"Aunt, Yue Er is such a joke. She slept here so late as well." Lian Ruyue looked a little embarrassed as she said.
"No worries, normally, when Ying Yao gets lazy, she will always sleep until late in the morning. You are nothing." Lian Zhaoyi reprimanded Feng Yunyao.
Feng Tang Yao's face turned red, "Mufei, how can you be like this? Other ladies wouldn't even be able to praise their own daughter, but you, you're always trying to take advantage of me. Aren't you afraid that if I become a lazy bug, I won't be able to marry you in the future?"
"You, you … Since when did you know how to talk so much? You have always been the most considerate one, haven't you?" Lian Zhaoyi lovingly pinched Feng Ziyao's face as he spoke.
Lian Ruyue listened to the mother and daughter duo and laughed along, but in her heart she couldn't help but lightly snort.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. Both of you eat more, especially Yue Er, look at you. You're so thin, if you stayed with me for a few more days, your aunt will definitely feed you until you're fat and white." Lian Zhaoyi said with a smile.
"Alright, then Yue Er will just stay by my aunt's side." Lian Ruyue said sweetly.
These words caused Lian Zhaoyi and Feng Ziyao's expressions to change, Lian Yue Yue pretended not to see.
The breakfast meal was very rich, plum blossom tofu, dried goose with rouge, fried medlar sprouts with oil and salt, fragrant quail, lily cake, all kinds of dishes were placed on the table.
Lian Yingyue seemed to have a good appetite and ate quite a lot. Feng Yunyao smiled as she ate, but in her heart, she scolded her a few times — —
Putting on an act, you!
"Empress, the princess …" At this moment, a eunuch hurriedly walked in, wiping the sweat from his forehead with a panicked expression.
"Bold servant, how is it proper to be so impudent." Lian Zhaoyi said unhappily.
"Esteemed Empress, Princess, Princess Eleven, Princess Eleven … She, she …" The servant took a deep breath.
Feng Lingyue?
Feng Tang Yao suddenly stood up and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Sister Eleven, hurry up and tell me!"
"Just now, esteemed wangfei followed the emperor's orders and led the imperial physician and mama to treat Princess Eleven, but for some reason, Princess Eleven suddenly went berserk and knocked over the medicine the imperial concubine had given her. Not only did she hurt the imperial physician and the mama, but Eunuch Feng, who was at the emperor's side, stepped forward to persuade her, and was also hurt, even the imperial concubine was unlucky enough to have her arm cut. The consort was furious, saying that her good intentions had been ignored by the princess and had even injured someone, so she begged the princess to punish her.
The eunuch said, out of breath.
When Lian Ruyue heard this, she tightened her grip on the spoon.
The Emperor wanted to put Princess Eleven under house arrest, and her goal was for her to be exposed to the crowd. Only then would she have a way to save her.
As for Feng Ziyao, her eyes lit up, but her face still had an anxious expression as she said, "How could this be? "Is Sister Eleven suddenly crazy? I-I need to hurry up and check it out."
Feng Tang couldn't wait to run out, and he called out a few times, but he didn't hear anything.
Lian Zhaoyi's face was sullen. "This child is too worried for her sister."
"Aunt, the princess' heart is kind-hearted, it is the fortune of the aunt and the emperor." Lian Ruyue calmly put down the chopsticks with the Plum Blossom Tofu and said.
"Sigh …" Lian Zhaoyi sighed. "This 11 is really pitiful. The empress just passed away and she caused such a disaster. The Concubine Xian isn't someone to offend. I hope the emperor will calm down after seeing her pitiful state."
As Lian Zhaoyi spoke, his eyes fell on Lian Ruyue's body. Lian Ruyue didn't seem to have any reaction; she continued to eat the food in front of her.
"Yue Er, aren't you going to take a look?" He had heard that when the Empress had died yesterday, Eleven had gone to speak with Lian Xiangyue. This time, she was not anxious at all. What kind of medicine was being sold in this gourd?
Lian Ruyue saw through Consort Xian's thoughts and slowly said, "Aunt, Yue'er is not an idiot. Yue'er naturally wouldn't interfere with Yue'er's business, but yesterday Princess Eleven pulled me to her side and begged me to save her. Did she take me for an idiot? If I save her, not only will I not disobey the emperor's orders, but the emperor will pursue this matter. Not only me, the prime minister's residence, and my aunt will also be implicated.
Just because I was a bit closer to her than before, she thought that there was something different about the relationship between her and me, as well as the fact that they were here to beg me to do such a thankless task. Yue Er would not be that foolish, but now that she has gone crazy, it seems that she has no idea and has offended the Emperor.
Hearing Lian Yue's words, Lian Zhao Yi thought to himself, this is the Yue'er that she knows. She only cares about her own interests and definitely wouldn't care about the life and death of others.
Thinking of this, Lian Zhaoyi breathed a sigh of relief, "Yue'er's thinking is the best. Don't bother with unrelated matters. The palace isn't as simple as the prime minister's residence. If you're not careful, you'll lose your head."
"Yes, Yue Er will remember Aunt's teachings." Lian Ruyue got up, bent her knees, and said, "Aunt, yesterday Imperial Concubine Liang sent Yue'er some snacks. According to etiquette, Yue'er should kowtow and thank you."
"Of course, but there are many rules and regulations in this palace, the queen's funeral, and many people coming and going. I'll have Paran accompany you." Lian Zhao Yi said — —
Although Lian Ruyue's words made a lot of sense, she still felt that this niece of hers was crafty and scheming. She was afraid that she still had other intentions, so she had to send someone to follow her.
"Yes, thank you, aunt." Lian Ruyue knelt down to bid farewell to Lian Zhaoyi. After leaving the Etiquette Palace, she went to the Dreamhua Palace to look for Senior Concubine Liang. Lan Jing followed her every step of the way.
When they arrived at the palace, Lan Jing followed the rules and stood outside the palace.
"Follow me into the hall. The imperial concubine is kind and loving, you don't have to be afraid." Lan Jing originally wanted to say that she didn't know the rules, but Lian Ru Yue grabbed her wrist and followed her into the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Imperial Concubine Liang sitting upright on a rosewood chair. She knelt down and said, "Yue Er pays respects to Imperial Concubine. Yue Er has come specifically to thank Imperial Concubine for the pastries she gave yesterday."
Imperial Concubine Liang revealed a loving smile as she said:
"A box of pastries. You still remember to come and kneel down to thank me. Hurry up and get up." Imperial Concubine Liang gestured.
"Yes, esteemed Empress Xie." Lian Ruyue said as she stood up.
