Feng Ying looks at her mistress, the slight contempt in her heart is gone. What kind of woman can win her master's heart?
"Yes, the pavilion master."
Feng Ying answers respectfully. Now the master of the Qing Ya Xue Pavilion is Mei Qingxue. Du Gu Qing has given out all his functions.
Looking at the black clothed woman in front of her, Mei Qingxue even wants to organize a woman army. Her favorite is Hua Mulan. Li Yue Feng is willing to go to the battlefield with her husband. Mei Qingxue has a good impression of her. It is a pity that she is really busy recently. She does not have the time to meet the newly weds.
"Feng Ying, put our own people in several powerful forces. I cannot let the situation go out of control." Mei Qingxue likes to control all the things. If she cannot have them in her hand, she will always feel uneasy.
Counting that she is a woman without weapons, but her management skills are extremely good.
"Yes!" After Feng Ying hears Mei Qingxue's order, she flashes and leaves Mei Qingxue's sight. Looking at Feng Ying's figure, Mei Qingxue is extremely envious. She knows that she has no chance to become a Jianghu expert in this life, but she does not believe that a weak woman without strength cannot unify the Jianghu?
"Xuan Qiao, tell the emperor to come over." Mei Qingxue sits in her Qing Xue Pavilion, playing with her fingers. Xuan Qiao is dumbfounded. The queen... Summons the emperor?
What is the situation?
But Xuan Qiao does not dare not to follow Mei Qingxue's order. Sister Yue Ru said that if she does not listen to the queen's order, she will have many strange methods to make people not dare to go against her order in the future.
Xuan Qiao does not want to become a black carbon head, nor does she want to clean the blue bricks, so it is better to listen to the order obediently. Anyway, the queen is the only imperial concubine in the palace. Isn't the empress the greatest in the palace? The emperor has to listen to the empress, or else he can only sleep in the imperial study.
"Reporting to the emperor, Xuan Qiao requests an audience."
Xuan Qiao knows that the emperor is currently reading the memorials in the imperial study, so she reports her identity outside the door.
Hearing that it is Xuan Qiao, Du Gu Qing puts down the memorial in his hand, rubbing his eyes. "Come in," he does not know what Xuan Qiao is looking for him for. Most probably it is a message from Xue Er.
"Your Majesty!" Xuan Qiao quickly kneels down. The queen summoned the emperor. How should she say it?
"What is the matter?" Du Gu Qing sees Xuan Qiao's hesitant appearance and feels strange. "Just say it. Stop stuttering."
"Yes, it is the queen who called... Invited, your majesty to go..."
The queen said to call the emperor over. How would she dare... Xuan Qiao's voice gets softer and softer, finally not daring to raise her head.
Du Gu Qing knows that Mei Qingxue did not say anything good, so he puts down the memorial in his hand and stands up. "Did the empress say to call me to the Qing Xue Pavilion?"
"Yes!" She did not expect the emperor to guess correctly. Xuan Qiao quickly agrees. Looking at Du Gu Qing putting down the memorial in his hand and standing up, Xuan Qiao quickly follows behind him.
"To call me is to call, to invite?"
Du Gu Qing shakes his head as he walks towards the Qing Xue Pavilion. If Mei Qingxue says the word invite one day, then there is a problem. Calling him at this time, most probably she wants him to accompany her out of the palace. Mei Qingxue cannot stay in the palace. She always wants to find a way to go out.
"Xue Er? You are looking for me?" Du Gu Qing sees Mei Qingxue sitting lazily on the low couch and knows in his heart. "Do you want to go out of the palace again?"
"No!" Mei Qingxue looks at Du Gu Qing. At this moment, where does she have the mood to play? The Old Man of the Pine and Crane has not been escorted here. She is anxious.
"What about the person I want?" Mei Qingxue raises her eyebrows.
"Isn't the Qing Ya Xue Pavilion handed over to you? You can ask yourself. I will not interfere." Du Gu Qing has already completely handed over the Qing Ya Xue Pavilion to Mei Qingxue. He is busy handling government affairs, and has not interfered in other matters.
"Yes, it is handed over to me. I just remembered this matter." It has been a long time. If he was escorted, he should be here. She is afraid that there might be some accident.
Mei Qingxue secretly takes this matter to heart. The Old Man of the Pine and Crane is originally not a good person. Removing him is also removing a hazard.
"You do not want to go out of the palace, so what do you want me for?" Du Gu Qing looks at his wife, with a smile on his face. "You are handling government affairs in the imperial study. I am extremely bored. I want you to accompany me. Is that not okay?" Although they meet every day, she cannot bear to be separated for a moment. Mei Qingxue has already decided in her heart to go out of the palace for a few months.
Just under the same roof, she will miss him after not seeing him for a moment. If she really goes out of the palace for a few months, she will not be tortured to death by her longing.
"I want to go out of the palace for a few months." Mei Qingxue looks at Du Gu Qing. "The matter I want to do is to unify the Jianghu. When this matter is completed, I will never leave you again."
The ancient Jianghu is much more powerful than the modern underworld. There are many people, and each of them has their own skills. As long as someone can unite these people, they are more terrifying than an invasion army. Because of the Jianghu people's combat power, and many other reasons, Mei Qingxue has lived nine lives. The first nine lives are all in the modern era. It should be a peaceful era, but there are still many unfair things. She cannot seek revenge like in the era of cold weapons.
"A few months?" Hearing Mei Qingxue's words, Du Gu Qing's heart tightens. Although he knew that the matter Mei Qingxue planned this time was not small, he did not expect that she still had a plan to leave him for a few months. If they do not meet for a few months, no one knows what will happen. Even if Mei Qingxue is not in the palace, no one will stop the matter of the selection of concubines. He is afraid that if the emperor's father and the empress dowager returns, his harem will be full.
If they do not meet for a few months, then what will he do?
For a moment, Du Gu Qing even hates the position he is in. He cannot follow his lover and travel around the world together. Mei Qingxue does not like to be restricted in this courtyard. He, Du Gu Qing, does not like it too. If it was not for the people of the world, he would rather be a happy king without power. He can take his wife to travel around the world when he is free.
Not caring about the world's affairs, living like a couple of immortals.
It is a pity that all those have become a luxury. It is because of this position, his few elder brothers fought over this position, and even the third elder brother was imprisoned for life. It is all because of this position.
He is truly unwilling to fight with them. In the past, he never had that heart. If they did not target him again and again. Mei Qingxue would not agree to return to this position.
"Yes, are you reluctant to part with me?"
"Definitely. If Xue Er is not around, who will solve my longing?"
"Then you can take concubines into the harem. When I am not around, it is just your opportunity." Mei Qingxue says jokingly. Although she is saying joking words, her face and eyes do not have any smiles.
"You have already planned?" Du Gu Qing looks at his high spirited wife and knows that she has mostly completed her deployment. This is the time when she goes out to close the net.
"Sort of. You have learned martial arts yourself, and you know that the so called Jianghu people can be an unsafe factor for the country. I do not want to let this unsafe factor go. Only by controlling them and turning them into my own strength, does it mean that she is successful."
"Control? If it was so easy to control, someone would have done it earlier."
Du Gu Qing gently shakes his head. The emperors of the past dynasties have also tried to unify the Jianghu, but unfortunately, no one has been able to succeed.
Now, Mei Qingxue wants to do this matter. Du Gu Qing is not looking down on his wife, but he feels that Mei Qingxue is not experienced enough in doing things. Many things are not things she can do if she wants to, nor is it something she can succeed if she wants to.
"Xue Er, you have to be careful." Du Gu Qing originally did not want Mei Qingxue to leave his side, but he also knows that if Mei Qingxue does not do this matter, she will not be at peace even if she is in the palace.
"That is natural. I always put my own safety first." Even when she tells others to do things, she will put safety first before doing it.
"You can rest assured. I will send messages back to the palace." Telling him what she has done, who she has met, and where she is. Mei Qingxue has already prepared everything.
"Good!"
Du Gu Qing does not stop her. With Du Gu Qing's permission, Mei Qingxue is even more relaxed. Just when Mei Qingxue starts to pack her things to go out of the palace, the emperor's father and the empress dowager unexpectedly returns.
"The time they returned is really coincidental." Is it too much of a coincidence? Mei Qingxue secretly mutters. If she did not know that they suddenly returned, she would really think that Du Gu Qing secretly summoned them back just to stop her from going out.
She sees Du Gu Qing's shocked appearance and knows that he is also unaware.
"Your daughter in law pays respects to the emperor's father and the empress dowager!"
Mei Qingxue gently salutes. "Get up!" The empress dowager's face is calm. The selection of concubines some time ago was destroyed by her. They are here to find Mei Qingxue to settle the score.
"Empress, I heard that you renovated the palace?"
The empress dowager's face is serious. Mei Qingxue's heart skips a beat. She immediately knows that there are other people's eyes and ears in the palace. It is not only her and Du Gu Qing. How did she forget this matter? She thought that the palace was all her own people.
In the past, she saw so many palace fighting dramas. She should remember that the palace is the center of power and rumors. Not to mention all the complicated forces, just the mouth of each person, this palace is not peaceful.
"Reporting to the empress dowager, yes. Your daughter in law just saw that the empty space in the courtyard is too large, so she just used it."
"Just as you said, you just used the courtyard in the palace. What about the selection of concubines? There are so many concubines, but there is not a suitable one for the emperor?" Guo Qin Er looks at her daughter in law. In the past, why was she blind and thought that she was the best. "The emperor sat beside and approved the selection of concubines personally. Each concubine has the emperor's comment. Later, the emperor got bored of looking at them and gave it to me to handle." There are so many people looking, and there are so many eunuchs and maids. The emperor himself did not approve of a single one.
