Chapter 073: Finale (Medium)
Lin Qu'er opened the box and took out a step shaker from it, but after thinking about it carefully, he still put it back.
Forget it, there is no need to add more jewelry, more will be counterproductive.
It's so refreshing and refreshing, and it's very good, it's both beautiful and fresh.
"These are all given to the girl by the princess, but I think the girl is very good in this way, and there is no need to add jewelry. The girl and the lady talked, and I went back to the princess. β
"Please thank the princess on our behalf."
"Okay." Lin Qu'er nodded at them and turned to leave.
Gu put the things sent by Lin Qu'er properly, and seeing that it was still early, he pulled An Ning to sit down, "An Ning, tell your mother, what did Meng Gongzi tell you yesterday?" β
"Mother." An Ning's face turned crimson.
Gu Shi already understood.
"An Ning, I see that the prince and the princess also like you very much, and I also see what Meng Gongzi treats you. It's just that the difference in status between you and him is too big, and I'm worried about the emperor's side. β
Meng Chenxi is a child of the royal family, and most of the major marriage events must be combined with the interests of the court.
Gu was worried that even if the emperor nodded, he would not give An Ning the position of his wife. If there are three wives and four concubines in the future, according to the peaceful temperament, they will definitely not be able to accept it.
Her own daughter, she still knows quite well.
"Worried that he will inevitably have three wives and four concubines in the future?" An Ning clenched Gu's hand and said, "Mother, why are you worried? You don't have enough confidence in your daughter, you look at the prince, then look at Prime Minister Mu, and General Meng, which of them is not a high authority, but which one of them has three wives and four concubines? I believe in him! β
"That's right! You should trust me. Outside the door, Meng Chenxi stood there at some point and looked at An Ning with a smile, "You are finally smart, and it is in vain that I teach you by word and deed." β
Practice what you preach?
An Ning looked at him, only to see that his dark eyes suddenly lit up, like crystals. Somehow, An Ning suddenly remembered that long sweet kiss, and his face burned with the fire.
Meng Chenxi walked in, looking at her delicate appearance, she couldn't take her eyes off at all.
The air around them also became sweeter.
Meng Chenxi regretted a little, if he had confessed his heart to her earlier, he would have enjoyed this beautiful feeling.
"Young Master Meng, please take a seat." Gu Shi made a gesture.
"Auntie, don't call me Meng Gongzi anymore, you can call me Chenxi in the future."
Gu Shi was flattered and said, "How can this be?" β
"Why not?" Meng Chenxi put down his robe and sat down, "Auntie, you sit too." You are an elder, there is nothing wrong with calling me Dawn. β
Gu Shi looked at An Ning.
An Ning bowed her head gently, "Mother, listen to him." β
Meng Chenxi smiled.
Gu nodded and looked at Meng Chenxi, "That's good, listen to Meng Gong ...... every qiΔ" Meng Chenxi looked at her, and Gu immediately changed his words, "Listen to Chenxi every qiΔ." β
Meng Chenxi smiled, "Auntie, you're right." β
An Ning grimaced at him.
Meng Chenxi was in a good mood, and her face was always full of smiles, "Auntie, wait for An Ning, you will enter the palace with me." You take a little more rest at home and don't have to worry about things in the palace. With us by Anning's side, nothing will happen. This time, my imperial brother let An Ning enter the palace to face the saint, just to crown her as an imperial businessman. β
By the way, stimulate the people of the Marquis of An's Mansion.
Of course, Meng Chenxi didn't say this.
Gu Shi nodded, "With you here, I don't worry." β
Meng Chenxi and Gu Shi chatted back and forth, An Ning sat on the side, looked at them, listened to them chat, and seemed to be very satisfied. After a while, the White Tiger came and asked them to go.
An Ning and Mengxia a carriage.
Meng Chenxi and Shen Wang took a carriage, and the two carriages parted ways when they entered the palace gate, the male went to the early dynasty, and An Ning and Meng Xia went directly to the Changqiu Palace to wait for the Hou to be summoned.
"Anning, sit down." Meng Xia entered the main hall and beckoned An Ning to sit down.
The palace maids made tea and sent it in, and quietly went out to wait.
An Ning looked at the palace curiously, feeling that it was not quite the same as what she saw on TV, and it was also different from the feeling she felt when she stood in the Forbidden City. This place, more solemn, has a strong air flow invisibly.
"I was also curious, but now I don't feel it." Meng Xia said on the side.
An Ning withdrew her gaze and looked up.
Meng Xia said: "No matter what, it is the fate between you and me. When Dawn talked about you, I guessed where you came from, especially the medicinal wine you brewed. β
"Want to know what happened there?" An Ning asked.
Meng Xia shook his head, "I don't want to!" The people who love me and the people I love, and my happiness, are all here, so why should I think about that place that is a thing of the past? β
An Ning was stunned, she didn't expect Meng Xia to be so straightforward.
"Aunt Huang, you are here, why didn't you let the palace maids sue me?" The queen walked in with peace of mind and instructed the palace maid behind her, "You are all waiting outside, I want to talk to the imperial aunt about myself." β
"Yes, Queen."
A palace maid brought tea in, and hurriedly went out again.
"Aunt Huang, why did you enter the ...... so early" When Anxin saw An Ning, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked with a smile: "Aunt Huang, who is this girl?" β
"Her name is Anning." Meng Xia introduced to them, "An Ning, hurry up and salute the queen." β
"The people's daughter is peaceful, meet the queen, the queen is a thousand years old." An Ning followed what the Gu family taught her, and saluted the queen exactly as she could.
An An heard her call An Ning, and his eyes flickered.
Meng Xia saw it, but pretended not to notice these details.
"Quick, quick." An Xin personally stepped forward to help An Ning up, and looked at her quickly. It turned out that she was An Ning, and today she finally saw a real person.
"Anning, you
"An Ning, don't be stunned, help the queen sit down." Meng Xia spoke out at the right time, and immediately came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Aunt Huang, I don't need someone to help me, you are laughing at me." β
"The imperial aunt loves you the most, how can she laugh at you?" Meng Xia smiled.
An Xin stepped forward and sat down next to Meng Xia, and on the side, An Ning stood a little restrained.
Meng Xia saw it and didn't say anything.
Anxin also saw it, and she pretended not to see it.
An Ning was a little embarrassed, but thinking about it, the two in front of her, one is the princess regent, the other is the queen of the mother of a country, how can she be on an equal footing with them?
Thinking about it this way, she is not embarrassed.
The corner of Meng Xia's eyes swept away, and he was very satisfied.
An Ning is worthy of being the person that Dawn fancy.
Very good!
"Queen, how did you know I was coming?"
An An smile said: "Aunt Huang, I just came to deliver stew to the emperor, and now I send it over to warm it, and the emperor will be in the morning later, so you can drink it." I also came, and the palace maids said that the imperial aunt had entered the palace. β
Meng Xia looked relieved, "With you taking care of you so carefully, Uncle Huang and I will be relieved." β
"It's a matter of peace of mind." In front of Meng Xia and Shen Wang, Anxin did not dare to commensurate himself with the mourning family, nor did he dare to stand up. After all, even Emperor Shen Shouye was like a junior in front of their husband and wife, how could she have that guts.
The importance of Shen Wang and his wife to Shen Shouye is unmatched in this world.
If Shen Wang, or Meng Xia, asked Shen Shouye not to be the emperor, Shen Shouye would definitely obey his words. Over the years, although Anxin was a little unwilling in his heart, he didn't dare to show it.
The people that the emperor respects, she also has to flatter.
"The queen is virtuous, this is the blessing of the emperor and the blessing of the people of the Great Jin Dynasty." Meng Xia's eyes turned slightly, and the words also changed, "It's just that the queen's mother, the great Jin dynasty, is now a peaceful and prosperous era, if the queen can give birth to a prince for the emperor, this is the blessing of the Great Jin Dynasty and the blessing of the people." β
Hearing this, An An frowned, and his chest ached suddenly.
She has been married to Shen Shouye for many years, although she has fought for the back position from the concubine all the way, but her honor and favor continue, but her belly has not moved. This is what the An family is most anxious about, and she is also most worried that other concubines will come with good news.
She secretly clenched her fists, always feeling that Meng Xia had something to say.
Obviously let her give birth to the prince early, but secretly blame her for blocking the birth of other princes.
As a queen, how could she allow other concubines to give birth to a prince before her, even a princess. She will not let people endanger her position and shake the foundation of the Marquis of An's mansion.
Anxin is the granddaughter of Mr. An, who chose a concubine for Shen Shouye back then, and the woman of the right age in the Marquis of An's Mansion only had Anxin, so she was accepted as a concubine. It's just that I didn't expect that a little maid would be able to climb to the back seat.
Most of the women in the harem are to contain the people in the court.
Speaking of which, Anxin is Anning's sister-in-law, and Anxin's father is the concubine of the old marquis.
Meng Xia knew that An Xin must have heard about An Ning a long time ago, so when she introduced An Ning, she would have that expression. Although it was only a flash, Meng Xia still noticed it.
Packing up his inner mood with peace of mind, he smiled and said insincerely, "Aunt Huang, don't worry!" Later, I'll bring the harem concubines to talk and let them all work hard. β
"Queen, your generosity and virtuousness, the emperor has mentioned it in front of me. It's right for the queen to talk to them, and the queen has to work harder, after all, the queen is the prince, isn't it? β
Meng Xia said, his gaze straight into Anxin's eyes.
Sure enough, when Anxin heard this, his eyes lit up, but then there was a faint sadness.
"Did the emperor really say that?" An Anxin face is happy.
Meng Xia glanced at her with disgust, "Does the queen think I'm going to say something panicky?" β
"No, it's not. Aunt Huang, don't get me wrong, I'm just so happy. As if to make her words more convincing, she nodded heavily, "Yes! That's right! I'm just so happy. β
On the side, An Ning frowned.
I always feel that this queen's series of affirmations are just because of lack of confidence. She seems to be trying to convince others, but she is actually trying to convince herself.
"Queen, you are the master of the harem, you have to worry about everything." Meng Xia said bitterly.
An Xin nodded, "Aunt Huang, I know." β
"Well, then your uncle and I will be relieved."
"Aunt Huang, are you and Uncle Huang going out to enjoy the mountains and rivers again?" Hearing this, Anxin couldn't help but feel excited in his heart. Okay, she doesn't have to take every step of the way, and she doesn't have to worry about the regent getting in the way.
Meng Xia smiled and looked up at An Ning, "After Chenxi got married, I planned to move in with An Ning, I always thought that your imperial uncle and I both wanted to live an idyllic life when we were old. β
Marriage, tranquility?
An Xin looked at An Ning in surprise, "Aunt Huang, do you mean Dawn and Miss An Ning?" β
Meng Xia smiled and nodded, "Yes, these two children are in love with each other, and the emperor will issue a decree to marry later." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and took An Ning, "An Ning is a good girl, and she has great skills, she is a leader inside and out, and your uncle and I agree." β
An Ning couldn't hear what Meng Xia was saying clearly, her head had been blown up by the news of the marriage.
"Miss An Ning is indeed a good girl." An An raised his eyes and looked at An Ning, "Miss An Ning, sit down, we will be a family soon, don't stand all the time." β
An Ning came back to her senses and saluted her respectfully, "Thank you Queen Mother, it's good for the folk girl to stand." β
"Aunt Huang, An Ning is really a girl who understands etiquette and general knowledge."
"That's right! Chenxi's vision is excellent, although An Ning's background is not prominent, but she is even better than the noble lady of Wangmen. I don't want to be a noble girl, and I'm generous
is generous and decent on the surface, but secretly does some ruthless things. β
Meng Xia's homely words were like home, and he listened to the drums in his heart.
Did she find something?
"What the imperial aunt said is that Chenxi's vision has always been excellent." Anxin was a little uncertain to deal with it, and when he saw that An Ning was still standing, he pulled her to sit down, "Sister An Ning, it's about to become a family, sit down quickly." β
"Thank you Queen Mother, the folk girl should still stand."
Meng Xia smiled, "An Ning, the queen asked you to sit, and you sat down." β
"Yes, aunt." An Ning responded crisply and sat down next to Meng Xia.
Anxin got up at this time, "Aunt Huang, there is still a while before the next dynasty, I will go and heat the soup first." β
"Good! The queen is really virtuous. β
"Aunt Huang is laughing at me again." An Anjiao sneered, turned around, the smile on his face was gone, his eyes were cold, and his face was cold. She came out of the Changqiu Palace, and when the palace maids saw her like this, they didn't dare to breathe, and saluted with low eyebrows, "Queen Mother." β
Throw your sleeves with peace of mind and leave with a cold face.
The palace maids hurriedly chased after them.
Back at Fengxiang Palace, An Xin immediately called her henchman Qiushui, "Qiushui, you immediately wait for the Marquis at the gate of the Great Palace, and tell him that Meng Chenxi has asked for the holy decree of marriage, and An Ning is about to become the princess of the Regent Palace." Later, I will ask the emperor to hold a flower viewing meeting in the palace tomorrow, you let the Hou Ye prepare, and let the Hou Mansion Lady bring An Yi into the palace together. β
Qiushui arched his hand and said, "Yes, Queen Mother." β
"Mother, drink tea." Chun Fu took the tea and put it down, and saw that Anxin seemed to be very low, so he enlightened, "Niangniang, don't take everything to heart, the doctor said, Niangniang's body has improved greatly, and now the key is to keep your body and mind happy." β
"Pleasant?" An An took a few deep breaths, still unable to suppress the anger burning in his chest, and slapped the table hard, "In this situation, how can this palace be physically and mentally happy?" Didn't you hear it, how did Meng Xia mock this palace openly and secretly? β
An Ning wants to become the princess of the Regent's Palace?
She didn't want peace to be satisfied.
"Calm your anger, don't hurt yourself for unimportant people." Spring breeze persuaded.
An An took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't make trouble now, we can't bear it for so many years, and it's not a moment or a half." You ask someone to go to the main hall and ask, if the emperor goes down to the early court, come and inform me immediately. β
"Yes, sissy."
Chun Fu hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
Anxin rubbed the corners of his forehead, and his head hurt.
The heart is also very hot.
She knew that when Shen Wang and Meng Xia came back, she would not have a good life.
Now, it seems, it was.
Anxin's father was born in the outer room of the old marquis, and he has been living in exile until six years ago, when he brought their family into the Hou Mansion and truly recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors. However, this is not the conscience of the old marquis, but her age is suitable for marriage, and they want her to enter the palace as a concubine and control the power of the harem.
Before entering the palace, she was also an innocent girl, after entering the palace gate, for the benefit of herself and the An family, she became the harem ruler who is different from the outside today.
She never regretted being like this.
An Xin bowed her head and pondered, she was thinking about what to do with Anning?
It didn't take long for Chun Fu to come in in a hurry, "Niangniang, the emperor has come to court early, and sent Gonggong Fu to invite the queen to go to the Changqiu Palace." β
"Let's go." Anxin got up and put his hand on the spring breeze arm.
Chun Fu said worriedly: "Niangniang, I heard that the emperor has made an order, one that Gu Anning is the emperor's businessman, and the second is a decree for marriage, and the emperor also asked Qin Tianjian to choose all the days, and the day of marriage is set on the Mid-Autumn Festival." β
"All the days have been chosen?" Rest assured, with frost on your face.
Chun Fu looked at it, felt that his throat was tight, and he didn't dare to breathe.
An An cursed and strode towards the Changqiu Palace.
Chun Fu glanced at the palace maids, and several people hurriedly followed.
Changqiu Palace.
Shen Shouye asked the chief eunuch to announce the decree, An Ning and Meng Chenxi knelt to receive the decree, and Shen Wang and Meng Xia stood aside. In the Great Jin Dynasty, except for worshipping ancestors, no matter what the circumstances, Shen Wang and Meng Xia did not have to kneel and salute.
Not only them, but also Meng Chenxi and Shen Xingchen, Shen Mengchen as well.
For this special treatment, the ministers of the DPRK and China dare not be angry. I mentioned it a few times at the beginning, but every time I was scolded by Shen Shouye, no one knew that in Shen Shouye's heart, Shen Wang and Meng Xia were not just uncles and aunts, but also fathers and mothers.
This time it was a marriage, and Meng Chenxi was accompanying An Ning to receive the decree.
"Lord Shizi, Miss Anning, please accept the order." After reading the holy decree, Ying Gonggong handed over the bright yellow holy decree with a smile.
An Ning saluted in a daze, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" Long live the emperor, long live, long live! β
"Chenxi, help your future daughter-in-law to get up." Shen Shouye saw Anning's well-behaved salute, and he wanted to laugh a little, so he couldn't help but make fun of Meng Chenxi. It was the first time he had seen Meng Chenxi so nervous about a girl, what imperial businessmen, what marriage, all his requirements.
Meng Chenxi smiled and helped to calm down.
"Get up!"
An Ning nodded, blushing with shame.
Shen Shouye helped Meng Xia to the table and asked with concern, "Aunt Huang, are you feeling better?" The symptoms of chills are all cured, right? This time, you and Uncle Huang went back to Luancheng, you should stay for a long time, right? β
Meng Xia tilted his head to look at him and smiled, "The medicine prepared by Chenxi has a very good effect, not only me, but also Mu Yunmo's chills." I have discussed it with your imperial uncle, and when the marriage of the three brothers and sisters is decided, we will go to Anning. β
After speaking, he turned his head to look at An Ning.
An Ning was stunned, quite surprised.
I thought she was just talking to the queen casually, and she couldn't take it seriously, but now it seems that she really has the intention of supporting the elderly in Niujiao Village.
"Uncle Huang and
"Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang can't stay in Luancheng? After Chenxi gets married, he will also stay in Luancheng. Shen Shouye helped Meng Xia sit down and beckoned everyone to sit down, "Everyone sit down, Father-in-law Ying, let people come in with a cup." β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Meng Chenxi took An Ning and sat down, and several people sat together.
The atmosphere was nice.
"The Queen Mother has arrived." The voice of the eunuch was heard outside the hall.
An Ning wanted to get up and salute, and Shen Shouye said lightly on the side: "Daughter-in-law Chenxi, you sit, in the future, you will be the same as Chenxi, you don't have to kneel." From now on, everyone is a family, and there is no need to be so careful. I grew up with Chenxi as a child, there is no difference between me and him, no matter when and where, he and I are just brothers. β
Hearing this, An Ning looked at Meng Chenxi.
Meng Chenxi said: "You listen to the arrangement of the eldest brother. β
An Ning bowed his head and looked at Shen Shouye, "An Ning Xie Emperor." β
She opened her eyes today, why didn't she think that this gentleman and his ministers would get along like this? Although they are relatives, they were born in the emperor's family, and even brothers are very likely to meet each other, and there are really no ones like them.
Shen Shouye nodded with satisfaction.
Meng Chenxi smiled and said, "Big brother, An Ning is thin-skinned, you should call her An Ning." β
Dawn's daughter-in-law, he likes to listen, but he also has to take care of peace.
When Anxin entered the palace gate, he heard Shen Shouye's words, and saw that they got along in such a harmonious atmosphere, he was angry for a while, and he couldn't vent when he blocked his chest, and the forced smile on his face became stiff.
After taking a few deep breaths, he came in with a smile on his face, "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." β
Shen Shouye smiled and waved his hand, looking in a good mood, took Anxin's hand and asked her to sit beside him, "It's all my own family here, so I don't need to be polite." Come, sit down. β
An Anxin's face was sweet, but he still saluted Shen Wang and Meng Xia, "Uncle Huang, Aunt Huang." β
"Come, sit down." Meng Xia smiled and waved his hand.
Anxin sat down next to Shen Shouye, and looked at Meng Chenxi and An Ning with a smile, "Chenxi, congratulations!" β
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Meng Chenxi thanked him.
"Huh." Shen Shouye suddenly 'huh', his eyes swirled back and forth on Anxin and Anning, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, the queen's name is Anxin, and Chenxi's daughter-in-law is called Anning, your names are very similar, and people who don't know still think you are sisters." β
Heart, pumble.
An Anxin stood up, covered his mouth and smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
An Ning saluted respectfully and responded: "The emperor said that he laughed, the people's daughter's surname is Gu, and she doesn't dare to climb the queen's mother." β
"Chenxi, your daughter-in-law is too strict." Shen Shouye patted Meng Chenxi's shoulder and said with a smile: "I'm just joking, I suddenly feel that she is quite similar to the queen's name." β
Meng Chenxi said with a stern face: "Big brother, An Ning is very serious, I like her the most." β
When everyone heard this, they laughed silently.
An Ning blushed and sat with her head down.
Anxin glanced at her, annoyed.
"Your Majesty, it is the spring season, and the concubines want to summon the officials and daughters of Luancheng in the palace tomorrow to have a lively time, and they just take this opportunity to introduce An Ning to everyone. I don't know what the emperor means? β
Shen Shouye immediately agreed: "The queen's idea is good, and this matter will be handled by you." β
Peace of mind and joy should be.
Meng Chenxi kept smiling, with a smug face.
"Big brother, An Ning and I still have something to do, let's go out of the palace first." He got up and looked at Shen Wang and Meng Xia, "Daddy, will the child send you back to the other courtyard first?" β
"You go and do your business, and your father and I will go back by ourselves." Meng Xia waved his hand.
Shen Shouye also agreed, "Yes, yes, yes!" After you went to do your own thing, I haven't talked to Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang. β
"Then let's leave first."
Get up in peace and salute with good fortune.
Meng Chenxi took her hand, "Let's go." β
"Come early tomorrow." Shen Shouye advised in the back.
Meng Chenxi didn't look back, and waved his hand, "Got it." β
When the two of them left the palace, Bai Hu was already standing by the carriage waiting for them, "Master, Miss Anning." β
Meng Chenxi bowed his head and asked, "Have you prepared all the things I asked me to prepare?" β
"Master, the things are ready, Tyson and Mrs. are waiting outside the city." The white tiger jumped into the carriage after them and drove the carriage out of the city gate himself.
In the carriage, An Ning asked curiously, "Where are we going?" β
"You'll know when you get there." Meng Chenxi looked down at her and couldn't help but sigh, "Why don't you ask something about the queen?" Aren't you curious? β
Hearing this, An Ning's brows suddenly furrowed, and there was a hint of displeasure in his face, "It's none of my business, why should I be curious?" If I'm curious about everything, how can I have so much time? β
"Well, I can't imagine that I'm nosy."
An Ning stared at him and looked at him, feeling a little funny, "I don't ask, aren't you going to say it now?" So why should I do anything more? β
"Alas, I really hate myself." Meng Chenxi cried with a face.
"Poof...... An Ning sneered, "You used to be cold in front of me, but now like this, although it is a little normal, I find myself a little uncomfortable." β
"Duplicity, you obviously prefer me like this." Pulling An Ning into his arms and holding him gently, Meng Chenxi's tone was light, but his eyes were full of tenderness.
"You're too confident."
"They all call me arrogant."
An Ning raised her eyes to look at him, a smile on her lips.
"Ning'er, Anxin is your cousin, she is the granddaughter of the old marquis, when the eldest brother wanted to draft a girl, the old marquis welcomed the family back to the Hou Mansion and sent Anxin into the palace." Turning his face sideways and kissing An Ning's forehead slightly, Meng Chenxi began to narrate.
"Then she must know
She must know where I came from, right? An Ning suddenly looked at Meng Chenxi, "The emperor's words just now were not a joke, but a test of the queen?" β
Seeing An Ning's understanding, Meng Chenxi looked at her and smiled, "You are getting smarter and smarter, is this the legendary Black Who Nears Ink?" β
"Stinky beauty." An Ning gave him a blank look.
"Where does it stink?" Meng Chenxi leaned over, "If you smell it, it's obviously fragrant." β
An Ning was pressed against his chest, feeling his body temperature through his clothes, and the strong heartbeat, pounding...... An Ning's face suddenly rose with a hot breath.
Meng Chenxi curled the corners of her lips with satisfaction, "The Marquis of An's Mansion sent her to the palace, and in just a few years, they helped her rise from a concubine to a queen, and their purpose will not be so simple." If something trivial happens in the palace, they can't escape their eyes, and they have already grasped the changing wind direction in the palace. β
"They don't just want a queen, do they?" An Ning frowned slightly, judging by her snobbery about the Marquis of An's mansion, she took such a lot of effort, I am afraid that the qiΔ in front of her is just an illusion.
"Ning'er, what I said is really not wrong."
"What did you say?"
"You're getting smarter and smarter because you're by my side."
"You're so ashamed." An Ning pushed him and said, "You took a lot of trouble to take me and my mother back to Luancheng, it can't be just to face the saint, right?" β
Meng Chenxi's eyes lit up and her lips hooked, "I'm getting smarter and smarter, but I'm not happy." β
"Because it can't set off your cleverness?"
"Guessed it again." Meng Chenxi deliberately made the atmosphere a little more relaxed, "You guessed right, they don't just want to have a throne. As for letting you go back to Luancheng, it is not just about making you an imperial businessman, the focus is on marriage. β
"It seems that you and the emperor are planning to fight back?" Seeing a dangerous glint in Meng Chenxi's eyes, An Ning knew that this time, whether it was an imperial merchant or a marriage, it would not be as simple as it seemed.
"Of course, giving marriage is the most important thing, but after giving marriage, some people must be reluctant to let you, the eldest daughter who is not only an imperial businessman but also a princess in the future. Advantageous chess pieces are not used, that's not their style. Meng Chenxi hugged An Ning tightly, and a handsome face was instantly buried in An Ning's neck, trying to smell the fresh fragrance on her body.
"Ning'er, please believe me, marriage is definitely the top priority, there is no one."
"Are you going to let me go back to the Marquis of An's Mansion?" An Ning had guessed something.
"In the last year, they have not moved at all, and since the enemy is not moving, we have to let them move. Some things, the sooner they erupt, the less damage they can do. For the sake of the people of Dajin, I believe that you will not refuse, right? β
Meng Chenxi didn't let go of her, and whispered in her ear.
"What's in it for me?" An Ning deliberately teased him.
"No good." Meng Chenxi let go of her, held her shoulders behind her back, and looked at her with affection, "I won't ask you to do this with anything, because in this way, it not only insults you, but also insults my feelings for you." If you don't want to, I won't force it, their wolf ambitions, I can crush them just as much, it's just a matter of time. β
Meng Chenxi's words were arrogant and arrogant, but An Ning only felt his affection.
"No matter who you are? In my heart, you're just at peace. Meng Chenxi seemed to be open, and when she opened the love chatterbox, she was out of control, "Tranquility is a priceless treasure, of course, I want to say a word about the scenery, my mother is very important to me." Don't ask me anything, if you and my mother are in danger at the same time, I'll save the stupid question of who first. β
"Why can't you ask?"
His affection, his honesty, all make An Ning's heart move and indulge.
Meng Chenxi pinched her nose lightly, "Because with me and my father, neither you nor my mother will be in danger." β
"yes." An Ning realized, "Your mother is a happy woman, and your father is really good to her." β
"Nope! You're wrong. β
Meng Chenxi's face was stern.
"Am I wrong?" An Ning wondered.
"You only see my father being kind to my mother, but you don't see what my mother has done to me, and you don't know what they have experienced. Between them, no one is better than the other, because they are each other's favorites. β
Meng Chenxi stretched out her hand to take her into her arms, her chin resting on the top of her head, "In the future, we will be as happy as them." β
Definitely, definitely!
Meng Chenxi affirmed in her heart.
He believed that the appearance of tranquility was not accidental, but must have been a gift from heaven.
"Master, Miss Anning, it's here!" The sound of a white tiger was heard outside the carriage.
Meng Chenxi helped An Ning down, and in the carriage next to him, Gu Shi had already lifted the curtain, "Chenxi, An Ning, you are here." β
"Auntie, I've kept you waiting." Meng Chenxi helped An Ning into Gu's carriage, turned his head and instructed Baihu, "Baihu, you go and assist Uncle Liuguang to find Xingchen and Mengchen, and Tyson will accompany us out of the city." β
"Yes, sir."
The white tiger gave up, jumped into the carriage, and left.
An Ning sat beside Gu and asked, "Mother, where are we going?" β
Gu Shi didn't answer, but looked at Meng Chenxi.
Meng Chenxi said: "I'll accompany you to worship your father, you and your aunt are back, you should go to see your uncle." Tyson has got his stuff ready, let's go now, and get back before dark. β
Hearing this, Gu Shi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes quickly overflowed with tears.
She's always wanted it, wanted it, wanted it......
He carefully arranged it for them.
"Dawn, you... I..."Gu choked up, and quickly turned his head to wipe away his tears.
I was so moved that I couldn't even speak.
Meng Chenxi held An Ning's hand with one hand and Gu's hand with the other, "Auntie, this is what I should do." β
"Well, thank you!"
An Ning looked up at him and said lightly
looked at it and said lightly: "Thank you!" β
"Fool!" Meng Chenxi curled her lips and smiled, looking at her dotingly, "Between you and me, do you still need to say thank you?" β
Hearing this, Gu raised his eyes to look at them.
Meng Chenxi took advantage of the situation to tell the Gu family the news of Emperor Anning as an imperial merchant and ordered them to marry, and after hearing this, Gu Shi burst into tears again, and it took a long time before he could speak, "My Anning has suffered with me for so many years, and finally ushered in a good life." Thank you, Dawn. β
"Nope! Auntie, it should be me who thank you! Meng Chenxi looked down at her seriously, "Because of you, there is peace in this world, thank you!" β
An Ning listened to it from the sidelines, and she was already in tears.
They are too sensational.
In addition, the hillside is planted with cypress trees and various flowers, and in the fragrance of birds and flowers, An Cheng's tomb is quietly located more than ten meters away from the ancestral tomb.
In front of the grave, Meng Chenxi and An Ning picked up the fallen leaves on the grave, lit incense, and the two bowed respectfully and solemnly to offer incense.
"Uncle, I brought An Ning to see you today, and in the future, every year during Qingming, An Ning and I will come to see you together." Meng Chenxi put on the incense, looked at An Ning and Gu with red eyes, and said, "Aunt, An Ning, you talk to your uncle, I'll wait for you over there." β
In the face of his gentleness and thoughtfulness, Gu nodded with satisfaction.
Meng Chenxi's hand fell on An Ning's shoulder, "Ning'er, you accompany your aunt, don't make her too sad." β
"yes, I know."
"Then I'll wait for you over there."
"Okay."
Meng Chenxi walked back to the carriage, and he and Tyson waited quietly for An Ning and Gu.
Gu walked to the tombstone and sat down, lifted the wine jug and poured three glasses of wine, beckoning An Ning to pass, "An Ning, come over for a while, let's drink a few glasses of wine with your father." β
"Okay, mother."
An Ning walked over, next to Gu's, and the mother and daughter sat on the ground. In the spring, the weather is quite cool, and sitting on the marble, the coolness hits up all of a sudden.
An Ning didn't care, and Gu didn't feel it.
She caressed the name on the tombstone with teary eyes, and choked up: "Husband, Zen'er has come to see you with peace." β
"Dad, my daughter has come to see you." An Ning beckoned under Gu's eyes and opened his mouth.
Gu wiped away his tears and raised his wine glass, "Husband, our family is reunited today, An Ning and I will have a glass of wine with you, and you will bless An Ning in heaven." β
"Dad, my daughter respects you."
An Ning raised her glass and took a sip of the wine in the glass.
Gu Shi also dried up, and after putting down the wine glass, he put the glass of wine in front of the monument on the ground.
Quietly accompanied the Gu family, basically the Gu family was confiding in An Cheng.
Until the sun went down, Meng Chenxi glanced at the sunset on the horizon, got out of the carriage and walked over, "Auntie, it's not early, let's go back to the city first." When he is free, I will accompany my aunt again. β
After speaking, he and An Ning helped Gu up alone.
"Good!" Gu's voice was hoarse.
An Ning and Meng Chenxi supported Gu, Gu looked back at the grave step by step, and said in a low voice: "An Ning, your father is buried here in the ancestral tomb, and in the future, after I am a hundred years old, you will bury me on the opposite mountain." That way I can be closer to your father. β
She was expelled from the Marquis An Mansion, and it was impossible for her to be buried next to An Cheng.
An Ning frowned, "Mother, don't say unlucky things, you can live to be a hundred years old, and you have to accompany your daughter for a long, long time." β
"Silly boy, you have to die at the age of a hundred, and people will die eventually, right?" Gu Shi smiled.
An Ning said: "Then wait until my mother is a hundred years old, mother, don't worry!" When that day comes, I won't let you and my dad be separated again, you have to trust me. β
"That's right! Aunt rest assured, there is me. Meng Chenxi also spoke out to reassure.
Gu Shi turned his head to look at An Ning, then at Meng Chenxi, and nodded, "Well, I believe in you." β
β¦β¦
An Gonghou Mansion.
In the hall, the atmosphere was heavy, the old marquis and his wife sat on the main seat, the old marquis raised his eyes and glanced at An Yuan and An Qian in the hall, and said in a bad tone: "This morning, the emperor of the dynasty named her an imperial merchant and gave her a marriage." Do you guys have any ideas? β
"Dad, we can't let her become the princess of the Regent's Mansion." An Yuan said bluntly.
Originally, in this Hou Mansion, An Qian had no place to speak, but now that his daughter is at ease as the queen, his status in this mansion has also changed, and he will be called together to discuss everything.
"An Qian, what do you mean?" The old marquis looked over.
An Qian pondered for a while and said, "Dad, why don't we take her for our own use." After the matter is completed, we will abandon her, so that we will not lose. With the in-laws of the regent and her financial resources, our big things will be easier. β
The old lady of the Hou Mansion snorted coldly and glanced at An Qian contemptuously, "For so many years, she has been outside, and back then, her mother was still thrown out of the Hou Mansion like us." Do you think she's going to cooperate with us? Besides, if she joins forces with the Regent to take revenge on us, won't we lure the wolf into the house? β
"That's right! That's what I mean. β
An Yuan immediately agreed.
Back then, Meng Chenxi caused his wife to be separated, and the Hou Mansion had no face, and now the Hou Mansion of An Gong does not even have a male for grandchildren, this is not only the pain in An Yuan's heart, but also the pain of the old Hou Ye, if they don't get back into this game, they will not give up.
They want to trample the royal family under their feet and humiliate them severely.
to repay the hatred in my heart.
"The emperor's intentions are like this, will he do something to us?" The old lady of the Hou Mansion asked, "Didn't Anxin bring out some useful news?" β
The old lady of the Hou Mansion looked at An Qian's eyes looking loving and caring, but there was a deep coldness hidden in her eyes, if she said that after An Angui became a country, she would only spread some useless news, which was something that no one would believe.
An emperor and queen, if only
The emperor, if it was only at this level, I was afraid that she would have been bitten to death by those wild wolves in the palace. It's just that today she only let people send such a message, and asked them to enter the palace tomorrow with An Yisheng's makeup, I'm afraid there is another purpose.
Listening to the old lady's words, the old marquis and An Yuan immediately looked at An Qian, and their sharp eyes seemed to want to see him through.
An Qian didn't seem to notice the sudden change in the atmosphere in the hall, and his attention was only on his sleeves, only to see him tidying up the sleeves that were slightly pressed out of the folds, so he asked softly: "Mother, this news won't be useless, isn't it a hint to let my mother enter the palace with An Yi tomorrow?" β
Seeing An Qian's cold reaction, the old lady asked unhappily, "What hints can she have?" Are you father and daughter going on some kind of idea behind your back? Is Anxin unwilling to give up this position? β
An Yuan picked up the tea with an indifferent expression and took a sip, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
He hated An Qian's lowly outer room, and he looked high and superior because of his peace of mind.
What's the big deal, it's just a chess game in their hands, and he really thinks that his father and daughter are expensive?
Overestimate one's strength or oneself.
An Qian sighed lightly, "Mother, our father and daughter are dedicated to the future of the Hou Mansion, and they don't have any crooked thoughts. Anxin knew that Anyi had always liked Meng Chenxi, but he was just giving Anyi a chance. β
"Then how can Meng Chenxi be so easily swayed?" The old lady snorted coldly.
"Mother, now is not a good time to do it, our human and financial resources are not enough, if we do it at this time, it will undoubtedly be an egg hitting a stone, and we will not be able to get any benefits."
"You son of a, are you cursing an family?"
"Mother, I didn't mean that, after all, I am also a member of the An family."
"You?" The old lady looked contemptuous, "You are just ......"
"That's enough." The old marquis's white sword eyebrows furrowed, he threw the tea cup on the ground hard, and said in a solemn tone: "You know that you are noisy, but now that you are ready to fly, you don't want to explain it, do you want to quarrel when you meet?" β
'Smack! As everyone knows, the old lady actually threw the teacup on the table with all her strength, not only making a loud noise, but also spilling out the clear tea in the teacup, wetting the brocade on the table.
"Husband, you're really confused." The old lady was full of coldness and began to count, "I'm telling the truth, but some people don't listen, but lead the bad direction." What Yuan'er has done for the Hou Mansion over the years, you don't know. If it's not Yuan'er, then Anxin can become a queen? She is now unwilling to contribute to the Hou Mansion, which is what she has in her heart. β
"What do our fathers and daughters have in mind? Grandmother was so angry. β
Outside the hall, Anxin was accompanied by two personal palace maids, and looked at the old lady on the main seat with a sneer.
"Xin'er, why are you here?" An Qian greeted her, looking at her dress, with a look of disapproval.
They changed out of their palace clothes, dressed as ordinary women, and at first glance, they knew that they were leaving the palace without permission.
An Xin curled his lips and smiled, "Dad, if I don't come back, I don't know that Dad is so angry at home." Speaking of which, it's useless for her daughter, but she can't protect her father even a penny after being a country. β
With that, she swept lightly towards the old marquis.
Put on a false smile.
There has been no place for them in this family, I thought that I was the queen, and the people here would value them a little bit, but I didn't expect it to be the case in private.
Now that she was standing before a queen, no one saluted her.
The hand hidden in the sleeve clenched into a fist, and he clenched his teeth with peace of mind, and suddenly had another plan.
Rather than being used up and discarded aside, it is better to rely on yourself to hold your own piece firmly. She used to be so stupid and naΓ―ve, these people didn't treat her as family at all.
Although she is already a country, she is still a concubine who can't be on the stage in their eyes.
The corner of the old marquis's mouth raised a smile, and he asked kindly: "Peace of mind, why are you back?" β
On the main seat, the old lady sat sulking, and her face became more and more bad.
"Grandfather, I'm here to discuss with you, should we take the opportunity to get rid of the peace at tomorrow's flower viewing meeting?" An An smiled and sat down, not looking at the faces of the others.
The old marquis asked, "What does Xin'er mean?" β
"Leave her and let her recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, first, use her to make the Regent's Mansion less embankment for us, and second, she is now an imperial merchant, and her grandfather will not be unclear about how much money she makes with her things. She earns more money a year than some people have earned outside for more than ten years. β
When the words fell, An An glanced at An Yuan with a smile.
Some of the people she was talking about were Zhuang Yuhan.
The people present followed her gaze and knew it all in their hearts.
The old marquis was both moved and scrupled about the reassuring ment, and he was also afraid that if he was a little careless as his daughter-in-law said, it would lead the wolf into the house.
Seeing that the old marquis was hesitant, Anxin continued to persuade: "Grandfather, I have seen that peace today, and I have also seen Meng Chenxi's attention to peace and tranquility. We can't go wrong with winning over tranquility. That Gu married someone else in Niujiao Village and gave birth to a child, if we accept them generously, she will definitely be grateful. β
"No! We don't want such a woman. The old lady immediately objected.
An An smiled, "Grandmother, so if the third aunt comes back with her son, you won't let her enter the door either?" As she spoke, she glanced at An Yuan defiantly.
An Xin hates An Yuan the most, because he always looks like he is on top and will always suppress her father.
The old lady choked, and only said after a while: "One yard is one yard, Zhuang Yuhan gave birth to the grandson of our An family, how can this be compared to tranquility." β
"As far as I know, Zhuang Yuhan's son has a hereditary thirst-quenching disease, and we don't seem to have this history in Anfu, right?" An An looked at An Yuan with a sneer, "Third uncle."
Yuan, "Third Uncle, do you want to investigate?" Do you need to arrange a trustworthy doctor for the third uncle with peace of mind? Anxin can guarantee that he will not talk too much. β
"You, nonsense!" An Yuan was furious.
Anxin looked at the old marquis, saw that he frowned, and knew that he had listened, so he said again: "Third uncle, Anxin is talking nonsense, don't you send someone to check it?" Isn't there a light orchid by Zhuang Yuhan's side? Could it be that she also hides it from you? β
"How could Danlan hide it from me?"
"Third uncle, this is a bloodline issue, you can't be sloppy." An An moved his eyes to look at the old lady and smiled harmlessly, "Grandmother, that Zhuang Yuhan said that he and Feng Yanjin were only a nominal husband and wife, but in fact they were a real husband and wife. For her sake, Feng Yanjin also divorced his wife, the point is that I heard that the Feng family has a precedent for thirst-quenching disease. β
As soon as these words came out, it was like dropping a powerful bomb in the hall.
There was a boom, and the heads of several people hurt.
If this is the case, then isn't the An family not a single grandchild?
For a moment, the hall was silent, and the pins could be heard.
After a while, the old marquis slowly spoke, "Yuan'er, you go and find out about this matter, if Zhuang Yuhan really can't believe it, we can't use her." Yuan'er, you are doing big things, but you can't be too private. β
"Yes, Dad."
An Yuan had a stinky face, glaring at Anxin with hatred, and didn't look at her as a queen at all.
An Xin curled his lips and smiled, "Third Uncle, it's not me who you should hate." has played with the third uncle for many years, and that person is the original wife who was divorced by the third uncle. β
An Yuan's face sank a little, and it was as black as the bottom of the pot.
Seeing him like this, Anxin was even happier in his heart, and continued to sarcastically mock him, "Third uncle, Rong Anxin reminds you that when Xiuzhuang Yuhan went out, I was afraid that I would already hate our Anfu at that time." Besides, the third uncle should also know her temperament, is she the kind of person who can suffer? It's not good to say that she just took advantage of the weakness of the third uncle who wanted a son, and wanted to take revenge on the third uncle. β
An Yuanjian Anxin didn't forget to mock him in every word, and couldn't help but be angry, "Anxin, don't forget your identity, you dare to ridicule me like this?" β
She was obviously angry with him on purpose.
"You're a little sparrow, and even flying on a branch can't change that fact. Don't forget it, who helped you to where you are today? It's me, so, don't make me angry, or I'll do anything? β
An Qian's complexion changed suddenly, and he clenched his fists hard.
He hated An Yuan.
The old marquis and the old lady were shocked by the thirst-quenching disease, and they didn't relax for a while, and they didn't bother to care about their bickering.
Anxin shook his head helplessly, and said regretfully: "This matter, this palace really can't forget, but, third uncle, please recognize the facts." Regardless of whether I have changed from a sparrow to a phoenix, I am a golden phoenix in the eyes of the world. If you don't want to make a big deal, I'm welcome to do something. When the time comes, it will not be me who will suffer the most. β
"You?"
"Don't go too far." The old lady reprimanded.
An An smile said, "Grandmother, I'm just talking about things, and I don't mean to make fun of the third uncle." β
The old marquis kept staring at Anxin's expression, and his deep but sharp eyes were staring at Anxin tightly, wanting to see what she wanted to do, but unfortunately as an old fox, he didn't find a trace of abnormality.
The thick eyebrows furrowed deeply, and the old marquis said solemnly, "Yuan'er, I don't need to send someone to investigate, I will send someone to find out the truth." Anxin, why did you investigate Zhuang Yuhan? β
An An glanced at the people in the hall, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence, "An An is a descendant of the An family, so naturally he went to investigate this matter for his grandfather." Originally, Anxin didn't want to investigate, but Zhuang Yuhan was very powerful, and he actually found a big doctor to treat her son. The doctor came back and told me everything, and I ordered her to be investigated. β
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?" The old lady was displeased.
Anxin said: "The matter has not been clarified, so naturally I can't say that Anxin doesn't want my grandparents' wishes to be disappointed." Just now my talent came to the truth, and I came out non-stop. It's just that I didn't expect that Anxin was still misunderstood. β
Hearing such a reply, the old marquis's hand resting on his lap tightened slightly, his eyes shot a cold light, and there was still a trace of doubt in his eyes when he looked at Anxin, but when he touched Anxin's calm and waveless eyes, he couldn't point out any mistakes, so he could only continue to ask: "Then do you know the next step of the emperor and the regent?" β
An An shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that they discussed in the Changqiu Hall for an afternoon, and after dinner, Shen Wang and his wife left." Oh yes, General Meng and Prime Minister Mu also participated in the secret discussion together. β
"Didn't your people hear anything?" The old marquis immediately became nervous.
"The Changqiu Palace is controlled by secret guards, and there are no palace maids who even deliver water, so how can my people get close."
"This?" The old marquis let out a long breath, his eyebrows furrowed, "Don't worry, you can't stay outside for a long time, you go back to the palace first, and when you enjoy the flowers tomorrow, I will let your grandmother tell you of your plan." β
"Xin'er knows, grandfather, don't worry too much, Xin'er has a new situation, and he must be sent out as soon as possible." Anxin stood up, bowed slightly to the old marquis, and led the palace maid out of the Marquis An's mansion.
How could Anxin not understand what the old marquis meant? It's just to break her apart and discuss important matters.
In the end, I still didn't treat her as a family.
Then she doesn't have to be a fool anymore, rather than being used and discarded aside, it is better to stand firm on her own.
After leaving with peace of mind, An Yuan immediately called someone in, "You have to find a way to inform the people in the palace, let them pay close attention to the queen's every move, and if there is anything unusual, you must return in time." β
Anyuan doesn't believe in peace of mind......
"Third brother?" An Qianhao stood up and looked at An Yuan with some puzzlement, "How can you even doubt your heart?" You have this heart, why don't you investigate that Zhuang Yuhan? β
His daughter is the mother of a country, but she is still so suspicious, his heart is really sad.
"An Qian, what kind of attitude do you have?" An Yuan slapped it on the table hard, "Don't you think Anxin is strange today?" β
"What's weird? Didn't he just tell the fake face of Zhuang Yuhan? "An Qian's first time against An Yuan, he really couldn't bear him anymore.
"Did you poke your sore spot?"
"An Qian, do you really think that you are like that?" An Yuan stepped forward, grabbed his shirt angrily, and raised his fist to hit him.
"Stop!" The old marquis scolded angrily, "Are your brothers still young? When the day goes on, I don't want to think about what time it is? If you can't work together at this time, do you still want to achieve great things? β
An Yuan glared at An Qian angrily and let go of his hand stupidly.
An Qian gently smoothed the placket of his clothes, and his drooping eyes flashed with cold light.
Something big? This is their big business, and it has nothing to do with his peace and mind.
An Qian suddenly saw through it and figured it out.
He can't do this with them, he has to remind him tomorrow to be at ease, he has to keep an eye on everything, and he can't leave it too much to them. Otherwise, sooner or later, it will be a rabbit and a dead dog.
An Qian sat down lightly.
"Husband, don't you think it's a little strange today?" It's just that the old lady can't tell what's strange.
Thinking of Anxin's behavior today, the old lady was always a little uneasy in her heart, and always felt that why did she mention Zhuang Yuhan's matter at this time for no reason?
"What do you mean by Zhuang Yuhan?" The old marquis guessed it at once.
Speaking of this, he was also a little puzzled in his heart.
The old lady frowned slightly, sighed lightly, and said faintly: "It's not that I don't believe her, I just think her behavior today is a little strange." β
"Dad, after so many years, whether Xin'er is dedicated to this family, you always know in your heart. At this time, we must not spoil the major events for many years because of temporary suspicion. β
An Qian spoke for peace of mind.
The old marquis thought for a long time, and only after a long time did he speak, "What Qian'er said is not unreasonable, we suspect that no one can doubt Xin'er." This matter will stop here, madam, you will enter the palace tomorrow with peace of mind, how to deal with peace and tranquility, I have to think about it again. β
"Okay, I got it."
The old marquis rubbed his forehead and waved his hand, "You all go back to the courtyard to rest." β
"Yes."
In the hall, only the old marquis and his henchman Li Chong remained.
"Li Chong, you immediately send someone to keep an eye on Zhuang Yuhan, including who she came into contact with, some actions in secret, her relationship with Feng Yanjin, and the illness of the two children, all come back to report." The brows became tighter and tighter, and the old marquis's eyes were firm and persistent, with a hint of coldness, and he commanded Li Chong in a low voice.
"Yes, Li Chong knows." Li Chong replied in a low voice, reaching out to help him, "Master, Li Chong will send you back to the courtyard to rest first." β
"Okay, let's go back then."
Early the next morning.
White Tiger and Tyson sat in front of the carriage with solemn faces, and the two drove the carriage to the palace, An Ning and Meng Chenxi shared a carriage, showing the dignity of the regent Palace, and all the things were available.
There were five carriages in the back, one was Shen Wang and his wife, one was Meng Dong and his wife, one was Mu Yunmo's family, one was Wang and Gu, and the last one was Xuanwu and Qingxing, who had only rushed back yesterday.
Xuanwu followed Meng Dong to fight on the battlefield, and now he is a general, Qingxing was moved by Xuanwu's tenderness, and ten years ago, he also made a holy decree of marriage in the holy decree of General Xuanwu, and Qingxing married Xuanwu as Meng Xia's sister.
Today, the couple is guarding the border all year round.
Qingxing came back to meet Meng Xia this time, and Xuanwu received the secret order, so he accompanied her back to Luancheng.
"Are there a lot of people attending this cherry blossom viewing event?" An Ning lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see that the street was full of gorgeous carriages, and they were all in the direction of the palace, so he sighed.
"A lot!" Meng Chenxi carefully read the medical book in his hand, and answered An Ning's question in a timely manner, "This flower viewing conference is held for you, which shows how big your face is." β
Meng Chenxi flipped through the book and teased An Ning with a narrow tone.
"Thanks to the blessing of the prince, otherwise how could a little folk girl have such treatment?" An Ning replied lightly.
Meng Chenxi's dark eyes were always staring at the words on the page, but after hearing An Ning's words, the corners of her pursed lips couldn't help but raise slightly, and then she turned the page and said slowly, "I have to admit this, but the queen cares, you have to appreciate it to some extent." Aunt Qingxing will be by your side today, you don't want to walk around alone. β
But a hint of anger flashed between his eyebrows, and Meng Chenxi said again: "Especially the people of the An family, don't pay attention to them." β
An Ning couldn't help laughing lightly, casually took a medical book on the small table and flipped through it, "Didn't you say that I'm getting smarter and smarter?" In that case, what else are you worried about? Even if they want me to go back to Anfu, then I have to be a little bit of a point, it's too easy to agree, and they will be suspicious. β
"Teachable!" Idly picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, Meng Chenxi snatched the medical book in An Ning's hand, approached her and whispered: "That Anyi, you have to be careful of her." β
"Why?"
Meng Chenxi stretched out her long arm and put An Ninglou into her arms, looking down at her with a smile, "Because she may do unreasonable things because of jealousy." β
An Ning moved her body a little uncomfortably, and was about to look up, but saw that Meng Chenxi's black eyes were already staring at her, her cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, but her mind was sober and asked, "Does she like the prince?" β
Meng Chenxi did not return immediately
didn't answer An Ning immediately, his smiling eyes were dyed with a hint of tenderness, staring at An Ning's full and ruddy red lips, and asked lazily: "Ning'er, are you sure you want to call me the prince?" β
"Aren't you the prince of the world?"
"Deserve the punishment!" Meng Chenxi lowered his head and kissed her red lips, and after some tossing and sucking, he was unwilling to let go of her, "I really want to marry you tomorrow." β
"You rascal." An Ning pushed Meng Chenxi away, angry and pretty, her eyes were full of shyness, and her unique style made Meng Chenxi instantly engraved into her heart.
"It's already like this, it's better to break the jar." When the words fell, Meng Chenxi's lips pressed against An Ning's red lips again, and she instantly attacked it when she opened her mouth slightly.
An Ning couldn't help but retreat, but Meng Chenxi held her head with one hand, hugged her waist with the other, and tightened her hand slightly to prevent her from having a chance to distance themselves from each other.
"Ning'er, do you want me to tell you what you mean by being a hooligan?" Feeling that she was about to run out of breath, Meng Chenxi slightly loosened her lips and stared at the person in front of her with a smile.
"Don't!" An Ning's eyes were quickly covering his lips, and he said with annoyance in his eyes: "This is a carriage, and there are people coming and going on the street outside, don't do this again." β
Before she could finish speaking, there was a tingling sensation in her palms.
He, he actually kissed the palm of her hand.
Her face turned red, An Ning looked up, and saw Meng Chenxi kissing her palm with an indulgent face, "You, don't do this." She stared at him with a hot face.
"Alas......" An almost inaudible sigh overflowed from Meng Chenxi's lips, and then he withdrew from An Ning's palm, and glanced at An Ning with some complaint, "It's here." β
Arrived?
An Ning came back to his senses, only to realize that the carriage had already stopped.
Thinking that White Tiger and Tyson might have heard everything outside, An Ning's face turned even redder.
Meng Chenxi led An Ning out of the carriage, and a huge group of people outside were waiting for them, An Ning couldn't help but be stunned, and her face was hot again.
"An Ning, come here." Meng Xia beckoned to her.
An Ning bowed his head and walked to Meng Xia's side under the interesting scrutiny of everyone, "Aunt." β
"An Ning, this is your Aunt Qingxing." Meng Xia introduced her.
The people present, except for the Qingxing couple, the others have already known An Ning.
"Aunt Qingxing."
"Good! That's nice! Qing Xing looked at An Ning with a happy face, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
"Qingxing, when I enter the palace, I can't be by Anning's side all the time, so you can help bring Anning with you." Meng Xia said softly.
"Okay."
Qing Xing nodded, and Yan sΓΉ appeared at the bottom of her eyes.
At the gate of the palace, many carriages were parked one after another, and many officials came over with their daughters to salute, "The lower officials have seen the regent, the princess, the prime minister, the prime minister's wife, General Meng, the county lord, and Mrs. Meng." β
Shen looked at his head and said lightly: "General Li, you don't have to be polite. β
Everyone greeted each other, and all of a sudden the entrance of the palace was very lively.
Shen Wang saw that there were more and more carriages, so he said, "Everyone go in, don't let the emperor and queen wait for a long time." β
"Yes, yes, what the prince said."
A chorus of voices.
Entering the palace, Meng Xia took her female dependents to the imperial garden to greet the queen, and Shen Wang and a few people went to the upper study to find the emperor.
You don't need to look closely, you can know that this person is An Yuan.
Meng Chenxi couldn't help frowning, a cold light flashed in her calm eyes, and several people glanced at each other, raised their feet and walked towards the study.
Hearing the footsteps, An Yuan retracted his thoughts and turned around, saluting Shen Wang with a calm face, "Wechen has seen the regent, the prince, the prime minister, and General Meng. β
"Master Hou." Several people nodded, and Mu Yunmo and Meng Dong returned the salute.
Shen Wang glanced at An Yuan and asked, "Master Hou, who are you?" β
"Oh, back to the regent's words, Wechen was summoned to wait for the marquis to summon me." An Yuan responded.
"I see." Shen Wang smiled faintly, "Then Master Hou will wait here for a while, and we will go in first." After speaking, he turned his head to look at the person behind him, and the four of them swaggered past An Yuan, and entered the upper study under his unwilling angry gaze.
An Yuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
As soon as a few people went in for a while, a little eunuch ran out and said in front of An Yuan: "Master Hou, the emperor is invited." With that, he stepped aside and let him go in first.
An Yuan's brows furrowed without a trace, and then he said in a low voice: "There is Gonggong Lao." β
"Master Hou is polite."
An Yuan stepped into the main hall, his calm eyes shot a terrifying coldness, secretly clenched his fists, and his heart was indignant, he swore that one day, he would let those people just now bow down at his feet.
In the main hall, Shen Wang and the others had already sat down, he stepped forward and walked to the center of the main hall, and saluted respectfully, "Weichen see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" With that, he threw off his robe and knelt down.
Shen Shouye on the main seat seemed to be distracted, and when An Yuan knelt on his knees, he suddenly realized his soberness, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Ying, hurry, hurry up for me to help the marquis." β
"Yes, Your Majesty." Father-in-law Ying hurriedly stepped forward to help Anyuan, "Master Hou, please get up." β
"Emperor Xie!" An Yuan got up and stood in the center of the hall, and when he lowered his eyes, his eyes flashed with a gloomy gaze.
"Father-in-law Ying, bring a chair for Master Hou."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty."
An Yuan sat at the bottom, absentmindedly listening to Shen Shouye and Shen Wang talking about the affairs of the court, but no one asked him what he meant, and they seemed to regard him as transparent, intentionally or unintentionally.
An Yuan was secretly angry, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched into a fist.
"Alright! Let's too
Hoo! Let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden. I don't know how long it took, Shen Shouye got up and looked at everyone, opened his mouth with an indifferent face, and led everyone in the direction of the Imperial Garden.
An Yuan half-closed his eyes, followed closely behind them, and went out of the study, when An Yuan passed by Qiushui, who was dressed as a man, his cold eyes suddenly smiled, and his inky black pupils hid a deep sneer.
He passed by Qiushui and took the note handed by Qiushui without leaving a trace.
He glanced down at Liao Liao's words, but his brows immediately relaxed.
"Now a hundred flowers are blooming, and the whole palace is full of birds and flowers." Standing slowly under the promenade of the Imperial Garden, watching the flowers blooming all over the garden, Shen Shouye spoke with some emotion.
Hearing this, the smile on An Yuan's lips deepened a little.
It won't be long before this palace will no longer belong to you.
"The emperor blessed the Great Jin, and now the Great Jin country is peaceful and peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment." Looking at the flowers in the garden, An Yuan said insincerely.
Meng Chenxi turned his head to look at An Yuan and said with a smile: "Master Hou, this is extremely true. β
Hearing this, An Yuan's hand behind his back tightened slightly, but in an instant, the clenched fist loosened again, and then spoke, "Weichen hasn't congratulated the prince yet, the prince is looking for a heart, it's really gratifying." β
The corners of Meng Chenxi's mouth were filled with a faint smile, and he said with a smile: "Thank you, Master Hou." Speaking of tranquility, he is indeed my confidant. I have been looking for her for so many years, and I will cherish this happiness. Alas, there are only some people, who do not know treasures. β
Listening to Meng Chenxi's words, An Yuan's expression became complicated and ugly, "Lord Shizi's words seem to be something in his words?" β
"Is there one?" Meng Chenxi bent her lips and smiled, winking at him, "Master Hou, don't think about it." β
An Yuan looked away and stopped answering his words.
Meng Chenxi still smiled lightly, but there was a faint light in his half-closed eyes, and he said in a very light tone, "Your Majesty, yesterday my grandmother accepted An Ningniang as her righteous daughter, and when it comes to old things, we know that my aunt is actually the eldest lady of the Marquis of An's mansion, oh no, now it should be changed to the second lady." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Shen Shouye stopped, turned his head to look at An Yuan, and asked, "Aiqing, is this matter serious?" β
An Yuan shook his head, "Wechen hasn't seen this person, so Wechen doesn't dare to make a conclusion." Back then, Weichen's second brother died early, and the second sister-in-law was delirious, pregnant with Liujia, and lost outside the city. Weichen's family sent people to search for many years, but to no avail. If it is really the mother of the princess, it is the blessing of the Weichen family, and the ancestors bless it. β
After the words fell, he strode forward and walked in front of Meng Chenxi, "Lord Shizi, can you lead Weichen to meet the mother of the princess, if it is really Weichen's second sister-in-law, then Weichen will... Only... I'm happy for the second brother of Weichen. β
Early this morning, the old marquis made a decision that he must recognize Anning.
Now, Meng Chenxi brought up this matter, and he just had a reason, and he also took the opportunity to talk about the matter. Of course, these statements were all ordered by the old marquis, and their family had already colluded.
The old marquis still can't resist Anning's financial resources and the power of the regent palace.
Although An Yuan was unwilling and unwilling to accept it, he didn't dare to disobey the old marquis. Although the An family is in charge, the real strength is still in the hands of the old marquis, and for so many years, he is just a puppet of the Hou Mansion.
"Let's go! Let's go to the Queen, and if the Queen knows about it, she will be very happy. Shen Shouye happily walked towards the banquet point in the imperial garden, and the people behind him hurriedly followed.
At the flower-viewing banquet, people are boiling, people come and go, everyone is standing together in groups of three or five to chat, and the atmosphere is very lively.
Ying Gonggong announced the little eunuch beside him, and the little eunuch immediately trotted forward and shouted, "The emperor has arrived!" The Regent has arrived! β
The imperial garden, which was lively one second, was silent the next, and then everyone knelt down and saluted, shouting: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" Regent Chitose! β
"All the ministers are flat!"
Shen Shouye raised his hand with a smile, took a few steps to personally help the queen headed, the two of them were affectionate, everyone looked at the scene of the emperor's deep affection, and they were all envious of the Marquis An's mansion.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Anxin looked shy.
Shen Shouye took her hand and didn't let go, he smiled at her, "Go!" Let's sit down. β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Shouye took Anxin to sit on the main seat, and the two swept over everyone and said in unison: "All the secretaries, please take a seat." β
"Emperor Xie, Empress Xie."
The crowd sat down.
The official sitting next to An Yuan didn't miss the opportunity to pat himself on the back, "Master Hou, congratulations." β
An Yuan frowned, "Why are you happy?" β
"The emperor and queen are deeply in love, how can it not be the joy of the Hou Mansion?"
An Yuanpi coped with a smile, "Thank you!" His gaze swept around, and finally settled on the Gu clan beside Old Madam Meng and the county lord of Lanning, and his face couldn't help but sink.
Didn't you say that she had a hard time?
Why hasn't her face changed much, and the smile on her face is so satisfied?
The eyes with the sword frost were staring at the Gu family, An Yuan's face was extremely cold, with a hint of coldness, which made people tremble.
Gu Shi felt two gloomy and sympathetic gazes towards her, so she turned her head to look, and when she saw An Yuan not far away, her heart couldn't help but raise her throat, and she hurriedly avoided his gaze.
She has an inexplicable fear of An Yuan.
Shen Shouye glanced around, looked at Mrs. Meng, and said, "Mrs. Meng, I heard that you just accepted a righteous daughter, I wonder if you can introduce me?" β
Old Madam Meng stood up, led Gu to the aisle in the middle of the banquet seat, and the two saluted together, "The old woman and her righteous daughter Gu Chan see the emperor and the queen." β
Gu hurriedly said: "The people's woman Gu Chan greets the emperor and the queen, long live the emperor, long live the queen, and the queen mother is a thousand years old."
Chitose Chitose Chitose. "Her manners are generous and decent, and she doesn't look like an ordinary woman at first glance.
Shen Shouye hurriedly raised his hand, "Hurry up, two of you." β
"Your Majesty."
Old Madam Meng held Gu's hand tightly, looked at Shen Shouye, and said, "Your Majesty, Gu Chan has a poor background, she has suffered outside all these years, because she couldn't stand the pain of losing her husband back then, and she has lost her memory for many years. Now that I have returned to my hometown, I have remembered the past. β
Old Madam Meng sighed with infinite emotion and glanced at Gu Shi distressedly.
In the crowd, there were all high-ranking officials and nobles in Luancheng, and many people recognized Gu Chan, "Oh my God, isn't that the eldest lady of the Marquis of An's Mansion?" Back then, she lost her pregnancy and disappeared after losing her husband, and she didn't expect that seventeen years later, she returned to Luancheng. β
"You're really confused, she's Second Mrs. An." The person next to him winked at the man, and after the man saw the peace of mind beside the emperor, he came back to his senses and didn't dare to speak anymore.
Old Madam An suddenly stood up in her seat and rushed to Gu with tears streaming down her face. She looked Gu up and down, full of disbelief, she held Gu's shoulder, and said with tears in her eyes: "Xiao Chan, is it really you?" β
"Old lady." Gu Shi called softly, and tears had fallen.
Mrs. An glanced at her, "How can you call the old lady, isn't it called the mother?" She hugged Gu Shi tightly and cried: "My hard-working daughter-in-law, our family has been looking for you for eighteen years, where are you suffering?" β
Gu Shi was disgusted, but now in this situation, she still kept shedding tears.
Last night, Meng Chenxi found her and An Ning, and also told them about their possible plans to settle down.
The Gu family didn't want to have any more entanglements with the Marquis of An's Mansion, but Meng Chenxi said that if they were sincere, they would still have to go back to the Marquis Mansion. Although he didn't say the real reason, Gu Shi was also sensitive to the fact that things would not be as simple as recognizing relatives.
Shen Shouye looked at it, turned his head to look at Anxin, "Queen, it seems that my joke yesterday has come true, you and Chenxi's daughter-in-law are really sisters." As a result, the An family will have another princess. β
As soon as these words came out, there was silence below, and everyone looked at An Ning and Meng Chenxi tacitly.
What the emperor meant by this was the princess of the Regent's Mansion who was only married yesterday, she was the granddaughter of the Marquis of An's Mansion, that is, the daughter of the Second Lady An who had been missing for more than 18 years.
Everyone couldn't react.
Someone approached An Yuan, with a face clinging, "Master Hou, I'm very happy." β
An Yuan smiled and didn't say much.
He wasn't happy at all.
A flower-viewing meeting, and finally became the recognition meeting of the Marquis of An's Mansion, Shen Shouye immediately mentioned Anning's identity as the county lord again, and everyone had no intention of appreciating the flowers again except for congratulations or congratulations.
When night falls, the palace gardens are brightly lit and lively.
The emperor decreed, in order to congratulate the Marquis of An on finding his long-lost relatives, he deliberately postponed the flower-viewing meeting that was supposed to be dispersed in the afternoon to the evening, and ordered a banquet to be lined up, and everyone was happy.
Everyone looked at the emperor and queen on the throne, and knew that the emperor was giving face to the queen.
Of course, it is also because An Ning is Meng Chenxi's concubine.
The banquet didn't end until the end of the day, and Meng Chenxi helped the drunk An Ning out of the palace.
The people from the Marquis of An's Mansion followed closely behind, supporting Mrs. An's An Yi to look at the long back in front of her, as tall as a pine, the light purple robe, and the mutton fat jade crown expressed Meng Chenxi's nobility to the fullest.
She saw that An Ning was almost completely clinging to Meng Chenxi's body, and her heart couldn't help but roll with jealousy, her eyes were red, and she couldn't wait to step forward and tear An Ning to pieces.
Mrs. An turned her head to look at her and comforted her, "Yi'er, don't worry, grandmother will be the master for you." β
"Grandmother, the emperor has given you a marriage, you ......"
"Why don't you trust Grandmother?" Mrs. An was a little displeased, remembering that she staged a bitter love scene against the Gu family at the banquet, she was unhappy, why did that kind of woman let her do that?
The most hateful thing is to let her take An Ning back to the Hou Mansion to recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, she actually said that she wanted to listen to An Ning.
A mother has to obey her daughter's arrangement in everything, and this kind of woman is fortunate not to be the mistress of the Hou Mansion. Otherwise, she would vomit blood. In the eyes of Mrs. An, the Gu family is a useless person.
If Gu didn't have that attitude, she didn't have to follow An Ning out in a hurry.
Just thinking about it, she was angry.
Now that the identity of their mother and daughter is known to the emperor, and they have to mention the matter of the county lord, if they don't recognize them and return to the Hou Mansion to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, it will make people in the upper circles of Luancheng laugh.
"Yi'er naturally believes in her grandmother."
"Hurry up, you can't let them get in the carriage and leave." Mrs. An reminded the two of them to speed up their pace and hurriedly chased after them. However, Meng Chenxi and An Ning in front of them seemed to be deliberate, and they just couldn't catch up.
An Yi was anxious and shouted, "Brother Meng, you wait." β
Meng Chenxi not only didn't stop, but walked faster.
An Yi was angry, let go of Mrs. An's hand, trotted after them, and stopped them, "Brother Meng, Yi'er called you from behind just now, why are you walking faster and faster?" β
An Yi's words suddenly provoked Meng Chenxi's face to sink slightly, and then he turned cold and said, "Miss An Yi, we don't seem to be so familiar, right?" You have a mouthful of Brother Meng, a mouthful of meaning, I really haven't understood. β
"Brother Meng, you?" An Yi was said by him, his eyes were red, and he was about to cry.
An Ning tried hard to open her eyes and look at An Yi, and when she saw the pitiful appearance of people crying, she teased Meng Chenxi, "Lord Shizi, you have to be a little polite to the girl's family." This delicate girl is going to be made to cry by you, don't you know what it means to be pitiful? β
Meng Chenxi lowered her head and smiled evilly, "Do you need me to tell you with my actions?" As he spoke, he slowly lowered his head.
An Ning immediately pushed him away and said hurriedly: "No need, I understand." β
"Got it?" Meng Chenxi couldn't help but tease her.
An Ning nodded like garlic, "Understood." Really got it. β
"Good!" Meng Chenxi tapped her nose.
An Yi was left to the side, watching her sweetheart flirt with another woman and scolding Qian, she gritted her back molars with hatred, and took a few deep breaths to suppress her anger.
"Brother Meng, Yi'er has something to do with Sister An Ning."
"Who is your Sister Anning?" Now, An Ning is not happy.
