Chapter 116 I Won't Change Those Clothes
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”
When Cui Zhe turned around, he saw the emperor and the empress walking towards him.
Meng Mingyu also saw it, and immediately let go of Cui Zhe's hand and quickly lowered his head.
"Sister, I've seen it."
Meng Mingshu walked forward, staring at Cui Zhe: "So it's you."
Cui Zhe lowered his head and was about to salute, but was stopped by Xiao Yan again.
"Today, there is no distinction between king and minister."
"Let's go talk on the boat."
Xiao Yan looked at the few people and spoke.
As soon as Meng Mingshu and Meng Mingyao got on the boat, they surrounded their eldest sister. They went into a cabin and blocked Xiao Yan and others outside.
Xiao Yan clenched his fist and coughed: "Let's go, let the sisters talk among themselves."
Cui Zhe was a little nervous: "Will Your Majesty misunderstand me?"
Cui Zhe noticed that the queen seemed to dislike him a little.
Xiao Yan patted Cui Zhe's shoulder and said, "Who told you to kidnap her sister?"
Cui Zhe was younger than him. If he married Meng Mingshu's elder sister, from the perspective of secular ethics, they would be brothers-in-law, and Cui Zhe would even be his brother-in-law.
"You're quite quiet."
Xiao Yan glanced at Cui Zhe and asked, "How did you get together?"
Cui Zhe's face turned red and he was speechless.
————
"Eldest sister, when did the incident between you and Cui Zhe happen?" Meng Mingshu asked.
Meng Mingyu lowered her head, blushing, "Some time ago."
"Is he good to you?"
This is the issue that Meng Mingshu is most concerned about.
Meng Mingyu nodded.
Seeing that her elder sister was obviously interested in Cui Zhe, Meng Mingshu did not ask any more questions. She was thinking about what kind of person Cui Zhe was.
Meng Mingshu didn't spend much time with Cui Zhe, but she knew that Cui Zhe was valued by Xiao Yan.
At the same time, Cui Zhe's family background is also very good. The Cui family is a prominent family.
But the Cui family is also the family with the strictest family rules and the most emphasis on etiquette in the entire capital.
Meng Mingshu had no doubts, and she knew very well that the Cui family would definitely not dare to oppose the relationship between Cui Zhe and her eldest sister.
Imperial power is imperial power.
When Xiao Yan was the crown prince and had not yet ascended the throne, the late emperor could drive them out of the capital with just a word, making it difficult for them to move forward.
Now that Xiao Yan is the emperor, no matter how self-important the Cui family is or how much they dislike her eldest sister, they dare not despise her for having been married before.
But what happens after you get married?
There are many ways to make things difficult for you in the harem, which may not be fatal, nor will they punish you.
But in that family, they can ignore you, treat you coldly, and make you feel uneasy and unable to express your suffering.
There's no way I can fit in.
"Eldest sister, do you really like Cui Zhe?"
Meng Mingshu asked directly.
The eldest sister raised her head, a look of trepidation on her jade-white face: "But is there anything that makes Ah Shu feel embarrassed?"
"If there is, I can..."
In Meng Mingyu's heart, she could live her whole life without getting married.
Meng Mingshu shook her head:
"Eldest sister, you're overthinking it. I'm already the queen now, so what can I possibly do to make things difficult for you?"
“You can do anything you want to do.”
"I just want to confirm my elder sister's feelings. If she has already decided on him, then I will ask the Cui family to come to the palace to see what the elders of Cui Zhe's family think."
Meng Mingyu's lips moved, and her eyes turned red:
"Thank you, Ah Shu."
"Actually, I didn't expect to marry him. Cui Zhe has a good family background and is highly valued by His Majesty, but he has never married or had children, and I..."
"If the Cui family doesn't want to, Ah Shu doesn't have to force anything for me.
Although I like him, I can still live a good life without him, and I still have you guys."
Meng Mingshu held her hand and said firmly:
"Eldest sister, you are the best woman in this world. It's not your fault that you met the wrong person before. You have done nothing wrong from beginning to end."
"It's not your fault that you married a second time. It's that beast's fault."
"Whether it's character, appearance, talent, or temperament, you're no less than Cui Zhe."
Meng Mingshu believes this from the bottom of her heart. In her heart, her sister is the best.
"In my opinion, it's Cui Zhe who's unworthy of you, not you. If he wants to marry you, he still has to pass the test of me and His Majesty."
Meng Mingyu held Meng Mingshu's hand and nodded with red eyes:
"Thank you, Ah Shu."
Meng Mingyao also spoke at this time, but his eyes were full of gossip:
"Eldest sister, elder sister, you haven't told me how you and Cui Zhe met."
Meng Mingyu's porcelain-white face turned red again.
"Before, Ah Shu was kidnapped by Li Shen and disappeared. When I was looking for information, I met him. He was kind enough to tell me the current search situation."
"Every day after work, he would come to see me and tell me the results and clues of the day, saying that he wanted to reassure me."
Meng Mingshu understood that this was how Cui Zhe hooked up with her sister.
At that time, she was nowhere to be found, and her elder sister must have been very anxious, so Cui Zhe took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
"After you were found, Cui Zhe still came to see me every day, and we..."
Meng Mingyao curled her lips:
"He must have been attracted by the beauty of the eldest sister."
———
"Ah Shu..."
Only after hearing Xiao Yan's voice outside did Meng Mingshu finally come out of the cabin.
"What's going on?"
Meng Mingshu held her waist, reluctantly.
Xiao Yan held her waist, carefully protecting her belly, and lowered his voice:
"You no longer have me in your eyes or in your heart."
Meng Mingshu nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
"You are not as important as my sister."
Although Xiao Yan knew that Meng Mingshu said this on purpose, he still felt a little jealous.
He gritted his teeth and whispered in Meng Mingshu's ear, "Wait for me after we return to the palace."
Meng Mingshu: “…”
She quickly hugged Xiao Yan's arm and softened her voice: "Ayan, husband...I was joking."
"You are just as important..."
Xiao Yan didn't dwell on this question any more, but just chuckled: "Okay."
But no matter how I look at it, I feel that this smile is a bit perfunctory.
A bad feeling flashed through Meng Mingshu's mind.
But the next second, her attention was drawn to the fireworks outside.
"Husband?"
Meng Mingshu turned around and looked at Xiao Yan, her eyes sparkling: "Did you put this there?"
In the dark night, countless fireworks exploded brilliantly on the river surface, like stars in the night sky falling instantly. The scene was so spectacular that even Meng Mingshu could not take her eyes off it.
Xiao Yan held her waist and nodded with a smile:
"Yeah, it's for you."
"Do you like it?"
Meng Mingshu nodded heavily.
Who doesn’t like beautiful things, especially since these are Xiao Yan’s thoughts.
After leaving the palace, Meng Mingshu was immersed in the splendor of fireworks and the bustle outside the palace until she returned.
"Husband, can you take me out of the palace after some time?"
Xiao Yan nodded: "Okay."
"But you have to tell me clearly, who do you like more, me or your sister?"
Meng Mingshu: “…”
"You, it's you."
Meng Mingshu didn't expect Xiao Yan to be so thoughtful that he was even jealous of her own sister.
"I don't believe it."
Meng Mingshu raised her head and kissed his Adam's apple:
"Husband, I really love you the most."
This will definitely calm me down.
Xiao Yan shook his head, his strong arms tightly wrapped around Meng Mingshu's soft body:
"It's not enough."
Meng Mingshu pouted:
"Then what will it take for you to take me out of the palace?"
Xiao Yan whispered his request in Meng Mingshu's ear in a low voice.
Meng Mingshu's face flushed red: "I don't want it."
But she had no control over many things at night. As soon as she returned to the palace, Meng Mingshu was taken to the dark room by Xiao Yan again.
There were many more clothes in the dark room this time, including extremely thin plain gauze skirts that could not cover anything.
Meng Mingshu blushed and kept beating Xiao Yan's chest: "I won't change those clothes."
Xiao Yan chuckled: "No need Ah Shu, I will help you change it."
