Chapter 17 The Queen Mother's People
Yun Heng came back early in the morning, and the second lady hurriedly went up to pick up her clothes to greet him. She patted her head, feeling very tired.
The second lady was very puzzled. What kind of trouble did she encounter? She even slapped her on the head, "Master, have you encountered any trouble?"
"It's okay, I just always feel like my mind is blank. Is there something wrong?" The minister of the DPRK fawned over him and congratulated him, leaving him completely confused.
Where does this joy come from?
Ever since he learned that Mu Yixue's daughter had returned, he had been upset and didn't know how to face the abandoned daughter. For more than ten years, he didn't know what she would look like.
Not only him, but also the second lady felt the same way. She didn't know why her mind was blank. However, when she saw the face that was similar to Mu Yixue, she wanted to tear off her charming face.
"Master, Eunuch Han has come to deliver the imperial edict again." At this time, the servant Feng Feng came in and came again, "Nanny Guan is here."
What’s more? Yun Heng and the Second Madam were shocked. Could it be that this was not the first time that Eunuch Han came to convey the imperial edict, but they had no memory of it at all.
Isn’t Grandma Guan from the Queen Mother’s Palace? Why did she come with you? What’s the reason for coming here this time?
Yun Heng and the second lady split into two groups, quickly tidied up, took off their official uniforms, put on casual clothes, and headed to the front hall.
Sure enough, Eunuch Han was in the hall. When he saw him, his lips could not hide the sarcasm. Yun Heng was even more confused. He didn't know when he had offended the eunuch of the palace.
"Come here, prepare tea for your father-in-law." Yun Heng quickly ordered his servants to prepare tea. He didn't hear the imperial edict being read out for a long time. Yun Heng could only lick his face and said bravely, "Eunuch Han, please read out the imperial edict!"
Xuanyuan Han glanced at him with an expression like a fool, "Hey! It's only been a day..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Jinhuang came over quickly to interrupt, "Eunuch Han, the weather is nice today, would you like to come to my house to taste the flower and fruit tea that I made by hand?"
Flower and fruit tea? Xuanyuan Han's eyes shone and he smiled cheerfully, "The Sixth Princess's hospitality is so gracious. Our family is very grateful to the Sixth Princess."
This girl really didn't give him many surprises. Flower and fruit tea, hmm! It sounds pretty good, it should be better than the tea in the palace.
Apart from his status, Emperor Joan of Arc did not miss out on anything that a prince should enjoy or be given. Whether it was from the Western Regions or other countries paying tribute, he tasted everything, except the flower and fruit tea that Yun Jinhuang mentioned.
He had a rough life and never had any lofty ambitions. He was only very motivated about eating.
"Let's go, let's go." Xuanyuan Han urged, not caring about so many people and walking at the front.
What's happening here?
Aren't you here to convey the imperial edict? You just deceived the father-in-law who was conveying the imperial edict away with a false promise of some flower and fruit tea.
Yun Heng was stunned on the spot for a moment, and everyone in the court knew that Han Wen was deeply favored by the emperor and loved to eat delicious food from all over the world, but he was on business at the moment, so why was he called away.
Behind the second lady, an old woman appeared from Yun Jinhuang and looked at her secretly, with many thoughts in her mind. The orphan girl who used to be timid and fearful of life has now easily managed to get the most trusted person around the emperor. What must be on this little girl's mind.
Returning to the house, the second lady closed the door and asked, "Why are you here? But what did your aunt say?"
The old woman's surname was Guan. She entered the palace with the Queen Mother when she was young. Because of her vicious and cruel methods and the Queen Mother's love, she was like a duck to water in front of the female eunuchs in the harem, and she was arrogant and domineering.
"The Queen Mother is worried about Miss Nephew, so she asked the old slave to follow Miss Nephew." If she hadn't come here today, she wouldn't have known that the third young lady was so worried.
"Auntie is interested." With Aunt Guan's help, everything becomes much easier.
Aunt Guan whispered in the ear of the second lady, "You have to be careful of the third lady, this little girl is extraordinary."
The second lady was surprised that Aunt Guan's cautiousness could make the always arrogant and domineering Nanny Guan reach this point, which showed that Yun Jinhuang gave her an unusual feeling.
However, Yun Jinhuang made her feel an invisible pressure. Ever since she went to see her, she was always frightened. Her deep eyes seemed to be able to see everything in the world, which made her feel guilty.
Thinking about the jade pendant hidden in my waist, I became more and more restless.
"Not bad, really good. Where did you learn this skill?" Xuanyuan Han kept praising after drinking the scented tea made by Yun Jinhuang.
"Self-taught." Yun Jinhuang raised an eyebrow, "Want to?"
Xuanyuan Han nodded repeatedly, full of flattery, "Yeah! Beautiful girls are good at their crafts."
"Then do me a favor."
Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, and if it is made by a beautiful girl, it is even more elusive.
Xuanyuan Han wrinkled his face, looked at the flowers and fruits exposed in the cup, and then looked at the bag of flower and fruit tea that Yun Jinhuang kept swinging, swallowed, and felt worried.
"Say it!" I hope it's not difficult.
"It's very simple. It's not a difficult thing for you." Yun Jinhuang said slowly, "Just let people spread the word in the palace that Yun Heng is afraid of power and henpeck, and his biological children are living under someone else's roof."
"What? Just a little thing." But why?
This may seem like a small thing, but if you let it go, something might explode.
Since ancient times, wherever there are women, there are often hidden secrets. What's more, the old Queen Mother in the palace can't rest and wants to find someone to visit her. Why doesn't she give him a gift in return?
I heard from Yimo that the old queen mother was very protective of the baby. Since she was protective of the baby, she would loosen her muscles and bones. The old woman following the second lady, Mrs. Li, was obviously not approachable and hostile to strangers. I really thought she was looking at her.
blind.
"Okay, let's go back first. This imperial edict..."
"You know, it's the same sentence, don't answer." She gave him the flower and fruit tea, "Isn't the emperor very free, writing every day, aren't you tired?"
"Our family doesn't dare to interfere with the emperor's affairs, and we can't."
"Yeah?"
Yun Jinhuang's meaningful smile made Xuanyuan Han couldn't help but shiver. This little girl was really a perfect match for that one. It would have been better if she didn't smile. When she smiled, she got goosebumps just thinking about it.
After chatting for a while, Xuanyuan Han quickly took the young eunuch back to the palace to resume his duties.
At the Night Palace, Xuanyuan Wuxin woke up slowly. His eyes were red and he smelled of alcohol. He frowned and shook his head. Since he came back from Yun Jinhuang, he was in a depressed mood and drank several jars of wine at once.
When did his self-control become so bad?
What is that heartless little thing doing now? Do you miss him? Probably not! Otherwise, I wouldn’t let him marry another person.
Xuanyuan Wuxin was very depressed. He had already expressed his feelings to her, so why did she always want to give him women? Didn't she exist in her heart?
When he heard that someone from the Yewang Mansion came to report that Xuanyuan Wuxin had not left the house for several days and had locked himself in the house, Xuanyuan Wumo hurried over.
"Ye'er, why did you drink so much wine?" Xuanyuan Wumo frowned when he smelled the smell of alcohol when he walked into the room.
