She had thought for a long time about whether to let Ms. Li accompany her today. Logically, she should have brought Ms. Li with her, after all, Yuandong was not allowed to enter Xining Gate without special permission. She had decided not to bring Ms. Li with her when she spoke with Yuandong yesterday. If she had brought Ms. Li with her, and if they really went to Hanyuan, the Queen would definitely let her go with her, and she would have no reason to refuse.
However, she has not yet fully investigated the situation of Ms. Li. She does not want Ms. Li to be involved in such an important matter or know more.
Unfortunately, she had no idea what the ending of Mrs. Li and Ms. Li was in her previous life. If it was like what happened to Mrs. Xiaolin and Ms. Zhang, at least she would now know whether she was a useful person.
Moreover, if he couldn't return to the palace for ten days or half a month, these people would probably reveal some things that were not visible on a normal day.
Meng Qi didn't respond to Ms. Zhang's words, but looked at Madam Li. "Madam Li, continue to discuss the matter I'm telling you with Madam Wu. When you have a conclusion, just come and tell Madam Liu directly. If you're still unsure, go to Madam Hai's house and ask her. After all, she's very familiar with the servants in the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Li said softly, "Don't worry, Princess. I will draw up the list with Sister Wu today and we will make the final decision when Princess returns."
"Baochun and Haitang, please take good care of me. After all, you served me in Jing'an Garden. Don't bring shame to Jing'an Garden when you marry into the manor."
Li was a bit surprised. She hadn't expected Meng Qi to be so intolerant of Baochun and Haitang. Baochun was understandable, after all, he'd tried to seduce the prince right in front of Meng Qi. But Haitang, as far as she knew, hadn't done anything too outrageous.
"Yes, I will take care of that. I will carefully choose husbands for them both."
Meng Qi stood up and said, "Let's go."
"Mother, isn't father coming with us?" Song Bairan walked forward with his body hunched, blinking his big eyes.
Meng Qi reached out and took Song Bairan's hand, smiling and saying, "Your father went to court early in the morning. He will be waiting for us in the palace."
Song Nongyu grinned, "I told you to worry too much, now you can rest assured."
Song Nongyu was often brought to Jing'an Garden by Wu, and was familiar with Meng Qi, so she spoke to him more casually.
Before Meng Qi could ask what was going on, she heard Song Baimo whisper, "On the way here just now, my second brother wanted our father to protect us to the palace."
"Protection?" Meng Qi was puzzled.
Song Bairan looked at his brother with a pair of big eyes. Song Baimo continued, "The last time we went to the palace, the third cousin from the second uncle's family and the fourth cousin from the fifth uncle's family tripped the second brother and refused to apologize."
Meng Qi understood that Song Chengze was not valued by his brothers, so his son naturally lost prestige among his peers. However, Prince Duan's third son and Prince Cheng's second son were both much older than Song Bairan, yet they bullied a child. This was a clear display of contempt.
Meng Qi felt distressed. She squatted down and looked at Song Bairan, "Don't be afraid. If they bully you again, you can ask Ms. Li to go find the Queen Mother, okay?"
Song Bairan nodded vigorously with bright eyes, then looked at Song Baimo proudly. Song Baimo showed a smile that matched his age.
Meng Qi sighed. Song Chengze's children were all good kids. In her previous life, she had a bad temper and would sometimes lose her temper at them when things didn't go her way. But during the three years she lay there, besides Song Nongyu, Song Baimo and Song Bairan would often come to see her.
Hu Changsheng came in and said that the carriage was waiting at the second gate.
Today, Hu Changsheng will enter the palace with them, and Meng Qi asked him to serve Song Baimo and the others.
