Hearing this, Queen Mother Meng took a sip of her drink and was a little bit dumbfounded: "This little girl seems to be just Sheng Lanci's niece, right? She is smarter than Sheng Lanci's biological daughter? She actually plotted against the Ai family!"
But Madam Xiang reminded her: "Four children of the Sheng family came together this time. The Queen Mother has only summoned three girls to the palace today, and Sheng Sleeping Crane is still outside!"
"Well, that's true!" Empress Dowager Meng nodded, "It turns out that she was thinking about her eldest brother... Such a virtuous trip of brotherly love, how can the Ai family disappoint the little girl's family?"
He whispered to Chi Zuosi, "Ask the kitchen to prepare a portion of the grilled fish and today's dishes, and serve them to the children of the Sheng family when they leave the palace!"
The Queen Mother smiled, "Don't tell them in advance, let the little girl be disappointed now! She has been trying to rip off the Ai family at a young age... but we must give her a long memory!"
Chi Zuosi covered his mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, Queen Mother!"
Naturally, Sheng Weiqiao and the other two people didn't know about these things.
Sheng Weiqiao was racking his brains at this moment to remind Sheng Weiwu about the taboos when accompanying the Queen Mother later. Oh my god, she was not familiar with Queen Mother Meng. Even though she was very uneasy at this time, she said a few words and then searched her intestines and stomach, but it was still real. Don’t know what to talk about
"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous." At this time, Meng Guihuan's voice suddenly came from the side, saying lazily, "Auntie has always been tolerant to children like us. The last time you were so offensive, you scared me. It’s just you. My cousin is so young, even if she says something taboo later, my aunt will treat her as a child."
Sheng Weiqiao saw her carrying a gilt-painted five-blessing cup with two ears, walked to him and sat down, and was surprised, because there was no malice in her tone, but a hint of goodwill. He was suspicious, so he said: "Can you please give me some advice from Miss Eleven?"
"Don't tell me this or that." After Meng Guihuan heard this, he really pointed out, "What do you want my aunt to do and ask you, my cousin, to talk to you later? Don't you just think her childish words are very cute? ? In that case, what do you teach her? What my aunt likes to hear is the rhetoric that her children come up with. If she wants to listen to your teaching, why don’t she just call you over? "
"My cousin has always been doted on at home, and I'm afraid that her little child will be ignorant and say something that is too offensive to the Queen Mother." Sheng Wei Qiao Xin said, you have to know the achievements of my little ancestor back then. Even our grandfather loved her so much. The grandchildren would not be able to bear it, and most likely they would not suggest such a thing. Instead, they said, "Even if the Queen Mother does not care about it, we have received such great love from the Queen Mother and have done nothing to make her unhappy. Isn't it a heinous crime?" "
Meng Guihuan covered his face with a smile and said, "You are a person who knows how to repay kindness."
Sheng Weiqiao was not sure what her purpose was, so he tried: "I am very grateful for Miss Eleven's advice just now, but I don't know what I can do for Miss Eleven?"
"Well, you are thinking about what I will do now that I am rude to you just now and take the initiative to come and talk to you, right?" Meng Guihuan showed a flirtatious look when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he whispered, "Well, I just came here to tell you, I really wanted to make things difficult for you just now... But I just wanted to say something to vent your anger, so that you can't get off the stage, etc., but I didn't plan to do anything to you!"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao looked at her, speechless for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to say something to me to vent your anger? When did I offend you?"
Meng Guihuan tilted his head unnaturally and bit his lip. After a moment, Fang said: "There is nothing that I can't offend - it's just that I don't like someone like you who is dressed luxuriously, is loved, and is about my age!"
Sheng Weiqiao: "..."
She was silent for a while, then picked up the golden banana leaf cup in front of her and took a sip of the warm sugarcane syrup in her mouth. She couldn't hold it back and asked, "Just because of this, you actually arranged for people to shoot us outside Danmo Tower." The horse pulling the cart? Do you know that if we reacted slower that time, we would definitely be injured? Especially my cousin, who was also in the car at the time. She was only so big. What would be the result of a slight bump? ?”
Hearing the anger in her words, Meng Guihuan looked stunned and said: "This matter... why do you doubt me? I didn't do this!"
"...Really? Then I misunderstood." When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, she woke up and was shocked. She really shouldn't have said this - if she hadn't listened to Sheng Suihe and Huan Ye's night talk before, she would have questioned him now It’s not a shame at all!
The problem is, since she knows that what happened in Bishui County was basically done by Sheng Suihe and Huan Yehe, even if she doesn't feel so guilty that her legs will go weak when she sees Empress Dowager Meng, she will kneel down and confess her guilt, and when she mentions related matters, she will It's hard not to show flaws.
When Meng Guihuan denied it, Sheng Weiqiao didn't dare to pursue it even though he didn't quite believe it. He prevaricated, "When I met Miss Zhao Er before, I didn't feel that she was like this kind of person. Thinking about us in Danmo. Lou Tong has only seen you two, not her, maybe you?"
Meng Guihuan explained: "Nothing! I took the maid and my wife to Bishui County. Where can I use the archers?"
But when she said this, she seemed to have thought of something, her face changed, and she forced a smile and said, "Maybe it was an accidental shooting? For example, someone was testing a bow nearby and accidentally shot the horse pulling your cart. He was afraid of being held accountable. Sneaked away or something?"
"It should be like this, right?" Sheng Weiqiao was trying hard to hide herself to avoid being seen as a problem, and he didn't notice her abnormality. Hearing this, he couldn't wait to agree, "It really shocked us at the time!"
Subconsciously covering up for Sheng Suihe, "So not long after returning to the ship, my brother ordered the ship to sail, just because he was afraid that something would happen if he stayed in Bishui County! After all, most of our group are female dependents who have no power to restrain a chicken. , I really don’t dare to get into trouble in an unfamiliar place.”
Meng Guihuan also felt guilty and agreed: "You and your group don't have any elders. After something like this happened, it's no wonder that you have to leave Bishui County overnight. But speaking of Princess Deping's doubts about you before, it's no wonder that you were all the way On the way north, except for the stops at Bishui County and Jiangnan, even if we stopped at other places, we would just replenish supplies. Especially the stop at Jiangnan was because your companions were sick and needed to go ashore for resettlement. Strictly speaking, you The only place that really made a special stop was Bishui County. Princess Deping discovered this and thought you were suspicious, so she persuaded her grandmother, Concubine Mo, and her aunt to come specifically to question you that day."
She said this naturally as a sign of goodwill and to explain to Sheng Weiqiao the inside story of what happened that day.
But Sheng Weiqiao was almost scared to death because she had never thought much about why Sheng Suihe asked to stop in Bishui County for half a day? Even if I thought about it occasionally, I believed Xu Baomo's guess at the time, that this matter might have something to do with Sheng Suihe's biological mother.
Now that she knew the truth, Meng Guihuan's words sounded like a test to her.
Sheng Weiqiao pinched his palm hard and told himself to calm down. Fang Qiang smiled and said: "This is because my family has some properties in Bishui County. We originally planned to patrol all the way to Chang'an, but after being frightened in front of Danmo Tower, I My brother was worried that there would be more trouble, and he would not let us go ashore. Indeed, the docking in Jiangnan was for two senior brothers and sisters. Otherwise, we were still rich in supplies on the ship at that time. Stopped."
This excuse was something she came up with on the spur of the moment, and to be honest, it didn't hold up well to scrutiny.
Because from Nanfeng County to Bishui County, there are also Cangwu and other counties in between. They are all close to the sea, and it is convenient for ships to dock.
And they didn't stop at any one of them. The first time they docked was Bishui County - those counties also had Shengjia properties, so why didn't they patrol
Fortunately, Meng Guihuan didn't know this at first, but when she heard this, she paid attention to: "Just now your cousin said that your family has money, is it true? You actually have your family's property all the way north? "
When Sheng Weiqiao heard this, she muttered, thinking that if you suddenly came here to be a lowly person, you must have heard Sheng Weiwu's boast about her wealth, right
She had doubts in her heart, but she said calmly on her face: "My little sister doesn't know what the world is like, and she's talking nonsense! In fact, it's just a few scattered shops from the property that came all the way north, and it's not worth it. "
She was worried that Meng Guihuan was after her own family property, and she was also concerned about Princess Deping's suspicion. After saying this, she quickly asked without waiting for Meng Guihuan's answer, "By the way, I heard Madam Xiang's tone just now, so my cousin has already Found it? This is really good news! But is there any clue to the real murderer? If there is, will Princess Deping not doubt us? "
Meng Guihuan sighed after hearing this and said: "I have found the news that was reported quickly, but the mountains and rivers are so far away. What people are like now, I can't rest assured if I don't see it with my own eyes! After all, who can Did you know that the imperial envoy would hide the bad news first? As for Princess Deping's suspicion, don't take it too seriously - as long as your aunt and Concubine Mo don't doubt you, it's useless for her to jump up and down. This person says he is the princess , in fact, they are just idlers in the palace!"
This girl seemed so difficult to get along with before, but now she talked too much. She looked around and said, "Look, she is already twenty years old. Don't talk about the cabinet now. That's not even possible." We haven’t decided to marry you yet! This shows your status!”
When Sheng Weiqiao met Princess Deping that day, he was also surprised that she was still dressing like a virgin at the age of twenty.
But at that time, she was too busy to defend herself about the matter in Bishui County, so she naturally had no time to pursue it in a place where it had nothing to do with her.
When Meng Guihuan mentioned this, she became curious and couldn't help but lean towards her and asked in a low voice: "I didn't even notice it unless you mentioned it... Why hasn't this princess left the cabinet yet? Is it possible that she hasn't left the cabinet yet?" Is it because the Dowager Empress and Princess Gaomi can't let her go?"
She thought to herself, how could any normal elder love a girl like this
It seems that she is the darling of Sheng Lanci and his wife. Now she is only fifteen. Sheng Lanci and his wife have been officially dating her since last year. How can Princess Mo and Princess Gaomi love Princess Deping anymore? How about keeping people from leaving the cabinet until they are twenty years old
Is this hurting Princess Deping or harming Princess Deping
While she was thinking about it, she heard Meng Guihuan giggle and say softly: "What's the reluctance? It's obvious that he is deliberately torturing her! Speaking of which, my aunt gave her the title of Princess Deping. For this reason, later, When my aunt wanted to give her the title of princess, King Gaomi tried every means to stop her. You said that King Gaomi was Deping's biological father, but you didn't want your daughter to be granted the title of princess. This shows how much you feel about Deping! So you don’t think she is a princess, except that Concubine Mo pities her a little bit, the Gaomi Palace doesn’t care about her life or death at all!”
Then he said, "Why do you think she stays in the palace? It's not that Concubine Mo likes her so much that she has to keep her by her side. It's that she has no place in the Gaomi Palace. After all, she is Concubine Mo's granddaughter. Concubine Mo took pity on her, so she told my aunt to clean up a small courtyard in Xinshou Palace for her to stay!"
Sheng Weiqiao couldn't help being stunned. The questioning words came to her lips. She thought about it but swallowed it back. She asked cautiously: "Miss Eleven, what do you mean by saying all these things to me? Can you tell me honestly so that I can Do you have some confidence in your heart? Otherwise, I wouldn’t dare to continue talking to you!”
