Luo Yu and Luo Xia brought the teapot, first poured a cup of hot tea for the emperor, and then poured a full cup of tea for Yao Chuxi.

Luoshuang took two plates of snacks and put them on the table.

Yao Chuxi looked down.

One plate is soft and delicious glutinous rice cakes, and the other is slightly crispy sesame roast.

The emperor knew that she was hesitating, and picked up a piece of glutinous rice cake and gave it to her.

"Concubine Xie Emperor."

The emperor didn't say anything, first took a sip of tea, and then tasted sesame branding, "I like to eat this." ”

"The concubines like it too." Yao Chuxi smiled stupidly, and the emperor couldn't help but touch her face.

This pure-minded person really made the emperor reluctant to say anything to her.

Last night, Pan Zhenan told him that after the abolition, he tore the white silk, said that he would die without saying anything, and tossed until dark, and then a little eunuch poured her a pot of poisonous wine, which killed her.

The emperor didn't feel any regret or reluctance when he heard this, nor did he feel happy and relaxed, let alone get any pleasure after revenge.

In the final analysis, she is also Yun Cheng's mother, and when she died, it can be said that the blow to Yun Cheng was very big.

After taking care of the Chen family, the court was quiet for a while, but the emperor didn't dare to think about what kind of turbulent waves were hidden under this calm and calm.

He has been sitting on this dragon chair for many years, and it is only now that he really understands the difficulties of an emperor and the warmth and warmth of the former harem.

The Chen family, which had been glorious for so many years, declined overnight, and none of the close friends and henchmen of the DPRK and China spoke out, and they all hid far away, for fear that something would involve them.

And the queen who has been in charge of the six palaces for so many years also said that she was imprisoned when she was imprisoned, and she was still resentful until she died, and even had to be poisoned by others before she died.

The emperor knew in his heart that even if someone came to intercede, he would not listen, and would even anger them, but he felt sad for the cold state of the world.

Looking at the woman in front of him, the emperor couldn't help but reach out and stroke her face.

Yao Chuxi's face was tender and smooth, like a freshly shelled egg, as if the past seventeen years had not left any traces on her face.

Seeing that her face was slightly red, the emperor's heart seemed to crash into a piece of softness.

He decided to protect her.

After a while, the luggage of Han Shang Palace in the west hall was also packed, and he went to the east hall to report to the emperor.

"It's good if you feel comfortable, after all, it's you who live, not me." The emperor paused, and said, "This time you are the benefactor of Yao Cairen, and you have accompanied the Queen Mother for many years, and you have contributed a lot, I don't want to treat you badly, what do you want?" ”

Han Shanggong replied, "The slave maid just wants to serve the little master at the moment, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything else." ”

The emperor turned his head to look at Yao Chuxi, "You have been this talent for more than two years, should you be promoted?" ”

The hearts of several people on the side were in their throats, especially when it rained, so they almost persuaded their masters.

"The concubines don't dare to have other ideas, all the emperor's ideas are."

The emperor nodded sullenly.

After sitting for a while, the emperor returned to the Taihe Palace.

Yao Chuxi and the others thought that the emperor was talking about fun, so they didn't take it seriously.

There is no play in the emperor's words, even if it is a casual sentence, he must do it.

What's more, the emperor has been planning this matter for a long time.

Except for Han Shanggong, no one took this matter to heart.

The next day, Pan Zhenan came with a holy decree, saying that by the emperor's will, Yao Cai was promoted to Yao Meiren.

Yao Chuxi was stunned for a while, but Han Shanggong reminded him, "Little master, thank you." ”

Reacting to this, she quickly knelt on the floor, and the rest of the room knelt down with her.

Pan Zhenan took two steps forward, "Little master, please get up, the emperor is worried about your foot injury and won't let you kneel often." ”

"Receiving the emperor's holy order, it should be like this, you can't mess up the etiquette because of a foot injury." Yao Chuxi replied.

"Since the little master insists on this, the slave is not easy to say, but you must cherish your own body, kneeling often is not good for wounds, if you have a good one, the emperor is also worried, right?"

Yao Chuxi nodded, and slowly kowtowed, "Concubine Xie Emperor Longen." ”

Luo Yu stood up first and helped Yao Chuxi to stand up.

"The emperor was originally thinking about promoting the junior master a few days later, after all, tomorrow is the day of the Chen family's execution."

"Well, I understand." Yao Chuxi said.

"But the emperor is worried that your grade is not high, and you are more likely to be impacted, and he also wants you to live more comfortably in the back garden, so he hurriedly called the minions to come."

"My father-in-law thanked the emperor for me."

"It's nature." Pan Zhenan smiled and said, "If you lack anything or lack anything, or where you live is not satisfied, even mention it to the minion, this is also what the emperor meant." After Pan Zhenan said this, he seemed to remember something, "By the way, the garden in the yard these days may be a little noisy, the slave has already instructed them to suppress the sound, if you are noisy, don't hold back, just teach them a lesson." ”

"Father-in-law has worked hard, it rains." Yao Chuxi turned around to look at the falling rain, and the falling rain walked over with two quick steps.

"Father-in-law Pan, this is a piece of the beauty's heart, and thank you for your dedication to the beauty, you must accept it." Luo Yu said and handed a purse to Pan Zhenan.

Pan Zhenan took the purse with a smile, nodded and left Yingxue Pavilion.

"Master, how much did Yao Meiren reward this time?" Duan Kui asked.

Pan Zhenan nodded the heavy purse in his hand as he walked, "A bag of golden beans, how much do you say you have rewarded?" ”

"It's not for nothing to be favored." Duan Kui said sincerely.

I remember the first time Yao Chuxi rewarded Duan Kui, all the rewards were broken silver, where is the current golden bean? Where can it be compared to this bag of golden beans?

Pan Zhenan took out a few golden beans from his purse and threw them to Duan Kui, and then put the rest of the purse into his sleeve, "Go back and close your mouth." ”

"Master, the little one doesn't understand." Duan Kui asked: "Usually, don't the concubines' rewards have to be handed over to the emperor first?" How about this time? ”

"You know what?" Duan Kui turned his head to look at him, and nodded at him twice, "This is the old rivers and lakes, Yao Meiren clearly said that she was rewarding me, and the emperor can still blame Yao Meiren if he knows it?" ”

"Isn't the usual tip for you?"

"How did you become stupid?" Pan Zhenan asked: "Did you know Yao Meiren's temperament before?" Do you know what she's rewarding me for? What can you be sure of if you don't touch it for a long time? ”

"Little one understands." Duan Kui lowered his head and said.

Indeed, in the past, it was likely that they were rewarded to appease Pan Zhenan or earn favor in front of the emperor, but Yao Meiren is different.

What kind of favor does she have to earn now?

"Don't worry, if I don't say it, Yao Meiren can't take the initiative to tell the emperor."

As soon as Pan Zhen'an finished speaking, he met several eunuchs from the inner palace who came to give gifts.

The promotion of talented people to beauties should be rewarded, and the emperor was worried about rewarding some, so he arranged for the inner palace eunuch to send it together.

"What's there?" Pan Zhenan asked.

"Back to Pan's father-in-law, there are two pieces of gold, two pieces of jade, two pearl necklaces, twelve pieces of cloth, two pairs of bracelets, two pairs of earrings, and a pearl hairpin inlaid with precious stones."

"Got it, go ahead, and be careful!"

"I know Grandpa Pan."

After a few people left, Pan Zhenan said to himself, "It's not extravagant." ”

"Master, what did you say?" Duan Kui didn't hear too clearly, so he asked deliberately.

"I said, the emperor is not too extravagant this time, and he should be rewarded according to Yao Meiren's idea."

The Chen family will be executed tomorrow, and Yao Chuxi can't sleep at this time.

She lay on the bed tossing and turning, and simply sat up.

"Little master, have you slept?" Han Shanggong's voice sounded softly outside the door.

"No, come in."

Han Shanggong pushed open the door of the inner room and walked in, and the falling snow outside the door closed the door from the outside.

"The slave guessed that you hadn't slept, so she wanted to talk to you."

"You sit." Yao Chuxi vacated the position on the edge of the bed, and Han Shanggong was not polite to her.

"The Chen family has harmed so many people, they know it in the dark, and this time they can finally go with confidence."

"What do you mean?" Yao Chuxi asked.

She had heard the emperor mention the matter of Han Shanggong and the Queen Mother, but she never asked.

"The little lord knows it in his heart, doesn't he?"

Yao Chuxi was stunned and gently touched his lower abdomen, "Yes, they can all go with confidence." ”

"When the slave maid used to serve the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother only believed in two people." Han Shanggong said while glancing at Yao Chuxi, "It's the slave maid and the high father-in-law." ”

"Father-in-law Gao?"

"Well, he's a nice guy." When Han Shanggong mentioned him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved upward.

"Do you have him in your heart?"

Han Shanggong looked into Yao Chuxi's eyes and nodded.

There was silence in the room for a while.

"I can tell that Grandpa Gao is a very good person, and he will thank you for his knowledge."

"Of course, I will also thank you, little master."

The two didn't talk for a while, and Han Shanggong left the back room.

After this conversation, Yao Chuxi slept well.

She dreamed of a kind old woman, touched her hand with a smile, opened her mouth as if to say something, but could not say anything, and then kept looking at her and laughing.

This old woman is the Queen Mother? Yao Chuxi has been thinking about it since he woke up.

She suddenly forgot what the person in her dream looked like.

Like Han Shang Palace? Dowager? Or... Her mother?

"Little master, are you awake?" The sound of falling frost came from outside the door, disrupting Yao Chuxi's thoughts.

"Wake up, come in."

"It's cold today, little master, you need to wear some more."

"Jiang Liu, have you made their gloves? It's easy to get frostbite on your hands when it's cold. Yao Chuxi put on his shoes as he spoke.

"It's been done a long time ago, the slave maid and Luoxia stayed up for half a night last night to make it, and let Sister Luoyu send it to them this morning."

Luoshuang deliberately spoke faster when he mentioned Luoxia and Jiang Liu, as if he was worried that the master would hear it wrong.

She really thought too much, Yao Chuxi didn't think about these two people together at all.
