Jinxiu listened to Chu Yan's words and said, "The Queen Mother's words, I guess Niangniang also heard them very clearly. Naturally, the slave and maid can't help with this. ”

Chu Yan begged, "The Queen Mother said this, it's because she doesn't want to be biased, I can actually understand this." After all, the other two are also very prominent identities. But Aunt Jinxiu, you can teach me well. I often enter the palace, and I have always regarded you as an elder, Aunt Jinxiu......"

Seeing that Chu Yan was coquettish, Jinxiu was also a little overwhelmed, and said, "Niangniang, this is embarrassing the slave!" ”

Chu Yan saw that there was a drama and said, "Aunt Jinxiu, just tell me." I promise not to say anything to anyone, especially the Queen Mother here. For the sake of my infatuation with the emperor, don't hesitate Aunt Jinxiu. ”

Jinxiu showed an embarrassed expression and said, "It's okay to talk to you, but if the solution can't be done, the slave and maid can't say for sure." ”

"Whether it will succeed or not is my problem, and it has absolutely nothing to do with my aunt."

Jinxiu thought for a while and said, "Actually, the emperor has grown up under the watchful eye of the slave since he was a child, and the slave and maid know best that the emperor is a person who values love and righteousness." Now the emperor and the queen have a good relationship, also because the emperor has married the queen. With this responsibility, the emperor will naturally not be sorry for the queen. ”

Chu Yan said, "I've thought of this too, but I just can't let the emperor stay with me." That's where I'm struggling. ”

Jinxiu said, "Yan Guiren is really kind-hearted. You don't think you're inferior to the queen in terms of your appearance and talent, but why does the emperor treat the queen differently? What's more, the relationship between the noble people and the emperor should be deeper! ”

Chu Yan was also very puzzled, "That's it, I haven't been able to figure it out." Isn't it that the queen used some kind of fox tricks? ”

Jinxiu immediately shushed and said, "Don't say more after hearing these rumors. ”

Chu Yan's eyes widened, and she said strangely, "I just said it casually, is this true?" ”

Jinxiu said, "No one knows whether this kind of thing is true or false, but everything is not groundless, it depends on what the mother thinks?" ”

Chu Yan said, "Did the queen really do this?" Doesn't our dynasty have a clear rule that the concubines in the palace are not allowed to use these means to seduce the emperor? Queen, how dare she ......"

"It's just a rumor, and if there is no conclusive evidence, who would dare to say that the queen did this? What's more, now that the queen has a close relationship with the emperor, isn't it worth the risk? ”

Chu Yan was thoughtful, still thinking about whether this matter was really Mingxiang?

Jinxiu said, "The slave maid still has to go to the imperial dining room, so she can only retire first." Niangniang, the slave didn't give Niangniang any ideas, and Niangniang must not act rashly! ”

"I know, Aunt Jinxiu, you go and get busy."

Watching Jinxiu leave, Chu Yan was in a very happy mood, and always felt that it was another village with bright flowers and saw her hope.

In the evening, Chu Yan ordered the palace maid Peony next to her to go to the Zihua Palace. Jiang Yuan learned that it was Chu Yan who was looking for her, so he passed on the news to Peony.

"The slave and maid knock to see the emperor."

"Get up, but Yan, Yan is looking for me?"

Peony nodded and said, "Back to the emperor, Niangniang hopes that you can go and see her in the evening." Niangniang specially made the emperor's favorite snacks, and invited the emperor to appreciate it. ”

In order to avoid Jiang Yuan's refusal, Peony added another sentence according to Chu Yan's instructions, "Niangniang said that she would not delay the emperor for a long time, knowing that the emperor was busy, she just chatted with the emperor for a while, and then let the emperor come back." ”

Jiang Yuan has always felt a little guilty about Chu Yan, after all, she has always treated Chu Yan as her little sister, and she never wants to waste her youth. Chu Yan's temperament Jiang Yuan still understands, and he must be thinking about himself, so he said this. Since this is the case, Jiang Yuan agreed, and said, "I'll go over in a while." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. The slave and maid hurriedly told the mother the good news. ”

"Okay."

Seeing Peony leave happily, Gao Defu quipped, "Your Majesty, the concubines in this harem are all pointing to see the emperor, and they will do everything they can, the emperor is so blessed!" ”

Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Gao Defu, did you send the bones?" Is this kind of thing a joke about me? You think it's a blessing, you go, I really have a headache. ”

Gao Defu replied, "The emperor has tormented the slaves. This minion is the same as the emperor, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength! ”

Jiang Yuan thought about it slightly, and then blushed. Although it has long been accustomed to eunuchs serving by her side, after thinking about it deeply, her girl's family is still a little unbearable.

Gao Defu also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "The old slave doesn't choose what to say, and asks the emperor for forgiveness." ”

"Out of the way." Jiang Yuan got up and stretched, and said, "I will take a walk slowly, let's go to the noble lady." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Not long after, Jiang Yuan arrived at Chu Yan's dormitory. The minions inside seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and they all hurried out. Jiang Yuan stepped in and saw that Chu Yan seemed to be deliberately dressing up.

This woman wears makeup, both men and women will look at it, and the man will suddenly feel different, and his eyes will light up. Women will also feel different, but they will think carefully about what is different and whether there is something desirable about it.

Jiang Yuan is essentially a girl's family, and every time she sees a concubine dressing herself, she is very envious in her heart. I think I look good, but I can't comb all kinds of hairstyles, wear all kinds of hairpins, and wear all kinds of beautiful clothes.

"Sister Yan seems to be a little different today, this flowing cloud bun looks very chic, and the tail of her eyebrows is also very well groomed, this is Sister Yan's new learning?"

Jiang Yuan immediately showed an appreciative look.

Chu Yan was overjoyed, thinking that she had been liked by Jiang Yuan like this, so she said, "The concubine specially learned it, and many young ladies in the imperial capital are dressed like this. It seems that the emperor likes concubines like this. As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Yuan shyly.

Jiang Yuan had no other intention in her heart, pure appreciation, she nodded and said, "I like it, I think it's very good-looking, you can continue to do this next time." ”

"As long as the emperor likes it. The emperor please sit down, the concubine is not as good as Sister Su, in fact, she has learned a lot of things with her mother at home, knowing that the emperor likes to eat pineapple cakes, and the concubine learned from her mother early, but she has never had the opportunity to show it to the emperor. The emperor tasted it, did it taste good? ”

Jiang Yuan sat down and took a piece of pineapple cake handed over by Chu Yan.

Jiang Yuan took it and put it in his mouth and took a bite, it was crispy, sweet but not greasy, and there was a fragrance.

Jiang Yuan immediately said, "Sister Yan's craftsmanship is really good, I think it's not worse than what the imperial dining room does." ”

"Really? Emperor Xie praised it, but the concubines always thought it was not in line with the emperor's taste. Peony, bring the jasmine tea to the emperor to drink. ”

"And jasmine tea? That's great. Although Jiang Yuan can't dress up like other girls, she doesn't have to control her mouth like other girls. Especially when he became the emperor, what he wanted to eat was naturally delicious.

Peony immediately came up with a cup of tea, and when it was served, she exchanged glances with Chu Yan.

Chu Yan took the jasmine tea and handed it to Jiang Yuan and said, "This jasmine was planted and picked by the concubines themselves when they were in the house, how about the emperor's taste?" ”

Jiang Yuan didn't think much about it, so he took a sip of it, and then said, "The floral fragrance is just right, but I think there are some other flavors in this tea." But I can't tell. ”

Chu Yan's eyes flickered for a moment, and said, "Oh, maybe, it may be that the jasmine has been left for a long time." The concubine Ming'er will take it out and dry it again. The emperor felt that the taste was not good, so he stopped drinking it. ”

Jiang Yuan said, "It's not in the way, and that little bit of other flavor doesn't hurt." After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he took a few more sips.

Chu Yan looked at Peony, Peony understood, so she quietly retreated and closed the door.

Chu Yan asked Jiang Yuan tentatively, "Does the emperor feel a little hot?" If it's hot, the concubine will open the window for you. ”

Jiang Yuan felt a little strange, this was early spring, and the weather was still a little cold, how could Chu Yan feel that she was hot? Probably just because of the hot tea.

Jiang Yuan said, "I'm not hot. ”

Chu Yan was also a little surprised on her face, but she still sighed.

Jiang Yuan looked at Chu Yan and said, "I know that I have snubbed you these days. But in fact, I have a hard time, and I will explain it to you later. Sister Yan, I hope you don't blame me. ”

Chu Yan's mind was all on something else, that is, observing the change in Jiang Yuan's expression, so she didn't listen to Jiang Yuan's words carefully, but just replied, "The emperor said that he laughed, no matter what the emperor did, the concubines would not blame the emperor." ”

As soon as Jiang Yuan was moved, he shook Chu Yan's hand and said, "You are so understanding, you are really my good sister." ”

Chu Yan was shaken by Jiang Yuan's hand, and immediately touched Jiang Yuan's hand with her hand, puzzled, "Your Majesty, why aren't your hands hot?" Don't you feel hot until now? ”

Jiang Yuan withdrew his hand and asked, "Sister Yan, why do you always think I will be hot?" ”

"That's because the effect of the medicine should be ......" Chu Yan didn't have any scheming after all, and almost told the truth.

Jiang Yuan immediately asked, "What medicinal effect?" Sister Yan, what did you do to me? ”

Chu Yan said with a look of grievance, "Concubine, concubine just wants the emperor to favor the concubine, so in the tea, put some, some aphrodisiacs." ”
