Chapter IV
Su Yao got up extra early today. Before the sky was clear, she woke up, but what she didn't expect was that Ling Yi was no longer by the bedside. I lost it, this thing won't get up in the middle of the night to pee and accidentally fall into the ditch, right? She slowly sat up from the bed, and Xiaohuan was actually awake.
"Mother, why did you get up so early?" Xiaohuan greeted him and asked in a low voice.
"I want to ask you that, too." Su Yao rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"Not long after Your Majesty left, the slave maid went to see him off." Xiaohuan responded.
"He's gone so early every day?" Su Yao was surprised. What the hell is this going for...... You don't have to rob money so early, right?
"Niangniang, you don't know, the country has not been peaceful recently, and the emperor's requests for approval have been piled up, in order to deal with political affairs, I heard that the emperor is even dining in the Qinzheng Palace." Xiaohuan couldn't help but yawn and replied.
"What is it that can make the emperor busy like this......" Su Yao also yawned.
"Niangniang, Your Majesty is still very concerned about you, even if you are busy like this every day, he will still come over on time to accompany you." Xiaohuan said.
Su Yao didn't speak, but couldn't help biting her lip.
After a long time, Su Yao suddenly looked at Xiaohuan, and the expression on her face startled Xiaohuan.
"Niangniang, you ......" Xiaohuan didn't dare to look at each other, and subconsciously lowered his head.
"In the palace these days, do you still remember the location of the halls of the harem?" Su Yao asked with squinted eyes.
"Big ...... The general direction is known. Xiaohuan replied softly with some fear, "Because there are no other maids in Fengqi Palace except for slaves and maids, I have to run errands for basic clothing......
"Thank you for your hard work...... Looking at Xiaohuan's appearance, Su Yao felt distressed for a while, since living in the palace, Xiaohuan, who has always been cheerful, has become less talkative, and he doesn't like to smile anymore. Su Yao gently held her hand, and the rough calluses on it made her feel distressed.
"This is what a slave should do, I dare not say that I am tired." Xiaohuan hurriedly waved his hand.
"Wash up for me, and we'll go to the Temple of Prayer Clouds right away." Looking at Xiaohuan's appearance, Su Yao said softly.
"Prayer Cloud Palace?" Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"If you don't want to see her, take me over there and come back by yourself, just go there and I'll be able to write down the way." Su Yao pursed her lips.
"No, no." Xiaohuan shook his head and said, "Niangniang has no support in the palace now, if there is no shelter, I'm afraid I won't be able to live for long." ”
Su Yao nodded approvingly. Ling Yi's words still lingered in his ears: Although the Third Emperor Sister is strong, she has no ill will towards you.
"We have been able to live here for so long, I am afraid that they have to deal with the unpeaceful affairs in the country, and when this matter passes, the spearhead will be pointed at us." Although Su Yao was thinking about her meat buns, she was not a fool and knew that Ling Yi had deliberately lured her away when she said that.
"Just go now, wouldn't it be too early?" Xiaohuan looked outside the house, and the sky was still not yet bright.
"It's not early," Su Yao smiled, "It's definitely not early." ”
After simply drinking a little white porridge, the two of them walked out of the empty Fengqi Palace. The Qiyun Hall is not too far away, and when Su Yao arrived, there were already a few little palace maids cleaning in front of the hall.
The little palace maid who saw the two of them only said lightly that Her Royal Highness the Third Princess had not woken up yet, so she didn't care about them anymore.
Su Yao wasn't in a hurry, just said just wait a minute, and just stood there quietly and stopped talking.
This stop lasted from morning to noon. The palace maids who walked through one after another, and all the people who saw them cast strange glances, but Su Yao didn't see them, just stood there straight.
Because no one recognized Su Yao as the queen, the Shangfu Bureau did not allocate any new clothes to Fengqi Palace, and Su Yao left Fengqi Palace for the first time, wearing only plain clothes brought from home. The people who were talking about it did not lower their voices, but they were palace maids who made mistakes and were punished by Her Royal Highness the Third Princess.
Several times, Xiaohuan really couldn't help but want to shut up the ridiculer, but Su Yao stopped it. Su Yao closed his eyes slightly, and his father taught him since he was a child that the children of the Su family should be able to take it and let it go. Now that Daddy and Auntie are not around, Ling Yi can't get away because of political affairs, and everything depends on herself.
She couldn't let go of this opportunity.
It was late autumn, and although there was the sun at noon, it was still very cold outside the Prayer Cloud Palace.
In the Qiyun Palace, Sun Yaruo gently put the hot tea in front of Ling Tian and said softly, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, they haven't left yet." ”
Ling Tian took a sip of hot tea, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, looking particularly moving: "Yaruo, guess again, how long can they last." ”
"This ......" Sun Yaruo was a little uneasy. In fact, when the two masters and servants outside the palace first came, she and the princess knew about it. There are many things in the palace, and she, as the fifth grade Shangyi, manages the entire Shangyi Bureau, so she must get up early, but what she didn't expect was that the third princess actually got up earlier than her. And the first thing the third princess said to her was to make a bet on whether someone would come to visit today, but Su Yao came and she lost. Later, they bet on how long Su Yao could hold out outside the hall, and she even guessed twice and lost. Who would have thought that Su Yao, who looked stupid, could have such perseverance and stand outside the hall for a few hours...... For this reason, her buttocks were numb and crispy by Ling Tian, painful and itchy.
It's so unfair...... Sun Yaruo complained bitterly in her heart, she had never won against Her Royal Highness the Princess since she was a child, so every time Her Royal Highness the Princess said to bet, her ass had to bloom. It's so unfair! Even if I win, I don't dare to fight Her Royal Highness...... Is this the legendary companion like a tiger?
I'm so miserable...... My ass hurts......
"If I don't let them in, they'll keep waiting." Seeing that Sun Yaruo didn't speak, Ling Tian gently put down the teacup and said with a faint smile, "Do you believe it, Yaruo?" ”
Sun Yaruo just nodded, and the good-looking phoenix eyes looked out the window.
"Go and call them in, I don't dare to let the queen stand anymore, if something happens to her, my stupid brother will turn his face." Ling Tian also looked out the window.
In response, Sun Yaruo walked out slowly, although her buttocks hurt, she still walked very dignified, there were palace maids outside, she was dignified and beautiful, if she was ugly, it would be too faceless.
Her Royal Highness the Third Princess's hand is getting stronger and stronger......
"I've seen Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." After standing for so long, my legs are numb...... Su Yao was a little worried when she saluted, how embarrassing it would be if she knelt down directly as soon as her legs were weak.
"Excuse me." With a light wave of his hand, Ling Tian's voice suddenly became cold, and his eyes like arrows turned to the trembling Xiaohuan on the side, "It's this little girl, I saw that she was not familiar with the etiquette in the palace at that time, so I taught her a little lesson, it turns out that she is your maidservant, what?" Asking about sin? ”
Hearing Ling Tian say this, Xiaohuan's whole body trembled, and he knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to speak.
"To be honest, I was very angry at first," Su Yao straightened up, her face showing no fear, "but then I thought about it, you were also protecting Xiaohuan by doing this." ”
"Go on." Ling Tian seemed to be interested, and took a sip of hot tea.
"I am the daughter of the Su family at the head of the four major clans, although the current Su family is weak, but the foundation is still there, if I become the queen, in the future, the words of the Su family will be a little heavier, and it is even expected to return to the period when the four major clans jointly managed the government. This is what many people don't want to see, so they will try their best to prevent me from becoming this queen, if they really want to deal with me, Xiaohuan may not be able to stand here anymore, you punish Xiaohuan, and those who are watching will not dare to do it again. Su Yao continued, to be honest, she admitted that there was an element of gambling, Ling Tiangui was the third princess, and she would punish Xiaohuan, who was not even a palace maid, if she wanted to, she didn't need any reason at all. Su Yao just wanted to use this to draw out what she really wanted to say, "You are Ling Yi's imperial sister, you are on Ling Yi's side, if I become the queen, Ling Yi is equivalent to getting the help of the entire Su family, which is only beneficial to his throne and will not do any harm, don't forget, although my eldest brother Su Yi is far away in the frontier, he has military power in his hands." That's why you're helping me. ”
After saying this, Su Yao immediately regretted it. It's over, it's over...... Unknowingly, he called Ling Yi's full name instead of the emperor, and it was in front of his strong third emperor sister.
Thinking of this, Su Yao couldn't help but swallow her saliva heavily, and sure enough, she was still too nervous.
Ling Tian nodded, glanced at Xiaohuan, and followed Su Yao's words: "It's like being the queen of the Great Prayer, but don't think I don't know." ”
As soon as Ling Tian's words fell, Su Yao couldn't help but swallow her saliva again. This sister is so good-looking, just like a fairy descending to earth, she shouldn't torture herself with white porridge like Ling Yi...... Su Yao secretly swore in her heart that if she made this mistake again in the future, she would never be able to eat again...... I can't eat anymore...... I can't eat meat bun skin anymore!
"Although your Su family has a lot of money, but your father Su Guogong's name is just a decoration, the current Su family has no power at all, your eldest brother is locked at the border, it is not difficult for them to bring down your Su family." Ling Tian smiled, as if he had seen through Su Yao's heart, "Only if you become the queen can save your Su family from a dangerous situation." ”
"Yes, yes, yes...... The third princess is really smart. Su Yao nodded and sighed lightly, "This is also the reason why I asked Ling Yi to take me into the palace." "Only when I become the queen can I share my worries for my father and aunt and the entire Su family.
"It's really a coincidence," Ling Tian laughed, "I want to secure the throne for the imperial brother, and you want to get your Su family out of a dangerous situation." First of all, we all have to accomplish the same goal: to make you the master of the harem and the queen of Daqi. ”
"That's why I dared to ask for the help of Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Su Yao bowed slightly, "Xiaohuan and I first came to the palace, helpless, except for the emperor, the only person I can trust is you." ”
Ling Tian didn't speak, just motioned to Sun Yaruo on the side to add tea for herself.
"From the moment you let me and Xiaohuan enter the temple and told us to excuse us, I knew that you had agreed." Su Yao slowly lifted Xiaohuan, who was no longer trembling, from the ground and said calmly.
Ling Tian nodded, revealing a smile that fell into the city: "I can see that Ling Yi likes you very much, even if I have the heart to refuse, my stupid imperial brother will definitely beg me to help you, rather than being annoyed and dizzy by him at that time, it is better to agree earlier." ”
"In this way, thank you to Her Royal Highness the Third Princess." Su Yao bowed slightly, as happy as if she had eaten dozens of meat buns.
"This palace will not break its promise if it says to help you, but I want you to promise that as a queen, you must think about the emperor wholeheartedly, and you can't have two hearts, if not, this palace will not let you go." Ling Tian's voice was cold, and his good-looking eyes shot with a fine light.
"I, Su Yao, swear to the sky that I will have no second thoughts about the emperor in the future." Hearing Ling Tian say this, Su Yao was also very happy, and directly swore, "Third princess, please rest assured, Ling Yi's throne is stable, and it is only beneficial to my Su family. ”
It's over, and it's wrong...... This mouth! Look how I punish you, I will never eat the skin of the buns again when I eat meat buns in the future, just eat the meat of the buns and kill you!
Seeing Su Yao's appearance, Ling Tian smiled slightly.
"In a few dozen days it will be the New Year of the Great Prayer, the emperor has already said to the palace, after the first day of the New Year is announced, what you have to do in these dozens of days is to learn the etiquette in the palace, find out all the rules in the palace, and the rules of the harem are best to memorize them backwards, so that they can't find fault with you."
"Yes, Su Yao understood." Su Yao nodded slightly, with a warmth in her heart.
"Yaruo is the five products of Shangyi who is in charge of etiquette, and she will teach you personally in the future."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Third Princess. Thank you, Lord Shangyi. Su Yao nodded lightly and bowed to Ling Tian.
"Princess, do you really believe that Su Yao?" After Su Yao left, Sun Yaruo asked in a low voice in Ling Tian's ear.
"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Ling Tian asked with a smile.
"Weichen always feels ......," Sun Yaruo stopped when he wanted to speak.
"It always feels like she's stupid, stupid, not like someone who does big things?" Ling Tian smiled and said Sun Yaruo's worries, "To be honest, I don't trust her very much, but the imperial brother believes in her very much, and I believe in the imperial brother, so I will help her." ”
Sun Yaruo nodded lightly, as the princess's confidant, she would naturally support the princess.
"In addition, they have been standing outside the hall for so long, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people chewing on the root of their tongues." Ling Tian said lightly, his gaze turned to the window.
Sun Yaruo understood and nodded.
"It's not too early, it's time for Weichen to go to Shangyi Bureau." In fact, Sun Yaruo should have gone to Shangyi Bureau a long time ago, but Ling Tian kept pulling her and didn't let her go, saying that he was taking her to watch a good show. Sun Yaruo didn't really want to see it, but who made Ling Tian a princess? You can't help but listen...... And bet that the ass is still crispy......
"That's right, I have gold sore medicine here," Sun Yaruo was stopped by Ling Tian again before she could step out of the door, "This medicine has an excellent effect, and ordinary trauma will be cured in half a day." ”
"No, no...... Weichen doesn't hurt anymore, don't bother the princess......" Seeing the somewhat obscene gaze shot out of Ling Tian's good-looking eyes, Sun Yaruo seemed to realize something, and subconsciously took a step back, with a thin layer of sweat attached to her back.
"You're welcome, we grew up together, haven't we seen anything......" Ling Tian licked the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and slowly approached, "Come, let this princess personally help you with the medicine......"
If the roles are reversed, I will definitely open your ass, Ling Tian!
