Empress and concubine

It was said that Asakawa led Xia Yunjing, but in fact Xia Yunjing was walking in front, and Asakawa Cao Xin followed behind.When a few people went in, Qu Shui was waiting outside, seeing Xia Yunjing, his eyes lit up, "My lord Changle, my wangfei invites my lord to come in."

At this moment, the door of the study room was wide open, probably heard the voice of Qu Shui outside, and Zi Yan also came out from inside, "Prince Changle," said, then leaned sideways and respectfully invited Xia Yunjing to enter the room.

Out of the corner of Zhao Yi's eyes, Zhao Yi saw Xia Yunjing stepping in, and hurriedly got up, but Xia Yunjing hurried over and pressed him, "The prince is here."

Xia Yunjing saw that Zhao Yi was not pretentious and gave in, showing a little satisfaction, and sat next to Zhao Yi before looking down at Uncle Zhao and Sun Wei. At this time, the eldest Sun Wei was standing obediently behind Uncle Zhao, as the background, and Ziyan held He brought a bowl of tea over, put it in front of Xia Yunjing, and then quietly stood aside.

As soon as Xia Yunjing took his seat, Uncle Zhao wanted to salute, but Xia Yunjing stopped him, "Uncle Zhao, you are an old man, so I should respect you."

"Your Majesty's words really offend this old slave," Uncle Zhao said seriously, "You are a nobleman, so you shouldn't mess up your ranking."

Xia Yunjing's eyes showed a bit of satisfaction, but he still said, "You are an old man of the Zhao family and a hero of my Great Xia. What's more," Xia Yunjing glanced at Zhao Yi, "The princess took care of you when she was young. more respectful."

Seeing this back and forth, Zhao Yi was still playing sharply, feeling unhappy, and hurriedly said before Uncle Zhao could reply, "My lord, it's not the first time I've seen Uncle Zhao, he has the most cautious temperament, you don't know You, just let him go, lest when Yao'er comes back, you and Uncle Zhao haven't talked about business yet."

"You always miss her, but even I have stayed behind." Xia Yunjing smiled and shook his head, and said to Zi Yan beside him, "Just now I asked Yao'er to play by myself for a while, and if it doesn't interest me, I will come back. If you meet a few people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yao'er to leave, so you can ask a few people to go and have a look, and if Yao'er has had enough fun, then take her back."

Xia Yunjing said, then looked at Uncle Zhao again, "Tell her to meet Wangfei's natal family as well."

Zi Yan agreed and went out.

Zhao Yi showed a smiling face behind Xia Yunjing's back, she really gave a pillow when she fell asleep, she was trying to get Chu Yao to see Uncle Zhao, but it's not too late to go now, so it won't disturb the business.

"Side concubine, if you are not happy, you might as well tell them to go." Yi Niang went to Chu Yao's side again.

I don't know if it was because I saw Chu Yao, or the concubines' own thoughts, but in a short while, Chu Yaoyi's mother pulled a long distance from them.

After walking a few steps further, Yi Niang persuaded Chu Yao in a low voice, "You have never been impatient to pay attention to these fights, and now the princess is not around..."

Chu Yao didn't take these concubines to heart, and didn't think that she would suffer a loss based on her current status, but she didn't expect Yi Niang to say such words. Chu Yao stopped and immediately recovered. But he didn't rush to answer Yi Niang first, instead he became thoughtful.

"Yi Niang, tell me the truth," Chu Yao looked at Qinglian in the lake with a smile on her face, "Am I so weak and willful?"

After hearing this, Yi Niang hesitated, but seeing that there was already a considerable distance from those concubines, she just said, "I'm telling you straight, don't blame the side concubine."

"Tell the truth, I never blamed you," Chu Yao said, and pulled Yi Niang to the wide place. The wider the place, the more people can see if there is anyone behind the rockery. I don't know how many ears can hear it.

"Back when you, concubine, followed Mrs. Chu to Weidi, although you acted coquettishly and pretended to be an idiot, you were like a mirror in your heart, and you reacted very quickly to things. "" Yi Niang said, and said, "At that time, I was young and frivolous, and you were the one who suppressed me."

After a short pause, Yi Niang changed the topic, "But now, you are very different from that time. I think it's because you have the concubine by your side to take care of you, and you don't have to do anything yourself." Speaking of this, Yi Niang There was a little worry on the mother's face, "Although I can't say that this is bad, but after listening to the stories of my old life, I feel that this is not necessarily a good thing. Recently, I always feel uneasy in my heart. I am afraid that if things go on like this, you will fail. If you lose your nature, you can’t do everything by yourself, so where can you and the princess go? You depend on the princess to take care of everything, and the princess, won’t she be tired?”

Yi Niang finished speaking her heart in one breath, and Chu Yao felt like a thunderclap on a sunny day, which could be regarded as shaking all three souls and seven souls awake.Chu Yao tightly grasped Yi Niang's hand, and her mind, which had not been moved for a long time, was also spinning quickly.

That's right, all the relationship with Zhao Yi is due to the fact that both of them knew all kinds of past lives, what if Zhao Yi forgot about this relationship one day?I'm afraid the first order is to shut up forever.If you don't have the ability, you can only let yourself be slaughtered.

Chu Yao bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, a little bit of annoyance appeared on her face, she always said that she was muddled in her previous life, and she didn't want to be so muddled in this life.How can I forget that this is real life, not a dream.As for Zhao Yi, what he likes is the one who walked out of the palace, because it was too hard back then, so Zhao Yi would feel distressed, and would think about everything to protect him. At that time, he was smart and quick-witted, good at judging the situation and grasping people's hearts.It is the lack of identity, but others can make up for it, which is why Zhao Yi is attracted.

Chu Yao walked to the shore of the lake, stretched out her hand and pinched a lotus, stayed for a while, then smiled.

For a moment, Chu Yao's aura was no longer chaotic, but revealed a little clarity and a little sharpness. Chu Yao nodded to Yi Niang, "Thank you for waking me up," and said, "Who taught you to say this? ?”

"How does the side concubine know that I didn't think of these words by myself?" Yi Niang was a little surprised, but seeing Chu Yao's change made her feel a little more happy.

Chu Yao rolled her eyes and said angrily, "How many catties and how much do you weigh, how can I not know?"

"It's a slave's blessing to have you understand," Yi Niang blushed, "I knew you were beautiful in the past, but now that I think about it thoroughly, even your person has become more... brighter," Yi Niang looked at Chu Yao didn't mean to be angry, so he said, "Maybe you take it away? This has become too much, and it's not very good."

Bright?Chu Yao silently recited a sentence in her heart, after so many years in the deep palace, she seldom heard such praise from people.

Hearing Yi Niang's last words, Chu Yao raised her eyebrows, "Even if I accept it, I will show it to others," Chu Yao moved her hand, and lowered her head to see the green lotus that had just been folded. He came up with an idea, "Send someone to fold some lotus flowers, both green lotus and red lotus, especially the red lotus, you must pick the most beautiful ones, and when you go back at night, bring a set of brightly colored clothes."

Chu Yao watched Yi Niang nod her head and wrote it down, and said suddenly, "Zhao Yi taught you this?"

"Just...you guessed it?" Yi Niang had a bitter look on her face, "I didn't intend to tell you..."

"Hmph," Chu Yao glanced at Yi Niang, "it's only because she has such calculation skills, I'm afraid that today's pile of things, including the guests who came halfway and calling the prince away, is also her handwriting."

"The side concubine is wise, a slave is not as good as it is." Yi Niang's expression improved after hearing Chu Yao's words, she felt a little gloating, but it was just a matter of elegance.

Chu Yao looked at the concubines who had finally approached, lowered her head, and changed her innocent and self-sufficient face again, using only the green lotus to cover half of her face, "Since the madam has put a lot of effort into waking me up, I can't help you." You can't ask Madam to waste your time."

After hearing this, Yi Niang showed a smile on her face, she didn't know if tonight would be better, but unfortunately she couldn't deliver a letter to the concubine.Thinking about it this way, when he saw the concubines approaching, he restrained himself and just acted as a rigid person serving Chu Yao.

I don't know what happened just now, but the Liu family and the Chen family came side by side. Chu Yao looked at the aura of the two of them, and there was a bit of incompatibility.Except for the first two master attendants, the rest of the palace staff all lowered their heads, just acting obediently, even Webster's big and small were the same, which made Chu Yao a little surprised.

Seeing Chu Yao looking over, Liu Yushi quickened a few steps and left Chen Yushi behind.At this time, Chu Yao was still holding the green lotus, and Yu Attendant Liu couldn't help boasting, "At first I only thought this lotus was beautiful, but I didn't expect that this lotus would lose its color when compared with your side concubine."

Chen Yushi frowned at the back, and walked a little faster. Hearing this, he also laughed, "It's because the side concubine is here that the pond full of lotus flowers has become a foil."

Chu Yao covered half of her red lips with the green lotus, "If you praise me again, I'm afraid I won't even know how big the world is."

After Chu Yao finished speaking, she turned around, lowered her eyelids, and put the lotus flower in Yi Niang's hand. She picked another lotus leaf and asked someone to pick it off. Then she looked at the embarrassing Master Attendant Liu And Master Chen, "It's also because I'm not used to talking, so please don't annoy me, Master Attendant."

The two hurriedly said, "Don't dare,"

Chu Yao nodded when she saw it, and retorted, "Forgive you for not daring."

As soon as these words came out, not only the concubine Zhuji was stunned, but Yi Niang was also stunned.Fortunately, Yi Niang is more familiar with Chu Yao, so she is not completely ignorant of Chu Yao's acting skills.On the other hand, the other concubines only heard that the side concubine Chu of Prince Wei's mansion was favored by the concubine and lord, so they were inevitably naive, but they never thought that this side concubine Chu was so naive that people didn't know how to respond. up.

Fortunately, Chu Yao didn't care if they answered or not, she just looked at the big and small Webster, "Just now I heard you two play the piano and sing, it's not bad."

After hearing this, Webster, the elder and younger, hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying only fear.

After hearing this, Chu Yao frowned, and simply ignored her, and then looked at the servant girl beside her, "Is the lotus leaf I want available?" Then she said, "Send it here for me to have a look."

The servant hurriedly agreed to go, and the scene became deserted for a while, a bit awkward, Chu Yao had been in Weidi for a long time in the past two years, and she still didn't feel it, but this concubine concubine was sweating a little.

When Chu Yao saw it, she said, "If you feel hot, just go and sit in the pavilion in front, and you don't have to accompany me."

After Chu Yao said so, Xu Gongren and He Gongren, who were weak in physique, went to confess their crimes, and the others stayed by Chu Yao's side, not moving for half a step. Chu Yao was about to say a few more words, lest there be anything The matter happened to coincide with a group of servants coming over with lotus leaves and lotus flowers on a tray, and Chu Yao was distracted by something, so Chu Yao put it aside and stopped thinking about it.
