she has golden eyes

The new emperor was about to ascend the throne, and he treated the old ministers leniently, and news came out from the palace that the empress dowager's health had improved, and everyone in Beijing breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though there were still many clan relatives and important ministers who were dissatisfied with Meng Shuyi's case, the father and son of the King of Shu were extremely filial and served the Empress Dowager's side every day, so no one dared to complain anymore.

Concubine Xiao of Shu and her son Li Jinfeng rushed to the capital before the enthronement ceremony, and it happened that the old lady of the Xiao family was 60 years old.

He said it was to make up for the debt he owed his elders for many years abroad, but people probably knew that he was for the empress dowager.

On the day Princess Shu arrived in Beijing, she brought her two sons into the palace to visit the Empress Dowager. Mei Xue was accompanying the Empress Dowager, and when she saw her, she got up and saluted.

Princess Shu shook Mei Xue's hand, looked her up and down for a while, and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a few years. You have grown taller, but your appearance hasn't changed much."

Li Jinfeng stood behind Princess Shu and laughed, looking back and forth between Li Jinzhi and Mei Xue.

Even if he was far away in Sichuan, he had heard some rumors.

After visiting the Empress Dowager, Li Jinfeng was dragged away by Xiao Yan as soon as he left the palace, and Li Jinzhi accompanied Princess Shu back to the palace.

On the carriage, Li Jinzhi said that he would personally take Mei Xue to Mrs. Xiao's birthday banquet.

Princess Shu just laughed, looked at him lovingly and said:

"Although I just came back, I can roughly guess the current situation. You don't have to worry, I will definitely discuss with the prince about the matter between you and Miss Mei. If he refuses, I will ask your imperial grandmother and grandmother to come forward and decide Will not disappoint you."

Li Jinzhi thanked Princess Shu with a smile, and then said:
"Mother, what I want is not only to give Miss Mei the right to be his wife, I also want her to feel at ease from now on, and not to suffer the slightest grievance over this matter.

Therefore, for some people, it is better to put out those thoughts that they shouldn't have early, so as not to be difficult to meet again after losing their dignity. "

Princess Shu nodded, patted Li Jinzhi's hand and said:

"I see what you mean, don't worry, I know what to do.

It's just that in front of your father, you have to speak well and don't make him unhappy. "

The plum garden had already been tidied up. As soon as Concubine Shu took her seat, Concubine Lin brought her granddaughter, Sister Han, to pay her respects.

Princess Shu sneered, and said to Li Jinzhi:

"Take the child to hang around in front of the prince every day, thinking I don't know what she's thinking?
Not greedy enough, with the eldest granddaughter, but also longing to be the grandmother of the eldest grandson.It's a pity that even God refuses to help her. "

When she was in Hankou, Concubine Lin secretly asked a famous doctor to check the pulse of the second wife Huang Qingya several times, hoping that she was pregnant with a boy.

After being disappointed, she directly left Huang Qingya in Hankou, nominally to let Huang Qingya recuperate and wait for delivery, but anyone could see her annoyance.

Judging from Li Jinhuan's current physical condition, Concubine Lin is absolutely hopeless.

It's just that she still doesn't want to give up.

Li Jinzhi smiled and said nothing, and when Concubine Lin came in and greeted him, he said goodbye and left.

Concubine Lin saluted Princess Shu, poured tea and served it herself, and after talking nonsense for a while, she said cautiously:
"Sister, with my status, I don't deserve to enter the palace to see the Empress Dowager without a decree. My sister has just been there, I wonder if she is in good health?"

Concubine Shu had seen through Concubine Lin's thoughts long ago, so she said with a smile:
"The lord and the children are filial, and Miss Mei stays by her side every day for diagnosis and treatment. Will the queen mother's health be safe?"

Finally, when Concubine Shu mentioned Mei Xue, Concubine Lin's eyes were red and she wanted to cry:
"Our eldest son, the queen mother, the eldest princess and the princess can all be treated by Miss Mei, but Jinhuan is not so lucky.

It's all my fault, I had a misunderstanding with Miss Mei at the beginning, but now it's very difficult to look forward to seeing her. "

At the beginning, Li Jinhuan disobeyed the King of Shu and obeyed Li Jinyu's words. He even refused to report the fact that Li Jinyu sent assassins to Chengdu.

Moreover, his illness was unseemly, which completely made the king of Shu feel cold about his son.

If it wasn't for his only granddaughter, and Lin Concubine had been serving her carelessly, the King of Shu would not have agreed to let her bring Li Jinhuan back to the capital.

Seeing Concubine Lin's crying appearance, Princess Shu sneered in her heart, but said with sympathy on her face:
"Jin Huan is also called my mother, how can I not feel sorry for him?
However, when I was in Chengdu, I heard from the prince that when Jin Huan first fell ill, Miss Mei came to the house for treatment many times, but there was really no good way.

Moreover, since you came to Beijing so many days in advance, you must have invited the imperial physician and other famous doctors in the capital, so why force Miss Mei?
Her medical skills are good, but she is not a fairy! "

Concubine Lin and Concubine Shu have been fighting for most of their lives, and they have already become sworn enemies. She was expected to be shunned like this.

The reason why she had the audacity to beg to come to her door was that there was really no other way. She asked people to bring gifts to invite Mei Xue over and over again, but she never even saw her face to face.

In front of the King of Shu, she didn't dare to say a word, and even frequently sought famous doctors, she did it secretly.

Concubine Lin was furious when she returned to the West Courtyard, she smashed half of the room and scolded:
"It wasn't their conspiracy, how could my son end up in this situation? Sooner or later, I will pay for it with their lives."

Sister Han's mother, Aunt Chen, was so scared that she didn't dare to hide. She could only lower her head as much as possible, but she still couldn't escape the bad luck. Concubine Lin raised her hand and threw a cup of hot tea on her, yelling at her. road:
"They are all useless things. One or two are raised in rich clothes and fine food, but they can only bear daughters. It is better to die!"

Aunt Chen's skirt was wet a lot, and her knee was in pain from being hit, but she didn't even dare to cry.

Mrs. Xiao's birthday banquet was attended by all the family members of Jingzhong Xungui and important ministers.

Princess Shu sat with the old lady, accepted the congratulations from everyone, and praised the children they brought along.

She had already received news from Xiao Yan, and knew which families were interested in vying for the position of Crown Princess, so when looking at the girls of those families, she couldn't help but compare them with Mei Xue.

When he finally had time to change clothes, Xiao Yan came up to her again, and looked at her eagerly.

Princess Shu couldn't laugh or cry, she poked his finger and said:

"I promised you and Jinzhi that I will do well. Don't pretend to be pitiful for me."

Xiao Yan smiled openly, snorted and said:

"Auntie, look, I'm right? They're all vulgar fans, how can they compare with Miss Mei? But because of their good family background, they think they're amazing."

Princess Shu also sighed, patted Xiao Yan and said:

"Miss Mei doesn't have her natal family to help, and she doesn't like clothes and jewelry. I heard that even eating is very simple. After all these years of hard work, isn't it all for your cousin?

I can see this, how could the prince not know?It's just because of the eyes of the world. "

She was born as a concubine, but now she is about to ascend to the position of queen, and she can best understand the warmth and coldness of this.

Few of the noble daughters and wives who came to Xiao's mansion today did not come for Li Jinzhi.

Even if there is no suitable daughter in the family, or they cannot compete for the position of crown princess, they are still looking forward to meeting the future prince.

Therefore, as soon as the servants reported that Li Jinzhi had arrived, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone turned their eyes to the door.

The warm curtain is rolled up, and a warm sedan chair is slowly lowered on the stone road against the backdrop of white snow and red plum blossoms.

Li Jinzhi, who was wearing a snow-white cloak, was walking beside the warm sedan chair. He was smiling and bent down to pick up the sedan chair curtain himself.

The girl in green clothes and green shoes only wore two plain jewelry, and even the cloak was made of cotton.

But just because of the light makeup, people who have seen her, such as Princess Shu and Xiao Yan, are even more amazed.

Li Jinzhi put down his sleeves and stretched out his arms. Mei Xue looked up at him, then reached out to support his wrists and got off the sedan chair.

Many people in the hall immediately changed their faces. Although there was an excuse for the slippery road in the snow, the cobblestone roads of the Xiao Mansion were wiped cleaner than their faces by the servants. Does the prince really need to be so careful?
Xiao Yan almost laughed out loud, cousin is really too, how could he go so far?Anyway, he is also the future prince.

However, he, Xiao Yan, really likes such cousin Jin.

Li Jinzhi arranged for Mei Xue to sit beside Princess Shu, and then said with a smile:

"Grandmother, mother, I went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to pick up Miss Mei, but I was late because I had to serve the imperial grandmother to drink medicine."

Mrs. Xiao happily took Mei Xue's hand and asked questions. Seeing that Li Jinzhi still looked at Mei Xue, Princess Shu smiled and said:
"Your uncle and cousins ​​are waiting for you in the outer courtyard, hurry up and go there with Saburo!
Don't stare at Miss Mei anymore, don't worry, I will take good care of her. "

Some wives didn't have any thoughts, and when they heard what Princess Shu said, they all laughed jokingly.

Li Jinzhi responded and walked out together with Xiao Yan, but looked back at Mei Xue with a smile and said:
"I'll pick you up later and have dinner with the kids."

They are like ordinary couples.

Those girls with lofty aspirations all turned pale at this time.

They are not stupid, how can they fail to see Li Jinzhi's purpose.

But what was even more irritating was still behind, when Li Jinzhi and Xiao Yan came out of the hall, Princess Shu smiled and looked around at the crowd and said:

"When children grow up, they will always have their own ideas.

Earlier, Jinzhi said that he only wanted to be a couple for the rest of his life, and he would never take concubines. Although the prince was unhappy, he agreed by default.

You all know that raising this son of mine is not easy, and the prince and I are not willing to wrong him. "

This is going too far, it's like telling some people: You should calm down, don't talk about the princess, even concubines, it's not your turn.

Princess Shu still said it with a smile, and after she finished speaking, she patted Mei Xue's hair affectionately.

As for Mrs. Xiao, she let Princess Shu do whatever she wanted, and only held Mei Xue's hand and talked to her.

Naturally, the King of Shu knew about the birthday banquet soon, and when Li Jinzhi went to greet him the next day, he laughed and scolded:
"You and your mother, like children now, have learned how to sing an opera, and even tired your grandmother.

Saburo can rest in the future, and no longer have to stare at others like a thief. "

Li Jinzhi pursed his lips and smiled, instead of answering the King of Shu's words, he said instead:
"Father is magnanimous, but Li Shangshu is still too much. The old man who has read a lot of poetry and books is now being praised too much."

The king of Shu put away the smile on his face and said:

"I already knew what he did. After the new year, let him return to his hometown to be honored and raised!

As for you and Meixue, just do what you want.

You are my eldest son, and you have suffered for so many years. Like your mother, I am not willing to let you be wronged again. "

Li Jinzhi's eyes were red, he thanked the Queen of Shu and couldn't wait to leave.

Looking at his son running in the snow through the window, the King of Shu couldn't help laughing, and said to Song Zhijie who walked in through the curtain:

"Look, they are all in their 20s, and they are still so disrespectful."

Song Zhijie saluted the King of Shu and said with a smile:
"The son must be in a hurry to go to Lilac to announce the good news to Miss Mei!"

King Shu nodded with a smile, and asked Song Zhijie to accompany him to the Plum Garden.

The day after tomorrow, after the enthronement ceremony, he would rarely come back again. He wanted to visit his wife's favorite plum garden again.
