Chapter 230
"You don't have to worry about this, you are just a Pingmen citizen, if you want to kill you, Concubine Chen only needs to move her fingers. What the mourning family wants to tell you is that the emperor has many concubines, this is a fact. You can not compete for favor, but you must not be defenseless, you can not harm others, but at least do you have self-protection? Actually, looking outside, there are more people like Concubine Chen. The mourning family only tells you one thing, if you can't become a human being, you can only be at the mercy of others! You can be at the mercy of others, but not the grandchildren of the mourning family! β
When she came out of the meditation hall of the Empress Dowager Ming, Mei Shuang's face was pale, as if she had been beaten a few times, she staggered along, her head was full of the Empress Dowager's words, and the whole person looked like she had lost her soul. She didn't even see Xiao Luo, who was standing in the dark not far away, let alone notice the meaningful gaze.
Mei Shuangshen returned to the lodging with one foot at a time, and the first thing she did was to come to the room where the two children were sleeping.
Under the flickering candle flame, the two pink children slept soundly, about the hot weather, the eldest was a little unstable, turned over and pressed the small blanket on his body under him, revealing his delicate back.
Mei Shuang just stretched out her hand, but she invariably touched the hand stretched out next to her, she was surprised and came back to her senses, her hand froze in place, but she didn't dare to raise her head.
After a stalemate like this for a while, Xiao Luo carefully pulled up the blanket and wrapped the child first.
Mei Shuang withdrew her hand, and the compelling gaze above her head shone like an X-ray. Her heart was beating like a drum in an instant, and she didn't know where to put her hand back, and her whole person was flustered.
He came anyway, so quietly.
Xiao Luo looked at Mei Shuang, so close, her face was against the candle flame, her long eyelashes were lowered, although she couldn't see the look in her eyes clearly, but her slightly stiff body betrayed her.
"Get out for a walk." Xiao Luo said.
Meishuang slowly got up from the cradle and followed Xiao Luo to the courtyard.
The moon shines like water, and the mountain peaks at night are cool and pleasant, sending a refreshing fragrance of flowers, and smelling it is refreshing.
Mei Shuang followed behind Xiao Luo, her eyebrows lowered, and she didn't dare to breathe.
After being silent for a long time, he only heard Xiao Luo speak, "The day after tomorrow is the 100th day of these children, and if they miss the full moon banquet, I can't let them miss the 100-day banquet again." β
Meishuang didn't squeak, remembering that she led the child to escape before the child's full moon, and she didn't know what the full moon banquet in the palace that had been prepared a long time ago would be chaotic because of the child's disappearance, how embarrassing this emperor should be!
In addition, the middle palace is vacant, and the queen mother has repeatedly stated that the middle palace cannot be left without an owner. Then I will drink with my courtiers, and the new queen will be by my sideβif you wish, you can come too."
- Meishuang was lying on the bed, looking outside, tossing and turning, Xiao Luo's words echoing in her ears repeatedly.
"The newly established queen is accompanied by the side", so he already has a queen?
Since Xiao Luo left, Mei Shuang only felt like she had been hit hard in the chest by a giant object, and this sentence had repeatedly echoed in her ears this night.
A line suddenly appeared in his mind like a comedy, "If you don't go to hell, I will go to hell", at this moment, that is, "You are not the queen and someone else should be the queen", how obvious Xiao Luo's words are - you are not a rare queen's position, how many women are hot, that position cannot be reserved for you for the elderly.
Meishuang only felt cold all over, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Empress Dowager Ming's words are like an empowerment, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the way she thinks of escaping the world is just to escape, and she can't avoid it at all. "Whether it's back to the palace or outside the palace, the world won't run the way you think, and there will be more unexpected things. But as the saying goes, 'the lesser of two evils', since both choices are unsatisfactory, then you can do it at your own discretion. β
The Queen Mother asked her to do it at her discretion, she just figured it out, but she didn't expect that when she turned around, there was no place for her to stand.
In just a few months, the heavens and the earth have already changed.
Hehe, he accompanied the new queen and invited her to go, what is it if she goes.
Mei Shuang tossed and turned all night, her thoughts were highly tormented, and inevitably, when she woke up the next day, she had two dark circles under her eyes.
When feeding the children, they were also frequently distracted, and when Vanilla came in, he saw that the two children were not lying side by side in the cradle as usual, but the eldest head was next to the second child's feet, and at this moment the little hand was grabbing the second child's feet and wanted to put it in his mouth, Meishuang didn't know it.
She sighed, "Oh, Miss, you see the children are all reversed." β
Meishuang came back to her senses and hurriedly dropped the child, but the sense of accomplishment of the second child's foot caught by the boss was gone, and she cried "wow", and the second child was also uncomfortable by the boss who was crying and dancing, and cried.
Good guy, as soon as the duet started, Meishuang coaxed and coaxed, and couldn't help but feel sad and cried.
This scene, Vanilla was dumbfounded.
Through the long window, Yunkong complained to Xiao Luo, who was frowning slightly, "Are you satisfied now?" β
Xiao Luo's thin lips pursed slightly, but he didn't make a sound.
Meishuang hadn't slept all night, and he hadn't slept well at all. There is a saying called "put to death and then live", he wants to see how long this woman's stubbornness can last if there is no way out, let's put it this way, the queen mother gave her a thought class, she has changed most of it, his words are practical lessons, and if she doesn't completely break her self-righteous strength, maybe something will happen in the future.
The day passed in such a dejected way, being tossed by the two children for a long time, plus a night of sleeplessness, Meishuang was extremely sleepy.
In the second half of the night, I was woken up by vanilla.
"The kid is making trouble again?" She asked vaguely, half-open.
"No, it's time for Miss to get up and get dressed," Vanilla said.
"What are you doing?" Meishuang didn't hear it at all, she just rolled over and prepared to sleep.
"Isn't this a 100-day feast for children? Miss, don't you follow the mother into the palace? Hurry up."
Meishuang was excited and sober, but as soon as she remembered Xiao Luo's words, she was completely discouraged, could it be that she let herself go as a nurse?
Whatever, whatever! As long as she is not separated from the child, the nurse will be the nurse.
Meishuang sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the woman in a trance inside, and the mirror reflected that many people had come in behind.
She looked back in amazement, only to see the palace maids rushing in, each holding a brocade box, came to Meishuang and knelt down, and looked at it, there were neatly folded clothes, jewelry, and even shoes were ready.
"Does it still need to be so cumbersome to enter a palace?" She frowned, she was dressed too dignified, how could she still hold the child.
"It's a big day, so Miss naturally wants to dress up better." Vanilla said while helping the plum cream to mix the powder.
Looking at the woman with towering clouds and picturesque eyebrows in the mirror, Meishuang suddenly felt a little strange, she was used to seeing her long hair and no makeup, she was really not used to this.
"Forget it, I'm in the palace today, the protagonists are my two children, and I can't hold my children when I'm dressed like this"
took off all the hairpin rings on his head, only said that the long hair was loose and loose at the back of his head, and vanilla said, "Actually, no matter how plain it is, the young lady is very good-looking"
Sitting in the carriage, Mei Shuang looked at the two newly-dressed children, and at the same time imagined the appearance of the queen who was about to be seen, the whole person was uneasy, and almost broke her foot when she got out of the carriage.
The sky is already bright, and according to the etiquette system, take the child to meet the Queen Mother first.
Seeing the two pink and cute children, the Empress Dowager Ming's face was rare and loving, holding the child and loving it, "Like, the boss is really like Luo'er, this second child is more like Meishuang"
After teasing the grandchildren for a long time, the Empress Dowager Ming asked the child to be taken away, and said to Mei Shuang with a smile on her face, "Looking at your appearance, you are a little haggard, and you haven't rested, right?" β
"Hmm," Meishuang replied with a bowed head.
"Well, since you are willing to enter the palace, it means that you have figured it out, and the mourning family is thinking, what position should I give you."
"Queen Mother, Shuang'er doesn't want any name, as long as she can accompany Dabao Erbao at all times"
"Dabao Erbao?" The Empress Dowager Ming almost squirted tea, and said unhappily with plum frost, "What is this name?" Why is the emperor grandson of the mourning family called such a name? It does not correspond to the dignity of the status. The mourning family should look at this name or go to the Ministry of Rites to pick it up-"
The Empress Dowager Ming changed the topic, and there was a faint ridicule in her tone, "Heh, you are happy, you refused to enter the palace before, and you didn't even want the title of queen, but now the requirements are so low that you don't even want a name, it's really a world of difference."
Empress Dowager Ming's words were prickly, and in one sentence, Mei Shuang only felt like she had been slapped on her face, and the pain was hot.
The meaning of the Empress Dowager Ming is obvious, you were not interested in lifting you up before, and now the embarrassment can only be self-inflicted.
Empress Dowager Ming was about to say something, and raised her eyes to see Xiao Luo coming in.
Empress Dowager Ming snorted, "What?" Can't listen to the mourning family's lesson, your daughter-in-law came in in a hurry? The mourners haven't passed you in yet. β
Daughter-in-law? Meishuang's heart trembled, what is this called?
After Xiao Luo came over to salute, she saw the kneeling Meishuang with a red face, and knew that the Queen Mother's number was uncomfortable, her heart softened, and her eyes flashed.
The Empress Dowager Ming saw his expression in her eyes, and simply pushed the boat down the river and said, "Your Majesty, today is the 100-day day of the two children, and their mothers say that they don't care about their reputations, what do you think?" β
Empress Dowager Ming's eyes swept over Mei Shuang, and said lightly, "It stands to reason that the mother of the emperor's eldest son should be the queen, and she is unwilling, so she is either a concubine or an inconsequential palace person."
Xiao Luo glanced at Mei Shuang and said lightly, "She has always only believed in herself, but this time she still let her choose me according to the queen mother's wishes, and she has made a good lot-"
Then the palace people came in with the tray, and when they saw the three neatly folded notes on it, Meishuang's eyes widened, "Catch lots?" β
I'll go! What a formal occasion this is, and how to use such an informal way to decide your own status?!
She looked up at the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of her, the latter had a stern expression, how could he look like he was joking?
