Jin Yan was stunned, and didn't know where to start, the emperor was already pinching her chin, and raised it vigorously, "What do you mean by keeping you in Qianyuan Palace, do you really not understand, or do you not understand?" If you are so stupid that you can't even protect your own life, how can I protect you for the rest of your life? ”

The emperor's grace is always limited, and after a flash in the pan, it is only a moment of beauty, and then it is always dark. The emperor likes her now, and there is no guarantee that he will be able to like her forever.

"If you really plan to be a woman serving tea and pouring water by my side for the rest of your life, I can also fulfill you, but what about you? What a disappointment for me! ”

As a celebrity in front of the emperor, if she really doesn't have even a little means, then she doesn't deserve to stand by his side.

Emperor Jingyuan said so, Jin Yan didn't seem to understand, she didn't understand it, but she knew one thing in her heart. Now her identity is not enough to be worthy of the emperor, even if it is just serving tea and pouring water forever, the emperor may remove her at any time.

Her mind trembled suddenly, she bit her lip and slowly responded to the emperor, "The slave has written it down, the slave must work hard, and the effort will stand by the emperor's side, forever." ”

Forever is a lifetime.

"Good. I hope you do what you say. ”

Emperor Jing Yuan let go of her chin, straightened up and said, "Last time, I didn't touch you, but you also saw the result later, do you feel resentful in your heart?" ”

He didn't touch her, but made her wear his woman's hat. Everything is just an illusion, but the reality is cruel.

Jin Yan thought silently, resentful? Don't you complain?

"Slaves don't dare."

In the end, when she said such a sentence, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed again, Emperor Jingyuan looked at her fixedly, and sighed, "Don't dare, not complain." Jin Yan, you are still honest in the end, get up. ”

With a wave of his big hand, he sat at the table, slowly tasting the ginger lily tea in the cup, Jin Yan stood up from the ground, and listened to the emperor say softly, "This tea is very good, but I don't know why Chen'er didn't like it that day?" ”

After a pause, he put the teacup down again, "That's it, I'm gone." ”

The young emperor came and went like a gust of wind, flicked the sleeves of his robe and left, and the chief manager Liang hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he looked at the new female official who was at a loss with pity, in this life, when she said that she liked the emperor from the beginning, the future things were doomed.

silently accepted the tea that the emperor drank tea, she was not willing to pour it, but drank the residual tea in her mouth little by little.

What the emperor said, she didn't seem to understand, she always felt that the emperor's mind was like a fog, and she couldn't guess it.

At that time, the Lantern Festival was approaching, and the New Year's Festival, which had just passed lively, was boiling again.

This time, the Holy Lord's edict was to build a flower trellis and hang flower lanterns in Beijing. Empress Wu personally led the concubines of the harem, and also went out of the palace to see the excitement, together with the emperor's new female officials, they were also invited to go forward together.

In the past of the New Year, Jin Yan has been in the palace for seven years, this year, she is seventeen years old, which is the age of flowers and bones, but among women, she is also old.

Nalan City was ordered to patrol the streets, and where the Son of Heaven was there, he would not be missing. The concubines of the harem took the maids to the flower platform to watch the lanterns, and the emperor was majestic, and it was rare to smile and enjoy with the people.

The people below rushed to watch, squeezed their heads to meet the emperor, and the crowd was angry for a while, and the whole scene was extremely lively.

Jin Yan also stretched his neck curiously and watched beside Queen Wu, Ruyan pouted, disdainful in his heart: It's really a hillbilly, I've never even seen such a bustle, no wonder there is such a father.

"Jin Yan, if you like it, go down and have a look."

Seeing her like this, Empress Wu beckoned her over, and said with a smile, "This palace has two little eunuchs to follow you, and they have changed their clothes and go down to have fun." ”

It is rare for the queen to be so approachable, and Jin Yan is also happy. When she entered the palace in the twelfth year of Changli, she was just ten years old, and if seven years had just passed, she would have been seventeen. Since she has missed a lot of strange things in the growth of life, she didn't think much about it now that the queen is gracious, she is happy and grateful.

The queen smiled and glanced at Ruyan again, Ruyan nodded slightly, and quietly retreated.

The emperor was happily looking at the magnificent sea of lights at this time, and he didn't notice this, but it was a cold war in charge of Liang, and he felt bad in his heart.

"Girl, shall we go over there?"

After getting off the high platform and changing into the clothes of the common people, Jin Yan took the two little eunuchs and ran towards the most crowded ice lantern field.

There are so many things in my heart these days that it is rare to breathe a sigh of relief now, and I feel extremely happy.

The carving of the ice lantern is very laborious, but once the carving is successful, it is crystal clear and vivid, and it is an indescribable charm.

"Boss, is this ice lantern for sale?"

Jin Yan happily squeezed to the front and said, his eyes were as clear as a child who didn't know the facts, and the boss smiled and said, "Sell, little girl, if you like it, it's ten big dollars for a lamp, this price is not expensive." ”

Whoever sells and sells has a good mouth.

Jin Yan hummed, spent money to buy it, suddenly touched his pocket and was a little stunned, and said with a pale face, "Old ...... Boss, I forgot the silver, you see, can I exchange this hairpin for it? ”

While talking, he quickly untied the rough silver hairpin on his head and handed it to the boss. In a trance, the two little eunuchs who had been following behind him didn't know where they went, Jin Yan just looked at a particularly beautiful rabbit ice lantern, she liked it, and she really wanted to buy it.

"Swap ...... Yes, you can. ”

The boss took a closer look at Jinyan's dress, he didn't look like a poor and sour person, but he had no money in his pocket, and the workmanship of this hairpin was rough. ”

One hand lifted the beautiful rabbit lamp and handed it over, and the other hand took the silver in her hand, Jinyan thanked happily, she gave all the valuable jewelry on her body to her mother on Chinese New Year's Eve, and now this shoddy piece is the only thing worth a little money on her.

If you take it out and exchange it for money, it's just a few big bucks.

The boss was kind enough to change the lamp, Jin Yan thanked him again and again, and as soon as he turned around, a big hand like a pu fan reached over and patted the rabbit lamp in her hand and said, "What a poor ghost sour sister, you dare to lie to Lao Tzu!" Keeping shouting that he has no money, he still dares to come here to buy lights? Little lady, I think you are tired and crooked? The thin skin and tender meat look so good, why don't you go back with Lao Tzu and be a twelve-room aunt's wife, and Lao Tzu will write off the money your brother owes? ”

Sure enough, the world is big, and there are some kind of people.

At the feet of such a Son of Heaven, when he is happy with the people, he can actually meet this kind of person?

Jin Yan frowned, and looked at the rabbit ice lamp he fell to the ground with some distress, which had broken into several petals.

The lamp cracked, her heart also cracked, this was the first time she spent money to buy a favorite gift for herself, if, it also became a luxury.

"Who are you? Is there still a royal law at the feet of the Son of Heaven? ”

The little face slowly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I don't understand what you're talking about, if you know each other, get out of the way." ”

She doesn't know why she has been in the palace for seven years, and her current appearance is still known, just because this person can say that her brother owes gambling debts and has not paid them, she has already figured out in an instant, this person will not let her go easily.

was anxious, but his face was silent, and the boss who sold the ice lantern behind him was too frightened to say anything when he saw this situation. After Jin Yan finished speaking, she raised her feet and wanted to leave, but the person in front of her stopped her with a smile, and reached out to touch her face, laughing and said, "The little lady has a good temper, but it doesn't matter, Lao Tzu doesn't care." Come on, follow Lao Tzu, eat fragrant and drink spicy, it's always better than you serving people everywhere, right? ”

The big hand stretched out, and just about to touch her face, her face changed, and she subconsciously retreated, and the man didn't touch her, so he was a little angry, "Give a shameless slut." Touch you to look up to you, come over to me! ”

stretched out his hand fiercely, trying to hold her, but at the moment when his fingers were about to touch the placket of Jin Yan's clothes, a cold horsewhip hit him hard with a "snap".

The man cried out in pain, and immediately retracted his hand, and Nalan Cheng appeared in front of her in cold clothes, like a god descending.

First raised his eyes to look at her, and after seeing that she was unharmed, he turned to the bold gambler, and shouted, "The lord in front of the emperor, you also dare to move?" Come! Take him down and set an example! ”

As soon as the words fell, the guards on the left and right immediately pounced, staked the gambler who was crying and grabbing the ground, and blocked a stinky rag in his mouth, and sent it aside without mentioning it first.

Jin Yan stood in front of the broken ice lamp with a calm face, a chill in her bones bubbled out, and she suddenly remembered what Qingzhi had said to her: Do it yourself.

Good for yourself, good for yourself.

Scold!

It's really a good sentence!

His eyes instantly became condensed, and his gaze slowly looked at Nalan City, and he also looked so indifferent and detached, "Jinyan, thank you for saving me." ”

After the words fell, she bowed her head and went out, squeezing the crowd and walking up the high stands, just as the flow of people was crowded again at this moment, Nalan Cheng followed her figure, and ordered two guards to step forward and escort her back.

After a while, he asked the boss of Bing Lantern about the cause and effect of the incident, and the boss said it truthfully, Nalan Cheng was silent for a while, thanked him and left, and the boss was really surprised.

I thought it was a noble girl, but it turned out to be a female official next to the emperor, and she looked really good-looking.

At that time, the crowd was rioting, some people were shouting, on the stands, the emperor and queen were holding each other, like a pearl and jade, very affectionate, Ruyan also looked at it excitedly, and suddenly pointed to the corner of the glass under the ice lamp in the distance, and exclaimed in a low voice, "Niangniang, look, isn't that a female official?" ”

The emperor and queen followed the sound and looked, and it happened that Nalan City was protecting Jinyan to relieve her from the siege, the queen's face was surprised, the emperor seemed to be smiling, and the coldness gradually flooded.
