The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

"Yes, my cousin whose legitimate wife is dead, and our master who just became a scholar, are all good matches for Miss Meng."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Meng Wenyao silently recited: It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge within ten days.

Suddenly a woman came running over and asked Meng Wenyao to go to the front hall to receive the order.

There are already many people gathered in the front hall. The Duke's Mansion has just held a hairpin ceremony for Meng Yuanchu, who recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan. There is an imperial edict over there. Could it be to reward the newly recognized daughter?

The Meng family members of the Duke's Mansion knelt down one by one to listen to the order.

"By the fate of heaven and the decree of the Queen Mother, Meng is a scholar of the Yao family. He is gentle and virtuous, handsome and intelligent, and talented and intelligent. The mourning family is very happy and canonizes him as the Lord of Rongan County. I admire this."

After hearing the decree, Mrs. Wei was still unsure, so she asked the eunuch who announced the decree: "Did you get the name wrong? I am the legitimate daughter of the Meng family, Meng Yuanchu?"

The father-in-law snorted coldly: "Madam really loves to joke."

Meng Yuanchu had a pale face and was trembling on the side. Today is the day when she officially recognizes her ancestor and returns to the clan. It is also the day when she officially debuts in the aristocratic family in the capital. Even if there is no reward in the palace, she actually rewards her as an adopted daughter. This is not a public beating on her. face?

Meng Wenyao calmly stood up and accepted the order. This was what the Queen Mother meant to reassure her.

The few ladies who had ridiculed her before had already retreated evasively. Meng Wenyao was not a phoenix turning into a pheasant, but a phoenix reborn from the ashes. They were sarcastic too early.

There was a lot of discussion around him.

"Although Meng Wenyao is just an adopted daughter, the Queen Mother has taken a fancy to her, and her status is more valuable than before."

"That's right, I heard that she has an engagement with King Jing. If King Jing is established as the crown prince in the future, wouldn't her future be limitless?"

Although it was not a reward for Meng Yuanchu, it was still a happy event for the Meng family. The Duke continued to entertain the guests with a smile, and the haircut ceremony was considered a complete success.

After the guests dispersed, King Jing found Meng Wenyao and explained anxiously and sincerely: "Yao'er, I gave that hairpin to you. I had it delivered to the Duke's Mansion yesterday, but somehow it ended up in the hands of the early Yuan Dynasty. "

This sounds reasonable, but it's just a hairpin that has been carved for several months. It happened that it was carved yesterday and delivered to me when Meng Wenyao was not in the house?

Even though she was not his official match, Meng Wenyao still felt a little unworthy of her original owner. It was natural for everyone in the Meng family to favor Meng Yuanchu. They were blood relatives.

But as for King Jing, he is Meng Wenyao's fiancé. Their relationship with childhood sweethearts only lasted a few days, but because the original owner was not a direct bloodline of the Duke's family, he openly moved on and fell in love with someone else. The original owner really seemed to be blind.

Meng Wenyao returned to the Duke's Mansion last night and heard a lot of details about the relationship between King Jing and Meng Yuanchu. Those who didn't know it thought they were an unmarried couple.

I am so nervous to explain now, maybe it is not because Meng Wenyao has become the county lord and the Queen Mother loves her so much that she reconsiders the value and feels that it is necessary to continue the marriage.

But how can you let others pick and choose like this? Meng Wenyao sneered: "It turns out that my sister took the hairpin by mistake. How about the prince go to my sister to get it back and just say that the hairpin was originally given to me?"

"it is good."

King Jing strode away, leaving Meng Wenyao dumbfounded. This man was really shameless when he had two women so at his mercy.

After a while, King Jing and Meng Yuanchu came over together. King Jing reached out and handed the hairpin to Meng Wenyao.

Meng Yuanchu had obviously cried, and he forced a smile and said: "Yesterday, the prince sent someone to the prosperous courtyard. I thought it was for me. I forgot that my sister lived there before, which caused this misunderstanding. Don't be upset, sister. I’m angry.”

Acting! As if no one would do it, Meng Wenyao took the hairpin and said calmly: "I don't want this hairpin, I just want to give it to my sister with my own hands."

After saying that, she handed the hairpin to Meng Yuanchu. Meng Yuanchu was a little hesitant. After all, it was carved by King Jing himself. She really liked it and reached out to pick it up.

"Oh, sister, why didn't you hold it firmly? Unfortunately, it broke."

This incident made the two people on the opposite side change their faces. King Jing was a little angry with Meng Wenyao for deliberately breaking the hairpin.

"Yao'er, are you angry with me?"

"Sister, don't be angry with the prince. It's all my fault. If you want to be angry, just be angry with me."

Meng Wenyao slowly exhaled a breath and said: "Meng Yuanchu, 17 years ago, I was just an infant, and it was not my intention to exchange identities with you. Now that you are back, everything will naturally return to its original position. , the identity of the eldest daughter is yours, and the marriage to King Jing is also yours, I don’t owe you anything from now on."

After Meng Wenyao finished speaking, she raised her feet and left, but was grabbed by King Jing.

"Where are you going?"

Meng Wenyao raised the Yi Zhi in his hand and said: "Go and thank the Queen Mother."

"I'll accompany you."

Meng Wenyao was speechless, why couldn't she get rid of her? She walked quickly in front, and King Jing followed leisurely behind.

Meng Yuanchu cried and called "Prince" several times from behind, but "Sister" couldn't hear him.

In the carriage entering the palace, King Jing kept apologizing to Meng Wenyao.

"I really have nothing to do with Yuanchu. Don't get me wrong. She is your sister after all, and we will all be relatives in the future. I just said a few words to her."

Meng Wenyao was indifferent and heard from the servants in the house that King Jing had taken Meng Yuanchu to the lake to enjoy the lanterns in the past two days. In front of flowers and under the moon, it was Lang Qing who was interested in concubine. How could it become a misunderstanding in the blink of an eye? She couldn't listen to it anymore.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother and Grandmother have confused us two. I really don't want to marry you now. You and Meng Yuanchu are just the right match. I really wish you two to be together. Let's enter the palace now. Explain to the Queen Mother and ask her to give you a wedding decree."

King Jing didn't know whether he was being poked by Meng Wenyao, or he really didn't want to break up the marriage. His face turned red anxiously, and he said angrily: "Sooner or later, you will know what I am thinking."

Then he jumped off the carriage and left. Meng Wenyao entered the palace alone and thanked the Queen Mother.

"Yao'er, when you go home this time, will anyone in the Meng Mansion bully you?"

The Queen Mother lovingly held Meng Wenyao's little hand, just like she held her hand when she was a child and asked her: "Yao'er, what do you want to eat?"

Meng Wenyao's eyes were slightly red, and she was moved and said: "My queen, Yao'er will stay with you from now on. Can you be a female official?"

After her grandmother passed away, the Queen Mother gave all her friendship to Meng Wenyao. The Emperor had no children or concubines, and the Queen Mother was lonely in the palace. Meng Wenyao also wanted to be by her side, so that she could better gain favor with the Emperor. Simply kill two birds with one stone.

The Queen Mother frowned and said slightly angrily: "Did you know that as a female official, you have to be 25 before you can leave the palace to get married? Why don't you ask King Jing to wait until you are 25?"

"Then let King Jing marry someone else?" Meng Wenyao blinked at the Queen Mother with big eyes, as if what she rejected was not a marriage, but a discarded toy.

The more indifferent Meng Wenyao looked, the more the Queen Mother felt that she had been wronged. Unexpectedly, she made Meng Wenyao the county head, and the Meng family actually felt wronged by her.

He immediately said angrily: "Come here, go to the Meng family and check the Ai family. What happened to their legitimate daughter?"

Meng Wenyao hurriedly stopped her: "Mother, why are you investigating the beginning of Yuan Dynasty?"

"What?"

The Queen Mother said angrily: "Since this legitimate daughter came back, she has bullied our Yao'er. She has a family and can't go back. Can't the Ai family still be unable to make decisions for you? The Duke's Palace was able to make mistakes for their own daughter in the first place, but now they can't Made another mistake? The Ai family wants to see what kind of trick they want to pull."
