The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

Wan Yu put the copper money jar back on the corner of the table and said to Yao Xi: "In the future, if you need to use silver, you can take it from the money jar yourself. The one who mourns the family is yours."

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Yao Xi moved to the money jar with a cheeky face and small steps. While observing the face of the Empress Dowager, he put his hand into the money jar.She grabbed a handful and was about to put it into her bosom, but when she saw the Empress Dowager looking at her, she let go of it embarrassedly and put it back.

In the end, it was only a few taels of silver that I put into my arms.

"Take it if you want, what are you afraid of?" Wan Yu was amused by Yao Xi's cowardly look.

In fact, there is only a hundred taels in the jar.Moreover, Lan Guiren's visit made her suddenly realize that it is actually impossible to restrain Yao Xi with money.Even if she didn't give Yao Xi a single word, Lan Gui, the elder sister, would still give it.Even her thought that Yao Xi would not be able to escape due to strict palace restrictions was ridiculous. Yao Xi was afraid of revealing his identity and wanted to escape from the palace. How could Noble Lan not help?

Given the bad impression she left on Lan Guiren, it is understandable for them to want to take away her younger sister who is her male favorite and may reveal her identity at any time.If Lan Guiren, the elder sister, is dissatisfied with her and speaks ill of her in front of her younger sister whenever she has the opportunity, even if Yao Xi loves her deeply, she may be shaken one day.That day must also be the day Yao Xi made up his mind to leave her.

She won't let that happen, she won't let anyone or anything try to dilute Yao Xi's love for her.But she couldn't simply and rudely get rid of Lan Guiren, who was Yao Xi's own sister.Since you can't come hard, you can only come soft.

Wan Yu sat back on the chair, managed to squeeze out a kind smile, and told Yao Xi, who was not feeling well, to sit down next to her. As soon as she sat down, she saw Lady Lan leading a few maids carrying boxes into the hall .

Yao Xi saw Lan Guiren leading people in, his eyes widened in surprise.Isn't the maid who is helping Mrs. Lan Rue Xiang?After Lin Zhaoyi's death, was Rue Xiang accused of being given to Lan Guiren?That's fine, Lan Gui is a good master, and Rue Xiang won't be bullied if she follows her.

Yao Shuanglan was very worried on the way to see the empress dowager.The empress dowager hated her, and she might drive her out with everything.But she has to come, this trip is actually for three things: one is to give the Empress Dowager a gift for the Dragon Boat Festival, the other is to invite the Empress Dowager to visit the emperor in Qianqing Palace, and the third, and most importantly, is to visit the sick By the way, the younger brother told him about his new plan to leave the palace.

"The concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager." Yao Shuanglan knelt down after entering the hall without looking sideways.She didn't dare to look at her younger brother, for fear of arousing the empress dowager's suspicion, so she kept her head lowered when saluting.Yesterday, Imperial Physician Fu rushed into the palace in a hurry. Long Yi waited for Imperial Physician Fu to leave and inquired and found out that it was Eunuch Yao who was next to the empress who had contracted a sudden illness. He ordered someone to go to Qianqing Palace to tell her early in the morning.

Only then did she sort out the box of things that the emperor had bestowed upon her, and sent it to the empress dowager as a gift for the Dragon Boat Festival, and took the opportunity to visit her younger brother.When she squatted down to salute, she caught a glimpse of her younger brother sitting beside the empress dowager from the corner of her eye. It seemed that there was no serious problem, so she was relieved a lot.

"Get up! Give Lan Guiren a seat." Wan Yu said to Lan Guiren with a smile: "You have a heart, knowing that the next Dragon Boat Festival Ai's family will not be busy here, so you brought the ceremony earlier."

Yao Shuanglan looked up suspiciously at the empress dowager.She thought she had heard and read wrongly.Is the empress dowager smiling at her?And not only did he not blame her for giving the gift in advance, but he praised her for her heart?Nine times out of ten, the empress's sudden gesture of favor is deceitful.

"Your Majesty, don't blame the concubine for being abrupt and ignorant of etiquette." Yao Shuanglan also smiled and sat down on the chair, ready to accept the move in her heart.

"How could it be?" The smile on Wan Yu's face was as warm as a spring breeze. "You have such filial piety and it's too late to make Ai's family happy. How can you blame you? The emperor is busy with business. If you are bored in Qianqing Palace alone, you can come to Ai's family more often." These words are not all polite.She felt sorry for Yao Xi being separated from his family, so it would be nice if Lan Guiren could come over to see Yao Xi occasionally.

It's just weird.Two daughters born to the same father and mother have very different temperaments.Knowing that Lan Guiren and Yao Xi are actually sisters, Wan Yu's dislike for Lan Guiren has disappeared a lot.She hated Lan Guiren before, mainly because she misunderstood that she likes to hook up with young and good-looking eunuchs.But she still can't like Lan Guiren.

Yao Shuanglan felt more and more uneasy when she heard what the empress dowager said, since not long ago the empress dowager told her not to come again to pay her respects.

For the Empress Dowager to be able to stand in the palace for ten years, there must be some means.The empress also misunderstood that there was adultery between her and her younger brother, even if the empress liked and could not bear to do anything to her younger brother, she would definitely not let her go.The last time the Empress tied an unrelated eunuch to the Qianqing Palace to sue the emperor, it was just the beginning. As far as she knew, none of the people in the palace who offended the Empress had a good end.

What disturbed her the most was, of course, the empress dowager's attitude towards her today.Too good to be true!

Could it be that the empress already has an idea to deal with her, and wants to dispel her guard with soft words?

"The concubine dare not bother the empress." Yao Shuanglan became vigilant.If she readily agreed, the empress would definitely suspect that she came here for Eunuch Yao, right?

Seeing that Lan Gui was very defensive towards her, Wan Yu didn't know what to say.She is good at offending people, but trying to please people... Why don't you just kill her!

"Will your empress go to Xiyuan to watch the dragon boats this year?" Yao Shuanglan picked up the tea that the maid had just served, and asked while pretending to glance at Fuye casually.

She planned to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to send her younger brother to the Longyi fiefdom, but of course the premise was that the Empress Dowager would not stay in her own palace like last year and never go anywhere.Every Dragon Boat Festival, there will be a dragon boat race in Xiyuan.

Wan Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled.Lan Guiren's trick is quite poisonous, let her go to Xiyuan to watch the boat race?Did he expect her to die at the assassin's hands?She wouldn't go where there were crowds of people unless she disguised herself.

"My lord wants Ai's house to go?" Wan Yu's smile turned colder.She thought in her heart: If you were Yao Xi's older sister, the Ai family wouldn't be able to kill you, you little goblin!

Yao Shuanglan felt the subtle change in the Empress Dowager's tone.She also understood that no matter how she answered this question, she would be wrong.I hope my mother will go.There are so many people who want to kill the empress, doesn't she have bad intentions?I don't want my mother to go.The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated all over the world, and Shengjia will drive to Xiyuan in person, so why don't you want your mother to go?

At this time, the only way to advance is to retreat.The nobleman of Lan said softly: "The concubine heard from the emperor that the empress does not like to go to lively places when she is happy. I want to say that if the empress does not dislike it, I would like to make a boat racing picture for the empress when I go to Xiyuan on the Dragon Boat Festival. I am afraid that it will be unnecessary. Only then dared to ask if the empress will come in person?"

"Hmm—" Hearing Lan Guiren's words, Wan Yu didn't seem to have any intention of harming her, so she didn't investigate further. "Ai's family won't go."

Yao Xi sat silently beside the empress dowager, always feeling that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit weird.She peeked at the empress dowager, who had a smile on her face as usual.She secretly looked at Lan Guiren again, Lan Guiren's expression was the same, and she was still smiling gently as usual.

When Yao Xi looked back suspiciously, he found that Rue Xiang, who was standing behind Lan Guiren, was looking at her.She smiled at Rue Xiang, last time in Lin Zhaoyi Palace, Rue Xiang stood up for her, Yao Xi was always grateful for this matter.Seeing Yao Xi looking at her suddenly, Yun Xiang lowered her head shyly, and after a while she dared to raise her head and pretend to look at Yao Xi casually.

Wan Yu was talking with Lan Guiren, when suddenly she saw the palace maid behind Lan Guiren looking at Yao Xi beside her and smiling tenderly.Turning her head, Yao Xi was also looking at the maid and smiling... Wan Yu's complexion instantly became ugly, and she was not in the mood to pretend to be friendly with Lan Guiren.

She felt that the court lady looked familiar, and she recognized it after a closer look, she was the little court lady who served Yao Xi in Lin Zhaoyi Palace.Are the two flirting in front of her face?

Wan Yu recalled what Yao Xi had said when the court lady had just come out of the bath: She looks graceful!

Yao Xi never used such exaggerated words when praising her.

Praise her words: good!

Compliment her appearance: good-looking!

At most one more superficial exclamation: Wow! ! !

And then never again.At that time, she thought that Yao Xi was uneducated, so she didn't care about it.

But what about Yao Xikua's little maid?All of a sudden, there is a literary talent, a set of sour words and pornographic words.She just said, Yao Hezheng is a Jinshi, how could his daughter be so uneducated?

Yao Xi is afraid of revealing his identity in front of her, hiding his front and showing his clumsiness!

Otherwise, a girl who only went to a private school for a few days when she was a child, how could she keep accounts so fast and so well? Although the girl's handwriting is ugly, she knows a lot of handwriting.What kind of private school can teach such children in a few days, and even the private school teacher can go to Beijing to be a young master.

It's not that the girl is uneducated and doesn't know how to praise others, she just doesn't want to praise her!

Ah!Wan Yu glanced at Yao Xi lightly.I'll pack up your little things later!

Lan Guiren was silent for a moment and suddenly said: "The concubine still wants to invite the empress dowager to visit the emperor..."

"What? The emperor has something to do with Ai's family?" Wan Yu originally planned to go to Qianqing Palace.Such a big incident happened in the palace, the emperor must feel uncomfortable, there are not many people in the palace who really care about the emperor, except for her.

Lan Guiren looked worried and said: "It's my concubine's idea. The emperor didn't sleep all night last night, and he didn't go to court this morning. He just sat in front of the late emperor's ever-burning lamp in Huiling Hall."

The emperor didn't allow anyone to serve him, so he just sat there without saying a word.She doesn't love the emperor, and even has some resentment towards the emperor because of the sudden order to call her into the palace, but she really feels distressed seeing the emperor like this.Whether the emperor is to the country and the people, or to her and the Yao family, he is beyond reproach.

Wan Yu was a little touched when he saw Lan Guiren's worried expression when he said this.

Although Lan Guiren's mind is not on the emperor, his concern for the emperor is real at this time.Thinking about it carefully, it was somewhat similar to her feelings for the late emperor, she was also grateful and cared, worried and distressed.But just don't love.

"Because of the fake eunuch?" Wan Yu asked.

"Yes. There are also rumors about Empress Zhu and the second prince..." Lan Guiren didn't want to sue Empress Zhu, but just reported the truth.

"Rumor?" Thinking of Feng Xin's appearance, Wan Yu felt that it might not be a rumor: "You go back later and tell the emperor that Aijia's lunch will be served in Qianqing Palace."

"Yes." Yao Shuanglan agreed.

Wan Yu glanced at the court lady named Yun Xiang, and said to Lan Gui: "There are too few people serving you around, and the quality is not good!" When Wan Yu said this, she deliberately looked at Yun Xiang, and then said: "You The filial piety is commendable and I gave the Ai family a gift, and the Ai family will reward you with two maids!"

After Wan Yu finished speaking, she called two court ladies to come in and said, "Ying'er Fuer. You two will serve by Lady Lan's side from now on. If you don't try your best, the Ai family will be the first to spare you."

One of the two court ladies stared at Rue Xiang and the other at Lan Guiren, just right.In fact, the main thing is to focus on Lan Guiren, Wan Yu knows that Lan Guiren will definitely find a way to send Yao Xi out of the palace.Yao Xi was so cowardly, maybe he didn't dare not to listen to the elder sister's words, so he left in a foolish way.Not only did she have to keep a close eye on Yao Xi, but she also had to be wary of Lan Guiren.

"The concubine thanked the empress for the reward." Yao Shuanglan got up and knelt down to receive the reward, and sighed secretly: The empress dowager has sent two pairs of eyes to stare at her all the time!Alas... In the future, not only will it be impossible to talk to my younger brother, but it will also be inconvenient to find Longyi.

"Okay. You go back! Ai's house will be there in a while." Wan Yu smiled and waved to Lan Guiren.

Yao Shuanglan bent down and saluted, "The concubine will leave."

Lan Guiren led the people who brought them away with Yinger Fuer, Wan Yu ordered the other maids to carry the box away and close the gate, and only she and Yao Xi were left in the hall.

"Elder-in-law!" Wan Yu absent-mindedly played with the golden armor and called Yao Xi.

Yao Xi consciously stood up from the chair.The empress is crazy again.As long as you call her "Eunuch" or "Eunuch Yao", nothing will happen. "The slave is here."

Wan Yu raised her lips and smiled, looked sideways at Yao Xi and said, "Praise and mourn."

WTF?Yao Xi was at a loss.Sure enough, she guessed right, the empress went crazy again. "Then what does the lady want to hear the servant praise?" Anyway, let's talk about what you want to hear from her!

"Don't worry about what the Ai family wants to hear, just say what you want to say." Wan Yu was jealous of Yao Xi's flattering words to that court lady named Yun Xiang, but she kept pretending to be stupid in front of her.

Yao Xi didn't dare to boast, the empress was too difficult to serve, and she would lose her temper if she said something that didn't go well with her.Then he evaded and said: "I haven't studied much, so I really don't know how to speak well. Please forgive my sin."

Wan Yu didn't like Yao Xi's tricks at all, she lied to Yao Xi and said: "The Ai family listened to my father-in-law talking in his sleep last night, but he is very knowledgeable. He speaks well!" How could the daughter raised by Yao and Zheng Zheng's son not be a learned and talented person?

Yao Xi was quite frightened by these words.Did she talk in her sleep last night?Still exported?Could it be that he recited the high school text in front of the empress? "The servant feels that no matter how gorgeous the words are, they are not worthy of the empress. The wind, frost and rain, the flowers of the sun, the moon and mountains, are all compared to the empress..."

"Hmm~" Wan Yu listened lazily.What she wanted to hear was not these empty words, but Yao Xi's innermost thoughts. "Yao Xi. You know that there are many people in this world who want to mourn for their families, right?"

Yao Xi didn't dare to say he knew.Doesn't that mean openly saying that the empress is hated by others?

"If Ai's family will be assassinated tonight. Do you regret not saying anything to Ai's family?" Wan Yu looked at Yao Xi seriously and said.

Yao Xi felt a scalding heat flow through his heart suddenly.

some.very many.But I can't say...

"The servant will protect the empress! Always protect the empress!" Yao Xi squatted down and gently leaned his head on the empress dowager's lap.In fact, she already regards the empress dowager as more important than her own life, but she can't hurt everyone in the Yao family because of her love.

Wan Yu was moved to tears by the word "forever".But she couldn't cry in front of Yao Xi, the tears she shed in Lin Zhaoyi Palace were enough to embarrass her.She gently stroked Yao Xi's head and said, "Don't laugh at others from now on."

"You're not allowed to smile at others?" Yao Xi lay on his mother's lap and raised his face blankly, with a puzzled look on his face.

Wan Yu lightly poked Yao Xi's forehead and said, "Ruxiang, don't try to play dumb! What's the fun with her."

"Ruxiang helped the slaves in Lin Zhaoyi Palace last time..." Yao Xi explained and suddenly burst out laughing. She stood up, bent over and approached the Queen Mother happily and asked: "Your Majesty doesn't allow slaves to laugh. That slave can't laugh." Seeing other people make you look sad, right?" Is the empress jealous because of her?Yao Xi is trying to find evidence that the empress dowager loves her.

Wan Yu pulled Yao Xi into her arms and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear: "It's fine if I don't see other people."

***

Yao Shuanglan didn't go back directly to Qianqing Palace, when she passed by Longyi Palace on the way back, she was stopped by the maid beside Longyi.

"Lady Lan, the Eldest Princess invites you to come in and talk." The palace maid sent a message.

Yao Shuanglan ordered someone to wait outside, and followed the maid to see Longyi.

After entering the room and closing the door, Long Yi put his arms around Lan Guiren's waist and wanted to kiss her, but Lan Guiren resolutely pushed her away. "The empress dowager pointed out two court ladies to follow me. If those two are sharp-eyed, it would be bad if they found out that I messed up my makeup when I came in."

"What did she order people to follow you?" Long Yi let go of Lan Guiren reluctantly.

"Didn't your mother suspect that I have an affair with A Xian?" Yao Shuanglan straightened her clothes and said, "I can't find a chance to talk to A Xian, so I can only leave it to you to send him out of the palace. The Empress Dowager will not go Xiyuan, I think it's better to send A Xian out of the palace at night, when you give the festival gift to the empress, you can also prepare a copy for A Xian, and hide the plan of leaving the palace in the ceremony."

"it is good."

"Have you found the owner of that piece of silk?" Yao Shuanglan felt that if the emperor could reunite with her sweetheart, maybe everything would be fine, and she could also be freed from the misunderstanding.

Long Yi shook his head: "There is no way to find one with just one piece of silk, but I have already started looking for newcomers for Brother Huang in the capital."

"It's different." Yao Shuanglan said softly.

"The love between children can't be real." Longyi still prefers to find another new love for the emperor.

Yao Shuanglan looked at Longyi and smiled: "Is that so? Can the relationship between children be real?"

"Except us." Long Yi said with a sweet smile.

"I have to go back." Yao Shuanglan lightly grabbed Longyi's hand, turned around and went back to Qianqing Palace.

***

Wan Yu went to Qianqing Palace for lunch, and the food was served, but Emperor Ming Cheng was not there.Lan Guiren explained: "Your Majesty, the Emperor still refuses to come out."

Wan Yu ordered someone to bring a tray, picked up a few dishes according to Emperor Cheng's taste, and personally carried the things to the Huiling Hall where the late emperor's ever-burning lamp was placed. "Your Majesty! It's Aijia." Wan Yu said at the door.

"Queen Mother, let's go! I want to be alone for a while." Ming Chengdi didn't even have much strength to speak.

The queen mother ordered to interrogate all the old people who served the concubines who gave birth to the prince and princess, and asked a lot of things.There are even rumors that Feng Xin is not from him. It is said that Feng Xin's biological father, a fake eunuch who was sent out of the palace by the empress, personally told others.Coincidentally, a eunuch in the Queen's Palace did disappear mysteriously several years ago.

The queen followed him very early, and because he was careful, he had someone in his heart, so he felt a little more guilty towards the queen.After ascension to the throne, choosing concubines filled the harem, and there were more and more women around him, but the first wife was the first wife after all, and he cared about the queen.He never thought that the Queen would betray him, even if many people secretly said that Feng Xin was not like him, he never suspected it.

Right now the harem is in chaos, rumors about the queen are everywhere, Lan Guiren also thinks that he doesn't want him to touch her.

"Father, it turns out that everything is empty in the end!" Emperor Ming Cheng looked at the ever-burning lamp of the late emperor and sighed.As expected of a dragon!This sigh actually blew out the late emperor's ever-burning lamp, and Emperor Ming Cheng hurriedly picked up the candle beside him to light up the late emperor's lamp.

The gate of Huiling Hall was closed tightly, Wan Yu summoned two eunuchs and said, "Open the door for Aijia!"

This is the Huiling Hall where the late emperor is enshrined!The two eunuchs were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I dare not."

"Don't you dare? Someone! Drag these two bastards down and cut them off!" Wan Yu purposefully shouted into the room.

The door of Huiling Hall suddenly opened.Emperor Ming Cheng supported the door leaf with both hands, looked at Wan Yu disappointedly and said, "I don't think I have enough troubles? Even you want to step in?"

Holding the food, Wan Yu smiled heartlessly at Emperor Ming Cheng, her eyes bent into beautiful crescent moons, and said softly: "Aijia is here to talk to the emperor." After speaking, she bent down and flexibly opened her eyes from Emperor Ming Cheng. He got into the house under his arm.

Emperor Ming Cheng couldn't get angry when he saw Wan Yu's appearance. He knew that Wan Yu had good intentions.

"You don't need to bring food, I'm not hungry." Emperor Ming Cheng closed the door and did not drive Wan Yu out.

Wan Yu sat on the futon, hugged the tray, picked up the only pair of chopsticks inside and began to pick up vegetables: "What good thing do you want? Aijia brought the food for himself, and wanted to chat with the emperor while eating."

"..." Emperor Ming Cheng secretly swallowed his saliva seeing Wan Yu eating with gusto.
