After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

When Lu Wanzhi heard that Meng Jingshu was willing, she waited in the courtyard outside the house for Meng Jingshu to wash up and put on her makeup.

It was a hot day in the dog days of July, and the roses in the courtyard were in full bloom.

There is also a small lotus pond in the corner of the courtyard, and the lotus in the pond has just bloomed. The landscape of the courtyard here is actually more beautiful than the gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Sister Wanzhi?"

Seeing Zhao Jue, Lu Wanzhi even bowed to Fu and said, "Your Highness."

Zhao Jue asked Lu Wanzhi, "You came to see Jingshu? Did she say anything to you?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Grandmother asked me to visit Sister Jingshu and go to the Gu family."

Zhao Jue glanced at the room and said, "Then can she go?"

Lu Wanzhi nodded slowly, and she heard Zhao Jue heaving a sigh of relief.

Lu Wanzhi looked up at Zhao Jue and said, "Sister Jingshu agrees to go to Gu's residence, but it doesn't mean she doesn't like you anymore, she's just looking at grandma's face."

Zhao Jue's face turned slightly green, and Lu Wanzhi said again: "When your Highness snatched sister Jingshu away, you should have known that such a day would come."

Zhao Jue said: "It was Meng Jingshu who I met first, and also Meng Jingshu who I fell in love with first."

Lu Wanzhi said: "Since it's Sister Jingshu that you will meet before my elder brother, why don't you go to Sister Jingshu to express your feelings before my elder brother? Why use such a disgusting method?"

Zhao Jue said: "At that time, I didn't know the relationship between men and women, and for His Royal Highness at that time, you were more suitable for the position of Crown Princess than Meng Jingshu."

Lu Wanzhi: "..."

Zhao Jue said slowly: "Father, the emperor's grandmother both prefer you to be the crown princess. I didn't choose the crown princess until I was about to be crowned, just to wait for you to grow up to be the crown princess, sister Wanzhi."

Lu Wanzhi: "..."

Zhao Jue looked at Lu Wanzhi and said, "Choosing Meng Jingshu as the crown princess is the first time I have disobeyed the emperor's grandmother, disobeyed the emperor, and even disregarded the position of the crown prince."

Lu Wanzhi didn't doubt Zhao Jue's words at all. Although the Meng family had the title of duke, they were already outsiders and middle-aged. Meng Jingshu's grandfather's generation started, and the duke's mansion began to decline.

In the generation of Meng Jingshu's father, before Emperor Jing Yuan came to the throne, he was still vacillating and missed the team. However, because the Meng family was incompetent and did not do anything in government affairs, Emperor Jing Yuan forgave him.

Therefore, perhaps because of this, Meng Guogong surrendered his eldest son to accompany Zhao Heng when the Queen Mother needed someone to accompany Zhao Heng.

For Meng Jingshu at that time, being a crown princess was indeed useless in terms of the power she could bring to the East Palace, on the contrary, it would only implicate the East Palace.

Zhao Jue said: "About Cheng'er, I haven't properly apologized to you, but Jingshu and Heyi are more important to me than anything else."

Seeing Zhao Jue's apology, Lu Wanzhi clearly did not admit his mistake.

Lu Wanzhi originally wanted to mention Zhao Jue, but Jing Shu's sister reacted so strongly, it was impossible not to have him in her heart. It can be seen that he has no repentance for taking away children like this, so she didn't want to mention any more.

Meng Jingshu dressed and went out, and frowned when she saw Zhao Jue.

Zhao Jue walked up to Meng Jingshu, held Meng Jingshu's hand and said, "I'll go to the Gu residence with you."

Meng Jingshu shook off Zhao Jue's hand and said, "Don't touch me."

Lu Wanzhi stepped forward and took Meng Jingshu's hand, saying: "Sister Jingshu, Mrs. Gu must have been waiting impatiently. Our carriage from Prince Chu's Mansion is outside, so we can hurry up."

Meng Jingshu nodded to Lu Wanzhi, "Okay."

Zhao Jue was naturally embarrassed to ride in the carriage of Prince Chu's mansion, it wasn't that Zhao Heng didn't care about the difference between men and women, and dared to ride in anyone's carriage.

When they arrived at Gu's house, Lu Wanzhi saw that everyone in the Gu's family looked unhappy, and even the maids and servants were too angry to make a sound.

When Lu Wanzhi arrived at Mrs. Gu's courtyard, she saw that Mrs. Gu, who was sick on the bed yesterday, was able to walk in the bed. She was wearing a blue-brown wide-sleeved shirt and skirt, her silver-white hair was tied into a high bun, and she was very kind. .

Seeing Lu Wanzhi and Meng Jingshu arriving, Mrs. Gu smiled lightly and said, "I've been waiting for the two of you to come over early in the morning. I've seen the eldest princess."

Meng Jingshu stepped forward to salute and said, "This junior has met Mrs. Gu."

Madam Gu didn't dare to accept Meng Jingshu's gift, she held her hand and said, "Jue'er has done a lot of stupid things, but my grandmother will always be your grandmother."

Meng Jingshu helped Mrs. Gu sit down and said, "Grandmother."

Mrs. Gu replied with a smile: "Hey, you all go down, I have something to talk to Jing Shu alone."

Everyone in the Gu family retreated.

After walking out the door, Mrs. Gu Hou sighed softly, and even asked everyone in the Gu family to report to the palace.

Yulan shook Lu Wanzhi's hand and said, "Girl, the imperial doctor said that grandma has returned to her former glory this time."

Lu Wanzhi could also tell that the old lady's complexion all the year round suddenly looked radiant, and it must not be because of her illness getting better, but because of her radiance.

Lu Wanzhi said: "Yesterday I sent someone to inform the prince, I hope the prince can come back in time."

Zhao Jue and those who came later saw that Lu Wanzhi and the Gu family were outside, but only saw Meng Jingshu, so they asked, "Where is Jingshu?"

Gu Shiyu stepped forward and said, "Grandmother is talking to her inside."

Inside the house, Mrs. Gu said to Meng Jingshu: "When Shi Yu was young, he got a nine-link ring made of red jade and loved it very much. When he went to the palace to accompany Jue'er to read, he would often bring it into the palace to play.

Jue'er fell in love with Jiulianhuan at a glance, and often borrowed Jiulianhuan from Shi Yu to play. At that time, Jue'er, Shiyu and Lu Hang were only five or six years old.

The three of them became addicted to playing Jiulianhuan, and they didn't do the homework taught by the Taifu, so they were severely reprimanded by His Majesty. At that time, His Majesty just reprimanded them for not completing their homework that day, but Jue'er never Don't touch Jiulianhuan anymore.

Except in the year of Heng'er's fifth birthday, he gave Heng'er a Jiulianhuan made of white jade. At that time, I think that Jue'er, who was only ten years old at the time, probably wanted to give it to his five-year-old self. "

Meng Jingshu said: "Grandma, what are you talking about?"

"Although Shi Yu and Lu Hang have been reprimanded, they can still play Jiulianhuan. When the old master was still there, Shi Yu liked Jiulianhuan and bought all kinds of Jiulianhuan in Chang'an City to play. .

The old master also gave Jue'er a Jiulianhuan. Jue'er said that the elders could not deny the gift, but the Jiulianhuan was a plaything, so although he accepted it, he locked the Jiulianhuan with a lock.

Jue'er later threw the key to lock Jiulianhuan into the lake. At that time, I knew he liked it. He liked Jiulianhuan to the extreme, but he forcibly held back. "

Mrs. Gu said slowly: "There are countless things like this. He gave up too much because of the position of crown prince. At that time, everyone thought that Wanzhi was the best candidate for the crown princess, so he thought so. After all, as the crown prince, his The crown princess can't let him decide."

Meng Jingshu said: "Fortunately, it wasn't Wanzhi who became his princess."

Mrs. Gu said slowly: "Jue'er liked you a long time ago, just like Jiu Lianhuan, he restrained his liking for you at first, and watched you and Lu Hang have a good tryst, do you think he didn't think about it?" Did you come to compete with Lu Hang for you when your relationship was still shallow?

But he had no choice. At that time, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager only recognized Wan Zhi as the Crown Princess. If he wanted to choose you, he could only make you the side concubine or Liangdi. Pursue you, let you choose between Lu Hang and him?
Perhaps Jue'er thought at first that you were like his favorite Jiulianhuan when he was young, as long as you locked it, he would not be tempted again, but after all, you are not Jiulianhuan, you are the only time he has loved you for so many years. Don't do things for the crown prince. "
