The Meng family is not very happy about this, but their family is a man, and these rumors actually hurt the man very little, especially their son is not very old, it is really not good, and he will talk about kissing in two years, who will remember these rumors after two years.

Meng Ye himself didn't care much, but Mrs. Meng was very vigilant, the rumors were so bad, if the Shao family took this to threaten, with the kindness of General Shao and the persuasion of others, it would be difficult to refuse, after all, the girl of the Shao family looks very good on the surface, she has a father who is not very competitive, but she also has an uncle who is competitive, and the family can make do.

Others will say that the reputation of the girl has been affected, if the Meng family does not want it, she will not be able to marry, although this matter is not the fault of the Meng family, but morally speaking, you can't see death without help, General Shao's little kindness to Meng Ye back then spreads, and the Meng family is easy to fall into an ungrateful reputation.

When Mrs. Meng encountered such a major event, she habitually wanted to go to the Dingwang Mansion for advice.

As soon as the maid was ordered to prepare the car, the maid of the Dingwang Mansion came.

For the two big girls of green vine and rosegrass, Mrs. Meng did not dare to slack off, these two maids must be the henchmen of the king, and they could not be offended, she politely invited the rosewood to the small flower hall for tea.

Rosegrass is in the name of sending things to the Meng family, there are a lot of people who tie up the wind, the daily gift can be said to be endless, not a gift even the wind is received, take the hand to break, the expensive gift is to see the person to receive, but some inexpensive fruits and local products will be accepted, return to the trouble, human contacts, more will also be given to relatives and friends.

This time, Luocao sent two baskets of winter pears, but Mrs. Meng knew that there must be something to pass on before letting Luocao come, otherwise she would just send a small servant to send two baskets of pears, otherwise she would let Mama Qing send them to someone from the Meng family like this. There is no need for turnaway.

When Luocao arrived at the flower hall, Mrs. Meng opened the maid beside her and said with a smile: "Luocao girl, sit down and talk." ”

"It's good for the slave to stand. Rosewood smiled slightly, but in a respectful manner.

Mrs. Meng knew that the maids in the palace had big rules, and she was not reluctant. For fear of delaying other people's time. asked directly: "Miss Rosegrass, does the princess have something to say?"

Luo Cao said: "It's not the princess, the slave is a messenger for the prince." ”

The prince has something to say. Mrs. Meng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked, "What is the ...... the prince?" Girl, please speak. ”

Madame Meng swallowed the command back, and in any case, the king was now her son-in-law. As a mother-in-law, I still have to have the self-respect. If it's too much, others will look down on you.

Luo Cao said, "The prince asked the slave maid to bring a message to his wife, the princess is pregnant, she can't work too hard, everything needs to be considered." Don't mention it to the princess, lest the princess be too tired. ”

In this way, Mrs. Meng's face showed a little embarrassment. is a little weak-hearted, after all, Xiaofu is not his biological daughter. Since she got married, she has nothing to do to let Xiaofu take the idea, it seems to have become a habit, some things are not necessary, such as the Shao family, if she herself investigates carefully, she can actually find out, but with Xiaofu here, she is too lazy to bother with that, usually it is okay, now Xiaofu is pregnant, it is indeed not appropriate to worry too much.

Luo Cao seemed to guess what Mrs. Meng was thinking, and smiled, "Madame doesn't have to be careful, it's good to have some things to be discussed by one more person, so as not to make a wrong step and be difficult to clean up...... What the prince means is that if you can trust him, he can give you a little advice. ”

"Then what's so embarrassing, the prince has a lot ......of opportunities," Mrs. Meng said and was afraid that Luo Luocao would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, "It's not that I can't trust the prince, it's just that I don't dare to bother the prince for some small things." ”

Luo Cao smiled again, "So Madame is too careful, for the prince, it is about the princess, no matter how small it is, it is a big thing, do you say?"

"Yes, yes. Mrs. Meng still felt a little embarrassed, but she could only echo in a loud voice.

Luo Cao said seriously: "That's the case, recently the prince also knows some rumors, after all, it is a matter of the brother-in-law's life, the prince is actually young and young Meng, and he is not in a hurry to say that he is close in the past two years, and it is okay for Mrs. to pay attention to some of the ladies slowly, but there is no need to be too anxious, this in-law is very capable, and the official position may be able to change in the next two years, and then the Meng family will be a different scene, so there is no need to rush this time." ”

"The prince is right. Mrs. Meng's eyes suddenly lit up, if Meng Ye can be promoted to another level, it is the third grade, he is only fifty now, and he will be promoted to the first level in one or two years, so he may be able to be promoted to the second grade or even the first grade in ten years, in this way, not to mention the head of the civil and military officials, at least he can go down in history, and he can also be married and noble, and he will be crowned alive with a first-grade order, and this is the most glorious life for a woman.

In this case, the family affairs of the two children do not need to be too anxious, as long as Meng Ye is promoted again, maybe the son can marry the daughter of the prime minister as a daughter-in-law, why bother to succumb to a low-level family now?

It's just that Mrs. Meng thought of the recent turmoil again, and said, "But this Shao family ...... Don't hide it from the girl, General Shao used to have some friendship with our master, I have been worried recently, there are so many rumors outside, which has hurt Miss Shao's reputation, if I don't marry the family, the two families may be a little dirty. ”

Luo Cao nodded, "Madame's concerns will be conveyed to the prince, please don't worry about Madame." ”

"Then it's a nuisance girl. Madame Meng calmed down a little.

……

Inside the palace of the King of Ruicheng.

Prince Ruicheng looked at the gift in front of him with a sad face, sighed, and sat alone for half a day, unable to think of any good way, so he could only go to Princess Ruicheng's courtyard and discuss countermeasures with Princess Ruicheng.

Princess Ruicheng Mu Shi is slowly making tea with a small stove on the red stove.

The tea smoke curls, the room is full of tea fragrance, and once you enter, you can't help but feel relaxed.

Seeing Prince Ruicheng come in, Mu Shi got up and saluted lightly, and smiled indifferently: "The prince is here, just in time, taste my newly soaked Biluochun." ”

Although the prince of Ruicheng was a little anxious, but he was not anxious about this situation, so he had to sit down, Mu Shi immediately brewed a cup of hot tea, touched his hands in front of the prince of Ruicheng, and said, "Lord Wang, please use tea." ”

Ruicheng Wang Ye took the white porcelain teacup, watching the green tea stalk fly in the white porcelain teacup without decoration, the tea soup is clear, but it is also pleasing to the eye, smell it again, taste a product, this tea is not a good tea, the teacup is also the most ordinary white porcelain teacup, but the heat is properly controlled, and then it is a good cup of tea.

Thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Mu's face, his quiet face is actually not much different from when he was young, presumably those who looked glamorous when they were young, and the fat residue faded after they were old, and Mu's temperament is not common to many beauties, it is a kind of temperament that is really cultivated by everyone's ladies since childhood.

Thinking that after the death of his concubine, there was no one to talk to, King Ruicheng secretly regretted that he was too cold to Mu Shi when he was young, and he was old, and he didn't know how to talk about things if he wanted to.

Mu Shi also made himself a cup of tea, and then told the little maid to come in and clean up the tea set and the small stove and other things.

The two were relatively speechless, just slowly sipping tea.

The cup of tea was about to be drunk, and King Rui Cheng had to say: "Zhenyun's errand suddenly let someone else give it to you, what do you think?"

Mu Shi said lightly: "How can I, a woman, know about this outside matter?"

King Rui Cheng was choked back by a sentence, and then said: "The person who replaced Zhenyun is an inconspicuous official, with no background, I don't know what the problem is, this must be someone who is playing tricks." ”

Mu Shi stroked the teacup and said indifferently: "The tree is a big move, Ruicheng Wangfu has been in the palace for many years, and it can't be said that no one can be offended, not to mention the far away, and now the one who has entered has offended the Hu family, the Hu family is a family in the end, the old lady Hu had so many protégés back then, and most of the literati were on errands in the ministry, this may not be done by the person who looks at the person who has nothing to do with the Hu family, it is really nowhere to check, and it is really clear that he is good with the Hu family, but he will not get his hands dirty." ”

King Rui Cheng was shocked, thinking about Mu Shi's words is not unreasonable, most of these cold arrows behind his back are secret, why didn't he think of it? No wonder people say that women's hearts are more careful and think more, but he still asked: "Is there any other possibility?"

"For example?" asked Mu Shi after sipping another sip of tea with his eyebrows lowered.

King Ruicheng hesitated for a moment before he said, "For example, Dingwangfu?"

"It's possible. Mu Shi nodded and added, "There is also the Meng family, I heard that Meng Yeguan has been promoted to a level, maybe there will be someone who wants to tie his head and stand up for him. ”

"How is this good?" King Rui Cheng was a little impatient, "I just wanted to sue Princess Sù that the gift sent by our palace to congratulate Meng Ye on his promotion was sent back intact, does this mean that the Meng family is very concerned about this matter?"

Mu Shi said lightly: " This is very normal, I asked Ning Ya'er's maid beside her, and said that the princess was very unkind since Ning Ya'er entered the mansion, and even saved a false attitude, and directly drove Ning Ya'er out, and it was with a very arrogant attitude, without the slightest scruple about the opinion of the prince, it happened that at that time, the king went out on an errand, Ning Yaer had to be a false snake, and promised to go, but the princess took it seriously, and found her a very good family business, but as soon as the prince came back, Ning Yaer turned back, and sued the princess in front of many slaves, and directly made the princess unable to come to the stage, and later drove a grandmother who was married by the princess back to the Meng family, which was the case, Ning Ya'er never saw Princess Ding again...... These two people have torn their faces, and the princess must hate them very much, Ning Ya'er. Otherwise, it won't be like this, now that Ning Ya'er has been caught, the Meng family will definitely fall into the ground, and they are even more resentful of the Ruicheng Mansion that took in Ning Ya'er, how could they accept your gift from the prince, it's good that you didn't throw it out directly.
