Entering the Yimen of Meng Mansion is the main hall, Baohui Hall. This place was built according to Meng Xian's regulations for third-grade officials. It has a total of seven main rooms with nine bays. It is magnificent and majestic. Mrs. Wu is now seriously ill.

At her request, Meng Min had no choice but to move her into the warm pavilion of his suite so that he could take care of her at any time. The west courtyard next to Baohui Hall was empty. Zhang Qing followed Meng Tao into the corridor next to Baohui Hall. All the servants he saw on the road were

Frustrated and helpless, she couldn't help but feel quite heavy in her heart.

I remember that when my father Zhang Xin was imprisoned, the house was almost raided. Although it has been spared now, who knows whether the wolf-like and tiger-like Jin Yiwei will be provoked in the next moment?

Meng Min's courtyard is in the northernmost part of Meng's house. It faces both light and dark. It was specially selected by Mrs. Wu. When Zhang Qing looked at the courtyard gate from a distance, she saw a woman wearing a peach red shirt pulling a little boy across the courtyard.

After crossing the threshold and coming out, she stood there and stamped her foot hard, then spat on the ground. It was Aunt Zhong. Seeing this move, she couldn't help but change her expression, quickened her pace and caught up.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

Aunt Zhong heard that a noble person had come to the family, so she brought her son here to keep her eye on her. Who knew that she had hit a snag just now?

Looking over her shoulder, she saw clearly that it was Zhang Qing with a bad look on her face. She was startled. She quickly apologized and said that her throat was dry and she got carried away. After pulling her son up to salute, she quickly smeared the soles of her feet with oil and fled. Meng Tao came from behind.

He came up and glared at the back figure with disgust, then raised his hand to guide Zhang Qing inside.

A little girl under the eaves opened the curtain. Zhang Qing lowered her head and crossed the threshold. She saw Zhu Ning, the princess of Chenliu, sitting on the kang in the east corner opposite the main door. She saw that the princess was wearing a crow-green shirt and a pine flower color.

Wearing a jade-patterned skirt, a phoenix hairpin on her head, and a gold-inlaid jade belt around her waist, she looked graceful yet elegant. Meng Min only wore light colors on the kang at the west end, but Zhang Yue sat on the first chair at the east end.

Enter. She stepped forward to salute, and then she bent her knees for a moment, but a girl beside Zhu Ning had already stepped forward to help her up.

"Sister Zhang, this is not an outside place. It's just a matter of etiquette. Otherwise, I'll just leave." Zhu Ning had a cheerful temperament and said directly at the moment, "I've wanted to come for a long time, but I'm afraid that if I don't go well, I'll end up with it."

Min Min has been implicated, so I came here simply with accurate information. After you go back, you might as well tell the Marquis of Baoding that the Emperor's anger is almost gone now, and Master Meng will be able to come out in less than ten days and a half. This banishment will be enough.

The clerk is sure, but it will be fine as long as we get through this."

Although he had heard this before, but now that he heard it again, Zhang Yue couldn't help but glance up, and his eyes happened to meet Meng Min's. Seeing her face flushed with joy, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he met the saint yesterday -

Since even Meng Xian's crime of secretly serving the vassal king with ulterior motives can be picked up and put down gently, what kind of crime is Du Zhen's?

"Amitabha, thank God!" Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but put her hands together and chanted, then stood up and blessed Zhu Ning, "The princess has brought such good news, now I can sleep after I go back

Have a good sleep! The fourth sister has been worrying about it for so many days, and the eldest aunt is seriously ill because of it. Now she is finally over it. Is this called keeping the clouds clear and seeing the moonlight? "

Zhu Ning glanced at Zhang Yue meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhang, there is one less person to talk about. Apart from the three of you, I'm afraid that the third young master can also let go of a worry. It's a pity that Mr. Du's matter has not yet been resolved."

It's accurate, I don't dare to say it randomly to make you feel at ease. With the emperor's temperament, he is tolerant to military officers and harsh to civil servants, I'm afraid Mr. Du will have to suffer for a while. I have sent people to Du's house every day to inquire about news, but

Wan'er and Aunt Du haven't come back yet. Even if I want to comfort them, I can't find anyone."

"Isn't Mr. Du's matter settled yet?"

Zhang Yue was quite surprised at this time. Seeing that the audience was full of trustworthy people, he simply recounted what happened when he met the Holy Spirit yesterday, and his brows knitted into a knot: "I thought the Emperor had already concluded that Mr.

There is no big fault, but now it seems that the emperor has other motives for asking me to leave my husband alone?"

"It's hard to say. Liang Qian, the leader, is not a civil servant who has been praised by the emperor again and again. But at that time, if Lord Du hadn't begged for mercy, he would have almost died with Zhou Mian. Moreover, even if he begged for mercy, he would have died.

The beggars should be pragmatic. Over the years, there have been too many people who have failed to beg for mercy and instead used themselves as companions and kidnappers."

Zhu Ning shook his head gently and said: "Even the emperor's grandson did not dare to come forward about Mr. Liang's matter last time, let alone others. All I can do this time is to inquire about the news.

Otherwise, if I step forward rashly without knowing my own capabilities, and if I fail to help people but harm them instead, wouldn’t it be my fault?"

Everyone in the room was silent after what she said. In order to liven up the atmosphere, Zhang Qing managed to change the topic and talked about interesting things about each family. After a long time, there was more laughter in the room. After talking and laughing for a while, she started talking again.

Angrily, Meng Min said that he would hold a poetry meeting again and invite the female relatives of each family to come out and have fun. Zhu Ning always liked crowded places, and Busy also joined in. While they were making a fuss, there was suddenly a burst of voices outside, and Meng Min ordered

Hongxiu went out to see what was going on.

As soon as Hong Xiu went out, she turned around with a strange expression on her face, and was followed by Meng Fan. As soon as this arrogant young master of the Meng family crossed the threshold, he shouted: "I just passed by the clan mansion.

, I heard that the emperor wanted to select a guest of honor for Princess Chenliu, and there were rumors outside that the princess wanted to be crowned a princess... Ah, Princess Chenliu, you are actually here..."

This sudden news made everyone in the room stunned. After a long time, Princess Chenliu Zhu Ning just smiled bitterly: "I knew that this day would come sooner or later. Among the princesses in the clan, all those younger than me were already married.

Yeah. Anyway, it’s just a matter of choosing one of the meritorious officials or some talented people. Who do you marry?”

"That's not what I'm saying. If the princess really has someone she can see, and she quietly goes to ask the emperor, it may not be wrong." Zhang Qing saw Zhu Ning's waning mood and couldn't help but persuade her, "After all, it is a life-long event.

The princess must not be careless."

"It's boring if you don't say this!" Zhu Ning waved her hands repeatedly, and seeing Meng Fan standing there awkwardly, she smiled again, "I have nothing to be ashamed of as the person who wants to choose the guest of honor, what do you have to be ashamed of?

It's not that you two brothers are too young, maybe I'll tell the emperor to choose one of you. If I can have a sister-in-law like Minmin and a reasonable mother-in-law like my aunt, I won't be happy enough. Well, today

I’ve been here for so long, it’s time to leave, leaving some room for you to talk!”

Although Meng Tao and Meng Fan were young, this woman was no longer Chu Ge, and it was the first time he had eaten a woman and teased her. He was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Qing and Meng Min were laughing so hard. Zhang Yue on the side knew that Zhu Ning had always been extremely

He had his own opinion, and when he saw that she was about to leave, he stood up with everyone else. Who knew that Zhu Ning didn't want the Meng family to see her off, but instead pointed her hand at him.

"Zhang Yue, how about you give me a ride?"

Although he was surprised, seeing Meng Min smiling and nodding, and Zhang Qing winking beside him, Zhang Yue couldn't help but refuse. He opened the curtain and let Zhu Ning go first, and he followed closely and walked along the west flower wall.

The place is a road, with several quiet courtyards to the west, and a podium where the servants live to the east. The servant leading the way walked in front, and Zhu Ning turned back and said angrily after only a few steps: "I said Zhang Yue, you

What are you hiding behind? Am I going to eat you?"

While Zhang Yue was distracted, she stopped. When he came up and walked side by side, she smiled slyly and said, "Min Min is kind and gentle, Wan'er is smart and sophisticated, both of them are good matches for men."

, the only thing I am better than them is the title of princess. But, which one of them do you like? Last time I heard someone mentioned your marriage to the emperor, even if I didn't ask, the emperor might not know which day

I’ll also ask about it.”

Although he had known that Zhu Ning had the kind of temperament to say whatever he wanted, Zhang Yue still couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed when faced with this sudden question. He wanted to prevaricate, but Zhu Ning kept a close eye on him, so he simply said bluntly:

"As you said, both Minmin and Wanmei are very good. No matter who they are, they are both good wives. It is a great blessing for a man to marry either of them. But the princess should also know that I have said this.

Not really. Although I’m not the kind of person who has to choose a family or family background, these days my family is all looking at these things when deciding on a marriage. I’m just worried that I won’t be able to help myself when the time comes.”

"You are right." Zhu Ning's originally smiling face was suddenly filled with gloom, "The Zhang family is a famous family. You have parents above you, and there is an ancestor above you, just like I have a family above you.

Father and the emperor, we cannot follow our own whims. If Mr. Meng is demoted to serve as an official this time, your ancestors will definitely have doubts about the marriage. If Mr. Du is detained in the Jinyiwei Prison and will not be released, or he will be demoted.

If you resign, the matter between you and Wan'er will no longer be mentioned. Alas!"

She shook her head angrily and walked a few steps side by side with Zhang Yue. She suddenly stopped again and stared at Zhang Yue's face for a while: "I can see that the emperor still treats you.

It's a bit protective. Although there is no precedent, if you ask for a marriage, I'm sure they will agree to it. But after all, this is beyond the elders of the family. You'd better talk to the ancestor of your family.

Mention it so that no one will say you are disrespectful in the future."

At this moment, Zhang Yue suddenly felt enlightened and thought to himself that if the marriage was delayed any longer, it might become a serious issue, so he nodded and said: "Thank you for your advice, Princess. When I come back from Qingzhou, I will do it."

Go and beg the Emperor."

The midsummer midday sun was so hot that everyone's shadows on the ground shrank into a ball. The Meng family's road was extremely long, and there were no shelters on both sides, so Zhu Ning's face became red from the sun in an instant.

It wasn't until she entered the corridors on both sides of Baohui Hall that the blush on her face faded a little. Zhang Yue's answer made her feel relieved, but thinking about her unpredictable future, she couldn't help but feel

Her heart was heavy. It wasn't until Zhang Yue sent her from Neiyi Gate to Neichuihua Gate that she suddenly woke up.

"Zhang Yue, you must be careful when you go to Qingzhou. I heard from a young eunuch in Liangdian that the court meeting has been decided. This execution is not trivial. At least hundreds of heads will be lost. From now on, you must be from the White Lotus Sect.
