Under the gazebo, the shrill voice of the waiter came.

The queen and Concubine Li were taken aback at the same time and quickly stood up.

Wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he entered the pavilion and looked at the queen and the others leisurely.

"Long live the emperor, long live it." The queen and others shouted long live.

The emperor's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally stopped on Ye Zhiwei's body.

"Flat." The emperor said quietly.

"Your Majesty."

With a noble smile on her face, the queen gave up her first position.

The emperor lifted the placket of the dragon robe, sat calmly, and waved his hand casually, "You all sit too." ”

The queen and Concubine Li all sat down, Li was very nervous, and peeked at Ye Zhiwei beside her, but saw that she was not panicked, but just stood in a regular manner, with an elegant temperament.

The emperor noticed the gaze of the Li family, so he looked at the Li family, and suddenly remembered the excerpt handed by the prince of Zhenguo a while ago, and wanted to ask for the seal for his eldest son Ye Dongzhou.

A few days after Ye Huai'an disappeared, a funeral was held in the Zhenguo Mansion, and his concubine was driven out of the mansion.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the emperor's eyes.

Ye Huai'an's ability is best known to him, this person is capable of literature and martial arts, and he is the best candidate to succeed the Duke of Zhenguo, but unfortunately this person has a shortcoming, that is, he loves his wife and daughter too much, and even more than himself.

Since Min's death, he has been ill for nine years.

Ye Huai'an's disappearance was strange, and it happened to be something that happened on the way back to his house after he was summoned to the palace.

The emperor didn't say anything, but he was always a little sorry in his heart, feeling that this matter was inseparable from his summons.

So now, the emperor also has a subtle thought about Ye Zhiwei, feeling that this woman is in such a situation, if he can protect her safety, it can be regarded as an explanation to Ye Huai'an, and he will be more down-to-earth in his own heart.

In particular, he had heard people talk about this matter in private, saying that Ye Huai'an's death was inseparable from the second room of the big house of the Zhenguo Mansion, and it was probably because someone wanted to fight for the position of the grandfather, so he did Ye Huai'an.

If this is the case, then it is even more impossible for him to approve the excerpts that Zhen Guogong handed into the palace.

"This is Huai'an's daughter?" The emperor spoke.

Hearing such a title, Li Shi chuckled in his heart.

There is obviously a sense of closeness in these words, which shows the emperor's importance to Ye Huai'an.

"Yes......" Li felt uneasy, and looked at the queen as if asking for help.

The queen poured a cup of tea for the emperor with her own hands, handed it over with both hands and said, "Yes, this child is so old in a blink of an eye, when she first entered the palace, she was only one or two years old." ”

The emperor took the tea with one hand and did not drink it, but put it in front of him, "Oh, I don't know what she will do, can you ask Mr. to teach in the house?" ”

The queen looked at the Li family, and the Li family secretly rejoiced, if she wanted to bring down Ye Zhiwei, now was the right time.

She deliberately showed a confused look on her face, "This...... Please forgive the emperor, the concubines really don't know. ”

The emperor's face was cold.

In the gazebo, the atmosphere suddenly condensed, and the sense of relaxation just now was gone.

The emperor's tone was slightly dissatisfied, "Is there anything wrong with what I just asked?" ”

What are you kidding, who would dare to answer this kind of questioning.

If the emperor is right, then why does no one answer this question, if so, is wrong...... That's not wanting a head.

"Back to the emperor, there is nothing wrong with what you asked." Ye Zhiwei responded softly, breaking the deadlock in the pavilion.

"Then why hasn't anyone answered my question?"

"Because the fault lies with the courtier, the aunt can't answer." Ye Zhiwei's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, hanging down her long eyelashes, hiding a touch of sadness under her eyes.

For a while, in the gazebo, everyone's eyes were on her.

Li Shi was shocked into a cold sweat, she stared at Ye Zhiwei in disbelief, and didn't understand why she was so bold and dared to say such a rebellious thing in front of the emperor.

She dared to take the initiative to say "the fault lies with the courtiers", isn't she afraid that the emperor will punish her?

Ye Zhiwei stood there respectfully, her expression calm and calm, her eyes lowered, and she didn't see the slightest flustery.

The emperor casually asked Ye Zhiwei what she had learned in the mansion, but he didn't expect to get such an answer from her, and he stared at her in surprise, "You...... Can you say, what is wrong with you? ”

Li was nervous and excited, and he hoped that the emperor would immediately treat Ye Zhiwei for the crime of disrespect, but he said: "Wei'er is young and ignorant, and I ask the emperor to forgive her sins." ”

Ye Zhiwei smiled faintly, what was in Li's heart, she couldn't be clearer, and wanted to tell her all kinds of bad deeds in front of the emperor.

made a big fuss in his father's mourning hall, refused to wear filial piety, and was calculated by a master of the Tao in front of him, his father and mother, how could the emperor tolerate such a person?

Ye Zhiwei took the initiative to take a step forward and knelt on the ground.

What she has to do now is to act one step earlier than the Li family and show her "bad deeds" to the world.

"Your Majesty." Ye Zhiwei raised her head, looking at the emperor with dark and shiny eyes, those eyes couldn't help but remind the emperor of Ye Huai'an, a humble and elegant courtier, a civil and military all-round talent who was competent enough to be the commander of the Northwest Army......

"The courtier's daughter has been living in her aunt's house in the south since she lost her mother, and fortunately her aunt took care of her, so she was able to grow up smoothly, but she regretted that she did not have the opportunity to serve her father. I thought I could make up for my regrets after returning home, but I didn't want my father to be accidentally disappeared, and my father called in the dream of the courtiers every night, so the courtiers still don't believe that their father is no longer alive, so they refuse to wear filial piety clothes in order to avoid damaging their father's longevity, which has caused trouble to the aunt and uncle in the house......"

Li's eyes widened and he looked at Ye Zhiwei.

Ye Zhiwei said this impeccably, but for some reason, there was a feeling of coldness behind Li's back. Especially when the emperor looked at her, his eyes were like a sharp sword.

"The Emperor...... The emperor ......" Li stammered, and his throat was like a rag.

Ye Zhiwei knelt in front of the emperor, completely ignoring the Li family, and continued: "The courtiers have not learned anything, they only know that if they are courtiers, they must be loyal to the king, and if they are the sons of men, they must be filial to their parents, and the courtiers are just a young orphan girl, helpless, never asking for anything, just hoping to find their father one day and rely on him for their lives......"

The emperor pursed his lips slightly, and he remembered the scene when he summoned Ye Huai'an for the last time.

At that time, Ye Huai'an was already very ill, and he even had to be helped to walk, and when he asked him if he could go to the northwest for his father, he immediately responded.

And the only thing he asked the emperor for was to ask the emperor to take care of his orphan daughter after his death.

At that time, the emperor didn't take it to heart, Ye Zhiwei is the granddaughter of Zhenguo Gong, and she will definitely be taken care of well, but now it seems that he is outrageously wrong.

Ye Huaian called his daughter an "orphan girl" at that time, which shows that he had long expected such an ending.

"Okay, what an orphan girl...... Emperor Huo Ran stood up, and the bright yellow dragon robe stopped in front of Ye Zhiwei's eyes.

"Yesterday, someone impeached my courtiers in front of me for being a rebel minister, and today there is a concubine of the Zhenguo Mansion as an orphan!" The emperor's voice became higher and higher, echoing in the pavilion, so shocked that the queen and others all lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to come out.

"Message!" The emperor instructed the attendants around him, "The position of the grandfather of the Zhenguo Mansion is passed on to Ye Huai'an's daughter, Ye Zhiwei, to give a pair of loyal and righteous plaques, a pair of jade meanings, and a statue of Wuzun Buddha ......"
