A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 674
Early in the morning, the palace issued a decree to Prince Yin Wu's mansion.

The steward came to inform Meng Yan worriedly, and said: "Princess, there are people from the palace just now, and the Queen Mother wants to see Princess Xuan."

When Yan'er and Chongyi heard this, they couldn't help but raise their hearts.

Chongyi said: "Just say that the princess is not feeling well, so I pushed."

The butler also thought about it, but if he could push it, he wouldn't come to sue Meng Yan.

Meng Yan said: "It's fine if I don't go to the big or small banquets in the palace, but now that the Empress Dowager has issued an order, I must go."

The steward said: "Before the lord left Beijing, the wangfei ordered that the wangfei not go into the palace alone when he was away. The old slave sent someone to report to the emperor. The emperor understands it. As long as you tell the queen mother, it won't be too much for the queen mother." Difficult."

Meng Yan looked at the sky outside, and said: "At this point in time, the emperor should go to court early."

It seems that the Queen Mother has picked the right time.

Meng Yan said again: "Forget it, since the Empress Dowager is in good health and can see guests, I should go to greet her. Yan'er, help me choose the clothes I will wear when I enter the palace."

Yan'er looked at Chongyi and the housekeeper hesitantly.

Meng Yan also turned around to look at them, raised her eyebrows and said, "Do I look so easy to bully? Why are you so sad?"

Chongyi embraced the sword and said: "Yan'er, go choose clothes."

After Meng Yan changed her clothes and made up, when she came out of the backyard, she saw that the Queen Mother's palace servants had indeed been waiting in the front yard.

The eunuch saw Meng Yan, waved his fly whisk, got up to pay respects, and said: "I heard from the housekeeper of the palace that the princess is not feeling well, so I can go to the palace to ask the imperial doctor to take a look. Our family came to pass on the Queen Mother's order. If the princess doesn't obey, It’s hard for us too.”

Meng Yan said: "Eunuch Lao has been waiting for a long time, let's go."

As soon as Meng Yan took Chongyi with him, the steward immediately sent someone to deliver news to the emperor in the palace.

At this time, the emperor was indeed sitting in the court hall.

The court hall is solemn and solemn, and hundreds of officials, civil and military, are gathered to perform the ceremony of prostration.

The little eunuch first sent a message to Eunuch Huang, and Eunuch Huang whispered a few words beside the emperor.

The emperor held the corner of the dragon robe on his lap, and said in a low voice, "It's really a good time for the Queen Mother to choose. Send someone to watch over."

Eunuch Huang responded, walked to the side of the curtain, sent a little eunuch behind the curtain, and said: "Go find out where Princess Yin Wu has gone, and follow her to greet the Queen Mother."

The little eunuch ran away immediately.

On this side, Meng Yan and Chongyi followed the eunuch into the palace, and before they had gone far, they saw the little eunuch running in another direction.

Of course, the Queen Mother's eunuch knew that the young eunuch was Eunuch Huang's apprentice and was serving in front of the imperial court, so he had to give three points no matter what.

The little eunuch laughed along, and said tactfully: "The emperor knows that Princess Yin Wu is entering the palace, and Princess Yin Wu will not enter the palace for a long time. The emperor specially appointed servants to guide the princess and serve her at any time."

When the Queen Mother's eunuch heard this, he didn't dare to stop him, so he had to take the little eunuch with him to the Queen Mother's palace.

The Empress Dowager is sitting in the bedroom, neatly dressed and full of energy.

The ladies of the palace opened the fragrant gauze window sashes one by one to let in the fresh air from outside.It was cooler in the morning, and there was a faint glow in the yard.

Seeing Meng Yan coming, the Empress Dowager's face burst into a kind smile like a spring breeze.

Meng Yan entered the hall to see the ceremony.

The queen mother raised her hand and said: "Princess Yin Wu doesn't need to be polite, let's be flat." She glanced at the little eunuch next to her, twirling a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and said with a smile, "The emperor is afraid that Ai's family will eat it." If Princess Yin Wu fails, she must be watched by someone."

The little eunuch hurriedly said: "The queen mother misunderstood, the emperor is not free in the early court, so he sent a servant to pay the queen mother a visit."

The Queen Mother said "That's all", and then asked the little eunuch to wait outside the door.

The Empress Dowager invited Meng Yan to sit down, looked her over, and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how is Princess Yin Wu?"

Meng Yan replied: "The Empress Dowager Lao is concerned, and everything is fine with my wife. The Empress Dowager looks good, and it should be because she is recovering well."

The queen mother smiled and said: "Aijia looks good now, but the recovery process is also painful. A while ago, Aijia was still lying on the bed, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the imperial doctor came and went. , the feeling of the body being burned, penetrating into the flesh, it is really unforgettable for Aijia."

Meng Yan nodded, and said: "The queen mother should be more careful in the future. There are too many fires, and it is really easy to burn herself."

The queen mother slowly picked up her sleeves, exposing her arms.

There was a large burn mark on it, and although it was healed, it left a very ugly scar that could not be erased.

The queen mother showed the scar to Meng Yan, and said: "Look, this scar can't be removed. But Ai's family still remembers that when the injury just fell, Princess Yin Wu personally came to give medicine to Ai's family, she really cared .”

Meng Yan said: "This is what a junior should do."

The emperor's little eunuch listened carefully at the door and found that the queen mother did not make things difficult for Princess Yin Wu.

It's nothing more than inviting Princess Yin Wu to taste tea, eat snacks, and then chat.

Until later, the sun outside gradually rose, and the morning court at the court hall was almost over, and the queen mother did not have any abnormalities, as if it was just a long time no see, and Meng Yan was invited to catch up on the past.

At this time, a eunuch bowed and held a whisk, walked quickly to the inner courtyard and entered the bedroom.

Seeing that Princess Yin Wu was present, he couldn't tell directly, so the eunuch walked up to the Queen Mother, put his hands around his mouth, whispered a few words to the Queen Mother, then bowed and retreated.

The queen mother looked at Meng Yan, her kind smile remained unchanged, and she said meaningfully: "Princess Yin Wu still has things to deal with, and the Ai family will keep you soon."

Meng Yan stood up and said goodbye.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, Meng Yan took Chongyi and walked quickly.The emperor's little eunuch followed them all the way and sent them to the gate of the palace.

During today's trip, the Empress Dowager did not make any trouble. From entering the palace to leaving the palace, nothing happened.

But Meng Yan kept thinking about what the Queen Mother meant by those words.

Is there anything that needs to be dealt with by her?

Is the Jiao Jiao Zhuang Zhuang at home, or the Xia family?As long as they stay in the palace, nothing should happen.

Or what happened to Yin Heng when he was out?
As soon as Meng Yan and Chongyi left the palace gate, they saw the guards in the palace, who were entrusted by the housekeeper to pick up Meng Yan.

Fu Wei didn't delay, and drove home quickly.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the butler came out to welcome him. Seeing that his expression was not right, Meng Yan asked, "What happened?"

The housekeeper said: "This old slave also just received the news from Mr. Xu this morning, saying that Mr. Xu was arrested by officers and soldiers on the charge of smuggling salt in the middle of last night. There is no news yet."

Meng Yan's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

The housekeeper said again: "It would be fine if he was taken to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion for trial. The old slave can send someone to clear it up, but this time he directly passed Jing Zhaoyin and sent him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Meng Yan pursed her lips, stepped into the house with her feet up, and said in a cold voice: "That's what the Queen Mother said."
