"Is there any salt?" Ye Zhaopei asked one more question.

Yun Mang obediently offered the salt in his hand and looked at her approvingly: "Now she is worthy of being the queen, and she is not even afraid of being caught by the Queen Mother and eating pheasants." After some time, Zhao Pei will definitely be able to sit on the queen mother's neck and gnaw chicken legs! ”

Ye Zhaopei glanced at him: "You are not allowed to speak ill of the Queen Mother like this." ”

Yun Mang wondered: "I remember that you didn't like the Queen Mother before, and the Queen Mother didn't like you, why is it good now, you two have released your previous suspicions?" ”

Ye Zhaopei sprinkled salt on the chicken, took a bite of tender meat, and said, "That was before, and now I have a good relationship with the Queen Mother." ”

Yun Mang said: "Then if that's the case, if you are caught by the Queen Mother today, you have to do something, right?" For example, admit your mistakes. ”

"You have to admit your mistake." Ye Zhaopei nodded.

"And you're still eating pheasant? Guts are really fat. Yun Mang stared at her.

Ye Zhaopei smiled: "There is no way, the pheasant is too delicious." ”

She took a few more bites in a row, and ate almost the pheasant until she was almost done, and then handed the pheasant back to Yun Mang: "Here." ”

Seeing that Yun Mang took the pheasant with a puzzled face, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve gracefully, wiped the corners of her mouth carefully, put the handkerchief back into her sleeve, and said to Yun Mang: "Aren't we catching pheasants together?" Of course to share. ”

Yun Mang glanced at the chicken rack in almost his hand, and then at Ye Zhaopei, who had walked away with his back to him, and sighed helplessly.

——————

Ye Zhaopei went back to the wrong garden first.

In order to admit her mistake to the Empress Dowager Zheng and show that her attitude of admitting her mistake to the Empress Dowager Zheng is real, she searched around the wrong garden, and finally found a piece of jade jade that she got when she killed the prince of Yan Kingdom.

It's the best thing she can get her hands on. The rare treasures that Jiang Zhi gave her are rare in the world, but as the queen mother of the East Corner Kingdom, those rare treasures are naturally very common. But that piece of jade jade, I heard that it came out of the mother's womb with the prince of Yan Kingdom.

This matter is incredible, and it is naturally worth cherishing. Although the fineness of jade jade is not top-notch, after all, there is such a secret story hidden in its body.

Ye Zhaopei took the jade jade and went to the Birthday Hall alone to find the Empress Dowager Zheng.

When she was outside the temple gate, Qingxing stopped her and asked, "What happened to the king?" ”

Ye Zhaopei said sincerely: "Come and admit your mistake to the Queen Mother." I shouldn't have eaten pheasant in the back garden. I was annoyed that my aunt reported to the Queen Mother. ”

After speaking, she felt that this was probably not enough, and immediately said: "Auntie, shouldn't the Queen Mother be angry with me and refuse to see me?" I won't eat pheasants anymore, and now that I'm here to admit my mistakes, can my aunt do me a favor? ”

Qingxing looked at her and couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I'll go talk to the Queen Mother." ”

With that, she turned and entered the temple. Ye Zhaopei said "Thank you, auntie", and waited obediently outside the door, and after waiting for a long time, he saw Qingxing walking out, and nodded slightly at her: "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

Ye Zhaopei's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Thank you aunt!" ”

As Qingxing entered the hall, Empress Dowager Zheng was sitting on the floor reading a book, her expression soft.

In a trance, Ye Zhaopei recalled that Empress Dowager Zheng was born in a scholarly family, was only sixteen years old when she married the first king, and could read four books and five classics.

But at that time, Empress Dowager Zheng had a pure heart, and she was inevitably bullied in the harem and suffered a lot. The first king had government affairs to do, so it was inevitable that he would neglect the harem, and he could not help the Empress Dowager Zheng at any time.

At that time, Jiang Zhi said: "The queen mother really grew up by herself. When I was very young, many ladies tried to harm me in order to protect their children, and you see, I still have a scar on my forehead, which was deliberately struck. ”

He said to Ye Zhaopei again: "The queen mother has become so bitter and mean for me and for herself." If she wants to live, she has to be like that. And such a person has been doing it for a long time, and now the queen mother has no way to change back to her original appearance. ”

At that moment, Ye Zhaopei looked at the Empress Dowager Zheng, and his heart was a little sour.

How much effort does a weak woman have to make to survive in the harem? Empress Dowager Zheng is not like her, she can knock over that person with one punch if she is offended, and no poison can kill her, but Empress Dowager Zheng is different.

Therefore, Ye Zhaopei did not salute according to the original etiquette, but knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager Zheng.

Seeing her like this, Empress Dowager Zheng was slightly stunned: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Queen Mother, I shouldn't have roasted pheasants in the back garden to eat, I was wrong." Ye Zhaopei looked serious.

"Even if you eat the pheasant wrongly, you don't have to kneel down to me, after all, you are the queen." Empress Dowager Zheng said as she glanced at the green apricot beside her.

Qingxing stepped forward and made a gesture to help Ye Zhaopei. But Ye Zhaopei stubbornly wanted to kneel, but said: "Also, Queen Mother, when I was still a 'beauty sword' and had to help the king kill people, wasn't it very unlikable to you?" ”

Empress Dowager Zheng looked at her: "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”

Ye Zhaopei said: "At that time, I was doing things for the king, and the king said that he was going to kill someone this morning, and I had to go out to kill people without eating early." Maybe I haven't had a few bites of lunch in the afternoon, and I'm going to kill another person. I'm busy, so busy, so a lot of times, I don't have time to tidy up my clothes, even if it's the scars on my body, I don't have time to take medicine. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng frowned.

Ye Zhaopei continued: "The Queen Mother likes girls who are knowledgeable, I know, and I also want me to be that kind of girl, but ...... I was kicked out of the house by my parents when I was a child, I was born in the Song Kingdom, but no one in the Song Kingdom liked me. If I hadn't met you, I'd have died by now, so I'm grateful to you, and I'm doing well in EAST. For the sake of the king, I killed people who caused chaos in the court, and I don't regret killing them. ”

After a pause, Ye Zhaopei raised his eyes to look at Empress Dowager Zheng and said, "Empress Dowager, I'm working hard to get better now, can you ...... Try to like me a little? ”

"You ......," Empress Dowager Zheng moved her lips to speak.

Afraid that she would refuse, Ye Zhaopei hurriedly said: "If you don't like it, at least don't hate me, try to accept me as your daughter-in-law, okay?" ”

Empress Dowager Zheng looked at Ye Zhaopei in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but feel soft.

She sighed, left for the stay, stepped forward, and helped Ye Zhaopei up: "You are a very good girl, I misunderstood you in the past." ”

Ye Zhaopei, who was originally ready to be rejected, heard the words of the Empress Dowager Zheng, and couldn't help but be stunned, and stood up with the support of the Empress Dowager Zheng, Ye Zhaopei looked at her with wide eyes.

Empress Dowager Zheng smiled and pulled her to sit down on the collapse together, and said, "You are now the queen, and the past is in the past, so there is no need to mention it." You don't have to kill people later. ”

Ye Zhaopei nodded, suddenly remembered something, took out a piece of jade jade from his arms, and handed it to the Empress Dowager Zheng: "This, the Empress Dowager, is for you." ”

Empress Dowager Zheng took the jade jade, a little puzzled: "What is this?" ”

"This is what the prince of Yan Guo wore back then, and it is said to be the most precious treasure in the entire Yan country," Ye Zhaopei said, "Shen Chan, the mother of the prince of Yan Guo, was very favored by Yan Guogong, and for the sake of Mrs. Shen Chan, Yan Guogong even deposed the queen and set up Shen Chan as the queen." Shen Chan only had such a son as the prince of Yan Guo in her life, and she almost died when she gave birth to him, and the Duke of Yan Guo favored his wife excessively, and he wanted to kill this son, but was stopped by Shen Chan begging bitterly. Shen Chan has done a lot for her son, and she has also cultivated her son to become a virtuous person, but Yan Guogong has no ability and can't keep the mountains and rivers. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng lowered her head and looked at the jade jade in her hand and did not speak.

Ye Zhaopei said again: "This piece of jade jade is rumored to be brought out from the mother's womb with the prince of Yan Kingdom, although the truth is unknown, but it is regarded as the national treasure of Yan Kingdom, and more importantly, this piece of jade jade is evidence that Shen Chan cherishes her son." It's like the queen mother cherishes the king. ”

Empress Dowager Zheng's heart moved slightly, and she smiled: "It is said that the jade jade was brought out from the mother's womb, but it is naturally fake." ”

Ye Zhaopei sighed: "Queen Mother, how do you know this?" ”

"That Mrs. Shenchan has had a few encounters with me," Empress Dowager Zheng said, "Back then, Yan Guogong was full of only this lady, and he didn't care about other political affairs, even if it was his own son, he didn't care about it at all." In order to make Yan Guogong treat his son better, Mrs. Shenchan thought of such a way. ”

Ye Zhaopei was a little surprised, and also looked at the jade jade.

Originally, Mrs. Shenchan still had such a kind of love for her son. When Ye Zhaopei went to kill the prince of Yanguo, he really felt that the prince of Yanguo was different from others. With such a concubine, it is natural to be different.

Empress Dowager Zheng said with a smile: "But if you have the heart, give me this, and I will accept it." However, I also have something for you. ”

"Give it to me?" Ye Zhaopei's eyes lit up.

Empress Dowager Zheng took an ebony box hidden next to the collapse and opened it, revealing a pair of white jade bracelets inside. The jade color is bright, and it is an extraordinary product. Even Ye Zhaopei, who doesn't understand treasures, can see that this is an extremely rare treasure.

She was stunned: "Queen Mother, such a precious thing, you want to give it to me?" ”

Empress Dowager Zheng took her hand, personally put on the jade bracelet for her, and said with a smile: "This was given to me by my mother when I married the first king, and now I give it to you, I hope you can get along with the king." ”

Ye Zhaopei touched the bracelet that was slightly cool to the touch, smiled at the Empress Dowager Zheng and said, "Empress Dowager, don't worry, I will definitely have a good relationship with you." ”
