"Is this true?"
Lianyi pretended to be surprised.
"Of course it is true. The Ministry of Etiquette will draw up the guest list in the next two days."
The prince said with a smile.
“Your Highness, if you had told me earlier, I would have sent a letter to my family to ask them to come to the 100-day banquet of the three children. Since the child was born, I have only received a letter from my family. , I haven’t seen the children yet!”
Ripple said with some resentment.
"Lianyi, don't worry, I have taken all this into consideration, because at that time I was not sure whether your body could be recuperated. I couldn't let your relatives see you in a sick state. Wouldn't they be more worried? Worried.
Now that you are looking better and can take care of the child in person, I have thought about organizing a hundred-day feast for the child.
You can send a letter to your family now, even if you can't make it. The hundred-day banquet doesn’t matter, just treat it as if I’m here to visit you.”
The prince explained patiently as if I was thinking about you.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for being considerate of my concubine's pain of homesickness. Since I had a child, I can better understand the difficulty of being a mother, so I am even more grateful for the kindness my parents have given me in raising me."
Ripples left the embrace of the prince. , bowed politely, and said half-truthfully with red eyes.
"Okay, this is a good thing, but why did it make you red-eyed? You are a mother, you can't lose money, the children will laugh at you."
The prince smiled and coaxed Rianyi, and a few words made Rianyi smile. The two chatted for a while, and then Ripple led the prince to see the three treasures.
On the third day after the prince told Ripples, the Palace Department of Rites sent a message to the families of officials above the fourth rank in the imperial city, and six days later, a 100-day banquet for the three emperors' grandchildren was held in the palace.
The second prince and the third prince gathered together at this time, holding the post in their hands, a flash of light flashed in their eyes. It really took no effort. They were worried that they could not find a legitimate reason to enter the palace, and now the perfect opportunity came to their door. .
"Let him quibble for a few days. After he loses his child and his position, we will see who is the final winner."
The second prince said gloomily.
The third prince on the side did not answer the conversation, but just pointed at the post in front of him, thoughtfully.
The two of them joined forces just to bring down the common enemy, the prince. As for who can take that position after the prince falls, that is another matter.
The two of them had their own thoughts, but they each started arranging manpower. As the Hundred Days Banquet approached, the palace became lively both inside and outside the palace.
When General Meng, who was far away in the border town, learned that his "daughter" had given birth to three children for the prince, he didn't know what expression to make. Although his "daughter" was dying for a time, he finally made it through for the sake of his children. The ghost gate is now regarded as having a place in the palace.
After that, it was about the invitation to the 100-day banquet. The person who sent the letter relayed Ripple's words:
"The daughter misses her parents very much. She knows that her father is guarding the border and cannot leave, and her mother's body is also experiencing severe pain. If you can't afford the turbulence, can you let your second brother come to the imperial city to visit your daughter? You don't have to be in a hurry. You can just arrive before autumn."
After hearing the message, General Meng and his wife sent the messenger. After going to rest first, the two of them read the letter, and then General Meng discovered that there was something fishy in the letter.
Although the whole letter is full of Lianyi telling her about the hardships of giving birth and missing her family, the second word in these sentences of different lengths is "There are changes in the imperial city, so prepare early!"< br>
The only change that General Meng could think of was the change of the throne. He walked around the study room twice before saying to his wife:
"Let Shen'er go to the imperial city. , With a team of a hundred people, we must have first-hand information."
"Husband, this is a royal battle, and we are not allowed to participate."
Mrs. Meng frowned.
"It's not that we won't participate if we don't participate. After all, our 'daughter' is married to the prince. If the prince really cannot control the overall situation, it will inevitably affect us, so we must be prepared."
"She is not our daughter, just give her up when the time comes!"
Mrs. Meng said very simply. This woman bore her daughter's name and enjoyed the treatment that her daughter should enjoy. In the end, the Meng family had to cover for each other, which she did not want to see.
"Madam is confused, even if we have to give up, we must be fully prepared, otherwise we will be guilty of deceiving the emperor, and the royal family will definitely hold our Meng family accountable, and we have an excuse. Take back the military power in my hands.
Madam, you are from the imperial city. You should know better than me. If the Meng family loses military power, they will be like tigers with their teeth pulled out. The emperor can deal with us at any time. Even if the Meng family has no intention of turning back, it is our fault that our achievements have shaken the master. .
Since suppressing the Qianglang tribe, the emperor has begun to re-employ civil servants and inhibit the promotion of generals in recent years. Do you think I don’t want to completely eliminate the Qianglang tribe and then return to the countryside?
The reason why the emperor did not issue the order was to let the Qianglang clan contain me and the Meng family army. "
General Meng sighed, sat on the chair, and told his wife what he was unwilling to tell his wife before.
"This"
Mrs. Meng was also a little surprised. She didn't expect that it was so deeply involved.
"That's all, one wrong step and another wrong step. Since we started it, there is no turning back. My husband will make arrangements."
Mrs. Meng waved her hand and left the study.
General Meng was silent for a long time and called his second son to the study.
"Shen'er, tomorrow you will lead an elite team of a hundred people to disperse to the imperial city, leaving twenty people with you. You are going to the imperial city to attend the 100-day banquet of the three emperors' grandchildren, and to visit your little sister."
General Meng ordered.
“But there has been a change in the imperial city?”
“Yes, Ripple has sent news back, you have to be careful.”
“My son knows.”
That night, Meng Guangshen left the border town with his people.
On the day of the 100-day banquet, Lianyi dressed up. After dressing herself up carefully, she took her three children to Fengqi Palace to pay her respects to the queen.
The queen smiled and looked at Ripple, who was becoming more and more beautiful like a flower. Her eyes flashed. After praising her, she gave gifts to the three children, and then asked Ripple to take the three children to the palace banquet. Rest, the guests for the banquet will arrive soon.
The three children have to show their faces in front of the guests, so that Lianyi's mission is completed, and then she will take the children back to the East Palace.
The royal children are precious, and Lianyi is just going through the motions with them.
When Lianyi entered the palace banquet with her three children, the emperor hugged the children one by one and named his three grandchildren. Everyone in the room congratulated them.
The three babies were relatively cooperative, accepting everyone's looks with a smile, and spitting on the emperor's face before being taken away by the nannies.
After leaving the main hall where the palace banquet was held, Lianyi immediately asked everyone to speed up and return to the East Palace.
Under Lianyi’s urging, the group of people almost jogged back to the East Palace.
“Lock it!”
Lianyi gave the first order after entering the East Palace.
The eunuch in charge of the East Palace was not surprised when he heard Lianyi's order. He just waved his hand and asked the people around him to close the door, while he stayed in the main hall.
Lianyi took the three children into the dormitory. This time, despite the objections of the three nannies, she forcefully kept the children with her.
Boys, see you tomorrow~
