Chapter 182 Entering the Palace
Chapter 182 Entering the Palace
Yue Weiwei first poured tea for the Taiwei's wife, then sat down carefully.
"Mother, you look very good!"
As soon as she came up, she started to flatter him. The wife of the Grand Commandant smiled softly while holding the teacup: "Minglu, you have a good relationship with Hengan. As an elder, I am of course happy to see it!"
Yue Weiwei smiled and said, "Mother, Minglu has been working hard and has achieved some results in the past few days. I hope I didn't disappoint you."
The wife of the Grand Marshal put down the teacup and patted the back of her hand: "Of course not, Heng'an is a good boy and a good match for you. This is how it should be between husband and wife. Managing the relationship is more important than anything else!"
Yue Weiwei quickly bowed her head and said modestly: "Mother, I am also learning from you. I have always envied the way you and father treat each other with respect."
The Taiwei's wife covered her face and smiled softly: "You have such a clever mouth, it makes people like you!"
"Mother, please don't make fun of me for being so... clumsy."
Seeing her shy and timid look, the wife of the Grand Commandant suddenly felt envious: "Seeing the younger generation reminds me of my youth, when Aunt An had just entered the Grand Commandant's Mansion and I was still young. I was so angry!"
"Mother, your health is the most important thing! Minglu feels deeply ashamed for bringing up such a long-lost memory of yours!"
The wife of the Grand Commandant comforted her: "What's the big deal? You've already come here. I think you've done a great job!"
"Mother, I have an unreasonable request, but I don't know if I should say it or not."
The Taiwei's wife was very calm and only asked, "What's the matter?"
"Mother, Miss Lin is pregnant and has been staying in Zhuyu Pavilion. I'm afraid it will be bad for the fetus!"
"Oh! I know that, too!"
The Grand Marshal's wife stood up excitedly, and Yue Weiwei hurriedly followed.
"This woman dared to lie about her pregnancy and treat the rules as a joke. Who can tolerate her?"
Yue Weiwei stepped forward to support the wife of the Grand Marshal and quickly persuaded her: "Mother, don't be angry. Miss Lin is spoiled and arrogant. It's all because Minglu is useless. But the child in her belly is very important, and the eldest master also attaches great importance to it."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Mrs. Taiwei threw the question to Yue Weiwei, who suddenly had an idea: "In order for the fetus to develop well, the mother can consider giving her a certain amount of freedom, such as limiting the time she can go out during the day."
"It is a feasible method. It can not only relieve Lin Yuan's loneliness, but also ease Heng An's heart!"
Yue Weiwei was playing both sides, but she was afraid that it would bring disaster to herself. The wife of the Grand Commandant was a little worried: "Although you have earned the reputation of a good wife in front of Heng'an, Lin Yuan knows Heng'an's mind very well. Doing this is tantamount to letting a tiger go back to the mountain. Have you thought about the consequences?"
Yue Weiwei's heart tightened. She didn't expect that the Grand Marshal's wife had seen through everything.
"Mother, what you said is true. Minglu was not thoughtful enough."
"I know you have a kind heart and are only concerned about Heng'an's feelings and the child's health. Let's put this matter on hold. Lin Yuan is still young and it's not easy for her to move around. Let her stay in Zhuyu Pavilion and take good care of her baby!"
"It's all up to mother!"
Yue Weiwei's plan failed and she felt a little disappointed. However, she felt a little comforted when she thought that the Grand Marshal's wife would not force her to submit and that this trip was not in vain.
At this time, the Grand Marshal walked towards the front hall with a happy face: "Minglu, there is a message from the palace, Concubine Rong invites you to enter the palace!"
I've heard Nanny Li mention Concubine Rong. She is the sister of the Grand Marshal and her status in the palace is second only to the Queen.
Yue Weiwei was puzzled as to why she was summoned into the palace.
"Noble Concubine Rong likes you. She even asked about you at the Queen's birthday banquet last time!"
When Mrs. Taiwei explained, she remembered something Nanny Li had mentioned: Imperial Concubine Rong celebrated Minglu's wedding despite being ill, and it seemed that she was extremely satisfied with her niece-in-law.
"Father, when can I go to the palace to visit the Imperial Concubine?"
"You will enter the palace tomorrow morning. Uncle Liu will drive you there."
After leaving Chengyun Courtyard, Yue Weiwei felt mixed emotions. She thought of the face of Li Yancheng, Marquis of Xicheng. If all the royal relatives were like him, the palace gates would be filled with jackals and tigers.
She took a deep breath, relaxed herself, and prayed silently in her heart.
"Go ahead to dangers!"
Qian Yue was looking for Yue Weiwei and happened to see this scene. She was shocked and said, "Miss, why are you talking so weird?"
"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to visit the Imperial Concubine. Do you think everyone in the palace looks like Li Yancheng?"
Qian Yue was shocked when she heard this: "The palace has many rules. You can go with Nanny Li. She can remind you at any time and help you make fewer mistakes!"
"It is said that you cannot make mistakes in the palace! I hope my life won't be in danger if I go into the palace!"
Qian Yue couldn't bear to hear discouraging words, and waved her hand quickly: "Miss, don't talk nonsense. When you enter the palace, talk less, do less, and observe more. You won't lose your life."
Yue Weiwei agreed: "I will go to Li Ma now to ask for help at the last minute, it will be very useful!"
The news that Yue Weiwei would enter the palace tomorrow soon reached the general's mansion.
When Li Hengtu learned about this, his heart beat wildly involuntarily.
On Minglu's wedding day, Concubine Rong's unusual behavior made him uneasy!
That day, Concubine Rong was feeling unwell and went into the back house to take a rest, but she saw a burly man with a red face leaving in a hurry.
"Chaoyang, arrange for your men to be stationed on the road from the Taiwei Mansion to the palace gate. Be careful and watch out for any suspicious people or unusual situations on the road!"
Chaoyang was puzzled: "Sir, are you worried about Madam Ming's safety?"
"Just go and do it, don't ask."
Seeing that he was hesitant, Li Hengtu was displeased: "I will go to Yulou tomorrow, and you will do what I ask you to do!"
"Yes!"
Chaoyang received the order and quickly left the room to arrange for personnel.
