After being in the palace for so many years, even though there were many unavoidable things happening, Meng Xilan still felt that everything was worth it.

Because, the Meng family has now become the first family in the capital. The former dynasty, the harem, and the people of the Meng family all occupy the most important positions.

Meng Zhenglu is Zhou Youchen's most important auxiliary minister, and although Meng Xilan is in the position of concubine, she is the woman Zhou Youchen cares about the most. Isn't that enough? Could it be that my grandmother had to gather all the power in the world into the palm of the Meng family before she would give up?

Old Mrs. Meng looked at her instantaneous change in expression, and knew that she had said more. She reached out and touched Meng Xilan's hand, and said softly: "Grandmother is also planning for you, but if you don't want to, grandmother won't mention ...... again."

This matter should not be rushed, and maybe in the future, she will change her mind.

Meng Xilan lowered her eyes slightly, stood up, and easily let her hold her hand.

"Grandmother, there is Xilan alone in the palace, aren't you still at ease?"

She knows her grandmother's character too well, she doesn't make a decision lightly, and once the idea germinates in her heart, she won't give up easily.

No matter what, Brother Yun can't move, he can't move!

"Niangniang......" The old lady was slightly stunned when she heard this, and glanced up at Meng Xilan, knowing that she was aware of her thoughts, so she no longer hid it and said: "Lan'er, grandmother has no other meaning. It's just that the emperor has been on the throne for three years, but the matter of the heir is hopeless. Everyone is waiting, everyone is waiting, everyone is looking forward to seeing a prince soon. However, your health is not good, if you let others take the lead, wouldn't it be a pity! Therefore, this is the most helpless way, and that is to make Brother Yun your son...... In this way, even if you can't get pregnant for three or five years, your position in the harem is indestructible. ”

Is it her status, or is it the status of the Meng family?

Thinking of this, Meng Xilan couldn't help but sneer: "Grandmother arranged it like this, didn't she think about the feelings of my brother and sister-in-law?" Brother Yun is their first child, no need to say it, you also know how much the eldest sister-in-law loves Brother Yun, she regards him as her top child! In this palace, I can keep my position even if I don't have an heir. Brother Yun, he is only six years old, he is the eldest grandson of his son-in-law, he should not become a pawn of the Meng family, I don't want him to become a stepping stone of the Meng family like me, a pawn of the Meng family, he should become the heir to the title of the Meng family, and his life is infinitely beautiful. Grandmother, I can listen to you for other things, but this is the only thing I can't let me! ”

Back then, she was helpless and had no choice, but Brother Yun was different, and there were infinite possibilities in his life.

Meng Xilan looked directly into her grandmother's eyes and said word by word: "Please, don't move Brother Yun'er's mind, don't let him become a second me." ”

Her tone was full of warning.

Old Mrs. Meng listened to her words, looked at her eyes, felt inexplicably sour, and said nothing, just nodded silently.

Meng Xilan saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and then only left her a back and said, "I'm going to see Brother Yun." ”

Meng Xilan walked to the side of the rockery with Xiao Chunzi, and saw that Yun Ge'er was squatting on the ground to pick up stones, and looked at it carefully, looking very attentive.

Meng Xilan also squatted down and stretched out her hand: "Brother Yun, show your aunt, what did you choose?" ”

When Brother Yun saw her coming, he smiled and leaned over, only showing her the stones one by one.

"The pattern on this is like a kitten, this pattern with petals ......"

He was talking about being happy, but Meng Xilan reached out and hugged him in her arms, and she hugged his small body with a little reluctance.

"Auntie...... What's wrong with you? Brother Yun blinked in confusion.

Meng Xilan's eye sockets were pantothenic, and she said softly: "It's okay, my aunt is just a little tired all of a sudden." ”

Brother Yun patted her on the back when she heard this: "Oh, it's okay, Brother Yun is here." ”

Meng Xilan smiled when she heard this, and almost burst into tears.

For some reason, her heart suddenly became very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Today is a good day, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming just right, and Meng Xilan is not the only one who comes out to enjoy the flowers.

Zhang Ronger had the heart to come out for a walk and dissipate the depression in her heart. However, coincidentally, she saw several people from a distance.

She recognized that they were all from Cining Palace, especially the little Haruko who came over to read Yi's edict.

"...... It's not a coincidence, why don't we go back? The palace maid next to him whispered. Who knows, Zhang Rong'er slapped her heavily and said, "What are you afraid of?" This palace is not unsightly! ”

The palace maid was slapped in the face, and immediately lowered her head, not daring to say anything more.

Zhang Rong'er did not approach immediately, but stood in the distance, observing the every move of those people.

She swept around with her eyes, but she didn't find Meng Xilan's figure, she should also be here.

Zhang Rong'er searched carefully, and soon, she found Meng Xilan.

She was talking face-to-face with a little boy in gorgeous clothes, she was holding his little hand and touching his little face, very close. Especially the way she looked at him, the way she looked at him was extremely gentle, full of motherly love.

Zhang Rong'er was concerned in her heart, she turned her head and asked, "Who is the little boy next to Concubine Lan?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, it seems to be the concubine's own nephew. I heard that the concubine loves him very much, and almost treats him as her own ......"

"Nephew......" Zhang Rong'er frowned slightly, and then sneered.

Why can't she give birth to a child herself, so she treats her nephew as a son? However, looking at it carefully, the child's appearance is indeed somewhat similar to Meng Xilan.

Zhang Rong'er straightened her clothes a little, took the hand of the palace maid, stepped forward, and deliberately greeted Meng Xilan.

"The concubine asks the concubine to say goodbye."

Meng Xilan didn't expect her to be here, and smiled faintly: "Wen Jieyu." ”

Zhang Rong'er changed her previous anger and displeasure, and said with a sweet smile on her face: "The concubine came to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental...... Ah, what a lovely boy, this is ......."

Meng Xilan took Brother Yun'er's little hand, "This is the nephew of the mourning family." ”

Zhang Rong'er immediately squatted down, wanting to touch Brother Yun'er's little face.

Yun Ge'er deliberately dodged, he hid himself behind Meng Xilan, raised his head and said, "Auntie, can I continue to play?" ”

Meng Xilan touched his head and motioned for Zhulu to accompany him to play.

Zhang Rong'er withdrew her hand with a smile, and deliberately said to herself: "It's really strange, this palace is very pleasing to children." ”

Meng Xilan replied lightly: "Really?" However, Brother Yun is different from ordinary children, he has his own likes and dislikes. ”

Zhang Rong'er hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then knelt down again.

"The concubine made amends to the mother...... Last time, the concubine said a lot of things that shouldn't be said in front of the emperor, which made you sad......

Meng Xilan looked at her and said, "The mourning family is not sad, the mourning family just thinks it is ridiculous." However, the mourning family also gave you a corresponding punishment, didn't they? ”

Zhang Rong'er still knelt on the ground and said: "The concubine Niangniang's punishment of the concubine is the creation of the concubine. ”

"Get up. It's too cold on the ground, watch out for your knees. ”

Meng Xilan raised her hand, her tone full of kindness. "I still have something to do today, I have time to go back, Wen Jieyu will come to the mourning palace to drink tea, let's talk slowly if we have something to say."

Zhang Rong'er's eyes flashed, and she nodded: "The concubine must go." ”

Now, they have only passed one trick, and the days to come are still long......

In the evening, Meng Xilan personally sent her grandmother and Yun Ge'er away, and when they separated, she whispered a word in her grandmother's ear.

Old Madam Meng looked slightly stunned.

She hugged Yun Ge'er and got into the carriage, and Yun Ge'er asked with some reluctance: "Grandmother, when can we come again?" ”

Old Lady Meng sighed slightly and did not speak.

Meng Xilan whispered in her ear: "In the future, take Brother Yun into the palace." ”

Because of her previous words, Meng Xilan cared deeply. It seems that she would rather see Brother Yun a few times less than let him get involved in the struggle of the palace.

She's hard-hearted.

"Grandmother, when are we coming back?"

"Soon, soon." Mrs. Meng hugged Brother Yun and said with some pity.

Xu was because he couldn't see Brother Yun often anymore, and Meng Xilan's mood became a little depressed.

At dinner, she barely moved her chopsticks, just took a few sips of soup.

Zhou Youchen twisted his eyebrows and looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”

She should be very happy today, because Brother Yun came to see her.

"It's okay, I just don't have an appetite." Meng Xilan smiled slightly.

Zhou Youchen saw a trace of loss between her eyebrows, so she put down her chopsticks and said, "You don't have to force a smile in front of me, you can laugh if you want, cry if you want to, you don't need to force it." ”

Meng Xilan smiled again when she heard this, and this time her smile was full of warmth.

Suddenly, Zhulu brought in the decoction again.

Zhou Youchen didn't like the smell of this medicine very much, so he walked to the side of the bed and breathed: "This damn thing, how long are you going to drink it?" ”

Meng Xilan picked up the spoon and gently stirred the decoction, wanting to let it cool down quickly.

"Drink it until I can get pregnant."

Her understatement made Zhou Youchen stunned.

He frowned, his expression was solemn, he walked to Meng Xilan's side, looked her eyes directly and said, "You said pregnant?" ”

"Yes." Meng Xilan hummed softly.

Zhou Youchen was so shocked that he couldn't help but chuckle: "But you never let me touch you......"

If they weren't married, how could she get pregnant? He and she hadn't even kissed yet, she was always close to him, but she kept him far away in her heart...... He was not allowed to cross the line, solemn and serious.

Meng Xilan ignored his burning gaze, took a sip of the decoction, and said, "It's not the time yet...... The emperor is the same as me, we all need to wait. ”

He wouldn't have taken that step until he was fully prepared. Since then, in her life, there is no memory of her past life to rely on, she can't be wrong, and she can't lose.

She needs to take care of her body, and she needs to accumulate her ambitions, and then do what she should do without hesitation.

Zhou Youchen's eyes flickered slightly, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

He thought that she would not change her mind, so he kept himself cold all his life, and always regarded him as a child who did not understand personnel.
