After tidying up Ye Huaiying that day, the Queen Mother's edict flew to Yefu the next day. It was rumored that Ye Huaiyang entered the palace for an audience, and Crescent Moon was about to dress her up, but she chose the most inconspicuous ru skirt over her. On his body, he casually pressed two begonia flower beads to his ears and went out.
"Miss, are you too plain?" Crescent Moon asked closely behind her.
"The more plain the better." Ye Huaiyang boarded the carriage without looking back, then leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes to doze off.
Chu Jinglan had just returned to the court, the two in the East Palace must have no time to care about other things, but now they suddenly called her into the palace, most of them knew about the flower viewing banquet. If she still dresses up beautifully, wouldn't it add to the fire
Thinking of this, she rubbed her eyebrows, and Jiao Rong exuded a bit of coldness.
Although Ye Huaiying was a bit stupid, she didn't have any scheming after all. She jumped at anyone if she had any thoughts. It was quite frank, but what happened to the King of Law? Even if he hates it again, he shouldn't use such heavy words, not to mention that Ye Huaiying was driven to a dead end, how could he see his own face better? It's downright vile!
She has written down this account horizontally and vertically, and she will calculate it with him if she has the opportunity.
However, even if her heart is burning hotter, she still has to restrain herself when she enters the palace gate, and she has to hide this scandal as if nothing had happened, and she can't teach outsiders to look down on the Ye family. where.
The autumn wind is bleak, the willows are sparsely drooping, and after passing the clear moat, the inner city of the palace is close to the eyes, and the overwhelming golden bricks and blue tiles are dazzling, but Ye Huaiyang walks all the way to the front of the Hanzhang Palace without squinting. The waiting Xiao Huangmen immediately bowed to give way when she saw her coming, and raised his right arm to push open the heavy hall door.
"The night girl is here, please."
The vermilion door will be opened, and there will be a coquettish smile from the inner hall. Ye Huaiyang walks slightly stagnant, and turns his head to ask: "But the ladies are greeting the Queen Mother?"
There was a deep smile on Xiao Huangmen's wrinkled face, and he said, "No, it's the young ladies of Wang, Xie, and Bai who came to listen to the Queen Mother's teachings."
Ye Huaiyang's eyes narrowed and she didn't say much, she just lifted her foot and walked in, sneering in her heart.
What is listening to the teachings, it is simply that the Queen Mother wants to use the topic to beat them together, to warn the big and small families in the capital, don't think about secret tricks to win over the forces! It seemed that she didn't even think about getting out of here today without a second thought. Thinking of this, she stood behind the peony screen and took a deep breath, then stepped into the hall.
"The ministers and daughters see the empress dowager, the goddess is blessed and safe."
The chatter and laughter in the hall stopped abruptly because of her, and several eyes shot over her, and she became the focus in an instant. Maybe the dress was too plain, and there was a sneer from the top. Don't think about it, dare to be so presumptuous in front of the queen mother. Yes, there is no other person besides Wang Wanting.
The queen mother who was sitting on the main seat looked away lightly, picked up the tea cup and flicked it, and then took a sip, her posture was graceful and unparalleled in luxury, and she said to Ye Huaiyang when the heat had dissipated: "Be flat, Give a seat."
Ye Huaiyang gathered up and thanked her, and immediately sat on the Taishi chair at the lower right, next to Xie's daughter Xie Yun.
"I remember that my sister loves dark colors. Why is she dressed so plainly today? Looking at it from a distance, I thought it was some ignorant palace maid breaking in."
Wang Wanting covered her mouth and chuckled, and the golden step on her head trembled, making her look like a arrogant peacock. Relying on the fact that she was the Queen Mother's niece, she recklessly attacked Ye Huaiyang, just to dampen her usual arrogance.
Ye Huaiyang's face was calm and calm, she raised her cherry lips and said lightly, "I'm not like my sister who has a calm heart. When I like the new and get tired of the old, I follow my own preferences without any scruples, but I let my sister see a joke."
"Is that so? My eyes are clumsy. My sister is a frank person." Wang Wanting snorted softly with her lips hooked.
There was a round of guns and swords, and there were people outside the hall visiting, but the inside of the hall knew nothing.
Xiao Huangmen squinted and looked at Xu Yu, and suddenly his whole body was tense, and the look of leaning on the old and betraying the old when he was facing Ye Huaiyang suddenly disappeared.
Chu Jinglan didn't look at him or called him up. With a straight body, he stared straight ahead, and a low voice escaped from his throat: "This king is here to visit the queen mother."
Xiao Huangmen made a difficult statement: "The Empress Dowager is now admonishing several noble girls, Wang Ye, look..."
"It's okay, this king can wait."
His articulation is clear, like cutting gold and breaking jade, very crisp and neat. Although there are only a few words, it is impossible to refute. That Xiao Huangmen wanted to invite him to sit in the side hall for a while. After hearing the sound and distinguishing the situation, a tongue Can Lianhua's mouth seemed to be stuffed with mud, and he couldn't utter a single word.
At this time, the conversation in the hall continued, and every word entered Chu Jinglan's ears.
"My younger sister is on her own, but unfortunately she is also responsible for the family. Those sisters from the clan have misbehaved. Shouldn't they be disciplined, so as not to ruin their reputation."
Ye Huaiyang lifted his eyelids and glanced at Wang Wanting, then lowered it again, the long butterfly-like eyelashes cast a thick shadow, covering the disgust hidden in the phoenix eyes.
"As expected of my sister, she went to Taixue to study, and the words she said benefited me a lot."
"Stop pretending!" Wang Wanting heard her sarcasm and stood up with clenched fists, "Who doesn't know that your Ye family's daughter is openly seducing Brother Lu Wang at the flower viewing banquet? My daughters are not the same, some people are just born accustomed to clinging to the camp, aunt, if I say that these people should be punished severely, otherwise how can they be taught a lesson?"
The empress dowager's brows moved almost imperceptibly, and her expression became more and more unfathomable. The old and Mi Rui's eyes just turned from Wang Wanting's temples, and taught her to feel cold and dare not say more.
Sure enough, Ye Huaiyang's words were in the middle of Ye Huaiyang's arms, she bent her pink lips, and said smoothly: "Sister is right, I also feel that I should be punished, but after all, not everyone can often listen to the teachings of the Queen Mother like us. What's the use of being punished once for a few days and then returning to the same old ways? So I think it's better to treat the symptoms rather than the root causes."
Wang Wanting was unaware that she had fallen into her trap. She didn't even notice the wink handed by her mother, and her mouth quickly blurted out: "What kind of cure do you mean?"
Ye Huaiyang raised his face, then stood up with his sleeves swept away, Lianbu moved to the Queen Mother and stated, "I heard from my brother that the emperor has always had the idea of setting up a women's school. Although the servant girl is the daughter of the boudoir, she has always looked up to the emperor Meiji, but now the concubine sister has made a big mistake, and the servant girl feels that she should contribute to the standardization of women's morality, so she asks the empress dowager's permission to let the Ye family pay silver. Ten thousand liang for the emperor to build a women's school."
The queen mother looked at Ye Huaiyang, her eyes were like knives, inch by inch across her slender body, but she didn't seem to feel it. wrong.
God knows, the emperor never said a word about it.
The ladies present here don’t know about this, not even the servants, only Ye Huaiyang and the Queen Mother know about it, and no matter how long it takes to collect the white money from taxes, the emperor has to wear the tall hat just to build a women’s school. After all, female officials are now springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
10,000 taels to redeem a virtuous handle, she is making a deal with the queen mother.
How could the wily queen mother not understand Ye Huaiyang's meaning? Although he was very angry, he couldn't refute her in front of everyone. After all, the emperor had already been dragged into the water by her, and there was no room for reversal.
"You have a heart."
Ye Huaiyang gave Ranfu again and said, "Thanks to the Empress Dowager's praise, the ministers and daughters are ashamed to be worthy of it. It is a blessing for the ministers and daughters to contribute to the society, but the Ye family's ability is limited, and it may be difficult to succeed. help."
In a word, all those who were standing on the sidelines were pulled down from their horses.
The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and swept over the people present one by one, as if she was thinking about something, the figure on the lower right moved suddenly, Xie Yun came forward with a lake blue skirt and knelt beside Ye Huaiyang.
"The ministers and daughters are not talented, and I am willing to follow the example of the Ye family's sister to pay 10,000 taels of silver to relieve the emperor's worries."
After saying this, the hall fell into silence for no reason.
Bai Shi didn't speak, probably because she didn't have money, but because the person who came here couldn't be the master, so she was caught in the middle. And everyone present was trapped in it. At this moment, my bowels are all green with regret, and I dare not say any more.
At this very embarrassing moment, the queen mother actually smiled.
"It's not enough just to have money. The foundation of learning lies in the teacher. The Wang family and the Bai family have produced many famous people, so this task will be handed over to you."
The two knelt down tremblingly and saluted: "The minister and daughter obey."
Chu Jinglan, who had been listening silently outside, slowly lifted his eyes. His eyes seemed to penetrate the door and wall directly into the hall, sliding across the marble steps like the silk satin swaying in the wind, landing silently on the ground.
The woman who was talking in the restaurant yesterday was in the hall, and she was still so articulate. It seemed that she was destined to see two Ye Family people in one day.
As if to confirm what he was thinking, the hall returned to silence, the doors opened in front of his eyes, and several noble ladies walked out one after another, and they were slightly stunned when they saw him, as if they had encountered a plague of snakes and insects and fled one after another. Chu Jinglan turned a blind eye, and stepped into the hall with a cold face and hands behind her back. Unexpectedly, she bumped into a thin shadow of Lingna at the corner.
She graciously saluted, and there was just a breeze blowing through the hall, blowing her robes to fly, and her blue silk fluttering.
"Ye Huaiyang sees the prince."
The wind whistled, but these words entered Chu Jinglan's ears with extreme precision, like flowing water hitting a stone. Dancing wildly in the wind, she stood still and looked up at him so quietly, but her eyes... seemed to be a little naked.
Simply rambunctious.
Chu Jinglan averted his gaze and walked towards the hall. The silver-gray robe swayed in an arc in the air, and soon disappeared into the slowly closing door until it was closed and disappeared.
Ye Huaiyang stood there stunned for a while, and then smiled to himself, with a slightly sullen expression.
He really doesn't remember her anymore...
