Chapter 555: The bitterness of marrying into the royal family

"Auntie, don't worry, everything is fine in the house." Fu Ziyan smiled and said a little apologetically, "It's not that my father doesn't want to come to see you, but I'm also afraid that other people's beaks will affect you and the emperor."

The queen waved her hand to show her understanding: "He is the uncle of the country, the pillar of the country, and naturally there are many things waiting for him to do. You tell him that I'm fine here, and that he can handle government affairs in peace."

"Yes." Fu Ziyan lowered his eyes, thinking about his aunt who married into the royal family at the age of sixteen, and it was rare for brothers and sisters to see each other for so many years, maybe this is the bitterness of marrying into the royal family.

Sheng Zhiyao saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing and hurriedly said, "Since Uncle is here today, let's stay for dinner, and Zhiyao will personally cook and improve the food for everyone."

Fu Ziyan glanced at her and nodded slowly: "It's okay, it's rare to have a chance to have dinner with my aunt, Ziyan can't ask for it."

"Far away's cooking is very good." The queen also laughed.

Fu Ziyan smiled and nodded: "Then today I will touch my aunt's light."

The smile on the queen's face became brighter and brighter: "Okay, well, there are many people eating lively."

"Then I'll go and prepare now." Sheng Zhiyao happily ran away.

Fu Ziyan raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, sighed, "She has a jumpy temperament, aunt, you have to take care of it more."

The queen waved her hand: "I like a lively child like Zhiyao, how can you be like you, who doesn't speak like a gourd."

Fu Ziyan smiled: "Auntie is wrong, I'm not a stuffy gourd."

"Oh?"

Fu Ziyan took a sip of tea from the teacup and said with a smile, "Auntie, think about it carefully, what does my nephew do on weekdays?"

"In addition to studying, it's to help your father deal with government affairs, what's wrong?"

Fu Ziyan smiled: "Auntie, you really pay too little attention to your nephew."

The queen was stunned, then smiled, reached out and patted his arm, and said, "I can remember only a handful of times you talked to me." After a pause, she added, "I do pay too little attention to you, but my aunt won't in the future."

Fu Ziyan raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask, when he heard the queen say, "Come and see me when you have time in the future, okay?"

Fu Ziyan nodded in response.

"My aunt has no children and no daughters, so when she is old, she naturally likes to be lively, and she will often come when you have time in the future."

"I will."

"You also know that my aunt is just an elder brother to your father, and in the early years, I was always afraid that others would say that my relatives interfered in politics, but I have figured it out a lot over the years." The queen sighed, "What about relatives interfering in politics? As long as they can keep their duty, let them chew their tongues, what is there to fear."

"I'm relieved that my aunt can think so."

The queen smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, let's not talk about these unhappy things, the food made by Zhiyao is really a must, you must try it."

"Yes, my nephew must taste it." Fu Ziyan smiled.

So when Sheng Zhiyao put all the meals on the table, the table was already full of rich delicacies.

The queen smiled and introduced, "Zhiyao likes to make some strange dishes the most, but they are all delicious." She picked up chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of meat for Fu Ziyan, "Let's try it first to see how salty it is."

Fu Ziyan bowed his head and praised in a low voice, "The taste is really extremely tender."

The queen smiled with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's eat it while it's hot, and the taste will change when it cools down."

"Hmm."

Seeing this, the palace maid on the side quietly withdrew from the room.

Not long after, hearty and cheerful laughter came from the room, and it seemed that they were having a good conversation.

After the meal, Fu Ziyan left the palace.

Sheng Zhiyao sent Fu Ziyan away before turning around and returning to Fengguang Palace, but just stepped into the door but was knocked to the ground by the palace maid who suddenly rushed out.

She exhaled in pain, "Ah...... It hurts!"

The palace maid knelt down in front of her in a panic and pleaded, "The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die!" Ask the lord for forgiveness."

Sheng Zhiyao said angrily, "Do you know what kind of place this is? What is the rampage like!"

The palace maid was terrified: "Slave, slave

I know, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, and the slave and maid should die, and I hope that the county lord will spare her life!"

Sheng Zhiyao frowned and said coldly, "Okay, get up."

The palace maid hurriedly got up, stood nervously beside her, and waited respectfully with her head bowed.

"What the hell is so alarming?" Sheng Zhiyao frowned.

The palace maid hesitated for a moment before she spoke, "The slave seems to have seen a snake just now...... A snake with a red body."

Hearing this, Sheng Zhiyao's face immediately sank.

She looked up, stared at her sharply, and said, "Snakes? You mean there is a snake in the palace?"

The palace maid was so frightened that she shrank and hurriedly shook her head and denied: "The slave maid, the slave maid didn't see it clearly, the slave maid only felt like a snake, and she couldn't be sure."

"Stand down, I'll search for it."

"Yes."

The palace maid retreated.

Sheng Zhiyao was very calm, she knew that the palace maid was not mistaken, the snake should be red brocade.

I don't know what Hongjin came here to look for her so late.

But either way, she definitely has a message to deliver.

Sheng Zhiyao waited for the queen to fall asleep, and then she silently returned to her Fengguang Palace, and sure enough, Hongjin was already waiting for her on the seat in the palace.

Although the Fengguang Hall was a palace given to Sheng Zhiyao by the emperor, at her request, the palace was not equipped with palace maids and eunuchs, and she didn't like strangers to wander around her place.

Except for Mama Rong who will take someone to clean it every day, the rest of the time it is an empty temple, and the maid should have seen the red brocade when she was cleaning the yard just now.

"Master." Hongjin jumped and slipped on Sheng Zhiyao's shoulder.

"You're here, but what's the important news?" Sheng Zhiyao asked.

Hongjin shook his head: "There is no important news, it's just that the master doesn't want to leave the palace recently."

"Why?"

"Because Nangong Yu calculated that you will have a bloody disaster recently, you must dodge."

The corners of Sheng Zhiyao's mouth twitched, and he glared at it: "What kind of explanation do you have? Where can I hide? What should come will come, and there will be no way to come if it shouldn't."

"Master, the Nangong family's prediction is still very accurate, and the queen was very trusting in the past."

Sheng Zhiyao rolled her eyes: "So what? My fate is up to me."

"Master, this matter is not trivial, you better listen to our arrangement."

"If I don't do what you tell me, won't I know what to do?"

"That's better than losing your life." Hongjin said solemnly, "Why don't you let Hongxue come into the palace to accompany you?"

At the mention of Hongxue, Sheng Zhiyao couldn't help frowning: "No need, Hongxue stayed in the mansion to take care of her parents."

"What about you?"

"Me? I'm fine in the palace." Sheng Zhiyao said without hesitation.

Red brocade furrowed her eyebrows.

"Master, the Nangong family is a powerful person, and Elder Nangong has the power to predict the future, seek good fortune and avoid evil, since you don't want Hongxue to take care of her, then find someone to replace her, in short, you can't take any risks."
