Chapter 404: The Queen Mother summons

"Lord Meng, Lord Meng......"

"Who called the official?" Meng Yan turned around in surprise, and a pretty little palace maid came behind him.

"Lord Meng, the Queen Mother, please go over and talk about it."

"Queen Mother, I'm afraid it won't work at this time, the harem has the rules of the harem, and the foreign ministers can't make a will, and they can't trespass." Meng Yan subconsciously refused.

The relationship between him and the Empress Dowager Sun is too complicated, and now the case he is investigating is related to the Empress Dowager Sun, if the Empress Sun makes any excessive requests, then how should he deal with it?

It's not impossible to see the Empress Dowager Sun, but that must be in the presence of the emperor, so there is a shield.

"Lord Meng, look at this." The little palace maid handed Meng Yan a wooden card.

Meng Yan stretched out his hand to take it, and as soon as he looked at the words on the token, he knew that this was a pass token for entering and leaving Cining Palace.

"The Queen Mother gave you Lord Meng, you should go with the slave maid." The little palace maid has a deep blessing.

Meng Yan looked at the token in his hand, a little embarrassed.

If he insisted on not going, the queen would not be able to pursue anything, and the ministers would not be able to enter and leave the harem at will.

This is a rule set by the ancestors, and the queen can't find a reason to embarrass herself.

But if he doesn't see it, it will inevitably make Empress Dowager Sun suspicious, if he doesn't know his so-called life experience, it's just that.

Now that he knows, this can't help but give him another layer of thought.

If this is a temptation for the queen to herself, then going or not going will have different results.

Go, answer the call. But what he will say, he has no bottom in his heart.

If you don't go, you will inevitably be suspicious, and when Empress Dowager Sun summons herself at this time, she will inevitably take the opportunity to understand the case by herself.

And what she is most concerned about should be Bai Jiao's problem.

The case is not over, Bai Jiao's body is also suspicious, and he is not easy to admit anything, what to say, it depends on the situation.

It is impossible to release people, this is his bottom limit.

You have to do your best to make a decision. Can't drag.

"Weichen just obeys the Empress Dowager's order." Meng Yan decided to agree. It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

I don't know what this queen wants to do, and her attitude towards herself.

Following the same trend, Meng Yan followed the slender palace maid. Gradually, he remembered. Isn't this palace maid the one next to the Empress Dowager Sun? When the emperor asked, no one dared to answer, so she opened her mouth and said that the queen mother had not eaten seriously for three days.

Arguably. For the judgment of the cause of the queen mother's fainting, the credit of this little palace maid accounts for a small half.

"The official hasn't asked the girl's name yet?"

"The slave's surname is Wan!"

"Ten thousand?"

"Yes, Lord Meng can just call the slave maid as Zhen'er." Wan Zhen'er smiled sweetly, because of her bold reply, she was praised by the emperor and the queen mother, and her status in Cining Palace in the future is incomparable.

Of course, her credit is also related to Meng Yan, if it weren't for Meng Yan's questioning, it was diagnosed that the Queen Mother fainted due to hunger, and she would not have been praised by the emperor and looked at differently by the Queen Mother because of a sentence.

This was her first opportunity to enter the palace, and she seized it and let the emperor remember her, a palace maid named Wan Zhen'er.

In the harem, the young and beautiful palace maids all want to be able to fly on the branches and become phoenixes one day, but as the palace maid of Cining Palace, Wan Zhen'er is easier to contact the emperor than other girls, but the emperor may not be interested in her, and there is a queen mother in between.

The Queen Mother doesn't nod, even if Wan Zhen'er is willing, she can't sleep on the emperor's dragon bed, but the most important thing is that the emperor still takes a fancy to you.

The emperor doesn't look down on you, and no matter how you are, it's useless.

And it happened to be Meng Yan who gave Wan Zhen'er this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and let Wan Zhen'er enter the emperor's sight.

Meng Yan didn't expect that the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in front of her was actually the concubine Wan Guifei, the emperor of Xianzong.

The woman who collected the emperor's thousands of favors appeared alive in front of his eyes now.

This Wan Guifei, originally a member of the Sun Hou Palace, was transferred to serve the prince after Emperor Xianzong was born, and in this way, Wan Zhen'er completed the most awesome cultivation plan in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and raised a baby from the swaddling baby to her husband and a model wife.

Xianzong has a special infatuation with this woman who is seventeen years older, and it is recorded in the wild history that this Wan Zhen'er is extremely proficient in the secret art of the room, and Xianzong can only obtain the double sublimation of spirit and body when he is with her.

It is not uncommon for the harem to be exposed to it, not to mention that the palace is originally a place to hide filth and dirt, Wan Zhen'er has entered the palace since she was a child, and it is not uncommon to learn some skills.

With their own thoughts, the two entered Cining Palace one after the other, and came to the gate of Empress Dowager Sun's bedroom.

"Master Meng, wait a minute, the slave and maid will go in and report."

It didn't take long for Wan Zhen'er to come out of it: "Lord Meng, the Queen Mother let you in." ”

"Thank you, Miss Zhen'er!" Meng Yan solemnly hugged his fist.

"Weichen Meng Yan knocked to see the Queen Mother!"

"Lord Meng, please get up." Empress Dowager Sun lay on her side on the soft couch and commanded through the beaded curtain, "Come on, show Master Meng a seat." ”

"Queen Mother, it's so late, you still summoned the ministers, what's the matter?" Meng Yan sat down and asked.

"Meng Aiqing saved the life of the mourning family today, and the mourning family hasn't said thank you yet!"

"It's just a gesture, why should the Queen Mother take it to heart?"

"You can't say that, Meng Aiqing's superb medical skills are now convinced." Empress Dowager Sun said.

"The Queen Mother praised it falsely, I don't know what is important for the Queen Mother to call Weichen?" Meng Yan asked.

"The mourning family knows that you are a talent, not only with superb medical skills, but also with a set of investigation and handling cases, the emperor originally wanted to give you a promotion, but he felt that Aiqing was too young, and he was promoted too quickly, and some people with pink eye in the court would be dissatisfied."

"Queen Mother, Weichen is actually not interested in being an official."

"Aiqing doesn't want to be an official?"

"That's not it, Weichen has joined Jinyiwei since he was a child, and he can only die in Jinyiwei in this life, in fact, what Chen means. Being a free and easy petty official is far better than those big officials who work all day long. Meng Yan explained.

"Isn't this official getting bigger and bigger?"

"The bigger the official, the greater the responsibility, and the natural pressure is also great, Wechen has experienced hardships in Mobei, where the struggle in officialdom is bloodier and more direct, and the whole family is killed, and Wechen wants to be a carefree official."

"A carefree official, but the court, the emperor and the mourning family need talents like Aiqing." Empress Dowager Sun said in a tone of pity.

"In addition to having some insight in medicine. Otherwise not outstanding. What's more, the Ming Dynasty is full of talents, and there are not many ministers, and there are many ministers. ”

"With your merits, even if the emperor makes you a big official, it is deserved." Empress Dowager Sun said.

"Queen Mother. If nothing else. The minister retired. "Meng Yan took retreat as the way forward. This Empress Dowager Sun summoned herself, obviously to find an excuse to test herself, and said that she would be promoted to a knighthood. If only it were true.

However, this Empress Dowager Sun's scheming should not be underestimated, and she still has to be careful when she speaks, don't give her a handle.

"Meng Aiqing, what are you anxious about, can't you say a few words with the mourning family?"

"Queen Mother, the minister is a foreign minister, this hour should not appear in the harem, this is against the palace rules, if someone passes it out, the minister is meaningless, you can ...... the Queen Mother" Meng Yan said.

In ancient times, women married early, especially the emperor's concubines who entered the palace were basically fifteen or sixteen years old, and those who gave birth to children at the age of seventeen or eighteen abounded.

Empress Dowager Sun is definitely not forty years old now, which in later generations, there are many people who have not married at this age, but in this era, there are too many grandmothers at the age of thirty-five or sixteen.

"Meng Aiqing's age, is it enough for the mourning family to be your mother?" Empress Dowager Sun said.

"The Queen Mother is the mother of the country, that is the mother of all the people in the world!" Meng Yan's heart jumped, isn't this Empress Dowager Sun the idea?

"What a tricky little slippery head!" Empress Dowager Sun was also stunned, and this guy blocked everything she was going to say in one sentence.

"The emperor was a matchmaker for Meng Aiqing and promised a family affair, right?"

"The emperor is very loving, and Weichen can't repay it, it's Miss Guo's family." Meng Yan bowed slightly.

"The mourning family heard that Miss Guo has a blood-colored crescent birthmark on her left cheek, covering half of her face?"

"Yes, Queen Mother!"

"The emperor is really, how can Meng Aiqing find such a salt-free woman, Aiqing is a talent, and she should ask for a beautiful lady." Empress Dowager Sun sighed.

This Empress Dowager Sun, no, in Meng Yan's heart, has already been promoted, what does the old witch want to do?

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that marrying a wife and seeking talent, although the Miss Guo family is ugly, she is kind-hearted and a good girl!" Meng Yan must not let this old witch interfere in his marriage.

"Yes, the mourning family has heard that this Miss Guo Yue of the Guo family also has a big nickname in the capital, what is it called......"

"Empress Dowager Qi, called Blood Moon Rakshasa!" Jiang Xiong, who was standing on the side, answered in a timely manner,

"Yes, Rakshasa, what a fierce woman, the mourning family feels scared when she hears it." Empress Dowager Sun said with a heartfelt touch.

"Queen Mother, there are rumors in the market, I can't believe it, Xiaochen has seen Miss Guo several times, Xiaochen feels that a filial woman can't be fierce even if she is fierce." Meng Yan Road.

His answer revealed two pieces of information, that is, I Meng Yan and Miss Guo Jia have met, we have an understanding of each other, the second point, Guo Yue is very filial, which in ancient China, what is important is filial piety, the so-called filial piety is the first, whether a person is kind or not, first depends on whether he is filial piety or not.

Even in the royal family, this filial piety is also the first.

Empress Dowager Sun just drank honey water, but now her mouth is bitter, and this one has been blocked by him, and she can't open her mouth at all!

"It seems that Lord Meng and Miss Guo are in love?"

"Yes."

"In this case, when you get married, the mourning family will definitely give a big gift." Empress Dowager Sun said.

"Then the minister will thank the Queen Mother."

"Meng Aiqing, Jiao Lanrong used to be a person close to the mourning family, but I didn't expect that Kai En would let him out of the palace to marry, she actually did such a bad thing, the mourning family is really heartbroken!" Empress Dowager Sun said.

Meng Yan heard it, this is the real purpose of Empress Dowager Sun's summoning of herself, the bend in front of her is almost detoured, and it is time to get to the point. (To be continued......)
