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

Chapter 773 Don't forget the family feud
Ming Yanjun stayed here with Meng Yan until after dinner before returning.

Before leaving, she and Meng Yan hugged the siblings for a while.

It's just that Jiaojiao Zhuangzhuang was too excited to play during the day, and fell asleep early at this moment.

Mr. Mingyan was holding one, and he couldn't wake up no matter how much he played with it.The skin of the children is very tender, and the little hands are also very soft, and it is hard to put it down; they look very good, and they look like clear porcelain dolls when they are asleep.

Later, Ming Yanjun returned the child to Meng Yan, and just said goodbye to her and left.

When her maid and Yan'er parted, they were still reluctant to part.

The carriage drove all the way in the direction of the Prince's Mansion, the servant girl sat in the car with Ming Yanjun, she looked at the smile on the corner of Ming Yanjun's mouth for a long time, as if the loving expression was still on her face when she looked at the delicate and strong. superior.

The maid said: "Actually, Miss likes children."

Ming Yanjun raised his eyes to look at the servant girl, but didn't answer.

After the excitement of the day was over, Xia asked Meng Yan to come to her courtyard.

She handed the small bracelet and Ruyi lock to Meng Yan.

Meng Yan said: "This little silver bracelet is so unique."

Xia said: "It was sent by your uncle."

Meng Yan was not surprised either, and said, "No wonder the pattern on this bracelet is the same as Mother's hairpin."

Although she has never met her uncle, she can feel his affection even thousands of miles away.

"And this wishful lock." Xia Shi paused, and then said, "It was sent by the Marquis of Shang. Look, do you want to wear it for the child?"

This small silver bracelet is suitable for children of two or three years old. Wearing the Ruyi lock is afraid of strangling the neck, so Meng Yan simply took the Ruyi lock off the rope and put it on together with the exquisite pendant that Xu Shenfang gave today. The objects are matched together, they are white and green, and they are very beautiful.

Meng Yan tied the lock pendants to the delicate and sturdy little clothes, and with every movement of the two, the lock pendants dangled with each other, really cute.

Meng Yan said: "Put the bracelet away first, and wear it when they are older."

Then the housekeeper sent the gift list received today to Xia Shi, and Xia Shi had to enter it later.

***
Meng Yunxiao's official career plummeted.

He heard that Meng Yan's child turned one year old today, although the court officials didn't go to have a drink, many of them prepared congratulatory gifts for them.

Meng Yunxiao didn't prepare a congratulatory gift, because it was useless.

When Tang entered the study, seeing him depressed in the study, he couldn't help mocking, "Why, do you feel sour?"

Meng Yunxiao looked bored.

Now Tang's natal family is not very powerful, and he is so unsuccessful in the officialdom, a large part of the reason is thanks to Tang's gift.

What Meng Yunxiao regretted the most was that he had separated from Meng Yan and the Xia family early on.The mother and daughter are now in charge of the palace, but he wants to be so unknown.

If I had known earlier, I should have treated them better back then, maybe the situation would be very different today.

Meng Yunxiao was impatient with Tang, the two quarreled in the study, Tang threw his glass and left.

***
In the blink of an eye, Xie Chuying had been with the Queen Mother for two or three months.

She served the Empress Dowager wholeheartedly, and the Empress Dowager did not treat her as well as before, and she knew it herself, so she restrained herself everywhere, and let go of her former sense of superiority in front of the palace people.

As a result, the palace people in the Empress Dowager's Palace felt that her situation was pitiful, and usually took extra care of her.

When the Empress Dowager went to bed, Xie Chuying helped her remove her bun, and took a comb to gently comb her hair.

The Empress Dowager's hair was mixed with gray, and Xie Chuying's technique made her feel very comfortable.

The queen mother closed her eyes and said: "Your life-long affairs should be discussed with a good family, but now something happened in your family, and you are the daughter of a criminal minister. It is not easy for the Ai family to protect you, so what is the right family. "

Xie Chuying said: "Chuying knows that Chuying doesn't want to marry a good family, but just wants to be with the queen mother and serve her all the time."

The Empress Dowager said: "What stupid things are you talking about? You should get married when you are a college girl. How can mourning your family delay you." She sighed and said, "Just you need to remember, who is the person who caused you to be so unfortunate today."

Xie Chuying paused indistinctly, the comb continued to comb the Queen Mother's hair down, and replied, "Chuying knows."

"King Yin Wu tortured and killed your elder brother, and Princess Yin Wu escaped the crime, but your family was destroyed. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't be homeless, and you were almost sent to the teaching workshop."

The queen mother opened her eyes, looked at Xie Chuying's docile appearance, and said: "Now that you are in such a situation, the Ai family will choose a marriage to marry you off, and I am afraid that the husband's family will look down on you and despise you everywhere." .”

Xie Chuying said: "The Queen Mother is the one to decide everything."

Now that the queen mother has said this to her, she has plans for the next step.

After a while, the Empress Dowager said again: "You and the empress are sisters from the Xie family. From tomorrow onwards, you will go to the central palace more often to get acquainted with the empress."

Xie Chuying replied, "Yes."

On the second day, Xie Chuying brought snacks to the Queen's Palace. At that time, the Queen was discussing with Concubine Xu about choosing a side concubine for the Seventh Prince.

At the moment, several ladies have been booked, but the marriage is still to be bestowed by the Queen's order.

The queen was a little surprised by Xie Chuying's arrival, and immediately beckoned her into the bedroom.

Seeing this, Concubine Xu didn't want to disturb her, so she left after finalizing the matter.

The queen asked, "Chu Ying, why are you here?"

Xie Chuying said: "I tried some dim sum today, and I felt that the taste was not bad, so I sent some to my mother."

How could the queen not know that Xie Chuying's appearance here must have been ordered by the queen mother.

Xie Chuying is the daughter of a guilty minister, but after all, she is the empress dowager's own niece. The empress dowager raised her in the palace, and the emperor was tolerant and didn't say anything.

Now that the Empress Dowager sent Xie Chuying over, the Empress thought that the Empress Dowager planned to let her coat her with gold?

As long as Xie Chuying gets close to the empress, even if her status is not as good as before, those noble ladies dare not despise her too much.

Naturally, the empress would not show any of these thoughts, she just invited her to come and sit by her side as if she was meeting a concubine in the harem.

The queen tasted the snacks brought by Xie Chuying, and praised with a smile: "No wonder you have always been liked by the queen mother. You are not only understanding, but also ingenious."

Xie Chuying's words and deeds are in line with everyone's upbringing, even if the queen is her family's elder sister, she has never been rude.

The queen is nine years older than her. When the queen got married, she was still a little girl.

The queen is the first wife's daughter, and Xie Chuying is the second wife's daughter. Although they are not biological sisters, they have a good or bad relationship in the same family.

Xie Chuying chatted with the queen a lot that day.

From the interesting things at home before, to the things in the empress dowager's palace, the relationship between the two became close all of a sudden.

Xie Chuying stayed here for an hour or two before getting up to leave.

Before leaving, the queen said to her: "You and I are sisters in the same family. From now on, you don't have to be cautious in front of this palace. If you are bored in the Empress Dowager's palace, you can come to this palace more often."
