Walking on the bluestone road, Yanyan was still confused and wanted to sleep. She couldn't sleep last night, and then Qi Yu hugged her back, which made her even more sleepy. It wasn't until late that she fell asleep in a daze, feeling that she hadn't slept for long. He was woken up by Chuntao and the others, so he had to get up and walk towards Qianqing Palace.
Before you know it, autumn has arrived.
In this palace, it is still as green as summer, and there are no bright yellow leaves slowly falling. The fat green and red are thin, dotting the eyes.
"Hmph." Two low coughs came out.
Yanyan raised his head and saw the emperor looking at him with confusion.
"What are you thinking about? I have called you several times and you don't know." The emperor looked at her calmly, with no annoyance in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I'm just a little homesick." Yanyan blurted out, but suddenly felt that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly continued, "The scene where I saw the Emperor and several His Highnesses together yesterday made me a little envious. I also want to be with my parents. We are willing to live a miserable life together. However, I miss my mother so much now."
"Didn't you say that your parents were burned to death in a fire?" the emperor asked back.
"I dare not lie to the emperor. In fact, my mother survived the fire, but her appearance was completely destroyed by the fire, so my mother forced me to swear an oath and let me tell the public that my mother is dead. After I swore the oath, , my mother kicked the slave out and refused to allow me to see her." Yanyan knelt on the ground, secretly annoyed that he was in a daze, and what he said was inconsistent.
"Then you are deceiving me when you say you don't remember your hometown?" There was obviously a trace of anger in the emperor's eyes, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.
"I don't dare. Except that my mother is not dead, everything else I said is true. I really don't remember the name of my hometown. I only remember that it is in a place far, far away. Since I was a child, I was wandering around, so I have confused the name of my hometown with the name that was circulated, so that I can’t remember anything now." Yan Yan had to make up some random information.
"Do you know the consequences of deceiving me?" The emperor looked at Yan Yan coldly.
"Because I swore an oath in front of my mother, I hid something from the emperor, which can be regarded as a filial piety. The emperor has a kind heart and is a wise emperor. He will not blame the slave for doing something innocuous in order to fulfill his filial piety." It's a little lie, right? And now that the slave is working for you, the emperor, the emperor will know everything about the slave just by taking a look. Then the emperor will naturally know that the slave is just an ordinary person, not a spy." After that. , Yanyan raised his head and looked at the emperor without blinking, sighing secretly in his heart that he could brag smoothly without drafting. Sure enough, this skill can really be practiced.
After a few seconds of silence, the emperor suddenly laughed, and his tone became more relaxed, "What a sharp-tongued little girl, what she said makes sense." He stared at the words kneeling on the ground, but he still felt a little doubtful in his heart. Speaking of her identity, she was right. Under his eyes, no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn't be able to make any big fuss.
"Get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Yan stood up staggeringly, her knees numb. Fortunately, she had mastered her nonsense skills, and fortunately the emperor was arrogant, so she was able to get through today.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival will be over soon. I want to see some novel things in the palace this year. You have many clever ideas. I will leave all the preparations for the Mid-Autumn Festival to you. Can you make this year's Mid-Autumn Festival different from previous years?
To make everyone happy again?" The emperor said quietly, looking at her with a probing and hopeful look in his eyes.
Yan Yan didn't say anything for a long time. She was very surprised. In this palace, she was just a little maid, or even a maid who had just entered the palace. She was left to prepare for such a grand Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace, and the emperor really thought highly of it.
If she can use this Mid-Autumn Festival to please the emperor, then it will be easier for her to propose leaving the palace. However, it is not without difficulty to satisfy everyone. It can be said that it is very difficult. Although she comes from the future world,
Many things are new to these ancient people. However, no matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to satisfy everyone. Moreover, most of the concubines in the harem will participate in this Mid-Autumn Festival, and they will definitely take advantage of it.
If they compete for favor during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid that by then their thoughts will only be on the emperor, not on the Mid-Autumn Festival activities she planned. More likely, it is not impossible that the Mid-Autumn Festival will be full of chaos because of their competition for favor.
Just as she was thinking about it, the emperor asked again, "What? You don't have confidence? Or do you think it will be very tiring? If it is because you are afraid of being tired, I will arrange some slaves at your disposal."
"Yes! I will definitely make this Mid-Autumn Festival a success! Your Majesty, please wait and see!" Yanyan decided to accept this challenge. She will try her best. She can't make everyone happy, but at least she should be able to attract most people's attention. If
If it succeeds, that's good. If it fails, the emperor probably won't pursue it.
"Okay, I like your confidence. You go down first, I'm tired." The emperor looked at Yan Yan with half-squinted eyes, but he felt a little fond of this girl in his heart, and he also sighed in his heart, she is indeed a disgusting person.
A woman who can't get up is quirky and has rare talents. No wonder his sons like to stay with her. Then I thought about it. Since ancient times, beauties have always been unlucky. If she threatens the situation he controls, then
, he could only make a decisive decision to eliminate the root cause of the disaster.
Yanyan walked to his room, thinking all the way that the Mid-Autumn Festival held in the palace would be very grand. Not only the concubines of the palace, but also the elder brothers and some ministers of the court would be present.
.She not only has to consider all factors to make this Mid-Autumn Festival more perfect.
Just when she was lost in thought, there was a "swish" sound, and the cool water poured from her head all over her body, and the water droplets slid along her hair and across her face. Her body suddenly seemed heavy, and the cold water droplets soaked her skin, causing
There was a small shudder. Yanyan closed his eyes for a while and reached out to wipe away the water drops on his eyes. Seeing the twelfth brother who was gloating about his misfortune in front of him, Yanyan suddenly felt furious. He was just a little kid,
He actually bullies others because he is his elder brother. He is really spoiled and annoying.
Yanyan endured the anger in her heart, walked straight past him, and walked toward the room. Before she reached the door, the twelfth prince shamelessly blocked her way. He seemed to be dissatisfied with her reaction and stood with his face crossed.
In front of me, "This is just a small punishment for your accusation that I am a pig. How about it? Please forgive me and I will let you go."
"Then I said you're not a pig, okay, twelfth brother." Yan Yan wanted to pass him into the room, but he blocked her way.
"What are you going to do, brother twelfth brother." There was a slight chill in his body. He tried his best to hold back the anger in his heart. He raised his voice and looked at the disgusting face in front of him. "I have already been punished for your petty thinking.
What else do you want? Now, all the clothes on my body are wet. I want to go in and change into clean clothes now. Excuse me, Brother Twelve, can you make way?"
"You're wise, it's weird to say that I'm not a pig. This is your punishment for today." He seemed to be satisfied with her answer. He leaned to the side, and after Yanyan hurriedly opened the door and went in, he immediately
Closed the door.
"What an idiot." Yan Yan cursed in a low voice after closing the door, and went to get clean clothes to change into, otherwise he would catch a cold again.
After a few seconds of silence, there was suddenly another shouting outside, and knocks on the door continued, "Xia Yanyan, come out! It's weird if you say I'm not a pig, or you're calling me a pig. I'm not a pig.
, you are not a pig. You dare to tease me, come out!"
Yan Yan, who had just changed his clothes, didn't bother to laugh when he heard him twisting himself out and in again. He wiped his wet hair with a clean towel, lay on the bed and ignored him, letting him make noise outside.
.
Holding the snowball and staring into its round eyes, Yanyan was still thinking about how to plan the Mid-Autumn Festival. As he thought about it, he fell asleep. He didn't know how long he slept, but he only knew that the sound outside had disappeared.
, the room was also quiet. After playing with the snowball on the bed for a while, I was bored lying down, so I simply went to sit in the pavilion outside and let the air stimulate my mind. Maybe I would come up with some good ideas.
As soon as the door was opened, the twelfth elder brother stumbled in. He is still here, he is really perseverant. She slept inside, and he slept outside the door. Yanyan walked around quietly,
He walked towards the pavilion as if running away.
Finally running farther, Yanyan slowed down and breathed in the fresh air around her. There was no trace of turbidity, and she felt much more relaxed. If only her Mid-Autumn Festival had given people the same feeling as it does now, with quiet indulgence,
It’s quite satisfying. As I spoke, inspiration came to my mind. Yes, it’s meant to give people a vague sense of intoxication.
Just as I was thinking about it, Eunuch Gao came over with several young eunuchs. Because he was always the chief eunuch in the palace, even if I hated him, I should say hello, "Hello, Mr. Gao."
She only heard a soft snort from his nose, rolled his eyes at her, and said sharply, "Xia Yanyan accepts the order."
Yanyan hurriedly knelt on the ground and gave instructions. She heard Eunuch Gao reciting loudly, which made her want to sleep. She was just following the emperor's instructions, ordering her to be responsible for all Mid-Autumn Festival matters. If she needed anything, she could just report it to Eunuch Gao.
.
After Yanyan finished receiving the order, Eunuch Gao left arrogantly. Before leaving, he did not forget to snort again. Yanyan cursed in his heart, which was really a slap in the face.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is only half a month away. In such a short period of time, it takes a lot of effort to prepare a feast that matches the royal style and makes everyone feel at home.
