The Empress Dowager sighed, "When the first emperor was leaving, he set up an edict to pass on the throne to you. The only requirement is that there is no cannibalism. ”

"If they're willing to stay in a safe corner. Since there is no peace, I can't let them go any longer. ”

"But the edict of the first emperor"

"Queen Mother, the current emperor is me!" Xiao Changqi reminded the Empress Dowager that he was in power now in the Yan Dynasty. The only useful thing in the edict of the first emperor is to pass on the throne to him, and the others can be ignored.

The Empress Dowager listened to Xiao Changqi's tone of authority, and suddenly froze, as if she had just woken up, her son is the emperor, the master of the Yan Dynasty, and all the people are obedient and admired, including her mother!

"If the retainers follow the edict of the first emperor and do not punish them for the crime of rebellion, wouldn't they be conniving at their wanton rebellion. Even if I can tolerate it, the civil and military forces of the imperial court may endure it, and the people of the world may endure the repeated ravages of war. What about enemy countries beyond their borders? The current national strength of the Yan Dynasty is no longer as good as that of the Jin State, and if it continues to be so turbulent, the Yan Dynasty will only have one way to fall. ”

The queen mother was frightened, and sighed in a deep mood for a while, "This matter is not thought about by the queen mother, and the queen mother should not interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty." ”

"It's Erchen who has lost his temper." Xiao Changqi poured tea for the Queen Mother herself, "Queen Mother, please drink tea." ”

The Queen Mother took the tea, took a sip of it, and then changed the subject, talking about the main purpose of her visit.

"Today was the day of the final election, and I knew that you were busy, so I pushed the auspicious day back and changed it to the real election in three days."

"Queen Mother, regarding the election of the show girl, the sons may disappoint the queen mother." Xiao Changqi thought about the note left by Ye Qingyan, and continued: "This time the show girl, I don't plan to keep people. ”

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother stood up from the couch chair, "But none of the portraits of these show girls are heartfelt?" ”

Before the final selection, the court painter would paint the portraits of the ladies and present them to the emperor for reading. If there is something pleasing to the eye, it is not impossible to call the attendant to sleep at the moment.

Xiao Changqi said: "No, those portraits of show girls, the sons and daughters have not seen them yet. ”

The Empress Dowager sat down again and continued: "After all, the portrait is no better than the real person. You heard the queen mother say that among the show girls in this election, there are two outstanding ones. One is the seventh lady of Andinghou's Mansion and the queen's cousin Ye Jingning. This is a talented girl, who has a good hand of painting, can also chant poetry, and her dancing posture is also extremely smart, especially that appearance, which can be regarded as a flower and a moon, and has the reputation of the first talented beauty in Beijing. As for the other, it is Ouyang Yulin, the daughter of the General's Mansion. The end is beautiful and generous, gentle and virtuous, the words are spoken, and the smile is like the person in the painting. In particular, she is the only young lady in Ouyang Mansion, and her status is even more precious. If she enters the harem, she will firmly hold the power of the General's Mansion under the imperial power. In any case, this Ouyang Yulin is a must-choose show girl. ”

Xiao Changqi was silent...... secretly worried that Ye Qingyan would not let him enter the palace as a draft girl, but because of Ye Jingning? In the past, when he was in the Jade Prince's Mansion, Ye Jingning was painting in the atrium garden, and he had nothing to do to take a look, but he was warned by the 'vinegar jar'.

Now that Ye Jingning has been selected as a show girl, if she hadn't returned to the palace late and didn't have time to stop it, she wouldn't have let Ye Jingning be nominated at all.

However, given that the woman left a message, if he left the show girl, maybe he would really dare to let him go away.

This is not allowed!

……

Ye Qingyan rode around Yuchuan Village, the weather was clear, there was no fog, and the village was also reflected by the afterglow of the setting sun as if gilded with a layer of golden light, which was particularly quiet and peaceful.

"Looks like we're going somewhere else." Ye Qingyan looked up at Li Peak, prepare to rest first, and soak in the hot spring to relieve the fatigue of a day of horseback riding.

Riding a horse up the mountain, the mountain road is still very easy to walk, after all, the Tianchi Courtyard on the Oriole Peak is a royal courtyard, and it is impossible to make the mountain road potholes.

When I got to the top, I just saw the last rays of the sunset falling, and the sky and the earth were dim for a moment.

The gate of the Tianchi Annexes is locked, and it seems that there is no watchman.

He drew the dragon scale whip from his waist and whipped it at the lock, and the door lock was whipped open.

Ye Qingyan led the horse in.

At first glance, I saw the clear and mirror-like hot spring pool, and I immediately felt tired.

"Get something to eat first, and when you're full, soak in the hot springs."

First take the horse to the stable, take the concentrate from the storage bracelet and give it to the horse.

Then he entered the kitchen, and saw that the firewood stove and kitchenware and other applications were all complete, so he took out a bag of corn and a piece of raw beef from the storage bracelet, and cooked a pot of beef porridge for himself to eat.

Holding a large bowl of beef porridge, Ye Qingyan walked towards the hot spring pool.

She is going to eat porridge while soaking in the hot springs, which is also a special taste.

Ye Qingyan put down the porridge, and then sat on the edge of the hot spring pool, and when he was about to take off his clothes, he heard a joking voice sound, "Apprentice, our master-apprentice fate is really deep." ”

"......" Ye Qingyan's action of undressing immediately stopped, and then watched the white owl with a dark gold thread trim on his shoulders falling from the sky. A head of snow-white hair, against the backdrop of the dark color, exudes a luster like cold jade, and the red blood and red pupils are even more weird and more and more beautiful.

"You male ghost."

"If you don't call Master, forget it, you will become a ghost." Bai Xiao fell beside her, and then picked up Ye Qingyan's beef porridge, which was not too hot, and drank it in a big gulp.

"Still a hungry ghost." Ye Qingyan looked at him drinking porridge and shook his head, "I haven't eaten for a few days?" ”

"Five days." The white owl drank the porridge clean.

Ye Qingyan looked at the big bowl that probably didn't need to be brushed, took a large piece of braised beef from the storage bracelet, cut it into thin slices with his mental power and put it into the big bowl, "The chef of the palace dining room made it, try it?" ”

Before she could finish her words, Bai Xiao's slender fingers as white as snow reached into the bowl, and she took more than half of it......

Ye Qingyan looked at what was left for her, and said unexpectedly, "It's such an honor that I can still eat a bite of food from your hands." ”

"You are my apprentice, of course the master has to be good to you." What the white owl said is a matter of course.

Ye Qingyan: "...... When you drink porridge, why don't you think so. ”

"I thought it was your apprentice who was honoring the master, of course you had to eat it all to show your recognition of your cooking skills."

“…… Forget it, I won't be poor with you. Originally, I came out of the palace to find you. "Ye Qingyan ate a piece of braised beef, delicious tongue-smacking, the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, it is really good, it is by no means blown.
