Everyone in my harem is talented

Chapter 153 Strange

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang came to say that His Majesty will be here later." Qinghe knocked on the door of the study of the eldest princess Qin Ronglu in the back hall and reported loudly.

"I understand. You guys should get ready first."

"Yes, your majesty, I'll take my leave." After reporting, Qinghe ran away like a gust of wind.

"Weixia, go to the front and help me watch. Come back and call me when the time is almost up." Meng Wuyue ordered.

"Yes, your majesty, I'll go right away." Weixia nodded and left.

"Mother, aren't you going to wait in front?"

Qin Ronglu paused while painting, and a drop of ink fell from the brush, but Qin Ronglu didn't care.

"Don't worry. Your father should still be reviewing memorials right now. It's not that fast. Just continue with your painting. Change this ink spot into a peony. I'll teach you. Your mother's mother also taught me this way." Meng Wu Yue said softly.

"In the past, my mother would go to the front hall to watch over everything and arrange every detail." Qin Ronglu retorted with a frown.

"In my mother's heart, Ronglu is the most important." Meng Wuyue smiled lightly and said softly.

"In Ronglu's heart, his mother is the most important." Qin Ronglu put down his paintbrush, reached out and held Meng Wuyue's hand and gently pressed it against his chest, his eyes full of sincerity and heartache.

"When my mother was in charge of the Phoenix Seal and managed the harem, she had to be more careful! She was afraid that someone would catch her doing something wrong or say that she was not doing a good job. She was not able to lead by example and win the support of others.

Now that there is a queen in the palace, my mother is also happy to relax. If she relaxes, won't she be able to..."

Qin Ronglu shook his head.

She is not stupid.

These are clearly two different things.

She was talking about her mother's attitude towards her father, while her mother was talking about her attitude towards doing things.

Her mother was not like this after the Empress Dowager entered the palace. She could feel that her mother seemed to be afraid of her father?

why?

"Mother, why don't you give Ronglu a younger brother soon? Ronglu is almost nine years old, and he will be a marriageable girl in a few years. If Ronglu gets married and you give birth to a younger brother, I won't be able to stay with you and help you take care of him."

Qin Ronglu pretended to complain.

"You are so shameless! How can an eight-year-old girl talk about getting married and having children? Also, my mother's Ronglu is a princess, and when a princess gets married it's not called getting married, it's called marrying.

When Ronglu starts a family, won't you go back to the palace to visit your mother? There are so many servants in the palace, why would you need to take care of your brother personally?"

Meng Wuyue poked Qin Ronglu's forehead with his index finger and said in a gentle voice.

"Mother!" Qin Ronglu put down his paintbrush, moved forward and sat beside Meng Wuyue, hugged her waist and acted coquettishly.

"Fifth aunt said she wanted to marry Concubine Hui's brother, why didn't you help her? Why did she say you were cruel?"

"What do you mean by Hui Guipin's younger brother? Don't get used to calling him that. He is your uncle."

"Okay, uncle, so why?" Qin Ronglu asked puzzledly.

"The Meng family sent me a letter a long time ago, saying that your uncle was annoyed by your fifth aunt and came to the mansion for help.

Father is very optimistic about your uncle's talent and does not want him to be forced to marry the eldest princess and be unable to serve as an official, which would affect his future. "

"Which Meng Mansion?"

"Which other Meng family could it be? There is only one Meng family now, and your legitimate maternal family is Lord Meng Songmeng, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple."

"Shouldn't Lord Meng stand firmly on mother's side?" Qin Ronglu said somewhat unhappily.

“It’s true that I’m his daughter, but Hoshino is also his nephew, and the bloodline is inseparable.

What's more, Xingye has a sister who has a prince, and now she is a noble concubine with a bright future. Although I am a noble concubine, I have no children. Is there any need to hesitate about who to choose?"

"Mother is too pessimistic. Doesn't my grandmother often come to the palace to see you and Ronglu? I can feel that my grandmother really likes mother and Ronglu.

Moreover, Ronglu heard that Lord Meng was an upright gentleman and a good official, so how could he have such thoughts? A villain is concerned with profit, while a gentleman is concerned with righteousness.

How can one be considered a gentleman if one is surrounded by mediocre people? "

“Father is indeed an upright gentleman, so he would not consider my thoughts.

Besides, father is now the leader of the Meng family. After taking the position of the de facto head of the family, he must always consider the future of the family members more."

“As for saying that I’m cruel, your fifth aunt might have been certain that I would take revenge on your aunt and uncle.

She has taken a fancy to your uncle. If he marries her, his future and career will be ruined. I am unwilling to help her. I guess she thinks I want more than just ruining your uncle's career."
