Chapter Thirty-Eight: Clever Tricks (1)
As soon as Xu Zhaoyi lifted the curtain, he saw Shen Yan standing in the hall and looking around, the corners of his mouth hooked up a charming smile, walked out leisurely, rolled his sleeves, and asked, "How does the emperor think that this Feiling Hall in this palace is compared to the queen's Chengqian Palace?" ”
"Zhaoyi's palace is gorgeously furnished, and Kang He is stunned."
Shen Yan said flatly.
If the queen is a dough kneader, Xu Zhaoyi is a cunning fox, neither of them is a good match, otherwise how can the two parties have been fighting until now after many years in the palace?
"Xin'er, go and make a pot of good tea from the palace, and bring some freshly made osmanthus cake by the way."
Xu Zhaoyi listened to her perfunctory words, just smiled casually, then walked on the seat above the hall and sat down, tilting her head to look at Shen Yan with her own eyes.
Shen Yan smiled calmly at her scrutiny, approached and lifted the hem of his skirt, and sat opposite her.
This was the first time Shen Yan had taken a serious look at Xu Zhaoyi.
That night, by the moonlight, she could only see her delicate figure. Now sitting on both sides of the seat, Shen Yan found that she was extremely beautiful, with delicate facial features, delicate skin, and a pair of fox eyes under the willow eyebrows, as if there were thousands of words in the blink of an eye, which was heartwarming.
Shen Yan thought to herself, if she was a man, she would definitely fall under Xu Zhaoyi's pomegranate skirt.
It's a pity that a beautiful woman like her is prone to ups and downs in love, and when she meets the emperor, what is the fate? Did jumping into the lake that day have anything to do with the emperor?
"You must be wondering why this palace invited you to come to the Feiling Hall for tea. Actually, I don't like tea, and drinking tea is just an excuse to come to you. It's like a tryst between men and women, and the Lantern Festival is an excuse. ”
Xu Zhaoyi's red lips opened lightly, her eyes were like silk, and her words were extremely ingenious. Shen Yan couldn't help but be stunned, but he couldn't refute it.
Xiao Xing had been following behind Shen Yan, listening to such rebellious words and looking at Shen Yan, worried that his master would be taught badly.
"Your little maid is very faithful and always by your side. It's just that people who know too much have their heads tied to their belts, can you bear to let her continue to listen to us? ”
Seeing Xiaoxing's reaction, Xu Zhaoyi said to Shen Yan with a smile, with a sincere face.
Shen Yan smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth. Xu Zhaoyi in front of her is like a glamorous fox, licking her sharp claws quietly, seemingly obedient, but she will rise up and choke your neck at any time!
"Xiaoxing, Xu Zhaoyi has good tea and snacks here, you go and eat some, otherwise in the future, you won't have a chance to come."
Knowing what Shen Yan meant, Xiaoxing immediately saluted and left.
In the huge hall, only Shen Yan and Xu Zhaoyi were sitting opposite each other, quiet and terrifying. But Shen Yan still looked at her with a faint smile.
A smile is a good camouflage that can cover your hole cards and make the difference between success and failure, so as not to be noticed by your opponent. This kind of psychological warfare is about who will use the known cards more.
"You're a lot like someone I know, and he always has that smile with him." Xu Zhaoyi covered her lips and chuckled, her tactful eyes took Shen Yan's demeanor into her eyes.
Shen Yan only combed a simple bun today, the bun was not crowned with jade, slightly powdered, light red lip grease, sitting on the seat and the sun was shining on his body, and the corner of his mouth pulled a smile, which was quite soft and gentle.
"Zhaoyi's words just teasing my little maid are also like someone I know."
"Then we still have fate." Xu Zhaoyi said lazily, sitting crookedly and not in shape.
At this time, Xin'er came in with a hexagonal three-layer food box, followed by a maid holding a tea vessel.
"It's a freshly made water chestnut cake, osmanthus cake and lotus cake from the kitchen. The minister specially brought it to Zhaoyi and Emperor Ji to taste. Xin'er opened the food box and took out the pastries inside in turn and placed them on the table.
She turned around and took the teapot in the maid's hand, "This is Zhaoyi's treasured dragon well before the rain, except for the queen's mother, only Zhaoyi is the only one in the palace." ”
"She has all of this, which one is the only one."
Xu Zhaoyi interrupted Xin'er's words, her face was lazy, but there was no anger.
Xin'er understood her master, just smiled and saluted, then packed up the food box and left.
"Your Majesty is very good to Niangniang. Why, that day will ......"
When Xin'er left the hall, Shen Yan asked with a light smile.
Xu Zhaoyi's eyes were indifferent, she stretched out her danko-coated jade hand and picked up a piece of horseshoe cake, took a bite of it, and then said leisurely: "I don't remember this palace, and I don't remember the emperor even if I think about it." ”
"Since Zhaoyi thinks that Kang He doesn't remember, then Kang He doesn't remember. A few days ago, he was infected with a cold, and Zhaoyi came to visit the Qingsi Palace, but he has not yet thanked him. ”
Shen Yan raised his hand to serve the tea, blew the tea cigarette, and took a sip.
Wang Huanzhi loves Longjing before the rain very much, so she has drunk a lot of good Longjing tea, and the tea in Xu Zhaoyi's palace is not half a point worse than that of Qin Wangfu.
"This palace went to see you, just because I couldn't get used to the queen's appearance of a saint. She was obviously very uncomfortable, and her face was still calm. Bengong saw that she was living aggrieved, and if she didn't go one day, she would find a brick and hit her to death. ”
Xu Zhaoyi did not shy away from speaking without scruples, as if she knew that the phoenix screen and marigold were not things she should use.
Although the etiquette system is indispensable, she has to come against the etiquette system!
"Does Zhaoyi think that Kang He and you are in the same boat?"
Shen Yan looked at her like this, but she was a little like the person who jumped into the lake that day, and she was obsessed with madness and desperate.
"Isn't it?" Xu Zhaoyi asked directly.
Shen Yan smiled faintly, "Yesterday, the queen gave me an extremely gorgeous pearl and jade flower crown, and the maid who dresses up today will help me put it on." Come to think of it, it's what Zhaoyi meant. ”
"Why don't you think it's the queen?"
Listening to Shen Yan's questioning, Xu Zhaoyi was interested.
"Zhaoyi just said that the queen is a person who regards herself as a saint. Since she is a saint who follows the etiquette system, how could she not know that the pearl and jade crown is too gorgeous to be worn at ordinary times. ”
Shen Yan's expression was calm, looking at Xu Zhaoyi, this woman is really acting from her heart! Stop at nothing! I dug a hole for myself casually.
"Teji is smart."
Xu Zhaoyi smiled and admitted the matter.
If Shen Yan stupidly wore that pearl and jade corolla to go out, he would be regarded as a fool who didn't know the etiquette, rushed to the queen, and disgusted Xu Zhaoyi!
"I don't think I have harmed Zhaoyi, when Zhaoyi entered the palace to serve His Majesty, I was still recuperating in the Qingsi Palace, and I didn't go out once a year. Why did you design me like that? ”
The year Xu Zhaoyi entered the palace, the real Kang and Emperor Ji had already fallen, and the two would never have a grudge.
"There's no reason, this palace just wants to see if Kang and Emperor Ji have stayed in Qingsi Hall for seventeen years, and their brains are still bright. If you can't even see such a small plan, then there is no need for Hongu to invite you over for tea. ”
