Long Yi and Wan Yu talked a lot, and they actually have many similarities.Such as being similar in age, such as losing parents, such as not caring about the affairs of the harem.

It's not that Long Yi loves to talk to Wan Yu.She was only a little moved by the dowry matter, and her dislike for Wan Yu was much less, but it was far from liking her.She babbled and tried hard to talk to Wan Yu, just to buy more time for Lan Guiren and Yao Xi to spend together.

It was not easy for the siblings to talk to each other last time. If she left, if the queen mother summoned Yao Xi to serve her and found that he was not here but was talking to Lan Guiren in her palace, she would definitely misunderstand what was going on between the two of them. up.

But the two people who had been at loggerheads for more than ten years suddenly reconciled, and there was really very little they could say, and Long Yi gradually couldn't bear it anymore.She chatted with Wan Yu about the weather and food, about the latest fashion jewelry and clothes in the capital, and even about some interesting things about her when she was in the fiefdom.

Wan Yu is no better than Long Yi, and she even misses the old Long Yi who ignored her.

Today's Longyi really seemed to be a different person, trying very hard to find a topic to talk to her, Wan Yu knew that Longyi had good intentions, and was trying her best to ease the relationship with her.But she was really tired from answering the conversation, she was really not interested in what Long Yi was talking about, she could only smile politely, nod from time to time or sigh a few compliments.

She had never been so aggrieved in chatting with people.I have always scolded when I wanted to, turned my face when I wanted to, and kicked people away if I didn't want to.But at the moment, she is playing an amiable, great mother who has just settled her feud with her stepdaughter.She couldn't show face, couldn't lose her temper, she could only nod slightly with a smile.

This is also the reason why she doesn't want to pretend to be a good person, she's so aggrieved! ! !

Fortunately, when the two of them had nothing to say and fell into silence, Longyi saw Yao Xi passing by outside the hall and returning to the guard room.

"The empress dowager must be tired after such a big incident happened last night, so Longyi won't bother you any more." Longyi smiled as if relieved and got up to speak.

Wan Yu also nodded kindly and said, "Okay." Longyi was about to leave, and Wan Yu secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

When Long Yi left, he was actually a little apprehensive.Wan Yu's concern about her marriage may be out of good intentions, but it's definitely not a good thing.The matter of choosing a son-in-law has been mentioned countless times by the Ministry of Rites over the years, but she has pushed them all away.She didn't have the idea of ​​choosing a son-in-law, not long after Lan Guiren entered the palace as a companion when she was young.However, she is the eldest princess, and her marriage is not only a family matter but also a state matter.

Princess Daxing is 27 years old and still unmarried, she is already a joke in the public.

She doesn't care, but the rest of the Feng family may not care, such as her brothers and sisters who stir up trouble.Not to mention that there are still many old ministers who think they are looking out for the Feng family's face, and they keep urging them all day long.She can bear all these, what she fears most is the concern from Wan Yu.

Once Wan Yu worried about her marriage, with the temper of the emperor's brother, he would definitely agree. After the emperor and queen mother had spoken, everyone in the Feng family and the ministers of the court would definitely rush forward to force her to submit.She has no father and no mother, and the emperor is not a direct brother, so if she wants to refuse to submit, she will have to make a big fuss.

Long Yi is the kind of person whose emotions are written all over his face. When he returned home, seeing Lan Guiren was still waiting for her, he forced a smile on his face.

"Why are you so unhappy?" Yao Shuanglan could tell that Longyi had something on his mind.She didn't go back to Qianqing Palace immediately after talking with her younger brother, thinking about waiting for Long Yi to come back and say goodbye before leaving.

"The Queen Mother seems to be worried about my marriage..." Long Yi said with a wry smile.

Yao Shuanglan's heart suddenly ached.Is the empress dowager going to choose a son-in-law for Long Yi?

Seeing that Lan Guiren's expression was not good upon hearing this, Long Yi felt much more at ease.But in order to get Lan Guiren's heart closer to her, he deliberately said: "You used to want me to give up. I can't make up my own mind about the marriage. The queen mother is gone. If the queen mother comes forward in person, I can't bear this matter. .or……"

Yao Shuanglan knew what Longyi wanted to say, and Longyi must have wanted to say: How about we forget about it!

She had said this to Longyi countless times, and every time Longyi was determined not to give up and stood by her side quietly, this time it seemed that it was her turn to never leave Longyi.But she couldn't bear it, since the day she was taken into the palace by the emperor, she was not qualified to ask Long Yi to wait for her. "I hope Her Royal Highness can pick a good husband! The concubine wishes the eldest princess and the son-in-law..." Yao Shuanglan choked up as she spoke.

"Stupid or not!" Long Yi took Lan Guiren into his arms distressedly and said, "Is it interesting to say such things against your will? Besides, do you know what I was going to say and drive me away?"

"Didn't you want to say that we can forget about it?" Yao Shuanglan said quietly.It was the first time that she was so afraid of losing Longyi, perhaps it was Longyi's persistence over the years that gave her confidence.She is also a bitch, she used to want to push Longyi away and thought it was for Longyi's own good, but when she found out that Longyi might recruit a man to spend the rest of her life with him, she felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Long Yi arrived in Lan Guiren's ear and said: "I just want to say. Why don't you want me? Don't be robbed by others."

Yao Shuanglan smiled through tears: "If I don't want you, will I be snatched away?"

"Not at all..." Long Yi, who failed to succeed in his treacherous scheme, said unwillingly: "I was thinking that it's rare that the emperor is too busy to take care of you today...Of course I won't touch you. It's perfect if you haven't served the bed. body. But you can touch me, touch me as you like!" After speaking with a smirk, he dragged Lan Guiren to the bedroom.

Yao Shuanglan smiled and stood still. She pulled Longyi back into her arms, tiptoed and kissed Longyi, and said, "I have something to discuss with Eunuch Tang. I have to go back to Qianqing Palace." Eunuch Tang and Dad are good friends , these years have been secretly investigating, trying to help the Yao family reverse the case.The fact that her younger brother entered the palace made her suspect that the case back then might be related to Dongchang Meng Delai, and she wanted to ask Eunuch Tang what he had found.

Obviously, Longyi was not satisfied with just being pecked lightly, hugged Lan Guiren's waist, lowered his head and kissed her deeply for a long time before reluctantly letting go: "Come here when you are free."

The first thing Yao Xi did after returning to the mansion was to fasten the door latch and undo the chest wrap to let his chest breathe for a while.She escaped and rescued her last night. After she fainted, she slept in the empress's bedroom for the whole night, and her chest was strangled for two days. It was really uncomfortable.

This is actually good news. It shows that the Empress Dowager did not touch her while she was asleep last night. I still have to thank the great aunt who descended from the sky!If it wasn't for the empress who thought her knife was split open and thought she was disgusting, with her unpretentious temperament, it would be possible to pick her up.

The empress has a habit of playing tricks on fainted people, she still remembers this.The empress didn't take off her clothes, but she didn't know if she did other strange things to her while she was unconscious. The last time she was drunk and pretended to be sleeping, the empress beat her head like a wooden fish. What did you play.

She didn't dare to think about it, the more she thought about it, the weirder it became.

The moment Yao Xi unwrapped his chest cloth, he showed a relaxed expression.When will such a day be the end!Yao Xi looked down at the two dangling lumps of flesh on his chest, and worried about money again.With the help of Princess Longyi, leaving the palace is not difficult.The difficulty is money!After she left the palace, she didn't dare to really go to the eldest princess's fief to borrow.

Just taking a breath, there was another desperate voice from outside the door.

"Eunuch Yao! The Empress Dowager is calling you over!" The messenger was a court lady.

"Immediately!" Yao Xi picked up the long chest cloth with a mournful face, and started the last process of making a mummy that had been repeated countless times.

***

Concubine Liu Xian casually asked her aunt while eating her breakfast: "The rumors about the empress having an affair with a fake eunuch spread?"

The aunt replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the servants have found a bragging beggar according to your Majesty's orders, the rumors that the Empress Madam is having an affair with a fake eunuch, and that the second prince is not the emperor's flesh and blood, I'm afraid it will spread all over the streets and alleys soon. "

"En." Concubine Liu Xian didn't ask any more.It doesn't matter whether the queen has an affair or not, gossip will soon spread from outside the palace to the palace.People's words are terrible, as long as the emperor becomes suspicious, Feng Xin's wild reputation will not be cleansed, and the queen's good life will come to an end.

There are fake eunuchs in the palace, but there are a few princes and princesses who will never be suspected by the emperor that they are not their own flesh and blood.Because anyone who looks at it has similarities with the emperor, whether it is eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips, or facial contours.And that Feng Xin really doesn't look like the emperor at all, maybe he really is a bastard.

In the tea house, the beggar Ah Jin swaggered and sat down at an empty table under the gaze of everyone.The guests ate wine, drank tea and chatted, and suddenly there was a dirty and smelly beggar beside them, and they all showed disgust.

The waiter got the shopkeeper's order and came over to chase him away: "Ah Jin, why don't you just squat at the door and beg for food, come in and beg for beating?"

A Jin took out a few pieces of silver and slapped it on the table, straightening his back: "Give me a jug of good wine, and half a catty of pork head meat, a tael of sesame candy, a couple of taels of peanuts, and a couple of taels of boiled chestnuts!"

Some of the guests often saw Ah Jin, and asked with a smile: "Hey, Ah Jin, have you gotten rich?"

Ajin smiled without saying a word, and drank on his own after waiting for the food and wine to be served.After a few glasses of wine, he flirted with others as usual: "Grandpa Jin is in a good mood today, let me tell you a shocking event—"

The tea guests ignored Ah Jin.

A Jin saw that it was useless to play tricks, so in order to attract people's attention, he suddenly said: "Our second prince of Daxing! In fact, he was born to the empress and a fake eunuch."

If the officials heard this kind of words, they would be sent to prison. The shopkeeper of the tea house was afraid of being implicated by Ah Jin and came over to drive them out, but the tea guests became interested and asked Ah Jin, "Who did you listen to?"

A Jin slammed the table and said to the shopkeeper: "I spend my own money to eat and drink, and you can't drive me away after you collect the money!" After the shopkeeper left with a sigh, A Jin said in a mysterious way: "Listen to the second prince. What my father said! The empress was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she sent the fake eunuch out of the palace. As a result, the eunuch got addicted to gambling, lost all the money the empress dowager gave him, and became a beggar. One day I met under the overpass He was about to die of illness, that man told me himself."

"However, people who have heard the emperor and the second prince say that the second prince does not look like our emperor at all." Among the tea guests, someone who had seen the world thoughtfully said.His words seemed to confirm Ah Jin's words. The tea drinkers who were just chatting at first believed them half to eighty percent, and asked Ah Jin many things.

Ah Jin enjoys the feeling of people asking questions all around him.He followed what others told him, and said it with eyes.He did this not only to show off, but also to earn the 50 taels of silver that he didn't get.The man said that as long as he spread the matter, in addition to the five taels of silver given to him first, there will be 50 taels after the matter is completed.

How can he let go of the good thing that he can earn 50 taels by moving his mouth?As for criticizing the queen...it is not a capital offense in Daxing, at most it will be sent to prison.To be in prison and to eat in prison is a good place for him, a beggar who has not finished his meal.
