What love, what grievances, what love is deep and long...... Now it seems that it is just a joke.

Zhou Youchen's suspicion and Chu Jingchuan's betrayal have already hurt her whole person and her whole heart for so many years.

Meng Xilan hadn't dressed up so carefully for a long time.

Delicate makeup can hide her tiredness, but it can't hide her ambition.

Gao Fuli saw that his master's eyes were focused and impliedly ruthless, so he took a deep breath and said, "Niangniang, the Rong family has returned to the school, and Her Royal Highness the little princess has returned to the palace to settle down." Her Royal Highness the princess is in good health and all is well. ”

No matter how mad Chu Jingchuan is, he will not be embarrassed for a child. Moreover, for Zhou Youchen, the sister is not very important.

From her birth to the present, Zhou Youchen has hardly hugged her properly.

When my sister returned to the palace, Song Qing'er felt at ease.

For the rest of their lives, their mother and daughter naturally came to Meng Xilan to thank her.

If it weren't for Meng Xilan's planning in the palace, my sister would definitely not be able to survive.

Song Qing'er came to Cining Palace and saw Meng Xilan, who had exquisite makeup, and was slightly stunned.

Niangniang usually shows people in plain clothes, and rarely dresses up so ceremoniously.

"Sister, go and kowtow to the queen."

The girl is a little thinner than before, with a small face with a big palm and a thin and pointed chin.

Meng Xilan stretched out her hand, smiled gently, and said, "Let this palace take a look." ”

The younger sister walked over obediently and meekly, Meng Xilan stroked her little shoulder, looked at her big flickering eyes and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid, everything will be fine when you come back." ”

She lived in Chu's house for half a month, and Wuwu would definitely send someone to take care of her.

"Mother, my sister doesn't want to live outside anymore."

The child doesn't understand the changes in the palace, she just wants to stay by her mother's side.

Meng Xilan nodded, stretched out her fingers and hooked with her.

"Okay, I promise you."

Song Qing'er listened to these words, her eyes were red, and she faintly wanted to cry.

"It's not too peaceful in the palace now, you take good care of your sister, and don't forget to help the palace."

Song Qing'er is now obedient to Meng Xilan, just because she protected her sister when she was in the most critical situation.

At that time when no one could count on it, only Meng Xilan could do her best to find a glimmer of life for their mother and daughter.

"Niangniang, dress up today, is there anything important?"

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly when she heard this, and only said, "What other good things can be in this palace?" The palace just doesn't want to live a lonely life, the emperor is back, as a concubine, we should dress him up. ”

When Song Qing'er heard this, her eyes sank for some reason, as if she had something on her mind.

Meng Xilan held her sister's little hand, stroked it gently, and then said to Baozhu: "Didn't you make some white sugar cakes today?" Get some for the princess......"

There are still some things to say between her and Song Qing'er, and it is better for her not to listen.

Song Qing'er nodded in acquiescence to her daughter, and when she saw her bouncing away with the jewel, she didn't bow her head, and said in a melancholy tone: "Niangniang, the concubine will tell you the truth." The concubines are now disheartened with the emperor. ”

When the capital was under siege, Song Qing'er's maiden home was ransacked by mobs. And her father, because of his opposition to Chu Jingchuan, was imprisoned for three whole months, so that now he is sick and very hard.

She had a hurried meeting with her mother, who said that the situation at home was very bad, and her father's illness made it difficult for him to return to the court as an official.

In just half a year, their peaceful days were all ruined. At this time, recalling those torturous days, Song Qing'er was angry and resentful in her heart, she was angry with Chu Jingchuan, and she was angry with the emperor.

Meng Xilan took a sip of tea lightly and raised her eyes to look at her: "Disheartened...... This palace still thinks that you and the emperor have the same thoughts, and they both think that it is the fault of this palace. ”

Song Qing'er was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then shook her head in disbelief and said, "How can this kind of thing be blamed on your head?" ”

Meng Xilan put down the teacup: "The person who rebelled is Chu Jingchuan." And this palace has always been inseparable from him. ”

Song Qing'er still shook her head: "The concubine doesn't think so. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "You can do this, this palace is really pleased." ”

Song Qing'er stood up when she heard this: "Niangniang, the concubine's loyalty to you will not change. ”

She looked serious, and seemed to be more than just talking.

Meng Xilan looked at her fixedly: "What this palace needs most now is loyal people." Now that there are less than half of the Chinese Wu Baichen left, the change of the previous dynasty is bound to disturb the harem. The palace is in this position of the queen, and it is already in danger, and I am afraid that it will be more troublesome in the future. ”

The former dynasty and the back * palace have always been a relationship of mutual involvement and mutual checks and balances.

The emperor has favored Meng Xilan for many years, which is her luck and her misfortune.

"Niangniang, the twists and turns haven't passed yet, the emperor won't suddenly choose a concubine, right?"

Meng Xilan only felt that she was still smart, and she could actually think of this.

"The emperor is employing people, in order to win over the ministers, enriching the harem is the best way. Turning "outsiders" into "one's own" is something that everyone is willing to do. ”

Meng Xilan said this, paused slightly, and said: "Besides, the emperor's heirs are thin......

Song Qing'er's heart was racing when she heard this, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Meng Xilan actually thought of this step, was she worried about herself, or was she worried about herself?

"Now, the crown prince is everything in this palace."

Song Qing'er heard this and sighed softly, "Yes, as a woman, the most important thing in her heart is her child." ”

Meng Xilan looked at her with a faint gaze: "You are willing to be loyal to the palace, and when your sister grows up, the palace will never treat her badly." ”

A daughter is the hope of her life, and fulfilling her sister is equivalent to fulfilling her.

After Meng Xilan said this, her eyes stayed on Song Qing'er's body, and when she saw her nodding heavily, she smiled slightly.

…

The crown prince has been away from Beijing for a month.

When Meng Xilan learned that Zhou Youchen sent him to Yongzhou, she was slightly relieved.

He is not in the capital, at least he is safe.

However, now that the situation in the capital has stabilized, what she hopes most is that the prince will come back as soon as possible.

She is not the only one who is also anxious.

After Shen Dan returned to the palace, he went to the city gate at dawn every day to wait for news.

Every day from dawn until dark.

Meng Xilan sent the little palace maid to bring her back, she would be obedient, but the next morning, she still went as usual.

Gao Welfare obviously has a lot of criticism about what she did.

"Niangniang, this Shen Dan is young, he won't have such scheming, right?"

Meng Xilan thought for a moment when she heard this and said, "Although she doesn't have any scheming, she has always had a lot of ideas. ”

To put it bluntly, she always knew what she wanted, and she was straightforward and undisguised.

Meng Xilan has always liked such people. After all, a real villain is better than a hypocrite.

Gao Fuli said to Meng Xilan: "Niangniang, Shen Dan is from a humble background. Isn't it inappropriate to leave her with the prince? ”

He was very vigilant, and he always did this to people and things.

Meng Xilan was looking at the nails she had just painted, and lowered her eyes slightly: "Bengong never cares about her background, she took a fancy to her because she is a person who can see the bottom at a glance." The prince is older, and the palace can't always manage him, so the people around him must rest assured. ”

Gao Fuli obviously has something to say: "Niangniang, a woman's jealousy is often the most harmful." Back then, Niangniang monopolized the emperor's favor, how did the women in the palace who were jealous of you make things bad behind your back? ”

Women are sometimes even more terrible than men.

"According to His Highness's age, it is a matter of time before he is married. When the prince has someone else by his side, what will happen to Shen Dan? I'm afraid I'm going to be jealous and crazy. ”

Meng Xilan glanced at him: "She knows her position." Hongu had reminded him more than once that the moment she didn't know what to do and wanted to cross the line, she would leave the prince's side forever. Nothing good ends for greedy people, she knows. ”

Gao Fuli saw that his master was full of confidence, so he stopped talking.

"Wait a minute, you bring Shen Dan over."

Suddenly, Gao Welfare brought the listless Shen Dan to his mother.

"Look, look, such a lovely man, he actually ruined himself like this." Meng Xilan looked at her and shook her head slightly.

Shen Dan saluted in a regular manner: "The slave is out of shape, please punish the mother." ”

Meng Xilan raised her hand and motioned for her to stand up.

"You don't have to be so restrained in front of this palace."

Shen Dan stood with his hands down, keeping his head down, looking at his toes.

"Niangniang, is there any news from His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Meng Xilan glanced at her and said, "I heard that he is already on his way back to Beijing." ”

Shen Dan raised his head in surprise when he heard this, his eyes flashed.

"Great, that's great."

Her excitement was palpable, and the gloom on her face was instantly swept away.

Judging from her expression, she really cares about the prince and cares about him more than herself.

"When the prince comes back, it is estimated that the emperor will have to worry about his marriage." Meng Xilan had no intention of making her sad, but just informed her in advance of what was about to happen.

Marriage...... The smile on Shen Dan's face stiffened slightly, and he nodded unnaturally: "This is a good thing......

Meng Xilan looked at her and bit her lower lip lightly, and said, "The reason why this palace told you in advance is to let you prepare early. The crown prince will soon be accompanied by a new person, you have to keep your eyes open and always be vigilant, you know? ”

Shen Dan was shocked when he heard this, but he was still puzzled.

"Niangniang means ......"

Meng Xilan said with a serious face: "The selection of the crown princess is related to the country. Hongu didn't want the prince to become someone else's pawn. ”

Shen Dan heard this and understood a little.

Meng Xilan continued to provoke: "Remember, no matter how many more women there are by the prince's side in the future, you will be the most trusted one in this palace!" ”
