Queen's scheming

Chapter 119 Revenge ([-])

Tang Zihan wanted to deny it immediately, but he thought in his heart that Shen Qingyin is the queen of the middle palace, and her mother is the world's most respected mother, so she should not appear in the Liuqing Garden no matter what.Tang Zihan turned around to look at Shen Qingyi, nodded slightly at her and said: "Madam heard that this general is going to come here, so I came here specially with this general, and picked a Le Ji to go back home. I don't know if Mei Niang is here. Are there any good dishes?"

While Shen Qingyi was thinking about it, she understood what Tang Zihan meant, and she didn't respond, and just stood quietly beside Tang Zihan.

Mei Niang smiled with low eyebrows, looked at Shen Qingyi without a trace, and said: "Mr. Tang is really a lucky person. I have heard that Mrs. Tang is as beautiful as a flower, virtuous and virtuous. When I saw her today, it is true that the rumors are true." Xu. Mei Niang really has a few good dishes here, please invite Tang Xiaogong and his wife to take a look!"

Meiniang led the way with her head in front of her, her lotus steps moved slightly, her skirt swayed like flowers blooming, and she walked to a private room inlaid with bamboo branches. Qi Qi saluted and said: "Greetings to the Lord and Madam!"

Shen Qingyi was a little impatient, and wanted to step forward to see what happened, but was stopped by Tang Zihan's slightly raised arm.

Tang Zihan touched his chin with one hand, and said in a soft tone: "Meiniang, you know my master is not top grade, and I don't like my master!"

"Look at what you said, we Liuqing Garden, not to mention other things, all these girls are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you want to find a girl who is like the current empress You don’t know anything about red, we don’t have it in Liu Qing Yuan, you can choose the rest of Le Ji and dancer girls!” Meiniang smiled sweetly, holding a snow-colored silk handkerchief in her plain hand, and slightly wiped the rouge lipstick on the corners of her lips.

Tang Zihan frowned, and said seriously: "Meiniang, these words are not casually said. If someone else listens to slandering the current empress, you will lose your head!"

Shen Qingyi laughed at herself, it turns out that she is the laughing stock in everyone's heart, a mother of a brothel can compare herself with her girls, and she is even worse than her girls!
Meiniang smiled coquettishly, she smeared Dan Kou's finger on Tang Zihan's face lightly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang has been an official for a long time, and he has become serious. This slave is just saying something. It’s just a joke, who would seriously tell the emperor!”

Tang Zihan didn't want to argue with her now, he just raised his head and glanced at the four women and said, "Don't you raise your head and let me have a look?"

The four women in purple shirts raised their heads in response. Their appearances were either delicate, elegant, dignified, or charming, but there was no sign of An Qingyao.Shen Qingyi immediately became anxious. She and Tang Zihan hurried here, but there was no An Qingyao, so where would An Qingyao be?
"Meiniang, don't you have any other girls here? Did you just send them here today?" Shen Qingyi blurted out without caring about anything else.

Meiniang looked at Shen Qingyi suspiciously, Feng Yan immediately became vigilant.

Seeing this, Tang Zihan quickly grabbed Shen Qingyi's Rou Yi, and said with a little strength: "Madam, please be safe!" Then he turned his head and smiled, "Meiniang, my wife thinks your food is not good. Hurry up and bring up the new dishes you got recently, lest my wife get angry for a while, I won’t be able to have a new Le Ji, dancer girl!”

The crabapple flower fan in Mei Niang's hand swayed slightly, raised her delicately drawn eyebrows slightly, and said with a slight smile: "It's no wonder Mrs. Tang is picky. Compared with Mrs. Tang's dishes, the dishes here at the slave's house are really the same. There is still a top-quality dish that has not been served, I wonder if General Tang and his wife are interested?"

Shen Qingyi knew that she was reckless just now, and it was easy to be spotted by others, and it would be difficult to see An Qingyao again, so she didn't dare to open her mouth again, and only glanced at Tang Zihan with anxious eyes.

Tang Zihan showed his usual playful look, but he didn't let go of Shen Qingyi's hand, and said with a smile, "As expected, Mei Niang is the most understanding!"

Mei Niang smiled indifferently, her expression at the moment was a bit icy, but it contrasted with her snow-white clothes, the snow-white silk handkerchief was waving on her fingertips and said: "General Tang, Mrs. Tang please!"

Mei Niang took the two of them to the back hall, and after going around, they came to a small wooden house made of pine wood.Mei Niang stretched out her hand to make a gesture of invitation, Tang Zihan immediately brought Shen Qingyi in, but who knew that there was no candle lit inside, seeing a little light from the side room inside, the two looked at each other, then went inside, pushed Entering the door, the inside is actually empty, there are no tables, chairs or benches, only a tall candlestick in the corner with a red candle burning on it..
Before Tang Zihan turned around to ask questions, the floor tiles under Tang Zihan and Shen Qingyi's feet suddenly cracked, and the two of them fell down..
Mei Niang heard the exclamation of the two, she pursed her lips and smiled, and walked out of the courtyard with graceful lotus steps.

"Master, you are really good at predicting things. The woman you sent in the afternoon did cause some troubles. You just attracted Mr. Tang and his wife. The two of them pretended to be here to buy Le Ji, but they were here. After seeing our girl, she revealed that the maidservant has locked Mr. Tang and his wife together with that girl." Meiniang's eyes were like silk, and she looked at the man above her with infinite charm, and replied road.

"Oh? You actually provoked Tang Zihan. It seems that this girl really has a lot of background. It's just that Tang Zihan, as the imperial bodyguard, didn't dare to look for him with his official position. He even brought his wife here to cover up people's eyes and ears. It can be seen that this girl The crime cannot be taken lightly." The man at the head picked up the jadeite snuff bottle on the small huanghuali wood table, took a few inhales, sneezed twice and said, "That girl is really as you said, better than the ones I had before. Do the ladies of the official family need to be beautiful? Don’t let me spend so much time thinking, even the little Mr. Tang in the Duke’s Mansion of the Town is alarmed, but he can’t make any money!”

Meiniang smiled more and more charmingly, and said sweetly: "Master, can you still not trust Meiniang? The day before yesterday, the son of a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River came to Liuqingyuan. He didn't pay attention to any of our girls these two days. I spent a thousand taels of silver to buy it, and I don’t want it the next day, but when this girl was delivered today, this person saw it, and at that time his eyes lit up. In a few days, let’s buy and sell again, when the time comes, we are going to start the price at 5000 taels of silver!”

The man at the top was a little drowsy, and said in a deep voice: "It's good that I can make money for the master. Young master Tang will follow the old practice. After two days, give him some forgetfulness grass, forget the past and the past, Just give him a few more girls. It’s just a concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion. Relying on Concubine Xue’s favor in the palace, he dares to show off his power in front of the master. He really treats him as the son of the world. The master will return it to Zhen Guo If you are a stupid son, you can be regarded as helping Brother Zinan!"

Mei Niang agreed softly, turned her body and stepped forward, said: "Mr. Tang's wife is really stunning, but it's a pity that she is not a virgin, but with her appearance, there must be many men rushing up. I mean, I'm afraid it's worth more than this girl today, sir, do you want to enjoy it?"

The man above said with a lewd smile: "Master, I don't pick up Tang Zihan's broken shoes. I have seen his wife, sir, but she is a bit more dignified than those officials and ladies from small families. Not stunning, but the girl you said came today"

Meiniang was a little hesitant, Rou Yi, who was hugging the man, gently drew circles on his chest, and said: "Master, I am not a slave, the son of a wealthy merchant in the south of the Yangtze River is an expert in this field, not as easy to deceive as others , if he finds out, it will cut off the source of income of Liuqing Garden, and the girl's virginity will be worthless, the difference between 1 taels of silver and 500 taels of silver, needless to say, Lord, you also have one Decided, isn't it?" Meiniang was sure that the man in front of her only liked being a virgin, so she mentioned Shen Qingyi. To An Qingyao, although that woman was not comparable to Shen Qingyi, she was much prettier than Meiniang. He will not send someone over to take his place.

The first man was a little resentful, let go of Mei Niang
Mei Niang curled her lips secretly, now Master is becoming less and less interested in her, and has not touched her for a month.Meiniang twisted her slender waist, bowed to her blessed body, and said winkingly, "I'm going to my slave!"

The man above ignored Mei Niang's teasing, picked up the snuff bottle at the side and took two more snuffs.

Meiniang took a deep breath, turned and left, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn.

In Qiankun Palace.

"Your Majesty, Duke Feng and Concubine Wan have teamed up to kidnap Mrs. Li. The Empress is impatient and has gone out of the palace to look for her. She is guarded by General Tang, but it's almost two o'clock, and she hasn't returned yet." Palace!" The discussion between Li Tianyou and the other princes just came to an end, and as soon as Zhen Guogong and others left, Xiao Anzi rushed to Li Tianyou to report back.

"What?" Li Tianyou had finished discussing state affairs with Duke Zhen, Duke Fu, and Duke Yang. His voice was dry and he was about to drink tea when he heard Xiao Anzi's words. He immediately put the teacup aside and said in surprise. : "It's already this time, and you haven't returned to the palace yet?"

Xiao Anzi said anxiously: "The servant also said that the Queen Mother has sent people to ask several times, and the servant dare not tell lies. Now the Cihui Palace is also in a hurry. Yulian and Yuhe both went out of the palace to look for them. Zhang Yang is left to guard in Ningsu Palace."

Li Tianyou didn't need any more tea, he strode towards the layman, and said as he walked, "Why didn't you report back earlier? Why don't you hurry up and order elite soldiers, and go out of the palace to look for them?"

Xiao Anzi was turning around to get the cloak for Li Tianyou, after hearing Li Tianyou's words, he hurriedly rushed forward and said, "Your Majesty, no! The empress did not allow the imperial guards to follow because she was afraid of ruining Mrs. Li's reputation. General Tang ordered fifty dark guards to follow!"

Li Tianyou stopped in his tracks, raised his sword eyebrows, and said with a face like dark clouds: "What did you say? There are fifty dark guards following, but there is no news yet?"
