Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

Chapter 159

Views:

Queen Meng had said before that she wanted to find Ye Jiao to enter the palace to reminisce, and Qi Yun also knew about it.

What Qi Yun did not expect was that Empress Meng arranged the meeting time on the same day as the day when the first-class jinshi entered the palace.

When it comes to Ye Jiao, Qi Yunbian has to think more than other things.

But he thought about it all night, and what he could finally guess was that the Queen wasn't going to make this meeting too noticeable.

For this cross-horse parade, a lot of preparations have to be made inside and outside the palace, and everyone's eyes will definitely be fixed on the three first-class scholars, so no one will care who has entered the palace and seen the queen.

It was the next morning when Ye Jiao heard Qi Yun talk about it. She looked at her husband in confusion: "Why hide it from others?"

Qi Yun peeled Ye Jiao's eggshell and said, "She always has her own considerations, either for Qi Ming, or for herself. It's always justified. But it's good for our family to cover up."

Many relationships don't have to be shouted out to be good.

Just like Chu Chengyun's care for Qi Ming, the more he valued Qi Ming, the more he had to hide their personal relationship, for fear of being spy on their relationship and affecting Qi Ming's future fame and career.

I wanted to come to Queen Meng for the same reason.

After all, his family is just a businessman, and he never thought of becoming a high-profile family. His biggest wish is to be rich and have no relationship with the royal family. Naturally, there is no need to expose his reliance to others.

Ye Jiao was not very sensitive to these twists and turns, so she nodded when she saw Qi Yun saying this, then turned her head to face Xiao Su and said, "Then you don't need to prepare the carriage alone, then I will bring Xu Bao to China. It's the same when Ning's car goes in."

Xiao Su responded, while Qi Yun put the peeled boiled egg into Ye Jiao's bowl.

The little ginseng used chopsticks to tie the egg directly, took a bite, and then handed it to Qi Yun: "I also eat it."

Qi Yun didn't like to eat this at all, so he ducked back subconsciously and said, "It's okay, it's fine for Jiao Niang to eat."

Ye Jiao stared at him seriously: "No, my husband was tired yesterday, so he should eat more to make up for it."

As soon as these words came out, before Qi Yun could speak, Xiao Su lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "Second Young Master, Second Young Mistress, I'll go out and make arrangements." Then quickly left.

Knowing that Xiao Su had misunderstood, Qi Yun felt helpless, but couldn't explain it, so he could only lean over and eat the remaining half of the boiled egg, and then asked, "Where was I tired yesterday?"

Ye Jiao tilted her head slightly: "You went to coax Ning Bao and Ruyi at night, I know, Xianggong has worked hard, so let's eat another egg?"

Qi Erlang took Ye Jiao's hand and said slowly, "I'm full, where's Jiao Niang?" Seeing Ye Jiao nodding, Qi Yun smiled and said, "Why don't I choose a nice hairpin for you? ?"

Little Ginseng laughed immediately, nodded, and went to the inner room with him.

She was already used to letting Qi Yun draw her eyebrows and hairpins. After she became proficient in doing it, Qi Yun didn't feel it was a burden. Instead, it was an interesting affair between husband and wife, and she naturally enjoyed it.

When Ye Jiao was about to change, Qi Yun left the yard and went to the front hall to send a gift to her third brother.

Qi Ming couldn't sit still when he thought of going to the palace. He was even more nervous than before the palace exam. He went back and forth in front of the door, babbling in his mouth, not knowing what he was talking about.

Seeing Qi Yun coming, he trotted over, and the first sentence was: "Second brother, I'm hungry, but Liusi said that I can't eat or drink water."

Qi Yun nodded at Liusi, then looked at Qi Ming and said, "This is what I told him."

When Qi Ming heard this, his face wrinkled.

Since it was Qi Yun's order, it was a certainty that he couldn't change it, and he was doomed to starve.

But without waiting for Qi Ming to speak, he heard Qi Yun's indifferent voice: "This is for your own good, the time of the prelude may be long or short, if it drags on for a long time, no one will give you a chance to find a toilet, you It's better to be hungry."

Liusi nodded again and again when he heard the words. In fact, Qi Yun had told him all these words. He just had to pass it on to the third young master, but when Liusi was in a hurry, he stuttered more and more and couldn't say anything in his mouth. Can explain clearly.

Knowing that what Qi Yun said was reasonable, Qi Ming rested his mind and nodded in grievance, then shoved the book in his hand into Liusi's arms, took a deep breath, and said, "The second brother, I'm leaving. ." He looked at Liusi again, "I can't bring you this time, wait for me at home."

Liu Si looked at him eagerly, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

And when Qi Ming entered the palace this time, he could take a sedan chair.

At ordinary times, even officials who enter the palace are not allowed to be sedan chairs. Tianhuang nobles can ride in carriages, but the sedan chairs are still only the emperor and the concubines of the harem, and no one else thinks about it.

But there are always exceptions.

A Jinshi will get a lot of special treatment on this day. In addition to being able to walk across the street on a horse, you can also enter the palace in a sedan chair.

This is probably the most glorious moment for a scholar, and this is what he wants.

But now Qi Saburo is too nervous, he can't remember anything special or not, he just wants to finish the day quickly.

When Qi Ming walked out of the door, Qi Yun turned back to Tie Zi and said, "Go and let me know. If Princess Hua Ning's carriage arrives, let her go to Ximen first, and Jiao Niang will be there soon."

"Yes."

It's normal for Qi Ming to jump up when he hears this.

Princess Hua Ning? who? The girl who gave her little gold when she met

But now Qi Ming's whole body is tense, Qi Yun's words didn't get into his ears at all, and he almost walked on the same foot.

But after he entered the palace with the champion, everything was easier than he thought.

Chu Chengyun didn't embarrass them. When the three of them went to the imperial court to bow their heads and thank them, Chu Chengyun only said some diligent words. He neither asked about strategies nor asked anyone to speak alone. Everything was official and extraordinarily peaceful.

Even when he was facing Qi Ming, Chu Chengyun didn't have anything unusual. He didn't have the slightest closeness before, but instead, he took the attitude of a monarch and a minister, and asked Qi Ming to do a full set of kowtow before letting him get up.

But Chu Chengyun's actions made Qi Ming feel at ease, and his expression became much more relaxed.

Before they left, Chu Chengyun suddenly said something meaningful: "The three are the pillars of my dynasty, the world depends on the younger generation, and I hope that you will one day become the ministers of the arms and shares. , only then can I fulfill my expectations.”

The three bowed down immediately, and Xiao Zhuangyuan took the lead and said, "I will definitely live up to the entrustment of the Holy One."

Chu Chengyun smiled lightly, nodded, and watched them leave.

When the three of them left the hall, Chu Chengyun got up from the dragon chair, walked down the steps quickly, and said, "Where is Pingrong?"

Ye Pingrong, who was standing upright at the side, immediately stepped forward a few steps and cupped his hands: "This minister is here."

"Are they going to parade across the street today?" Chu Chengyun's eyes were filled with interest.

Ye Pingrong was originally unfamiliar with these things. He was a military general. He just studied the art of war and practiced martial arts well. He knew very little about scholars.

But now he is not only a general, but also a minister walking in front of the imperial court, and he is also a pure minister in the eyes of Chu Chengyun.

Ye Pingrong knew that he wanted to be by Chu Chengyun's side, so he had to know more or less what the emperor was concerned about, especially Hua Ning who valued these things more often. He inquired about all these things from Hua Ning early, and only now can he reply immediately: "Go back to the emperor, yes, someone will take them to change clothes, and then they will go to the street."

There was a smile on Chu Chengyun's face, and he said, "Alright then, you can also change into your casual clothes, and come and see with me."

"Yes."

Qi Ming didn't know that his righteous brother came out with him. He followed the palace servant to change his clothes. He didn't look sideways, his expression was flat, and he didn't dare to have the slightest emotion.

After he changed into the solemn dark red public uniform, he looked down at himself.

Even if it is not as dazzling as the bright red of Duke Zhuangyuan, it can be regarded as bright.

It's just that the clothes are a little bigger. Qi Ming is tall enough now, but he is young and a little thinner. Wearing these clothes is a little loose, so he can only use a belt to tie his waist tightly. It's the same, but if anyone sees the back, they can see that there are several layers behind it.

And when walking, be careful not to step on the hem of the clothes. The palace servant waiting on the side hurriedly said, "Don't worry about Tanhua Lang, you won't be able to see it when you sit down."

Xiao Zhuangyuan has the demeanor of everyone's children, and he behaves with etiquette and manners, but it also makes people a little unapproachable. At this moment, he heard the voice and looked back, and then looked indifferently and staggered his eyes, ignoring him.

Guo Chengji, who won the second place in the list, was very lively. When Qi Ming was trying to fiddle with the belt, he smiled and came over to help Qi Ming, saying: "This dress is really big, you don't want to sit on the horse later. Move around casually, or you will definitely get creases."

Qi Ming was already sweating profusely, and he couldn't sort it out. Now, seeing that someone was helping him, and Guo Chengji quickly sorted it out for him, he breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, and said to Guo Chengji: " Thank you Guo Bangyan…”

"Don't, I can't be the second place on the grasshopper list, just call me by my name." Guo Chengji smiled and looked at Qi Ming, saying, "I originally wanted to take the martial arts exam, but unfortunately my father's fate was hard to resist, so I could only obey, Looking back, if I'm really lucky enough to get a general, then you can call me General Guo again."

Qi Ming felt that Guo Chengji was very close to him, and seemed a little too enthusiastic, but this person looked at enthusiasm, Qi Ming was not a temper that liked to think badly about people, so he smiled and said: "Then I hope Chengji can get it someday. Get what you want."

Guo Chengji immediately laughed loudly, so loud that Xiao Zhuangyuan frowned, and Qi Ming felt his ears jarred.

Qi Saburo couldn't help but think, this Guo Bangyan really doesn't look like a scholar, and he should fight to kill the enemy just with a voice louder than a gong.

A loud shout is sure to scare several to death first.

When going out, Qi Ming also got on the horse with the help of Guo Chengji, otherwise he would be embarrassed as a scholar who can't ride a horse.

Qi Ming didn't know that Guo Chengji would help him at this moment because his father's fate was hard to beat.

The Guo family was the uncle's family of Princess Hua Ning, and Guo Chengji's father was the first-rank hussar general of the dynasty. Their Guo family also contributed to Chu Chengyun's ascension to the throne. Naturally, it was on the emperor's side.

Others may not know the relationship between Chu Chengyun and Qi Ming, but the Guo family is very clear.

They don't break it, they fulfill the emperor's face.

But it is also appropriate to let his son Lang and Qi Ming have a good relationship in private.

Originally, Guo Chengji just wanted to put on a pretence. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and even though he was not bad at reading, he still had the outspoken temper of a martial arts practitioner.

As a result, after seeing Qi Ming, I felt that this young man was easy to get close to, especially with the contrast of the Xiao family's eyes higher than the top, which made Qi Ming more friendly.

So when the three of them rode out of the palace gate, Guo Chengji had come to Qi Ming's side, chatting with him, and the chat was very lively.

Xiao Zhuangyuan didn't get involved, and kept walking in front of him on horseback, without saying a word.

But when they walked to the long street, they all closed their mouths.

Qi Ming didn't know what the people next to him thought, but for him, everything in front of him was too shocking.

Before, he also followed Manager Qin around the capital. At that time, he felt that the capital was getting bigger, but it was not much different from the town in his hometown. It was still the streets and alleys, and it was still the common people. Nothing new.

But at this time, when he saw the crowd in front of him and the flowers on both sides flying, he felt that the capital was different after all.

The avenue is narrow and sloping, with white horses and seven incense carts.

The shops lined up on both sides are full of people, especially on the second and third floors of the pavilion. Many women with flower baskets looked at them with a smile when they saw them come on horseback.

Not far away, there were several carriages parked, and by looking at it, you could tell that it was an official family.

Qi Ming was a little dazed, not sure what was going to happen.

Guo Chengji explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, this happens every three years. I heard that you were almost caught before? Don't worry this time, even if they want to tie you back to be their son-in-law, they won't dare. Yes." After speaking, Guo Chengji straightened up and smiled at the person in front of him, "Lead the horse firmly."

The officer who was leading the horse responded immediately, and the hand holding the bridle tightened.

Qi Ming still didn't quite understand what the women with the flower baskets were doing, but he soon understood the meaning.

Just as they walked over, a lot of flowers fell one after another.

The women carrying flower baskets are dressed differently and have different identities, but at the moment they are all laughing and throwing flowers down. throw flowers at the man's horse.

This flower is not something like a handkerchief purse, and if you throw it to them, it won't cause any big problems.

There will even be guards who are specially responsible for picking flowers to follow, put away the flowers thrown over, and finally, after walking around the capital, they will get together to compare the three people who have the most flowers, but it becomes a good talk.

After all, the people in the capital are just people, and they all love to join in the fun.

Now this is the lively once every three years, of course, I want to come and have a look.

The casinos have opened markets, and they are ready to press who will spend the most this time.

Although Qi Ming is only a tanhualang, he has a handsome appearance and a young age. Even if his family background is average, Qi Ming is really outstanding just by looking at his face.

Qi Ming didn't understand the meaning of it for the time being, but the smiling faces impressed him deeply.

Qi Ming, who was in the sea of flowers, suddenly understood the meaning of the poem.

The spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and I can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.

Even though the meaning is slightly different, the mood is the same. It seems that this moment alone makes the ten years of cold window hardships meaningful.

There was a smile on Qi Ming's face, showing two tiger teeth, which made him more and more likable.

But at this moment, Qi Ming saw a flower that was obviously different.

It was bigger and shiny, and it landed right on the head of the horse he was riding.

The horse of the champion is white, and the horse of the second place is the purplish red horse, and the mane is slightly darker, but because of this, the flower appears more conspicuous when it falls on it.

Qi Ming couldn't help but reach out and pick it up, fiddled with it, and found that it was shiny because it looked realistic, but when you squeezed it in your hand, you could recognize it was a flower made of jade.

Such carvings and materials are not like ordinary objects, and it would be too extravagant to just throw a jade flower down.

He couldn't help but look up at the place where the flowers came from, and directly met a pair of eyes that were as bright as stars.

It was a girl in a moon-white dress, standing on the second floor of the tea shop and looking down.

But before Qi Ming could see what she looked like, the girl had already turned and left, looking a little flustered, her hand was still touching the black hair, apparently she had just thrown the jade flower on her head in a hurry.

Then, Qi Ming saw the old woman who was chasing after the girl.

His eyesight is very good, even if he is far away, he can recognize at a glance that it is the old woman who helped him out of the siege before.

... have you met a benefactor

Qi Ming was a little stunned, but this meeting and leaving was just a momentary thing, and did not attract too much attention from others.

Even if someone saw it, they only saw Qi Ming pick up a flower, and would not see any difference in the flower.

Guo Chengji, who was on the side, saw him stunned, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter with you?"

Almost subconsciously, Qi Ming flipped his wrist and held the jade flower in his hand without showing it to others. Hearing this, he lowered his head slightly and said softly, "It's nothing." Then he quickly stuffed the jade flower into his sleeve, but his ears were not famous.

The horse's hoofs moved steadily and led Qi Ming forward. He had to walk the entire capital, and the road was still very long.

But Steward Qin, who has been following Qi Ming, saw everything clearly. Even if he didn't see anything Qi Ming was hiding, Steward Qin knew the temperament of his third young master very well, and he could guess when he saw his ears were red. an approximate.

So he pulled Dong Wu, who was following him, and said in a low voice, "Go back to the house and tell the second young master, the third young master picked up a flower and left."

Hearing this, Dong Wu hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Steward Qin, is this a good or bad thing?" To stand still.

Steward Qin did not answer immediately, but just watched the girl take the old lady onto the carriage and quickly disappeared into the crowd. Steward Qin carefully distinguished the carriage of the carriage, squinted his eyes, and said softly, "It's not bad or it's bad. , I just hope it will be a happy event.”

And when the street was lively and lively, the carriage of the princess' mansion also entered the palace smoothly.

Hua Ning had been holding Xu Bao on the carriage, holding a small gold ingot to coax him to play, while looking at Ye Jiao and asking, "What about those two little guys?"

Ye Jiao was breaking the milk cake into small pieces and feeding it to Xu Bao, and she replied: "They are still young and can't even talk. It is difficult to take care of the three children when they are brought out. The husband said that Xu Bao should come to see the empress first. , they will wait until they grow up."

Hua Ning also felt reasonable, so he lowered his head and kissed Xu Bao's head, and said with a smile, "Xu Bao is the best, right?"

Xu Bao immediately raised his head proudly, and replied crisply: "Yes, Xu Bao is good!"

"Then Xu Bao promised me that he would be obedient later, okay?"

Xu Bao blinked and replied with a smile: "Okay, Xu Bao, listen to my aunt."

This name was learned after he saw Chu Chengyun last time, and his uncle's daughter-in-law was naturally his aunt.

However, Hua Ning's face was flushed, and he reached out to rub his face, causing a big mess.

Ye Jiao watched them laughing uncontrollably, and then felt the carriage stop.

"Your Highness, Madam Qi, here we are."

Hua Ning got out of the car with Xu Bao in his arms, while Ye Jiao helped Xiao Su to get down last. When she raised her head on the bluestone road, what she saw was the majestic palace and the high steps.

This place is not as elegant as an ordinary mansion. Everything in this palace is open and closed, and in front of the queen's palace is a large open space, and it takes a long way to walk there.

Seemingly seeing Ye Jiao's question, Hua Ning said with a smile, "Everything in this palace is spacious, just to be prepared for assassins to hide, so it looks a little ugly."

As soon as these words came out, the palace servants on the side lowered their heads and pretended not to hear.

If someone else said that, even if she didn't slap her mouth, she would be punished, but Princess Hua Ning was a nobleman of heaven and the emperor's favorite younger sister. Not to mention talking about the ugly palace, even if she also learned the way the emperor used to do. The thousand carp pond was cleaned and roasted to eat, and no one dared to say a word.

Xu Bao's eyes widened, he looked left and right, and he heard "wow" from time to time, hearing Hua Ning kiss him again and again.

When Queen Meng saw them, Xu Bao already had several red lipstick marks on his face, but he still obediently kissed Hua Ning's face when he came over, with a smile on his face, Looking good-natured.

Empress Meng saw Xu Bao for the first time, but she couldn't move her eyes after just one glance, but she held back and did not hug her, but walked towards Ye Jiao with a smile, and said, "Jiao Niang, long time no see, is everything okay? "

Ye Jiao looked at Empress Meng blinking her eyes and hesitated before saying, "The Empress..."

"Call me Huiniang." Empress Meng waved away the palace servants, leaving only the two who were waiting for her. She said while holding Ye Jiao in the door with a smile.

The little ginseng was not an ordinary woman. She was very bold. After listening to Queen Meng's words, she changed her name neatly: "Huiniang, you look much better than last time." The sallow fingers are on Queen Meng's wrist. Shaking her hands, Ye Jiao smiled with her brows and eyes curled, "My body is getting better too."

As soon as these words came out, Hua Ning looked at Empress Meng in surprise.

Recently, Empress Meng often summoned the imperial physician, and she seemed to be the most ill, but now listening to Ye Jiao's words, she seems to be in good health

Empress Meng smiled faintly and did not speak, but went to the table with Ye Jiao and sat down.

And Xu Bao was also held in her arms by Queen Meng.

Seeing the lip stain on Xu Bao's face, Empress Meng glanced at Hua Ning with a half-smiling smile, and seeing Hua Ning's guilty conscience turned her eyes away, Empress Meng didn't say much, just let someone twist the wet handkerchief. Come, carefully wipe Xu Bao.

Xu Bao raised his face obediently, looked at Queen Meng with round eyes, and suddenly said, "Niangniang, eat cake."

Empress Meng was stunned for a moment, and then saw Xu Bao holding the milk cake in his hand up high and handing it to her.

This made the always calm Empress Meng a little at a loss. Even though she was smart, she rarely got along with her children. Those children were often trembling in front of her. The first time she encountered such a well-behaved baby doll, Empress Meng looked at her blankly. Ye Jiao.

Ye Jiao smiled and said, "Xu Bao likes you. If you don't eat Huiniang, just praise him."

His son has always been familiar and good-natured. As long as he is not regarded as a bad person like Chu Chengyun, he has always been very enthusiastic towards Xu Bao.

This milk cake is a means of showing his favor, you can eat it or not.

Who knew that Queen Meng stared at Xu Bao, lowered her head and took a bite on the milk cake in his hand, then hung a golden lock on Xu Bao's neck.

When he met another person who gave gold, Xu Bao smiled and curled his eyebrows, leaned over and kissed Queen Meng's face.

Queen Meng bent the corners of her mouth, pinched his chubby cheeks, and finally said, "What a good boy, how good."

Hua Ning felt sad when she heard this, but took Xu Bao with a smile on his face and said, "I'll take Xu Bao around, you can talk." Then he took Xu Bao and left.

Empress Meng asked people to serve snacks and chat while eating.

They had known each other for a long time, and in Ye Jiao's place, Queen Meng had nothing to hide. Ye Jiao knew everything before and after Chu Chengyun's ascension to the throne. Even Chu Chengyun's life was picked up by Ye Jiao. There is gratitude, but also closeness. There are some things that Hua Ning can't say, but they can tell Ye Jiao.

It was just at this moment that a palace servant came in and said, "Niangniang, a woman of destiny handed over a sign and wanted to see her."

Ye Jiao couldn't help but glance at Queen Meng when she heard this.

Empress Meng covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, her eyes flashing indifference, but her voice was still gentle: "Bengong is not feeling well today, no one is here, let her go back."

"Yes."

After the palace servants left, Queen Meng did not speak for a long time.

In fact, she has done everything she can, and so does Chu Chengyun, a husband like him who protects his wife, not to mention emperors, even ordinary people can't find a second one.

But in the same way, Queen Meng knew very well that the Tian family couple was destined to take on more.

Ordinary people do not have children, but if the emperor has no children and no daughters and does not accept concubines, he will be criticized at the lightest level, and the country will be shaken at the serious level.

Empress Meng knew Chu Chengyun's ambitions, and also understood the arguments of the court and the public. She was pleased with Chu Chengyun's persistence, but she knew that if it continued like this, she was afraid that her persistence would not bring good results in the end.

She put down her chopsticks gently, looked at Ye Jiao, and suddenly asked, "Jiao Niang, everyone envy one person for the rest of their lives, do you believe it?"

Ye Jiao listened to Qi Yun read this poem. It was a promise from her husband, so she naturally nodded and replied, "Trust."

Queen Meng said softly, "If you didn't do it, would you still be with him?"

Ye Jiao has a simple temperament, she really remembered after hearing the words, and shook her head after a while: "No, if I believe him, he won't. If Xianggong doesn't do it, then I believe in the wrong person. It can't be said that he is not together anymore, he can't live."

Ye Jiao said these words frankly and truthfully.

Qi Yun's life was saved by her. Even now, Qi Yun's congenital insufficiency has not been better. If she relaxes a little, her body will become weak.

It was just that Ye Jiao was busy before, and the time with him was less, so Qi Yun was about to catch the cold.

This is why the disease has never been cured.

It's just that this is nothing to Ye Jiao, they are going to be together for a lifetime, as long as they live, Qi Yun can live.

She was his medicine, always.

But if Qi Yun were not together with her, his body would naturally deteriorate and he would not be able to live.

It's just that after hearing this in Queen Meng's ears, she felt that Ye Jiao was resolute and would rather be broken than broken.

Empress Meng not only did not think Ye Jiao was cruel, but envied her wantonness.

Having achieved a high position as a queen, with a family behind her, an emperor by her side, and subjects below her, she has long since lost her wanton power.

Ye Jiao ate the rest of the hibiscus cake and drank another cup of tea before continuing, "Besides, even if my husband wanted to, he wouldn't have a chance."

Qi Yun can only see her all the time, and she still has some confidence in the little ginseng.

Empress Meng thought of Qi Yun's body and bones. In her memory, Erlang Qi was still the weak one who coughed up blood at every turn. She couldn't help but nodded: "That's right, he really has no chance."

Ye Jiao always felt that she and Huiniang were not talking about the same thing, but she couldn't hear what was wrong, so she didn't ask any more, but smiled and took another piece of cake.

When Hua Ning came back with Xu Bao in his arms, the little guy was already asleep.

Queen Meng will not keep Ye Jiao any longer. This time she invited Ye Jiao to the palace because she wanted to catch up with her, and also to see Xu Bao, a good girl who was blown away by Hua Ning. , Seeing and seeing, Queen Meng smiled and said: "Take the child back and have a good rest, I will let you pack these snacks and take them away."

Ye Jiao was not polite to her, she thanked her with a smile, and hugged her fat son to leave.

But she quickly turned around and walked back, standing in front of Queen Meng, staring at her.

Even though Ye Jiao's main focus was on snacks just now, the little ginseng has a clear mind. In fact, she could hear that Queen Meng wanted a baby, and she could also see that she liked Xu Bao.

Ever since Empress Meng let herself still call her Huiniang, Ye Jiao thought they were friends, and there was no need to hide some words.

Just now, she checked the pulse of Queen Meng, and knew that the queen's corrupt body had been gradually repaired, and now it is no different from ordinary people, as long as she is careful and natural.

And this meticulous, can not do without the help of the potted flowers that I sent.

Ye Jiao looked left and right, smiled and said to Queen Meng, "Where is the auspicious flower I gave you before?"

Queen Meng had the screen removed, pointed at it, and said, "I put it in the inner room."

However, the inner room of this palace is much larger than that of ordinary people. Ye Jiao looked at it and said, "Put it on the bedside, keep it close, and it's good for your body."

Empress Meng responded and asked her to move. Ye Jiao smiled, hugged Xu Bao and bowed to Empress Meng, "Then I will wish Huiniang an early birth of a precious son."

Empress Meng also showed a smile and said warmly: "Cheng Jiao Niang Ji Yan, if this palace is really happy," the voice paused, Empress Meng looked at the jade beads in her hand, raised her head and said to Ye Jiao, "This string The beads were given to Xu Bao to play with."

Ye Jiao looked at her wrist with a smile, and seemed to be certain that this thing would be hers.

But this kind of gaze made Empress Meng happy, even if she felt that Ye Jiao comforted her, she felt happy.

Compared with the sympathetic or sympathetic eyes of others, Ye Jiao's bright and straightforward smile made Queen Meng more happy.

But after Hua Ning and Ye Jiao left, Empress Meng felt a little lonely.

The quiet after the lively is always extremely difficult.

She made it to the soft couch, reached out and took out the box on the couch, opened it, and poured the contents on the couch.

It was a handful of beans. There were red beans and black beans. It was hard to tell when they were mixed together.

Queen Meng leaned on the square pillow, bowed her head slightly, and divided the beans with a calm expression.

Each piece is divided very slowly, and gradually, the mind can settle down.

But just as she was about to finish the separation, she heard a few whips from outside.

Empress Meng immediately gathered up the beans and put them back in the box, then tidied up her hair and clothes, and after she settled down, she quickly walked towards the palace door.

Before reaching the door, he saw Chu Chengyun who was walking in the door.

The young emperor had an undisguised excited smile on his face. When he saw Empress Meng, he immediately smiled and said, "Huiniang, you look much better than yesterday."

Empress Meng smiled softly, and seeing the sweat on his forehead, she sent someone to serve tea, while she entered the inner room with Chu Chengyun, wiped him with a handkerchief in her hand, and said, "Xiang Gong Yin Why are you so happy?"

Chu Chengyun picked up the tea bowl, drank it directly, and then waved away all the palace servants, not even those who were close to him. After they left, he approached Queen Meng's ear mysteriously and lowered his voice. Said: "I want to do some matchmaking with Huiniang, okay?"
