The carriage was prepared outside the Zhenguo Mansion, and the eldest lady Li carefully dressed up and took Ye Zhiwei out of the mansion.

Before leaving, Zhenguo Gong told her: "Wei'er enters the palace, as an elder, you should take care of her everywhere." ”

Although Li was reluctant, she could only respond.

Until now, the emperor has not approved Ye Dongzhou's father-in-law position, so there is still no grade on the Li family, and the number of times she has been to the palace in the past is also very small, and this time it can be regarded as taking advantage of Ye Zhiwei's light.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and the maid who accompanied the car stepped forward to help Li get out of the car, handed the palace card in, and immediately prepared a sedan chair for the inner attendant, and Li and Ye Zhiwei got on the sedan chair and went straight to the second palace gate.

Along the way, Li's heart was like holding a noodle drum, and he kept beating non-stop.

This is the first time I heard that the palace is going to summon a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and I don't know what the emperor has in mind.

The sedan chair stopped, and further on, it had to go on its own.

Li and Ye Zhiwei got off the sedan chair and were led into the garden by the waiter.

Li peeked at Ye Zhiwei from time to time, only to see that her eyes were drooping, and she didn't seem to be interested in the surrounding scenery at all, which was completely in line with the etiquette requirements of the palace.

They were walking forward, when they suddenly heard the voice of the palace maid overhead: "Is it the eldest lady of the Zhenguo Mansion?" ”

As soon as Li Shi looked up, he saw two women sitting in the pavilion on the stone steps, and the figures were not real, and a palace maid was poking her head out and looking down.

Seeing this, the chamberlain hurriedly replied, "Exactly." ”

The palace maid said, "Let them come up, the mother wants to meet them." ”

The eldest lady's heart couldn't help jumping.

Empress? I don't know which lady in the harem......

The waiter didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led them up the steps, came to the pavilion and saluted: "The slave has seen the queen mother, Concubine Li. ”

Is it the Queen?

The eldest lady was happy in her heart, the uncle Ye Dongzhou belonged to the princeling family, and it seemed that this was all a family.

She thought happily, but then she remembered that when she first saw the queen mother, she had hinted that she was looking for a piece of jade in Min's hand, but she didn't expect that after so many years, she still hadn't found it.

I don't know if the queen still remembers this incident and whether she blames herself for it.

The two of them saluted, then stood aside.

The queen and Concubine Li sat in the gazebo, with a few fruits and snacks on the table.

The queen was wearing a bright red embroidered gold eight-treasure makeup gown, with a nine-winged phoenix hairpin on her head, a long red gold chain hanging down, and a dragon's eye big dong pearl embedded at the end, which made a subtle sound as she turned her head.

Ye Zhiwei only glanced at the queen quickly when she stood up, and then kept her head down.

What is the color of this woman's heart, she knows it all too well.

Whether in the past life or in this life, there is an inextricable and inextricable relationship between them, but unfortunately, in this life, I will not let the jade pieces fall into your hands again no matter what.

Ye Zhiwei secretly sneered in her heart, but there was a deferential expression on her face, and even her breathing seemed extraordinarily calm.

The queen looked at her for a long time, and gave an appreciative "um", "Is it the third lady from the Zhenguo Mansion?" Keep your head up. ”

Ye Zhiwei paused, slowly raised her head, looked at the queen with dark eyes, pursed her cherry lips, and showed a shallow smile, just like many scheming girls, smiling innocently and cutely.

The queen suddenly sighed: "I think that at the beginning, when this child first followed his grandfather and wife into the palace, he was only so big, and he grew so big in a blink of an eye." ”

"It's not, it's a pity that the grandfather and wife are no longer there......," Concubine Li said quietly.

Ye Zhiwei turned her gaze to Concubine Li, she was wearing a peach-colored Ruyi gown, holding a Feiyun bun, her eyebrows were like smoke, and her crystal red lips were like cherries.

"If this palace remembers well...... The third lady seems to have a marriage contract with His Royal Highness. The queen seemed to mention it unintentionally.

Concubine Li pretended to be surprised and raised her eyebrows, "Don't you say that the concubines almost forgot." ”

Ye Zhiwei listened to their conversation quietly, but she couldn't help sneering in her heart, and the women in the palace didn't have a word of sincerity.

Her biological mother, Min, has been dead for so many years, and they are still pretending to be sad here.

"How old is Miss Three this year?" The Empress asked Lee.

Li replied: "Thirteen. ”

"It will take two more years to reach the ......," the queen groaned, looking at Concubine Li, "The king of England is not married yet, is he?" ”

Concubine Li smiled slightly, "Yes, the seat of the main concubine is still vacant, and there are only two noble concubines in the mansion now." "As a prince, even if there are a few concubines in the mansion, it is normal.

"Oh......" The queen sighed with deep meaning in her eyebrows, "It's a pity. ”

Concubine Li looked at the queen suspiciously.

"What? Haven't you heard the rumors in the palace lately? The queen glanced at Ye Zhiwei, "Ye Zhiwei, the concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion, is in a bad mood...... Kill Grandpa Ye. ”

Concubine Li's face turned slightly pale, and she smiled reluctantly: "How is this possible...... It's just a rumor. ”

Li stood aside, his eyes flickering, and his heart blossomed.

Apparently the queen is on her side.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and the afterglow fell on Ye Zhiwei's body, slightly proud.

has been suppressed by this girl for so long, and this is the first time she feels so happy.

Don't think that you can sit back and relax if you have a marriage contract with the King of England, as long as the grandfather's position comes, you will be nothing, honestly get out of the Zhenguo Mansion!

"I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo has handed over an excerpt to the emperor, and he wants to pass the grandfather's position to the eldest son Ye Dongzhou." The queen said and glanced at the Li family, "What Bengong said is right, right?" ”

"That's right, that's right." Li nodded hurriedly.

Concubine Li's expression was a little gloomy.

In fact, since she heard the news of Ye Huai'an's disappearance in the palace, she has already had the idea of retiring from the Zhenguo Mansion.

Unlike the other princes, Concubine Li's maiden family does not have any power, so the position of the king's concubine is particularly important.

In the past, she would choose Ye Zhiwei, also because of the military power in the northwest in the hands of the Zhenguo Mansion.

But right now, Ye Zhiwei is helpless, even if she marries the King of England, after the position of grandfather is passed to Ye Dongzhou, the military power in the northwest has nothing to do with the King of England.

So these days, she has been thinking about how to get the king to quit her family.

Just as the queen mentioned this, Concubine Li took advantage of the situation to make a surprised gesture, "This ...... This is a big deal...... she looked at Li Shi and said, "I wonder if you have asked the monk to help her take a look?" ”

In fact, as early as when Ye Zhiwei made a marriage contract with the King of England, she had already seen Ye Zhiwei's birthday, and Qin Tianjian had also seen it, and she didn't say anything about it.

Li nodded with a bitter face, looking embarrassed.

She was not afraid that Ye Zhiwei would open her mouth to refute, because the queen was obviously facing her at the moment.

But to her surprise, Ye Zhiwei didn't say anything, not even the slightest displeasure.

This girl...... You can't come up with any more ideas, do you?

Li Shi thought, but then thought about it, this is in the palace, how dare she make a mistake, she must be afraid in her heart, so she didn't dare to speak.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the shrill voice of the waiter under the pavilion: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
