Chapter 163: The Incomprehensible Empress Dowager Meng

When Empress Dowager Meng left, Mrs. Xiang also followed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the Queen Mother said with a pleasant face when she left: "The mourning family is old, and the appetite is always bad, you are young, don't use it slowly because the mourning family can't eat well." ”

But after sending these two out of the apse, not long after, Meng Shishi took the lead in taking a towel to wipe the corners of his mouth, and the palace people also brought the tea for gargling.

At this time, Chi Zuosi, who had accompanied the Queen Mother to leave, turned back, and when he saw this situation, he said: "Have you young ladies also used it?

Of course, everyone nodded, and Chi Zuosi turned to Sheng Weiwei again, and said with a smile, "The Queen Mother invites Miss Sheng Eight to go to the Warm Pavilion to talk, and Miss Eight please come with the concubine!"

Although Sheng Weiqiao was not at ease, it was as if the Nan family was stopped outside the palace gate this morning, and now the Empress Dowager Meng did not invite her, and her identity is not easy to entangle at this age, so she had to quickly tell Sheng Weiwei a few words, and watched her being taken away by Chi Zuosi in her heart.

The rest of the people went to the side hall in twos and threes, and on the way, Meng Guihuan deliberately walked beside Sheng Weiqiao, and whispered: "If today's luncheon is placed elsewhere, after my aunt leaves, we will continue to use it." But this apse, separated by a courtyard at the back, is my aunt's bedroom. Even if my aunt didn't take a break, but went to the warm pavilion, we wouldn't be able to bother in the apse for too long, because my aunt left, and we had to disperse. ”

Sheng Weiqiao thanked him, looked up and saw Meng Twelve and Meng Thirteen, who were walking in front, looking at this side frequently, and said busily: "Look at Miss Twelve and Miss Thirteen, is there something to look for you?"

Meng Guihuan didn't even look at Meng Twelve and Meng Thirteen, and shook his head directly: "They don't have anything to look for me, probably because I took the initiative to come over to talk to you and was curious." ”

Listening to her tone, the relationship with Meng Twelve and Meng Thirteen doesn't seem to be very good, even if there are no grievances, it is estimated that they are not affectionate.

Sheng Weiqiao felt that this high-ranking family was shallow, like her and her two cousins Sheng Weirao and Sheng Weiwei, how could they be so cold?

Of course, this is none of her business, so she changed the subject: "I thought that the luncheon was going to be retired, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to keep us - but I don't know if there are any other orders for the meeting?

Meng Guihuan said with a smile: "My aunt likes to be lively, and she often says that everything in Xinshou Palace is good, but the place is too big and there are too few people, so there will be two calls for people to enter the palace to talk in three days." Although I didn't ask us to go to my aunt because my aunt had something to tell me about something today, she didn't want us to leave early. In my aunt's words, even if she was in the warm pavilion or the main hall, she couldn't really listen to us if we were playing in the side hall for fun, but she was happy to think that there was a group of young people bustling next to her. ”

The voice was low, "So if you don't have anything urgent, don't mention that you want to retire early, so my aunt will be unhappy - old people always like to get together and not like to leave." Again, I'll tell you the truth: being able to walk around your aunt often is good for you and for your brother. How many people can't envy you, if you have to refuse, people will inevitably think that you are a little child!"

Sheng Weiqiao regretted in her heart, she really wanted to come early, and nodded when she heard this: "I just have entered the palace few times, and I am afraid that I don't understand the rules, so I have no other meaning to inquire." ”

When she said this, she subconsciously glanced in the direction of Nuan Ge, sighing that Empress Dowager Meng's knees were empty and lonely, so that even if her energy was not enough to support watching a group of young juniors noisy all day long, she would rather stay in the same palace to chat and comfort, but she also felt a little incomprehensible: "Since the Empress Dowager likes the younger generations so much, why didn't the Empress Dowager intervene when the Shu sisters murdered the imperial heir?"

At present, it is rumored that there are two imperial heirs who were murdered by the Shu sisters: one is the male fetus that fell from the shape of the male fetus before Sheng Lanci officially married the Feng family, and Emperor Xuanjing personally gave Jin Meiren a bowl of abortion pills;

Don't mention the possible heirs of the emperor who are not known to outsiders, just these two:

When the miscarriage of Jin Meiren happened, the Shu sisters had not been in the palace for a long time, and it can be said that Empress Dowager Meng did not expect the sisters to be so jealous and vicious, and Emperor Xuanjing connived at the favorite concubine to such an indiscriminate extent, so that she was caught off guard and watched a male grandson disappear like this.

But after such a bloody lesson, when it was the turn of the little prince who was strangled by the nurse, why didn't Empress Dowager Meng take action to protect her grandson?

You must know that when this little prince was born, Emperor Xuanjing was just such a child under his knees - even if he was old, the Son of Heaven could not be called young at that time.

At that time, the Shu sisters who were favored by the Son of Heaven had a history of murdering the emperor's heir, and the biological mother of the little prince, Xiao Wen, although she was the cousin of the Wen family after the abolition, but the Wen family of that meeting was already just the name of the queen, but in fact, she had fallen out of favor for many years, and she was not able to go out of the Jingshao Hall of Wangchun Palace - how much can she help Xiao Wen's mother and son?

Sheng Weiqiao felt that in this case, even if Empress Dowager Meng didn't bring Xiaowen's mother and son to Xinshou Palace to watch in person, at least she should take the little prince to raise her, right?

With such the protection and deterrence of her grandmother, the Shu sisters may not dare to make trouble in the Empress Dowager's palace, how could the little prince die in such a way that Emperor Xuanjing is over half a hundred years old, and his knees are empty?

If Empress Dowager Meng is a person who doesn't care about her descendants, it would be okay to let this little prince have an accident under the care of Xiao Wen.

It's just that she clearly likes the younger generations very much, and she likes but doesn't protect her grandchildren - Sheng Weiqiao really can't understand what this queen mother thinks?

However, this kind of thing can't be asked to Meng Guihuan, the niece of the Empress Dowager Meng, who only smiled and said: "What are we going to play when we go to the side hall?" I have never learned any skills, and I don't know the fashionable games in Chang'an, if there is any joke, you can't just watch the excitement and ignore me!"

This sounds like a request, but in fact it is a response to Meng Guihuan's words of "turning war into jade silk", Meng Guihuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Except for the fourteenth sister, we only know a few words! After all, we can't take the top prize, who is impatient to read and write all day long? That is, fourteen She likes these by nature, so she has been learning from the husband of the starling. ”

After the group sat down, the palace people made tea, Meng Shishi took a sip, and asked a person not far away: "The ancient book from last time ......?"

The palace maid didn't wait for her to finish speaking, then smiled and blessed, and said, "The slave maid will go to Shiqu Pavilion for you to get it." ”

Shiqu Pavilion is the place where the royal family collects books, in the early years of the dynasty, because of the war, many books were displaced, after Mu Gaozu ascended the throne, he specially ordered the construction of Shiqu and Tianlu two pavilions in the imperial city, and collected books and classics, not only to preserve the painstaking efforts of these predecessors, but also to facilitate the royal family and the imperial court to read and query.

Later, Emperor Taizong expanded the second pavilion, and sent a decree to collect books from all over the country to enrich it, which can be described as full of sweat and all-encompassing.

However, although this place has the largest and most complete collection of books in the country, not everyone can borrow them.

Although Meng Shishi is the niece of the Queen Mother, because she is a female dependent, she went directly to Shiqu Pavilion to get the book, which is inevitably criticized, but she took the opportunity to be here with the Queen Mother and let the Queen Mother's palace maid take it, so in the name of the Queen Mother, even if outsiders know the inside story, it is not easy to say anything.

Sheng Weiqiao looked at it, and felt that this Meng Shishi really liked poetry and books as Huan Yehe said-but she didn't plan to go over to talk to this person now, so she retracted her gaze after a few glances.

"Fourteenth sister wants to read, what about you?" At this time, Meng Twelve and Meng Thirteen discussed a few words in a low voice, and asked Meng Guihuan, "The three of you together, let's play each other, or do we choose a game to play together?"

Meng Guihuan asked, "What are you playing?"

"Isn't it?" Meng Shuangxiao proposed with great interest, "It's not easy to go outside this day, it's in this hall, there is a limit to what can be played, and the six of us can play together, and the others, such as playing chess, are all threes and threes, and there is no excitement!"

In fact, there are usually three to five people playing, and six people are a bit too much--fortunately, it is not impossible, Meng Shuangxiao said this, thinking that it is for the sake of Meng Guihuan's face, and he does not want to exclude Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang.

Meng Guihuan looked at Sheng Weiqiao: "Will you?"

Sheng Weiqiao nodded: "I played, but I didn't play very well." ”

The play of the Pu was there in the previous dynasty, and it was popular in Chang'an, and it has not declined so far, and it is one of the first choices for feasting and drinking. Although Nanfeng County is far away from Chang'an, it has been less affected and is not as prosperous as Chang'an, but Sheng Weiqiao's father Sheng Lan didn't play less when he came to Chang'an, and after returning to Nanfeng County, he was occasionally free, and he would play a few games with his wife and daughter.

In this way, Feng and Sheng Weiqiao will be, Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang have also taught this niece in their relationship - after all, it is not a game that is difficult for a few people to understand, Gongsun Yingjiang will learn it a little.

It's just that Sheng Weiqiao himself is not good at this, Gongsun Yingjiang has been following her, and her aunt and nephew don't play much, so they are really not masters.

"That's just right!" Meng Twelve said happily, "I always lose when I play this, if you don't play as well as me, I will play with you in the future!"

Sheng Weiqiao smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, I don't care if I lose or not." ”

- Anyway, I can't get along with you for long!

――Even if we hadn't parted ways because of our political stance in a few months, we would have gone back to Nanfeng County a long time ago!

- I don't care if you live or die when the time comes!

Thinking so, she sat down with a relaxed expression by the long table where the chessboard was placed.

At this time, not only her, but also the girls of the Meng family and Gongsun Yingjiang had no burden.

After all, it's just playing with the calamus.

They don't have the money yet...... What pressure can there be?

However, this relaxed and happy atmosphere quickly changed after half an hour!
