The atmosphere in the Snappers was as sad as a mourning hall.

Yao Xi, who is about to usher in the third parting, looks at the pile of treasures on the kang table that he has carried back with his own hands. He can't express his pain, and he can't shed tears.

Yao Xi was overjoyed to death.The empress dowager accepted the fact that she was a woman calmly, very calmly, without any trace of blame.The empress didn't ask anything, just let it go, don't mention it again.The empress also said that her feelings for her were not just liking but love, and that no one would be able to hurt her in the future.

Everything is so perfect!

Until the empress's stinginess came up again, and she wanted to seize the reward that she had been busy for a long time.It was pure happiness before, but now there are many other emotions in that happiness.Such as distress and unwillingness.

In fact, following the empress dowager is not short of anything, and the cost of food and clothing is the best in the world.The empress was only stingy with her on gold and silver, and never skimped on things.She planned to stay in the palace for a long time, and with the Empress Dowager as her backer, there was really nothing that needed to be managed with money.

But as the saying goes!With food in hand, don't panic.

If one day the relationship between her and the empress fades away, at least she has some money to go out of the palace and settle down.Even if she has always been in love with the empress dowager, due to her unpredictable temperament, there will inevitably be small bumps between the two of them. If you have money by your side, if you are wronged, you can be tougher and argue with the empress dowager.

Worst worst, she wouldn't go to bed for two taels of silver, would she?Niangniang doesn't know who she learned so badly from, she is addicted to playing the role of benefactor, obviously what you love and what I want must be done like a business.It's not that she is so noble, it's just that two taels are too cheap!

no.She wants to raise the price!

The clothes had just been untied in the main hall, and before leaving the Nuan Pavilion, Yao Xi tidied up the clothes.As she was putting on her belt, she felt for the pamphlet that Aunt Coriandine had given her tucked into the pocket of her coat.

After she got the brochure in Ning'an Palace, she has been busy giving gifts to the empresses in the palaces, so she didn't bother to read it, and she didn't dare to read it in front of the empress dowager when she came back.Now that the empress is not here, Yao Xi took out the booklet and flipped through it quickly.

It records the likes and dislikes of the empress dowager.

Hi there is only one page and a few articles.The first one is: The empress loves money, so get it in a proper way.

She also knows that the Empress Dowager loves money. As for the right way to get it... This must be the embellishment done by Aunt Qianxi to save her life, so that the booklet will not be angered by the empress who accidentally finds it.A sentence describing the facts and a sentence praising the empress are just right.

I have to say that Aunt Xianqian is really secretive!

But there are too few things that the empress likes!Looking at the half-page that was empty, Yao Xi suddenly smiled and lay down on the kang table, rubbed ink and took a pen to add another sentence on the back: The empress loves Yao Xi more than money.

She picked up the booklet, looked at the newly written line and nodded in satisfaction.

The thick stack at the back was filled with taboos and habits of the empress. Yao Xi didn't dare to stay in the warm pavilion for too long, so he put the booklet in his pocket, and went to the main hall with the pile of rewards he just got.

While Yao Xi was going to pick up things from Nuan Pavilion, Wan Yu opened the palace door and told the maid waiting outside: "The Ai family wants to take a bath, so prepare the bath soup in Lanye Pond."

"Isn't the empress not passing on the meal?" the maid asked cautiously.It's almost time for lunch, isn't your lady hungry?In the past, Aunt Yuanqian was doing the job of instructing the empress to eat. Last time, Aunt Xianxi came back and spoke with the empress before leaving. .

Wan Yu didn't want to eat lunch, at least not until she ate Yao Xi that girl.

Wait a while for Yao Xi to take a bath together in the Lanye Pool, and then let the girl change into a woman's attire... Wan Yu smiled happily and said to the palace lady: "We will talk about the meal later. Burn incense in the Lanye Pool, and give it to the maid." Aijia prepares two sets of clean clothes."

"Yes." The court lady didn't have Aunt Xianqian's desperate professionalism, so she didn't dare to persuade her after hearing what the empress said.

When Wan Yu closed the palace door, Yao Xi came back with things in his hands.The girl's complexion is really not pretty!Hahahahaha! "Is the father-in-law giving a gift or going to the execution ground? His face is so bad. Are you unhappy?"

"Slave is happy." Yao Xi said with a smile.

She didn't have a hard smile, the small disappointment of losing money could never conceal the joy of the Empress Dowager accepting her, anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities to earn money in the palace in the future, she had to always remind herself to be content.Not to mention recovering my life, but also hugging my mother back, this little property is not worth mentioning in comparison.

Yao Xi tried hard to convince himself in his heart.

Huh~ But she couldn't convince her.

The empress is not short of these things, why can't I leave some for her?

"The Ai family can't see that you are happy." Wan Yu pointed to the table and said, "Put down the things! You gave the Ai family something, and the Ai family should return the gift."

Yao Xi's eyes lit up.But thinking of the unframed painting "Loyalty, Justice and Courage" in the Snapper, the light in his eyes dimmed again.Where did the empress really want to give her something, she clearly intended to amuse her.She won't be fooled!Yao Xi's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't raise any expectations.

"Elder-in-law is not curious about what?" Seeing Yao Xisheng's loveless appearance, Wan Yu found it extremely interesting.

"Your Majesty likes all servants." Yao Xi answered perfunctorily.

"Father-in-law doesn't need to receive the moon silver anymore." Wan Yu played with the golden rice dumplings brought over by Yao Xi, and said casually: "Eunuch doesn't work as a eunuch and maid of honor, but as a pamper of Ai's family. Naturally, the method of earning money is the same as that of others. No. There's only one way for my father-in-law to make money—"

Yao Xi sighed.She understood what the empress dowager meant, there would be no monthly silver collar in the future, and if she wanted silver, she would have to sleep with her, two taels at a time.Is this the concubine's return gift?God!

"The slave is willing to serve the empress, but two liang of silver is really too little." Yao Xi's little brain turned again, and his mouth became much smarter under the drive of interests: "The slave can serve the empress for several lifetimes." Blessings, it is said that it is too late to be happy, how dare you accept the money from the empress? But since the empress wants to give the slave silver, the slave dare not let himself be worth only two taels. The empress is the empress dowager of Daxing, the most honorable person, serving the empress The person with you should also be the most expensive in the world!"

"According to my father-in-law, how many times?" Wan Yu smiled.The little girl is really full of ghosts, and she actually used her to raise her own worth.

"Three... 300 taels?" Yao Xi hesitated.She has never been in Fengyuechang, so she doesn't know what the price of the most popular girl is. She vaguely remembers that the empress said that the top girl in Xiangmanlou in Beijing is only 20 taels?But she is the one who serves the empress, so she is expensive!Expensive to death!So the lion opened his mouth.

What if it happens?whee.

"300 taels?" Wan Yu frowned slightly, walked to the chair and sat down slowly: "Father-in-law, are you sure?"

Yao Xi is not sure.Is the empress angry?Do you think that if she doesn't know what is good or bad, she will get cheap, not to mention blackmailing your mother?She was hesitating whether to cut the price for a big sale, when suddenly the Empress Dowager said with a smile: "The Ai family originally wanted to give the father-in-law 1000 taels."

1000 taels?how is this possible!

Yao Xi didn't believe it.This figure was so exaggerated that she had to suspect that this was another hole dug for her by the empress dowager.

After she confessed her identity as a woman, it was already a grace that the empress did not punish her for the crime of deception and still kept her by her side to serve her.The empress can jokingly treat that kind of thing as a business, but she can't.forget it!Being able to accompany the empress is already very happy, don't fall into the pit of being greedy.

"The slave is joking with the empress! The slave adores the empress, and is eager to serve her bed, and will never allow money to tarnish the noble personality of the slave!" Yao Xi said seriously.

Wan Yu smiled lightly, took out a box from the desk drawer, opened it, took 1000 taels of silver and patted it on the desk desk, and said to Yao Xi, "Elder-in-law, have you thought it through? Are you sure you don't want it?"

The slave stared at the banknote and swallowed, and said stubbornly: "No! The slave will never allow money to be tainted..."

Wan Yu interrupted Yao Xi and said, "The Ai family will give the father-in-law one last chance. After passing this village, will there be no shop here?"

Yao Xi's heart was shaking wildly.Why don't you accept it first?If the empress looks wrong, then think of a way to deal with it?Poverty made Yao Xi stretch out his evil little hands.

"Your Majesty isn't teasing the servants, is she?" Yao Xi couldn't hold the money securely, she put her hand on the bank note and didn't dare to take it back immediately, but asked anxiously.

"Of course not." Wan Yu stretched out her hand to snatch the bank note from Yao Xi and said, "But father-in-law doesn't have any money to serve Ai's family, and Ai's family takes the initiative to ask father-in-law to do the work." Wan Yu has already imagined Yao Xi as a little girl in her mind It looks like a money fan has tried his best to seduce her in order to earn money.

Wan Yu took back the banknote and put it back into the box, and when she looked at Yao Xi again, she found that he was gone.

She looked down and saw that Yao Xi was lying on the ground with his belt untied, and said to her with a smile: "Your Majesty, the servant is ready."

A worthless little thing.Didn't you just say that you will never allow money to tarnish your noble personality?

Looking at Yao Xi who was lying on the ground, Wan Yu suppressed her itch and said, "Aijia is not interested right now." Is 1000 taels so easy to earn?Just lay down on the ground?Little things work harder!

***

"Your Majesty, you really have the wrong person!" Yao Shuanglan said helplessly while sitting on the sedan chair to Longyi Palace with Emperor Ming Cheng.

The emperor suddenly wants to confer her the title of Jieyu today.

Although she can avoid the trip to the southern border after entering the palace, she is still the daughter of a criminal minister and has nothing to do, so why is she promoted to four ranks in a row?She also knew that the emperor's favor was not for her, and felt that she deserved it.It was better not to know before, thinking that the emperor favored her only because he was blind, but now he feels like a dove occupying a magpie's nest.

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty held Lan Guiren's hand that he wanted to avoid many times and said: "I was already in the age of dancing elephants, and you were only seven or eight years old. Is my memory more reliable or yours?"

Yao Shuanglan lowered her head in frustration.She really didn't know how to explain it. The emperor believed that the little girl was her because the girl said that she was the companion of Princess Longyi, and Longyi had only had her as a companion since she was a child.Unless the woman is found, the emperor will not believe it.As long as the emperor recognizes her as his benefactor when he was young, he will continue to blindly and deeply love her.The matter between her and Longyi is absolutely impossible...

"Your Majesty, it is not proper for a concubine to serve tea to the Empress Dowager." The nobleman Lan could not bear such great favor, and concubines were always promoted to the Empress Dowager.

Ever since the empress dowager visited the emperor in Huiling Hall, the emperor's mood has improved a lot, but his whole person has changed.It seems that she has given up on the women in the palace, and all her thoughts are on her. Now she doesn't even have the time to talk to Long Yi.

"Zhen is the rule!" Emperor Ming Cheng held Lan Guiren's hand and smiled at her tenderly. "By the way, the queen mother is a child. If she has any ignorance later, don't worry too much. Just follow her. Her heart is not bad."

"The concubine remembers."

In previous years, Emperor Ming Cheng would go to Xiyuan to watch the boat races, but Wan Yu never went to crowded places. Thinking about it carefully, this was his first Dragon Boat Festival with Wan Yu.

When we arrived at the Empress Dowager's Palace, the maid at the door was about to speak loudly when Emperor Ming Cheng made a "shh" gesture.

He wanted to give Wan Yu a surprise. In the past years, Wan Yu lived pitifully alone. This year, he not only rushed here in person, but also brought his daughter-in-law here.It's better than anything else for a family of three to drink and chat together.

Emperor Ming Cheng led Lan Gui and opened the door with a smile.

After the two saw the scene in the hall, Emperor Ming Cheng's smile instantly froze on his face, while Yao Shuanglan looked away anxiously.
