Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 288
Fuxi moved quickly.

After a while, Hong Zheng came out from the hall.

"The servant has seen Concubine Zhao, and the emperor ordered the servant to invite the empress to enter."

Fang Yun nodded, supported Qing Rong's hand, and entered the room calmly.

When she came in, she saw Wan Lingyi wearing an ice-blue silver-patterned tunic dress, standing beside the desk, studying ink.

"Here, take a seat." After writing, Pei Yao raised his eyes and gently pointed to the chair next to him, "I still have two envelopes to approve, please wait a moment."

"The concubine pays her respects to Concubine Zhao." Wan Lingyi saluted politely.

Fang Yun waved his hand and smiled, "Excuse me, it's no wonder that the emperor is slower to approve the papers today. It turns out that there is a beautiful woman by his side, and the red sleeves add fragrance, so the emperor is reluctant to finish the approval soon."

Such a joke made Pei Yao's lips twitch.

"It's true that you are teasing me. It's just that I took the time to meet with Si Tiantai's people in the next morning, so I was delayed for half an hour."

After speaking, he said to Wan Lingyi, "There is no need to study ink."

When these words came out, Wan Lingyi's hand paused slightly before she put down the ink stick and said yes.

But she didn't seem to want to leave, she just stood beside Pei Yao quietly, and put on her bracelet slowly.

The last two books were for An An, and they didn't have much content, so they were approved very quickly. Pei Yao finished it after a quick glance.

After ordering someone to remove the memorial, he got up and walked over from behind the desk, and sat down next to Fang Yun.

At this time, Wan Lingyi was still standing, looking a little embarrassed.

Pei Yao was about to tell her to go back, but she didn't expect her to speak first.

"The emperor's dim sum here is really delicious, especially the emerald gold thread, which is full of color, fragrance, and concubine Zhao, you really have to taste it."

Wan Lingyi stepped forward, brought a plate of snacks from the small table next to him to the small coffee table between Pei Yao and Fang Yun, and smiled again.

"The imperial chef in Jingqian Palace is more skilled than the dining room in our harem. I heard that the emperor has a chef from Suzhou here. The squirrel mandarin fish and eel paste are excellent, but I don't know my concubine. Can I enjoy the blessing of Concubine Zhao today and have a good time?"

When he said this, he blocked what Pei Yao had said before.

This morning Wan Lingyi was called to serve the pen and ink because her elder brother Hu Daixu had been promoted to the third rank as the Commander of the Jingdu Guards, and concurrently served as the Commander of the Central Army of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.

Hu Daixu is capable and talented, it's quite true that Pei Yao wants to reuse his thoughts.

At the moment, Fang Yun, who was sitting next to him, also had some fun in his heart.

Unexpectedly, after entering the palace, Wan Lingyi also changed her temperament. When she was in the East Palace, she was not arguing or grabbing, but the one time she spoke badly made her angry and restrained herself.

how today
Fang Yun glanced at Pei Yao, and probably guessed in his heart that he asked Wan Lingyi to come to serve the pen and ink today. It must be because of the previous dynasty, and it was regarded as a bit of face and favor.

After all, Pei Yao hardly ever recruits female relatives to do this kind of thing.

In another situation, Fang Yun might give way, but today's matter was decided yesterday, she will come here now, Wan Lingyi is not stupid, how could she not know that she came here by order.

But Wan Lingyi refused to leave, and even said that she wanted to stay and have dinner together.

This is not only an invitation to pet, but also a provocation to Fang Yun.

Fang Yun could probably guess Wan Lingyi's intention, but he just wanted to see how Pei Yao would choose between the two of them today.

After all, Hu Daixu is now useful in the court, which is also Wan Lingyi's confidence.

"Did your majesty hear that?" Fang Jun said with a smile, "Wan Lingyi has already ordered two dishes. It can be seen that she has been serving pen and ink all morning, and she is hungry. The emperor can pass the meal quickly."

Pei Yao didn't want to leave Wan Lingyi behind, but he was thinking about what to say in consideration of the previous affairs, but Fang Yun answered first.

Listen, do you mean to accept Wan Lingyi to stay and have lunch together?
Glancing at her, seeing that she didn't seem to be annoyed, she nodded, "Hong Zheng, get the dining room ready."

"Yes."

Hong Zheng cupped his hands and was about to back out when Fang Yun stopped him again.

"Squirrel mandarin fish is fine, don't cook that squishy squid." After speaking, Fang Yun turned his head and glanced at Pei Yao, "I don't like squid, why not eat cherry meat instead?" ?”

Ever since she became pregnant, her body has always been weak. This is not to brag. The food in the small kitchen of Yuzhang Palace is first-class and exquisite. This was specially ordered by Pei Yao because he was afraid that Fang Yun's body would not be able to support him. good.

Right now, it's just a dish, so naturally he nodded in response.

Seeing this, Hong Zheng went to do it immediately.

Turning his head, Fang Yun pointed to the embroidered stool next to him with a smile and said, "Sit down, Wan Lingyi. Standing like this makes my heart ache. I'm afraid I've been standing all morning while serving the pen and ink."

"Thank you, Concubine Zhao." Wan Lingyi narrowed her eyes to thank her, pinched the handkerchief, pursed her lips and sat down.

Although she was obedient on the surface, she was extremely aggrieved in her heart at the moment.

Originally, she said that she would enjoy the honor of Concubine Zhao and taste the dishes of Jinggan Palace, which was just a polite word, and she wanted to use this to gag Fang Yun's mouth by the way.

Thinking about it, considering the good reputation of being virtuous and gentle, Fang Yun had to keep her for lunch, but he didn't expect Fang Yun to do this to her.

Originally, he only ordered two dishes, so Fang Yun changed his way of waving his hands. It was still Pei Yao who nodded, and finally arranged for her to sit down.

what is this?
Earn a stomach aggrieved!

It was as if she was here to take advantage of her, and she listened to Fang Yun's arrangements in everything.

In this way, it is better not to have lunch, not to mention whether it is earned or not, in the future, people in Jingqian Palace will probably want to know that Concubine Zhao is favored far more than her.

This is not the most important thing, the important thing is
Wan Lingyi raised her eyes and glanced at Pei Yao, who was talking to Fang Yun, and felt sour and uncomfortable in her heart.

The most important thing is that she likes the emperor, and now it is true that it is even more difficult for the emperor to be intimate with other women.

But she didn't expect that the troubles of this lunch were not over yet.

Pei Yao and Fang Yun had meals, both of them were of higher status than her, so according to the rules, she had to wait on them.

After a lunch, the cloth and vegetables are added to the soup, making the master not like the master, and the maid not like a maid.

Of course, it wasn't that Fang Yun was making things difficult for her, but that she insisted on sticking to those rules, which made her tired.

It was because Fang Yun started having a baby last year that he gradually became informal when dining with Pei Yao, and it is still the same now, both of them are used to it.

So Wan Lingyi was busy back and forth, which made Pei Yao feel uncomfortable.

As soon as lunch was over, one person said that he would accompany Fang Yun to the imperial garden for a walk, while the other person asked Wan Lingyi to go back.

Although she was reluctant to leave in her heart, Zi Wanlingyi felt aggrieved and unhappy at this moment, she finally held back her face and went back obediently.

Once back to Yichun Palace, he sat on a chair and rubbed his temples angrily, restless.

But at this time, Xie Meiren, who lived with her in Yichun Palace, came over.

After entering the room, he hurriedly asked, "Sister Wan is back, and my sister went to serve the pen and ink in front of the imperial court. Did the emperor say anything about the affairs in Zhongcui Palace? Concubine Yang has moved to Ci'an Palace, I am worried tight"

"presumptuous!"

Wan Lingyi just had nowhere to vent her anger. After hearing Beauty Xie's words, she immediately slapped the table in anger.

"On weekdays, I think about sisterhood, so I don't want to be harsh on you. It's better for you to put your nose on your face and say hello, but you actually guess the holy will, have you learned the palace rules in your dog's stomach?!"
