387: The Queen's kindness

The Liu family didn't want to bring their two daughters into the palace, but the queen's decree was not easy to disobey.

"The queen should be well-intentioned."

Cheng Qing comforted the Liu family, "It's okay, right now the queen has the final say in the palace, and the other concubines don't dare to be demons, you and your two sisters, as well as Mrs. Meng, will not be in any danger when you enter the palace together." ”

Concubine Ning was pushed to the end, and the four princes were imprisoned again, and anyone with a discerning eye can guess that the 'tired case' is not just the framing of the palace maid Jin Rui.

The emperor's willingness to return the queen's innocence shows that in the emperor's heart, the queen's weight is heavier than Concubine Ning and the four princes combined.

Among the concubines in the palace, which one is as favored as Concubine Ning?

Dare to jump out and provoke the queen at this time, aren't you afraid to go to Jingyang Palace and Ning Xuan as a companion!

Cheng Qing let the Liu family relax, and the two sisters, Cheng Ci and Cheng Min, practiced etiquette for two days and followed the Liu family into the palace.

Also sent to the palace this time was Mrs. Meng.

Although Cheng Qing and Meng Huaijin are close, Liu is not very familiar with Mrs. Meng, and basically does not move around, which is far less intimate than Mrs. Mei.

Liu's temperament is shy, but he is unwilling to drag Cheng Qing back, and now he is working hard to learn all kinds of human contacts, which can be regarded as a small achievement.

Mrs. Meng is different from the Liu family, when she was in Nanyi County, Mrs. Meng had to socialize with the local gentry and ladies, but when she arrived in the capital, she became a deep and simple person.

Mrs. Meng's social circle is closed, which may also be one of the reasons why Meng Huaijin has become an older single young man.

Cheng Qing went to the Hanlin Academy to be on duty, and by the way, he sent the Liu family and his two sisters to the palace gate, and Meng Huaijin also sent Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng looked at it as if she hadn't slept well the night before, she was very unenergetic, and she was covered with powder, but she still couldn't hide her haggardness.

"Auntie, this is ......"

"My mother has lived in the south for a long time, and she has not adapted to the environment of the capital, let alone entered the palace."

Listening to Meng Huaijin's meaning, Mrs. Meng was very uncomfortable with the life in the capital, and when she heard that she was going to enter the palace to see the queen, she was even more nervous.

However, on the day of the Qianqiu Banquet, there were many women, and one less Mrs. Meng was inconspicuous, but today it was the queen who summoned her by name alone, and Mrs. Meng had to go.

Mrs. Meng didn't want to lose face in front of the juniors, so she insisted on greeting the Liu family.

Meng Huaijin was very apologetic, and asked the Liu family to take care of his mother in the palace.

The Liu family had to take care of their two daughters, and they had to be distracted to take care of Mrs. Meng, and the burden on their shoulders suddenly became heavier, so that when they walked into the palace gate, Liu couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.

Cheng Qing is no longer on an errand with Meng Huaijin in the same yamen, Cheng Qing is going to Hanlin Academy, and Meng Huaijin is going to Dali Temple.

Both of them are new officials who have to burn three fires when they take office, and they each have something to be busy with.

Although he knew that it would be safe for the Liu family to enter the palace with the protection of the queen's mother, he didn't see the Liu family leave the palace with his two sisters, Cheng Qing was still not at ease.

When Cheng Qing returned from the Hanlin Academy, the Liu family was already at home.

Liu's expression at this time was very similar to Mrs. Meng that Cheng Qing saw outside the palace gate in the morning, and the whole person was not quite right.

"Mother, but what happened in the palace?"

Seeing that Cheng Qing had a backbone, Liu called Cheng Qing to the house, and instructed Xiaopan to guard the door before telling Cheng Qing what happened in Kunning Palace.

As soon as the four of the Liu family entered the palace, the chief supervisor of Kunning Palace was waiting for them in person, and sent the four of them all the way to Kunning Palace.

When they arrived at Kunning Palace, the queen mother was sorting out the palace affairs, and asked the Liu family to wait for two quarters of an hour before summoning them.

When the queen sat down, she first praised Mrs. Meng, saying that Mrs. Meng would raise her son, and it was difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family.

Such a poor family has raised a son like Meng Huaijin, and Mrs. Meng has made great contributions.

"Niangniang is right, Mrs. Meng is indeed not easy."

Cheng Qing said that she wanted to take a scientific examination, and she would send books and materials in the fifth room, and her difficulty at that time was that Cheng Zhiyuan was stigmatized, and others rejected her, but starting from Kao Nanyi Academy, Cheng Qing was not constrained by too many external forces on the road of scientific research.

At least I didn't worry about the cost of reading such as bundling, and it was impossible to go hungry.

Meng Huaijin is different, the Meng family used to live in the countryside, Meng Huaijin's study path is definitely more difficult than Cheng Qing, Meng Huaijin only got the funding of Nanyi Cheng after taking the first exam, before getting the head of the case, Meng Huaijin could only rely on himself.

Liu's mind is not on Mrs. Meng now, and he said casually: "Niangniang's praise, who dares to accept it calmly?" I think Mrs. Meng is very nervous, and the lady said that there is a bush of roses in the small garden of Kunning Palace that blooms well, and let the palace maid take Mrs. Meng and your sister to have a look. ”

Hey, what did the queen do with Mrs. Meng, Cheng Ci and Cheng Min, did she have something to say to the Liu family alone?

That's why my mother was nervous when she came home.

"Did the lady say something that made you feel embarrassed?"

Liu nodded with difficulty:

"Niangniang said that she wants to protect your two sisters!"

Cheng Qing frowned, "Protecting the media for the two sisters at the same time, did you say whose family it is?" ”

"Niangniang said that your second sister is dignified and moderate, and she can be the princess and concubine, and she wants to protect your second sister and the fifth prince! As for your third sister, at first glance, she is a character who does not want to be restrained, and marrying into the official family with big rules may be constrained, it is better to marry into the family of Wuxun, the second son of the Maoguo family, this year is just the crownβ€”β€”"

A few hours had passed, and Liu's mouth was still dry.

She wasn't excited, she was scared.

These two family affairs that fell from the sky, the Liu family can't afford it!

Marry the second sister Cheng Ci to the fifth prince?

Cheng Qing subconsciously shook his head.

What is the difference between this and the sixth master of Cheng Cheng who wanted to marry Cheng Rong to the princes, Cheng's daughter marrying the prince is not simply to be a royal daughter-in-law, Cheng's daughter's 'dowry' is not only gold and silver utensils, once this family affair is completed, it is to tie Nanyi Cheng to the chariot of the five princes.

The queen suddenly wants to show the five princes the concubine, where is the mother-in-law caring about the concubine, it is clear that the middle palace and the five princes are united!

Cheng Qing has a good impression of the queen, is there actually no difference between the queen and Concubine Shu, Concubine Ning and the like?

"How did you reply to the queen, you can't already agree, right?"

Cheng Qing knew Liu's temperament, for fear that Liu's would not find a reason to resign, or he would not dare to resign, so he would be under the queen's media, so it would be more difficult for Cheng Qing to regret it.

You have no jokes, in the same way, if you accept the queen's words, how can you say that you will regret it!

Liu shook his head again and again, "Where do I dare to respond, whether it is the Fifth Prince or the Guogong Mansion, I don't know the bottom of my heart." Seeing that I didn't want to, Niangniang sighed and said that if the Cheng family didn't want to marry their daughter to the prince, it would be good to marry into the clan, and they could be rich idlers! ”
