Chapter 257 Mei Shi's Stupidity
Of course, it's not just this, she doesn't know many things about Qi Yunhao, and she doesn't rule out contacting them, but they keep it from her.However, what she cares about right now is where are the people whom Mrs. Ye married as a dowry?Could it be that these people were all eliminated by Mrs. Mei?But even if she had the guts, wouldn't King Dingbei stop it?Will the Ye family not come to denounce?
Liuli looked at King Dingbei and the Mei family, and suddenly felt that the relationship between King Dingbei, Mrs. Ye and the Mei family was full of strangeness.And could the grievances between Qi Yunhao and King Dingbei be related to this?
Liuli was full of doubts, but she didn't have time to think about it, because the concierge had already reported that the eldest wife and second wife of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion had arrived at the door, because time was tight, so she didn't go in, please get on the sedan chair with the princes and ladies. Meet at the door.

So the crowd waited and got up.Because it was a palace banquet, today they all rode in their respective sedan chairs, Sister Duan Wenhui and Qi Mulan squeezed the sedan chairs with Mrs. Mei to the door first, and then got into their mother's sedan chairs.Liuli was very comfortable in a second-grade sedan chair with Laurel and Begonia alone, and of course got out of the sedan chair at the door to greet the two wives, greeted the two wives, and after a few polite words, they boarded the sedan chair again.

The sedan chair went up the street, Liuli thought about it and asked Yuegui: "Have you ever heard about the matter between the prince and Mrs. Ye?"

The two of Yuegui thought for a while, then shook their heads and said, "Mrs. Ye has passed away for 21 years. The mansion has long been ruled by Mrs. Mei. Who would mention this?" Knowing that Liuli would not ask for no reason, she said again : "If grandma wants to know, let's go back and ask."

Liuli thought about it, waved her hand and said: "Forget it, if this matter is not handled well, it will cause disaster." When inquiring about these matters, not only must worry about Dingbei Wang and Mei Shi, but also need to worry about praying for Yunhao.Liuli has never heard him mention her mother, so it's better not to touch her lightly if she doesn't know how powerful she is.Otherwise, even if he didn't question her, even if he stabbed her a few words like he stabbed Duan Wenhui, she wouldn't be able to bear it.After all, this is a family matter.

Not long after arriving in Miyagi, there were still eunuchs leading them to Qingning Palace where the East Palace was located.

Since Lu Zhen was not conferred the title of grandson of the emperor, but only the eldest grandson of the emperor, the banquet this time was held in Qingning Palace.As for the reason why he was not conferred the title of grandson, there are many opinions in the court, of course, it is more likely that the emperor is not satisfied with the conduct of the prince, so he is not very fond of this eldest grandson.But the queen is different. The crown prince is her own son, and Lu Zhen is her eldest grandson. To some extent, they are also her reliance. Of course, they will spare no effort in fighting for their interests.

So on the way to Qingning Palace, the ostentation was no different from the grand wedding of the prince and prince, and there was an endless stream of ministers, officials and family members.When they got to the Qingning Palace, they went down to the ground, and another maid led the female relatives to the side palace to go to Zhongcui Palace, while the ministers and workers stayed in Duanqing Palace.

Marriages in the palace are not like outside, they are married before noon, so they all come early, and this time the eldest son and grandson concubine are also on the way.

When Liuli, Mei Shi and others entered Zhongcui Palace, a maid immediately came forward and said, "Your Majesty has something to say, please invite the wives of Dingbei Prince's Mansion and Zhongyonghou Mansion to go to the back hall for tea."

The Empress is of course the Empress Empress, Liuli glanced into the inner hall, and saw the maids and eunuchs shuttling around, thinking there were already many people, so she followed Mei Shi and Mrs. Qi's sister-in-law and went to the back hall .Sister Duan Wenhui and Qi Mulan stayed outside because they had never been summoned.

After entering the hall, two more maids came out to open the curtain. After they entered, two more maids came over and bowed to lead the way. They passed a wide corridor, went up several carpeted steps, and passed through a With the big screen open eight times, gentle female voices were gradually heard.

"Mrs. Dingbei Wang, Mrs. Zhenguo General, Mrs. Zhongyong Houfu Shizi, the second wife is here."

After the eunuch finished singing his promise, he heard an old voice from inside: "Please come in."

Mei Shi and Shi Zi's wife Yang Shi made some concessions and entered side by side.And Liuli, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dingbei Prince's Mansion, the future clan wife, is also qualified to enter the palace side by side with Mrs. Qi.

As soon as I stepped down the jade steps, I found a queen in full costume sitting on top of the dange, wearing a crown of nine dragons and six phoenixes on her head, wearing a deep green dress with small round flowers in the weaving pattern, and a jade leather framed with golden clouds, dragons and green qi on her waist. Belt, countless gold and jade.There are also five-color ribbons and three-color ribbons, which are too complicated and luxurious.Zheng smiled slightly and watched them come.

There are more than a dozen noble ladies sitting on both sides of the lower head, each of them is wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, dressed up as a married woman, the eldest princess is sitting on the lower head of the queen, her eyes fell on Liuli, and Liuli was the first to see it among the group of people. she.

Ever since I saw her in Jinquan Temple that year, I haven't seen her since then.Liu Li gave her a slight chin first, and followed Mei Shi and others to pay homage to the queen in front of Danchi, before formally saluting her.

Although she knew that her meeting at this time was very meaningful in the eyes of insiders, such as Mei Shi, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, but she dared not forget the kindness of the eldest princess to her, let alone because Afraid of rumors, he left behind the etiquette that a junior should have when treating his elders.In any case, the eldest princess can afford this gift from her.

"You child!"

The Eldest Princess obviously didn't expect her to do this, she felt a little relieved in her words, pulled her up, and asked, "Has your master ever sent you a letter?"

Liuli knew that she was looking for a step down for herself. Guo Xia was the female official beside her, and she was Guo Xia's disciple. After the eldest princess asked this question, this level of courtesy seemed reasonable again.So he shook his head and said: "Sir, once he goes away, he is at ease, except for a letter from me before getting married, there is no news about the rest. I think it is a good life."

The eldest princess looked at her with a smile, patted the back of her hand, and told her to sit down.

Her position is just below Mei's, and Mei's is opposite the eldest princess, the queen's lower right.Liuli raised her eyes and saw that besides the eldest princess, there was also the little concubine Qi from Prince Yu's mansion, so she also smiled and bowed.Concubine Concubine Concubine Concubine Qi will also be the princess of the county in the future, which is the same level as the Mei family should have now. The prince of the older generation in this dynasty is also Prince Yu. The gift is also worthy of it.

Apart from these two people, I don't know much about other people. She used to go to banquets to make friends with young noble ladies, but now the noble ladies who are the first and second ranks of the dynasty and the princes are all very old, such as Concubine Yu, Zhongyonghou and his wife will not come out to join in the fun, and everyone present here is around forty years old. Even if they are nobles in the palace, except for Concubine Luo, who is the only noble concubine in the palace, who is of a higher rank than himself There is no one who is higher than himself. After such a calculation, at such a grand wedding banquet, there are only a handful of people who can make him bend down.

Of course, Concubine Luo would not be in such a place.

The queen first exchanged a few words with Mei and the others, then turned around with a smile, and said: "Yun Hao and his wife are married by the Holy Majesty and Ben Gong, but this is the first time Madam Ben Gong has met. It's a meeting ceremony." He waved his hand to let the maid behind him come forward, and ordered to bring out a very decent brocade box.

On occasions like this, the Holy Majesty, the Empress, or even the nobles and ladies in the palace would keep a few copies of these gifts with them. After all, there would always be some unexpected people who needed rewards temporarily, so when the brocade box was brought, Liuli immediately He got up and knelt down, prostrated himself on the ground and said: "My wife thank you for your reward, I wish your mother all the blessings and peace."

Seeing that she did not refuse at all, Mrs. Mei couldn't help getting up from the side, and said: "The empress's love is boundless grace, how can I receive this reward again?"

Little do they know that as a junior, they can only accept the rewards from the elders but not refuse them, otherwise it means disrespect.Not to mention that this woman in front of you is the most honorable woman in the world, no matter what her reward is, the other party will accept it, even if it is a glass of poisoned wine, you have no reason to refuse.Unexpectedly, Mrs. Mei cut in such a reckless sentence, the Queen's face changed immediately, Liu Li was also surprised, and everyone in the room stopped talking.

Liuli knew that the Mei family was petty, but she didn't expect to be so shameless. In fact, she also knew that the queen would not like her, because she had humiliated the prince in front of millions of people, and she still has to bear many doubts from the people. At this time, the queen is just expressing her importance to the Dingbei Palace in front of everyone. If she refuses, it is tantamount to directly brushing the Queen's kindness to the ground, and again ignorant of praise. This is not representing the Dingbei Palace Slap the queen in the face?
At this moment, Liuli really felt that Qi Yunhao's dislike of her was justified.Who would like a stepmother who is so ignorant and unable to understand the situation?

"I think Mrs. Mei's words should mean that Mrs. General, as the daughter-in-law of the palace, has already received the favor from the Holy Majesty and the Empress during her wedding." At this time, Mrs. Yang, Mrs. Zhongyonghou who came with her, said with a smile. "It's just that there is only the general's wife, a junior here. Of course, the empress's reward is also reasonable."

Liuli could see that this was an affable person. On the one hand, she wanted to help the Mei family smooth things over, but on the other hand, she didn't want to offend the queen, so saying this was actually the same as saying nothing.

After all, the queen is a queen, her expression is not moving, and she still smiles, but when she looks at Mei's side, her eyes appear contemptuous.

Although the palace is locked up and not dealt with, it is related to the future of the entire Dingbei palace. Companion to the king is like companion to a tiger. This matter cannot be sloppy.After thinking for a while, he said: "My wife is young and ignorant. I just saw that the box in your empress's hand is very delicate. I think that since your empress has offered to reward me, now my wife will use her age to try to please her. I beg your mother to give it to the minister's wife to play with!"

She has an exquisite figure, and she indeed looks very delicate among a group of middle-aged and elderly women. In addition, her voice is intentionally a little cute, and her childishness is revealed immediately. The eldest princess smiled and said: "Look at her!" She has a naughty look and good eyesight, the empress is just considering her smallness, don't be reluctant, just give it to her!"
