Chapter 31: Dilemma

The Queen Mother didn't seem to expect that Meng Jiao would also be such an understatement, as if the Xue family had nothing to do with her, and Xue Wan had nothing to do with her.

However, after all, the Queen Mother has been up and down for many years, and she is also wondering if Meng Jiao deliberately behaved so indifferently, after all, what Meng Jiao has done for so long, the idiots of the Meng family can't understand, but she can see it clearly.

"It's just an empty bag, but with this attitude of yours, the Mourning family really didn't expect it, the Xue family is your grandfather's family after all, and the Xue family's young lady Xue Wan is your biological mother, why did the Mourning family mention them so lightly?"

Meng Jiao is sure this time, the Queen Mother is testing her, and the Queen Mother still has an obvious hostility towards her, as if she wants to see her make a fool of herself in public, or put a big or small disrespectful hat on her.

Moreover, the Queen Mother's attitude towards the Xue family, especially towards her mother Xue Wan, seems to be a little unfriendly, and there seems to be something in Meng Jiao's heart that is gradually becoming clear, but it is still as foggy as a cloud covering the moon, so she can only deal with the Queen Mother cautiously.

"The Queen Mother's words, the concubine really doesn't know how to listen to it, the concubine is subordinate to Dayan, she is the wife of our Dayan, the Queen Mother is the most noble mother of the country in Dayan, the concubine should be the queen mother's people, I heard that the queen mother is injured, the concubine should care about the queen mother, the concubine is from a small family, and she has not been disciplined for so many years, but the concubine also knows how to be humble."

This is said to be a soft knife, openly and secretly saying that the Queen Mother does not understand the rules, and even a wild girl like her is not as good, but every sentence is reasonable, there is no way to refute it, and the Queen Mother can only suffer this dumb loss.

"Sure enough, it is a sharp tooth, nothing more than being able to become a three-grade lady, but the mourning family still has a question, you are a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, in the midst of heavy surrounding, how did you protect the emperor and retreat, the mourning family always felt unbelievable when they heard it, why don't you explain to the mourning family today what the situation was at that time?"

The Queen Mother endured her anger, and became more and more straightforward when she spoke, and kept asking about the rescue at that time, but she was actually suspecting that the things at that time were actually directed and acted by Meng Jiao, for the honor of this lady.

"Originally, I promised Your Majesty not to take this matter out, since the Queen Mother wants to know, it is probably not that the concubine can't keep it a secret, and the situation at that time is actually nothing to say, that is, Your Majesty is in distress, and it happens that the concubine on the outskirts of Beijing often goes, and the concubine is clear about what kind of sheep intestine path, and she took Your Majesty to go around the mountain a few times before the danger was saved."

"Huh! Do you think that the mourning family is an ignorant urchin! The emperor is in danger, what a big deal, you just turned the danger into a disaster so simply? Are the Praetorian Guards who have spent a lot of money to train vegetarians? The rumors in the market have spread the word that the distress is superb, and you are so perfunctory! ”

Meng Jiao said lightly, but the Queen Mother was furious when she heard it, and the people below knelt on the ground again, saying that the Queen Mother was angry, Meng Jiao knelt down unhurriedly, and she could still complain in her heart, the Queen Mother was already in a hurry, and she walked into her sleeve in three steps and two steps.

"The Queen Mother is angry, you also said, the rumors are amazing, how unbelievable the rumors are, the Queen Mother has been in a high position for a long time, but she should also be very clear, to say that it is simple to turn danger into a disaster, and the concubine body does not dare to take credit, thanks to the several traps that the concubine has laid there, of course, the most important thing is that His Majesty is blessed with Qitian, so it can be so simple to turn danger into a disaster."

Meng Jiao's indifferent attitude made everyone present a little admired, originally thought that she was just a wild girl who didn't understand the rules, but she didn't expect that she was still a master who could withstand the anger of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was even more depressed, originally to make things difficult for Meng Jiao, but now she has made this girl out of the limelight, it is really a mistake to steal chickens and eat rice, and now Meng Jiao has led the words to the emperor, and he, as the Queen Mother, naturally can't say anything.

But it doesn't matter, there is a big banquet tonight, and there are still things waiting for Meng Jiao.

"The emperor's savior, it's really not simple, okay, the mourning family is a little tired after saying these words, Mama Hu, take someone out and walk around the palace casually, if the mourning family is not mistaken, the chrysanthemums in the emperor's palace in the south corner of the palace should still be blooming, take someone there to see!"

Meng Jiao sensitively heard the word chrysanthemum inside, frowned, according to the attitude of the queen mother, nine times out of ten the chrysanthemums in it are also related to her mother Xue Wan, it seems that her mother and this palace are quite related.

Mama Hu nodded yes, and took Meng Jiao out of the Ci'an Palace, along the way Meng Jiao did not speak, Mama Hu did not speak, and the group went to the palace quietly but with a strange atmosphere.

"It's time, this palace is set up by His Majesty himself, the slave and maid don't have the blessing to go in and take a look, the little lady will go in by herself, and the slave and the maid and others are waiting outside."

"His Majesty's separate palace? I'm afraid it's not good for me to go in. ”

Meng Jiao was surprised by this Mama Hu's words, if the emperor personally set it up and did not allow outsiders to enter, then she and the emperor were not related, and she should be regarded as an out-and-out outsider, what does Mama Hu mean by this?

"Count it out, the little lady is really not an outsider, the slave and maid don't say much, you just listen to the slave and maid, you go in, Your Majesty is too late to be happy, come in, when it is time to go to the banquet, the slave and maid will call you at the door."

Hearing this, Meng Jiao wanted to excuse herself, but she was pushed in by Mama Hu, and before Meng Jiao could react, she crashed into the courtyard full of Lingyun Jinju.

Jin Ju Lingyun, needless to say, this palace was built for her mother Xue Wan nine times out of ten, Meng Jiao frowned, this Jin Ju full of courtyards is not a good thing, the emperor personally set it up, is it possible, what unknown relationship does he have with his mother?

Thinking of this, Meng Jiao felt even more that something was wrong, if this was the case, if Xue Wan and the emperor really had anything to do with it, it was impossible for An Guifei, who was a close friend of Xue Wan's boudoir, not to know about it, and if An Guifei knew about it, she had no reason not to tell herself.

With these questions, Meng Jiao walked through this piece of Jin Ju Cong, and came to the door of the main hall of this palace, to be honest, this palace can indeed be seen to have spent a lot of thought, the lines on the carved wooden door are sparse and staggered, if it is set by the emperor, it can be seen that its intentions.

"What people! Trespass on Lingyun Palace! ”
