Chapter 38: Letter from Home

Kunning Palace

"Mother, the Prime Minister has sent someone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xing'er slowly entered the house, saw Queen Liu lying on the soft collapse and pretended to sleep, paused, and then said softly.

"Father sent someone?" Empress Liu opened her eyes, a little puzzled.

After thinking about it in my mind, I already had an idea in my heart.

"You take him to the main hall for a short rest and wait, and then go over after the palace is dressed. Empress Liu waved her hand and commanded.

"Yes, sis. Xing'er walked out in response, and the palace maid beside her immediately stepped forward to dress up Queen Liu.

"General Ye, Niangniang was resting just now, and the slave maid has already gone to inform Niangniang. You sit in the main hall for a while, and the lady will come out soon. Apricot said to the visitor.

After Xing'er finished speaking, several palace maids brought up the refreshments.

"Yes, thank you, Miss Apricot. The man responded with a fist clenched.

He is a close confidant under Prime Minister Yuan Cheng, named Ye Hua, who is quite trusted by Yuan Cheng, and is now a general.

In the morning, he entered the palace to tell Emperor Yan some things, and by the way, he brought a letter to the prime minister.

Foreign ministers are not allowed to enter the harem at will, but because it was the order of Prime Minister Yuan, and he had already informed Emperor Yan and Emperor Yan agreed, he dared to come.

Although he didn't understand why Prime Minister Yuan sent him over to deliver the letter in person, Prime Minister Yuan was his mentor, and he also understood that Prime Minister Yuan must have a purpose this time, so he didn't ask too much and came over.

And Prime Minister Yuan's intention is just to show the importance of the queen.

In the process of waiting, Ye Hua stared at the ground except for the occasional cup of tea, and did not look at the main hall much, and sat in a proper manner.

Xing'er kept staring at his every move, Ye Hua was aware of it, but pretended not to know and continued to do his own thing.

Xing'er blushed unconsciously as she looked at Ye Hua.

Ye Hua is tall and handsome, because he has trained hard in the army, so he looks very masculine in the past, and his heroic spirit has a bit of a murderous atmosphere.

He was the first man Xing'er had seen in the palace other than Emperor Yan, and he was so handsome.

There were only two of them in the hall at this time, quietly, no one spoke anymore, staring at him, Xing'er couldn't help but be a little shy.

And the change in the expression on Xing'er's face, Ye Hua didn't know.

The only thing he knew was that Apricot was watching him.

Time passed minute by minute, and the hall was silent, and Ye Hua and Xing'er had no intention of talking to each other.

". After a long time, Queen Liu walked out with the support of the palace people, and when she saw her, Xing'er screamed, and then stepped forward to hold Queen Liu's hand.

The crimson color on Apricot's face also disappeared.

Queen Liu walked to her seat, sat down, and looked at Ye Hua below, the doubts in her heart flashed.

She knew Ye Hua and met him a few times.

The first time I saw her was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, when she had not yet entered the palace.

She lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion for half a year, and was only accepted into the palace by the emperor after she truly recognized Prime Minister Yuan as her father.

Later, it was at the palace banquet, and I met a few times by chance when I went to find Emperor Yan.

She knew that Ye Hua was her father's cronies, and if she wanted to say that her father trusted him the most, he was the one who was the most trusted.

But I don't know why my father sent him.

Isn't it for Ahn's business?

If it was for An's business, it shouldn't be so exciting.

Could it be that something is wrong?

"Weichen meets the queen, and the queen is auspicious. Ye Hua saluted respectfully.

"General Ye doesn't have to be polite. Empress Liu smiled lightly and said, "General Ye sit down and talk." ”

For his salute, Queen Liu was a little surprised.

After all, he is a man in the army who sweats and sweats, and he leads soldiers all the year round, and has the unique fortitude of a man.

It stands to reason that the salute should be a little rough, but I didn't expect the rules to be good, which is really different.

But strange is strange, and Queen Liu didn't think much about it.

"Thank you, Queen. After speaking, Ye Hua didn't sit down, but took out a letter, put it in his hand, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "This is a letter sent by the prime minister to the queen's mother, and the queen is invited to look at it." ”

Xing'er walked down and took the letter and took it to Queen Liu.

Queen Liu opened it to see, and after reading it, her face changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

She smiled and said to Ye Hua: "I'm tired that General Ye will run away in person, and I also ask the general to tell my father on my behalf, what my father said, the palace will do its best, and I will definitely not embarrass my father." ”

After listening, Ye Hua replied: "Wechen will bring Niangniang's message, since the letter has been brought, it is inconvenient for Wechen to stay for a long time, Wechen will retire first." ”

The things ordered by the prime minister had been completed, and Ye Hua knew that he could not stay any longer.

A courtier in the outer chamber who stays in the harem for too long will inevitably cause gossip, and it will also have an impact on Queen Liu's reputation.

"Hmm. Empress Liu nodded and ordered, "Xing'er, you send General Ye." ”

Empress Liu looked at Ye Hua and thought to herself, he was a good person, and it was no wonder that his father had personally cultivated him for so many years.

As he spoke, his eyes kept on the ground and didn't look at him much.

is well-behaved, and her impression is not bad.

"Thank you, mother. Ye Hua didn't make much excuses, and walked out with Xing'er.

"The general walks slowly. When she walked outside the gate of Kunning Palace, Xing'er blessed herself and said to Ye Hua.

"Thank you Miss Xing'er for sending me off, and Weichen said goodbye. Ye Hua clenched his fists again and walked out with great strides.

After a short time, Ye Hua's figure disappeared.

Xing'er watched him walk away, stunned, and turned back to the main hall.

"Niangniang, why is your face so ugly?But what did the Prime Minister say in the letter?" When she returned to the main hall, she saw that there was something wrong with Queen Liu's face, and Xing'er asked with concern.

Empress Liu clutched the letter tightly in her hand and crumpled it into a ball.

When Ye Hua was still there just now, she had been holding back and not having a seizure.

This An Shi actually secretly wrote a letter to his father. Empress Liu said unhappily, with a chill.

"This ......" Xing'er was stunned, and finally knew the reason why her mother was angry.

The letter sent home by the harem concubines, although they don't need to be seen by the mother, they still have to report it to the mother.

An's has been demoted to a concubine, and he dares to secretly send a letter out of the palace, and he doesn't take Niangniang in his eyes at all. And the mother didn't know anything about this, no wonder the mother was angry.

"My father asked me to help her in the letter. Queen Liu snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "I really didn't expect that she had some means to send a letter out of the palace without hiding from the sky and the sea, and the palace used to look down on her." ”

It would be fine if her father sent someone else to deliver this letter to her, but it was his confidant, General Ye.

This shows his father's attitude, indicating that his father still attaches importance to An's in his heart and intends to let her help. Even if she didn't want to help An's in the first place, she had to intervene now.

"Niangniang, then you ......" Xing'er looked tangled.

She didn't expect that the Prime Minister would write a letter in person and ask Niangniang to save An's family.

Niangniang didn't want to get involved, but now that the prime minister has spoken, Niangniang can't stay out of the matter.

"I went to see the emperor in the palace at night, as for the An family, you pay more attention to the palace and let her settle down. Queen Liu said with a dark face.

"Yes. Even if Niangniang doesn't command, Xing'er will keep an eye on An's every move next, and this matter was her negligence before.
