Xia Mengning withdrew her hand, put down the sedan curtain, and said to Zhulian on the side: "I feel very tired after climbing the mountain, so I will squint for a while." Zhu Lian brought the cushion and put it behind her, Xia Mengning pretended to sleep, and occasionally raised her eyes to glance at Mother Xin opposite.

She has no power or backing in this prime minister's mansion, Fang's mother and daughter regard themselves as a thorn in the flesh, their father is just a famous ornament, as for grandmother, Xia Mengning thought, she may just want to find someone to counterbalance Fang's arrogance, those aunts and sisters-in-law are even more unfathomable, there is nothing to rely on, the rest is only to save herself.

Xia Mengning leaned on the swaying carriage, thinking constantly, not only herself, but also the fourth aunt, if she was still firmly controlled by the Fang family like in her previous life, then the consequence would be the same as in her previous life, a woman always has to marry, but who she marries is related to what different changes in her life, after thinking about it, there are not many people I know, but this eldest grandson Yun is really the most suitable, so there is the scene just now.

The eldest grandson Yun is the son of the king of Dingxi, the king of Dingxi and the current emperor's mother, this eldest grandson Yun is the most favored person in front of the emperor, that is, some princes, are not as good as his prestige.

Xia Mengning remembered that in the previous life, the emperor abolished the crown prince because of corruption and bribery, and replaced the eldest grandson Mo who had made meritorious contributions, and the son of the king of Dingxi was also involved in the case at that time, but he was changed by the emperor, and overnight, all the evidence against Changsun Yun disappeared, and Changsun Yun escaped.

Thinking about it now, if it wasn't for the emperor's intention at that time, how could the people below dare to easily meddle in such a shocking case.

The eldest grandson Yun is a person who can be relied on, if he marries him, it is naturally good to be the main room, but even if he is a side room, he will have the ability to improve his life and that of his aunt.

Xia Meng thought about it for a while, and made up his mind in his heart, and now, he was going to test the attitude of the eldest grandson.

Thinking of countermeasures, Xia Mengning let herself fall asleep leisurely, the carriage swayed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhulian gently shook Xia Mengning's arm, "Miss, wake up, we're here." ”

Xia Mengning opened her eyes and supported her forehead a little weakly, "Go down." ”

The three of them got out of the carriage, Xia Mengning put on her gauze hat, Zhulian helped her slowly walk into the house, the little guy over there had already gone in to report Xia Chuanyuan, Xia Mengning just walked in, and saw Xia Chuanyuan hurrying in.

"I've seen the prince of Dingxi." Xia Chuanyuan was full of smiles, and he was particularly welcoming to this prince who had never befriended the court officials, indeed, the eldest grandson Yun was uninhibited by nature, and there were indeed many officials in the court who wanted to befriend him, after all, he was the emperor's favorite person, but this eldest grandson Yun never bought their accounts, which made many people who wanted to slap him rack their brains.

The last time something happened suddenly, Xia Chuanyuan didn't have time to be happy, this time he took the initiative to come to the door, Xia Chuanyuan's excited eyebrows were raised to the sky, thinking that if this son was willing to stand on the same front with him, then he would have a strong and powerful tree to rely on.

"The prince is coming to the cold house today, why don't you send someone to inform you, and the old minister can prepare a banquet for the prince."

Eldest Sun Yun looked at Xia Chuanyuan in front of him, and his heart had not yet come out of what had just happened, so he just said casually, "I went to Jingming Temple today to pray for the emperor, and I happened to meet the third lady of the prime minister, and I wanted to come by the way, so I sent her back." ”

Xia Mengning walked over to Fu Shen, "I've seen Daddy." ”

Xia Chuanyuan is an understanding person, he heard the doorway at a glance, looking at Xia Mengning, who was supported by Zhulian, although he was wearing a gauze hat, he still couldn't hide his good temperament, this Dingxi Wang's prince has not yet married, if Ning'er pleases him, it is also a great blessing to be accepted as a side room by the prince, but it is a pity that her concubine status can only be a side room, if Xi'er is ...... Xia Chuanyuan thought about it, and his heart couldn't help but bloom.

Eldest Sun Yun looked at Xia Mengning and coughed unnaturally, "If the prime minister is appreciative, how about inviting me in for a cup of tea, I heard that there is an excellent Wufeng silver needle in the prime minister's mansion, I don't know if I am lucky enough to taste it today?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly smiled and nodded repeatedly, "The prince has a drink on his face, and the old minister can't refuse, so please come inside?" Changsun Yun followed Xia Chuanyuan and walked forward, walked a few steps and turned his head to look at Xia Mengning behind him, who was looking at his back thoughtfully, the two looked at each other, Xia Mengning hurriedly lowered his head, but Changsun Yun laughed, only to feel that Yiren was blushing, it was so happy.

Xia Chuanyuan smiled, "The prince seems to be in a good mood, isn't the emperor ......?"

This old horseman! Eldest Sun Yun scolded in his heart, wanting to know the emperor's affairs through himself, and thinking beautifully!

The eldest grandson Yun smiled, as if he was intimately hugging Xia Chuanyuan's shoulder, "Prime Minister Xia Cheng is worried about state affairs, and he won't even let go of the time when I personally go to the mansion to ask for a cup of tea, one day I will definitely learn from Uncle Huang, and let Uncle Huang give you an official and a knighthood, so that you can become a model for everyone in the court to learn, okay, Prime Minister Xia?" ”

Xia Chuanyuan was dripping in a cold sweat by the eldest grandson's insignificant words, this is the most hated thing by the saint today, if the emperor knows about it......

Eldest Sun Yun saw his thoughts, and he was disdainful in his heart, but he persuaded him kindly, "Prime Minister Xia doesn't have to worry, Uncle Huang loves me, knows my temperament, and won't complain about you, but if you don't give me the Wufeng Silver Needle today, then I won't necessarily say anything." ”

Xia Chuanyuan hurriedly bowed down again and again, "What did the prince say, let's go there first and sit on the rain platform, and the people under the Wufeng Silver Needle will be delivered soon." ”

The eldest grandson Yun smiled and followed Xia Chuanyuan towards the listening platform.

Xia Mengning returned to the Bamboo Branch Garden and was about to enter the inner room, when she suddenly stopped and smiled at Mother Xin behind her: "Mother Xin is tired after a day, go down and rest." ”

Mother Xin's face was pale, but she was sent by the old lady to be her personal mother, why didn't she even let her into the inner room, and immediately said coldly: "The third lady is tired of traveling and driving, Zhulian is afraid that she can't serve alone, although the old slave is old, but even the old lady praises the old lady, the third lady will let the old slave help you." ”

As he spoke, he wanted to enter the inner room without hesitation.

Xia Mengning stretched out her hand and stopped Mother Xin outside, this remark was to use the old lady to press herself, Xia Mengning sneered, if she can bring you over, she will naturally have a way to let you use it for yourself.

"Mother Xin is afraid that she is confused, I have never liked idle people waiting in and out of my boudoir, you said that grandmother praised you, then I will ask grandmother, this slave who does not listen to the master's orders to break into the master's inner room can be regarded as a good slave!"

The last sentence was a stern word, Xin's mother was scared, Xia Mengning withdrew her hand, whispered to Xin's mother, "Mother Xin, don't forget, I can ask you from my grandmother, I can send you back, you have all those pickled ideas in your heart, and the province will end up with your life." ”

After speaking, Xia Mengning smiled and shouted outside, "Jiu'er." Jiu'er trotted in all the way, "Third Miss, what's the matter?" ”

Xia Mengning flicked her hands, "This is the new Mother Xin, you go and arrange a place for her, Mother Xin is the person sent by her grandmother, don't be lazy." After speaking, he helped Zhulian into the inner room, first bathed, Xia Mengning sat on the small couch, Zhulian brought a bowl of clear lotus dew, Xia Mengning scooped and drank, and praised: "Aunt Hui quality Lanxin, this summer lotus leaf dew with lotus root sugar powder, drinking it is very refreshing." ”

Zhu Lian walked over and looked at the door curtain with some concern, and said to Xia Mengning: "Why is the third lady so unbreathed today, Mother Na Xin, but the old lady sent it, if she goes to the old lady to say bad things about you......"

Xia Mengning shook her head, "I used to please her because I had no backer in this mansion and only wanted to rely on my grandmother's power, but today I thought of a better way, so naturally I don't need to smile in front of them." ”

Xia Mengning finished drinking a bowl, handed the bowl to Zhulian, got up and walked to the dresser, the mirror reflected the beautiful face of the woman, although it was only a thirteen-year-old appearance, it was difficult to take off her eyes.

Looking at the person in the mirror, Xia Mengning said slowly: "Zhulian, what do you think is the greatest happiness in a woman's life?" ”

Zhu Lian looked at Xia Mengning and said, "Naturally, I am looking for a good husband and living a stable life." Xia Mengning nodded, took out a cyan hairpin carved with magnolia flowers from the box, stroked the tassel hanging down the hairpin with her bare hands, and looked at the person behind her from the mirror, "What does Zhu Lian think, how about the prince of Dingxi?" ”

Zhu Lian looked at Xia Mengning in surprise, "Miss......"

Xia Mengning smiled, "Although the prince is not a prince, he is more important than the prince, I look at his demeanor today, he is the dragon and phoenix among people." ”

Zhu Lian stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Miss wants ......?"

Xia Mengning nodded, "There is no other way now, I want to save my life and my aunt's life, and I want to fight for more glory to ensure the stability of my future life, a woman will marry sooner or later, rather than handing over my marriage to the fake Fang clan, it is better for me to fight hard and fight for a future for myself and my aunt." ”

Zhu Lian was a little worried, "Miss, in terms of identity, is it too aggrieved to be a concubine?" ”

Xia Mengning shook his head, "Will I be a concubine, as long as it depends on the attitude of the prince to me, if he wants me to be the main room, I am afraid that even the emperor will not object, my father is only focused on the previous dynasty and his official position, if I can sit on the throne of the princess of the king of Dingxi, he is afraid that it will be too late to be happy." ”

As he spoke, he carefully traced the eyebrows of the distant mountain, and said to Zhu Lian: "Do you see the attitude of your father today, the prince is still in the house, and the few below are not fuel-efficient lamps, they must be dressed up and sent to me, Zhu Lian, you go and open my box." ”

Xia Mengning stood up, Zhu Lian hurriedly opened the suitcase, Xia Mengning looked at it carefully, and laughed softly, "These are all old clothes that I didn't wear in the past few years, this grandmother of mine really loves me." ”

Xia Mengning looked over one by one, picked out a azure long skirt and a one-color blouse, pulled up half of her hair and coiled it behind her head, half of the green silk poured on her shoulders like a waterfall, picked up the magnolia hairpin on the table, and lightly embellished it in her hair.

Zhu Lian couldn't help but praise, "Miss's good looks are beautiful no matter how you look at them." ”

Xia Mengning put on a lotus-colored cardigan coat outside, looked at it carefully, and then took out a pair of white beaded earrings from the box and put them on.

Zhu Lian asked, "Miss, should we go too?" ”

Xia Mengning smiled, "Rushing to go is to surrender your identity, then Xia Mengxi is still in the period of confinement, the Fang clan must have forgotten this stubble, let's just wait here, it is not too late for someone to pass it on and go again." Xia Mengning sat on the embroidery stool on the side, she was gambling, betting that the eldest Sun Yun had a good impression of her.
