"Empress, which famous expert did this painting come from?"
"It's not the work of some famous expert. It's a copy that I copied from my memories. It's an ancestral painting."
"From our ancestors?" Green-clothed looked at her in confusion.
Xiao Ruyue realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the topic. "Didn't you come in to ask me why I suddenly want Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang to help me with the harem?"
"You saw it again." "Yes." Lu Yi embarrassedly cleared her throat. I also heard your orders when you were instructing Big Sister Yin Lin, but about what happened with Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, she must still have something on her mind, isn't that a little too fast? Do you have any plans? "
Xiao Ruyue slightly raised her brows, "Then tell me, what plans do you think I have?"
"Then, I'll just have to guess bravely." "Empress, you actually like Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, right? You're more amiable towards her than towards other beautiful women. Furthermore, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie is also her daughter, so do you want to give them some face and take this opportunity to rope in the Wang family? "
"Not bad, you have become smarter." Xiao Ruyue knocked on her head, "Who taught you to be smart? Is it someone? "
"No, no, he didn't teach me! He's not even in the capital. I figured it out myself. " Lu Yi was afraid that Xiao Ruyue would misunderstand something, and said quickly.
"I didn't say who taught you by name, so how did you know he wasn't in the capital?" Xiao Ruyue's mouth slowly formed a smile, full of ridicule.
"My mistress!" Lu Yi's face was immediately filled with shyness. "You … you're making fun of me."
Xiao Ruyue shrugged her shoulders, and did not deny it, "A girl cannot stay in a university, she has to stay for revenge. Rest assured, when he comes back, I will find a suitable time to mention this matter to you, your highness. "
"Hear what?"
"Oh, then I don't want to. Then I shall not speak of it. "
"Empress." Lu Yi was so anxious that her face was flushed red. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Xiao Ruyue could not help but smile, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you. Since this matter is related to your life, I will not take it out to laugh. I have to sit by myself for a while and embroider.
Lu Yi was annoyed and embarrassed. Her face was still hot and hot. She then obediently withdrew.
Yin Lin, who was at the door, saw through her expression and said, "You must have been made fun of by the Empress again."
"Isn't that so? The Empress is always teasing me." Lu Yi bit her lips, feeling wronged. "The Empress can make fun of me."
"Recently, the Empress has been busy with work. You've enjoyed your leisure in the palace, and you haven't even made it for the Empress. Don't be angry with her." You served the Empress from a young age, so you know her temperament better than I do. As long as you take advantage of this opportunity to cook a few delicious dishes, you'll be fine. " Yin Lin patted her shoulder as she kindly guided her.
"Isn't that so? The Empress must be blaming me for not showing her respect for my hard work. I'll go and make the Empress some snacks right now."
Lu Yi slapped her head and suddenly came to a realization. After thanking Yin Lin a thousand times, she went to the little dining room in Phoenix Palace to busy herself.
Yin Lin laughed and then entered the embroidery room.
Flowers and Moons was a famous flower house in the capital city, and even in the entire Da Xia Empire, as long as the sky darkened, there would be rich merchants, rich and powerful officials, and many talented people coming in droves.
However, no matter how bustling it was after nightfall, the Flowers and Moons was quiet during the day.
The group of people from Tatar quietly moved into the backyard of Flowers and Moons without anyone noticing. The backyard of the Flowers and Moons was always mysterious and heavily guarded. Other than the mother of the Flowers and Moons and a few important missions, no one was allowed to take a step near the backyard.
"OP, the Princess is currently under house arrest. Are you trying to think of a way to save her?" The one who spoke was a short man. His skin was dark and he looked rather wretched.
The person who was called Tower Lord was a woman of about twenty years of age. She was young and beautiful, and her beautiful eyes were filled with vicissitudes and calculation. She didn't look too comfortable.
She was the tower lord of Red Sleeve House, Ye Haitang's good sister, Feng Yuting.
"Hai Shi, there is no need to worry about the rescue. We had snuck into the capital in advance, so we have to figure out the situation first. Feng Yuting glared at the short man, Hai Shi.
"But OP, the princess is alone in the palace. That empress has her in mind, how can we explain if something happens to her?" "What if …"
"Since I'm here, I won't sit by and watch her get bullied!" Feng Yuting fiercely cut Hai Shi off, "Don't you know what a good opportunity is?"
Hai Shi was about to say something, but he stared back at him with a pair of eyes, and he fell silent.
"I care about her more than anyone else, but I have to be methodical. This is not a Tatar tent, you can do whatever you want with it. When you enter the Western Xia, you must follow the rules of the Western Xia people. "
Feng Yuting sat down on the soft couch and crossed her legs gracefully.
"You have to know, a strong dragon does not suppress a snake on the ground. She's only in such a big situation, so the Western Xia Emperor must be on high alert right now. If we act recklessly, all of our previous efforts would have been in vain. Furthermore, such a big thing has happened in Cigarette Water Pavilion, we still need to investigate it thoroughly. "
Her hand that was resting on the soft couch felt heavy, and her eyes also became fierce.
I don't believe that Hong Ting, whom I personally groomed, will be easily killed!
If the opponent was not a top-notch expert, he must be familiar with him.
The imperial capital of the Western Xia is only this big; I'll find this person sooner or later.
To dare go against my Red Sleeve House's people, how can I allow you to be so arrogant?! If I find you, I will make you pay.
In the Wei Mansion.
"Princess, what are your orders?" Cai Wei was suddenly called over by Yao Ziyan.
Yao Ziyan sat in front of the dressing table and stared at the water chestnut mirror, not even bothering to look at the people behind.
"Princess …" Cai Wei called out again, afraid that she wouldn't hear him.
"I heard you." Yao Ziyan responded indifferently, and slowly turned back.
There were fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and her normally smooth face was relaxed. She looked older than ten years.
Cai Wei suddenly saw her face and was shocked. "Esteemed wangfei, your face …"
"Am I getting old?" Yao Ziyan's tone was very calm, there wasn't the slightest bit of emotion on his face, "The medicine has almost all been consumed. What do you think I should do? "
"How did it end so quickly?" Cai Wei's face was full of surprise, "Weren't there still a lot more before?"
She swallowed the words at the tip of her tongue, not daring to continue.
"There aren't many things in the first place, so it's only a matter of time before I run out of things. There are only two pills left in the bottle, so this wangfei should sense them in advance. If you don't think of a way, you'll be in this state forever soon. "
Yao Ziyan said while looking at Cai Wei. Her expression was still very calm, as if she was talking about an ordinary thing that had nothing to do with her.
Cai Wei's heart could not help but be shocked. Her hand was drenched as she hurriedly put on a calm expression and said, "Esteemed wangfei, don't say it like this. You are currently young and beautiful, the heavens will not give up on you. There will be more. "
"Cai Wei, your words are not good to listen to. You have been by my side for so many years, and you are well aware of what the prince is capable of. You must understand that this consort has long passed her prime. I've worked so hard to maintain that face, but I still can't stop him. If I can't keep that face, then that's even more so. "
Yao Ziyan cast a sidelong glance at her, and said: "How rare is this medicine, even if I didn't say so, you would still have a plan in your heart. "Tell me, how can I find even more medicine?"
"Your Highness, your servant does not know …" Cai Wei lowered his head, afraid that she had grasped it perfectly.
"I guess you don't know either." Yao Ziyan said indifferently, he supported himself on the table and stood up. She picked up the porcelain bottle on the table, took out a pill and swallowed it. Cai Wei immediately went to pour a cup of water and presented it to her.
Yao Ziyan drank a mouthful of water and looked at her sideways, "You have been serving me for so many years, you sure know how to read people's eyes. Say, if the Prince has set his eyes on you and wants you to be the concubine, are you willing? "
"Esteemed wangfei, spare me!" This servant will definitely not dare! " Cai Wei's knees went soft as he fell down to the ground, flustered and helpless, "This servant admits that I'm a lowly person, even if you beat me to death I wouldn't dare to think like that! The Empress is enlightened! "
"You really don't dare?" Yao Ziyan lowered her head to look at her with a smile that was not a smile, "The prince has raised so many women outside that he is still not as good as you. If those women can serve him, why can't you? "
"" Cai Wei knelt, not daring to make a sound. She did not even dare to breathe loudly.
A long time later.
"Alright, get up." As if Yao Ziyan had lost interest in her, she finally revealed a smile and helped her up, "Even if he wanted to, I would never agree to it. "I only have a caring beauty by my side, if he even tricked you away, then where would I be able to find someone like you who's so caring and knows how to handle things?"
Cai Wei lowered her head and did not dare to look at her, and Yao Ziyan did not care about her reaction. She dressed in front of the mirror, and because she had eaten the "Spring Rejuvenation Pill", her appearance was slowly changing.
Cai Wei quietly raised her head, she cautiously looked into the mirror, and a cold glint flashed past her eyes.
The "Spring Restoration Immortal Pill" was indeed magical. It could make people return to their prime, allowing them to live forever.
But what was the use of having a beauty that was constantly maintained by medicine? Once she lost this pill, she, Yao Ziyan, would be nothing.
"Cai Wei." Yao Ziyan suddenly called out.
"Yes, your servant is here."
"Go somewhere and retrieve something for me." Yao Ziyan suddenly picked up one of the inconspicuous rouge boxes from the dressing table and placed it on Cai Wei's hand. He then whispered into her ear about a place.
"Do you remember?"
Cai Wei blinked her eyes.
Yao Ziyan said with a cold face. "You must keep your whereabouts a secret. Otherwise, I will let you have a hard time! "
