Hearing the news that Yu Yang fainted in the hall of An Ming Building, Mrs. Qingning stood up from her chair in shock, and hurriedly asked, "Fainted?" How long did you get dizzy? How about now? ”

"It didn't take long for Lord Yi to wake up quickly, and he didn't seem to feel any discomfort."

Obviously, it sounded like reassuring news, but Mrs. Qingning was even more worried.

After everyone retreated, only her personal maid Shuran was left to accompany her, she held her forehead, and sighed distressedly: "The high priest said that if you want to save her, you have to send her to Yayu City, but ...... This had to make Her Majesty aware of her existence earlier. ”

"Didn't you let Miss Yuyang live in that room just to get everyone's attention to her?" Shuran asked.

Mrs. Qingning sighed: "I deliberately test the attitude of several of them towards Yuyang, especially the attitudes of Xingzhe, Ling Tian and Yefeng. Still, it's only in this Ryan City, where I can control it, but ...... If she goes to the royal city, there must be many variables. ”

Shuran poured her a cup of hot tea, hoping to calm her down, and said with relief: "Having said that, after all, it is the order of the high priest, don't say it's you, even Your Majesty must not disobey, if it comes, it will be safe, and when she sees the high priest, there will be a turnaround." ”

Mrs. Qingning took the teacup and asked, "What time is it today?" ”

"March 30th, April soon."

"April...... It's not easy to drag on until now......" Thinking of this, Qing Ning let out a long sigh and closed his eyes in distress.

The maid came up to her and said to her, "There is one more thing to tell you. The Fourth Young Master had been hiding his identity from Lord Yi before, and today he confessed to her, and Lord Yi and the Fourth Young Master seemed to be very close. ”

Madame heard the worry in Shuran's tone, waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, that's what I intended." ”

"But ......" Shuran hesitated, not knowing whether to remind Qingning.

"If you have something to say, say it."

Even with Qing Ning's permission, Shu Ran hesitated for a moment before daring to speak: "After all, Young Master Ling Tian is the candidate for the crown prince appointed by His Majesty, if he is aware of the identity of Lord Yi, will he ...... Bad for I-sama? ”

In response to such speculation, Mrs. Qingning replied decisively without even thinking: "No." ”

Shu Ran, who has followed Qing Ning for more than 40 years, already knew that she would answer like this, and what he was worried about was Qing Ning's almost unconditional trust in Ling Tian, Shu Ran sighed and said: "Madam, you believe in your child, but this is the royal power after all, the absolute power above you, the monarch of the tens of millions of subjects, Young Master Ling Tian...... Will he really willingly give up the throne as king? Madame probably didn't like to hear these words of mine, and felt harsh, but ...... For the prosperity and stability of Wanting for the next hundred years, you have to think in the role of a courtier rather than a mother. ”

Mrs. Qingning frowned, Shuran's words were indeed harsh, but she also had to listen to these piercing suspicions, after all, it was royal power.

Shuran continued: "Not only for the sake of the common people, but Madam also has to think about it, in case Young Master Ling Tian is officially canonized as His Royal Highness the Prince and sits in the position of the prince, when Miss Yuyang returns to her position, Young Master Ling Tian is the deposed prince, how difficult will his situation be...... Moreover, this is our wishful thinking that everything is going well, how can you be sure that Miss Yuyang will definitely become the prince? Maybe in the end...... They will be the two sides of the royal struggle, killing each other, you will live and die......"

Regarding the worries about book dyeing, Qingning has her own considerations, she said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but I have already tried my best to lay it out." Changqin is a legitimate candidate for the prince, and today he has become the concubine of the neighboring king, and there is no possibility of succession; Xingzhe has the highest prestige, but he does not have the slightest spiritual power, and he cannot threaten anyone's existence; Ling Tian is the strongest, but he doesn't have enough prestige because of my suppression; Needless to say, the twins never gave them any chance of becoming kings. Shuran, you have followed me for so many years, you should understand that I have done my best to decentralize the layout, and no one can threaten Yuyang's position, this is my calculation as a courtier, but ...... In any case, as a mother, I wish I could have the power to trust my children, especially Ling Tian. I will certainly protect them from becoming rivals who kill each other. ”

Following Qingning all the way, she is naturally very clear about her layout, but she also has a lot of puzzles, and now that she has opened her mouth, she can also bluntly express her doubts: "Madame's intentions, others don't say, subordinates are naturally the most understandable, but subordinates still have nothing to understand." Your Majesty has already promised you that he will not have a child of his own, and that he will let your child become the prince, why did you bring back Miss Yuyang? You have worked hard for most of your life, and how much hardship you have endured to get to where you are today, should you give it up like this? ”

When it came to this, Mrs. was silent, and after a long time, she muttered to herself: "Who knows, what is it for most of my life......"

The next day, Yuyang got up much earlier than yesterday, asked the maid to arrange a car, and came to Yayu City early.

The car was still parked outside Yayu City, Yuyang was not wearing an official uniform, but simply wearing a Yao costume that was no different from an ordinary maid, and when he arrived at the main gate of Yayu City, he showed the token of the Garment Bureau obtained yesterday, and walked to the Garment Bureau according to the route in his memory.

It was still early, and there was no one walking around in Yayu City except for the guards standing guard, and in the quiet spring day, Yuyang finally had some thoughts on the flowers and plants on the side of the road, which was the result of the careful cultivation of the best gardeners in the royal city, step by step, the air was full of fresh fragrance.

When she walked to the garment bureau, even the female officer in charge of answering questions at the door had not yet arrived, and the garment bureau was empty.

As soon as she arrived at the staircase, Yu Yang found a person standing in front of her seat, and when she looked at it, it was Luo Lan, the director of the Garment Bureau, who was looking at the sketch that Yu Yang didn't put away last night.

Yu Yang hurriedly put away his brisk steps, sorted out his clothes, hurriedly recalled the standard salute posture in his mind, nervously walked to the distance three steps behind Luo Lan, clasped his knuckles with both hands, supported the two fingers above the navel, and half-squatted his head and asked, "Xiaguan has seen the master in charge." ”

Luo Lan still looked at the half-way practice pattern she had drawn, and ordered her: "Get up, there is no dignity in the garment bureau, and there is no need to salute me." ”

"The lower officials don't dare." Yu Yang got up, seeing that she didn't have that glass-like thing in front of her eyes today, this woman in her sixties had a temperament that she could rely on, maybe because of worship, Yu Yang's heart was pounding.

Luo Lan put down the pattern in his hand, shook his head, and didn't say anything, just looked at Yu Yang, and didn't know what to do. Luo Lan just wanted to open his mouth to evaluate her pattern, but after thinking about it, he gave up, and only asked her: "Why do you learn to make Yao costumes?" ”

"Because I think it's a very precious thing to be able to help us civilians make a few sets of Yao costumes for a lifetime." Yu Yang replied cautiously, but as soon as the words fell, Luo Lan snorted softly and said, "So, what is the garment bureau in this Yayu King City at the moment?" ”

"I ......" Hearing her most admired master question herself, her heart suddenly felt aggrieved and sour, she really never thought of designing Yao clothes for any nobles, but now the person standing in the position of Mrs. Qingning's clothing and decoration official is none other than herself, who only likes to help civilians design Yao clothes.

Yu Yang cares about Luo Lan very much and wants to explain it well, but at the moment, he really doesn't know where to start, and even if he says more, he is quite suspicious of quibbles.

She had to reply, "Yes...... Xia Guan knew very well in his heart that I was in this position, and I was really guilty. ”

"If only you understood." Luo Lan was not polite to her, "Maybe you got into this position because of Madame's momentary appreciation, or maybe you do have skills that I don't know, no matter what, when you come here, you must be a qualified clothing officer worthy of the name." ”

"Xiaguan understands that Xiaguan will definitely follow Lord Shi Yan to study hard, and he will definitely not live up to the teachings of Lord Shi today."

"Don't coax me with these delicate sweet words, I'll just see the results, I'll come back next week, and if you can't trace these tricks, don't blame me for being rude." Luo Lan dropped a sentence and walked towards her room, although these words were cold and ruthless, Yu Yang still felt a flame lit by Luo Lan in her heart, she laughed, cheered up and replied to Luo Lan who had walked away: "Thank you, Lord Principal, Xia Guan will definitely do it!" ”

Luo Lan was unhappy on her face, but she really felt her enthusiasm in her heart - when she saw that Yu Yang had a large number of copying exercises on her desk, she had done two or three times the amount of others in just one day, which showed her calmness and hard work. Luo Lan hadn't seen such a diligent but hard-working child for a long time, and there was a complicated little joy in his heart.

Luo Lan walked to the window at the door of the room, inadvertently glanced at it, and found that there were more than ten white uniformed royal city guards downstairs, looking around, and found that the garment bureau had already been surrounded by the imperial guards, and she looked keenly at Yuyang, who was still talking to herself just now, at this moment, she was already full of energy and concentrated in her position and began to practice copying patterns, and did not notice Luo Lan's gaze.

Seeing this battle, Luo Lan's heart beat a drum - what was happening now seemed to be becoming more and more abnormal.

Before Mrs. Qingning openly recruited clothing officials, there was no such official position in the hundred officials of Ruian City, Mrs. Qingning was a princess of the royal family, and her clothes had always been designed by Luo Lan, who represented the highest level of Wanting, and after more than ten years of getting along, Luo Lan knew that Mrs. Qingning was not a mediocre person, and it was impossible to choose such a skilled newcomer to take on this important position at will.

Who is this man? For the first time, Luo Lan realized that he might have thought too simply.
