Meng Cheng and Teng Qianniang sat in the main hall of the house, and their daughters-in-law Li Yuchan and Zhao Mingyue were divided into two sides, and the husband and wife exchanged glances, and then bowed their heads and discussed in a whisper.

And Li Yuchan said at this time: "Father, mother, I think it's better to add a few maids and mother-in-law to Yanni's sister first, so as to take care of her diet and daily life, especially if she is pregnant, she has been hijacked again, and the road is bumpy. ”

Zhao Mingyue was a little unhappy when she heard this, and suddenly felt that Li Yuchan's statement was just to cater to the wishes of the second elder, to seek satisfaction with grievances, and to be a good person;

She is already singing with a red face, but she sings with a white face to show her eldest woman's broad-mindedness and make herself look small-bellied;

As soon as she thought of this, Zhao Mingyue was sulking, but she also knew that the relationship between her husband and Jade Cicada was unbreakable, and the status in her mind was also higher than herself; And in front of the jade cicada, he can be regarded as a horizontal knife to win love, so he is also a step behind in terms of momentum; Besides, the second elder also wanted to take in this vixen, and the three of them were all standing on the same front, and they were also lonely, so it was difficult to stop them.

She thought for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, Sister Jade Cicada is very right, just arrange manpower for her according to my standards; Since I was happy, I knew that it is not easy for a woman to give birth, and this pregnancy is ten months, and she should take care of it. As for whether she is pregnant with her husband's flesh and blood, I will talk about it when my husband comes back. ”

After she finished speaking, she felt that what she said later was a little inappropriate, and she saw that the second elder and Li Yuchan looked at her when they heard the voice, and their faces were a little unkind, especially her mother-in-law Teng Qianniang was even more angry, and she snorted on her mouth.

Li Yuchan saw that the scene was a little stiff, and hurriedly said: "Sister Mingyue is also kind, but she doesn't know some inside information; In fact, my husband didn't tell me that he had an affair with Sister Yanni, so I knocked on the side and learned about it through Sister Miaoniang. ”

She wanted to make a personal promise to Zhang Miaoniang in order to repay her husband's life-saving grace, but her husband was unmoved, so she secretly blew a love cigarette into her husband's room.

Who knew that something went wrong in the middle, and before she could go in, Yelu Yanni entered her husband's room one step ahead of her, so by mistake, the two got along, but unexpectedly, the two got together once, and Yelu Yanni became pregnant.

According to the number of months Yelu Yanni was pregnant, it also coincided with the time period when she and her husband got along during their trip to Yangzhou, so she concluded that the child in Yelu Yanni's womb was her husband's.

Meng Cheng and Teng Qianniang listened to it, and suddenly realized, the doubts in their hearts also disappeared, and they also made up their minds to let their grandchildren (daughters) land safely.

Jade Cicada said to Zhao Mingyue again: "Sister Mingyue, it's best to talk to the Queen Mother about this matter first, after all, Sister Yanni's affection for her husband is also known to the Queen Mother; And now that the war between Song and Liao is in full swing, the identity of Yanni's sister is embarrassing and sensitive, so she must make it clear to the Queen Mother in case her husband's political enemies are used as handles in turn to take the opportunity to attack her husband. ”

Zhao Mingyue also had an epiphany when she heard it, she was also clear about the stakes, and she didn't care about it with Yelu Yanni, so she rushed to the palace.

She soon arrived at the palace, all the way to the palace, she arrived at the queen mother's bedroom from time to time, and at this time Zhao Zhen was also here, the two seemed to be discussing, Zhao Zhen was speaking generously, and Liu E showed a little worry on her face.

She coughed when she saw Zhao Mingyue, and Zhao Zhen stopped talking when he saw this, so he nodded to Zhao Mingyue with a smile.

He opened his mouth and asked: "Imperial sister, you are pregnant with Liujia, and you don't look at the cold weather, and you don't recuperate at home, what is the matter here?" ”

Zhao Mingyue hurriedly said: "Official, I originally wanted to tell the Queen Mother about something big, you are here just right, you don't need me to run again." ”

When Zhao Zhen and Liu E heard this, they immediately became curious, and the two immediately pricked up their ears and listened to her.

At this time, Zhao Mingyue said: "The queen mother, the official family, the third princess of the Liao Kingdom has arrived in my house, and she is already pregnant with Liujia, it is said that she is pregnant with the child of my husband Jun Meng Ming, and now she has settled in my house." So I came to report it urgently. ”

At this time, Liu E and Zhao Zhen were taken aback when they heard this, and then both of them looked at her with understanding, and then the two exchanged glances, and they both showed a look of understanding.

Liu E said with a smile; "Mingyue, are you here to test the mourning family? Yelu Yanni's arrival is like a hot yam to your Meng family, don't you think that Song Liao is at war now, and you are afraid that Meng Ming will be implicated? The mourning family estimated that Meng Ming's parents must have also gotten the news, and urged Yelu Yanni to stay. ”

Zhao Zhen also said: "Imperial sister, do you know that one of the key reasons for the war between the Liao State and my Great Song Dynasty is that the princess of the Yue Kingdom was abducted into the territory of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

When Zhao Mingyue heard this, her head suddenly became bigger, she complained a little about Meng Lang of her family, looking at the situation, this matter can't be good, and her husband will lose his official position.

She hurriedly distinguished: "The queen mother, the official family, this incident happened too suddenly, besides, Yelu Yanni seduced my husband first, and my husband is also innocent." ”

Liu E said: "Mingyue, your husband Meng Ming is not a good bird, as the saying goes, "flies don't bite seamless eggs"; He was good, he went to Yangzhou, married a concubine, and made the third princess of Liao pregnant, which is really very capable. ”

Zhao Mingyue was shocked when she heard this, her husband and concubine did not alarm outsiders, nor did she make a noise, how did the Queen Mother know? She looked at Zhao Zhen again, and saw that he seemed to know about it.

At this time, I saw a eunuch come to report, saying that it was Liu Mei, the secretary of the imperial city, who asked to see him, and Liu E hurriedly asked people to announce him in.

In fact, Liu Mei's original name was Gong Mei, and she and Liu E were husband and wife, but Liu E was taken by Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, and the two broke up, but although Gong Meimei lost her wife Liu E, Liu E is also a loving and righteous person, and she takes good care of her ex-husband. Gong Mei later married a wife and had children, if it weren't for Liu E, Gong Mei might have been poor for the rest of her life.

In order to hide people's eyes, Liu E recognized Gong Mei as her brother, and Gong Mei also changed her surname to Liu and became Liu Mei; In this way, the former husband and wife became brother and sister.

Soon after Zhenzong Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne, Gong Mei was made the general of the Guards. The guards of the Song Dynasty were generally only served by the descendants of ministers and those close to the emperor, which shows that Zhao Heng still trusts and takes care of Gong Mei. As Liu E's power in the harem increased step by step, Gong Mei was gradually reused by Zhao Heng.

At this time, Liu Mei was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Division, and was in charge of the palace ban, Zhou Lu's guard, and espionage intelligence. It is the royal eagle dog institution, which is equivalent to the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

He stepped forward and saluted: "Wechen participated in the official family and the queen mother, and Wechen came to report two major events. ”

Zhao Zhen asked him to calm down, and then listened to him play: "The two major events of the official family, the queen mother, and Weichen are reported, one of which is that Yelu Yanni, the princess of Yue Kingdom of the Liao Dynasty, appeared in front of Meng Yuma's mansion and was accepted by him; Second, according to the secret agent of the Front-line Investigation Department, the 1st Lu Division did annihilate 5,000 Liao troops, and the good news was true, there was no case of killing good people and making meritorious contributions, and the 1st Lu Division had already occupied Zhuozhou. ”

When Zhao Mingyue heard this, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly called luck, glad that she had informed Yelu Yanni of the news one step in advance, otherwise she would be suspicious of the royal family, and her family would inevitably be criticized by the imperial court at that time.

Liu E looked at Zhao Mingyue at this time, with a hint of playfulness on her face, but Zhao Mingyue could see from her expression that her belongings were in danger, and her anxious heart calmed down, so she hurriedly found a reason to say goodbye and go home.
