Chapter 43: Some People Rejoice and Some Worry About It

Meng Xilan didn't know how Jiao Changqing replied to the Queen Mother, and she didn't want to ask more.

Most of the prescriptions that Jiao Changqing prescribed to her are some warm and nourishing medicinal materials, it doesn't hurt to eat more or less, and the smell is light, so it won't make the house smell of medicine.

Getting sick in the palace is a very shy thing to do.

Meng Xilan rested quietly for two days, and then regained her spirits. The Queen Mother saw that she was fine, full of energy, and was very relieved, and instructed Mama Kong to take care of her diet and daily life.

There are many things that are beyond her power, and Meng Xilan can only do what is in front of her first. She wrote a letter to Chu Jingwen herself, which was full of encouragement and hope for her. Even if there are great difficulties in front of you, don't give up easily, as long as you live, everything will still have a turn and hope.

Meng Xilan handed the written letter to Chu Jingchuan and asked him to take it back. The content of the letter is a little sensitive, and she can't trust others.

These days, the hearts of the Chu family seem to be covered with a thick cloud, depressed and heavy.

Chu Jingchuan was also in a bad mood, but he didn't forget to worry about Meng Xilan's hand injury.

Meng Xilan shook her head: "It doesn't matter to me. Quiet text she ...... How's it going? ”

She only hurt a little flesh and skin, but Chu Jingwen's wound was in her heart, and I am afraid it will be difficult to heal.

Chu Jingchuan frowned: "She seems to have figured it out a little." However, I still stuffed myself in my room all day, and I didn't come out or see anyone. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xilan clenched her hands slightly, and accidentally pulled the wound.

Chu Jingchuan sighed a little helplessly, and continued slowly: "The marriage is scheduled for the tenth day of the first month of next month, and when Jingwen enters the palace, you can see her often." ”

Meng Xilan nodded, and the sorrow in her heart was even stronger.

is so fast, it seems that the queen mother wishes that the prince would get married as soon as possible, start over, and get rid of the bad reputation in the past.

Two days later, a batch of fresh tribute fruits was sent outside the palace, the queen mother couldn't eat more with a cold stomach, and seeing that those things were just right, she ordered the palace people to organize a tea and fruit family banquet to entertain the concubines of the six palaces. On the surface, she hopes that everyone will get together and have a good time, but in fact, she wants to ease the recent tense atmosphere in the palace, and by the way, remind those who are restless, abide by the palace rules, and act cautiously.

The child in Li Jieyu's womb is less than two months old, if there is really a mistake, it is an innocent life.

"The older a person gets, the more he can't see the killing." When Meng Xilan accompanied the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha in the morning, she suddenly said such a sentence.

Meng Xilan listened quietly, thinking secretly in her heart. It seems that the Queen Mother has the intention to keep the child in Li Jieyu's womb.

The Queen Mother has been fasting and chanting Buddha for so long, but she is just trying to have a pure heart. The matter of the prince's choice of concubine has been decided, which can be regarded as a relief in her heart. No matter how far the prince can go this time, she has done her best.

However, the Queen Mother was enthusiastic, but everyone focused on Li Jieyu, guessing whether she would come?

I heard that after Li Jieyu became pregnant, she rarely left Qixia Palace to walk around. First, I am afraid that the tire will be unstable, and secondly, I am afraid that someone will calculate.

Meng Xilan hadn't seen the new Li Jieyu, and she didn't have any curiosity about her, she only heard that she was a beauty, from a poor background, but her personality was a little arrogant.

Coincidentally, the princess Xu, who has not appeared for more than half a month, happened to enter the palace today and caught up with this rare opportunity. Moreover, she was not alone, she also brought Zhou Li'er, who had been thinking about it behind closed doors for a long time.

On that day, after Zhou Li'er was trained by the emperor in front of her, she was hurriedly led back to the palace by her mother Xu.

Losing such a big face, Zhou Lier was naturally ashamed, and wanted to take revenge, but she never found a suitable opportunity.

Seeing Zhou Li'er's face, Meng Xilan sincerely felt bored from the bottom of her heart.

Her outfit today is decent, not as bright and flamboyant as before, and it seems that she knows how to restrain herself.

Meng Xilan shook her head secretly: Even if you change your appearance, what can you do? She's still her.

At this moment, Zhou Li'er was leaning in front of the Queen Mother, smiling and saying something interesting, which made the Queen Mother laugh.

Zhou Li'er saw that the Queen Mother was smiling happily, gently grabbed her sleeve and continued: "Imperial grandmother, do you like the joke Li'er told just now? ”

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile.

When Zhou Li'er heard this, her eyes turned slightly, and she turned around Meng Xilan's body, her gaze was very unkind.

Meng Xilan pinched the handkerchief in her hand, her expression was lukewarm, she saluted her, and gave her a cold look in return.

Queen Su came the earliest, and Concubine Ning Murong Qiao came the latest, thinking that everyone had already arrived.

Just as he was about to start the banquet, Gonggong Lu suddenly walked in, raised the dust in his hand, and said, "Li Jieyu Niangniang is ......."

As soon as these words came out, the hall that was originally full of laughter and laughter instantly fell silent.

Everyone's eyes gathered at the door, including Meng Xilan. Looking up, I saw a tall woman wearing a snow fox cloak, walking slowly.

She didn't take off the velvet hat from her cloak, so she couldn't see her face for a while.

Li Jieyu walked very slowly, almost step by step to the Queen Mother, took off her velvet hat with one hand, held the palace maid's arm with the other, and knelt on the ground: "The concubine asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye." The concubine suddenly felt unwell, so she delayed for a while and asked the mother to atone for her sins. ”

After the snow-white velvet hat was taken off, a white jade-like face was revealed, her facial features were not exquisite, but they were very charming, especially the pair of slender Danfeng eyes, which were unforgettable.

Seeing her face, Meng Xilan suddenly understood a little why she became the emperor's new favorite. There is never a shortage of beauties in the palace, but there are very few with personality, and she is one of them.

When the Queen Mother saw her, she slowly smiled, and her tone was slightly displeased: "Since it's uncomfortable, why do you have to force it over?" are already people with bodies, and they still don't know how to measure! ”

Li Jieyu said quietly: "What the Queen Mother taught her is that the concubine knows that she is wrong. ”

Seeing that she was so obedient, the Queen Mother allowed her to get up and asked the palace maid to show her a seat.

After Li Jieyu sat down, everyone resumed talking and laughing. However, it is said that happiness is music, but the emotions that cannot be hidden at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are all jealousy and contempt for Li Jieyu.

Li Jieyu was surprisingly quiet, just sitting there, eating fresh fruits, drinking warm tea, and ignoring anyone's gaze.

In addition to fresh fruit and tea, there are also a variety of pastries and snacks on the banquet table, which are slightly lighter, but also hearty.

Murong Qiao, who was not very happy in his heart, looked at these light and light foods, lost his appetite, and then got up and asked the Queen Mother: "Niangniang, it is rare for the sisters of the six palaces to gather together today, it is better to let the palace people serve thin wine and cheer everyone up." ”

The Queen Mother thought about it for a while, and then nodded.

The palace maids brought light and delicious glutinous rice wine, Murong Qiao looked at the cup that was poured, and then looked at Li Jieyu, who was low-eyed, and suddenly smiled and said, "This first cup will start from the palace." After speaking, he picked up the wine glass and first saluted the Queen Mother, "This cup, I wish the Queen Mother a healthy body." ”

When Zhou Youning heard this, he also picked up the cup and filled it up with the palace maid, and Meng Xilan hurriedly reminded in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you can't drink." ”

Zhou Youning blinked: "Just this cup, I'll taste it." ”

While no one was paying attention, she drank it all in one go.

After saluting the Queen Mother, Murong Qiao changed another cup to Li Jieyu: "My sister's pregnancy is a great joy." Therefore, this cup of wine in this palace is to my sister, and I wish my sister and her mother and son peace, and all their wishes come true. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but exchange glances.

Anyone can hear that she is saying the opposite.
