After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 172 Why hasn't the Meng family come to propose marriage

In the Lu family, Yuzhu is inseparable from Yulan.

Yulan said to Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, why do you look at me like a prisoner?"

"Miss asked me to take good care of you. After all, you are twins now, so naturally you have to watch closely."

Yulan said: "You have never been able to hide things, is there something you are hiding from me?"

"No."

As soon as Yu Zhu finished speaking, Mei Qingyan entered the room anxiously and said, "Yulan, quickly change into your best clothes and follow me into the palace. The Empress has summoned you to enter the palace."

Yulan was startled, but she even went to change her clothes.

Mei Qingyan asked Yuzhu who was beside her, "Where's Wanzhi? Why don't you see her in the mansion?"

Yuzhu replied: "Ma'am, miss, she just heard rumors that are bad for Yulan outside, so she went to deal with the rumors."

Mei Qingyan asked: "What rumors?"

Seeing that Yulan had gone inside to change her clothes, Yuzhu said, "Someone outside said that Yulan used to be the servant girl of Marquis Wu'an, this is nothing but nonsense!"

Yulan was holding a light blue shirt with wide sleeves, and wanted to ask Mei Qingyan if the clothes fit well, when she heard Yuzhu's words.

The clothes in Yulan's hand fell to the ground.

Yu Zhu worried: "Yulan."

Mei Qingyan said worriedly: "No wonder the empress suddenly Xuan Yulan has an audience today, Yuzhu, you should go to the Gu residence immediately."

Mei Qingyan stepped forward to pick up Yulan's dropped clothes, "Go and change clothes, don't be afraid of things you haven't done, the Empress is a sensible person, maybe she will make decisions for you."

Yulan picked up the clothes and said, "Yes."

Mei Qingyan also got her own maid to put makeup on Yulan, and seeing that Yulan's hands were shaking, she said, "Don't be afraid."

When Yulan followed Lu Wanzhi into the palace in the past, she would stop outside the palace gate, but today was the first time she entered the palace, and her whole heart was beating violently.

After entering the main hall of the central palace, seeing the smooth jade bricks under her feet, Yulan walked up to the empress carefully and knelt down, "Your maidservant kowtowed to the empress."

Empress Gu sat on the phoenix chair, looked at Yulan below and said, "Raise your head."

Yulan raised her head cautiously, but she didn't dare to look at Queen Gu.

Queen Gu said: "You really are a beauty, I heard today that you were once the maid of Marquis Wu'an?"

Mei Qingyan continued: "Madam, this is absolutely nothing. Yulan has been deeply in love with my family Wanzhi's master and servant since she was a child, like sisters. Marquis Wu An owes my family Wanzhi so much, and Yulan hates Marquis Wu An before it's too late. Why? Will you make room for him?"

Yulan also kowtowed again and again: "The Queen's Majesty knows the lesson, the slaves have never had anything to do with Marquis Wu'an, if there is, I will be struck by lightning!"

Seeing Yulan being so open-minded, Empress Gu said, "Get up, the tree attracts the wind, you have changed from a servant of the Lu family to the second young lady of the Gu family, there must be many people staring at you, and there are also people who are staring at the marriage between the Gu family and the Lu family.

This time the rumors are not directed at you, they are directed at the Gu Lu family's marriage, otherwise it would not be Concubine De talking about it today. "

Mei Qingyan cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty is holy."

Empress Gu beckoned Yulan to come forward and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid, no one will dare to spread the rumors outside after you enter the gate of Gu Mansion."

Yulan said repeatedly, "Thank you, Ma'am."

Empress Gu looked at Yulan's appearance and said, "Is the name Yulan your real name or..."

Yulan said: "I don't have a real name. The name Yulan was given to me by the girl. I really like it."

Queen Gu said: "Your girl is good at naming things. The magnolias in spring are very beautiful. It just so happens that I have a set of magnolia heads made of purple jade here, so I will give them to you as a meeting gift."

Purple is the most expensive jade belt, Yulan said repeatedly: "Thank you for your reward."

Lu Wanzhi and Zhao Heng returned to the mansion, and when they heard that the empress had summoned Yulan into the palace, Lu Wanzhi frowned.

Zhao Heng comforted: "Zhizhi, don't worry, my aunt is very reasonable, she will definitely not embarrass Yulan."

Lu Wanzhi said: "I thought it was a rumor that Lu Ningran couldn't see Lu Jiahao, but now it's not that simple.

How could the Empress know about the rumors that only spread from the Zhou family at noon today? "

Zhao Heng said: "I also think it's very weird."

Lu Wanzhi thought about it carefully: "At this moment, it's just the engagement between the Lu family and the Gu family, which has already hindered the eyes of some people in the palace."

Zhao Heng asked: "People in the palace? King Jin?"

Lu Wanzhi nodded.

Zhao Heng asked curiously: "This king of Jin has become an eunuch, is it possible that he is still trying to be the crown prince?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "It's not that eunuchs can't try for the throne. At the worst, they can adopt children. And if he ascends the throne, who would dare to check if he is an eunuch? You, you should be more careful about King Jin."

Zhao Heng was not afraid at all and said: "With Brother Huang here, King Jin will not be able to succeed in the presence of Brother Huang."

Seeing Zhao Heng's trust in the crown prince, Lu Wanzhi asked, "Do you trust your emperor brother that much?"

Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Yes."

Lu Wanzhi said to Zhao Heng: "Zhao Heng, you must always remember that in this world, the only person you can trust is yourself.

Especially His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still be the ruler of the world in the future, so you should not trust him too easily. "

"Zhizhi, are you too prejudiced against my brother? Although he took away your original sister-in-law."

Seeing someone behind the gate, Lu Wanzhi covered Zhao Heng's mouth
Seeing Lu Yunxuan in the courtyard, Lu Wanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Xuanxuan, why are you here?"

Lu Yunxuan said: "Sister, just now the Prince Xiaojun said that His Royal Highness snatched away our original sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Lu Wanzhi said: "Nothing, you heard wrong."

Lu Yunxuan glanced at Zhao Heng, and said to Lu Wanzhi: "Sister, I have something I want to talk to you alone."

Lu Wanzhi asked Zhao Heng to go back first, and asked Lu Yunxuan, "What's the matter?"

Lu Yunxuan twisted the handkerchief in her hand and said, "It's been so many days since the results of the autumn test came out, why hasn't the Meng family come to talk about the marriage? Sister, will Meng Ao blame me?"

Lu Wanzhi comforted: "How could Meng Ao betray you? Maybe something has delayed it, so you don't have to worry."

Lu Yunxuan sighed, "Oh."

……

In the East Palace, Meng Jingshu saw the medicine brought by Madam Meng, she frowned and said, "Mother, I just had a miscarriage, and the imperial doctor said that I need to recuperate for at least half a year."

Mrs. Meng said: "Maybe there will be another draft in the spring of next year. There will be no heirs in the East Palace, and a newcomer must be added. The princess concubine must conceive as soon as possible. These fertility drugs are extremely effective."

Meng Jingshu had a terrible headache, "Understood, mother, you don't have to find these medicines for me in the future, you'd better worry about my brother's marriage.

Gu Qingchi has already decided on a marriage, and his younger brother passed the autumn examination, so it's time to put the marriage on the agenda. "

Mrs. Meng said: "I came to the East Palace today to talk to you about this matter. Your brother said that he is in love with the third girl of the Lu family and wants to marry the third girl of the Lu family. What do you think of this marriage?"

Meng Jingshu heard that it was a girl from the Lu family, and said: "It's a good marriage, as long as my brother likes it, you can go to the Lu family to propose marriage."

"But at the time when the Lu family came to propose marriage, I refused. Now it's our turn to go to the Lu family to propose marriage. This..."

"The prince is here."

Meng Jingshu heard the words from outside, so she got up and went outside to greet her.

The prince entered and saw Mrs. Meng and said, "Mother-in-law."

Seeing the prince in front of her, Mrs. Meng saluted with a flattering smile, "His Royal Highness."

Seeing the medicine on the table, the prince frowned slightly, but he didn't say much after all.

Meng Jingshu said to the crown prince: "Your Highness, mother talked about my younger brother's marriage today. Meng Ao is interested in the third girl of the Lu family and wants to marry the third girl of the Lu family."

The prince said: "This is a good marriage, and the Lu family can get closer and closer."

Mrs. Meng got the words of the crown prince, so she had the confidence to go to the Lu family to propose marriage, and left the palace with a happy face.

After Mrs. Meng left, the prince saw the medicine on the table and asked the maid to take it out and throw it away.

"Jingshu, don't take any medicine except the medicine Li Yuyi gave you."

Meng Jingshu said: "It's also useless as a concubine. They have been married into the palace for five years and have not been able to add a son to His Highness. Why don't His Highness go to other younger sisters' rooms more often."

The prince said with displeasure: "Jingshu, the orphaned son will only be born by you."

Meng Jingshu was extremely shocked when she heard the prince's words, she said slowly: "What if the concubine can't be born?"
