The cooking color is delicious, general, don't bite me

Chapter 173 The news is really well-informed!

After Meng Fuling was surprised, she soon understood that since Xue Shi no longer deliberately avoided Yue Shaoqing, she was destined to be "taken down" by Yue Shaoqing.

One reason is that Xue Shi still has affection for Yue Shaoqing, and the other reason is that Xue Shi has a simple and kind-hearted temperament, it is easy for Yue Shaoqing to 'take' her.

But Meng Fuling always referred to Yue Shaoqing as Lord Marquis, and it felt uncomfortable to ask her to call him father instead.

"Your father mainly wants to bring me back to Beijing to get married, and also let you recognize your ancestors, and the Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon."

When talking about the Empress Dowager, Xue's tone was clearly disturbed. After all, she lived at this age and had been staying in the countryside and mountain villages. She had never set foot in the capital city, let alone saw the Empress Dowager.

Meng Fuling didn't say anything, feeling a little unhappy that Xue and Yue Shaoqing asked her to recognize her ancestors before asking her opinion.

Even though they are together, as Xue's daughter, it is normal for her to recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, but at least ask her what she thinks in advance.

Anyway, after they decided to tell her, it made her feel disrespected.

"Fuling, why don't you speak? Are you still worried about the little chicken wings, so you don't want to go back to Beijing?" Mrs. Xue didn't notice Meng Fuling's strangeness, thinking that she was just worried about the little chicken wings.

Meng Fuling sighed secretly, why should she care too much about Mrs. Xue?She knew that Mrs. Xue was a person with no opinions, so she must obey Yue Shaoqing's decision.

She couldn't help but rejoice that Yue Shaoqing loved Xue Shi, otherwise, with Xue Shi's temperament, marrying into the Yueyang Marquis Mansion would only be tortured.

At the same time, Meng Fuling was also very worried that the Queen Mother would dislike Xue Shi, dislike Xue Shi's background, and had married someone.You know, the Queen Mother has only one younger brother, Yue Shaoqing, and she values ​​Yue Shaoqing very much.

"Mother, don't worry, I will accompany you to Beijing." Meng Fuling didn't say much, but only said in a soothing tone.

I don't know when the little chicken wings will be found, but what is certain is that Zhong Lixiao will not hurt the little chicken wings.

If Zhong Lixiao's purpose was to hurt or even kill Xiaojiwing, it would be impossible to hold back for so long and do everything possible to take Xiaojiwing away.

That's all!She was worried about letting Mrs. Xue deal with the Queen Mother, and when she thought that the Queen Mother had targeted her so much, she also felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Meng Fuling agreed, Mrs. Xue didn't think much about it, and was very happy about it.

Meng Fuling was speechless, she walked out of the room, Yue Shaoqing just came over and greeted her happily, "Fuling!"

"En!" Meng Fuling replied lukewarmly, without calling him.

Yue Shaoqing didn't mind either, and smiled kindly, "Fu Ling, should your mother tell you? We—"

"I said, I will go to Beijing with her. As for the recognition of the ancestors, let's talk about it." Meng Fuling interrupted him impatiently.

Yue Shaoqing's face froze, he was puzzled that Meng Fuling had no objection to him being with Mrs. Xue.Moreover, it was thanks to her that Mrs. Xue could forgive him so quickly, so why does she have a problem with him now?
"Fuling, what's wrong with you? Is it because of the Queen Mother?" Yue Shaoqing guessed when he remembered that the Queen Mother made trouble for Meng Fuling.

Seeing that Meng Fuling didn't answer, Yue Shaoqing thought it was, "The Empress Dowager misunderstood the greedy words at that time, but in fact she has a good heart and didn't intend to target you."

"Master Yue, as long as my mother is happy, I will not interfere in your affairs. Please don't help me make any decisions without my consent. At least respect me."

Meng Fuling wouldn't talk about this with Xue Shi, but Yue Shaoqing was different.She felt that although this matter was not a big problem, it had to be pointed out so that if there was one, there would be another.

Yue Shaoqing instantly understood what Meng Fuling meant. Thinking about it carefully, he and the Xue family really did something wrong with asking Meng Fuling to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.

After he figured it out, he said sincerely, "Fu Ling, it's because father lacks consideration, so don't take it to heart."

Meng Fuling's face turned pale, and her tone softened a lot, "When will we leave?"

"Wait for you to arrange things here." Yue Shaoqing secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

In his opinion, getting Meng Fuling to fully accept him is even more difficult than Xue's.Therefore, in front of her, he was afraid that if he made a mistake, he would make her feel disgusted.

Meng Fuling nodded, was silent for a while, and then left, because she didn't know what to say to Yue Shaoqing.

******
Meng Fuling and the others didn't enter Beijing until Xiaodonggua's health was fully recovered, but Qi Xuan's health was good and he had martial arts skills, so he had already recovered.

Today is the day of arriving in Beijing. Originally, Meng Fuling and Xiaodonggua were going to live in the General's Mansion, and the Xue family followed Yue Shaoqing back to Yueyang Hou's Mansion.

But Meng Fuling was not at ease, Yueyang Hou's mansion suddenly parachuted a hostess from a rural mountain village, and she hadn't officially married Yue Shaoqing yet, how could the people below be convinced?
How did Mrs. Xue get the Zhongfu of the Hou Mansion?It is impossible for Yue Shaoqing to be by her side all the time.

Therefore, Meng Fuling planned to stay with Mrs. Xue in the Marquis of Yueyang for a period of time, to help Mrs. Xue take care of some unscrupulous people, and to rectify the affairs of the mansion.

But Qi Xuan was dissatisfied. Seeing that Meng Fuling wanted someone to bring her luggage into the Hou's residence, he hurriedly stopped her, "You are my woman, and Xiaodonggua is my son, so why don't you live with me?"

Little Winter Melon was in Meng Fuling's arms, and he wanted to contradict Qi Xuan, "You didn't marry my mother!"

Qi Xuan was dumbfounded, he and Meng Fuling seemed to have some misunderstandings.

After a pause, he asked Meng Fuling in front of Mrs. Xue and the others, "Then when will you marry me?"

Meng Fuling really couldn't laugh or cry, didn't they agree to get married after Fang's family and Ding'an Palace were settled?
Not only Qi Xuan is in a hurry, Xue Shi is also in a hurry!Even the little wax gourds are so big, Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling are not married yet.

"Don't say this at the door, okay?" Meng Fuling said helplessly.

Qi Xuan shut up resentfully, and wanted to take the little winter melon from Meng Fuling's arms, but the little winter melon was on her body, refusing to let him hug her.

It made him feel that he had the least status in front of Meng Fuling and his son.

Meng Fuling shook her head amusedly, "Why don't you go back to the General's Mansion first? After leaving for so long, there should be a lot of things to deal with. When I'm settled, I'll go see Steward Lu."

"Fu Ling, why don't we go to see Steward Lu now, and pack our luggage when we come back." Xue suddenly said.

How could Meng Fuling fail to see the uneasiness in Xue's heart?
When Xue came down from the carriage, she saw the Hou Mansion with its high gate and a large group of servants who came out to greet her, she showed fear on her face, at this moment, she obviously had an evasive mentality and dared not go in.

Meng Fuling thought to herself, since they are already at the gate, why not enter the mansion?If Mrs. Xue dared not enter the mansion now, he would definitely be looked down upon by the people below.

"It's okay, you are the hostess here, you can enter the mansion whenever you want." Apparently, Yue Shaoqing also saw Xue Shi's thoughts, and comforted her with a gentle voice.

"Yeah." With Yue Shaoqing's words, Xue Shi was much relieved.

Before she could really feel at ease, the Empress Dowager's decree arrived, which was to pass Xue Shi and Meng Fuling into the palace.

Xue's face turned pale in an instant. She knew that it would be a matter of time before she went to Beijing to face the Queen Mother, but she never thought it would be so soon.

"The queen mother is very well informed. We have just arrived, and her edict has arrived before we even entered the gate of the mansion." Meng Fuling's eyes darkened, and the queen mother obviously calculated when they would arrive at the mansion, so she issued an order to summon her and Xue's.

Meng Fuling knew that the rumors about her were false, and the person the Empress Dowager really wanted to see was Mrs. Xue.Generally, when entering the palace, one has to prepare a lot, such as clothes and attire, all of which are exquisite.

The Empress Dowager ordered them to enter the palace immediately, and didn't give them a chance to prepare at all. She obviously wanted to see their jokes, and she might even make use of them.

Yue Shaoqing also thought of this, and when he heard Meng Fuling's slightly sarcastic words, he felt guilty, "Qinglian, don't be afraid, I will accompany you into the palace."

"Okay, then—" Mrs. Xue didn't understand anything, and she was at a loss right now, so she wanted to answer.

Meng Fuling interrupted her, "The queen mother asked me and my mother to enter the palace by name. If you go with me, it will only make her dislike my mother even more."

Although Meng Fuling didn't want to admit it very much, but if Mrs. Xue wanted to marry Yue Shaoqing, the first thing she had to pass was the empress dowager.Otherwise, the Empress Dowager has plenty of ways to stop them from being together and target Xue Shi.

"Fu Ling is right, you can't accompany them." Qi Xuan also said.

"You can't do it either!" Meng Fuling knew what Qi Xuan was going to say next, so she rushed for the answer.

Qi Xuan gave Meng Fuling a sullen look, then stopped talking.

In the end, it was decided that Wuwu would accompany Meng Fuling and Xue Shi into the palace, and there was also the little wax gourd hanging on Meng Fuling like a koala, who refused to come down no matter what.

Xiao Donggua has always wanted to enter the palace, so naturally she refused to let go of this opportunity.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother seemed to like Xiaowagua very much last time, and Meng Fuling felt that the Queen Mother would not make things difficult for him, so she agreed to let him enter the palace together.

******
After all, Qi Xuan and Yue Shaoqing were worried, Qi Xuan insisted on sending them to the palace gate, Meng Fuling had no objection to this.

They went there in sedan chairs. Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the side gate of the palace, the emperor sent someone to summon Qi Xuan.

Meng Fuling guessed that the queen mother expected Qi Xuan to send them into the palace, so she should have asked the emperor to summon Qi Xuan in advance.

"I'll go in first, you wait here, someone will lead the way." After Qi Xuan finished speaking, he leaned into Meng Fuling's ear and whispered a few words.

Meng Fuling smiled and nodded slightly, but Xue didn't understand why.

While waiting in the sedan chair, they looked at the palace through the small window in the sedan chair.

It was not the first time for Meng Fuling to enter the palace, so she didn't feel anything, but Xue was very nervous.

What surprised Meng Fuling was that Xiaodonggua was very calm and didn't look around curiously.

After an unknown amount of time, a eunuch came over, and Meng Fuling hurriedly asked Mrs. Xue to get off the sedan chair, and they walked together to the palace gate.

The eunuch looked about 40 to [-] years old, with a fair face and a shrill voice.

Glancing at them sideways, seeing that they were dressed in plain clothes, he looked down upon them a bit.Perhaps because Meng Fuling was the winner of the food competition, there was no disrespect in words.

The eunuch led the way and told them about the rules in the palace and how to salute when they met the queen mother.

Meng Fuling responded a few times, but didn't pay attention to it, but was thinking about how to deal with the Queen Mother.

I don't know how far I walked all the way, passing through one palace gate after another, and finally arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The eunuch who led the way handed them over to another eunuch in charge, who took them to the main hall.

"Fuling." Xue was so nervous that her palms were sweating, she couldn't help reaching out to pull Meng Fuling's sleeve.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xue touched Meng Fuling's sleeve, there was a sharp scolding voice not far away: "Presumptuous!"
