Tong Yao covered half of her face, watching the emperor leave like that, she couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, and cried even harder.

Seeing her like this, Wu Xue'er couldn't help frowning and said, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

Tong Yao didn't dare to say it, and now said to her: "Sister, I just had a nightmare, a very scary nightmare. ”

"Sister, I always think that the queen wants to harm me?"

Wu Xue'er smiled lightly when she heard this, patted her shoulder and said, "Silly sister, what are you thinking?" If the queen didn't want you to get pregnant, she would have done it behind her back. ”

Meng Xilan is so scheming, if she can't tolerate her children, she would have done it behind her back.

Wu Xue'er gently stroked Tong Yao's long hair, and said in her heart: You are really lucky.

She has been favored for three years, and every time she sleeps, the emperor says "don't stay", and Tong Yao only occasionally sees the emperor, but she is stayed.

Wu Xue'er hated the root of her teeth, but she could only give up.

The owner of this harem is Meng Xilan, and she has no other way than to be obedient for the time being.

Tong Yao cried for a while, and then felt tired.

Wu Xue'er waited for her to fall asleep and stared at her stomach. Looking at it, she suddenly reached out and touched it, her eyes full of envy.

Early the next morning, Wu Xue'er took the initiative to go to Cining Palace to greet Meng Xilan. However, she didn't expect that she was not the first one.

The earliest person today is Song Huaiyu.

When Wu Xue'er came in, Song Huaiyu was kneeling beside Meng Xilan and gently beating her calves.

"The concubine said hello to the queen. Sister Song...... It's so early. ”

Song Huaiyu nodded and smiled at her.

"I heard that Sister Tong had a nightmare last night and was frightened, I wonder if she is better?" Meng Xilan raised her hand slightly, signaling Song Huaiyu not to knock anymore.

"Back to Niangniang's words, the emperor had already gone to see Sister Tong yesterday, and after comforting her for a while, she fell asleep, she should ...... It's no big deal. ”

Thinking of the slap that Tong Yao received last night, Wu Xue'er's heart secretly felt happy, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.

The two sat down together, and the palace maids served tea and poured water, and after a little busy work, they retreated.

Meng Xilan took a shallow sip of tea before saying, "Watching my sister conceive so hard this baby." I'm a little worried. If you are pregnant for the first time, there are many taboo things, and if you don't sleep well, you won't have the energy to deal with it. ”

When Song Huaiyu and Wu Xue'er heard this, they couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

What does she mean by that?

Who knows, after Meng Xilan sighed slightly, the words suddenly changed: "Two sisters, it has been some time since I entered the palace, and there are many opportunities to get the emperor's favor, but unfortunately, there has been no good news." ”

Song Huaiyu clenched the tea bowl in her hand hard, did she deliberately want to embarrass her?

She was the one who cut off her hope at the beginning, and now she is saying such cool things.

Wu Xue'er didn't know Song Huaiyu's thoughts, so she slowly got up and said: "Niangniang, it is a great blessing for the concubine to have the honor to serve the emperor, and the concubine does not dare to expect too much......"

Meng Xilan smiled gently when she heard this: "My sister always knows how to be so measured, which really makes this palace very pleased." Wait a while, let the Tai Hospital send someone over to diagnose your pulse and prescribe some medicine for my sister to nourish her body. ”

Hearing her say this, it was as if it were true.

"By the way, Sister Song's body should also be well conditioned." Meng Xilan looked at Song Huaiyu, who was looking down at the tea bowl on the other side, and said meaningfully.

Song Huaiyu's hands trembled lightly unconsciously.

Xu deliberately had something to say to her, and Meng Xilan left her alone.

Without Wu Xue'er present, Song Huaiyu didn't have to worry so much when he spoke.

"That's what the mother said on purpose......"

Meng Xilan knew that she had a grudge in her heart, so she said directly: "This palace is not just talking about it, this palace is serious." ”

Song Huaiyu looked up puzzled: "Niangniang...... Have you forgotten? At the beginning, did you say that let the concubines give up the hope of being mothers and stay in the palace in peace? ”

Meng Xilan slowly got up, came to the window and stood still, and said, "This is not that time, the direction of life will change with circumstances. Back then, Bengong didn't mean to embarrass you, but the prince was young, and Bengong's health was not good, so Bengong could only think about himself, and wronged you......"

Grievance...... All these years of forbearance are not just grievances.

Song Huaiyu also stood up and said, "Niangniang...... The past is in the past. The concubine didn't care, and the concubine was very satisfied with her current life. ”

Meng Xilan turned to look at her when she heard this, and said with a faint gaze: "There is no one else here at this time, you don't have to be so restrained when you talk to this palace." This palace knows that you have a grudge against this palace in your heart, and this palace doesn't mind, and this palace not only doesn't mind, but this palace also wants to compensate you well. ”

Song Huaiyu lowered his eyes and listened, his face was still unfazed.

"It's been three years, the prince has gradually grown up, and Bengong's heart has become steady. Yesterday, looking at Sister Tong's uncontrollable appearance, you must have felt very uncomfortable. It's okay, Hongu will compensate you well. ”

Meng Xilan looked out the window and looked into the distance: "To be precise, the person who can really help you is Jiao Changqing." With him, it is not difficult for my sister to get pregnant again. After all, you haven't touched that cold medicine for three years. ”

Song Huaiyu's eyes froze slightly, and he didn't know how to answer.

"...... You really don't mind? ”

Meng Xilan smiled lightly: "It's been so many years, what does this palace still mind." In a few days, it's time to choose a concubine again, and we are all old men in this palace now. What else does Hongu care about? The crown prince is older, and he needs brothers and sisters by his side, just like you and Hongu, we all need partners. ”

"Your body, Master Jiao will slowly adjust it for you."

Song Huaiyu knelt down to thank him, still feeling uneasy, not knowing whether this was a blessing or a curse.

……

Seeing that the triennial concubine selection is about to start again.

People inside and outside the palace began to get busy with this matter again.

People outside the palace do everything they can to build relationships. And the people in the palace, all who show their faces in front of the master, can't wait to start bridging the line.

The daughters of the Meng family who are adults are all married, and those who are not yet minors are not qualified to enter the palace.

For the Meng family, this draft is just a good time to win people's hearts.

However, at the moment, there is a more tricky thing to do for the Meng family.

Mrs. Meng has been a little sick recently, and she slowly began to lose some confusion about people.

Meng Xilan asked Jiao Changqing to take someone over to take a look, and as a result, Jiao Changqing said that the old lady's condition was very bad. "The old man is old, and he has symptoms of amnesia, and I am afraid that it will get worse and worse in the future."

When Meng Xilan heard this, she felt uneasy. "Can this disease be cured?"

"Hui Niangniang, there is no cure for this disease."

Grandmother's age is indeed not young, and when people get old, they will inevitably have diseases.

Meng Xilan was worried about her family, so she took Changsheng and Wuwu back to Meng's house together.

This is not in accordance with the rules, but at the moment, no one in the palace dares to pick on her.

When Meng Xilan saw her family, she asked, "How is my grandmother's health?" Did you feel uncomfortable during these two days? ”

Meng Zhenglu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Back to Niangniang, the old lady is not uncomfortable, but her memory is good and bad, and she can't remember people." ”

Actually, she didn't do this suddenly, she just forgot some small things at first, drinking tea and eating. The family thought she was just tired or unwell.

No one thought that she would get worse and worse, and even people couldn't recognize her.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Meng Zhenglu sighed: "The minister doesn't want to let Niangniang worry about it. ”

Meng Xilan handed over the children to her eldest sister-in-law to take care of, and she went to the main courtyard to visit her grandmother.

The old lady was taking a nap, and the maid on the side was gently beating her legs.

Meng Xilan didn't want to wake up her grandmother, so she raised her hand and motioned for the maid to retreat.

She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her grandmother with an old face, and her heart was inexplicably sour.

But I haven't seen each other for three or two months, and my grandmother has aged so much all at once.

Meng Xilan sat quietly, and in the middle of the sound, her grandmother moved a little and woke up.

"Grandmother......" Meng Xilan smiled at her.

Mrs. Meng glanced at her slowly, and only said, "Water ......"

Hearing this, Meng Xilan hurriedly handed the tea bowl to her mouth.

The old lady took a sip and said, "Who are you?" ”

Meng Xilan was slightly surprised, and said with a smile: "Grandmother is me, I am Lan'er......"

"Lan'er...... Lan'er ......" The old lady closed her eyes and repeated a few times, then suddenly stretched out her hand and gestured: "No, my Lan'er is only so old this year." ”

It seems that the grandmother is really confused.

"My Lan'er, I'm practicing calligraphy in the study right now. A girl's family can endure hardships better than a boy. Such a smart child, people like it when they see it. ”

Meng Xilan smiled when she heard this: "Really? I must meet her when I have the chance. ”

The old lady smiled and fell asleep again.

Meng Xilan walked out with red eyes.

Qiao Huiyun and Zhou Youning greeted her, and when they saw that her face was wrong, they only said, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

Meng Xilan calmed down a little, and only said: "It's because I'm late, and my grandmother doesn't know me anymore." ”

Qiao Huiyun stepped forward to comfort her and said, "It's okay, the old lady will occasionally come to her senses, don't worry......

Meng Xilan shook her head and said, "How can I not worry, she doesn't remember me." ”

Decades of memories disappeared silently. It's so sad.

After returning to the palace, Meng Xilan was depressed, and Zhou Youchen asked her what was wrong.

Meng Xilan turned to look at him: "Grandmother doesn't remember the concubine, she doesn't know who the concubine is, but she still remembers me when she was a child." ”

Zhou Youchen knew that Mrs. Meng was sick, but he didn't know that she was so sick.

He stroked her shoulder and comforted her, "It's okay, when the old lady's illness is cured, everything will be fine." ”

Meng Xilan shook her head lightly: "The master said that my grandmother's illness will not be cured." When people are old, they are old, and many things are out of their own control. ”

Zhou Youchen saw that she was not in the right mood, so he put one hand around her shoulder and said, "Can I help in any way?" ”

He's not a doctor, he can't heal, but he wants to make her better.

"Your Majesty, what should I do if one day my concubine is old and can't remember anything?"

She spoke faintly, with a hint of sadness.

Zhou Youchen tightened his arms and said, "You're thinking nonsense again...... If there really is such a day, I guess I will be an old fool too. ”

Meng Xilan smiled lightly: "If you really want to forget, the concubine only wants to forget all those unhappy memories." And those happy, good memories, and concubines hope that they can stay. ”

Zhou Youchen leaned into her ear, lowered his head and whispered: "Don't be afraid, if you forget, I will tell you our story over and over again." ”

The ups and downs of the past, those memories that are integrated into the blood, he will never forget.
