Chapter Seventy-Seven: Cui Yuyan's Anxiety and Hesitation
Cao Xiong naturally didn't know what natural wind was, and he didn't know what the relationship between sparrows and Cui Guiren was.
But when His Majesty asked, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly leaned over and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Cui Guiren has been staying in her courtyard since returning to Chuxiu Palace, and there is no movement." ”
Then he smiled flatteringly: "There are a few little monkey cubs who seem to have been inserted by the Cui family, and they have always wanted to get close to Cui Guiren, but Your Majesty can rest assured, the old slaves are staring at it." ”
said with a very sinister smile.
Zhao Xin opened his eyes slightly and glanced at him, then closed them again, ignoring him...... Get used to it.
......
Chuxiu Palace, just listen to the name, this is the place where the newly selected show girls are temporarily settled.
Of course, the environment of such a place is not too good, and even some show girls are crowded in a courtyard, which is similar to the staff dormitory in later generations.
Fortunately, after Cui Yuyan came back from Xingqing Palace, someone arranged a separate courtyard for her, and a little girl who was sent into the palace with her was also sent over and waited by her side.
This kind of treatment is naturally envious of the other show girls in the Chuxiu Palace, but what can be done, who can let the Cui family have the backstage of the Cui family, and can get the emperor's blessing so quickly.
Cui Yuyan, who moved into a separate courtyard under the gaze of envy, jealousy and hatred, didn't bother to pay attention to the owner of these gazes at all.
When she came back from Xingqing Palace, she had an inexplicable disturbance in her heart, some eunuchs and palace maids arranged by the Cui family or bought her several times, but she also pretended not to see it.
She naturally understood what those people were trying to do.
is nothing more than wanting to know whether she has won the emperor's favor and whether she has the emperor in her hands......
She just wanted to sneer at this, feeling like a bunch of fools.
'Do these people really think that the emperor is such a brainless, lustful, incompetent and unconscious king?'
She was sure that at this time there were many pairs of eyes around her, and the actions of those people who thought they were hidden seemed to the eyes of the Emperor to be as comical as a thief in a night suit in broad daylight.
However, she didn't intend to remind those people, first, it was useless, and second, her heart was completely disturbed by the words of the emperor.
"The Lin family, which was destroyed sixteen years ago, turned out to be my father's clan, and the Shangguan family was my mother's clan, is this possible?"
"But what's the point of the emperor lying to me? Is he trying to stabilize me and not want the Cui family to know that he is hostile to the Cui family?"
Cui Yuyan finally thought of a reason to convince herself.
Yes, it must be so.
If I am really the orphan of the Lin family, and the Lin family was destroyed because of the Cui family, then why did my father-in-law adopt me?
Thinking of this, Cui Yuyan couldn't help but exhale lightly, made a look of having convinced herself, nodded vigorously, and said in a low voice: "Well, it must be so!"
"Ah, what, what's like this?"
Fluttershy sat next to her, already kowtowed, her mouth open, her head little by little, when she heard her speak and was startled.
Hurriedly stood up and asked while wiping his saliva.
Cui Yuyan ignored her, but said in a condensed voice, "Fluttershy, I can see that the emperor is really hostile to his father-in-law and the Cui family. ”
"Ah, what, then, what then?"
Fluttershy is startled when she hears her words, and subconsciously looks left and right, as if to see if the emperor is coming, but it is pitch black and she doesn't see anything.
However, Fluttershy felt as if there was something dangerous in the darkness, and she shuddered and shrank behind Cui Yuyan, looking left and right like some kind of timid little animal.
Cui Yuyan frowned, and gently tapped his palm with his fist and said, "No, we must inform our father-in-law of the emperor's attitude towards our family, so that he can prepare early!"
"How, how... Tell?"
Fluttershy asks absentmindedly.
"yes......"
Cui Yuyan subconsciously frowned again, this is indeed a problem.
The reason why the emperor did not hide his hostility towards the Cui family in front of her was because he was not afraid of her spreading it at all.
"Girl, let's run. ”
Fluttershy says suddenly.
Although she has already entered the palace, Fluttershy was originally Cui Yuyan's maid when she was in the Cui family, and they grew up together, so she did not change her name to "noble" like others, but still habitually called her "girl".
"Nonsense, where can you run?"
Of course, Cui Yuyan didn't care about her title, and angrily tapped her finger on her forehead, pointed to the surrounding palace walls and said, "Look at this heavy forbidden palace, can you run out?"
"So, what to do?"
Fluttershy subconsciously glances at her fingers, and it feels like it's really hanging.
This deep palace is too big for her, bigger than the Prime Minister's Mansion, with her ability to get lost in the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if she lets her run, she can't escape.
However, thinking of some rumors she had heard in the palace in the past two days, she couldn't help but be afraid and said: "Girl, you said that if the emperor really hates our Xiangye, will he kill us?"
I heard from the people in the palace that the emperor likes to kill people.
What a little eunuch, a little palace maid, a little lady, as long as you are not happy, click ~!"
Fluttershy grins and makes a neck-scratching gesture, but startles herself.
hurriedly hid behind Cui Yuyan again.
Cui Yuyan couldn't help but be angry and funny when she saw her timid appearance.
Crying and laughing, he comforted: "Don't worry, the emperor won't kill us, at least not for the time being." Perhaps, he will summon me again in the next two days, and then pretend to give me a concubine. ”
As he spoke, a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Really?"
Fluttershy doesn't understand what her girl is talking about, but she's relieved to hear that she won't be killed, even temporarily.
He exhaled softly, then patted his chest and said, "That's good, that's good." ”
Cui Yuyan shook her head and poked her forehead again, "I'm so daring, I really don't understand why my father-in-law arranged for you to enter the palace with me." ”
Fluttershy twisted her fat waist and sat down next to Cui Yuyan again, saying, "Then what else is it because others don't want to."
They all said that Xiangye would definitely become the emperor in the future, and we would all have to bury the current emperor at that time. ”
"Nonsense!"
Cui Yuyan's face changed when she heard this, and she scolded her in a low voice, then subconsciously looked around, glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense in the future!"
Fluttershy didn't notice Cui Yuyan's expression, and subconsciously defended, "It's not the maid who said it, the subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion all said so, and it was said that someone saw the Prime Minister secretly trying on the crown ...... in the middle of the night."
"Say!"
Cui Yuyan reached out and patted her, and Fluttershy saw Cui Yuyan's stern face and stuck out her tongue to say more.
Cui Yuyan himself couldn't help frowning solemnly, and only after a moment did he ask in a low voice, "Do all the subordinates of the Prime Minister's Mansion say so?"
