Chapter 476 The Queen Summons
With the start of the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Meier's thoughts about Concubine Yun were quickly forgotten.

The dragon boat festival in the capital city is really grand and grand. There are hundreds of dragon boats alone. The largest dragon head dragon boat is even bigger and more luxurious than ordinary merchant ships. It requires hundreds of dragon boaters to drive it.

Li Meier's attention was attracted by the various dragon boats, and together with Sun Xiaowu, they evaluated each dragon boat enthusiastically, and even guessed which dragon boat was the best among all the boats.

The two were talking vigorously when several women in palace attire walked towards them.Sun Xiaowu obviously recognized them, stood up nervously, and called out sweetly, "Sister Mo Xiang, why are you here?"

The maid named Moxiang brought the maids behind her to salute Sun Xiaowu, and then said respectfully: "Miss Wu, the empress wants to talk to you and Miss Ying."

"Okay, then I'll go and tell my mother." Sun Xiaowu smiled and agreed without thinking.

Mo Xiang also nodded with a smile, and stood there waiting for Sun Xiaowu.When Sun Xiaowu turned around, Mrs. Xie was by her side. She greeted Mo Xiang kindly with a smile, and held her hand for a while, then slowly said: "Miss Mo Xiang , you also know that my Xiao Wu has always had a dispassionate temperament, if there is something inappropriate to say in a while, which makes the empress unhappy, you can help her more."

Mo Xiang still had a well-proportioned smile on her face, and replied to Xie's words, "Ma'am, what are you talking about, the fifth girl is the most innocent and lively, and the empress also likes her personality very much. Seeing her happy It’s too late, how could you be unhappy.”

"My own daughter, I know best, is too naive, anyway, please take care of me, Mo Xiang." Mrs. Xie took Mo Xiang's hand, her tone became more affectionate.

With Xie's sincere attitude, Mo Xiang naturally didn't say anything to evade, and nodded in agreement.

Mo Xiang had just finished exchanging greetings with Mrs. Xie, and Mo Yi, another maid next to the queen, also led Song Ziying over.

Song Ziying seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, holding the jade bone fan and shaking it gently, the corners of her lips were still slightly raised.

Mo Yi walked to Mo Xiang's side, leaned over and whispered something in her ear.

Mo Xiang was a little surprised when she heard the words, she glanced at Li Mei'er who was not far away calmly, and then nodded slightly.

Originally, when Song Ziying came over, Li Meier was a little nervous, her attention was always focused on the group of people in front, and she was also very keenly aware of Song Ziying's look at her, and her heart hung up for no reason.

Li Meier was feeling uneasy in her heart, when she saw Mo Xiang walking towards her slowly.

Li Meier is a good person, no matter how flustered she is, she can still maintain a calm look on her face. She waited for Mo Xiang to approach, then slowly stood up, waiting for her to speak.

That Mo Xiang's attitude was very kind, and she treated Li Meier not much differently from Sun Xiaowu. She gave a respectful blessing and said, "This is Miss Li, right? The Empress wants to talk to you over there."

Li Meier immediately showed a look of surprise, and then asked flatteredly: "This sister, why did the Empress come to talk to me?"

With a smile on Mo Xiang's face, he said lightly: "Miss Li, I don't know about this servant, but the empress is always kind, so you don't have to be afraid."

"Sister palace lady, I don't mean that. It's just that I haven't been in the capital for a long time, and I just wonder how the empress knows me." Li Meier lowered her head and asked with a look of doubt and fear.

"Miss Li, you don't have to think too much. If you have any doubts, you will know when you see the empress."

While the two were talking, Sun Xiaowu and Mrs. Xie also walked up to them. Mrs. Xie remained calm, looked at Mo Xiang and asked, "Miss Mo Xiang, this Miss Li is a guest from my house, what's the problem?" ?"

Mo Xiang looked at Mrs. Xie, and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that the empress wants to see Miss Li."

Mrs. Xie was surprised when she heard the words, and couldn't figure out why the queen suddenly wanted to see Li Meier, the daughter of a small family. She glanced at Li Meier worriedly, and was about to continue asking, when Song Ziying's voice with a faint smile sounded behind her, "Mo Sister Xiang, my aunt is waiting for us, let's go, we can't keep her waiting."

Indeed, there is no reason for the queen to wait for them.

Mo Xiang saluted Xie Shifu again, then turned around and prepared to leave with a few people.

Song Ziying followed immediately, and when she turned around, she gave Li Meier a meaningful look.Sun Xiaowu quickly followed, but looked back at Li Meier with some worry.

Li Mei'er was still a little hesitant, she saw that Sun Xiaowu and Song Ziying had both left, and then she gritted her teeth and followed, never mind her, she walks upright, sits upright, and is not afraid to see anyone.

Mrs. Xie also looked at the backs of several people worriedly, wondering why the queen suddenly wanted to meet such a commoner girl as Li Meier.

Mrs. Li hurried over with her little grandson in her arms, and asked anxiously, "Ma'am, where is my little girl going?"

Mrs. Xie was afraid that Mrs. Li would be worried, so she just pretended to be nonchalant and replied: "Old lady, it's nothing. Meier followed my girl to meet a nobleman. Maybe it's because of that girl Meier."

When Mrs. Li heard that she was going to see the nobleman, the anxious expression on her face eased a little, but she still asked with some doubts: "Why does the nobleman want to see my Mei Meier? My girl doesn't go out very often, so what about the nobleman?" know her."

Mrs. Xie thought that the old lady looked old, but she was not easy to be fooled at all, so she could only continue to say lightly: "Perhaps the nobleman saw Meier's outstanding talent, so he wanted to talk to her, you just relax .”

But Mrs. Xie's two words could not dispel Mrs. Li's doubts. Seeing that Mrs. Xie had been refusing to tell her the identity of the nobleman, she felt a little bad, but she didn't ask any more, just hugged Brother Jian and said : "Madam, my brother Jian has been arguing with me just now to find his uncle, why don't you ask someone to take our grandparents to his uncle's place."

Mrs. Xie guessed that Mrs. Li wanted to ask Jiang Yanzhi about the situation, so she didn't stop her, she nodded with a smile, and called her personal maid, who led the old and the young to find Jiang Yanzhi.

Mrs. Li hurriedly went to Jiang Yanzhi to tell about Li Meier. Over there, Li Meier had already boarded the boat to the Huxin Pavilion. Sun Xiaowu and Song Ziying were sitting on her left and right, and Mo Xiang was sitting opposite her. None of the four spoke.
