After Tao Xing entered the Meng family, Liu Qingqing lived a very unpleasant life every day, Tao Xing was young and had a good figure, Meng Zhongting lingered in her yard all day long, and she didn't want to talk to Liu Qingqing at all, this is okay, the key is that Tao Xing is a talented person, Meng Zhongting was coaxed by her to disperse the power of Liu Qingqing's housekeeper a little bit, which made Liu Qingqing jump in a hurry.

"Tao Xing is really a capable person, Mama is right, she is not an An An to be a maid, marrying into the Meng family and flying on the branches is what she wants."

"It's best if the little lady can think of it, but it's just to seek a common interest, Tao Xing wants to use your power to soar, you want to use her to force Liu Qingqing to do it, everyone takes what they need, no one is sorry for whom."

Thinking about it like this, Meng Jiao is no longer entangled in this matter, what she is thinking about now is the letter that Liu Qingqing handed in a few days ago, she said that she wanted to marry a legitimate third lady for Meng Zhongting, Liu Qingqing really found this candidate, that is, her maiden cousin's daughter, and now she is also at a good age, and she has not yet been married.

With an innocent family background and a good appearance, it is difficult for Meng Jiao to find fault with such a person, but if she enters the house, I am afraid that it will cause a great obstacle to Taoxing's pregnancy of a child.

"In fact, according to the slave maid, the little lady can first let her take her cousin and nephew into the capital, first see how this person's appearance is, if you feel that there is no threat, this matter will be pushed along the river, if the little lady thinks it is inappropriate, you can refuse, Liu Qingqing now, and do not dare to really match the little lady."

Meng Jiao frowned, this is indeed the only way, after all, Liu Qingqing is now kind to the outside world and has a reputation for being virtuous, and besides, even if there is no such thing as marrying into the door as a wife, it is understandable for people to take their cousin and nephew into Beijing.

Thinking about this, Meng Jiao replied to Liu Qingqing, saying that it was the best for her cousin to enter Beijing, and when she arrived in the capital, she would send it here first, so that the two families would be close.

Before this cousin entered Beijing, the concubine in the palace sent someone out first, saying that she hadn't seen Mrs. Decree for a while, and wanted to invite Meng Jiao into the palace to narrate, Concubine An and Xue Wan were close friends, and took more care of Meng Jiao.

"The little lady is here! The slave maid is the maid in the palace of the concubine Niangniang, the little lady can call the slave maid Sakura, the concubine Niangniang is still summoning other concubines, and instructed the slave maid to take the little lady to the imperial garden to take a stroll first. ”

Since it was Concubine An's order, Meng Jiao naturally had no reason to shirk, so she followed this maid named Ying Ling to the imperial garden, the scenery was really good along the way, Meng Jiao had to praise, sure enough, the royal scenery was ingenious, and the autumn was not lost in the prosperity of spring.

"It's... Royal Lake? ”

"Yes, this is the most beautiful place in our palace, the little lady looks at the lotus flowers all over the lake, these are all varieties that change every day, only open for one day, but it's rare!"

Meng Jiao was also shocked that the lotus flowers in the lake were in full bloom in autumn, and they were really beautiful, and I heard that this lotus flower was only for one day to watch, and she sighed in her heart.

"Little lady, further ahead is the Tongxin Pavilion on the Royal Lake, the concubine Niangniang ordered, please be sure to go up and take a look at this autumn scenery, compared to here, it is better, but the trestle of this Tongxin Pavilion is extremely narrow, and the slave maid will wait for you on the side, so I will not follow."

Ying Ning said, bowed and walked to the other side, Meng Jiao thought about it, after all, Concubine An Guifei would not harm her, so it was okay to go to this Tongxin Pavilion to have a look, thinking so, she slowly walked up to the trestle bridge in the imperial lake.

Tongxin Pavilion is very close to the center of the lake, so it is impossible to see what this pavilion looks like from a distance, Meng Jiao walked forward cautiously step by step, and when she could see the whole picture of this pavilion, she found that it was not empty.

"In the Yan Dynasty, the fourth prince of Xia Dayan, I have given a gift to the little lady!"

It seemed that he heard Meng Jiao's footsteps, and the young man standing in the pavilion suddenly looked back, smiled at the corner of his lips, and bowed down, but it turned out that this was Concubine An's first son, Yan Chao, the fourth prince of Dayan.

"I don't know if the Fourth Highness is here, it's the concubine who is disturbing and rude, please don't be surprised by the Fourth Highness."

Meng Jiao was a little stunned, but she only felt that this was a coincidence, after all, the lotus flowers in the lake were rare, and there must be some who wanted to watch here, but Meng Jiao was still too naïve, if she hadn't waited here early in the morning, and had arranged this chance encounter here early in the morning, why did she take so much trouble to bring her here?

"The autumn scenery of the imperial garden is just right, this full lake lotus is really rare, the hall alone here to enjoy but also feel bored, it just so happens that the little lady is here, I don't know, the little lady is willing to accompany the hall to watch the lotus here?"

Yan Chao is too gentle, he looks like a young man who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but he speaks with a steady heart, Meng Jiao likes this kind of person who obeys the rules very much, and since he is the child of Concubine An, he must have no malicious intent.

"Since it was invited by the Four Highnesses, the concubine be..."

"It's cool in autumn, Gillian, don't stand on the tuyere."

Meng Jiao wanted to say yes, but was interrupted by a voice that suddenly appeared behind her, Meng Jiao herself didn't know how obvious the surprise on her face was when she turned around, Shen Yunxiao didn't know when she appeared behind the two of them, Yan Chao saw Shen Yunxiao, the look in his eyes was dark and inexplicable, but after a while, he was the humble and gentle young man again.

"It turns out that Shen Shuai is here, it seems that the scenery of the imperial garden is really unique, Shen Shuai will also be attracted by the lotus flowers all over the lake, the little lady and the palace are just enjoying the lotus together, if it is cold, the palace will order someone to send a cloak."

"The minister thanks the four highnesses for Gillian's kindness, but Gillian is very picky about the color, if the color is not good, she will not be used, the lotus has been seen, people, the minister will take it away."

Shen Yun took the little girl who automatically leaned over behind her without a trace, and replied a few words with a smile on the smiling face held by Shang Yanchao, although Meng Jiao didn't understand these words very well, she also knew that the atmosphere between the two people seemed to be a little wrong, but with Shen Yunxiao standing in front of her, her heart was very steady, so she was just quietly protected behind her, and she didn't make a sound.

"Why does the palace think that Shen Shuai seems to be a little dissatisfied with the palace's invitation to the little lady to enjoy the lotus here?"
