Chapter 332: Foresight
Jing'er was on an errand in the palace, but it was only half a year. She doesn't know much about the things in the palace, and it is precisely because she doesn't know much that she will be arranged to serve by Zhang Rong'er's side.
Zhang Ronger pretended to be crazy and stupid, not harming herself, but harming the people around her.
The palace people who served by Zhang Rong'er's side were either severely punished and thrown out of the palace as cripples, or they were assigned to the hardest places in the palace to do chores.
Jing'er followed Zhang Rong'er for less than three months, and it was not easy to figure out her temper.
Listening to the master talk about the past of the queen's mother, for her, a newcomer, is indeed very curious.
Today's palace lady, but a woman who has served the emperors of the two dynasties, although she is not very old, has seen the cruelty and bloodiness of the original battle for succession.
Now she is pampered and rich, and she has the prince by her side, and the entire harem is in her hands, and even the emperor is wholeheartedly devoted to her.
Such a woman is really curious.
Seeing her curious, Zhang Rong'er couldn't help but smile coldly: "It's better for you not to ask, lest the more you know in the future, the faster you will die." ”
Jing'er was slightly stunned when she saw her master mention the word "death", and then smiled and said, "Niangniang, don't scare the slave." ”
Zhang Rong'er closed the scripture in front of her and said in a deep voice: "The palace didn't scare you, the blood on the hands of the queen mother is enough to finish copying this scripture." ”
Jing'er shuddered when she heard this.
Zhang Rong'er looked back at her and saw that her face turned white with fright.
"Look at your guts, how can you follow the palace back to the palace?"
"Mother, is the queen really that terrible? Jing'er asked cautiously.
Zhang Rong'er got up and moved her muscles and said, "Don't worry, when you return to the palace, you will see our queen mother." ”
Jing'er bit her lip vigorously when she heard this.
What kind of person is the queen mother, will she be a demon girl who eats people and does not spit out bones?
Zhang Rong'er came to the window and tightened the cloak on her body.
Although it is already spring, the wind in this night is still very cold.
She looked out at the deserted courtyard and was slightly distracted.
What will be her situation when she returns to the palace? Although Meng Xilan spared her life, she had blocked all her paths.
Grace, heir, honor, Meng Xilan cut off Song Wenxiu's head, and also broke her idea of competing for favor.
Zhang Rong'er raised her eyes and stared at the moon in the sky, and said secretly in her heart: The moon is cloudy and sunny, and people have joys and sorrows.
Meng Xilan, when will your good luck run out?
I don't believe that people will be lucky for a lifetime! Meng Xilan, sooner or later you will meet your nemesis, no matter how late it is, you will always meet you.
Under the hazy moonlight, Zhang Ronger repeatedly confided one thing in her heart.
She knew that she would not be Meng Xilan's opponent, so she didn't want anything else, she only hoped that the person who could deal with Meng Xilan could appear earlier. She wanted to see with her own eyes how she fell from a great height, how she fell into a miserable situation.
It backfired, and three days later, the palace did not send anyone to pick up Zhang Rong'er back to the palace.
She was neatly dressed and waited quietly for news from the palace at the appointed hour.
However, half a day passed, a day passed, and there was no news from the palace.
Zhang Rong'er didn't take it seriously at first, she thought that the people in the palace were snub to her, the nominal master. But after waiting for a whole day, she still couldn't help but panic.
In the evening, when the master of the temple came to bring her dinner.
Zhang Rong'er asked her if the abbot had anything to say?
The nun also knew what to expect, bowed her head and said, "Niangniang, master, she didn't say anything, she only told Niangniang, the spring is cold, please take care of your body." ”
Zhang Rong'er heard the meaning of these words: "When will the palace return to the palace?" ”
"Niangniang, the poor nun is just a monk and doesn't know anything."
After she said this, she silently withdrew.
Zhang Rong'er felt cold for a while, not knowing whether to be afraid or anxious.
What does Meng Xilan mean? Is she going to trap her here for the rest of her life?
However, and her suspicious anxiety will not affect the stability of the palace in the slightest.
The spring in the capital is bright, and the disaster in Sizhou City has also been controlled, and Zhou Youchen can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
However, there were still too many political affairs in the previous dynasty, so much so that he had no time to take care of the harem, and could only occasionally take time to see Meng Xilan and Changsheng.
Mrs. Meng has often come to the palace to visit Meng Xilan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently.
Changsheng had already begun to babble, but it was just a few simple words.
However, this alone made the old lady very happy.
Because there were no outsiders present, she hugged Changsheng and kissed him, Changsheng was slightly unhappy and pouted.
Seeing this, the old lady hurriedly put him down.
Zhulu carried him back to the cot and let him lie down.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is growing up so fast, the last time I saw him, the old body still hugged him. Today, however, it is already struggling. Mrs. Meng sat down with a smile, "I really can't accept the old man." ”
Meng Xilan smiled: "Don't talk about you, grandmother, now even the palace is about to hold him." ”
"That's good, the stronger the child grows, the healthier he is."
As he spoke, Carefree walked in from outside.
"Mother, I picked a little flower for my brother."
When Mrs. Meng saw her, her eyes flickered slightly, but the smile on her face did not diminish in the slightest.
Wuwu took a pink begonia flower and came to Meng Xilan, only saying, "Niangniang, do you look good?" ”
Meng Xilan nodded with a smile: "Go and show Changsheng, he must like it." ”
Wuwu put Xiaohua in front of Changsheng's eyes, shook it slowly, and asked softly, "Brother, is it good-looking?" ”
Changsheng now likes to stuff everything directly into his mouth, and he reaches out to touch the flower, as if he wants to put it in his mouth as well.
Zhulu hurriedly stopped it, but who knows, his hand was too strong, and he accidentally kneaded the flowers.
Carefree was slightly disappointed, but she was an optimist by nature, and then turned around and ran out: "I'll go pick another one for my brother." ”
Old Madam Meng's gaze kept following her, and her expression was slightly heavy.
"Grandmother." Meng Xilan called her softly and brought her back to her senses.
The old lady pondered for a moment before she said, "This child has grown up a lot. ”
"Well, she has indeed grown up and knows how to take care of her younger brother."
The old lady frowned sensitively: "Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest son of the emperor, and his identity is not trivial." And worry-free...... The daughter of a thief in the end. ”
Meng Xilan raised her hand to stop her from continuing.
"Grandmother, we have discussed the matter. She is Zhou Youping's daughter, yes, but she is also Chu Jingwen's daughter, you don't know how similar she is to Jingwen. ”
"Niangniang's decision, the old body has no right to interfere. The old body just doesn't want the mother to be too soft-hearted, no matter how much the child looks like Jingwen, she is not Jingwen. Blood can't deceive people, and she still has the blood of thieves in her body. ”
"Grandmother......" Meng Xilan had to interrupt her again, after all, Carefree was outside, and she didn't want her to hear a word that she shouldn't have heard.
Old Mrs. Meng stopped talking at the right time and nodded: "Okay, the old body is not verbose." ”
Meng Xilan gave Zhulu and Zhuqing a look, and they quickly understood and took the children to the courtyard.
Only she and her grandmother were left in the house, and Meng Xilan simply opened her heart and said: "Grandmother, Wuwu is a good child, and it doesn't matter who her biological father is to this palace at all." What this palace cares about is her, how should she grow up, how should she live? This palace is too deserted, Changsheng needs an older sister, and Wuwu also needs a younger brother, they can grow up together, and even become each other's dependence. ”
Mrs. Meng raised her eyebrows: "His Royal Highness the Prince's reliance, isn't it you?" ”
The mother is precious by the son, and the son is honored by the mother, this is the right reason.
When Meng Xilan heard this, the expression on her face became heavy: "If you want Changsheng to grow up safely and ascend to the throne smoothly, he can't only have me and the emperor by his side. ”
The old lady was a little puzzled: "Behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince there is the Meng family." ”
No matter what happens in the future, the Meng family will unconditionally support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
"It's not enough to have the Meng family, it's far from enough." Meng Xilan said in a heavy tone.
People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries. In the future, they still have a big game of chess to play.
Hearing this, the old lady finally understood something.
"Niangniang, do you really decide that the Chu family still cares about this child?"
Meng Xilan's face softened slightly, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, and she smiled: "Wuwu is just a child now, naturally no one cares about her." But when she grows up, she becomes the person next to the prince, and the people of the Chu family will care about her. ”
In any case, carefree is a royal bloodline, all the time.
"Mother, what the hell do you want to worry about? If you need to find a playmate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no one is more suitable than the children of the Meng family. ”
Meng Xilan shook her head: "No, worry-free is not the prince's playmate, she is the prince's sister." ”
At this point, Mrs. Meng didn't know what to say.
She seemed to understand her intentions, but she didn't seem to understand them at all.
Meng Xilan read her incomprehension and uneasiness from her face.
"Grandmother, you have always believed in this palace, since you believe it, you don't need to worry about it."
She wanted to give her a reassuring pill to eat, but she had to swallow it.
Her uneasiness, the uneasiness of the Meng family, cannot be calmed down overnight.
Old Lady Meng was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
"Of course, Niangniang has always been thoughtful, and there is no need to worry about the old body. Old ...... Xu is old, caring is chaotic, and the old body has become a lot more verbose, and I hope that the mother is not strange. ”
Meng Xilan took the initiative to hold her hand and said, "Grandmother, don't say such things, this palace will never blame you." ”
They did have a disagreement with each other, but when Changsheng was born, she felt a lot more relieved.
The old lady shook her hand back: "The old body is grateful. ”
Meng Xilan immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about something easy now, how about it?" ”
