Sure enough, Meng Hongyu did not deal with anyone because of this matter, as if nothing had happened, he still went to Cining Palace every day to greet the Queen Mother, still occasionally went to the white Sitong Hospital to spend the night, and still cared about Lin Yueyao's pregnancy from time to time.

It's just that he feels deeply guilty about Xiao Zi's inspiration. Because, Xiao Ziling and Su Zirong depend on each other in life and death, and are like sisters, if they know that Su Zirong died unjustly, then Xiao Ziling will definitely resent him for not punishing Lin Lu'an and Lin Yueyao, and not avenging Su Zirong!

After knowing the cause of Su Zirong's death for a long time, Meng Hongyu had never seen Xiao Ziling, because he was afraid of seeing Ziling's sad eyes, afraid that Ziling's smart eyes would penetrate the secrets he was trying to hide, and even more afraid that he would think of Su Zirong after seeing Ziling, and his scarred heart could no longer bear self-blame and guilt!

In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and the Queen Mother's body was still not improving, and her mood was getting lower and lower. Ziling and Lin Yueyao are pregnant again, so they can't walk around with their six-month-old bellies, and they can't overwork. Therefore, Meng Hongyu handed over this year's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet to Liu Ruxin to preside over, after all, she had also presided over such banquets when she was a concubine, so she was more familiar.

Since the day Xinrou fell into the water, Meng Hongyu often went to the Sile Courtyard to see his daughter, and often stayed in the Sile Courtyard to eat with their mother and daughter, although he still did not stay in the Sile Courtyard for the night, but as long as Meng Hongyu would not forget their mother and daughter, and occasionally came to see them, Liu Ruxin was already happy enough - besides, she believed that as long as Meng Hongyu still had this trace of affection in her heart, then she would have a chance to capture his heart again!

Because of Su Zirong's incident, Meng Hongyu was exhausted and had no emotions for the holiday, so this year's Mid-Autumn Festival dinner was much simpler. When the children of the royal family and important ministers and generals were invited to the banquet on Phoenix Terrace, Ziling politely refused to attend on the grounds of physical inconvenience, and the Queen Mother did not attend due to poor health, but Lin Yueyao went to the banquet with a stomach.

Because that night, Lin Yueyao was the highest title among the concubines attending the banquet, so she sat down proudly and became the "hostess" that night. Liu Ruxin, Bai Rushuang and the other concubines had to sit on the side, watching Lin Yueyao put on a motherly appearance, all of them were envious, jealous and hateful in their hearts.

Thinking that she had worked hard to prepare for this Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, but in the end she was making wedding clothes for others, Liu Ruxin couldn't help but grit her teeth, eager to cut Lin Yueyao with a thousand knives! However, what made her even more angry was that the person sitting next to her was Cen Ying, who had been the most favored in recent days, Ouyang Ying.

Ouyang Ying is the youngest daughter of Ouyang Gu, the county commander of Changxing County, Zhejiang, and was able to enter the palace half a month ago after being recommended by the governor of Zhejiang to the Queen Mother. It turned out that the Queen Mother knew that with Meng Hongyu's high vigilance against the Lin family, she would never make the woman of the Lin family the queen! Moreover, after experiencing Su Zirong's incident, the Queen Mother gradually became disheartened with the Lin family, and finally gave up the idea of establishing the Lin family's woman as the queen. However, she doesn't want to see Xiao Ziling become the queen, after all, the Xiao family has half the world, if another daughter becomes the queen and gives birth to the emperor's heir, then the Meng family is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the doom of the usurpation of power by her relatives!

Seeing that her body was getting worse day by day, the Queen Mother couldn't help but start worrying about Meng Hongyu, she was worried that after her death, Meng Hongyu would make Xiao Ziling the queen! She knew that Meng Hongyu really loved Xiao Ziling, and she had always been obsessed with making Xiao Ziling the queen.

Therefore, the Queen Mother wanted to support the daughter of an ordinary family to be the queen before her death. Why the daughter of an ordinary family? Because the daughters of ordinary families have no power or power, they don't have to worry about their relatives usurping power; Because the daughters of ordinary families need the support of the Queen Mother more and are easier to be controlled by the Queen Mother; Because the daughters of ordinary families know more about Entubao, because they are worried about the kindness of the Queen Mother, after a hundred years of the Queen Mother, they can also help the Lin family.

Therefore, the Queen Mother instructed the governor of Zhejiang to secretly look for a beautiful and virtuous Jiangnan woman, and Ouyang Ying became the queen mother's pawn in this way, and entered the palace with the "task" of being the queen. After entering the palace, Meng Hongyu saw Ouyang Ying's eyebrows like willow leaves in early spring, his face like a peach blossom in March, his slender waist, his sandalwood mouth was light, and his jade appearance was good, she was really a stunning woman! Therefore, Meng Hongyu happily promised her and let her sleep night after night.

Seeing Ouyang Ying's special pet night and night, Lin Yueyao was so angry that she was smoking, and she also had a lot of complaints about the Queen Mother in her heart, but she dared to complain but didn't dare to speak. Liu Ruxin was also so angry that she couldn't sleep well, afraid that Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway, would ruin her plan to "regain the holy favor".

Only Bai Rushuang was secretly happy in her heart, because the favor that Ouyang Ying got was all shared from Xiao Ziling, and it did not endanger her Bai Rushuang's status, but endangered Xiao Ziling's interests. Since Su Zirong's death, Bai Rushuang has lived in fear every day. She was afraid that Xiao Ziling would know that she had "indirectly" killed Su Zirong, and she clearly knew that if Xiao Ziling knew that she had something to do with Su Zirong's death, then she would no longer have a place in this harem! Therefore, the more favored Ouyang Ying is, the more Xiao Ziling falls out of favor, and at the same time, it also means that she is as white as frost, the safer she is.

Since entering the palace, Ouyang Ying was the first time to participate in such a major banquet, because she was afraid of making a mistake, she just sat quietly in her seat, saying few words and being cautious. She was wearing a well-fitting palace dress cut from plain white silk satin, slightly powdered, beautiful and graceful, like a hibiscus out of water, but there was a trace of indifference and arrogance hidden between her eyebrows and eyes, with a lofty posture of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Bai Rushuang secretly turned her head to look at Ouyang Ying from time to time, trying to find an opportunity to talk to her, so as to win her over and use her. However, Ouyang Ying seemed to have a lot on her mind, and she didn't talk to the concubines present, but just poured herself a drink sullenly.

Finally, I finally saw Ouyang Ying get up and leave his seat, and Bai Rushuang hurriedly followed out quietly.

I saw that after Ouyang Ying went out through the side door, she stood alone on the corridor outside the hall, she raised her head and looked at the crystal clear full moon in the sky for a long time. She misses her parents who are far away in Jiangnan, and she also misses the man who is as gentle as jade......

For "him", Ouyang Ying is willing to sacrifice everything he has, even his life! Because of this, when "he" came to look for her that day and asked her to enter the palace, she would not hesitate to agree. Although she already knew that "once she enters the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on" (1), after entering the palace, she will lose her youth and freedom, family affection and love, but for the "great cause" of his life, she is willing to pay her life!

"What is my sister doing?" The soft female voice came from behind her, and Ouyang Ying was startled......
