Chapter 279 Concubine, you dare?
Although that's what she said, Meng Yanzhi was still a little worried. After thinking for a moment, she still ordered Qingdao to go and check on Mingchu.
Qingdao didn't like Mingchu to begin with, and he never expected that he would have to worry about Meng Yanzhi while she was still in confinement after childbirth.
Qingdao stood there, hesitant to move, and said in a low voice with his head down, "Your Majesty, it's all between the two of them anyway. Why don't we just leave it alone? I think it's not a good thing for the young couple if outsiders interfere too much!"
Hearing this, Meng Yanzhi couldn't help but laugh and then asked, "You're not even married yet, and you already know all this about married couples? Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Go and keep an eye on things, don't let the Crown Prince hurt Mingchu!"
Although Qingdao was still reluctant, he nodded and turned to walk outside.
Meng Yanzhi sighed helplessly and then said, "I don't know why, but Qingdao just doesn't like Mingchu."
"I don't like her either, especially since you treat her so well. She doesn't deserve it at all."
Xiao Xingyuan also chose to tell the truth.
Since Ming Chu married the Crown Prince, Xiao Xingyuan has had no good feelings towards this little girl. After all, Meng Yanzhi was facing the double attack from the harem and the Meng family all by herself in the palace. If she were really a person of affection and righteousness, why would she choose to leave Meng Yanzhi at this time?
Meng Yanzhi never expected that Xiao Xingyuan would say such a thing!
After all, Xiao Xingyuan usually talks about national affairs. When did he become so interested in his youngest daughter's affairs?
Seeing Xiao Xingyuan's indignant expression, Meng Yanzhi was both amused and exasperated. She then said, "No, it's not like that. Actually, nothing else matters to me. I'm only happy when she's happy, and I can only be happy when she's happy."
"Rouge, I've always wanted to ask you, why?"
Why are you so kind to this little girl?
Xiao Xingyuan looked at Meng Yanzhi with a face full of incomprehension. Back in the Meng family, this little girl had caused quite a stir, and it was also because of this little girl that Meng Yanzhi completely fell out with Consort Liu.
But no matter how Xiao Xingyuan looked at him, he couldn't see anything special about this person.
"Actually, there's no particular reason. When I was with the Meng family, life was very difficult. We didn't have enough to eat or wear, and we were beaten."
"She would give me all her food and clothes, and even protect me when I was being beaten. To me, she is my sister, so I do anything for her willingly. I don't ask for anything else, I just hope that my Mingchu can live a good life!"
Meng Yanzhi did not lie to Xiao Xingyuan; she simply expressed her innermost thoughts.
In the past, Meng Yanzhi would never confide in anyone. In her previous life, it was because no one cared. In this life, it is because Meng Yanzhi does not trust anyone!
But things are different now; Meng Yanzhi can trust Xiao Xingyuan wholeheartedly.
She was willing to tell Xiao Xingyuan everything on her mind.
Xiao Xingyuan also keenly noticed this, so when he looked at Meng Yanzhi, his eyes became much gentler than before.
He smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then let's give her happiness."
For an emperor to give a woman happiness is incredibly simple; all it takes is providing her with status and position.
Fortunately, these were the things that mattered most to people in the early Ming Dynasty, so they should have been easily satisfied.
A small fishing village.
Xiao Ce found it hard to believe that Meng Yanzhi had grown up in such a small mountain village. Putting aside everything else, the scenery here was quite beautiful.
Following the address given by Meng Yanzhi, Xiao Ce easily found Ming Chu.
Although this was in a village, Meng Yanzhi had given Mingchu two maids to serve her, so her life was relatively easy.
Right now, I'm sitting in the yard making shoes for my future child.
When Mingchu saw Xiao Ce approaching, she was startled. She stood up and hurriedly covered her stomach, looking at him pitifully, "Your Highness."
"You've played long enough, let's go home."
Xiao Ce had prepared a lot to say, but now that he saw her big belly, he chose to say nothing and just wanted to take her back.
But Mingchu thought she was definitely going to lose her baby, so she started wailing, "No, Your Highness, please don't treat my child like this! This is your child, this is our child!"
"Yes, the child can be born. Once the Crown Princess is born, she can raise the child. You can visit the child from time to time!"
"Her Majesty the Empress has given birth to a daughter; you should go back and see her."
Xiao Ce agreed, stepped forward, gently took Ming Chu's hand, and unconsciously touched her belly.
Mingchu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and grabbed Xiao Ce's hand: "Miss gave birth? How could that be? It must have been premature, right? How could it be premature? Where is Miss? How is Miss?!"
"She's fine."
"I've been thinking about you, let's go."
Xiao Ce supported Ming Chu's waist, and they walked outside together.
Seeing this, Mingchu finally breathed a sigh of relief, then silently followed him into the carriage and returned to the capital.
After not seeing each other for several months, when Mingchu saw Meng Yanzhi again, he cried like a child.
"Miss, are you feeling very tired? Waaah, are you in a lot of pain?"
"Where's the child? May I see Miss's child?"
In the early Ming Dynasty, he held Meng Yanzhi and cried loudly.
Seeing Mingchu's pitiful appearance, Meng Yanzhi smiled gently, then took a handkerchief from the side and wiped away her tears, saying helplessly, "It's been so long since we last met, and you're already crying when you see me. What, do you really not want to see me?"
"Of course not!"
"Miss, actually I think about you every day!"
Ming Chu stared longingly at Meng Yanzhi, his eyes filled with the memory of four years.
Seeing Mingchu like this, Meng Yanzhi's eyes softened even more.
She smiled gently and then said, "His Majesty said that the child in your belly is his first grandson, so... he plans to make you the Crown Prince's concubine. With this status, your child will no longer be considered of humble origin, and no one will dare to say anything bad about him."
What?
Mingchu looked at Meng Yanzhi in disbelief, and after a long while, she finally spoke, "Miss... a concubine? I... I'm just a lowly servant, am I worthy?"
"Whether she's worthy or not is up to the Emperor to decide." Meng Yanzhi found her silly appearance incredibly cute and gently pinched her nose.
