Chapter 775
The eunuch hesitated, took a look at Mu Qingli, and had to give up.
Even though he is someone who can be used in front of the empress, he is very powerful in the palace, but he knows very well that this East Palace is by no means a place where he can show his dignity.
This is the place of the prince.
"In that case, please."
"My father-in-law!"
Mu Qingli originally thought that she would meet Mrs. Meng in Kunning Palace, but she didn't, only the queen and the queen's direct daughter-in-law Xue Shi.
After thinking about it for a while, yes, it would be better if Mrs. Meng wasn't here.
If she were here, it would be as if she was suing the queen and deliberately making things difficult for her, a junior who bullied her.
The Meng family is not here at the moment, so no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with the Meng family.
If the empress uses means to force Mu Qingli to give in to what happened yesterday, it will show that she, the princess, is arrogant and domineering and bullying the Meng family.
Well, thinking about it further, why did she have the courage to do this, it must have something to do with the prince.
The crown prince is excluding dissidents, and the Second Highness is not pleasing to the eye...
Thanks to Zhou Yunshen's hard work on popular science during this period of time, Mu Qingli's brain is very good, so she thought so much after a detour.
"Greetings, Queen Mother!" Mu Qingli stepped forward and knelt.
As a crown princess, her status is the same as that of the imperial concubine in the palace. Except for special annual festivals or the queen's birthday, she does not need to kneel down in daily meetings.
This palace rule made Mu Qingli feel a lot better, otherwise, she would rather pretend to be sick for a long time, and then change into men's clothes and go out to enjoy herself.
"Let's get down! Sit down and talk!" The queen said softly with a smile, as always, in the demeanor of a loving mother, grand, dignified and gentle.
"Thank you mother!" Mu Qingli was not polite, and sat down calmly.
Xue couldn't help rolling her eyes and rolled her eyes again, thinking about her face? What a big face! It was just yesterday that something so rude and shameless happened at Meng's house, but today she has no shame at all after seeing her mother, it's really shameless!
Xue Shi bit her lip, and tried very hard to hold back her words of ridicule.
"You child, did you go to Meng's house yesterday?" The queen asked with a smile as soon as she opened her mouth without making any detours with Mu Qingli.
It is better to say that it is a question than a helpless inquiry.
Mu Qingli nodded, looked at the queen, "Yes, I'm going to pick up my cousin."
Do you want to pretend to be stupid? Let's pretend that everyone pretends to be together.
The queen saw that she admitted it boldly, without any euphemism, and without any superfluous explanation, she couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassing-what kind of temper is this? Could it be that she didn't know that she was from the Meng family?
Empress Meng frowned, glanced at her, hesitated to speak, and sighed, Fang Youyou said: "You child, you are too messy! If you want to pick up the Mo family, just send someone over to say it. Mo is the prince's cousin. They grew up together, and their relationship is naturally extraordinary. It is understandable that the prince misses her, but why did he come to the door in person? It's fine to go in person, what is the prince's concubine? You don't put up guards of honor, and the servants don't bring a few more. If you go like that, let people know, wouldn't you be a joke and not on the stage? What's more, those who don't know the inside story, I'm afraid you will fall out of favor in front of the prince What! Listen to what your younger siblings just said. It has been spread all over the outside world. I will be angry when I hear those words. You don’t care if you don’t listen! That’s all, why did you start a fight in Meng’s house again? Then Mrs. Meng reluctantly Counting your elders, why did you attack her again? If it gets out, do you still want your reputation as a princess? What do others think and think? You, you, you are so messed up! The crown prince doesn’t know what he thinks, and he won’t teach you! If your reckless behavior is heard by the emperor and angered by the emperor—it’s not the queen mother who scares you, the position of the crown princess is probably difficult to continue Go on! After all, the crown prince is the heir apparent, and the crown prince is the future mother and queen of the country, not everything can be messed up..."
Empress Meng even spoke with responsibility, sighed and preached, and every sentence sounded like it was for Mu Qingli's good and for Mu Qingli's sake.
And quietly provoked the relationship between her and the prince.
If she doesn't trust Zhou Yunshen enough, she will definitely suspect that there is an ambiguous relationship between him and Mo Xinyuan. After all, they are the cousins who can't tell the story the most, aren't they?
And he also suspects that Zhou Yunshen doesn't want her to be a princess anymore, and deliberately wants to make her make mistakes so that he can divorce her!
That's not to mention, but also use "good reputation", "the emperor's anger", "other people's jokes" and so on to scare her——
If she didn't have so much confidence in herself, if she didn't believe in Zhou Yunshen 100%, if she didn't take the position of princess concubine so seriously, then Queen Meng's earnest, heartfelt, and irrefutable words It will definitely break all her hearts!
From now on, she had no choice but to ask her to save her and show her a clear way!
Tsk—as expected of someone who is a queen, if you say these words, you will not be convinced.
But, she is Mu Qingli.
She loves Zhou Yunshen and trusts Zhou Yunshen even more.
If she had some "cousin and cousin" awkwardness towards Mo Xinyuan before, it disappeared after meeting Mo Xinyuan.
She once missed someone, and paid for it with her life.
Now she won't misjudge anyone when she misjudges anything.
Mo Xinyuan's feelings for Zhou Yunshen are clearly the younger sister's dependence and trust on her older brother, and it is by no means a bloody "cousin".
Before she met Mo Xinyuan, the queen's words might have had a little influence on her, but now, hehe!
As soon as Empress Meng finished speaking, Second Princess Xue smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm not the younger brother and sister who blamed you. You really made too much noise yesterday! If you don't say anything about humiliating the Meng family, you will also be disappointed." You have lost the dignity of the princess! How ugly the words outside can be spread! Yesterday, Mrs. Meng came into the palace to speak, and the mother was so worried that she didn't sleep well all night. No, it's early in the morning So I called you into the palace! The Mo family is also at fault for this, who would have thought that she would be ill again by such a coincidence, alas... Sister-in-law, you should think twice about what you do in the future. This is the capital, not some other place. No way! If you make a slight mistake and lose your reputation, you will be ruined, and this life will be over! At that time, even the crown prince will not be able to protect you!"
Mu Qingli sneered in her heart, but her face was ignorant.
She raised her head and said to Empress Meng in astonishment: "My queen, what did Mrs. Meng tell her when she entered the palace yesterday? I didn't do anything to the Meng family, let alone do anything to Mrs. Meng. There is absolutely no such thing! The reason why there is no ceremony of honor for the Crown Princess is because the Meng Mansion is at least the home of the stepmother, and it can also be regarded as a relative's house. Going to a relative's house here is so complicated and troublesome. Besides, I just came back from Lingshan Temple with the Crown Prince. The crown prince had to go back to the East Palace beforehand, so I stopped by the Meng Mansion to pick up my cousin. This--this doesn't seem to be a problem..."
