"Then you go quickly, don't ask your father to wait." Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao was just talking and laughing, but when she saw her husband frowning, she was worried that he would not give face to King Gaomi on the spot, so she asked everyone to see the jokes of the palace, so she hurriedly pushed his arm and whispered, "There are a lot of people here...... Father, it doesn't matter, things won't come to you. ”

"He's looking for me now, what else can he do besides worrying about recruiting peace for the prince?" Rong Sleeping Crane showed a touch of boredom, and snorted coldly, "I've been doing this for a long time, he wants me to do it myself and wants to point fingers, when I'm his subordinate?" Can he come and go anytime and anywhere?! ”

But for Sheng Weiqiao's sake, he reached out and pinched the back of his wife's hand, and finally got up and passed.

After Rong Sleeping Crane left again, Sheng Weiqiao drank alone and was bored, looked left and right, and saw that Qi, the only one who was more familiar and had a good relationship, was talking to Rong Qingyu with his head down, it was not easy to disturb, the others either didn't know each other, or they only had one side, and they didn't mean to talk to her, and they nodded at most on eye contact.

She thought, "I just went to see if my fourth sister has come back?" ”

So he left the table to find a place where the Sheng family was sitting, but saw that Sheng Weirao had already returned, and the old marquis Xu and the old lady Xiahou also moved here, obviously wanting to help with the details.

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao coming, Mrs. Ming hurriedly greeted her: "Qiao'er, help persuade this dead-eyed child!" ”

"What's wrong?" After Sheng Weiqiao blessed a few elders, he sat down and asked curiously, "Has the fourth sister spoken?" How so? ”

Sheng Weirao glanced at her and said helplessly: "I think Zang Wanzhou is good, but my grandmother can't say it." ”

Old Madam Ming didn't wait for Sheng Weiqiao to ask why it was not good, and she had already preemptively said: "That person is okay with others, but he plans to live in the army for a long time." As the saying goes, if the crockpot is not broken from the well, the general will inevitably die in battle. If he is not related to us, he will die if he dies! If you marry our Rao'er, and you have three long and two short ones when you look back, wouldn't it hurt this child?! ”

"How do you speak?" Although she knew that the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter, the old lady Sheng who had been in Rong Ma for half her life couldn't hear this kind of words, and said unhappily, "Then why wasn't I in the army when I married you?!" Why did you agree to marry me?! Do you expect me to die in battle, so that I can't be in charge! ”

"Can this be compared?!" Mrs. Ming usually lets the old lady go, even if the old lady falls on her face in front of the juniors, she is only timid, but when it comes to her granddaughter, she is still the granddaughter she is most worried about, but she doesn't want to let it, so she raised her voice slightly and said, "I am willing to follow you to eat chaff vegetables, so I must let my granddaughter live this kind of life!?" Then you didn't do it back then, and you went to join the army, why didn't you force Lan Ci and his three brothers to go to the frontier to defend as well? ! ”

The old lady was speechless for a while, and was silent for a while before saying: "The children have been in the army for a long time, are you serious?" Can't you think about the benefits, thinking that other people's children will make contributions in the future, and make your husband and wife expensive? ”

Seeing that they had different opinions, Old Marquis Xu and Old Madam Xiahou persuaded them: "Didn't the kid on the left and right say that he wanted you to give an answer today, this is the first time I have seen him, why bother to make a decision?" It's not convenient to talk in the palace at this time, so it's better to discuss slowly after you go back. ”

Sheng Weiqiao didn't know what to say when he saw this situation, and saw that Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming listened to the persuasion of the old couple of the Xu family, and they were silent, so they gave Sheng Weirao a look and said: "My mother-in-law is sitting on it, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate for me to leave the table for too long, but Mizhen was called away by my father-in-law at this time, and it is boring for me to sit there alone, why don't you let the fourth sister and the eighth sister accompany me to sit there?" ”

Everyone knew that she wanted to talk to Sheng Weirao alone, and they all nodded: "Go ahead!" ”

Mrs. Ming thought that Sheng Weiqiao was going to help her persuade Sheng Weirao, and she also pulled Sheng Weiwei back: "Let Rao'er accompany you over, Nu'er has always been naughty, don't go over." lest she be noisy and shouting, so that the princess will not be pleased with it. ”

Sheng Weiwei looked at Sheng Weiqiao very aggrieved, but Xuan Yu Feng immediately took a fruit to coax her: "Come and sit with me!" ”

So Sheng Weiqiao took Sheng Weirao to his own table, at this time the palace people had changed a new round of dishes, although the dishes of the palace banquet were not as intimate as their own cooks in Sheng Weiqiao's opinion, but the dazzling array of golden plates and jade bowls was very good-looking, but at this moment the sisters were not in the mood for a banquet.

"This swallow fish dried fish wine vinegar hoof crisp slices looks good, the fourth sister try it?" Sheng Weiqiao watched the palace people put the dishes on the table one by one, and casually gossiped with Sheng Weirao, but he expected the palace people to talk to the good sisters after the dishes were served.

Unexpectedly, when the palace people served the last dish, they looked left and right and no one paid attention, but they quietly put a peach blossom paper folded into a peacock opening screen in the gap between the dishes.

Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw it.

"Who gave this to you?" She also looked left and right, raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, and asked in a low voice.

The palace maid pursed her lips, put the last dish on the table, and then nodded her chin imperceptibly in the direction of the phoenix seat, which had long been empty: "The queen said that I haven't seen you for a few days." ”

Sheng Weiqiao reached out and picked up the peacock, opened it and saw that the handwriting that had been hastily written in a few lines was the queen's handwriting, saying that she had not seen her for a long time, and wanted to ask her to talk in a side hall not far away.

Sheng Weirao next to her stretched her neck to finish reading it with her, and said, "Third sister, then you go to the queen's mother, right?" After all, it's convenient for our sisters to see each other, and we can do it at any time. But the queen mother is in the way of the queen mother at this time, but she can't call you to Wangchun Palace when she wants to talk to you like before. ”

"Then I'll go." Sheng Weiqiao thought that Rong Sleeping Crane had just said that the matter of recruiting the Anhai bandits had been finalized, and it was estimated that Queen Meng knew the news and knew that she would go to the Western Xinjiang with Rong Sleeping Crane in the near future, so that it would be even more indefinite to meet in the future, so she took the opportunity of the banquet and called herself to meet in the past.

After a while, she took the hibiscus fence to the side hall that the queen said, and sure enough, when she entered the door, Queen Meng said: "Earlier, you said that you were going back to Nanfeng County, I thought that you were going here, and it would be rare for us to see each other in this life, and I was quite sad for a long time. A few days later, you came back again, and I was happy! I don't want you to leave again...... You are a person who will really toss me, and my mood has followed you up and down in the past two years. ”

I sighed faintly.

"We're all young, and I won't be gone for long." Sheng Weiqiao comforted, "Besides, didn't I say it when I said goodbye to you when I went back to Nanfeng County before?" Even if we can't see each other, we can write letters! ”

The queen smiled bitterly and said, "Hongyan passed the book, can you compare it with the next few talks?" ”

Sheng Weiqiao was thinking about how to answer this, but Queen Meng said by herself, "Forget it, it's as if you don't leave Chang'an, we can meet casually here." ”

"Someday we'll be able to meet casually." Sheng Weiqiao looked at her lonely appearance, thinking of the desertion of Wangchun Palace, and the jealousy of the Shu sisters for this young successor, she couldn't bear it, but in the current situation, there was really no very powerful comfort to talk about, so she had to say, "We are young now, and it is difficult to make decisions." When we get older, there will always be a time when we will be in charge. ”

When Empress Meng heard this, she turned her head and looked at her fixedly for a while, and suddenly showed a strange smile, and said in a very soft voice: "Actually, what you just said is also right, that is, if you follow Mizhen to the Western Xinjiang, it may not take long to come back." ”

Seeing Sheng Weiqiao looking at herself inexplicably, she closed her eyes before she opened them, "Concubine Meng is happy." ”

"Concubine Meng?" Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, and subconsciously asked, "How many months?" Are you sure it's a male fetus? ”

Empress Meng chuckled and said, "You are really stupid! If the month is already big enough to show your nostalgia, can you hide it from your father-in-law's eyes and ears? In the end, King Guangling can be said to be the one he took care of, Princess Chai and the sons and daughters of King Guangling are all from the Zhao family! You went to a princess of Chai, and King Gaomi was confused about the affairs of Guangling Palace? ”

"As for whether it's a male fetus...... Who knows before the child is born? ”

"Qinglang, so my father-in-law doesn't know about this?" Sheng Weiqiao was a little worried, "Then you tell me about this...... Does it matter? ”

"It's impossible to hide this for too long." Empress Meng said a little lazily, "I told you a few days in advance, what's the matter?" Can you still run to the Guangling Mansion to get rid of Concubine Meng's child? ”

Sheng Weiqiao said embarrassedly: "How is this possible? ”

The queen said: "Actually, when I tell you this, I don't mean that I want to remind you of anything, but I just feel that Concubine Meng is here." ”

"What's wrong with her?" Sheng Weiqiao was surprised, "She is finally happy, why should the Meng family take good care of her?" ”

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Empress Meng's mouth, and a purple sandalwood inlaid silver silk pine crane palace fan in her hand fluttered slowly, and after a while, she said lightly: "Of course I didn't say anything about taking care of her pregnancy." But other things, not necessarily! ”

She reminded, "Do you think about when Princess Chai didn't have it? ”

"Isn't that the end of the day?" Sheng Weiqiao suddenly realized that she had never seen Princess Chai at all, and this one was not well-known in Chang'an, so even if Sheng Weiqiao recognized her relatives on her mother-in-law's birthday two days ago, she was told by Princess Gaomi in person that a cadre of Guangling Mansion was still guarding filial piety for Princess Chai, so she did not show up, but at this moment, she also forgot about this princess outside the clouds.

Now when I heard the queen mention it, she was suddenly awe-inspiring, "Although it is said that there are many people who are unfortunate in the market, and there are also those who remarry immediately after their wives go, but it is said that when Princess Chai went before, the prince questioned Concubine Meng?" Now that Concubine Meng is pregnant less than a year after Princess Chai went, I am afraid that the relationship between the prince and Uncle Guangling and the concubine will be more nervous? ”

"What's more than nervousness?" Empress Meng sneered, "The prince and Princess Chai have a deep relationship with their mother and son, and at Princess Chai's funeral, they once cried and fainted on the spot!" The princess was in the prime of life but disappeared inexplicably, and many clues pointed to Concubine Meng, not to mention, and killed a few people when she survived. This is someone else's own son, but if he is still a person, who will give up? ”

She exhaled, "Over the past few days, Concubine Meng has been seized by the prince more than once with fists and kicks, and even slapped in public!" ”

Sheng Weiqiao was stunned for a moment before saying, "The side concubine's dowry...... In spite of? ”
