Queen Ti took a sip of tea, glanced sideways at Ye Lizhu, raised her lips, but said nothing.
Ye Lizhu just stood aside. The queen didn't say anything, and she didn't take the initiative to say anything.
She was originally a silent and quiet girl.
After a long time, Queen Ti said: "Miss Ye, come here and sit next to me."
Ye Lizhu sat over.
Queen Ti suddenly lifted Ye Lizhu's chin and said, "Let me take a closer look."
Ye Lizhu couldn't avoid it, and the queen held her chin in her hand.
Queen Ti looked at the little girl again. Previously, I only thought that the little girl was young and cute, with a very good appearance. Now that I looked carefully, I only thought that her features and eyes were quite beguiling. Anyone who looks at these sparkling eyes will fall into them.
When Queen Ti looked at her, she also looked at Queen Ti.
The queen is well-maintained and looks like a young girl. But if you look closer, you can still see that there are still many differences between her and the girl. Queen Ti's eyes were deep-set, gloomy and not cheerful at all. There were lines at the corners of her eyes, and some obvious nasolabial folds.
Ye Lizhu's eyelashes trembled.
Queen Ti said: "There will be a competition at the martial arts training ground tomorrow. King Qin, the Crown Prince and others are all there, as well as other young people. Miss Ye, I will send someone to pick you up."
Although Ye Lizhu had many things she didn't understand, she didn't ask.
Queen Ti suddenly invited her to watch some competition, which had a profound meaning. Ye Lizhu wanted to ask her father when she went back, but now she just smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are so kind."
Queen Ti left Ye Lizhu to have a meal in the palace and then sent her back.
After Ye Lizhu left, Mei Zhi, the personal palace maid, said: "My Lady, are you trying to bring Miss Ye and His Highness the King of Qin together?"
Queen Ti is the biological sister of King Qin, so she will naturally not harm King Qin. Whatever King Qin likes, the Queen will not destroy.
Empress Ti gently pressed her middle finger between her eyebrows and said in a calm voice: "It depends on fate. If she can live to that time, I will not stop her. I'm afraid that Xianzhou is so far away and she hasn't arrived in Xianzhou yet. His life is gone.”
Mei Zhi sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is really like this. He usually doesn't like people easily, but he likes them as soon as he likes them. If Miss Ye is gone, where can I find another one as beautiful as her? I still remember, ten When I first met Mrs. Ye a few years ago, Mrs. Ye's appearance and temperament shocked everyone in the palace. Even the Queen Mother praised Mrs. Ye as an unparalleled beauty. Now Miss Ye is even more beautiful than Mrs. Ye. It’s rare in the world. Our Highness, King Qin, just fell in love with this... "
Queen Ti said: "Is the Cordyceps sinensis presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs this month still there? Pick two thousand-year-old ginseng plants and send them over. There are also a pair of Canaan fragrant wood bracelets inlaid with gold beads in the warehouse, and a gold-engraved Pixiu. These two It is used to ward off evil spirits. People say that the day of her birth is unknown and she has evil spirits in her body. I hope this girl can live for a while, but I must warm Tixiao's heart first."
Mei Zhi wrote them down one by one and asked her confidant, the little palace maid, to hurry up and do it. She added: "Your Majesty, today the noble concubine is in trouble. After today, she will definitely talk nonsense in front of His Majesty."
A cold look flashed in Queen Ti's eyes: "Let her stir things up first, just ignore it."
It has been more than ten years since they entered the palace, and Queen Ti and Concubine Sheng have also been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years. Empress Ti had given up on the emperor a long time ago. She only hoped that the emperor would die soon and the prince would inherit the throne soon.
The emperor naturally went to Concubine Sheng again.
His favorite is Concubine Sheng. Concubine Sheng can act coquettishly, unlike the queen who always puts on hypocritical airs.
After drinking some wine, Concubine Sheng said: "Your Majesty, today I met Ye Fu'an's girl. The girl is very pretty, but her figure is indeed a bit worse. I just asked someone to pierce her ears, and she turned out to be just like that." Passed out."
The emperor was lying on the couch: "Okay, why don't you pierce your ears?"
Concubine Sheng knelt down and beat his legs: "I also have good intentions... Today the queen entertained Miss Ye, and I would like to entertain her tomorrow too. Your Majesty, you know that Yi'er has always been made things difficult for her. If Prime Minister Ye succeeds again, If someone marries the crown prince, there will be no way for us two to survive."
The emperor was over forty years old and in the prime of life. He was also worried that the prince's power would grow and he would force him into the palace in the future.
So Zhao Yi was usually used to contain the prince.
Concubine Sheng looked at the emperor's face and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, there will be so many people at the martial arts training ground tomorrow, nothing will go wrong."
The emperor said: "If she is someone else's daughter, Yi'er can play with it if she wants. But Ye Fuancheng is quite sophisticated and has a tough hand. Don't let Yi'er humiliate her when they can't get married."
Concubine Sheng nodded and said, "What your Majesty said is absolutely correct, and I understand it too."
...
As soon as Ye Lizhu returned to the mansion, the queen's reward also came.
When Wu received the news that Ye Lizhu was coming back, she was naturally waiting at Jingshuixuan. Everyone in the palace was there. As the mistress of the Ye family, she had to behave well.
Wu asked Ye Lizhu about the situation in the palace. When she heard that Ye Lizhu had her ears pierced and fainted, Wu felt a little proud.
She felt that Ye Lizhu must have offended Concubine Sheng.
Concubine Sheng is not a good character, and Ye Lizhu has not given her enough face. She will definitely have trouble with Ye Lizhu in the future.
But on the surface, Wu Shi still smiled and said: "I just said that the young lady is too weak to go out. No, she fainted as soon as she went out."

Aunt Lan Xin said: "Ms. Ye has a good rest today, and she will have to move around tomorrow. There will be many people watching the competition tomorrow, including the princesses of the clan, as well as the ladies of second-grade officials and above, so there will definitely be exchanges of greetings."
Wu Shi's smile suddenly faded.
Yes, tomorrow is the day for the clan boys to compete in the martial arts training ground.
As soon as Ye Lizhu returned to the capital, she attracted the attention of the crown prince and the second prince. Who knows who she will attract tomorrow.
Wu Shi originally thought that Ye Lizhu, who had been raised outside for so many years, would definitely be a rustic and ignorant little girl. But this time she came back, which really surprised Wu Shi.
Wu didn't want Ye Lizhu to be in the limelight.
Everyone remembers the Jiang family. Even if the Wu family has been straightened up, when they mention Ye Fu'an's wife, others will still think of the Jiang family who came from Wanzhou. With Ye Lizhu, others' impression of Mr. Jiang will only be deeper.
It was obvious that Mr. Jiang had died a long time ago.
Wu Shi felt a thorn in her heart. She glanced at Ye Lizhu and said, "In this case, Miss, please have a good rest today."
Ye Lizhu nodded. Later, Ye Lizhu went to her father and told her that the queen wanted her to enter the palace tomorrow. It happened that Ye Jiayou would also accompany Ye Lizhu tomorrow, so Ye Fu'an was not worried.
Ye Lizhu hesitated for a long time, but still did not ask Ye Fu'an the identity of the man. It was better for her to find out by herself. Asking Ye Fu'an, she was afraid that her father would think that she was interested in that person.
After returning to Jingshui Xuan, Ye Lizhu went to bed early after being tired for a day.
In the middle of the night, Ye Lizhu felt her chest felt tight, and she opened her eyes.
The tent was dark and there was a faint cold fragrance. Ye Lizhu covered her chest and suddenly felt cold all over her body, with the cold air rising from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She opened the curtain, originally asking the maid to make some ginger tea for her. As soon as she opened the curtain, she felt black air coming in front of her eyes. It seemed like a ghost was shouting in her ears, and a ferocious shadow seemed to come from behind. She crawled out of the water, dripping wet with a sinister air, as if she was trying to kill her.
Ye Lizhu was so frightened by the sight that she turned pale, her body felt cold and hot, and finally she passed out before she could speak.
In Wu's room, a female Taoist priest in a green robe extinguished the candle incense in her hand.
Wu looked at the old female Taoist: "Sir, what's the matter?"
"She is haunted by evil spirits and cannot survive more than two months." The female Taoist's voice was hoarse and unpleasant. "Don't cast too many spells. Her sudden death will arouse suspicion."
Wu held the Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "I know it too. Xing'er, bring the money and give it to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu is working too hard."
...
The next day, Tixiao woke up early.
He will return to Xianzhou in a few days, and when he comes back again, he will propose marriage six months later. In the past six months, Tixiao will arrange the affairs of Xianzhou properly. After getting married in the capital, he will take care of Ye Lizhu's health. After her health is improved, he will take her back to Xianzhou.
However, Ti Xiao has not yet decided how to speak to Ye Fu'an about the marriage proposal. However, he and Ye Li are both talented and handsome, and even if Ye Fu'an doesn't agree, Ti Xiao can still force him to agree.
Today, Ti Xiao will go to the clan talent competition. He will not fight easily because no matter how powerful others are, they cannot compare with him. But Ye Lizhu would go, and Tixiao changed his clothes early and tried his bow and arrow.
