Chapter Seven Hundred and Eighteen the Queen Likes to Be a Mother Three

Concubine You Gui was seated at the very front. She held the veil and smiled at Meng Li:

"My sister seems to be in good spirits recently. Is she happy because the prince chose his concubine?"

Meng Li was sitting at the top, and after hearing what Concubine You Gui said, he turned his head slightly to look at Concubine You.

said:

"Why does this palace think that Concubine You Gui is happier than this palace when the prince chooses his concubine?"

"Look at your smile, the fine lines at the corners of your eyes are exposed."

It's true that Concubine You Gui is beautiful, but after so many years in the palace, the years have left marks on her face.

Meng Li said expressionlessly, but the people below couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune.

I also thought it was funny, and those who were more courageous and of higher rank held the handkerchief directly in front of their mouths.

Concubine You Gui's face froze for a moment, and the fake smile on her face didn't know whether to maintain it or not.

"The prince's choice of a concubine must be celebrated in the whole world, and the concubines are naturally happy."

Concubine You Gui said without a smile.

Meng Li did not answer, but continued:

"Sister, you can see that the fine lines at the corners of your eyes are a little more obvious. There is a box of beauty cream here in this palace. It works well. Will I give it to you?"

Concubine You Gui was so angry that she couldn't hold back, she said:

"Empress Empress, it seems that you are older."

Meng Li raised his eyebrows:

"how?"

She touched her face with her hand and said to Concubine You Gui:

"If you didn't laugh in front of Ben Gong all day long, Ben Gong wouldn't say that to you, Ben Gong is too lazy to listen, you really think it's fun, right?"

Concubine You Gui glared at Meng Li and stopped smiling.

Meng Li said:

"Yes, that's it, it looks better like this, like a cold beauty."

Talk a little bit day by day and hide a needle in the cotton,

Meng Li didn't want to hear it at all. The client was willing to fight with Concubine You Gui, but she didn't like Concubine You Gui's appearance of hiding a knife while smiling.

I would rather Concubine You Gui saw her put on a stinky face.

In the plot, when the client was down, it was Concubine You Gui who stepped on it the hardest.

Concubine You Gui was even more arrogant in private, and was the only person in the palace who dared to speak to the Queen like this. All of these actually came from Qi Chesheng's connivance.

The client has the means to rectify this noble concubine, but Qi Chesheng will not let it.

In fact, Qi Chesheng also knew that the two palaces were fighting each other, but the emperor also had feelings for the second prince, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh.

Meng Li felt that Concubine You Gui was quite successful as a stand-in.

After all, Qi Chesheng is about to take the fake as the real thing now.

"The queen is serious..."

Concubine You Gui gritted her teeth, but she didn't finish her sentence.

The atmosphere in the whole hall was condensed, and the people who covered their mouths and laughed before didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Meng Li said lightly:

"Okay, it's okay, everyone go back and rest."

The concubines left.

Zhiqiu, the most popular female official in front of the client, came over.

She said to Meng Li:

"Master, all the portraits have been collected, it's time to show His Royal Highness the prince."

The person following her was dragging a tray with a portrait in it.

Zhiqiu said:

"Master, why don't you take a look at His Highness first?"

If the queen doesn't like a woman, just pull it out.

Meng Li nodded and said:

"Okay, let this palace take a look."

Zhiqiu asked people to arrange the portraits one by one, and Meng Li looked at them one by one and asked:

"Is the daughter of the secretary and young supervisor in there?"

The eunuch next to him froze for a moment, then bowed forward and replied:

"Yes, ma'am."

Meng Li hummed and said:

"Find that girl out and show it to Ben Gong."

The eunuch was in charge of this, and Men Qing quickly found the portrait of the young secretary's daughter.

Meng Li took the portrait and looked at it for a while, then said:

"You don't need to send this to the prince."

The eunuch asked:

"But what's on your mind?"

Meng Li shook his head and said:

"No, you don't want to do anything on your own." Meng Li's eyes were sharp.

The eunuch's body went down even more, and he even said that he knew it.

Meng Li looked at the woman on the portrait for a while. This was the client's biological daughter. The portrait was not a real person, and he didn't know if it was because of preconceived notions. Meng Li felt that the child's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to the client's.

He didn't even give the prince a chance to see her. Although the child was not selected in the plot, Meng Li cautiously deducted her portrait.

He couldn't help sneering, it was his own daughter, and Qi Chesheng was willing to leave it outside to be raised by others.

Another female official came in. She saluted Meng Li and said:

"Niangniang, the emperor went to court and said that he would wait for his wife at the gilding pavilion. When the time comes, His Royal Highness the Prince will also be there, and the emperor asked her to prepare the portrait."

Meng Li nodded and said:

"it is good."

She returned to the dormitory to pack up and headed towards the Gilded Hall.

When she arrived, Qi Chesheng had not arrived yet, but Qi Youyang had arrived.

At the age of fifteen, he looked relatively immature. When he saw Meng Li, he hurriedly saluted:

"Greetings to the Queen Mother."

He bowed.

Meng Li didn't get up, but asked:

"How is everything in the Prince's Mansion, Your Highness?"

"Thank you for your mother's concern, everything is fine."

"Can you study with Taifu?"

"My son doesn't dare to slack off." The prince said quickly.

Meng Li snorted and said:

"Get up, your mother looks tired."

The prince got up in response, and started to chat with Meng Li. Meng Li's indifferent attitude made Qi Youyang wonder why his mother was so indifferent to him today.

He asked cautiously:

"Empress mother, what did the son-in-law do wrong?"

Meng Li looked at Qi Youyang kindly and said:

"Where did the prince want to go, the queen mother thought that in the blink of an eye, the prince will grow up, and now it's time to choose a concubine, it's a happy event, but..."

Meng Li sighed.

Qi Youyang seemed a little shy when he heard Meng Li say this, and then said:

"The queen mother, no matter what the sons are, they are the children of the queen mother."

Meng Li pulled out a standard and dignified smile.

Qi Chesheng is here.

He walked into the pavilion, and Meng Li glanced at Qi Chesheng.

The current Qi Chesheng is no longer the high-spirited teenager he used to be.

Instead, he became a middle-aged mature man with a little beard.

The whole person has a kind of majesty, which is the temperament that the emperor has immersed in these years.

Although Qi Chesheng did not have many great achievements, he did not disturb the country and the people.

For the emperor's job, Qi Chesheng did a pretty good job.

When Qi Chesheng walked up to him, Meng Li bowed slightly, and Qi Chesheng gave Meng Li a false hug, saying:

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Meng Li said softly.

Qi Chesheng was not talking to Meng Li, but looked at the prince and said:

"Do you have someone you like?"

The prince's expression immediately became tense, and Qi Chesheng knew that the prince already had a crush, so he couldn't help but nodded:

"Whoever I like, I will canonize whoever I like as the future crown princess."

Qi Chesheng didn't even ask who the prince liked, what his family background was, or what he looked like.

Just so capricious.
