at the same time.

The young inner eunuch with delicate features was holding a young white bird singing "chirp" in his arms, hiding in a place where no one could see, neither standing nor sitting.

Shen Cheng had sharp eyes, and as soon as he exited the main hall, he caught a glimpse of his apprentice in the corner with a bitter face.

Especially after seeing the familiar little bird, Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"Quanzi! Why are you in a daze?" He took a step forward and patted the back of the head of the little eunuch with his chubby palm.

Shen Quan's body trembled, and he was slightly relieved when he heard the voice of his master.

Pointing to a ball of white fluff in his arms, Shen Quan said with a mournful face, "Master, what should we do about this?"

"Where did it come from?"

"Rui...His Royal Highness Rui forced it to me," Shen Quan drooped the corner of his mouth listlessly, "Tell me to take care of it. Master, what should I do?"

Shen Cheng's eyes lit up, and he said "Hey" excitedly: "Silly boy! Your luck has come!"

"Ah?" Shen Quan was still confused.

"Ah shit!" Shen Cheng felt quite resentful, "Silly boy, don't stand around here! Hurry up! Be quicker with your hands and feet!"

"Master...Master, why do you want me to hurry up?"

Shen Cheng slapped Shen Quan on the back of the head again, making Shen Quan grin his teeth, but the baby bird in his hand never let go.

"Boy! I have been teaching you for so many years! I have no sense of sight! Didn't you see that the bird's leg is broken? Go and connect it! Find the master who treats birds and beasts in Yuyuan, or even if it is too old Hospital offerings are also fine, don’t care what tricks you use, heal this bird’s leg for me. Then feed me good ingredients..."

"Oh..." Shen Quan hurriedly agreed.

"Oh shit! Hurry up!"

Shen Quan ran away with the bird in his arms.

Shen Cheng was so excited that he rubbed his hands together, thinking that a foolish boy and a foolish person have a foolish fortune, isn't this, a big fortune fell out of thin air?

Thinking that the apprentice he brought up with his own hands is about to have a bright future, Shen Cheng also feels that his face is radiant.

Inside the hall.

Meng Wanting listened to Jing Yan's "teaching", and her heart was moved, and she saw Jing Jiayue who was still kneeling on the gold brick floor, so she pleaded with Jing Yan in a soft voice: "Queen, the concubine knows Yue'er when she looks at Yueer. Wrong, little man, don't hurt your knee again, it's a lifetime illness..."

Hearing her humble tone, Jing Yan looked down at his downcast niece, feeling distressed, so he asked, "Yue'er, do you know you're wrong?"

Jing Jiayue had already been knocked out by the matter of "accompanying the prince to study", she was still resentful, her mind was in chaos, how could she care about "knowing the mistake but not knowing the mistake"?

She muttered the word "um" and stopped talking.

Jing Yan knew that disciplining such urchins was not a day's work, and he didn't want to be too fussy with her, so he said softly, "Get up now. It's best to go home with your mother and get ready. After a month and a half, I will come to the palace to accompany you. Ah Rui is studying and practicing martial arts, this is also a good opportunity for you to learn."

Jing Yan raised his chin slightly, Shi Mo understood, took a step forward, and helped Jing Jiayue up.

Jing Jiayue's eyes turned red when she heard her aunt's words and thought about her "miserable" future.

She raised her head to meet her mother's concerned gaze, and felt even more aggrieved. She rushed a few steps with her calves and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Meng Wanting couldn't care less about anything else. She stretched out her arms and held her in her arms. She couldn't help stroking the scar on her face, and asked her softly, "Does it hurt here?" Does it hurt there?"

Jing Yan has long been tired of seeing this scene of deep affection.She lightly picked up the teacup, sipped it carefully, but inadvertently saw the strangeness in Yun Rui's eyes.

As far back as he could remember, Yun Rui didn't know what his "mother" was, let alone enjoyed his mother's love.On weekdays, when she saw the children next door being cared for by her mother, she always turned her face away habitually and simply refused to look at them.

But at this moment, Meng Wanting's love for Jing Jiayue made her feel astringent, very uncomfortable, and suddenly thought that she was a "motherless child".Although she had a free and easy temper, she couldn't help the throbbing pain in her little heart, and she couldn't help showing a painful look on her face.

Jing Yan saw it in his eyes, and felt pity suddenly.She put down the teacup and waved to Yunrui.

"A Rui, come here!"

Yun Rui was startled, and walked towards her step by step.

There was still a distance of two or three feet from Jing Yan, Jing Yan leaned forward, pulled her over hurriedly, squeezed her small palm, and let her sit beside him.

With this action, not only Yun Rui was stunned, but even Meng Wanting stopped stroking her daughter's hand.

She glanced in disbelief at the two who looked like mother and daughter but didn't look like her, secretly surprised in her heart.

It seems that her sister-in-law of the queen really has feelings for this little doll?

She really didn't dare to ask which clan child this little baby was.That's a taboo in the royal family. Since the queen mother and empress didn't tell me that their lives are at stake, it's better for me not to talk too much.

but--

Meng Wanting glanced at Yun Rui's handsome face again.

girl!

Meng Wanting was suddenly shocked!

Chu Jun is a girl!

Why did she ignore this stubble?

They... they actually let a girl be the crown prince!

Queen Mother's idea?

Father-in-law know, right?

Will the elders in the DPRK agree?

What would the royal relatives in the clan think?

Meng Wanting felt dizzy for a while.She was startled to realize that she had discovered something extraordinary.

How could Jing Yan fail to notice how her sister-in-law hesitated to speak?

With a calm smile, Jing Yan opened his mouth first: "Sister-in-law, do you have something to say?"

Meng Wanting faltered for a while, then hesitated and said: "Chenqie... I have something to say, I don't know...whether I should say it or not."

Jing Yan smiled: "They are all from my own family, sister-in-law, but it doesn't matter."

Meng Wanting still hesitated and said: "Please forgive the concubine's recklessness first, the queen."

Jing Yan knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law just talk about it."

Meng Wanting looked at Yun Rui, pursed her lips, and finally said, "His Royal Highness is... a girl?"

When Jing Yan heard the words, he didn't rush to answer, but glanced over suddenly, as if he wanted to see Meng Wanting from head to toe, top to bottom.

With just one glance, Meng Wanting felt the hairs all over her body stand on end.She didn't dare to move, lest something bad happen to her, so she could only stalk her body and hold on.

Unexpectedly, Jing Yan didn't make things difficult for her, but said indifferently: "Of course it's a girl."

Meng Wanting was greatly relieved when she felt that her eyes were no longer focused on herself.

"But...but "The Legacy of Wu Zong"..." Meng Wanting didn't dare to continue.

Jing Yan glanced at her: "How about "The Legacy of Wu Zong"?"

Meng Wanting knew how powerful she was, the queen's sister-in-law, and she also faintly felt that she seemed to be following her way, so she simply broke her heart and said it happily.

"Didn't Emperor Wuzong say back then that only men can sit in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Moreover, Emperor Renzong also..."

Emperor Renzong also followed suit.

Meng Wanting did not continue, but waited for Jing Yan's answer.

Jing Yan seemed to have expected her to say these words long ago, and smiled meaninglessly: "Then sister-in-law thinks, compared with Emperor Gaozu, who is more respected than Emperor Wuzong or Emperor Renzong?"

"Naturally, Emperor Gaozu..."

Halfway through Meng Wanting's words, she already understood Jing Yan's deep meaning——

Emperor Gaozu was all women, so what is the "legacy" of Emperor Wuzong, or the "consistency" of Emperor Renzong?

How did Emperor Gaozu become the emperor, what kind of friendship Ziyang Zhenren's mother had with Gaozu, how did Emperor Wuzong let Gaozu pass on the throne to himself... These are all the secrets of the Yuwen family of the Great Zhou royal family.Even though the rumors spread among the people and there are many versions, but the truth is probably only known to the people in the Forbidden Palace.

Meng Wanting didn't dare to continue anymore, she was deeply afraid that if she really knew some hidden secrets of the royal family, she would be killed.

Seeing that she was silent, Jing Yan suddenly said: "I heard that my brother took in a new concubine the day before yesterday."

Meng Wanting shuddered.

The matter of Jing Heng taking a concubine is actually the most distressing thing for her.However, she was helpless.

Even though the husband and wife have been loving for nearly ten years, and she gave birth to the eldest granddaughter for the Jing family, she is a granddaughter after all, not a grandson.The Jing family, especially the young master Jing Heng, needed a boy to inherit the title.Her stomach is not up to par, even if Jing Heng loves her again, he has no choice but to take a concubine, hoping to give birth to a son to inherit the incense.

"Yes." Meng Wanting replied austerely.

Jing Yan sighed secretly, and said solemnly: "Don't sister-in-law want Yue'er to become a talent?"

"Yue'er has become a talent?" Meng Wanting was puzzled.

"For example..." Jing Yan said slowly, "Let Yue'er inherit the title of Duke of England."

Even if Meng Wanting was bold, she would never have imagined that she would say such words.

Let Yueer inherit the title of Duke of England——

Meng Wanting took a deep breath before suppressing her beating heart.

The idea was too bold, and too... seductive.

Except for her daughter's body, her Yue'er is inferior to the children of which aristocratic family?Why can't he inherit the title?Could it be that just because she is a daughter, no matter how good a character is, she has to be subdued by others?

Meng Wanting's heart was agitated, and all the arrogance of her youth seemed to be revived at that moment.

"Sister-in-law thinks it's a good idea for the empress to have female officials to assist her?" Jing Yan continued to lure.

Meng Wanting's eyes brightened: "Female minister..."

Jing Yan nodded, and said again: "Sister-in-law's younger brother is Meng Zhaohui, the Jiedu envoy of Yongzhou? When I was at home, I heard from my sister-in-law that you have a deep relationship with Master Meng..."

How smart is Meng Wanting?How can you not hear the meaning of "inviting to conspire with each other" in Jing Yan's words?

"Exactly! After the death of her parents, Hui'er only listened to me..."

The two stunning women saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes at this time.
