"We entered the palace today because of the instructions given by the Queen Mother a few days ago. We did not rush into the palace to disturb you!" Sheng Weiqiao spoke clearly. Although he was full of anger, he also spoke clearly. He asked eloquently, "So even if you do homework before entering the palace, you are doing homework around the Queen Mother. Is it difficult to do homework for Miss Eleven, a purdah woman who seems to be unknown at your age?!"
Her slightly lipsticked lips looked particularly beautiful under the candlelight. At this moment, she was curling her lips in an extremely contemptuous arc. She looked at the stunned Meng Guihuan and said unhurriedly, "It's Meng Shi." Miss First! You are just one of the nieces of the Queen Mother, and you are not the owner of the side hall of Xinshou Palace! Just now, the Queen Mother was very kind to the three of us. How can you be so virtuous as to go beyond the Queen Mother and be so picky with us? Eye-catching?"
Then he glanced at the other girls of the Meng family and sneered, "Everyone here today still regards you as the master. Do you want to exclude and despise us and make you the master?"
As soon as he finished speaking, except for Meng Shishi who was still playing with the blue and white red sea animal pattern bowl expressionlessly, the faces of Meng Twelve, Meng Thirteen, Meng Fifteen, including Meng Shuangxiao, all changed slightly!
Sheng Weiqiao's last words were clearly provocative, and even the youngest Meng Shuangxiao heard this.
Compared to Meng Guihuan, who was related to them by blood and had been with each other for many years, Sheng Weiqiao and the other two were completely outsiders. Of course, they were looking towards Meng Guihuan - this was proved when Sheng Weiqiao looked at them one after another. —So originally they didn’t intend to be fooled by this.
The problem is, what she said earlier, "The Queen Mother is so picky about us," made the girls of the Meng family frown: In this case, if Meng Guihuan's attitude is acknowledged, they will Doesn't this attitude also admit that they have surpassed Queen Mother Meng
Although Empress Dowager Meng had always been kind to her nieces, especially the younger nieces, after Sheng Weiqiao had clearly pointed out the point of "overtaking the Queen Mother", she continued to "overstep the Queen Mother". Empress Dowager Meng knew it afterwards, and thought about it in her heart I won't be happy either!
Because this means that they have insufficient respect for Queen Mother Meng.
And what was their purpose in following Xiang into the palace in a windy and snowy day
Isn’t it just to please the Queen Mother
Seeing that the girls of the Meng family fell silent, Sheng Weiqiao snorted in her heart. She couldn't control her temper when she was angry in front of Queen Mother Meng. How could a mere Meng Guihuan want to use Meng to abuse them at will? !
Just like what Sheng Suihe and Huan Ye said before: Even if he joins the Meng family, he would still choose the Meng family's big room instead of the fourth room!
That's why she is not afraid of offending Meng Guihuan!
After all, Tu Ruchuan said before that the rise of Meng Guihuan's family, although under the care of Empress Dowager Meng, was only stabilized by pleasing the Meng family. Otherwise, Uncle Chongxin would not be able to do anything in Chang'an. Have frequent contacts with Meng Boqin, the prince of Zheng Guogong in Northern Xinjiang
There was silence in the hall for a moment. Sheng Weiqiao considered that this was the Queen Mother's territory after all, and those in front of her were all blood relatives of the Queen Mother. She was about to say a few words to mediate the situation. Unexpectedly, Meng Shiwu's eyes flashed and he suddenly spoke: "Miss Sheng , don’t be angry! In fact, there’s a reason why Sister Eleven doesn’t like you!”
Sheng Weiqiao was slightly startled by these words, and Meng Guihuan also looked at Meng Shiwu in astonishment.
Meng Shishi said in a sweet tone: "Actually, you can guess the reason! In order to take care of Sister Eleven and the others, Sixth Brother is already twenty-five years old, but they haven't gotten married yet! My aunt has been doing a lot of work in the past two years. I've always cared about his marriage - but it's a pity that none of the girls that my aunt had her eye on before made Sixth Brother want to marry him! Now my aunt suddenly invited you to attend. Originally, it was just us girls from the Meng family. It’s a gathering, do you need to explain the intention?”
She covered her mouth with her sleeves, giggled, and said, "Our fourth uncle and aunt all left very early. As for Sister Eleven, she was raised by Brother Six! In this way, Eleven Of course, my sister doesn’t want a sister-in-law to take away the sixth brother! But I have to help Miss Sheng tell the eleventh sister. After all, you are just a sister-in-law, and you will leave the government sooner or later! Your sister-in-law is the one who has to take care of the sixth brother for the rest of her life! You Why are you so jealous? Is it possible that you can stay away from the government for the rest of your life, and ask Brother Six to stay with you without marrying for the rest of his life? Is that fair?"
The clear and melodious laughter echoed in the hall, but except for Meng Shiwu, no one could laugh.
Meng Shishi was as usual indifferent to the farce that happened in front of him but did not involve her; Meng Twelve and Meng Shisan looked uncertain, as if they were speculating on the truth or falsehood of what Meng Shishi said; Meng Shuangxiao was I was stunned, looking at this and that for a while, with a look of confusion on my face.
Sheng Weiwu originally wanted to say something, but Gongsun Yingjiang quickly stopped her with his eyes and hands.
—After a brief silence, Meng Guihuan suddenly turned red!
Sheng Weiqiao was the first to blurt out: "Fifteen! Stop talking nonsense! My aunt has never mentioned such a thing, what do you mean by saying that?! Besides, you are a girl who has not left the court, so what kind of aunt will you marry?" Wife, are these words supposed to come out of your mouth?!"
"Please show mercy to Miss Fifteenth!" Sheng Weiqiao said coldly with a gloomy expression, "I have never met Uncle Chongxin, let alone heard the Queen Mother mention this uncle! So I ask Miss Fifteenth to show your respect. Don’t say anything like this that will damage my reputation as a best friend and the reputation of Chongxin Boqing!”
Her face was still calm, but the hands in her sleeves almost twisted a silk handkerchief to pieces. In her heart, she almost wanted to curse the Meng family's goddaughter for her incompetence. If they don't pick a fight, they will die, right? !
"Isn't this just a guess?" Upon seeing this, Meng Shishi curled his lips and smiled again, "There are just a few of us here. As long as we don't go out and talk nonsense, who knows? Why are you so worried? It looks like you have a guilty conscience!"
Turning to Sheng Weiqiao, his tone was playful, "Miss Sheng, do you think this is true? Apart from us, the only ones here are the maids we brought in. These people can follow us into the palace. If you still don't know what to say, shut up." If so, then we can only blame those of us who are the masters for being blind, and we deserve to be cheated! As for other palace servants, people who can serve my aunt, there is nothing Miss Sheng can't trust, right? "
Sheng Weiqiao looked at her, suddenly smiled coldly, and said: "Young Miss Fifteen said she feels guilty, but I think maybe Miss Fifteen is infatuated and wants Madam Xiang to give you a husband? Otherwise, what if?" , our daughter-in-law’s family, who would focus on the marriage, or the marriage of her cousin? But Miss Fifteen, if you have such an idea, what’s the use of forcing it on me? You You should explain it directly to Madam! I see Madam as a virtuous and virtuous lady. If I knew that you had this intention, even if I secretly wanted to keep you in the house for a while longer, I would definitely send someone to find you a talented person immediately. , so that you can make your wishes come true as soon as possible!"
Sheng Weiqiao only had one wish in her heart at this moment, not that the dispute in front of her could be reduced to a major issue, but that the family members of King Gaomi would not be as disgusting as the Meng sisters...
Yes, she has decided now that regardless of whether Sheng Suihe has any relationship with the Gaomi Palace, as long as there is no deep hatred between the two parties that cannot be revealed, she will vigorously persuade him to join the Gaomi Palace after she returns. With the faces of the Meng sisters, After siding with Meng, how can we survive this life? !
"My marriage won't have to worry about you, a little girl from a remote country!" Meng Shishi smiled and seemed to be very open-minded when talking about others, but when Sheng Weiqiao said it, his face suddenly darkened, and he sneered and smiled. He raised his chin, fearing that she wouldn't be able to see the condescension in his eyes, and said, "I originally thought that our sixth brother was both talented and handsome, and was an earl conferred by the imperial court. I thought that you were summoned by my aunt today. Come on, I might as well give you a fortune, but I didn’t expect you to be so disrespectful! In that case, I don’t want to care about you anymore!”
Sheng Weiqiao said in amusement: "Miss Fifteen said this, but I really didn't have the ears to hear it! I never knew that it was my cousin who could make the final decision on my cousin's marriage?!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Meng Guihuan coldly. Meng Guihuan's expression was very gloomy at the moment. It could be seen that she actually didn't want to offend Meng Shishi. The words she just blurted out were already in a state of intense emotion. Impulsive.
However, Meng Guihuan was talking about her eldest brother, the person who took on the responsibility of her parents on behalf of her parents who died young. She really couldn't do it for Meng Guihuan to just sit back and watch Meng Guiyu being talked nonsense.
At this moment, Sheng Weiqiao looked at him, and finally turned his head and said to Meng Shishi: "Fifteen, although our parents are gone long ago, my sixth brother's marriage has never been entrusted to my uncle and Aunt Jiaoyu. You'd better It’s better not to make the decision without authorization and say such misleading things!”
"Oh, you've come to bury the hatchet now?" Unexpectedly, when Meng Shishi heard this, he glanced sideways at her and sneered, "Back then, you brothers and sisters were helpless and asked my aunt to help me speak in front of my father so that I could gain my aunt's mercy. Why didn't you say that you never entrusted my father to my aunt? What? Now that you can meet your aunt on your own, you are planning to burn bridges?!"
At this point, he turned to Meng Shishi, who had never said a word, "You still see the new master, and you can't wait to leave us three and go to the new master to please him?"
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
She swallowed a mouthful of blood silently, thinking that no wonder Meng Shishi would associate her with Chongxin Bo Meng Guiyu. The fourth brother of the Meng family had a chance to rise in the early years only through Meng Shishi's biological mother. This would be about Seeing that Empress Dowager Meng chose Meng Shishi as her successor, and Meng Shishi’s mother and daughter, Meng Shishi and Meng Shishi’s biological mother, Aunt Jiaoyu, were obviously incompatible—so she planned to change families and switch to Meng Shishi’s side. .
Naturally, Meng Shishi would have an opinion!
Meng Guihuan had just made trouble for Sheng Weiqiao, but Sheng Weiqiao pushed back. When the situation was in a stalemate, the reason why Meng Shiwu intervened was that, in the final analysis, it was not that she had any grudge against Sheng Weiqiao, but that she wanted to settle a score with Meng Guihuan in the first place— After all, Sheng Weiqiao is a disaster!
Sure enough, Chang'an, a hellish place, is completely unsuitable for my daughter to live in! ! !
Sheng Weiqiao sighed silently and thought to himself, should he leave before the test results come out
After all, although the results of the general examination are not necessarily the results of the palace examination, they are often not very different.
What if something like this happens to me again during the period from Apricot to Gold List... Just thinking about it makes me despair, okay? !
