If it were in normal times, he would not be so flustered.
But today, before he could even react to the shock, he was like a wooden log. Yuwen He, this person, would just pull on the string and if he moved, Yuwen He would stop pulling and he would stop moving.
Xiao Ruyue found it funny.
Although the timing was inappropriate, she was unable to hold it in.
She smiled, and Yuwen He, who was sitting, looked at her. Du Ziheng, who was kneeling on the ground, also raised his head when he heard her.
"Your Majesty, don't scare Lord Du." Xiao Ruyue said without changing her expression, "Although there is no clear rule in Da Xia Empire that forbids females from entering the imperial court, there is no precedent for females to become officials. Master Du's thoughts are not wrong."
She was calm and composed, with a hint of innocence in her tone.
Yuwen He laughed inwardly, and did not expose her. He said in a neutral tone: "Un, if Master Du thinks this way, then we are wrong. If word of this gets out, how will outsiders view us? "
Xiao Ruyue, "…" She was almost choked to death by his words.
Yuwen He, you must be doing this on purpose.
Du Ziheng was stunned, he was not at all stunned, he knelt there motionlessly, and looked at Yuwen He blankly.
Yuwen He's brows slightly rose, "Mr Du, please get up. You did not see anything today. You don't know anything about this either. "
Du Ziheng: "Ah?"
"Ah what? You don't want to get up?" The corner of Yuwen He's mouth twitched, he was extremely evil.
Du Ziheng was still in a daze, but Chong Yang looked at him and quickly pulled him up.
When Du Ziheng was still in a daze, Yuwen He said, "Du Qingjie, you still haven't told me how to decipher that book of poems you wrote last time."
Once again, he was unable to react.
Coming out of Taibai Lou. Xiao Ruyue was in front, Qing Qing followed her closely, leaving Yuwen He and Chong Yang behind.
"Madam, are you angry?" Qing Qing whispered to her.
Xiao Ruyue turned to look at her, smiling without saying a word.
Yuwen He quickly caught up with her, causing Qingqing to tactfully retreat and follow Chong Yang.
"You're really angry?" Yuwen He took the initiative to hold Xiao Ruyue's hand.
She ignored him.
"Du Ziheng has already returned safely. He will not leak a single word of this matter." Yuwen He said again.
"…" Xiao Ruyue still ignored him.
Yuwen He simply held onto her wrist, "Good wife, don't be angry. I never told you it was my fault. Your husband knows his wrongs. Let's talk about it when we get back, alright? "
Xiao Ruyue heard and stopped in his tracks, turning to look at him, "You admit your wrongs now?"
Yuwen He nodded his head.
"Then what did you do?" Xiao Ruyue rolled his eyes at him.
A certain Lord could not respond.
Xiao Ruyue started walking faster and faster. She followed behind her with a wronged look on her face as she mumbled to himself, "I won't dare to do it again."
The empress spat out a mouthful of blood.
What are you trying to act cute for, Yuwen He!
"Don't be angry, at most, you can do whatever you want after we get back. From now on, you can just listen to whatever you want to do."
Yuwen He was still muttering behind him. Unable to endure anymore, he suddenly turned around, "Enough!"
"Alright!"
Xiao Ruyue sighed, and waved her hand at Qingqing. Qingqing looked at Yuwen He, and only dared to step forward when she was certain that the Sovereign King did not order her to do so.
"You can switch seats with him later." After saying that, he stepped onto the bench and got into the car.
Yuwen He looked at the carriage and laughed out loud.
Qing Qing was no longer able to laugh.
On the way back, Qing Qing felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
Letting His Majesty sit outside, she felt uneasy. She always felt a chill down her neck, as if her head might fall off at any moment.
Why is my life so hanging by a thread?
Xiao Ruyue looked at her, her heart at ease.
Although Yuwen He had set her up, but at least he helped her settle a matter of mind, and it was not unforgivable.
However, his arrogance couldn't grow. Otherwise, the hole he dug would bury her.
The guests in Flowers and Moons came like the clouds.
Seeking Flower never lacked rich and powerful people, especially in Flowers and Moons. Hong Dan, who was in her early thirties, covered her face with a thick layer of powder as she shuttled between the guests.
She walked through the crowd as if nothing had happened and into the backyard.
Feng Yuting was standing by the window, looking at the lights in the distance. From afar, she could see that the girl was slim and graceful.
The old procuress Hong Dan's footsteps paused at the door, took a deep breath, and called out: "Master."
"Come in."
Feng Yuting, who was standing at the window, swept his eyes over her and then turned back.
Hong Dan did not dare hesitate as she pushed open the door and entered.
Hai Shi was also in the room, sitting around a table drinking. Tartars loved to drink, so did he, but he didn't dare to drink too much in the Western Xia area, and just drank a few mouthfuls to satisfy his craving.
Hong Dan went over to Feng Yuting and knelt down respectfully, "Master."
"Have you found the person you were looking for?" Feng Yuting turned his eyes, his gaze sharp.
"Found it." Hong Dan did not dare raise his head, "The sisters in the capital have contacted each other, OP has also passed down your orders."
"Yes."
Feng Yuting nodded with satisfaction and walked in front of Hai Shi, picked up the wine jug on the table and drank a mouthful of wine, "I know that ever since the incident in 2nd floor master, you guys have been worrying about whether our Red Sleeve House had lost control of himself or not. Rest assured, as long as I am here, no one can touch Red Sleeve House. "
"Yes, yes, yes. This subordinate understands." Hong Dan lowered her head and replied.
The corner of Feng Yuting's eyes glanced at her, but she did not say anything, "Our Red Sleeve House has been in operation in the Western Xia for many years, so it will not be a problem for us to have our 2nd floor master trapped in the palace for the time being. You should go to the Wei Wang Manor tomorrow personally and bring the Wei Wangfei here. "
"Yes." This subordinate will definitely bring the person over. "
After Hong Dan finished listening to the instructions, he went out.
Firstly, if she had left for too long, someone should have come to look for her. Secondly, she herself did not dare to stay in front of Feng Yuting.
The Tower Lord's face looked nice, but it was a viper and scorpion beauty with poison on it.
There were few people on the street. The carriage was speeding towards the palace. The wheels of the carriage rolled over the limestone and made rhythmic sounds. One after another, the sounds were so loud that it sounded like a dream.
That night, a certain king was unavoidably driven out of bed by the Empress, and he made a bed with his bedding roll in his arms.
The Empress ordered Fang Weiyong, "You are not allowed to make up his bed!"
Fang Weiyong was happy to watch from the sidelines. When he was glared at by His Majesty, he even used the Empress's words as a shield. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. "You once said that your words are the norm in the current affairs of state. The empress has the final say in the affairs of the imperial harem."
Yuwen He was speechless.
But then he thought: I'm afraid of my wife, it's not shameful.
With a wave of his hand, Fang Weiyong left the room and went back to make the bed.
Fang Weiyong left while holding back his laughter.
When Yin Lin and Lu Yi saw him, the three of them looked at each other, then turned their heads to cover their mouths and snickered.
Only the empress could have done such a thing to His Majesty.
On the second day, Xiao Ruyue still did not plan to bother with Yuwen He.
He ignored her in the morning, and after he left, Xiao Ruyue lazily got up to wash up. After eating breakfast, he went to Lushua Hall to pay his respects to Empress Dowager.
In the past, she would always find time to go back to the palace, and would personally deliver some things to the Empress Dowager.
"Lu Yi was the most skillful as she made a few delicate and tasty snacks to wear. Xiao Ruyue praised her skillful skills, whose luck it was to be married off to someone, causing Lu Yi's face to turn red from embarrassment.
The Empress Dowager had already eaten breakfast, so when she saw Xiao Ruyue, he was overjoyed. She held Xiao Ruyue's hand and said repeatedly, "The empress is usually very busy, it's better to rest more. Actually, there's no need to come so early to say good morning. "
"It's not early, it's not early. Empress Dowager you have already woken up, how can I, a young man, continue sleeping lazily." Xiao Ruyue's smile was like a flower, as she pulled Empress Dowager's hand and sat down together with him.
"Empress Dowager, how are you?"
"Good, very good. "I'll be fine when you come." Empress Dowager was grinning from ear to ear.
No matter what, although Xiao Ruyue was a princess who came from the East Mausoleum, she saved her life. Furthermore, she was kind to others and took care of things well, she saw all of this in the old woman's eyes.
This kind of empress was one out of a hundred. Whether it was in terms of selfishness or public conscience, she was satisfied.
"Empress Dowager, Lu Yi specially made a few snacks for you. Try it later." "Recently, the weather has been getting hotter and hotter, and you're coughing a little. This is all because I had the imperial physician prepare a prescription for the medicinal food, and then had the green clothes make into a cake. It's good for your body if you eat a few during your free time."
"This is a very new way of saying it. This humble one has only heard of medicinal food, but has never seen anyone who can turn this medicine into a snack. " Empress Dowager's curiosity was piqued. He took the pastries and ate two pieces first.
He repeatedly praised, "Not bad, not bad. "I've always said that there would be a clever little girl from the Phoenix Palace. What a coincidence, this medicine is made to the point where you cannot taste the slightest bit of it."
After praising them, he ate another two pieces.
Xiao Ruyue had just finished her breakfast. She had already reached her limit for eating so much, so Xiao Ruyue did not dare let the Empress Dowager eat more.
Empress Dowager was in a good mood as she received the two pieces of jewelry dressed in green. She then pulled Xiao Ruyue and chatted for a long time, even asking Lu Yi to share her experience in making snacks. Finally, when Xiao Ruyue and the others were about to leave, they suddenly thought of something and said —
"Empress, has this girl called Lu Yi ever given her permission? Such a good lady, if she were to be released in the future, I will have to carefully choose her in-laws. "
Xiao Ruyue nodded and said that she would take note of it.
After leaving Lushua Hall, Lu Yi was so embarrassed that she didn't have the face to meet anyone.
"What are you doing with your head down? I won't reveal it right now." Once things have been decided, I will definitely personally report this to Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager likes you so much, I will definitely reward you with a few gifts. " The heartless master did not forget to tease him.
Lu Yi covered her face in shame.
