Yan Li: "It's about the emperor's uncle. To be honest, I have always wanted to excuse the emperor's uncle, but I can't find any reason. What you said at the banquet is really impeccable and impeccable. The emperor's uncle's case has Such a big flaw, I can't see it. It is enough to prove that you are thoughtful and smart. I am sincerely happy that there is someone like you in the palace."
Rong Chang'an said humbly: "It's not that my words are impeccable, but the facts are like this. If you rashly conclude that the emperor's uncle is rebelling, no one will accept it."
Yan Li waited again, Rong Changan was still standing at the door, one foot stepped into the high threshold, the other foot was still outside the threshold, and Yan Li's right foot had already stepped up a step.
"Xue'er, don't you really want to invite me in for a glass of water?"
Rong Changan shook his head: "Another day!"
Eunuch Lu gave Rong Changan a wink from the side, meaning to let Rong Changan invite Yan Li in. But Rong Changan pretended not to see it.
Yan Li didn't feel embarrassed, but felt that Xueer was becoming more and more fascinating to him, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Okay, I don't force others to be difficult. Now that you are talented, you can't live with ordinary court ladies. Eunuch Lu!"
Eunuch Lu seemed eager for Yan Li to call him, and when he heard his call, he responded happily: "Your Majesty, the servant is here!"
"I will leave Xue Cairen's residence to you. You must choose a quiet and clean place for Xue Cairen to live in. If she is not satisfied, I will ask for you!"
"Yes!" Eunuch Lu couldn't wait to do something like this to please his concubine! Isn't it difficult to choose a good place in the palace
Yan Li's eyes showed nostalgia for Xue'er: "Then I will go back to Yong'an Palace."
Rong Changan bowed his head and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to clean up the emperor's room on time."
At this time, silence is better than sound, and a simple dialogue is more lingering than a long speech. Yan Li turned around, but remembered one more thing.
"The day seems to be changing again, do Xue'er have thick clothes in her room?"
Rong Changan: "The scarlet cloak today is thicker."
Yan Li looked at Eunuch Lu, and Eunuch Lu grabbed his head: "Needless to say, Your Majesty, tomorrow, I'll invite a tailor from the palace to come over and make some winter clothes for Xuecai himself. "
Yan Li nodded in satisfaction, looked up at the looming moon, and the north wind blew past their faces.
"The confinement bends and shines on Kyushu, some families are happy and some are sad. ——Xue'er, good night!"
"Good night, Your Majesty!"
…
In Jiaogong, the north wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the yellow leaves on the ground are flying all over the sky. In the warm pavilion in the back garden, behind the bamboo curtain and in front of the lady's screen, cigarettes are lingering and hot tea is fragrant. A court lady played "High Mountain and Flowing Water" on the side, while Chu Lin and Zi Yan were sipping tea and talking.
Chu Lin was still brooding, his eyes were scarlet and his cheeks were puffed up, even drinking five cups of fragrant tea in a row could not quench his inner anger.
"Last night, you were not here, imperial concubine. I was so pissed off. I don't know where such a talented person came from."
At this time, Ziyan still didn't know who the talented person Chu Lin was talking about, so she smiled slightly, with a spring on her face: "Which talented person offended Master Chu, the deputy commander of the Guards? Now you are the commander of the Northern Army, The celebrity in front of the emperor, someone dares to provoke you? I really can't believe it!"
Chu Lin frowned: "Concubine, don't you know that there is a very favored talent in the palace?"
The second course of tea has been finished, and Ziyan is making the second course of tea for Chu Lin, pouring boiling water into the justice cup, swishing it, filtering out the boiling water, and putting in the boiling water again.
"Is there a talented person who is favored? Why haven't I heard of it in the palace? What's her name?"
Chu Lin: "It's called Xue'er, it has mesmerized the emperor!"
"Ouch... hiss..."
Chu Lin opened his eyes wide: "Concubine, what's wrong with you?"
Boiled water spilled on her plain hands, which turned red, but she was more concerned about Xue'er.
"Xue'er is talented? She's not..."
Chu Lin was furious: "Last night, in front of us, the emperor canonized her as a talented person. The emperor seems to like her very much and listens to her in everything. It seems that Xue'er is not on the same side as us, just last night , she actually said to the emperor..."
"What are you talking about?" Zi Yan looked at Chu Lin with piercing eyes.
Chu Lin: "She actually asked the emperor to re-investigate the case of Yan Shijie and Jin Renxin!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Zi Yan stood up and pouted her mouth: "The emperor promised to investigate thoroughly?"
"Just this morning, the emperor appointed another minister to investigate, which means that the people from Yushitai and I have no right to intervene in the case of Yan Shijie and Jin Renxin."
Ziyan's original plan was to exile Yan Shijie, and then kill him halfway to avoid future troubles; and then kill Jin Renxin. Unexpectedly, Xue'er's words made Yan Li change his mind and appointed other officials to investigate.
A knife-like light shot out from Zi Yan's eyes: "You didn't tell any more lies, it was Xueer who suggested the emperor to do it?"
"Oh, what did I lie to you for? At that time, many ministers and foreign guests were there, and they saw and heard it with their own eyes. Concubine, tell me, what should we do? This Xueer is not a good thing for us, how about Find a chance to send her to prison too?"
Zi Yan suddenly yelled angrily: "Stop playing, jingling, I don't know what you are playing!"
The court lady who was playing the tune was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground: "My concubine, spare me!"
"Get out!" Zi Yan shouted impatiently.
The palace maid hugged Qin and hurried out of the Nuan Pavilion.
Zi Yan walked back and forth, walking back and forth, sometimes slow and sometimes fast.
"Let's not be in a hurry to attack her. I'll try and test her to see if she's willing to join us. If she doesn't, then it's not too late for us to attack. One more enemy is worse than one more friend. Besides, she is lucky now. Wouldn't it be a good thing if it could be used by us?"
Chu Lin shook his head: "I don't think she will listen to you."
Zi Yan's eyebrows pressed her eyes: "Why?"
Fear flashed across Chu Lin's eyes: "Do you know whose shadow I saw in her eyes?"
Zi Yan was as nervous as an enemy: "Who?"
"Rong Chang'an!" Chu Lin spat out these three words word by word from between his teeth.
Zi Yan trembled slightly, speechless, after waiting for a long time, said: "No matter what, I have to try..."
At dusk, the north wind blew down a snow, which had just eased for two days, and now fell into the cold again. The wind and snow blocked the long corridors, the seemingly endless corridors, and the high pavilions and incense towers, all fell silent.
However, in the snowstorm, someone came to visit Rong Chang'an.
Xiao Xiao walked into the room from the outside: "Xue'er, Concubine Ziyan is outside the door, why don't you go to greet her?"
Ziyan is coming, this is in Rong Changan's expectation. It is absolutely impossible to ask her to go out to greet her, because Zi Yan is not qualified.
Rong Changan was sitting on the chair beside the bed, watching "Biography of Lie Nu": "Just tell her I'm not feeling well, come back another day!"
Xiao Xiao: "But you are not feeling well?"
Rong Changan smiled: "Just do as I tell you."
There was some dissatisfaction on Xiaoxiao's face: "Xue'er, have you just been canonized as a talented person by the emperor, and you are a little bit flustered, and you look down on Concubine Ziyan?"
Hmph, to be precise, Rong Chang'an has never thought highly of Zi Yan.
"It has nothing to do with looking down on her. I really don't want to see her now. It's cold, so I just want to go to bed and sleep under the quilt."
"But… "
Rong Changan: "Don't be so, my sister won't hurt you, just follow what I said, Ziyan imperial concubine dare not do anything to you."
