and son

After spending so many days, neither of them could last.

The queen said she wanted to see Meng Chuji, and if Meng Chuji could persuade her, she would no longer prevent Meng Chuji from being with him; if not, Meng Chuji would leave the country immediately.

He couldn't convince the queen and wanted Meng Chuji to give it a try. Of course, even if he failed, he would not let Meng Chuji go.

However, he was not willing to let Meng Chuji face the queen alone. Meng Chuji was afraid of the queen, he had always known it.

Pei Jing was afraid that Meng Chuji would be disappointed in him, because he couldn't bear the queen's pressure, and finally let him come forward, but Meng Chuji was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Hey, she is willing to see me? I'm still afraid of entering the palace It's a good thing to make her angry, why are you crying so sadly?"

"Qingqing..."

Pei Jing's heart warmed up.

Meng Chuji patted him on the shoulder, laughed at him and said, "Why are you more nervous than me when my mother wants to see me? By the way, let me tell you a secret."

Pei Jing's tense facial features gradually relaxed, and she leaned towards her ears, obediently asking, "What's the secret?"

Meng Chuji boasted to himself solemnly: "I have a nickname in Dachu called 'Elder Zhan'. Look at me, I am pleasing to the eye, when the New Year's money is given out more than others, I am naturally liked, and the queen mother will definitely like me."

He raised his eyebrows confidently as he spoke.

Pei Jing seemed to believe it was true: "Really?"

He doesn't know if the title of "Elder Zhan" is true, but he does like him.

Meng Chuji puffed out his chest shamelessly, and said in embarrassment: "Of course, no one can resist my charm."

Pei Jing shook her head and laughed, Meng Chuji was so optimistic and cheerful, he seemed to think of him too weakly, the Queen's... must be able to do it.

……

The empress dowager passed away before the filial piety period, so the empress directly skipped the birthday banquet.

In fact, she was very upset, and she was not in the mood to celebrate her birthday.

Gifts still had to be given, the officials and wives all picked out things to send to the palace, Gillian chose a string of rare Buddhist beads, Meng Chuji thought about it, picked out a piece of fine sable wool, and asked someone to make a hand guard .

The queen carried a hand stove wherever she went, so her limbs were afraid of the cold. Wearing the hand guards, she would not be afraid of the cold.

Then, Meng Chuji entered the palace with his gift.

Pei Jing sent to the gate of the hall, hugged Meng Chuji and patted his head. Meng Chuji was not used to showing intimacy in front of others, so he brushed his hand away and said dissatisfiedly:

"Don't touch it, your hair is messed up."

Pei Jing held his face, still reluctant to let go.

Meng Chuji touched the tip of his nose, as if there were stars in his eyes: "Wait for my good news."

Pei Jing let him go slowly, Meng Chuji waved at him, turned and entered the hall.

Pei Jing stood still and didn't want to leave until the nanny in the palace came out and said, "Your Highness, the empress said that you should go to Qingchen Palace to accompany Your Majesty."

Pei Jing struggled and hesitated again and again, holding on to her trust in the queen, she left.

In the hall, the nanny reported that Pei Jing had left, and the queen looked down at Meng Chuji, who was lazily leaning on the couch, holding the stove in her arms, her eyes were cold and ruthless.

The gift presented by Meng Chuji was held aside by the maid, but she didn't even take a look at it.

Meng Chuji knelt down, accepting the queen's silent torture. He said in his heart that it would be false if he didn't suffer, but he tried his best to remain calm and calm, waiting for the queen to speak.

Finally, the queen said: "I heard that the empress dowager gave you a decree to leave Jing'er and Dasui?"

"Yes."

Meng Chuji lowered his head.

The queen sat up a little bit, her imposing manner was even more awe-inspiring, and her tone was harsh and unequivocal: "But you are so bold and reckless that you violated the order!"

Meng Chuji said again: "Yes."

The queen sneered impressively: "Do you think that I dare not touch you because of your status as a married princess, or do you think that Jing'er loves you so you have nothing to fear?"

Meng Chuji clenched his fists, met the Queen's eyes, summoned up his courage and said, "I admire Your Highness, and I don't want to leave him."

"How long will Yuemu last? How can you ensure that your heart for Jing'er will remain unchanged? Do you know how much trouble you will cause Jing'er and how much suffering you will cause him to endure if you stay by Jing'er's side? His The queen mother was disappointed because of this, his father and emperor could not enjoy the family relationship, his courtiers were heartbroken, and his people scolded the absurd; and you, do your parents know about this, they sent you here reluctantly, hoping for your return home every day, But you are obsessed with love and disregard human relations and filial piety, do you think your Yuemu is right? After this period of indifference, you look back and find that your choice is wrong, you can guarantee that you will not Would you blame Jing'er for forcing you to stay by your side?"

The Queen's words were deafening, straight to the heart every single word. This was a question Meng Chuji had repeatedly questioned his own soul when he was hesitating. Now that he said it from someone else's mouth, it was even more cruel. It looked a little bleak.

"There's nothing wrong with following your heart. What you like is human nature. If it's an ordinary family, it's fine. Jing'er is in Tian's family and enjoys his power and status. He has to bear the price of corresponding responsibilities. He can't escape and can't escape."

"I am his queen mother, and I know him very well. He doesn't really like you. A person like him doesn't know what true liking is. It's just that you came with your marriage. He respects you as his wife and tries to make himself devoted to you." You, following the example of Ming Junxian, mistakenly thought that it was love. But if one day he meets a girl he really likes, how will you deal with yourself?"

Meng Chuji's body shook imperceptibly, his fists suddenly couldn't be clenched tightly, and his fingers trembled unconsciously hidden under his sleeves.

The queen looked at him, and her pair of phoenix eyes seemed to be able to see through his heart: "I don't think you have thought through all this clearly, even if you stay with Jing'er, you are hesitant. Think about it here until you think it through.”

Meng Chuji's drooping eyelashes were slightly wet, and with a trembling voice, he said with difficulty: "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your kindness. There is no need to think about these questions, because..."

"I trust him."

The queen narrowed her eyes slightly.

Meng Chuji took a deep breath, his eyes were red when he raised his eyes, he saw his embarrassment and cowardice with nowhere to hide in the queen's eyes, he was not as brave as he imagined, and he couldn't help but want to escape, but he still wanted to say...

"Perhaps His Highness doesn't really like me, but His Highness I know is sensible and affectionate. Even if he meets a girl he really likes, he will definitely not treat me too badly. It is my own business to admire Your Highness." , Your Highness is willing to treat me well."

"I'm a man, I'm not afraid of wasting my time when I'm young. He's been with me for ten years. It doesn't matter if my life is so long. He's been with me for 20 years. After 20 years, I'm not even forty. He's been with me for 30 years. Years, more than half of my life, I earned it, and if he is lucky to be with me for the rest of my life, that is the honor of my life..."

"If His Highness is willing one day, I would like to take His Highness to visit my hometown. Da Chu is very beautiful, unlike Da Sui. My parents and relatives are very friendly. If I like it, they will definitely like it."
