After the incident at the Flower Appreciation Banquet, Sheng Weiqiao also expected that Queen Meng would definitely summon him to the palace to find out the truth face to face. After all, Queen Meng made a mistake on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the people who were most grateful were her and Gongsun Yingjiang.
That time Sheng Weiqiao was pushed away from the rockery and fell unconscious on the spot: As for the original grandson Yingjiang, it seems that the person who didn't know what was going on was ruined for life... How could the queen remain indifferent
After she dressed up and followed the official into the palace, she arrived at Jingshao Palace. Although Queen Meng did ask about the flower viewing banquet, she was not very excited. She nodded calmly and said: "He knows."
He no longer asked about the details of the losses suffered by Sheng Weiqiao and Gongsun Yingjiang's aunt and nephew. Instead, he asked about Sheng Weiqiao's gains from participating in the flower viewing banquet. "I heard that I am very fond of Yichun Marquis Cuo. I wonder what I think of him?"
"He actually fell in love with him?" Sheng Weiqiao was surprised when he heard this and said, "He really thought that he would turn around and beg to complain to the East of Wuyang Palace!"
Queen Meng was surprised and said, "What did you say?"
"He had a conversation with him alone that day, and we broke up unhappily. He was very... well, he pushed him very much!" Sheng Weiqiao was a little embarrassed. Although Queen Meng was not as old as Li Shengxu in terms of status, she was But when Li Shengxu's serious aunt admitted that she bullied her nephew in front of her aunt, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed, "So he thought he was probably angry."
"What does he mean?" Queen Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She gently shook the ivory silk woven chrysanthemum butterfly pattern enamel-handled palace fan in her legs and said with a smile, "Why don't you just push it away? Marquis of Yichun You’re not a child anymore, how can Keke hold a grudge because of something like that?”
Sheng Weiqiao could tell by looking at her expression that the queen must have thought that the so-called "push" was similar to a flirting push. She might have thought that Sheng Weiqiao thought Li Shengxu would be angry because of this and took it seriously. Li Shengxu misunderstood his own sense of performance.
So he quickly explained: "The reason why he pushed him was because he said that after practicing boxing and improving his body, he could beat him and his maid together! So he pushed him and said that he would be fine in Wuyang Palace if he refused. Dong was very proud of Uncle Tu Shi, so there was no telling who would beat whom! He was so angry that he had nothing to say, so he walked away and left him alone in an unknown courtyard. After searching for him for a long time, he If you ask for directions, you won't be able to get back to Xizai."
Queen Meng's expression froze, and Dongcai calmed down and said, "Um...how could we talk about him asking me to punch my Zhi Tong in front of him?"
Weren't these two people told early in the morning that they were seeking a blind date
Even if you don’t flirt with him as soon as you meet him, you should at least show your best side politely, right? !
After all, although the two of them were not friends before, at least they didn't have any grudges, right
Empress Meng couldn't help but take advantage of the swaying of the palace fan to take a closer look at Sheng Weiqiao: the girl was wearing a snake bun with a bright moon, a fairy riding a phoenix, a coral-dotted jade ear hairpin, and a gilded blue hairpin. The tassels are inlaid with agate, precious flowers, and pearls, and she wears silver honey gold gourd earrings. There is a little plum blossom between the eyebrows. She doesn't use makeup, so she lightly touches her eyebrows and a little bit of red lips.
However, the skin looks like fine red porcelain, delicate and moist, red and delicate, almost transparent. The eyebrows and eyelashes are like ink, the lips are as bright as blood, and the hair is like crow's wings, black and shiny, as green as dark. , full of vitality unique to youth.
No matter how you look at it, she is a rare beauty... Even if she is a bit spoiled and petty when dealing with men in private, Empress Meng feels that Sheng Weiqiao, who is willing to take risks to save her, will never be pampered and willful. Nothing wrong can go wrong.
So how could Li Shengxufo say that he would beat her maid as well
"Is the Marquis of Yichun really too squeamish?" Queen Meng secretly asked in her heart, "Is it true that Princess Wuyang pampered her only son too much, to the point where he is such an old man that he doesn't even know how coquettishly coquettish girls are? He gave in a little bit, so much so that he even moved his legs during a good blind date... His face, which is prettier than him, was so red!!!"
When the queen was full of anger, Sheng Weiqiao tried hard to formulate her words and replied: "Well... that's it as we talk... Lord, is it because of Miss Meng Twelve... Qinglang, do I know? It was about ten years ago, right? , Miss Meng Twelve was very much like Miss Meng Shisan, and she often went to Princess Wuyang’s Mansion to play with Marquis Yichun. At that time, probably because the children were not sensible, they bullied Marquis Yichun for his poor health and beat them. Is it wrong that Marquis Yichun often teases and insults? Marquis Yichun is wrong for them... Well, I don’t like it a bit."
"Then after he finished talking to the Marquis of Yichun, when he was returning to the banquet, Miss Twelve and Princess Deping saw him. The Marquis of Yichun deliberately stepped on his skirt to prevent him from leaving. Miss Meng Twelve and Princess Deping were talking to each other. I paid him by mistake... After that, Yichun Marquis and Miss Meng Twelve, um, had some pushing."
"He didn't want to get involved too much with them, so he left as soon as he saw an opportunity."
"Later, the Marquis of Yichun is chasing him. Everyone is talking and moving their legs."
"It seems that in the final analysis, Meng Lifei was harmed by those two bitches Deping!" Queen Meng listened attentively to Sheng Weiqiao's selective remarks, nodded, and came to the conclusion, "I beg them for their shameless entanglement. Marquis of Yichun, intervene between the two of us, we were having a good chat. The reason why we got into a quarrel and even moved our legs was because of those two people!"
The queen suddenly seemed much more relaxed and said with a smile, "After all, it was only the second time we met, we didn't know each other very well, and we happened to have those two bitches trying their best to sow discord between us, so it would be easy for us to have misunderstandings like this. It’s inevitable! Fortunately, Meng Lifei’s very popular Dongchang will only be in those two days. There won’t be such a disappointing person among us in the future! We will meet Donglai more often and we will get to know each other more. , that’s fine.”
Hearing her words, Sheng Weiqiao seemed to be very keen on bringing him and Li Shengxu together, so he felt confused: "Qinglang, did you tell me about that thing in the east of Wuyang Palace?"
She wondered if Princess Wuyang really wanted to ask her to be her daughter-in-law. She knew that she was very popular with Queen Meng recently, so she specially entrusted Queen Meng's gang to say good things about Li Shengxu
However, Queen Meng was startled when she heard this, but shook her head and said: "No, he himself thinks that the Marquis of Yichun is a good husband for me. Firstly, he is good-looking; secondly, his family has a simple population and does not have any messy relatives; thirdly, he thinks that the Marquis of Yichun is a good husband for me. Princess Lai Wuyang is a smooth and sensible person, and she is not the kind of difficult mother-in-law to get along with. So... "
"... Qinglang, could it be that Princess Wuyang's palace suddenly ordered Uncle Tu Shi to discuss with his grandfather and tell him to the Marquis of Yichun, do you agree with my idea?!" Sheng Weiqiao became more and more interested as he listened, and interrupted him, "He really thinks that the princess, Princess Dong, has taken a fancy to him!"
"No..." Queen Meng was immediately embarrassed when she revealed her behind-the-scenes actions. She picked up the ivory silk woven chrysanthemum butterfly pattern enamel-handled palace fan and shook it vigorously for a few times before she felt a little relieved. He said in a guilty tone, "Actually, that day when the eldest princess Wuyang came into the palace to pay her respects to the queen, he happened to find it boring and went to Xinshou Palace to ask the queen to shut up. The three of them chatted for a while, and the topic unknowingly came to Yichun While Hou is here, the Queen Mother said that the Marquis of Yichun is now old and in good health, so it’s time to think about getting married.”
"The eldest princess Wuyang said that she was looking for a daughter-in-law, and she invited her mother to help her... He thought the Marquis of Yichun was good, so he mentioned me... Then everyone thought we were a good match, so the eldest princess Wuyang went to look for her when she returned. The long history went to deliver the news."
The queen fiddled with the tassels of the palace fan and said, "Yichun Marquis...well, although he...that...is a bit squeamish...but at least Princess Wuyang's position is relatively stable, no?"
"..." Sheng Weiqiao was really touched that time. Before, she had always felt that the reason why Queen Meng was so nice to her was probably due to some extraneous affair or conspiracy.
But that time Empress Meng intervened in her marriage. Although she was a bit suspected of being an agent and meddling in her own affairs, because the person she wanted to marry was the Marquis of Yichun, not the Meng family or the descendants of the Meng family, it was obvious that she was sincerely interested in Sheng Weiqiao. .
"The Marquis of Yichun...well, he is a nice person." So Sheng Weiqiao felt that he couldn't refuse him outright, as that would seem too ungrateful, so he just said tactfully, "Well...well, he himself is also a very delicate person. , so... I'm just afraid that if I'm with him, if there's a dispute or something like that in the future, I won't let him, he won't let me... then?"
When Queen Meng saw that she did not blame herself, she felt a big stone falling in her heart. She said sweetly: "Don't worry about that! He will go back to Wuyang and tell her to give Chunhou of Dongyi a good beating. She is such a big person and is so stingy. How tactful?! I don’t have to worry that Wuyang will be unhappy after hearing this. She is a famous person. After all, the Marquis of Yichun cannot hide behind her and become a pampered marquis for the rest of his life. We have to count on him to support the Li family’s family! It’s not because of Marquis Yichun’s poor health earlier. If he is in good health, Wuyang will definitely not let him go away if he doesn’t tell him!”
"... Well, actually he thinks they are not suitable for me." Seeing this, Sheng Weiqiao said immediately, "If he had been replaced by someone else, he would probably have followed the Marquis of Yichun. In the final analysis, it is not his temperament. Just keep your distance from the Marquis of Yichun..."
She persuaded Empress Meng to agree not to interfere anymore. She was afraid that the empress would miss that question, so she quickly talked about other things.
After having lunch in Jingshao Palace, seeing that Queen Meng had no other instructions, she resigned.
Empress Meng didn't keep her that time because the empress thought Gongsun Yingjiang was crying and looking for life, so she didn't want to delay Sheng Weiqiao's return to comfort her niece.
If Sheng Weiqiao didn't know, not long after she left, the palace maid Chun Lai came with a lacquer tray to change the refreshments for Empress Meng. Seeing the empress frowning and looking worried, she asked in a low voice: "Can the empress be the princess of Kangzhao County?" Are you disappointed that your meeting with the Marquis of Yichun ended on bad terms?"
Seeing the empress nodding listlessly, Chun Lai said in confusion, "Actually, I don't know what the matchmaker did, but she must ask to match the Lord of Kangzhao County to the Marquis of Yichun? To be honest, slave, the Lord of Kangzhao has been pampered since childhood, although she doesn't seem to be arrogant at the moment. He is domineering, but he certainly has a petty temperament. As the only son of Princess Wuyang, the Marquis of Yichun has always been supported and protected by a group of people, so he may not be able to tolerate the unruly young lady type of girl."
"Do you think that those two people from Wei and Wei are actually suitable for generous and open-minded partners?"
"The Empress Dowager said before that Uncle Chongxin is actually more suitable for the Lord of Kangzhao County than the Marquis of Yichun in terms of temperament?"
... Just now Empress Meng asked Sheng Weiqiao whether she had the idea to recommend Sheng Weiqiao because Princess Wuyang came into the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, so she had the idea to recommend Sheng Weiqiao. In fact, at that time, Meng After the queen made that suggestion, Princess Wuyang was not applauded. Queen Mother Meng frowned first and said that she had already taken a liking to what Sheng Weiqiao told Meng Guiyu.
The Queen Mother's idea was mentioned to Mrs. Xiang, and no one else knew about it.
Although Princess Wuyang thinks Sheng Weiqiao is suitable, she will definitely not compete with the Queen Mother.
However, Queen Meng was very insistent and found many reasons to object to the suitability of Meng Guiyu and Sheng Weiqiao. She insisted that the Queen Mother relented and supported Li Shengxu and Sheng Weiqiao.
Everyone present at that time, including Princess Wuyang and Chunlai, all thought that maybe it was because Sheng Weiqiao fell in love with Li Shengxu at the Night Pavilion that time, and that Queen Meng knew about it, so she went out of her way to shut her up
It turns out that Sheng Weiqiao came over just now, and Chunlai was waiting for the tea. Isn't it interesting to listen to that wrong Li Shengxu
At that time, I couldn't help but feel that Empress Meng went to a red house and worried in vain.
If I had known earlier, I would have been worse off just following the Queen Mother!
"Uncle Chongxin has a generous temperament and is more tolerant than the Marquis of Yichun. Why doesn't he know that?!" Upon hearing this, Queen Meng shook her head, narrowed her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she said lightly, "Bu There is a reason why he did that... I will know after a few months."
