Chapter 172, Meng Shu
Yan Zheng bowed his head slowly, "Actually, when Huixin was still alive, he liked this daughter of Qingninghou very much. The Marquis of Qingning lost his wife five years ago, and she has not renewed the strings over the years, so her daughter takes care of the affairs of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and it is also in order."
That's really a great managerial talent!
"What's that kid's name and what does he look like?" Yue Wangshu hurriedly asked.
"It's called Meng Shu, but her appearance is not beautiful." Yan Zheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, "Marrying a wife and seeking talent, Meng Shu's appearance is good, but it is enough."
Yue Wangshu: Let me ...... The second prince is at the age of lust and admiration, is he willing to marry a virtuous but not stunning woman?
"In this matter, the emperor has to communicate with the Meng family, and he also asked the second prince what he meant. When a man marries a woman, after all, you and I want to be the best." - Don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum!
Although Yan Zheng didn't agree with this, he didn't veto it, he thought about it slightly, and said, "Since Wangshu has said so, it is better to summon that little Meng to enter the palace, and you will personally palm your eyes."
Yue Wangshu's eyes widened, this kind of thing, how can she be responsible for the palm of the eye? But after thinking about it, anyway, it was not under the banner of choosing the princess, and when the time came, Chen Shuyuan was also called, his son was going to marry a daughter-in-law, so she had to take a look.
And that Meng Yuanqing, Yue Wangshu, as a noble concubine, of course couldn't see a foreign man, and he couldn't palm his eyes if he wanted to. However, it was good to ask the concubine to meet with him before he could make a decision.
"By the way, that Meng Yuanqing, if Liulang thinks it's okay, you might as well arrange for Concubine to meet him." Yue Wangshu is still more concerned about the marriage of the concubine. The second prince is a boy in the end, and he wants his daughter-in-law to enter the door in the future, so he is the one who takes advantage.
Yan Zheng's old face sank, obviously unhappy.
Yue Wangshu sighed: "The Meng family is not an outsider, my cousin and cousin are just meeting, so what's the matter?" - She still leaves the palace without moving...... Compared with the others, the eldest princess is really a little pitiful.
"Liulang~" Yue Wangshu couldn't help but tug at the placket of his clothes.
"Well, let's see it!" Yan Zheng still couldn't bear this little appearance in the end, "You, you're just too pampered."
Phew, your own daughter doesn't feel distressed, and I am not allowed to feel distressed?!
With the emperor's nod, the next thing is to arrange for the little girl of the Meng family to enter the palace, which is actually very simple, but it is just a matter of her concubine's words. But it was Chen Shuyuan, who breathed with her, and thanked her for a thousand thanks, so that Yue Wangshu was a little overwhelmed.
Three days later, the main hall of Yuanzhi Palace.
Chen Shuyuan came early in the morning dressed ceremoniously, looking nervous, not like a mother-in-law, but like a little daughter-in-law.
"You don't have to be nervous." Yue Wangshu asked someone to serve tea, "Today is to meet, in the end, the emperor has to decide."
"Yes, yes, yes!" How can Chen Shuyuan not be nervous, this is a big deal related to her son's wife, she never thought that she would be able to come in advance! In her eyes, the Meng family is very good, if the girl of the Meng family has half the virtuous lady of the previous queen, Chen Shuyuan will be satisfied.
And the emperor, since he asked the concubine Niangniang to summon this girl from the Meng family, and only summoned this one, I am afraid that it will be eight or nine and ten! gave birth to her, the biological mother of the second prince, and she is such an identity that can't be put on the stage...... For a while, Chen Shuyuan was a little shrunken. ….
"Yu Niangniang, Shu Yuan, Miss Meng has arrived, and she is waiting outside the hall at this moment." Li Yue smiled and came in to report.
Hearing this, Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but hurriedly straighten her clothes, as if she was afraid of losing her manners.
Yue Wangshu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Let her in."
Shaoqing, then saw a girl wearing a light blue jacket skirt walked in, the girl's eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, her eyes did not squint, she slowly stepped forward, and bowed, "The courtier Meng Shu sees the concubine Niangniang, may the Niangniang live a long life."
This salute is neat and neat, with his hands folded on the carpet and his white forehead gently falling on his hands.
"Get up!" Yue Wangshu sat upright on the throne, his tone as gentle as possible.
"Xie Niangniang!" The girl stood up neatly, but she still had her forehead
Hanging low, Yue Wangshu could only see the white forehead and a pair of slender willow eyebrows.
"Raise your head." This girl is polite, Yue Wang said comfortably.
So Meng Shu raised that little face, her face was like a silver plate, her complexion was fair, her facial features were elegant, and she looked delicate and square. Yue Wangshu breathed a sigh of relief, this appearance is still quite good, not to mention the eighteenth change of the female university, in another two years, it should be better-looking.
looked at Chen Shuyuan with a smile.
Chen Shuyuan hurriedly smiled back, the daughter of the descendant, the etiquette is exemplary, and she has the name of intelligence, she is ten thousand satisfied.
Yue Wangshu introduced to Meng Shu, "This is Chen Shuyuan, and she is also the biological mother of the second prince."
Hearing this, Meng Shu hurriedly turned around slightly, and bent her knees deeply to make a blessing, "Say hello to Shuyuan, Shuyuan is blessed."
Chen Shuyuan nodded, "Miss Meng is the niece of the first queen, and the first queen often entered the palace when she was alive, presumably ...... You've seen the Three Princes too, right?"
Meng Shu's eyebrows drooped slightly: "Back to Shuyuan's words, I've seen it twice."
Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but be overjoyed, in this way, she can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart!
Having said that, with the intelligence of this Meng Shu girl, she naturally guessed the reason why she was summoned to the palace this time. It's just that she still maintains a demure and gentle attitude, and it has been seven years since her aunt died...... And there are such peaks and loops.
Seeing that this girl was so demure, Yue Wangshu smiled and asked, "I heard from this palace that in the past few years, you have been taking care of the Qingning Marquis Mansion?"
Meng Shu, who had always been as calm as water, couldn't help but look nervous, and said humbly, "It's just to help my father take care of some clutter in the inner courtyard." Courtiers...... His mother died young, his father refused to marry him, and his brother never married his sister-in-law, so he had to be replaced by his courtiers for the time being."
Chen Shuyuan smiled and said, "Where is the substitution? You are so wise and caring, and it is also a blessing to your father and brother."
Meng Shu couldn't help but say in her heart, this Chen Shuyuan is a good person to get along with......
"After all, a courtier is the eldest daughter who has lost her mother." As he spoke, Meng Shu hurriedly lowered his head deeply.
Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but show pity, "It's a poor girl."
Yue Wangshu said, "It's not your fault, you just have to be yourself, and you don't need to pay attention to other people's gossip."
"Yes, thank you for teaching you!" Meng Shu hurriedly bowed deeply, respectfully.
Yue Wangshu also knew that this girl looked generous and graceful, and it was inevitable that she was still a little nervous, so she smiled and asked her to take a seat, gave her tea, and asked a few inconsequential little things, but seeing that this girl was still cautious in her words and deeds, she didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, her purpose is just to let Chen Shuyuan meet with the future daughter-in-law candidate, and it is not her son who wants to marry a wife, and it is up to the emperor to decide how to choose in the end.
He gave two brocades and let the Meng girl go home.
