"With you, you are also qualified to mention Your Majesty?" He Concubine sneered.

"Your Majesty, you are the Lord of the Great Abyss." Zhao Yan smiled and said, "It's not just me who can mention it, but the people of Dayuan can mention it all of them."

When he said this to the concubine, he asked His Majesty to be separated from the people of the world. ”

Concubine He laughed: "You will splash dirty water, but unfortunately, your set is useless to me." ”

"Niangniang, let's let me go quickly." Zhao Yan raised her chin, her apricot eyes still with a smile: "Today, I am a guest of His Majesty, and I am here to give gifts to the Queen Mother."

If I am not seen at today's banquet, Your Majesty's thunderous anger, I am afraid that you and the concubine will not be able to bear it. ”

Concubine He laughed and looked left and right: "Did you hear that?" ”

"It's ridiculous." Mama Jing laughed and said, "Zhao Yan, don't you look at it, what kind of thing are you?"

Your Majesty will notice you? ”

"That is, what has the Hou Mansion of Huai'an become? I really think I'm a great lady......"

"Everyone's ladies? I think it's a joke for everyone......"

"I have never seen such a self-aware person......"

Several palace maids and eunuchs who were holding Zhao Yan spoke one after another, sneering.

Zhao Yan was not angry, and still looked at Concubine He with a smile.

"Niangniang, someone is urging you to come ahead, please go to the table quickly......"

Outside, a little eunuch reminded loudly.

"Here we are." Mama Jing answered, and said to Concubine He: "Niangniang, go to the front first, the banquet is important."

As for this slut, let's deal with it when I get back. ”

Concubine He nodded: "Escort her to the firewood room in the small kitchen for me, and wait for the palace to come back." ”

Since Zhao Yan has fallen into her hands, she is not afraid that Zhao Yan will run away.

As for how to deal with it, she hasn't thought about it yet, anyway, Zhao Yan doesn't want to walk out of the palace alive.

When the feast is about to come, I happen to think about it.

Concubine He walked out with a group of palace maids.

Zhao Yan was tied up by Wuhua and escorted to the firewood room.

"Get out in, be honest."

The little eunuch's strength was not small, and he pushed Zhao Yan to a stumbling one.

Zhao Yan looked left and right, she really didn't expect that Concubine He would have such a firewood room, and the firewood was quite well-prepared.

She quickly walked over to the straw that had started the fire and sat down.

This kind of place, she is familiar with.

In the past ten years, she spent most of her time in the firewood room.

She knew exactly what grass was dry, what grass was wet, and where it was best to sit.

Leaning on the haystack, she couldn't help but think of the dark life in the past.

She let out a sigh of relief, suppressing the fear in her heart.

Even after such a long time, even if Jiang Qingrou has been trampled on the soles of her feet, she still can't suppress her fear when she thinks of the old days.

She craned her neck and closed her eyes.

She misses her little quilt again.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a soft call from the Leaf: "Girl, girl." ”

Zhao Yan opened her eyes.

It was already completely dark.

On the north side of this firewood house, there is a small window, and the Leaf is there.

"How's it going?" Zhao Yan got up and walked over.

"The slave has already told Princess Yong of the girl's whereabouts according to the girl's instructions." Ye Feng looked at her hard at the window: "The slave can't see the girl clearly, they didn't do anything to the girl, right?" Is the girl hurt? ”

"Nope." Zhao Yan leaned to the window: "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Leaf tried hard for a few more moments, and finally saw her hands behind her back: "Girl, did they tie you up?"

How uncomfortable is that? Turn around quickly, and the slave will untie it for you. ”

"Okay." Zhao Yan agreed.

She originally wanted to go to see Emperor Qianyuan just like that.

But it's really uncomfortable to be tied up like this.

It's not necessary to think about it, she still doesn't torture herself.

She turned and leaned against the window.

Leaf reached in and untied the twine.

Zhao Yan moved her hands and feet: "Don't stay with me, when someone comes, you can lead the way for them." ”

"But the girl......" Leaf is not at ease.

"I'm fine." Zhao Yan shook her hand: "Concubine He hates me to the bone, and she won't let me die in the hands of others." ”

"Yes." Leaf had no choice but to agree: "The slave is gone, the girl must be careful." ”

"Don't worry." Zhao Yan responded.

*

The Daqing Hall in the palace is brightly lit.

In the center of the main hall, there is a big stage, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the stage is singing lively.

The Queen Mother was sitting on the phoenix seat, watching the play with a smile, Ye Ruoling was by the side, her eyes were dripping, she had already looked for it twice, and she hadn't seen Zhao Yan's figure yet.

But I saw the old lady of the Zhao family.

She wondered in her heart, and was a little worried, didn't Zhao Yan enter the palace today? Or is something happening?

She looked at the old queen mother beside her, anxious, she couldn't get out!

At the bottom, there are civil and military officials on the left, and the female dependents on the right.

Emperor Qianyuan sat next to the old queen mother, with a little smile on his face, but his eyes fell on the ladies below.

Zhou Yu sat under Emperor Qianyuan, worthy of the name of one person and above ten thousand people.

He swept Old Madam Zhao's face with an indifferent expression, and beckoned to Qu Xiao behind him.

Qu Xiao hurriedly leaned over.

Zhou Yu asked in a low voice, "What about her?" ”

Qu Xiao also looked at Mrs. Zhao and whispered, "The girl came to the palace, but she didn't know where she went." ”

"Let people go and see it." Zhou Yu commanded.

Qu Xiao nodded, bowed his head and retreated.

The princes of the crown prince and King Yong, with the princesses of each family, sat under Zhou Yu.

The concubines sat around a table behind the curtains.

Only the young empress was by the side of Emperor Qianyuan.

Today's meeting can be regarded as a joy for the monarchs and ministers.

Princess Yong sat beside King Yong, holding a wine cup and taking a sip.

From the last time, after Zhao Yan mentioned her, she had an open and honest conversation with King Yong.

I have to admit that Zhao Yan is indeed smart.

Although King Yong hated her, he still agreed to let her stay for the sake of his reputation.

Now, there is no affection between her and King Yong, but King Yong is very good to her in front of people.

For example, right now, King Yong is serving her vegetables.

She also smiled back at King Yong.

Looking at the envious gaze below, she only felt irony in her heart.

Remembering what Zhao Yan's maidservant had just come to look for her, her eyes turned to Emperor Qianyuan again.

Although, Zhao Yan's maidservant's commanding tone made her very unhappy.

But she still has to help Zhao Yan.

She knew very well that she was not helping Zhao Yan, but helping herself.

The charges of her father and brother have been dropped, and her mother and younger brother have also been imprisoned, and the lives of the family are tied to her.

She must let Emperor Qianyuan get Zhao Yan and fulfill her original promise.

She didn't know why, from the last time she entered the palace to Emperor Qianyuan, she talked about Zhao Yan's appearance.

It has been half a month now, but Emperor Qianyuan has not summoned Zhao Yan.

Could it be that Emperor Qianyuan didn't believe her?

Or are you not interested in Zhao Yan's looks?

No, Emperor Qianyuan was obviously very excited that day.

No matter what, she had to think of mentioning Zhao Yan and let Emperor Qianyuan accept Zhao Yan, just today! It's at this feast!

In this way, her family can survive.

She was thinking about it, and the play was finished.

Emperor Qianyuan opened his mouth: "That, but the old lady of the Huai'an Hou Mansion?" ”

He raised his hand and pointed at Old Madam Zhao.

In the main hall, it was suddenly quiet.

On the stage, the re-replaced singers did not dare to sing.

This kind of person is afraid of disturbing Emperor Qianyuan's speech.

"The old man has seen Your Majesty."

Old Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment before she reacted, she looked flattered, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"It's really Mrs. Zhao." Emperor Qianyuan put down the wine cup, and a smile appeared on his face: "I haven't seen you for many years." ”

"Yes." Old Madam Zhao lowered her head and didn't dare to speak more.

Haven't you been doing it for years?

Since Emperor Qianyuan ascended the throne, she has never entered the palace again.

"At the beginning, you were often in the palace, and I was still young at that time." Emperor Qianyuan said: "Remember this way, you often bring in all kinds of exquisite food from outside the palace for the concubine of the former emperor's brother. ”

"I didn't expect that Your Majesty still remembers the old body." Old Madam Zhao was moved.

"Naturally, I remember." Emperor Qianyuan said: "When I ascended the throne, I also had a share of the credit of the old Huai'an Hou.

Are you here today? ”

When Princess Yong heard him ask, the stone in her heart fell to the ground, Emperor Qianyuan was obviously inquiring about Zhao Yan, she finally didn't have to think hard about how to say this.
