After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

In Changchun Palace, Meng Qianqian met the emperor's biological mother, Concubine Li.

Concubine Li was wearing a goose yellow palace dress and an eight-tailed red gold phoenix hairpin. With this outfit, she was only one step away from being the queen.

Meng Qianqian lowered her eyes and did not look directly at the imperial concubine's face. She knelt down with Banxia to pay her respects.

Green Radish couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so beautiful!"

This was not because she was trying to please Concubine Li, but because she was truly amazed by her beauty. Even though she gave birth to a princess and a young emperor, the years did not leave many traces on her face.

Her beauty is hard to describe. One glance at her can captivate the whole city, and another glance at her can captivate the whole country. It is no exaggeration to say that she has an immortal appearance.

After hearing what Luluo said, Lin Wan'er subconsciously looked up at Concubine Li.

"Be bold!"

The female official beside Concubine Li sneered.

Lin Wan'er's face changed slightly. Luluo didn't know what she had done wrong and her face turned pale with fright.

Eunuch Wang sighed secretly. The daughter of a general who came from the border was not as well-mannered as a merchant girl. Can you guys desecrate the appearance of the imperial concubine?

Lin Wan'er glanced at Meng Qianqian, who was kneeling on the ground calmly and composedly, and hurriedly knelt down and also performed the ceremony of kneeling and bowing.

With Meng Qianqian's example before her, even though she tried to imitate her, she was still not dignified enough.

It’s strange to say, Meng Qianqian was just a merchant girl, but her every move and gesture were like that of a real noble lady from aristocratic family.

Imperial Concubine Li's eyes swept across Meng Qianqian with an indecipherable meaning, and fell on Lin Wan'er, who was obviously not very polite. She smiled gently and said, "Although I come from a scholarly family, in my heart, I respect the soldiers of the Great Zhou who defend the country and protect the people the most. I didn't like to learn these red tape when I was a child. Miss Lin and Madam Lu, please be on equal terms!"

She actually put Lin Wan'er before Meng Qianqian, not to mention her words deliberately praising Lin Wan'er.

So what if you are decent? In the palace, what matters is not your words and deeds, but the favor of the imperial concubine.

Lin Wan'er suddenly felt confident.

Meng Qianqian said: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine."

She folded her hands in front of her forehead, bowed again, and then stood up with Banxia's help.

Lin Wan'er was also helped up by Luluo.

"sit."

Concubine Li said with a smile.

Meng Qianqian naturally sat at the lower seat.

Lin Wan'er walked over and sat next to her.

Green ivy sneaks a peek at Pinellia ternata, and stands wherever Pinellia ternata stands.

Concubine Li smiled and said, "I called you here today because of General Lu. You are both General Lu's wise wives, and General Lu is the emperor's confidant, so I will not treat you as outsiders. General Lu made great contributions at the border, and was appointed as the third-rank Zhenbei General by the emperor when he returned to the court. But not long ago, General Lu was impeached by the censor, and not only was he demoted to a lower rank, but I heard he was also beaten with 300 military sticks."

As she spoke, Concubine Li sighed deeply, "After hearing about this, I feel very uncomfortable. General Lu fought in battles and saved the people. How many people in this dynasty can compare to him in terms of his merits? But someone just made a big fuss about his harem. In order to prevent General Lu from being burdened by his harem in the future, I would like to hear your opinions."

Meng Qianqian didn't say anything.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Wan'er also lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Concubine Li said, "Miss Lin is the descendant of a loyal hero. Her father and brother saved General Lu's life and entrusted him to her before he died. General Lu is a man of integrity and he and Miss Lin are also a good story at the border. Why don't I make the decision today and give Miss Lin a status? What do you two think?"

Lin Wan'er's eyes moved slightly and she made some sign language.

Green Rose said hurriedly: "My daughter said, it's up to the Queen to decide!"

Concubine Li smiled and looked at Meng Qianqian: "Madam Lu, I guess you have no objection, right?"

Meng Qianqian asked: "I wonder what status the Imperial Concubine wants to give Miss Lin? Is it a noble concubine, a good concubine, or a lowly concubine?"

Concubine Li's smile faded: "Of course it's the concubine!"

Meng Qianqian said: "A concubine's position is the same as a co-wife. Does the Imperial Concubine want to arrange a marriage?"

Concubine Li said, "So what?"

Meng Qianqian stood up and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "If the Imperial Concubine wants to grant me a concubine, any number of Miss Lins will do, but only the Emperor and Empress can arrange marriages. If Miss Lin wants to become my husband's concubine, she must either get my consent and marry him in a formal ceremony, or ask the Emperor and Empress to issue an order personally!"

Concubine Li slapped the table and said, "How dare you! Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"

Meng Qianqian's words undoubtedly hit Concubine Li's sore spot. She hated it most when others said that she was not as good as the Queen!

Concubine Li said coldly: "The Queen has no children, and the current emperor is my son. Do you think I can't get an imperial decree to grant the marriage?"

Meng Qianqian: "Your Majesty, please issue an order."

Concubine Li: "You——"

Ridiculous! How could the emperor issue such an order? Isn't he just waiting to be cursed by the world?

Concubine Li looked at Meng Qianqian coldly: "The plum blossoms in my palace are blooming. They were planted for me by the Emperor himself when I was made a concubine. They are full moon."

"The servant is here."

"Take Madam Lu to appreciate the plum blossoms, kneel down and appreciate them!"

"Yes."

Meng Qianqian knelt on the cold, hard bluestone slab.

Banxia knelt down together.

Imperial Concubine Li was half-leaning on the imperial concubine couch, holding a hot water bottle in her arms, and looking at her cardamom-stained nails leisurely: "Open the door, I want to smell the fragrance of plum blossoms too."

The ventilation door of the palace was opened, and the cold wind of December blew into the courtyard.

Soon, heavy snow began to fall from the sky, landing inch by inch on Meng Qianqian's hair, shoulders, and eyebrows. Soon, even her long eyelashes were covered with snowflakes.

Banxia was so heartbroken that she burst into tears. It was just right that she got caught in the rain last time, and this time she was punished to kneel in the snow again.

Meng Qianqian knelt in the snow with her back straight, her body full of pride, as strong as a pine tree or a bamboo.

Concubine Li snorted coldly: "I'll see how long she can be so stubborn!"

Teeth line.

Tan Er got the account book and prepared to go back to the Lu family. When she pushed the door open, she saw the sky full of snow and exclaimed, "It's snowing! Such heavy snow!"

Her eyes were sparkling, and just as she was about to jump out to play in the snow, a bare hand grabbed her in time and dragged her to the backyard.

"Shi Niang, what are you doing?"

Tan Er asked with her hands on her hips.

"Hush, keep your voice down!" Shi Niang pulled her to hide behind a pillar and stole a glance at a group of people passing by the lobby. "Go through the back door, don't let those people see you!"

"Which people?" Tan'er asked.

Shi Niang said: "People from Wanhua Tower!"

Tan Er frowned: "Those cowards? I'm going to beat them up!"

Shi Niang covered her mouth and said, "The people at Wanhualou want to buy you. If Mother Zhichun sells you to someone else, we won't have to do our business anymore. It's not easy for sisters to become good women. Just consider it as my plea to you and go out through the back door!"

Tan Er took her hand away and said, "Okay."

After returning to the Lu family, Tan'er heard Li Mama say that Meng Qianqian had entered the palace, and she turned around and left: "Let's go find my sister!"

"Hey, Tan'er, come back——"

Tan'er has gone far away.

Madam Li sighed, "This girl."

Wu Ge'er was called by Manager Liu to work, and Tan'er lost her carriage.

"Do you know where the palace is?"

"How do I get around the palace?"

"Have you ever entered the palace in reverse?"

Tan'er braved the heavy snow and asked questions all the way. She was given many cold stares and lied to many people, but she finally arrived at the palace.

She bent down, held her legs, and gasped for breath: "I'm so tired, so tired!"
