When Murong Qiao heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and the expression on his face softened a little.

It seems that she knows what to do in her heart, and she knows what to do. Of course, this is the best, otherwise, when she makes up her own mind, in case her hand hurts her too badly, wouldn't it be a pity for nothing to be a lovely person like a flower......

To be honest, Murong Qiao still likes Meng Xilan's girl very much, but it's a pity that she has such a nosy temperament, she will definitely suffer a big loss in the palace in the future.

"Your wedding date has already been set?" Murong Qiao's tone softened, and his expression was a little more gentle and concerned as an elder should have.

Meng Xilan bit her lower lip slightly, lowered her eyes and said, "The specific day has to be decided by the elders." However, according to the elders, of course, the sooner the better. ”

At this moment, the most reassuring reason for Concubine Ning is her marriage contract with the Chu family.

Murong Qiao groaned slightly, touched the jade ring on his finger with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "You two look really matched, in the future, when you marry out of the palace, there will be one less person to talk to in this palace...... But don't worry, this palace will definitely give you a big gift when the time comes. ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she pretended to bow her head shyly, but there was a chill in her heart.

Originally, the Queen Mother was going to live in Daxiangguo Temple for a month, but because her body was not very cool, she intended to return to the palace early.

The sunset gradually faded, and the Queen Mother leaned on the couch, looked at Meng Xilan and said, "Lan'er, have you had anything on your mind lately?" ”

Meng Xilan sat down and gently pounded the queen mother's legs, looked up at her, and said with a slight smile: "What's on your mind?" Xu is sleepy and lacking in spring and autumn recently, and sometimes likes to be lazy. ”

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips sank slightly, and she only glanced at her: "If only you were really lazy." The mourning family knows that your mind is delicate, and you don't want to mention many things, and the mourning family will not embarrass you. Wait until you want to say it, and then listen to it. ”

Meng Xilan's hand paused slightly, and then lowered her head again.

What the Queen Mother wants her to say must be related to Zhou Youlin, and the rumors in the palace have been making trouble for so long? The Queen Mother didn't know, but she might not really believe it.

After beating for a while, the Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Okay, get up and rest." ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, she meekly sat beside her, and the Queen Mother held her little hand and looked at it again and again, before she advised: "The mourning family told them to prepare to return to the palace tomorrow, but the ritual here is still three days away, so you can stay on behalf of the mourning family." With you guarding, mourning the family is at ease. Wait three days and then you go back. ”

"Yes, Erchen understands." Meng Xilan nodded yes. To be honest, she didn't want to go back to the palace right now.

Since Meng Xiqiao returned home, Meng Xichu has not appeared for two days, she neither went home, nor worshipped the Buddha, but just stayed in her room and did not go out.

After the Queen Mother left for the palace, Meng Xilan asked Zhulu to invite her over, and she still had something to say.

Meng Xichu came in a long way, dressed plainly, with a little powder, and the whole person looked listless.

Meng Xilan looked closely, and saw that although there was a thin layer of fat powder on her face, she could still see the slight redness and swelling between her eyes.

It seems that she has cried, and as for what she is crying for, Meng Xilan also knows it.

"I remember, Sister Xichu loves Biluo Spring Tea the most, Zhulu, you go make a cup."

Zhu Lu responded and left, and Zhu Qing stepped forward in time and stood where Zhu Lu had stood.

Meng Xichu just raised his eyes to look at her when he heard this, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know what Meng Xilan's heart had in mind.

"My sister has been in a bad mood these two days, and I specially asked my sister to come over today, just to talk to my sister." Meng Xilan opened her mouth lightly.

Meng Xichu didn't want to get her affection, tilted his head, looked out the window and said, "I don't have to worry about my sister." Zuo is just a bad one, and he really doesn't deserve to be the daughter of the Meng family. ”

Meng Xilan saw that her words were full of sourness, so she knew that she was full of resentment towards herself, and only said: "When my sister says these words, she is angry." Xi Qiao's sister's marriage is indeed my idea, but I have no prejudice against my sister, but that day the incident happened suddenly, and I was in a hurry, so I said those words to my sister. Afterwards, I also felt that I had gone too far, and I had been looking for an opportunity to apologize to my sister. ”

Meng Xichu looked at Meng Xilan in a daze, but she didn't expect that her attitude towards herself would suddenly change.

"You're ......"

While speaking, Zhu Lu had already brought tea: "Miss Chu, please use it!" ”

Meng Xichu took the tea bowl and was silent for a moment before picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip.

"Now, Xi Qiao's marriage has been completed, and the matter of my sister in the future is the most important thing for the Meng family. My sister just relaxes and lives at ease. After a while, Meng Xilan spoke again and gave Meng Xichu a reassurance.

Meng Xichu raised his eyes to look at her, his face was cold, but he didn't smile: "Sister, how can I be at ease?" I am the eldest daughter of the Meng family, and I am the daughter of the concubine...... When talking about marriage, it stands to reason that I should be in front, but ......" As she spoke, tears fell into her eyes, and she was very aggrieved.

Among the three daughters of the Meng family, Meng Xilan was the first to marry, followed by Meng Xiqiao, and she was the last.

"The grievances in my sister's heart, I don't don't understand. It's just that there is a reason for it, and the elders also have the thoughts of the elders. With my sister's beauty, it is not difficult to have a good marriage, but we always have to plan for the long term and not just look at the present. Meng Xilan comforted her lightly.

Meng Xichu seemed to be in disbelief, blinked her tears, and asked her, "Does my sister really have the heart to plan for me?" ”

Meng Xilan smiled: "Of course, when did I say that I didn't plan for my sister, it's just that Wei Yuanhou is a family business, and it is not suitable for my sister." There are many famous families in Beijing, and now that our Meng family is in the limelight, is my sister afraid that she will not find a good son-in-law in the future? ”

The more prestigious and prestigious the family, the more important it is to marry. Born in a family, no one can hide, the man has to study for the family and test the fame, and the daughter has to seek connections for the family and marry another woman.

Meng Xichu listened to Meng Xilan's words, and couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart, his eyebrows bent, and he laughed.

Zhu Lu saw that Miss Xichu was crying and laughing for a while, and secretly shook her head in her heart: What a city house. But after only three or five sentences, she couldn't hold her breath.

After Meng Xichu left, Zhulu packed up the tea bowl and asked, "Master, are you really planning to plan for Miss Chu?" ”

Meng Xilan was stunned by her question, and stared at her: "Of course, why do you think I'm coaxing her?" ”

"No...... The slave just thinks that the master has to care about these things, why should he care? In fact, she also feels sorry for her master, who always worries about others and never cares about herself.

"I don't care, who's going to care? My grandmother was too old to work hard. Erniang is quite a little childish, she can call the shots in small things, and she is also a person who has no idea about big things, not to mention the eldest uncle and second uncle, they are all idle lazy people, who will only enjoy themselves and will not worry. If Xi Qiao Xi Chu really counted on them, he would definitely marry a non-human. After Meng Xilan said these words quietly, Zhu Lu suddenly felt a little sad, and regretted after being busy: "It's the slave who talks too much...... The master is thoughtful, and the slave and maid should not talk nonsense. ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "It's okay, you're just worried about me." ”

"Master, in three days, we will go back to the palace, so you can take advantage of these few days to hide and relax."

When Meng Xilan heard this, she looked thoughtfully at the beautiful sunset outside the window: "Yes, I'm afraid there won't be much more leisurely time like this in the future." ”

Zhulu stopped talking, turned around and looked at her quietly, feeling inexplicably melancholy.

Three days later, Meng Xilan set off to return to the palace, and after returning to the palace, the first news she heard was about Zhou Youchen, who had been silent for a long time......

Ever since the Changqing Palace began to be haunted, the rumors in the harem about Concubine Xiao's death in vain have not been broken...... Although Queen Su had the heart to calm down at this time, she was very taboo in her heart after all.

Zhou Shixian was also injured by a nightmare for the sake of haunting, and then dreamed of Concubine Xiao several times, so that he was uneasy and almost injured his body. However, inside and outside the court, it was an eventful time at this time, which made him exhausted.

Now, Zhou Youlin escaped death, the disaster in Changzhou has calmed down, Zhou Shixian can finally calm down, think about it, and finally, he made a decision that shocked everyone, he included Zhou Youchen's name in the imperial genealogy, and allowed him to place the spiritual seat of his deceased mother Concubine Xiao in the Changqing Palace.

A tablet, a long incense, and a name engraved into the imperial spectrum are all to appease Concubine Xiao's unjust soul.

Although Zhou Youchen was originally Zhou Shixian's ninth son, everyone in the palace knew that he was a "wild seed" who was not treated by the emperor, and no one regarded him as a master, and even some people felt that his situation was not as good as a slave.

Meng Xilan sat in the sedan chair, thinking about this matter in her heart, and in addition to being surprised, she also had doubts.

Zhou Shixian never believed that Zhou Youchen was his biological son, and even ignored him when he heard that he was bullied by the palace people, how could he easily write his name into the family tree now...... There must be something strange in this!

With the Queen Mother out of the palace, it has been less than a month since she went back and forth, and what happened in the palace during this period, Meng Xilan couldn't wait to know.

Zhou Youchen...... Meng Xilan still hadn't remembered this name for a long time.

Now, she doesn't know whether he is good or bad......

Gao Fuli has been following his master for so long, so he naturally knows what is on his master's mind, and without waiting for her orders, he began to walk around, sounding openly and secretly.

There are no absolute secrets in the palace, as long as someone knows, they will be inquired about, Gao Fuli ran all day, and finally put together the things of the past few days.

It turned out that Zhou Shixian had asked the imperial doctor to test him and Zhou Youchen's blood before.
