It was the little eunuch in the Queen Mother's palace who came to pick them up, very inconspicuous, even if they were killed casually, no one cared.

The little eunuch followed them tremblingly, sweating profusely in the winter. Zhuang Minhua looked at him pitifully, and asked him softly what his name was, how old he was, and how could he probe outside the temple gate?

The little eunuch replied in a low voice: "The slave is called Laifu, I am twelve years old this year, and my father-in-law Qiu sent me over and asked me to invite the princess of the county to go over to see the queen mother." I asked people, but they ignored me, and I was afraid that my father-in-law would scold me, so I went to take a peek myself. "Father-in-law Qiu is the great eunuch of Ci'an Palace.

This stupid and stupid one, the emperor's palace is also something you can spy on? Thanks to the emperor's face for the queen mother, and because he got what he wanted, he let him go after asking the reason. I really don't know how he survived in this deep palace.

While speaking, he arrived outside the gate of Ci'an Palace, Zhuang Minhua stuffed a gold thread purse into Laifu, "Take it and buy candy for yourself." ”

When Laifu heard that he could buy candy to eat, his eyes suddenly lit up, he glanced at Zhuang Minhua gratefully, and went in to say goodbye.

When he was young, Gonggong Qiu hurriedly came out with a smile, "The Queen Mother Xuanjun and the princess of Xuanjun are here." ”

Zhuang Minhua gave a look to Mama Zhang, who was silently following behind her, and then followed Meng Jinghan in. Maids are not allowed to enter the palace, but Mama Zhang can. Mama Zhang has a grade, and she has the permission of the Queen Mother to enter the palace to visit her at any time, so it is no problem to let Mama Zhang inquire about some news.

Mama Zhang comprehended, stuffed a purse into Grandpa Qiu, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Qiu, it's been a long time." You're still so energetic. I heard you got promoted? Congratulations. ”

Father-in-law Qiu was stunned, pointed at Mama Zhang and said, "Ah...... It turned out to be Mama Zhang, why are you here? Didn't you come to see the Queen Mother? The two of them just talked to each other.

The queen mother in the main hall was the first to talk to Concubine Yu and other concubines, and Princess Leyang also sat aside, talking coquettishly, so lively.

A big palace maid walked in from outside the hall and whispered to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this, and she didn't say anything for a while, and the others didn't dare to speak at once. There was silence in the main hall.

Meng Jinghan and Zhuang Minhua were coming in at this time. The eyes in the hall suddenly focused on the two of them.

Meng Jinghan knelt down to the Queen Mother as if no one was around, and Zhuang Minhua followed.

The Queen Mother raised her hand, "Get up!" Thinking of the news she had just gotten, her heart became complicated. Meng Jinghan looks like Yue. Except for a pair of black and white eyes like his father King Rong. When I grow up. Because it is caged with ice all year round. It's not like it anymore. But when Meng Jinghan glanced at Zhuang Minhua softly, she saw the expression of her youngest son looking at Yue's in a trance.

has that kind of fate, even if she is the mother of the Son of Heaven. It can't stop the emperor's murderous intentions. As long as the youngest son's bloodline can be passed on, she can't care about the rest when she gets old. Back then, she was able to tolerate King Rong guarding the Yue family alone, leaving only Meng Jinghan's bloodline. Now she can no longer tolerate Meng Jinghan and only spoil the Zhuang family. As long as the youngest son's bloodline can remain, the emperor can do whatever he wants! After all, this grandson is not close, and after all, she has a grandson who hurts.

made up her mind, the Queen Mother turned to Zhuang Minhua,

"Zhuang, since you are the wife of my Meng family, you must always remember the way of being a woman, serve your husband, be filial to your in-laws, and spread the branches of our Meng family. DID YOU KNOW? ”

"Granddaughter-in-law knows." Zhuang Minhua knelt down and listened.

The Queen Mother nodded, "Jing Han is already twenty, but he has no children under his knees, how can he be worthy of his father under Jiuquan?" As the main room of Jing Han, you should invite a side servant for him to extend the bloodline of King Rongjun. It's just that I pity you for being newly married, and I won't mention this concubine for the time being, but this concubine should accept a few for him. With them helping you serve your husband, you can take care of your backyard and serve your mother-in-law. You don't have to bother with the question of candidates, I already have four Jiao'e who have been trained here, and they are the most obedient. You take it back, so that you can live and settle down, and you must not act as a concubine in the main room, and compete with the concubines to be jealous. You know, the main room should have the style of the main room......"

Zhuang Minhua knelt down and only listened to the Queen Mother talking non-stop, and he was about to explode. What's the old lady who keeps talking about this is really the kind queen mother she saw last time? Didn't you get a U-turn? All right! I guess I didn't drop the bag, I just had a convulsion!

"The Queen Mother's ......" Meng Jinghan stepped forward to interrupt the Queen Mother's talk, "The grandson has no intention of taking a concubine." ”

The Queen Mother also ignored him, and looked at Zhuang Minhua with sharp eyes, "Zhuang, what do you think?" ”

"Queen Mother......" Before Meng Jinghan finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother. You shut up! The Queen Mother said sharply, she seemed to see King Rong who disobeyed her for the Yue clan again, both father and son were so virtuous, and they were all eaten to death by a woman.

"Okay, I'm tired too, so let's leave it for today! Mama Jiang, you call out a few Die'er and let the Zhuang family take them back to the house. ”

The Queen Mother decided everything strongly, turned around and went to the inner room to rest. Leaving a room full of people looking at each other, the first time the Rongjun Wang and his wife entered the palace to thank the Queen Mother, they were under the Queen Mother or something, and the explosion point was too much, they really wanted to gossip. But they wanted to see the reaction of the parties, so none of them left.

Princess Leyang was stunned from the sidelines, and she didn't have time to react, and when she reacted, the Queen Mother left early.

She sympathetically pulled up Zhuang Minhua, who was still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't find a good word of comfort for a while, what kind of man has three wives and four concubines is the norm or something, she can't say it, after all, she was given a concubine by the Queen Mother on the third day of marriage, which is too a slap in the face, what's wrong with the Queen Mother?

Before she could come up with words, Concubine Yu had an old problem and had a terrible headache. Princess Leyang had no choice but to say goodbye to Zhuang Minhua apologetically and help Concubine Yu go back.

Zhuang Minhua was not in the mood to take care of her, thanked her slightly, and then looked at Meng Jinghan.

He stood there with his head hung down, not knowing what he was thinking. But Zhuang Minhua knew that he was also uncomfortable. Although the Queen Mother is her face today, her face is not his, husband and wife are one. She stretched out her hand to hold Meng Jinghan's hand. His hands were hidden in his sleeves, and his fists were clenched, and his tendons burst out. She broke his clenched hand and shoved her small delicate hand inside.

Meng Jinghan glanced back at her, and the look in her eyes made her want to cover his eyes and not let him show such a sad and desperate look. Zhuang Minhua only had time to take a look, and the look in his eyes disappeared without a trace, he was not a cowardly man. But is there anything else she doesn't know?

"Let's go!" Meng Jinghan held her hand and was about to walk out.

Mama Jiang rushed up and stopped them. "Please also ask the princess of the county to bring the four of Die'er."

Meng Jinghan paused. Said coldly: "Can't they walk without legs?" Do you want to send a few guards to carry them back? ”

Really let the guards hug it, is their innocence still there? The four girls were too frightened to make a sound, and looked at Mama Jiang for help.

Mama Jiang glanced at them and said with a smile: "Then you will follow the princess of the county." If you can't keep up. I can't really let the guards carry you over. ”

The four girls shuddered. Qi Qi followed behind Zhuang Minhua, bowing his head and not daring to speak.

"The princess of that county is easy to walk, and the road is slippery in cold weather. Watch your step. Mama Jiang bent down slightly.

Meng Jinghan pulled Zhuang Minhua to pass directly in front of her without looking back. The four girls hurriedly followed behind Zhuang Minhua.

Mama Jiang was so angry with Meng Jinghan's attitude that her face changed, and then she looked at the concubines who were still watching the excitement on the side. said angrily: "The Queen Mother has rested, please go back!" With that, he turned around and went to the apse.

A concubine couldn't help but take a sip, "Diao slave!" ”

The good concubine hurriedly grabbed her, "You don't want to die?" Beware of her suing you in front of the Queen Mother. ”

Frightened, the concubine closed her mouth and hurried away.

Next, Zhuang Minhua and Meng Jinghan went to the queen's Kunning Palace again. The queen had already received the news, glanced at the four girls with a smile, said a few words of encouragement, rewarded them with some things, and sent them out.

The light snow had long since stopped, and the sky was a little clearer. The rice and snow that fell on the ground turned into a piece of water, seeping everywhere, and there were palace maids and eunuchs sweeping and wiping the stagnant water along the road.

Walking on the road, Zhuang Minhua glanced at Meng Jinghan, his expression was flat, but the cold of the past covered his handsome face again.

The two walked out quietly, and Mama Zhang came from the fork in the road and joined the crowd behind them. Zhuang Minhua glanced at her and exchanged looks.

Just when Zhuang Minhua thought that this should be the case today, they just had to leave the palace safely.

Unexpectedly, a group of people came to meet him, the first eldest prince Chen Wang Meng Jingkun, wearing a two-color golden dragon vermilion diagonal wide-sleeved robe, with a light gold jacket inside, and a stone blue fox fur cloak. He is handsome, with long eyebrows and thin eyes, but there is a slight blackness of overindulgence under his eyes. Seeing Meng Jinghan and his wife, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he walked over quickly with a smile on his face.

Behind him was Meng Jingkang, the second prince of Jin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a loyal and honest face, wearing a royal blue gold five-color embroidered dragon narrow-sleeved satin robe, and a moon-white jacket inside.

The third prince of Han, King Meng Jingjiang, and the fourth prince, King Min Meng, walked side by side, they are brothers of the same father and mother, but they don't look like each other, the King of Han looks like Emperor Zhaoyuan, looks handsome, wearing a golden cloud dragon dark sleeved satin robe, inside is a big red jacket, wearing a light gold mink fur cloak of the same color.

King Min is somewhat similar to Concubine Zheng, with thin eyebrows and big eyes, dressed in a moon-white flat gold dragon satin robe, with a dark green jacket inside, and a gold-painted ink paper fan in his hand. Although he walked unhurriedly, his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhuang Minhua.

After seeing each other, Zhuang Minhua avoided the side. Meng Jinghan blocked Zhuang Minhua behind him and stood with them. His good looks and distinctive temperament suddenly stood out among a bunch of gorgeously dressed princes.

Chen Chaohou glanced at it and said with a smile: "Taijing is really a good blessing, the beauty trained by Ci'an Palace, I can't even touch it, but Taijing got four at once."

Meng Jinghan said lightly: "If King Chen likes it, how about giving it all to you?"

King Chen's head suddenly shook like a rattle, joking, although he was lustful, but he also knew how to measure, otherwise why would the emperor never say that he was a good woman, only when he didn't care about his body, he only beat a few words.

A few people chatted a few more words, and King Chen suggested that everyone go out for a drink together, but Meng Jinghan couldn't refuse, so he had to agree.

But he couldn't take Zhuang Minhua with him, he helped Zhuang Minhua tighten the cloak on his body, and said softly to her: "I'll send you to the carriage, I'm sorry, I want you to go back alone." Zhuang Minhua shook his head, Meng Jinghan said hello to King Chen and sent Zhuang Minhua back to the carriage.

She also heard King Chen laughing at Meng Jinghan behind her back, "I didn't expect Taijing to know how to pity Xiang Xiang and cherish jade, this is an enlightenment, Yurou girl in Yuxiang Building has been thinking about Taijing, why don't you go and see her today?" ”

What the others answered, Zhuang Minhua didn't hear, she had already walked away.

Zhuang Minhua got into the carriage, and Meng Jinghan also followed. He held Zhuang Minhua's hand and said, "Minmin, you don't have to worry about the four of them, just find a yard to put down." I'll talk about the rest when I get back. ”

Zhuang Minhua bowed, and asked the others instead, "Are you going to Yuxiang Mansion to see that Yurou girl?" ”

Meng Jinghan was slightly stunned, "Who is Miss Yurou?" Then he reacted to what King Chen said just now, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "It's not up to me to decide where to go."

"Then you can't touch them when you go there." Zhuang Minhua stared at his eyes tightly.

Meng Jinghan stretched out his hand and scraped the bridge of her nose, "Vinegar jar, don't worry, I'm not interested in other women." ”

Zhuang Minhua grabbed him and sniffed, "If you're interested, don't touch it, you have to come back early, I'll wait for you at home." ”

Meng Jinghan nodded and said seriously: "Don't touch it, don't worry." As he spoke, he kissed Zhuang Minhua on the forehead, and told Mama Zhang and others to serve the princess of the county well, got out of the carriage, and explained to the coachman and his entourage, "Take care of the princess of the county and return to the house, and you can't go wrong." Then he turned and went towards the princes.

Zhuang Minhua lifted the corner of the curtain of the carriage and watched him walk towards the princes, and the carriage slowly set off.

Qian Hong handed a painting enamel begonia square hand stove that had been prepared a long time ago to Zhuang Minhua. Tangerine quickly poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her. Zhuang Minhua took a sip of tea in one hand and warmed it on the stove with the other.

Orange Huang was chattering on the side, "Master, what is it like in the palace?" Is it like Sister Qianhong said, the floor is made of gold, the walls are made of gold, and even the tiles on the eaves are made of gold. ”

"Poof" Zhuang Minhua laughed and glanced at Qianhong, "That's what your sister Qianhong told you?" Sne-red snickered.

Orange nodded hurriedly, "Yes! Master, isn't he? (To be continued......)
