Chapter 325: The Second Husband (I)
After Mei Yingxue left Yunrong Palace, she didn't go back to her residence, and after thinking about it, she went to find Zhao Yanhe.
Zhao Yanhe will not stay in Beijing for long this time, and she must seize the opportunity.
When she came to Zhao Yanhe's residence, Zhao Yanhe went to find the Queen Mother, because Zhao Yan and the people around her knew her, so they let her in without saying anything.
Mei Yingxue came to Zhao Yanhe's temporary bedroom, looked around, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise slightly. This is the first time she has come to Zhao Yanhe's place.
The room was simple and there was nothing extraneous about it. There is a long sword hanging on the wall, which is Zhao Yanhe's personal sword. Delicate and sharp, Mei Yinxue wanted to touch it, but suddenly remembered that Zhao Yanhe didn't like others to touch his sword, so she withdrew her hand.
His eyes fell on the table next to him, on which were neatly placed two military books and a painting......
Mei Yingxue picked it up and looked at it, her face couldn't help but sink, and she saw that the painting was a woman, sitting on the steps in front of the door and looking up at the sky in a daze, the woman in the painting was wearing the costume of a palace maid, but the woman in the painting was sideways, and her face was not drawn.
Looking at the handwriting of this painting, Zhao Yanhe's painting is good, but who is the woman dressed as a palace maid in this painting......
Mei Yingxue frowned slightly, and at this time, a cool voice came from behind her: "Who allowed you to touch my things?!"
Mei Yingxue was stunned for a moment, turned around, but saw that Zhao Yanhe didn't know when he came back.
"Zhao ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yanhe took three steps and two steps, stepped forward and took the painting back, his face was a little ugly: "Don't touch my things casually in the future!"
"Oh...... I know, I just don't move in the future, I haven't seen him for a few years, and as soon as I met Brother Zhao, I was so fierce to me, and it was different if I really went to the battlefield......"
Zhao Yanhe realized that he was a little abnormal, restrained his emotions, and after putting away the painting, he turned around and saw Mei Yingxue, and said lightly: "You know, I have always disliked others touching my things. After that, he changed the topic and said: "I haven't seen it for a few years, but it's getting brighter." ”
Seeing Zhao Yanhe praising herself, Mei Yingxue was happy in her heart, but it was not in vain that she worked hard to dress up.
"Brother Zhao is also getting more and more outstanding, when you return to Beijing this time, many official daughters in Beijing are very happy. After that, he tentatively asked: "Brother Zhao, you are not too old now, have you considered the issue of starting a family when you return to Beijing this time?"
Zhao Yanhe ignored her, sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.
He is most annoyed by the temptation of others to say something like this, isn't Mei Yingxue's purpose in entering the palace this time to prepare to be the general's wife. If it weren't for the old friendship between the two, Zhao Yanhe would not have treated her so patiently.
Mei Yingxue saw that he actually poured the tea himself, frowned slightly and said, "Brother Zhao, why do you pour the tea yourself?
"I'm away all year round, I'm used to it. ”
"After so many years, Brother Zhao has a confidant by his side?"
"Don't make trouble!" Zhao Yanhe said with a smile: "I'm fighting outside, and I'm not enjoying happiness, there is only a group of big men around me, where can I find any confidants and red faces? ”
Mei Yingxue was amused by him: "Seeing that they are immortals, what about me?"
"You too. ”
Zhao Yanhe didn't think that Mei Yingxue was any different from other women, Mei Yingxue's eyes darkened, and soon, her expression returned to normal: "Then the one painted by Brother Zhao, where did you see the fairy?"
Zhao Yanhe heard this, and his face, which was originally pleasant, sank a little.
Mei Yingxue couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Brother Zhao, you, don't be angry, I'm just curious......"
"Yingxue. Zhao Yanhe looked at her seriously, ready to make it clear to her: "I don't want to sell you anymore, over the years, I have actually been treating you as a sister, and my aunt has passed you into the palace, I don't care for what purpose! ”
Mei Yingxue saw that he had made his words clear, and her eyes were slightly reddened, and she said, "I don't care." ”
"I care! You'd better die of this heart!"
"You...... Hmph!!" Mei Yingxue didn't expect that she hadn't said anything, so she was rejected so completely, and ran out in shame.
Zhao Yanhe sighed, he didn't bother to care about her, he couldn't help but think of Yu Erya's matter in his heart, I don't know when Your Majesty will have a quasi-letter?
After Mei Yingxue returned to her residence, Zhao Yange, who was suffering from the same illness as her, was thinking about how to attract His Majesty, because in a few days, she and her brother would leave the palace.
Seeing that Mei Yingxue came back with a bad look, she asked with concern, "Ah Xue, what's wrong?"
"I saw ......" Mei Yingxue told Zhao Yange everything Zhao Yanhe said to herself, including the portrait of the palace maid.
"Yange, tell me the truth, does Brother Zhao have a crush on which palace maid?"
"I don't know. Zhao Yange was stunned, and didn't seem to believe that his brother who was above the top would fall in love with a palace maid: "My brother won't tell me about this kind of thing...... Don't worry, maybe it's just a character drawn by my brother's essay, I'll help you inquire. ”
Zhao Yanhe's matter of going to find Erya is quite secret, but it is not a big secret, and he will always inquire if he has the heart.
After Zhao Yange wasted some thought and inquired, he immediately told Mei Yingxue about the matter.
After Mei Yingxue heard this, she was a little incredulous: "You mean, Brother Zhao fell in love with a palace maid beside Concubine Yun?"
This...... How is this possible!!
"I'm sure that if my brother really has a crush on a certain palace maid in this palace, then it's definitely the one next to Concubine Yun!" After that, he said indignantly: "What kind of master and what kind of slave there is! This master and servant are both good at seducing men! What kind of woman has my brother never seen? I haven't seen him tempted by anyone! That palace maid really has the means to do it!"
Mei Yingxue's face was pale, originally she thought that Zhao Yan was ...... to Concubine Yun But he always felt that it was impossible, even if Concubine Yun was shameless, Brother Zhao must be measured in his heart.
Now she understands it completely, it turns out that he has a crush on a palace maid from Yunrong Palace!
This is undoubtedly a humiliation for Mei Yingxue, she is the young lady of Meifu, is it not as good as a palace maid?
"Yan Ge, how could Brother Zhao fall in love with a palace maid? Then what is it for me to enter the palace this time? Could it be that I still want to compete for favor with a palace maid with a humble status?"
"Don't worry, I also heard that Concubine Yun asked His Majesty to summon the children of the official family into the palace, saying that it was for the palace maid to choose, looking at it like that, Concubine Yun is preparing to let that cheap maid marry someone else, and it may not threaten you. ”
Mei Yingxue: "...... This, how can there be such a thing?"
What is this? It's really unheard of!
"Who let the family follow the right master!" Zhao Yange said in an unkind tone: "When the time comes, which one do you really like, maybe Your Majesty can give that palace maid a title or something to get the right door." ”
Mei Yingxue thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Then again, what does this have to do with me? ”
Mei Yingxue knows what she has to do, as long as it has nothing to do with Zhao Yanhe, how about that, she doesn't bother to care!
Zhao Yange didn't answer, she was different from Mei Yingxue, Mei Yingxue only wanted Zhao Yanhe, but what Zhao Yange wanted was His Majesty, she didn't like Yunqing, and naturally she couldn't get used to Concubine Yun making waves in the palace, and even a palace maid around her had this kind of treatment, is there any reason for this?
It's just that His Majesty is not as easy to seduce as she imagined, and Zhao Yange, who was quite self-righteous before entering the palace, found out that he was not much better than those unfavored women in the harem. Now I can only sulk in one person's life!
......
The children of the family were summoned into the palace three days later, because they were entrusted by Yunqing, Rong Cheng used his heart this time, and those crooked melons and cracked dates were filtered out, and these talents who entered the palace.
Before the second girl arrived, several children of the family gathered around and whispered.
"I heard that Your Majesty summoned us to the palace this time to choose a husband for a palace maid next to Concubine Yun?
"I've heard, this is not an ordinary palace maid, Concubine Yun can treat her as her own sister, if any of us are favored by it, maybe we will be promoted and knighted. ”
"Heh, with our background, when do we need to rely on a palace maid to be promoted to an official?"
"Alas, don't say it too early, when you are chosen, you will know the benefits!"
While everyone was talking, Yunqing came with Erya. smiled and exchanged a few words with everyone, Er Ya forced a smile, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, as if he was not interested in this banquet at all.
......
Mei Yingxue had nothing to do, so she went to Zhao Yanhe's residence again, and this time she didn't say anything, just relying on the old friendship between the two, she was ready to talk to him.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhao Yanhe staring at Yu Erya's portrait.
A nameless fire burned in her heart, Mei Yingxue forced a smile, stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhao." ”
Zhao Yanhe sighed a little helplessly and said, "Why are you here again?"
"I'm bored in this palace, so I'm coming to you, today I heard an interesting thing, and I just wanted to come and talk to you......"
Zhao Yanhe sighed helplessly and said: "Xiang Concubine Niangniang and Yange are now in the palace, what are you bored about?"
Seeing Mei Yingxue's face collapse, Zhao Yanhe said, "What's the matter?"
"Then if I say it, Brother Zhao don't be angry. ”
"Then don't talk about it. Zhao Yanhe disliked her ink.
Mei Yingxue saw that Zhao Yanhe's tone was a little bit funny with herself, and she became a little bolder: "The matter is related to the palace maid named Yu Erya next to Concubine Yun, I don't believe it, you don't dare to be interested!"
Zhao Yanhe: "...... What?"
