If she remembered correctly, Princess Jing Duan Zirou once said when chatting with her that the jade pendant on Ye Zixiao was polished and crafted by her own hands and was of great significance. And as far as Yao Mowan knew, the relationship between Ye Zixiao and Duan Zirou
This is no ordinary royal marriage, their relationship has gone through ups and downs.
Yao Mowan suddenly wanted to know how important this relationship that had gone through ups and downs was in Ye Zixiao's heart...
"Has Duan Zirou entered the palace?" Yao Mowan put the jade pendant into her sleeve and looked at Yin Xue with raised eyebrows.
"Returning to the master, Duan Zirou has entered the palace and is now reminiscing with Mr. Duan in Zuixiang Juli." Yin Xue reported truthfully.
"Zuixiangju... Duan Xiaoyan has never been drunk after a thousand cups. At that time, Ye Hongyi had a few drinks with him, and he would stay drunk there for three days and three nights. Duan Xiaoyan's palace got its name from this, but the beauty was not old.
Let's break up the favor first. Ever since Prince Duan got stupid, Duan Xiaoyan has fallen out of favor. She was originally a concubine.
If Hongyi hadn't wanted to win over the old prince Duan back then, and Duan Zirou had married Ye Zixiao, she would never have been able to enter the palace. She seemed to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, but it's a pity that a downcast phoenix is not as good as a chicken...
Yao Mowan sighed, thinking that Duan Xiaoyan was lucky after all. At least, her existence did not pose a threat to Ye Hongyi.
"Master, do you want to finish the matter today?" Yin Xuehu asked from one side.
"Duan Zirou's visits to the palace are limited. It's rare for her to come. I will not miss this opportunity." Yao Mowan stood up leisurely, retreated from Yin Xue, and walked out of Guanju Palace leisurely.
The Zuixiang Residence located on the west side of the palace was filled with a strong aroma of wine. In the main hall, Duan Xiaoyan was holding a celadon thin-neck wine bottle in her hand and took a deep sip.
"Sister, drinking too much is harmful to your health, so stop drinking." The one who spoke was Princess Jing Duan Zirou. At this moment, Duan Zirou was about to snatch the wine bottle from Duan Xiaoyan's hand, but was blocked by Duan Xiaoyan.
"Now besides drinking, what else can I do? Isn't my sister going to deprive Xiaoyan of her remaining fun?" Duan Xiaoyan held the porcelain bottle tightly, her eyes full of sadness.
"Sister, I have also heard that the emperor is very fond of the three thousand gold daughter of Prime Minister Yao's family recently. But being very fond of her does not mean that he will always be fond of her. You can't give up on yourself. As long as you work hard, you will definitely welcome back the emperor's favorite." Duan Zirou looked at it worriedly.
My own sister comforted me with heartfelt words.
"Efforts? Haha! No matter how hard Xiaoyan tries, it will be in vain. Before that idiot entered the palace, the emperor always had two or three days a month to enter the Zuixiang Residence. But now, the emperor has not set foot in the Zuixiang Residence for half a year.
, Maybe the emperor has forgotten that there is a noble man like me in the harem..." Duan Xiaoyan raised the wine bottle with a bitter look on her face, and tears fell down.
"How is it possible? After all, you are the daughter of Prince Duan's palace. No matter how much the emperor will care about his father's face." Duan Zirou walked to Duan Xiaoyan and slowly helped her back to her seat.
"Now that my father is suffering from dementia, does the emperor still need to do all those window-dressing efforts? Sister, there is no need to say more, I understand my situation. It is a pity that I am young and mature, and I don't know how long I will have to stay alone in the empty boudoir.
If I had known this, I really shouldn’t have entered the palace in the first place, even if it was to marry a commoner
It is better to be a widow in the family than to be a widow like now! The one I envy most now is my sister-in-law. Prince Jing treats my sister-in-law like jewels. After five years of marriage, they are still as loving as ever. There are some things that I really can’t envy." Duan Xiaoyan raised her head.
When he was drinking, he found that the wine bottle was empty, so he threw it on the ground.
"No way, Zixiao and I are just an ordinary couple." When mentioning Ye Zixiao, Duan Zirou couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.
"It's unfair for my sister to say this to King Jing. Who in the entire imperial city doesn't know that King Jing loves his wife as much as she wants. As long as it's something that my sister likes, even if it's a star in the sky, King Jing will pick it off for my sister. There's a saying.
It seems that it is not unreasonable to say that you only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals." Duan Xiaoyan's voice revealed a hint of resentment.
"Those are just rumors about being awesome..." Duan Xiaoyan's words made Duan Zirou's cheeks dyed red. She knew better than anyone else how good Ye Zixiao was to her. To this day, Duan Zirou thinks
The most right thing I did in my life was to marry Ye Zixiao.
At this moment, the personal palace maid Qiaoling who was waiting beside Duan Xiaoyan hurriedly ran in from the palace gate.
"Mother, Concubine Yao is coming to us." Duan Xiaoyan was shocked when she heard the voice, and looked at Duan Zirou suspiciously.
"Even if you are a fool, you can look at her face. Don't provoke her. Just let her do whatever she wants, lest she learn from the emperor." When Duan Zirou kindly reminded her, Yao Mowan had already jumped in.
"My Lady, please be slow... Ting Yue comes to see Mr. Duan." Before Yao Mowan could speak, Ting Yue walked up to Duan Xiaoyan and bowed respectfully.
"My concubine comes to see Concubine Yao." At this time, Duan Xiaoyan and Duan Zirou stood up one after another and saluted Yao Mowan.
"Tingyue, I want to drink water." Yao Mowan looked at Tingyue coyly and muttered. Tingyue heard the sound and turned to look at Duan Xiaoyan.
"Reporting to Mr. Duan, my wife has been wandering outside for a long time and is a little thirsty. This place is too far from Guanju Palace, so I took my wife to Mr. Duan to ask for a cup of tea. I hope you don't mind." Ting
Yue opened her lips respectfully and was courteous.
Duan Xiaoyan glanced sideways at Yao Mowan, and a light flashed in her heart. Although he was an idiot, his appearance was like no other. No wonder the emperor was fascinated.
"Sit down quickly, Concubine Yao, Qiao Ling, why are you still standing there, why don't you make tea for Concubine Yao!" Seeing Duan Xiaoyan stunned there, Duan Zirou immediately ordered Qiaoling to serve tea, and gave up the front seat for Yao Mowan to sit.
Down.
"Thank you, Mr. Duan." Tingyue said gratefully, and immediately walked behind Yao Mowan. At this time, Qiaoling had already brought a cup of tea and walked to Yao Mowan.
"Thank you!" Yao Mowan took the teacup, looked at Qiaoling happily, and drank it all in one gulp. Qiaoling, on the other hand, immediately knelt down on her knees after hearing Yao Mowan's words of thanks, feeling flattered.
"Serving the master is what a slave should do..." Qiaoling had never encountered such a situation before, and for a while she just kowtowed and thanked her.
"Qiao Ling, get up and pour another cup for Concubine Yao." Duan Xiaoyan looked at Yao Mowan with her beautiful eyes again. In this palace, I am afraid that this fool is the only one who can say thank you to a slave. It seems that Yao Mowan is crazy.
Silly indeed.
Hearing this, Qiao Ling stood up, took the tea cup from Yao Mowan's hand, and poured another cup for her.
"The tea here is better than the one in Guanju Palace!" After Yao Mowan finished drinking, she handed the tea cup back to Qiao Ling, then raised her sleeves and wiped her lips fiercely. At this moment, she heard a 'pop' sound.
, a jade pendant fell from Yao Mowan's sleeve.
When Yao Mowan was about to bend down, the jade pendant was already picked up by Ting Yue.
"Your Majesty, isn't this the jade pendant of Concubine Li? How could you take it out secretly? Concubine Li will be anxious if she can't find it!" Ting Yue spoke anxiously, turning her fingers over the jade pendant.
"I just think this jade pendant looks good. Who told my second sister not to give it to me...and the emperor said...everything in this palace belongs to me, and he also belongs to me...
..." Yao Mowan held her fingers like a child who had made a mistake, not daring to look directly at Ting Yue.
"No, Concubine Li will be sad if she can't find the jade pendant. Your Majesty, you shouldn't let Concubine Li be sad, right?" As Ting Yue spoke, she seemed to have unintentionally waved the jade pendant in front of Duan Zirou.
"Mo Wan doesn't want the second sister to be sad... Then let's return this thing to the second sister!" Yao Mowan reluctantly took the jade pendant from Ting Yue's hand and stood up reluctantly.
