After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian brought Banxia and Tan'er to kowtow to the new queen.

Meng Qianqian's manners were impeccable, Banxia also performed quite well, but Tan'er seemed a bit of a sham.

Yao Qingluan said gently, "Mrs. Lu, please stand up quickly."

After the three of them stood up, Yao Qingluan's eyes fell on Tan'er's clever and cute little face: "You are Tan'er, right?"

Tan Er tilted her head: "The Queen knows?"

Yao Qingluan smiled and said, "His Majesty mentioned you last night, saying that your braised pork left without anyone eating it."

When talking about sad things, Tan Er immediately covered her face and burst into tears, without a single tear: "Oh, braised pork!"

The ladies and daughters present couldn't help laughing and covered their faces.

Yao Qingluan was also amused by Tan'er: "His Majesty has ordered that if you come today, you must eat before leaving."

Tan Er clenched his fist: "Long live His Majesty!"

Mrs. Xing was also there, and she waved to Meng Qianqian.

Meng Qianqian walked over.

As soon as I sat down, a faint sneer came from the opposite side.

Meng Qianqian raised her eyes and saw that it was the wife of the Marquis of Changning.

Lu Yuan is really good at predicting things.

It just so happened that I was in a bad mood today. If she insisted on walking into trouble, then it would not be my fault.

Meng Qianqian smiled faintly: "Madam Changning, do you have any opinion about His Majesty? How dare you mock His Majesty in public?"

The wife of the Earl of Changning said slowly, "When did I mock Your Majesty? Madam Lu, please don't spit blood at me."

Meng Qianqian said, "You just laughed at me, did you think I was deaf and couldn't hear you? What? Did my maid say something wrong? Is His Majesty's long live the emperor so funny?"

The wife of the Earl of Changning said with mockery in her eyes: "I am not laughing at your Majesty, but at your Governor's Office. You can't even afford a few pieces of braised pork. You have brought shame to the Imperial Palace."

Meng Qianqian curled her lips and said, "The Governor's Mansion is not as wealthy as the Changning Earl's Mansion. The positions of the three sons were donated, and at least tens of thousands of taels of silver were spent. Unlike my husband, he could only become the Grand Governor by relying on his own strength."

The wife of the Marquis Changning gave birth to three sons and one daughter, but none of them were promising.

Meng Qianqian's words hit the sore spot of Lady Changning.

The wife of the Marquis of Changning is the legitimate daughter of the Yao family and the aunt of the emperor. She never expected that there would come a day when her secrets would be exposed in public.

Her face turned blue and red, and she was extremely embarrassed and angry.

She stared at Meng Qianqian, glaring at her and said, "How did Lu Yuan get his position? Don't you know? A treacherous official who flatters the emperor has the nerve to show off here?"

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "My husband is good, so of course I have to show off. Besides, my husband is highly regarded by His Majesty and the Emperor. Does Lady Changning mean that His Majesty and the Emperor can't tell the difference between loyalty and treachery?"

"Mrs. Changning is so arrogant that she even criticized my father, the emperor!"

Accompanied by a cold rebuke, Princess Wanping, dressed in a goose yellow palace dress, walked into the main hall with her personal maid.

Lady Changning's face changed.

Princess Wanping bowed slightly to the queen, and everyone stood up and saluted her.

Princess Wanping sat down at the upper left and said coldly to the wife of the Marquis of Changning: "Lu Yuan is highly valued by my father. If you scold Lu Yuan, you are scolding my father."

Lady Changning quickly bowed and said, "I have spoken out of turn. Please forgive me, Princess!"

Princess Wanping snorted coldly, picked up the tea served by the palace maid, and ignored the wife of the Marquis of Changning.

Meng Qianqian noticed that there was also a graceful young girl who bowed and apologized to Princess Wanping together with Earl Changning.

"She is……"

Madam Xing said, "The daughter of the Changning Marquis's mansion, Tao Shiyu. Her original name was Yu, which means birds singing and flowers blooming. A Taoist priest read her fortune and said that she lacked water in the five elements, so he changed it to Yu, which means rain after a sunny day."

Meng Qianqian suddenly realized that it was her.

It is impossible for the Changning Marquis's Mansion to marry a concubine's daughter to the Xun family, so the only one can be Tao Shiyu.

Putting aside Tao Shiyu's character, as long as Meng Qianqian thought about the virtues of the wife of the Marquis of Changning, she really didn't want to become a relative of the Marquis of Changning.

Furthermore, Meng Qianqian seriously suspected that the person that Lady Changning had initially chosen was actually Xun Yu.

However, Xun Yu is going to marry a daughter of the Miao clan, so how could he be interested in a mere daughter of the Tao family?

Lady Changning had to settle for the second best and wanted to marry her daughter to Chen Long.

The whole capital city knows that Prime Minister Xun gave Chen Long to Princess Wanping as a bodyguard. As a result, Princess Wanping lost the bet with him, and Chen Long is now her bodyguard.

It is not surprising that the Governor's Office and the Prime Minister's Office are at odds, while the Changning Marquis' Office and the Prime Minister's Office share the same hatred for the enemy.

In addition, Lady Changning probably also regarded herself as Tao Shiyu's imaginary enemy.

"Your Majesty, I have copied a Buddhist scripture at home and would like to present it to you."

The wife of the Minister of Rites stepped out to smooth things over and change the subject.

When the emperor and empress got married, civil and military officials did not need to give any money as gift, but they would present wedding gifts to the empress when they met her.

In order to put an end to bribery during the reign of the retired emperor, no one was allowed to accept anything worth more than two taels of silver.

Ladies and daughters cannot give gold, silver, or jewelry as gifts, so they can only give their sincerity.

The palace maid presented the Buddhist scriptures to Yao Qingluan.

Yao Qingluan opened it and showed satisfaction: "Miss Li is thoughtful."

Miss Li stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Queen, for the compliment."

Next, everyone presented their own handmade gifts, such as round fans, paintings, sachets... The daughter of the agricultural family of the Ministry of Industry presented the melons she grew herself, which caused everyone to laugh.

What Tao Shiyu gave was a sachet. The dried flowers were dried by herself and had the effect of calming the mind and soothing the spirit. The sachet was also embroidered by her stitch by stitch. The pair of mandarin ducks on it were very delicate, even the feathers were clearly visible, and the meaning was also very good.

Her needlework was admired by everyone.

Soon it was Meng Qianqian's turn.

When Banxia opened the box and took it out with her hands, everyone thought a kitten was about to jump out. But when they looked closely, they saw that it was actually a white cat fan.

Not only that, when Banxia turned the fan over, everyone discovered that there was a graceful young girl on the other side.

The wife of the Minister of Rites exclaimed, "Double-sided embroidery!"

Yao Qingluan glanced at the palace maid.

The palace maid understood and immediately took out the fan and presented it to her.

Yao Qingluan recognized at a glance that the girl on the round fan was herself, and the cat was Xuetuan, whom she raised at the Yao family.

Mother said that her cousin didn't like cats and didn't allow her to bring Xuetuan into the palace.

This round fan comforted her longing for Xuetuan.

The wife of the Minister of Rites asked with a smile: "Empress, we have only heard of double-sided embroidery, but have never seen it with our own eyes. Can you..."

Yao Qingluan nodded and said to the palace maid, "Take it for all the ladies to see."

Then he said to Meng Qianqian, "Madam Lu, I like your gift very much."

Tao Shiyu's sachet was overshadowed by the fan, and she felt a little unconvinced. When the round fan was passed to her, she instantly discovered the flaw.

"Madam Lu, where did this fan come from?"

“I embroidered it myself.”

Meng Qianqian said.

Tao Shiyu smiled: "Madam Lu, I am not talented, but I have learned from my master for a few years and know a little about needlework. This fan is obviously embroidered in the style of Yanyu Pavilion."

"What? Misty Rain Pavilion? Did she buy her fan from Misty Rain Pavilion?"

"Isn't this cheating? We all embroidered it ourselves."

"Why is she like this..."

The daughters were whispering to each other, and their eyes changed when they looked at Meng Qianqian.

Madam Xing knew Meng Qianqian's character, and she would never lie: "Miss Tao, everything must be based on evidence."

Tao Shiyu said: "My master is Wu Xiu Niang from Yanyu Pavilion, the direct disciple of the Great Boss. I will not mistake something from Yanyu Pavilion!"

When they heard that her master came from Yanyu Pavilion, they believed her words even more.
