"The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine just ......" Yin Lingyuan wanted to explain.

"Get on your knees!"

Yin Lingyuan retreated from the imperial case, and was about to kneel but felt a wave of resistance coming, and then the same self appeared in front of the meeting, kneeling on the ground upright.

"Your Excellency?" She was taken aback, tried to call out, but got no response, and then looked at Qi Ye on the royal case, still with the original expression, and did not find any clues.

Yin Lingyuan stabilized his mind, stood in place and spoke: "Can the emperor listen to the words of his concubines." ”

Qi Ye looked coldly at Yin Lingyuan kneeling on the ground, without saying a word, and from the perspective of the real Yin Lingyuan standing, he could clearly see the killing intent in the corners of his eyes.

She didn't dare to delay any longer: "The concubines don't dare to discuss the holy ruling, just considering the Third Highness, no matter how the Wei family is, the Third Highness is your son after all, it doesn't matter if the emperor kills the Wei family, but if the Third Highness grows up in the future, how do you want him to deal with himself?" ”

As she spoke, she carefully observed Qi Ye's face, although it was still cold, but the aura of slaughter gradually dissipated, Yin Lingyuan put her mind at ease, and continued: "The concubine heard that the Holy Lord Mingjun often punishes his subjects with both rigidity and softness, and he is responsible for his head and lenient obedience, and the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, this matter is a secret in the palace in the final analysis, and it involves His Majesty's privacy. ”

When the words fell, the hall was quiet for a while, Qi Ye looked at her fixedly, without saying a word, and just when Yin Lingyuan couldn't help but want to speak again, he finally heard Qi Ye's voice: "Get up." ”

Yin Lingyuan was about to ask Yu Ze, when he saw the puppet disappear on the spot, replaced by his real self standing in the hall.

"I'll think about what you said, go down." Qi Ye retracted his gaze and picked up the fold again for review.

Yin Lingyuan saluted and retired, walked out of the main hall and couldn't wait to ask Yu Ze what was going on just now: "Could it be that this is the puppet technique I talked about last time?" ”

Yu Ze responded, and Yin Lingyuan was instantly excited, since he could perform puppetry, would he be able to sneak out of the palace perfectly? Thinking about it just now, he didn't find anything abnormal under Qi Ye's nose.

Yu Ze seemed to know what she was thinking, and broke it mercilessly: "With the aura that you and I have now, we can manipulate the puppet technique for half an hour at most, and the puppet can't be too far away from the real body." ”

Row horn. Yin Lingyuan's hopes were disappointed, so he had to be determined to work hard to grow vegetables and cultivate well.

Wei Meiren died, and the reason for the external statement was that he was seriously ill and died violently, and there was no funeral ceremony, only a piece of grass was swept away and thrown into a mass grave.

The emperor questioned the Wei family in Jiangnan on the grounds of vain for the sake of holy grace, Wei's mother and Wei Yizhi were decided, and their sons and elders were sent into exile, and those who were less than six years old were not admitted to the church, and the servants of the family were beheaded by those close to them, and the rest were either sold or found their own way out.

All those who might know the inside story were dealt with by the emperor one by one, and the Jiangnan Wei family declined and disappeared.

There are not many people in the palace who know the inside story, and most of them guess that Wei Meiren saw that the emperor was guilty, so he was disposed of, and he was even more embarrassed and mocked by the third prince who had just emerged, and they all asserted that he did not have a sacred heart, and there would be no one in the future.

Unexpectedly, the sacred heart was unpredictable, and Qi Ye gave another edict and pointed out the three princes to the concubines to raise.

Originally, the third prince and Xiao Yu'er were on good terms, and Wei Meiren's matter was discovered by Yin Lingyuan, Qi Ye saw that she liked children and wanted to hand over the little black child to her to raise, but Yin Lingyuan refused, and there happened to be He Jieyu and Xian Concubine present, and Qi Ye pointed it out to Xian Concubine.

At this moment, the palace is not calm, what is the identity of the concubine, it can be said that as long as her clan is safe and does not make trouble, she will always be able to stand tall in the palace, and the emperor is a matter of time before she is promoted.

The third prince gave it to her, and her status rose, which was a great help to the concubine.

However, in the eyes of others, Yin Lingyuan, who jumped all the way, was like the old farmer who had stolen the fruit, secretly laughing at it, and there was also sarcasm in it.

"I heard that my sister also went to the emperor to intercede for the sake of His Royal Highness, which made Long Yan angry, who would have thought that she would make a wedding dress for her." Concubine Rong gloated, they didn't know that it was Yin Lingyuan who took the initiative to refuse to raise the third prince.

The third prince is Qi Ye's own son, and he will have to leave the palace sooner or later in the future, Yin Lingyuan doesn't want to leave too many fetters, but there is no need to explain these to others, she said calmly: "The concubine is dignified and dignified, and the emperor considers the third highness, so he naturally wants to choose a more suitable concubine for him." ”

"Sister Yu's words are really high-sounding", Concubine Rong sneered, "I just don't know if my sister really thinks so in her heart, in the end, she is still blessed with a concubine, she picked up such a big son for nothing, how can she be like He Jieyu, she worked hard to conceive a baby for ten months, and she didn't know what it was." ”

As soon as Concubine Rong's map cannon was fired, she indiscriminately scared people.

He Jieyu was not there, and Yin Lingyuan spoke: "Sister He is naturally born of a dragon descendant, except that the prince is a princess, otherwise what else can it be?" ”

"Concubine Rong, don't lose your sense of proportion," the concubine spoke.

Concubine Rong glared at Yin Lingyuan fiercely and stopped talking.

"The emperor naturally has his considerations, since the third prince gave Xian Concubine, then Xian Concubine will be her biological mother in the future, before and after others, don't mention others again, make the emperor unhappy." Guifei said.

Everyone in the harem stood up and saluted: "The concubine must follow the teachings." ”

The concubine nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand to let everyone sit down, and said to the concubine: "The time for the return of the Third Highness is still short, and you will have to worry more in the future." ”

"Yes." Concubine Xian stood up and whispered, she didn't say much during the whole process, and she didn't respond to the provocations of the concubines as if she hadn't heard them.

Coming out of Ningshou Palace, Yin Lingyuan called Concubine Xian: "What's wrong with my sister today, but is she unwell?" ”

"No", Concubine Xian pulled out a smile, looking quite reluctant.

"What those people say, my sister doesn't have to take it to heart", Yin Lingyuan thought that what Concubine Rong said just now made her unhappy, and explained, "They don't know the inside story, but my sister knows that it is indeed that I don't want to raise the third prince." ”

It's okay that she didn't say the second half of the sentence, but when she said it, Concubine Xian's face seemed to be even more ugly, but she still tried to maintain her expression on her face, and comforted: "What my sister said, I naturally know my sister, and the small kitchen in the palace is still stewed with medicinal food for the third prince, so I won't talk to my sister more." ”

When the words fell, Concubine Xian said goodbye and left, Yin Lingyuan looked at her distant back, and she was really puzzled.

In the middle of summer, the vegetables of Yinghua Palace were harvested and planted again, in order to hide people's eyes, all vegetables were planted according to the season, and celery, lettuce, camellia, rape, and spinach were planted in spring; In the summer, peppers, loofahs, cucumbers, water spinach, eggplant......

After a year of watering the peach trees, this year's fruit is of better quality, and the first batch has turned red and pointed and will ripen in a few days.

Thinking about this time last year, the Sakura Palace in the grounded relied on these peaches to get through the initial difficulties, and the palace people could exchange all kinds of food for delicious peaches, but now I am afraid that there will be no more.

Picking the first basket of peaches this year, in order to show filial piety, it was natural to send it to the Queen Mother's palace first, just the second brother sent a letter, saying that all the preparations for the milk tea shop were in place, and asked Yin Lingyuan when it could open, so she wanted to take the opportunity to send peaches to pass a clear road in front of the Queen Mother.

When she arrived at Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother did not wake up from a nap, and Fuxi led Yin Lingyuan to the side hall to wait.

"The first basket of peaches of the year", Yin Lingyuan gestured to Bao Sheng, who lifted the curtain on the basket, revealing the round pink peaches inside, "just picked from the tree, it is fresh, I am tired of my aunt cooking, and I will taste it when the Queen Mother wakes up." ”

"In the morning, the Queen Mother still chattered, saying that the peaches in Lord Yu's womb should be ripe, but it happened that you sent them here", Fu Xi smiled, "The slave will go to cook." ”

When Fuxi washed the peaches and brought them up, the Queen Mother also happened to wake up, and when she saw Yin Lingyuan, she smiled: "What kind of wind blew you here today, isn't there something to beg for help?" ”

"Look at what the Queen Mother said", Yin Lingyuan was disgusted, "The concubine hasn't seen the Queen Mother for a long time, so I miss you." ”

The more she gets along with the Queen Mother, the more Yin Lingyuan feels that this old man is wise and cute, which reminds her of the days when she was a child with her grandmother, and she is quite close and comfortable in conversation.

"Cheng Cheng Cheng", the Queen Mother smiled connived, and pointed to Fuxi, "Quickly take the peach to the mourning family to taste." ”

The peaches have been washed and cut into small pieces, Fu Xi inserted them with a small silver hairpin, and handed them to the Queen Mother: "The first basket of this summer, Yu Jieyu was just ripe and sent it, which shows that it is a piece of filial piety." ”

The Queen Mother took it and put it in her mouth, her teeth touched it slightly, and a rich juice burst out, and then the fragrance of the peach overflowed her mouth, and she nodded again and again: "It's better than what the emperor sent." ”

"The queen mother likes it, and the concubines pick fresh ones every day and send them over." Yin Lingyuan said with a smile.

"Are you willing?" The Queen Mother leaned at her and said deliberately, "According to the appearance of the old age, it will be transported outside the palace, but it can be sold for a lot of silver taels." ”

"You said no, the concubine naturally knows how to be proportionate, and it will never be like this", Yin Lingyuan said with a change of voice, "But...... Yesterday, the second brother of the mother's family wrote a letter, saying that he wanted to open a teahouse, and the concubine thought that she would not be able to eat more peaches in the future, so she sent it to the second brother a little, but could it be made? ”

The Queen Mother had such an expression, and scolded with a smile: "I also said that I had nothing to do and beg for mourning, is your second brother going to open a teahouse, or are you your own?" ”

"Hehe, I really can't hide anything from you." Yin Lingyuan smiled and leaned up, "I made those milk teas, so that the second brother knew, he had a bright brain, so he thought of this, and the concubine just made some plans." ”

"You make milk tea in the palace, how will your second brother know?" The Queen Mother looked at her, "If you don't tell the truth, the mourning family will not want you." ”

Sure enough, he couldn't play tricks in front of the Queen Mother, Yin Lingyuan had no choice but to say his idea.

"For women?" The Queen Mother was novel, "This is fresh, it's really unprecedented." ”

"Actually, it's not new", Yin Lingyuan said, "Queen Mother, do you think, aren't all those high-end jewelry puzi outside the palace female customers?" If a lady with status came, she would have to receive her behind closed doors, and the concubine would just replace her jewelry with refreshments. ”

"This is also true", the Queen Mother nodded, "But jewelry is one thing, can you really open this milk tea shop?" The bigger the family, the more rules there are, but I'm afraid that they won't come. ”

"Of course it's not just milk tea", Yin Lingyuan said eloquently, "Isn't there still a peach here for the concubine, in a few days, the grapes will be ripe, and the second brother will buy some fruits from outside." Yin Lingyuan glanced at the dim sum on the case of the Queen Mother, and continued: "There is also this unique dim sum in your palace, and I will have to ask the chef in your palace for advice." ”

"You girl, the idea has hit the mourning family, you can figure it out." The Queen Mother laughed and scolded.

"It's not in vain to ask him to teach once", Yin Lingyuan said, "The Queen Mother can rest assured, the concubine who should be given will not miss him." ”

"That's it", the Queen Mother was helpless, "How do you like to toss and toss, just the same, don't make a fuss." ”

"You can rest assured", Yin Lingyuan was overjoyed, "The concubine is responsible for making ideas, and my second brother has everything in charge." ”

When I went, I carried a basket of peaches, and when I came back, what Bao Sheng held in his arms became a delicate wooden box, which was a peach-shaped red coral given by the Queen Mother, saying that it was appropriate for the occasion.

"This step is so beautiful, and it complements the master's peach-colored clothes the most." It's been a long way out, and Baosheng is still sighing.

"The Queen Mother loves our master the most", Han Lu also said, "Every time I go, I either bring snacks or jewelry, and I don't know how much more expensive than the dishes we send, master, you say ......" She said and asked Yin Lingyuan, but saw that her master stopped for some reason.

"What are you looking at?" Han Lu stepped forward curiously, and saw that in the gazebo in front of him, Jin Meiren was holding something in her hand, and she seemed to be crying?

Not far away, Jin Meiren also found them, immediately stuffed things back into her sleeves, hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, stood up and walked over here: "Yu Jieyu Wanfu, I didn't expect to meet Jieyu here." ”

"Jin Mei doesn't have to be polite", Yin Lingyuan also greeted her, for some reason, she felt that the Jin Mei she saw just now was like a living person, but at this moment she regained her usual caution, like wearing a delicate and decent mask.

"It's sad to see Jin Meiren," Yin Lingyuan asked, "but what difficulties did you encounter?" ”

"Jieyu has a lot of heart", Jin Meiren smiled, "Fang Cai is blinded by the wind, the concubine has Yifei Niangniang to take care of, where will there be any difficulties." ”

"That's good", Yin Lingyuan said, "But Concubine Yi Niangniang worked hard, and there must be something that she couldn't take care of, otherwise the little prince was sick last time, and she didn't need Jinmei to greet her." ”

"It is the honor of the concubine to visit the little prince", Jinmei said, "It's just that the concubine's status is low, and everything depends on the meaning of Concubine Yi." ”

This is very obvious, Yin Lingyuan clearly said that she was visiting the little prince, but secretly accused her of reminding Yu Meiren that there was a problem with the ink ingot, and Jin Meiren's answer undoubtedly confirmed her guess - Jin Meiren was subject to Concubine Yi, and she had the heart to get rid of it but her strength was insufficient.

"Jin Meiren has outstanding character and appearance, and promotion is a matter of time before she is promoted", Yin Lingyuan smiled, "He Jieyu and I are looking forward to the day when my sister will come to the door again." ”

"Lao Jieyu remembers", Jin Meiren responded in a low voice, not seeing joy or unwillingness, but said that it was dark and left early.

"Master, Jin Meiren......" Bao Sheng was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's just missing my relatives." Yin Lingyuan smiled and greeted Hanlu, "Let's go, go back and reply to the second brother." ”

Outside the palace.

Yin Anlu received the reply from the palace, and immediately overjoyed, and opened according to the auspicious day that he had been optimistic about for a long time. The name was taken by Yin Lingyuan, called "Xian Ming Xiaozhu", and it was clearly written on the signboard that only female guests were accepted.

Yiying's guy Xiao Ergu is a woman, and even Yin Anlu, the owner, does not appear directly in the store, he specially went to find a female shopkeeper, named Zhao Huanyu, who is a well-known female household in Dijing.

used to be from everyone's background, but after meeting someone unladylike, insisting on and leaving was not tolerated by the family, so he set up a female household by himself.

It took a lot of effort for Yin Anlu to invite her.

The word "immortal" in "Xian Ming Xiaozhu" is taken from "Xianke Building", Yin Anlu never deliberately hides the fact that he is the owner of Xian Ming Xiaozhu, many old customers of Xian Ming Xiaozhu heard that they had opened a teahouse and were eager to try, and they really sighed when they learned that only women were accepted.

But as the Queen Mother said before, which of you women is showing up at will? Not to mention eating and drinking outside, although the Xianming Xiaozhu has opened, it is very different from the grand opening of the Cyclamen Building.

The Yin family brothers and sisters had expected this situation, and the peach was the secret weapon they planned to use to open up the situation.

Xian Ming Xiaozhu buys milk tea and sends peaches, what milk tea is Dijing people don't know for the time being, but there are rumors that the peach is the one that set off a rush to buy in Dijing last year, but unfortunately it was only sold for a while, and then I want to eat it, but it is hard to find.

Xian Ming Xiaozhu actually sold it, which made the already curious people even more impatient.

Isn't it a place where men are not entertained? The nobles of the imperial capital have their own methods.

Early in the morning, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Xianming Xiaozhu, the curtain of the car was opened, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl saw that there was no one left and right, and quickly jumped down from the car and entered it.

This girl is the youngest daughter of the Lang of the Ministry of Rites, Miss Shijia, who can't stand her brother's soft grinding and hard bubbles, plus she herself is also curious, taking advantage of the lack of people in the early morning, she quietly went out, and wanted to come to Xianming Xiaozhu to help her brother buy a few catties of peaches.

She originally intended to make a quick decision, but she didn't expect that there would be a hole in it as soon as she entered.

The small building is divided into two floors, and the whole lobby is decorated with warmth and elegance, and the goose yellow gauze tent is windless and automatic, adding a bit of warmth.

The spiral staircase leading to the second floor is amazing, and you want to go up and experience it. The most important thing is that there are many large and small grooves dug in the wall on the side of the staircase, and each groove is sealed with glass, clearly revealing the same jewelry inside.

- Beads, steps, earrings, bracelets, may not be precious items, but such a dazzling array of walls, Miss Shi's heart is agitated, I don't know what to use.

Of course, if she is from modern times, she knows that there is one word that best expresses her mood at the moment - "girly heart".

Miss Shi's girlish heart was overflowing, and she couldn't wait to go up the stairs immediately, step by step, and her eyes couldn't leave those dazzling jewelry.

"What kind of tea would Miss like to drink?" The female guy waited until she had finished reading it before she stepped forward to ask with a smile.
