From then on, Ye Yinglan and Sun Moer always ran to Cen Yunchu's palace whenever they had something to do.
Linxi was unhappy and said to Fulan: "What do those two mean? How can anyone borrow a book and read it in a day and a half and exchange it?"
You still don’t know what to do and just asked with one sentence, do you think that our lady is a teacher?
It is obvious that the drunkard is not interested in drinking, because the emperor often comes to our lady's place, and the two of them always run here."
"That's what they mean, but if our lady doesn't receive her, she will be called stingy.
Others are fine, but the Queen has no way of explaining it." Fulan said, "Which person in this palace doesn't have eight hundred scheming minds?
On the surface, I praise our queen like a fairy, but I don’t know how to curse her in my heart!
But we also have to make up our mind, and we just need to know everything in our heart, without showing it on our face.
We don't have to let people take advantage of us and use the opportunity to beat us. We are not afraid of embarrassment, but we can't do it if we hurt my queen's dignity."
Just as they were talking, the two people came hand in hand again, and when they met Fulan and Linxi, they called them sisters.
"Don't take it seriously. We are just slaves. Just call the two ladies by their first names." Fulan and Linxi said hurriedly.
If the other person is too kind, you have to be careful about flattering him or killing him.
"Can Miss Cen have some free time now?" Ye Yinglan asked, "I painted a few freehand strokes and would like to ask her for advice."
"Your Majesty is arranging flowers, please come in." Fulan said, walking over and opening the Xiang bamboo curtain.
Cen Yunchu had just planted a vase of flowers, with mushrooms and willows hanging out, giving it a very sparse and elegant feel.
"Your Majesty is really a wise woman. A flower placed casually looks different. It's more lively than the one in the painting." Sun Mo'er looked around the vase of flowers several times and was full of praise.
She didn't seem to know that her aunt Ruifei and Cen Yunchu were not on good terms, so she came here whenever she had something to do.
And Cen Yunchu didn't seem to embarrass her because of this, he just regarded her as a little girl.
"I really want to look at this vase of flowers all day long, as if I have no worries at all when I look at it.
It seems that I have forgotten everything, and seems to have remembered many things." Ye Yinglan sighed several times facing the vase of flowers, feeling very nostalgic.
Cen Yunchu knew very well that they came here frequently and tried their best to flatter him, just to meet the emperor more by chance.
"The weather is nice today, why don't we go for a walk outside and don't let down the good weather." Cen Yunchu said with a smile.
The two people hurriedly echoed: "Okay, okay, my wife is knowledgeable and talented. By staying with you, even the scenery that I am used to seeing can be a little bit new."
"Linxi, take those two parrots and let them go for a walk." Cen Yunchu seemed to be in a very good mood today.
These parrots were well raised, and Cen Yunchu would play with them for a while every day.
Several new scenes were added to the imperial garden. Cen Yunchu and the others walked around for a while and then sat down in a pavilion.
"This place is good. It's cool and open thanks to the water." Ye Yinglan said with a smile, "Your Majesty is really good at choosing places."
"There is a chessboard here, let's play a game." Sun Mo'er said, "I wonder if your Majesty is interested in it?"
She is very conceited at chess.
"You two, let's play, I'll watch the battle." Cen Yunchu said, "Let's see who has the better move."
Ye Yinglan and Sun Moer played chess, while Cen Yunchu watched quietly.
After more than ten eggs were laid, Fulan came over and said, "Where is Shui Zhaoyi? Do you want to go over there?"
After hearing this, Cen Yunchu said: "You two continue playing chess! I will go over and say a few words and then come back."
The two people also asked: "How about we go over to say hello? Otherwise it would be rude."
"You two, let's have some fun. Shui Zhaoyi never cares about this." Cen Yunchu said as he got out of the pavilion, took Fulan's hand and walked away.
Shui Zhaoyi was admiring the flowers there, and it was very interesting to see a pair of white butterflies dancing on the flowers.
Seeing Cen Yunchu coming over, he smiled and said, "Sister Yun is here too. The material you are wearing is really nice. Is it dragon scale gauze?"
There was no hint of jealousy in her tone, she simply thought the material looked good.
"It should be so. I didn't ask in detail. If sister likes it, ask Fulan to find one and send it to you." Cen Yunchu said generously.
"Since it's Sister Yun's kindness, I won't refuse. Thank you very much." Shui Zhaoyi said happily.
"I once went to southern Xinjiang when I was thirteen years old," Cen Yunchu said. "The banana forests there are very beautiful and the weather is really hot."
When Shui Zhaoyi heard her mention her hometown, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and then she became a little sad: "I had been in the palace for many years when you went there, and I still often dream about the banana forest."
"Everyone in the world says that vegetation is merciless. Who would have thought that it wasn't the banana forest that made me miss my empress?" Cen Yunchu said.
"Sister Yun, you are a very smart person, and you are also extremely beautiful.
The future fortune is far superior to mine, so you don’t need to please me too much.
I have no real power in this palace, and I have no allies, so I can't help you or anything."
Cen Yunchu smiled when he heard this: "I don't want my sister to help me with anything. I just admire you for staying true to your heart after so many years in the palace. It's very rare."
Shui Zhaoyi smiled mockingly upon hearing this and said, "Stay true to your heart? You might as well say that I have no scheming and no sense of the world."
"As for what the empress just said, it's not that she's unsophisticated, it's just that she knows the world but doesn't know the world." Cen Yunchu said, "That's why I said it's rare."
Shui Zhaoyi sighed softly and said: "No wonder the emperor favors you alone, you are worthy of it."
Just as he was talking, he saw a group of people coming over there. They were the emperor, the queen, and several concubines.
"What's going on today? They're all here together." Shui Zhaoyi smiled, "Let's go over and say hello!"
The two of them came to pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress. The Empress said, "It's rare that the Emperor is in fine mood today and asked me to come out and hang out with him.
Yunchu, aren't Ouran and the others with you?
She disappeared early in the morning, so I asked the palace maid that she was going to your place."
"The two ladies did go to my place, and then the three of us went to the imperial garden together.
The two of them are playing chess in the pavilion over there, and I don't know if the winner has been decided right now?" Cen Yunchu replied.
"Then let's go over and have a look!" Cui Ruifei encouraged, "After we finish playing chess, we can let them play the piano and dance for us."
Cen Yunchu lowered his eyelashes slightly, knowing that Cui Ruifei intended for these two people to perform in front of the emperor, waiting for an opportunity to invite favors.
However, she just pretended not to hear it and went with everyone without caring.
The two men hadn't finished playing chess yet, but when they saw everyone coming, they didn't care about playing chess anymore, so they quickly got up and greeted everyone.
Even though he tried his best to hide it, the corners of his eyes and brows still couldn't help but contain a hint of joy.
This joy is not because of anyone else, just because the emperor is here.
