The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 379
"What happened just now?" The emperor looked at the noble man kneeling at his feet and asked suspiciously.

Seeing that the emperor asked about this matter, Yugui immediately rushed to say: "Your Majesty, please enlighten me. The concubine was slapped by Lady Zhaoyi for no reason, and now her cheeks are swollen. Please ask the emperor to make decisions for the concubine."

"Oh? Really? Then why did An Ran slap you?" The emperor looked down at Yugui seriously and said.

"It's... because... because the concubine and concubine Ning Niang are getting close, she is jealous." Yu Guiren couldn't explain why, so Wu distorted the facts and framed Ye Anran.

The emperor raised his head to look at An Ran, and smiled gently: "An Ran, is that so?"

"Back to the emperor, yes, the concubine slapped her, but it was just to teach her how to be rude. The concubine and the concubine Chen were reminiscing about the past and chatting happily, but this jade nobleman rushed forward, so the concubine couldn't help but teach her a lesson. If there is anything wrong with her, I ask the emperor to punish her." Ye Anran bowed.

"Oh, so that's the case, Xi'er, is this noble man someone you know well?" The emperor looked at Chen Xi thoughtfully and asked.

"No, no, Your Majesty, this concubine is not familiar with her, and she was chatting happily with sister Ran, I don't know how she got here." Chen Xi is so smart, so naturally she tried her best to put aside her relationship with Yugui.

After hearing this, the nobleman was stunned: "Chen Concubine, what did you... say?"

"Mr. Yugui, right? I wasn't very familiar with you at first. When did you come here to make a fuss? However, my sister slapped you and it was already very kind to you. I didn't expect you to repay your grievances with kindness. What should I say to you?" How are you?" Chen Xi pretended to be benevolent and said.

"Your Majesty, it's obviously not like this, it's you...?" Before Yugui finished speaking, the emperor was already a little impatient.

"Come on, drag this noble man down twenty boards, offending Zhaoyi will be more serious, and even slaps will be light." The emperor said word by word.

"Your Majesty, I don't want it. I don't dare to do it anymore. I beg you." Hearing that the Emperor wanted to punish her, Yugui immediately knelt down in fright. It's no wonder that she didn't seem to understand the situation clearly. In the current harem, besides Ye Anran, where else has the status of other people?
It's because she can't tell the difference between the enemy and me, and she can't choose a master well, so it's up to others...

Two guards came over, dragged Mr. Yugui and pulled her away. Mr. Xuegui couldn't bear it, and knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, please forgive Sister Yu once, she... didn't mean it."

"Who are you?" The emperor frowned and asked.

"Concubine...Tang Chunxue, currently living in Zhongcui Palace." Being asked by the emperor, he naturally had to declare his family name.

The emperor's memory is not bad, but he has no impression of some irrelevant people. Seeing that the emperor still didn't remember, Ye Anran said: "Your majesty, this sister Xue is a concubine who once lived together in Furong Palace. Xuegui."

"Oh, it turned out to be you, why did you plead for that woman?" The emperor looked at Xuegui with some surprise.

Only Xuegui said slowly: "Your Majesty, younger sister Yu was originally with the concubine, and now she lives together in Zhongcui Palace, but she is straightforward, so she often offends some people, and today she even insulted Zhaoyi Empress, but please the emperor to give her a chance because she is still young and doesn't know the rules, sister Yu is weak, if she goes down to her twenties, she will probably die, please have mercy on her."

After finishing speaking, nobleman Xue kowtowed heavily, the emperor remained silent, just looked at nobleman Xue silently.

Seeing this, Ye Anran stretched out her hand to hold the emperor's arm affectionately and said with a smile: "Your majesty, forget it, she didn't do it on purpose, it seems that she has only been in the palace for a short time, and she doesn't know the rules, so it's her first offense. Please forgive her." .”

"You are too kind." The emperor reprimanded.

Seeing that Ye Anran pleaded for mercy, Chen Xi was too embarrassed not to open her mouth, so she also put on airs and said: "Your Majesty, just give Yugui a chance, and my concubine thinks she will not dare next time, so let's take it as a lesson this time." , not to mention that my younger sister has already slapped her, and the lesson is over."

"The emperor spares my life, and my concubine will never dare again." Yugui was already frightened out of his wits.

After a long while, the emperor said slowly: "Okay, since you committed the first crime, and two other ladies and your good sisters pleaded for you, I will bypass you this time, but if there is a next time, I will definitely not." Forgive you, understand?"

"My concubine, thank the emperor for his kindness, thank you for his kindness." Hearing that the emperor withdrew his order, Yugui finally felt relieved.

The emperor turned sideways and took Ye Anran's hand and said: "Anran, the spring is beautiful today, how about we go to the gazebo over there to play chess?"

"The concubine is willing to accompany you." Ye Anran smiled slightly.

Afterwards, Ye Anran left slowly with the emperor, and Xue Guiren also left behind Ye Anran.

Chen Xi froze in place, her face became a little bit embarrassed, the emperor held Ye Anran's hand and left in a grandiose way.

He didn't even look at her more, but it's no wonder, who told her that her chess skills were not superb enough to make the emperor lose interest?

Ye Anran's chess skills are superb, and he can make the emperor laugh, this is his skill...

It is said that women should be proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, poetry, and Fu, but facing a dragon among men like the emperor, you must not only be proficient, but also be the best and the most outstanding, otherwise, you will lose your own bright spots, and sooner or later you will lose your strength. Falling out of favor is just like the current concubine Chen. In fact, she is good in everything, but she lacks some personality, which makes the emperor not arouse much interest.

But Ye Anran is different, she can amaze everyone by composing poems, fascinate everyone by playing the piano, even amaze the emperor by playing chess, this is the secret of her enduring favor.

Ye Anran played chess with the emperor in the gazebo, and Lady Xue Gui acted as a court lady, frequently pouring tea for the two of them.

In the end, Ye Anran drew with the emperor, and the emperor seemed unsatisfied: "Oh, it's terrible, I've been thinking about this new layout all night, but it's a pity that I still can't win against you. It's really too difficult to win against you."

"The emperor's award, the concubine is just a coincidence, good luck." Ye Anran smiled.

"Let's go, I'm hungry, let's have lunch together." The emperor suggested.

At this time, Xuegui said tactfully: "Your Majesty, Madam Zhaoyi, the concubine will leave first, so I won't disturb the Emperor and Madam's meal."

The emperor just wanted to answer, but was preempted by Ye Anran, her words were a bit unexpected: "Sister Xue, don't go, I just played chess with the emperor, you were busy pouring tea for us, now it's time for dinner Time, how can you leave? I, Ye Anran, am not such a heartless person, let's go together, Your Majesty, you don't mind?"

Then Ye Anran gave the emperor a playful smile, and the emperor immediately lost the ability to resist.

"Of course, I won't mind, let's go." The emperor smiled, but there seemed to be something else hidden in the smile. This kind of emotion was hard to see through, and Ye Anran didn't pay attention.

There was a lunch banquet in Shengjun Pavilion, 66 dishes filled the table, and Xue Gui was a little dumbfounded.

She and Yugui are at the level of little nobles, so there are only nine dishes for each meal. Now when they go to Zhongcui Palace and those unselected show girls, it becomes six dishes. Although it is enough to eat, but in the palace That said, it's rather shabby.

Now looking at the 66 dishes in front of her, Xue Gui not only sighed in her heart, why all women want to win the emperor's heart, because the emperor can bring them so much, only they dare not think, there is nothing the emperor can't do .

"What are you still doing, eat?" Ye Anran smiled gently.

Xuegui suddenly discovered that after getting close to Ye Anran, she is actually a very innocent little girl who likes to laugh and make jokes.

It's far less terrifying than the rumors in the harem. What kind of demon concubine, disaster concubine, those are things that are not sidelined.

"Sister Xue, do you have some time in the palace?" During the dinner, Ye Anran chatted with Mrs. Xue about some family matters.

The emperor occasionally interjected a few words, but Xue Gui understood that Ye Anran would not do unnecessary things, she was creating opportunities for herself to get close to the emperor.

Let the emperor be impressed with himself so that he can remember himself. It seems that Ye Anran has not broken her promise, she is helping herself.

I really don't know what kind of anger Yugui will become when he finds out?

after lunch

Lady Xue accompanied Ye Anran back to Yanran Palace for an afternoon nap, while the emperor went to the imperial study to review the memorial.

"Sister Xue, how do you feel today?" Ye Anran looked at Tang Chunxue with a smile and asked.

"If you go back to your mother, it will drag your mother's blessing, and I will be grateful to have dinner with the emperor for the first time." Xue Gui's attitude is very humble, as if she is afraid of offending Ye Anran if she accidentally says the wrong thing.

"Well, I think, after this time, the emperor will remember you in the future, and it won't be such a tragedy that you can't even remember your name." Ye Anran laughed.

"It's all thanks to the empress, who created opportunities for the concubine." Xue Gui was very nervous, because she really didn't know how Ye Anran would move in the next move, and the future was still an unknown.

"Well, it's very good, and your performance is also good. Compared with that idiot Yugui, you are really a talent." Ye Anran praised with deep meaning.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your praise."

"Sister Xue, these few days, you should prepare. My palace may... arrange a bed for the New Year." Suddenly, Ye Anran said such an inspiring sentence.

"Huh?" Xue Gui was stunned at first.

"Why? Don't you want to?" Ye Anran raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled as if there was nothing.

"No, Chen Qie thinks, as long as the empress gives Chen Qie this opportunity, Chen Qie will definitely repay the empress one hundred thousand points in the future." Seizing the opportunity, Mrs. Xuegui once again expressed her loyalty.

Ye Anran nodded: "Well, very good, you go back first, I'm tired too."

"Thank you for your promotion, my concubine will resign." Lady Xue Gui cautiously exited Yanran Palace.

Suddenly, I was very happy. After waiting for so long, the opportunity finally came.

Back to Zhongcui Palace

Seeing that Yu Guiren was still applying the redness and swelling on his cheeks in front of the mirror, he was still cursing: "Damn Ye Anran, I am really mad at you. If I gain power in the future, you will look good on me."

"Sister Yu, what are you doing?" Xue Gui seemed to be in a good mood.

"Didn't you see? I was beaten like this by that bitch, so I need to apply medicine." Yugui said coldly.

"Keep your voice down, if you say this, if someone hears the secret report to Lady Zhaoyi, you will die." Xuegui kindly comforted you.

Yugui raised his eyelids, and said sarcastically, "I can't leave your mother Zhaoyi all day long, I think she is closer than your own mother now."

After hearing this, Xue Guiren's face changed drastically...
