Chapter 240 Show off your husband
Meng Qianqian took Pinellia ternata and Tan'er to bow down to the new queen.
Meng Qianqian's manners were impeccable, and Banxia acted in a decent manner, but Tan'er was a bit dishonest.
Yao Qingluan said warmly: "Mrs. Lu, please get back on your feet quickly."
After the three of them got up, Yao Qingluan's eyes fell on Tan'er's cute and clever face: "You are Tan'er, right?"
Tan'er tilted her head: "The Queen knows, right?"
Yao Qingluan smiled: "His Majesty mentioned you last night, saying that your braised pork left without eating anyone."
When Tan'er mentioned something sad, she immediately covered her face and cried without a single tear: "The braised pork is dripping from my forehead!"
The ladies and daughters present couldn't help laughing and hid their faces.
Yao Qingluan was also amused by Tan'er: "Your Majesty has ordered that if you come today, you will be allowed to eat before leaving."
Tan'er clenched her fist: "Long live your Majesty!"
Mrs. Xing was also there, and she waved to Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian walked over.
As soon as he sat down, there was a vague sneer from the opposite side.
Meng Qianqian raised her eyes and saw that it was Mrs. Chang Ningbo.
Lu Yuan is really good at predicting things.
Coincidentally, she was not in a good mood today. If she had to hit the gun, she would have no fault of her own.
Meng Qianqian smiled lightly: "Mrs. Chang Ningbo, do you have any objections to His Majesty? Are you actually mocking His Majesty in public?"
Mrs. Chang Ningbo said slowly: "When have I ever ridiculed Your Majesty? Mrs. Lu, please don't slander anyone."
Meng Qianqian said: "You laughed just now, did you think I was deaf and couldn't hear you? What? My maid said it wrong? Is Long Live Your Majesty so funny?"
Mrs. Chang Ningbo's eyes were full of mockery: "What I am laughing at is not your Majesty, but your Governor's Mansion. You can't even afford a few pieces of braised pork. You are so embarrassed that you have to come to the palace."
Meng Qianqian curled her lips: "The Governor's Mansion is naturally not as wealthy as Chang Ningbo's Mansion. The three sons' offices were all donated, costing at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. Unlike my husband, who can only rely on his strength to become the official. Go to the Grand Governor."
Mrs. Chang Ningbo gave birth to three sons and one daughter, all of whom were useless.
Meng Qianqian's words stung Madam Chang Ningbo in the foot.
Mrs. Chang Ningbo was the legitimate daughter of the Yao family and the emperor's aunt. She never expected that one day her shortcomings would be exposed in public.
Her face turned blue and red, and she was extremely embarrassed.
She glared at Meng Qianqian and said angrily: "Don't you know how Lu Yuan's official came here? A traitorous official who flatters and seduces the Lord has the nerve to show off here?"
Meng Qianqian raised her eyebrows and said: "My husband is a good man, of course I want to show off. Besides, my husband is highly respected by His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor. Does Mrs. Chang Ning's remarks mean that the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty cannot distinguish between loyalty and treachery?"
"Mrs. Chang Ningbo spoke so loudly that she criticized my princess's father!"
Accompanied by a cold scolding, Princess Wanping, dressed in goose-yellow palace attire, walked into the main hall with her personal female officer.
Mrs. Chang Ningbo's expression changed.
Princess Wanping bowed lightly to the queen, and everyone stood up to salute her.
After Princess Wanping sat down on the left side, she said coldly to Mrs. Chang Ningbo: "Lu Yuan is highly respected by my father. If you scold Lu Yuan, you are scolding my father."
Mrs. Chang Ningbo quickly saluted: "My wife made a mistake, please forgive me, princess!"
Princess Wanping snorted coldly, picked up the tea offered by the palace maid, and ignored Mrs. Chang Ningbo.
Meng Qianqian noticed that there was a girl with graceful temperament who was bowing to Princess Wanping to apologize with Uncle Chang Ning.
"she is…"
Mrs.
Meng Qianqian suddenly realized that it was her.
It was impossible for the Changning House to marry a concubine to the Xun family, so the only choice was Tao Shiyu.
Leaving aside Tao Shiyu's character, as long as she thinks of Mrs. Changning's virtue, Meng Qianqian really does not want to become an in-law with Mrs. Changning.
Furthermore, Meng Qianqian seriously suspected that the person Mrs. Chang Ningbo fell in love with in the first place was actually Xun Yu. However, Xun Yu is marrying the daughter of Miao Jiang, so how can he think so highly of the mere daughter of the Tao family?
Mrs. Changningbo then retreated to the next best thing and wanted to marry her daughter to Chenlong.
Everyone in the capital knew that Xun Xiangguo gave Chenlong to Princess Wanping as a bodyguard. As a result, Princess Wanping lost a bet with him, and Chenlong is now her bodyguard.
The Governor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are at odds with each other, and it is not surprising that the Changning Bo Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion share the same hatred.
In addition, Mrs. Chang Ningbo probably regarded herself as Tao Shiyu's imaginary enemy.
"The Queen, my daughter has copied a Buddhist scripture at home and wants to present it to the Queen."
The wife of the Minister of Etiquette came forward to smooth things over and divert the topic.
During the wedding of the emperor and empress, the civil and military officials do not need to pay with their family members, but they will send wedding gifts to the queen when they have an audience with the queen.
During the reign of the Supreme Emperor, in order to put an end to bribery, any item worth more than two taels of silver was not allowed to be accepted.
The ladies and daughters cannot give gold, silver and jewels as gifts, they can only give sincerity.
The palace maid presented the Buddhist scriptures to Yao Qingluan.
Yao Qingluan opened it and showed a satisfied look: "Miss Li is interested."

Miss Li stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliment."
Next, everyone presented congratulatory gifts made by themselves, such as fans, paintings, sachets... The daughter of a farmer from the Ministry of Industry gave melons grown by herself, which made everyone laugh.
Tao Shiyu gave a sachet. She dried the dried flowers herself, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the energy. She also embroidered the sachet with each stitch. The pair of mandarin ducks on it are very delicate, even the feathers are clearly defined, and the meaning is also Excellent.
Her female beauty was appreciated by everyone.
Soon it was Meng Qianqian's turn.
When Banxia opened the box and took it out with her hands, everyone thought a cat cub was about to jump out. But when they took a closer look, it turned out to be a white cat fan.
Not only that, when Banxia turned the fan over, everyone discovered that this side turned out to be a slim girl.
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 the round fan and presented it to her.
Yao Qingluan recognized at a glance that the **** the fan was herself, and the cat was the snow ball she raised in Yao's family.
My mother said that her cousin didn’t like cats and she was not allowed to bring the snowball into the palace.
This ball fan comforted her longing for the snow ball.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites smiled and asked: "Empress, we have only heard about double-sided embroidery and 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, "Mrs. Lu, I like your gift very much."
Tao Shiyu's sachet was overshadowed by the contrast, and she felt a little unconvinced. When the round fan reached her side, she instantly discovered the flaw.
"Mrs. Lu, may I ask where this fan comes from?"
"I embroidered it myself."
Meng Qianqian said.
Tao Shiyu smiled: "Mrs. Lu, Shiyu is not talented, but he has studied with the master for several years and knows a little bit about female embroidery. This fan looks like the embroidery method of Yanyu Pavilion."
"What? Yanyu Pavilion? Did Yanyu Pavilion buy her fan?"
"Isn't this cheating? We all embroidered it ourselves."
"Why is she like this..."
The daughters whispered, and their eyes changed when they looked at Meng Qianqian.
Mrs. Xing understands Meng Qianqian's character, and she will never commit fraud: "Miss Tao, everything requires evidence."
Tao Shiyu said: "My master is Wu Xiu Niang from Yanyu Pavilion, a direct disciple of the Dadong family. I will not mistake anything from Yanyu Pavilion!"
Once they heard that she was studying in Yanyu Pavilion, everyone believed her words even more.
