She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Things in the palace are always changing. For example, Concubine Lin, who was still favored yesterday, was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor today, and she does not know when she will be released from house arrest.

Everyone in Concubine Lin's palace was in chaos, and some even wanted to sneak out for fear that they would be implicated by their master.

But after all, they thought this matter was too simple.

The slaves in Concubine Lin's palace, except for those who have always been friends with Concubine Lin, are basically assigned to the laundry room, and they do the dirtiest and most tiring work.

The palace that used to be illuminated is now in a state of decline, but the East Palace has been very lively these two days.

Ye Xu Wanguang entertained all the officials who came to visit. They were so exhausted that they wanted to cut themselves into eight halves.

Xiao Xizi and Hua Ying were also busy with their feet on the floor. Mo Yunzheng was sitting in the study, looking at Ye Xuwan who was busy in front of him, frowning slightly, and doubts flashed in his dark pupils.

"Is it really that busy?"

Mo Yunzheng asked in a low voice: "You are so busy that you don't even want to listen to Gu's words?"

After saying that, Mo Yunzheng rested his elbows on the table, held his face with both hands, and looked at Ye Xuwan lazily.

Ye Xuwan felt resentful in her heart, you couldn't tell whether she was busy or not!
Who is a good person who squeezes his employees like this! Not even overtime pay!
Speechless!

"This servant is guilty. Did His Highness say anything just now?"

After saying that, Ye Xuwan put down the things in her hands and approached Mo Yunzheng. Mo Yunzheng lowered his dark eyes slightly, looking at Ye Xuwan who was leaning close to him, with unclear meaning.

He is so thin that his cervical vertebrae can be clearly seen on the back of his neck. Does Dong Gong really eat so poorly on weekdays?
Thinking about it, Mo Yunzheng raised his hand and gently brushed the back of Ye Xuwan's neck with his fingertips.

Ye Xuwan felt the hairs all over her body stand on end. She took two steps back in panic, covering the back of her neck and looking at him in surprise.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Help! Mom, this man molested me!
"Ok?"

Mo Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at the hand that he had just touched Ye Xuwan.

"Guyi accidentally slipped his hand."

Okay, I really admire you as a man.

Ye Xuwan laughed dryly, her face darkened.

"Slave, I know the crime."

What kind of world is this? You have to apologize to others when you are molested.

A smile appeared on Mo Yunzheng's lips: "I just said that seeing that you have been fulfilling your duties in recent days, I have decided to give you a monthly salary increase."

"what?"

Ye Xuwan's eyes, which had been lifeless just now, suddenly brightened up, like a puppy seeing a bone.

She stepped forward hastily, her eyes shining as if she was afraid that he would regret it.

"Your Highness, are you serious about this?"

Mo Yunzheng wanted to laugh at Ye Xuwan's reaction, and nodded.

"When did Gu lie to you?"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Ye Xuwan felt like she was dreaming, what? This "tyrant" who has been deducting her monthly salary actually wants to give her a salary increase?
Heaven and earth conscience.

"Do you have any records of the ministers who have come to the East Palace in recent days, Little Ye Zi?"

Mo Yunzheng lazily leaned back in his chair and looked at her with squinted eyes.

Ye Xuwan nodded and took a booklet from the table behind her.

"Yes, these are all written down by the slaves, as well as the jewelry they brought along the way."

"You accepted it?"

"Of course not."

Ye Xuwan answered truthfully.

She is indeed greedy for money, but she doesn't accept any money. If she doesn't pay attention to anything, it will be the crime of beheading.

Mo Yunzheng seemed to be very satisfied with Ye Xuwan's performance. He couldn't hold back the raised corners of his mouth. He raised his hand and flipped through the pages of the booklet, his dark eyes filled with coldness. "Little Ye Zi, do you know whose ministers are here these days?"

Ye Xuwan shook her head.

"These are all loyal ministers under Brother Huang."

When Mo Yunzheng said this, his tone was full of ridicule, and he held the paper in his long and slender hands, as if he was holding the lives of these ministers.

"With Concubine Lin's downfall, the emperor's strength must have been reduced by half. At this time, they are close to me in order to surrender."

"Sure enough, you are a wallflower, falling on both sides. You say you are loyal in front of you, but you don't know what's going on behind the scenes."

Mo Yunzheng's tone was very cold, but full of intimidation.

Ye Xuwan felt inexplicably that this man seemed to be cueing her, and for a moment she did not dare to look directly into Mo Yunzheng's eyes.

There seems to be hooks in his eyes, and he will fall if he is not careful.

"Your Majesty, this is the new tea that I brought from my hometown. Please try it."

Concubine De said and handed over the purple clay pot in her hand. The emperor looked soft and took a sip of the tea in the cup, his eyes scanning Concubine De's bulging belly.

Think about it, Concubine De is already eight months pregnant and will give birth soon.

"Concubine De is interested." The emperor said, gently placing his hand on Concubine De's belly.

"Has my prince ever made trouble with you?"

Concubine De shook her head, her smile full of maternal love.

"No, the child in my concubine's belly is very honest. He will definitely be obedient and willing to serve the emperor in the future."

With that said, Princess Xinyang ran over from the yard with a paper kite. Seeing the emperor here, she called "Father" and hid behind Concubine De.

Since the last time Xinyang fell into the water and said goodbye, the emperor and Xinyang have not seen each other for a while.

The so-called eighteenth transformation of a woman, even though I haven't seen her for a few months, I just feel that Xinyang has grown into an adult.

"How old is Xinyang this year?" The emperor lowered his eyes lightly, looking at Xinyang with unclear meaning.

Xinyang shuddered and raised his eyes to look at Concubine De, who also looked solemn.

"Xinyang is fifteen this year."

Concubine De said softly: "Despite this, Xinyang is no different from a child on weekdays. A few days ago, he told me that he wanted to stick to me for the rest of his life."

Having said that, Concubine De held Xinyang with trembling hands, and she had an ominous premonition.

As it turns out, her hunch was right.

"No matter how much you cling to your mother, you are still a big kid. Xinyang, have you ever had someone you like?"

Xinyang was a little confused when the emperor asked him this way.

"Xinyang has never thought of such a thing."

"Your Majesty. Xinyang is still young."

Concubine De said hurriedly: "This matter is not urgent yet."

"how."

The emperor's gentle face just now became stern: "Concubine De, Xinyang, as the princess of our country, naturally has responsibilities."

"The border security has been tight recently, and we must not destroy the nearly century-old peace between our two countries just because of one incident."

These words are so clear, it would be too fake if Concubine De doesn't know what's going on.

"I plan to send Xinyang to get married."

Although, Concubine De's heart skipped a beat when she heard such a decision.

The emperor would not come to her palace on weekdays if he had nothing to do. He thought it was because Concubine Lin was under house arrest that the emperor would walk around the palace, but he did not expect that it was because of this in the end.

Concubine De's face turned pale and her tone was trembling.

"Your Majesty, does it have to be Xinyang?" (End of Chapter)
