After getting off the carriage, the old eunuch greeted him with a smile: "Princess, come with me to the palace. The Queen Mother may be impatient at this time."
Mo Xuetong put a banknote into his hand and asked with a smile: "I don't know what I call you father-in-law."
"Our surname is Yu. We serve the Queen Mother in the Cining Palace. We usually help her raise flowers and plants." Eunuch Yu calmly accepted the banknote, his attitude becoming more and more kind.
I nodded secretly in my heart. Although she is young, she is sensible. No wonder Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess wants to recognize her as her daughter. She is indeed very kind and beautiful.
Mo Xuetong followed him inside and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Eunuch Yu, Eunuch Yu. My little girl is stupid. She has never received an order from the Queen Mother. She is really frightened. I wonder if the Queen Mother suddenly summoned my little girl. What's the matter? I hope Eunuch Yu can give me some advice."
His expression was respectful and sincere, as if he was open-minded and willing to be taught.
"Princess, don't worry. The Queen Mother heard that the eldest princess has a new and well-behaved daughter, so she just wants to meet you. The Queen Mother is very kind and loves the younger generation. If the Princess can favor the Queen Mother, she will be favored in the future. It's very beneficial." Eunuch Yu said with a smile, which naturally meant that he wanted Mo Xuetong to please the Queen Mother.
But these words were very vague. The Queen Mother had always lived in the deep palace, and even the rights of the harem were given to the Queen alone, as if she really didn't care about worldly affairs. But since the last time she found out that Prince Ning had entered the capital, Mo Xuetong knew. The Queen Mother must have deep intentions. For the sake of Prince Ning, or for the sake of Prince Ning's great cause, she was hiding her power and biding her time.
But I don’t know why she targeted herself.
Could it be that now is what the Queen Mother thinks is the best time
Full of doubts, he still laughed and talked with Eunuch Yu, all the way to Cining Palace.
The Empress Dowager was sitting in the main hall of Cining Palace, dressed in noble but simple clothes, with a pale face, and her eyes were as calm as ancient wells, with some nobility that could not be washed away by the years. Her lower head Those sitting there turned out to be Princess Xianjun, who had a relationship with Mo Xuetong, and a woman in her forties or fifties.
On the other side sat a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, holding a fan with jade in her hand. The paintings on it were obviously treasures.
Mo Xuetong went inside, knelt down and saluted the Queen Mother who was sitting in the middle, and said, "I have met the Queen Mother. I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health, and may she enjoy honor forever." After saying that, she kowtowed heavily.
"You are the adopted daughter Mingzhu has newly recognized, raise your head." The Queen Mother's gaze fell lightly on her face, and when she responded, she raised her head, nodded, and examined her carefully.
"The Queen Mother, the Princess' new princess is really beautiful. She is not much inferior to the one in your family. If I didn't tell you clearly, I would have thought she was your real granddaughter." Princess Xian is Anyone who had seen Mo Xuetong's eyes turned around at this moment, and he joked with a smile.
"This girl is really getting better and better at talking, and she's not afraid of others laughing at her." The Queen Mother smiled and scolded her in a kind manner.
"How come, I dare to be so presumptuous in front of your Majesty? It's not because the Queen Mother is kind. Even if I go overboard a little bit, your Majesty will forgive me." Princess Xianjun greeted with a smile.
"No, everyone knows that the Queen Mother has a Buddha's words and a heart. How can she really annoy the concubines? Let's talk about the concubines. I was so frightened that I couldn't find my way when I entered the palace for the first time. It's not because of the kindness of the Queen Mother that I didn't. At that time, I was so frightened that I couldn't even salute. I was pardoned. Now that I think about it, I am still very grateful to the Queen Mother." Mrs. Mingyang Marquis sitting aside also said jokingly.
The Queen Mother was so happy when she said this, she couldn't help but laugh: "You are also a poor talker, but you follow Ruoling and sing in harmony to make the Ai family happy."
After saying that, he turned to Mo Xuetong with a smile and said: "Anping, please get up too. Please give me a seat. Let's see if I have to kneel for a long time and hurt my knees. Why don't Mingzhu worry about the Ai family?"
She said this very casually, as if she was really joking with her granddaughter. With a touch of affection, the palace maid helped Mo Xuetong up and took her to the side to sit down on a wide-backed chair. The palace maid had already given it to her. Silently fragrant tea, and then retreated to the hatchback.
"I heard that Princess Anping has such grace before she is fourteen years old. She is indeed a rare beauty. There is really no one in the capital who can compare with her." Yu, who was sitting on the other side of the Queen Mother, The concubine covered her lips with a fan and smiled softly.
"You, you are the only beauty in this palace, no matter how beautiful you are, you are still making sarcastic remarks." The wife laughed and scolded, and then said to Mo Xuetong: "This is the jade concubine of Caiwei Palace, you should recognize it! "
The Jade Concubine of Caiwei Palace is the sister of Yu Mingyong. I heard that Yu Mingyong finally came out, but she was frightened and frightened in the Ministry of Punishment, and couldn't eat or sleep well. She must be sick after she came out. Besides, There is also the matter of the Yu family. This Concubine Yu is not someone who is easy to measure.
"See the Jade Concubine." Mo Xuetong stood up and bowed respectfully to the Jade Concubine. No matter what, in name, the Jade Concubine was not only the concubine of Emperor Zongwen, but also her elder. She couldn't let her catch her. At any time, Concubine Jade will never be as delicate and harmless as she appears.
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. Please sit down." Concubine Yu said with a kind smile, as if she did not remember the dispute with Mo Mansion at all. She stood up and pulled Mo Xuetong up affectionately. She looked at her carefully before turning back to the Queen Mother. Said: "The Empress Dowager just praises me. The beauty of Princess Anping is incomparable to me. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful woman after she was born. It is really true that the Qin State can have such a stunning beauty." Thanks to my great blessing."
Mo Xuetong didn't understand whether her appearance was good or not, and what it had to do with Hongfu, who had entrusted her to the Queen Mother. It was just that Concubine Yu held herself up so high that she quickly lowered her eyes. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to say. A flash of light flashed across her watery eyes. Flustered, he looked at the Queen Mother helplessly, blinked his eyes, looking innocent and confused.
"Okay, okay, let's see if she's scared. Come Anping and sit here at Ai's house." The Queen Mother showed a kind smile on her face and pointed to the person next to her. There were already smart palace servants. A small table was placed in front of the Queen Mother, and Mo Xuetong sat sideways.

"Anping, I heard that your mother was Luo Xia from the Fu Guogong Palace. I didn't expect that she died at such a young age. It is really pitiful to leave a daughter like you behind. Mingzhu used to be very close to your mother. If it weren't for Later, when the two of us had differences, we wouldn't have ignored you all the time." The Queen Mother sighed, with gentle eyes, and reached out to touch Mo Xuetong's head, showing her kindness.
"My mother's son has been ill. This illness has been going on for many years. Finally..." Mo Xuetong was filled with tears and couldn't continue for a while. Her beautiful eyes were covered with a light mist, and her jade-like skin was set off without makeup. There is a hint of fragility in her face, so beautiful that it makes her heartache.
His face was sad, but his heart was twisting and turning. Did the eldest princess and her mother lose contact because of differences? What kind of differences can cause two close friends to stay away from each other for the rest of their lives? In her previous life, the eldest princess not only never asked her mother about anything, but in the end she even suppressed the government of Fuguo. There could be some other hidden secrets in this.
The Queen Mother patted her hand with a smile, and pulled out the Buddhist beads in the other hand slowly. She smiled and comforted her and said: "At least your mother left you with a daughter who is like a flower and the moon, and now she has become the daughter of a pearl. She Become good friends with your mother. From now on, you and your mother will be real mothers and just love each other. Mingzhu is also suffering a hard life. Now that I have you, I can at least have some comfort."
"The Queen Mother, you are so kind to the eldest princess. The eldest princess is blessed to have a mother like you, so how can she have a miserable life? Now she is fine, she has such a daughter again, and she will marry a distinguished daughter in the future. Husband-in-law, the eldest princess’s days of happiness are still to come!” Princess Xianjun also said with a smile.
"Princess, you are wrong. The princess has a distinguished status now. I am afraid she will have to marry off in the future. With the princess' current status, not everyone can marry if they want to." Mrs. Mingyang Hou followed closely. After saying a word, he spoke with a smile.
"Who said that the status of a princess can only be married off? The eldest princess is reluctant to bear the daughter she got with such difficulty to marry, and our queen mother is also reluctant to bear the unsatisfactory marriage of the newly recognized princess." The palace fan in the hand of Concubine Yu was light. He shook it lightly, burst into laughter, pointed at Madam Mingyang Hou with the fan and retorted.
"Of course the Jade Concubine said so, but there are really not many people who can be worthy of the status of princess. Except for a few princes and princes, it's really hard to say, but those few will all have concubines. It's the emperor's decree, and The princess is really too young and too late. If the Queen Mother had known that she had such a beautiful granddaughter, she would have asked for a marriage. On the one hand, she did not wrong the princess, and on the other hand, she still married into the royal family. Don't worry, the eldest princess." Mrs. Mingyang Hou moved her mouth and said slowly.
After saying that, he turned back to look at the Queen Mother and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, that's right!"
"Your mouth is becoming more and more talkative now. I heard that Marquis Mingyang was eaten to death by you. There are only a few old Tongfangs around here, and they haven't added anyone to you until today." The Queen Mother smiled and scolded in a gentle tone.
Mrs. Mingyang Marquis immediately looked shy and said reluctantly: "Queen Mother, how can you listen to people's nonsense, how can I dare to interfere with the Marquis's affairs? It was the Queen Mother who gave me a marriage back then, how can I still return it now?" Take this matter as an example, it makes me lose face."
"Look, this is really a complaint against the Ai family. Could it be that the Ai family did not receive a good marriage gift?" The Queen Mother smiled, put down the prayer beads in her hand, took the tea sent by the palace maid and took a sip.
"The Queen Mother..." Mrs. Mingyang Hou blushed so hard that she couldn't continue.
This person is actually Mrs. Mingyang Hou, the sister of Mrs. Zhenguo Hou! Mo Xuetong was secretly vigilant. The only person sitting here was Princess Xianjun. She didn't know whether they were friends or enemies. If the other three really came to chat with her, she really wouldn't believe it. Just the Queen Mother would make her believe it. The other party will not target without aim, and the scheming Queen Mother is not someone who just sits around and listens to other people's chatter.
What is their purpose today? If you don't leave the marriage issue at all, why would you come here specifically to confer marriage for yourself today
Although her marriage has not been made clear, people in the palace should know what Emperor Zongwen means. What does the Queen Mother want to do now? If she wants to step in and grant herself a marriage, she is not afraid of arousing Emperor Zongwen's anger. If the marriage is granted, she will not be afraid of it. To whom is it given, a person who is not inferior to the prince
Although Mo Xuetong had a shy smile on her face, her eyes were cold. She lowered her eyes to cover up the coldness in her eyes. Her brain was spinning rapidly. Is there such a person inside? You can stand shoulder to shoulder with Feng Juexuan and the others. You must know that these people are expected to be in the ninth grade. Is there anyone else who can compare with them
Ning... King! Mo Xuetong suddenly thought of something, her eyes widened suddenly, her body froze, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath! Yes, there is someone, there is someone who can compare the identities of the three of them to Yu Feng Jue Ran. It is Prince Ning, Prince Ning Feng Jue Zhen!
The Queen Mother actually wanted to give her to Prince Ning Feng Juezhen!
With the power of the Queen Mother suppressing her, what should she do? What can she do
The best way is to leave before the Queen Mother says anything, but now, how can she leave!
For a moment, my heart was racing with anxiety, and I couldn't help but break out in cold sweat!
If the Empress Dowager made it clear that she wanted to marry, even Emperor Zongwen would not be able to object. (To be continued)
