The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Chapter 805: The Impotent Emperor Gave Birth to a Son

He coughed dryly and said vaguely, "The court is in trouble right now, and the Queen has always been jealous. I naturally don't want to wrong Yao'er, but at the moment, what position do you think is appropriate for me, Minister Meng?"

They are all smart people. Doesn't Minister Meng understand the emperor's hint? What about the turmoil in the court and the queen's jealousy? In the end, isn't it not appropriate to give him a huge reward?

But these are all minor matters. The queen has been childless for many years. No matter what position Meng Wen Yao holds, as long as she gives birth to a prince in the future, she will be able to compete with the queen. What's more, the queen has no family, while the Meng family is a prominent family.

He only bowed and said modestly: "My daughter is naughty. It is a great honor for her ancestors to be able to serve the emperor. Any position is given by the emperor. I think even if my daughter becomes a palace maid serving tea, everyone in my Meng family will feel extremely honored."

This attitude made the emperor very satisfied. He was still worried that Minister Meng would insist on fighting for a high position for his daughter and then compete with the queen.

At this critical moment, if the Meng family can keep a low profile, he will save himself a lot of trouble. As long as he has time and the Meng family doesn't have to fight for it, he will help Meng Wen Yao clean up the former court and the harem.

He smiled and said, "My dear minister, you are open-minded. I believe that the daughter you raise must have the virtue of a concubine. I will never let Yaoer suffer for too long."

Meng Wen Yao in the room had no idea about the agreement the two people outside had reached. She thought they were discussing her position. Thinking that she would become the only concubine in the harem, she would go to pay her respects to the queen tomorrow and would not be criticized by Diao Na.

Who knew that when the emperor came in, he smiled and said, "Your father said that since you just entered the palace, in order not to attract attention, your position should not be too high. He is really a kind father. I am afraid that I have wronged Yaoer. What position do you want?"

The emperor smiled kindly, but Meng Wen Yao knew clearly in her heart that if the emperor really wanted to give a high position and still cared about the resignation of his subject, this was just a test.

It turned out that even after sleeping with her for one night, the emperor still didn't really put her at the top of his heart, and he was even unwilling to give her a higher title.

She smiled submissively and acted humble. It was just a test, and everyone would do that.

"Being able to serve the emperor is already the best fate for me. I don't want any title. I just want to be by your side."

There is only one queen in the palace. No matter whether she is a talented and beautiful woman or a concubine or an imperial concubine, what difference does it make? They are all just concubines and will definitely become a thorn in the queen's eyes.

When she is unable to strike the Queen accurately, or truly get into the heart of the Emperor, she still has to develop in a sneaky way, serving the Emperor as a personal maid, and having an affair under the Queen's nose, which has a unique flavor.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, the emperor's eyes lit up. He bent down his tall body, gently embraced Meng Wenyao in his arms, and said emotionally: "You really don't care about your status?"

"Having a loyal person is enough. I don't want anything else."

Yes, the woman in his arms must have been badly hurt by Chen Dingbei. Now she only cares about emotions and not authority, otherwise she would not be so unwilling to marry Mingshi.

The emperor thought about his journey, how he had been servile before the empress dowager for power, and now that he had power, how many people also bowed down to him for power.

In this palace, or even in this world, there are few people who don’t live for more benefits and power.

Now, there is an exception in his arms. She can obviously ask for whatever she wants from him, but in the end she doesn't want anything and just wants to be with him. Even if she is an ordinary rich boy, it would be difficult to find someone who only wants sincerity like this.

God has tortured him for so long, is he finally going to be kind to him?

The emperor hugged Meng Wenyao tightly and said in a low voice: "Your wish will definitely come true."

From then on, the Meng family lost a daughter and the palace had an extra maid serving tea. No one paid attention to these things, except for the Zhenyuan Marquis' family who were uneasy.

"Have you found out whether Meng Wen Yao was granted marriage?" asked the wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan.

After spending a lot of money and making inquiries from many sources, Marquis Zhenyuan shook his head. There was no news from the palace at all. Only Minister Meng left the emperor's bedroom and was given a sedan chair to return home. They had no way of knowing whether Meng Wen Yao was in the sedan chair.

"This is strange. If the emperor granted the marriage, he would have just announced it directly. If he didn't grant the marriage, why did the Meng family hide Meng Wenyao? What is there to hide from others?"

The wife of the Marquis of Zhenyuan muttered something, and then said, "Why don't we send a visiting card to the Meng family and take the opportunity to find out more."

The father and son of Marquis Zhenyuan looked at each other and shook their heads. In the palace, they had completely offended Minister Meng. It would be strange if the Meng family was willing to see them if they handed in a visiting card at this time.

But this matter was of great importance. After discussing for a long time, several people finally decided that Chen Dingbei would go to find Mingyuan to see if he could find out anything.

"Are you going to be involved with Mingyuan again?"

Ever since Chen Dingbei rejected Minister Meng, he had a vague idea that he might have nothing to do with Meng Wen Yao in this life, and he began to feel uncomfortable belatedly.

If he was close to Mingyuan before, it was because he knew that Meng Wenyao was waiting for him behind him, and he could decide the direction of his life at any time.

Now that there was no possibility for him to be with Meng Wen Yao at all, and there was only Ming Yuan in front of him, he gradually realized in his heart that he really didn't like Ming Yuan, and he couldn't even pretend to please her at the beginning.

The daughter of a prince who came from a remote borderland, her temperament and habits are different from those of the young ladies from aristocratic families in the capital, and even her personality is awkward, with a sense of both inferiority and arrogance.

No matter how Chen Dingbei thought about it, he was repulsed in his heart: "When the Queen Mother was here, didn't Mother have an aunt in the palace who was on good terms with her? Is she looking for someone to ask?"

"Alas, since the Queen Mother left, several batches of old people in the palace have been released. Now there are only two old people around the Queen, and the rest are new faces."

"Dingbei."

Zhenyuan Hou said seriously: "We must stay away from Mingyuan, but the current matter concerns our family. If we don't know the inside story, the whole family will become passive. You don't like Mingyuan for one thing, and using her to get information is another."

There was absolutely no choice left. Chen Dingbei got on the carriage to Prince Jing's Mansion with a heavy heart.

When she arrived at Prince Jing's mansion, Mingyuan thought that Chen Dingbei came to discuss marriage with her, and she was very proud. Even though the matter was brought to the attention of the emperor, and Meng Wenyao pretended to faint in the end, Chen Dingbei still chose her.

"Please invite the prince in."

As soon as Chen Dingbei walked in, Mingyuan complained, "Brother Dingbei, the emperor and the queen are now discussing your marriage. Once your marriage is settled, my marriage should be on the agenda."

She happily hinted to Chen Dingbei to find an opportunity to ask the emperor for a marriage as this was not something she could ask for in person.

After waiting for a long time with his head down shyly, he still didn't get Chen Dingbei's answer. When Mingyuan looked up, he saw Chen Dingbei's face was pale and his body was swaying. He asked, "Is your brother going to be granted marriage?"
