Chapter 195: A Family, Keeping the New Year

Early in the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Meng Xia got up and packed up and took people directly to Mu Qing Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there was an incident yesterday about the concubine, it did not affect the atmosphere of the New Year in the palace at all, and the harem ladies and relatives rushed to dress up, waiting for the arrival of the thirtieth dinner.

This is an important day for them to be able to meet their emperor, and it is also an important time for the year to pass and welcome the new year.

Yesterday, the Ning family had already passed the word, and asked her and the Third Emperor Brother to go to Mu Qing Palace early in the morning, and this breakfast was naturally used together while chatting there.

Halfway down the road, Xiao Qiuzi hurriedly chased after him from behind.

"Ninth Princess, something happened, Concubine Xi committed suicide!" Xiao Qiuzi told Meng Xia the news he had just gotten in a low voice, and said with great certainty: "The slave has quietly inquired clearly, Concubine Xi looks like she hanged herself and died, but to be precise, she should be killed first and then hung up to disguise herself as a suicide." There are palace people in the cold palace who have been sold, and this kind of thing is not uncommon. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xia's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

Unexpectedly, it was only one night's work, and Xi Concubine said that it was gone.

Since he was killed by someone and disguised as suicide, of course, it was done by the Liu family, and the purpose was nothing more than to kill people and eliminate future troubles forever.

"Xiao Qiuzi, what I ordered you to do out of the palace yesterday is really in place?"

After a while, Meng Xia asked Xiao Qiuzi.

Although Xiao Qiuzi came back last night like her, the sudden death of Xi Concubine made her a little worried about the safety of the innocent brother and sister.

"Ninth Princess, don't worry, those two have made proper arrangements, and I guarantee that no one other than us will find them."

Seeing this, Xiao Qiuzi hurriedly said: "What's more, those two children don't know anything, according to the slaves, after the death of the concubine, they will lose the value of use, but it is safer for them, presumably the people of the Liu family or the queen will not be too troublesome to find two children who have no effect." ”

Xiao Qiuzi naturally understood what Meng Xia was worried about, and secretly sighed in her heart that her ninth princess was really too kind, and even the care of people like Xi Concubine could help take care of it, and of course these minions would be more down-to-earth when they sold their lives.

In fact, the Ninth Princess has always been very good to their subordinates, although they seem to be a little cold and not easy to approach, but after they are really familiar, it is not the same thing at all.

And they and the servants in the bell palace are all making a lot of money in a muffled voice, even if they are waiting for a rough maid at the end, which of these rewards is not much more than a year's money?

Not only money, but also if anyone in the palace in the Ling Palace encounters a difficult fact and there is no way to solve it, as long as the ninth princess knows, she will take the initiative to help them avoid all kinds of troubles and worries, even Xiao Qiuzi is extremely emotional, and she has never met such a good master.

Yes, this is the most attentive to the servants up and down the bell palace, and one by one they really treat the affairs of the nine princesses as their own affairs, so in the past few years, the head of the bell palace is naturally like an iron bucket, and there is no chance to let the eyeliner and eyes of other palaces mix in to do bad things!

Hearing Xiao Qiuzi's words, Meng Xia nodded in agreement, and said at the same time: "I didn't expect that I just saw her there yesterday, and she will be gone so soon." Some people's hands are really long and fast. Xiao Qiuzi, you go over there to take care of it again, try to find out who is doing it, and control those people secretly, but don't just act quietly. ”

"Don't worry, the ninth princess, the slave will know what to do!"

Xiao Qiuzi got the order and left again immediately.

Meng Xia knew that this matter was definitely sent by Concubine Liu, so she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to add another generous amount to that gift!

When he went to Mu Qing Palace, the third emperor brother had already arrived, and he was talking to the Ning family in a whisper.

Ning's expression was in an extremely good mood today, and when he saw Meng Xia coming, he hurriedly beckoned him to sit down beside him.

As soon as the people were together, the palace people immediately began to set up meals, and after a while, a large table was full of Meng Xia and Meng Lang's favorite foods on weekdays.

Yesterday's incident, the Ning family remembered Meng Xia's goodness, and also deeply felt that in the harem now, Ah Xia's girl was really unfathomable, and she had already exceeded her expectations for this girl at the beginning.

Ning Shi felt more and more that Ah Xia would become the most powerful help for his emperor, no matter which aspect she was actually extremely satisfied, the only thing she was worried about was the development of the relationship between the two children, worried that one day Lang'er's true identity would be revealed.

However, the Ning clan is not a fool after all, some things are useless even if they are worried, it is better to let go of their hearts, do a good job in the present, plan for the future, and grasp those unfavorable factors as soon as possible.

During the meal, except for some New Year's family routines, everyone had a tacit understanding that they did not mention other things in the palace first, and happily had a meal together.

After the meal, the palace people withdrew the meal, and served tea, cakes, fresh fruits, etc., and then they all withdrew first without additional instructions, so that the first few masters in the house could talk well.

There are not many hours to sit down and chat, whether it is the Ning family, Meng Lang or Meng Xia today, in addition to the New Year's banquet in the evening, there are other different banquets to participate in, and people like them can't just stay in their own rooms quietly during the New Year.

"Axia, thank you for yesterday's incident." After there were no more idlers, the Ning clan sincerely expressed his gratitude to Meng Xia.

She Ning is not the kind of person who can't pull down her face and thank her juniors, if the crisis yesterday is not handled well, it may have a great impact on her, so Ning really thinks that Ah Xia's handling is really impeccable.

Even if it were for her, she might not be able to think about it so thoroughly, she could think of such a solution in such a short period of time, and most importantly, implement it perfectly.

"The mother concubine is too foreign, this is what I should do, there is no need to say such things between our mother and daughter."

Meng Xia said that there was no need to be like this, she was very happy that Ning had this heart, but it was really not necessary to thank her.

It's just that Meng Xia suddenly seemed to realize something, whether it was in the Xi Concubine's dormitory yesterday or in the Mu Qing Palace today, some of the emotions that Ning Shi consciously or unconsciously revealed may not even be aware of Ning himself.

In Meng Xia's opinion, perhaps Ning's feelings for Emperor Meng Zhao were not as weak as Ning's own thoughts.

Time is a terrible thing that can be forgotten a lot, including the love that was once unforgettable. At the same time, it can also generate some habitual greed, including people who originally killed people who they felt they couldn't like......

Of course, it was definitely impossible for Meng Xia to mention these things to the Ning clan, after all, everyone had their own different experiences and lives.

However, there is one thing that Meng Xia knows better than anyone else in her heart, for her, many things and feelings can never be controlled by time.

"Ah Xia said a lot, they are all a family, and the mother concubine doesn't have to be like that."

Meng Lang also smiled on the side, echoing Meng Xia's words, seeing that his mother got along well with his beloved, probably all men would have a kind of spontaneous laughter.

"You are all good children, and it is a great blessing for my mother to have you!"

Seeing this, Ning didn't say anything more, looked at the pair of children in front of him, and said: "Mother Concubine knows, now that you have grown up, your abilities are much stronger than Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine will not ask too many questions, nor will she interfere with anything, we will be you young people in the future, and it is up to you to do what you want!" The mother concubine can help you less and less, I just hope that you will not be dragged down in the future. ”

"Mother, you think too much, the third brother said that we are a family, how can there be any drag and not drag on the family? What's more, there are big and small people in this palace, and the mother doesn't know how much trouble and wind and rain she has blocked for us. ”

Meng Xia sat next to Ning's side, so he directly reached out to hold Ning's hand and continued: "Our mother and son are all fine, that's the best thing." At this time of year, we can keep the New Year together until the New Year, and that's enough! ”

"You child, you can talk to the heart of the mother concubine every word, how can you let the mother concubine not feel sorry for your child!"

In the past few years, especially in the days when Meng Lang was not in the capital, the Ning family and Meng Xia were like relying on each other, even if she was hard-hearted, she had already really liked this child.

Now that I think about it, no matter what, the fate between her and Ah Xia has long been as predestined as heaven, whether it is a daughter or a daughter-in-law in the future, it will be the same!

"Mother!"

Seeing this, Meng Xia took advantage of the situation and drilled into Ning's arms, and sprinkled a handful of coquettishness openly, which made Ning giggle for a while.

"Good boy, just now your third emperor brother has told me everything about yesterday, you think very right, and you have done a good job, the mother concubine is the same as your third emperor brother, no matter what idea you make, how you want to deal with the Liu family, the mother concubine agrees, and will help you!"

Ning patted the back of Meng Xia's hand and said, "Although you don't say anything on weekdays, the concubine knows that you still have your mother's hatred in your heart, since you feel that the right time has come, then rest assured to do it!" ”

This is really not just a matter of words, after all, Liu Guifei is also a great trouble for her, and it must be a good thing if she can solve it at one time.

"Mother concubine, third brother, you shouldn't know yet, I just got the news halfway through the morning to Mu Qing Palace, and Concubine Xi was hanged in the cold palace last night."

Meng Xia quickly said the news, and at the same time said: "The result submitted by the cold palace is that the concubine committed suicide, and today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, of course, no one will report her death to her father and emperor, and after the fifteenth year of the New Year, it is estimated that this matter will be over." ”

"What, Concubine Xi hanged herself?"

Ning was extremely surprised at the moment, but he didn't expect that as soon as this person entered the cold palace, he would say that he was gone.

"I'm afraid that suicide is fake, and it is true that someone from the Liu family killed him and pretended to commit suicide!"

Meng Lang immediately revealed the truth, in his opinion, Xi Concubine would not be so anxious to die, especially since Ah Xia had only been to the cold palace yesterday.

Even if Concubine Xi really feels hopeless to get out of the cold palace, according to her temperament, she at least has to wait to see what kind of fate will happen to the person who harmed her.

"The third brother is right, I have sent someone to secretly investigate the cause of Concubine Xi's death, and the Liu family has nothing to do with this!"

Meng Xia said in a deep voice: "I hope to be able to collect some useful evidence and use it when the time comes." ”

"This Xi concubine is also a pitiful person, but she can only be reduced to the queen's pawn, and in the end she was used by the Liu family to death, in this harem, there has never been a shortage of such poor and hateful people!"

Ning shook his head slightly, and seemed to be quite emotional: "Ah Xia, do you want to tell your father the truth about Concubine Xi's death?" If so, you still have to be cautious, after all, if the Liu family dares to do this, it will definitely not leave evidence unfavorable to her, as long as she is killed and refuses to admit it, even if she knows that she did it, the emperor will not do anything to her! ”

"Mother concubine, of course the father knows the truth about the death of Concubine Xi, but it is not for me to tell you, not you, and not the third emperor brother!"

Meng Xia sat there, his eyes slightly clouded, and said word by word: "Whether it is the matter of Xi Concubine, or the death of my mother, or the evil things that the Liu family has done over the years, I will let her say it in public, so that my father can hear it clearly!" ”

These words suddenly made the Ning family and Meng Lang on the side all stunned.

Obviously, it is even more difficult to make the Liu family explain all kinds of evil things by himself, which is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, can it be said that Ah Xia really has a way to do such a degree?

"Asha, you already have a specific plan, right?" Ning asked expectantly.

"That's right, and I've already started the first step, so the mother concubine and the third brother will wait and see."

Meng Xia said calmly, the specific plan had been entrenched in her heart for many years, and now that everything was ready, even the east wind came, then of course she would not miss such a good opportunity.

The dinner party of the Chinese New Year's Eve was extremely lively and grand, everyone seemed to have forgotten the other unhappiness, and the sound of celebration jumped everywhere in the palace.

At such a time, no one can think of the Xi Concubine who was still beautiful two days ago, maybe the alternation of prosperity and coldness in the palace is so cruel but realistic, and all the people who stay in this palace cage have long been familiar with such rules and numb.

The palace banquet was dispersed, and Emperor Meng Zhao went to the queen's palace to spend the night according to the law.

The big banquet dispersed, the small banquets in each palace were slowly set up, and there were not so many rules for the big and small, eating and drinking together, having fun and keeping the New Year until dawn to welcome the new year.

Meng Lang stayed in Muqing Palace today, and Meng Xia was naturally here to accompany the Ning family and keep the New Year with the three emperor brothers. (To be continued.) )
