The weather is warm and warm, clouds are floating in the sky like catkins, and the blue sky is wide and high, stretching as far as the eye can see.

Sitting on the sedan chair, I looked at the pavilions and pavilions outside through the curtains of the sedan chair that were lifted by the wind. It took five steps to reach the first floor and ten steps to reach the pavilion.

The two dragons carved on the cornices, with golden scales and golden armor, are vividly alive, as if they want to fly into the sky. Under the blue sky, the golden glazed tiles shine with golden brilliance.

It is worthy of being called an imperial palace. Compared with it, even though the Prime Minister's Palace is spectacular, it is not worth mentioning now.

Especially when the sedan was driven all the way to Huaqing Palace, the gorgeous pavilions of Huaqing Palace were set off by the sparkling Huaqing Pool. The ground was covered with duckweeds, green and bright.

Meng Wan got off the sedan chair and was greeted by a palace maid who had already come up to her. Because Huanyan could not follow her, the palace maid bowed politely and then came forward to help her: "This slave is the rose of Huaqing Palace. The Queen specially sent this slave

Waiting for Miss Meng here."

Meng Wan hurriedly saluted, her eyes lowered to the ground, a decent smile hanging on her lips, her posture straight and not swaying.

Seeing this, the palace maid who called herself Yue Ji nodded slightly, her eyes flickered on Meng Wanjiao's beautiful face, and then she helped her into the palace without saying a word.

If the outside of Huaqing Palace is described as majestic, then the inner palace is truly magnificent.

In the dormitory, I saw cloud-top sandalwood as beams, crystal jade as lamps, pearls as curtains, and gold as pillar foundations. A six-foot-wide agarwood bed was hung with a crocodile gauze tent, embroidered with pearls and silver threads all over the tent.

Begonia flowers are swaying in the wind, like falling into the clouds and the phantom sea.

It's really beautiful.

And among the layers of tents, a figure could be faintly seen. Sitting there, it was undoubtedly the queen. Meng Wan just glanced at it for a moment, and then bowed respectfully: "My lord, I pay homage to the queen. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years."

!”

The voice was neither high nor low, and the words flowed out of the mouth clearly, just like a glass of fine daughter's red, with a mellow and long-lasting fragrance.

In the other room, there was a rustling sound. The palace maid had already opened the tent. The queen walked down and gave her a hand in a very close manner: "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Finally, I have been waiting for you for a long time.

It’s coming.”

As he spoke, there was a gentle smile on his face.

Meng Wan just raised his head and took a look.

Wearing a peony-colored palace dress, she looks graceful but not simple. Even though she is past her age, it is not difficult to see the traces of her youthful beauty at first glance.

It's just that the smile was too deliberate, and instead seemed a bit deserted, without the slightest hint of intimacy, especially those eyes that seemed to be able to look into people's hearts.

Meng Wan only glanced at it, then lowered her eyes hurriedly: "I am late, please forgive me, the Queen."

Before her body fell down, she was already being dragged up firmly. The queen personally helped her get up, looking at Meng Wan's beautiful face, with a dignified and gentle smile: "No need to be polite, get up quickly."

Holding her hand, a palace maid was already looking at the seat. Meng Wan sat down next to her, but she secretly cursed in her heart.

In her previous life, she didn't have much interaction with the Queen, and the only few times they met were after she married Huangfu Qian. However, it was obvious that although the Queen looked dignified and virtuous on the surface, she was actually very sophisticated.

Because she had never given birth to a son or a half, she had been raising the fifth prince whose biological mother had passed away in these years. At the beginning, she originally wanted to cultivate the fifth prince Huangfu Yu to be the emperor, but unfortunately, one move was wrong and Huangfu Qian took the advantage.

So later on, she also targeted Huangfu Qian many times, but because of the Prime Minister's help, Huangfu Qian's position as emperor was secure even if she was framed repeatedly, so in the end she had no choice but to admit it.

But now that everything is happening again, Meng Wan is not the prince's concubine now, but she will ask her to come. Meng Wan guesses that it must be because of what happened last night. After all, she was praised by the emperor in person. I'm afraid it has spread throughout the imperial city.

Yes, and what the Queen wants to do most is to please the Emperor, so there is no reason not to follow the Emperor's wishes.

As expected, my thoughts were rising and falling, "The banquet yesterday was too busy and I didn't have time to talk to you properly. There are no outsiders at the moment, so I asked you to come and sit down."

Meng Wan hurriedly lowered his head, pretending to be frightened.

Seeing this, the queen winked at Yue Ji. Yue Ji understood and went to the back room. After a while, she came out with a box. The queen took it and handed it into Meng Wan's hand. Then she smiled and said: "The emperor praises you very much."

"Come on, I praise you for your extraordinary intelligence. I see that you are also a smart child and I like you very much. If you have free time in the future, you will come to the palace to talk to me from time to time."

Meng Wan nodded again and thanked her. At this moment, someone outside announced that the Seventh Prince was here to pay his respects. According to the rules, Meng Wan couldn't stay. She hurriedly got up to leave and listened to the Queen's instructions and changed two sentences.

On the same day, he went into the palace to chat, and then followed the moon out of the side hall.

At this moment, Liuli, who was beside the queen, came to her side: "My queen, I don't understand why you treat her so favorably. Although she is the daughter of the prime minister's family and has been highly praised by Long Live Lord, you are giving her too much face by doing this.

.”

The Queen glanced at Liuli, then clasped the Danko painted on her nails, and said after a long while: "You also said that Long Live Lord praised her very much, so I ask you, in the whole world, can Lord Long Live praise her so much?

How many are there? What’s more, she is such a young girl, which shows that she is very capable. In this case, why don’t I take her as my own? After all, Yu’er’s child is not married yet..."

"Then my dear, what you mean is that you want her..."

At this moment, Prince Heng had already arrived from outside. The Queen narrowed her eyes and then said: "She still has the Prime Minister as her backer. If she can win her over, it will be of great benefit and no harm to her."

---

Yueji led Meng Wan all the way out of Huaqing Palace and settled her in the pavilion for the time being. Yueji said: "Miss Meng, please wait here while I send the sedan chair to drive her out."

Meng Wan nodded slightly and smiled gently and harmlessly. Yue Ji's side had already left. She looked at her back and disappeared from sight, and then she put away her fake smile.

I was a little unsure of the queen's intentions, whether she was trying to win over her or something, but as a queen, it seemed that she didn't need to put in such effort, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was still possible.

After all, the queen has no heirs, and the fifth prince who was the only one she raised cannot gain the emperor's love, so it is not surprising that she wants to win over her.

only...

Meng Wan narrowed her eyes. She had been used as a pawn many times. In this life, she would never make the same mistake again. She would never become anyone's pawn, absolutely!
