Yao Xi saw that the time was almost up, so he stood up and addressed the audience.

The shopkeeper came over and persuaded: "Why don't you eat in the small shop? As long as the small shop has it, you can order whatever you want." He was reluctant to leave Yao Xi, and when Yao Xi left, the customers scattered and went home, and the teahouse would change again. Be deserted.

"Thank you shopkeeper for your kindness. I just promised my wife that I can go home for dinner at some time..." Yao Xi smiled at the shopkeeper apologetically, and then said loudly to everyone: "See you tomorrow, I will take my leave first."

Several empress dowagers who followed were shocked when Yao Xi called the empress dowager his wife.Yao Shaojian's guts are really fat!Dare to say this kind of thing, do you think you are the late emperor?

The girls who were sitting in the front row on the first floor were heartbroken when they heard this: Is Mr. Wan already married?

A considerate girl comforted the distressed little sister and said: "Think about it, Mr. Wan is handsome, but he is short! As the saying goes, one white covers three ugliness, and one short ruins everything."

The sad girl rolled her eyes at her sisters and said, "My lord is so young, he will definitely grow taller!"

Yao Xi heard the conversation between the two when he walked off the stage, and replied with a smile: "With the girl's good words, I will work harder on my size." blocked her way.

"Young Master, please stay! My wife wants to invite you to the private room on the second floor to talk. My wife only listened to the second half of the first story today, and I would like to ask you to tell me the first half of what I said yesterday." The tone of the big man was very bad. , looking up at Yao Xi with his nostrils.

Yao Xi raised his head and glanced at the second floor, and swept across the elegant room, and sure enough, there was a middle-aged woman full of jewels looking at him expressionlessly. "I'm really sorry, Madam, if you're curious, you can ask other listeners." After finishing speaking, Yao Xi wanted to bypass the big man and continue towards the door.

"If the young master knew who my wife is, maybe he wouldn't be so rude." The big man sneered and grabbed Yao Xi's slender arm, smugly said.

hehe.Yao Xi couldn't hold back a sneer in his heart: If you know who my wife is, maybe you won't dare to be so rude.Yao Xi returned the original words in her heart, but she didn't want to cause trouble. Seeing that some eunuchs couldn't sit still and wanted to rush over, she hurriedly signaled everyone to calm down with her eyes.

Meng Li'an still rushed over.He didn't use force, but said to the big man with an apologetic smile, "Is there anything that can't be said calmly? Everything can be discussed! Isn't that right?" He pinched the big man while smiling The wrist of Yao Xi's arm, and secretly used internal force.

The big man was so painful that he immediately let go of Yao Xi. He knew that he had met a master, and if he didn't let go of his hand, he might be useless.But he tried his best to save face, his face remained the same, he still bluffed and said to Yao Xi: "Since the young master is not willing, then I won't force it." As he said this, he glanced uneasily at the private seat on the second floor from the corner of his eye.If the person didn't bring it up, Madam will inevitably be punished severely!

"Please, son." Meng Li'an stood between the big man and Yao Xi, and made a gesture of invitation to Yao Xi.

When Yao Xi walked out, he still wondered why the big man suddenly became so easy to talk, and couldn't help asking Meng Li'an when he got on the carriage.

Meng Li'an explained: "I threatened him with a small knife on his wrist just now, and I will cut him if I don't let go!" After speaking, a small knife point was exposed from his cuff, and he said with a smile: "We are weak, and we are used to carrying something for self-defense. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not let Yao Xi know that he knows martial arts.

"Awesome!" Yao Xi gave a thumbs up in admiration. Threats are indeed much stronger than actions.

"Where. There are two Lianjia sons following you out of the palace, so you don't have to be afraid even if they fight." Meng Li'an said with a smile.What he said was true, Yao Xi didn't really need his help, how thoughtful was the Empress Dowager?Just now he ignored Yao Xi's stop and rushed forward to make a rescue, he just wanted Yao Xi to owe him a favor.

The favor that Yao Xi owed him might one day become a life-saving straw.

***

After returning to the palace, Yao Xi got off the carriage and rushed towards the main hall.She wasn't sure if she was late. It was really inconvenient to tell the time in ancient times, and she hadn't practiced the magical skill of guessing the time by looking up at the sun.

But the moment Yao Xi saw the face of the Empress Dowager, Yao Xi knew the answer.She's late, and it's not 01:30.

"Ma'am, am I coming back late?" Yao Xi closed the palace door with small steps, obediently with his hands behind his back, like a child who has done something wrong standing at the door without daring to move.

Wan Yu no longer remembers how she spent those two hours, she always felt like she had gone through a long period of time alone, and recalling it was terrifying.

"You know it's too late!" Wan Yu looked at Yao Xi reproachfully, her gloomy mood was relieved the moment she saw Yao Xi come back.

"Are you a long time late?" Yao Xi saw that the empress's face seemed to be much better before he dared to take a few steps forward to speak.

Wan Yu snorted coldly: "Half a quarter of an hour!"

"That's okay, that's okay." Yao Xi heaved a sigh of relief.When she first came in, she saw the Empress Dowager's face was so ugly, she thought she was an hour or two late!It was only half an hour.

fine?Wan Yu rolled her eyes angrily, she is living like a year, okay?In addition to being angry and a little sad, she seemed to be the only person who suffered from the separation from the beginning to the end. "Heartless." Wan Yu cursed in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Yao Xi didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing." Wan Yu saw that Yao Xi was sweating from running back, and she didn't care about losing her temper, so she said distressedly, "Go take a bath and prepare to eat!"

When Yao Xi went to the clean room to take a bath, Wan Yu ordered someone to pass in the oldest eunuch among the eunuchs who accompanied Yao Xi out of the palace.

"Tell Aijia everything that happened after leaving the palace, in every detail!" Wan Yu sat on a chair and said leisurely with a cup of tea.

The eunuch knelt on the ground and said: "Eunuch Yao went straight to the teahouse after leaving the palace. There were a lot of people in the teahouse. I heard that they all came for Eunuch Yao. The shopkeeper came over and asked Eunuch Yao what his name was. Eunuch lied for some reason. , and said his name was Wanxi."

"Wanxi?" Wan Yu couldn't help lowering her head and laughing, she could use her toes to guess what Yao Xi was thinking when she chose the name.The wife follows her husband's surname... Her silly girl is really promising. "Go on!" Wan Yu was very happy to hear it.

"Later, my father-in-law began to tell stories in a serious way, and he talked for a long time." The eunuch recalled.

"Oh? What book are you talking about?" Wan Yu was a little curious.

The eunuch thought about it seriously: "It's a story about a fake eunuch who sneaked into the palace and ended up marrying seven wives."

Ouch!Wan Yu snorted lightly.

Her father-in-law is not only promising, but also ambitious!Seven wives?Can Yao Xi's small body take care of it?Now, she can't be satisfied with just one, yet dare to think about seven? ? ?

Phew... Wan Yu suppressed her anger and continued to listen to the eunuch.

"After finishing the book, my father-in-law was in a hurry to go back to the palace, so he reasoned that he was rushing home to eat with his wife..." The eunuch dared not hide a word, and told everything he saw and heard.But he said it with trepidation, fearing that the empress dowager's anger at Eunuch Yao would spread to himself who sent the message.

Wan Yu's expression softened when he heard this.She just listened to the eunuch's reply, and her mood went through ups and downs, Yao Xi, that little goblin!It really makes people love and anger, and the more they love, the more angry they become.

"However, something happened when my father-in-law stepped down from the stage. Someone wanted to force my father-in-law to go to the second floor to tell a story, and almost started to fight. Fortunately, that person was persuaded by a little eunuch in our palace, so he let go Eunuch Yao."

"Someone did something to Yao Xi?" A small flame of revenge ignited in Wan Yu's heart.Yao Xi imagined that the matter of marrying seven wives was not over yet, but it was a private matter between her and Yao Xi, and the revenge of the outsiders should be avenged!

The eunuch explained: "Hui Niangniang, in fact, it's not a move, but a strong man pulled Eunuch Yao twice."

This eunuch has been working in Ning'an Palace for at least five or six years. He knows the empress dowager's temperament very well. If the empress is angry with someone, that person will definitely be killed or injured!He didn't dare to hide and not report what the empress asked, but he couldn't bear to excuse those people.

"Immediately find out who it is for the Ai family!" Wan Yu was so angry that she patted the teacup heavily and said, "Go ahead!"

"Slave complies with the order." The eunuch stepped back and went out.

***

When Yao Xi came out of the shower, his hands were behind his back, he walked over and said to the empress dowager mysteriously: "Your Majesty, guess what good things I brought back for your empress?"

"What is it?" Wan Yu couldn't get excited, she sat in the dining room facing a large table of delicacies but she didn't have the slightest appetite.Seven wives?It really pissed her off.Of course she knew that Yao Xi could only enjoy his mouth when he was a storyteller, and he would never want to achieve it in this life, but Yao Xi shouldn't have such an idea!

"Dangdangdangdang!" Yao Xi took out an exquisite small water cup with a hook from behind: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the hibiscus bird I gave you? I bought a small water cup for it, isn't it cute? But it's been a long time I haven't seen that bird, where does the empress keep it?"

"Oh. That bird!" Wan Yu said with resentment: "It was tested for poison in the kitchen, and it must have been poisoned to death." up.But the thing that Yao Xi gave was really true, it was not for her, it was clearly for the birds!

"Poisoned to death..." Yao Xi felt a chill in his heart.What a cute little bird!She will never give living things to the Empress Dowager in the future.

"Why don't you tell my father-in-law and Ai's family, what story do you tell when you go out of the palace today?" Wan Yu didn't bother to beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "I heard that it was a story about a fake eunuch who married seven wives. I have to say, father-in-law Very ambitious!"
