The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

This request is quite presumptuous for a master. Who would rashly go to someone else's house to inquire about the life and death of an aunt?

But Mr. Du, who was serving as the hall today, was of noble character. He only saw that Meng Wenyao did not forget his birth mother and Li Heng took pity on his fiancée. This made an old man with gray beard and hair almost moved to tears after hearing this.

It was not that he had never heard of it. No one in the civil or military court was willing to marry the sixth prince. When he heard that the concubine of the Meng family had entered the Chengming Palace, he thought that Meng Shangshu was just a random concubine.

Now it seems that this daughter of the Meng family is really pure and filial, and Meng Shangshu may not be a ruthless and opportunistic person.

He stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "I am old. As long as Meng Shangshu does not dislike me for meddling in my own business, I will definitely find out the news for you."

"Thank you, Master Taifu." Li Heng bowed and saluted, with a slight smile on his lips.

After Du Taifu left the palace, he asked the groom to drive to the Meng Mansion.

When he used crutches to help the child cross the gate of Meng's mansion, Meng Shangshu had already trotted over to greet him.

"What kind of wind is this that brings you here, old lady?"

Meng Shangshu squeezed out the child and personally helped Mr. Du to go to the mansion.

"I'm passing by here and I'm thirsty. I want to ask for a bowl of tea." Mr. Du said casually.

"It's an honor for me to serve as a lowly official. Sir, please don't be dissatisfied with the fact that the tea here is not good."

After a few polite words, the two of them sat down separately.

Mr. Du picked up the tea cup and took a sip before getting down to business.

"I came here from the palace. I heard from His Highness the Sixth Prince that the Emperor will soon grant marriage to your daughter and His Highness. Your love is worried about her aunt. Your Highness is kind-hearted and begged me to come over and take a look."

Meng Shangshu, who was sitting upright, thought that Mr. Du, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, had something important to do, but he didn't expect that the old man would come to the house in person to ask an aunt in the house.

He quickly said kindly: "Excuse me, old lady, please go there in person. Everything is fine with Aunt Liu."

After saying that, Meng Shangshu ordered people to invite Aunt Liu over. Although there were differences between men and women, the old lady was older and an elder, so Meng Shangshu was not that taboo.

Satisfied with Meng Shangshu's knowledge, Taifu Du smiled and said: "I am an old man, and I have nothing to do. It is rare to see the kindness of the Sixth Prince. He even personally took care of this small matter, so I dropped by to have a look."

Taifu Du was a mature man and had assisted three emperors. His casual remarks made Meng Shangshu go round and round in his mind.

The Sixth Prince started studying after he came out of the cold palace. There were several Taifus who taught him. Why did the Sixth Prince only ask Taifu Du for help? Why was Taifu Du willing to go through the muddy waters of the Sixth Prince?

In just a few moments, Meng Shangshu had already thought of countless possibilities. He seemed to have said unintentionally: "I heard that His Highness the Sixth Highness had been abandoned in the cold palace for many years. When he came out, the Emperor asked several Taifus to take turns teaching him. I don't know what His Highness the Sixth Highness is learning now. How about it, can you catch up with the progress of other princes?"

If other ministers asked this question, it would inevitably be suspected of wantonly inquiring into the royal family's privacy. However, Meng Shangshu is now the direct father-in-law of the sixth prince, so when he asked this question, he seemed to be caring about the younger generation. Taifu Du was also willing to give some advice on this matter. Discuss two sentences with Meng Shangshu.

"Although the Sixth Prince has been idle for ten years, he is studious and inquisitive. Although he is quite different from other princes now, but with me here, given time, the Sixth Prince will not be worse than anyone else."

Taifu Du only talked about academic matters, but when Meng Shangshu heard the words "I am here", he suddenly guessed that Taifu Du wanted to support the sixth prince to ascend to the throne?

He remembered that Taifu Du had gone through three dynasties and never participated in the fight for heirs among the princes. Now at such an old age, he was willing to go out to teach the sixth prince and even said that he would protect the sixth prince.

If it wasn't for supporting the Sixth Prince, then it was because the Emperor had some special explanation in private.

Meng Shangshu's exquisite heart turned eight hundred times, and said sincerely: "The emperor has favored me, and my daughter can marry the sixth prince. I should do my best to repay the emperor's favor. From now on, if the sixth prince is driven, he will ask the boss. The gang of people serves as a communication channel.”

Taifu Du thought for a moment that he had heard wrongly. The court had not yet established a prince, and the emperor was most taboo about the prince contacting the courtiers.

Now it is clear that Meng Shangshu wants to contact the Sixth Prince?

Not only that, but he also asked a Taifu who was ranked among the Three Lords to personally take the lead?

This Meng Shangshu seems to be quite smart. Are you not afraid that he will turn around and go to the palace to accuse him of forming a clique for personal gain?

But in a flash, he thought of the gentle and polite Sixth Prince in the palace. His heart softened and he pretended to be confused: "Everything is fine with the Sixth Prince. The Emperor has not treated him badly. There is no need for Meng Shangshu to do things. Meng Shangshu has done his own thing well. Just cause trouble to the Sixth Prince."

Taifu Du's polite refusal did not achieve the desired effect. After hearing this, Meng Shangshu thought that the sixth prince already had his own men and looked down upon his father-in-law.

He thought that if the sixth prince really wanted to seize the throne, he would be the head of the country in the future. Could Taifu Du remind him not to hinder the sixth prince?

"When doing errands for His Majesty, I never dare to make any mistakes. Sir, please tell the Sixth Prince to rest assured."

Taifu Du was speechless for a moment. He just helped the Sixth Prince to pass a message, but he actually helped the Sixth Prince win over an important minister from the Sixth Ministry. What kind of thing is this?

After a while, Aunt Liu came over, saluted Mrs. Du, and then took out another package.

"Sir, since the second young lady entered the palace, I don't know if she can have enough to eat or whether she can wear warm clothes. These are some clothes I made myself, and I asked the old lady to help give them to the second young lady."

Mr. Du narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Sangyu for a while, then asked doubtfully, "Are you Liu Qingping's daughter?"

Suddenly hearing her father being mentioned, Liu Sangyu's eyes instantly turned red. She said, "It's my father. He is still in Ninggu Pagoda."

Hearing this, Master Du sighed heavily, shook his head and said, "More than ten years have passed in a flash."

He patted the package again and said, "Don't worry, the stuff will be brought to you."

Here, Mrs. Du left the Meng Mansion, and over there, Mrs. Hu already knew the whole story.

Ever since Meng Wenyao fell ill last time, she had been confined to her room. She anxiously discussed with the considerate maid: "Now that this damn girl has entered the palace, it will be great. The emperor is about to grant her a marriage. I wonder if Lan'er will What did Concubine Bian say?"

"Madam, please relax. The noble concubine will never give up on the eldest lady in order to win over the master. Maybe when you wake up tomorrow morning, two identical marriage decrees will arrive at our house."

Mrs. Hu felt a little better after the maid's persuasion, and she asked, "Miss, are you still kneeling in the ancestral hall?"

"Yes ma'am."

The maid was a little frustrated and said: "The second young lady has a strange illness. The master insists that it is the eldest lady who did it. He makes the eldest lady go to the ancestral hall and kneel for two hours every day."
