Chapter 38: Secrets
It can be seen that although this courtyard was not big before, the bright red walls and green tiles told them how gorgeous the scenery used to be. The flowers and plants in the yard had long since become dead branches and leaves, the spiders had made their webs here and there as if they had set up camp here, and the only thing in the air was the disgusting smell of dust and decay.
"Very good fate, cough youth, cough cough." Before the words were finished, the man began to cough heartbreakingly, as if he wanted to cough out his internal organs.
"Anyone?" Ye Qin tentatively spoke, but this sentence made Yue Li wonder if he was stupid.
The coughing sound over there stopped for a moment, and a slightly old voice replied, "This son, don't ask knowingly." The voice was so hoarse that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female, so Ye Qin's question was equivalent to asking in vain.
"Can we come in then?" Yue Li's curiosity began to haunt her, and the experience of being a princess during this time had made her slowly relax her vigilance as an agent.
The man began to cough again, and could not even speak very sharply, "If it's out of curiosity, don't come in, don't scare you." ”
Yue Li and Ye Qin looked at each other, and after a while, the two decided not to go in, the meaning of rejection in that person's words was already on the table, and he didn't say if there would be any accidents when he went in again, and he didn't have much respect for that person.
"Who are you?" Yue Li asked, she really couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"It's okay to tell me to forget my life." Forget your life and don't say whether you are a man or a woman, "You guys cough cough cough, what, cough, you found this." ”
Ye Qin is not stupid, of course he can't tell Yue Li's identity, "I came here to escape the summer in front of the villa." ”
"Oh?" The man became interested, "This is the royal realm, you can come here either as an important minister of the court or as a relative of the emperor." ”
"Here are the guards who came with His Majesty, and when I had time, I wanted to take the palace maids with me to walk around, but I didn't want to break into Your Excellency's courtyard by mistake." Ye Qin thinks that this is not a nonsense, he was originally to accompany the king to escape the summer, and his role is not much different from that of a guard.
The man was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Go back, young man, this is not the place where you should come, and if your majesty finds out, it will inevitably be punished."
"Listen to what you mean, what else is the story of this courtyard?" Yue Li had one more mouth.
The man laughed, as rough as a crow's cry, "There are stories, but you can't listen to them, and if you do, you will be killed." He sighed as if he remembered something. Kill the head, alas, what face do I myself have to live until now. ”
Yue Li just wanted to continue asking, but Ye Qin shook his head at her, but Yue Li understood and dispelled this thought.
"Then Your Excellency, we will not disturb you, farewell." After Ye Qin finished speaking, he led Yue Li out of the door. When the man heard the two of them go out, he began to sing again, babbling, but it was a bit of a thriller.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief from the time they entered the courtyard, and only after they left could they be considered to relax.
Yue Li no longer had the leisure to wander around, his mind was full of the song just now and the identity of that person, "Lord Ye, who are you talking about that person?" ”
"I don't know about that, but I don't want us to know who he is." Ye Qin said as he and Yue Li walked back the way they came.
Curiosity is the nature of human beings, especially Yue Li, who has the soul of a modern person, Yue Li is really too interested in this person, she decided to go back to the palace and send Dark Er to find out what is going on.
When they walked back to the courtyard where Yue Li lived, it was already time for lunch, and Yue Li felt that his legs were unconscious.
After going back, I asked Panxiang to find out that he and Ye Qin had already walked for a stick of incense. At this time, the emperor sent someone to invite Yue Li to lunch, but this time the person who came was Xiaoquanzi.
Yue Li couldn't shirk it, so she could only follow Xiaoquanzi to the Vermilion Bird Pavilion where the emperor lived, and accept the disgust of Concubine Xi's mother and son.
But when she arrived at the house, there was no Concubine Xi inside, only her cute little son.
"What? Father, why didn't Concubine Xi come together. After saying that, Yue Li regretted it, and wanted to slap her ears, didn't she ask for trouble?
The emperor made a stinky face: "If I don't cultivate the relationship between father and daughter, you will be abducted." ”
Yue Lixiao's own father meant something, and stuck out his tongue, "How can there be, I still think about my father." ”
"Sulphur Moon, don't fool me." The Emperor pursed his lips in disbelief.
Yue Li sat on the emperor's side, looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and the saliva secretion in her mouth instantly increased.
The eunuch who was serving vegetables on the side grabbed a piece of chopsticks and wanted to put it in Yue Li's bowl, but she refused: "Father-in-law doesn't need it, I'll do it myself." ”
After speaking, she stretched out her chopsticks to a plate of mushrooms, and the emperor saw Yue Lijia's dish, and hurriedly introduced to his daughter, "This is the chicken fir mushroom that is only available in midsummer in the villa, it is delicious, you can taste it." ”
"Yes, indeed." Yue Li smacked her lips, but it was delicious, which was a pleasure for her who had eaten too much MSG. However, the reason of the father-daughter connection told her that her father and the emperor specially left Concubine Xi Guifei to find her.
"Father, what are you looking for me?" Yue Li said it bluntly if he had something to say, and it was completely unnecessary to go around the bend with the emperor.
The emperor patted his head, "Yes, yes, yes, indeed." After speaking, he shouted outside: "Xiaoquanzi, come in." ”
Xiao Quanzi lowered her head and walked in slowly.
"This is my personal eunuch Xiaoquanzi, I'll give it to you now."
"I have Panxiang and Wenxue by my side, I don't need eunuchs." Yue Li couldn't see Xiao Quanzi's face hidden in the shadows clearly, but she knew that this eunuch was not ugly.
"Izumiko, look up." The emperor's tone was like that of the old bustard who introduced the girl to the benefactor of the Qinglou. "Look at it, you absolutely love it."
Xiao Quanzi looked up and slowly revealed his gorgeous face.
Yue Li stopped her chopsticks, this face was simply a template for disaster to the country and the people, she was a little stunned, and even stopped chewing.
The emperor looked at his daughter's reaction with satisfaction, "Xiaoquanzi is careful and considerate, and the most important thing is that he has some hands and feet, so as not to have any accidents for you, you are about to establish a mansion, and my father is really not at ease." ”
Yue Li was still immersed in Xiao Quanzi's face, and she couldn't come back to her senses, "Huh? ”
"Look, this is specially selected for you by my father."
Sending a beautiful eunuch to his daughter, the emperor should be the only one, Yue Li will come back to his strength, and secretly complained in his heart.
"Xiaoquanzi, see His Highness." Every move, unparalleled, this kind of person seems to be a work of art, although he only wears the satin clothes of an ordinary imperial eunuch, but his every move has a touching attraction.
"Father, this person can't be a vixen." Yue Li had never seen such a delicate person since he was a child, so he couldn't help but ask.
The Emperor glanced at her, "What are you talking about?" He waved his hand to let Xiaoquanzi go down, "Although Xiaoquanzi is beautiful, you don't use the word appropriately." ”
Yue Li hurriedly waved his hand: "I just said that he was good-looking." "This kind of appearance, even if it is a superstar in modern times, it is a pity, Yue Li is a little worried, Ye Qin wants to see this little spring, and he doesn't know what the reaction will be.
