Princess Meng Qingqian of Xiaoyue, who holds great power and is high above everyone else, is not actually free.

Not only do she have to deal with too many memorials to handle every day, but she also has to hold meetings of all sizes. She even has to help officials from the Meng camp deal with conflicts between each other.

Most of the time, she has to work until late at night, reading various memorials and writing comments. Whether to pass, revise, or reject for reconsideration, she has to consider carefully. Many times, Han will deliberately argue with her. Just a document in a major event makes the whole thing in a mess.

It was already late at night in the palace. Meng Qingqian walked to her mother's bedroom and whispered, "Is mother asleep?"

At this time, the queen mother naturally went to bed. However, the queen mother also knew her daughter's character. She would not come to the palace for no reason. At this time, there must be something big.

"Qingqian, come in quickly. Is there anything you want to discuss with your mother?"

Meng Qingqian nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning court, please arrange a reliable maid, dress better, to sit in my seat."

"Why?"

"Mother, I plan to leave the palace to see Fan Yu."

Although the princess has to hold various meetings every day, the most important one is undoubtedly the daily morning court.

When the queen mother was regent, she sat behind the curtain behind the emperor's dragon throne. Later, she gave power to the princess, and the princess sat next to the queen mother behind the curtain.

The curtain was not thick, and two figures could be seen faintly, in order to give the ministers an invisible sense of oppression.

The princess was diligent, and after regent, she never missed the morning court every day.

This time she went out of the palace to see Fan Yu, in order to conceal it, Meng Qingqian naturally had to find a substitute to sit there for her. This not only did not break her rule of not missing the morning court, but also confused Prime Minister Han's power.

It was not difficult to find a palace maid, but the Queen Mother did not understand why her daughter wanted to meet a general who had resigned long ago.

"Qingqian, why did you go to find Fan Yu?"

"Mother, my Meng family is most in need of military power. If General Fan Yu can come out again, gather the Chu family army, and serve my Meng family. Then three years later, when the Han family and I hand over power to the emperor, there will be no worry of mutiny."

Meng Qingqian paused and added: "Moreover, Nanzhu doesn't have to marry He Yunxiao in exchange for the help of Wu Qinghou."

The queen mother was stunned for a moment, blinked and said: "Don't rush to make a decision for Nanzhu, what if she wants to marry He Yunxiao?"

Meng Qingqian said: "Mother, Nanzhu is simple by nature, how could she like a playboy with bad behavior like He Yunxiao?"

The queen mother said: "This palace thinks Yunxiao is very sensible, how can he be bad? You are not young anymore. If you don't need to supervise the country, you really can't get married. How can mother let this good thing of marriage fall on Nanzhu's head?"

Marrying He Yunxiao is a good thing...

Meng Qingqian knows her mother's character best.

Sometimes, she even felt that Nanzhu was her mother's biological daughter.

Her mother liked to rely on her feelings and intuition when judging people and doing things.

She heard that He Yunxiao was handsome and extraordinary, so she probably made a random decision based on his appearance.

Meng Qingqian understood that it was absolutely unreliable to marry someone based on appearance.

Getting married, especially for a princess of the royal family, requires many considerations. Personal factors such as appearance and feelings are the least important things to consider. Which dynasty's princesses married for the benefit of the entire royal family?

Meng Qingqian asked herself that she still cared about her sister Meng Qingrou, but if Fan Yu could not be invited, the Meng family's predicament could not be solved. At that time, if she needed to leave her sister to He Yunxiao, she would not hesitate.

Royal children usually enjoy preferential treatment, and naturally they should also put the royal family first at critical moments.

For herself, Meng Qingqian only hoped that after handing over power to the emperor, she could shave her head and become a nun, and from then on be free and never ask about worldly affairs.

As for getting married and raising children, she had never considered it.

Having been in a high position for a long time, she had seen many so-called outstanding people. The more she saw, the more disappointed she was with them.

Meng Qingqian did not believe in Buddhism and became a nun just because she was disappointed. Because there was no man in this world who was qualified to be close to her or even sleep with her.

This time when she left the palace, Meng Qingqian did not bring her personal guards, but only Jian Ling.

Jian Ling specializes in swordsmanship and has reached the peak of the ninth grade. With her protection, she can match a whole team of personal guards. There are too many female servants, which is too ostentatious. Now it is inconvenient to act in secret.

Since Lujiao Academy is basically full of men, in order not to attract attention, the two had to disguise themselves as men and sneak into the academy to meet Fan Yu.

The reason why Meng Qingqian was so cautious was that she must not let Han know about meeting Fan Yu.

It is difficult to invite someone to go out of the mountain, but it is very simple not to let someone go out of the mountain. If Han knew that she had gone to see General Fan, then this matter would be almost hopeless.

Jian Ling's face was not feminine, and it was very suitable for a woman to dress up as a man, and there was almost no sense of disobedience. With a sword spirit, he was naturally a swordsman who traveled the world.

But Meng Qingqian was miserable.

Apart from other things, it was very difficult to deal with the pair of disobedient breasts.

She wrapped her chest with several layers of wraps and matched them with loose clothes to make her look more normal.

Even so, after she put on men's clothes, her feminine and beautiful facial features could not be changed, and with her fair and delicate skin, she felt that she could not deceive people at all.

In desperation, she applied some yellow powder to make her face less beautiful and white, so that she looked a bit like an ordinary young man.

The two sat in the carriage that the palace maids would sit in when they went out to buy things on weekdays, and secretly went to Lujiao Academy.

In the car, Meng Qingqian asked: "Jian Ling, do I look like a man?"

"It doesn't look like that."

Meng Qingqian frowned and said: "I'm not like a man, so I can't be too ostentatious. In this way, after entering the academy, I will find a secluded place to wait, and you can find Fan Yu to meet me."

"good."

When they arrived at the gate of Lujiao Academy, Meng Qingqian was worried about the problems she would expose, so she didn't dare to stay too long. She got out of the car and walked towards the academy.

As soon as he entered the academy gate, he heard the disciples starting to talk about He Yunxiao.

Even though she had long heard that He Yunxiao was extremely handsome, she had no intention of looking back. No matter how handsome he looks, he is just skin.

She seized this rare opportunity to go unnoticed and whispered: "Jian Ling, someone has distracted our attention. Let's go quickly."

"good."

The two quickened their pace and soon disappeared into the quiet lanes of the academy.

After finding a secluded and uninhabited place, Jian Ling said goodbye to the eldest princess and went to invite General Fan Yufan alone.

Meng Qingqian stood alone on the deserted path. Even though it was a rare opportunity to leave the palace, at this moment, she did not dare to relax at all and was still thinking about the situation in the court.

Only a moment passed before Meng Qingqian felt exhausted.

She didn't know when she started to develop a bad habit, that is, she had to eat something sweet when she was thinking. If not, you won't be able to plan with all your heart.

But this time I left the palace in such a hurry that I didn't even have time to bring some candied fruits.

Fortunately, there is always a way out.

There are sweet fruits on the trees next to the path.

Meng Qingqian raised her head and raised her chest, looked around, and found that no one was there. Then she walked to the tree and stood on tiptoes to reach for the fruits on the tree.

It's just that she overestimated herself.

Even if he stood on tiptoes, he could barely grasp the branches.

She is definitely not short, her net height is close to 1.7 meters, and even taller with her shoes on. It's just that the trees in the academy grow well, and are much taller and more lush than those elsewhere.

But this didn't bother her. Ripe fruits always sway uncontrollably. On weekdays, they will fall a lot when the wind blows.

Meng Qingqian shook the branch, but found that the branch was not giving any face at all, and not a single fruit could be shaken.

After confirming again that there was no one around her, she became bolder.

He simply shook it hard.

This time it really worked, and the fruit fell like rain for a while.

One without eyes hit her smooth forehead directly.

"Ouch! It hurts."

Meng Qingqian rubbed his forehead and cursed at the fruit tree: "Bad thing, hit me, right?"

Anyway, this place was not a palace and no one saw it, so she acted like a child, picked up some broken fruits, and buried them under another tree.

After doing this, she felt much better. The long-standing frustration due to political affairs has also dissipated somewhat.

Meng Qingqian simply stopped thinking about family and country affairs, and just wanted to do whatever he wanted to do.

Like an ordinary girl, she picked up a fruit, wiped it briefly, and put it in her mouth.

Feeling the sweetness filling her mouth, Meng Qingqian felt better.

Have another one.

she thinks.

So I ate another one.

Ate another one.

Until a malicious core appeared where it shouldn't.

The feeling of suffocation occupied all her consciousness for a moment.

Cough cough cough!

So sad……

I haven't met General Fan yet...I can't...

Even at this time, she was still weighing the situation in Da Qi.

Just when Meng Qingqian fell into confusion and despair, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and instantly pulled her back from the road to the underworld.

A male voice sounded like the sound of nature.

"This girl... is a classmate of my class. Are you okay?"

His heart, which was racing because he was in a life crisis just now, has not yet calmed down.

Meng Qingqian looked up, and He Yunxiao's handsome face and caring expression came into her eyes instantly and were firmly engraved in her mind.

For some unknown reason, her racing heart still had no intention of stopping.

At this moment, the subconscious defeated the reason and briefly took over Meng Qingqian's consciousness.

She had only experienced this feeling of handsomeness, integrity and reliability from two men in her life. So subconsciously, she thought that the man who saved her was the late emperor who could withstand the heavy burden of Qi for her, but had passed away.

Meng Qingqian couldn't help but murmured: "Father..."
