Yan Li's brows were finally completely relaxed, and his eyes were looking tens of miles away: "As long as there is Chang'an, the Great Jing Kingdom will not be destroyed!"
Back in the palace, he told the eunuch: "I am happy today. You go to the imperial dining room and add two side dishes and a bottle of shochu for me. I want to make a speech for Queen Rong and celebrate."
Seeing that Yan Li was in high spirits, the eunuch was also happy, and smiled all over his face: "Slave, let's prepare now! If the emperor doesn't dislike it, this slave is willing to have three drinks or two with the emperor."
Yan Li smiled: "If my father-in-law can drink it, how can I begrudge this bottle of good wine!"
The eunuch patted the two big sleeves vigorously, as if there was a lot of dirt on the sleeves: "Thank you, Lord Ron!"
Being able to dine with the emperor is an honor that many people can't wait for.
The eunuch walked briskly, and was about to leave the Shang's study, when an official from Honglu Temple begged to see him outside, saying that a special envoy from a foreign country had paid tribute to a treasure.
"Show him in!" People are refreshed on happy occasions, and now Yan Li speaks in a much higher tone than before. "I want to see what kind of baby it is!"
The officials of the Honglu Temple brought the treasure in for the eunuch to take over. The baby was placed in a beautifully decorated box, and the eunuch opened it to see, but it was a golden vest.
"Your Majesty, it's a small shirt." The eunuch grinned happily and said, then took out the vest and shook it off, it was really golden, blinding people's eyes.
Yan Li was also dumbfounded! When touched by hand, it is extremely soft, as if made of silk, but when touched carefully, it is extremely tenacious.
"What material is this little shirt made of?"
The Honglu Temple official said: "According to foreign envoys, this is made of special metal material, impenetrable by fire and water, impenetrable by swords and guns, and it is a life-saving magic weapon."
The eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if you had worn this little shirt earlier, you wouldn't have to be afraid of that assassin!"
Yan Li fiddled with the vest, seeming to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be saying to the eunuchs and the officials of Honglu Temple: "There are very few places where I can use it, but Chang'an will not use this vest if he wears this vest." Life is in danger."
Yan Li still put the vest in the box, with a satisfied smile on his face: "I like this vest very much, you go and tell the special envoy that I have accepted it, and if I have time someday, I will entertain the special envoy."
After the Honglu Temple officials left, Yan Li immediately said to the eunuch: "I'm going to Fengming Palace, you go with me! I'll have a drink with you when I get back this vest."
So, the eunuch led the way, and Yan Li and Yan Li came to Fengming Palace under the quiet moonlight.
With Rong Chang'an not around, Chuntao was the only one in the palace.
On a whim, Yan Li didn't use the booklet, so when he came to the palace, Chuntao didn't pay attention. Yan Li saw her smearing something on her face in front of the bronze mirror under the candlelight.
Yan Li smiled: "Chuntao usually sees her big and big, but she also loves beauty so much, she puts rouge and gouache on her face!"
The eunuch snorted: "A girl is a girl, no matter how much rouge and gouache you put on, you are still a monkey's ass, and you can't be a master!"
When the eunuch said these words, he didn't know that he was also scolding himself. Maids and eunuchs are of the same class, serving the emperor, empress, and noble concubines in the palace, there is actually not much difference.
Yan Li said sternly: "What's bothering you when she puts on rouge and gouache? You scold her like this? If you're jealous, I'll send you a big box of rouge and gouache when you go back, so you can put on enough!"
Unexpectedly, Yan Li's reaction was so intense, the eunuch retracted his head into his neck.
"Slave... The slave is just talking casually, and has no jealousy."
Yan Li snorted coldly: "It's good if you don't have one."
Before stepping into the threshold of the room, Yan Li coughed twice. Chuntao was taken aback, her neck stretched out as high as the ceiling, and she looked surprised and terrified.
"Emperor... Your Majesty! You... why are you here?"
Yan Li's eyes were sharp, and he had seen that what Chuntao was holding in her hand was not a makeup box of rouge and powder, and her face was a little bruised and swollen, but she deliberately turned her face away, turning her face away from the light.
"Chuntao, what happened to your face?"
Chuntao stammered: "No... nothing!"
"Nothing, why are you hiding from me?"
"Chuntao didn't hide from the emperor!"
The eunuch shouted: "Bold girl, the emperor told you to turn around! Turn around!"
Chuntao was not afraid of Yan Li, but she was afraid of the eunuch, so she turned her face away, but lowered her face.
Yan Li took the box from her hand, and sniffed it close to his nose. It was indeed not rouge powder, and there was no other special smell.
"what is this?"
Chuntao twisted the white handkerchief in her hand: "It's just...just something to protect your face."
"What is it?"
Chuntao: "..."
The eunuch shouted impatiently, as if he was more anxious than Yan Li: "If the emperor asks you something, you should answer it honestly!"
Chuntao was silent.
Yan Li stretched out two fingers from his long sleeves, pinched Chuntao's chin, and lifted it up. Chuntao was ashamed and closed her eyes.
It's bruised and swollen, it's not being beaten, what is it
"Tell me, who did this?"
Chuntao thought, if Ziyan confessed, Ziyan would definitely retaliate even more. Now that Rong Changan is not in the palace, it is really easy for Ziyan to take revenge on her.
"It's just that I accidentally bumped into the door and fell to the ground, that's why it became like this. I'm so sorry for making the emperor bother you!"
With those rolling eyes and evasive eyes, he knew he was lying.
"I'll ask you again, who did it?"
Chuntao is Rong Changan's servant, and beating Chuntao is beating Rong Changan. Rong Changan was throwing her head and blood outside to protect the safety of the imperial capital, but someone was dealing with her girl in the palace! Yan Li felt that he owed Rong Changan enough, if he couldn't even protect Chuntao, he would never have the face to see Rong Changan again.
Chuntao dodged her eyes: "..."
Even if she didn't say it, Yan Li seemed to know who it was. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Is it Ziyan?"
Chuntao was startled, shaking her hands: "No... no!"
"Hmph, except for her being so vicious, I can't think of anyone else."
Furious, Yan Li flicked his sleeves abruptly, turned around, and was about to leave. Suddenly remembered that he had other things to look for Chuntao today.
"Chuntao, I have a gift for the queen, how about you take it for me?"
Chuntao asked: "What gift?"
Yan Li brought the box over, and a yellow brocade was already wrapped on the box.
"The gift is in this box. It is a good treasure. The queen will like it very much if she sees it. Tomorrow morning, I will send some guards to take you out of the palace to the barracks."
If she could leave the palace and escape Ziyan's clutches, why wouldn't Chuntao go!
"That Chuntao will be delivered to the emperor tomorrow. Empress Rong has to like what the emperor sends!"
Yan Li smiled: "You girl, you have a sweet mouth, but you also have a lot! If you talk too much, you will be punished by Ziyan. You can rest, I still have some government affairs to deal with!"
Chuntao bowed her knees: "This servant sends the emperor respectfully!"
Yan Li left Fengming Palace, but did not go in the direction of Shang's study.
"Your majesty, you are..."
Yan Li's eyes were like fire: "I'm going to Fengwu Palace!"
