Chapter 233: If You're Good Enough
"The palace of the king of Yan is authentic, the mystery responds, and the savior pupil."
There were only a dozen words on the note, Yan Zenyi read it over and over again, and after crying and laughing, he finally stuffed the note into his mouth and swallowed it directly.
She already knew that there were Su Ruoshui's people monitoring her inside and outside the hall, and she would definitely not be able to say a few intimate words to her family today. But receiving Yan Youhong's note undoubtedly added a bundle of warm wood to her despair.
She still has a chance, a chance to escape from this cage.
What she needs to do now should be to save her own sister Yan Xingtong. The sister who could see her soul and wink at her with big eyes and smile.
"Someone!" Yan Chanyi sat up from the bed and shouted out the door.
Soon, the palace maid who brought her into the palace yesterday walked in.
Yesterday, Yan Zenyi was full of worries, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, and only took a few closer glances at this palace maid today. Although her appearance is ordinary, she belongs to the kind that can no longer be found when thrown into the crowd, but her footsteps are extremely light, her breathing is steady, and she looks like a person with a kung fu foundation and is not weak.
"See the county lord." The palace maid bowed her eyebrows and knelt down to bow.
"What's your name?" Yan Zenyi didn't think about it anymore, anyway, it was the person sent by Su Ruoshui to monitor her, she didn't care what it was called, but she couldn't call someone every time.
"Slave Chunqiao." Chun Qiao's answer was very concise, and there was no intention of any closeness.
"Chunqiao, come to change the clothes of the county lord, and the county lord will go to visit the queen mother." Yan Zenyi got up from the bed.
"The regent has instructed that the county lord cannot leave this meditation hall." Chunqiao was still kneeling on the ground, with no intention of getting up.
"......" Yan Zenyi didn't expect that even in the palace with five steps, one post, three steps and one sentry, Su Ruoshui was so uneasy about himself.
"Then you go and tell your regent that the county will see him!" Yan Zenyi suddenly became a little angry, and there was a sentence in his heart, and he wanted to scold it directly.
"The regent said that if the lord wants to see him, the slave can take you to him." Chunqiao finally stood up at this moment and walked straight to the wardrobe in the hall.
Yan Chanyi watched Chunqiao open the wardrobe, and was a little dumbfounded for a while. What hung inside was all crescent white! Crescent white coat, crescent white dress, occasionally one or two crescent white dresses have different color patterns on them, but they are also extremely shallow.
Chunqiao turned his head and looked at Yan Zen Yi with an inquiring gaze, and asked cautiously, "Which one does the county lord want to wear today?" ”
Yan Zenyi turned his face away with a headache, and replied with some gritted teeth, "Whatever." ”
She knew that if she entered this harem, she would lose her freedom.
But she didn't expect to lose to such an extent, except to find Su Ruoshui, she couldn't go anywhere, and even what color clothes she wore was not something she could control.
Chunqiao's hands and feet were very nimble, and after a while, he helped Yan Zenyi put on her clothes and combed her hair in a delicate bun. Yan Zenyi didn't even bother to look in the mirror, and only urged Chun Qiao to take her to Su Ruoshui quickly.
Su Ruoshui is in the imperial study, after Emperor Zhou died, Gu Wenhao became the new emperor, and he was justifiably the regent, now Gu Wenhao is less than two years old, naturally everything has to be handled by him. Since he became the regent, he rarely left the palace, and mostly stayed in the side hall next to the imperial study.
As soon as Yan Chanyi walked into the imperial study, he saw Su Ruoshui frowning slightly, staring closely at the fold in his hand, as if he wanted to see a hole in the fold in his hand. There was a mountain of folds on his desk, like a wall, trapping him in it.
"I'm going to see the Queen Mother." Yan Zenyi walked into the imperial study like this, and did not salute or greet, but only explained the meaning directly.
When Su Ruoshui heard her voice, he finally put down the fold in his hand, pressed his tired eyes with both hands, and didn't look at her, but only asked, "Why?" ”
"I'm going to find my sister! Su Ruoshui! She's only two years old! Yan Zenyi didn't want to spread his anxiety in front of him like this, even if he was his best friend in the previous life, he had already become an enemy in this life.
"Do you know who the Queen Mother is?" Su Ruoshui raised her eyes and glanced at Yan Zen Yi with a faint expression.
Yan Zenyi was stunned for a moment, originally said that at the Queen Mother, she subconsciously thought of the former Queen Mother of Emperor Zhou, the woman who hid in the harem to eat fasting and chant Buddha.
But Su Ruoshui asked, and she finally remembered that Emperor Zhou had already died, so ...... Today's Queen Mother...... Is it Senior Sister?
"She won't hurt the star pupils." Su Ruoshui still didn't agree with her to go to the Queen Mother.
After giving birth to a daughter, Li Enchanting's temperament changed greatly, and the current new emperor is just the son of a village aunt who was brought to Li Dai Tao. Li Enchanting couldn't really love this son who was hugged, she only thought about her daughter, and even began to be a little paranoid.
She even hated Yan Zen Yi, and now she has such a lofty status, if she knew that Yan Zen Yi was in this palace, Su Ruoshui really didn't dare to imagine what Li Enchanting would do.
"Since it won't hurt, why don't you let me go and see it?" Yan Zenyi thought that the Queen Mother was a senior sister, and some hope rose in her heart.
"I will come to the Zen Temple for dinner with you, if you are well-behaved enough, tomorrow I will send someone to send the star pupil to the Zen Temple to play with you for a while." Su Ruoshui lowered her eyes again.
The defensiveness and distrust in Yan Zenyi's eyes made him feel a little painful in his heart, but he was helpless. He's got to this point, and he's not going to stop. All he wants is to imprison her by his side, what does it matter if he wants to imprison her by his side?
"What does it mean to be well-behaved in your eyes?" Yan Zenyi subconsciously pulled up the placket of his clothes, and secretly wondered in his heart, should this person want to take the initiative to dedicate himself?
"......" Su Ruoshui looked at Yan Zenyi's movements with some amusement, but he was also a little helpless. He forced her in his last life, and in this life...... He will try to avoid this as much as possible.
"Don't be cynical, just be good enough to me like you used to." Su Ruoshui's tone was full of melancholy for the memories of the past, he sighed lightly, and continued, "You can also try to grill fish for me to eat, maybe I will be happy to eat, and I will leave the star pupil in your meditation hall." ”
Yan Chanyi glanced at Su Ruoshui hesitantly, and for a moment he couldn't tell the truth of his words. But she understood a little, she was free to come and go in and out of the kitchen? Does this mean that she doesn't have to eat soft tendons every day? Maybe you can mix some sharp knife from the kitchen as a weapon?
Yan Chanyi's heart turned a thousand times at this time, and he even thought about the dishes for dinner.
"It's better to do this, I'll cook dinner myself, can you let Na Chunqiao go to the imperial dining room to get the vegetables according to my instructions?" Yan Zenyi's eyes finally had the stars of the past shining again, no longer as unwavering as yesterday.
"Okay......" Su Ruoshui didn't listen carefully to what she was saying, just looked at the starry eyes, and agreed.
"Chunqiao, do you hear that?" Chun Qiao did not follow into the imperial study, but stood not far from the door of the imperial study.
"Yes, the slave hears me." Chunqiao nodded outside, realizing that the people inside couldn't see it, so he hurriedly replied.
"Hey, Su Ruoshui, do you have any taboos?" Yan Zenyi asked, in fact, her cooking skills are not good, in the past few years on the mountain of no return, in addition to barbecuing she is more handy, stir-fry or something, she is really not good at it.
Su Ruoshui was still ignorant in the sweetness of calling his name when she opened her mouth. Su Ruoshui, these three words never seemed to be so pleasant, and his heart jumped with joy when he heard it.
"Well, if you say taboo, I won't eat anything that is unpalatable." As soon as Su Ruoshui's mood was good, his whole person became humorous.
"......" Yan Zenyi rolled his eyes at him fiercely, and then said, "The regent has to talk about it, don't tell the county lord tomorrow that he has changed his mind." ”
Su Ruoshui smiled faintly, for some reason, he felt relieved when he saw her fried hair in front of him. On the contrary, when she always called his cousin or regent so respectfully, he was always a little panicked in his heart.
Yan Zenyi originally planned to get Su Ruoshui something to eat casually, but thinking of his cooking skills, don't slap the horse's leg and make it self-defeating, maybe Su Ruoshui will really hide Yan Xingtong?
So Yan Zenyi still followed the specifications of the barbecue and asked Chun Qiao to go to the imperial dining room to find food.
By the end of Shen Shi, Su Ruoshui came out of the imperial study, and there was still some distance from the Zen Temple, and he had already smelled the rich aroma of barbecue.
His pace couldn't help but speed up a few steps, and when he walked into the meditation hall, he saw that beside the rockery outside the meditation hall, Yan Zenyi had piled up a high stove with many stones, and she was rolling up her sleeves at the moment, while rolling the skewers in her hands, while brushing the spices on it.
There is a big peach tree next to the rockery, which he personally went to the peach forest outside the city to choose for her, and he always remembered her poems and remembered that she liked to eat peach blossom cakes. Now it is Mayday, the season of peach blossoms flying all over the sky, she is standing under the big tree, and behind the smoke of the barbecue, he makes him feel inexplicably fairy.
The heat in the stove seemed to be a little difficult to control, Yan Zenyi's face was slightly stained, and a small section of his bare arm could not be seen as if the original skin was like clotted fat. Not to mention the crescent white robe he specially customized for her, the oily charcoal ash was randomly distributed, obviously a little embarrassed, but Su Ruoshui felt warm inexplicably.
"Coming?" Yan Zenyi was a little happy to see that Su Ruoshui finally came.
She had already baked a lot of finished products, and if he didn't come, the ones would have to be cooled. Yan Chanyi looked at the unfinished skewers in his hand, and instructed Chun Qiao, "You can bake the rest, I'll go change my clothes, and I'll be able to eat." ”
