Chapter 337 Ding Meier's Tangle
The hall became lively and bustling.
"Ah? No?", "This is the case", "It's just to soak the pig cage"...
Concubine Li Murong Ziyan lowered her head and cried. No one could see the sadness in her eyes: her father can finally be buried.
However, some people soon asked questions:
"No, isn't it said that he is still a little girl? How can he kill someone?" "No? Everyone says that Mr. Murong is so happy that he is just recuperating. He won't even be able to kill a 12-year-old girl, right?" "That's right, don't you wrongly accuse someone, right?"
Shu Yao Anle: It seems that Concubine Li’s popularity seems to be not very good.
The Empress Dowager also frowned: "This is the reason. After all, Shangshu Murong is an old minister, and he has done a lot of things for the court for three generations. The Empress sent the Imperial Doctor to take a look. For this matter, I still need to remind the emperor to have someone check it out and not let the real murderer go."
In fact, the empress dowager is just a storefront. She said that she really doesn’t have much affection for Murong’s mansion and Concubine Li. However, no matter what, Murong Shangshu is the grandfather of the Sixth Princess and the Ninth Prince, so she always has to express her feelings.
However, her "cause of casual talk" scared Concubine Li, and she quickly choked up and said, "My brothers have already confirmed that it was my niece-in-law Zhen's dissatisfied with the Zhen family's marriage to Shi'er, and believed that this was all caused by my father's official position. When serving her father, she was absent-minded and mistakenly placed the medicine prepared for rat-killing medicine in the kitchen and put it into her father's medicine pot. The mother in the kitchen and the maid around Zhen's side all confessed.
A charming voice said, "Cousin, Madam Ying has said so many things in two words?"
Concubine Li looked up and asked the question that it was Yan Concubine Ding Meier, the niece of Xiao Ding. "What does Yan Concubine mean?"
Ding Meier arrived just now. She suffered a cold a few days ago. Her mother and sister came to the palace to visit her today. As soon as they left, she hurried over.
Ding Meier has heard of Xia Shuyao's name for a long time, but she has no chance to see her. She can't come to see the queen mother at any time, and Shuyao often stays in the Cining Palace when she enters the palace. She finally got this opportunity today. She also heard that Shuyao had just been named the princess of "Fuxing". After getting Yiyuan, she naturally rushed over, hoping to have a chance to make friends.
Ding Meier heard her grandmother talk about the various grudges between Xiao Ding and Zhen Zirou and Xia Shuyao and the three siblings of Xia Shuyao. But she thought that it was what "Madam Murong" did and had nothing to do with the Ding family. The hatred and resentment of the three siblings of Shuyao should all be directed towards the Murong family. She is now quite favored by the emperor, and there is no need for the two marquises to regard her as an enemy. Making good friends with her is mutual benefit for both parties.
She met Madam Ying who was rushing to the gate of Cining Palace. She almost followed Madam Ying in, so she naturally saw Madam Ying talking in Concubine Li's ear. At that time, she could only say a few words at most, okay? Is there so much information?
Hearing Concubine Li’s questioning, Ding Meier looked innocent: “What? It’s meaningless? Meier is just curious. How quickly does Madam Ying speak?"
Ding Meier snorted coldly: What does it mean? It means that it is to make you feel unhappy. Why are the wives married by your Murong family so bad? They said that my aunt killed your dragon fetus. The granddaughter-in-law, who has just entered the door, killed your father again? I don’t know who killed whom?
Everyone hadn't paid much attention to it, but when Ding Meier mentioned it, they all thought of it. Yes, Madam Ying came in so anxiously, because they looked at all because of all kinds of "curiosity". How could Madam Ying say so many things in such a few words?
The Empress Dowager and the Queen also looked at Concubine Li, with a clear look of suspicion in their eyes.
Concubine Li's heart was shocked. She responded to what Ding Meier did. She should ignore her. What should I do now?
Concubine Li gritted her teeth: "Laofu, Empress. I have received news from the mansion before coming, but the doctor was still treating him at that time, and my father had not yet died, and my elder brother was still interrogating Zhen and others, so... just now, Madam Ying came in and told me that my father was not saved, and it was indeed the poison caused by Zhen.
Concubine Ma looked surprised: "Oh, knowing that something happened to Mr. Murong, Concubine Li can come over happily to make fun. Sister, your heart is so broad."
"You..." Concubine Li's face was pale, with tears on her face and red eyes, and she looked pitiful. Of course she knew that Ding Meier was dependent on Concubine Ma, and the two of them were working together to run her.
The Empress Dowager waved impatiently: "Okay, okay, good days, don't argue with Ai's house, go whatever you should do. Concubine Li wants to go back to Murong Mansion? Queen, please agree, follow the rules. Girl Yao, let's go to the Imperial Garden."
Shu Yao quickly responded, and with the fourth princess and Princess Yuegui, he hugged the empress dowager and walked out. Concubine Ma and other concubines were not at ease with the carrying of Concubine Li, so they quickly followed him and laughed and joked, as if nothing had happened.
Ding Meier was stunned on the spot. Is Xia Shuyao really her?
Because of the little Ding family, Ding Meier's grandmother and mother did not have the chance to meet Shu Yao. The ladies and ladies in the circle of noble people are all talented people. Those banquets that invited Shu Yao generally do not invite the Ding family. This year's New Year's Eve banquet, the two marquis' mansions did not attend.
However, they were a little worried when they heard about Shu Yao's age and knew that she and Xu Nian'er had handkerchiefs when they grew up together. They were worried that Shu Yao was the girl who had a conflict with Ding Meier for the sake of the jade screen frame and took over Liangzi.
Speaking of that incident, Ding Meier has not yet been favored to that extent, and she is only a concubine, so she is not qualified to say that Xu Nian'er will come to the palace to see her, otherwise she will definitely be summoned to show off to avenge her "revenge" back then.
Ding Meier has a big breast and no brain, and is not smart. However, because of her childhood training, she has a strong ability to recognize and remember people, and she will definitely retaliate against her grudges, so she naturally remembers the appearance of Xu Nianer and Shu Yao.
Although seven or eight years have passed, Shu Yao has grown up and has changed a lot. But the mold is still there, Ding Meier still recognizes the "Yao girl" beside the queen mother at a glance, which is the little girl who was with Xu Nian'er back then.
Ding Meier is sure that Shu Yao already knows who she is. Because she had reported her identity back then, and Shu Yao took her lightly before helping the empress dowager out.
Ding Meier herself is a person with a strong desire for revenge. It is no exaggeration to say that you can remember revenge for the rest of your life. You can judge others by your own heart. Naturally, I believe that Shu Yao also holds a grudge against her, so how can she be good with her? It would be great if you don’t do anything bad!
However, Jin Xida and Xia Shujie can be said to be the emperor's most trusted ministers. Xia Shuyao saved the emperor and made great contributions today. She was named Princess Fuxing. Not to mention that she has not been favored to act coquettishly and make requests at will. Even if she reaches that point, she is afraid that her pillow style will not shake the status of the two Marquis' Mansions and Princess Fuxing.
Another important thing is that from the time she first celebrated her love life to the present, the time has not been short. The emperor has been to Luo Yanju more times than most concubines, but her belly has no news at all.
Ding Meier has heard many people say that the queen can get pregnant with twins because she used the supplements offered by Shu Yao, which was filled with Shu Yao's blessing. She wanted to make friends with Shu Yao well. One of the big reasons is that she wanted to get pregnant with the lucky ones and get pregnant with the twins as soon as possible. Even twins, twins.
But now, even if Shu Yao offers some supplements, she doesn't dare to use them.
Ding Meier regretted it, regretting why she was so obsessed with it and wanted to grab the jade screen holder on Shu Yao and the others? If it were in the capital, she would never do that easily, because her grandmother and mother kept telling her that there are many noble people in the capital, and they don’t know when and where they will meet someone they cannot offend. And then she was on the road. She thought it was just a small town.
Ding Meier was in a mess and her heart was surrounded by many things. She didn't know what to do, so she had to quickly follow the jubilant crowd heading to the Imperial Garden. Let's put the rest first, and discuss it when her father and mother enter the palace.
Sima Yan peeked at Ding Meier for a while with interest, but the entangled Ding Meier had no feelings at all...
Kongdi comforted Concubine Li and greeted the queen. Sima Yan also followed the crowd. No matter how she didn't want to show off when reading, Yao was there, now the empress dowager was there and Concubine Ma was there, she had to go with her.
The Murong Mansion had already held a funeral at this time and reported it to the family of relatives and friends. The mansion was in a mess. The 12-year-old young lady Zhen Keling and two personal maids were tied up and knelt beside the mourning hall and cried and muttered to return to the Zhen family of Daming Mansion.
Murong Ziye looked at Zhen Keling, who was crying with tears in his face, snorted coldly in disgust, and asked his close-up boss Sui Minglu: "The people from the second house of Zhen Mansion have not arrived yet? Have they sent someone to deliver a letter to Daming Mansion City?"
Minglu quickly replied: "Mr. Zhen Er was shocked and his hands and feet were trembling at that time. Mr. Zhen Er was still calm, so he quickly sent someone to notify the old man Zhen Kebao of Zhen. I heard that the old man Zhen was discussing business with people in the suburbs of Beijing, and seemed to be planning to open a delicious building in the suburbs. I thought that the second house of Zhen Mansion was separated after all, so how could he avoid suspicion? He must be waiting for the old man Zhen Mansion to come together. Mr. Zhen is the eldest brother of the eldest son.
A trace of calculating flashed across Murong Ziye's face: "It's best if Zhen Kebao is there." Opening a restaurant near the suburbs of the capital? Not bad! It's just the Murong family, and it won't be the Zhen family anymore.
Minglu hesitated for a moment: "Uncle, what if the Marquis of Yongping helps them stand out? I just got the news that Princess Qi was named Princess Fuxing by the emperor in front of the important ministers and Thonburi guests. The emperor also gave Princess Fuxing the Yiyuan to Princess Fuxing as the Princess's Mansion. Uncle, we..."
Murong Ziye was shocked: "Really?" This emperor valued the three siblings of the Xia family so much? Even if he happened to save the emperor (Murrong Ziye just didn't believe how good martial arts a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl could have), it wouldn't be enough to be named Princess Qi?
