Sheng Weiqiao and Rong Sleeping Crane didn't know how broken Gongsun Xi's mood was, so they talked and laughed when they arrived at the side hall in the southeast corner, and Chunlai, who had been waiting for a long time, welcomed them in with a smile.

In these few steps, Sheng Weiqiao took advantage of the situation and asked: "How is the Queen Mother now?" ”

"The Queen Mother has just woken up, and she personally summoned the Queen Mother and King Guangling." Chun said, "I heard that the King of Guangling is willing to give Miss Meng Shiyi an explanation, and he will marry Miss Meng Shiyi as a side concubine in the near future...... Although the Queen Mother felt sorry for Miss Meng Shiyi, she was sad for a while, and she just gave up. After all, things have come to this point, and the marriage that Miss Eleven orally agreed to before is of course ......"

At this point, they had crossed the threshold of the temple.

Probably because this is only a small side hall, and the season is just right, there is no screen at the entrance of this hall.

At this time, the group looked up and could see the person sitting on the top, and Chunlai was immediately embarrassed: because she never expected that Chongxin Bo Meng Guiyu was actually there, and he was sitting at the bottom of the queen.

Although she didn't say anything mean, but someone had just encountered something like that, and now she heard herself talking behind her back, which pierced her heart.

So I stepped forward with some trepidation.

Fortunately, Empress Meng glanced at her lightly and didn't say anything, but only said to Sheng Weiqiao: "Sit down!" ”

After taking a seat, the palace maids served tea, and everyone took a sip and looked at each other, but no one spoke, and the hall fell into a short silence for a while.

Sheng Weiqiao noticed that after not seeing him for an hour or two, Meng Guiyu's whole person was a lot haggard.

His face was pale, and his reddish eyes were obviously just crying for his sister, but there was not much resentment between his eyebrows, only a deep and obscure.

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao and his party coming in, he glanced at it casually and turned his gaze away.

After a moment of relative comparison, Meng Guiyu said in a hoarse voice: "Then so be it!" ”

After finishing speaking, he got up and left, not even a few nods from Chao Sheng Weiqiao, compared to his usual gentleness and courtesy, it shows how chaotic his heart is at the moment.

Empress Meng's face was also ugly, and after watching him leave silently, she was in a trance for a while, and then came back to her senses under the reminder from the left and right, and smiled apologetically at Sheng Weiqiao: "I was waiting for you, but it happened that the sixth brother came from behind, so he said a few words......"

The queen obviously didn't want to say much about Meng Guiyu, so she smiled reluctantly, and then turned her gaze behind Rong Sleeping Crane, "This is ......"

When she spoke, the queen had already seen Gongsun Xi's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned: when she was in Tingzhou before, Queen Meng, who woke up before Sheng Weiqiao, vomited for a while due to drowning and excessive fright, and it was actually Gongsun Xi who was carrying it in and out.

It's just that Queen Meng was uncomfortable at that time, second, she was still in the panic of drowning, and third, she was worried about Sheng Weiqiao, so she didn't pay attention to the appearance of the people around her.

At this time, I saw that Gongsun Xi was similar to his own age, his appearance was both delicate and fair, and his body was also long, although he was wearing a plain green shirt without ornamentation, and stood behind Rong Sleeping Crane with the respectful posture that a servant should have, but there was no weakness and cowardice that slaves were accustomed to, and there was a bit of upright and elegant green bamboo outside the bar.

When Empress Meng was born, the Meng family was already very wealthy, although she was unhappy in her mother's family before, but because of her blood, she had not seen many young men with both talents and appearances...... Even in the Meng clan, there are very few men who stand out, such as Meng Guiyu who just left.

In contrast, Gongsun Xi's appearance and bearing are not the first class among the people she has seen, mainly because when she heard that this person was an entourage who grew up with Rong Sleeping Crane, she preconceived that he was a subordinate.

Looking at it now, if he hadn't been standing behind people, where would he have looked like a servant?

is the noble son of Chang'an Gaomen, who can have his demeanor at this age, but I am afraid that it is rare.

was a little surprised immediately, but fortunately, Sheng Weiqiao thought that her pause was waiting for someone to answer, and nodded: "This is Ah Xi." ”

"Thanks to you!" Empress Meng settled down, smiled gratefully at Gongsun Xi, and looked at Rong Sleeping Crane again, "The grace of saving my life, but I don't know how I should repay it?" ”

Gongsun Xi ignored the queen's kind gaze at all, didn't blink an eye, didn't say a word, only lowered his eyes to look at Rong Sleeping Crane in front of him, obviously handing over all the decision-making power to his own leader.

And Rong Sleeping Crane originally ordered Gongsun Xi to go into the water, purely to protect Sheng Weiqiao, and to save the queen was all incidental. Originally, since the queen came forward to thank her in person, her gratitude was beyond words, and he didn't care about slaughtering a knife, but knowing that the queen had a good relationship with Sheng Weiqiao, Rong Sleeping Crane rushed to Sheng Weiqiao's face, so naturally he didn't want to embarrass her.

At this moment, he said: "The queen is serious, Niangniang is the master of the six palaces, and she accidentally fell into the water, how can we stand by and watch?" This is all what should be done, and the mother doesn't have to care. The word 'return' really scares us! ”

"You masters and servants are kind, and I can't really say nothing." Queen Meng didn't know anything about Rong Sleeping Crane at all, because she had a very good impression of Sheng Weiqiao, she felt that since Rong Sleeping Crane had been a brother and sister with Sheng Weiqiao, then the two brothers and sisters should be similar.

At this time, he sincerely thought that Rong Sleeping Crane was a gentleman, knowing that the fathers of both sides were fighting to the death and resurrection at this time, but they refused to use the grace of saving their lives.

After hesitating for a moment at this moment, he said, "In this way, if the county king does not dislike it and is willing to part with the noble servant, how about letting him go to Wangchun Palace as a guard?" ”

Sheng Weiqiao didn't see the scene of the conflict between Rong Sleeping Crane's master and servant and the Yuan family's uncle and nephew, and later when Queen Meng arrived, the whole focus was on Rong Sleeping Crane, she thought that Rong Sleeping Crane stepped on two boats, and it was too late to worry about all kinds of things, so naturally she wouldn't inquire about any details, so she didn't know what Gongsun Xi did to the Yuan family's uncle and nephew.

At this time, I couldn't help but be surprised, and I didn't understand why the queen thought that this was a repayment? After all, Gongsun Xi is Rong Sleeping Crane's henchman, and Rong Sleeping Crane is the biological son of King Gaomi, so he will go to Wangchun Palace, where Meng's daughter lives, as a guard, isn't this a deliberate pit for Gongsun Xi?

However, Rong Sleeping Crane knew it and sighed slightly: "It's no wonder that this queen has a good relationship with her, but she is a rare kind-hearted person in the Meng family." ”

The queen apparently knew about King Gaomi's request to expel Gongsun Xi from the palace...... Even if you don't know, as long as you hear that Gongsun Xi has done something to the uncles and nephews of the Yuan family, you can guess that the Gaomi Royal Mansion may not be more tolerant of sleeping cranes beating the uncles and nephews of the Yuan family, and even vague about what happened to Yuan Liujin, but they will definitely not tolerate the grandson of the Gaomi royal couple being humiliated by a subordinate servant and be indifferent!

Therefore, he simply asked Gongsun Xi to go to Wangchun Palace to be a guard, so that he no longer nominally belongs to Rong Sleeping Crane, but to the queen's person, so the Gaomi Palace's side must be investigated, and there is a Meng clan to stop it.

And Empress Meng, as one of the most important chess pieces in the Meng family's plan to continue to be wealthy, where she lives, let a small servant of the concubine of the Gaomi King get mixed in...... Even if it is just to temporarily block the investigation of the Gaomi Royal Mansion in the name of this, and soon transfer to other places that are not tight, how can the Meng family have no opinion?

The queen did this, of course, for the sake of Gongsun Xi's safety, but if she thought about it, she would definitely have to bear considerable pressure within the Meng family.

In terms of the queen's current status and the power in her hands, being able to do this can be regarded as a very serious and hard work to repay her kindness.

"Mother's kindness, I'll wait for it." But although Queen Meng had good intentions, she misestimated Rong Sleeping Crane's degree of disobedience and strength, she thought that Rong Sleeping Crane would not be able to keep Gongsun Xi, but Rong Sleeping Crane didn't think so, and immediately shook her head and said, "But I'm used to Ah Xi by my side, but I don't plan to let him out for the time being." Moreover, Ah Xi has never been a guard, but I am afraid that he may not be able to adapt to the palace guard, so he can only live up to the hard work of the mother! ”

"The king of the county, I know that the king of the county is very favored by the king of Gaomi and the princess these days." When Empress Meng heard this, she thought that he was pampered by his parents, and she didn't know the seriousness of the situation, so she frowned, motioned to the idlers on the left and right to retreat, and ordered Chun to come and go to guard the palace gate, and then continued, "But I'll tell you a few truths, don't think I'm sowing discord: King Gaomi and his wife are your biological parents, and they may love the house and Wu, so what if they don't take Sheng Xi!" However, the Yuan family may not be so resigned! ”

told him about the situation of the Yuan family, "The heirs of the Yuan family are thin, Huaiyuan Hou Yuan Liuguang is a brother of Yuan Liujin, their brothers are a full generation apart, and the old Huaiyuan Hou and his wife went early, so Yuan Liujin was raised by his brother and sister-in-law." Yuan Liuguang has always loved this younger brother, and he has never begged anyone, for the sake of Yuan Liujin, he even came forward in person and begged King Gaomi to speak on his behalf, so that Yuan Liujin worshiped under the proud disciple of Duke Huan, Luo Pu, which shows the importance attached to him! ”

"That Yuan Kai is the only male heir of Yuan Liuguang, and he loves him like a treasure."

"These two people were beaten, even if Princess Gaomi loved her son and exonerated you for the king of the county, but even though Yuan Liuguang hindered his mother-in-law's affection and exposed the matter on the scene, he may not try to retaliate in private! His ancestors were knighted, although his descendants are not rich, after all, he is one of the highest-ranking brands in Chang'an! ”

"After marrying Sister Ling, the lord of Qingfang, with the support of King Gaomi, he has a wide range of powers!"

"Even if the king of the county has a higher title than him, and he is the biological son of the king of Gaomi, but you have been exiled since you were a child, and you have only been in Chang'an for a few days? The foundation is still shallow, how can it be the opponent of Yuan Streamer? ”

Empress Meng frowned and said bitterly, "So, it's better to let Sheng Xi come to my palace as a guard, I promise that I won't call him seriously, let alone let him be bullied." is the top name, so as not to suffer a loss! Because Yuan Streamer is still taking care of the overall situation, if Sheng Xi is your little guy, Yuan Streamer is not afraid to attack him; If he becomes a guard in my palace, Yuan Liuguang needs to consider whether it will cause trouble to King Gaomi's faction. ”

Seeing that Rong Sleeping Crane was still unmoved, the queen thought for a while, and said, "In the future, if you talk to Yuan Liuguang about this matter, I will release you at any time, and I will definitely not prevent your master and servant from reuniting...... How is it? ”

Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what to do, but when he heard this, he was very surprised, and asked Rong Sleeping Crane: "Why did you let Ah Xi do it to the uncle and nephew of the Yuan family?!" Isn't it true that you can't fight yourself, so you can't go on your own? ”

"I'm used to it." Rong Sleeping Crane said vaguely and said, "Anyway, according to the meaning of the queen's mother, it is to let Ah Xi go to Wangchun Palace as a guard, but I am worried that the open gun is easy to dodge and the hidden arrow is difficult to defend, this is not a problem for us, right?" ”

What kind of tricks did he play with Gongsun Xi, but he hadn't seen it?

Don't care how noble the ancestor of that Yuan Streamer is, how long has he been in Chang'an...... This kind of Hou Ye who grew up in a rich township, no matter how black his heart and hands are, can he compare with the tortoiseshell island in the outer land and the base camp of the bandits?

If such a person's secret hand was to be settled, their master and servant would not be able to settle it, and they would have been buried at the bottom of the sea long ago!

So Rong Sleeping Crane still refused, "Niangniang, don't worry...... Moreover, I don't plan to stay in Chang'an for long. ”

Empress Meng didn't know his details, so she was naturally not at ease with this guarantee, and was biting her lip and wanting to say something, at this time Gongsun Xi thought about it for a while, but suddenly bent over, and said softly: "King of the county, the little one wants to go to Wangchun Palace as a guard!" ”
