After finishing the meal, Tuoba Zeyan went back to Huiluan Courtyard, and Liu Mengyan planned to continue to make up for sleep.

At that moment, Yang and Guo walked to the gate of Guilan Courtyard. Before the mother-in-law who was guarding the door could speak, she saw Yang and smiled: "Come and see the concubine, don't bother?" With that, he pulled Guo into the courtyard.

Qian Yu happened to be at the door, and hurriedly said: "Our princess is taking a nap, what is the matter with the two ladies?" ”

Guo and Yang looked at each other and smiled: "It's not that there is something wrong, since the concubine is asleep, let's wait for a while?" ”

The words were a question, but the person had already sat down next to the corridor at the gate, and it looked like he would not leave.

"Then the slave and maid go in and report it, and sit down in the ladies." Qian Yu said.

"Princess, Concubine Yang Shu and Concubine Guo Shu are here!" The little maid at the door came in to report to Bitong, Bitong walked to the bed and said to Liu Mengyan, who was about to take a nap, "Or, the slave maid will tell them that the princess is resting and let them go back?" ”

"Call them in!" Liu Ruli opened her eyes, "This is also their rule." ”

"Say hello to the concubine!" Yang and Guo came in together, one wearing an orange-red skirt and the other wearing a green skirt, and said to Liu Mengyan, who was sitting in the main seat of the hall.

"Get up! Two sisters sit down! Liu Mengyan said calmly, "Jinxiu sent it to you, right?" ”

Yang and Guo sat down alone, and when they saw her asking, Yang hurriedly said, "The splendid girl has already sent it over." It's the first time I've seen such a fabric for the concubine, and it's really bright. ”

"It's the first time I've seen such a piece of jewelry, it's really rare!" Guo Shi also said on the side.

None of them mentioned Li's half-sentence, and Liu Mengyan didn't mention it, so after a few gossips, they sent them back.

Out of the main courtyard, the smile on Yang's face disappeared in an instant, and Guo's face was also worried.

"Li's death is unknown, and the Queen Mother has sent messages three times and twice." Guo frowned.

"Then why didn't you ask Concubine Zheng just now?" Yang glanced at her and said.

"Sister, sister originally thought, sister will ask!" Guo's face was flattering.

"Concubine Zheng came back and sent us special products, which clearly means to live in peace with us. If you ask at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to ask anything! Yang said, "Anyway, she will enter the palace tomorrow to ask the Queen Mother for peace." The Queen Mother will definitely ask when the time comes. ”

The two of them walked all the way back, each with their own thoughts, and when they walked to the front of Yichun Pavilion, Guo Shi went in first.

"This Concubine Guo, I like to count on you in everything!" Bi'er said.

"Hmph, she's the most slippery! Li is a scheming person, and he doesn't know what he did outside, so he died like that? A hint of fear flashed in Yang's eyes.

"Concubine concubine, just now the slave maid quietly looked at the concubine and saw that she was wearing a strange bracelet on her wrist. I've never seen a bracelet like this before! Bi'er said.

"What kind?" Yang came and said with interest.

"It's like it's made of some kind of stone." Bi'er said.

"Can a stone make a bracelet? You're dazzled, aren't you? Yang said.

"Maybe the slave is wrong." Bi'er hurriedly shrunk her shoulders and said.

Early the next morning, Liu Mengyan wore a red gauze skirt, covered with a lighter champagne-colored humiliation, and tied a bow on her chest with a white skirt.

Bitong combed her with a double screw bun, and inserted a crystal tassel on each side. Then a small pearl the size of a grain of rice is strung with silver wire around the snail, and the snail is decorated with a little gold ornament such as butterflies and small flowers. A pair of white pearl earrings, round and smooth, at first glance is the best. There is a mutton fat jade bracelet on one side of the hand, and the bracelet of the core stone is worn on the right hand.

After a while, I heard Yunmo say outside: "Concubine Zheng, Sanfu's father-in-law sent someone to urge." ”

"Well, okay, it's just the right time, let's go." Liu Mengyan stood up with Bitong's hand, and finally glanced at herself in the mirror, and then went out with a smile.

The master and servant talked and laughed, and soon arrived at the door.

Tuoba Zeyan was wearing an indigo brocade robe, and when he looked back, he saw her clean and bright beauty, and couldn't help but say: "The princess is so beautiful!" ”

He always praised her beauty in front of everyone, and she gradually got used to it, and replied: "Your Highness is also a jade tree in the wind, and the instrument is publicized!" ”

Tuoba Zeyan stretched out his hand, held Liu Mengyan's slender jade hand, got into the carriage together, and the two talked about the things in the palace all the way, and walked for a while before they arrived.

"The princess will go and say hello to the Queen Mother first. The main hall is going to Chengtian Palace! Tuoba Ze said.

Liu Mengyan nodded, and then took Bitong and Jinxiu all the way to Yanshou Palace.

When I arrived at Yanshou Palace, I wore flowers and willows all the way, walked to the gate of the Queen Mother's main palace, and waited.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the inside called her in.

I saw that the Queen Mother was wearing a purple Baifu pattern gown, with a brown skirt underneath, and a flying bun on her head that was slightly inconsistent with her age, and a golden head with a phoenix spreading its wings was wearing in the center, which was very graceful and luxurious.

"Say hello to the Queen Mother." Liu Ruli walked to the right position and stood still, and said with a salute.

"Sit down, the sixth one." Empress Dowager Chen said.

"Concubine Xie Empress Dowager." Liu Ruli said lightly, without flattery, as if the dismount just now did not have it.

"Liu, what kind of official character is your mother's father?" Empress Dowager Chen asked bluntly.

Liu Ruli wants to laugh, is this directly trying to slap her in the face?

"Back to the words of the Queen Mother. The concubine was born in Changsheng Houfu. The concubine's father is a six-grade civil servant. Now the highest official position in the family is the second uncle of the concubine, the official worships the imperial history of Zuodu, and the prince and the prince. Liu Ruli's voice was still crisp and crisp, not twisted at all, not embarrassed, and not embarrassed.

"Oh? You're not from a high background. Empress Dowager Chen said.

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, the concubine's background is indeed not high." Liu Ruli said

"It's rare that you have a low status and can still be justified." Empress Dowager Chen said angrily.

"The concubine is stupid, I don't know what the Queen Mother said?" Liu Ruli smiled lightly.

Empress Dowager Chen's eyes shot out of anger, staring at her and saying, "How did Concubine Li Shu die?" She was pointed out to the sixth child by the mourning family! As a concubine, you should be generous-minded, tolerate the concubines, and live in peace with them, so as to reproduce children for the sixth child! ”

"Back to the Queen Mother's words, Concubine Li Shu was greedy to play with the lotus pond, and accidentally slipped into the pool and drowned! The concubine is responsible for mismanagement, and she has already taken the responsibility of serving the Li family's maids. Liu Mengyan is neither humble nor arrogant.

"How could a big living person in the Li family slide into the lotus pond by himself? It can't be someone who pushed it, right? Empress Dowager Chen looked at Liu Mengyan with a suspicious expression.

Hehe, some people just like to refer to the deer as a horse, reversing black and white!

Liu Mengyan was not half cowardly, she met the eyes of Empress Dowager Chen, and saw if she was half distracted!

Neither of them seems to see the emptiness in their eyes!

"Empress Dowager Qiyu, this concubine doesn't know. I had already asked the slave Rainbow who was serving the Li family, and she said that the Li family went to see the fish in the pond and accidentally slipped in. At that time, when the concubine rushed over, the rainbow man was also in the water, and immediately asked someone to jump down to save the person, but unfortunately the Li family was flooded for too long and could not be saved. Rainbow was saved. Liu Mengyan said with a pair of big beautiful eyes, not blushing at all for her depreciation story.

Liu Mengyan thought: Originally, it was Li Shitui's self, but now she is just covering up her evil deeds for her, she has to thank herself!

"That's it, the Li family is not a blessing. Go to the queen and say goodbye! Seeing that her momentum did not overwhelm Liu Mengyan, Empress Dowager Chen couldn't ask anything, so she had to let her go.

"The concubine retires!" Liu Mengyan stood up and saluted, then turned to leave.

After walking out, the Queen Mother put the teacup in her hand on the table, and said coldly: "What a sharp mouth!" The mourning family looked down on her! ”

"The Queen Mother, Li's death is unknown, it seems that it was her handiwork. His Royal Highness King Keyi is also maintaining it like this, and the Queen Mother just wants to ask, but I'm afraid it's difficult! An old woman on the side said.

"The mourners know! Hmph, I can't imagine that Xiao Liu's wings are stiff, and he doesn't take the mourning family in his eyes. Empress Dowager Chen's overly thick eye makeup flashed with a hint of yin owl in her eyes.

"Queen Mother, Qi Zhaoyi can exert pressure on her side. His Royal Highness King Yi will always be jealous of her. The old lady said.

Qi Zhaoyi has always been cautious, this time her son married such a bold one. I'm afraid she'll have a headache. Empress Dowager Chen snorted coldly and said, "Go to Changle Palace and summon her to the mourning family!" ”

At that time, Liu Mengyan took Bitong and Jinxiu to Qionghua Palace.

As soon as I stepped into Qionghua Palace, a fragrant aroma came to my nose.

It doesn't look like a queen's palace, it's not solemn enough, it's not elegant enough!

Because the four Tuoba in the palace are all peach trees and begonia trees, the peach blossoms have fallen, and the begonia flowers have almost fallen, only a few points are extremely delicate against the backdrop of green leaves.

Liu Mengyan walked through the corridor and saw a waterfront pavilion at the end, surrounded by a veil of four tuoba, and there were many people inside.

Liu Ruli walked all the way to the pavilion, and sure enough, the queen mother was inside.

"Princess Yi is here? Let her in! Queen Wang's voice seemed very calm, and she seemed to be very familiar with Liu Mengyan.

Liu Mengyan walked in and saw the queen mother laughing with a woman in a light blue skirt and a single ring bun. I saw that the woman was also born with a moth eyebrow, she was a beauty, but she was a very unfamiliar face.

As far as Liu Mengyan and the others knew, there was no information about this face in her brain.

"Hello to the queen concubine!" Liu Mengyan put away her surprise and hurriedly said to Queen Wang.

"Princess Yi, come and sit!" Queen Wang smiled and greeted Liu Mengyan very affectionately to sit over.

Liu Mengyan sat down as she said.

"The concubine has seen Princess Yi!" The woman in blue nodded to Liu Mengyan, but did not get up.

Liu Mengyan had no choice but to nod back.
