Yao Xi wakes up to find that he has fallen out of favor.

Obviously, the Empress Dowager took her with her when she went to Qianqing Palace yesterday, but she would not take her with her if she went again today.She didn't get up late, but when she rushed to serve in the palace, the elder sister of the maid who was cleaning told her that the mother had gone to the Qianqing Palace.

This made Yao Xi very uneasy.

She is a servant of Ning'an Palace, even if she recognizes a noble elder sister, in the final analysis, the matter of leaving the palace cannot be accomplished without the Empress Dowager nodding her head.Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, if she falls out of favor, she will lose the chance to give gifts to the palace masters and get rewards.This can't work, she has to save money to leave the palace!

Lan Guiren, who mistook her for her younger brother, might help her with money, but she knew that she was someone else's identity, even if Lan Guiren wanted to give it to her, she would have no face to ask for it!

Yao Xi began to think about how he made the empress dowager unhappy yesterday, and he had to find a way to remedy it.

The empress did not refuse to resist when she was tempted?Talking nonsense while pretending to be drunk?Or didn't let the empress dowager who has a special hobby play with herself?She thought about it a lot, but she couldn't figure it out.

Say something disrespectful.The empress dowager may have a mental or psychological illness. She is not a patient and really cannot understand the world of the empress dowager.

The empress will not want her to serve her for a while, so Yao Xi wants to take advantage of this moment to go to the Siyuan Bureau.She had to find an old eunuch to inquire about the situation of Yao's family. If she got cheated on by Lan Guiren, she might not be able to hide her true identity for a long time.

***

In the Qianqing Palace.

When Emperor Ming Cheng heard that Wan Yu was coming, he ordered Tang Huaili to take everyone out, so that Lan Guiren could also avoid it for a while.

He had to have a good chat with Wan Yu, and let Wan Yu put away those thoughts she shouldn't have about him.When the late emperor was there, Wan Yu never framed anyone because of jealousy, presumably it was because the late emperor was not on his mind.

Arrested the eunuch in his own palace yesterday, lied and framed Lan Guiren?

Wan Yu did this, and he didn't care about it. If someone else dared to gossip like this, he would have already punished him.Wan Yu has done a lot for him over the years, and he has a lot to bear at a young age. He likes to talk to Wan Yu, but he can't think of that kind of thing.

Wan Yu gave him the feeling that Long Yi was very similar, they were both younger sisters, but they were more important.Long Yi and him are far apart, but Wan Yu and him are of the same mind.

"I plan to go if the Queen Mother doesn't come." Emperor Ming Cheng sat down in front of the Kang table, fiddling with the teacup on the Kang table uneasily.

Wan Yu asked all the attendants to wait outside. She entered the palace alone to meet Emperor Ming Cheng. After she entered the palace, she sat down at the other end of the kang table and asked, "Is there something to do with Ai's family? Then tell me first!" She happened to be a little I'm sorry to mention the matter of wanting to hire Yao Xi.

"Okay. Then I'll say it first." Emperor Ming Cheng was also a little hard to say. He thought in his heart how to say this, so as not to hurt Wan Yu, but also to make her recognize the facts and give up on him.He thought for a long time before he said tactfully: "The queen mother knows about my relationship with me, right?"

What kind of silly question is this?Mother and son!

But Wan Yu shook her head intentionally with a smirk, she wanted to hear Emperor Ming Cheng himself admit: "The Ai family doesn't know! Why don't the emperor tell the Ai family?" After so many years, even a stone can cover the heat, and the emperor is also the time After calling her mother-in-law, Wan Yu lay on the kang table and looked at Emperor Ming Cheng expectantly with her chin resting on her face.

well!This girl is really deceiving herself.If Wan Yu's crazy temper is allowed to run wild, she may not cause any big troubles. In order to lead Wan Yu to the right path, Emperor Ming Cheng could only say bluntly: "You and I have always talked straight and straight, and I will not beat around the bush anymore. .Wan Yu! I understand how you feel about me, but I only regard you as my younger sister, and I can't have any affection for you."

"What do you think of Ai's family?" Wan Yu narrowed her eyes.What is the love between men and women?Who the hell wants to have sex with you?

"Sister." Emperor Ming Cheng saw that Wan Yu's face changed with sadness, and suddenly felt distressed.

It's not surprising that Wan Yu knew that he belonged to him. No matter how good the late emperor treated Wan Yu, there was still so much age difference between the two of them.It is easy for Wan Yu to have admiration for the late emperor, but it is difficult to have a heart of love.He and Wan Yu are only ten years apart, and they have gone through so many ups and downs together. He considers himself to be handsome, gentle and humble, and treats Wan Yu even better.In this case, it's strange that Wan Yu is not tempted by him.

"Even if you don't recognize the Ai family as a stepmother, don't you think that the Ai family is an elder? Do you regard the Ai family as your younger sister? Then the late emperor is your brother-in-law?" Wan Yu eagerly waited for her son to recognize her mother, but in the end she was waiting for a brother. "What is the love between men and women? If you dare to think about Aijia like that, you are not as good as a beast."

"You don't mean that to me?" Emperor Ming Cheng suddenly felt a faint sense of loss.He didn't want to have anything to do with Wan Yu, but Wan Yu resolutely and ruthlessly denied his charm. As an emperor with many concubines, Emperor Ming Cheng was still a little inexplicably disappointed. "Then why are you eating Lan Guiren's vinegar?"

Has she been jealous of Mrs. Lan?It seems to have a sour feeling...

But that's because of the eunuch and not because of Emperor Ming Cheng!

"The Ai family didn't wrong her! It's okay not to mention her. The Ai family treats you as their own. What about you? You forget your mother when you have a daughter-in-law. As soon as you bring her back, tell the Ai family not to come to the Qing Palace. These few days I don’t come here to say hello anymore.” Wan Yu really felt aggrieved.Perhaps the reason why she is attracted to the eunuch is precisely because the eunuch is the only one who loves her wholeheartedly and without expecting anything in return!

"There is no one in the Wan family. Once the late emperor left, the Ai family in this palace only had some friendship with you? No matter what you think of the Ai family, the Ai family will always treat you as their own son." The last sentence When the words came out, Wan Yu felt a little dark in her heart.She wasn't really sad, but she took the opportunity to show her sympathy, and pulled the emperor away from Lan Guiren to her side.

Emperor Ming Cheng was in a strange mood.The words sound like good words, but why is he not in a good mood when he hears them?

"The Empress Dowager will always be my family!" Emperor Ming Cheng said as he took Wan Yu's hand affectionately, and Wan Yu, as usual, withdrew his hand back in disgust.Emperor Ming Cheng couldn't help smiling wryly when he saw Wan Yu's dislike for him, he really thought too much. "By the way, why is the queen mother here?"

Wan Yu played with her nails, and said as casually as possible: "Aijia wants to accept a male favorite." She kept her head down while speaking, not daring to look at Emperor Ming Cheng.

Emperor Ming Cheng's mood became complicated again, with a feeling of sadness that a daughter can't keep when she grows up.But the female college did not stay. Wan Yu, who is in her 20s, is so pitiful that she is always single, so she asked, "Is there anyone else? Or do you want me to help you find one?"

"Someone has chosen." Wan Yu could feel her face burning slightly.She has never been a thin-skinned person, but she was not decisive enough in accepting Yao Xi, she hesitated and procrastinated.

"Oh? Then which palace does the Empress Dowager plan to raise her in?" Emperor Ming Cheng couldn't help being curious.He really wanted to know what kind of man Wan Yu, who didn't fall in love with the late emperor or him, finally fell in love with.It has been five years since the late emperor left, and this is the first time that Wan Yu has thought about someone like this.

Wan Yu felt that her lips were a little dry, so she poured a cup of tea to moisten her throat and said, "I will keep it in the palace."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Ming Cheng frowned and said: "I feel sorry for you being alone, and there is no real relationship between husband and wife with the late emperor. I intend to help you, but it is too foolish for you to let the man stay in the palace."

etc.Wan Yu also frowned, what did she hear just now? "What do you mean Ai's family and the first emperor are not husband and wife? Have you looked through the records of the respect room?" Wan Yu's face turned even redder. Feng Qian, this unlucky child, is too wretched.

The unreasonable Emperor Ming Cheng refused to answer Wan Yu's question, but said: "In short, no men are allowed in the palace, and the queen mother can accept male favors. First, they can only be raised in the palace. Second, if the queen mother has an heir, it is Wan's family, not Feng. My family has no right of succession to the royal family. Third, I need to take a look at that man."

Wan Yu also didn't want to be entangled in the fact that Emperor Ming Cheng checked the records of the respect room, the emperor was shameless and she wanted shame! "Why do you have to take a look? It's not your choice to choose a concubine for the Ai family to accept male favors!"

Emperor Ming Cheng said earnestly: "I am doing it for your own good. You are young and rarely deal with men, so it is inevitable that you will be mistaken."

If it wasn't for the addition of an uneasy nobleman, she would have to coax some emperors, and Wan Yu really wanted to push back.Make her look away?And don't look at what kind of women you are looking for yourself! "No! The Ai family wants to hire eunuchs, so the first and second items are not a problem."

"Eunuch?" Emperor Ming Cheng's surprise was written all over his face: "Take an eunuch as a male favourite???" Does Wan Yu, a silly girl, know what a male favourite is?Emperor Ming Cheng knew that there was a very bad atmosphere in the palace, and concubines who had been unfavorable for a long time would let the good-looking eunuchs around them be the eunuchs who went to bed.

But that was the helpless move of the concubines, and Wan Yu didn't have to wrong herself.

"Queen Mother!" Emperor Ming Cheng really felt like being both a father and a mother at the same time, feeling that an ignorant daughter was about to get married, and some knowledge could only be imparted by him. "Eunuchs can't be male favorites. They..." Emperor Ming Cheng was very embarrassed and didn't know how to tell Wan Yu.

"Because I can't sleep with you?" Wan Yu coldly interrupted what Emperor Ming Cheng wanted to say. "The Ai family has a caring slave who wants to stay by their side, and it's not that they are empty and lonely and want to sleep with a man! Can you stop imposing your way of picking women on the Ai family?" All she wanted was Yao Xi, not any man.

"That's right." Emperor Ming Cheng was reminded by Wan Yu: "I plan to promote Lan Guiren to Jieyu, and the Queen Mother can help choose a date?"

"Consecutive promotion to four levels? Her Yao family hasn't overturned the case yet! She hasn't given birth to any children, so why should she be promoted to four levels?" Wan Yu felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy.But she didn't want to quarrel with the emperor because Lan Guiren had a bad relationship in the first place, and the quarrel would be gone.Then he changed his smiling face and said, "Ai's family chooses a date? Okay! Then let's Ding Weinian."

"Ding Weinian..." Emperor Ming Cheng thought for a while, "If I remember correctly, last year was Ding Weinian, right?"

"Oh." Wan Yu said with a smirk: "That's right. The day when she grows old with the emperor is the time when she will be named Jieyu."

Emperor Ming Cheng was amused: "According to the auspicious words of the Empress Dowager, it seems that I can live to be more than 90 years old without saying anything."

Wan Yu smiled and suddenly said: "That's right. Nine out of ten assassins in Ning'an Palace that day were sent by Zhu Xiangchang. The three-day deadline for Yang Qixuan is coming soon. Your Majesty, you know what to do with the assassination." It should have nothing to do with the queen, just copy the Zhu family, don't affect the queen and Feng Xin."

If there was no Lan Guiren who suddenly ran out of the cold palace, Wan Yu would not mind letting Emperor Mingcheng change to a better empress.But now it's different, with Mrs. Lan, the silly girl of the queen looks extra cute.At this juncture, the queen cannot be moved, so as not to make room for others.

However, the Zhu family still needs to be cleaned up. It is necessary to ransack the whole family and shut them down for a few years.Otherwise, those people thought that there would be no consequences for assassinating her!

"Zhu Xiangchang?" Emperor Ming Cheng obviously didn't expect it: "Because the Shu County Ferry asked him for 300 million taels?"

Wan Yu nodded and said: "It's good that the emperor has an idea in mind, Ai's family will go back first. Also, you have to spoil the nobleman and Ai's family will not object, and don't break the rules. It's too much to be promoted from a noble person to Jieyu. people!"

"The empress dowager forgot? You were the imperial concubine when you first entered the palace, and you have no family background or heirs." Emperor Ming Cheng laughed. "Rules are determined by people. The Queen Mother will help you choose a date seriously. I will take her to the Queen Mother to kowtow and serve tea."

Wan Yu stood there in a daze for a few seconds.Kowtow to serve tea?The emperor is truly moved!Women in the palace who are granted the title of Jin usually go to the queen's palace to kowtow.Kowtow and serve tea to her?That's something only a maiden in the palace can do.

"Okay. The Ai family ordered someone to choose an auspicious day." Wan Yu smiled at Emperor Ming Cheng.Emperor Ming Cheng has a heart of fulfillment towards her, and she should also have a heart of fulfillment towards Emperor Ming Cheng.If you like evildoers, you will like evildoers. With her watching for the emperor, I understand that the Yao family will not make any big troubles.

Speaking of which, both Lan Guiren and the little eunuch are surnamed Yao.The two have the same surname but very different personalities!Look at how honest her little eunuch is.

Wan Yu went to Ning'an Palace after leaving Qianqing Palace.

Xianqian rushed out to greet her: "Is your mother coming to see the progress of the reconstruction? It will take a while!"

Wan Yu waved her hand and said, "Follow Ai's family to the warehouse to pick up some things." She wanted to hire a young eunuch in a grand manner.
