Afternoon, Meng Mansion.

Mrs. Meng sat upright on a chair, holding a cup of tea in both hands and sipping it gently. Her every move exuded the nobility and elegance of a lady from a noble family.

When she heard clearly what her child said, she stood up suddenly and walked forward excitedly to confirm it again and again.

"Tiantian, did you hear correctly?"

"The Queen really wants me to help her?"

"Absolutely true."

Meng Tian replied helplessly, then supported his mother's shoulders and let her sit back in the chair.

Mrs. Meng clapped her hands in joy, and the dignity on her face was gone, leaving only complacency and pride.

"That's great! Those people must be envious of me."

When His Majesty first established the Queen, the ladies of the upper class learned that the Queen was just the daughter of a merchant.

They were puzzled and secretly looked down on him in their hearts. After all, in a dynasty with clear class divisions, what mattered was a match between people of equal social status.

However, after the Queen made a series of achievements that would be remembered forever, everyone was speechless and their attitudes changed drastically.

From then on, no one dared to look down on the queen, and some even vied to please her and make friends with her.

Unfortunately, the queen lived in seclusion and did not like banquets, so no ministerial woman could catch her eye.

She didn't expect that she would have the good fortune to win the favor of the Queen. How could she not be overjoyed?

"Mother, the Queen is asking you for help, not inviting you to a feast or entertainment."

"I know. Doesn't that just prove that Her Majesty trusts me?"

"Okay, as long as you are happy, mother."

Looking at his mother who had a lively temper, Meng Tian pinched his brows in distress, feeling a little worried.

I just hope that my mother won’t mess up what the Empress has asked her to do.

After finishing the business, Meng Tian planned to go to the study, but just as he stood up, he was stopped by Mrs. Meng.

"Tiantian, now that the Xiongnu have been eliminated, it's time for you to start a family."

"Mother, don't worry, don't worry. Isn't my brother married yet?"

Faced with the pressure to get married, Meng Tian's face turned bitter and he refused awkwardly, even using his younger brother as a shield.

Meng Yi, who was far away at the border, said: Brother, I'm helping you with government affairs, and this is how you repay me? (Smiles)

"No hurry, how old are you?"

Mrs. Meng glared at her eldest son, her tone full of disappointment.

"Your Majesty is about the same age as you, and already has a son and a daughter."

"Hurry up and bring me a daughter-in-law. It doesn't matter what her family background is, as long as she's a woman."

"As for men, absolutely not, or your father will break your legs."

This statement was earth-shattering. Meng Tian's face turned red with anger and he felt it was extremely ridiculous.

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"How could I, Meng Tian, ​​a man of integrity, learn the same passion for sex as King Anli of Wei?"

"That's good, that's good."

Seeing that the child's expression did not seem fake, Mrs. Meng patted her chest and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Qinian Palace.

Chu Yuening sat on the sofa, her posture relaxed, her temperament elegant, and her every move exuding an indescribable beauty.

The palace maid brought two cups of tea. She smiled and spoke in a gentle tone that made people feel like spring breeze.

"Mrs. Meng, come and try this tea."

"Thank you, my lady."

Mrs. Meng thanked him respectfully, and her manners were impeccable, but she still seemed a little reserved.

Even though the two of them had a pleasant conversation at the last oath-taking banquet, they were still not very familiar with each other.

Chu Yuening never liked beating around the bush. She looked straight to the point with a burning gaze.

"Madam Meng, do you know why the palace summoned you today?"

"My son said that the Queen wants me to help you exchange the Xiongnu's treasure for currency."

Mrs. Meng quickly put down her teacup and answered everything in detail.

This terrified look made Chu Yuening feel helpless, and she couldn't help but make a joke to ease the atmosphere.

"Madam Meng, there's no need to be so reserved. I'm not interrogating a criminal."

"It is my fault for being disrespectful, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

Mrs. Meng stammered shyly, her pretty face flushed, and she felt annoyed.

I originally wanted to perform well in front of the Empress, but how come I ended up making things worse?

Chu Yuening looked at the woman who looked much more relaxed, smiled slightly, and told her her plan.

"I intend to hold a charity auction at Linglong Treasure Pavilion."

"Charity auction?"

Even though Mrs. Meng was knowledgeable and experienced, she had never heard of such a novel thing and her face was full of confusion.

Chu Yuening picked up the teacup, took a sip, and explained slowly.

"Yes, we sell Xiongnu treasures in the name of charity, and all the proceeds go to support the families of soldiers who died in battle."

"The buyer not only gets exotic treasures, but also earns a good reputation for being kind."

"It's a win-win situation."

The graceful and dignified woman's beautiful eyes sparkled with wisdom, and her words were full of confidence as if she was in control of the situation.

Mrs. Meng was slightly startled, as if something deep in her heart was suddenly touched.

She had never seen such a... unique woman.

It is obvious that she looks like an immortal, not of this world, with a slender figure, like a willow swaying in the wind.

But in fact, there is a tenacious soul inside.

So confident, so powerful, so shining...

"What does Mrs. Meng think?"

Chu Yuening stared at the silent woman and asked in a gentle voice.

Mrs. Meng came to her senses and praised sincerely.

"Of course it is excellent. Your Majesty is both virtuous and talented. She is a model for the whole nation. I admire her."

Receiving sincere recognition, Chu Yuening curved her eyebrows and looked even happier.

She continued to describe the grand blueprint she had built, her eyes bright as if hiding thousands of shining stars.
