Mrs. Meng was already urging her to get in the car quickly, but it was too late. She walked towards the carriage and only threw a sentence to Meng Shuyu: "She is not my maid, she is Mrs. Jinghong." ”

Meng Shuyu didn't react at first, but when Mrs. Meng and Bai Heran's carriage had already left first, and Master Meng was also urging him to get into the car, he suddenly became surprised. It's just that suddenly, the whole person seems to have been suddenly fixed, and he was frozen in place all of a sudden, and he couldn't move his steps anymore, no matter how Master Meng shouted, he couldn't call him.

Master Meng had no choice but to get out of the carriage and walk in front of him, frowning and asking in a low voice, "What are you doing?" As he spoke, he glanced in the direction where Mrs. Meng's carriage was going, he saw it just now, and Bai Heran said a word before leaving.

"Father, you said that we want to avenge my sister, and she is kind enough to help. Or does she want to do something herself, and we just make a bridge? Meng Shuyu looked at his father and asked in a low voice.

Master Meng frowned when he heard this, and asked Meng Shuyu rhetorically, "No matter which one it is, is the person you are ultimately pointing at our enemy?" If so, is it us taking the initiative or they are taking the initiative, and what's the difference? Do you think that with only our Meng family, you can really take revenge on your sister? He raised his hand to rub his face, "Shuyu, your sister died at the hands of the king, and the root cause of all this is that my father had discussed marriage with a county lord many years ago......

Bai He didn't know that in the car behind, Master Meng told Meng Shuyu about the things with Chun Yulan back then. She only knew that Mrs. Meng kept telling her over and over again: "After entering the palace, you must follow me closely, you can't run around, don't look around, and you can't talk to people casually." If someone asks you something, you can avoid it, and if you can't avoid it, you can answer vaguely, in short, you have to keep an eye on everything, and don't say too much to those people. I will see your aunt and grandmother for a while, you just kowtow to celebrate your birthday, and don't care about anything else, if she asks you what her own mother will answer for you, you just listen. ”

She nodded, everything was according to Mrs. Meng's.

When I got off the carriage, I heard a lady and a lady chatting together, saying: "Your concubine is really a good blessing, every year on her birthday, His Majesty the monarch will inevitably hold a palace banquet, just to make her happy, in order to make her old man happy." ”

"But is the concubine really happy?" Someone questioned this, "I wasn't too happy to see the concubine at the birthday banquet last year, so I only sat for a while and left." Later, he said that he was not in good health and tired, so he went back to rest first. But it is said that after going back, he called Princess Luo An and the county lord of Guangping to the Anning Palace for a banquet, and the concubine laughed heartily during the banquet, which was really happy. ”

Someone sighed, "In the end, the biological is different from the parental, Princess Luo An is the biological daughter of the noble concubine, it is the meat that fell from the body, it must be painful from the heart to the outside." It's just a princess who was born because of this, if it was a prince back then, I'm afraid there would be no such scene now. ”

"That's not a good thing to say." Someone reminded, "There are many people, and if it spreads, it will cause a catastrophe." ”

But the person who said this didn't realize it, and he didn't care, but said more vigorously: "Disaster? Oh, sending Yue'er to the palace back then was the biggest disaster, could there be any greater disaster than this? The daughter I gave birth to with great difficulty, the daughter I raised in my heart for seventeen years like a baby, I happily sent her into the palace, thinking that with her appearance and family background, even if she does not fight for the first place in the harem, at least she will be one of the four concubines. The result? One of the four concubines got it, and the prince also gave birth, but who would have thought that he would not ...... this child at all"

At this point, her mouth was covered by the maid standing beside her. The maid covered her wife's mouth and said to several ladies and ladies around her: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, my wife has been in poor health recently, and she had a fever yesterday. ”

The maid is really anxious, today is a palace banquet, it is a palace banquet held by His Majesty the monarch for the concubine, and the people who come and go are some Wang people in Beijing, in case this word is spread out, and then it reaches the ears of His Majesty the monarch, their family will be finished.

But how can anyone who hears it not go to his heart? Such words are too sensitive, and those who don't take it to heart are fools.

However, people also comforted: "Don't worry, even if it spreads, it won't be good, this is not Mrs. Sun alone, now the streets and alleys of Beijing are spreading, and Mrs. Sun can't be found." The man sighed as he spoke, "Alas, I also have a daughter in my family who was sent to the palace, although she is just a concubine, but the concubine is also a member of our Wu family, if something really happens, you can't get out of it." ”

When she said this, several other people also wilted.

The Wang clan in Beijing, the home of the courtiers, unless there is really no daughter in the family, almost every family has a daughter who is sent to the palace. As for whether it is a concubine or a beauty, in addition to looking at the family background, it mainly depends on the individual's creation.

This is done in order to appease the ministers, and to contain the ministers. The court and the harem are not separated, and this method has been used in every dynasty and generation throughout the ages, and no one thinks it is inappropriate. It's just that this dynasty is different, and since every batch of beauty pageants entered the palace after the monarch ascended the throne, it made people feel different from before.

At first, this feeling was not obvious, or even if people had speculation in their hearts, they didn't dare to say anything, after all, there was no real evidence, just because there were always concubines in the harem who died, or there were always concubines who were crazy and went to reason with the monarch, it was obviously looking for death.

After all, people only have one sentence "This harem is jealous and makes more trouble", which can send them away, your own daughter Gong Dou can't fight others, what else is there to say?

But now it's different, the rumors about the inhumanity of the monarch and the children of the harem are all born to their fathers have spread throughout Fengxiang City, how can they not mind, how can they not be excited?

Especially those who have already died in their daughters, they have already been gearing up in private, and they will wait for this palace banquet to ask the monarch about everything. Even many families were worried that one side was small, so several families united in one place, just waiting for the palace banquet to be difficult on the spot.

"You say, this palace banquet won't cause a big incident?" A lady was worried, "I'm not attacking everyone, nor am I saying cool things, although my lord has never given birth to a daughter, so no daughter was sent to the palace, but my son disappeared three years ago." She kept her voice very low, especially when she saw the Meng family's carriage stop, and after Mrs. Meng got out of the carriage, her voice was even lowered. Someone has said before that my son looks a little like the monarch when he was young, especially his eyes, and he doesn't bend when he smiles, he looks like the monarch. I never like to hear such words, sons are like parents, how can they be like others. But there are always some coincidences in the world, and there are many people who come and go, and I think there are some similarities. It wasn't until he disappeared three years ago that my lord and I thought of rumors about my father. ”

This lady's voice was so low that Mrs. Meng couldn't hear it at all, it was Bai Heran, and she also read the content by reading her lips. She looked closely at the lady, and soon saw a hint of determination in the lady's gaze.

"My son is the meat of my heart, and I only have one son, who is the son-in-law of the house. If he can't find it, this family business will have to be handed over to his concubine in the future, how can I be willing? You say, will there be any connection between my son's disappearance and what happened to your daughter? If it's the same thing, then can we join forces and ask the king for an explanation? ”

Several ladies beside him nodded in unison, "Of course, we must join forces, whether it is a son or a daughter, if we want to see people in life or in death, we must see corpses, and the monarch must give us an explanation." ”

A young lady was timid, and when she heard these words on the side, she trembled with fright, and immediately whispered: "But I heard that the king is very cruel, and he kills without blinking, and no matter what the identity of the person who was killed, haven't you heard that there is a matter of beheading courtiers in the court?" ”

"So what?" Her mother turned her head to look at her, "Son, you are fourteen years old, and in another year you will be in the palace, and then you will be a beauty and sent to the palace to run for election." If you can't choose, it's okay, if you choose, you will follow your sister's old path in the future. My mother has already put your sister in, and she must not take another of you. So today, even if there is a big risk, my mother has to give it a try. After speaking, she went to look at the maid who was still covering her wife's mouth, "Okay, put your hands down, don't be afraid, don't let us think like this, among the guests at today's banquet, there is a good chance that they are planning to do so." ”

The maid timidly put her hand down, and her wife let out a sigh of relief, and when she turned her head, she saw Mrs. Meng coming over with the support of a strange girl, so she hurriedly beckoned: "Sister Ying, why are you here, come here." ”

Mrs. Meng's maiden name is Lu Ying, and after marrying Meng Wencheng, she will be referred to as Mrs. Meng to the outside world. But the boudoir sisters who are good friends will still call the boudoir name. At this moment, she heard someone calling her, Mrs. Meng looked at it for a while and then smiled, "It's a girl in Huashang, why are you standing here?" Since you arrive early, go to the palace early! What is the cold wind blowing here? ”

The lady smiled and took two steps forward, "We also happened to meet, so let's talk." After speaking, he glanced at Bai Heran with a single glance, and felt a little familiar at this glance, "This is ......"
