Chapter 4: Rumors
"It's just that it came out of the palace, it should be a slave or a slave, showing off his might in front of me, it's really unreasonable!"
Since Xue Wan's death more than ten years ago, Liu Qingqing has always been the same in the Meng family, if it weren't for his background, he would have been corrected.
Even if she didn't straighten it out, no one in the mansion dared to disobey her, and she was naturally indignant when she was humiliated by a few slaves and maids in Meng Jiao's courtyard today.
"Madame, don't worry, didn't the lord tell you a few days ago, this eldest lady is in the limelight now, there are nobles in the palace to support her, Madame must be a little wronged, after this period of time, when this scenery has passed, even if she bears the name of a lady in vain, isn't she still in our house, being held by Madame?"
Mama Li stepped forward with a smile, took the tray held by a little girl in the corner, and served a bowl of tea to the angry Liu Qingqing. Liu Qingqing drank it angrily, and then felt a little smoother in his heart.
"That's what I said, but I looked at the attitude of those slaves and maids, and it seemed... It seems that the concubine Niangniang in the palace likes Meng Jiao very much, not like she will throw away the posture of ignoring it for a while, think about it, if it is face-saving, how can she give her own nurse to Meng Jiao? Now Meng Jiao's side is too tightly protected by those slaves, and this future action has to be carefully weighed. ”
In fact, Liu Qingqing is the strangest person now, Meng Jiao saved the emperor by mistake and had to be named Mrs. Xuan.
It stands to reason that it's just a matter of face, and it's just a matter of rewarding, why is it that half a month has passed since this matter is now, and the emperor has praised it a few times, and the concubine who has not met a few times also takes good care of Meng Jiao, which is really unreasonable.
"Isn't it, what happened to the eldest lady when she entered the palace to thank her, we don't know?"
Mama Li's words woke up Liu Qingqing, and she suddenly remembered that a few days ago, before Master Meng went to bed, he had told her that after the emperor praised Meng Jiao in the court, he immediately mentioned a few words about the selection of the princes' concubines.
In connection with this matter, think about it again, the concubine in the palace now takes care of Meng Jiao so much, does it mean that she intends to make Meng Jiao the concubine of a certain prince she has produced, so it makes sense, and the attitude towards her future daughter-in-law is naturally much better than that of ordinary Mrs. Command, to put it mildly, it is to assign her own nurse, that is, to give more out of the ordinary reward, Liu Qingqing also feels that the explanation is in the past.
"Could it be that this Meng Jiao really has this rich life? It's just a matter of flying on a branch and becoming a lady of fate, but there is still a chance to become a princess? ”
"The slave maid thinks it shouldn't be, after all, the princess pays attention to the right person, even if the eldest lady is sealed, she is also an orphan girl, and it is okay to be with an ordinary family, if you want to marry into the royal family, it is really fantastic."
"No, you don't know, Meng Jiao's three-grade fate, the number of rites is not complete, and there is also a reward for the family, just because she is still too young, this number of rites must be carried out after adulthood, at that time, the Meng family will be favored by the emperor and the family will be promoted, Meng Jiao's identity will naturally go to the next level, and the royal family can barely be regarded as a household?"
Liu Qingqing said that this number of rites is the reason why the master of the Meng family suddenly brought Meng Jiao back, if it weren't for the fact that Meng Jiao and Lu were able to get the whole family promoted, it would be impossible for the master of the Meng family to take her home against the evil fate of Meng Jiaoke's father and mother, everything is just profitable.
"In this way, the eldest lady is really likely to fly on the branches and become a phoenix..."
Mama Li frowned, she always felt that after the second lady was organized, it seemed that she had forgotten something very important, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in her mind, thinking of the reason why Meng Jiao would never marry into the royal family that was forgotten by Liu Qingqing.
With a smile on her face, she stood in front of Liu Qingqing respectfully, and said with relief: "Madame, be relieved for the time being, the slave dares to say, even if the whole family is promoted to the right household, and even more, even if the identity of the eldest lady crosses the royal family, she will never become the princess!" ”
Liu Qingqing hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”
"Madam, you forgot, the eldest lady still has a sinister life on her back!"
Hearing Mama Li's words, Liu Qingqing suddenly became enlightened in an instant, yes, even if the identity is right, the door is right, Meng Jiao will never be able to marry into the royal family, just with the number of yin and evil lives she carries, the royal family will not dare to gamble with luck, after all, even ordinary people are taboo against women who are father and mother, let alone the emperor who pays the most attention to these mysteries.
"This is really God helping me, if it weren't for Meng Jiao's early installation of such a shady reputation, we would still be helpless now! Tell me to go down and spread the news of Meng Jiaoke's father and mother slowly, don't be fast, be steady, and don't leave any clues! ”
Mama Li took the order to retreat, Liu Qingqing had a flamboyant smile on the corner of her lips, Xue Wan, Xue Wan, you couldn't fight me back then, and you were killed by me, thirteen years later, your daughter, even if she is honored by Mrs. Fate, she still can't fight me, and she still has to be at my mercy, both of you mother and daughter can only be my plaything in Liu Qingqing's palm!
Liu Qingqing set up a poison plan here, and in three or five days, rumors began to slowly spread in Beijing, saying that the eldest lady of the Meng family died strangely, and strange things happened frequently after her death, and all this is because the eldest lady of the Meng family, that is, the current lady Meng Jiao, is an ominous person with a bad fate, if he hadn't been sent out for thirteen years, the master of the Meng family might have encountered accidents now.
According to Liu Qingqing's instructions, when these rumors reached the courtyard where Meng Jiao was, the situation had expanded to a certain point, Liu Qingqing wanted to be safe, she was worried that if the people in Meng Jiao's yard heard the wind from the beginning, then it was very likely that they would report to the concubine, if the concubine made a move, this matter that had not yet fermented would definitely be easily suppressed, and her thoughts would be in vain.
Therefore, it is necessary to wait until the situation has fermented to a certain point, and it is best to let them know about it when it is beyond control, and at this time, it will be too late for them to make any moves.
Sure enough, on the day Meng Jiao heard about these rumors, Mama Lin received a secret decree from the concubine and summoned Meng Jiao to the palace for an audience.
