From now on, the Son of Heaven does not come early

Chapter 485 Something beyond your own power

After Ye Xiaoxiao returned to Jiaofang Hall, Lin Lanzhi and Wang Ying brought a few Xiuyis to visit, Meng Jiaoen still followed behind Wang Ying and Zhu Yunbi, Ye Xiaoxiao only took a look, but Did not say anything.

Wang Ying glanced at Lin Lanzhi, and Concubine Lan nodded, looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Empress, I heard that the ministers are going to celebrate your birthday. This year, the emperor is not here, so we sisters made up our own minds and wanted to join you. The Bureau also celebrates the Empress’s birthday.”

Ye Xiaoxiao was taken aback for a moment, looked at the women in front of her, and smiled faintly: "Birthdates and such are not necessary at all. I am not a child, and the emperor's expedition to the Kingdom of Shu will cost too much military expenditure. I really shouldn't be here." It's time to celebrate your birthday."

"What did the empress say? The harem has not been lively for a few days. Why don't you take this opportunity to make the sisters lively." Wang Ying smiled slightly and offered pertinent suggestions. Seeing something strange, Zhu Yunbi glanced at Wang Ying, then looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, snorted coldly, rolled her eyelids and looked elsewhere.

"Yes, Empress Empress, let's celebrate!" Lin Lanzhi blinked at her, Ye Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly, and then nodded: "Okay, but it's a waste to be alone, why not be together, you all Sit next to Bengong, let the officials sit below."

Lin Lanzhi hurriedly nodded happily, Wang Ying smiled even more sincerely, Zhu Yunbi rolled her eyes unremittingly, she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, and she didn't show any expression, only Meng Jiaoen was there.

Ye Xiaoxiao frowned and glanced at Wang Ying who was smiling sincerely. She didn't believe that this person would be so kind, but if she wanted to make up some kind of monster, she would never let it go. Unfortunately, I don't know who it is!

Just as he was thinking, Wei Youting came to report: "Madam, dinner is ready."

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, got up and walked outside.

Wang Ying followed up slowly from behind, leaning against Ye Xiaoxiao's back, and said with a low laugh: "Madam, Wu Wang Qiantui is really loyal, I heard that Qiantui has been guarding outside Weiyang Palace for several days, Just now when I came in, I saw King Wu Qiansui standing outside the palace, it's freezing cold, Madam, don't freeze such a loyal minister and righteous man."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked back coldly, and glanced at Wang Ying. She smiled innocently when she saw people, as if what she said just now was really meaningless, but it was just a thoughtful word that was mentioned casually.

"Concubine De, take care of what you should take care of, and what you don't, just keep your mouth shut!"

Wang Ying smiled, there was no strangeness in her expression, she just nodded loyally, bowed to Ye Xiaoxiao to salute, and obediently said: "What the empress said is true, Concubine De wrote it down."

This move shocked Zhu Yunbi who was behind the two of them. She couldn't help staring at Wang Ying's every move from afar. It stands to reason that with Sister Ying'er's temperament, she shouldn't be able to pretend to be like this, but This person just apologized and saluted in front of him, smiling cleverly, there was no trace of disdain between his brows, but respect from the bottom of his heart, this is absolutely the attitude of an ordinary family, where aunts obey the mistress of the house Well!
If she hadn't known in her heart that it was absolutely impossible for Wang Ying to submit to Ye Xiaoxiao, she would almost have wondered if she was dreaming!

Rubbing her eyes in surprise, Zhu Yunbi looked around in a panic, only to find that the two people behind her were extremely calm, as if they hadn't noticed anything, and Meng Jiaoen followed behind her indifferently , Lin Lanzhi still had a faint smile on her face, and when she saw her looking over, she asked with a smile, "Zhu Xiuyi, what's wrong?"

What, what's wrong?Is it the only one who sees it? ?It can't really be an illusion, can it?

While rubbing her eyes, she raised her legs and entered the side hall. Several Xiuyis were already waiting here. Seeing the empress empress followed by the respectful concubine empress, everyone couldn't help being stunned. Sun Yizhen looked at Wei Qing curiously. He, Wei Qinghe only shook his head slightly, and Sun Yizhen frowned, wondering if the last time the empress slapped Concubine De really made her obedient.

After eating in silence, Wang Ying stood up with a smile and said: "On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, there will be a banquet in the Xuanzheng Hall, and all the officials will attend. I have already told you all. Pay attention to your clothes, your words and deeds, and don't lose your empress!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of low cheers from around, everyone was naturally very happy, otherwise, in such a winter day, with no flowers to enjoy and no entertainment, it would really suffocate people.

Wang Ying happily sat down, but when she turned around, she saw Ye Xiaozheng staring at her, her face suddenly showed a dark color of horror, she immediately knelt down at Ye Xiaoxiao's feet, and said in a mournful voice: "Empress, please don't be angry. , Chen Qie, Chen Qie was just happy, so, just said it out like this, Chen Qie didn't do it on purpose, please... please punish me!"

Ye Xiaoxiao still sat expressionlessly, the side hall became quiet for an instant, and the atmosphere instantly became a little depressed. Seeing this, Wang Ying begged for mercy, and even kowtowed, looking terrified, as if she would smile the next moment. Like it would kill her.

Sun Yizhen raised her eyebrows, secretly happy in her heart, it seems that the lesson of the empress last time has worked, look, the concubine De, who was once arrogant and domineering in the harem, is now kneeling before our queen like a slave Empress's feet?
snort!It's like what you deserve, you're taking the blame, you're overreaching, and you still want to compete with the empress for status?You are simply dreaming!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Wang Ying was still pleading, Ye Xiaoxiao suppressed the doubts and irritability in her heart, and waved her hands: "I didn't blame you, get up, I'm not such a fussy person."

Make yourself look narrow-minded, Wang Ying, are you sure you're not trying to smear her, Ye Xiaoxiao?

Sighing, she turned her head to look at Lin Lanzhi, and saw that the person was just lowering her head, playing with the spoon in the bowl, which made her a little more confused, as if something flashed away in her heart, she wanted to catch it. Hold it, but find that this feeling has disappeared without a trace, and I can't hold it anymore.

Why does she feel that these people are a bit weird today?
"Since Concubine De has said it, then you all go down and prepare to go!"

After receiving the order, Xiuyi cheered and all came to greet her, and then one by one walked out of Weiyang Palace, happily going back to prepare to go.

Ye Xiaoxiao was the last one to leave the side hall. When passing by the garden, she saw the vermilion-lacquered high gate of Weiyang Palace from a distance, a handsome figure was illuminated by the palace lantern, and the metal armor was covered with the color of the palace lantern, shining a little bit of light.

A gust of north wind blew past, rolled up the snow and raised a sheet of smoothie, Ye Xiaoxiao looked away, and said calmly: "Eunuch Wei, send him a big cloak."
