Qixia Palace

Wang Guifei was wearing a plain Luo skirt, kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and chanting Buddha, when she suddenly heard someone limping in, Wang Guifei immediately turned around.

"Xiu'er, why did you come back, what about the tea in this palace?" Wang Yu asked suspiciously.

"Concubine Niangniang, slave maid...... The slave can't stand you, and she doesn't keep your tea. After that, the palace maid who called Xiu'er cried.

"What's wrong? What happened? Xiu'er? Wang Yu looked at Xiu'er with some consternation.

Then the palace maid named Xiu'er told Wang Guifei the truth about the matter.

Wang Guifei thought for a while and said, "Xiu'er, you go down to recuperate first, and then ...... Seeing Ye Anran, he hid and walked. ”

"Guifei Niangniang, you are a dignified concubine, I don't know how many levels higher than her, how can you tolerate it so much, the slave maid has been beaten to nothing, but it's a pity that the master's breath is difficult to swallow, if we endure it today, she will still bully us in the future." Xiu'er said a little unconvinced.

"Xiu'er, you also know for so many years that although this palace is the imperial concubine, it is in name only, the emperor doesn't look at the palace at all, this palace is the same as the queen, but a lonely princess who guards the boudoir, Ye Anran is deeply loved by the emperor, although the division is not high, but the power is not small, the palace does not want to conflict with her because of this matter." Although Wang Guifei lived in the deep palace, she still knew more or less about the rumors outside.

Ye Anran is now the favorite harem, who doesn't know who doesn't know, how dare she go up against the wind?

"Guifei Niangniang, ...... tea?" Xiu'er wanted to speak and stopped.

"I don't want tea, in fact, it's no wonder she is angry about this matter, after all, tea is the Ye family's business, and now my father insists on taking over the Ye family's business for the sake of profit, I'm afraid it's not an easy thing." Wang Yu sighed.

"Yes, doesn't Master Wang's family still want you to help him say a few kind words in front of the emperor and try to take over the Ye family's tea house?" Xiu'er remembered the letter from home and said.

"Well, this matter, although Bengong knows that he can't help anything, but he also has to go, after all, he is my father." Wang Yu seems to have made up her mind, although she knows that the emperor may not agree, but she still has to fight for her father.

"Xiu'er, you go to rest first, go to the imperial study in the palace for a while, and meet the emperor." After that, Wang Yu changed into a gorgeous dress and got up to go to the imperial study.

"Yes, concubine Niangniang, the slave will retire first." Xiu'er limped back.

While walking, Wang Yu showed a sad expression, in the harem is like this, when she is popular, she is popular, without the emperor's favor, even if she is a high-ranking concubine, there is no way to protect her slaves, this is something that no one can control.

Xiu'er was beaten, although she was very aggrieved, but she had no way to get justice for Xiu'er, just because that woman was the emperor's celebrity.

Inside the Imperial Study

Ye Anran was studying ink for the emperor, but he seemed to be distracted, and he didn't know that the ink was sticking to his hands.

"Enron, what are you in a daze? What are you thinking? Seeing that Ye Anran was distracted, the emperor looked at her funny and asked.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Ye Anran came back to his senses and said secretly.

"It's not a small crime to bully the king, if you have anything on your mind, say it and listen to it, and see if I can help you." How could the emperor be so smart that he couldn't see the change in Ye Anran's expression.

Seeing the emperor's repeated questions, Ye Anran sighed and replied: "Your Majesty, the concubine beat someone today. ”

"Hit someone? Hit whom? The emperor was stunned.

"A palace maid in Qixia Palace." Ye Anran sat down and whispered beside the emperor.

"Oh, it turned out to be a palace maid, hehe, it's okay, but why is that palace maid angry with you? Do you need me to help you get out of your anger? The emperor asked with a smile.

Ye Anran shook his head: "No need, Your Majesty, the concubine has already beaten her thirty boards, and she was really angry at the time, but now that I think about it, the concubine is too excited, in fact, that palace maid is not wrong, after all, she is also obedient to others, why should I be angry with her?" ”

"Oh? Sounds like there are a few twists and turns? The emperor asked.

"Well, the Luoyang royal family has now cultivated new varieties of tea, and it seems that they want to ...... us The Ye family's business took its place, and the little palace maid was swaggering through the market with tea, as if she was afraid that others would not know, and the concubine was also touching the scene at that time, and she remembered her family, so she ...... In a hurry, he punished the palace maid and asked the emperor for forgiveness. Ye Anran lowered his head guiltily after saying that.

The emperor took Ye Anran's hand and said softly: "Enron, you are right, the Luoyang royal family...... It's a bit too much, and it's not an exaggeration for you to do this, so it's good to teach them a lesson. ”

"Your Majesty, you ...... Did you also agree to the Luoyang royal family taking over my Ye family tea house? Ye Anran is actually most concerned about the emperor's attitude.

After the Ye family was beheaded everywhere, the tea house and the Ye family's wealth were all filled into the treasury, so the decision on this matter was only decided by the emperor.

"Enron, this matter ...... I've never mentioned it to anyone, but since you asked today, I'll tell you the truth, just rush to my side, and the tea house won't fall into the hands of others, let alone the Luoyang Wang family, even if no one can, understand? ”

"Your Majesty, what are you interested in...... The great kindness of the concubines, the concubines have nothing to reciprocate, and the great kindness is not grateful. Hearing the emperor's promise, Ye Anran seemed to be a lot relieved, at least knowing that his family business would not easily fall into the hands of others.

As soon as the emperor wanted to say something, he heard the voice of Gonggong Zhu outside: "Your Majesty, the princess asks to see you." ”

"Yu'er, why is she here? Announce it. Hearing the name of Wang Guifei, the emperor only felt a little strange, on weekdays, Wang Yu eats fasting and recites Buddha, but does not ask about the harem at all, and when he comes to see himself today, he must be asking for it again, is it ...... Is it really the same as Ye Anran said, is she here to take over the tea house for the Luoyang royal family?

The emperor's mind was a little messy for a moment......

"Your Majesty, since Sister Wang is here, then the concubines will retire first." Ye Anran got up and wanted to leave, but was pulled by the emperor.

"Don't go, Enron, you sit down and stay with me."

"But...... Didn't Sister Wang have something to say to the emperor alone? Ye Anran asked pretending to be ignorant.

"I don't have to hide anything from you, it's okay, you can sit down." The emperor seems to want to give Ye Anran an attitude in the matter of the tea house today, so that she doesn't think nonsense.

At this time, the door opened, and Wang Guifei walked in in a dark red dress, and Ying Ying bowed: "The concubine asks the emperor for peace." ”

"Flat."

"Your Majesty." Wang Guifei's voice seemed to be weak, and when she heard it, she was a perennial sick woman.

Ye Anran then got up and saluted: "The concubine greets Sister Wang Guifei." ”

"My sister is exempt." Wang Guifei glanced at Ye Anran meaningfully and smiled sweetly.

"Yu'er, are you looking for me?" The emperor asked straight to the point.

"Back to the emperor, concubine...... I really have something I want to tell the emperor. When Wang Guifei saw the emperor asking, she didn't have to hide it.

"Okay, let's talk."
