After coming out of the East Fourth Institute, Meng Xilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's only the first day, and she's seen so many people already.

Xiao Dongzi sent them out to make a sedan chair, and kept covering his chest, but he kicked it very lightly, and it probably hurt.

Meng Xilan looked at it, and before getting into the car, she poured out two pieces of broken silver from her purse and asked Zhulu to hand it to him.

Zhulu agreed.

Xiao Dongzi looked at the silver, then at the bamboo dew, grinned, and made a gesture at Meng Xilan from afar.

In her previous life, she never cared too much about the people and things around her, but this time she not only had to remember each of herself, but also distinguish them clearly, to see whether they were enemies or friends, useful or useless?

In the evening, snow suddenly fell outside.

After a long day's work, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After a busy day with her, Zhuqing and Zhulu were so tired that they couldn't stand.

Meng Xilan asked them to go down and rest, there were a lot of people waiting in the house, just let those little palace maids come over and recognize their faces.

However, Mama Kong didn't let the palace maid come to serve, and personally brought a cup of tea. "Girl, please use tea, girl has worked hard today."

The corners of Meng Xilan's mouth flashed with a smile: "There is Mama Lao." I was in a car and a sedan all day, and it wasn't hard work. ”

It's okay on the body, but I think about too many things and I'm tired.

"The old slave heard that the girl went to the East Fourth Institute today, and she was playing chess with the Fourth Highness." Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative.

Meng Xilan put down the tea bowl and said lightly: "That's right, Her Royal Highness the princess wants to go to Chunqiu, and Her Royal Highness deliberately released water to let me win, just to fulfill the princess." ”

She avoided the important and explained the whole story.

Mama Kong paused, then offered her mouthwash, and when she was ready, she spoke slowly. "The princess is the queen mother's hand in her hand, innocent, and there are no taboos. Therefore, his words and deeds have always been bold, and in the future, when he asked the girl to accompany the princess, he could remind him more on the side. ”

There are not many words, but there are a lot of extraneous voices.

Meng Xilan listened carefully, her eyes sank slightly, and she said lightly: "I listened to Mama's words." It's just that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, some things should be said, and some things should not be said, and I can only do my best. ”

She originally wanted to say that there was a difference between master and servant, but she felt that it was too sharp, and then eased up.

Mama Kong is also an understanding person, her face is still faint, there is no expression, and she continued: "It's good that the girl is willing to do her best, don't blame the old slave for talking too much, the old slave is also thinking about the girl." ”

Meng Xilan smiled and said, "Of course I know, Mama, please take a seat." Actually, today...... There's one thing I'd like to ask you. ”

Mama Kong hurriedly sat down, "Girl, please speak." ”

Obviously I minded, but I wrote lightly: "It's also an accident, when I entered the palace during the day, I met a person on the way to Cining Palace......"

As soon as the words came to this, Mama Kong lowered her eyelids, hiding the complexity under her eyes, and frowned slightly.

Meng Xilan pretended not to see it, and continued: "I don't think that child is very old, only seven or eight years old...... Gong Lu sent him back to the Changqing Palace, so I want to ask Mama, who lives in the Changqing Palace now? ”

She knew that Mama Kong was very well-informed. Since she can know that she has won the Fourth Highness, there is no reason not to know that she met Zhou Youchen.

Mama Kong frowned, raised her eyes to look at her bright and clear eyes, and didn't think she was deliberately trying to commit a taboo.

"There are many taboos in the palace. It stands to reason that the old slave shouldn't talk too much about this matter, but the girl lives in the palace now, so naturally she has to know the taboos in the palace, so the old slave made an exception this time. ”

Although this matter is a taboo in the palace and is not allowed to be passed on privately, as long as it is someone who has been in the palace, sooner or later will know about it. Instead of letting her know from someone else's mouth, let her speak.

Mama Kong sent the palace maids away, leaving her alone.

"Don't hide it from the girl, today's Changqing Palace is a cold palace, and all the people who have been convicted and punished live in it, and there is nothing worth noting. As for the kid...... He is the ninth son of the current emperor. ”

"He's the prince!" Meng Xilan's eyes widened, she covered her mouth exaggeratedly, and said in an uneasy tone: "Then didn't I make a big mistake, when we met today, I didn't salute him." ”

When it's time to act, you still have to act.

Mama Kong hurriedly said comfort: "The girl doesn't need to panic, in fact, the ...... Although the emperor gave him a name, he has not given him any title so far, nor has his name been included in the genealogy, so you don't have to salute him. ”

"Really?" Meng Xilan couldn't believe it, but she felt that it was the truth.

How could a legitimate royal child be bullied by the palace people like this? Isn't that a break in the face of the royal family?

Since Mama Kong opened her mouth, she would not deliberately hide it, "The biological mother of the Nine Emperor Princes, Ashina, is a Turkic, and soon after entering the palace, she secretly escaped from the palace and disappeared. After that, Ashina was sent back to the capital by the clansmen, but she was already pregnant in her belly. A few months later, Ashina gave birth to the Nine Emperor Sons, and the emperor was happy and ordered to be crowned concubines. But ......" At this, her brow furrowed even tighter.

Meng Xilan listened carefully, knowing that after this "but", there must be an earth-shattering event.

"After the full moon of the Nine Emperor Princes, the emperor suddenly became suspicious of the Ashina clan, suspecting that the Nine Emperor Princes were not of royal blood. Later, Ashina was demoted to a waste and imprisoned in the Changqing Palace, and she died of illness not long after. After the death of Ashina, the emperor sent someone to place the Nine Emperor Princes in the Changqing Palace, and from then on, he didn't care about it, and left him to fend for himself......"

Hearing this, Meng Xilan's whole person was stunned.

Unexpectedly, there was such a scandal hidden behind the child.

She shook her head slightly, feeling incredible.

"Since the emperor is suspicious of the life experience of the Nine Emperor Princes, why don't he ...... What about conviction together? ”

When Mama Kong heard this, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a smile of unknown meaning.

"The royal bloodline cannot be flawed. If the Nine Emperor Princes are really condemned, then everyone in the world will know that he is not the emperor's biological flesh and blood. ”

The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, not to mention, this is the scandal of the emperor's family.

Regardless of whether Zhou Youchen is of royal blood or not, it is impossible for the emperor to deny him, he would rather leave him in the palace and let everyone guess with all their hearts, rather than let people implement the evidence of the royal family's shame.

It's so tangled...... It's complicated......

Meng Xilan's temples tightened, and she couldn't help but hold her head and let out a slight sigh.

Mama Kong looked at her and said solemnly: "The old slave has already told the girl the ins and outs of the matter. The girl is a smart person, and she must know what is important. In the future, the place in the Changqing Palace, including the people inside, you should try to avoid it. ”

Stay away...... Yes, no one can afford to provoke such trouble.
