Conspiracy

Chapter 181 Affection in vain
When Yu Ziye returned to Shaohua Hall, the palace banquet was in full swing, taking advantage of the people's attention on Xiao Chuhong, he quietly walked around to Su Zhen from behind the pillar made of golden nanmu in the hall.

Gu Yunshu's eyes never left Xiao Chuhong, although he didn't need to rescue him, but seeing those poisonous snakes and beasts surrounding Xiao Chuhong, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Su Zhen teased, "Xiao Yezi, you're back so soon, did you not see it or dare not see it?"

Yu Ziye glared at her, "If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I'll make you dumb?"

Su Zhen snickered when she heard this, raised her hand and poured him a cup of tea, "Don't worry, take your time."

"Well, even though it's in the Empress Dowager's palace, I'm afraid it will damage her reputation if it gets out."

"Isn't that just what you want?"

For a moment, Yu Ziye really wanted to grab Su Zhen's neck.
"Stop making trouble, I'm really annoying!"

With one side of his body weak, he fell on her shoulder, raised his head and looked at the golden and jade decoration on his head, his mind wandering.

Su Zhen rested her chin on her left hand, her expression was lazy, and she was thinking about when Yin Shen and Mi Yao would return.

Xiao Chuhong, who was diagonally opposite, looked this way inadvertently, and was surprised to see that the two of them had a close relationship without any shyness.

Upon seeing this, Marquis Lin'an looked at Shang Jinyan, who winked at the maid beside her, and she immediately walked towards this side, intending to ask Yu Ziye to return to her seat.

Before they got close, the voice of the eunuch came from outside the hall again.

"Princess Jingyao is here."

Shang Jingyao and Yu Qingwan entered through the main entrance, they were graceful and graceful as they walked, with a gentle fragrance of fragrance.

The tip of Su Zhen's nose moved slightly, the fragrance on their bodies seemed to be Jiyuefang's 'Yi Ren Zui', and the hearts of those who heard it were swaying.This incense is ground into powder from various famous and precious spices, refined into honey, stored in a wooden mortar, pounded thousands of times, and made into pellets.Eat the fragrant pills, and the fragrance will last for more than a month.

They stepped into the hall, lowered their eyelids, and waited in the center of the hall, bowing respectfully.The voice is delicate, like the cry of a warbler.

"Jing Yao has met the emperor father and the empress mother."

"The courtiers see the emperor, empress empress."

"Jing'er, I'm holding a palace banquet in the palace, it's shameful for you to come so late."

Shang Yu frame has always loved this daughter very much. Although it was reprimanded, the meaning of pampering is obvious.

"Father, the emperor's grandmother is unwell. It is obviously a good thing for the son to be filial to the grandmother. Why are you still scolding the son?"

Shang Jingyao's tone was coquettish and her voice was sweet and soft, which made Shang Yu's original dissatisfaction disappear in an instant.

"In the palace, etiquette cannot be broken, and rules cannot be messed up."

Shang Yu framed the words as if he was listening to Shang Jingyao, but his eyes drifted to Xiao Chuhong, who pretended not to hear and drank in silence.

Zuo Xiang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess is straightforward and simple, and she abides by filial piety. Today is a banquet for General Xiao to clean up the dust. According to the old minister, don't blame the princess."

"You girl has a lot of face, even Ji Xiang speaks for you. Well, get up, don't spoil everyone's interest."

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shang Jingyao smiled happily, and stood up holding her skirt, and Yu Qingwan also got up with the help of the maid.

The moment she raised her eyes, everyone was amazed by her one after another. She had a delicate appearance, but her inherent stubbornness couldn't help but attract people's attention.

Needless to say, Yu Ziye never moved her eyes away from her appearance.

Shang Yu asked curiously, "Jing'er, which lady is this next to you?"

"Father, she is Yu Qingwan, the daughter-in-law of the Du Yushi family. We hit it off when we were in Hezhou before. Today, Qing Wan's younger sister happened to enter the capital, and my son took her around the palace, and then went to the imperial palace together. Greetings from the grandmother's palace."

"Oh? That's Yu Qianhu's younger sister. Yu Qianhu is an upright person, and her younger sister is dignified and virtuous. It seems that Du Yushi has taught the children of the family well."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment."

Du Yushi is nearly half a hundred years old. Seeing that Yuqing was lately appreciated by the emperor, he hurriedly got up and bowed, "The emperor praised you absurdly."

The queen has been looking at Shang Yu's frame, seeing that his eyes are full of interest, although he is uncomfortable in his heart, the smile on his face does not diminish.

But Concubine Yu didn't have her good temper. She played with the golden hollow armor on her fingers, raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "I have seen Miss Yu's name in the draft list before, I didn't expect her to be so beautiful, so beautiful." When a wonderful person enters the palace, even looking at her is a treat for the eyes."

When Yu Ziye heard that Yu Qingwan had participated in the draft, his smile disappeared immediately.

He turned to look at Su Zhen, there was no surprise on her face.

"A-Ning, did you already know?"

Su Zhen didn't respond to him, she was just thinking that Yu Qing had just arrived in the capital late, but rushed to Shouning Palace before the palace banquet, could it be that she was really doing her filial piety to accompany Princess Jingyao?Or do you want to use Princess Jingyao to curry favor with the Queen Mother?

"My daughter, thank you for your praise."

Regarding Concubine Yu Gui's mention of the list, Yu Qingwan did not answer.It has long been heard that Yu Guifei is domineering and domineering, she has not yet entered the palace, so there is no need to talk to her for a while, and it will cause trouble for nothing in the future.

Yu Qingwan sat down with Princess Jingyao, and never looked at Yu Ziye from the beginning to the end.

Yu Changqing's eyes wandered between the two of them. It was imperative for his younger sister to enter the palace this time. He had clearly written a letter to Hezhou to express his affection for the eldest son.But not only did he not receive a reply, but instead he learned that the roster of beautiful girls had arrived at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and even reported to the emperor.

Xiao Chuhong didn't know anything about the harem, but as far as he knew, Du Yushi had already taken the side of King Qin.Su Zhen and Yu Ziye are incompatible with King Qin, and Tai Tuo and Marquis of Lin'an are even less willing to intervene in factional disputes.Trying to match up the eldest son and the daughter-in-law of Du Yushi's mansion is to mess up the mandarin ducks, but according to his investigation, Yu Ziye must not stop there.

Sure enough, Yu Ziye couldn't hold back anymore, stood up and bowed, and shouted in the direction of Shang Yu's frame, "Uncle Emperor, Ziye has something to ask for!"

"Oh? Talk about it."

Shang Jinyan hurriedly said, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Yan'er, when did you go to Zhen'er's side? It's cool at night, drink less wine. Don't be foolish and greedy for a while, or you will have a headache tomorrow. "

Wine is strong and timid, he did drink two glasses, but he was not drunk yet.But what his mother meant was to remind him not to lose his sense of control, otherwise Yu Qingwan's life would be difficult to save.

Su Zhen kicked Yu Ziye under the low desk. After he hesitated, he couldn't help but want to ask the emperor to marry him again. Su Zhen got up from the futon and spoke first.

"Your Majesty, Zi Ye has always wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he will be crowned in a year, so I would like to ask the Emperor to allow him to join the army."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shang Jinyan and Su Zhen repeatedly interrupted Yu Ziye, and it was obvious that what he was asking for was definitely not what Su Zhen said.

Yu Ziye looked at Su Zhen, saw her shaking her head indiscriminately, and finally realized that he was impulsive this time.
