The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

At the beginning of the Zishi period, the Yao Mansion was brightly lit and the conversations continued.

The elders of the family came to Yao's mansion to welcome Yao Hezheng who had just arrived in Beijing. The elders were so happy that they got drunk and held Yao Hezheng's hand tightly and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." The Yao family has been going on for many generations, and you are the first one to reach the third grade. In your life, you are the most promising."

"My grandson is unfilial, and my uncle is worried." Yao Hezheng also held the old man's hand tightly.

During the dinner, another person said: "That's not true. Among the nephews and grandchildren, Hezheng is the most promising one, and among the great-grandchildren's generation is the third girl of their family. Shuangzhu is a lucky person. Not to mention that he returned home safely, and became a first-class palace." make."

Yao Hezheng glanced at the inner hall, where the female relatives were having dinner.

When he got home, he only saw Shuangzhu briefly at the door. The daughter was born into a big girl. After all, they were twin brothers and sisters, who looked very similar to Ah Xian.Shuanglan is also there, only A Xian is absent.

Shuangzhu didn't seem to dare to look at him, bowed his head and bowed his knees, and called him "Daddy" in a low voice.It was the "Daddy" that I heard from my daughter again after more than ten years, and it almost made him, a seven-foot man with gray beard and hair, cry out in front of the elders.

He finally held back his tears, but the lady at the side was already sobbing, and stepped forward to hug Shuangzhu tightly.

"It's late at night, uncles, uncles, uncles and uncles, go back to your room early to rest!" Yao Hezheng wrote to the elders respectfully.

As soon as the elders left, Yao Hezheng hurried into the inner hall.

The food on the table did not seem to have been touched, and the mother and daughter were sitting in a pile and crying.

Seeing Yao Hezheng coming in, Mrs. Yao stood up wiping her tears and said, "Master, have all the uncles rested?"

"Take a break." Yao Hezheng smiled at his wife gently, then looked at the two daughters, his eyes gradually turned red.He turned his back and looked at the beams for a while, until his tears dried up before he turned around and walked to the table to sit down.He didn't dare to look at the lost and regained third daughter, fearing that he couldn't help crying again, so he could only look at the second daughter Shuanglan and said, "Daddy heard that you were abolished and left the palace. Could it be that you were implicated by the case of the Shu family?"

"No." Yao Shuanglan told her parents in all detail that it was a misunderstanding when she was ordered to enter the palace, and she had never served in bed.

"Okay. When the emperor ordered you to enter the palace, my father felt distressed. The life in the palace is just looking good, and it is not a good place for a girl's home." Yao Hezheng felt relieved a lot.When Shuanglan was specially summoned into the palace, not only his colleagues in the officialdom, but even the elders in the clan congratulated him, but he was the only one who couldn't be happy.He doesn't sell daughters for glory, he can only go the right way to revitalize his family business, instead of ruining his daughter's life to change the name of a royal relative.

Yao Shuanglan said calmly: "But I have entered the palace after all, so I cannot remarry in this life."

Mrs. Yao wiped her tears with a smile and said, "It's better not to marry. Stay at home with your parents."

After Yao Hezheng asked Shuanglan, he finally summoned up the courage to look at the third daughter who was sitting next to Shuanglan. "Shuangzhu, tell Dad, how did you get here all these years?" He couldn't help but turn red again, a little girl wandering outside, I don't know how much I have suffered.

Yao Xi started from being kidnapped by Li Guier, a servant of the Yao family, to being picked up by the Sun family, and said how well her grandparents treated her.He also told how to enter the palace and how to get from the Siyuan Bureau to the Ning'an Palace.As for the great or small sufferings she has experienced, she is afraid that everyone will be sad and forget them.

Yao Hezheng said distressedly: "After Li Gui'er was arrested, he said that he threw you into the river. It happened that the river was high tide that year. Dad ordered people to salvage it but failed. Those who are looking for you may be able to take you home earlier." Yao Hezheng became more and more guilty as he talked, and shed two lines of tears behind his wife and daughter's back.

Yao Xi didn't know how to persuade her, so she also cried together, while Mrs. Yao and Yao Shuanglan also wept silently.

Yao Hezheng listened to Yao Xi's experience of entering the palace, apart from feeling sorry for the little girl, he also confirmed one thing.His son Axian is no longer alive.Meng Delai followed Axian's example and found someone to replace him in the palace, but he didn't expect Shuangzhu to come back by accident.Is it really a blessing and a curse?

He knew in his heart that his son was not missing but killed, but he didn't dare to tell his wife.After going to southern Xinjiang, Prince Xiu treated their family very well, but the climate in the north and south was very different, and his wife became weaker after giving birth to Shuangzhu Axian. He was afraid that his wife's body would not be able to bear the pain of losing his son.

"It would be great if Axian was here." Mrs. Yao looked at her daughters and said sadly, "In a few days' Mid-Autumn Festival, it's rare that Shuangzhu will come back, but it's a pity that Axian is not here again."

Yao Hezheng comforted his wife and said: "Shuangzhu can come back. Maybe A Xian will come back suddenly one day? Let's send someone to look for it, and we will see people and corpses!" He also had some hope, Maybe Ah Xian is really still alive? "By the way, Shuangzhu, did the Empress Dowager tell you when she wants you to go back?"

Yao Xi nodded and said: "Your Majesty is sympathetic, please allow me to return to the palace after the Mid-Autumn Festival at home."

"That's only a few days left." Mrs. Yao held Yao Xi's hand distressedly and said, "Shuangzhu, can you give up the job in the palace? You just came back, mother is reluctant to let you go. And..." Mrs. Yao hesitated for a moment and said: "I heard that the empress dowager has a bad temper and is not easy to get along with. What if you get into trouble in front of her?"

"Your Majesty is very nice." Yao Xi defended the Empress Dowager, "You also know that if the Empress Dowager hadn't saved me from Beauty Yu, my daughter would have died long ago. Even if I work in the palace, I can I often go home to see you."

She was also reluctant to leave home, Master Yao and Mrs. Yao really loved her when they saw her.But she missed the Empress Dowager even more. These days, she was so busy helping her elder sister with housework, it was fine that she didn't care about her thoughts when she was busy, but when she was free, she felt uncomfortable and missed her like crazy.

"Good boy, you know how to repay your kindness. Then you should be careful in everything in the palace. If you are wronged, you must tell your parents. Okay?" Mrs. Yao asked, patting the back of Yao Xi's hand lightly.

The family of four sat and talked for a long time. Yao Hezheng was worried about his wife's health and wanted to help her go back to the room to rest.

Mrs. Yao smiled and said: "Our three mothers have already agreed to sleep together tonight, and the master can go back to his room by himself!"

"That's fine." Yao Hezheng looked at his wife and daughter with a smile on his face and said, "Go to bed early, don't just talk too much, I will send the elders home early in the morning."

***

A few days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.

Yao Xi finally saw what a big family is.There are so many people!

A few days ago, when I was meeting Mr. Yao, the people of the clan were worried that everything in Yao's mansion would be incomplete. If there were too many people, it would cause trouble. Each branch only came to represent one or two elders.The elders realized that they were worrying too much when they arrived at the Yao Mansion. The two maids who were in charge of the Yao Mansion were capable, and the third maid who had made the palace order brought many maids and eunuchs back to the mansion.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, all men, women and children in the clan came.

Yao Xi followed closely behind Yao Shuanglan, three aunts, six aunts and seven uncles shouting.She is a little face blind, she forgets the people she called, and she doesn't know what to call her again, so she can only laugh along with embarrassment.After a brief greeting with the elders, Yao Xi followed his mother and sister into the inner courtyard to talk with the female guests.

Topics revolve around her.

The guests did not dare to ask Mrs. Yao about going to southern Xinjiang, let alone about her sister Shuanglan abolishing her throne and leaving the palace, so they all pointed their fingers at her.No matter how you say it, making a first-class palace order is a happy event for Yao's parents, and it is very suitable to be discussed on such a festive occasion for family celebrations.

This scene reminded Yao Xi of the fear of being asked about grades when visiting relatives during the Spring Festival before crossing.

"Third niece is almost eighteen, isn't she? Has anyone settled?" a fat woman suddenly said to Mrs. Yao.

Yao Xi sighed inwardly.Well, all the marriage urgings are here.

Madam Yao smiled politely and shook her head.

"Aren't you in a hurry, sister-in-law? You can start looking. My eldest girl is only one year older than Shuangzhu, and she has two children..." The woman said a while, some words were subtly sour.

Yao Xi wanted to get angry when he heard that, but he couldn't get angry because of his status as the third miss of the Yao family.I had no choice but to stand up and say to my mother and sister: "I'll ask Aunt Liufang when she can hold a banquet." Hurry up and stop this man's mouth with food!

***

In the evening, all the guests went home, and only a family of four who had bathed and changed their clothes sat around the table and waited for the bright moon to rise.

Yao Xi was so tired that he didn't even have the energy to speak.Before dawn, she held a family banquet with her sister, and later greeted the guests, and greeted the elders everywhere until almost noon with smiling faces.Yesterday was even busier. She went to Yao's ancestral hall with her parents and sisters to worship her ancestors. After kneeling for a long time, her knees were blue.

That's not all.Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon will be sacrificed tonight... God!

Yao Hezheng saw his little daughter's silly and cute eyes, and asked her with a smile, "Are you tired?"

Yao Xi was aggrieved and coquettishly said, "Do you still have to kneel to sacrifice the moon?"

"Knee pain?" Yao Hezheng was relieved to see his daughter so delicate.I think it is good for the Empress Dowager to treat Shuangzhu. There is no place where there is more kneeling ceremony than in the palace. "Don't be afraid, Daddy will order someone to spread a thick mattress on the mat and it won't hurt." The words were full of pampering.

Yao Shuanglan was a little surprised.Although the father is gentle, he is strict with rules, let alone his children's weakness.Why is it like a different person in front of my sister?Is this really the father who always punished her for facing the wall and thinking about her mistakes when she was a child?

Yao Hezheng hasn't changed, he just realized what it's like for his daughter to act like a baby to him, it's so sweet that he doesn't have the slightest temper.Shuanglan has been cold-tempered since she was a child. When she was punished, she never said soft words to plead for mercy, but straightened her back and carried it hard, which made him angry!

The sacrificial altar had already been placed towards the moonrise, and the moon rose before it got dark.Men do not offer sacrifices to the moon, and the chief priest who leads the family to worship the moon is Mrs. Yao.Yao Xi and his elder sister knelt side by side behind their parents and saluted respectfully.She knows what the moon looks like, and she doesn't believe in any moon god, but everyone does.It is not a bad thing for people to be a little awed when they go to the countryside to do as the Romans do.

After the moon sacrifice ceremony, the family was sitting drinking and admiring the moon. A servant girl came over and said, "Madam, the Empress Dowager sent someone to send seven boxes of things. Six boxes are for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and one box is for the third lady. The empress said, it is rare for the third young lady to be reunited with the master and his wife, so she should stay at home for a few more days, and there is no need to rush back to the palace."

As soon as the maid said this, the expressions of the four members of the family were completely different.

Yao Shuanglan was preoccupied with Longyi, without expression.

Mrs. Yao is simply happy that her daughter can spend more time with her at home.

Yao and Zheng were a little unhappy.He felt that the girl seemed to be tainted with extravagance when she served beside the empress dowager.When Shuangzhu returned home, he had brought more than a dozen boxes of things from the palace, not only that, but also accompanied by more than twenty palace maids and eunuchs to serve him.He is also happy that the Queen Mother loves Shuangzhu, but everything should not be too much, and the Yao family's family tradition of being diligent and thrifty should not be lost.

He was a little unhappy and hard to speak.The daughter has been wandering abroad for many years, and he has no grace to raise her, nor has he practiced the rules of teaching, so what qualifications does he have to speak?That's all, Shuangzhu is a good boy, and it would be nice to find a chance to give him some advice in the future.

Yao Xi didn't notice everyone's expressions at all, she was too sad to think.

Obviously in another day, she can go back to the palace after seeing her grandfather.The empress happened to send someone at this time, and she even arranged all the things she left in the palace, and told her not to go back in a hurry.

Does the empress miss her?Or did the empress change her mind after only ten days?She doesn't care, the empress doesn't want her to go back, she wants to go back!Return to the palace early in the morning!

"Father, mother, sister. I'm sleepy, so I'm going back to my room first." Yao Xi no longer had the heart to admire the moon, stood up and walked heavily to the room.

Mrs. Yao looked at her daughter's tired back and said distressedly: "The child is really exhausted."

Yao Hezheng said to his wife: "Just now the girl said that her knee hurts, probably because she broke her knees in the ancestral hall yesterday, Madam, please go and deliver some medicine later!"

Aunt Liufang was guarding the door, and when she saw Yao Xi came back, she hurried forward and said respectfully: "Gongling Yao, the empress has brought you a box, and it has already been carried into the room. The empress told you not to open it."

"Okay. Auntie, let's go to bed early too!" Yao Xi saw a big box leaning against the corner of the wall as soon as she entered the door. She bent down and grabbed the iron buckle and gently lifted it. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and broke down in sobs.

The empress squatted in the box with her knees hugged, and when the box was opened, she raised her head and smiled at her.

"Your Majesty!" Yao Xi yelled with a low voice, crying and laughing to help her get up from the box, and said distressedly: "Have you been squatting like this?"

Wan Yu stepped out of the box and kissed Yao Xi involuntarily. After a long, long kiss, she let go. Yao Xi held her face and said, "Why are you crying? Are you unhappy seeing Aijia?"

"Happy, of course happy." Yao Xi threw himself into the empress dowager's arms and cried, "But I will return to the palace in the future! Why did you come here?"

"You don't even know how difficult these days are for Aijia, and you will really go crazy if you don't see you again." Wan Yu pressed Yao Xi tightly and said, "Besides, it took you more than ten years to reunite with your family. If you stay at home for two more days, your parents will think that Aijia is unreasonable. Aijia will hide in your room first, and we will go back to the palace together in two days."

"Hiding in my room?" Yao Xi glanced at the small room and said anxiously, "There's no place to hide here!"

"Silly girl." Wan Yu pointed to the big wooden box in the corner that hadn't been closed yet.

Yao Xi shook his head and said, "No. It's too suffocating in there, how uncomfortable it is to squat."

"No matter how uncomfortable it is, I can't see you suffering." Wan Yu kissed Yao Xi again, hurriedly untied her belt, quickly pushed Yao Xi to the side of the bed and pressed her down impatiently...

Mrs. Yao came over to get the medicine for the wound, thinking about giving her daughter the medicine before going back to her room to sleep.

Pushing the door open, I found that it was locked from the inside.Mrs. Yao raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, when suddenly there was a soft humming in the room, followed by intermittent movements.She was already a married woman, how could she not know what was going on?

Mrs. Yao's heart ached a little.She has always thought that Shuangzhu is very good, even if she didn't grow up by her side, she still looks slim and well-mannered.But at this moment, her precious girl is stealing someone in the room!Why?Mrs. Yao couldn't figure it out.Wouldn't it be better for someone with a sweetheart to tell the parents to wait for Mingmei to marry?

"Shuangzhu." Madam Yao called hoarsely outside the door.

Yao Xi on the bed was so frightened that he pushed the empress dowager away, and whispered in a low voice: "Your majesty, hide quickly!"

"There's no need to hide. Shuangzhu, bring him to the side hall." Mrs. Yao put the medicine on the window sill, and said anxiously: "Before you come here, wipe this bottle of medicine on the window sill, it will relieve pain and dissolve stasis."

Yao Xi was naked and was pressed down by the Empress Dowager, her pupils were shaking uncomfortably and said: "My Lady, what should I do?" She was so anxious that she could speak in a crying voice.

Wan Yu lowered her head and kissed Yao Xi, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Ai will support you when the sky falls." She can't hide now, and if she leaves, Yao Xi won't be able to explain clearly.We still have to be together for the rest of our lives, so it's okay to always hide things, it's fine to just open up.

***

Yao Hezheng and Mrs. Yao sat in the side hall with solemn expressions.

Wan Yu walked in generously, Yao Xi hid behind the empress, too shy to raise her head.

"Empress Dowager?" Yao Hezheng was very surprised.Mrs. Yao didn't know the Empress Dowager, so she showed a horrified expression after hearing what her husband said.Yao Hezheng's surprise was quickly covered up by grief and indignation. He saluted the Empress Dowager with a cold face, and then said, "Can I ask you to stay away for a while? Caomin wants to ask Shuangzhu a few words."

Wan Yu was afraid that Yao Hezheng would break the law, so she stood in front of Yao Xi and refused to leave. Yao Xi gently tugged on the sleeve of the empress and said, "It's okay. Empress, you go out first!" She can't let the empress take care of everything. with.

Wan Yu had to go out.

"Did the Empress Dowager force you, or did you do it voluntarily?" Yao Hezheng's tone was much gentler towards his daughter.The daughter is alone in the palace, it is inevitable that she will be involuntary.Rather than being angry, he blamed himself more for not protecting his daughter well.

Yao Xi said firmly: "I did it voluntarily. My empress and I really love each other."

"Have you made a contract?" Yao Hezheng asked.

Yao Xi shook his head hesitantly: "No."

That's adultery without a matchmaker.This is too serious, Yao Hezheng couldn't bear to say it. "Daddy has never raised you or taught you, so he is not qualified to control you. Daddy doesn't care who you fall in love with, but no matter who you are, you can't lack courtesy. You can be with the queen mother, in front of your parents Make a bond! My daughter of the Yao family must not be wronged, she must follow someone without knowing it."

Yao Xi was stunned.She thought that her parents would think that she had humiliated the Yao family and scolded her severely, but she didn't expect that although her parents were sad, they were only worried about whether she would be wronged.Yao Xi knelt down on both knees and made a big salute to the elders.She came out to her family, which is hard to understand even in the 21st century.But Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao accepted it because of her words of sincere love.

Mrs. Yao stepped forward to help Yao Xi up and said, "Don't kneel, you won't be afraid of hurting your knees again. Your father is right, everything must be made clear. You invite the Empress Dowager to come in, if she is willing to form a bond and pledge her blessings You, if she is unwilling, you are not allowed to despise yourself and follow her into the palace."

"Yeah." Yao Xi nodded with tears in his smile.

Of course, Wan Yu is willing to do so.She was laying the pen and laying the paper, while Yao Xi was grinding the ink beside her, and the deed was finished in no time.

"Uncle, please read it." Wan Yu had never written such a thing, and was afraid that something might be wrong.

Yao Hezheng took the deed and didn't read it carefully, but said: "Concluding the deed is just a matter of etiquette, the key depends on how the empress does."

"Uncle, don't worry." Wan Yu's posture was lower than ever.She is not only grateful to Yao Hezheng for his fulfillment, but also admires his character.Wan Yu solemnly signed her name on the signature. She didn't use stamped meat, but directly bit her index finger and drew the bet.

Yao Xi watched in horror.She felt sorry for her mother and worried about herself.The empress bit her finger to show her sincerity. It would be bad if she didn't bleed a little.But she is afraid of pain... After Yao Xi finished writing his name, he looked at his index finger hesitantly.

Wan Yu took Yao Xi's hand, wiped her blood on her fingertips, and said with a smile, "Cover it."

Seeing this scene, Yao Hezheng was relieved a lot.

After the contract was concluded, Wan Yu knelt down on the ground with a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it!" Mrs. Yao was terrified.Although it was the first time for her to see the Empress Dowager herself, she had heard a lot of rumors, for example, the Empress Dowager would not kneel when she saw the late emperor.

Yao Xi also took the tea and knelt beside the empress.

"After the contract, Shuangzhu and I are lovers, and my uncle and aunt are also my parents." Wan Yu offered tea respectfully, and said to the two elders: "Father, mother. Please use tea."

Yao Xi stared at the side face of the empress, and the happiness in his heart was about to overflow.

After the contract was concluded, Yao Xi and the Empress Dowager went back to the room.

Mrs. Yao sat in the side hall holding a cup of tea and said, "Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to hug our grandson."

Yao Hezheng lowered his head and blew on the floating leaves, "How could it be? After Madam takes care of her body, we..."

Mrs. Yao pushed her husband coquettishly, and said with a blushing face, "You are old. How old are we?"

"The husband means that when Madam takes care of her body, we will take a child from the clan. What does Madam think?" Yao Hezheng said with a smile. "Okay, go to sleep. I have to go to the palace to face the saint tomorrow."

***

Wan Yu did not dare to stay in Yao's residence for a long time, for fear of attracting assassins.When Yao Xi came back from watching his grandfather, he took her back to the palace.

Yao Hezheng, his wife and Yao Shuanglan came out to see them off. Yao Shuanglan couldn't help lowering her head and laughing when she saw the bustling street across the street, which seemed to be a new house.

"Sister, I'm going back to the palace, and you're smiling so happily. Hmph!" Yao Xi pretended to be angry while sitting in the carriage.

"No..." Yao Shuanglan really couldn't hide the smile on her face, so she had to explain: "My sister is happy for you." She was not present when the Empress Dowager and her younger sister formed the bond, and she only heard what her younger sister said the next day.She was very happy, not only for her sister, but also for herself.Maybe she and Longyi can do it too?Yao Shuanglan smiled again and forgot to look at the street.

Wan Yu is very low-key for fear of causing trouble.In Yao Mansion, except for the four righteous masters and Liu Fang, no one knew that she was here.She came and left silently, and she was still hidden in the big box and carried into the carriage, and she dared to get out when she got into the carriage.

"Haha, Your Majesty has been wronged." Yao Xi felt distressed and amused seeing her embarrassed appearance.

"Then you're still laughing?" Wan Yu kissed Yao Xi angrily.

The two chatted and laughed all the way, and when they got out of the car, Yao Xi froze for a moment. "Your Majesty, is this Ning'an Palace?"

The rebuilt Ning'an Palace is more magnificent than before.

Wan Yu took Yao Xi's hand and said, "Yes. We can move back." In fact, she was a bit reluctant to part with Longyi's palace, which contained too many happy memories of her and Yao Xi.But it's just a little reluctance, after all, she and Yao Xi are creating new happy memories every day. "Go, Aijia will take you somewhere."

After Wan Yu finished speaking, she dragged Yao Xi straight to the bedroom.

"Your Majesty is really bad." Yao Xi consciously untied his clothes, and prepared to fight the Empress for [-] rounds as soon as he arrived at the bedroom.When she was at home, because she was bumped into by her mother, even if she was in the same room with her mother, she dared not do anything else.

Wan Yu just dragged Yao Xi away, not noticing that she had already taken off her clothes.After entering the dormitory, Wan Yu went to the bed, and Yao Xi obediently followed her and lay down on the bed with a thousand postures, waving a handkerchief and saying in a devilish way: "Young lady~ come~"

"What are you doing?" Wan Yu was puzzled at first, and then understood immediately, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten up. "What's going on in that little head of yours all day long?"

"What else can it be? It's all you!" Yao Xi closed his clothes in frustration, sat up and said, "I don't want to talk to you anymore."

Wan Yu pulled Yao Xi to give him a deep kiss, and coaxed softly, "Don't be angry. Aijia will show you something." After saying that, she stretched out her hand and pressed down heavily on the mechanism at the head of the bed.

The stone brick floor under his feet suddenly started to shake, Yao Xi was so frightened that he hugged the Empress Dowager tightly and said: "My Lady, there is an earthquake!!!"

"Silly girl, it's the agency to the basement." Wan Yu said calmly with her arms around Yao Xi's waist.A piece of stone brick was removed on the ground in front of the bed, revealing the secret passage leading to the basement. Wan Yu led Yao Xi down the stone steps. When she reached the end, she took out a key from her waist and opened the door of the basement.

The walls of the basement are made of fluorite, which can be seen without lighting.

The colorful light of fluorite reflects on the mountains of gold, silver and jewels in the basement, which is as beautiful as the deep sea.

Wan Yu handed the key to Yao Xi and said, "The Ai family said that everything about me belongs to you."
