After the dinner, the officials and family members who entered the palace also went out of the palace, Mei Ruxue waited until she saw off all the officials' families, and did not go to Kunning Palace, but took the maid to Cining Palace first, today the palace banquet happened like that, Mei Ruxue naturally wanted to go to Cining Palace to ask for guilt, after all, the queen mother of this palace banquet was given full authority to Mei Ruxue, but although Mei Ruxue went to ask for guilt, the queen mother did not blame Mei Ruxue, but let Mei Ruxue go back to rest with a pleasant face.

After Mei Ruxue left Cining Palace, the Queen Mother took the hand of her confidant Mama Xu and walked to the inner hall, and said to Mama Xu as she walked: "Ruxue, the queen, is doing better and better, it seems that I will be able to wait for my grandson with peace of mind after a while." ”

"The slave maid thinks that although the queen mother has done a good job, she is still indispensable to the queen mother's teaching." Xu Mama just smiled at the Queen Mother's words, she and the Queen Mother have been with each other for many years, it can be said that the relationship between the two is no longer an ordinary master and servant, the reason why the Queen Mother can sit firmly in the position of the Queen Mother, which is naturally indispensable to all kinds of hardships, and Xu Mama has experienced hardships all the way and still follows the Queen Mother, and the weight in the Queen Mother's heart is naturally different.

The Queen Mother glanced at Mama Xu with a light smile, and stopped talking, but she knew in her heart that Mama Xu's words were not all the truth, Mei Ruxue's position as the queen has become more and more stable, and her actions are quite old-fashioned, the only thing that is lacking is probably the experience, after all, the relationship between the harem today is still very simple, but the harem cannot have only one queen, and there are countless concubines, and there will be countless heirs in the future.

The queen's position should be stable, you can only rely on yourself, this is how the queen mother came over, the prince was not born weak and sickly, but the queen mother was too young at that time, and it was not like Mei Ruxue now, the queen mother cultivated her early, and the queen mother of the year did not slowly stabilize her position until she entered the palace and suffered hardships, but she was also calculated, and the prince was drugged soon after he was born. before he became frail and sickly.

Although the Queen Mother has been carefully protecting her first son, she still has not been able to keep the prince's life, and soon after the death of the prince, the Queen Mother and Concubine Li became pregnant. The first emperor was very happy at that time, but in the end, the queen mother gave birth to a princess, and Concubine Li gave birth to a prince. Although the Queen Mother has always wanted to have another prince, since the eldest princess, the Queen Mother has not been pregnant.

Just when the Queen Mother and the first emperor had given up and were ready to set up King Hui or King Jin as the crown prince, the Queen Mother suddenly became pregnant, and the prince who died early was twenty-two years old, and the last prince of the first emperor was made a prince at birth. I carefully studied all the suitable ladies in Beijing early, and only after discussing with the first emperor did Mei Ruxue decide.

The Queen Mother has carefully cultivated Mei Ruxue for more than ten years, and now if Mei Ruxue panics because of a little thing, I am afraid that it will disappoint the Queen Mother, but although the current Mei Ruxue makes the Queen Mother very satisfied, the Queen Mother still can't really wait to hold her grandson with peace of mind as she said to Mama Xu.

When Mei Ruxue returned to Kunning Palace, the emperor had been waiting in Kunning Palace for a while, it should be that after the courtiers left, the emperor came directly to Kunning Palace, Mei Ruxue did not expect that the emperor would come to Kunning Palace at this time. was a little surprised at first, and then immediately saluted and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”

"The queen doesn't have to be like this, I came to thank the queen for today's business, although there was some accident at the luncheon. But thanks to the queen, you thought of letting the fourth lady of the Jiang family take the words, although I and the queen mother both believe in the Jiang family, but "the way of the king is like this, even if it is very trusting, the king is the king, and the minister is the minister." Only this is absolute.

"Today's matter is the responsibility of the concubine, the concubine thanks to His Majesty and the Queen Mother for their kindness, as for the fourth miss of the Jiang family, the concubine just thought that the fourth lady did a good job when His Majesty asked the concubine to pass the word, so the concubine will have the courage to mention to His Majesty today and let Miss Jiang Si pass on the word again." After the luncheon about King Hui, Mei Ruxue mentioned before the emperor that she reminded the Jiang family again through Minwei.

"It seems that this Miss Jiang Si is very likable, even" The emperor's words stopped at this point, making Mei Ruxue, who was listening on the side, a little strange, and couldn't help but turn her eyes to the direction of the emperor, but the emperor didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to talk about it, Mei Ruxue saw this and understood that probably the emperor didn't want to continue this topic, so although she was a little curious about what the emperor wanted to say, she also knew that she couldn't ask again.

The emperor naturally noticed the curiosity in Mei Ruxue's eyes, but he didn't plan to say it, when the queen mentioned the fourth lady of the Jiang family today, he actually thought of it a long time ago, because even if the queen didn't mention it, Mo Yan would do something, although Mo Yan never wanted to say it, but he also knew that Mo Yan had secretly gone to the Jiang family's house more than once.

Here when the emperor was still thinking about whether Mo Yan secretly went to see the Jiang family's house again, there was a tense atmosphere in King Hui's mansion over there, although he tried his best to suppress it when he was in the palace, but after returning to the mansion, King Hui immediately became furious, shouting for people to find the son, as if he was going to teach his son a good lesson.

"What? Who made my father so angry? King Hui was still furious, walking around the room constantly, Princess Hui was sitting calmly in the lower position, quietly drinking tea, the people below were standing in the corner with their heads down and not daring to make a sound, and the one who spoke was Zhou Moyan, who didn't know where to come out of nowhere, leaning on the door with a cynical smile.

"You still have the face to ask? What good deeds have you done in the palace today, do you want this king to say it again? Before King Hui saw Zhou Moyan, although he thought about teaching him a hard lesson, but after seeing him, he didn't dare to act, just pointed at Zhou Moyan angrily and said, and when King Hui spoke, Zhou Moyan just leaned on the door and watched coldly.

"What does this mean, Father? What have I done in the palace today to make my father so angry? Whether it is his expression or voice, Zhou Moyan at this moment is very different from his usual playful and impermanent appearance, and the whole person exudes a cold breath, which makes people feel that it is difficult to even get close, and King Hui also seems to be a little jealous of Zhou Moyan's current appearance, and his originally angry expression is frozen on his face.

"Look at what the prince said, your father just wanted to ask about today's luncheon." King Hui didn't speak, it was Princess Hui who spoke, probably because she saw King Hui's embarrassment, so she chose this time to speak to ease the atmosphere. After Princess Hui finished speaking, she saw King Hui cast an appreciative look at Princess Hui, and then turned her eyes to Zhou Moyan, as if waiting for his answer.

"Did something terrible happen at today's luncheon that made my father so angry?" Zhou Moyan naturally knew what Princess Hui said. But he didn't even look at the direction of Princess Hui, but just asked King Hui with a serious face.

"I know there is some unhappiness between you and your mother, but Yuru is your sister, and today I am about to propose marriage for her, why do you want to come out to harm me." King Hui saw that Zhou Moyan looked like he didn't eat oil and salt. I had to talk about the discord between Zhou Moyan and Princess Hui at the palace banquet at noon, and King Hui naturally knew about it, but he only mentioned it lightly.

"Mother? Father, you must be mistaken, my mother is long gone, as for her, it is your princess, but she is not my mother, as for today's luncheon, I am just worried that the imperial grandmother has forgotten me. That's why I said one more thing, what? Am I doing something wrong? The serious expression on Zhou Moyan's face suddenly disappeared, and he replied to King Hui with a cynical look.

"That's enough, you go down." King Hui didn't seem to want to argue with Zhou Moyan anymore, so he waved his hand at Zhou Moyan with a very irritable look, Zhou Moyan listened to King Hui's words, and didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, so he wanted to say something when he saw the figure of his personal servant Pinmo dangling at the gate of the courtyard, but he didn't enter the courtyard.

"What's the matter?" Because he saw Pinmo's figure, Zhou Moyan did not continue to talk to King Hui. Instead, he walked out of the room very simply, and waited until he left the courtyard to ask Pinmodao, if it wasn't for something, he would definitely not find this side.

"Zhao Gongzi asked someone to send a message. He is waiting for you in Baihualou. Pin Mo looked around, and finally whispered in Zhou Moyan's ear, although it is not a strange thing for Zhou Moyan to go to Baihualou, but Zhao Wenbo is famous for his gentleness and elegance in Beijing, even if there is Zhou Moyan, a friend who likes to linger in Flower Street and Willow Lane, it has not affected Zhao Wenbo's reputation. So at this moment, Pinmo was also afraid of Zhao Wenbo's reputation, so he didn't say it out loud.

Zhou Moyan seems to be a little surprised, Zhao Wenbo rarely does such a thing, it is actually the emperor and himself who often meet in the Baihualou, Zhao Wenbo is called by the two of them most of the time, so at this moment Zhao Wenbo went to Baihualou in advance, and sent someone to inform him, no wonder Pinmo will be in a hurry to find himself, Zhou Moyan thought so, so he said to Pinmo: "Let's go, let's go to Baihualou to go shopping." ”

And after Zhou Moyan left the courtyard, King Hui drove everyone out of the room, and said angrily to Princess Hui: "In the past few days, you have carefully investigated the young ladies of all families in the capital, regardless of the concubines, and this king still doesn't believe it, in this huge capital, can't you find anyone who wants to be the princess of King Hui's mansion, if you don't believe it, this king will find ten, can she still deny them one by one?" ”

After King Hui's words were finished, Princess Hui, who was originally sitting quietly drinking tea, stood up, walked to King Hui's side and gently stroked King Hui's back and persuaded gently: "Lord Wang, don't be angry, Mo Yan is still young and ignorant, plus his sister she went early, Mo Yan He will inevitably be dissatisfied with the misunderstanding of the prince and the concubine, and when Mo Yan is older in the future, he will naturally understand the prince's love for him, as for his family affairs, you don't have to say anything about the princess, how can the princess of the dignified Hui Wangfu be a concubine, In the past few days, the concubine will naturally think carefully about the concubines in various families in Beijing who have not yet decided to marry, so please relax, prince. ”

Princess Hui's words are very reasonable, far from the appearance of Min Wei who was embarrassed in Cining Palace before, I am afraid that this time Min Wei will feel that she sees two people when she sees such a Princess Hui, but unfortunately the two look very similar, Princess Hui looks like this Min Wei didn't see it, and she couldn't sigh, but King Hui seemed to be angry a lot, sighed and said: "Don't persuade me, I don't know what kind of evil this king created to give birth to such a son, I don't want to let this king worry at all, it will only make people angry all the time." ”

"Lord Wang, don't be angry, Mo Yan is only like this because of his sister's business, it will be fine in a few years, when my sister was alive, Mo Yan has always been very well-behaved and sensible, and the concubine has always been very envious of my sister having such a sensible son." After Princess Hui persuaded her two more words, she didn't wait for King Hui to speak, so she turned her head and spoke again: "Speaking of which, the concubine is in the palace today, and it seems that she has said something wrong, which has made the queen mother and the queen mother a little unhappy, and I don't know if the queen mother will be unhappy about it." ”

Since Princess Hui said this, King Hui naturally could only change the topic and ask what was going on, Princess Hui seemed to pause, and then said with a far-fetched smile: "Actually, it's nothing, when the concubine was in the queen harem today, the queen mother suddenly wanted to see Jiang Shilang's wife and daughter because of the queen's words, and then the queen mother and the queen mother seemed to be in a good mood after seeing the fourth lady of the Jiang family, and the concubine also laughed, but I don't know why it seemed to make the queen mother a little unhappy, the concubine was really in her heart."

Before Princess Hui finished speaking, she saw King Hui wave her hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you, she is just angry with you, you don't need to be so careful, don't worry, I won't be angry with you about this." ”

Princess Hui was still a little uneasy, but after listening to King Hui's words, she seemed to be relieved, but then she opened her mouth a little cautiously and said to King Hui: "Lord, it is the concubine who can't speak, which has caused so much trouble to the prince." After Princess Hui finished speaking, King Hui didn't speak, but just patted Princess Hui's hand to appease, and Princess Hui didn't say anything more when she saw this.

And just when King Hui was talking to Princess Hui, Zhou Moyan had already entered Baihualou, and after entering the room, he saw Zhao Wenbo sitting in the room waiting for him, the food on the table was still steaming, obviously Zhao Wenbo had calculated the time and waited for Zhou Moyan.
