He laughed, but the girl was still scared.

Zhou Tianyou lowered his head a little embarrassed, then looked up at Meng Xilan and said, "Queen Mother, it's better not to scare your sister." ”

When he had said this, he put the cloth back on.

Meng Xilan looked at him and said, "You'er, you go to the study to warm up your books." ”

Zhou Tianyou got up and saluted respectfully, and left lonely.

Seeing him leave lonely, Meng Xilan shook her head slightly and sighed softly.

Seeing this, Song Qing'er pondered and said, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is so sullen all day long, it is easy to get sick. ”

His personality is withdrawn enough. Meng Xilan treated him well, if it was someone else, he would have been thrown aside a long time ago, and he would have been ignored.

Meng Xilan didn't want to talk too much about Zhou Tianyou with her, so she just picked up her sister and teased her, and then asked her, "Are you coming here today to accompany the palace to relieve boredom, or do you have something to say?" ”

Song Qing'er lowered her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on her face. "The concubine has something to say."

Meng Xilan saw that her face had changed, so she smiled at her sister, handed her to Jade and said, "You take the princess to the county lord and play with them for a while." ”

"Yes......" Jade knelt down and took her sister.

Meng Xilan looked at Song Qing'er and said, "If you have something to say, don't go around the bend with this palace." ”

Song Qing'er smiled slightly, and lowered her head again: "The concubine doesn't dare to sell Guan Zi in front of her mother." In fact, it is a matter in the palace of the concubine, there is a Liu beauty in the palace of the concubine, she is a little unwell today, and the concubine thinks that she may be pregnant. ”

That Liu Meiren didn't think there was anything herself, but Song Qing'er was from here. She only slept twice before she could conceive a child, and she probably didn't expect it herself.

She didn't directly invite the imperial doctor over, but just came to tell Meng Xilan first.

Meng Xilan raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this: "Really?" Before the doctor was diagnosed, we were just speculating. ”

Song Qing'er bit her lip and said hesitantly: "The concubine wants to ask the mother, if Liu Meiren is really pregnant, should this child stay." ”

To put it bluntly, if Meng Xilan can't tolerate this child, this child may not be born safely.

Meng Xilan heard her words, frowned and said, "What? Do you think this palace can't accommodate that child? ”

Song Qing'er's eyes rolled, and she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, the concubine doesn't dare to speculate on what Niangniang means." The concubine just hopes that Niangniang can get an idea for Liu Meiren......"

Meng Xilan groaned and said, "Ming'er will ask the imperial doctor to come over for diagnosis and take a look." If it's true, it's a happy event. ”

Wedding...... When Song Qing'er heard this, she thought: She doesn't mind saying this. It's just that she is so breezy and calm, I don't know if it's true or false?

"Niangniang's orders, the concubines have all written down." Song Qing'er reacted quickly and hurriedly curtsied.

"This Liu beauty, why don't you have any impression in this palace."

Meng Xilan asked lightly.

Song Qing'er replied with a smile: "She was originally a maiko of Xianle Pavilion, with outstanding dancing skills and delicate people. She danced in front of the emperor and won the emperor's favor. The emperor pampered her twice, and then named her a beauty. ”

Speaking of which, that's exactly what happened recently. However, because Meng Xilan was unhappy and had been sick, she didn't care much.

Meng Xilan really didn't care much, she didn't have the slightest interest in who Zhou Youchen pampered.

The women in this harem are all his, so naturally they all follow his liking.

But this willow beauty, since she is favored and entitled, why don't you come to the queen mother to ask for thanksgiving. It's because you don't understand the rules, or you're arrogant.

"Ming'er, you bring her and let the palace take a look." Meng Xilan took the tea bowl and took a sip gently.

Song Qing'er nodded when she heard this.

She should meet that woman, although she is not a great beauty, but the shy and nervous temperament that sheds tears at every turn is indeed special enough.

After Song Qing'er left, Meng Xilan called Xiao Chunzi for questioning.

"Do you know that the emperor favors the newcomer?"

Xiao Chunzi lowered her head: "The slave knows." ”

"Do you know why you didn't say it? Don't report? ”

"The slave doesn't want to make the mother upset." Xiao Chunzi didn't deliberately hide it, but recently her mother has been unwell, and she spends more time alone. Moreover, she is often in a trance, looking out the window, alone in a daze.

He has been following his master for more than ten years, and he knows his master's temperament very well.

If she hadn't been extremely sad, she wouldn't have looked like this.

Meng Xilan sighed slightly: "What this palace should know, there is no need to hide it in the future." ”

She didn't blame him, and it wasn't a big deal anyway.

After Song Qing'er returned to the palace, she called Liu Meiren to advise.

"Ming'er, you have to go with this palace to say hello to the queen. You have to be prepared. ”

Liu Meiren hung her face and nodded slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Her skin is fair and transparent, the lines of her neck are slender and slender, and her gestures are a bit of a girl's unique restraint and shyness.

Seeing her like this, Song Qing'er couldn't help but shake her head: "This palace is talking to you, why don't you even agree." ”

Hearing this, Liu Meiren raised her head and glanced at her: "The slave is stupid and can't speak." ”

Song Qing'er stroked her forehead with one hand: "You look like this, how can you please the queen's mother?" ”

Liu Meiren's eyes were red when she heard this, and her tone was choked: "The slave is stupid, and I ask the mother for advice." ”

Before she could say anything serious, she was about to cry again.

Song Qing'er widened her eyes, looking at the tears that slipped from the corners of her eyes, her heart was depressed, and she couldn't get angry even if she wanted to.

"What are you...... What did Hongu do to you? ”

Liu Meiren shook her head with tears, took out a handkerchief and wiped her face: "Niangniang has always been very good to slaves. ”

"Then what are you crying about?" Song Qing'er asked her softly: "You cry and cry all day long, people who don't know, think that this palace is bullying you." ”

When Liu Meiren heard this, she hurriedly held back her tears and choked up: "The slave is just afraid, afraid that the queen will not like herself." ”

"Who would like you when they see you?" Song Qing'er said mercilessly: "Wait until tomorrow, if you dare to be in front of the queen mother, so unruly, you will really die!" ”

Meng Xilan likes obedient and honest people the most, and whoever is loyal to her, she will be good to whomever she is.

Liu Meiren was so frightened by her that her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Song Qing'er felt annoyed when she saw it, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you can do it yourself." ”

She really didn't bother to care about her.

At noon the next day, Song Qing'er came over with Liu Meiren to greet Meng Xilan.

Liu Meiren entered the palace as a palace slave and never had the opportunity to see the true face of the queen's mother.

However, she had heard a lot of rumors. It is said that she is a woman with a more vicious heart than a femme fatale. Some people say that she is a peerless beauty, with outstanding appearance, and she is captivating the country and the city.

Meng Xilan looked at this newcomer carefully, she was only fourteen or fifteen years old, weak and immature.

"Come closer, raise your head and let Hongu take a good look."

Liu Meiren stepped forward step by step, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Slave Liu Nan, knock on the queen's mother, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

She was born as a palace slave, and now as a beauty, she still calls herself a slave.

"Look up." Meng Xilan's voice was gentle.

Liu Nan raised his head, his eyes looked timidly, his cheeks flushed, and his lips pursed.

What a wonderful person.

Meng Xilan smiled slightly, raised her hand and motioned for her to get up and speak: "These days, the palace is not happy, I didn't expect the emperor to have such a good sister by his side." ”

Liu Nan's face turned even redder when he heard this, his hands were twisted in front of him, and his face was full of uneasiness.

Looking at her appearance, there is no city.

However, whether she is good or bad is not something that can be clearly distinguished by the naked eye.

Meng Xilan ordered the palace maid to serve refreshments, but Liu Nan did not shy away from it, and directly picked up the tea bowl to drink.

Meng Xilan glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Wait......"

She deliberately looked at Liu Nan and said, "I heard that my sister has not been very comfortable in the past two days, and I am afraid that this strong tea will not be able to drink." ”

"Jade, let's get her some flower tea."

Liu Nan was a little flattered when he heard this, and hurriedly got up to thank him.

"How many times has my sister been in bed?"

Meng Xilan suddenly asked, which made Liu Nan slightly startled, and couldn't help but snort softly. "Huh?"

Song Qing'er raised her eyes and glanced at the two, then put down the tea bowl and waited quietly to watch the play.

"You don't have to be shy in front of this palace, let's be honest." Meng Xilan asked her in the tone of a person who had come over.

Liu Nan's cheeks were flushed, and he stretched out two fingers and said, "Hui Niangniang, the slave and maid have served the emperor twice, only twice......

It was all last month.

The emperor once said to her that she was very good and quiet.

She also thought that the emperor liked her very much, but why, after such a long time, the emperor never favored her again and ignored her.

Meng Xilan was silent for a moment, and then called Jade to him: "You go to the Tai Hospital, please come over." ”

Jade nodded yes and hurried away.

Liu Nan was a little at a loss, she had no idea in her heart, turned her head to look at Song Qing'er, and cast a look at her for help.

Song Qing'er obviously saw it, but deliberately avoided her gaze, lowered her head and adjusted her cuffs, and did not respond.

According to Meng Xilan's meaning, she should have asked for a doctor first, but she still kept an eye on it.

This matter is still Meng Xilan's own decision.

After a while, Jiao Changqing hurried over, and when he saw that Meng Xilan was so lively around him, and there was a woman who looked like a newcomer, he vaguely understood something.

"Master, this is Liu Meiren, a newcomer by the emperor's side." Meng Xilan opened her mouth lightly and introduced a word.

Jiao Changqing bowed his hand: "Weichen greets the little master." ”

Liu Nan has not been in the palace for a long time, and he has never seen Jiao Changqing. To be precise, except for the emperor, she has never seen other men in this palace.

Jiao Changqing has a handsome appearance, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle bookish air on his body.

Liu Nan couldn't help but look slightly stunned, and almost forgot to return the salute: "Imperial Doctor Jiao...... Please. ”

Meng Xilan saw her appearance and smiled secretly in her heart.

Sure enough, he is a newcomer who has never seen the world, and his heart is written on his face.

"Please take a look at the master for her, is there a big problem with her body?"

Jiao Changqing has always been obedient to Meng Xilan. He stepped forward calmly, took out a pulse pillow handkerchief, knelt on one knee, and took the pulse for Liu Nan.

Liu Nan turned sideways a little awkwardly, not daring to look at his face again. She pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, I don't know what the queen mother means? I don't know what this Jiao Changqing is diagnosing for? She's obviously not sick......

The look on Jiao Changqing's face was as calm as a mirror, he just glanced at Liu Nan coldly, and then got up and replied: "Congratulations to Niangniang, congratulations to the little master." ”

This sentence of "congratulations" made Meng Xilan squint her eyes slightly, her eyes slowly sank, and then regained their clarity, and said with a smile: "This is very good, there has not been such a happy event in the palace for a long time." ”
