When Wan Yu woke up, it was already daylight.With her eyes closed, she habitually stretched out her arms to the side, trying to hug Yao Xi, only to find that the place where Yao Xi should be lying was empty.

oh.She and Yao Xi slept separately last night.

Wan Yu opened her eyes and stared at the roof of the tent for a while, then sat up on the bed, put on her shoes and walked towards the warm pavilion.She wanted to take a look at Yao Xi, otherwise her heart would always feel empty and uncomfortable.Looking around the screen, Yao Xi is not in the warm pavilion, and the pillows and bedding on the small couch have been made up.

"Where's Yao Xiren?" Wan Yu walked into the hall with loose clothes, and asked the maid.

The maid replied: "Return to your mother's words. Eunuch Yao led the people out of the palace at dawn."

"Well..." It seems that the storyteller has gone.The feeling of loss in Wan Yu's heart became heavier. "Pass down the order of Ai Jiayi, go to Kang Wang's mansion and invite Kang Wang into the palace."

She couldn't bear to continue to alienate Yao Xi, Yao Xi's life experience had to come to a conclusion quickly.

If it weren't for Feng Xi's daughter, of course it would be the best, she and Yao Xi would live as they should, and Yao Xi didn't even need to know what happened in the past two days.It would be more troublesome for Feng Xi's daughter... Even if she crossed the hurdle in her heart, what about Yao Xi?

As the old saying goes: Cousins, cousins, torn bones and tendons.There are not a few people who get married among relatives in the folk, but they are between the same generation, and love between generations is not acceptable to everyone.If aunts, nephews and nephews want to be together and stay together, wouldn't their generations be messed up?The royal family has to set an example for the people.

She doesn't care what the world thinks, but she cares about Yao Xi's thoughts.

Moreover, it is much more difficult for her to accept Yao Xi as a daughter of the Feng family than to accept Yao Xi as a eunuch.When she was a teenager, she experienced the destruction of thousands of families. Not long after, she was brought into the palace by the late emperor and made a noble concubine. After a few years, she was made a queen, and after the death of the late emperor, she became the queen mother...

Even though she and the late emperor were not husband and wife, she regarded herself as the Feng family from the bottom of her heart. How could the Feng family fall in love with the Feng family?Take Feng Qian as an example, she will never treat the emperor as a man, and a son is a son.

But fate plays tricks.She and Yao Xi are already in love!Therefore, either Yao Xi is not a daughter of the Feng family, or she would rather not be a wife of the Feng family.Anyway, she wants to be with Yao Xi no matter what!

It was past noon when Feng Xi entered the palace according to the order.

Wan Yu passed on the lunch, and sat in the dining room waiting for the palace maid to bring Feng Xi in.

"I don't know why the Empress Dowager ordered the younger brother to enter the palace?" Feng Xi walked into the dining room anxiously, and bowed to Wan Yu with cupped hands.To him, Wan Yu is not only the empress dowager, but also the elder sister-in-law. No matter how young the empress dowager is, etiquette is indispensable.

"Sit down and talk!" Wan Yu rubbed her brows and said.

Seeing the empress dowager's preoccupied appearance, Feng Xi became more and more uneasy.But he's an idle prince, he doesn't fight for power, and he doesn't fish for the common people, why did the empress dowager focus on him?Could it be that someone in the palace did something to offend the Queen Mother but he didn't know?Feng Qu tremblingly touched the edge of the chair and sat down.

"Is this your house?" Wan Yu took out a few rolled up paintings and handed them to Feng Xi.

Feng Xi unfolded the painting and looked at it: "Yes..." He heard about it.The Empress Dowager sent someone to measure this house the day before yesterday, and brought a painter to draw many paintings. Could it be that the Empress Dowager has taken a fancy to this house?

"Aijia remembers that you have always lived in Kang Wang's mansion?" Wan Yu asked again.She hoped that this house was newly bought by King Kang, and that Yao Xi was not Feng Xi's daughter.

"Yes. This house is lived by the third child of my family." Feng Xi said respectfully.

"Did you set up this house as soon as you left the palace? Or..."

Feng Xie said truthfully: "Back to the Queen Mother. This house originally belonged to Yao Hezheng. The third son of my family studied under Yao Hezheng. He was afraid that Yao's ancestral house would fall into the hands of others after his teacher was convicted, so he asked the emperor for it." Feng Xie did not agree. It is taboo to speak for Yao Hezheng, he knows what kind of person Yao Hezheng is, otherwise he would not let his son worship him as a teacher.It's a pity that he is not in court, so he can't contribute much to the case of the Yao family.

Wan Yu's eyes lit up, and her voice became much higher: "Is that house Yao Hezheng's ancestral house?" So, after all this going around, Yao Xi is likely to be Yao's daughter in the end?That's great!Wan Yu was so happy that tears filled her eyes.

"The queen mother took a fancy to that house?" Feng Xi was a little embarrassed.If it was an ordinary house, he would definitely offer it to the queen mother tactfully, and he would never be so stupid as to form a relationship with this ancestor because of a trivial matter.But that house is Master Yao's ancestral house, where the ancestors lived and died there for several generations, the house carries the memories of several generations of the Yao family!

What if the empress dowager takes the house and demolishes it and rebuilds it?

"No, no, no. Just ask your third son to take care of the house." Wan Yu smiled and shook her head.She was really happy, so she warmly greeted Feng Xi for dinner very rarely.

Feng Xie said that before entering the palace, he had eaten in the palace and only drank some tea to accompany the dinner.

After Kang Wang left, Wan Yu began to look forward to Yao Xi's return.

She was overwhelmed by the bad news yesterday, and she didn't know how to face Yao Xi for a moment, she just wanted to be alone to sort out her thoughts.However, her sudden indifference deeply hurt Yao Xi, and now she thought of the scene of Yao Xi crying and asking her if she didn't love her anymore, and she still felt uncomfortable.

She really wanted to hug Yao Xi tightly into her arms and tell Yao Xi clearly how much she loved her.She also wanted to tell Yao Xi about her life experience, Lan Jieyu might really be her sister.

"Yao Xi didn't say when to come back?" Wan Yu became more and more anxious as she waited.She wanted to go out of the palace to the teahouse to look for Yao Xi, but she was afraid that she would miss her on the way.Usually Yao Xi was delayed for two hours when he left the palace, but today it was four hours and there was no sign of anyone, Wan Yu couldn't help but feel worried.

The maid said: "Go back to your mother. Father-in-law didn't say anything."

"Send someone to the teahouse to bring Yao Xi back immediately!" Wan Yu couldn't wait any longer.She had a bad time with Yao Xi last night, slept separately all night, and never saw each other when she got up in the morning, this was far beyond the limit of what she could bear to be separated from Yao Xi.She must see Yao Xi immediately, otherwise she will go crazy.

The eunuchs were ordered to hurry to the teahouse, and came back in about two quarters of an hour, but they didn't bring Yao Xi back.

"Where's the person?" Wan Yu became more and more uneasy, and began to have some bad thoughts.Did something happen to Yao Xi?

"Go back to your mother. Miss Tao, the shopkeeper of the teahouse, said that my father-in-law has never been there today."

Yao Xi didn't go to the tea house?Wan Yu's heart kept sinking. "Send someone to look for it right away! Everyone in the palace and everyone in the store are called, and the Ai family has to find him even if the capital is turned upside down!" The last time Yao Xi disappeared, at least it was in the palace, and the palace did not see him again. Where can the great power go?But this time it was outside the palace, and it was so big outside the palace, finding someone was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

As soon as Wan Yu gave the order, the eunuch who had left the palace to find someone had not long left and quickly ran back to report. "Ma'am, Eunuch Yao is back!"

Yao Xi and the two young eunuchs who followed him out of the palace chatted and laughed across the stream, and from a long distance, they saw the Empress Dowager standing at the entrance of the main hall, surrounded by a large group of people.Did something happen in the palace?Yao Xi quickened his pace.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Yao Xi arrived in front of the hall, and the maids and eunuchs automatically moved out of the way.

"Come in!" Wan Yu was both happy and angry.She took Yao Xi's hand a few steps forward, dragged him into the hall, and closed the door forcefully.

Yao Xi's face was originally filled with a bright smile that can only be seen when he picked up silver, but when he returned to the palace and saw the empress dowager was so angry, he shrank his neck in fright. "Your Majesty, don't be angry, I know I was wrong." She had been delayed outside the palace for a long time today.

"What's wrong with your voice?" Wan Yu's worry about Yao Xi's accident disappeared, and she found that Yao Xi's voice was terribly hoarse.

Yao Xi cleared his throat and said with a smirk, "It's nothing. I've been talking for a while today."

"Storytelling? The Ai family sent someone to go to the teahouse. Tao Xiaolin said that you never went there." Wan Yu was very distressed.She took the tea and handed it to Yao Xi, and then loudly ordered to the maids waiting outside the palace: "Ping'er, go to the kitchen to make some pear soup and bring it here."

Yao Xi took the tea, moistened his throat, and said, "I didn't want to go to Miss Tao's place because I didn't want my mother to be unhappy. I found a new teahouse on the East Street, and I negotiated with the shopkeeper. The tea money will be paid at four or six for me. " After Yao Xi finished speaking, he took out a small cloth bag from his bosom, proudly took out the contents and handed it to the Empress Dowager, "I've been talking for four or five hours today, plus the rewards from the audience, I earned a full 12 taels of money!"

"If you have a sore throat, talk less." Wan Yu hugged Yao Xi into her arms distressedly, and advised, "Take storytelling as a pleasure, it's not just a living, so why not talk for four or five hours at a stretch?" ?”

Yao Xi snuggled into his mother's arms without saying a word.If she didn't work harder, she would only be able to earn 1 taels of silver in the Year of the Monkey?

Wan Yu also remembered that she mentioned the 1 taels last night, moved and guiltily raised Yao Xi's face and asked, "Is it because of what Ai Jia said?"

Yao Xi blinked his big eyes and nodded.

"Aijia is just a joke. You just want Aijia if you want it, how can it be so easy to earn 1 taels? Could it be that you really don't touch Aijia if you don't earn enough money?"

"But I'm afraid that the empress will be wronged. I gave Miss Tao 1000 taels, but I didn't give you anything. I will do my best for the 1 taels, and I will give my empress an answer no matter what." Yao Xi wrapped his arms around the empress dowager's waist, muttering Authentic: "I understand why the empress was angry yesterday. In the final analysis, it was because of Miss Tao. I will prove that the empress is thousands of times more important than her in my heart. Please calm down and don't let me sleep alone, okay? Without you I can not sleep."

"The same goes for Aijia." Wan Yu held Yao Xi's face and kissed it...

"Ma'am, the pear soup is ready." Ping'er said outside the door with something in her hand. "Ma'am..."

Lying on the ground in a mess, Yao Xi pushed the empress dowager away.

Wan Yu thought Yao Xi was in pain again, so she quickly stopped. "Does it still hurt that much?"

Yao Xi shook his head, raised his bare arms, pointed to the outside of the hall, and said, "Sister Ping'er brought pear soup."

"It's fine if it doesn't hurt." Wan Yu leaned over and kissed Yao Xi again.All the worries of yesterday and today turned into desires, Yao Xi is her person, no matter what happens in the future, it will not change.

After a long time, it was almost dark.Yao Xi was lying on the ground weakly, with all her clothes and the Queen Mother's robe under her body.Wan Yu hugged Yao Xi in her arms, panted quietly, looked at the high beams and said, "Little Yao, there is something you need to know. Do you remember the house that Ai's family asked you to recognize yesterday?" ? is real."
