Chapter 23: Temptation

Shang Zhaoyi looked at the perseverance in Si'er's eyes, and said with a smile: "Get up, go get some food, Miss Ben is dying of hunger now!" ”

Si'er looked at Shang Zhaoyi, who was in a happy mood, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth: "Slave and maid, let's go!" ”

Shang Zhaoyi couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Si'er run out of the room.

Shang Zhaoyi was just about to put on her shoes, there was a tingling pain in her feet, she lowered her head, looked at her already red and swollen ankles, and couldn't help frowning, she simply didn't put on shoes, stood up, staggered to the window with small steps, pushed open the window, looked at the vegetables she planted, and couldn't help but smile at the corners of her mouth, and muttered to herself: "Poor you are about to leave me, if not, I will not fail you, you wait for me." ”

"Miss, why are you looking at the vegetables outside in the evening? How many times have you told you that you have to pay attention to your body! It's getting late, the cold is getting stronger, and you're wearing such a thin ......."

Just when Shang Zhaoyi was looking at the vegetables he had grown with his own hands outside with a smile on his face, Si'er's complaining voice came from his ears.

As soon as Shang Zhaoyi turned his head, he saw Si'er looking at him with a face full of resentment, Shang Zhaoyi hurriedly closed the window, walked slowly to the table, sat down, and waited for Si'er to come in.

"Miss!" As soon as Si'er stepped into the room with one foot, the sound of grumbling followed.

"Si'er! Do you have anything to eat today? I'm starving to death your young lady! Shang Zhaoyi looked at Si'er, and quickly interrupted what Si'er was about to say, and stared at the food box in Si'er's hand with a pair of eyes, revealing a trace of greed.

"Hmm...... The Nine Emperors' visit to the house today seems to have played a little role, and there is still a little bit of small cake left in the kitchen today, parchment filigree, bright shrimp roast, mandal-like sandwich cake...... "Si'er put the food box on the table, looked at Shang Zhaoyi, and blinked her eyes, she seemed to have forgotten something......

"Hmm...... It's delicious! Shang Zhaoyi hurriedly opened the food box, secretly glanced at Si'er who was meditating, stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of mandal-like sandwich cake, took a bite, and his eyes smiled like the moon.

Si'er turned her head and saw Shang Zhaoyi's appearance, and she couldn't help but say, "Miss! Why don't you use chopsticks?! As soon as Si'er finished speaking, her eyes fell on Shang Zhaoyi's ankle, looking at the redness and swelling at her ankle, and said worriedly with red eyes: "The slave maid will go and ask for a doctor for you!" ”

Shang Zhaoyi pinched the cake in her hand, looked up at Si'er's anxious look, and said lightly: "Si'er! No need to call a doctor. ”

Si'er puffed out her cheeks, looked at Shang Zhaoyi, and said angrily: "You are a young lady, can't you pay attention?" Besides, the master is not in the mansion now, so what's the point of finding a doctor? ”

Shang Zhaoyi put down the cake in his hand, stood up, walked to Si'er's eyes, stretched out his oily paws and pinched Si'er's cheeks, and said with a smile: "I know!" I promise not to do it again next time, okay?! It's just that if you call the doctor now, there will be his eyeliner in the house, and when the time comes, it's hard to say. ”

Si'er looked at Shang Zhaoyi's bright eyes and sighed: "You are a young lady after all, Si'er is just a slave, what do you say, the slave just listens, you can eat quickly!" ”

Shang Zhaoyi stroked Si'er's soft hair as if comforting, and pulled Si'er to his side.

"Miss! This is a no-no! Si'er stood up in horror.

Shang Zhaoyi didn't stop her, she stretched out her hand, put the meals on the table one by one, and said with a smile: "It's just one day." Si'er heard Shang Zhaoyi's words, fell into deep thought, and then sat down silently.

Shang Zhaoyi's hands were showing off, holding chopsticks and eating elegantly, and Si'er was also eating silently, for their master and servant, this meal seemed to be difficult to swallow.

Because this meal was the most decent meal they had eaten in three years, and this ...... It's still for the sake of the face of the Nine Emperor Princes.

"Miss!" Just when the two of them were eating, Shang Zhaoyi's courtyard came from the voice of Steward Wang, Shang Zhaoyi's hand paused slightly, put down the chopsticks, picked up the handkerchief and wiped his oily mouth, and returned to his usual indifference.

Si'er stood up, put away the unfinished food on the table, put it in the food box, put it aside, stood up, and walked outside leisurely.

"The housekeeper has something to tell the eldest lady?" Si'er looked at Steward Wang with a disobedient smile in her eyes.

"It's not a big deal, the old slave just came to see if there was anything else missing from the eldest lady, and by the way, I wanted to ask why the master hadn't come back yet." Steward Wang looked at Si'er and said with a smile on his face, but a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

"There is a housekeeper of King Lao, and the eldest lady lacks nothing here. As for the master, he rushed into the emperor today, and the emperor made him kneel in Chengshan Temple, for a day and a night! Si'er bowed to Steward Wang Yingying and said jokingly with a smile.

"In this case, it is getting late, so the old slave will leave first, so as not to disturb the rest of the eldest lady." When Steward Wang heard this, he shook slightly, and then left with a smile.

"Si'er sends Steward Wang." Si'er looked at the back of the housekeeper leaving and saluted.

Si'er looked at Steward Wang's back, with a smile in her eyes, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and then turned around and entered the house.

"How?" Shang Zhaoyi looked at Si'er and asked.

"It's okay, it's just that Steward Wang is here to ask how we are doing, and ask where the master has gone." Si'er looked at Shang Zhaoyi, smiled slightly, and said.

"That's it, Si'er, help me prepare water, I want to bathe and change clothes." Shang Zhaoyi turned his head to look at the already dark sky outside and said.

"Slaves obey!" After Si'er finished speaking, she withdrew and closed the door.

……

In the Yueling Palace, the emperor looked at the beauty in front of him with a depressed face, and his face was full of grievances.

"Night! Are you getting fat now?! The beauty looked at the person in front of her, didn't mind how noble his identity was, and scolded directly.

"It's not! It's not me! Qianyue, listen to me, this time it's really Xiao Jiu's kid who is not worrying! Ye Qingran looked at Li Qianyue with tears in her eyes, and the grievances in her heart were really indescribable.

The beauty in front of her, wrapped in a pale pink dress, draped in a white gauze coat, revealing a beautiful neck and clearly visible collarbones, the pleats of the skirt are like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly to the ground, more than three feet, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk with a hairband tied up at will, the head is inserted into a butterfly hairpin, a wisp of green silk hangs on the chest, thin powder, only the color, the faint red feeling on the cheeks creates a kind of pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, It is like light and transparent ice and snow.

Qianyue looked at Ye Qingran with a pair of Danfeng eyes with anger, and said sharply with red lips: "You father and son, one is more unsound than the other, who is Shang Zhaoyi?" That's the concubine of the General's Mansion, how could she come to help the royal people wholeheartedly?! ”

"Can you two stop arguing every day, my ears are calloused." Ye Gongming stood at the entrance of the room and rubbed his ears, as long as these two meet, they will be pinched, if these two don't quarrel one day, Ye Gongming should probably wonder if the sun is going to rise in the west tomorrow.

"Xiao Mingming, come here, you tell this palace, is it your idea or this old immortal's idea?" Qianyue looked at Ye Gongming's tone softened a lot, but when he said the emperor, he directly became an old thing, and there was a hint of complaint in his tone.

"Mother, it's really my idea! Moreover, Shang Zhaoyi is a smart person, she knows what to do. Ye Gongming walked in slowly and said unruly.

Li Qianyue looked at Ye Gongming, slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but be amazed: "It's not easy, Xiao Jiu has finally opened up!" ”

"Right? Qianyue, you don't know, although Shang Mingyuan has grown up a little cold, his eldest daughter is really as beautiful as a fairy! The emperor glanced at the previous aggrieved look, walked in front of Li Qianyue in a hurry, and said as if he was meritorious.
