Li Yuanji placed Yang Miaoyan on the bed, stared at Yang Miaoyan's restless eyes, and asked with a meaningful smile, "How do you want Alang to show mercy to you?"
Yang Miaoyan's ears turned red and she quickly hid under the quilt, leaving only one pair of bright eyes blinking at Li Yuanji.
"Hahaha……"
Li Yuanji found it very interesting, laughed loudly, and got on the bed.
The shadow of the candle swayed and the figures flew around.
At midnight, the palace fell into silence.
Li Yuanji took the medicine prescribed by Sun Simiao and fell on the bed without opening his eyes.
The maid packed up her own clothes, then got out of bed and packed up Li Yuanji and Yang Miaoyan's clothes.
Yang Miaoyan poked her head out from under the quilt, bit her lips slightly, sucked in the cool air, and whispered: "My sister will be a child of the house from now on. Just leave these things to the other maids."
The maidservant trembled all over, knelt down on the ground neatly, and gave a big gift to Yang Miaoyan. With red eyes, she said excitedly: "Thank you, sister, for your kindness."
The maid is getting older and is about to pass the age threshold set by the palace.
If she cannot serve Li Yuanji, her final destination will be the Department of Clothing in the palace. After two years, Li Yuan will grant her grace and she will be released from the palace.
When you are in your twenties, it is difficult to find a decent husband's family outside the palace.
Either he was assigned to a widower by the official, or he was married to a bad old man as a concubine, or he was used to fill houses for those who were somewhat ill.
Anyway, it's hard to find a normal person of her age.
If she didn't want to marry a widower, an old man, or someone with some problems, she would have to get her hair cut off in a nunnery.
Judging from Li Yuanji's daily behavior, she originally had no chance to sleep with him, but Yang Miaoyan gave her a chance and forced her to stay.
It was also when Yang Miaoyan was exhausted that she dragged her to the bed regardless of Li Yuanji's objections.
Afterwards, Yang Miaoyan not only did not target her viciously or suppress her, but instead recognized her identity immediately.
For her, Yang Miaoyan means kindness and rebirth.
"You have been following me since I entered Prince Qi's palace, and you have some affection for me. I can't just watch you being sent to the Department of Clothing and being raped."
Yang Miaoyan took a breath and spoke softly.
The elderly maids have lost the possibility of being favored and will no longer have the opportunity to fly on a branch and become a phoenix. Some people in the palace bully them without feeling any burden at all.
Therefore, they will try their best to plunder them all, and finally trample them in the quagmire and let them do the hardest and most tiring work.
Yang Miaoyan has been in charge of the affairs in the palace of Prince Qi for more than half a year. He also has some understanding of the affairs of the palace, big and small, and knows what the Shangyi Department is.
She tried it, but to no avail.
Because as long as she doesn't stare at her for a moment, the people in the Department of Clothes will fall into their old ways.
She can kill people, but she can't kill them all.
"Thank you, sister..."
The maidservant was so moved that she was completely moved.
"Go down and find someone to tidy up this place. You should go back and rest early."
Yang Miaoyan moved her body, bit her back teeth and gave an order.
The maid nodded heavily, slowly got up, and stumbled out of the hall with a little staggering steps.
Yang Miaoyan felt sorry for her, but couldn't keep her.
Because in Prince Qi's Mansion, Yang Miaoyan's bed could not accommodate other women.
This is a rule, a very, very strict rule.
If it goes beyond that, it means that Yang Miaoyan despises his identity.
The maid left the palace, and a large group of people gathered around her, including Chen Shanyi, who had left early.
"Congratulations to Sister Ruan..."
"Congratulations to Sister Ruan..."
"..."
A group of maids and maids stepped forward to congratulate him with envious expressions.
Chen Shanshan also smiled and sighed: "Ah Ruan, you can be considered as successful."
Ah Ruan nodded excitedly.
Her name was given by the eunuch who selected her to enter the palace in the former Sui Dynasty. Because she was not given enough filial piety, she got such a perfunctory name.
"I've met Mrs. Ruan..."
"I've met Mrs. Ruan..."
"..."
All the guards came forward to pay homage to Ah Ruan.
Ah Ruan has basically flown onto the branch, so they don't dare to treat her like they did before.
Ah Ruan politely returned a half-salute to the official among the guards, and choked with sobs: "My surname is Wang..."
It wasn't until this moment that she took back the name 'I' and also 'got' her last name.
Before that, no one cared about her last name, and no one would call her by her last name.
After that, everyone has to call her respectfully...
"Mrs. Wang is polite..."
"Mrs. Wang is polite..."
"..."
Wang Ruan burst into tears all of a sudden.
But no one present would laugh at her, they would only envy her.
"I have already asked the female officials in the palace to prepare the gift list. In a few days, when you are free, you can find someone you trust to send it home."
Chen Shanyi stepped forward, stroked Wang Ruan's long hair, and whispered with a smile.
The Tao means that one person attains the Tao, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Tonight, not only Wang Ruan flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix, but her family members also flew up the branch.
Wang Ruan nodded with tears in his eyes.
"Go back and rest."
Chen Shanshan said softly.
Wang Ruan nodded again and was about to proceed with the instructions given by Yang Miaoyan, when Chen Shanshan said: "Ah Jiu, go in and clean up."
Wang Ruan immediately shut his mouth, said nothing more, and left the front of the palace with the support of his maids.
…
The next day.
Noon.
As soon as Li Yuanji opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed alone. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the hall. He looked down again and found that the bed had been tidied up, as if nothing had happened last night.
But Li Yuanji clearly remembered what happened last night, and muttered with a little embarrassment, "Last night... was ridiculous."
He obviously just wanted to sleep with Yang Miaoyan, but Yang Miaoyan couldn't bear it, and he couldn't do it, so he could only act absurdly without conscience.
"Here comes someone!"
Li Yuanji said hello to the door angrily.
Chen Shanyi appeared in the hall with people and washing things.
While Li Yuanji was washing up, he asked awkwardly, "Where's the wise words?"
Chen Shanyi glared at Li Yuanji angrily and said with an annoyed smile: "You don't even know how to pity the princess, how dare the princess stay by your side anymore?"
Li Yuanji suddenly became even more embarrassed.
It was only last night that he discovered that his physical fitness was a bit too good, and he couldn't stop himself, so he had no choice but to wrong Yang Miaoyan.
"Don't torment the princess like this in the future, otherwise she won't be able to get out of bed, and people will laugh if word gets out."
Chen Shanyi glanced at Li Yuanji and reminded him angrily.
Li Yuanji smiled dryly and nodded.
After washing up and getting dressed, Li Yuanji hesitated for a moment and said, "That maid..."
Li Yuanji asked half of the question and did not ask further.
Chen Shanshan understood what Li Yuanji meant and said with a smile: "Her surname is Wang, her real name is Fuliu, she changed her name to Ruan after entering the palace, and she is from the concubine branch of the Wang family in Luoyang.
Now that I have become a child, I should be able to join the direct branch of the Wang family."
Everything about Wang Ruan is recorded in the palace, and Chen Shanyi knows it clearly.
If the people of the Wang family in Luoyang knew that Wang Ruan had become a concubine of the Prince of Qi's palace and couldn't think of a way to move Wang Ruan into the direct branch, then there would be something wrong with their brains.
"Luoyang Wang family?"
Li Yuanji looked suspicious. He had spent some time in Luoyang and had never heard of any wealthy family named Wang.
When Li Shimin conquered Luoyang last year, he liquidated almost all the big families named Wang.
"Demon Suppression Museum"
Therefore, there is no longer a wealthy family named Wang in Luoyang.
"You must have misunderstood. The Wang family in Luoyang that I refer to is not a wealthy family, but a rural person who occupies a whole township."
Chen Shanyi saw that Li Yuanji seemed to have misunderstood, and explained to Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji suddenly understood and did not continue to ask any more questions. He just said to Chen Shanshan: "I'm sorry to have you tell Miaoyan and ask her to treat the king well..."
"Wang Ruan."
"Yes, Wang Ruan."
"..."
Chen Shanshan smiled and said: "Our princess is not the kind of person with a vicious heart and will not abuse her. Don't worry."
Li Yuanji smiled dryly.
"Husband and wife" cannot be eaten and wiped clean, and then they will no longer recognize each other.
"A man named Xu ran outside the palace early in the morning and asked to see you. I saw you were sleeping deeply, so I didn't wake you up. Now that you're awake, do you want to see him?"
"Is your name Xu Jingzong?"
"..."
Chen Shanyi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does Your Highness know him?"
The people in the palace have a noble status and don't need to give too much face to anyone, so there is an unwritten rule.
That is, if someone you know asks to see you, you must welcome him into the palace and serve him with good food and drink.
If you don't know me, just stay cool.
If Li Yuanji knew Xu Jingzong, then it would be disrespectful to leave Xu Jingzong outside the palace.
Xu Jingzong did not dare to be dissatisfied, but Li Yuanji might care.
"There's no acquaintance, no social interaction."
Li Yuanji smiled calmly.
Chen Shanyi nodded.
"Send someone to invite him to the side hall and serve him good food and drink. I'll see him again after I've had lunch."
Li Yuanji ordered with a smile.
Chen Shanshan understood and nodded in agreement.
Li Yuanji just invited people to the side hall and let them dine alone, instead of inviting people to the main hall to dine together, which means he didn't want to get close.
Chen Shanshan knew how to treat Xu Jingzong.
After Chen Shanshan left, Li Yuanji shook his head and smiled.
Li Shimin moves very quickly.
The 'deal' was reached just last night, and people were sent here today.
It can be seen that Li Shimin did not pay much attention to Xu Jingzong, or he knew what kind of person Xu Jingzong was and was unwilling to reuse him.
From this... it can also be seen that Fu Gongyou is about to rebel.
Otherwise, Li Shimin would not have wanted to complete the 'deal' with him so quickly and let him complain about his illness.
Li Yuanji sat in the main hall and waited for a while. The maids brought lunch. After eating a simple meal, he sent someone to tell Xu Jingzong to come to the main hall to see him.
