Wu Yunzhao suddenly felt a flower in front of him, and then all kinds of postures flashed in his mind, some bowed their heads, some bowed, some bowed slightly•••••• and in less than half an hour, they had already learned the etiquette here.

At this moment, a female voice came from outside the door, and she was heard: "Niangniang, it's time for lunch." ”

Wu Yunzhao asked secretly, "Who is she?" ”

The system said: "Maid Ziyan." ”

Wu Yunzhao asked again: "Are you your own person?" ”

The system said, "Yes." ”

Wu Yunzhao nodded and said aloud, "Come in." Immediately, the closed palace door was pushed open, and five palace maids rushed in, and after putting down a dry dish, four retreated, leaving only one palace maid in a light purple robe.

Wu Yunzhao walked slowly to the table, sat upright, and looked the palace maid named Ziyan up and down.

Ziyan is about eighteen or nine years old, with a delicate appearance and a slender figure. At this time, he was respectfully preparing to serve, standing at the table, bowing his head slightly.

Wu Yunzhao saw that Ziyan was a little nervous, so he noticed that he had been observing for a long time, and said lightly: "Ziyan, the room is suffocating, go and open the window." ”

Ziyan said: "Yes, Niangniang." Secretly relieved, but I didn't understand why the gentle and kind queen mother looked at her with scrutinizing eyes, with a little unease, opened the window to ventilate as instructed, and returned to Wu Yunzhao's side again. She saw Wu Yunzhao pick up the chopsticks, put them down again, and was not interested in the meal, and said with concern: "Niangniang, even if it is not appetizing, we have to eat as much as possible, we can't ask too much at this time." ”

In the harem, there is only one kind of person that women can count on and rely on---- men. This man can be an emperor or an heir, as long as he possesses one of them, as long as he is not too stupid, he is clothed and fed, and it is not a problem to live comfortably to the end.

However, heirs are rare, and it all depends on the destiny of heaven. In such a situation, the favor of the emperor becomes especially important.

Seeing the high and the low, seeing the dishes on the plate is the norm in social relations, no matter where it is, whether it is the people or the palace, it is like this.

The so-called, the phoenix that landed is not as good as a chicken, an unfavored queen, in addition to holding the phoenix seal, occupying the gorgeous palace for a long time, only promises, I am afraid that even a palace maid is not as good, at least, as long as the palace maid does not make mistakes and does her duty every day, she still has freedom for the rest of the time. The palace ladies can leave the palace when they reach a certain age, but the queen cannot.

The queen can only die in the palace, and as for whether she is the queen when she dies, it is not certain.

Wang Ruiyao's situation is somewhat special. She has been able to retain the throne to this day, neither relying on the favor of Xiong Yan, the current Chu Emperor, nor relying on having a son under her knees, but all by the last emperor's will. But things are not people, the first emperor has long been buried underground, how can he control how his son acts? Without the grace of the Son of Heaven, how can we talk about heirs? If this goes on for a long time, Wang Ruiyao's life will only be more difficult, even if she will not be abolished this time, if she escapes it by luck, sooner or later she will be abolished, relegated to the cold palace, and live in seclusion to death.

Wu Yunzhao understood the rules, and he didn't care about Ziyan's words, and said: "The palace has just gotten up, and the body is still tired, so I'll use it later." Ziyan, in recent days, this palace has suffered from unhappiness, which has affected you. As he spoke, he took Ziyan's hand and held it in his palm and patted it gently.

Ziyan was grateful in her heart and persuaded: "Don't think too much and worry too much. You are the queen, and the servant is your side, and no one dares to bully. He sighed slightly and said, "It's Niangniang, you have to be more careful." ”

Wu Yunzhao's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "But what happened?" "Put your arms back and cross them on your legs, and fold your palms up and down and press them on your knees.

Ziyan said: "Niangniang, the rumors in the palace are like tigers, and many people are spreading rumors, all of them are rumoring that Your Majesty is going to abolish you." ”

Wu Yunzhao frowned slightly and asked, "Do you know where this rumor came from?" ”

Ziyan said: "The slave was worried about the safety of the mother, so she inquired secretly, and it turned out that this rumor came from the mouth of the concubine. Mother, she is coveting your posteriority. ”

Wu Yunzhao blurted out: "She dares!" ”

Ziyan was startled, knelt on the ground, panicked in her heart, and persuaded: "Don't be angry, don't be angry." ”

Wu Yunzhao knew that his tone was not good, he was afraid that his usual style was different from Wang Ruiyao's, so he took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic, get up." Stretching out his arm to help Ziyan up, he said, "This palace has been imprisoned for several days, and my heart is restless, and it is inevitable that I will lose my peace. ”

Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief again, nodded, and didn't dare to say anything more.

Wu Yunzhao said: "Ziyan, you go and get busy first, you don't have to wait, this palace has to think about it, you can't be so cowardly anymore." ”

Ziyan was slightly stunned, and said happily: "It's best if Niangniang can think like this, and the slave and maid will retreat first." He bowed and withdrew.

The palace door was closed, and the system said: "Master, please pay attention to the personality." Wang Ruiyao is the daughter of the Taifu, knowledgeable, well-behaved, and a standard lady, even if she becomes a queen, she still maintains a consistent gentle personality, and rarely speaks as fiercely as you. ”
