Meng Xilan dressed up decently to greet the Queen Mother, and halfway, Zhou Youning saw her and said with a look of surprise: "Sister is so good-looking today." ”

Meng Xilan pursed her lips lightly and smiled silently.

In front of the palace gate, Gonggong Lu came out to greet her with a whisk, and when he saw her dressed, he knew that she had understood it thoroughly, and he hurriedly looked at Meng Xilan with approving eyes, and said to Zhou Youning respectfully: "Princess Wanfu Jin'an, King Wenjun is here, and he is talking to Niangniang at this time." ”

Hearing that Zhou Shili was also there, Meng Xilan thought secretly in her heart. After the crown prince lost power, his ambitions began to move. The number of times we will meet in the future will definitely be indispensable.

Meng Xilan took a deep breath and reminded herself to be restrained, not to show any flaws, and to startle the snake. This time, she wants to make Zhou Shili lose all the way and lose completely.

The Queen Mother sat on the white plum carved soft couch, and when she saw Meng Xilan's appearance, she was taken aback, and immediately put aside Zhou Shili, who was shushing herself, and stared at Meng Xilan intently, as if time had suddenly returned to twenty years ago......

Meng Xilan originally looked six or seven points similar to Princess Wen'an, but now she is dressed up according to her appearance, and she looks like ninety percent, which can almost be fake.

Zhou Shili was slightly surprised when he saw that the Queen Mother had lost her mind, and her eyes fell on Meng Xilan's body, and she couldn't help but move in her heart.

The last time I saw her, it was already eye-catching. This goodbye is even more amazing. Also, her eyes, obviously different from last time, have revealed some shrewdness.

The Queen Mother's heart moved, her breathing was unsteady, she lowered her head and coughed with a handkerchief, Meng Xilan hurriedly stepped forward to beat her back, and said with concern: "Niangniang, are you okay?" Do you want Imperial Doctor Xuan to come and take a look? ”

The Queen Mother looked at her, her eyes paused, and then she said, "The mourning family is fine." With that, he pointed to the palace maids, and they gave the two of them a seat.

Zhou Youning sat on the left side of the bed, and Meng Xilan sat at the end of the bed, which happened to be on the side with Zhou Shili.

For the sake of thoroughness, Zhou Shili still asked people to invite the imperial doctor.

When the imperial doctor was checking the pulse, Meng Xilan accompanied Zhou Youning to retreat. Behind the outer screen, there is a red-lacquered solid wood table with a chair next to each table. Zhou Youning and Zhou Shili were divided into two sides, and Meng Xilan stood quietly. Although it wasn't facing Zhou Shili's face, she could still feel his gaze. She could probably guess what he was thinking, probably either hitting the Queen Mother's idea or her own.

He should have gone back a long time ago, but he deliberately stayed and didn't leave, he must have been waiting for the emperor.

Recently, the queen mother's health is not happy, and the emperor often comes to take a look after the early dynasty has dealt with political affairs.

Above the court, Zhou Shili has always kept a low profile, and now because of the prince, he has to take precautions for himself.

After about a cup of tea, I heard the eunuch outside shouting, "The emperor has arrived", Meng Xilan smiled and rushed out with everyone to greet him.

The emperor hurriedly walked straight to the dormitory, completely ignoring Zhou Shili's existence. On the contrary, it was Meng Xilan who made him pay more attention.

But even if he cared, it was only a faint glance, and a trace of surprise and surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Queen mother, you must take care of the phoenix, your son is busy with government affairs at the moment, and he can't personally serve your left and right, and his son is not filial......"

The queen mother held the emperor's hand and muttered: "Don't say that, the emperor, it's all the old bones of the mourning family that are useless." The emperor is right to put political affairs first......" After speaking, her eyes drifted to Meng Xilan, and a smile appeared on her face: "The emperor can rest assured, with them by the side of the mourning family, the mourning family is very comfortable." For the sake of our Beiyan, for the sake of the emperor, the mourning family will have to live for a few more years. ”

The emperor's expression was slightly condensed when he heard this, and he followed her gaze, looked at the clever and lovely Zhou Youning, and then looked at the docile Meng Xilan.

"As long as the queen mother is healthy, the son's heart will be steady."

The palace maids sent the boiled medicine, and the emperor took it himself, but was dissuaded by the queen mother: "The emperor should not be contaminated with these medicines, it is unlucky." ”

As soon as Zhou Youning smelled the medicine, he took two steps back.

Meng Xilan stepped forward at the right time: "Let the folk girl come to serve the mother with medicine." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes lit up slightly, and she nodded and said yes.

Meng Xilan knelt on the side of the couch, picked up the spoon, served the Queen Mother to drink medicine, looked obedient and respectful, fed the medicine and rinsed her mouth and handed the handkerchief, all the actions were done in one go, showing her good demeanor of all the ladies and gentlemen.

Seeing that the Queen Mother was fine, the emperor sat down for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

Zhou Shili followed out, who knows, only two sentences, before he had time to describe the matter, the emperor cut him off impatiently and said: "Shili, I still have to discuss the war in the northwest border with several ministers. You go back first, what's the matter, Ming'er will hand over the fold first. ”

Zhou Shili's eyes darkened, and he hurriedly bowed his head and responded: "Yes, my brother understands." ”

Meng Xilan happened to see this scene, and she had a better idea of Zhou Shili's current situation.

After the emperor left, everything was as usual, but everyone's mood was already different.

Meng Xilan took Zhou Youning's arm and walked over unhurriedly, as if she hadn't seen anything. "Princess, it's time to go to the study to review."

Zhou Youning muttered in a low voice: "Sister, are we lazy today?" ”

Meng Xilan shook her head and said nothing.

When Zhou Shili turned his head again, there was already a faint smile on his face.

"Uncle Cousin." Zhou Youning behaved very kindly to him.

Zhou Shili took a slender moire brocade box from his arms and gave it to Zhou Youning with a smile, "This is the brush of Shu Yaxuan that I asked someone to bring back from Suzhou." ”

There are two finely made, carved and engraved brushes in the brocade box, which is very elegant.

Zhou Youning smiled and said, "There are exactly two, one for my sister and I, thank you Uncle Cousin." After speaking, he took the brocade box to Meng Xilan.

Meng Xilan blessed the blessing lightly, looked indifferent, and politely said thank you to Zhou Shili.

This is his best trick, using a little favor to buy people's hearts.

Zhou Shili didn't notice her coldness, and continued: "I heard that the girl has a good hand, and if she has a chance in the future, can you let me see it." ”

Meng Xilan smiled slightly: "How dare you show off the little skills of the folk girl carving insects in front of the well-informed prince." Therefore, it's better not to be ugly ...... the people's daughters" After speaking, she looked at Zhou Youning again and admonished: "Princess, the hour is not early." ”

She knows very well that Zhou Shili's personality, the less she cares about him, the more he will care. Men have an innate desire to conquer in their bones, and what she wants to do is to provoke Zhou Shili's ambition.

She wanted to make his heart tickle, but she couldn't ask for it.

Zhou Shili stood in place, watching the two walk away, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

Who knows, Meng Xilan walked through the door of the weeping flowers, and suddenly looked back at him, her pink lips pursed lightly, her eyebrows and eyes smiled, and her soft and lovely appearance was wonderful.

Zhou Shili couldn't help but be in a trance for a while, and when he wanted to take a closer look, the beauty was long gone.
