Cai Wei helped me to stand at the door, and she was frightened at this time: "Madam, what is the emperor going to do?" ”

Looking at her frightened expression, I was silent for a while, did not speak, but slowly walked back into the room, sat down at the table, and gently commanded, "Close the door." ”

"Oh!"

She hurriedly closed the door.

As soon as the door closed, the panic outside was gone, but the oppressive and panicked atmosphere still permeated the surroundings, and I asked her to come and pour me a cup of tea, holding it in my hand and sipping it slowly.

Time passed little by little.

I don't know how long it took, maybe it took a long time, the tea in my hand slowly became cold, and finally I heard a sound of footsteps outside, not like Yang Jinqiao alone, but like a lot of people came, I frowned slightly, and immediately heard the knock on the door outside.

Cai Wei looked at me, and I nodded gently.

She walked over and opened the door, and saw Yang Jinqiao standing at the door, looking at me with a complicated expression.

I also hurriedly got up and walked over, met her gaze, and said suspiciously, "What's wrong?" What did the emperor send people to do? ”

She looked at me again, but didn't say anything, but turned to the person behind her and said, "Bring it in." ”

What?

I was puzzled, but I didn't have time to ask, and several maids behind her had already walked in with a few delicate boxes, and Cai Wei and I stepped aside, and watched them walk to the table and put the boxes on the table, which were very delicate round boxes carved in wenge wood. Watching them put them on the table one by one, my brows furrowed, and I turned back to Yang Jinqiao: "What's the matter?" What are they? ”

"Didn't you ask, what did the emperor send someone to do?"

"Well, what does he do?"

"He sent someone to feed the Yang family."

"Huh? Feeding? Since there was nothing important but food, I was even more puzzled: "Then what did you bring to me for?" ”

"It's for you."

“……”

"He's never given food to the Yang Mansion like this, and—" She walked slowly to the table, her eyes motioning for one of the maids to open the lid of a round box, revealing the food inside, "The people of the Yang family never eat spicy food. ”

I stood still, just looking at the box, and sure enough, there was a plate of red, spicy food.

Heat slowly rises from the box.

Seeing that my eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, Yang Jinqiao didn't say anything, only made a look, and the maids leaned over and saluted, and then they all withdrew.

She slowly turned to look at me and said softly, "The emperor knows that you are in the Yang family. ”

“……”

"It doesn't look like he's going to force you, though."

“……”

"You-"

She seemed to have a lot to say to me, but when I looked up at her constant twinkle in her eyes, she suddenly paused again.

After a moment of silence, she sighed softly, "You can rest first." These things are all sent to you, you see, whether they fit the taste. ”

“……”

"I'm leaving."

“……”

I didn't speak, just watched her walk out in front of me, and in a few moments, her back disappeared outside the gate.

I slowly turned my head and looked at the delicate food boxes on the table, Cai Wei had already walked over, looked at the steaming dishes in the box with the lid opened, and said softly: "Well, it's so fragrant, but it's also so spicy." ”

As she spoke, she looked up at me, "Madam, do you want to use a little?" ”

I shook my head.

"Ma'am, you don't have much for breakfast, so it's better to—"

Halfway through speaking, she looked at my gloomy eyes, and stopped knowingly, and I slowly walked to the table, looking at the food boxes, and the hot air steaming from the inside-from the palace to the Yang Mansion, the journey is not short, and it was still steaming when it was delivered here, and it seemed that someone was specially working on it.

Instead, it took him a lot of effort.

……

I sat at the table like this, and after a long time, I saw that the sunlight outside the door slowly moved from one side to the other, and the dishes on the table were completely cold, I finally moved, and was about to raise my head to call Cai Wei and ask her to take down the things and throw them away, but as soon as I looked up, I saw that outside the door, Yang Jinyao hurriedly walked over.

As soon as I saw her, I immediately got up.

She entered the palace early this morning, and she only came out now, and I am also very relieved.

As soon as she walked to the door, she almost tripped over the threshold because of her hurry, and I hurried over to hold her arm, and I heard her shouting, "Sister Yan! ”

"How? I heard that you were called into the palace early in the morning by the queen's people. ”

"Well, yes!"

"How's that? Did the queen tell you anything? ”

Seeing that she was still a little panting, as if she would come to me as soon as she returned home, I hurriedly took her hand and walked to the table, she saw the food box on the table at a glance, but was stunned: "Hey? ”

"What's wrong?"

"Are these things sent from the palace?"

"How do you know?"

"When I was brought into Jingren Palace by them, I saw a team of palace maids holding these boxes in their hands on the road, hurrying out, and there was a father-in-law next to them who kept urging them, saying that if they dared to spill a little, the emperor would cut off their heads."

As she spoke, she looked up at me, "It turns out that it was sent to you." ”

My face became a little more gloomy, and I didn't say anything, but turned to Cai Wei and said, "Take it down." ”

Cai Wei agreed, hurriedly came over to put away the boxes, and walked to the door with her hand, she looked back at me again: "Madam, where can you take it?" ”

"Throw it wherever you want."

“…… Oh. ”

She had a frightened look on her face again, but she obediently walked out.

Only then did I turn around and stretch out my hand to Yang Jinyao: "Sit down." ”

Yang Jinyao also seemed to be taken aback, sat down and looked at me for a while, the originally cloudy and uncertain, panicked face faintly revealed a bit of admiration: "Sister Yan, I see that in this heavenly court, you are probably the only one who dares to throw things given by the emperor." ”

“……”

"You're amazing!"

Looking at her admiring expression, I smiled lazily: "You don't have to admire me, I still don't dare to throw it in front of him." ”

"But I carried the emperor on my back, and I didn't dare to throw it."

Hearing her say this, she was originally depressed in her heart, but she couldn't help but laugh. After laughing, I looked at her and asked seriously: "Tell me, what did the queen mother do when she sent you into the palace today?" ”

"It's nothing, just let me go into the palace to talk."

As she spoke, her face darkened slightly: "I, I don't have anything to say to the queen mother, and she doesn't seem to be a person who likes to talk, but the people who accompany her are talking to me." ”

"Who is the person accompanying you?"

"It seems to be - what is it called, what is it called, what is it. I couldn't tell the difference, but I heard that she also had a daughter, a little princess. ”

I'll be happy right away, Ye Yunshuang!

"She's always by the Queen's side?"

"Yes, it seems that the queen trusts her quite a bit, and some things are entrusted to her."

I don't wonder that the concubines in the palace are gangs and factions, Chang Qing is cold again, and she also had a close relationship with me at the beginning, many things, she can't do it without me, I don't have her, it's difficult to do things.

After so many years, the harem is still the same, but her side is no longer me, but Ye Yunshuang.

Ye Yunshuang ......

I subconsciously frowned.

At this time, Yang Jinyao stretched out her hand and grabbed my hand, I was stunned for a moment, looked down, and saw that the corners of her eyes were slightly red, as if she was in a hurry, and she was almost about to cry: "Sister Yan, you tell me, in this case, is the emperor going to let me be his concubine in the future?" ”

“……”

"I, I've heard people say that if the emperor wants to canonize a young lady from an official family, he will first let the queen summon him into the palace to speak. Am I about to be canonized? ”

“……”

"Isn't it?"

Looking at her eager eyes, I can almost feel the anxiety in her heart, and even at this moment, her palms are full of cold sweat, presumably along the way, she has experienced incomparable torment in and out of the palace, but things are indeed developing towards the situation she is most unwilling to, if nothing else, Pei Yuanhao's will to canonize her may reach the Yang family at any time.

But-

Until now, Pei Yuanhao has not officially opened this mouth with Yang Wanyun.

In fact, no matter whether he really wants to canonize Yang Jinyao or not, he should first talk to his courtiers, after all, Yang Jinyao is different from Yang Jinqiao at the beginning. This time, if Wu Yanqiu hadn't pushed down the marriage in advance, it was very likely that this would have been the result.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "So, what did your father say?" ”

"My dad?" Yang Jinyao was still a little dazed, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "My father, I haven't come to find him in a hurry yet." As soon as I leave the palace, I will come to you as soon as I get home. I want you to figure it out for me. ”

Seeing her trust me and rely on me like this made me a little overwhelmed - after all, in fact, I was not as omnipotent as she expected, and I did not have the magic power to completely resist the emperor, and if the emperor really issued an edict to canonize her, I would be completely powerless.

However, at this time, I couldn't completely stay out of the matter, I thought about it and said, "You should go and talk to your father first, after all, he is the head of the family, and he is the only one in this family who can talk to the emperor." The emperor's tone can only be detected by him. ”

"The Emperor's tone?"

"Yes," I told her my opinion, and then said, "Whether the emperor must canonize you or not, and whether there is any other solution, this qiē must be clarified by your father." And, of course—"

Before I could finish speaking, I paused.

Yang Jinyao looked at me with wide eyes: "What else?" ”

“……”

I looked at her, was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "It's nothing. Jin Yao, you go and talk to your father first, and if you want, tell him your own wishes. Especially, what you think of Wu Yanqiu. ”

“……”

She was startled, and involuntarily, her ears turned red.

Although she is usually very arrogant and reckless, but at this time, the girl's shyness and reserve still prevailed, she hesitated for a while before nodding lightly: "I know." I'll go now. ”

"Hmm."

I stood up and saw her out, standing in the doorway, watching her back disappear outside the door.

However, my love for Xù did not relax because of her departure, but on the contrary, it became even more tense.

I didn't finish the sentence just now, in fact, I want to say that if you can, it's best to talk to Wu Yanqiu as well.

Although Wu Yanqiu must have pushed down this marriage because Pei Yuanhao was willing to Yang Jinyao, I always felt that he might not be really willing, especially in the scene at the birthday banquet, when Yang Jinyao aggressively asked him, and after him, he walked to his seat and sat down, which made me feel that it was a little different from the usually calm and introverted Wu Yanqiu.

It's just-

How do I talk to him?

Wu Yanqiu is Wu Yanqiu after all, no one is a "fool" who gives up his good career for the sake of feelings, besides, not everyone will have such courage and guts to grab a woman with the emperor.

I just hope that even if the matter between Yang Jinyao and Wu Yanqiu can't be completed, I won't let her go down the path that my sister and I used to do.

|

The next morning, I got up early.

Cai Wei came to serve me early in the morning to freshen up, and just walked in with a basin of hot water, she saw that I was already dressed and hurriedly walked in, and said, "Why did Madame get up so early and didn't sleep well?" ”

"Nope."

She saw that I was cowardly, and I didn't look like I was in the mood to chat, so she didn't say anything, and after serving me to wash up, she combed my hair, but my hair was only halfway combed, and I heard a sound of footsteps outside, as if there were many people entering the courtyard, and when she heard the knock on the door, Cai Wei hurriedly walked over and opened the door.

I saw a group of maids, holding a few delicate food boxes carved from the wings in their hands, and they came in from the outside.

My brow furrowed.

Cai Wei stood at the door and was stupid: "You are-"

The maids put the food boxes on the table, and then came over and saluted me one by one. My hair was half-bunned, and there was a strand of green silk hanging down on my cheeks, and I looked at them with a slight frown: "What's the matter?" ”

The maid who led the way said: "Miss Yan, this is sent from the palace by the emperor early in the morning, and the eldest lady ordered, let us send it to Miss Yan immediately." ”

The center of my eyebrows slowly folded into a Sichuan character.

But I don't know, that's just the beginning.

Since then, every morning, noon and dinner, people will bring steaming food from the palace, and Yang Jinqiao ordered them all to be delivered to my room.

After a long time, the paper can't hold the fire.
