Zhou Jieyu saw the emperor coming up, and hurriedly got up and saluted. As soon as the buttocks were raised, the emperor said with concern: "Jieyu sit down, don't be formal." As soon as his words fell, he was pulled back by the noble concubine and sat down.

The emperor looked at Wan Ning, saw that she was still restrained, and said, "Wan Ning, you should also get up." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, are you protecting this girl like this?"

"Although she was of noble birth, she was also from a middle-class family. is now Zhou Jieyu's maid, and Jieyu's presence can't make her face unbearable. ”

The queen mother persuaded the emperor: "Zhou Jieyu, the emperor likes it, and she is pregnant with a dragon son, so she is also a royal person now." But Li Wanning, this woman entered the palace for a purpose. The chicken tried in vain to Si Chenxiao, and when he shook my Datang foundation, he would regret it too late. ”

"Chickens are trying to Si Chenxiao? The noble concubine is serious, she is just a little girl. ”

The emperor seemed to hear something, and these words were definitely not something that the noble concubine could say. It's just that her loyalty to the court is beyond doubt. Indeed, this kind of thing would rather pass than have the slightest hint.

He glanced at the noble concubine, and she was displeased. Perhaps she also sensed that her words were a little too much, and turned silent.

The emperor realized that between these two women, he should be a peacemaker: "According to my understanding of Wanning, she and the noble concubine should be very compatible, is there any misunderstanding between you?" I can't believe hearsay. ”

Wan Ning knew that what the noble concubine said today was probably not her original intention, she might have been used by others, and she was thinking about the royal family. The emperor said that two people can get along, that is, they can get along, and she believes in the emperor. took a step forward and said, "Back to the emperor, the concubine thinks about the overall situation, and the slave and maid do not complain." However, the slave maid believed that the noble concubine was an upright person. If she knew the cause of her father's death and the injustice she suffered after her death, she would have been considerate of the slave. ”

Wan Ning's words comforted the emperor, and he tried to remind the noble concubine: "Noble concubine, look, this girl is a little different from what you imagined, and she may not know each other yet." If you really don't feel at ease with her, you should look at this girl more in the future. ”

The noble concubine gradually changed her mind about Wanning, and did not speak again, but seemed to be closer to Zhou Jieyu.

At the end of the day, the emperor instructed: "Zhou Jieyu is pregnant, and she has accompanied the concubine again, are you tired?" Wan Ning took her back to rest. ”

Wan Ning immediately replied: "Obey." ”

When she came back to see the concubine, Wanning's heart could be described as ups and downs. She understood that this time she was going to the palace of the noble concubine to be trained. I don't know who she listened to provoke, and her words were so cruel that they were terrifying. Now that I think about it, thanks to the presence of the emperor, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass this level.

And the emperor relieved Wanning in front of the noble concubine, he was very proud, and he kept thinking about finding Wanning to ask for credit. After a few days, he had free time and came to Yunyan Pavilion. In addition, last time, Wan Ning cooked for him with his own hands, served him with food in person, and treated him gently, and he tasted the sweetness in the side hall. In the past few days, I have been thinking about Wanning's side hall.

After staying with Zhou Jieyu for a while, she came to the side hall. As soon as the emperor entered the door, Wan Ning smelled a body of wine: "Your Majesty, have you drunk?" ”

"Well, I just had a few drinks with a few courtiers before the banquet dispersed."

"Drinking hurts your body, Your Majesty, you should rest more."

"Don't worry, it's just a few taels, my amount of wine is good!"

When the emperor said this, he did not let Wan Ning relax. The emperor must have drunk good wine, and he has a lot of stamina. He didn't feel it when he finished drinking, maybe the strength of the wine was still behind.

After the emperor entered the house, he still sat in the old place, while Wan Ning sat stupidly opposite.

"Wanning, are you going to sit with me like this?"

"The slave was going to play chess with you, but because you were drinking, you won't play. Why don't you have a slave to talk to you? ”

"Say what?"

Wan Ning deliberately sighed: "Yes! When the people are rich, politically stable, culturally prosperous, the monarch and the people are harmonious, and the people are obeyed, there is really nothing to say. Slaves and maids can't control these big things, so let's talk about our own affairs. The slave wanted to know when his uncle would be released from prison. ”

"Wanning, is this what you should ask?"

"The slave is guilty. The slave admitted that she really hated her uncle in the past, because the Gao family and the Li family had a relationship, and what he did was really sad. However, the uncle has been dismissed from his post and received the punishment he deserves, and the slave still hopes that he can live a stable life in the future and enjoy the joy of family. ”

The Emperor still did not answer her, only a moment of silence. After a while, he turned his head to look out the window, and there was no one in the courtyard, and his gaze was glazed.

I only heard Wan Ning say leisurely: "Standing on the top of the mountain, it seems to look down on the world, and no one shares that sense of loneliness." In contrast, it was happier to look up at the top of the mountain at the foot of the mountain. ”

Wan Ning's words didn't come to the emperor, and he didn't know in his heart. I saw that the emperor was stunned for a while, and stretched out his hand to signal Wanning to stand beside him. Originally, Wanning was standing far away, but the distance was forcibly shortened by the emperor. Two feet, the emperor felt that this distance, Wan Ning could accept it, and it seemed that he respected her very much.

The Emperor stared at her for a long time, then turned his face away, as if feeling uncomfortable, and he propped his head up with one hand. Wan Ning realized from his misty eyes that the alcohol was already working in his body.

"Wanning, make me a cup of green tea."

"Is it okay for the slave to make a cup of Dongting Biluo Spring for the emperor?"

"Okay." The emperor looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.
