The queen mother's decree not only shocked the harem, but also made waves in the previous dynasty. Moreover, many people think that this matter is inappropriate.

After nightfall, Zhou Shixian personally went to Cining Palace to visit the Queen Mother.

Under the candlelight, the room was silent, and after Zhou Shixian sat down, he didn't speak for a long time.

"Queen Mother...... Although the child of the Meng family has high qualifications, he is not from the royal family, and it is not easy to be named the title of "princess", so how about being named "county lord"? ”

The Queen Mother groaned slightly, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever begged for anything in your life?" ”

Zhou Shixian was quite surprised, and after thinking about it, he said, "I don't remember......"

The Queen Mother slowly stretched out a finger, "Once, the mourning family only begged the emperor once, for Changle's marriage." ”

Zhou Shixian's face changed instantly when he heard this, and he unconsciously turned the jade wrench finger in his hand. "Queen Mother...... I was also very sad about Changle's death, but I had a hard time. ”

Changle is his own sister, how can he not be sad? It's just that, for some reason, every time she thinks of Changle, her face is always blurry.

The Queen Mother's eyes were empty and she didn't look at the expression on Zhou Shixian's face, but his voice was full of sadness.

"Your Majesty, the mourning family doesn't blame you, the mourning family only blames themselves. After Changle was gone, the mourning family had never been truly happy in their hearts, and now, God returned "her" to the mourning family, and the mourning family didn't want to lose her again. The Queen Mother's tone was very melancholy. Just beg you again......"

"Queen Mother......" Hearing her say this, Zhou Shixian's heart couldn't help but feel a little sore. Okay, I understand, just do what the queen mother wants, as long as the queen mother is happy. ”

……

See, the breath of spring is approaching day by day.

Meng Xilan, who "does not die in a catastrophe", does almost nothing except rest every day.

Now, everyone in the palace is talking about her, saying that she is flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, but overnight, she has become the proud daughter of the sky with royal glory.

Her good luck not only surprised and jealous the people of the Sixth Palace, but also caused a sensation in the upper social circle of the capital.

As soon as the bead curtain moved, he hit the high welfare who came back from outside, and couldn't wait to tell the master about the outside affairs. But Meng Xilan didn't seem to be interested, just sat on the couch with the book in her hand, watched quietly, and stayed.

Seeing that her interest was faint, Gao Fuli, who was a little uncontrollable, hurriedly stopped his mouth, and asked cautiously: "Master, do you still have anything on your mind?" Minions, why aren't you so upset? ”

The commoner was crowned and became a princess, which is a great joy that is rare in a hundred years.

Meng Xilan's voice was slightly lowered: "Happiness gives birth to sorrow, and sweetness produces bitterness." Besides, I'm still a sick person, and I was bedridden before, so now I'm jumping around with joy, isn't it suspicious? Let's keep a low profile and don't get too carried away. We've finally lost one trouble, so let's not get into a new one. ”

Gao Fuli was slightly stunned when he heard this, and quickly nodded: "Yes, the slave is not thinking about it again." ”

Meng Xilan flipped a page of the book and asked, "Do you know who else was in the family before Bai Ling entered the palace on an errand?" ”

Gao Fuli was stunned again: "The slave doesn't know, maybe ...... Mama Kong should be clear. ”

"Then you go and ask Mama, if there is anyone else in her family, give the money you prepared before to her family, and let them take care of the aftermath for her."

Because there was a reason for the incident, those palace maids who were killed by the rod could not even keep their corpses, and they were all thrown outside the palace and burned. Five people died, five lives, not a trivial matter. But it's only been a few days, and everything about them has disappeared without a trace.

Gao Welfare's expression was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, the master still remembers this incident.

Meng Xilan then waved his hand and asked him to go down, and he turned another page of the book, and suddenly felt that his eyes were sour, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Suddenly, a notice came from his ear: "Imperial Doctor Jiao is here." ”

Meng Xilan only said "um", did not get up, and did not open her eyes.

Slow footsteps sounded, one very light and one very heavy.

The stove is burning vigorously, so warm that people sweat slightly, Jiao Changqing can be regarded as prepared today.

After last night's incident, he had clearly understood that he had not only misjudged Meng Xilan before, but also looked down on her.

He had predicted her motives, thinking that it was just childish revenge between women, but he didn't expect that her scheming was so deep and her heart was so ruthless.

He raised his eyes and looked at Meng Xilan a few steps away.

She was half-lying on the soft couch, covered with a thick brocade quilt, her long hair was tied up at will, only a few strands of hair fell lightly on the side of her face, her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was asleep, and her expression was leisurely.

At this time, her identity has long been different.

Jiao Changqing had to step forward to say goodbye, and bowed, "Weichen asks Her Royal Highness the princess to say goodbye." ”

Meng Xilan slowly opened her eyes and replied with a smile: "Master Jiao, there is no need to be polite. I haven't been officially conferred yet, so I can't afford the title of "Her Royal Highness the Princess" for the time being, so you should call me "Miss Meng". ”

Jiao Changqing's handsome face was still as cold as ice, and he said in a flat tone: "The Queen Mother's decree is known to the six palaces, so Weichen has come to congratulate Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Meng Xilan's eyes turned slightly, and she pointed to the seat opposite: "Lord Jiao, please take a seat." ”

Jiao Changqing did not give in and sat down directly.

Meng Xilan's gaze swept over him, and then said gently; "At the urging of my lords, I did my best to resolve the matter. But it happened suddenly, and it still shocked the adults, I'm here, I will make amends to you first. ”

Her attitude made Jiao Changqing a little dissatisfied, and her long eyebrows were slightly raised: "Her Royal Highness the princess is polite, in a situation like last night, Weichen was also to protect himself." ”

She took advantage of him and put him in danger, and if the two sides didn't agree on it, then there was a dead end waiting for him.

Jiao Changqing's words were hidden in thorns, but they couldn't hurt Meng Xilan. "Adults are still blaming me, right? I'm sorry to have you accompany me on this adventure. However, there is a reason for the incident, I hope you will forgive me and bear with me. ”

"It's not an adventure, it's you who took advantage of me." Jiao Changqing refuted her in a categorical tone.

In fact, when such words came out of his own mouth, it felt a little embarrassing. He was actually used by a teenage girl like this. Moreover, it was not just as simple as using it, he even almost affected the reputation of the Jiao family for a hundred years for him.

Twenty-four years of life experience is not enough to match the calculations of a fourteen-year-old girl, and this extremely ironic situation is enough to make a man angry and angry.
