"Rosemary?" Hu Jiayue followed Song Yao's footsteps and walked over, and saw some small blue flowers, although the appearance was beautiful, it was not so peculiar, and she couldn't see what attracted Song Yao at all.

Song Yao picked a rosemary, put it under her nose and smelled its fragrance, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

"Rosemary is a flower, but it is also a spice and medicinal herb, but rosemary is more suitable for growing in the south, and I don't want to encounter it here." Holding the petals in her mouth, the sweet aroma made Song Yao want to be greedy, but she was reluctant to waste it.

Hu Jiayue didn't understand medical science, and she was not familiar with cooking, and she had never heard of this seasoning, so she ate a petal of rosemary like Song Yao, and was also attracted by its aroma.

Seeing this, Xiaolian wanted to pick more petals, such a good aroma, it is perfect for bathing.

"Don't!" Song Yao hurriedly stopped Xiaolian's movements, looked at the flowers in Xiaolian's hand and said distressedly: "These are all silver!" Forget it, you've picked it all anyway, so pick a little less, and I'll make something delicious for you later. ”

Seeing Song Yao's painful face, Hu Jiayue covered her mouth and chuckled, when she encountered something related to eating, Song Yao was always extra attentive and concerned.

At this time, Song Yao found a new food seasoning, which is equivalent to finding another way to make money, and she is very happy.

But Helian Sheng, who was far away in the capital, was in the midst of his most annoying intrigue.

Although the emperor sent people to assassinate Heliansheng more than once, Heliansheng also knew it, but on the surface, he was a brother and a brother.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the emperor and Heliansheng were playing against each other, this chessboard was no different from the battlefield in the eyes of the emperor, but Heliansheng didn't care much, it was just perfunctory.

"Brother Nine Emperor has never liked to return to Beijing, and when you come back this time, I want to finalize your marriage. With the princess, the Nine Emperor Brothers can stay in the capital for a long time, right? The Emperor asked tentatively.

"If my brother stays in the capital, I'm afraid that someone will have trouble sleeping." Helian Sheng blurted out.

The emperor's face changed, his false smile stiffened a little, and the chess pieces in his hand never fell for a long time, "Brother Nine Emperor said that you are a legend of the Great Zhou Kingdom, if you stay in the capital, I don't know how many women in the boudoir will be in turmoil, and I can't wait outside the mansion of the Nine Emperor Brother every day, hoping to meet." ”

"The royal brother has three thousand beauties in the harem, if he has seen enough, he will make a holy decree to include all the famous ladies in the capital into the harem. I love to be free, I don't like to be bound, and no woman can bind the heart of her brother, so why harm an innocent person. Helian Sheng frowned, not liking this topic very much.

To be precise, chatting with the emperor, in Heliansheng's opinion, was not what he liked, but he had to enter the palace.

"The habit of the Nine Emperor Brothers' love of talking and laughing can't be changed, it is true that there are many concubines in my harem, and they are also accepted according to the ancestral system, if you really do what the Nine Emperor Brothers say, I don't know how many people will scold me for being a faint king." The Emperor smiled hypocritically.

"The mouth grows on others, why should the royal brother care, as long as people live happily." Helian Sheng put down a chess piece, then got up and said, "Brother Chen is tired, I will play chess with the imperial brother another day." ”

"Go, you think carefully about my words, and if there is a woman you like, I will marry you." The emperor didn't dare to make decisions for Heliansheng in private, lest Heliansheng embarrass him.

Helian Sheng didn't bother to reply to this topic that he had been talking about for many years, and walked away as soon as he gave up.

After Helian Sheng left, the emperor's face sank instantly, obviously the rhythm of the coming storm.

"A bunch of waste, so many people have been damaged, and they have not even been hurt at all, what is the use of raising you!" Sweeping the chessboard to the ground, the emperor's chest rose and fell violently, and the anger he was holding back could not be dissipated.

The eunuchs in the palace were all the emperor's henchmen, and they all lowered their heads one by one, not even daring to breathe, lest they be shot by the emperor.

"Someone came, passed on my message to the queen, and ordered her to choose one of the ladies in the capital to be Princess Rui before the Mid-Autumn Festival." The Emperor shouted.

The eunuch was busy receiving orders to deliver the decree, and when he arrived at the queen's side, he didn't have a good face.

Helian Sheng, who had just left the palace, soon received the news from the palace and couldn't help but sneer.

"Anyone is tired of living, just come and see if you can have the life to become Princess Rui." Helian Sheng squinted his eyes, and a cold glow was fleeting.

The emperor wanted to choose a concubine for the Nine Emperor Uncles, and the news spread throughout the capital with lightning speed.

Some small families were in tears, obviously they were not qualified to be concubines, and they could only watch the male god of their hearts being possessed by other women.

The famous ladies who have not been married have felt that their opportunity has come, and they desperately show their talents in various banquets, in order to spread the good name, and they are indispensable to fight and assassinate.

There are even some women who have already decided to marry and even tried to withdraw from the marriage despite the warnings of their families.

In the palace of King Rui, the noble concubine sat on the sandalwood chair with a dignified demeanor, listening to the terrifying rumors in the capital.

is already nearly fifty years old, but the appearance of the concubine is like thirty-five or sixteen years old, and it goes without saying that it is well maintained, and when she was assassinated when she was a concubine, the first emperor gave her the last life-sustaining medicine in the palace in order to save her life.

The actions of the first emperor back then attracted strong opposition from the courtiers, but because there was more than one person who assassinated Duanyugui's concubine, it involved most of the court's forces, so it could not be regarded as ignorance, and the first emperor gave such a valuable pill to Duanyugui's concubine.

"The mourning family knows that they are uneasy and kind, and they choose a concubine for Jingrui with such fanfare, which is obviously harming him and ruining his reputation!" The concubine frowned, her tone was gentle but not angry and powerful, she was not a woman who had been favored by the emperor's special room, and she was extravagant.

"Concubine Niangniang, what do you want the minions to do?" Mama Rong asked in a low voice, and sighed again: "The Ninth Master doesn't like to live in the capital forever, and I'm afraid that he will be even more reluctant to stay." ”

"The one in the palace, I'm afraid that Jing Rui will be in the capital for too long, which will affect his status, but I don't know that Jing Rui's mind is never on that cold chair, otherwise the mourning family will not give him the opportunity to take the position." Concubine Duangui sighed lowly, held her forehead and said: "It's also the mourning family who feels sorry for Jingrui, knowing the consequences of his not loving the country, or letting him live the life he wants, this kid doesn't know how much he has suffered over the years, and how many times he has been a guest to the king of Hades." ”

"Don't think about these bad things, our ninth master is favored by the first emperor, and he has the glory and wealth of the sky, where can he be assassinated." Mama Rong hurriedly poured a cup of new tea and persuaded the concubine to relax.

"My son can't help it, Jing Rui has his own ideas, and the mourning family can't control him." Duanyu Guifei took a sip of tea and said to the subordinates who came to report: "In the past few days, no matter who handed over the post, it was said that the mourning family was unwell, and the post was received by Mama Rongrong. ”

"Yes, the slave knows." The subordinate was ordered to retreat, as for the words he heard just now, he just didn't hear anything, otherwise he was afraid that his head would not be saved.

Mama Rong came behind Duanyu Guifei and loosened her muscles and bones for her, seeing that the master was worried, she was also dyed with sorrow.

Concubine Duanyu was once a legend of the harem, although she had no chance with the queen in her life, but her status was not the former queen, let alone the current queen mother.

When the first emperor was alive, Duanyu Guifei was the favorite of the special room, and there were many people in the harem who assassinated her, but no one dared to come openly, those who harmed Duanyu Guifei, even if they were not executed at that time, the final fate was miserable.

Including the current queen mother, she can be qualified to be the most noble woman in the harem, because she showed favor to the concubine and has a soft temperament, so she has the capital to laugh to the end.

Although Helian Sheng is the uncle of the Nine Emperors, he has become a unique existence in the court because of the golden gong and holy decree given by the first emperor, as well as the token of the city guard.

But the concubine has a dragon head crutch given by the emperor, as well as a mysterious holy decree, and it is said that she has the right to abolish the emperor.

And when the first emperor was dying, he handed over the dark ministry that should have been passed on to the next emperor to the concubine Duanyugui, so as to ensure the safety of their mother and son.

The last oracle of the first emperor was that the concubine could go out of the palace to live in the palace or fiefdom, so the emperor never dared to embarrass the concubine, for fear that she would take people and horses to the fiefdom, and when the time came, there would be no bargaining chips that could restrain Heliansheng, and the country would have to be handed over.

This is also the reason why Concubine Duanyu dares to speak casually in her courtyard, unless she wants the news to spread, no one outside will know a word.

"Respectfully, after the mourning family entered the palace, you were with the mourning family all the way, did you say that the mourning family did something wrong at the beginning, and should not have indulged Jingrui so much?" Concubine Duangui beckoned her hand and motioned for Mama to come forward and speak.

"The concubine is also a mother's heart, if she really detains the ninth master, the ninth master will definitely not be happy, then it must not be what the concubine wants to see, or the first emperor is not the same as the concubine Niangniang, supporting the ninth master to live the life he wants?" Mama Rong smiled.

"Alas! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, as long as Jingrui is good, the mourning family will have nothing else to ask for, let them toss, don't touch the bottom line of the mourning family, otherwise ......" Duan Wei Guifei's words were not finished, and her soft eyes became cold, and her meaning was self-evident.

Let Mama hang her head, even if she is the master's most trusted minion, there are some things that you don't know.

Helian Sheng has been living in a suburban manor for the past few days, so he doesn't feel suffocated here, and he doesn't have to be disturbed.

Everyone in the capital knows that whenever the Nine Emperor Uncles come to live in the manor, they must not be disturbed for any reason, otherwise the consequences will definitely not be borne by the person who disturbs.

In the study, Helian Sheng took the heart that Song Yao wrote to him, and I don't know how many times he read it.

"This woman, can't she say something love? I've written three letters to her for so long, but she only replied to this one, and then went back to clean her up. Helian Sheng said cruel words, but carefully folded the letter and put it in the cuff.

Zhu Xin hurriedly walked into the study, and after saluting Helian Sheng, he reported in a low voice: "Master, the lord of Suya County has taken a group of young ladies to live in Zhuangzi next door." Just now the secret guard came to report that the lord of Suya was ready to burn down the manor tonight, forcing the master to come to the rescue, so as to make a promise. ”

Hearing this, Helian Sheng frowned in disgust.

The county lord of Suya is the daughter of the eldest princess, although Helian Sheng and the eldest princess are cousins and brothers, but the rank of the county lord is still his niece, but he wants to marry him as a concubine all day long, which is simply unreasonable.
