The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 306

five days later

The Queen Mother Zhang Luo's celebration banquet officially kicked off. There were three days before and after. There were singing and dancing, opera, court musicians, dragon and lion dances and juggling.

The first two days were fine, Ye Anyao seemed to be a lot happier, and gradually forgot about the nightmare, sometimes Ye Anran came to the palace to accompany her, and her mood improved a lot.

Especially when I saw the operas in Yangzhou, I seemed to forget all my troubles...

Today is the last day. Among the courtiers, more than a dozen loyal ministers and their family members attended the ceremony one after another, and even a lot of members of the royal family attended the ceremony. The imperial concubine Wang Guifei, who has always liked to be ascetic, did not dare to save Ye Anyao's face, and obediently attended the celebration feast.

The Queen Mother also seemed to be in a good mood, picked up the jug and stood up and said, "Today we celebrate Ye Zhaoyi and the Ai family's grandson. When the emperor's son is full moon, we will celebrate. Come, Ai's family toast everyone."

"I don't dare, thank you Queen Mother." Seeing the Queen Mother take the initiative to toast, the ministers were even more frightened.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen Bilan whispered to Xiaoman for a while, and Xiaoman stepped back quietly.

After a while, a young courtier suddenly got up and said, "Queen Mother, I have something important to report."

"Oh? Say." The Queen Mother saw that the minister came in a bad manner, and her face was a little gloomy. After all, this was a celebration banquet, not a place for discussion.

When Ye Anran saw this minister, he seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw it, maybe it had changed too much, or it had been too long.

"The matter reported by the minister is serious, so please let the queen mother listen to the minister's narration." The minister said word by word.

The queen mother looked at the emperor and nodded: "Yes."

"This minister wants to reveal a secret today, a big secret about the heirs of the royal family." The minister said mysteriously.

Everyone was in an uproar...

Ye Anyao subconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, feeling a bad premonition in her heart...

Then I saw the minister pointing sideways at Ye Anyao and suddenly said: "Ye Zhaoyi's child...is not the emperor's."

"presumptuous."

"Bold."

"You are talking nonsense."

Three excited voices questioned at the same time, the first one was from the queen mother, the second was from the emperor, and the third was from Ye Anyao.

At this time, Ye Anran got up excitedly and said: "You are so bloody, dog officer, do you want to frame my sister?"

For such an occasion, everyone has not reacted yet, but Ye Anran has already understood what is going on. Ever since her sister became pregnant, she has always been in fear like her sister. After all, none of the emperor's children were born safely, so Ye Anran An Ran was always worried that her sister would be framed, and today she finally caught one.

"Anran, don't get excited, sit down first." Xi Gongjue pulled Ye Anran's hand.

It was only then that Ye Anran realized that she was a little too aggressive. After all, there were the queen mother and the emperor present, so it was not her turn to be excited, but maybe she was too protective of her sister just now, so she subconsciously defended her.

At this time, the queen mother yelled angrily: "Come here, drag this dog official out to Ai's family, and beat him to death with a stick."

Indeed, on such an occasion, a minister of no status babbled nonsense, saying that Empress Zhaoyi's child was not the emperor's. This is not courting death, what is this?
But the minister immediately knelt down and said: "Queen Dowager, what I said is true, please ask the Queen Mother to find out everything. The child of Empress Zhaoyi is really not the emperor's. It was when she went back to Yangzhou to visit her relatives. The children of Fanghezhou, the magistrate of Yangzhou's love Lang, please also ask the queen mother and the emperor to learn from it, and don't be blinded by Ye Zhaoyi."

"What did you say? Fanghe State?" Ye Anyao wasn't calm this time. She was fine with framing her, but she even involved a scholar. She was really mad at her. Ye Anyao immediately stood up and pointed at the minister. Cursed: "Officer dog, look at Ben Gong and tell Ben Gong, why do you frame Ben Gong and Fang Hezhou? The two of us have no grievances or enmities with you. Why did you do this?"

"You have to talk about evidence, you know?" The emperor said slowly with a sullen face.

"Your Majesty, Weichen's family is also from Yangzhou. Weichen and Fang Hezhou were good brothers, and they knew about their affairs before Empress Zhaoyi entered the palace. Everyone in Yangzhou knows about their affairs. I don't believe the emperor can do it." Go and investigate, and the last time Lady Zhaoyi went home to visit relatives and did something wrong with that side of Hezhou, this child is not royal orthodox at all, please ask the Queen Mother to see clearly." The minister seemed to be very emotional.

Ye Anran suddenly remembered who he was, and said coldly: "Is he Zhang Sheng?"

That's right, it's him. Fang Hezhou had a good relationship with him, and they met each other and traveled a few times. But later they went to Beijing to take the exam together. Because the emperor didn't want Fang Hezhou to go to high school, he sent someone to change the test papers. , let Zhang Sheng, who has always had no talent, get a big advantage. He turned out to be the number one scholar in high school, and then he was canonized as the servant of the household department. Although this official position is not valued very much, he is still an official who can go to court every day.

Ye Anran doesn't even remember his character anymore, if he hadn't made such a fuss today, Ye Anran might never remember who he is for the rest of his life.

"You know him?" Nishinomiya asked sideways.

"I know him, he is from his hometown in Yangzhou, he is indeed a friend of Fanghezhou." Ye Anran said with an embarrassed face.

"Then why did he frame your sister today?" Nishinomiya asked in confusion.

"I'm afraid he was being used by someone." Ye Anran said with a faint uneasiness in his heart.

"Used by someone?" Nishinomiya frowned, then raised his head to glance at Shen Bilan not far away, and found that she was smiling at him.

Nishinomiya clenched his fists angrily. I am afraid that no one else could do such a thing except her. It must be her who used some method to threaten the minister, so that today's drama came about.

"Hehe, you keep saying that I have an affair with other people, do you have evidence? These words are not easy to say, Zhang Sheng, are you tired of work?" Because of her innocence, Ye Anyao speaks with confidence.

"Weichen... Weichen has evidence." And Zhang Sheng's confidence seemed to be getting weaker and weaker, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Ah? You still have evidence?" Shen Bilan seemed to pretend to be ignorant and surprised.

"Back to the empress dowager and the emperor, I don't want to talk about it, but this matter is related to the face and future of the royal family, so I decided to speak out after weighing up and down, and the evidence is solid, I hope the queen mother and the emperor will give This is a chance for me to clarify the facts." Zhang Sheng knelt on the ground tremblingly, and he was already afraid.

"Okay, since you have evidence, then show it." The emperor naturally didn't believe it. Although he didn't like Ye Anyao, he still knew her very well. Even if she was stupid, she wouldn't do this. If you don't consider others, you have to consider her younger sister. The crime of deceiving the emperor will punish the nine clans, and Ye Anyao is not such an ambitious woman, she will not do anything just to give birth to a prince.

It's just that the current situation forced the minister to say so frankly, if he was killed without giving him this chance, it would be a shame for people.

"Yes, bring witnesses out." Zhang Sheng seemed to have been prepared, and he got up and turned around to order.

At this time, a woman not far away came over gracefully, and bowed gracefully: "My wife Fang Li pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, to the Emperor, and to the Emperor's Empress."

"Fang Li, is that you?" Seeing this woman, Ye Anyao was a little dumbfounded. She... isn't she Fang Hezhou's wife?Why is she here?

"Ye Zhaoyi, do you recognize this girl?" The queen mother was a little displeased.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine recognizes him. He is...he is the wife of our Yangzhou magistrate. The concubine met her last time when I went back to visit relatives in the hometown." Ye Anyao answered truthfully.

Ye Anran who was sitting down was also taken aback: "Why is she here?"

Nishi Gongjue was really surprised, because he knew Shen Bilan's temper so well, she must be very careful about what she wanted to do.

So Nishinomiya looked at Shen Bilan frequently, signaling her to go out and have something to say, but damn it, Shen Bilan pretended to turn a blind eye.

This made Xi Gongjue very anxious, he told her more than once not to touch Ye Anyao, but she still didn't listen, and she did it anyway.

"Fang Li, what do you have to prove?" the emperor asked slowly.

"If you go back to the emperor, the minister's wife must tell the truth." Fang Li said calmly with her head lowered.

"What truth?" the emperor asked.

"Ye Zhaoyi's child...is indeed my husband's." Fang Lishi said unhurriedly.

"Nonsense, you are bloody, Fang Lishi, you are also a person with a child, and you are also the mother of the child, how can you frame me like this?" Ye Anyao seemed very emotional, pointing at Fang Lishi and yelling.

"How do you know?" the Queen Mother asked with a cold face.

"Going back to the Empress Dowager, the court lady was in the mansion that day. Later, Ye Zhaoyi came to visit and sent a lot of things to our mansion. After that... the husband, for some reason, sent the court lady away to go shopping. The two of them Get along alone, and when the minister's wife comes back, Ye Zhaoyi has already left, but the servants in the mansion know that the two of them have done something wrong." Fang Li identified black and white.

Ye Anyao was so wronged that she almost cried: "Fang Lishi, do you have a conscience? You and I know what happened that day. I don't know why you did this, but do you know? If you do that, you'll kill him too."

"Ms. Zhaoyi, have you finally admitted your relationship with Fang Hezhou?" Zhang Sheng grasped the clue and said.

"Shut up, don't distort the facts there. I, Ye Anyao, and Fang Hezhou used to be in love, but the man and woman were unmarried, and there was nothing between us. After entering the palace, it was even more impossible for us to be together. It's not as dirty as you said." Ye Anyao explained excitedly.

"What's the relationship between Fang Hezhou and you?" The queen mother suddenly asked.

"He... used to be my fiancé before entering the palace." Ye Anyao thought for a while and said truthfully.

"Then did you really go to his house last time when you visited relatives?" The Queen Mother asked sharply again.

"Yes, I have been there, but that's because...?" Before Ye Anyao finished speaking, the queen mother became angry: "Who allowed you to go? Ye Anyao, can you be a little more polite and shameless, you are already a concubine? How can you do such a vile thing?"

From the Empress Dowager's point of view, it was unforgivable for Ye Anyao to go back to Yangzhou and meet Fang Hezhou no matter what she did or did not do.

"Queen, don't calm down, I trust Yao'er." The emperor said calmly.

Immediately, everyone was shocked again... It is really rare for the emperor to calmly say that he believes in Ye Anyao under such circumstances.

Ye Anran was also a little touched... the emperor... so he can be so good?
