Following Xiao Liu's father-in-law out of Kunning Palace, standing under the bright sun, Mei Ru felt a little dizzy.

Although she was articulate and a little crooked in her mouth, she never said so many and so astringent words. Previously, Emperor Yanchang asked her to defend himself as Mr. Gongsun's white horse is not a horse. ——Mr. Gongsun is a master of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, who can speak well, and the white horse is not a horse is also Mr. Gongsun's famous work. Now, the series of "white horses, horses, non-horses" from the two opposite sides of Mei Ru are enough to make people dizzy. She forced herself to calm down, so she didn't wrap herself in.

After Mei Ru finished speaking heartily, there was silence in Kunning Palace.

Mei Ru knelt there, not knowing what to think.

Above, Empress Li gently rubbed her temples, and her armor shone slightly.

Emperor Yanchang didn't speak, only waved his hand and asked Mei Ru to retreat first.

Now that she followed Xiao Liu's father-in-law to the outside of the palace, Mei Ru's mind was fluctuating, and she finally settled down to ponder today's events. She still felt that something was wrong, and it was too coincidental that these things fell on her head together. Mei Ru quietly twisted her eyebrows.

However, although this incident came by coincidence, it also came wonderfully.

If she enters the eyes of Emperor Yanchang and can go with Honglu Temple, it will simply add wings to her reputation. The prince wants to accept her as a side concubine, and he has to think about it more. Even if she wants to be accepted as the crown princess in the future, Mei Ru can have the courage to say "no".

Thinking like this, she didn't tell anyone about it when she returned home that day, and only quietly hid in her room. If it was known by the Qiao family or the old ancestor, it would definitely not be allowed. On this day, it wasn't until Mei Yin came back from the yamen at night that Mei Ru's affairs were known by Qiao's family!

In this way, Mei Ru was summoned to Qiao's courtyard.

I saw Meiyin sitting there with her eyebrows entangled, and Qiao's face didn't know whether it was joy or worry, and when she saw her, she sighed heavily.

"Follow-the-road." Mei Yin called her in a deep voice, and slowly spoke, "Today, His Majesty summons Daddy into the palace...... "Emperor Yanchang summoned Mei Yin into the palace today." As a squire of the Ministry of Rites who was not very taken seriously, Mei Yin was surprised when he received the emperor's summons-he rarely saw the emperor in ordinary times. When he knelt in the Qianqing Palace, hearing what Emperor Yanchang said to him, Mei Yin became more and more surprised!

Emperor Yanchang said: "Ling Qianjin has a little talent for sophistry, and she is familiar with foreign languages, I want to send her to Honglu Temple this time, what does Mei Qing think?" ”

Coming out of the Qianqing Palace, Mei Yin was still stunned. He knew that Xunxun's mouth was unforgiving, and his petty temperament was even more delicate and savage, he never thought that this could also enter His Majesty's eyes? Mei Yin's heart was happy for a while, but she could think that she had not yet followed the rules, let alone left the cabinet, this kind of thing of showing up was really ......

In this way, he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

Now that she saw her daughter standing in front of her delicately and softly, Mei Yin sighed and said, "Follow-up, what do you think of yourself?" ”

Mei Ru replied: "Last year, I followed my aunt to Pingliang, and my father also helped persuade my mother, saying that it is good for my daughter's family to go out to see and learn, otherwise I will be bored in the boudoir all day long, and my vision will be so narrow......"

Qiao Shi couldn't sit still when he heard this, and glared over and said, "What's the use of having a wide vision?" Who picks a daughter-in-law to see the vision? Which girl in the capital is like you, crazy outside all day long? ”

was scolded by her mother, Mei Ru lowered her eyes slightly, blinked with a pair of eyes, and was a little aggrieved.

Qiao's had to teach her another lesson, so Mei Yin couldn't bear her daughter, and hurriedly said: "Madam, just follow the way, this is a great joy that His Majesty has taken a fancy to the talent of the followers!" Qiao Shi looked at Mei Yin, and then looked at Xunxun, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Seeing that this battle is over, Mei Xiang has not returned safely, and now that he is going to that kind of place again, how can Qiao's not be angry?

Mei Ru whispered: "Mother, aren't you looking forward to my appearance?" ”

Qiao's beating his chest: "Mother just hopes that you will study more, and you can earn a little reputation for the girl's family, who will let you ......" Seeing Mei Ru standing there with her head drooping, Qiao's words couldn't be spoken, and she sighed: "That's it, you and your brother have no conscience!" ”

That's it, Mei Ru smiled lightly.

Qiao's still protected her, and only said to Mei Yin: "Follow the matter, you still go to your mother to talk ......"

"Yes." Mei Yin didn't dare not listen.

On this night, Mei Yin came back from Chunxi Hall, Qiao asked him how he was, Mei Yin spread his hands and said, "What else?" Now it's His Majesty's words, and my mother can't help it. Qiao's heart was sour, but he still scolded angrily: "These two little ones have no conscience! ”

Mei Yin wiped her tears for her, and coaxed: "If Madam dislikes it, let's have another one......"

"Nothing serious!" Qiao Shi scolded, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, glanced at him and said, "Why didn't the master go to those people?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Mei Yin panicked a little and had to beg for mercy.

……

The next day, Mei Ru followed Qiao's to Chunxi Hall to say goodbye.

Looking at this granddaughter, Mrs. Du shook her head, and couldn't help but laugh and say angrily: "Follow the rules, follow the rules, I thought you could follow the rules, but I didn't expect your girl to go down the road to the black ......" said and sighed, beckoning: "Come here to talk." ”

Mei Ru walked over, and it was rare to sit next to the old ancestor, and on the other side of Mrs. Du was Mei Qian. The two sisters looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Everyone in the mansion also knew that Mei Ru was handpicked by Emperor Yanchang, and they were congratulating around Qiao's at this time. Qiao Shi was still reluctant in his heart, and said: "I just hope to be like Sister Qian'er, staying at home and attracting pain." ”

Mei Qian smiled and said: "Auntie, I still envy the third sister, I don't have these blessings because I am weak." ”

Qiao said: "Sister Qian'er's blessing is behind." ”

The old ancestor smiled and said, "Several girls in our house have their own blessings. ”

Mei Ru's matter was thus decided. She will go to Mr. Pingyang to take leave today. For this matter, Mr. Pingyang was very much in favor of it, and he couldn't help but be pleased, and left several more homework, only telling Meiru not to be lazy. Mei Ru scratched her head and said, "Students don't dare." ”

Coming out of Mr. Pingyang's house, Mei Ru had already thought about it and wanted to go to Sister Dong's place to have a look. Maybe I will be able to meet Hu Sanbiao in the past this time, and I don't know when Sister Dong and his marriage will be postponed, it was originally said that after the Spring Festival, it is now February.

After hearing that Mei Ru was going west again, Dong Shi definitely glanced at Mei Ru and smiled heartily: "Follow is becoming more and more capable." ”

Mei Ru said embarrassedly: "It's just a coincidence." He asked Dong again: "What news does Brother Hu have come back?" ”

Dong shook his head: "Not yet." ”

Mei Ru let out an "oh", and subconsciously worried: "My brother has no news." As soon as she said this, Mei Ru knew that she had said the wrong thing, and stuck out her tongue, and the roots of her ears turned red.

Dong lowered his eyes lightly, and he didn't care about the appearance.

Mei Ru then asked, "Good sister, do you have anything to hand to Brother Hu?" I should be able to meet him this time. ”

Dong's eyebrows were still faint, embroidered a few stitches, and said without waves: "There is nothing to say, just let him be safe outside." ”

Mei Ru nodded.

On the way back home, thinking of seeing her brother in the past this time, Mei Ru was happy and worried, and she didn't know what happened to her brother over there. The carriage entered the Guogong Mansion, and when Mei Ru was about to arrive at Qiao's courtyard, she saw someone hesitating at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, and then took a closer look, one of them was actually Aunt Zhao!

I haven't met this person for almost a year, Mei Ru almost forgot about her, and now she looks emaciated, which is estimated to be the root cause of the disease that fell during childbirth last year.

Seeing Mei Ru, Aunt Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and stammered, "Third girl." ”

"What?" For Sister Yue's sake, Mei Ru asked this sentence well.

Aunt Zhao said: "I heard that the girl was ordered by His Majesty to go to the west, thinking that if the girl saw the uncle there, I would mention Sister Yue to him." ”

It's really pitiful for the hearts of parents all over the world...... Mei Ru sighed secretly, her disgust for this person was slightly reduced, she nodded and said coldly: "That's nature." Then Aunt Zhao rubbed for a while, and seemed to want to say something more, but Mei Ru didn't want to listen to it more. Looking at Mei Ru's back, Aunt Zhao frowned.

When Mei Ru walked into Qiao's room, Qiao's and Liu's mother were applying medicine to Sister Yue'er on the kang. The kang was hot, and the medicine to wipe off the rash had to be wiped off, so Sister Yue wore a belly pocket at this time. White, chubby, and especially cute.

Mei Ru didn't go over the night, only looked at the side for a while, and said, "Mother, I'll draw a picture for Sister Yue'er." ”

"What do you do with those paintings?"

"Bring it to my brother."

Qiao Shi paused in his hand and sighed: "It's okay." Sister Yue'er has been here for eight months, and your brother hasn't seen it yet, so he's ruthless. ”

Mei Ru asked Jingqin to serve the pen and ink, and Sister Yue was lying there, her body was restrained and she couldn't move, only her head turned to face Mei Ru. Blinking her dark eyes, she grinned at Meiru and smirked, not knowing what the little girl was laughing at. Mei Ru looked at it in a daze, and she only felt soft and a little uncomfortable in her heart.

After painting Sister Yue in three days, it was time for Mei Ru to leave Beijing.

There are not too many people who sent Xiqiang this time, there are five people from Honglu Temple, one of them is a chief envoy, one deputy envoy, plus one Mei Ru, and dozens of guards.

On the day she left Beijing, Mei Ru simply didn't ask anyone in the house to send it, and she wanted to cry if she was reluctant to save it.

When she left the city gate, Mei Ru quietly lifted the curtain and looked out.

She saw Fu Zhao like this. The man was in a private room in a tea house on the street.

In fact, the two met yesterday. Yesterday, Empress Li summoned Mei Ru into the palace again to show her grace. After Mei Ru left the palace, she met Fu Zhao.

Fu Zhao came to her specifically.

Regarding Mei Ru's follow-up to the envoy, Fu Zhao couldn't figure it out when he heard the news in the past two days. Later, after thinking about it left and right, he estimated that it was the plan of the seventh brother, after all, he was in the capital, under the noses of the queen and the prince, and he could summon him whenever he wanted, he could only watch, there was no other way, he was in a hurry. Now that he is going to make a mission, he can not only add more fame, but also make the prince more jealous and considerate......

After thinking about it like this, Fu Zhao felt that Seventh Brother's idea was very appropriate.

Seeing Mei Ru, Fu Zhao didn't fight anymore, and only said: "You pay attention outside, it's not the capital after all." After thinking about it, he whispered again: "I have a letter here, follow the instructions you handed over to my seventh brother." ”

"Letter?" Mei Ru frowned.

Fu Zhao replied calmly: "Yes, I bother Brother Qi to take care of you more." ”

Hearing this, Mei Ru couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, what is this? She didn't answer the letter, but replied coldly: "I can do it myself, I don't bother His Highness, and I don't dare to bother His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

Now that she sees Fu Zhao again, thinking of these messy things, Mei Ru lowered her eyes uncomfortably. She lowered the curtain and frowned slightly.
