Yu Yan was still indulging in the fantasy that she was going to be tortured to death, but fortunately, the next person also went to Mrs. Meng to learn words, and the old lady heard that several little sons had offended Gongsun Jue, and Yu Yan was also on the side, worried about whether the bastard boy was going to bully Yu Yan, so she quickly set off.

Coincidentally, when Mrs. Meng arrived, she heard the words of Gongsun Jue and listened to Lan Linghe's words, and she was really worried that the two of them would 'pinch up', so she hurriedly shouted as she hurried forward: "Lord Wang! ”

Everyone looked back when they heard the voice, and when they saw the old lady coming, they hurriedly stepped back to make way for Mrs. Meng, and everyone asked the old lady to say goodbye, and even Gongsun Jue bowed down very politely when he saw Mrs. Meng, "The old lady is kind." ”

Mrs. Meng also returned the salute, she was smiling at first, but after she got up, she looked a little complaining, and said to Gongsun Jue: "The little concubine is the eldest princess's heart and soul, if you want to, you have to ask the eldest princess, even her father He Jingnian doesn't dare to make decisions in private, what is the use of you asking her uncle!" ”

"Mother!" As soon as Meng Shangqing heard this, he paused for a moment, and just called out, then Lan Linghe was also anxious, and was about to open her mouth to say something, but the old lady Meng raised her hand to stop it, "Besides, the little concubine is about to choose the crown princess, if the prince asks for the little concubine at this time, wouldn't he be slapping His Majesty in the face!" ”

Gongsun Jue was stunned for a moment, turned his face to look at Yu Yan, but he didn't expect that she was the daughter of the great general He Jingnian! The eldest princess is the granddaughter of Lan Huanzheng, the eldest princess of Zhongyuan!

No wonder, this speech is so unusual, different from the woman next to him.

"This king, I owe you a favor, after you return to Beijing, if you think of anything, you can come to the palace at any time to ask for it." Gongsun Jue didn't mention the stubble of the people again, let alone the little sons and their fathers, and left.

Meng Shangqing scattered everyone and went to the banquet, even if this matter has passed.

The banquet on the first day is not official, so some more powerful people have not arrived, for example, in addition to Gongsun Jue who is privately friendly with the Meng family, there are other royal people, Mrs. Meng is too old, naturally Empress Dowager Huo also sent someone, how to say that before Mrs. Meng left the cabinet, she and Empress Dowager Huo, who was also a girl, were close friends in the boudoir, so many years have passed, although she can't move around often, but the relationship is still so good.

And this time, the person who represents Mrs. Huo's birthday is His Royal Highness Gongsun Yan, who is about to choose a concubine.

In fact, he came this time, there is one more thing, that is, to take a good look at Meng Shunan, the eldest daughter of the Meng family, before leaving the palace, Empress Dowager Huo instructed Gongsun Yan that if she went to the Meng family and saw Meng Shunan's appearance and character, she would ask His Majesty to give Meng Shunan a special permission to choose the crown princess.

Although this Meng Shunan is the same age as Gongsun Yan, but it is beyond the age of the alternative, it stands to reason that it is no fun to choose the crown princess, but Empress Dowager Huo likes Meng Shunan, this girl's temperament and temperament she has long known, and she hopes that such a good girl can be the prince and concubine for the prince Sun Yan.

But no matter how you say it, the prince's wedding is not something that she, as the Empress Dowager Huo, can make full decisions. That's why I mentioned it to Gongsun Yan.

Gongsun Yan also understood in his heart that this time he chose a concubine, on the surface, he had to choose a concubine, but in fact, he had to accept people from all walks of life to please and win him over, because he needed these women, not physiologically or psychologically, but because of power and power, there are some relationships that cannot be missing, but those relationships that can connect those relationships are those women who are about to become his concubines.

Including Meng Shunan, who is about to meet, is also one of them, accepting Meng Shunan is equivalent to appeasing the Empress Dowager Huo, after all, the Empress Dowager Huo is not His Majesty's biological mother, to put it bluntly, she is not her own grandmother, but she raised Sun Jue, the prince who is side by side, from childhood to adulthood, speaking of feelings, as His Majesty's half-brother, she is more like Empress Dowager Huo's parent.
