"Hasn't the emperor come back yet?" Du Yan turned her head slightly and asked in a low voice.

Midori shook her head in silence.

The light in Du Yan's eyes dimmed, and an almost imperceptible sense of loss flashed in his eyes.

"Queen Mother, why don't you eat first, otherwise the emperor will be distressed when he comes back and learns that you haven't eaten yet." Midori stepped forward and persuaded.

Du Yan smiled slightly and refused: "No, I want to wait for him to come back and eat together." ”

Midori sighed again.

"Queen Mother, usually the emperor will come here at this hour, but it hasn't arrived at this time, maybe something has delayed, Niangniang might as well eat first, so as not to damage the phoenix body......"

Listening to Xiao Lu's words, Du Yan just smiled and shook her head.

Xiao Lu felt a little sorry for Du Yan in front of her.

She watched the queen make an afternoon meal in the palace today, just to wait for the emperor to come back and eat with the mother, but the emperor didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't come to see the mother until now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lu felt a little resentful of Xiao Yechen's behavior.

Xiao Lu opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Du Yan a few words, but saw Du Yan wave his hand and said, "Okay, Xiao Lu, you go and help me carry the children back, they are all asleep." ”

Looking at Zhengxiang's two children sleeping soundly in swaddling clothes, Du Yan showed a warm smile on her face.

Xiao Lu knew that he had no way to move Du Yan, so he had to lean down and salute, and retreated with the child and the nurse.

After they all retreated, only Du Yan was left in Chenyang Palace.

In this way, Du Yan waited for a few more hours, and at this time the palace gate was locked, and the palace gate was also standing at the door dozing.

Du Yan glanced at the already cold food on the table, and the enthusiasm in her heart cooled down inch by inch.

"...... I'll go to the kitchenette and get you some more food. Xiao Lu walked in again, and when she saw Du Yan's somewhat pale face, she felt a little unbearable, "Niangniang, don't wait, it's so late, the emperor won't come." ”

Listening to Xiao Lu's words, Du Yan looked out the window in a daze, where it was already as dark as ink, and there were only a few dotted palace lamps left.

yes, it's so late, and the night dust shouldn't come.

Du Yan stood up, waved at the palace people who were still guarding him, and said, "Okay, take everything down." ”

"Mother, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat." Xiao Lu looked at Du Yan worriedly.

Sensing Xiao Lu's gaze, Du Yan hooked her lips and smiled.

"Alright, you all go and rest, in the middle of the night, don't bother the kitchen people. It's so late, I'm sleepy, so I'll rest early, and I'll have to get up tomorrow to be on duty. ”

Xiao Lu still wanted to persuade, but Bai Lu on the side pulled Xiao Lu's sleeve and gave her a look.

Xiao Lu swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, saluted Du Yan, and the group retreated.

"What did you just pull me for, my mother didn't have dinner." Walking to the door, Xiao Lu watched Bai Lu close the door, and couldn't help asking, "Niangniang doesn't eat, can your body bear it?" Speaking of which, Xiao Lu complained a little about Xiao Yechen again, "The emperor is really."

, I don't come and don't say a word to my mother, so I made my mother wait so long. ”

Bai Lu pulled Xiao Lu's sleeve, glared at her and said, "Why do you say everything?" I'm going to die. ”

Is the master's behavior something they can discuss? It's too long.

Only then did Midori realize that he had said something disrespectful, and he shrunk his neck and stopped talking.

"Niangniang is definitely not in the mood to eat now, let's not disturb her, let her have a good rest."

After hearing this, Xiao Lu felt that it made sense, and the two left together.

After everyone left, Du Yan stood by the bed, stunned for a while.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Yechen would notify her in advance if there was something. There may be something urgent this time, so I didn't have time to inform you. Du Yan thought to herself.

She reached out and touched the jade Ruyi next to the pillow, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but bring a smile.

This jade ruyi was given to her by Xiao Yechen at the beginning, and I hope she can do everything well. Not only that, but in her Chenyang Palace, many things were carefully prepared by Xiao Yechen.

Although he couldn't wait for Xiao Yechen this time and was a little disappointed, he was very fond of himself on weekdays, and after knowing that he was being talked about, he also rewarded him with many things to consolidate his favor.

Thinking of this, Du Yan put down the loss in her eyes, lay down and began to sleep.

What Du Yan didn't expect was that early the next morning, a bad news appeared to her like a thunderbolt from the blue.

Du Yan got up early in the morning and was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and Xiao Lu was grooming her.

"Niangniang, you might as well wear this golden phoenix hairpin today." Xiao Lu compared a gorgeous golden phoenix hairpin to Du Yan's head, "This golden phoenix hairpin was rewarded by the emperor yesterday, and your dress today is just right for this golden phoenix hairpin." ”

Du Yan raised her eyes and looked, she was dressed up in the mirror by Xiao Lu's graceful and luxurious, not like the dress she likes on weekdays.

Du Yan frowned and said, "Why do you dress me up like this?" Doesn't it mean to be more pure? ”

This kind of dress is generally needed when there is any activity in the palace.

Xiao Lu gave Du Yan's hand a moment of grooming, and said: "Recently, there have been many rumors in the palace that the mother has fallen out of favor, and the slave wants to dress up the mother and let everyone see that the phoenix will always be a phoenix." ”

Listening to Xiao Lu's words, Du Yan evacuated a little between her eyebrows.

Midori has always been loyal and protective of her by her side, so it's normal to be able to do this.

Du Yan turned her head, looked into the bronze mirror, and whispered, "Don't take it as an example." ”

"Yes!" Hearing Du Yan's words, Xiao Lu nodded vigorously a few times, and then continued to dress Du Yan.

Jin Fengchai was just about to insert it into Du Yan's sideburns, and Du Yan was also holding a pair of jade earrings in her hand and preparing to put them on herself, when suddenly a little girl full of joy ran in from outside the door and knelt down in front of Du Yan.

"Mother, mother, good news, good news"

Xiao Lu was frightened by the maid who suddenly broke in, her hand shook, the golden phoenix hairpin fell to the ground, and the agate on the hairpin was instantly torn apart.

Seeing that he was in trouble, Xiao Luli stood up

Ke knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

But then the news brought by the little maid made Xiao Lu happy.

"Niangniang, the emperor has issued a holy decree this morning, and the harem is the only favorite, and the concubine selection has been canceled, isn't this a great joy!"

Assertion had a smile on her face, but more of a surprise, she hadn't recovered yet.

"The emperor has arrived—"

The shrill voice of the eunuch came from outside the door, and then Xiao Yechen walked in from outside the door in a dark brocade robe.

A flash of light flashed in Du Yan's eyes, and before Xiao Yechen walked to her side, Du Yan couldn't bear it, so she walked to his side and hugged him tightly.

"Your Majesty, is this worth it?" Didn't he put himself in the place of injustice? Du Yan felt a lot of emotion in her heart, and she didn't expect Xiao Yechen to do this for her.

"One life and one couple, why not?"

The colorful glow on the horizon was reflected on the faces of Xiao Yechen and Du Yan, and they didn't know that the words he said at this time have been widely praised among the people since then!
