Chapter 227 How far can you go by relying on pampering?

Unfortunately, this was not Meng Yanzhi's dream.

However, since this person was Xiao Xingyuan, Meng Yanzhi was willing to give in.

She took a deep breath and then said directly, "Forget it, you wouldn't understand if I told you too much. In short, you just need to work hard and wait patiently. If I really become a royal concubine, I will bring you to my side and I will make you see how the person who killed my master dies!"

Don't think that just because you're in love now, you can forget what happened back then.

Consort Ling owes her a life, and this matter is not over yet!

"yes!"

Little Corn perked up immediately. He had been a little worried that Meng Yanzhi would forget about Eunuch Wang after becoming an imperial concubine, but he didn't expect that she remembered, and always remembered!

Soon, the imperial decree conferring the title was issued.

Wang Huanhai personally came to announce the imperial decree, bestowing upon Meng Yanzhi the title of Consort Meng and granting her residence in the Begonia Palace.

The imperial decree came so quickly and suddenly that even Meng Yanzhi herself was stunned. She stared at the imperial decree written by Xiao Xingyuan himself, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

Finally, Wang Huanhai stepped forward and smiled gently at Meng Yanzhi: "Congratulations, Consort Meng! Congratulations, Consort Meng!"

Following them into the Begonia Palace were palace maids and eunuchs, who showered her with countless gifts, mostly gold and silver jewels. This showed that Xiao Xingyuan truly wanted to give her the best of everything!

"Isn't this too much?!"

Meng Yanzhi stared at these things with wide eyes in disbelief.

"There aren't many."

"I feel it's not enough!"

Xiao Xingyuan strode in, looking at Meng Yanzhi with a beaming smile.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xingyuan took out a small box and presented it to Meng Yanzhi like a treasure.

"Rouge, look, this is a ruby ​​that was presented as tribute from Persia. I had it cut into two pieces, one for you and one for me."

"I've made a pair of rings. What do you think? Do you like them?"

Xiao Xingyuan opened the box, revealing a ruby ​​inside that looked like pigeon blood, so beautiful it was impossible to look away.

Seeing this, Meng Yanzhi was naturally overjoyed. She reached out, picked up the ring, and slipped it onto Xiao Xingyuan's finger. Then, the two intertwined their fingers.

Meng Yanzhi then nestled into Xiao Xingyuan's arms: "Your Majesty, am I really a concubine now, or even a Noble Consort?"

"Yes, you are already a Noble Consort."

"I originally wanted to make you Empress, but Lingxiao said it's not the right time yet, so I can only temporarily make you a Consort!"

Xiao Xingyuan even felt a little regretful when he mentioned this matter.

What? The Empress!

Meng Yanzhi had never even considered this position, and now, hearing Xiao Xingyuan say this, she felt terrified.

She hurriedly sat up and looked at Xiao Xingyuan very seriously: "Your Majesty, I am already content to be by Your Majesty's side. As for status and position, I really don't care!"

"I understand, but I don't want to wrong my beloved woman."

"Rouge, in my heart, only the position of Empress of this nation is worthy of you!"

Xiao Xingyuan put his arm around Meng Yanzhi, smiled gently, and looked at her with great seriousness.

But Meng Yanzhi's heart felt somewhat empty.

"Your Majesty, do you not wish to leave this nine-layered palace?"

Meng Yanzhi leaned against Xiao Xingyuan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and murmured a question.

Xiao Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and immediately said, "Rouge, I will never go back on my promise to you. However, the court is in turmoil right now, and it is not a good time to leave. Although the Crown Prince is capable, he is still young. I cannot fail to be responsible for the people of the world!"

All the people in the world are his subjects, and no emperor can stand by and watch his subjects suffer!

Meng Yanzhi understood all these principles, and hearing Xiao Xingyuan say this now, she didn't feel there was anything wrong with it. She just felt a little regretful, sighed, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I understand, Your Majesty. Don't worry, I will stay with you and wait for you. I believe that day will come sooner or later, right?"

Even if that day never comes, it doesn't matter. She can stay here for the person she loves, even if the price is losing her freedom, she is willing!

Xiao Xingyuan glanced at Meng Yanzhi, and only after confirming that she was truly not angry did he breathe a sigh of relief: "Alright, you can stay in the palace and do whatever you want. Just tell me directly."

"Your Majesty, I want Little Corn. I want him to stay by my side, is that alright?" Meng Yanzhi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Xingyuan with a smile.

It was just a matter of a eunuch, so Xiao Xingyuan naturally wouldn't refuse. He nodded directly and said, "Alright, I agree!"

"Yes! Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Yanzhi immediately beamed with joy, hugged Xiao Xingyuan's neck, and rubbed against him happily, as obedient as a kitten.

The news of Meng Yanzhi being granted the title of Imperial Concubine spread like wildfire and became known throughout the capital. Therefore, the first person to come to her door was Meng's father.

When Meng's father sent the invitation, Meng Yanzhi smiled disdainfully, but she did not refuse and still agreed to meet.

When they met again, the father and daughter had become ruler and subject.

Even though Meng's father was unwilling, he had no choice but to bow respectfully to Meng Yanzhi: "Greetings, Your Highness the Imperial Concubine."

"Father, get up quickly." Meng Yanzhi sat upright in her chair, smiling as she looked at her father, as if everything was still the same as before.

However, Meng's father understood that Meng Yanzhi was completely different from before. After all, Meng Yanzhi was now a Noble Consort and the most favored woman by the Emperor's side.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Rouge, you're really amazing."

“Even I, your father, am being manipulated by you.”

After sitting down, Meng's father looked at Meng Yanzhi with a half-smile.

He wasn't a fool. If he still didn't understand Meng Yanzhi's plans at this point, then he would have truly wasted all these years of his life.

Meng Yanzhi didn't care whether her father knew or not. She just smiled faintly and said, "It's all thanks to Father's guidance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a good life today. I should thank Father."

"Are you speaking from the heart?" Father Meng raised an eyebrow and looked at Meng Yanzhi: "Although you have become a Noble Consort, you must not forget that you are a daughter of the Meng family, and the blood of the Meng family flows in your veins. This must never change, no matter what."

"The inner palace and the imperial court are closely intertwined. If your maternal family is not powerful enough, how far can you go relying on His Majesty's favor?"
