After becoming an outcast, she relied on the system to raise her children and counterattacked.

"This slave is waiting to see the Emperor!"

Seeing Yin Qingxuan huddled behind the horse's neck, Ye Jingyu's eyes twitched slightly.

This bastard little slave really doesn't regard himself as an outsider. He didn't leave the palace until this hour. Isn't he too indulgent towards the little slave?

Then I thought again, I had personally approved this, so I could only bite my back teeth and pretend not to see it.

The emperor did not speak, and the eunuch carrying the sedan naturally did not dare to stop. The group of people walked past the three people in a mighty manner and went straight to Chengtian Hall.

Qin Tian thought he would be scolded, but the emperor didn't say a word. He was indeed very fond of Xiao Xuanzi, and he couldn't help but look at Li Qi.

Yin Qingxuan also let out a breath. No matter what Ye Jingyu thought, just pretend that he didn't see her.

"Let's go."

Yin Qingxuan got on his horse and took Qin and Li to Xiaochang.

At this time, Ye Jingyu also arrived at Chengtian Hall.

He walked slowly down the Imperial Palace and entered the side hall. He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and set off his stern face like a sword, showing the majesty of the emperor.

Xu Zhiyuan was walking back and forth in the room. She wanted to say goodbye and leave, but she was afraid that the emperor would blame her, so she had to wait here for him to go to court.

Hearing the footsteps, Xu Zhiyuan raised her head, and a bright yellow color came into view. She panicked and quickly knelt down.

"The concubine sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Get up, how are you today?"

Ye Jingyu looked at her with a gentle expression.

"Replying to the emperor, I am feeling much better now. I am preparing to return to Shuiyun Pavilion. Please allow me to do so."

Ye Jingyu smiled slightly and said, "No rush, let's have lunch before leaving."

"This..." Xu Zhiyuan clutched the handkerchief tightly, not wanting to keep it.

Ye Jingyu said warmly: "That's it. I have something to ask you later. I will go back to the main hall to change into casual clothes. You will wait here for now!"

Li Defu said in a low voice: "This is the honor of my little master. This is the first time that the emperor has invited someone to eat here. I don't want to thank you quickly."

Xu Zhiyuan had no choice but to bow and say, "I would like to thank you for your kindness."

"no."

Ye Jingyu unfolded his dragon robe and walked out.

Xiao Anzi and others were already waiting in the main hall in their casual clothes.

Seeing him, Ye Jingyu thought of Yin Qingxuan again.

He asked quietly: "When did Xiao Xuanzi wake up from sleep?"

Xiao Anzi didn't dare to lie, so he lowered his head and said, "It's probably about this time."

Hearing that Ye Jingyu didn't speak, she thought he was already annoyed. He immediately knelt on the ground and said bravely: "These days, Xiao Xuanzi has been busy farming in the suburbs of Beijing and going to the military camp to train. She is really tired. , that’s why I slept until this hour, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”

Ye Jingyu glanced at Xiao Anzi and said softly: "Why are you speaking for him like this? Are you taking advantage of him?"

Xiao Anzi suddenly broke out in sweat, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Get up."

Ye Jingyu just asked casually and had no intention of convicting anyone.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Anzi quickly stood up from the ground.

Ye Jingyu was already sitting on the dragon-carved armchair made of golden nanmu.

Li Defu carefully helped Ye Jingyu take off the imperial crown, put it aside respectfully, then turned to him and helped Ye Jingyu undress and untie his belt.

Ye Jingyu looked at Xiao Anzi holding the tray, and suddenly remembered that he had met Yin Qingxuan's mother and children, and asked casually: "What kind of person is Xiao Xuanzi's mother? How old are his children?"

Xiao Anzi hunched over and replied truthfully: "Mrs. Liu is very kind, and the three children are also very obedient. The older one looks like twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger one is about five or six years old."

Ye Jingyu frowned slightly.

He snorted coldly: "Xiao Xuanzi is no more than 20 years old at most. How old can he get married and have children?"

"My servant also asked Xiao Xuanzi, and he said that he just looks young, but is actually in his twenties."

"What about his wife? Is she also at home?"

Xiao Anzi sighed with emotion: "I heard that he ran away, and now only the old lady and three children are left. It's a pity."

Ye Jingyu's brows furrowed a little more.

The more I listened, the less reliable it became, so I waved my hand.

"Go and call Xu Zhiyuan for me."

After a moment, Xu Zhiyuan walked in from outside.

"Chen and concubine greet the emperor."

Ye Jingyu had already changed into casual clothes, a set of bamboo green brocade robes, which made him look extraordinary and handsome. He wore a simple jade hairpin on his head, and his every move showed royal nobility.

"sit down."

It was rare for an emperor to be so gentle to a woman. Li Defu immediately waved his hands to Xiao Anzi and others and quietly withdrew.

There were only two people left in the room. The emperor's oppression made Xu Zhiyuan tremble all over and her breathing was not smooth.

He said tremblingly: "I wonder why the emperor wants to find my concubine?"

"Don't be nervous, I want to ask you, have you ever been to the City God's Temple in the suburbs of Beijing when you were a child?"

Xu Zhiyuan didn't know why the emperor asked about this, so she thought about it and said with a respectful look: "I seemed to have gone there with my mother when the incense was still in its heyday, but then it became deserted and I never went there again."

Ye Jingyu narrowed his narrow eyes, causing some waves in his heart.

When he met the little girl that day, the City God's Temple was already in ruins, but Xu Zhiyuan said that she had never been there again. Could it be that he recognized the wrong person?

Then I thought again, Xu Zhiyuan was only a few years old at that time, so it was normal for her not to remember some things.

"What is your father's official position?"

Xu Zhiyuan lowered her head and said: "Back to the emperor, my concubine's father is the imperial censor."

Ye Jingyu nodded.

"An official from the third grade is not bad."

Xu Zhiyuan didn't know how to answer, lowered her head and said nothing.

Ye Jingyu's eyes turned around Xu Zhiyuan's pale little face, and then asked: "What do you need in the palace?"

"No, I want to go back. I didn't come back last night, so the maid will definitely be anxious."

Xu Zhiyuan stood up after finishing speaking.

Ye Jingyu raised his eyebrows and asked. "Do you really not want to dine with me?"

"My concubine, my concubine is not hungry."

Seeing Xu Zhiyuan's fingers trembling, Ye Jingyu shook his head.

She is so timid, you must not scare her.

Anyway, the future is long. I have been waiting for more than ten years, and now I am not short of this moment.

"Xiao Anzi, please send Master Xu back."

Xiao Anzi ran in with her waist hunched over.

"Xu Xiaozhu, please."

After Xu Zhiyuan left, Ye Jingyu lost his appetite.

After taking a few steps back and forth in the room, I suddenly thought of the school grounds again.

What the cavalry pays attention to is the integration of the waist and the horse, and the energy flowing through the arms, so that it can deal with the opponent's killing moves. This little slave has never participated in a horse battle, how can he practice cavalry well?

After thinking about this, Ye Jingyu suddenly wanted to take a look at the school grounds.

He turned around and told Li Defu: "Go and prepare your horses quickly, I want to leave the palace."
