Chapter 491: Wait for Ning Yunxiao to return to the palace
Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao have been out of the palace to inspect the work for more than half a month, which is not a long time, but it is not a short time.
And during the period when they were not in the palace, nothing major happened in the palace, but it was not a small thing that did not happen.
For example, the matter of Lan Jiyu.
Before Ning Yunxiao left the palace, Lan Jiyu had already told her about the contents of the letter sent by her father from the Blue Moon Country.
Although Lan Jiyu also felt that it was not good to seduce Li Yiyan, and if she were to do this kind of thing, she would not be able to do it. But the pressure put on her by her father was too great, and she had been shaken more than once.
But fortunately, Li Yiyan was not in the palace at that time, otherwise, I don't know if Lan Jiyu would do something that he regretted.
originally thought that his father was just talking about this matter, and as long as he didn't pay attention to it, his father would not force him to do it. But later, Lan Jiyu realized that she was too naΓ―ve, even if she didn't want to pay attention to it, but her father would not say a word about it because of her ignorance.
Since Lan Jiyu ignored this matter, the date on which her father sent her a letter to her family was doubled, and he would send her a letter every once in a while, and the tone in the letter was very affirmative, she must seduce Li Yiyan.
Even though Lan Jiyu had dispelled the idea of seducing Li Yiyan since listening to Ning Yunxiao's words earlier, her father said very firmly that if she didn't do it, she would not be allowed to go to the Blue Moon Kingdom for the rest of her life, and the meaning of these words was equivalent to her father and emperor wanting to sever the father-daughter relationship with her.
And not only is it as simple as severing the father-daughter relationship, her father also wants to eliminate her name from the nationality of the Blue Moon Country. In other words, if she does not do what her father said, then she will not only lose her parents, but she will also become a homeless person, and she will not even be able to set foot in that country again.
It was precisely because of his father's tough attitude that Lan Jiyu's determination had been slightly shaken. She wanted to find someone to ask what to do.
But Ning Yunxiao was not in the palace, even if she wanted to find someone to discuss countermeasures, she didn't know who to find. Because the entire palace looked around, except for the palace maids and eunuchs, who were the princesses of various countries that Li Yiyan had chosen to talk to Ning Yunxiao in the palace before, they couldn't say a few words in this palace, so Lan Jiyu would not go to them to discuss it no matter what.
During this period of time, in addition to looking at the family letter in a daze, Lan Jiyu would go to Ning Yunxiao's dormitory every day to take a walk, she wanted to see her as soon as Ning Yunxiao returned to the palace, so she specially explained to Sui Qing, as long as Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao came back, she would send someone to inform her.
But even if she had already explained to Sui Qing, Lan Jiyu was still not at ease, and she still walked around Ning Yunxiao's dormitory every day.
But every time I go with great expectations, I am disappointed every time.
"Princess." Lan Jiyu was sitting in front of the window, holding the letter that today's messenger had just delivered in her hand in a daze, and Ah Xia trotted in from outside the door, and shouted excitedly as soon as she came in.
When Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao left the palace, Lan Jiyu received a letter from her father, and she just replied with the excuse that they were not there, and she was more than capable of doing so. However, every two days, the emperor would send a letter to ask her how she was doing. No, today I ordered someone to send a letter to my family, and I was asking her when she would be able to finish this matter.
She retracted her thoughts and moved her gaze to Ah Xia who had just run in, she was about to die of annoyance in the past few days, but Ah Xia was still carefree, and Lan Jiyu's eyes hurt.
"What's the matter?" She embodied all her unhappiness in her tone.
Ah Xia could tell that Lan Jiyu was in a bad mood today, no, in fact, she had been in a bad mood since Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao left the palace not long after, and she asked Ning Yunxiao and Li Yiyan every day when they would return to the palace.
She knew that Lan Jiyu was in a bad mood at the moment, so she definitely didn't want to see her smiling appearance, so she deliberately hid her smile and sorted out her emotions before replying: "The head of Fang Cai Sui sent someone to say that if there is no accident, the emperor and the queen will return to the palace today." β
"What time is today?" As soon as she heard that Ning Yunxiao would be back today, Lan Jiyu had disappeared in an instant in the past few days, and she stood up with a posture that she was about to rush out of the room at any time.
When Lan Jiyu asked her when Ning Yunxiao would be able to come back, Ah Xia shook her head blankly: "This, Manager Sui didn't say, he only asked people to come over and say that the emperor and the queen mother will return to the palace today." β
"Let's go!" Lan Jiyu only frowned slightly, and to Ah Xia's surprise, she didn't open her mouth to scold.
If it was the usual Lan Ji Yu, she would definitely be very angry at this time, and then she would sprinkle her anger on her. So just now, Ah Xia closed her eyes, waiting for Lan Jiyu to lose her temper with her, but she only felt a fragrant breeze blowing around her, but she didn't usher in Lan Jiyu's angry scolding.
She quietly blurred her eyes into a slit with some confusion, but Lan Jiyu was no longer in front of her.
Ah Xia hurriedly turned around, only to see that Lan Jiyu had already walked to the door. Even if Ah Xia had more doubts in her heart at this time, she didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly followed Lan Jiyu's footsteps and ran out of the room.
"Where is the princess going?" After a small trot, Ah Xia caught up with Lan Jiyu.
Lan Jiyu didn't even look back, and while walking quickly, he replied coldly: "The queen's bedroom." β
"Going again?" Ah Xia didn't pay attention for a moment, and blurted out the thoughts in her heart.
Hearing this, Lan Jiyu's good-looking eyebrows frowned slightly, and the sharp-eyed Ah Xia saw this, and hurriedly changed her words: "What the slave means is that the head of Sui has already said that the queen will return to the palace today, why does the princess still go to the queen's bedroom?" β
"Naturally, I'm waiting for the queen to come back." Lan Jiyu replied as a matter of course.
Ah Xia opened her mouth and wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Lan Jiyu unhappily: "Where is my father-in-law going, do I need to report to you?" β
"The slave doesn't mean that, the slave and the slave should die, the slave ......" Seeing Lan Jiyu angry inexplicably, Ah Xia apologized incoherently.
But Lan Jiyu glanced at Ah Xia coldly, and her tone was still cold: "Enough, it's noisy." β
was drunk by Lan Jiyu, Ah Xia really didn't dare to speak anymore, and hurriedly silenced, and Nuo Nuo followed behind Lan Jiyu.
As soon as Yu'er received the news that Ning Yunxiao would return to the palace today, she arranged the hygiene and everything in Ning Yunxiao's bedroom to the rough maid to do, and she herself was not idle, she got the imperial dining room to prepare dinner, and after Ning Yunxiao and Li Yiyan came back, they could eat the prepared meal.
When she walked out of the gate of Ning Yunxiao's dormitory, she happened to see Lan Jiyu who came with Ah Xia, and she couldn't laugh or cry at Lan Jiyu's habit of going to the vicinity of Ning Yunxiao's dormitory every day these days.
The news that Ning Yunxiao is going back to the palace today, Sui Qing must have told them too, so what are they doing now?
Yu'er couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and only after Lan Jiyu and Ah Xia got closer did she ask, "Why are you here again?" β
"Do you know when the Queen Mother will be back?" Lan Jiyu asked with some eagerness.
In fact, to be honest, Yu'er is still a little unaccustomed to Lan Jiyu's gentle and virtuous attitude. After all, when she first entered the palace, she was so arrogant and domineering.
"Didn't Sui Qing tell you?" However, when Yu'er saw Lan Jiyu's attitude, even if she was dissatisfied with her in her heart, she couldn't get angry, "The emperor and the queen mother returned to the palace today." β
Lan Jiyu nodded: "I know they will come back today, but when will they come back, can you give me an accurate time?" β
"The slave doesn't know this." Yu'er was telling the truth, Sui Qing only told that Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao would come back today, and they might stop and go on the road, so no one knew the specific time except for Li Yiyan and Ning Yunxiao.
"Then, can we wait in the dormitory for the mother to come back?" Lan Jiyu glanced behind Yu'er, her eyes filled with ardent expectations.
Yu'er originally wanted to refuse, because she was going to go to the imperial dining room for a while, so she was a little uneasy about Lan Jiyu leaving Ning Yunxiao's bedroom alone.
Who made Lan Jiyu give Ning Yunxiao so much trouble before.
But looking at Lan Jiyu's pitiful appearance, Yu'er's words of refusal that were about to be uttered were stuck in her throat, and the last thing she said was: "Okay." However, I don't know when I'll be able to come back, and you might have to wait a long time to see her. β
"Thank you." Lan Jiyu bowed her head slightly and thanked Yu'er.
This thank you made Yu'er stunned again, but she didn't expect that the arrogant Princess Yu before would also say thank you to others one day. This really shocked Yu'er.
She turned away slightly, allowing Lan Jiyu to pass.
It wasn't until Lan Jiyu and Ah Xia's backs had disappeared into the gate of Ning Yunxiao's dormitory that Yu'er came back to her senses.
Is it the sun that is coming out in the west today? Yu'er glanced up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and after muttering secretly, she withdrew her gaze and continued to walk in the direction of the imperial dining room.
Lan Jiyu and A Xia entered Ning Yunxiao's dormitory, and found a place in the courtyard where there was no sun and a seat at the same time, while anxiously looking at the direction of the gate, she secretly organized her language in her heart, and after seeing Ning Yunxiao for a while, she had to say something.
Because the rough girl in Ning Yunxiao's courtyard had seen Lan Jiyu's arrogance before, she didn't dare to easily step forward to answer Lan Jiyu, for fear that if she accidentally said the wrong thing, she would be angered and thus provoke her revenge.
Seeing that Lan Jiyu had already found a place to sit down on her own, and Yu'er was not there at this time, those rough girls didn't dare to give an eviction order, so they could only make a cup of tea for her.
They waited in Ning Yunxiao's dormitory from noon to sunset, and they didn't see Ning Yunxiao return to the palace.
Lan Jiyu was not a person who was willing to wait for someone, but she had waited for Ning Yunxiao for so long.
"Princess, why don't we go back to the palace first, and let the palace maid next to the queen mother send her a message to her in a while, telling her that the princess has something to look for her, how about letting her go to the princess to see the princess?" Ah Xia has been by Lan Jiyu's side for so long, and it is the first time she has seen her wait for someone for so long.
She actually felt a little sorry for Lan Jiyu, after all, it was very uncomfortable to wait for others, and she knew it.
