After washing and changing, I called my maid to ask about last night's affairs in detail.After drinking too much, I have no consciousness at all. How can I come back from the flower building, why is the emperor there, and why can't I smell any alcohol on my body?

"Master, the eldest princess sent you back last night, and the royal driver arrived half an hour later. The queen first ordered us to pour you hangover soup, but you vomited after drinking it. She was a little upset, let us go again Bring a big basin of hot water, and then... drive us all out. The servants don't know what happened after that." The little girl said timidly.That woman is really scary everywhere.

Sniffing myself, there is only a faint fragrance on my body, and the smell of sweat and alcohol from last night has long since disappeared.Did Liu Yueying drive everyone out to wipe my body?I feel incredible in my heart, I have been with her for more than seven years, and she usually needs more than a dozen maids to take care of her daily life, has she ever seen her take care of others?

It's flattering that there's only one answer at the end of the thread.As the emperor, she has done so for me, is she apologizing and bowing her head?But I still did it secretly, and didn't want me to know.

Some unimportant memories will fade away if they are not mentioned and rarely thought about, but some will not—because they may be the meaning of my existence in the world.From the moment Sha Yu said that he would take me away, I recalled many memories from my previous life.Those fragmentary things have not been dreamed for a long time, but recently they have gradually cooled down and the reality has come.

She has always been my belief, from the time I was eight years old in my previous life to now—it has been a full 20 years.The heartache that I couldn't ask for at the beginning fell apart after seeing her, and it seemed that something was going bad.

Liu Yueying didn't wake up until the afternoon, if it was later, Pianqiu would have to ask the imperial doctor to come to my Poyang mansion.

I was burdened with things in my heart, both public and private, and I endured it before and didn't have an outbreak.Now that I have vented everything, I still have to solve it, face it, and have a good talk with the emperor.

In the end, instead of waiting for Yu Jia to come out, it was Pianqiu who came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

"Master Yang," she opened the door and came in, not being polite to me.

"Auntie?" She looked unfriendly, I don't know why.

"I'll just say it straight, my lord." Pianqiu paused for a moment, "My lord didn't listen to half of what the slave told you earlier."

Calling himself a slave does not imply any humility at all.Some repelled her teaching tone: "What did my aunt say before? It's been too long, so I will forget it. What Yang Li did wrong, I hope my aunt will give me some pointers."

"I watched the emperor grow up. For so many years, I have not only regarded her as my master, but also as my relatives. There are some things that the empress will not say, and the servants dare not say. I can only tell the adults. Today's words, If there is something that offends an adult, I will apologize to her."

She lowered her status by saying this.I don't have the title of imperial husband, and I can't be regarded as her master, so there is no such thing as "pleading guilty".If you compare her official position in the imperial court, she is the first rank and equal to me.Thinking of this, he suppressed his hostility and nodded, "Auntie, please tell me."

"Since last autumn, the servant has no idea why the lord and the emperor are at odds. The servant only knows that the emperor has a severe headache recently, the dose of incense has been increased, and he still can't sleep all night. Being a courtier makes the emperor so troublesome, It's for infidelity. Even if you have any quarrel with the emperor, you shouldn't show your face to the emperor. Don't you know who she is and who you are?"

In the past, if she taught me this way, I would definitely be obedient.But today is different.

Every word she said was on my pain point, and to be more precise, it was an unspeakable secret caused by the fragile trust and chaotic relationship between Liu Yueying and me, which is not enough for outsiders to understand.

These trivial or complicated things lay in the middle, and before I figured out what to do, she, an outsider, was full of the principles of monarchs and ministers.Even if he has some respect for Pianqiu, he still can't bear her accusation: "What does aunt know! You'd better not talk about the matter between me and the emperor."

"My lord is angry now?" She didn't change her face, and she was not affected by me in the slightest: "The emperor's work and rest have been upside down these days and he suffered from heart palpitations. He should have a good rest and recuperate, but he left the palace all night because of you. You and the emperor The servants of the official business do not have beaks, but when it comes to private matters, the servants still have to remind the lord, who are you? You dare to go to the place of fireworks to find wine and have fun—if Master Yang is just an important minister of the court, hugging left and right in the flower building It's not proper for a woman to get drunk, let alone you—"

She paused, and then said: "What do you think the emperor will think? You say that the slave is foolish, loyal, or rigid, but in my eyes, the emperor is the only master. If she feels uncomfortable or unhappy, I, the slave, will definitely punish her." Find the instigator to settle accounts."

Before I had time to argue with Pianqiu, I heard her mention Liu Yueying's recent situation and said some things I didn't know.So he grasped this and asked: "You said that the emperor can't sleep these few days, is there any solution?"

"Thanks to you still caring about her, I tried to persuade the emperor to upload to the imperial doctor, so I prescribed a sleeping decoction, and I had to drink a bowl every night before going to bed."

"Wouldn't it hurt the body?"

Pianqiu glanced at me indifferently, that look seemed to say: Isn't it because of you?Leaves me speechless.

"You are causing trouble alone, and even the eldest princess is messing around with you." Pianqiu frowned slightly: "Last night at Haishi, the emperor was about to change clothes and go to bed, and the eldest princess broke into the palace at this time and was forbidden to come to the emperor. It's too unruly."... Liu Yuehua asked Liu Yueying came to my house, and there is such a crime.Oh, all mistakes are my fault?

Seeing that I didn't say a word, she continued: "Just now the emperor got up, and I went in to serve. When changing clothes, it was really—" Pianqiu took a deep breath, "It's not that the slave is meddling, but the emperor's body can stand up to you Is it such a torment?" Pianqiu asked me sadly.

Ah... I was carried away at the time, and I was so strong that I left dense marks on her body. My aunt must have seen them all.

"This is all I can say about today's matter, and I hope that my lord will take care of it."

Pianqiu's words are full of great principles, like a basin of cold water pouring from head to toe and waking me up.I'm just her courtiers, and the emperor's proposal was rejected by myself, so what's my position to always be angry with Liu Yueying?

I just don't want to be reconciled, Kong has a sense of loneliness, and wants to be a loyal minister unswervingly until death, but is suspected by the people I care about.I have read so many history books and met so many powerful officials who were shunned by the emperor, but I was still just an outsider.Only when I was trapped in the endless maze did I understand their bitterness and sorrow.No wonder the hero's end and aspirations that are not rewarded have been eulogized for thousands of years and have lasted for a long time.

There were a lot of things going on in the palace, Liu Yueying had to rush back before dinner.She caught up with me and looked refreshed.

"Xiao worry?" Before leaving, she saw that my expression was gloomy, she retreated from the crowd and walked in front of me: "What's wrong with you?"

The waist is entangled, and the aroma of light plum and sandalwood blows to my face, which makes me want to cry.

Originally, I had accepted my fate, accepted my inescapable destiny as a courtier, but Liu Yueying's peach blossom eyes were rippling, reflecting my slumped face.

At this moment, I felt that what Pianqiu said was wrong.

I don't want to hear or understand those great truths, but the person who can support me is right in front of me. She tolerated my willfulness and presumptuousness, and the grievance poured out instantly.

Liu Yueying didn't understand why I was crying, she didn't ask, but just hugged me, sliding her hands up and down against my back.Her movements were soft and gentle, but it made me suddenly feel an unreasonable sense of steadfastness, which silently had more weight than any words.

After I wiped away my tears with a handkerchief, Liu Yueying slowly said: "Xiao Li, it's because I didn't think carefully. In fact, I sent the Wind Banner Army to investigate Nanman as early as ten days ago, and I sent a message back yesterday Said that all the dozen or so people have disappeared.”

"Really? They really aren't that easy to deal with." I looked down at her.

"Well. So, let's discuss the matter of moving the capital." Her voice was a little low.

Nanman couldn't take it lightly, and many things were on the agenda for a while, and the court began to be busy again.

Recently I heard some rumors that the youngest daughter of the servant of the Household Department was demoted to slavery and exiled to Xisai because of her misbehavior because she secretly went to the flower house to drink flower wine.The servant of the household department was also implicated and fined one year's salary.But this matter was not announced in the court, and I don't know whether the news is true or not, so I dare not ask the ancestor.

Because I don't know much about Nanban, people from the Wind Banner Army have been dispatched frequently recently, and I often see Feng San, that bitch-like man in the palace.This guy's name was randomly chosen by Liu Yueying. The leader of the Lei Banner Army was called Lei Yi, the leader of the Rain Banner Army was called Yu Er, and it was his turn to be called Feng San.

"Your Majesty, let's have a rest." Pianqiu entered the meeting hall with a bowl of porridge.

From early in the morning until now, a group of ministers have been arguing over the topographic map of Nanman all morning. The eldest princess said that Nanman's miasma is too much to use large-scale troops. General Nangong said that the number of people is too small to be defeated one by one. Finally got rid of them all.The queen pressed her temples with her fingertips, and picked up the bowl to drink the porridge.

"The servant recently made a discovery, and I don't know whether to tell it or not."

"Tell me." After a mouthful of sweet warm porridge, I felt much more comfortable.

"Master Feng San seems to be very close to the eldest princess these days."

"How do you say?" The queen raised her eyebrows.

"In the past few days, every time they leave, the servant always sees Lord Feng and Princess Eldest talking together, and Her Royal Highness is quite happy."

"so what?"

"Just before the slave came in, I saw Master Feng gave something to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess accepted it with a smile. Master Feng is His Majesty's pro-army, and if he is so close to the eldest princess, will there be any plans... ?”

A sneer. "Can there be any plans? If Yuehua can pay more attention to government affairs, I wish she could be regent. She always acts half-way, and seems to be involved in everything, but she doesn't care about any of them."

"The servant is still worried..."

"Okay, I know about this, don't worry about it anymore." The queen seemed to hear something funny, with a little cunning in her eyes.

"Yes." Pianqiu lowered her head.

"By the way, what did you and Prime Minister You talk about when I lived in Yangfu?" Liu Yueying's tone sounded casual, and a cold light appeared in her eyes.
