Chapter 160: First Meeting
"Queen?" Xie Wan frowned, got out of the car and looked at Steward Fang and asked, "Did you say where to meet?" ”
Steward Fang shook his head: "No, it was the female official next to the queen mother who came, and the slave didn't dare to ask more." ”
The biggest female official beside the queen is from the fourth grade, even if she sees it, she has to bow respectfully, and it is really inconvenient for Steward Fang to ask more.
Rushi said worriedly on the side: "Miss, the queen is afraid that the person who comes is not good." ”
Xie Wan is now married to the Ma family, which is a well-known thing, and now the wife of the prince of the Ma Kingdom Mansion is still chanting scriptures and praying in the temple, and Queen Ma wants her to meet at this time, which must be a bad person.
But what if you know that she is not good? Xie Wan had no right to refuse at all.
Xie Wan whispered to Rushi: "Don't worry too much, everyone knows that I have a conflict with the Ma family, and she sent someone to invite me openly, so she will definitely not do anything to me at this time." ”
Just in case, Xie Wan still said to the other party's housekeeper: "You say to Ruhua, if I don't come back in the evening, let her go to find someone to save me." As for who to seek, she knew. ”
Steward Fang nodded a little nervously: "Yes." ”
Xie Wan took a deep breath and raised her feet into the Hou Mansion.
It was Zhiqing, the palace maid beside Queen Ma, who was also a female official of Fengyi from the fourth grade, and she was the one who gave Xie Wan a gift last time, and the two had seen each other.
Xie Wan saluted her: "The female official has been waiting for a long time. ”
"I've only been here for a while." Zhiqing smiled: "Miss Xie seems to be quite interested, she went out early in the morning, I don't know where she went?" ”
Xie Wan didn't move when she heard this, and said with a sad face: "Don't hide it from the female official, there are three shops in the Hou Mansion, saying that the revenue is not good, it seems that there are plans to quit the rent, so I quietly went around when I had nothing to do, and took a look at the current situation." ”
"Really?" Zhiqing smiled: "The queen mother went out of the palace, remembering what happened last time, and still felt that she owed something to the girl, so she called the girl to go and apologize." ”
"The courtiers don't dare." Xie Wan hurriedly said: "The previous incident was just a misunderstanding, and the courtiers have forgotten it, where is the word owe the queen." ”
"It doesn't matter if you owe it or not." Zhiqing stood up and said lightly: "The queen has been waiting for a long time, Miss Xie, please." ”
Xie Wan answered yes and followed her out the door.
Before leaving, she glanced at Steward Fang, who nodded slightly.
As the poem followed, but sat in the carriage behind.
The carriage creaked along the road, and Xie Wan smiled and asked, "I don't know where the queen mother received the courtiers?" ”
Zhiqing glanced at her and said with a smile: "Miss Xie will know when she goes." ”
When she said this, Xie Wan didn't want to ask again, so she only nodded yes.
However, what Xie Wan never expected was that the place where Zhiqing brought her was actually the Eldest Princess's Mansion!
Looking at the four words of the eldest princess's mansion on the forehead of the high gate, Xie Wan's face was a little ugly, and she had a faint premonition in her heart, the queen was afraid that she already knew something.
According to Mrs. Chu, this banquet was held at the request of the Queen Mother, in order to be Li Yu's princess.
Li Yu is not a person who can hide it, according to his temperament, since he has thought about the March appointment early in the morning, he will inevitably show his mouth. If you can't get this March appointment, there are also some reasons to urge marriage.
After all, even if it is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu will be urged to marry.
Li Yu and the eldest princess, who knew the inside story, invited almost everyone who went to the banquet last time, but they did not invite her, which shows that she does not meet the standards of the daughter-in-law in Empress Dowager Chen's heart.
Li Yu's character is guaranteed, he didn't invite her, it must be because he didn't want to be affected by other factors before the two of them were really determined, and now the queen deliberately led her to the queen mother again, saying that no one believed it if she didn't mean to.
At this time, Xie Wan was calm.
The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, there is such a day sooner or later, she has nothing to fear.
At this time, Xie Wan didn't know at all that the reason why Li Yu asked the eldest princess not to invite her to the banquet was not because she was afraid that the Queen Mother would see her, and the Queen Mother would not like her and make her unable to come to the stage. is afraid that she will see the Queen Mother, so that the Queen Mother will not be able to come to the stage.
In Li Yu's thoughts, her first meeting with the Queen Mother must not be in plain sight.
Zhiqing took two steps, turned around, looked at Xie Wan and said, "Miss Xie, please." ”
Xie Wan came back to her senses and raised her heels.
In the eldest princess's mansion, Empress Dowager Chen, Empress Ma and eldest princess Li Xian sat together talking, Li Yu sat aside, fiddling with jade beads in his hands, and there was no expression on his handsome face.
Not far from them, young boys and girls sat together, many of them were so nervous that they could barely raise their heads, and if you looked closely, you could see that the girls were nervous and shy.
Everyone knows that this time the Queen Mother came in person to see the future Princess Ning.
And Princess Ning will appear among them.
After Kong Yueru had that incident, she had been completely abandoned from the circle of noble women, and she became a relative again, so there was no her this time.
Ma Yushan sat at the table, her position was facing Li Yu, seeing him, her heart was still beating fast, but she knew that she was no longer qualified to be close to him.
She looked around, her eyes swept over the faces of the nobles, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
They don't deserve it!!
Although Empress Dowager Chen was talking to the eldest princess and Queen Ma, her eyes kept on the nobles, and she glanced at Li Yu from time to time, trying to see something unusual from her little son, who was always calm and expressionless.
However, she was disappointed.
Her youngest son, since he came, has been like an old monk, not to mention taking a second look at a noble girl, even if he has never looked at the noble girl!
Empress Dowager Chen was a little sulking, in his heart, she was such a terrible person?!
Empress Dowager Chen was a little unwilling, and used her killer move, she whispered to Li Yu: "Today, you have to point out someone to the mourning family, otherwise the mourning family will help you point it out!" ”
However, Li Yu didn't eat her at all, and even her expression didn't change when she heard the words, but she said lightly: "I'm afraid that the queen mother has not forgotten, she once promised her son, and she will never interfere in her son's marriage." If the queen mother really likes someone, if she takes it back to the palace, the royal brother will be very happy. ”
When Empress Dowager Chen heard this, she suddenly became angry: "The queen mother just wants to know who it is, in case the mourning family points to your sweetheart, you are willing to send her to the palace?" ”
Li Yu lifted his eyelids to look at her when he heard this, and didn't say anything.
Looking at his eyes, Empress Dowager Chen suddenly felt distressed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, it's the mourning family who said the wrong thing, you can do whatever you like." ”
At this moment, Zhiqing came with Xie Wan.
Empress Dowager Chen, the queen and the others were facing away from the road, so naturally they didn't see it, but a group of young boys and girls were facing each other.
The moment they saw Xie Wan, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, especially those young men who were faintly excited, which made Empress Dowager Chen a little surprised.
She followed everyone's gaze and looked back, and at a glance saw Xie Wan who came to pay for it.
