On this day, Empress Meng left Sheng Weiqiao to let Sheng Weiqiao go when the palace gate was about to be locked, and made a joke when parting: "I almost forgot! Mizhen is my nephew, you are his fiancée, that is my prospective niece and daughter-in-law! You still call me 'Qinglang', it's really unruly! Hurry up, shout 'aunt' to listen!"

Sheng Weiqiao scolded with a smile: "I won't shout! I'm only two months older than me, Mizhen is older than you, and I'm still 'aunt', and I'm not afraid to call you old?"

The queen said: "It's okay, this palace is only sixteen, what are you afraid of?"

"Don't shout!" Sheng Weiqiao smiled and messed with her, "After all, it's no good to shout at this time!"

"Look at your snobbish appearance!" Queen Meng pretended to be angry, "I will ask someone to make a purse inlaid with gold and jade, and fill it with stones, and when you get married, you will come to the palace to ask for peace, and stuff it for you to do a good job!

Sheng Weiqiao said with a smile: "This person is really stupid, they are all purses inlaid with gold and jade, isn't this benefit a purse?

These words are snickering left and right.

Queen Meng couldn't hold back and pointed to the palace gate: "Let's go, let's go, you abrasive girl...... Otherwise, I can only live after the palace door is locked, I don't care, Brother Crane outside is in a hurry!"

"What!" Sheng Weiqiao saw that she took out the joke she had just heard to make fun of herself, so she was a little anxious, stomped her feet, and snorted, "You are the queen mother, you have to be dignified and reserved!

Empress Meng was serious: "The people of this palace have always been the mother of the world, and it is obvious to all! Lord Kangzhao County, do you think that you can slander this palace with your empty words alone?!"

“…… You people!" Sheng Weiqiao couldn't cry or laugh, "Forget it, for the sake of the early time...... I'm really leaving, I'll come back to see you in two days!"

Seeing her back disappear on the palace road, the smile on the corner of the queen's mouth gradually faded, turned around and went back to the palace, and ordered the door to be closed left and right.

This time, the queen did not enter the main hall, but went to the warm pavilion next to it, and Chunlai said when she entered the door: "The agarwood drink that Niangniang has always loved to drink, the small kitchen has just made it, is it brought over now?"

When she asked for instructions like this, she was already ready to ask the little palace maid to do it.

"Then wait and talk!" Empress Meng waved her hand, glanced at the waiters outside Chunlai, and waited for them to quit in an interesting way, before she whispered, "You go to the corner door and go outside to talk to the guards......

She frowned and hesitated for a moment before she said, "Let Sheng Xi come to the Warm Pavilion to see the palace at night!"

Chunlai was shocked when he heard this: "Niangniang, this ......?"

"Where do you want to go?" Empress Meng said busily, "This palace is listening to some of what Kang Zhao said today, and I want to ask him something serious...... Is Hongu that kind of person?!"

Chunlai said in fear: "But Sheng Xi is not an internal servant, these three watches in the middle of the night...... The Shu sisters have many ears and eyes, what if you can trust the slave and maid, or let the slave and maid pass the word?"

"This palace asks you, who is Sheng Xi?" Queen Meng pinched her eyebrows, and said patiently, "Although he is now the guard of our Wangchun Palace, in the final analysis, it is the King of Mizhen County who came out, right? In this way, they are afraid, but they are afraid that it will be too late to help cover up!"

This sounds reasonable, but Chunlai is still worried: "Niangniang, is it important what you want to say? If it is not really urgent, can you say it again tomorrow?"

She was in a hurry, "It's broad daylight tomorrow, we can also find an excuse to call Sheng Xi's guards into the palace to talk! Although it is more eye-catching during the day, it is because the county lord of Kangzhao has only come to the palace to see you today." Let's tell the outside world when the time comes, it was the county lord who brought something and told Sheng Xi to guard. Since the county lord left too late today, we didn't have time to hand it over, so we just asked Sheng Xi's guards to pick it up during the day...... Wouldn't this not damage the reputation of the mother?"

Queen Meng wanted to summon Gongsun Xi overnight, but she was actually impulsive, and she was persuaded by her at this time, and she felt that it would be successful.

Then he nodded: "Then you will do it tomorrow...... Don't let anyone else know!"

Chunlai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and bent his knees and said, "The slave obeys the order!"

…… In a blink of an eye, the next day, around noon, Chunlai really led Gongsun Xi to the side hall: "Yesterday, the county lord of Kangzhao entered the palace to meet the queen's mother, brought you something, and also brought a few words, because the county lord talked to the mother about the palace door was about to be locked before retreating, and the mother was tired, so he didn't summon you." ”

Gongsun Xi said expressionlessly: "There are Lao Niangniang and Chunlai Girl." ”

When Chunlai heard this, he looked at him a few times, Gongsun Xi's appearance was not as beautiful as Rong Sleeping Crane, nor was it as delicate as Li Shengxu's male and female expression, nor was it Meng Guiyu's magnificent appearance, he was the kind of delicate and fair-skinned neighbor, this seemingly harmless but beautiful appearance was originally the easiest to gain favor and easy to trust.

But because of his long years of silence, the gloom between his eyebrows makes the whole person shrouded in a lifeless and even gloomy temperament, so that after ordinary people see it, even if they don't think much about it, they will subconsciously avoid him.

At this moment, this person is wearing the uniform costume of the guards of Wangchun Palace, a plain robe with a black bottom, a thin scale armor, a leather belt around his waist, a slash knife, and a soap towel wrapped around his head. This dress was supposed to be majestic and serious, but he was forced to wear it out of the yin owl and coldness.

"Niangniang shouldn't like such a person, right?" Chunlai muttered in his heart, "Probably not...... Even if Niangniang was unhappy when she was in the Meng family, she didn't have a chance to accept favor when she entered the palace, but in the end, she had seen a really handsome and elegant man from the king of Mizhen County, how could she fall in love with him?"

Chunlai half speculated that he was comforting himself, "It is estimated that the county lord of Kangzhao passed something important yesterday on behalf of the king of Mizhen County, so Niangniang wanted to tell him alone." ”

Despite this, the queen, who is only twenty-eight years old and has been widowed since her marriage, suddenly wants to summon a young and unmarried guard, and she really can't think about it as a confidant palace maid.

Chunlai mood is very heavy led Gongsun Xi into the side hall, this side hall is divided into two rooms, the outside of the layout is similar to the ordinary hall, but there is a phoenix seat on behalf of the queen's identity, there is a screen behind the phoenix seat, a pair of bottles and other decorations such as one person high, it is used to entertain guests and ordinary summons; if you turn the screen, you can see that there is a small door on the wall behind it, and it is the inner room when you enter.

The place here is not big, but it is the size of the inner room of the ordinary boudoir, with a sleeping couch, a dressing table, and a toilet, and a relatively narrow soft couch is placed by the window, and a few small ones are placed on it, and there is a jade pot spring bottle on a few places, and two newly folded plums are inserted in the bottle, which dyes the whole room with a layer of faint cold incense.

When Gongsun Xi stepped into the outer room, he didn't see Queen Meng, and thought that the queen hadn't come yet.

After pointing to the screen, he said lightly: "You go in by yourself, Niangniang wants to talk to you alone." ”

Seeing Gongsun Xi's expression of surprise, she hooked the corners of her mouth without a smile, "It should be entrusted by the county lord of Kangzhao...... You'll find out when you go in. ”

"That's where the mother rests. But when Gongsun Xi heard this, he didn't move, but looked at her, "I don't dare to step in alone." ”

He didn't say this necessarily because he had much respect for the palace rules, let alone much respect for Queen Meng, but because he was used to the trick of framing when he was on Tortoiseshell Island, he was worried that this was a trap set by Meng or the queen...... After all, who knows what's inside?

What if it's a poorly dressed palace maid or something?

Chunlai didn't think about it so much, and thought that he respected the rules, but his impression of him was better, and said: "You don't have to worry, this is Niangniang's order, because what you want to say is very important, so leave me outside for you to guard." ”

But seeing that Gongsun Xi still didn't move, he had to say, "Forget it, I'll bring it in, and then come out." ”

So he led him in, and the inner room at a glance was indeed Queen Meng sitting on the narrow couch under the window, although there was a window in the room, there was no door to the outer room, and if you wanted to enter and exit, you could only go through the door of the side hall.

Gongsun Xi let go of a little bit at this time, because the Meng family finally made Meng Biyun the queen, and it was impossible to let Meng Biyun go in order to frame him as a small guard.

After Chunlai quietly retreated, he bowed and saluted according to the rules: "I don't know what the queen's mother has to call for her humble position?"

Empress Meng adjusted her sitting posture when they came in, supported her chin at the moment, and stared at him with a complicated expression for a long time before saying, "No courtesy." ”

After Gongsun Xi straightened up and stood with her eyebrows down, she was silent for a while before she asked quietly, "What should I call you?"

Gongsun Xi didn't know why: "What do you mean by this?"

"Is it my Wangchun Palace's guard Sheng Xi?" continued Empress Meng faintly, "Or...... The little prince who is outcast, your biological mother, Xiao Wen, once named you Xi'er?"

Gongsun Xi's pupils contracted suddenly, and after a while, he said lightly: "Niangniang, what you said, I don't understand what you say." From a humble background, he said that the little prince was slow to speak, and even the little prince had never done it. ”

"I know you may not be willing to admit it!" Empress Meng pinched her forehead a little upset, and said, "The reason why I called you over is to remind you of one thing: a few days ago, you entered the palace where Xiao Wen's lived at night to worship...... This matter has already been known to the Meng family!"
