Chapter 244: Intention to Marriage
Yunyan worked in the imperial dining room for an hour, and finally put three dishes on a plate and followed the palace maid to the emperor's imperial study when Shen Shi.
Yunyan's time was just right, and when the emperor was feeling a little hungry, her dishes appeared in time. The prince looked at the emperor's rare smile, and secretly admired Yunyan in his heart.
"Yunyan greets Your Majesty!"
Yunyan saluted the emperor, and then motioned to the palace maids to serve the dishes one by one.
The first course is Linglong soup, which is a sweet soup made by Yunyan using a combination of some seasonal fruits and vegetables. Although this sweet soup is sweet, it is a kind of sweetness that makes people feel cool, and it does not make people feel greasy.
Yunyan looked at the emperor for a while, and then took half a spoonful of the soup in the small cup and put it into his mouth.
Watching others taste their own dishes is always a little nervous, watching the emperor sitting on it expressionlessly drank the first spoonful of soup and did not make an evaluation, but then tasted the second dish - autumn dew.
It was this dish that used the longan she had just begged from the director, and she used the elixir to make white silk on the emerald green asparagus, and the crystal white longan became autumn dew hanging on the branches.
The emperor was already in front of him when he saw this dish, and he got up from his seat excitedly and couldn't wait to taste the taste of this dish.
The emperor tasted three dishes in a row without saying a word. Finally, when Yunyan took out the golden cake, she heard the emperor speak: "Why is it so fragrant?" ”
"Back to the emperor, this pastry was developed by me not long ago, and it is called Golden Cake."
"Good, good! Then I'll come and taste what your golden cake tastes like. ”
Sun Lan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks when the palace maid put the golden cake in front of him.
Yun Yan watched him eat two pieces of golden cake in a row, and knew that there was no problem with his dishes this time.
After the emperor drank the last sip of tea, he sighed: "Now only I can eat the dishes you make, Yunyan, don't forget that you are still the county lord of Haoyue Country!" ”
Sun Lan had something to say, and Yun Yan knew what he was thinking about, so he nodded firmly: "Please rest assured Your Majesty, Yun Yan remembers." ”
"Well~ just remember, this time since you have returned to Haoyue Country, stay here, now that the Qiang Kingdom and my country are in dire straits, I hope you can see the current situation clearly."
Sun Lan was warning her to keep her distance from the Qiang Kingdom, which was something she had thought of early on, although it was impossible, but how could a person not bow his head under the eaves.
Yunyan knew that the most important thing now was to protect himself and not let Sun Lan be suspicious of him. She nodded obediently to indicate that she agreed to the matter, and Sun Lan saw that Yunyan did not want to disobey her, and her suspicions about her were gradually dispelled.
Originally, after today, he asked Yunyan to enter the palace, not only because he doubted her skills, but because he learned from his courtiers that Mu Mo was preparing to take Yunyan back to Qiang. Therefore, Sun Lan planned to follow today's opportunity to test what Yunyan's attitude was. Now seeing that she is not harmful to him, he is relieved, but thinking that even if Yunyan has no ideas, it does not necessarily mean that Feng Jinsong and Daoxu Sect on the other side have no plans.
Sun Lan thought that the most appropriate way was to leave Yunyan in Haoyue Country, as long as the only main vein left by the Yun family was contained, no matter how capable those people were, they would not be able to make any trouble.
"Yunyan, it's been a while since you've been back. Before, I was negligent and made you stay in the inn, but now I have asked them to prepare the county lord's mansion for you, and you can move there directly when you go back. ”
Sun Lan gave Yunyan County Lord's Mansion just to monitor her every move, Yunyan understood his thoughts, but after all, it was the emperor's order to resist, and she could only thank the emperor for the reward.
"You have reached the age of marriage now, do you have a favorite Langjun in your heart? If you have it, tell me, and I will give you a marriage. ”
It's marriage again, but Yunyan doesn't know that the emperor of Haoyue Kingdom likes to use marriage to contain people who want to control. This time, Yunyan was unusually unusual, and then opened his mouth to explain: "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, but now that Yunyan has a marriage contract, how can she accept Your Majesty's marriage again?" ”
"Engagement?" Sun Lan thought about it in his mind, this was probably because he was old and he didn't think about Mu Mo's head, he just thought it was Yunyan's previous marriage with Zhao Mingsheng. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be happy, originally he had this plan to let Yunyan be Zhao Mingsheng's side concubine, and his daughter Sun Qi would be the main room. At first, he was worried that Yunyan would disagree, but if Yunyan had made a private agreement with Zhao Mingsheng for life, then she could only be Zhao Mingsheng's side concubine.
Mu Mo waited outside the palace gate until it was dark before he saw Yunyan's carriage slowly driving out of it.
"Why are you here?"
Looking at Mu Mo Yunyan who was striding towards him, he felt a little surprised, because he had to deal with the emperor's temptation in the palace, so Yunyan didn't feel the passage of time, so he didn't know that he had been in it for a long time.
Mu Mo originally planned that if Yun Yan didn't come out before the sun went down, he would go into the palace to bring Yun Yan out, anyway, with his current identity, it should be no problem to ask to see the Emperor of Haoyue Kingdom.
After spending some time with Yunyan, Mu Mo found that he was becoming more and more interested in this woman. He had never treated anyone else like this before, perhaps because he had regarded Yunyan as his own, so Mu Mo, who had always been desireless and free, became shorter.
"Why did you only come out now, did the emperor embarrass you?"
Looking at Mu Mo's concerned expression, Yun Yan's heart was a little moved, she raised her eyes and said with a smile: "How can I say that I am also the county lord of Haoyue Country, the emperor will naturally not do anything to me." I just made him three dishes and talked to him for a while. ”
Yunyan is used to not worrying about the people around her, so she will subconsciously avoid the important things when it comes to bad things. Mu Mo naturally didn't believe that today was really as light as Yunyan said, but this was not the place to speak, so fortunately he pulled her into his carriage.
Sitting in the closed carriage, Yunyan seemed much more cramped than just now. Although she knew that the man in front of her was about to be her husband, Yunyan always resisted in her heart, she just thought that she didn't have a good impression of men, so she didn't care too much.
Mu Mo saw that Yunyan didn't speak, so he took the initiative to speak: "The matter here is already busy, how about I plan to take you back to Qiang Country in three days?" ”
Yun Yan naturally didn't have any opinions, and she just nodded at Mu Mo's inquiring gaze. However, thinking of what the emperor said to her in the palace before, Yunyan couldn't help but be a little worried, this time I am afraid that I will not be able to leave as easily as they wish, at least Yunyan can't leave if she wants to.
Yunyan didn't tell Mu Mo about her concerns, not because she didn't trust Mu Mo, but because she felt that even if she said it, it wouldn't solve any problems, but would make people irritated. After going back, Yunyan went back to his room, and sure enough, according to what the emperor said, there were already people waiting in the post house for them, and he was going to change their accommodation.
Gu Sanniang didn't wait for Yunyan's return, so she didn't let those people move their things, so when Yunyan came back, what she saw was a picture of Gu Sanniang, Haoxue and the Praetorian Guards confronting each other.
Hao Xue saw Yunyan who came in with Mu Mo and hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Holy Maiden, what's the matter, why did they let us move to the County Lord's Mansion?" ”
"Yes, Yan'er, we've been living here for almost half a month, why do you suddenly move to the county lord's mansion now?"
Gu Sanniang and Hao Xue couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the emperor of Haoyue Kingdom, but there must be a demon when something went wrong, Gu Sanniang guessed that something must have happened to Yunyan in the palace.
Yun Yan glanced at Mu Mo who was standing aside, and then at Gu Sanniang, and finally turned to the leader of the Praetorian Guard and said, "My lord, it's not early now, and our things haven't been packed yet, why don't we pack our luggage today, and wait for you to come over tomorrow and take us over, okay?" ”
The leader of the Praetorian Guard is also a person who has seen the world, and when he saw that Yunyan could be so humble or arrogant at a young age, he couldn't help but praise this sister-in-law for being unusual. He thought that the emperor did not ask them to take Yunyan and them over today, so he agreed to Yunyan's proposal.
After sending the group of Praetorian Guards away, Yun Yan told Gu Sanniang and Hao Xue everything that the emperor said to him today. When Gu Sanniang heard that the emperor didn't let Yunyan leave Haoyue, she slapped the table angrily.
"This Sun Lan is really shameless, thinking about how loyal the Yun family was to him at the beginning, but he killed the Yun family, this is not enough, and now he has to suppress you, it is really too deceitful!"
Gu Sanniang wanted to go out as she spoke, Yunyan was worried that the emperor would send someone to monitor her tonight, and it was naturally not safe for Gu Sanniang to go out at this time.
"No, I'm going to Daoxu and let him deal with this matter. The burden of the Yun family is heavy enough on you, we can't let others bully you again. ”
Seeing Gu Sanniang defending herself like this, Yunyan's heart only felt very warm. She has no mother since she was a child, and now Gu Sanniang has made her feel the warmth of maternal love, and it is really happy to have someone to hurt.
Yun Yan saw that she couldn't persuade Gu Sanniang and didn't speak, so she hugged her directly, and said a little coquettishly: "Auntie, don't worry." I won't be bullied by others so easily, I have a plan for this matter, and it's not the time for my uncle to make a move, so you don't have to trouble him. ”
It was because Yunyan was too well-behaved and sensible that Gu Sanniang always couldn't help but feel sorry for this child. She knew that Yunyan was very measured, and now that the Emperor of Haoyue Kingdom was jealous of them, he would definitely monitor them more, and she really shouldn't act rashly at this time. After thinking about it, Gu Sanniang also obeyed Yunyan's arrangement.
"What are you going to do next?"
"Let's take one step at a time, now we don't know what the emperor has planned, so we can only take one step at a time."
