In front of Emperor Xuan and Empress Dowager Chen, he had already shown himself in the best posture, and he returned to his most comfortable appearance in private.

Tuoba Zeyan drank a few sips of tea under the service of Sanfu, rested for a while, and then walked through the gatehouse and came to Liu Mengyan's house.

Seeing her new appearance, I couldn't bear to look away.

"Yan'er is like a concubine of Xiang, her beauty is unparalleled!" He exclaimed.

Liu Mengyan walked over, spun around in front of him and said, "Your Highness Xie." This dress looks good! ”

"It's Yan'er who looks good and can wear it no matter what color." Tuoba Zeyan said with a smile.

He remembered that Liu Mengyan liked to wear plain clothes, but such bright colors also suited her.

The two rested together for a while, until Qi Zhaoyi sent palace people to call them for dinner.

Qi Ruyan was already sitting next to Qi Zhaoyi and was telling her interesting stories about her hometown.

I saw that Qi Ruyan also changed into clothes, which were also green, which was darker than the one on Liu Mengyan. Indeed, the jewelry worn is a gilded tortoiseshell beaded flower, etc.

Compared with the one worn on Liu Ruli's head, the grade is one and a half stars. And the collocation is not as good as Liu Mengyan, in contrast, the difference comes out.

Qi Zhaoyi also saw Liu Mengyan's dress, and was secretly surprised by her son's intentions for the county lord.

Those things are all good things that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has given him, and they are all treasures.

She couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her uncle and niece, and took Qi Ruyan's hand and said, "Yan'er, my aunt just remembered that there is a set of jade heads and faces that are just right for you." It didn't fit to wear it in this palace. ”

"Thank you, aunt!" Qi Ruyan hurriedly got up and saluted.

Tuoba Zeyan led Liu Mengyan to Qi Zhaoyi's side to salute, and Qi Zhaoyi only responded lightly.

After the palace maids arranged the meals, Qi Zhaoyi said: "I'm tired, let's use it quickly." ”

In order to please Qi Zhaoyi, Qi Ruyan took care of everything in front of her and flattered her to the fullest.

Originally, Liu Mengyan should have served in the past at such a time.

But Qi Ruyan has already occupied the position, and Liu Mengyan can't get over if she wants to go over.

"Cousin Qi, sit down and eat. You were originally a guest, where can you let the guests serve the concubine's meal! Liu Mengyan took the initiative.

Tuoba Zeyan hurriedly said, "Yan'er is right. My cousin is a guest, and it should be the daughter-in-law's duty to serve my mother-in-law's meal, so let Yan'er serve my mother! ”

In fact, he was reluctant to let Liu Mengyan do the work of serving people, but the rules are like this, especially here with Qi Zhaoyi. Tuoba Zeyan knew that the mother concubine was actually a very disciplined person.

"Yan'er, this palace knows your filial piety. But your cousin and sister-in-law are right. Sit down! Qi Zhaoyi said with satisfaction, "The palace eats very little, these are enough." Princess Yi, you might as well go and bring a cup of tea to the palace. Bengong feels that this dish is a little greasy, so I have to drink some white tea to solve it. ”

"Yes." Liu Mengyan got up and said, and then went out to make white tea for Qi Zhaoyi.

Seeing this, Qi Ruyan had no choice but to sit back.

"Princess Yi's polo is really good, but it is beyond the expectations of this palace." Qi Zhaoyi suddenly said, "It's just too good!" ”

"There is no need to worry about the concubine. The eldest princess and the third princess rejected Yan'er from the beginning, if they didn't show themselves very well, they would have defeated their arrogance. It will be difficult for Yan'er to gain a foothold in the palace in the future. Tuoba Ze said.

Seeing that her son was defending Liu Mengyan as soon as she spoke, Qi Zhaoyi was really a little unhappy in her heart, but such an emotion naturally couldn't let Tuoba Zeyan know, so she said: "Today, Princess Yi is in the limelight in front of your father and the queen mother. The so-called tree is a big trick, and the mother is afraid that she will be too eye-catching and cause trouble for you! ”

Tuoba Zeyan knows his mother's personality: timid and afraid, but extremely disciplined and cautious.

Such a personality is also suitable for surviving in the harem, so their mother and son have lived peacefully over the years. It's all about Qi Zhaoyi's one-word "forbearance", not fighting, not grabbing, not eye-catching!

Today, Liu Mengyan showed her face in front of the royal family for the first time, and she stole the limelight, which naturally made Qi Zhaoyi worried.

"Mother, you don't have to worry. The son knows. The son was plotted twice, which shows that someone has deceived people too much. If you blindly tolerate it, you are afraid that others will be even more bullied. Tuoba Zeyan said patiently.

At this time, Liu Mengyan came in with a teacup, walked up to Qi Zhaoyi, and said, "Mother, the white tea is ready." Please use! ”

Qi Zhaoyi also cared about Liu Mengyan's grandfather's family in her heart, and saw that her words had already hit the point, so she said, "Okay." Go and sit down. ”

After that, she took the teacup in Liu Mengyan's hand, brushed the surprise floating on it with the tea lid, took a sip, was very satisfied, and drank a few more sips in a row.

This tea-making effort is really good!

Qi Zhaoyi couldn't help but say this in her heart, much better than her palace maid.

"Princess Yi, this palace has already told Lin'er just now. This palace is not comparable to the outside, the position of each palace in the eyes of the emperor, how you get along with Lin'er's brothers, brothers and sisters, you have to be careful. Do not offend anyone. Qi Zhaoyi finally said with a pleasant face.

The mother reprimanded. Mengyan is eye-catching among the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law today. Please rest assured that Yan'er will know the proportions. Liu Mengyan said.

The tone is sincere and the attitude is respectful!

Qi Zhaoyi was a little more satisfied.

It didn't take long for Empress Dowager Chen to come to the palace and invite Liu Mengyan over.

Qi Zhaoyi was so nervous that she pulled Liu Mengyan and gave another admonition.

"Yes, the concubine has written it down." Liu Mengyan said with a smile.

Seeing that she was submissive, Qi Zhaoyi also smiled, and sent the powerful palace maid beside her to take Liu Mengyan to Yanshou Palace.

After a while, they came to the door of Yanshou Palace, and saw the big palace maid in front of the Queen Mother come out: "Say hello to the six princesses, the Queen Mother is waiting, please." ”

Liu Ruli responded and entered the inner hall.

Those who brought it were not eligible to go in, so they stayed outside.

In the main hall, Empress Dowager Chen changed her clothes, wearing a dark brown gown and a dark green skirt.

Combed with a double knife and half-flipped bun. It is adorned with gold and jade beads.

Queen Wang sat alongside, and there were a few girls sitting next to her, not playing polo with Liu Ruli.

They all looked at Liu Mengyan's outfit.

Liu Mengyan stepped forward: "The concubines ask the queen mother and the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

"Oh, get up, sit." Queen Wang said.

"The sixth concubine, she looks good. Reward. Empress Dowager Chen said, her voice seemed very weak, as if she was cheering up to talk to her.

"Concubine, thank you for the reward of the Queen Mother." Liu Mengyan hurriedly got up and said.

"Well, sit down, when you enter the royal family, you must abide by the royal rules and serve your highness well. For the sixth child, spread the branches and leaves, and extend the heirs. Empress Dowager Chen leaned on the lumbar pillow and said.

"The concubines remember the teachings of the Queen Mother!" Liu Mengyan had no choice but to say again.

"Queen, the mourning family's words are over. Your turn! Empress Dowager Chen said boringly.

That's what she says to her juniors every day, and she has long been tired of it.

"Princess Yi. The Queen Mother rewarded you. This palace will reward you too. Queen Wang said with a smile.

"Concubine, thank you Queen Mother!" Liu Mengyan saluted Queen Wang again.

"Yang, Guo, and Li, don't go and see your concubine yet! In the future, you will go to the old six mansions and serve His Royal Highness King Yi and Princess Yi well! Of course, we must also spread the branches and leaves for the sixth child and extend the heirs! Queen Wang said.

"Concubine to meet Princess Yi!" The three women stood up and saluted Liu Mengyan in unison.

"The sixth family, this is the Queen Mother's love for you. The sixth child doesn't have a side concubine, not even a concubine. The three of them were carefully selected for him by the Queen Mother. The family background is innocent, the character is noble, and the appearance is upright. Don't thank you yet! Seeing that Liu Mengyan was standing there and didn't speak, Queen Wang said with a cold face.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, this matter has to be reported to His Royal Highness. The concubine can't be this master! Liu Mengyan reacted.

"Where would the sixth child not agree? Although the three of them are not as good as Princess Yi's appearance, they are all carefully selected. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything. Princess Yi, you are still in charge of the mansion alone, how can you serve it alone. Why don't you let the three of them help you? "Queen's Road.

"The old six family, as the main room, the first thing is to be generous. The sixth child doesn't even have a room girl by his side now, which is a dereliction of duty on your concubine's part. The mourning family pointed out a few concubines for him, even if he went to the emperor, it was reasonable. Still not receiving the grateful? Empress Dowager Chen said with a little impatience.

This is Empress Dowager Chen! It's obviously a disgusting thing, but it's still beautiful!

Call yourself here today, the ultimate goal is these women!

Liu Mengyan knew that if she disobeyed the Empress Dowager Chen again, she was afraid that even if she could walk out intact today, her reputation for being jealous and disrespecting her superiors would be confirmed in the future.

Moreover, Empress Dowager Chen's reward to Concubine Tuoba Zeyan is really their usual trick, and they can't refuse.

"Concubine Xie Empress Dowager, Queen Mother reward!" Liu Mengyan's voice is still crisp and crisp, there is no timidity at all, no embarrassment and embarrassment.

"Okay, the mourning family is not feeling well, so I won't accompany you." Empress Dowager Chen seemed to be very uninterested, this is to drive people away.

"A few of you, go over and follow your concubine back to Changle Palace. You can go to King Yi's Mansion tonight to serve! The queen said to the three women beside her.

Out of Yanshou Palace, Liu Mengyan was followed by three women, who looked like they had their own merits: the Yang family was extremely charming and belonged to the bewitching type; Guo is very bird-like, and belongs to the delicate and shy type; Li's looks a little bland, but he doesn't look bad.

The palace people waiting outside the palace, Qi Zhaoyi's personal palace maid was really surprised to see Princess Yi followed by three young and beautiful women.

When she returned to Changle Palace, Qi Zhaoyi was even more surprised when she saw the three people, and her mouth was almost closed, and Qi Ruyan on the side was even more eyeing these three people.

Tuoba Zeyan should have gone to Chengtian Palace, and he didn't know that he had been given three concubines.
