Chapter 015: Return to the Hou Mansion

"What is the Queen Mother doing?" Concubine Xian looked at her in surprise, and only after a while did she bless her body: "The concubine asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and suddenly met the queen's mother, my sister was a little rude, I'm really sorry." ”

Meng Qing looked at the people who were as gorgeous as ever, and said unhappily and angrily: "What about the phoenix seal of this palace?" The main palace will be taken back. ”

When Concubine Xian heard this, her face froze there, and she said in embarrassment: "It is said that Fengyin is in charge of the queen's mother, and the concubine has always been only in charge, and she should be returned, but now she is ......."

"Don't want to now?" Dream whispered softly.

"How come, how can my sister have a reason to control the phoenix seal and not return it, it's just that Concubine Hui's father is involved in a corruption case, and Concubine Hui and the Hou Mansion have in-laws who care, and your brother is also involved, if you return the phoenix seal to the queen mother at this time, wouldn't it be to trap the queen mother in your injustice, and my sister is also thinking about the queen mother."

"How can this palace not worry about your concubine." Isn't Meng Jinfan disabled and has lost his official position for a long time? How to get involved!

"That's not what I said, since my sister helps the queen mother to cooperate with the harem, and everything should be done from the beginning to the end, the whole thing is taken over by my sister alone, and I must learn from my sister, otherwise how can I be worthy of the queen's entrustment? Even when it comes to the emperor, there is nothing wrong with my sister, don't you say? ”

Concubine Xian Yu suddenly blocked her forehead, looked at the sky, and said in a delicate voice: "The sun is really big today, my sister will go back first." ”

The palace people behind her turned around with her, but suddenly turned around and added: "Queen Mother, be careful of your body, if there is a mistake in the dragon fetus, my sister can't afford it." ”

This is for all those present, and if something happens, so that they may be witnesses.

It seems that it was a fluke to beat her sixty boards in Luanfeng Palace that day, and the people who talk in this palace count, I'm afraid that there will be no two concubines.

Dream glanced at the closed palace gate, and then looked at Jade who was kneeling on the ground and crying, and his heart was even more anxious.

Sent Xiao Peizi back to the palace, took Yimo and went directly to the front hall to find the emperor, and now there is only this way.

But what disappointed her was that the emperor was not in the palace at all, saying that it was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor had to inspect it in person and would not be able to come back in ten days.

Mengqing paid attention to the importance of imperial power for the first time, and it is not that you want to stay out of this palace, especially in the back position that everyone is worried about, and thousands of eyes are staring at how to pull you down.

Yimo tugged at her sleeve: "Niangniang, you go and beg the Queen Mother and her old man, only her old man can help you at this time." ”

"You say...... Will my brother really be involved in corruption? ”

Back then, the Hou Mansion was stripped of his title, because Meng Jinfan was privately granted and accepted, and he was almost charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, if it wasn't for the Hou Ye to protect him with the title, he would have died a long time ago.

But when he was finally released from prison, he also broke a leg, causing a lifelong disability.

"No, it won't!" Yimo shook his head firmly, his big eyes flashing with tears of worry.

Dream glanced at it lightly, and this girl was even more anxious than her.

As a last resort, she had to go to Ci'an Palace again to ask the Queen Mother to come forward.

The long summer was hot, and the scorching sun was scorching on the top of the head.

Mengqing had been kneeling in the courtyard of Ci'an Palace for nearly half an hour, her knees had never suffered such a grievance, and the beads of sweat on her forehead were rolling down in strings.

Finally, the father-in-law came out of it, and his tone was still polite: "Queen Mother, get up, if this is a good thing to kneel, and don't make the Queen Mother embarrassed?" ”

Meng knelt lightly and was a little dizzy, and raised her eyes with difficulty and asked, "Father-in-law, can she agree to the Queen Mother?" ”

The father-in-law put his hands together and sighed heavily: "Queen Mother, you are really embarrassing the slave, the Queen Mother said that it was a matter of the previous dynasty, and she was not allowed to interfere in politics as a harem woman." ”

"Then please go back to my father-in-law, as for whether the prince in the palace and the belly has a life to live, it depends on the arrangement of the heavens."

"You ......"

Father-in-law twisted and waved his hand: "That's it, the Queen Mother said to her old man, if you insist on this, ask the slave to give this to you, and tell you to go home and meet your relatives, as for the affairs of the court, the Queen Mother really has no choice but to help the mother here." ”

Mengqing looked at the waist card out of the palace in his hand, and immediately knelt down and bowed deeply inside: "Thank you for the Empress Dowager's reward." ”

Excitedly wanted to get up, but she moved, and the painful knee suddenly pulled her back again.

"Mother, beware!" Yimo held it on her shoulder, biting her lip against the pain in her knee.

After seeing the queen mother leave, the whole father-in-law took out a glass of water from the house, extinguished the incense burner under the cypress tree, and then went in to restore his life.

The Queen Mother was standing in front of the window, and the two palace maids beside her were holding a fan for her to cool off.

Glancing at the incense ash in Quan Gonggong's hand, his brows frowned dissatisfiedly: "Is the portion enough?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the copper is used enough, maybe the Queen Mother's system is different, and the effect is slower?" Carefully deducted the incense ash back and quickly took it away, the queen mother was most afraid of this thing.

"Tell people to keep an eye on it, and remember to come back and report if there is any movement."

"The minions obey." The father-in-law of the whole country responded, and suddenly came to the front with a clever smile and reminded: "Queen Mother, the play in the West Courtyard has started." ”

A touch of coquettishness flashed on that serious and sharp face, and his fingers poked at the wrinkled forehead of the whole father-in-law in disgust: "You are clever." ”

Meng Qing sat in the imperial garden for a while before her knees eased, but her skin had been worn out, and she must get this account back from Concubine Xian with interest today!

Seeing Niangniang move, Yimo quickly stood up from the flower bed, and her shaking body could see the degree of forbearance.

Dream reached out lightly, and was so frightened that she almost fell back.

"You girl, what can you do?" She had helped herself back all the way, and the knee must have been much worse than hers.

"It is already a grace for the queen mother to reward the slave and maid to sit together, and the slave and maid are fine."

"It's okay and your legs are still shaking?" This master and servant asked her to write it down in her dream, and when she left in the future, she must be taken with her and found a good family to marry, otherwise she will die here and let those wicked people be demolished.

"You rest here now, and the palace will go back and change your clothes and leave the palace."

"How can there be a reason for a slave to rest and let the master do it himself."

Thinking about it lightly, there are rules in the palace, let her follow, Concubine Hui's affairs are in a hurry, so she can't delay it.

Even if she doesn't have a phoenix seal in her hand, her identity as the queen is there, although no one can be summoned in the palace, but the specifications of the Fengluan honor guard when she leaves the palace remain unchanged.

More than 100 guards defended, on the golden-topped carriage, the octagonal jade and phoenix flew together, and the eunuchs and palace maids didn't know where they came from.

"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose ......"

The people on both sides chanted along with the beating gongs, as if they had practiced thousands of times.

I was afraid that I would not be able to support the scene because of my strength, so when I left the palace, I took the queen mother's edict and ordered me to accompany the honor guard, thinking that I had to send three or five guards to protect and protect him, and the guards immediately said that the honor guard would arrive later, but I didn't expect such a big battle.

The advantage of all the people kneeling down is that she can clearly enjoy the scenery on the street all the way, inns, shops, academies......

Suddenly, three big green characters attracted her attention: Yaruixuan!

Inside the open doorway, you can see that the shelves are all porcelain antiques, and the shops that can be opened on the main street of the imperial city are by no means idle.

Thinking of this, her hand holding the curtain fell inadvertently, and a touch of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"Niangniang, the Hou Mansion has arrived." Yimo reminded outside the car window.

The carriage slowly stopped, and a group of voices sounded: "Welcome to the queen mother, the queen mother is a thousand years old!" ”

Mengqing came out of the carriage, his eyes fell on the plaque under the high eaves, and the four big characters of "Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion" had faded and stale, but they were still hanging there.

This is her maiden home now, right?

Moving his gaze downward, the man kneeling in front was nearly fifty years old, tall, and a brown brocade robe was very well propped up by him, and he looked powerful.

"Father, please." Mengqing stepped out of the carriage with the help of Yimo.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Meng Zhao's movements when he got up were calm, quite a veteran.

Dream light eyes fell on his slightly excited face, the left cheekbone with the scar left by the killing field, and the tough facial features still retained the demeanor of youth, but they were not half like themselves.

Maybe Meng Jinyu looks like her biological mother.

Seeing that she was silent, Meng Zhao looked back a little anxiously.

Meng Qing only then noticed the kneeling people in the back, in addition to Lin Meiniang's mother and daughter she had seen at the front, there were three aunts and six daughters, and more than ten people.

"Get up, don't be polite."

Lin Meiniang got the words, quickly pulled her daughter up, and stepped forward with the demeanor of her Hou Mansion's wife: "The concubine has been looking forward to the day when she finally sees the queen mother go home after all these years, it is really a great joy for the Hou Mansion." ”

Meng Zhao hurriedly beckoned his daughter in, the last time he asked to see him in the palace was half a year ago, and he was only thin enough to breathe a handful of firewood, but now it was like being reborn, such a big change made him unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

When they arrived at the inner hall, Yi Mo and Xiao Peizi directly blocked people out of the door, leaving only Hou Ye to go in alone.

Lin Meiniang was obviously unconvinced: "I am Mrs. Houfu, how can I not be asked to go in to entertain the queen?" ”

Standing in the middle of the door with his hand, his voice was cold and a little majestic: "The queen mother and the Hou Ye have something to discuss, and the idle people can enter the room!" ”

"I'm the lady of the dignified marquis, how did I become an idler?" Lin Mei's motherly smoking, "It's just an inferior girl who has been in the palace for a few days, and she actually became the master?" ”

No matter how much she jumped, Yimo refused to let her go.

In the hall, Meng Zhao didn't wait for the queen to sit down, so he grabbed his daughter's hand and said hurriedly: "Jinyu, what your brother is doing now is not trivial, a bad one will even affect the lives of our whole house, and my father can only count on you now." ”

"What does a father want his daughter to do?" Dream asked softly, her eyes scrutinizing his face.

Meng Zhao's eyes dodged, and his whole face was already crimson in embarrassment, but he didn't delay his words: "Daddy misses you...... You...... Ask the emperor to demote himself and save the lives of our whole family. ”

"Like you did when you cut your own knighthood? Then watched her daughter depressed in front of the emperor and died tragically in the palace? Dream light pink lips lightly hooked, clear eyes full of cold.

Meng Zhao couldn't help but shudder, a few days ago, he heard Mei Niang say that the queen mother had changed, and he was quite suspicious, but he actually believed it a little at this time.

But no matter what she looks like, she is also his Meng Zhao's daughter, and she can still fly into the sky!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but harden a little, he was a general who was in the killing field, and he could still make his daughter weaker.

"How did Daddy educate you since you were a child, personal gains and losses are small, and family honor and disgrace are big! Now it's just for you to take the initiative to ask the emperor for guilt, and it may not be possible for the emperor to blame you. ”

"Then what if the emperor blames his daughter?"

"If that's the case...... That'...... If your queen's position can be lowered, it will naturally be promoted. ”

Meng Zhao stroked his three-inch-long beard, and his tone couldn't help but soften: "I heard that the queen's mother is already happy, you help your father through this difficulty, and when the prince is born, the emperor will naturally reward him for his meritorious deeds, and he is afraid that the queen's throne will not fly?" ”

"Daddy is really calculating, so he is not afraid that his daughter will step on the stage in front of him, and Concubine Xian will sit on it immediately?"

A trace of sourness crossed her heart, I don't know if it belongs to Meng Jinyu or hers, this is the first time she has "gone home", and it is such treatment.
