Chapter 110: A Sudden Bite of Dog Food
ure, with long hair and a red robe, elegant and noble, crowded into his mind.A smile unconsciously curved her lips. She wondered what the Yanhuagong Palace in the palace was like; if she had the chanc...After the New Year, I'll go back.
He told Quan Qingsheng, "Just before the Shangyuan Festival..." 。Qingcheng, you are the emperor now. It's different from before. You have to be a good emperor. No matter where I am, your fourth brother will always be proud of you. 。"Why do you have to go back Fourth brother, Prince Guiyue returned to his country months ago. I've ascended the throne and haven't asked for another princess from Guiyue, so you don't need to return." 。Even if there are new protons in the future, they should be my children, not yours, Fourth Brother. 。>> 。At that time, the Empress Dowager's marriage was intended to bring good fortune to her father, the emperor. However, it failed to do so. The Duke of Su's mansion was stained with blood, and the emperor died that very night. 。"Your Majesty, don't think about these things. Empress Dowager has invited you to have a meal together. Let's go to Changxin Palace!" Ye Wenyan living in Yanhuagong wasn't leaked out. Although many people knew about it, everyone tacitly agreed to keep it a secret, including Empress Dowager Li and the maid Baochan. 。
Li Taizi was a smart woman, she knew that once this matter was exposed, it would mean that no one in the world could control Ye Wenyan anymore, because no one dared to openly oppose the Emperor. 。Not only would they not do the right thing, but they would also fawn over Ye Wenyan instead, even transferring the fear and reverence they had for the Emperor onto him. 。She couldn't let this happen, or her and her son's situation would become even more awkward. Even with the support of the Regent Prince, it would be impossible to find a breakthrough under the Emperor's overwhelming presence. 。Not only should one not reveal it to outsiders, but also not to one's own people, including even a first-rank general's mansion. 。No matter to what extent the General's Mansion now guessed about Ye Wenyan's reliance, she had to divert the topic, even if it was toward Yun Chen! As long as she could get away from the Emperor, relying on the old lady of the General's Mansion's dislike for Ye Wenyan, they would try every means to get rid of that granddaughter. 。Even if she had to, she wouldn't allow anyone from the General's Manor to get their hands dirty. 。Ye Wenyan stayed in Yanhuagong from the fifteenth to the nineteenth day of December. Although it was only a few days, she felt the sensation of retirement. To the point that she even looked forward to becoming Shi Lifen's empress. 。After all, if life continues like this, it will be the ideal she has yearned for in both her past and present lives, yet never achieved. 。Unfortunately, life couldn't stay calm forever. She would eventually have to return to the General's Mansion, face people she disliked, and uncover the truth about herself and her predecessor. 。But just like Shi Li Yuan, she would accept whatever came. With some time still left until the Grand Ceremony, she could stay in Yan Hua Palace for a while longer, enjoy more of Shi Li Yuan's cooking, and gaze upon his magnificent beauty. 。The Imperial Palace of Eternal Glory wasn't usually strict in its regulations, because the Emperor didn't like crowds. So the palace maids who served there didn't have to enter the hall every day to pay their respects. 。But ever since Ye Wen arrived, things were different. Every morning, she came into the hall with a retinue of palace maids, kneeling respectfully before her and greeting her as "Fourth Sister Ye." Afterward, they would replace all the decorations in the hall with fresh sprigs of plum blossoms. 。Shi Li Yuan often burns the incense "Jiang Zhen Xiang" because Ye Wen Yan likes its smell. Therefore, even when he was in time, he specially changed the fragrance of Xun Yi Chang to "Jiang Zhen Xiang", and had Zhuai Er burn it daily before sending it to Ye Wen Yan to change and wash. 。The newly established plum garden has been fully planted, and the palace people are all taking good care of it. If any plants don't survive, they are immediately replaced, and if any grow irregularly, they are immediately pruned. 。Since the elder sister has always been occupied by the Emperor, the two of them are either playing chess or chatting, so as a maid, Zhu'er always feels like she is going to be out of a job. She lives in fear every day, worried about being driven off Yanhua Mountain. 。When she was in a good mood, she would take the maidservant with her wherever she went and often comfort her: "Do you feel like you've been abandoned by your mistress" The maidservant was so angry that she rolled her eyes. 。Then he persuaded again, “It’s nothing, just get used to it. We've been in Yanhuagong for so many years, we mostly play by ourselves. The master doesn't usually need us to do anything, and even the daily cleaning is done directly with cleaning spells.” 。So you're still better than us palace slaves at least. 。“What if you don't need me anymore after that” Zhuier still worried. “Looking at this situation, it seems unlikely that your elder sister will need a maid once she marries the Divine Lord, so what should I do”Lian Shi said: “It’s impossible that you won’t be needed, but with the Divine Lord around, it’s indeed difficult to get close to your elder sister.” 。But it's alright, even if you can't get close. Sister Four still needs a maidservant by her side. For example, if Sister Four wants to leave the palace for a stroll, she can't bring two eunuchs, right So you're still useful, just a little less... lively. 。"It's alright, you'll be with us from now on. Yanhuagong has never had a palace maid before, you are the only one, and you can eat delicious food! Look, although we are eunuchs, at least we are half men. With men around, we won't let women do any work, so you basically don't have to do anything, just chat." 。And moreover, the palace maids in Yanhuagong dress better than those in the imperial palace. Their regulations are stricter, and living here allows you to be as carefree as a young lady from a wealthy family outside the palace walls. 。"I don't want to be the eldest sister," Zhuier shivered, "I'm still hoping to learn martial arts and practice brick-breaking!" "I'll teach you!" Lian Shi was delighted upon hearing this, "This isn't hard at all. As for other things, I might not be good at them, but I can certainly show you some moves." 。On the evening of the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Ye Wen stepped out of the palace. 。Without anyone accompanying her, she concealed her figure and stealthily left Yanhuashan Mountain, exited the palace, and headed straight for the residence of the first-rank general. 。At that time, Yun Chen was accompanying the Emperor in a game of chess. 。He used to play chess often, he wouldn't come, at least every three or five days, he had to come back once, and every time he lost. 。This loss wasn't because he intentionally let the Emperor lose; he just couldn't match the Emperor's skill. 。After all, it's been over four hundred years of honing his skills. How could a twenty-five-year-old junior possibly compare 。So, Your servant has grown accustomed to losing. Coming here means only being abused; he never even thought about winning. 。The result was truly beyond my expectations. I've never won a game before, but today I lost the first one completely to him. 。Yun Chen was dumbfounded. The Emperor usually could even win with his eyes closed, so what was wrong with him todayHe mustered his courage and asked timidly, “Your Majesty, are you alright” Shi Li Yuan raised an eyelid, “What could possibly be wrong with me”“If you’re fine, then...how...how did you still lose”“Oh, I've gotten used to losing these days...” 。“ Yúnchén:“……” Alright, caught off guard and fed another mouthful of dog food. 。This 25-year-old bachelor, what on earth possessed him to join this lively gathering "Then are we still going down" He didn't want to go any further. He wanted to return to the Qinian prison. The atmosphere of this Yanhuagong palace was simply not suitable for him. 。But the Emperor wouldn't let him leave, "Continue" 。“
Then, a new game was started.
He lost this game, but he didn't lose as gracefully as before. 。"Then, 。For ten rounds like this, Ye Wen still hadn't returned...She's carrying the child of the Quan family, why would she choose to die with the childThat's right, kid!She remembered, immediately covering her stomach with her hand and whimpering in pain.Even Cui...
