Guo Ting didn't quite understand at first, what did Mrs. Zhang mean by hitting the snake seven inches?
It wasn't until the next day that Madam Zhang took her into the palace to meet the Queen.
Both she and the Empress were pregnant, and there were many things to talk about. The Empress was not as inaccessible as she thought. On the contrary, she was very approachable, and she was given many small clothes and toys prepared by the palace for the children.
.
The Queen also said that she is very capable. It is not easy for a woman to do business, but she still persists until now.
She smiled shyly and blushed when she was praised. She didn't know what to say.
Before leaving, the queen asked her to come back to the palace when she had time so that they could talk together.
Guo Ting nodded, but felt a little uneasy. After all, she was not very clear about the rules in the palace.
Mrs. Zhang stepped forward to relieve the siege and said: "When the Queen gives birth to the little prince, you will also give birth to the child in your belly. The two children are born in one year. From now on, they will often come to the palace so that the little prince can have a companion."
Jiang Qing said: "I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but children can play together regardless of these things."
Mrs. Zhang said: "Yes, boys and girls are their own flesh and blood, and they both feel the same pain."
"Back then, Duke Fuguo and his wife had no sons, but they loved their three daughters very much. They also urged them to read and read, hoping that when they grow up, they can distinguish right from wrong and not be deceived by villains."
"The eldest daughter and the second daughter are fine. I haven't heard of them being spoiled or doing anything wrong. Who knew that the third daughter was..."
The ladies in the back house can't hide things in the capital, let alone the empress in the palace.
Jiang Qing quickly understood Mrs. Zhang's intention and said, "I have also heard about the incident at the Marquis Wu Jing's Mansion. Mrs. Mei is indeed shameful. She has lost her dignity and even caused injustice to your granddaughter-in-law.
"
"Later, I will issue an order to reprimand her. It can be considered as venting my anger for you, my granddaughter-in-law. How about that?"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Thank you, Queen, for being considerate of me, an old woman who protects her calf, and running into the palace to complain like this. This is my first time.
Jiang Qing said with a smile: "The old lady is serious. She has been wronged and that is what she should say. Otherwise, if everyone just indulges her, there will always be a time when she does something evil, and by then it will be too late."
Mrs. Zhang wiped her tears, nodded with emotion, and sighed: "If her mother was still in the capital, my old lady would go to her mother to complain. After all, she is the one I watched grow up. Really
I never thought it would turn out like this.”
Jiang Qing said: "Yes, I really didn't expect it. But the Fuguo Duke and his wife were really kind to her. Who would have thought that she would let her down like this?"
"Old madam, don't worry too much. Go back and have a good rest. The emperor and I will be there for everything!"
Madam Zhang nodded, with a moved expression on her face, and quickly pulled Guo Ting to leave.
On the way out of the palace, Guo Ting tried to speak several times but held back. It was not until she returned to Duke Xu's mansion that Mrs. Zhang said: "When the emperor ascended the throne, the ministers were all guessing who would take the queen's position?"
"The emperor's maternal grandfather's family, the Jiang family, the Grand Master's residence, and the Mei family. Anyway, this girl is of the right age. They both also went to Lu Yunhong's residence for a short stay, and both were approved by Her Royal Highness the Princess. It's just that
No one thought that since the emperor chose no one, their marriage was naturally put on hold."
"Later, Mei Min's marriage took a turn for the worse, and she was actually assigned to Li Jin! But the Queen took a turn for the worse and entered the palace."
"If there is anyone who Mei Min is most afraid of, it is none other than the Queen. Moreover, Mei Min still looks arrogant until now, which shows that she does not recognize her current identity, which is why she dares to
The reason why she went to destroy the shop and dared to go back to Duke Fu's palace to cause a scene. But she could win over Mei Xinjue, not take our Duke Xu's attention seriously, and even walk sideways in the capital. But as long as the Queen Mother said so.
In a word, it was as if her life was being strangled and she couldn't move."
"Even so, I feel ashamed and angry to death!"
Guo Ting could not have imagined that there were such connections, let alone Mrs. Zhang’s analysis of the problem so thoroughly!
She gave Mrs. Zhang a thumbs up and sat next to her, silent for a long time.
Mrs. Zhang touched her little head lovingly, and then said: "Human, it is not terrible to accept your fate, and it is not impossible to recognize the reality. But do not force yourself, it is not possible to chase the ducks, chase yourself
Wouldn’t it be hopelessly stupid to take a dead end?”
"If Mei Min had recognized the reality and could not be a queen but could be a marquise, how could she have made so many jokes? Her mother was so angry that she left the capital!"
"In fact, it's not too late for her to recognize the reality now. To apologize to Mei Xinjue, the sister and brother support each other in the capital. Who dares to underestimate her? She can't be adopted from birth. Anyway, it's in her own name, and
He is the legitimate mother, who dares to say that he is not her child?"
"I urge my husband to forge ahead, but it's really hard to support him. After divorce, I have so much dowry, am I still afraid that I will starve to death?"
"Look, there are so many flat roads in front of her, but she runs towards the cliffs without giving up. Who can blame her?"
"You can be stupid for a while, but you can't be stupid for a lifetime. You must understand at any time that others may not value you so much. If you lose yourself because of other people's eyes and embark on a road of no return, it is foolish and you deserve it.
No need to sympathize!”
Guo Ting nodded as if she had been taught something. Although her mood was complicated, her mood was clear.
She hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm and said, "With my grandmother here, I won't have to worry about going astray in my life."
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "You and Xu Xiao are both smart children. Even if you go wrong for a moment, you will find your way back."
"Grandma has never worried about you. Grandma just hopes that you will live a good life and be more considerate and tolerant to each other. You must know that people outside have done wrong, and you will not beat them to death with a stick. If you want to leave a chance, then give
Shouldn’t the people closest to me be more tolerant and understanding?"
"My grandmother has spent most of her life and has seen many couples break up and get back together. Some of them can really get back together, but some have regrets for the rest of their lives. Don't wait until you lose them before you talk about regrets. That is the most useless thing."
Guo Ting nodded repeatedly and said that she and Xu Xiao would not become like that.
Mrs. Zhang also smiled with relief on her face, without any worry in her eyes. She seemed very confident in their relationship. The reason why she talked so much was because of her feelings.
When Guo Ting returned to her room, she was still shocked, but she was also very happy.
She also took the initiative to lean into Xu Xiao's arms when she was sleeping, which made Xu Xiao couldn't help but chuckle and asked her if she had gone to the palace to complain today. Would the Queen make the decision for her?
Guo Ting didn't show any pretense, she nodded and said, "That's right."
"The Queen is very nice, and so is my grandmother. They are both good people. I will no longer have to worry about what others think of me. Because even the Queen and my grandmother praise me for my abilities!"
Xu Xiao smiled and said: "You are already very capable!"
Guo Ting hummed softly, raised her chin slightly, and arched her head in Xu Xiao's arms.
She said arrogantly: "You said this to coax me, it's totally different!"
