"Xu'er, you are here. Come to grandma." When Zhao Xu came in, Empress Dowager Gao waved to him very amiably.

He saluted the three of them calmly, walked to Gao's side, and his eyes fell on Meng Qingya.

She is indeed a dignified woman, Zhao Xu nodded inwardly.It's just...he really didn't feel anything.

Zhu's attention to his son far surpassed those two.She could tell at a glance that her son didn't like this girl from the Meng family.

Sighing, how can she be in charge of this kind of thing?This is the person whom the Empress Dowager is optimistic about, and they cannot allow their mother and son to speak their beaks.

Although Zhao Xu was dissatisfied, he didn't say it publicly.After all, his current power can't compete with the Gao family, so it's better to keep a low profile and wait until the end.

"Are you here alone?" Gao asked gently.

Meng Qingya bowed her knees and said: "Going back to the Empress Dowager, my servant brought a child from a relative's family over."

Lan Pei is still young, before she gets her brother's consent, she doesn't intend to expose him to these people now.

She remembered what her brother had said to her the night before she left.A gleam of light flashed in Meng Qingya's drooping eyelashes.

"If there is nothing else, you can also bring the child in to play." Gao Shi nodded.

After talking for a while, she ordered the maid to take Meng Qingya down for dinner.Then he smiled and said to Zhao Xu: "Xu'er, what do you think of the girl from the Meng family?"

Zhao Xu's expression remained unchanged: "The imperial grandmother's vision is really extraordinary, and the girl from the Meng family is very nice."

Empress Dowager Xiang also smiled and said: "This girl is naturally excellent. It's a pity that she is a few years older than you, but it is also good for this woman to be a few years older, and she will definitely be able to take care of the entire harem for you in the future."

She turned to look at Zhu Shi: "Sister Zhu, what do you think?"

Zhu's embarrassment: "Too...the Empress Dowager loves Xu'er so much, of course the queen chosen for him is a good one."

Seeing his mother's frightened appearance, Zhao Xu also had displeasure in his eyes.

But he quickly restrained his emotions: "This marriage, let's settle it like this."

Mrs. Gao nodded: "From that day on, the girls from the Meng family will be allowed to enter the palace once every ten days. In a few years, you should get married, so you can cultivate your relationship earlier."

"Grandson obeys."

When Meng Qingya returned to the Meng Mansion, Lan Pei was having dinner.

"Cousin, you're back. Are you hungry? Would you like to have something to eat with me?" Lan Pei said vaguely while grabbing a piece of pastry until his face was covered in scum.

Meng Qingya hilariously took out the handkerchief and wiped the dregs on his face: "I'm not hungry. Eat slowly, no one will dare to snatch it from you."

"Oh." Lan Pei tried hard to finish off the piece of pastry, and then ordered people to remove it.

"Cousin, are you tired?" He noticed that Meng Qingya seemed to be very tired, so he asked with concern.

"It's okay." Meng Qingya smiled wryly, "It's true that not everyone can stay in this palace."

No matter how good the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother were to her, she did not dare to take it lightly.Now they are still in the stage of scrutinizing her. If she takes a wrong step, then don't think about the queen's position.

Meng Qingya didn't have to enter the palace.But now that the imperial decree has been issued, if she can't be a queen, then she can only be a concubine.And she is older than the emperor, so she will not be favored as a queen, so she still has status.Became a concubine... then there was really nothing left.

Lan Pei patted her on the shoulder vaguely and comforted her: "Cousin, don't be afraid! I will protect you when I grow up!"
