Chapter 25: Snatching
"Teng Yeshe, really lived up to my expectations, one night was enough to make my father infatuated with her, and even made an exception to directly canonize her as a noble person from the third grade, it seems that the battle in the harem will become more and more exciting." Gong Hanli, the promoter of this fight, was leisurely picking up a grape that had just been offered and biting it into her mouth, the sweet juice went down her throat, and she showed a satisfied expression, "It's delicious~."
"By the way, my father should reward her with the palace, right?" Han Li ate another grape and asked casually.
"Yes, according to the grade, it will be given directly to the Pavilion Garden, and the name will be Lingshuang Pavilion." Tingxue replied beside him, Tingxue has always been able to grasp the flow of various news in the palace, and he will also tell Hanli as soon as possible.
"Has there been any movement in Xuanwu recently?" Han Li asked, for some reason she was a little concerned about this purple-eyed stunning young man.
"Nope." Listening to Xue truthfully admonished, "But. She hesitated, but then said, "It's not so much that he doesn't move, but that he's so quiet, and he basically stays in his room except for the necessary routine." I don't know what I'm doing. Because the Guan Ju Palace is very large and there are many vacant rooms, the four of them live alone, so it is inconvenient to inquire about the other three.
"Oh." Han Li didn't seem to have much interest, and paid more attention to this fine tribute grape, and before he knew it, he had already eaten a large bunch. "Go to my father's side and ask him to pass on to me the share that was given to Cao Zhaoyi."
"Princess, Cao Zhaoyi, she is deeply loved by the emperor, why do you bother." Listening to Xue, she knew that Han Li didn't like that woman very much, but she didn't want her to make too many enemies because of this, which would make people think that she was too arrogant, and all the power of the princess now was because of the emperor's favor, once she lost this favor, she was not afraid that others would not send charcoal in the snow, but she was afraid that more people would fall into the ground.
"I understand your concerns, but I'm doing this to reassure the woman, who will only think I'm a pampered and proud little girl. If I just keep it back, I'll make her more vigilant. Han Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were cold.
Hearing Xue was stunned, her heart was complicated, since the princess who was happy could say this, it showed that she trusted herself. The worry is that the princess is so scheming at a young age, I am afraid that I don't know what will happen in the future. Sighing secretly, she bowed down and retreated.
______________ Xiyi Court______________
"Master, master!" The two little maids, Fengyan and Jiang Liu, hurriedly ran into the cabinet, speaking angrily.
"She's gone too far!" "It's too much of a deception!" Little girl, you glanced at me, but you just didn't explain things clearly.
"Smack." Cao Yan put down the teacup quietly, and the two girls were immediately silenced and stood on the side tremblingly. "What's the matter, what such a fuss about! Let everyone else laugh at us!? These two girls are Cao Yanjing's personal maids.
"Master! We, Xiyi Pavilion, have been killed by jokes! Jiang Liu couldn't help it and blurted out. As soon as the white light flashed, Jiang Liu was already fanned to the side. Half of his face quickly became red and swollen. Cao Yanjing looked at her coldly and said, "You say it again." ”
"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare!" Jiang Liu kowtowed vigorously on the ground, so frightened that he didn't even have time to pay attention to the hot sting on his face.
"Fengyan, what the hell is going on?" Cao Yanjing ignored Jiang Liu, who had already knocked his forehead a little bleeding, and asked lightly to Fengyan, who was already trembling with fright.
"Lord, master. Tell the master, Gonggong Xu, who was in the room just now, said that the emperor decreed that the tribute from the Western Regions that had been given to the master should be withdrawn, and the slave gave Gonggong Xu a reward, and Gonggong Xu said, this, this is the meaning of the four princesses. Fengyan replied tremblingly, but when it came to the back, he couldn't help but be a little angry, but he was even more afraid that the master would be angry again.
"Hmph, Gong Hanli." Cao Yanjing snorted contemptuously, "Get up." He said to Jiang Liu, who was still kowtowing to the side.
"Thank you, thank you, master!" Jiang Liu stood up with the help of Feng Yan, his forehead was already full of blood.
"What's angry, she Gong Hanli is at best a favored princess, and she is still an arrogant and ignorant little girl. Sooner or later, she will have to get married. Or, sooner or later, I will be defeated by my men! Cao Yanjing said fiercely. Although she knew that she was not capable of fighting herself, she was still uncomfortable with such an insult.
"Fengyan, did I ask you to inquire about the matter?" As soon as the conversation changed, she asked Fengyan.
"Back to the master, there are many eyeliners in Chuxiu Palace, and the slave and maid only heard it, the little master Shen Shuang returned the sunflowers of the fourth princess, and the little master Chen Mengxue did not return the flowers."
"Shen Shuang? It's the daughter of the rather flamboyant-looking General Huaihua! Sunflower? Hum! So eager to show loyalty to the new owner? Go and find out Chen Mengxue's background immediately, and you must find out if Teng Ye has returned flowers to Gong Hanli, and what flowers have been returned! ”
"Yes, master!"
"Teng Ye? became a noble man in one night, did you get your merit, or did you find a good master as a backer? ! Cao Yanjing's eyes emitted a different kind of cold light.
