Gan Qi finally plucked up the courage to put the words to his mouth and suddenly choked up, and his face slowly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but Su Yu didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued to speak in an optimistic tone. : "The slave is just a servant. The reason why the emperor values the slave is just because of the hard work of serving the slave for so many years. How can he treat the slave in a different way? Do you think so?"
After finishing speaking, Su Yu looked at Gan Qi with a smile on his face, looking forward to asking for approval and affirmation.
Gan Qi felt bitter for a while, and sure enough, the reason why his sweetheart would protect him everywhere was just to protect his master from the status of master and servant, not for the person he loved.
It was clearly something that he had known for a long time. At this time, it was really spit out from his sweetheart, and Gan Qi still couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart. It was a bit uncomfortable to be rejected before he expressed his intentions.
"Yes, you're right." Gan Qi's voice was full of bitterness. He thought this taste was enough to ecstasy, but he didn't expect more ecstasy to come.
Two hours later, just as Gan Qihuai was about to go to bed with full of sadness, she saw Su Yu walked in slowly with a tray hunched over. The tray was covered with a red cloth, and she couldn't see what was underneath. However, an ominous foreboding had already arisen in Qian Qi's heart.
When Su Yu stood in front of him, Gan Qi frowned slightly and asked, "What is this?"
Su Yu smiled but did not say a word, and only stretched out his hand and slowly pulled the red cloth off the tray, revealing the rows of unopened wooden signs on it.
Gan Qi's brows twitched, and his brows furrowed even more: "What are you doing?"
"As the emperor saw, the slave is asking the emperor to flip the brand." Su Yu said with a smile.
Gan Qi's brows were almost raised. If he remembered correctly, there seemed to be only one concubine in the entire harem, and this person had just been sent to the cold palace by himself, so what exactly was written on the eighteen signs? What
Could it be that it's all empty, or has the same name written on it
But no matter what was written on it, Gan Qi had no intention of flipping the brand: "I don't want to flip the brand."
Su Yu licked her face and leaned forward, thinking in her heart that if you really dare to flip the brand, I will dare to castrate you with one knife. It happened that we were eunuchs together, but he said with a smile: "This brand But the servant carefully prepared it, the emperor will turn it over, right?"
"I won't turn it over!" In other matters, Qi can follow his sweetheart, but in this matter, he must not step back, otherwise how can he be worthy of his own heart
Seeing that Gan Qi's refusal attitude was quite firm, Su Yu decided to give his lover a little sweetness. He hesitated for a moment, put the tray on the table, and slowly spread his hands in front of Gan Qi : "Your Majesty, these wooden signs are all carved by the servants. You see that the servants have been cut several times by knives. For the servant's diligence, will you turn over a brand?"
Su Yu's two hands now look fair and thin, with a sense of beauty between the flexibility of men and the softness of women. Coupled with a few light and tender red knife marks, it instantly evokes Gan Qi's distress and desire for protection. .
"Why are you so careless?" Gan Qi grabbed Su Yu's hand, but did not dare to use too much force, for fear of hurting him.
Su Yu let Gan Qi hold it and said with a smile: "Isn't the servant trying to make these little wooden cards? If the emperor really loves the servant, he will flip a brand from it, right?"
In order to complete the main task, Su Yu also worked hard, and even came up with this idea.
Hearing that, Gan Qi's distress is unabated, but he has no choice but to add a few points. His sweetheart even insists on flipping the brand by himself. Who can understand the pain involved
Gan Qi was hesitating about how to refuse the request of his sweetheart without hurting the other party, but Su Yu played cards out of common sense, and even grabbed Gan Qi's hand with his backhand and dragged it to the tray.
When Gan Qi reacted, he was about to withdraw his hands, but it was too late. A wooden sign placed in the corner had been turned over. Gan Qi was angry and helpless for a while, and was about to reprimand his naughty sweetheart. But after seeing the writing on the wooden sign, he was instantly stunned: "Bean... rot?"
Who can tell him why this kind of thing is engraved on the sign carefully prepared for him by his chief clerk? !
Su Yu picked up the flipped sign with a smile on her face, and heard the ball reminding the progress of the main quest to increase from 0% to 2%, and her mood suddenly improved: "Since the emperor chose tofu, tomorrow's breakfast will be available. It takes three chopsticks to eat."
Although theoretically speaking, in an ancient court, flipping the brand generally refers to asking the emperor to flip the brand of the concubine, but this is not clearly stated in the task, so it is okay for Su Yu to take a loop, right
Gan Qi twitched the corners of his mouth and looked at Su Yu, and then at the remaining signs that had not been opened, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
"Is the emperor curious about what other signs are engraved on? Don't worry, the emperor. In the future, the servants will come to ask the emperor to flip the sign every night." These eighteen signs are all the food that Gan Qi hates the most. , he took a lot of thought to think so completely.
Looking at Su Yu smilingly putting the red cloth back on and carrying it out, Gan Qi was just bitter in her heart before, and her mouth began to feel bitter, but thinking of the hands she was holding just now, Gan Qi's heart moved, and those hands were holding the so comfortable.
Just when Gan Qi's eyes began to faintly glow green, Su Yu left and returned, standing in front of Gan Qi and smiled softly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, the servant will serve you and sleep peacefully."
Gan Qi's eyes instantly radiated radiance, and somewhere on his body was instantly cheered up, but even if he was cheered up at this time, it was just self-torture.
Realizing this, the light in Gan Qi's eyes slowly dissipated. He secretly took a deep breath and tried to suppress the throbbing in his heart and body: "No need, you don't need to serve today."
Just seeing this person, Gan Qi was almost unable to suppress the throbbing in his heart. If he called him close again, he might not be able to sleep well tonight.
"The emperor doesn't let the servants serve, does he really hate the servants?" Su Yu moved out of the previous trick again, and put on a pitiful look.
Whether it is to make himself suffer or make his sweetheart sad, Gan Qi sighed helplessly, and quickly made a choice: "After serving me, you should rest earlier, you are in good shape, and the night watch will be left to others. Come and do it. You can rest in peace tomorrow, and you don't have to come to serve."
"Thank you so much for the emperor's sympathy." Su Yu immediately smiled and stepped forward to help Qi undress. Naturally, he had to eat tofu in the process.
After eating the tofu, Su Yu went to bed with a good mood. As for whether Gan Qi could sleep well, Su Yu said that he would pay attention to this issue when the account was settled.
With Gan Qi's special approval, Su Yu fell asleep and woke up naturally the next day. He actually woke up once during the process. He was always alert when he slept. Suddenly someone appeared beside his couch. Naturally, Su Yu would not be unprepared, but found that After this person was not someone else, but his lover, he fell asleep again with confidence.
So he didn't know that after he fell asleep again, Gan Qi almost kissed him, it was indeed only a little distance away, but Gan Qi finally held back.
After breakfast, Su Yu swayed all the way to the imperial kitchen, and called the chief cook over to ask: "Is the meal ready for Empress Yifei?"
Pao's eyes flashed, and he replied respectfully, "The emperor opened a small kitchen for Concubine Yi before, so concubine Yi's meals are not prepared here."
Su Yu raised his eyebrows, but he forgot about it: "Then, from today onwards, let's withdraw the small kitchen of Yiran Residence. In the future, the meals of Concubine Yi will be delivered from here."
After finishing speaking, seeing the appearance of the Chief Pao not daring to answer, he added: "This is what the emperor meant."
This time, the chief cook answered neatly: "The slave will send someone to take care of this matter later."
Su Yu nodded, and said lightly: "Concubine Yi has been very angry recently. When preparing meals for her, adding some rhizomes in it is considered to reduce the fire for the concubine."
Pao Chang glanced at Su Yu secretly, and finally agreed to this matter: "The slave can save it."
Su Yu walked around the imperial dining room again, and said to Pao Chang with a half-smile as he left: "This imperial dining room is well managed by you, and I will say a few good words for you in front of the emperor."
"Then the slave has thanked the father-in-law for his kindness." The smile on Pao Chang's face suddenly became more sincere.
But Su Yu is not very happy. If we don't call him "Father-in-law", we can continue to cooperate happily.
When Su Yu returned to the new residence, Gan Qi had already gone to court and was dealing with government affairs in the study outside the palace. Su Yu was about to brush up on her presence, but heard the ball suddenly say at this time: "Master host, I just caught a message."
"What news?" Su Yu turned a corner and went back to the side hall first.
"A little palace maid in Yiran Curie died. Although it looked like she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well, she actually died of poisoning." Yuan Qiu told Su Yu the news.
After a moment of silence, Su Yu said solemnly: "You stare at some Yuelian, don't let her have a chance to attack Qin Yiran."
The topic jumped too fast, and the ball couldn't keep up with the rhythm: "Isn't Yuelian sent by the Seventh Lord to help her? How could she attack the heroine?"
"The seventh prince is different from Gan Qi, who has no IQ. How much do you think he loves Qin Yiran? Even if there is love, it is a mixture of love and interests. Now Gan Qi's attitude towards Qin Yiran has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Seventh Lord's attitude towards her will also change accordingly, how long can you go with love for a chess piece that is no longer worth using?" Su Yu poured herself a glass of water, drinking, and explaining to the ball, " Besides, Yuelian is not a good person."
Previously, Qin Yiran angered Gan Qi and was dragged out by covering her mouth. She, a servant who was present from beginning to end, never said a single word of begging for mercy.
The ball responded with a vague understanding. Su Yu was about to get up and go to Gan Qi to check his presence, but he heard the ball say again: "Master host, I just caught another news."
Su Yu raised his eyebrows: "Speak."
The ball swayed: "The Seventh Prince seems to have entered the palace."
