It happened to rain on the day Meng Duiwan returned to Beijing, and the temperature dropped sharply. The Yongchang Marquis Mansion personally came to welcome Meng Lingjing, and General Meng personally sent her back to Beijing.
The news that the lost daughter of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion had been found has spread throughout the capital in the past half year. Today, the news that the legitimate daughter of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion has returned to Beijing has long been known to everyone. Even the emperor couldn't bear it.
Out of curiosity, she sent her internal officials to greet her. Suddenly, the direct daughter of the Meng family was in the limelight.
I don't know if Meng Lingjing had planned the date, or if it was just a coincidence that the day she returned to Beijing happened to be the day when the Marquis of Wuchang got married.
When Meng Duiwan entered the city gate, it was also the time when Hao Jiaojiao went out.
Because everyone in the capital wanted to see what the daughter who had been lost for many years looked like now, many people came from the Hao family's wedding banquet, so that when Hao Jiaojiao went out, she even
There were not many people guarding there anymore, but on the contrary, many people gathered at the city gate.
When we set off this morning, Forsythia even specially prepared a red riding outfit. Although Meng Duiwan was surprised, she didn't think much about it at the time because Meng Lingjing said she looked good in red, so she made a lot of red outfits for her.
She often wears red clothes on weekdays, so she doesn't think much about it.
When Meng Duiwan and his party entered the city gate, it was almost evening. There were many hawkers and farmers at the city gate who were leaving the city to go home. In such a noisy environment, the emperor's valet, Eunuch Fan, brought
A group of palace people have been waiting here for a long time.
The Marquis of Yongchang saw Eunuch Fan as soon as he arrived and hurried forward: "Why are you here, Eunuch!"
"Didn't our family obey His Majesty's order to welcome him and see what the Marquis's legitimate daughter looks like now?" Eunuch Fan said with a smile, "Your Majesty's temper, the Marquis still has.
Don’t you know? If the Queen Mother and the Queen hadn’t come here, Your Majesty would have wished to see this excitement in person!”
"It's really hard for my father-in-law to make this trip!" Marquis Yongchang said quickly, "After my daughter settles down in the capital, I will definitely take her to the palace to express my gratitude!"
Eunuch Fan was naturally very polite.
When the two arrived at the same time, Meng Duiwan and his party had already entered the city gate. Mrs. Meng was really happy and kept waving to Meng Duiwan: "Wanwan, Wanwan!"
"May I ask if the person riding the chariot is Meng Duiwan, the daughter of Yongchang Marquis Meng Yicheng?" As the emperor's personal steward, Eunuch Fan has been waiting here for a long time, and his attitude is so humble. This alone is enough to tell that the emperor
How much they value Yongchang Houfu.
Vendors coming and going, seeing such a humble man over fifty years old and well-dressed, couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.
Meng Duiwan turned over and dismounted, looked at the person in front of him, raised his head slightly, and revealed a pretty face: "That's right, little girl!"
Because it was dusk and Eunuch Fan was standing with his back to the light, he couldn't see clearly Meng Duiwan's appearance. He only felt that the sound of "yes" was as beautiful as the song of an oriole. Even though he was just a chamberlain, he couldn't help but feel a little confused in his heart.
Trembling, but after all, he is the emperor's chamberlain, so this is certain: "Old slave Fan Zheng is here to wait for you on the orders of the Lord!"
Before Meng Duiwan could react, Meng Lingjing quickly jumped off the carriage and walked quickly to Fan Zheng: "How dare you bother Eunuch Fan to come and greet you."
When Meng Duiwan saw Meng Lingjing acting like this, he quickly took a step back with respect on his face.
"Your Majesty loves to watch the excitement. He will send this old slave to you no matter what!" Fan Zheng said with a smile, his eyes falling directly on Meng Duiwan behind Meng Lingjing, "Is this the legitimate daughter of Yongchang Hou?"
"Yes, this is my daughter!" Meng Yicheng stepped forward with a smile on his face.
It wasn't until Meng Yicheng pulled Meng Duiwan to stand in front of him that Fan Zheng saw Meng Duiwan's appearance clearly. Her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to her father's, and her eyes were sparkling, as if the stars in the sky were shattered in her eyes.
Sure enough, as people say, Meng Yicheng's daughter is even more beautiful than her mother.
"The journey is difficult. Your Majesty feels sorry for the girl's hard journey, so she asked the old slave to come and greet her!" Fan Zheng hurriedly withdrew his gaze and bowed his head respectfully.
"Thank you, Eunuch Fan, for coming all the way. We have a family banquet at our house. Why don't we send someone back to tell His Majesty that Eunuch-in-law will come back with us and have a home-cooked meal with us!" Meng Yicheng looked at Fan Zheng,
Said with a smile.
"Then since it's a family banquet at your house, I'm afraid you might feel uncomfortable as an outsider here, so we won't go there..."
"If you want it, our old lady specially opened the wine she brewed a few years ago today. Eunuch Fan will bring some back to the Queen Mother!" Meng Yicheng said quickly.
Fan Zheng paused, then smiled and said: "Since Mr. Marquis's kindness is hard to refuse, our family will not refuse. After all, the Queen Mother has been talking about the wine made by this old lady for a long time!"
Now that it was settled, the group of people walked back vigorously, but unfortunately, they happened to bump into the team returning to welcome the bride.
Under normal circumstances, everyone would give way when there is a happy event. After all, there is no need to bring trouble to someone else's happy event, but it happened to be the Su family. From a distance, Su Xubai saw Meng Shaoqing riding a horse.
During this period, Meng Shaoqing would target him from time to time. Whether in court or in private, she would always quarrel with him. If Xu Ziqing said a word to him, Meng Shaoqing would even scold Xu Ziqing together, back and forth.
, the three of them didn’t move around as much as before.
There was a happy event for the Su family, so naturally they sent a message to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, but no one came. Mrs. Su racked her brains to think for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out how they had offended the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
The wedding team was walking in front. Meng Shaoqing walked forward impartially and without any intention of giving way. Su Xuwei, who was accompanying him to welcome the bride, naturally saw it and he hurried forward: "
Prince Meng, we are the wedding team, please give way!"
"Today is the first time my sister has returned to the capital. It is also a happy event for our family. We can't let it go!" Meng Shaoqing laughed, but his eyes were fixed on Su Xubai not far away from beginning to end.
Su Xubai paused and had to say: "Prince Meng, don't embarrass us. The wedding team can't turn back. Please give way, Prince Meng!"
"What a good bride-grooming team that never turns back!" Meng Shaoqing sneered, "But I won't give way today. You are the ones who care about my shit. My sister is going home for the first time today. I can't give way to others!"
"Meng Shaoqing, you should understand that this marriage is not decided by the two of us!" Su Xubai was helpless. He was unwilling to argue with Meng Shaoqing, but he was the groom after all, so he gave in.
, is this Su family’s joke.
"Go up to heaven and listen, go up to heaven and listen. Even if your majesty hits me, I won't let it go today. The bad thing is that there are so many good days, and you have to choose today. There are so many good moments.
You must choose now." Meng Shaoqing snorted coldly, "Your marriage will be heard by Da Tian, and your Majesty will personally send someone to greet my sister when she returns to Beijing. If you feel dissatisfied, you can go to your Majesty to complain!"
Su Xubai only felt that his head was heavy. This marriage had already upset him. He wanted to throw away the bowl of tea from his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he changed his mind and finally came back, but was stopped by Meng Shaoqing again.
Su Xuwei saw that there seemed to be an elder behind Meng Shaoqing. When he was about to speak, he heard a soft voice: "Brother!"
Su Xubai's team slowly moved aside, and a girl rode forward slowly. The sun set in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on the girl's body with sparkling light.
She just walked forward slowly, wearing a red dress and riding a tall horse, with a bit of softness in her heroic demeanor.
Meng Duiwan faced the light, and Su Xubai tilted his head slightly. He always felt that the person in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't tell who it was.
"This is a big happy event, let's give in!" Meng Duiwan's voice was soft and soft, but there was a hint of sobriety.
"Okay, my sister has spoken, and I will let you do it this time!" Meng Shaoqing snorted coldly.
At this moment, Meng Duiwan turned around and walked back, and the light happened to fall on her face. Su Xubai looked at it and suddenly shouted: "A Chun!"
