The beauty of the Hou family and the king's plan

"Let's not talk about whether Your Majesty wants to select a concubine or not. Even if my sister enters the palace, why should the Princess's Mansion support her? And why must Duan Ning oppose the Queen?"

Mei Qianhe didn't care whether Mei Ruolan was going to enter the palace or not. He had the righteousness of the world and the people's livelihood in his heart. He didn't care about the struggles in the harem and didn't want to care.

But his mother actually used Duan Ning as a means to threaten the Princess's Mansion in order to pave the way for his sister.

It's so ridiculous!

Mei Qianhe stood with his hands behind his back, lowered his head slightly and looked at Mrs. Mei who was still sitting upright.

His voice was emotionless, and he said coldly, "There is a mansion that the county lady brought as a dowry not far from the Mei Mansion. Tomorrow my son will take the county lady to move out."

"You dare!" Mrs. Mei started coughing in anger.

Mei Qianhe ignored her threats and shouts behind him and turned around and walked out of the yard.

Without stopping, he pulled a horse from the stable, walked out of the mansion and headed straight for the Princess's Mansion.

'Bang bang...' The sound of the night watchman's gong is particularly loud in the silent night.

At the hour of Hai, Mei Qianhe arrived at the princess's residence and knocked on the door.

The doorman of the Princess's Mansion rubbed his sleepy eyes and opened the door cursing in his heart.

When he saw that it was his son-in-law, he naturally did not dare to neglect him and directly invited him into the house.

Today, the lights in the Princess's mansion were also bright. The Princess heard that her husband had come to pick up the Princess, so she didn't want to pay any attention to Mei Qianhe.

But seeing that his daughter seemed to want to say something but hesitated and wanted to beg for mercy but didn't dare, he had to wave his hand and ask someone to invite Mei Qianhe in.

When Mei Qianhe saw Duan Ning, who had been scolded for several hours and was looking at him with a wronged look on his face, his heart ached for no reason.

I don’t know what the masters in the Princess’s Mansion talked about late into the night.

Anyway, when the news reached the palace, Shen Baozhao heard Luoxia's vivid and exaggerated description, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"You didn't see it, madam. The princess had ten carts of things prepared overnight, and sent them to the gate of the Mei Mansion when there were the most people in the market.

I selected several good-tongued maids and told them as they walked around that the princess felt sorry for the county lady who was not well fed and clothed in the Mei Mansion, so she went to deliver supplies to the Mei Mansion."

"The ignorant common people all praised the princess for being good to her in-laws. Mei Hanlin was blessed in his previous life to marry the county lady as his granddaughter-in-law.

It is said that Mrs. Mei was so angry that her face was twisted, and she was so ashamed that she never came out of the mansion again. "

The setting sun was as vivid as if she was telling a story, making everyone in Kunning Palace smile.

Shen Baozhao felt that the eldest princess's move was really smart. She used an open strategy to tear off the face of the Mei family.

The Mei family prides themselves on being noble and elegant, and have been passing down poetry and literature for a hundred years. They are also one of the most famous aristocratic families in Kyoto.

If the Mei family can't get enough food and warm clothes, I'm afraid many officials in Kyoto will have to go out to beg for food.

After hearing about what happened today, I wonder how the powerful and influential people will make fun of the Mei family in private.

Shen Baozhao felt that Mrs. Mei probably wouldn't dare to attend any banquets for a while.

"What are you laughing at? You look so happy." As soon as Xiao Yuanhuai stepped into Kunning Palace, he heard cheerful laughter from all over the palace, and his mood also became cheerful.

Shen Baozhao had a faint smile on his face, and his small dimples were like a tender white pear blossom. "Are you talking about the Mei Mansion?"

Xiao Yuanhuai had just left court when Mei Qianhe took the initiative to tell him what happened yesterday.

He stayed at the Princess's residence last night and asked for a day off today, saying that he was moving with Duan Ning. He was afraid of what others said about Duan Ning behind her back.

He wanted to ask for mercy from Xiao Yuanhuai and asked Shen Baozhao to invite Madam Mei to the palace to give her a few words, and then tell the outside world that Duan Ning and Madam Mei were in conflict and that they needed to live in another palace to live in peace.

Seeing that Mei Qianhe looked depressed, Xiao Yuanhuai agreed.

"Zhao Zhao, thank you for your hard work."

Shen Baozhao didn't think anything of it. She didn't want to interfere because she was afraid that Mei Qianhe would think that Duan Ning was relying on their friendship to make things difficult for his family.

But it is very different if Mei Qianhe comes to the door on his own initiative. It can not only make Duan Ning feel comfortable, but also alienate the Mei family and Mei Qianhe, killing two birds with one stone.

She did not forget that Mei Hanlin was too selfish and refused to hand over the will.

What's more, it is hard to say whether Mei Hanlin was involved in her death in her previous life.

This was exactly what she wanted.

Shen Baozhao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then instructed Bixiao, "Have the Princess and Madam Mei come to the palace to meet the Emperor tomorrow."

There were many things she couldn't say, but the eldest princess, as her relative, was very easy to talk to.

The next morning, the eldest princess arrived in a carriage.

As soon as he arrived, he bowed deeply to Shen Baozhao, "Thank you, Queen."

The eldest princess sat aside, stroking her chest and sighing, "Fortunately, the Queen sent someone to tell me the whole story yesterday. Otherwise, I don't know what kind of life Duan Ning has been living during this period!"

"It's Duan Ning's fault. The girl didn't want to cause you trouble, so it's delayed until now. Fortunately, it's still in time." Shen Baozhao comforted.

The princess felt the same way. She originally thought that the Mei family was full of scholars and should be more disciplined. Mei Qianhe was also young and promising, and she had deep feelings for Duan Ning, so it was a good match.

But who would have thought that no one in the Mei family was as knowledgeable and rule-abiding as one might think, and that they actually allowed their elders to humiliate the younger ones.

When Mrs. Mei comes later, she will ask her who gave her the courage to do such a thing.

Shen Baozhao accompanied the eldest princess and drank two cups of tea, but unexpectedly, the palace maids in Kunning Palace reported that someone from the Mei Mansion said that Madam Mei was too ill to get up.

Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I will come to the palace to apologize when I get better.

Shen Baozhao didn't mind what he heard. Since Mrs. Mei treated Duan Ning so harshly, she must not take him seriously.

That’s right, Madam Mei is Xiao Yuanhuai’s legitimate aunt. With the Mei family as her backing, what does she have to be afraid of?

This shows that he is certain that he can't do anything to her!

The princess was so angry that she at least took into consideration that this happened in Kunning Palace. If it had been in the princess's residence, the teacup in her hand might have fallen to the ground.

Her brows were furrowed. She had originally planned to have a good argument with Mrs. Mei, but who would have thought that she would simply cut off the source of the problem and not come.

It was like a punch hitting cotton, making people feel suffocated and panic.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" The eldest princess was suddenly at a loss.

Shen Baozhao smiled, revealing an unfathomable expression, and called Bixiao over to give him instructions.

“Send someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite Director Zeng, and tell him that I heard that Madam Mei is seriously ill and can’t get up, so I want the imperial physician to come and take a look.

Take a few hundred-year-old ginsengs from my storehouse. Since he is so seriously ill, he must need them."

"Oh, and one more thing. Hanlin Mei is old, so your Majesty is worried about his health. Please also ask Envoy Zeng to check his pulse to reassure your Majesty."

Bixiao took the order and left.

The princess suddenly realized, what a good idea! You can tell whether it is a mule or a horse by just checking it out.
