Although Mrs. Meng was reluctant, she could not withstand the urgings of the Queen Mother and Mrs. Ningyuan Hou, so she finally took Meng Duiwan into the palace.
On the day she entered the palace, Mrs. Meng went out late. When she entered the palace, she happened to meet the courtiers who were leaving the court. Mrs. Meng did not shy away and took Meng Duiwan directly to the palace gate.
By coincidence, they bumped into Su Xubai who was going down to court. He stood there and watched Meng Duiwan lowering his head and following Mrs. Meng. Almost subconsciously, he thought
He was about to step forward, but Xu Ziqing, who had quick eyes and quick hands, held his hand: "That's a girl from the Meng family, don't mess around!"
Su Xubai gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time.
When Meng Duiwan passed by Su Xubai, he saw the shoes on his feet. The shoes were a little worn, and he knew at a glance that they were the shoes she had made for him before.
Almost subconsciously, when passing by Su Xubai, he reached out his hand to her, but the next moment, he was held down tightly by Xu Ziqing.
Meng Duiwan raised his head and glanced at Su Xubai, just glanced at it, and then left without looking back.
Mrs. Meng was leading the way. As soon as she walked into the palace gate, she was greeted by the Queen Mother's attendants. Su Xubai watched her get on the chariot and slowly go away.
He waited until the people were far away before Xu Ziqing said, "Everyone is gone, how long are you going to keep watching here?"
Su Xubai lowered his head and said after a long time: "Go back!"
Xu Ziqing looked at Su Xubai's slightly slumped shoulders and comforted her softly: "I have already given up on you, and you should be her legitimate daughter of Yongchang Hou Mansion. You still can't let go. Is it possible that you are not as open-minded as a woman?"
Already?"
"Open-minded? What's the use of being open-minded!" Su Xubai looked at Xu Ziqing and let out a long sigh, "I was the one who failed her, and she should let it go, but it's me, so what qualifications do I have to let it go?"
"Is it possible that you have to carry this so-called pain and live in pain for the rest of your life?" Xu Ziqing raised his eyebrows.
"Who knows!" Su Xubai smiled bitterly, turned and left.
Meng Duiwan followed Mrs. Meng into the palace. Because of her nervousness, her hands were a little cold.
After becoming the harem, the grandfather and grandson got out of the chariot and walked slowly inside the palace.
Mrs. Meng held her hand: "The Queen Mother is a kind person, you don't need to be too nervous!"
Meng Duiwan looked up at Mrs. Meng, inevitably a little flustered: "Grandma..."
"Keep your head up and your chest up. We, the immortals, have fought hard on the battlefield and fought with our lives. Isn't that why our juniors can live up their lives with their heads up and up? Keep your head up and follow your grandmother. No one in this world dares to give me
My precious granddaughter has been wronged!" Mrs. Meng was getting stronger and stronger, and she was also full of energy when she spoke.
"Yes, with your grandmother here, who dares to make you suffer!" From a distance, a dignified old lady walked towards Mrs. Meng and the others.
Mrs. Meng looked at the old lady in front of her, laughed, and then stepped forward to hold her hand: "Sister-in-law came very early today! If sister-in-law didn't insist on letting me come, I would not be willing to leave today!
"
"What a temper you have!" Mrs. Xu patted Mrs. Meng's hand, then looked at Meng Duiwan, her eyes lit up, "This, this is your little granddaughter!"
Mrs. Meng nodded: "Yes, just call her Wanwan!"
"Of course I remember her name!" Mrs. Xu patted Mrs. Meng with some disgust, then walked up to Meng Duiwan, took her hand and looked at her carefully, "You girl, and your young
At that time, he was literally carved out of the same mold! He was exactly the same as you!"
"Don't you look at whose granddaughter it is!" Mrs. Meng laughed, "How about it, she's pretty!"
"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Mrs. Xu smiled.
"Wanwan, this is Mrs. Ningyuanhou, she is also Princess Zhengyang, and she is your great-aunt!" Mrs. Meng said to Meng Duiwan.
Meng Duiwan had heard about Forsythia before he came, so he didn't feel very surprised, so he called out obediently: "Great uncle!"
Mrs. Xu smiled, then took Mrs. Meng and Meng Duiwan's hands and walked towards the Queen Mother's Palace.
As soon as they arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, the nun beside the Queen Mother hurriedly came to greet her: "The old lady is here. The Queen Mother has asked her at least hundreds of times since early in the morning!"
"I have old arms and legs, so I naturally walk slower!" Mrs. Meng smiled, then walked up to the Queen Mother and saluted, "I would like to pay my regards to the Queen Mother..."
"Get up, get up!" The Queen Mother hurriedly walked to Mrs. Meng and helped her up, "Didn't I forgive you a long time ago? You have old injuries on your knees. You will suffer if they relapse.
of!"
"I'm sorry that the Queen Mother still remembers this in her heart!" Mrs. Meng said in a nonchalant manner, obviously angry.
Seeing Mrs. Meng's appearance, the Queen Mother had no choice, so she asked someone to bring a stool over. She also looked at Meng Duiwan and said, "Nanny, we are old and like to drink strong tea. Let me serve you some scented tea.
Bar!"
Meng Duiwan was flattered and naturally agreed quickly.
Perhaps it was because the Queen Mother called Meng Duiwan so affectionately that Mrs. Meng calmed down a bit. She glanced at the Queen Mother and then said, "I want to eat the walnut cakes from the Queen Mother's palace!"
"Oh, I have prepared it for you a long time ago. I made it myself!" The Queen Mother immediately smiled.
Mrs. Xu on the side couldn't help but laugh: "You are the only one who is so convinced that the Queen Mother can personally cook walnut cakes for you!"
"Aren't you the same, and you specifically talk about me!" Mrs. Meng snorted.
The Queen Mother was amused by Mrs. Meng, and then she couldn't help but said: "You, I don't know about this either. As soon as I found out, I immediately ordered the emperor to exempt the Su family from thanking you, and also summoned you into the palace.
I’m just making a face for your precious granddaughter, but you’re not willing to come even after urging me to come. If my sister hadn’t been lobbying for me, I don’t know how long it would take for you to get rid of your bad temper!”
"It's not like the Queen Mother didn't know that I gave birth to three sons and one daughter, but my life was miserable. With so many sons, I gave birth to such a best friend, and it was easy to raise her to the age of seven or eight, but she was about to lose it.
It took so many years to find her. Once she was found, she knew she had suffered so much. If it were you, wouldn't you be angry?" Mrs. Meng let out a long sigh.
The Queen Mother looked back at Meng Duiwan who was sitting in the corner. She had handsome features and looked very similar to Mrs. Meng when she was young. However, compared to Mrs. Meng at that time, she was a little more gentle and demure. After all,
Mrs. Meng back then was well-known as a wild girl!
"Your name is Wanwan, right?" The Queen Mother waved to Meng Duiwan.
Meng Duiwan paused, then walked to the Queen Mother: "Back to the Queen Mother, my name is Wanwan!"
"I hugged you when you were little! You were just a little older at that time, but you were very brave. You laughed at everyone you saw!" The Queen Mother looked at Meng Duiwan for a long time, "I didn't expect to see you again.
You’ve already grown so big by the time you arrive!”
Meng Duiwan looked at the amiable Queen Mother in front of her, and felt inexplicably friendly. However, because she was the Queen Mother, she did not dare to step forward, so she just looked at the Queen Mother in front of her.
"What, does it look familiar?" The Queen Mother looked at Meng Duiwan and asked with a smile.
Meng Duiwan shook his head: "I just feel that the Queen Mother is very kind!"
The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile: "Has anyone told you that you are very similar to your grandmother?"
Meng nodded to Wan: "That's what the elders said, saying that my grandmother and I are very similar, as if we were carved from the same mold!"
"They are really similar, but you don't seem to be as open-minded as your grandmother. Your grandmother was really fearless when she was young. You don't seem as pampered as her!" The Queen Mother gently stroked Meng Duiwan.
Cheeks, "You have suffered a lot these years living outside, right?"
Meng Duiwan paused and did not answer.
The Queen Mother smiled: "Only girls who have been raised pampered will become pampered. Only girls who have to learn many things from an early age will become particularly timid and sensible."
Listening to the Queen Mother's words, Meng Duiwan unconsciously blushed slightly, lowered his head and looked at his sleeves, and did not speak for a long time.
