Chapter Seventy-Six: Zhilan Palace is on Fire

Cui'er had already been taken down by the palace maid, and Qiu'er hurriedly helped Yun Qingyan tidy up the ripped clothes.

"Princess, are you alright?"

"It's fine." Yun Qingyan shook his head, "It's not too early, let's hurry up and go to Zhongcui Palace." ”

"Yes." Qiu'er responded.

In Zhong Cui Palace, Yun Yao has arrived.

Since Empress Chu thought it out last time, she no longer bothered about whether Emperor Yun had come to Zhongcui Palace all day long. Instead, they put more attention on Yuan Qingyan and Yun Yao, and made the pastries they like to eat today.

"Queen Mother, let the workers come to make pastries in the future, you have just recovered from your illness some time ago, but you must not be tired anymore." Yun Yao spoke with concern.

"Don't worry, the queen mother has fully recovered, I don't have anything to do in this Zhongcui Palace, and I can pass the time by making some pastries."

Since the last time, Yun Qingyan has noticed that Empress Chu's whole body is a little different from before, and he thinks that it may be because he is completely disappointed in Emperor Yun in his heart, so he has such an attitude now.

However, thinking about this may not be bad, so Yun Qingyan did not persuade anything.

Picking up the pastry and taking a bite, Yun Qingyan said to Queen Chu with a smile: "Sure enough, the queen mother's craftsmanship is good, but my daughter is worried that if she is raised by the queen mother, she won't be able to eat the pastries made by others in the future." ”

"As far as your mouth is sweet, you will please the care of this palace." The smile on Empress Chu's face suddenly deepened than just now.

"The daughter is telling the truth, if you don't believe it, the queen mother can ask the second brother to see if the second brother has the same thoughts as the daughter in his heart." After speaking, Yun Qingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Yao.

Yun Yao also smiled, "What my sister said is right. ”

"Okay, if you two sisters and brothers like it, eat more, and whenever you want to eat, this palace will make it for you."

As soon as Empress Chu's words fell, she heard the eunuch outside say:

"The emperor has arrived!"

The smile on her face stiffened unconsciously, and Empress Chu got up to greet her.

"I've seen the emperor."

"I've seen my father."

"Well, you don't have to be polite." Emperor Yun waved his hand, "I heard that the queen asked Yan'er and Yao'er to come to eat together tonight, so I came over together." ”

Empress Chu frowned and looked at Yun Yao and Yun Qingyan.

Yun Yao smiled, "Queen Mother, Erchen just went to the imperial study to discuss political affairs with his father, and said something casually. ”

"Queen, think about it carefully, our family of four hasn't eaten together for a long time, since you have called Yan'er and Yao'er, how can you miss me." Emperor Yun looked at Empress Chu, although her tone and expression were very natural, there was still a little bit of scrutiny between her eyebrows.

I don't know if the queen's anger in her heart has disappeared now.

"Come on, prepare dishes and chopsticks for the emperor."

"Okay." Emperor Yun breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the table and sat down, "Don't stand still, sit down quickly." ”

"Yes." Yun Yao arched his hand and responded with a smile.

After sitting down, he still cleared the smoke and blinked slightly.

Yun Qingyan could naturally understand what Yun Yao's mind was, and he must have seen that there was something wrong with the relationship between Empress Chu and Emperor Yun in the past few days, so he wanted to ease up.

Merely...... Yun Qingyan glanced at Queen Chu, seeing that Queen Chu was like this, she was afraid that what Yun Yao did today would only be in vain.

Although she sat down at the table again, Queen Chu's face no longer had the smile she had just now, and she only occasionally hooked the corners of her mouth when she was talking to Yun Qingyan and Yun Yao.

"Yan'er, there have been a lot of things that have happened during this time, have you fallen behind a lot of homework in your study?" Emperor Yun looked at Yun Qingyan and asked.

During this time, because of the grounding and various things, Yun Qingyan really rarely went to the study again.

"Father, in fact, my daughter's progress in the study is not the same as everyone's, so it doesn't matter if she falls for a few days."

"You can't be proud of the reputation of being the first talented woman, otherwise your father didn't have much hope for you when he let you go to the study. But now it seems that it is really my father who underestimated you before, and after a while, the envoy of Dongyang will come, and Mrs. Feng has also mentioned it to me, hoping to let you participate in the competition between the two countries. This year has been agreed, you can't take it lightly during this time, and you must continue to work hard. Emperor Yun looked at Yun Qingyan's eyes, full of relief.

was originally the daughter who gave her the most headache, but now she is the one who gives herself the most face.

Yun Qingyan hadn't opened her mouth yet, but Queen Chu took the lead and said: "Yan'er, if you don't want to participate, you can tell your father directly, after all, it's not a good thing to be in the limelight too much." ”

Emperor Yun was stunned for a moment, understanding what Empress Chu meant.

"The previous incident was a moment of negligence, so Yan'er suffered some grievances, but such a thing will definitely not happen again. Since Yan'er is talented and learned, she should naturally show more of it, so that she can win glory for our Chu Yunguo. ”

Empress Chu sighed softly in her heart, looked away, and didn't say anything more.

"Father, mother, since Mrs. Feng has already told her father, the daughter is willing to participate." She could understand what Queen Chu meant, but she had already agreed to Feng Yihan in this matter, so she naturally wanted to participate in the competition.

"Okay, this is my good daughter!" Emperor Yun nodded in satisfaction.

"Let's eat." Queen Chu sandwiched some dishes for Yun Qingyan and Yun Yao, and sighed softly in her heart.

Emperor Yun saw that Empress Chu was not very happy, and he didn't say anything more, and began to eat.

It's just that halfway through dinner, someone suddenly rushed to Zhongcui Palace to report that Zhilan Palace was on fire.

Zhilan Palace is Yun Xiyue's residence, and now that Yun Xiyue is still grounded, it is naturally not a trivial matter for Zhilan Palace to suddenly catch fire, and Emperor Yun hurried over.

And Queen Chu is now very sensitive to the affairs of Concubine Wan's side, so she rushed behind without hesitation, and Yun Qingyan and Yun Yao also went together.

Outside the Zhilan Palace, many workers came and went to fight the fire, and it could be seen that the fire had been basically controlled. However, the blackened palace courtyard and walls also show that the fire just now was not small.

"Father!" Yun Xiyue's whole hair was in a messy bun, and her face and body were stained with a lot of black ash, and she immediately cried and ran up when she saw Emperor Yun coming.

"Father, you are finally here, my daughter almost thought that she would never see her father again."

"Xiyue, are you alright?" Emperor Yun carefully looked at Yun Xiyue and was relieved after making sure that she was safe and sound.

Although his love for Yun Xiyue is not as good as Yun Qingyan, he is his daughter no matter what, so he naturally loves and cares.

Yun Xiyue trembled all over, looking pitiful, "Father, my daughter is staying in the room, and there is a fire in a good way, if I don't react in time and run out, I'm afraid that my daughter has died in the fire now." ”
