After the man came in, he smiled slightly, bowed and said, "This little man, Sun Mo, has met Mrs. Li." His voice was a bit thinner than that of an average man.
"Do you recognize me?" Yilan asked curiously. She was sure that she had never seen this person before.
"There is a noble man who has been thinking about his wife for a long time, but has never been able to spare time, so he asked me to come and visit. I wonder how my wife is doing these days? The noble man also specially asked me to bring a box of mangoes for my wife to try." Although Sun Mo
He kept claiming to be a villain, but he didn't show any embarrassment or uneasiness when facing Yilan, as if he didn't care about Yilan, the official wife.
Dujuan, the maid standing next to Yilan, took the box he handed over. There were only two mangoes in it, but each one was larger than the two or three mangoes put together. They were as long as the palm of your hand and were golden in color.
, exuding a light aroma.
I have only heard people say that mangoes of this size are produced in Siam and are only sent to the capital as tribute. Ordinary people who want to eat them have to go to Siam to buy them. There is still little trade between the two countries.
Sun Mo's master was able to get these two mangoes and give them as gifts, so his status must be extraordinary. Yilan smiled and motioned to Dujuan to return the box to him and said: "No reward for no merit, let alone the noble man you talked about."
No one knows how to accept gifts casually?"
Yilan did have a few close friends in the capital, all of whom were wives of officials, but no matter how she thought, she would never guess who would send such two valuable mangoes.
Sun Mo did not accept the box, but simply said: "You don't want too many people to know your identity. Can you please ask Madam to send away the irrelevant people?"
Yilan's eyes were slightly cold. She couldn't figure out what Sun Mo was planning. After hesitating for a while, she motioned for the servant to step back. Then she looked at the unclosed door and said calmly: "Can you tell me?
?Or do you need me to close all the doors?"
"Madam, you are joking." Sun Mo didn't care about Yilan's sarcastic words. He took a few steps closer and said, "The Queen asked me to say hello to Madam!"
Queen?! Yilan was shocked. Who is the Queen? She is the master of the harem and her status is extremely high. She would send someone to see her? This is too ridiculous.
Yilan was just about to deny this ridiculous idea when she suddenly realized that Sun Mo's high-pitched voice and unusually smooth chin were obviously different from other men. Eunuchs, only eunuchs in the palace can do this. So, he is really the queen.
People around you?
She tried to calm herself down. She had met the empress when she was the direct descendant of Prince Yong's palace, but she was not familiar with her. She had never seen her again after she got married, and it could be said that she had no contact with her. She suddenly came to find her. What happened?
Why?
Now that his identity has been revealed, Sun Mo was not polite and sat down in a chair casually. He was the person next to the queen, and the wife of a mere fifth-rank official really didn't care.
Yilan calmed down and said with some caution: "I wonder why the queen asked Eunuch Sun to come to me?"
"The Queen has always remembered Madam, and often told her servants that women as beautiful as Madam are rare. Unfortunately, she has never seen her again since she got married. The Queen has always felt sorry for her.
"Sun Mo shook his head and said with deep regret.
"The Empress has been thinking about her for many years, and Yilan feels ashamed. It's a pity that it is not convenient for Yilan to enter the palace, otherwise she would have gone to pay homage to the Empress." Yilan bowed slightly in the chair, looking extremely respectful.
Hearing this, Sun Mo sighed for no reason, "The Queen often said that it would be great if Madam were her sister. She would never be separated from us for the rest of her life, and she would not let you marry a mere seventh-rank official. I'll tell you the truth, Madam.
, In fact, the Queen Empress had quite a few objections to Concubine Xi’s decision to marry you to Lord Li, but this was Concubine Xi’s family matter after all, and it was not easy for the Empress to interfere with it.”
Yilan was surprised. She never expected that the Queen would still have such feelings for her. She didn't know how to answer her. At the same time, her dissatisfaction with Ling Ruo became more and more serious. Everything originated from this damn woman.
If it weren't for her, she would have been the queen of the palace, enjoying all the wealth and honor in the world.
Why, why should she be his sister? Why should she come back from another courtyard to harm him? How much better would it be if she just died in another courtyard like this or died of madness there.
Sun Mo had been paying close attention to Yilan's expression, and when he saw the unconcealable anger in her eyes, there was an imperceptible trace of complacency in her eyes.
Yilan was extremely upset, but it was too late. She had been married to the Li family for more than ten years, and she would never be as young and beautiful as before. After a long time, Yilan said: "The Queen's love really flattered Yilan, but
All these things have passed, and Yilan is now the wife of the Li family, and she will never be able to go back to the past."
"Oh, Madam, you are really kind-hearted. It would be great if Concubine Xi could be half as tolerant as Madam." Sun Mo sighed in a pretentious manner and said: "By the way, Madam, I heard that Concubine Xi was before entering the palace.
, I was engaged to someone before, is there anything wrong with that?"
Yilan was shocked and blurted out: "How do you know?"
She regretted the words as soon as she said them. Wouldn't asking such a question be tantamount to admitting the matter? She changed her mind and said with a hidden smile: "What Eunuch Sun said is so strange. Did my sister have an engagement before? I actually
I don’t know at all.”
Sun Mo dusted off his dark green robe and chuckled: "Mrs. Li, if you don't say secret words in front of others, you have already admitted it, so why change your words? Besides..." He deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Concubine Xi is like this
If you harm Madam, doesn’t Madam want to take revenge?”
In fact, he only knew that Concubine Xi had a childhood sweetheart, but he didn't know at all whether they were engaged or not. He was just trying to test Yilan with words, but it turned out that he was right; but it just so happened that the relationship between Concubine Xi and the man became more and more serious.
The deeper the situation, the greater the possibility that the Queen will kill her.
It wasn't until this moment that Yilan finally understood the queen's purpose of sending Sun Mo here. She had heard her sister say before that she had many disagreements with the queen, and now it seemed that was really the case. The queen didn't know where she found out about Rong Yuan.
However, he didn't know the specific situation, so he asked Sun Mo to make this trip, hoping to get something out of him.
Although Yilan hates Ling Ruo in her heart, she still has some sense. No matter how she doesn't hesitate to meet Ling Ruo, she still has the same surname. If Ling Ruo is brought down, Amma and the others will be implicated.
, I am afraid that a married girl like me will not be spared.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face and she said: "I think Eunuch Sun has misunderstood. My sister has never harmed me, so there is no talk of revenge. Besides, my sister has never been engaged to anyone. There is nothing wrong with it."
, what do you want me to tell you? If Eunuch Sun doesn't believe it, you can ask my relatives or neighbors if such a thing has happened to them."
