Yaohua Palace.

Meng Jiangying sat on the futon, picked the firewood burning in the stove into the silver charcoal one by one with an iron hook, turned over the silver charcoal, and watched it slowly burn in the smoke, and then returned the burning firewood back to the stove.

Behind her, there was an old woman who had been waiting for her for a long time, and when she had finished her selection, she brought out the smoking stove.

Meng Ruyi knelt in front of the statue of Daojun, his eyebrows lowered, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't know what he was praying for with Taishang Laojun?

Meng Jiangying pursed her lips and sat bored on the futon in a daze.

At this moment, there was a slight shaking outside the door, and an old servant wearing a cotton robe of coarse kudzu cloth and holding a jade jar in his arms hurriedly walked in.

When the grandmothers waiting in the door saw him coming, they all spontaneously withdrew.

Meng Jiangying's eyes lit up: "Uncle Zhong, what delicious food did you bring with you?" ”

"Big lady!" The old servant bowed his head and saluted: "The old slave is also a slave, you can call me Zhong Xiang!" ”

As he spoke, he sent the jade jar in his hand forward: "This is the powdered sugar that the princess asked the old slave to bring to you, I heard that it was provided by a foreign country, and it can be sprinkled directly on food." ”

"Ah, it's still Sister Zhu thinking about me!" Meng Jiangying was even happier, she took the jar, opened the upside-down lid on it, and a sweet smell filled the air.

"It seems that Zhong Xiang's trip is quite smooth?" Meng Ruyi bowed respectfully, and then got up from the statue of Daojun: "Can she accept my things?" ”

"Don't worry, Your Highness, in front of you, you are being tied, and when you see what Niangniang sent, you are simply overjoyed!" Zhong Xiang smiled and took out a piece of silk cloth from his sleeve, on which were written a few big characters.

In the main hall of Yaohua Palace, it was quite dim, Meng Ruyi took the silk cloth, blew out the charcoal basin out of the open flame, squinted for a long time, and then saw clearly: "Everything, it's all up to the aunt!" ”

With just one glance, she put away her smile: "This is Zhu's handwriting?" ”

"Back to the eldest lady, when the old slave went to see him, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince happened to be called away by the people in the palace school, and only the crown princess was left alone in the East Palace." Zhong Xiang paused, and then said: "The crown prince and the crown princess are in harmony, if the crown princess doesn't get his signal, how dare she casually reply to your letter?" ”

"This Zhao Huan has always been timid and afraid, even in the East Palace, he doesn't dare to see you!" Meng Ruyi sneered and threw the silk cloth onto the charcoal basin: "Let's go, as long as he can stand on his feet, it is not a big mistake for Mingzhe to protect himself." ”

"The eldest lady is very right! The crown princess said that as long as we do things well, the rest will be handed over to her. Zhong Xiang said.

"She's so bold! Then you go down and explain, be sure to do things in a more general way, and don't make any mistakes! Meng Ruyi took off a black gold bracelet on his wrist: "This, at least one thousand taels of silver, after the matter is completed, keep it for appeasement." ”

"Niangniang~~" Zhong Xiang excused himself and said: "There are no good things in your palace anymore, so let's keep this bracelet as a memory." The minions will not lose the old people! ”

When he had finished speaking, he bowed and walked backwards.

After Meng Jiangying waited for him to walk out of the door, she put down the jar that she had been holding in her hand: "Auntie, why do you have to pester Emperor Mingde?" It stands to reason that her mother is good friends with you, and wouldn't it be easier for you to be good friends with her in this way? ”

"Don't you really know where she got what she got from?" Meng Ruyi snorted coldly: "She's not her easy to deceive old lady, cunning!" ”

"Huh? Auntie, you mean she's already in a 'miracle'! Meng Jiangying was shocked: "Probably not, didn't you say that you couldn't enter again after using many methods?" ”

"The pendant was synthesized." Meng Ruyi only felt a faint pain in her heart: "When she summoned her mother back to the miracle, the half of the pendant she brought on her disappeared, and she should have been left in another world."

I went from the Lotus Terrace to her house in another world, and I searched for a long time, but I didn't find it.

At first, I thought that there was a painting in my hand, and it didn't hurt to lose the half of the pendant, but who would have thought that since that time, I would never be able to enter again! ”

"Auntie, you're too careless!" Meng Jiangying complained, and then began to be curious again: "Since that half of the pendant was lost in another world, how did Zhao Fujin get it?" ”

"Could it be that you asked Qiong Zhi to put the other half of the pendant on her neck?" Meng Jiangying guessed.

"It stands to reason that it won't be, haven't our aunts and nephews already tried? The pendant has not moved since the last time I came out of the miracle. Meng Ruyi pressed her head: "Moreover, Emperor Huifu had an accident that night, but she was not damaged at all, this matter is really weird!" ”

"Do you want to call Qiongzhi over and ask?" When Meng Jiangying said the word Qiongzhi, there was a little disdain between her eyebrows: "This girl is really useless, she has been with Emperor Mingde for five or six years, but she didn't get blue eyes, and she said that she would rush back!" ”

"She's a poor person, don't do this to her!" Meng Ruyi frowned slightly: "It's good that she comes back, she is the daughter of a family, if I hadn't dragged it down, I should have been raised now." ”

"According to me, it's my aunt's kindness that is too good, if it weren't for those people who raised the flag and were undecided, you would be in front of Empress Yuanyou right now. It's hard to say who is dragging down whom! Meng Jiangying was angry when she talked about this: "Jiang Fen and the others are blaming their aunts, saying that you shouldn't be dedicated to the Queen Mother, and you don't even want your own net worth." ”

"If it weren't for her, what kind of queen would I be!" Meng Ruyi was angry to death: "Left, but their Meng family thinks that they are just affected by me." Then you can summon Qiong Zhi, and it would be better to figure things out sooner. ”

Qiong Zhi returned to Yaohua Palace, and after waiting for a long time, she was not summoned by Meng Niangniang, and she was worried in her heart, so someone from the palace came to call her.

She walked quickly to the main hall, and when she saw Meng Ruyi, her eyes immediately turned red: "Big lady, the slave and maid have a responsibility, and they lost the things of the big lady, what a crime deserves death!" ”

"Alas, my poor boy, get up quickly, it's cold on the ground!" Meng Ruyi's eyes were red unconsciously, she took a few steps forward and helped Qiong Zhi up: "I have wronged you, good lady, I have been a girl for so long!" ”

"Big Lady~~" Qiong Zhi looked at the kind woman in front of her through tears, choked up and couldn't speak.

"Okay, okay, look at your affectionate appearance, if others don't know, you should still see each other as your biological mother and daughter!" Meng Jiangying couldn't hide the sour feeling in her heart and said: "Qiongzhi, tell us, what happened that night, why did Zhao Fujin come out unscathed?" ”

"Big Lady~~" Qiong Zhi sobbed: "I suspect that Emperor Mingde has been taken away by a lonely soul from outside!" ”
