Meng Xilan knew that she was now facing a big problem, and she couldn't solve it properly on her own, so she had to ask her family for help.

However, Meng Xiran had already taken a step ahead of her and told her father and grandmother about it. There are only two people in the family who can be the master and have the idea.

Mrs. Meng did make a mistake about this matter, but Meng Zhenglu felt incredible, and the two sat opposite each other, both with complicated expressions.

"Mother, it seems that Lan'er's marriage can't be delayed any longer, and it must be done as soon as possible." Half-loud, Meng Zhenglu thought about it, but felt that there was no better way.

Mrs. Meng nodded, but did not speak, her fingertips lightly scratched the pattern on the tablecloth, still with a pensive expression.

"Hui Niang, how about you find a chance to meet with the people of the Chu family and talk about this matter?" General Chu and Chu Jingwen are not in Beijing, it is not easy for him to go to the house to walk, only his mother is the most suitable.

Old Madam Meng nodded again, and her face sank a little.

"Mother, why haven't you spoken?" Meng Zhenglu saw that her expression was different, and hurriedly said with concern.

"Prince Naxian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not to mention, there is Concubine Ning behind him...... I'm worried that Lan'er will be wronged in the palace alone. ”

In her opinion, the most important thing at the moment is how Meng Xilan feels? Thinking about it, the old lady's heart unconsciously rose a little guilty. In and out of the palace, one thing after another, in the end, she is the most bitter.

"Alas......" Meng Zhenglu also sighed, "Lan'er is a thoughtful person who knows how to protect herself. ”

The old lady was really relieved, and the next morning, she went straight to the palace gate, asking to see the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess.

She has a fate, walks in the palace, and has her own dignity. The Queen Mother was very happy to see her, in the end, the friends who met when they were young, each other remembered each other's most innocent appearance back then.

The Queen Mother said with a smile: "The mourning family has not been so happy for a long time, and you will often come to the palace to walk around in the future." ”

Mrs. Meng curtsied, smiling.

After the Queen Mother took a nap, Meng Xilan invited her grandmother to her room, and Mrs. Meng took her hand and closed it in her palm.

"Why didn't you tell your grandmother about all this going on? If your second brother hadn't known, your father and I would have thought you were doing well in the palace. ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "Lan'er is indeed doing well, except for this annoyance, there is no other trouble." ”

Old Lady Meng pondered for a moment before asking, "When did you and the prince get involved?" ”

Meng Xilan replied very calmly: "Xu has had such a thought in his heart since the incident of the epidemic. However, I never gave him a chance, but before I knew it, he and I had come to this point. A few days ago, in front of Concubine Ning, he said that he wanted to marry me, and I have been very worried, for fear that he will make some more troubles......"

It's not so much worry as fear. Imagine that half a year ago, Meng Xilan never thought that she would one day become the woman Zhou Youlin wanted to marry.

Mrs. Meng was shocked, and shook her head again and again: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" ”

What is Zhou Youlin's identity? How can you ignore the etiquette and rules, and insist on going your own way?

"The prince seems to have made a lot of determination, Concubine Ning has always wanted to persuade him to give up, but he is very stubborn." Meng Xilan used a slight force, held her grandmother's finger back, and said lightly: "Grandmother, it seems that my days in the palace are really numbered." ”

Mrs. Meng was stunned when she heard this, and soon understood what she meant.

"You've done what you're supposed to do, and grandmother won't be greedy for anything else. You and Shizukawa should have married a long time ago, but it was your grandmother who delayed you. ”

Her tone was a little heavy, full of guilt and unease. If the two children were allowed to marry according to the marriage date, it may also be a good thing to conform to the will of God.

"Grandmother, don't say that, I was the one who wanted to enter the palace at the beginning, and I wanted to do something for the Meng family. Now, I don't regret coming to this point, but I just kind of want to blame myself, feeling that I was still not careful enough and got into trouble that I shouldn't have provoked. ”

"Don't mess up, the more times like this, the more you can't mess up your mind." Old Madam Meng patted her shoulder soothingly: "You are alone in the palace, everything has to be decided by yourself, and every decision is very important." So, you can't mess around, you have to be calm, you have to be calm. ”

Meng Xilan nodded, put her grandmother's hands to her cheeks, and sighed softly: "I know, my grandmother came to see me today, which made me feel a lot more at ease." ”

The warmth and concern given by family members is a beauty that nothing can replace.

The afternoon sun was lazy and soft, and Meng Xilan personally sent her grandmother to the carriage out of the palace, watching her go farther and farther until she was gone.

Zhulu Zhuqing knew that she was reluctant, and whispered behind her: "Master, the old lady has gone away, let's go back." ”

Meng Xilan nodded lightly, and was about to turn around, but when she saw Gao Fu, who was looking around, she suddenly struck a stirring spirit, and hurriedly came to her side: "Master, isn't that Prince Xian?" ”

Meng Xilan frowned, followed the direction of his gaze, and sure enough, he saw a person standing on the pavilion opposite, it was Zhou Youlin.

When did he come? Is it a coincidence, or is it intentional?

Meng Xilan's mood was a little messy, after the last farce, she and him shouldn't have met again. However, she was still eager to know the result, which was the result of his game with Concubine Ning.

Meng Xilan's eyes flashed slightly, and she suddenly walked in the direction of the pavilion, Gao Fuli was a little flustered: "Master, do you want to go over?" ”

"Well, since you have met, you have to go over and say hello." It wasn't her who made the mistake, why did she lose her momentum in front of Zhou Youlin and run away. Before, she was full of thoughts about avoiding suspicion, turning big things into small things, but the result she got in exchange was not Zhou Youlin's politeness, but his intensification.

In that case, what else did she have to fear...... It's better to face him face-to-face, say what needs to be said, and do what needs to be done.

Zhou Youlin didn't expect her to take the initiative to come over, and raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid of me?" ”

Meng Xilan made a standard greeting ceremony, "I always respect the prince in my heart, so I will do the etiquette that should be done." ”

The corners of Zhou Youlin's lips raised a slow arc, and he smiled a little playfully: "Aren't you curious?" ”

"Curious about what?"

"Curious about the results of that day......" Zhou Youlin deliberately lengthened his tone, Meng Xilan's expression changed slightly, turned around, turned his back to him and said, "Lord Wang, please don't continue to embarrass me." ”

After a period of silence, Zhou Youlin took a step forward gently, stared at her back, and said deeply: "Don't blame me for being too reckless, I'm just too anxious, anxious that you will become someone else's woman, not mine." ”

Meng Xilan's back was filled with a chill, and she really couldn't hear such "sweet words": "Lord Wang, let's not go around in circles, what do you want?" What does Concubine Ning want? ”

Her tone was as cold as ice, and every word was loud.

Zhou Youlin took a deep breath: "I don't like you to talk to me with such an attitude. ”

Meng Xilan glanced back at him and sneered, "I don't like people always forcing me to threaten me. ”

"Heh......" Seeing her laugh, Zhou Youlin also laughed, the laughter was cold, as if there was mockery. Before, the mother asked me, why do I like you so much? I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't think of a specific reason, I just said that it was because you are different from others. Indeed, you are really different, if you are someone else, you are probably either afraid or secretly happy, but you don't, you just ...... Wrath! ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she only looked into the distance and said in a deep voice: "I'm very angry. No one likes to be toyed with and bullied. ”

"I don't want to bully you, but I can't control myself." Zhou Youlin also felt guilty in his heart, but he was more lost.

"Forget it...... What are you doing with this, the prince should give me a happy word, so that I can prepare early. ”

"Meng Xilan, no matter how much you hate me, I have always had you in my heart, and I will wait for you." When Zhou Youlin said this, he couldn't wait to dig out his heart and show her.

Wait?! Meng Xilan was extremely sensitive to this word in her heart.

He said he was going to wait for her, how could he wait?

Meng Xilan turned her head, her eyes were full of vigilance, and she stared at Zhou Youlin's face: "Lord Wang's words have confused me. ”

Zhou Youlin lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I obviously said that I was impatient." However, I have changed my mind, and for your sake, I am willing to wait for you now, whether it is a year or three years. ”

One day, he asked her to follow him willingly.

Meng Xilan had a bad premonition in her heart, and she couldn't understand what the logic of his words was? The more I don't understand, the more I feel dangerous.

"Lord Wang, I have said more than once, I am about to marry Second Lieutenant Chu, so you can let me go."

Meng Xilan didn't want to show vulnerability, but she instinctively used the word "let go".

If the two of them continue to be entangled like this, Meng Xilan is worried that she will become a joke in the palace, and Zhou Youlin will also lose those due advantages.

"Meng Xilan, you won't get married, because this king won't allow you to get married." Zhou Youlin said this coldly.

Meng Xilan's hands clenched into fists, and her nails pierced her palms.

"Impossible, Concubine Ning won't promise you, and the emperor won't promise you."

Could it be that Murong Qiao really agreed? Impossible, with her mind and mind, how could she not know how ridiculous this thing was?

"The mother will agree, and the father will agree. Meng Xilan, you have to be mine sooner or later. The tone in which he spoke, unusually peaceful, made people feel more and more uneasy.

Meng Xilan's shoulders trembled slightly, and she was about to speak, but she saw that he was the first to turn around and leave, and his steps were relaxed, as if he had already been confident.

Something is wrong, something is not quite right......

Meng Xilan had a gut feeling that something was going to happen, and there was a hint of conspiracy in it...... But she couldn't guess when, where, or to what kind of person......

A few days later, Concubine Chen of Shoukang Palace died of illness, she was the favorite concubine of the first emperor, and also the Jinlan sister of the queen mother, and the emperor's own aunt. In the end, Zhou Shixian was very sad in his heart, and ordered the internal affairs government to do a big job, and the funeral regulations were all done according to the specifications of the imperial concubine, and he ordered the whole country to keep filial piety for a period of one year.

When Meng Xilan heard about this, she was in her room, her hands trembled, and the teacup in her hand fell to the ground and shattered.

She was so surprised that she couldn't speak, her body shook slightly, which made Zhulu Zhuqing panic, and hurriedly came over to help her steady: "Master, be careful." ”

"I see...... I see...... Meng Xilan's eyes were cold and boundless, and his tone was helpless and shocked: "That's why he said he would wait for me...... Their mother and son are so poisonous, really poisonous! ”
