Empress looks forward to falling out of favor every day

Chapter 424
It's been so long since Jin Shui's last miscarriage, no matter how bad his face is, it can't be this bad.

Lu Chun obviously also saw Jin Shui, and let go of Xiao Yueyao's hand.

Jin Shui also saw them, and after a slight start, he regained his composure and walked towards Xiao Yueyao slowly.

"Concubine Xiao, you...why are you here?"

Xiao Yueyao replied: "Today is my father's birthday, I'll come back and have a look, if you're not in the palace, you don't have to call me your mother."

Jin Shui was startled, then remembered Xiao Yueyao's inconvenience at this time, and hurriedly changed his words: "Yes, Concubine Xiao...Sister Xiao."

Xiao Yueyao looked at Jin Shui's pale face, but still couldn't ignore it, and asked a few words of concern.

"Why are you so pale? Is it because your body hasn't recovered after the miscarriage? Or... Princess Dai made things difficult for you? Can you eat the good things I rewarded you?"

Jin Shui's eyes were slightly dazed, he lowered his eyes, and shook his head, "Sister Xie Xiao cares about me, I have already taken care of my body, but the weather has been hot and cold recently, and I have a little bit of wind and cold, it's not a problem."

Xiao Yueyao nodded, "You are also a poor person, living in a foreign country and married again... Forget it, let's not talk about it, if you have nothing to do today, why don't you come to Xiao's mansion for a drink or two?"

Jin Shui didn't agree, and his eyes drifted to the teahouse not far ahead.

Xiao Yueyao knew something was up when she saw her.

"If you have something to do, go ahead. I'm leaving too. If you delay any longer, Dad should be in a hurry."

"Yes, send off sister Xiao."

Jin Shui saluted after meeting, watched Xiao Yueyao get into the carriage, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

Xiao Yueyao always had a strange feeling, as if someone was staring at her. After she got into the carriage, she opened the curtain, and looked at the second floor of the teahouse from the window.

But she didn't see anything, the person standing on the second floor seemed not to want to be seen by her, and quickly hid in.

Xiao Yueyao only saw the white sleeve.

Xiao Yueyao looked down and saw Jin Shui who was about to enter the teahouse, she frowned, thinking maybe she was overthinking.

Ye Ling was standing in the innermost box on the second floor of the teahouse, looking out quietly.

It wasn't until Xiao Yueyao put down the curtain that she stood sideways and watched Xiao Yueyao's carriage go away with interest.

Unexpectedly, he could see her while staying in Pingyan.

I also saw... she is so cute.

The corners of Ye Ling's mouth curled up, his peach blossom eyes curled up, and he looked down at the stall that was still yelling to buy chestnuts.

Thinking about it, I can try it later.

Just as he was thinking, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Ye Ling put away the smile on his face, turned around and leaned lazily by the bed, looked at the figure outside the door, and then spoke.

"come in."

After hearing this sentence, Jin Shui opened the door and came in. He met Ye Ling's charming peach blossom eyes, and hurriedly avoided his sight.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing Jin Shui's reaction, Ye Ling raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, moved his feet, sat down on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to feel good.

Beiming's tea is mostly bitter and hard to swallow.

However, Pingyan's tea is much more miraculous, with a bit of bitterness in the mouth, the sweetness of bitterness, and the fragrance of articulateness.

It is true that the water and soil are different, and the things planted have different tastes.

Pingyan Land Boundary is really good.

This made him more determined to take this place.

"How is it? Have you got it?"

Ye Ling put down the teacup in his hand, looked sideways, and asked.

Hearing this, Jin Shui looked up and said timidly: "Your Highness, please give me one more chance. The prince has already promised to take me to see Lord Zhang of the Ministry of War. Your Highness, as long as you give me more time, I will definitely get it."

Ye Ling didn't speak, but took another drink before asking, "What did she just tell you?"

Jin Shui was slightly taken aback, and knew what Ye Ling was asking, "No, I didn't say anything..."

After saying that, Ye Ling looked over coldly, he didn't like Jin Shui's dishonesty.

Whatever he asked, she just answered honestly.

Jin Shui saw Ye Ling's peach eyes that were beginning to turn cold, and hurriedly lowered them, not daring to hide anything.

"Today is Marquis Wu's birthday. Just now, Concubine Xiao invited me to the Xiao residence..."

Ye Ling smiled back and asked, "Then...why don't you go?"

Jin Shui looked over in bewilderment, he didn't quite know what Ye Ling meant.

Ye Ling looked at her, and continued: "Xiao Suyang is a general, and Xiao Nanchen is also responsible for the change of the military deployment in Pingyan. The two of them must have contact with the Ministry of War, so I think... there must be many officials in the Ministry of War."

Jin Shui's eyes darkened, and he quickly understood Ye Ling's meaning, "I understand, Your Highness..."

After Jinshui left the teahouse, Xi'er, who was standing outside the teahouse, hurriedly followed,
Jin Shui hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the Xiao Mansion.

Ye Ling stood in front, looking at the direction of Jin Shui's departure, and sneered with disdain.

Before Xiao Yueyao's carriage arrived at Xiao's mansion, Xiao Suyang took the lead and stood outside from a distance.

Xiao Nanzhu also stood behind him.

And further on, it was the guests who came to the banquet today. They looked at each other, stood up in turn, and persuaded Xiao Suyang and Xiao Nanzhu earnestly.

"Hey, old Xiao, you father and son can go in and wait first, isn't there a housekeeper here? When Concubine Xiao comes, it's all right to let you know if you're okay?!"

Xiao Suyang snorted coldly, "What do you know? I'm happy to wait at the door! Yaoyao finally went home."

"Then, the masters of you two are waiting at the door. We guests, too, are too embarrassed to go and sit inside."

Xiao Suyang snorted even more this time, and didn't even bother to answer.

Fortunately, they didn't wait long and watched a carriage coming here.

Xiao Suyang looked at the carriage, and walked out two steps with tears in his eyes.

As soon as Xiao Yueyao's carriage stopped, Xiao Yueyao lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage, and plunged into Xiao Suyang's arms.

Xiao Suyang caught her steadily.

When the others saw Xiao Yueyao coming, they hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Xiao Suyang choked with sobs, "Daddy's good Yaoyao, it's true that you are kind to Daddy, and you even came back to celebrate Daddy's birthday in person."

Xiao Nanzhu looked at Xiao Suyang hugging Xiao Yueyao with tears in his eyes, talking in a rambling manner, and couldn't finish talking for a while, then looked at the group of ministers who were still maintaining the ceremony, and said.

"Father, Yaoyao finally came back, the sun is so strong at the moment, if you have anything to say, let's go in and talk about it."

"exactly."

Xiao Suyang looked up at the sky, the sun was too big for him to open his eyes, and he looked at Xiao Yueyao's white and tender skin, and immediately pulled him in.
