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

Chapter 981 is a good time

But Meng Yan thought about it, but couldn't think of the key point.

Even if the King of Shou wanted to be the emperor himself, at his age, how many years would he have left to do?

If one were to choose a rebellious prince among the princes in the court, the least likely person would be King Shou.

***
At this time, King Shou was also sitting in the study, calm and controlled the overall situation in Beijing.

Soon, he had spent so many years preparing it, and it was almost done.

The confidant came in, and Yue Mo came back in a hurry, panting and said: "As expected, the emperor sent the imperial guards to monitor the palace, and now every move of the Yinwu Palace is under our control. At the same time The emperor also sent someone to the frontier pass to deliver an order to call Yin Wu Wang back to Beijing immediately."

King Shou looked up at his confidant, and saw his confidant took out the imperial decree from his sleeve, and presented it: "This is the imperial decree just intercepted."

King Shou took it, unfolded it and looked at it for a while, then moved to the top of the lamp.

The bright yellow scroll was quickly ignited, and the tongue of flame licked the writing on it, before turning to ashes in a short time.

This decree cannot be spread to the border, no matter what the current situation of King Yin Wu is, he will naturally not know what happened in Beijing.

King Shou said: "In a few days, let's pass the remaining two battle reports to Beijing."

The confidant said: "Yes."

They have completely controlled the channel of border news, and the battle report on the emperor's table is what King Shou wants him to see.

After his confidant retreated, King Shou opened the hidden drawer of his desk, and there was a long and narrow box inside.

He reached out and took it out, and slowly opened it, only to see that there was also a bright yellow scroll lying in the long and narrow box.

Judging from the appearance, it is clearly an imperial decree.

It's just that the gloss and color are lacking. The Mingli he burned just now, obviously it has been stored for some years.

He unfolded the scroll, and there was a black letter on a white background inside. Even after a long time, the ink was still clear.

His old fingers brushed over the ink blot, leaving little or no trace.

Meng Yan waited until midnight when Chongyi came back in night dew all over her body.

Meng Yan asked her, "How is it?"

Chongyi said: "The matter has been settled. However, the Shouwang Mansion is preparing for a hundred-day banquet. It is estimated that it will be a bit lively these few days."

"Hundred-day banquet?" Meng Yan quickly thought about it, "But the son born to Princess Yuhua and the champion of the previous imperial examination has been born for a hundred days?"

Chongyi said: "Exactly."

The number one scholar who was married to Princess Yuhua at the beginning was married to Shouwang's mansion, so the hundred-day banquet should be held in Shouwang's mansion.

Meng Yan smiled and said: "It's really good enough. At this time, Shou Wang is still in the mood to hold a hundred-day banquet. I have to say, this is also a good time."

It's just that even if King Shou is not in the mood to do it, Princess Shou and Princess Yuhua are very interested. If King Shou doesn't allow them to do it, it will be more suspicious.

At present, the war in the north is continuing, and the Shou Palace is not easy to make a big deal of it, so only a small banquet was held.

On the day of the [-]-day banquet, Meng Yan wore a gorgeous dress and solemn makeup. She walked to the front yard and asked the housekeeper, "Have the invitations from the Shou Palace come?"

The butler shook his head.

Meng Yan said again: "The congratulatory gift is ready?"

The housekeeper said: "The old slave is ready."

Meng Yan nodded and said, "Go and prepare the carriage."

As soon as the gate of the palace was opened, there was no doubt that Meng Yan and Chongyi were stopped by the imperial guards.

The imperial guard said: "The princess cannot go out, please forgive me."

Meng Yan said: "The emperor ordered you to stay in the palace, but there is an order to imprison this princess and not to step out of the gate of the palace?"

The Imperial Guard paused for a moment, and said: "The emperor ordered me to be stationed, and he wanted me to protect the concubine every step of the way, and there must be no mistakes."

Meng Yan said: "Okay, I'm going to the Shouwang Mansion to congratulate me now, so you can follow and protect me."

As she spoke, she walked straight forward.

The emperor sent troops to garrison the palace for the purpose of monitoring, and it was stationed in the name of protection, and he did not convict anyone in the palace.The Praetorian Guards couldn't draw their swords at her either.

Now her reason for leaving the mansion is very righteous, and it's not that she won't let the imperial guards follow, so the imperial guards can't find a reason to stop her for a while.

In the end, the housekeeper pulled the carriage over, Meng Yan got into the carriage, took a nun with her, and Chongyi drove the carriage.A team of imperial guards had no choice but to go to Shouwang's mansion together.

Otherwise, how could Meng Yan say that the timing is good? If it was later, she might not even be able to leave the gate of the palace, let alone go to the palace of Shouwang to congratulate her in person.

This time, I can give her a chance to have a look.

It is no secret that the imperial guards are guarding the Palace of Yin Wu. Not to mention Princess Shou and Princess Yuhua, who are entertaining guests at the Palace of Shou, even the officials and women who came to the Hundred Days Banquet were also surprised by Meng Yan's appearance.

Princess Shou and Princess Yuhua looked at each other.

After getting out of the carriage, Meng Yan walked in the door as if no one else was there.The nuns around brought the gifts.

Concubine Shou was a little embarrassed, and asked the housekeeper to accept the gift, and said a few words of greeting on her face.

Princess Yuhua was not so tactful, and said: "It seems that we didn't send invitations to Prince Yinwu's mansion. The princess came here uninvited, and she took herself too seriously."

Princess Shou lightly reprimanded Princess Yuhua, saying: "Embroidery, don't be rude." Then she smiled and invited Meng Yan to enter, "Everyone who comes is a guest, please come inside Princess Yin Wu."

Princess Yuhua was dissatisfied and said, "Mother, aren't you afraid of her for a while..."

Seeing Meng Yan looking back at her, she couldn't say anything else.

Meng Yan didn't care about it, and stepped straight into the gate of Shou Wang's mansion.

As soon as she entered, she attracted the attention of many female relatives.After all, because of her previous deeds, no one dared to approach her to strike up a conversation.What if the wrong sentence stimulated her and made her go crazy on the spot?
Only Mrs. Ming was willing to go forward and exchange pleasantries with her.

Mrs. Ming took her hand and asked with loving eyes, "Is your mother okay? It seems like it's been a long time since I saw her."

Meng Yan nodded and said, "She is fine."

Mrs. Ming took her to the garden of Prince Shou's Mansion, and said sadly: "You and my Yanjun are like each other, but they are both poor children."

Meng Yan asked, "How is she now?"

Mrs. Ming sighed, and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do. I've been in the East Palace all day, and I feel like I've lost my soul."

Mrs. Ming never mentioned these things to others, so she only talked to Meng Yan in private.

In the past, when Ming Yanjun lived in the Prince's Mansion, Meng Yan still saw her often.Now that she was in the East Palace, she closed herself up again, and the two of them didn't see each other a few times.

Later, Meng Yan no longer had the heart to talk to Mrs. Ming.Mrs. Ming also went elsewhere to greet other wives.

As he wandered around the garden, Meng Yan noticed the layout of the gardens and pavilions in the Shouwang Mansion, and gradually the expression on his face changed.
