Meng didn't sleep all night. Early the next morning, she covered her swollen eyes with fat powder and boarded the carriage.

Xie Yanhe had just finished breakfast when he heard that Princess Fuqing was visiting, and immediately asked the palace maid Xuan to come in.

Princess Fuqing finished saluting Xie Yanhe and sat on the Luohan bed with a smile.

"Can the son-in-law ask the queen mother to step back?"

"You all go down."

After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip gently.

After all the palace people were gone, Princess Fuqing spoke: "The son heard the horse come back and said that the father and the queen mother were annoyed, and he specially asked the son to intercede." ”

"Oh? That's what Chu Horse told you? It also alarmed you. Xie Yanhe snorted lightly, refusing to say the word "forgive".

Princess Fuqing knew her temperament very well, and said extremely gently and carelessly: "Queen Mother, what the father and emperor do to you, you don't need to say it, you should also know it." Not to mention one Meng Rongrong, even ten, my father will not take a second look. Among them...... There is another secret. ”

"If there really is something else hidden, can't your father explain it to this palace face to face? is clearly a thief. Xie Yanhe said nonchalantly.

Princess Fuqing bent her eyes, and said in an exaggerated tone, "It's not that the queen mother is too powerful. The father is afraid of his wife like a tiger, and he is afraid that you will not even give him a chance to explain, and will blast people out directly. My father is the king of a country, and he can't afford to lose this face. ”

"Bastard, even Hongu dares to joke!" Xie Yanhe raised his eyebrows, and twisted Princess Fuqing's waist with a gesture, but the strength was not heavy.

But Princess Fuqing saw through Xie Yanhe's fake trick, she blinked a pair of beautiful eyes, and there was a faint banter in her phoenix eyes, as if to say, wouldn't you?

Xie Yanhe couldn't hold it back, and the corners of his lips curled. This smile is like the melting of spring snow and the thawing of ice flowers, which is really beautiful.

She sneered: "According to the palace, you are a sloppy person." ”

"As long as the queen mother is willing to forgive her father, what if the son admits it." Princess Fuqing had a light smile on her face, and she couldn't see the slightest trace of fireworks.

Xie Yanhe snorted and said unhurriedly: "You don't have to be sloppy here in this palace." Isn't there something else going on? Let's hear it. ”

Princess Fuqing knew that Xie Yanhe was not so perfunctory.

She lowered her voice and said, "Father and Emperor suspect that Aunt Changning's grandmother is involved with the old ministry of Prince Er, and the horse has already found evidence. Yesterday in the pavilion, my father also had the intention of luring the snake out of the hole. ”

Xie Yanhe didn't buy Princess Fuqing's explanation, she said in a manful voice: "The king of a country, to be the bait for 'luring the snake out of the hole', this sacrifice is inevitably too big." ”

Although Xie Yanhe's tone was light, there was a thick mockery in his words.

Princess Fuqing saw her witty, and although she wanted to laugh, she tried her best to hold back.

Princess Fuqing hurriedly coughed, suppressed the smile in her throat, and said with a strained face: "Since my father has made such a big sacrifice, the queen mother should forgive my father." ”

Xie Yanhe lowered his head and gently flicked the lid on the teacup.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Princess Fuqing swallowed what she wanted to say silently into her stomach.

Princess Fuqing thought about it for a while. If Chu Yan is like this, even if he has thousands of legitimate reasons, he will not forgive himself lightly.

Therefore, Princess Fuqing felt that she had tried her best, and it could be regarded as an explanation to her father, so she planned to change the topic and pick some interesting things to talk about.

At this moment, the palace people came in and reported: "Slaves and maids see the queen's mother." The queen mother, Mrs. Changxingbo knelt outside the palace gate and asked to see you. ”

"Presumably it was for the sake of Wei Ya's intercession." Princess Fuqing looked at Xie Yanhe and said respectfully: "Since the queen mother has something to do, the son will retire." ”

Xie Yanhe nodded: "We'll talk another day." ”

She ordered the palace people to send Princess Fuqing out, and her face immediately turned cold: "Xuan." ”

Although the Tangshan Palace is not as vast as the Imperial Palace, it still took half an hour for the Meng family to walk from the palace gate to Fengyi Palace.

When Meng Shi entered the hall, he just caught up with Xie Yanhe and using bird's nest and fine points.

Meng Shi respectfully saluted, the queen mother did not call up, she only dared to kneel tremblingly, and when the queen asked her to withdraw the snacks, the cold sweat on her body had already soaked through her clothes.

"Auntie is here to intercede with my aunt and grandmother?" Although Xie Yanhe hated the Meng family for making ghosts, for the sake of his uncle's face, he still gave the Meng family three points of face.

"Returning to the queen's mother, my mother was blinded for a while, trespassed into the palace, and was disrespectful to the queen's mother, and the courtiers did not dare to intercede."

Hearing Meng's words, Xie Yanhe raised her eyebrows, she thought that Meng was here to intercede for her mother, which was a little unexpected.

Xie Yanhe's complexion slowed down a little, she gave a glance to the mandarin duck, motioned to help Meng Shi up, and said softly: "Look at the memory of this palace, aunt please get up quickly." Family, don't be so polite. ”

As soon as Meng entered the main hall, he was given a dismount by the queen's mother, who dared to look down on this niece at this moment, and hurriedly said: "Courtiers, thank the queen for her grace." It's just that the queen is generous, but the courtiers can't be unpolite. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanhe bent his lips shallowly.

From Meng's point of view, the woman sitting on the phoenix seat is wearing a bright yellow palace skirt, with a red gold and emerald phoenix peony gemstone hairpin inserted in her hair, and the center of her eyebrows is pasted with a flower that forgets her worries.

It was not until this moment that Meng's heart gave birth to a trace of enlightenment, the orphan girl who was once not loved by her grandmother and was difficult to support herself has become the master of the middle palace above ten thousand people under one person, and her aunt can only bow down in front of her.

Meng's original five points of caution turned into ten, her fingers rubbed the sweat that came out of her palms, and she stood up with the support of the mandarin duck.

Meng Shi is pampered on weekdays, kneeling for a long time, and when she got up, she shook a little, she was afraid that the queen mother would notice the clue, and then put a charge of "disgrace in front of the palace", gritted her teeth and stood still.

Seeing this, Xie Yanhe said lightly: "Give Mrs. Changxingbo a seat." ”

When Meng Shi heard this, he hurriedly asked Xie Yan and Xie En, but he only dared to sit on half of the chair.

Meng's cautiousness did not make Xie Yanhe relax his vigilance, and after ordering the palace maid to serve tea, she seemed to be gossiping and chatting with Meng's family: "I heard Your Majesty mention in this palace that my uncle was transferred to the household department last month. The Ministry of Industry where my uncle worked was the famous Shimizu Yamen, and although the official affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs were complicated, according to the opinion of the main palace, it was better than the original Ministry of Industry. But Bengong doesn't know what his uncle means, and it's not good to make decisions without permission, so my aunt came over today and just helped Bengong to bring a message to my uncle. ”

Xie Yanhe's face softened, and he said slowly.

Since Meng didn't use his mother's affairs to disgust himself, Xie Yanhe was naturally willing to loosen his fingers and give his uncle a future.

Speaking of which, although her uncle is a little mediocre, and the relationship with her is not far or close, there is nothing wrong with the festival.

I can't write two words of thanks in one stroke, in this case, moving his position can also give him a good name.

Xie Yanhe's calm words were like throwing a boulder into Meng's heart, and the waves were stormy for a while, and Meng's whole person was stunned.

Meng Shi was stunned for a while, but he still pinched his palm hard before he came back to his senses from this huge surprise.

"Niangniang, my uncle's official position in the Ministry of Industry is from Liupin. Niangniang also knows that there is generally no major incident in this Ministry of Industry, and she does not hide from Niangniang that although the uncle has always been diligent in dealing with official duties, he has never made any achievements. This spirit is gone. ”

Meng Shi was both expectant and apprehensive in his heart, but the expression on his face was full of smiles.

Xie Yanhe didn't let Meng Shi worry for too long, took a sip of tea, and said softly: "Aunt Lao went back to tell my uncle." There happens to be a vacancy in the position of Tobe Langzhong, and if my uncle is willing, this palace will ask His Majesty for a favor next time. ”

Meng Shi swept away the gloom in his heart, and said with surprise and joy: "Thank you for the grace of the queen, the courtiers will go back and tell the uncle." If the uncle knew, he was afraid that he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep at night. ”

"Auntie, don't be happy too early, this matter still needs His Majesty's consent before it can be promoted." Xie Yanhe said with a smile.

Although the queen mother did not say everything, according to His Majesty's favor for the mother, just a man from the five grades, His Majesty will definitely not brush the face of the queen mother.

Therefore, the Meng family was still happy as if something was going on, and even responded "yes", solemnly assuring: "The queen can rest assured, before this matter is settled, the courtiers will not reveal a word to outsiders." ”

"It's good if my aunt is measured." After Xie Yanhe finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table.

Serving tea to the guests, Meng Shi saw it, and knew that the queen mother had let herself take the initiative to leave, but she came today with her husband's orders.

Regarding Xie Yanhe's actions, Meng Shi was cheeky and didn't see it, she said cautiously: "Can you ask the queen to retreat?" The courtiers have something important to return. ”

Xie Yanhe's eyebrows raised slightly, this was the second time she had heard this sentence today.

"Stand down." Xie Yanhe put down the teacup in his hand and commanded in a deep voice.

The palace people in the main hall retreated, leaving only the mandarin ducks to serve by their side.

Meng recognized that this was the confidant and eldest maid brought into the palace by the queen's mother from the Jingping Marquis Mansion, so he did not ask the mandarin duck to step down.

Meng Shi silently straightened the creases on her dress, she got up from her chair and knelt on the ground in silence.

"Auntie, what is this doing? The floor tiles are cold, but my aunt still sits and talks. ”

Xie Yanhe's heart slammed.

Isn't it that Meng Shi felt that he had just given his uncle an official, so he had to look at Shu Long, and he was about to intercede for his mother's family?

Meng didn't know that his actions were misunderstood by the queen mother.

She gritted her teeth and said in a trembling voice, "The courtiers are guilty. ”

Xie Yanhe was once again surprised by the battle that Meng had made.

This aunt of mine has always been domineering. Grandmother Ping'an eldest princess has a lot of power, and among the three daughters-in-law, only Meng dares to smile in front of the eldest princess of Ping'an.

Xie Yanhe didn't believe it, because his mother's family had just fallen, Meng's temperament changed dramatically overnight, and he became the frightened bird, and he couldn't live in fear all day long.

Therefore, Xie Yanhe said with an impassive expression: "Oh? What is the guilt of the aunt? ”
