Meishu lowered her eyes slightly while wiping away her tears. There was uncontrollable hatred in the depths of her watery pupils. What a supreme ruler! He didn't even remember the sins he had committed.
Why, just because he is the emperor, the lives of the people of the world are treated as worthless and worse than animals!
Holding back her deep hatred, Mei Shu snuggled in the arms of Emperor Mingzheng. The carriage had already left the city unknowingly. About half an hour later, it turned onto the mountain road of Xiaojunmei Mountain and stopped in front of a small courtyard in the back mountain.
The eunuch opened the carriage curtain and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Madam Concubine Shu, we are here."
Emperor Mingzheng got off the carriage first, then extended his hand to Meishu. Meishu took Emperor Mingzheng's hand and got off the carriage. Seeing the little white balls moving in the yard, a smile immediately broke out on her pretty face, and she walked briskly into the yard.
When Emperor Mingzheng saw the smile on her face, he also felt relieved. "I know that my beloved concubine is thinking about these rabbits, so I specially accompany you to see them today."
Meishu pushed open the courtyard door and saw a little rabbit squatting on the ground. Meishu squatted down and touched the rabbit, then smiled back at Emperor Mingzheng, "Your Majesty is so good to me."
This smile was lively and brilliant, like the rising sun that parted the clouds, so breathtaking. Behind Meishu were towering green mountains. Emperor Mingzheng was mesmerized and thought that the fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace that people often talked about was no more than this.
He walked to Mei Shu in two or three steps, smiled gently and said, "As expected, you are happier outside the palace. I have never seen you smile like this in the palace."
Meishu lowered her eyes and said nothing. Emperor Mingzheng was filled with tenderness at the moment, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty. If it weren't for him, Meishu would still be staying freely in the mountains, like a fairy, untainted by the mundane world, and would never have suffered grievances in the palace.
This trace of guilt prompted Emperor Mingzheng to show more love and care for her.
Although there were many beauties in the palace, he had welcomed those women into the palace in the past mostly for the purpose of consolidating his own position and balancing the power of the previous dynasty.
Although he had been a bit indulgent in the past few years, he would lose interest in those new women brought into the palace after only three months of favor. Meishu was different from them. Her face was so beautiful that it made people's heart itch, and Emperor Mingzheng liked her very much.
At this time, Mei Shu lowered her head and touched the rabbit's smooth fur, and said in a low voice, "I know that your majesty brought me out today because of the palace banquet tomorrow. Imperial Concubine Xue is pregnant, and since the palace banquet is held for her tomorrow, I will not show up. I don't want the Imperial Concubine to see me and ruin her mood."
After hearing this, Emperor Mingzheng felt that she was very sensible. Although she had suffered a lot of grievances, she was never jealous like those women in the palace, which made him annoyed.
"Shu'er, after a while, I will make you a noble concubine. By then, your position will not be lower than Xue Rong's, and you won't have to care about her opinion."
Mei Shu glared at Emperor Mingzheng and said, "I don't care about this at all. As long as I can be by your side, it doesn't matter what position I hold."
Emperor Mingzheng was power-hungry and didn't like people around him who were obsessed with power. Meishu's indifference to fame and fortune really made him feel at ease. He said, "You don't care, but I don't want to let you down."
The rabbits in the yard seemed to recognize Meishu, and soon they all ran to her side. A group of snow-white rabbits surrounded Meishu. Meishu took the grass outside the yard to feed them, and from time to time she hugged the rabbits that were rubbing against her feet.
"The nuns from Lianxi Temple have been taking care of them all this time. Your Majesty, I will go to Lianxi Temple to thank the nuns." Meishu put down the rabbit in her arms and spoke softly to Emperor Mingzheng.
In order to gain immortality, Emperor Mingzheng now only believed in Taoism and seldom set foot in Buddhism. Upon hearing this, he raised his hand to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch understood what he meant and took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve and handed them to Meishu with both hands.
Mei Shu looked at Emperor Ming Zheng, who smiled and said, "Since they have taken care of your pets, they should be rewarded. These can be considered as incense money."
Mei Shu took the banknote and said, "Your Majesty is really thoughtful. I would like to thank you on behalf of the nuns."
Emperor Mingzheng kissed her on the cheek and said, "I love you. Go ahead."
Meishu blushed slightly and said shyly, "I'll be back soon."
