Luoyang on Chinese New Year's Eve was very lively, and before dawn, the air was already filled with the smell of burning incense candles.

In the evening, when Mei Xue arrived at the gate of the palace, there were already many female dependents gathered there, all waiting to enter the palace.

As soon as Mei Xue appeared, the crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at her with different expressions.

In the current Luoyang City, no one doesn't know the young female imperial physician who lives in the Shu Palace.

But these ladies in the deep house, not many people have seen Mei Xue, most of them have heard other people's descriptions in rumors.

Mei Xue was not uncomfortable, let Mei just drive the carriage away, and she walked to the end of the line and stood quietly waiting.

After a while, Mrs. Wu Anhou came over, took her hand and said with a smile:

"Miss Mei, I haven't seen you in a while.

According to your prescription to take medicine, my old lady has been much better, although she can't walk yet, she can always say a few simple words, and I and Hou Ye are really grateful to you. ”

There were several ladies and girls around who echoed Mrs. Wu Anhou's words, and gradually came over to talk to Mei Xue.

The carriage of King Lu's mansion has been parked at the gate of the palace, and the lord of Jialan is sitting on the brocade mat with a hand stove, watching the more and more crowds around Mei Xue through the window, and the sneer on her face is getting deeper and deeper.

Several rows of tables and chairs were neatly placed in the huge main hall, and before the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Princess Chenyang came out, everyone walked freely and talked to people they knew in low voices.

Mei Xue followed the palace maid who led the way all the way, and found that she was ranked very high, and the county lord of Changle was already sitting next to her and smiled at her.

The county lord of Jialan sat opposite the county lord of Changle, and across the corridor that was not too wide, she finally really saw Mei Xue clearly.

Indeed, as the rumors say, she was an unusually beautiful but cold girl, plainly dressed and unfattened, unlike any girl she had ever known.

So, it looks even more annoying.

Except for Mrs. Wu'an Hou and the county lord of Changle, Mei Xue and the rest of the people were not familiar with her, and she had always talked little, so she only sat quietly at the moment.

The princesses and county lords of the royal family mostly looked down on the background of the county lord of Changle, but she was the most favored by the Empress Dowager Jing'an and Emperor Mingde, so she was even more jealous.

And the county lord of Changle didn't bother to greet anyone, if anyone else dared to look at her with strange eyes, she would definitely stare back coldly.

Like a powder keg that could explode at any moment.

Mei Xue was so amused by the county lord of Changle that she could barely hold back her laughter, so she leaned over to chat with her.

The county lord of Changle sneered and glanced at the county lord of Jialan opposite, and said to Mei Xue in a low voice:

"Yun'er has already told me that it was Jialan who made people splash her with cold water, and Pang Yu was just a lackey who rushed to beat Jialan."

Mei Xue followed the eyes of the county lord of Changle and looked at the county lord of Jialan, and when she saw that she was smiling at herself, she also nodded politely, and then whispered to the county lord of Changle:

"Either way, she couldn't have predicted that you would meddle in Yun'er's affairs. So, don't be hostile to her just yet, just be polite. ”

The county lord of Changle snorted and didn't speak, but he didn't continue to keep his eyes on the county lord of Jialan.

Aunt Qiu, who was waiting for the Empress Dowager Jing'an, walked out first, and the nobles who were around the county lord of Jialan all dispersed and returned to their places.

Mei Xue also stood up with everyone.

Princess Chenyang walked out with the Empress Dowager Jing'an, her eyes fell on the Lord of Changle and Mei Xue, and she smiled lovingly at Mei Xue.

Mei Xue also smiled slightly, it was obvious that Empress Shen's illness as scheduled had suddenly reduced the burden on Princess Chenyang's heart.

There was no more trepidation in her eyes.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an sat down and accepted everyone's salutes, and when the ladies all sat down again, she smiled and said:

"The mourning family has been blind for several years, and now I can see you again, it's all the credit of Mei Yatou.

Qiu Yun, give the Buddha beads of the mourning family to Mei Yatou. ”

Aunt Qiu walked towards Mei Xue with the red jade Buddha beads of the Empress Dowager Jing'an, and Mei Xue hurriedly got up to thank her.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an smiled and asked Mei Xue to sit down, and the county lord of Changle said to Mei Xue with a low smile next to her:

"The first one to take a gift, you have become a thorn in the side of others, hahaha."

Mei Xue glared at her with a smile, and carefully put the Buddha beads into her sleeve.

When the crown prince led the royal descendants to come in to meet the Empress Dowager Jing'an, Mei Xue saw Li Jinzhi following the prince.

And Shen Qingyang also followed at the back of the crowd.

The princes, princes and county kings knelt down together to kowtow to the Empress Dowager Jing'an, but almost all the eyes of the ladies in the audience fell on Li Jinzhi.

Rumors say that the prince of Shu was a sick man, and he escaped death only after having Mei Xue.

But Li Jinzhi in front of him, where is there still half a patient.

Standing in the midst of a group of royal relatives in brocade clothes, he is still as dazzling as the stars and moon that have fallen into the dust.

Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

is obviously not enough to describe Li Jinzhi in front of him.

On the seat of the Xiao family, Mrs. Xiao looked at Li Jinzhi with a smile, Mrs. Xiao leaned close to her ear and said a few words, and the old lady's eyes looked at Mei Xue again.

is a clean girl, pampered and not shocked, elegant and indifferent, no wonder her grandson always praises in front of her.

When the prince and the others withdrew, Li Jinzhi passed in front of Mei Xue and the county lord of Changle and nodded at them with a smile.

The attention of the county lord of Changle was all on Shen Qingyang's body, and she even quietly poked Mei Xue's waist and whispered:

"Look, as long as you don't wear that black dress, Shen Qingyang can still see it."

About because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Shen Qingyang rarely changed into a navy blue civilian clothes.

He was born very well, and he has been practicing martial arts all year round, so he is even more outstanding compared to the people around him.

But he still had a cold face the whole time, and when he walked in front of the county lord of Changle, he even deliberately twisted his face to the side.

The county lord of Changle looked up at the back of Shen Qingyang's head, with a puzzled expression, not knowing where he had offended him again.

Mei Xue pinched herself hard in her sleeve before she could hold back a smile.

The crown prince's concubine Xie Danqin came late, and after making a big salute, she asked the Empress Dowager Jing'an for her guilt.

The Empress Dowager Jing'an waved her hand to sit down, and said softly:

"The queen is sick, you are pregnant and still serving in Kunning Palace every day, you are a filial child, sit down!"

The Empress Dowager Jing'an's eyes were lost for a moment, and Mei Xue felt that she must have remembered the crown princess.

Mei Xue also lowered her eyes silently.

Sadness quietly permeated my heart, for the crown princess who was still struggling in Anguo Temple at the moment, and for Li Mingze, who was still unclear.

Many people looked at Xie Danqin with envious eyes, the emperor's eldest grandson died young, and the crown princess lived in Anguo Temple for a long time, and she didn't come back at the end of the year.

Xie Danqin was pregnant at this time, and once she gave birth to a royal grandson in the future, the sky in the East Palace would definitely change color.

Xie Danqin is a typical Jiangnan person-looking, with a delicate figure, a small melon seed face as white as jade, a pair of smiling apricot eyes, and a moist as smoke.

Mei Xue lowered her head and remembered the last look she saw when she saw the crown princess when she left Anguo Temple at noon.

But when the new man laughs, who hears the old man cry.

Most of the things in the world are like this.

On the way back to the palace, Li Jinzhi cupped the broken hair in Mei Xue's ear and whispered:

"Tomorrow, let's take Mingze to see the princess's sister-in-law, right? Park the carriage near Anguo Temple, and when Ming Ze is asleep, let's quietly carry him in. ”

In this way, it is possible not to be seen by the crown princess Li Mingze's strangeness.

Mei Xue nodded, and the sadness in her heart finally dissipated a little.

But on the first day of the new year, Mei Xue and Jiu'er were packing up Li Mingze's things, but Mei Gang flew to Zhuyuan and sent a shocking news:

The crown princess and Mama Jiang suddenly disappeared from Anguo Temple, and Yu Linwei was searching the whole city at the moment.

Mei Xue's hand trembled, and then she silently closed her eyes.

She still left, with a completely dead heart.

Mei Xue could imagine the chaos outside at the moment, no matter how much Empress Shen didn't want to see the crown princess, but after all, she was the rightful hostess of the East Palace.

So suddenly, on the first day of the new year, he disappeared without a trace, and it was like a slap in the face of the royal family.

Emperor Mingde, especially Empress Shen, would definitely be furious.

As for the Empress Dowager Jing'an, compared with her face, she should hope that the crown princess will live a little better.
