Chapter 66: Refusal and Welcome

On this day, the Queen Mother summoned Ye Ruotang and Mu Yuyan into the palace, and recently the imperial dining room newly developed a few pastries, and the Queen Mother knew that Ye Ruotang loved to eat, so she thought about her from time to time.

The osmanthus of Shoukang Palace bloomed, and Ye Ruotang smelled the fragrance from afar.

"The Queen Mother" Ye Ruotang leaned over slightly, with a just right smile on her face.

"Queen Mother"

"Hey, no need to be polite, come and sit down"

There are also a few osmanthus plants next to the pastry, and the aroma of osmanthus fully covers the aroma of the pastry.

"Ruotang, you can taste it quickly"

Ye Ruotang picked up the pastry on the plate, took a bite gently, and looked at the Queen Mother in surprise, "Queen Mother, is this a begonia cake?" ”

The Queen Mother looked at the girl with a kind face, "Yes"

"Soft and glutinous, very sweet" said and picked up the pastry on the side, and when he bit it gently, the skin on the face fell down with a clatter, crispy and delicious, "The people in this imperial dining room are really good craftsmanship"

"You, if you like it, you often come to the palace to see the mourning family"

"Hmm," Ye Ruotang's peach blossom eyes smiled.

"The emperor has already given you two a marriage, when do you plan to get married?" The Queen Mother asked coldly.

Ye Ruotang looked at Mu Yuyan, "Queen Mother, we are not in a hurry"

"Hey, Ah Yandu is already in the year of the weak crown, he became a relative earlier, hugging a big fat boy, and enjoying the joy of family in the future."

The girl lowered her head, and her cheeks were dyed with a flush, "Queen Mother"

"This kid, why is he still shy" The Queen Mother covered her mouth and smiled softly.

"Queen Mother, otherwise I'll help you go out for a walk, just walked all the way, there were many flowers blooming in the palace, and the entire palace was immersed in the fragrance of flowers" Ye Ruotang quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, the mourning family hasn't gone out for a long time"

Ye Ruotang hurriedly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother, while Mu Yuyan followed behind without saying a word, and the usual smile disappeared from his face.

In the Imperial Garden, all kinds of flowers bloom beautifully.

"Queen Mother, you see that magnolia is really beautiful, and it compares to the flowers next to it," Ye Ruotang said, pointing to a tall magnolia.

"Yes, but they only live for a few months"

"But do they come every year? Every year you see a different Forbidden City"

“...........”

While the two were talking and laughing, Ye Ruotang saw a familiar figure walking in the distance, and couldn't help but stop and take two more looks.

"What's wrong with Ruotang?

"No.......... It's nothing, Queen Mother, let's go to the pavilion over there and sit down."

"Good"

Ye Ruotang helped the Queen Mother, glanced back from time to time, and as soon as she turned around, she met Mu Yuyan's eyes, and the man shook his head at her.

Also, it is not my turn to take care of the affairs in this palace.

"Queen Mother, what do you like to do on weekdays?" Ye Ruotang poured a cup of tea for the Queen Mother and handed it over.

The Queen Mother received her hand and took a sip gently, "The mourning family doesn't have any preferences, and they chant Buddha and listen to the drama on weekdays."

The Queen Mother loves drama, Ye Ruotang still knows it, and there are often opera troupes in and out of the palace.

"It's good to listen to this drama, the things of the ancients are all in the drama"

"yes"

While he was talking, Yuxuan and the queen came.

"Queen Mother"

"Imperial Grandmother"

The queen glanced at Mu Yuyan meaningfully and walked straight past him.

Mu Yuyan's eyes were on Ye Ruotang from beginning to end, and he never left half a minute.

Yu Xuan looked at the two of them, then lowered his face and sat down with the queen.

"Why did the Queen Mother come to this royal garden today? I couldn't call it back then," the queen quipped.

"Isn't this why Tang girl and Ah Yan came, so they came out and walked around"

The queen glanced at the girl coldly, "I heard that a few days ago, the emperor gave a marriage to Miss Ye and General Ning Yuan."

Ye Ruotang sat on the side, slightly lowering his eyes "yes"

"This palace looks at Miss Ye and General Ning Yuan, who are not very compatible."

As soon as the queen said this, the surroundings were quiet, and the queen mother looked at her and couldn't see any expression.

"Whether you are worthy or not, I have the final say" After a while, Mu Yuyan said coldly.

"As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, General Ning Yuan has to polish his eyes and see clearly," the queen replied not to be outdone.

"It's me who marries Ah Ruo, not the queen's mother, so I don't bother the queen's mother"

“...........”

Mu Yuyan blocked the queen to death with a word.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which might ignite at the slightest touch.

"Queen Mother, this love is not a question of whether it is worthy or not, but whether two people really love each other, as long as they truly love each other, there is naturally no question of whether they are worthy or not" Ye Ruotang smiled on his face, but his eyes were cold.

This queen has wanted to destroy her relationship with Ah Yan several times, what is her intention?

She can pretend to be a soft little white rabbit in front of outsiders, but Ah Yan is her bottom line, and if anyone touches this bottom line, she can't guarantee that she can do anything.

When the "presumptuous" queen heard this, she was immediately angry.

Seeing this, Ye Ruotang hurriedly knelt on the ground, "I don't know if the people's daughter said something wrong and angered the queen?" ”

Mu Yuyan stepped forward and helped the girl up, holding her in her arms, "Queen Mother, I'm a little uncomfortable today, so I'll go back first"

Before the Queen Mother could speak, Mu Yuyan pulled the girl away.

"Ah Yan, what are you doing?" Ye Ruotang has not yet shown her sharp tooth strength, and now she is very annoyed.

"Coming Home"

"I can tell the queen mother, why does she say that about me?" The more Ye Ruotang thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately shook off the man's hand, "What is wrong with me?" Or where did you offend the queen? I have been embarrassed several times, not that I am not worthy of you, or that other women are ........."

As he spoke, Ye Ruotang felt a sour nose, and tears fell silently.

Mu Yuyan saw it, and immediately took the girl into her arms, and gently patted her back, "You don't have anything wrong, you're fine"

"Then why doesn't the queen want me to marry you?"

"You don't need to care about other people's opinions, Mrs. Mu will only be you, and there will be no more others."

Ye Ruotang laughed after hearing this, "Who is Mrs. Mu?"

"You"

"I'm not yet"

"Morning and evening"

Xianghe Palace

The emperor was lying on the soft collapse with his eyes closed, listening to the pipa music very leisurely.

As soon as the picture turned, who was the person playing the pipa behind the tulle who was not Ye Zhinan?

Ye Zhinan looked at the emperor from time to time, sometimes shy and sometimes charming, his eyes were shining, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

After the pipa was finished, the emperor opened his eyes leisurely and looked towards the tulle.

After a while, he shouted "yes"

"I didn't expect Miss Ye to be not only beautiful, but also a must-play pipa."

Ye Zhinan bowed his head slightly, "I can't compare to the musicians in the palace music workshop"

"Miss Ye is modest, your pipa is better than them."

Ye Zhinan covered his mouth behind the tulle and laughed softly.

"What is Miss Ye laughing at? But where did I say it wrong? ”

Ye Zhinan put the pipa aside and slowly walked out of the tulle, "Is the emperor so boastful on weekdays?" ”

Today, Ye Zhinan wore a lake-green skirt, which looked more playful and cute, and his slightly upturned eyes stared straight at the man, as if he was smiling.

A small cherry mouth is slightly hooked, which is really charming.

The emperor couldn't help but look a little stunned.

Ye Zhinan turned his face shyly, "What is the emperor looking at?" The delicate voice reached the man's ears.

"There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, but no one is as beautiful as you"

"Is the emperor making fun of the people's daughter? There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, I'm afraid everyone is a little more beautiful than the folk girls, otherwise how could they enter this harem and become the emperor's concubine? ”

The emperor stretched out his index finger and hooked the girl's jaw, looking at each other, Ye Zhinan's little face was flushed.

This took a closer look, and found that the girl was even more beautiful and thrilling, with a pair of eyes that were extremely clear, which was very rare in the harem.

"Would you like to come into this harem?"

Ye Zhinan immediately took two steps back, keeping some distance from the emperor, "I'm afraid that after entering this deep palace, the emperor won't be able to remember me from time to time, maybe he will leave me behind in a few days, it's better than this."

The expression on the emperor's face changed slightly, and Ye Zhinan said again, "It's not too early this day, if the emperor has nothing to do, the people will go back first."

When Ye Ruotang got up, he deliberately dropped a piece of brocade, and then hurriedly walked out of the Xianghe Palace.

When the emperor saw it, he picked up the brocade and put it in his nose and smelled it, a faint fragrance, just like a person, with a pleasant aroma.

"It's an interesting woman"

"Your Majesty" Gonggong Li's voice sounded outside.

"Come in," the emperor asked after Gonggong Li walked in, "What's the matter?" ”

"The noble Qin recently brewed a jar of wine, and I want to invite the emperor to taste it."

"Oh?" The emperor thought for a moment, then got up and went to Chuxiu Palace.

In the Chuxiu Palace, the Qin nobles dismissed the palace people, and she was the only one left in the huge palace.

"Xin'er, what kind of wine is this? It's so sweet."

Li Xin'er saw that the emperor was coming, and immediately greeted him, "Your Majesty, this is the osmanthus wine brewed by the concubine, the emperor come and taste it."

After that, he pulled the emperor to the table and poured a full cup, the emperor was about to take it, but was opened by Li Xin'er, Li Xin'er turned around and fell firmly into the emperor's arms, "Your Majesty, Xin'er feeds you"

The emperor drank the wine handed over by the woman, "Good wine, good wine"

"The emperor has been looking at his heart for a long time, so he won't forget his heart, right?" The woman gently patted the emperor's chest.

The emperor picked up a strand of green silk from the woman and put it in his nose and sniffed it, "How can it be, it's just that government affairs have been busy recently"

"Then the emperor should take care of the dragon's body, don't be tired"

The woman's clothes accidentally slipped off, and the fragrant shoulders were half exposed, and the emperor looked at the woman with interest.

"Heart, this spring night is short.........."

"Nasty"
