It's hard for everyone to accept this, it's not just a simple matter of sycophancy.

Generally, sisters-in-law and brother-in-law have some topics of criticism. In previous years, Meng Yunting and Xiao Yulin both wore red, so that others would naturally talk about it. Although they also know that Meng Yunting and Xiao Yulin have no relationship at all except for the relationship between uncle and sister-in-law.

If everyone only patted on the back at this time, saying that Meng Yunting was young, it would make Xiao Yuhong think that they were pretending to be confused with their cleverness and not helping Meng Yunting explain this statement. If they help Meng Yunting explain this statement, it will be another taboo against Xiao Yuhong.

In addition, this topic not only dragged the two young ladies into it, but also involved the key to King Rui. If one doesn't say good, it will make Empress Dowager Zhao unhappy.

Therefore, this topic can only be picked up by Xiao Yulin.

Xiao Yulin said with a smile: "The imperial sister-in-law is seventy or eighty this year? Even the queen mother can't be called 'old' for the time being, is the imperial sister-in-law older than the queen mother? If it weren't for the white on the queen mother's head, others would still think that there were two sisters sitting on it! ”

Xiao Yuhong said angrily: "Presumptuous! Is there still humility in the eyes of King Rui? Sycophant, did you shoot like this? The queen mother is the elder, how can she be called sisters with the queen? ”

Meng Yunting said with a smile: "The concubines don't dare to be the same generation as the queen mother!" It's just that what King Rui said is that the concubine and the queen mother look like they are about the same age! Just now the concubine said that she was old, didn't she also tell the queen mother? However, the concubine said the wrong thing, and King Rui couldn't point it out directly, so he could only use such a statement to remind the concubine. ”

How can a woman not like others to say that she is young? Empress Dowager Zhao listened to other people's words, and knew in her heart that these were flattering words, but she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, especially when her precious son praised her.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and said, "Hehe! The queen is talking about the common thing again! In the end, there are many words about women's families! Now it's a feast with all the families and their families, don't keep talking about our own affairs! The young lady of the Zhang family was to please the mourning family, so she gave her a festive dress and let her wear it to the banquet. Don't be surprised, Queen. If there is anything that the family is happy about, you can also say it directly, so that everyone can be happy! ”

Meng Yunting said to the Empress Dowager Zhao: "The queen mother also said that our women's family has a lot of words, and we like to talk about the short things in the family." Most of the people here are the talents of the pillars and the lady of the boudoir, so they can't say this, let them listen, maybe they don't bother to listen! The banquet is still dominated by them, let the emperor and the pillars talk, and we can listen from the sidelines. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hmm! The queen not only has to run the harem in normal times, but now even at the banquet, she knows that the government is important, which is really the style of the queen of the country! There are more common words in the mourning family today, but it is inconvenient for the emperor to stop the mourning family, but the queen is bolder. ”

Subsequently, Empress Dowager Zhao said to Xiao Yuhong: "Emperor, the next occasion will be handed over to you!" ”

Xiao Yuhong humbly said to the Empress Dowager Zhao: "If the queen mother has anything to say, she can speak freely!" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao raised her hand and said, "Hey! The mourning family will only say some of the short things in the parents, so as not to disturb Yaxing. In the evening, our own feast, when the time comes, let the mourning family say whatever they want! ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "The Queen Mother is serious! ”

Next, Xiao Yuhong spoke to the ministers. That is to say, some undefeated and prosperous government affairs, and then the ministers put forward some things that are beneficial to the government and government, and everyone is also very interested in not talking about some disgusting topics on this occasion.

It was not Huo Mengluo's turn to speak on this occasion, listening to the Empress Dowager Zhao and Meng Yunting singing and harmonizing, she was very jealous in her heart, and she had to keep a smile on her face.

Zhang Luyao just sat on the side with a smile and listened and watched, on this kind of occasion, as long as she didn't mention her things, she would never take the initiative to speak.

Meng Yunting only smiled and sat on the side, not knowing if she was listening to the audience, she was thinking about something else.

When she said that earlier, she was not angry, nor did she sow discord, but just to see the reaction of the two parties. As a result, she saw that the two parties were very calm, and she had some guesses in her heart.

The red dress Zhong Yuqi wore was given to her by Xiao Yulin, and she didn't know the origin of this dress beforehand. When Empress Dowager Zhao made trouble, she was not afraid, but excused herself with "shallow knowledge". It can be seen that this "Miss Zhong" was not really born in the countryside.

Looking at Xiao Yulin and Zhong Yuqi both wearing red clothes, and frequently whispering with Zhong Yuqi at the banquet, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is close. And Xiao Yulin rejected Empress Dowager Zhao's proposal before, is it possible, the person Xiao Yulin wants to marry is Zhong Yuqi?

Reminiscent of the prince's case ten years ago, Xiao Yulin had a very good relationship with Zhong Yuqi of Zhongfu at that time. There are even rumors that Xiao Yulin will marry Zhong Yuqi as a concubine in the future. And the Zhong Yuqi in the Huancai Pavilion doesn't know the whereabouts, I don't know, is this Miss Zhong Zhong Yuqi?

But if she could guess this, it would be impossible for Xiao Yuhong not to guess it, and even Xiao Yuhong already knew about it. However, why didn't Xiao Yuhong stop Xiao Yulin from doing this? Even, Empress Dowager Zhao wants to invite Zhong Yuqi into the palace for a banquet?

Does this mean that Xiao Yuhong and Empress Dowager Zhao both acquiesced to Xiao Yulin's desire to marry Zhong Yuqi as a concubine? But just now, Empress Dowager Zhao attacked Zhong Yuqi again, is this a disgrace to Zhong Yuqi?

Look at Zhang Ruliu again, when she mentioned that Zhang Ruliu was wearing red clothes before, Zhang Ruliu's face was not a trace of fear. Later, when the Empress Dowager Zhao talked about it, Meng Yunting knew that Zhang Ruliu was backed by the Empress Dowager Zhao.

Recalling the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Empress Dowager Zhao was obviously optimistic about Zhang Ruliu. But now, Empress Dowager Zhao summoned Zhong Yuqi to the palace for a banquet, so who do Xiao Yuhong and Empress Dowager Zhao plan to appoint as concubines?

Zhang Ruliu is Zhang Luyao's niece, Zhang Luyao is Xiao Yuhong's favorite concubine, and there is a threat to her queen and Xiao Ziteng's crown prince, Meng Yunting is on guard in her heart, naturally she doesn't want Zhang Ruliu to be Princess Rui.

Ten years ago, Zhang Sizhao was Zhong Shiting's subordinate. Regarding the case of the crown prince, Zhang Sizhao also had the merit of reporting, and was later supported by Xiao Yuhong as the imperial history. In this way, Zhong Yuqi and Zhang Ruliu can be regarded as enemies.

No matter who Zhong Yuqi and Zhang Ruliu are the princesses of Rui, what are the intentions of Xiao Yuhong and Empress Dowager Zhao?

Let Zhang Ruliu marry into the Rui Wangfu, that is to raise the Zhang family, she knows. But Xiao Yuhong punished Zhong Yuqi all over the house, and it is said that he is also Zhong Yuqi's enemy, how could Xiao Yuhong let Zhong Yuqi marry into the Rui Wangfu?
