appeared in her eyes.

……

In recent days, Tang Wanning has been very angry.

There is still half a month until the autumn hunting, when the time comes, all the civil and military princes and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will be there, and Dad will also be there.

If his archery skills are terrible, he will definitely be ridiculed by everyone and embarrass Dad.

After thinking about it, she felt that she could no longer work behind closed doors, and had to go out and find a master to teach herself.

After leaving Yuqing Palace and coming to the Royal Academy, he suddenly saw a silver figure flash past.

Taking a closer look, this person is dressed in a silver four-clawed python robe, tall and straight, his facial features are five points similar to Xia Houjue's, but not so cold, and the brows are a little more kind.

He is practicing sword, holding a long sword in his hand, soaring into the sky, his clothes fluttering and his gaze lingering, sometimes light like a goshawk soaring into the sky, sometimes dignified like a tiger descending the mountain.

"Good swordsmanship!" Tang Wanning couldn't help but praise.

"who is he?"
