Chapter 477 each with their own minds

The boat landed quickly, and there were court ladies who came to meet her on the shore.Mo Xiang went ashore first, and then pulled Li Meier and the others ashore one by one.

Because apart from Li Meier, Song Ziying and Sun Xiaowu were not seeing Feng Jia for the first time, so Mo Xiang only looked at Li Meier and said: "I will see the empress in a while, remember not to look around, the empress doesn't like people who behave frivolously."

Li Meier has a low eyebrow and is pleasing to the eye, she should be well-behaved, she is secretly glad that she has studied with Mrs Zhengu since she was a child, and she has been fascinated by court etiquette, so that her eyes are not darkened, she doesn't know anything, and makes others laugh .

Song Ziying glanced at Li Mei'er from the side, and there was a hint of hope in her eyes.

And Sun Xiaowu deliberately slowed down, walked parallel to Li Meier, and said softly: "Look at me for a while, and you can do whatever I do."

Li Meier glanced at Sun Xiaowu gratefully, and nodded to show that she understood.

A group of people soon arrived at the three-story pavilion in the center.

The old emperor and all the harem concubines were watching the dragon boat on the balcony on the second floor.Mo Xiang handed over the badge to the imperial guards outside, and the imperial guards checked before letting a group of people in.Li Meier followed up the steps, her heart became more and more nervous, she still couldn't figure out why the empress wanted to see her, an unknown person.

When they got to the railing outside the terrace, Mo Xiang went in first to report, and several people waited outside.

Song Ziying deliberately stood in the front right now, with her slender neck raised slightly, like a proud and beautiful peacock.

Seeing her like this, Sun Xiaowu curled his lips in disdain, and winked at Li Meier again.

Li Meier lowered her head and suppressed a smile, but she didn't dare to respond to Sun Xiaowu.

After a while, Mo Xiang came out and led the three of them into the terrace.

Li Mei'er walked forward without looking sideways, neither flinching nor nervous, with a decent demeanor.

The accompanying maids were a little surprised, they knew that Li Meier was just a daughter of a small family, but looking at her words and deeds now, she was no worse than the Song family and the Sun family.

When Li Meier saw the queen, her mood was not as tense as before. She was not standing too close to the emperor and queen, but she was watching from a distance through a layer of glazed bead chains. The figure behind the curtain could be seen faintly. The Suzaku on the cloud temples swayed, and the thin bead-studded tassels swayed slightly.

The man's appearance should be benevolent, with a round face, fair and firm skin, and he can't tell that he is approaching forty at all.

Li Meier knelt down and saluted as taught by Aunt Zhen before, and her movements were as smooth as flowing water, without any mistakes.

She heard a gentle voice from behind the bead chain, "Get up, you don't need to be formal."

Li Mei'er got up slowly, lowered her eyes, waiting for the person behind the curtain to ask questions.

Empress Song looked at the three young girls standing outside the bead chain, and said to the old emperor beside her, "Your Majesty, I have already mentioned to you about Chengyou's marriage, and you keep talking about it, now I will take her two Everyone has been called, take a closer look and see which one is more suitable to be the crown princess?"

The old emperor looked at Song Ziying and Sun Xiaowu for a while, but his eyes fell on Li Meier who stood at the end, and he asked doubtfully, "Which family's lady is this?"

Empress Song laughed when she heard the words, and replied indifferently: "Didn't Your Majesty tell me about the newly promoted Tan Hualang a few days ago, saying that he refused your marriage offer because of his cousin? I don't know what kind of woman it is, it's a coincidence that he is so determined, Ying'er met this Miss Li today, so she came over and told me, and I wanted to invite her to come in and have a look with Your Majesty."

When the old emperor heard this, he looked at Li Meier carefully again, nodded his head and said in praise: "It's really a rare good-looking, Ying'er is almost inferior."

Seeing the old emperor's expression, Empress Song revealed a subtle smile, and asked again, "Does Your Majesty call her to speak?"

The old emperor seemed to be a little moved, but before he could speak, he heard a slight voice from the left, "Ouch..."

The old emperor immediately turned his head with great concern and asked, "Aifei, what's the matter? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Concubine Yun caressed her already big belly, a look of pain appeared on her pretty face, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I have walked too much today, and my stomach hurts..."

The old emperor's face immediately changed drastically, and he announced the accompanying imperial physician to come in without saying a word.

Empress Song on the side also showed concern, and said softly: "Sister, don't worry, the imperial doctor will be here soon."

The three of Li Meier standing outside did not hear what the empress behind the curtain said, but were suddenly invited aside by the maid, and then saw several people who looked like imperial doctors rushing in behind the curtain.

Li Mei'er guessed that the imperial doctor came in such a hurry, could it be that the old emperor suddenly fell ill, and felt a little uneasy for a moment, feeling that he really didn't read the almanac when he went out today.

The imperial doctor inside had already given Concubine Yun the upper pulse, and after careful inspection, he carefully replied: "Your Majesty, the emperor's heir in the empress's womb is fine, it's just a little fetal gas."

When the old emperor heard that the child was fine, he finally felt relieved, nodded and said: "Hurry up and prescribe some more anti-abortion decoction for Concubine Yun to drink."

The imperial physician responded quickly.

Concubine Yun's complexion has improved a lot now, she looked up at the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't continue watching the dragon boat with you, I want to go upstairs to the quiet room to rest first."

"I'll go there with you." The old emperor thoughtfully helped Concubine Yun up while talking, and carefully supported her waist to walk outside.

"The concubine sent the emperor respectfully." Empress Song always had a gentle smile on her face, watching the two leave hand in hand, but the veins in the hand holding the handkerchief were already showing.

When the old emperor and Concubine Yun came out together, everyone outside naturally had to salute and send them off. Li Meier lowered her head, only seeing a piece of bright yellow clothes and a gorgeous skirt flashing past her eyes. The two colors were far away, and she dared to raise her eyes a little, and saw that the two figures had disappeared at the door.

Li Meier always felt that the back of the concubine in the palace costume was so familiar, but she couldn't remember where she saw it, she just thought that she was too nervous, after all, how could she have seen the high-ranking concubine in the palace.

"It seems that Concubine Yun just felt unwell." The old emperor walked away, and Sun Xiaowu dared to speak now, and whispered in Li Meier's ear.

Li Meier didn't dare to speak, but nodded slightly. Sun Xiaowu still wanted to say something, and Mo Xiang walked over there, and said to them with a smile: "You two girls, come with me, my mother wants to talk to you. say."
