The next day, Scarlet Smoke woke up leisurely from her sleep, looking at the early sky on the horizon, she turned over, just about to sleep back, but heard a burst of rapid footsteps from far and near, and couldn't help frowning, so early, how could someone walk around the Prime Minister's Mansion so loudly?

However, after a while, the door of her room was pushed open, Scarlet was stunned, and she sat up, and the person who came was her personal maid Xiangling. Although Xiangling is lively by nature, she is a girl who knows how to measure, and now she is so anxious, is what happened?

When she entered the house, she saw that the young lady was woken up by her own actions, Xiangling fell down without thinking, and said breathlessly, "Xiao...... Miss, the slave damn disturbed Miss's ......"

Scarlet pursed her lips, her voice a little hoarse, "It's okay, get up, you walked around the house so early, but what happened?" ”

Seeing that her young lady was not annoyed by her recklessness, Xiangling stood up from the ground, her eyes full of worry, "Miss Hui, the slave maid listened to the housekeeper's grandmother, and the old man looked uncertain when he came back last night, and this morning he even said that when the young lady woke up, let me call you to question." ”

Scarlet Yan was stunned when she heard this, her father has always spoiled her the most, let alone reprimanded, and he has never even spoken loudly to her. In her opinion, there is no one in this world who can treat her as well as her father. But now Xiangling said that his father called him to question? Did something happen?

After Xiangling said this, Scarlet Yan no longer felt sleepy, so she simply lifted the thin quilt with her hand, stepped out of bed, and asked Xiangling to help her freshen up and walk to the front hall.

In the early morning, the Xiangfu was as quiet as a sleeping beast, except for a few servants who prepared meals and clothes from time to time shuttling between several rooms, and the pace under their feet was fast but extremely light, for fear of waking up the people who were still asleep. Scarlet Smoke took Xiangling and was silent, and when she saw the people coming and going, she exempted them from saluting and went straight to the front hall.

When he saw his father sitting in the front hall with his fists clenched and his face gloomy, Scarlet Yan immediately saluted and said softly, "Yan'er greets my father." ”

Scarlet looked at his daughter, who was outstanding-looking and well-built, and had mixed feelings in his heart. Previously, King Xinling and the crown prince expressed their love for their daughter at the same time, which was enough to surprise him, but now he actually heard from the steward that not long ago, His Royal Highness the Fifth had also visited the Prime Minister's Mansion under the leadership of the eldest lady. Although Scarlet Hua is proud of his daughter's excellence, as a father, he only hopes that his daughter can live happily in the future, instead of being trapped in this mess of flowers and losing her eyes. Combined with the news that Concubine Shu summoned Yan'er from the palace yesterday, Scarlet Hua didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Scarlet's complicated expression made Scarlet Smoke a little surprised for a while, what's wrong with her father? She walked forward quickly, knelt down beside Scarlet's knee, and asked with a puzzled face, "The child heard that his father had something to say to Yan'er, but he didn't know what happened, and asked his father to tell Yan'er carefully." If Yan'er does something wrong and makes his father unhappy, Yan'er will change! ”

Looking at her daughter's well-behaved appearance, Scarlet Hua thought of her lost beloved wife, sighed, and said, "Let me ask you, did a noble person come to the house not long ago?" ”

Scarlet Smoke was stunned when he heard this, nobleman? Does it refer to the Five Princes? Then she nodded slightly.

The scarlet minister reached out and patted the back of his daughter's hand, and asked in a deep voice, "This fifth highness is a figure who sees the head and the end of the dragon, how can you have anything to do with him?" ”

I didn't expect my father to attach so much importance to this matter, Scarlet Yan weighed his words for a while, and said slowly, "That day, Yan'er was invited to participate in the queen's flower-viewing banquet, and accidentally mentioned a poem to the painting of the Fifth Highness, which actually entered the eyes of the princess and His Royal Highness, so I met like this." After that, he glanced at the scarlet face with some grievances, "If my father doesn't allow Yan'er to associate with them, Yan'er doesn't come and go, and my father shouldn't be angry that Yan'er secretly concealed His Royal Highness's visit." Smoke is wrong......"

Hearing this, the scarlet minister nodded, and then shook his head, "It's not your father's fault for this. It's just that...... The people who have been in contact with Yan'er recently are all Yiqun talents, and my father is afraid that you will be dazzled and mistakenly entrust your life to the wrong person. ”

Looking at her daughter's surprised look, Scarlet reached out and rubbed the top of her daughter's soft hair, the look on her face suddenly became distant, and her voice was full of yearning, "I think back then, your mother was also a talented lady, and the aspiring talents who came to the door almost broke her door." As a father, he was only a third-grade official at that time, and he couldn't compare with those sons. ”

Over the years, although Scarlet Smoke knew that her father and mother were very affectionate, and her mother's early death made her father fall into lovesickness from time to time, and she never even accepted an aunt, but she rarely heard her father talk to her about her mother so innocently. Now such a scene made her a little curious, "Then how did the mother choose the father?" ”

When the scarlet heard her inquiry, a chic smile appeared on his face, as if he had returned to his youth for a while, and said slowly, "At that time, my father found out the location of your mother's boudoir in the house, and then held the poem and book every morning, and read it outside the wall, and persisted for fifty days in a row. ”

It's a few simple words, but how many ups and downs have been experienced in it, Scarlet Smoke can't imagine, but he suddenly feels a little envious. Thinking of the previous life, she fell into the trap of Wei Xian and Scarlet Moon, spent a lot of time for a treacherous and unintentional person, and even lost her life, and in this life, she started again, but because of revenge, she gambled half of her life on another person who can be said to be quite strange, Scarlet Smoke suddenly felt a little pain in her heart, although she did not regret it, she did not regret every decision she made again, but after listening to her father's words, she had a yearning for coarse tea and light rice and a plain life. If she could, she wanted to live such a simple and carefree life away from this court, far away from the downtown area, and a person she truly loved.

Scarlet gradually came back to his senses from his memories, looked at his daughter lovingly, and said in a deep voice, "My father doesn't want you to be in a high position, I just hope that you can choose a man who treats you sincerely and lives a happy life." ”

Looking at her father's somewhat wet eyes, Scarlet Yan's heart moved, but she forcibly suppressed the feeling that made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and said loudly, "Yan'er knows, father rest assured." In this life, she will not let her years be wasted on unworthy people, and she will definitely make those who have failed her pay a great price.

Hearing his daughter's assurance, the scarlet minister nodded with relief, and then seemed to remember something again, with a look of affection on his face, and said, "I heard that you were called and entered the harem?" ”

Scarlet Smoke nodded and confessed, "Yes." His Royal Highness Fifth came to visit the house that day, and saw that Yan'er had a lot of research on medical skills, saying that Shufei Niangniang was unwell and wanted to recommend her daughter to go to check the pulse of Shufei Niangniang. But her daughter's shallow medical skills did not diagnose anything, and she happened to meet the eldest lady in Yin Shangshu's mansion in the palace, and came back together. ”

"Well......" Hearing this, a strange profundity suddenly appeared in the eyes of the scarlet minister, and he said slowly, "I heard that my father heard that yesterday night, the emperor had just set up the Funing Palace, but he received the news that Concubine Shu and Concubine De were both sick, and directly Xuan Taiyi turned his head and went to the second concubine's house. It was said that the second concubine's illness came from a strange situation, and it was involved in a repeatedly unclear relationship with southern Xinjiang, so he also drove a talented person who had just entered the palace out of the palace, and even convicted the queen of dereliction of duty in charge of the harem, and punished him for copying the "Women's Classic" a hundred times. ”

I didn't want this second concubine Shude to move so fast, Scarlet Yan laughed secretly in her heart. The women of the harem are like this, once they have someone else's handle, they have to think of ways to use them to find something for themselves. The two of them made the queen suffer a dumb loss by such an accident, and they also had a lot of means. But in other words, if it weren't for him, in a few days, the level of this harem would be redivided. Honor and disgrace are only in a thought, this is the sorrow of the harem woman.

Although thinking like this, Scarlet Yan's face showed a look of annoyance, and he lowered his head and said in a somewhat low voice, "It's all Yan'er's bad, if Yan'er's medical attainments are deeper, he will definitely be able to diagnose the physical abnormalities for the second concubine in advance......"

Hearing this, the scarlet minister laughed, "How can this be blamed on Yan'er, it's good if you can't diagnose it." It shows that Yan'er still has a lot to learn, and Yan'er can't relax. ”

Is it okay if you can't get diagnosed? Listening to the crooked reasoning in the scarlet minister's mouth, Scarlet Yan shook his head secretly, sure enough, the people who have been in the court for a long time have a set of crooked reasoning.

Seeing that Scarlet Smoke was still bowing her head, Scarlet thought that her daughter was still blaming herself, so she reached out to hold up her daughter's face, showed a loving smile on her face, and said softly, "Yan'er, I don't want to do this." Let's eat with my father, seeing that your face is pale these days, my father specially asked my grandmother to make a few dishes for you to make up. I've been talking about it for so long, and I'm hungry. ”

Scarlet Yan glanced at her father with disgust, and then her face softened, and she said coquettishly, "Father just remembered that Yan'er almost thought that his father was angry, and Yan'er was not allowed to have breakfast." ”

"How can it be, come here, eat." The scarlet minister laughed, came to the table with the scarlet cigarette, and the father and daughter ate together.

What they didn't know, however, was that the previous conversation had been listened to by another person word for word. Scarlet Smoke also has a relationship with the Five Princes? Scarlet Moon hid in the corner, almost going crazy with jealousy. First the crown prince, King Xinling, and even the five princes were fascinated by this slut? Scarlet Moon ravaged the handkerchief in her hand, and there was ruthlessness in her beautiful eyes, she looked at the scarlet father and daughter who were talking and laughing while eating, and then sneered, anyway, it is the person who will fall off the horse, let more people see your miserable image, Scarlet Smoke, let's see!
