Zhou Shirao's face changed greatly when he heard this.

The events of that year, those who knew the inside story were basically silenced by him, and those who were restless were also cleaned up. But why? Why did Meng Xilan know?

"What nonsense!" Anyway, he subconsciously denied it immediately.

"This palace never talks nonsense, and it never wrongs good people. Although the prince has covered up the events of that year for many years, he has no choice but to have no eternal secrets in this world. Zhou Li'er secretly got along with someone who was a joke. The son of Changchun who was once famous in the capital. ”

Looking at his surprised and angry face, the smile on the corner of Meng Xilan's mouth deepened.

"Lord Wang, this palace is right."

Zhou Shirao's face turned blue in an instant, and the people behind him bowed their heads one after another, only to feel that they had heard something they shouldn't have heard.

Meng Xilan stared at Zhou Shipao with faint eyes, and when she saw his angry appearance, she only said, "What? Does the prince still need the palace to find evidence? ”

Evidence?!

Zhou Shirao's eyes widened and said, "Queen Mother, what evidence do you have?" ”

As if deliberately losing his appetite, Meng Xilan turned his back and said, "Lord Wang, if you want people to know it, you can't do it unless you don't know it." Back then, the prince of Chang Chun disappeared into the capital for no reason, and he must have nothing to do with you. ”

Zhou Shipao stared gloomily at her back, back then, he really wanted to get rid of that slut, however, he was a little late, and sent someone out to look for it, but he didn't find the whereabouts of the slut.

Meng Xilan, a woman, actually knows so much about it?

"What do you want, Queen? Is it to embarrass the king's daughter in this way to embarrass the king in front of his ministers? ”

Zhou Shirao really didn't want to continue to make a fool of himself in front of others, so he had to change the topic first.

"That's right, this palace really wants to embarrass the prince, just as the purpose of the prince is to accuse and despise his father. The prince didn't even take care of his own daughter, and he was still in the mood to talk nonsense about the palace! What a joke. ”

Meng Xilan glared at Zhou Shirao sharply, and said word by word: "Please apologize to the father of this palace!" ”

Zhou Sarao met her gaze, and his body couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

Her eyes looked terrifying.

Zhou Shirao looked at Meng Zhenglu and arched his hand, which could be regarded as an apology.

Meng Xilan stared at him: "Can the prince's etiquette only be like this?" ”

Zhou Shipao took a deep breath, and had no choice but to arch his hand to Meng Zhenglu again: "Lord Meng, Prime Minister Meng, this king is rude and reckless." ”

Meng Zhenglu accepted it when he saw it and returned him with a salute.

Meng Xilan retracted her gaze, looked at her father and said, "Father, this palace still has something to say to you, please move to Cining Palace." ”

"Obey orders!" Meng Zhenglu responded.

Meng Xilan then said to the ministers: "Don't take the matter of Fang Cai to heart. ”

After Meng Xilan left, Meng Zhenglu also followed.

Zhou Shirao clenched his fists, only suppressing and suppressing the fire in his heart.

Meng Xilan, Meng Xilan, after so many years, you finally showed your fangs.

……

In Cining Palace, Zhu Qing carefully held the second prince to show the prince and the county lord.

Carefree covered his mouth and widened his eyes.

Changsheng was even more timid, and immediately hid behind his sister.

"Aunt Zhuqing, why does my brother look like this?" Carefree looked up, she had seen little babies in the Meng family before, they were all pink and tender, fleshy, and looked cute.

Why is her younger brother, but different from others, looking a little scary.

Zhu Qing said gently: "Back to the county lord, the second prince is congenitally insufficient, so he will grow like this." ”

Worry-free shook his head when he heard this: "It's so pitiful, my brother is too pitiful." ”

Meng Xilan slowly entered the hall, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart.

The childish innocence, a child who even his own mother dislikes, can only get sympathy from an unrelated child.

It's pitiful, it's pathetic!

"Eternal life, worry-free." Meng Xilan opened her mouth to call them over.

Changsheng and Wuwu ran all the way over and saluted her, "Greetings to the queen mother." ”

Meng Xilan stroked their heads and squatted down to talk to them.

"My brother looks different from everyone else, you can see it. He is a poor man, so you must treat him well. ”

Carefree nodded sensibly.

Changsheng shook his head: "Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't like that younger brother, Erchen doesn't want it." ”

Meng Xilan smiled lightly when she heard this, only took him to her side, patted him on the back and said, "Changsheng, he is your younger brother and your relative." Relatives have no choice, you are the eldest son and the crown prince, you can't dislike your younger brother. ”

Changsheng nodded as if he didn't understand: "Erchen knows." ”

Meng Zhenglu had a rare opportunity to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace, and respectfully knelt down and saluted: "The ministers pay their respects to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

When Changsheng saw him, he immediately ran and pounced: "Grandpa." ”

Meng Zhenglu's body shook slightly, and he only hugged Changsheng. "Prince, let my grandfather hug me and not sink."

Changsheng and Meng Zhenglu were very close, because Meng Xilan often asked him to go to Meng's house, and the brothers and sisters in the family were playing together.

Changsheng likes to touch his grandfather's beard the most, and when he is naughty, he will pluck his beard.

Meng Zhenglu hugged the crown prince, looked at him and said, "Weichen also asked His Royal Highness the county lord to say goodbye." ”

Worry-free doesn't call him "grandpa", call him "Grandpa Meng".

Meng Xilan looked at her father and said, "It's rare that my father can be close to the children in the palace. ”

Meng Zhenglu muttered: "Niangniang's hard work, the minister is naturally grateful. It's just that this foreign minister is not allowed to enter the harem, and the minister can sit and sit slightly. ”

The palace maids were busy serving tea, Meng Xilan raised her hand and motioned for her father to sit down and speak, and only said, "Father doesn't have to be restrained." Now that you have come to Cining Palace, you don't need to avoid anything. Even if you just come here to take a picture, it's a different scene when you get into the mouth of outsiders. Therefore, it is better for our father and daughter to speak to their son in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Meng Zhenglu looked down at Changsheng, who was coquettish in his arms, and naturally he was reluctant in his heart.

"Niangniang, the matter of the second prince, are you really ready to make a move?"

Since there were no outsiders, Meng Zhenglu asked directly.

Meng Xilan lowered her head and sipped her tea, and muttered slightly: "As the queen, this palace has to take care of it." ”

"Your Majesty, it is estimated that it will take three days to get the news."

Meng Zhenglu was quietly thinking about his thoughts, when he was suddenly plucked off a beard by Changsheng, which made him slightly stunned.

Seeing this, Meng Xilan scolded softly: "Changsheng is not allowed to be rude to elders. ”

When Changsheng heard this, he immediately stopped moving.

Zhulu Zhuqing stepped forward at the right time and took the prince and the county lord away.

"The second prince was born with a disability, which is also a good thing for the crown prince." Meng Zhenglu thought for a while before saying, "Don't hide it from Niangniang, the minister has been secretly worried about this for a long time. The position of the prince has been decided, but if there are many imperial heirs, ten years later, it will inevitably be another bloody battle. ”

Although the battle for succession back then was bloody, it was enough to make people tremble.

Meng Xilan's eyes froze slightly when she heard this, and she only said, "Father doesn't have to worry. Changsheng is still young now, immature and thin, and this palace will naturally do its best to protect him well. But this palace can't protect him for the rest of his life. As the heir of the emperor, internal and external strife are unavoidable. This palace does not want him to be curled up under the wings of this palace and the emperor forever, he needs brothers by his side, and he needs competitors even more. ”

He is her son and the emperor's son. Her children should not be bloodless, timid and incompetent.

Meng Zhenglu only said when he heard this: "Could this be the original intention of Niangniang to expand the harem?" ”

I have to say that there are a lot of women in the harem in the past two years, even in the emperor's heart

Meng Xilan shook her head slightly: "The palace chooses a concubine for the emperor, just to make the emperor happy." ”

Over the years, the husband and wife have gotten along well, although there are more women around the emperor, the relationship between the two is still the same.

"Just now in the council room, Niangniang spoke for the minister's relief, which made the minister feel ashamed."

Meng Xilan looked at her father and said with a serious face: "Father doesn't have to be like this. If this palace doesn't make this matter clear, inside and outside the palace, I don't know how many people will curse this palace for being a poisonous queen witch behind their backs. ”

"Niangniang......" Meng Zhenglu heard this, and his face showed helplessness.

"Father, the affairs of the harem, this palace will take care of it. My father only had to worry about state affairs. Also, Prince Rong's attitude is really arrogant...... Hongu really can't stand it. ”

Meng Xilan's eyes burst out with hatred.

"Niangniang, what do you mean?"

Meng Xilan leaned forward slightly, and only said: "This palace recommended a person for my father, this person was a slave of this palace, and he was also a person familiar to my father. ”

"Oh? Who is it? ”

"High welfare." Meng Xilan lightly spit out three words.

The former governor of Ouchi Gao Welfare, who was exiled for three years, has just returned to Beijing recently.

Meng Xilan knew that he would not be reconciled, live in seclusion in the countryside, and be a rich idler. He must want to come back, to come back to her.

Meng Zhenglu frowned slightly: "Niangniang, this person is a eunuch who has fallen into sin, what use do you want him?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled lightly: "Father, don't underestimate the high welfare. He was a eunuch and a smart man, and his mind was not confused at all. ”

To deal with people like Zhou Shirao, high welfare can just come in handy.

……

Zhou Shirao, who was faceless in front of people, was furious after returning home, and did not hesitate to smash all the gorgeous furnishings in his study.

The prince was so angry that the people in the house were panicked.

When Zhou Li'er heard about this, she hurried over to persuade her father to calm his anger.

Who knows, when Zhou Shirao saw her, he was even more angry in his heart.

He raised his hand to hit, but saw her slightly bulging lower abdomen, and unconsciously stomped her feet and sighed.

"You, you, do you know how much face you have made your father lose in the court!"

Zhou Li'er didn't expect her father to be angry with herself, her face was panicked, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Father, what's wrong with you?" What did the daughter do wrong to make her father so angry? ”

Zhou Sarao turned his hands behind his back and paced in the room: "It's all the stupid things you did back then, and being mentioned by the queen made my face gloomy!" ”

When she mentioned the events of that year, Zhou Li'er couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then bowed her head and said: "Father, my daughter did make a big mistake back then, but Father, you have already forgiven your daughter, haven't you?" ”

Zhou Shipao said angrily: "What's the use of me forgiving you?" Those ugly things about you, the Meng family has remembered them in their hearts one by one, and they still know it clearly, and they will bring it up every once in a while in the future, humiliating you and humiliating your father. ”

Zhou Li'er's eyes were red, and she almost burst into tears.

She never expected it back then...... She may have been fascinated by someone, so she would be in love with a ruthless drama.

It's been so many years, and she hasn't found any news of him, which is enough to explain everything.

She was blind at the time, and now, even if she is blamed by her father, she has nothing to say.

Just thinking about it, Zhou Shirao suddenly raised his hand and slapped the book case heavily: "Meng Xilan, this poisonous woman, this king will definitely not let her go!" For so many years, every time she spoiled my good deeds! ”
