Yanyan waited boredly outside Qianqing Palace, but the melancholy in her heart kept spinning in circles.
"Your Majesty is awake, come in!" Eunuch Gao came out and called him.
She quickly followed Eunuch Gao in, and saw that the emperor was already sitting on a chair, drinking a cup of tea. When he saw her coming in, he put down the cup in his hand and smiled slightly, "Are you in such a hurry to see me?"
Before he could speak, Eunuch Gao on the side said, "Your Majesty, which queen have you decided to sleep with tonight?"
"I will sleep in Qianqing Palace today." The emperor said calmly.
"Then let me get ready first." After saying that, Eunuch Gao turned around and left. When leaving, he gave Yan Yan a meaningful look.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" The emperor stared at the book he picked up on the table, without raising his eyes to Yan Yan standing in front of him.
"About the Mid-Autumn Festival..." Yan Yan just started to speak, but she didn't know what to say. She was filled with sadness for a moment. She didn't want to offend any concubine in the palace, and she couldn't afford to offend her.
"If you didn't tell me, I forgot to ask you, how are you planning for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" The emperor seemed to suddenly realize it, and looked up at her. There was a sly look on the corner of his mouth, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I have received many valuable items from you today." Yan Yan said boldly, secretly looking at the emperor in front of him, and saw that his expression did not change. He was not surprised at all, but smiled. Say, "So what items did you receive?"
"They are all expensive jewelry." Yan Yan secretly guessed what he was thinking.
"Oh." The emperor lowered his head again and looked at the book in his hand.
"Isn't the emperor surprised at all? Don't you want to know why the empress gave those items to the slaves?" Yanyan asked boldly, confirming his guess.
"You are a smart woman. I believe you have guessed what I am thinking." The emperor still did not raise his head to look at Yan Yan, but the smile at the corner of his mouth became deeper. It was as if he knew that she would come to him today, and he also Knowing that she would guess his thoughts. For such a smart woman, he really wanted the Mid-Autumn Festival to come as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, you already know that the empresses in the palace will give gifts to slaves, and you also know that the empresses in the palace will rush to give gifts to slaves in the hope that slaves can use this Mid-Autumn Festival to make them the focus of the emperor's eyes and win his favor. Right? ?" Yanyan looked at the emperor in front of him and saw him smiling and acquiescing.
"Your Majesty, you asked me if I could organize this Mid-Autumn Festival to the satisfaction of everyone. These people are actually talking about the empress in the palace, right?" Yan Yan didn't understand how to organize this Mid-Autumn Festival until he received those gifts. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the ladies in the palace are the biggest trouble.
"Haha, I really saw you right. You guessed my thoughts just by receiving the gift today. You are indeed a smart woman." The emperor laughed loudly, put down the book in his hand, walked to the window and looked up at the sky. "The competition for favor among concubines in this palace has always been a headache for emperors, and I am no exception. It is impossible to prevent them from competing for favor. However, I want to have a good spring and autumn this year, and I don't want to see them because of Fighting for favor ruined my lack of interest. So, can you make my wish come true?"
"I wish I wasn't smart," Yan Yan muttered from the side, finally getting the chance to show off in front of the emperor, how could they not compete for his favor? "You are already a smart woman, how could you not be so smart?"
Yanyan raised his head and looked at the emperor who turned around and stared at him. He could hear what he said so softly, and his hearing had not declined at all with age.
"Your Majesty, you are so wise that you cannot solve the problem, but you still want to make things difficult for me?" Yanyan looked directly at the emperor in front of him and kept muttering in his heart. Really, he wants to marry so many concubines again.
I have another headache, which is really asking for trouble. Now, I want to hurt others.
"Haha, you are a smart woman and an outsider. There are some things that you can see more clearly than me. I believe you can plan a Mid-Autumn Festival that satisfies me." The emperor laughed loudly and stared at the words in front of him.
, but in my heart I fell in love with this girl more and more.
"What should I do if I can't handle it?" Yanyan mourned for himself in his heart. He was an outsider, but he couldn't solve the problem that even the emperors of the past and present could not solve. Even if there was a way, it would only be for the emperor.
The emperor would not cooperate with the idea of becoming a eunuch.
"If you can't do what you promised me, what do you think we should do?" The emperor had a teasing expression on his face.
"Ah——" Yanyan let out a low cry.
"Haha, okay, I won't want your head." The emperor came to her and laughed loudly, "You accept all the jewelry that the queen in the palace gave you. Once it is done, I will reward you heavily.
"
A hint of helplessness flashed in Yanyan's eyes, what's the use of collecting so many jewelry. If it can't be done, the emperor will be unhappy; if it is done, the concubines in the palace will be unhappy. She can't offend either side.
In the Tianyi Palace, Chuan Yunde stood next to the Queen, with a humble expression on his face, "Your Majesty, I have heard that since the Emperor issued a decree to ask the maid Xia Yanyan to organize this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, almost all the palaces, large and small, have
The concubines all sent gifts."
The queen's hand holding the cup trembled slightly, and the image of her son risking his life to guarantee the maid that day suddenly appeared in her mind, and a chill rose up behind her for no reason. Since then, she has been worried about her hard work every day.
The sons of the princes will be destroyed by that palace maid, and all her hard work over the years will be wasted.
Thinking of this, the anger suppressed in my heart spread like new weeds.
"I really don't know what that little goblin is capable of, but all the people are surrounding her." The emperor clenched the cup in his hand, feeling a cruel feeling in his heart.
"Empress, please don't be angry. A palace maid can't cause any trouble no matter how much she makes," Chuan Yunde said hurriedly.
"Can I not be angry? She has begun to charm the emperor. Otherwise, can the emperor leave all the Mid-Autumn Festival matters to her?" The queen raised her voice and shouted, the anger on her face getting deeper.
, "I must make this Mid-Autumn Festival a mess for her!"
"Don't worry, Madam, I'll leave this to the servants." Chuan Yunde smiled softly, with an evil intention at the corner of his mouth.
When the conversation changed, the queen turned to ask Chuan Yunde, "I want to ask you, has she been very close to the prince recently?"
"No, but I learned from the servants that the seventh prince liked this palace maid very much. Moreover, one day, I accidentally encountered the seventh prince and forcibly kissed the palace maid." Chuan Yunde said softly at the side.
"Really?" The queen was so excited that she spilled the tea in her hand, with a sinister smile of unknown meaning appearing on her face.
"I saw it with my own eyes." Chuan Yunde smiled, with the same smile on his face.
"Xiao Chuanzi, I want you to keep a close eye on them from now on. When the time is right, we will close the net." The queen became excited, and a look of fierce determination passed through her eyes. After taking care of the seventh elder brother, we can come again We must deal with other threats and let the hard-fought crown prince sit back and relax.
Summer has passed, the sun is obviously no longer so hot, and there are no cicadas chirping on the branches in the palace. The brilliant yellow of dusk casts a layer of golden light over the palace.
As soon as Yanyan walked out of Qianqing Palace, he met Zhaoyue who was walking towards him. Zhaoyue walked over with a smile, "Yanyan, I heard that the emperor asked you to organize this Mid-Autumn Festival. What do you think? "
"Not yet!" Yan Yan answered honestly. There was indeed nothing in his head, and there couldn't be anything. No matter what he did, it was impossible to satisfy all the empresses in the palace.
"Then you have to hurry up. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in just a few days. We have to start preparing for all the big and small things." Zhaoyue said with concern, but she was cursing fiercely in her heart. Why should a palace maid organize the Mid-Autumn Festival? She came today to ask the emperor not to allow her to organize the Mid-Autumn Festival. She just didn't want to see her active in the palace like this, so that everyone didn't pay attention to her.
"Xie Gege's concern." Regardless of whether she was sincere or fake, I still thanked her verbally.
"Then you go back and prepare." As she said that, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes, and she turned around and entered Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty." Zhaoyue ran to the emperor's side happily, smiling happily.
"Zhaoyue, why did you come to me at this time?" When the emperor saw Zhaoyue, he smiled brightly. Because she lost her parents when she was a child, he loved her very much. First, she was her father. The most proud minister died in the killing field. Her mother was so sad that she left her to follow her father in the world. Therefore, in order to comfort her father's spirit in heaven, he gave her the love that her father did not give her. She. Secondly, she is indeed a cute little girl. She has been liked by him since she was a child, so he loves her even more.
"Your Majesty, why did you leave the Mid-Autumn Festival to a palace maid to organize this year's Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zhaoyue pursed her lips.
"What's wrong, aren't you familiar with her? Don't you believe in her ability?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and said softly.
"I'm not very familiar with her, I just saw her a few times in Brother Feng's palace. Moreover, she seems to have a good relationship with Brother Feng, so Zhaoyue is jealous." Zhaoyue pursed her lips, as if she was about to cry.
"Haha." The emperor looked at her and laughed, "You little girl has grown up."
"Your Majesty, Zhaoyue has grown up a long time ago, but you have been pretending not to know." Zhaoyue said coquettishly.
"Now that you've grown up, what do you want from me today?" The emperor laughed, his eyebrows widening.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Yue was originally a little selfish and wanted to ask you to find someone else to organize the Mid-Autumn Festival. However, today it seems that even the Emperor has been kind to Yan Yan, and Zhao Yue is even more jealous." Zhao Yue blinked and said. I was secretly annoyed in my heart, obviously, the emperor also likes that smelly girl.
Suddenly there was another burst of laughter in the Qianqing Palace.
