"Sister Lan is not that kind of person."

Zhou Li'er sneered: "What kind of person do you think she is?" The reason why she is obedient to you and courteous in everything is just to get close to the imperial grandmother...... Let me tell you, she's a complete snob. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Youning couldn't hold back any longer, stood up and said, "I don't want to listen to my sister's nonsense anymore, I'm going back." After speaking, he put the brocade box back on the table: "This gift, sister should keep it." ”

Zhou Li'er saw her resolute attitude, and she was even more angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to be angry at her.

Hmph, what an out-and-out stupid girl! It's strange, what kind of ecstasy soup did Meng Xilan's girl pour into her to make her believe her so desperately......

Zhou Li'er sat at the table, frowning and sullen.

Dou'er, the maid beside her, stepped forward and said, "Why should the master hurt his mind so much for an insignificant person." Now that you have lived in Cining Palace, it is better to spend more time to please the Queen Mother, it is the most important thing. ”

Zhou Li'er glared at her: "She made me so ugly, how can I let her go easily!" Every day when I see her, I can't wait to tear her face apart with my own hands! ”

"But...... The slave maid heard that Meng Xilan not only had a deep friendship with Her Royal Highness the Princess, but even the Queen Mother liked her very much...... Come to think of it, she is also a scheming. Master, let's take a long-term view. ”

But anyone who has served Zhou Li'er knows how bad her impulsive and willful nature is. Last time, she had already begged for a scolding in front of the emperor, and this time if she messed around by herself, I was afraid that she would make a bigger basket together.

"It's useless, I've been raising you for so many years, and I can't even think of a way to make me angry." Zhou Li'er was angry and had nowhere to say, so she counted the minions around her again.

She didn't believe it, she couldn't clean up a civilian girl with a county lord.

…

At the same time, Meng Xilan was accompanying the Queen Mother to offer incense in front of the Buddha.

"Li'er, did she have a hard time for you yesterday?" The Queen Mother asked lightly, obviously hearing about the festival between the two people.

Meng Xilan was silent for a few seconds before replying: "No, it's just that His Royal Highness the county lord doesn't seem to like me very much." ”

"She's a spoiled child, occasionally a little wayward, but not bad-hearted. In the future, when you get along for a long time, she will gradually like you. ”

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes when she heard this, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. "That's what the mother said."

After walking out of the Buddhist hall, Meng Xilan reached out and grabbed the folds on her skirt, feeling slightly irritable.

Everyone seemed to be persuading her, but it was clear that Zhou Li'er was the most dangerous and the most prone to making mistakes.

Seeing this, Zhulu hurriedly bent down to help her.

When she went back, Meng Xilan found that Zhou Youning was sitting in her room eating tea, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "The princess came back so early." ”

Zhou Youning weakly "en".

Meng Xilan saw that she was a little unhappy, and deliberately asked, "What gift did she prepare for you, County Lord?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just something flashy and useless, so I didn't take it."

Zhou Youning hesitated a little in her heart, thinking about whether to tell her what Zhou Li'er said, but she really couldn't open her mouth.

When Meng Xilan saw that she confiscated it, she already understood it in her heart.

"Zhulu, go and heat up the red date glutinous rice soup and bring it to the princess to taste."

Zhou Lier likes to eat sweets, and eating sweets can make her mood better.

Zhou Youning saw that she didn't ask any more questions, so he felt that he didn't say anything more, so as not to embarrass her.

The two of them drank the hot glutinous rice soup together, and after that, Meng Xilan sent Zhou Youning back to the room and slept with her before leaving.

Gao Fuli ran around the palace for most of the day, just to find out the news. Although I was tired enough, I gained a lot. In addition to the things that Meng Xilan explained to him, there were many new things that attracted his attention.

Meng Xilan asked Zhulu to show him a seat for the first time, poured tea, and asked him to speak slowly.

Gao Fuli was flattered, but he didn't dare to delay, and told the details: "The slave inquired about three major events, the first thing was the marriage of the county lord of Anning. It turned out that Prince Rong's favorite son-in-law this time was Song Wending, the little marquis of Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion. ”

As soon as she heard the words "Weiyuan Marquis Mansion", Meng Xilan unconsciously sat up slightly.

I see...... Zhou Shirao was originally from the royal family, and when he thought about it, the person who could let him see it in his eyes must be extraordinary.

The Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion is the first of the four famous families in the capital, but it has declined slightly in the past two years. The ancestors were the heroes of the founding of the country, and there were many talents from generation to generation, and there was no one in the court in terms of merit and status. The old marquis, who is now the master of the house, also made great achievements when he was young. It's just that he has a strong temperament and often admonishes boldly in the court. At the beginning, when the prince was impeached, the old marquis played for three consecutive days, and the prince was mediocre and incompetent, which gave the emperor a headache.

Meng Xilan thought about it again in her mind, the old marquis is a conservative, opposes the crown prince, and supports the lineage, so the third prince Zhou You'an he supports.

Prince Rong...... Wei Yuanhou ...... I'm afraid this family business can't be done.

Gao Fuli saw that his master looked pensive, and lowered his head to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat. "In addition to this incident, the servant also inquired that recently, during this time, King Wenjun often went in and out of the prince's Mingde Palace, and it is said that he was playing chess with the prince......"

"Oh?" Meng Xilan frowned, suspicious in her heart.

Playing chess...... How is that possible? No wonder, Zhou Shili has rarely been seen in the Empress Dowager's palace recently, it turns out that he ran to the prince and stammered. But that's not quite right. It stands to reason that Zhou Shili will please Zhou Youlin.

Meng Xilan rubbed her eyebrows, and a bad premonition appeared in her heart.

Zhou Shili will never be good to a person for no reason, there must be some intentions hidden in this, even a conspiracy.

Gao Fuli could see that Meng Xilan's face changed instantly when she heard this, but he didn't know, was she because of the prince or because of King Wenjun?

"Xiao Lizi, over there in Mingde Palace, you can go over and inquire more in the future."

Meng Xilan had no choice but to be concerned about this matter.

"Yes, the slave knows."

"What's the matter, you go on."

"The last thing...... Actually, it's not a big deal, but it has something to do with the Changqing Palace. The slave pondered, and the master might want to hear it. ”

There have been too many things that have happened recently, and Meng Xilan didn't think of Zhou Youchen's child anymore, but the pimple in her heart was still there. It's just that the cold palace is cold, what else can happen?

"Don't sell it, just say it." Zhu Lu saw that Gao Fu was struggling, and pinched him.

Gao Fuli swallowed: "Recently, the Changqing Palace has become more and more haunted at night...... This trouble, there are a lot of rumors in the palace. Everyone is privately saying that the reason why the Changqing Palace is haunted is because Concubine Xiao's soul has returned with a grudge and wants to seek revenge on the person who killed her back then! ”
