"Courtier Zhao Yan, I have seen Your Majesty." Zhao Yan didn't care about the eyes around her.

She bowed her head, walked to the center of the main hall, and calmly bowed to Emperor Qianyuan.

"Look up." The chopsticks in Emperor Qianyuan's hand were held tightly, and he even trembled slightly.

Like, words and deeds are too similar.

It is worthy of being a mother and daughter.

Why didn't he think of Zhao Yan before?

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhao Yan raised her beautiful little face and faced Emperor Qianyuan.

Qian Yuan saw her face clearly, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she was speechless for a while.

Zhao Yan's eyebrows and eyes are the same as the original Sheng Xue.

If it weren't for the ministers in front of him, he would have stepped forward now, took a closer look, and touched Zhao Yan's face.

This is not Sheng Xue's illusory face when he dreams back at midnight.

It was really in front of him, with a face similar to Sheng Xue.

She is Sheng Xue's daughter.

He clenched his fists, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Concubine He froze and said with a smile: "Zhao Yan, where did you hide?"

Your grandmother can't find you, she is in a hurry, and even Your Majesty is in a hurry, you really make it easy for us to find you. ”

Old Madam Zhao was on the side, watching this scene, and finally understood in her heart.

She remembered.

Zhao Yan, this girl, is almost exactly the same as Sheng Xue between her eyebrows and eyes.

Your Majesty looks at Zhao Yan like this, presumably because he has taken a fancy to Zhao Yan?

She was overjoyed in her heart, if Zhao Yan could enter the palace, was she afraid that the Huai'an Hou Mansion would not have glory and wealth?

"What did you say to Concubine Niangniang?" Zhao Yan turned her little face sideways, looked at Concubine He and smiled: "Looking for me everywhere?"

Niangniang personally asked me to be locked up in the firewood room, and now she says that she is looking for me everywhere?

I do not quite understand. ”

And the concubine wants her life.

She and Concubine He are clear in their hearts.

It's just that Concubine He didn't know that Emperor Qianyuan's sister-in-law knew what she looked like.

Today, the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Emperor Qianyuan has long been preparing to see her.

Concubine He was smart, thinking that she intercepted her halfway, and then quietly disposed of it, it would be fine.

At this time, the matter is revealed, and you still want to get by?

Pipe dream!

"Zhao Yan, what nonsense are you talking about." Concubine He frowned and said very innocently: "I invited you to my palace, just to care about Jiang Qingrou's situation."

You said that Jiang Qingrou had left the Huai'an Hou Mansion and was missing.

I was unhappy in my heart, and I did reprimand you a few times, saying that you have no conscience.

But you can't frame me and falsely accuse me in front of Your Majesty just because of this, right?

What is the role of me tying you up? ”

"Then I have to ask Concubine He, what is the purpose of tying me up?" Zhao Yan smiled and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a white wrist: "You can take a look at the red marks on my wrist."

It's a sign of a rope that I can't do myself, right?

Your Majesty can also ask my father-in-law about Zhongzhong, when my father-in-law found me, was I locked up in the firewood room in the palace of Concubine Niangniang? ”

As she spoke, she raised her arms to show the crowd.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that her snow-white and slender wrist was strangled with thick red marks, and at a glance there were traces of hemp rope.

"Jin Zhong." Emperor Qianyuan looked at Jin Zhong.

Jin Zhong hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his body and said cautiously: "When the slave found Miss Zhao, Miss Zhao was indeed in the firewood room.

However, the hemp rope slave has never seen it, and he does not dare to talk nonsense. ”

"The hemp rope, the knot is tied in my hand." Zhao Yan explained: "After I was locked in, I leaned against the wall, and it didn't take long for me to untie myself. ”

"Today is the Queen's birthday." Emperor Qianyuan paused for a moment and slowly spoke: "On such a day, I don't talk about monarchs and ministers, only about guests and hosts.

Those who enter the palace for the banquet today are all my guests.

Concubine He, you tied up my guests and locked them up in your small firewood room.

What is the purpose of this? ”

"Your Majesty." Concubine He knelt down towards Emperor Qianyuan and forcibly calmed down: "The concubine has indeed deceived Your Majesty, and Zhao Yan was detained in the firewood room by the concubine.

But concubines don't do that for no reason.

The concubine only asked a few words about Jiang Qingrou, and Zhao Yan was extremely impatient, saying that Jiang Qingrou had nothing to do with the Huai'an Hou Mansion.

The concubine really can't see it, Jiang Qingrou has been in the Huai'an Hou Mansion for more than ten years, without credit and hard work, and now that she is reconciled, the Huai'an Hou Mansion doesn't even care about her life or death, which is chilling.

The concubine said a few more words.

Who knows, Zhao Yan didn't follow, so she argued with the concubine.

No matter how the concubine is, she is also His Majesty's person, how can she be so angry?

When he was angry, he asked someone to tie her up.

But this is only temporary, the concubine is just to scare and scare her, and only plans to let her go back when the feast is over. ”

Since Zhao Yan refused to give in at half, she was not without words to refute.

Zhao Yan escaped the first year of junior high school, but she couldn't escape the fifteenth.

Left and right, Zhao Yan doesn't want to live.

She also has King Yong, in front of so many people, even if it is just to save some face for His Royal Highness King Yong, His Majesty should not treat her well.

"Is that so?" Emperor Qianyuan looked at Zhao Yan.

As soon as he looked at Zhao Yan, his eyes couldn't leave.

Zhou Yu clenched his fists, and his lips almost pursed into a straight line.

"Miss Zhao."

Before Zhao Yan could speak, King Yong spoke first.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, what do you have to teach you?" Zhao Yan looked at him with no fear.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at her with interest, although her appearance was very similar to Sheng Xue, her temperament was not like it at all.

Sheng Xue is naturally soft and weak, sad and sad, always soft to speak, will cry at the slightest thing, very afraid of seeing people, always hiding in the palace and not coming out.

And Zhao Yan, in front of so many people, was able to smile and speak to him, the emperor, without the slightest change in his face.

Besides, King Yong opened his mouth, if he changed others, he would definitely be a little nervous.

But he didn't notice the slightest nervousness in Zhao Yan.

He looked at Zhao Yan, and became more and more interested, Sheng Xue's daughter was a little interesting.

"No matter what, what the mother did today was wrong, and I will compensate you on behalf of the mother concubine." King Yong got up and arched his hand towards Zhao Yan.

"His Royal Highness King Yong, you're welcome." Zhao Yan smiled, noncommittal, and did not return the salute.

"Since my grandfather's family is gone, my mother has been thinking about them, and she has lost her sense of proportion for a while." King Yong continued: "But no matter how you say it, the Huai'an Hou Mansion was originally related to my grandfather's family.

Speaking of which, they are all a family, and Miss Zhao is invited to raise her noble hand. ”

When he spoke, he was very polite.

Looking at his father's eyes, he knew that his father had taken a fancy to Zhao Yan.

Looking at Zhou Yu again, he didn't avoid it at all today, and kept staring at Zhao Yu.

This Zhao Yan is not simple.

Don't offend.

The mother concubine is too, why don't you do things with him, and then get into trouble without permission?

It's a tricky one.

Concubine He looked at him, her hand hidden under her sleeve was clenched, she looked at her son's attitude, and knew that today's incident was wrong, but she was afraid that she had done something wrong.

"Miss Zhao."

What King Yong could see, naturally he couldn't hide from the prince's eyes.

The prince also stood up.

"What do you say?" He smiled and said: "That is with Ninghou Mansion, but it has something to do with Miss Zhao's stepmother, and it has nothing to do with Miss Zhao, not to mention that now, the Jiang family has already left the house, and it is not appropriate for King Yong to mention such a thing again."

The father and the emperor and the sons thought that although the concubine Niangniang was the mother of the palace, she should not use her power for personal gain and oppress others.

Today's events should still be explained clearly. ”

"What the prince said is very true." Emperor Qianyuan nodded, and looked at Zhao Yan again: "What do you say?" What Concubine He just said, but is it true? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, what Concubine He said just now is all nonsense, and I haven't heard half of it." Zhao Yan bowed and said unhurriedly: "I only know that Mama Jing called me to Concubine He, and Concubine He ordered a group of palace maids and eunuchs in her palace to tie me up."

Concubine Niangniang also said that the collapse of the Fuguo Mansion and the Marquis of Hening Mansion had something to do with me.

said that when I went to the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, I would go back to the palace to clean me up. ”

She said and turned her head to look at Concubine He: "Today, in front of Your Majesty and the civil and military officials, I want to ask Concubine Heniang."

I am a weak woman, and I still left the Fuguo Mansion and returned to the Huai'an Hou Mansion.

How can I, have such a great ability, let the two families be destroyed? ”

Her voice is soft, her tone is soft, although it is a question, but it is also like a spring breeze.

In the main hall, everyone's eyes fell on her, and the entire hall was silent.

"Bastard!" Emperor Qianyuan slapped the table.

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The ministers were shocked, and hurriedly got up and knelt down to persuade each other.

Zhao Yan also knelt down, but caught a glimpse of Zhou Yu sitting upright.

She remembered that Zhou Yu was different from others, and His Majesty had already exempted him from saluting.

"Concubine He, give me an explanation for this matter." Emperor Qianyuan looked at Concubine He, who was kneeling on the ground.
