Outside the house, it was pouring rain, and the sound of the rain was noisy and disturbing.

The main hall is scented with roses, and the fragrance spreads.

"The rain is still endless, when is it going to fall?" Wei Manhui looked at the rain outside the window with some annoyance, as soon as she said this, she saw Tao Zhiyuan's body trembling, she quickly changed her face and said: "This palace has hated rain since she was a child, and it is very humid. ”

Tao Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Slaves and maids don't like rainy days, if they can't see the sun, the whole person's mood will sink, and they don't have the heart to do a good job." ”

At this time, Hu Ling brought a few plates of pastries up, and said with a smile: "Don't be upset, Niangniang, the slave maid specially made your favorite hibiscus cake." ”

Wei Manhui's eyes lit up, and said: "Only you know the thoughts of this palace, Qingling, I called you in a hurry in the morning, I think you didn't have breakfast, come, eat with this palace, the hibiscus cake made by Hu Ling is delicious." ”

Where does Tao Zhiyuan dare to follow, Wei Manhui is the master, even if she is of high rank, she is just a slave, she and Wei Manhui sitting at the same table already make her restless, and now she has to eat together, how can it not be in line with the rules.

"Mother, this is not in order."

"You are loyal to the palace, you are a family, what rules do you talk about." Wei Manhui didn't allow her to refuse any longer, and shoved a pair of silver chopsticks into her hand.

Tao Zhiyuan had no choice but to catch the chopsticks, and kept saying thank you to Niangniang, but she was terrified in her heart, not knowing what Wei Manhui's idea was, for fear that as long as she made a wrong step, she would end up in a situation from which she could never recover.

"Let's eat a hibiscus cake, no formality." Wei Manhui personally sandwiched a piece of hibiscus cake and put it in her eyes, with a sweet smile on her face.

Seeing Wei Manhui so enthusiastic, Tao Zhiyuan was even more shocked, since it was Wei Manhui herself, not eating it was disrespectful to Wei Manhui, she still picked up the hibiscus cake in the bowl and tasted it carefully. Hu Ling's hands are really ingenious, her designs are often rewarded by the queen, one of which is the hibiscus cake made by the Shangshi Bureau last time, which is not as delicious as Hu Ling's cooking, no wonder Wei Manhui likes it so much.

When she was about to finish eating this piece of hibiscus cake, Wei Manhui also picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, but instead of putting it in her mouth, she watched it carefully, and suddenly turned her eyes to Tao Zhiyuan's body and said, "Qingling, do you know what kind of pastry the emperor likes to eat the most?" ”

Wei Manhui coldly came out with such a sentence, which made Tao Zhiyuan suddenly startled, her mouth stopped chewing, and in Wei Manhui's emotionless gaze, she felt a cold air surging from the soles of her feet to her heart, and even her right hand holding chopsticks trembled slightly.

"The emperor also likes to eat hibiscus cakes, but his favorite is the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, so he also likes to eat osmanthus cakes the most, so Qingling, what kind of pastry do you like to eat the most?" Wei Manhui paid attention to Tao Zhiyuan's reaction and continued.

Tao Zhiyuan thought for a while, and then said: "The slave maid's favorite thing to eat is corn cake. ”

Wei Manhui smiled lightly, ate the hibiscus cake, and said: "Actually, the emperor eats hibiscus cake or corn cake, it doesn't matter if the palace eats, the most important thing is that although the corn cake is delicious, the hibiscus cake is even sweeter and delicious, and the corn cake is not as good as the hibiscus cake." ”

The rain outside the window has long since stopped, coming and going in a hurry, and the sun seems to show its trace.

Wei Manhui said so bluntly, Tao Zhiyuan naturally understood what Wei Manhui meant, Wei Manhui did not attack her, and warned gently, she knew that she still had value for Wei Manhui, but she didn't know what Wei Manhui wanted her.

"The slave knows." Tao Zhi was the first to say.

"Actually, Qingling, you are the maid yourself, if you hadn't insisted on being a palace maid, I'm afraid you would be Zhou Luying's rank now, but it's a pity, even if you are a priest now, you have to bow and kowtow to the master, do you regret it?" Wei Manhui said with a sigh with a look of pity.

Tao Zhiyuan only relieved her heart at this time, she smiled lightly, and said naturally generously: "Since the slave maid has chosen this path, she will naturally go on without hesitation, there are many things in life that are ethereal, only the slave and maid know what the slave and maid want, and also understand that the slave and maid should do things for whom is the most suitable." ”

Wei Manhui smiled softly and put down the silver chopsticks, "Qingling is a wise person, your sister is gentle and considerate, she is really a pair of sisters, your two sisters have won the heart of this palace so much, this palace will not treat you badly." ”

Tao Zhiyuan still has a guilt for Yun Qingyuan, that is, she was also involved, they all live under the sword, if one is not careful, he will die, Tao Zhiyuan will do her best to take care of Yun Qingyuan.

Tao Zhiyuan was about to answer, but heard the eunuch singing outside the palace: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Tao Zhiyuan was startled, and almost forgot to get up from the stool, Wei Manhui's face showed sincere joy, and she glanced at Tao Zhiyuan: "Just now, the palace also asked someone to invite the emperor, and the emperor came here when the emperor came over." ”

She hurriedly got up from the stool, went out with Wei Manhui to meet her, and when she saw the bright yellow figure, her heart beat extremely fast, and she didn't dare to look at him, so she knelt down to say goodbye.

Yun Yi saw that Tao Zhiyuan was also there, and he had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, he helped Wei Manhui up, and his kind voice seemed to come from the sky: "Your body is cold, and it is wet on a rainy day, so you don't have to kneel." ”

"The emperor and the emperor came to the concubines, and the concubines were already very happy, and the etiquette still had to be done." Wei Manhui's tone was gentle, and it was difficult to hide the joy on her face.

Listening to their conversation, Tao Zhiyuan felt a sour feeling in her heart, if she really became Yunyi's concubine, then she would have to endure more of this situation, I am afraid that she was not framed to death, but suffocated to death.

"Yun Si system is also here?" Yun Yi asked knowingly.

Wei Manhui looked at Yun Yi's expressionless expression, a little strange, she deliberately arranged it like this today, she wanted to see the reaction of the two of them, but now it seems that Yun Yi has no intention of her, so in the case of the hair in the crown dress, Yun Yi is protecting her, is it ...... She is the person who was installed by the Queen Mother?

"It was the concubine who saw that it was too stuffy on a rainy day, so she asked Yun Si to come over and talk." Wei Manhui explained with a smile.

Yun Yi nodded, and didn't ask any more about this matter, and talked to Wei Manhui about some interesting things, while walking towards the inner hall, leaving Tao Zhiyuan, who was still kneeling on the ground, aside.

That feeling...... Is it like a knife in the heart? knew that he was doing it for his own good, but he felt this way, and it was difficult to let go.

Gradually, she couldn't hear their voices, and she didn't know how long she knelt down, only to hear the rain falling again, dripping and clicking, just like her heart at the moment, it was raining.

Raindrops splashed, wetting her clothes, but she didn't feel cold.

"Yun Si system, Niang Niang told you to go back, if there is anything, I will call you." Hu Ling saw that she knelt for a long time and couldn't get up, and when she saw that it was time for lunch, she urged impatiently.

Tao Zhiyuan raised her head slightly, and saw Hu Ling standing in front of her, she smiled bitterly, when did she still have to be embarrassed, she knelt for so long, her legs were already numb, she barely stood up, and almost fell, but fortunately, she was not so embarrassed by holding on to the pillar next to her.
