"No!" Wan Yu vetoed Emperor Ming Cheng's absurd proposal.She couldn't stand Yao Xi being her niece, let alone her adopted daughter.

Emperor Ming Cheng was not annoyed, and patiently persuaded him: "I understand that it is rare for the empress dowager to have a satisfactory girl by her side, so she is naturally reluctant. Please rest assured, the empress dowager, I have named Yao Xi the princess, and you are that girl." Mother, you can keep her by your side to fulfill your filial piety."

"If Ai's family says no, then it's not! The emperor doesn't have to reward her anymore, as Ai's family has never mentioned this matter." Wan Yu's expression was serious.Fortunately, the emperor brought it up in person, if he wanted to surprise her or something, it would be even worse to accept Yao Xi as a righteous sister without saying a word.

"The empress dowager can tell you why not? I intend to promote the Yao family, but all the ministers in the court are in their respective positions, and it is very difficult for Yao and the official to be reinstated. After the Yao family returns to Beijing, Shuanglan will also abolish Jieyu's position and leave the palace." Accompany your family. Is it wrong for me to make Yao Xi a princess so that the Yao family can gain a foothold in Beijing again?" Emperor Ming Cheng's voice became louder.

He thinks long-term, Shuanglan will never marry for him, how will Shuanglan live after Yao's father and Yao's mother a hundred years later?Even if he wanted to help, with Shuanglan's temperament, he might not appreciate it.But it would be different if Shuanglan had a princess sister. The Yao family became royal relatives, and no one dared to say anything even if Shuanglan never married.

Wan Yu supported her forehead with a headache, and said leisurely: "The Ai family understands the Emperor's feelings for the Yao family. Since you want to be a princess, why not double happiness! Last time the Ai family saw Longyi's little cousin very sweetly, I heard that the child It's a pity that both parents died early. Why don't the emperor adopt them as righteous sisters?"

This time it was Emperor Ming Cheng's turn to change his face.Wan Yu knew that he was interested in Sun Yan, so why did she say such things?

"You and Yao Xi?" Emperor Ming Cheng suddenly realized.

Wan Yu smiled and nodded: "The emperor has to keep this matter a secret for the Ai family. In case Yao and Zheng find out and disagree, it will be very difficult for Yao Xi to be caught in the middle. The Ai family will appoint Yao Xi as a palace maid. Stay by Ai's house, and when you want to go back to Yao's house, just go back."

"This..." Emperor Ming Cheng was obviously a little shocked.There are a lot of court ladies in the harem, and he doesn't think there is anything, but he didn't expect Wan Yu to like women.He suddenly felt very sorry for the late emperor. The late emperor didn't realize that he was rejected by Wan Yu from the very beginning!

He was also a little relieved: "No wonder you are indifferent to such an outstanding man like me all day long. I finally know why." Emperor Ming Cheng had more confidence in his charm, and he was almost crushed by Sun Yan.

Wan Yu gave Emperor Ming Cheng a hard look: "What are you thinking? The Ai family only has maternal love for you that is as high as the mountain and as deep as the sea. Go back if you have nothing to do! The Ai family is exhausted."

"That's right. What if Meng Delai refuses to admit the case of the Shu family?" Emperor Ming Cheng was a little worried.Beating into a trick is not feasible for Meng Delai, and those who wade through the mountains of swords and blood will not be afraid of those instruments of torture.

Wan Yu felt that her son was not her own, she was so cute and silly. "Write the confession and ask him to draw it. If you don't want to, chop off your hand and press it for him. The Yao family has no evidence to overturn the case. Don't be afraid. Personal evidence and material evidence can be forged. You are the emperor, who dares to criticize you?" ?”

Emperor Ming Cheng looked at Wan Yu with some distaste. The girl who looked quite delicate and fresh, came up with bloody violence and unreasonable ideas.But he had to admit that if Wan Yu hadn't pushed him or even helped him clean up the mess, his throne might not have been so secure. "Okay. I'll go back and deal with Meng Delai's matter first."

"Yeah." Wan Yu stood up and followed Emperor Ming Cheng out of the study.

Emperor Ming Cheng was a little flattered.In the past, he often went to Ning'an Palace, and Wan Yu rarely got up to see him off. "Why is the queen mother so polite today? She is willing to send me out." Emperor Ming Cheng asked with a smile.

Wan Yu also smiled back: "The emperor misunderstood. The Aijia just came out to see why Xi girl hasn't come back yet."

***

It was dark when Yao Xi came back, and Yao Shuanglan personally sent her back with a lantern.

"Go in quickly! There are many bugs outside." Yao Shuanglan pulled Yao Xi's little hand reluctantly.

Yao Xi glanced at the dark sky, looked at the winding path leading to the stream and said, "Let me take my sister back first!"

Yao Shuanglan lowered her head and laughed with a "puchi": "I'm afraid there will be endless deliveries. Be obedient, go in quickly, it's convenient for us to live so close to each other."

"Then sister, be careful." Yao Xi stepped up the stone steps of the main hall with three turns.

Yao Shuanglan stood at the foot of the steps and waved to her with a smile, reminding her worriedly: "Be careful with your steps, don't trip over."

Wan Yu sat in the main hall, watching Yao Xi and Yao Shuanglan reluctantly, feeling a little sour in her heart.When Yao Xi parted with her, he was never so reluctant, he turned around so simply and briskly, let alone expect her aunt and grandma to turn her head back.

Yao Xi paused at the entrance of the main hall, and wanted to go to the valet first to see if Meng Li'an had woken up, but just as he turned around, he heard the voice of the Empress Dowager from the main hall.

"Where are you going?" Wan Yu suddenly felt that even if Yao Xi stayed in the palace obediently in the future, she might not spend more time with her than before.

Yao Xi scratched the door of the main hall and peeped in, only to see the Empress Dowager sitting at the table playing chess with herself. "Your Majesty, I want to see if the seriously injured eunuch has woken up."

"Hmm - just take a look and come back quickly." Wan Yu said impatiently pushing away the chess pieces.Every time Yao Xi left her, she had reasonable and sufficient reasons, such as recognizing her own sister, such as visiting the eunuch who was injured by her.But no matter how good the reason for Yao Xi's departure was, it still couldn't reduce her yearning for Yao Xi at all, and she still suffered a lot when Yao Xi was not in front of her eyes.

The light was on in the duty room, Yao Xi opened the door and looked in, Meng Li'an was still asleep.But what was reassuring was that Meng Li'an was lying dead on the bed before, but now he was breathing calmly and powerfully.Seeing that Meng Lian's quilt was not tucked in properly, Yao Xi squeezed in through the crack of the door lightly. She walked to the bed, and just as she grabbed the quilt, a hand came out from under the quilt and locked it firmly. her wrist.

Meng Li'an suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the familiar woman in front of the bed.During the day, it was Ping'er who took care of him. He recognized Ping'er's footsteps, and he woke up in fright when he heard something wrong while he was half asleep.

"It hurts, it hurts!" Yao Xi growled, afraid of alarming others, "Brother Li An, it's me!"

"Eunuch Yao?" Meng Li'an quickly let go of his hand.Why is Yao Xi dressed like this?Could it be that the people from Dongchang did it?

Yao Xi rubbed his wrist and asked, "Are you okay? I heard from your mother that you were seriously injured."

Meng Li'an shook his head, and when he looked up, he saw Yao Xi's slightly raised chest. Although he was young, he still knew some things.Meng Li'an hurriedly looked away from his sight, not looking at Yao Xi.

"I won't disturb your rest, then I'll come see you tomorrow." Yao Xi quietly closed the door of the guard room, ran and jumped to the right and entered the main hall.

"Your Majesty!" Yao Xi threw himself into the Empress Dowager's arms as soon as he entered the palace and said coquettishly, "I miss you so much!"

The corner of Wan Yu's mouth raised an uncontrollable smile, she hugged Yao Xi into her arms and sat down, "How's your chat with your sister going?"

"It was embarrassing at first, but it got better after we talked a lot." Yao Xi covered his mouth with his fingertips and smiled.Because of wearing women's attire, Yao Xi's behavior has also become much more delicate. After all, she is dressed as a lady, and her behavior is too rough. "By the way, ma'am, my sister also said that she will teach me how to draw flowers tomorrow."

Are you still going tomorrow?Wan Yu was a little disappointed, she only muttered in her heart but didn't say it out loud.But the sisters just met each other after being separated for many years, so there must be endless things to talk about. If she stopped Yao Xi, it would not only be unreasonable, but also inhumane. "How long will it be?" Wan Yu asked cautiously.

Yao Xi held the Empress Dowager's face, leaned forward and kissed her: "I don't want to be separated from the Empress Dowager, we agreed to let my sister come and teach me. Princess Longyi will also come, and then the four of us will have fun together." Yao Xi As Xi spoke, his voice became quieter, and he said with some anxiety: "Your Majesty won't blame me for making my own decisions, will you? I forgot that you like to be alone, or—"

Wan Yu interrupted Yao Xi and said, "That was before, now Ai Jia only likes to stay with you." As long as Yao Xi can be in front of her eyes, nothing else matters.

Yao Xi saw that the Empress Dowager had changed her clothes, so she knew that the Empress Dowager had already bathed.She stood up from the empress' arms and said: "Then I'll go take a bath first, empress, wait for me while you play chess."

"Ai's family will accompany you." Wan Yu didn't want to be separated from Yao Xi for a second.She grabbed Yao Xi's hand and hooked it around her neck, hugged Yao Xi easily, weighed Yao Xi twice in her arms and said with a smirk, "Why is it so heavy again?"

"Because he's still growing!" Yao Xi wrinkled his nose and said unhappily.The empress dowager simply raised her like a pig, it's no wonder she wasn't fat.

After entering Lanye Pond, Wan Yu gently put Yao Xi down and helped her undress her.Unscrambling and unscrambling, Wan Yu suddenly stopped what she was doing, and she recalled that meandering and terrifying dream a long time ago, Yao Xi, who was thought to be a eunuch at the time, wore a skirt in her dream and was crushed by her in the cabin among...

Wan Yu dragged Yao Xi's chin, admired it carefully, and said, "Sure enough, it's better to dress up as a girl." She was a little itchy, but when she thought of Doctor Fu's order and the strangle marks on Yao Xi's arm, she just gently He pecked Yao Xi's lips.

Yao Xi also glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Shou Gongsha on the Empress Dowager's forearm.The little bright red dot reminded her all the time that the empress was not strictly her woman.

She wanted Niangniang now, but her arms hurt so badly that she couldn't lift her strength.While Yao Xi was thinking wildly, Wan Yu had already undressed her and carried her into the pool.

Wan Yu stood in the water wearing unlined clothing, picked up the bath towel and gently wiped Yao Xi's arms: "Talk when it hurts."

Yao Xi didn't feel any pain at all, she was thinking about other things distractedly.

"Happy girl. Your parents will be able to return to Beijing in a few days." Wan Yu felt a little heavy.After Yao Xi got acquainted with her family, she had to go back home for a few days due to emotion and reason. She was afraid that she would not be able to make it through.

"Yeah. Thank you, ma'am." Yao Xi's desire just aroused was cut off by the empress dowager's words.
