Chapter 145 Peach Blossom
Yun Feng was also called by the Queen Mother, which surprised Meng Jiao.
She could see that the Empress Dowager must have arranged this matter early in the morning, and maybe she had arranged for Yun Feng to enter the palace when she was handing the post to the palace.
But what is the intention of the Empress Dowager's move?
"You must have seen this nephew of the Ai family."
"The Empress Dowager said it well. When Mr. Yun came to the door to ask for a cousin, he naturally met him."
Meng Jiao stated the facts, but the Empress Dowager was in love with this matter again.
If it weren't for... how could she ask her favorite nephew to marry Liu Shaoyue, a woman of such a background, to be worthy of being a noble family in the Yun family?
It was just a temporary solution. Meng Jiao took it to public and made it difficult for her, the empress dowager, to be unable to get along with her.
"Speaking of this, your cousin, I haven't seen you before. If you have time one day, ask her to come to the palace to see you."
"If the Queen Mother doesn't dislike it, she can naturally summon her cousin to the palace to see her."
As he was talking here, Yun Feng was also led in by the maid.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Meng Jiao felt that the energetic second son of the Yun family seemed to be a little disappointed.
"Yun Feng pays homage to my aunt Qiansui!"
"Feng'er, come, come and sit here."
Unlike her expression of smiling at Meng Jiao, the Queen Mother was really happy to see Yun Feng, the nephew. When Yun Feng walked up, the Queen Mother took his hand and pulled him to sit down.
However, this very close action was something wrong in Meng Jiao's eyes.
How could my aunt and nephew be so overly intimate in front of everyone?
"I wonder what my aunt called her nephew into the palace this time?"
"You child, you are the nephew of the Ai family. The Ai family misses you. Can't you call you into the palace to meet you?"
The Empress Dowager kept holding Yun Feng's hand, but the Momo and the maid who were serving her seemed to be familiar with each other.
Meng Jiao frowned slightly. If she hadn't heard from Shen Yunchan that the Empress Dowager liked beautiful boys, perhaps when she saw this scene, she would only think that this was the closeness between aunts and nephews.
But after learning this secret, Meng Jiao unconsciously thought about it in another direction.
"I see that my little wife is still here, so I guess my aunt should have something to discuss with her."
Yun Feng also looked respectful to the Empress Dowager, but Meng Jiao was willing to investigate, but she also saw a little hidden emotion from it.
I can't tell what the emotions are, but it just makes people feel cold in my heart.
"Sure enough, Feng'er is the most favored by the Ai family. Isn't this the one you are already getting engaged to the girl of the Liu family? It happened that she also entered the palace today. The Ai family wanted to ask both sides of the question. If you want to get engaged, the Ai family naturally needs to prepare generous gifts."
The Queen Mother’s reason is high-sounding, but Meng Jiao heard something was wrong from it.
When she came to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager only mentioned a word about the marriage between the two families. Later, Yun Feng appeared, and she didn't want to bring this sentence at all.
Could it be that the Empress Dowager summoned her over, not because she wanted to target her, but because of the drunkard's intentions were not wine, but Yunfeng?
This idea was too shocking, but Meng Jiao couldn't convince herself to think of a more reasonable reason.
"It's up to my aunt to decide everything."
"Everything depends on the Queen Mother, I have no objection."
Meng Jiao suddenly spoke, which reminded the Queen Mother that there was an outsider sitting in the hall, and glanced at Meng Jiao with some displeasure.
"It's getting late. Since this matter has been decided, you can go back."
The Empress Dowager said, and Meng Jiao naturally would not stay here.
Moreover, in just one sentence, Meng Jiao had already confirmed her inner guess.
The Empress Dowager's intention was only Yunfeng for this move.
Meng Jiao left the empress dowager's bedroom and accidentally found Mei Ruo from Ruizhangtai waiting outside. Seeing this, I don't know how long I have been waiting.
"Sister Mei Ruo? Why are you here?"
Meng Jiao shouted, and Mei Ruo saw that the person had come out, so she ran over and helped Meng Jiao slowly walk down the steps.
"Oh my little lady, you've come out. This is not the Imperial Concubine who is worried that you will suffer from grievances here, so she specially asked me to come over and see you. If you come out, you will take you back."
Meng Jiao smiled and listened to Mei Ruo's nagging, but her heart felt warm and soft.
Concubine An was so considerate that if she hadn't really taken good care of her, she would definitely not have been so comprehensive.
"It's a worry for Aunt An."
"What is the little lady saying? The concubine treats you as her daughter. How can her daughter go out for so long? This is the reason why a mother is not worried about it."
The two of them talked and laughed and returned to Ruizhangtai, but found that Guifei An was not in Ruizhangtai.
"Madam, where is Aunt An? Why aren't you here?"
"A man just came from His Majesty and said he wanted to summon the concubine, but the empress had already given orders early. When the young lady came back, she would pass on dinner."
Meng Jiao wanted to speak, but suddenly realized that Concubine An went to accompany the king at this time, and must have used the emperor with dinner together, so she no longer refused and used dinner in peace.
"The Concubine knows that the little lady likes glutinous rice duck, so she specially ordered our Ruizhangtai kitchen to make it separately for the little lady."
"Yes, this dish takes a lot of effort!"
The nanny and Mei Ruo sang together, and Meng Jiao heard Concubine An’s full intentions from it, but she was not very good at saying anything, and with a gentle smile on her face, she could already express her current thoughts.
While eating here, a little maid hurriedly walked in from outside and said a few words in Mei Ruo's ear. Mei Ruo was a little surprised and looked at Meng Jiao unconsciously. She lowered her head in a flash and waved her hand to signal the little maid to go down to serve her.
However, Meng Jiao still noticed Mei Ruo's eyes.
"Sister Mei Ruo, is there anything wrong outside?"
"It's not a big deal when I go back to the young lady, but the Fourth Prince was waiting outside the hall, saying that he wanted to see the concubine."
The Fourth Prince? Is it the Yan Dynasty?
When I came here at this time, I probably knew that the border was in shock and wanted to come to Concubine An to explore the situation first.
"Since Aunt An is not here, why don't you ask him to wait in the outer hall first?"
Meng Jiao's method is reasonable. After all, there is a difference between men and women. It is naturally inconvenient for Meng Jiao to meet Yan Chao alone in the inner hall.
However, after hearing Meng Jiao's method, Mei Ruo was a little embarrassed and hesitated for a while, and finally said the next thing. (The peach blossoms bloom in a cluster without a master)
"The people below wanted to say this, but... but a little maid below said it wrong. The Fourth Prince knew that the little lady was here, and said yes, it would be the same if she could not see the concubine, but she would first meet the little lady."
