Yun Ji blushed, she bit her lower lip, she was embarrassed by what she said, and deliberately turned her head to not answer his teasing words.

Tan Yuan first recruited people, and after some explanation, he said to Yun Ji:

"Follow him."

Yun Xi didn't know why, but Tan Yuanchu held the pen again and handled government affairs at the desk, Yun Ji was silent, didn't dare to disturb him, and silently followed the palace people away.

didn't leave the imperial study, but followed the palace people around, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, she entered the side hall.

The palace people respectfully: "Sister is waiting here, and the emperor will ask the servants to prepare something for you to eat." ”

The side hall is not small, there are screens, desks, chaise longues in it, incense is burning in the incense burner, white smoke is rising, it can be seen that Tan Yuanchu often rests here.

After the palace people finished speaking, they retreated, and Yun Xi hesitantly sat on the chaise longue.

She looked at everything in the hall, in fact, there were pastries on the desk, Yun Xi hesitated, picked up one and tasted it, the delicate taste of the sand overflowed her mouth, she couldn't help but think of the pastries sent by Changchun Palace that day, and compared it, it seemed that it was indeed a prominent point of Changchun Palace.

Rong Zhaoyi is favored, and there is a little princess under her knees, and she eats the best in the palace, and few people in the palace can compare.

The palace man came back soon, he seemed to be a little flustered and nervous, he brought rice porridge and refreshments, and there was a plate of cherries on the silver plate, before he put it down, and subconsciously looked up at Yun Xi.

Yun Xihu was suspicious: "What happened?" ”

After saying that, Yun Xi couldn't help but glance at the plate of cherries.

Cherries are precious, or scarce, it is difficult to grow in the capital, and it takes manpower and material resources to send them from afar, and they are rare in the palace, she is in the Central Provincial Palace, and Gonggong Liu secretly let her taste it, but she has not seen it in the Heyi Hall for nearly a year.

Yun Xi was very surprised that Lu Yuan would bring a plate of cherries.

Lu Yuan followed her line of sight and didn't answer her question immediately, but whispered: "Recently, a few baskets of cherries have just arrived in the palace, and they haven't been distributed to the harem master, Niangniang, who was ordered by the emperor to bring them to his sister." ”

Yun Ji was not surprised by this answer, she just didn't understand Lu Yuan's panic:

"What are you panicking about?"

What's going on out there? Yun Ji subconsciously looked outside.

Lu Yuan was a little dumbfounded, paused, lowered his head and said uncomfortably: "When the slave was delivering something to my sister, I saw Rong Zhaoyi's Luan driving coming this way. ”

Lu Yuan felt a little weird.

He has nothing to do with Yun Xi, but Yun Xi is a person in front of the palace, and she is ambiguous with the emperor, and the people in front of the palace also respect her as the master, but she has no serious reputation.

The emperor didn't give her a position, so they all had to pretend to be deaf and dumb and hide this matter for the emperor.

But she either followed the holy car to serve, or served in the hall, when the harem lady came, she could get the news as soon as possible, Lu Yuan didn't know what Sister Yun Ji thought, but he only felt uncomfortable.

Yun Xi was surprised, not because she felt that Rong Zhaoyi shouldn't come, but because Rong Zhaoyi came a little often.

It's only the beginning of June, and Rong Zhaoyi has been to the palace twice.

Yun Ji looked out of the eyes, and quickly sat down again, Tan Yuanchu asked her to come in to eat, she didn't move, what was it to hurry out when she heard Rong Zhaoyi's news?

I just don't care.

Yun Ji took a sip of rice porridge while holding the bowl, grabbed a handful of cherries and gave them to Lu Yuan by the way, and whispered:

"You sit down and eat, too."

Lu Yuan hesitated and took the cherry, this is a valuable thing, in addition to the emperor's reward, the palace people in front of the emperor basically can't eat it, but for Yun Xi's request to let him sit down, he shook his head in fright: "No, it's good for the slave to stand." ”

Seeing him like this, Yun Xi was not reluctant.

After drinking a bowl of rice porridge, she was basically full, but she didn't go out, but ate cherries and chatted with Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan sneaked up on her, a little surprised.

When the harem master Niangniang saw the emperor, it was like a wolf seeing meat, scrambling and grabbing without letting go, but Miss Yun Ji could sit still and was not in a hurry at all.

Not only was she not in a hurry, but she was also in the mood to chat with him, as if she was just an ordinary palace maid.

Lu Yuan muttered in his heart, he really had a big heart.

Outside the side hall, in the imperial study, Rong Zhaoyi took a guard of honor, and saw a person standing under the verandah, she was lazy, but she remembered the name of the person in the palace:

"Why are you staying here, Gonggong Xu?"

The people in the palace lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to say anything about the Heart Cultivation Palace, but said, "Gonggong Xu didn't follow." ”

Rong Zhaoyi raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, didn't ask in detail, simply answered, and chuckled:

"This palace wants to see the emperor, and my father-in-law will go in and report it."

The palace people soon came out and invited her in.

The door of the imperial study was pushed open, Rong Zhaoyi went in unhurriedly, and the palace maids stayed outside, hearing the movement, Tan Yuanchu was busy for a long time, tiredness appeared in his eyebrows, and asked lightly:

"What's coming?"

Rong Zhaoyi saluted vigorously, and her every move seemed to be full of style.

Tan Yuanchu bowed his head and let her get up, Rong Zhaoyi raised her eyes and looked at Tan Yuanchu with annoyance, with a little complaint in her tone:

"The emperor also asked."

"You promised the concubine that you would go to Changchun Palace today, Yu'er cried and wanted to see you, but the concubine couldn't be coaxed."

Her voice fell, and Tan Yuan Chu instantly understood her intention, the little princess was born today, and he promised Rong Zhaoyi that he would visit the little princess today two days earlier, but he was busy all day and didn't think about it.

It's just that Tan Yuan glanced at the hour at the beginning, and seemed to be smiling:

"Come at noon?"

Lunch is not used, the time is still early, what is she anxious about?

Rong Zhaoyi was not weak at all, she bent her eyes and smiled at Tan Yuanchu, stepped up the steps with her skirt, and muttered softly: "The emperor knows how to bully the concubines, the concubines just want to treat the emperor for a while, and when they return to Changchun Palace, the emperor will accompany Yu'er wholeheartedly, how can he take care of the concubines." ”

She glanced at the hall, a little surprised, she didn't see Yun Xi inside and outside the hall, and the emperor didn't bring anyone with him?

Rong Zhaoyi didn't show anything in his heart, and naturally stood by the side of the imperial case, trying to grind it for him.

Recently, this is what Yun Ji often does, and what he asked for at the beginning of the talk is famous, and the red sleeves add fragrance.

In fact, Yun Xi hadn't done much, Tan Yuanchu could see that although she had been a palace maid for three years, she had never done any work, and after only grinding for a while, her hands would be sore, and she couldn't help pinching her wrists.

But she will endure it, she always lowers her eyebrows and pleases her eyes and says nothing.

At first, Tan Yuan didn't notice anything wrong, but then he realized something when he saw her purse her lips and grind more and more slowly.

Later, this work was still taken over by others, and she only touched it occasionally.

Goodbye Rong Zhaoyi standing here, Tan Yuan was inevitably a little unaccustomed to the first time, he put down his pen, glanced at her, and said casually:

"Is this a grievance?"

Rong Zhaoyi saw him stop, and also put down the inkstone, covered her lips and smiled: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

I didn't dare to say it, but the look between my eyebrows and eyes was not like this.

At this time, people from the outer palace came in: "Your Majesty, Lord Shangshu asks to see you." ”

"Let him in."

Tan Yuanchu looked at Rong Zhaoyi, and his tone was light: "I will go to Changchun Palace in the evening." ”

The implication is that it is driving away customers.

Rong Zhaoyi shook her head, looking like she thought he would break his word, she was spoiled by him, and she didn't speak as cautiously as ordinary concubines:

"What if the emperor gets busy and forgets? The concubines do not follow, and the concubines have to go to the side hall to wait for the emperor. ”

Hearing the word partial hall, Tan Yuanchu's movements were stunned without a trace.

He wasn't afraid that Yun Xi and Rong Zhaoyi would bump into him, he just felt that Yun Xi would be uncomfortable and deliberately refused, but it was too late, there was a sound of pushing the door outside, Qiu Shangshu was about to come in, Rong Zhaoyi didn't notice his abnormality, and when she heard the movement, she said quickly: "The concubine is waiting for the emperor." ”

After the words fell, she turned around and carried her skirt into the side hall.

The bead curtain was lowered, and Tan Yuanchu rarely felt a little headache.

Qiu Shangshu had already arrived, and Tan Yuanchu had no choice but to concentrate on dealing with court affairs.

In the side hall, Rong Zhaoyi lifted the bead curtain, and the two people in the hall who heard the movement turned around, and they were a little stunned.

Yun Ji was sitting on the chaise longue, and Lu Yuan stood beside her and chatted with her, this scene was extremely leisurely, so leisurely that he didn't look like a slave at all.

Rong Zhaoyi thought like this, and the smile in her eyebrows faded a little.

Dealing with government affairs outside, and hiding the gold house inside?

Yun Ji sighed in her heart, and got up quickly, Lu Yuan was afraid that she would be unstable, so he helped her, she and Lu Yuan stepped forward and respectfully obeyed and asked for peace, their voices were very small, for fear of disturbing the outside.

Behind the two, the chaise longue shook slightly.

Yun Ji was constantly annoyed in her heart, she knew that there would be such a scene, and she couldn't go to sit on that chaise longue.

She even complained a little about Tan Yuanchu, he let her in to eat, why did he let Rong Zhaoyi come?

Lu Yuan felt that the atmosphere in the hall was solid, and said that it was not embarrassing or nervous, he didn't dare to raise his head, and he regretted it a little, he should have hurried out after finishing his errand, otherwise he would not have bumped into this scene.

Lu Yuan kept praying in his heart, don't let anything happen, he can't afford to offend any of these two ancestors.

The side hall was quiet for a long time, and Rong Zhaoyi finally spoke:

"So you two are hiding here."

She raised her hand to cover her lips lightly, as if she didn't care at all about the scene she had just seen, but she had to say that Yun Xi and Lu Yuan were both imperceptibly relieved.

Rong Zhaoyi asked them to get up, and Yun Ji and Lu Yuan stood up, their attitudes becoming more and more respectful.

Rong Zhaoyi stepped forward and glanced at the situation in the hall, she had been to this side hall more than once or twice, naturally there was nothing to see, she looked at the table next to the chaise longue, especially the plate of cherries on the table that had not been eaten.

Her eyes darkened without a trace.

Changchun Palace hasn't seen this year's cherries yet, but she saw them here today, and was tasted leisurely by a palace maid.

A bowl of rice porridge, a cup of refreshments, and a plate of cherries.

If some concubines see it, I am afraid that they will be so jealous and bloody in their hearts, and how many unfavored concubines have never tasted what cherries taste like at all.

As if inspecting, when her eyes fell on the desk, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and then looked at Yun Xi, she hooked her lips and smiled.

I didn't do anything, but my demeanor was careless and condescending.

Yun Xi trembled her eyelids, she couldn't tell what she was feeling now, but an indescribable embarrassment and shame came up, it seemed that something that couldn't see the light suddenly saw the light, so she could only hang her head fiercely, allowing people to look at it unscrupulously.

Lu Yuan had some cold sweat on his forehead, he and Yun Ji stood very close, and he could see that Yun Ji's lips were a little pale, but his eyebrows and eyes were a little angry.
