Chapter 121: Something Else (2)
Meng Xichu secretly glanced at Meng Xilan with his eyes, and said deliberately: "Actually, I'm not tired yet, sister, why don't you take us around first." This is a thousand-year-old temple, and the scenery must be very chic. ”
The eldest aunt Sun also helped: "Yes, how can there be no incense when you enter the temple." She knew that Meng Xilan would be partial, although the old lady didn't say anything, she also knew that Meng Xilan was deliberately trying to let Meng Xiqiao show her face in front of people.
When Meng Xilan heard this, she knew that they couldn't wait, and smiled slightly: "It's okay, then let's go over to the pillar incense together." ”
After a stick of incense, everyone went back to their places.
Suddenly, the Feng family sent a maid to invite Meng Xilan to drink tea, and Meng Xilan seemed to have expected it, so she brought Zhulu and Zhuqing over.
As soon as Feng Shi saw her, he smiled and bent his eyebrows and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, I see that your complexion is a lot ruddy, how is your body?" Are you okay? ”
Meng Xilan nodded with a smile: "I'm fine, Erniang doesn't need to remember, I eat supplements every day, and no matter how bad my body is, I can make up for it." ”
Now she has a white complexion and a red complexion, and her body is a little richer than before, and she is not as haggard as she was in her previous illness.
"Your father's body is almost recovered, and he spoke to the emperor yesterday...... Your second brother has a strong body, and now he can eat and sleep, which is also very good. The prince sent someone to pass the word, asking him to recuperate steadily, and then go to the palace on an errand. Brother Yun has also grown up a lot, chubby, with small meat folds on his body. Feng knew that she was worried about her family, so he told her about everyone's current situation.
"Hello everyone, I'm relieved." After hearing these words, Meng Xilan felt as if she was relieved.
"It shouldn't have been me here today, but the old lady has a leg problem and has difficulty moving...... As for the eldest aunt, she deliberately followed. Speaking of this, Feng's face was slightly not good-looking.
"The eldest aunt must have heard something, so she came with her. Forget it, it's more lively when there are more people, anyway, they have to know about this matter sooner or later. Whether it succeeds or not, this is also a good thing, and there is no need to hide it all the time. ”
Feng frowned slightly and said, "I'm just afraid that they will cause you trouble." ”
Meng Xilan picked up the teacup and took a sip gently: "Erniang don't worry. I had time to talk to my aunt, and I thought she would understand the power of this. ”
Feng Shi heard this, and his heart was naturally steady. Now, in her eyes, there is nothing difficult in this world that Meng Xilan can't do.
Early the next morning, after doing the morning class, Meng Xilan took the sisters at home to greet the ladies of the palace.
Meng Xichu was originally dressed up in a fancy way, with a pink brocade round neck gown, a gold hairpin with silk and beads on his head, silk flowers on his sideburns, and his ears did not fall, and he also carried a pair of jade earrings, swaying,
Meng Xilan looked at her dressed up, frowned slightly, and said, "Sister's dress is not in order, let's go in and change." ”
Meng Xichu was naturally unwilling, and only said: "I'm doing this to show my respect for the ladies of the palace." ”
"Really? If my sister really wants to leave a good impression on the girls, then quickly change this dress and change it into a pure and elegant body, otherwise, my sister will only be self-defeating. Meng Xilan's voice was calm, as if she was explaining a fact that would definitely happen.
In the end, this is a pure place of Buddhism, pure and light, without powder, but everyone's respect for the Buddha.
Meng Xilan felt that she really didn't see the wrong person, with Meng Xichu's heart, even if she married into a famous family in the future, she would be a master who couldn't do anything. A pampered and coquettish woman will sooner or later be disliked by her husband and despised by her in-laws, and it will not be useful to the Meng family.
Although Meng Xichu was not convinced, he was dragged back by Sun to change his clothes.
It was rare for Empress Su and Concubine Ning to sit together in peace, and at this moment, their eyes were on the three daughters of the Meng family. In terms of appearance, Meng Xichu, who was standing on the left, was born with a beautiful appearance and moon appearance, and was undoubtedly the most outstanding among the three.
Her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and at a young age, she could vaguely see a little charm on her face.
In terms of height, Meng Xiqiao is the tallest, with a slender waist that is less than a hand, and he is also born with red lips and white teeth.
All of them are beautiful embryos, but unfortunately the only person who can be blessed to enjoy happiness in the palace is Meng Xilan.
Half-loud, Queen Su said with a smile: "Look, the daughter of the Anguo Mansion is really better looking than a water spirit." ”
Meng Xiqiao smiled shyly and lowered her head slightly. Meng Xichu took over the conversation, deliberately stepped forward and saluted: "The people's daughter Xie Queen Niang praises." ”
Queen Su's eyes moved slightly when she heard this: "How old are you for a few years?" ”
Meng Xichu saw that the queen was willing to talk to him, and replied with a smile: "Back to the queen's mother, the people's daughter is sixteen years old this year. ”
"Sixteen, it's time to get married...... Did you talk about family affairs? Queen Su had a gentle and kind appearance, but Meng Xichu was a little flattered.
Meng Xichu's face turned red: "Back to the queen's mother, haven't ...... yet"
When Queen Su heard this, she deliberately glanced at Meng Xilan and quipped: "Why is this sister married, but my sister hasn't landed yet." Such a good child, how can he delay his years in vain, it is better to let this palace be the master again. ”
Meng Xichu was stunned when he heard this, his back unconsciously tightened, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
What does the queen mean by this? Could it be that she has taken a fancy to herself? Oh my God, what a glory it would be if the queen was willing to stand up for her.
Meng Xilan sat on the side, listening calmly, seeing that Queen Su was staring at herself with eyes that seemed to be smiling, her lips were lightly opened, and she was about to speak, but it was Concubine Ning who opened her mouth first: "The queen mother is really rare and interested today." It's good, how to start pulling fiber for people. Marriage is still a matter of providence, and when the time comes, it will naturally come naturally. I heard that the princess and Captain Chu grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and such a marriage is rewarded by God. Bengong thinks that this Xichu girl, although she is old, she is still in a hurry to get married......
Empress Su had long been accustomed to Murong Qiao's cold words, and the smile on her face remained unchanged, and then she said lightly: "Concubine Ning's words also have some truth. This palace just saw this child stand out, and wanted to cultivate her. ”
She deliberately used the word "cultivation", which made Meng Xilan frown, I don't know what the queen means?
Meng Xichu didn't hear the deep meaning of these words, and hurriedly kowtowed to the queen and said, "The queen mother...... Is this true? If the mother doesn't think the people are stupid, the people are willing to follow the mother wholeheartedly! ”
Learn? Queen Su didn't expect her to dare to pick up, and there was a little more disdain in her smile. "Okay, if you are really willing to follow this palace, this palace will simply take you back to the palace."
When Meng Xilan heard this, her face changed instantly, and she hurriedly glanced at Meng Xichu and signaled her to stop talking.
Who knows, Meng Xichu deliberately pretended not to see it, and asked puzzledly: "Enter the palace?" Queen Mother, can a folk girl also enter the palace? ”
As soon as she asked these words, Li Jieyu next to her couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the others present also lowered their heads.
Meng Xichu didn't know what he said wrong, but he felt that Meng Xilan's frowning was getting tighter and tighter, and his face was getting more and more ugly, and he was secretly a little uneasy in his heart.
Empress Su stroked the bead hairpin on her head unhurriedly, and said in a light tone: "It's hard to say it's hard to enter the palace, it's not difficult to say it's not difficult, as long as you have a heart, nothing is impossible." Then from now on, you will follow the palace and learn how to serve the emperor well. ”
Meng Xichu was slightly stunned at first when he heard this, and then his heart was shocked, his eyes looked at Queen Su in shock, his nervous lips opened, but he didn't spit out a word.
Concubine Ning glanced at her coldly, and said in her heart: What a stupid talent!
Meng Xilan strained her face, looked at Meng Xichu's panicked expression, and after thinking about it for a while, she still secretly gave her a look, telling her not to be impatient and not to panic.
Queen Su was obviously deliberately making fun of her, but she couldn't hear it!
"Look, why is my sister stunned? The Queen Mother is just joking with you. Meng Xilan slowly got up, walked to Meng Xichu, stretched out her hand and gently put it on her shoulder, looked at Queen Su opposite, and said softly: "I only learned today that the queen mother also likes to laugh sometimes." ”
Meng Xichu saw Meng Xilan standing beside him, and felt a little more confident in his heart, and said busily: "The folk girl doesn't understand the rules, and she actually takes the queen's joke as the truth, it's really ashamed, and I hope you don't blame it." ”
Murong Qiao also gave her a step down at the right time, "Forget it, get up quickly, don't kneel at every turn." The queen is just kidding you. ”
When Queen Su saw that they all gave her the steps, she didn't have the heart to tease her, so she only beckoned to Meng Xichu.
Meng Xichu walked over cautiously, looking shy and timid, but he didn't dare to smile anymore.
Queen Su took her hand and patted it: "Look at what scares you." As Concubine Ning said, this palace is just joking with you, you don't have to take it to heart. ”
"Yes......" Meng Xichu looked at Queen Su in disbelief, and suddenly felt that she was a little scary.
After talking for a long time, everyone was a little tired.
Meng Xichu followed Meng Xilan back to the wing room silently, who knows, as soon as he entered the room, he saw Meng Xilan turn around and stare at him, his eyes were quite fierce: "What my sister did today made the entire Meng family embarrassed with you." ”
The eldest aunt Sun was not present, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly looked at her daughter and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Meng Xichu also knew that he was too anxious, and made a joke, biting his lip but not speaking.
Meng Xilan walked in front of her and said word by word: "I don't care what kind of spring and autumn dream my sister has in her heart, but as long as you are the daughter of the Meng family one day, you must pay attention to your words and deeds." Things in the palace are inextricably linked, but they are not as simple as you think! If you want to tie up with the queen, you must first know what kind of master the queen is! ”
