The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 397 Dragon Boat Feast
"Uh, don't worry about this, it depends on fate and God's will." The emperor smiled gently and took it lightly.

Ye Anran also smiled in agreement: "That's right, I have the same idea as the emperor, children depend on their fate with their parents."

"Miss Zhaoyi is such a good person, she must be able to have her own little prince. Xuan'er is here to offer a cup to Mistress Zhaoyi." Shu Bixuan is a delicate woman, and she is also smart. She will marry Xigong for a while. Yes, although Xi Gongmo didn't say anything, she could still see her husband's ambition, so she tried to win over this Empress Zhaoyi who was in the powerful harem.

"Okay, thank you Princess Huai for your kind words." Ye Anran raised his glass and chuckled.

After the farewell party in the Shu Mansion, it came to the Dragon Boat Festival in a flash. The Dragon Boat Festival is a big day in Tianmu, and there are many folk customs and traditions.

The emperor and the queen mother have been in a cold war for a long time, and the emperor also wants to take the opportunity to reconcile with the queen mother. After all, blood is thicker than water, so he doesn't want to make too much trouble because of Ye Anran's matter.

Dragon Boat Festival
The emperor invited all civil and military officials, Xigongjin, Liu Qingqing, Xigongmo, Shu Bixuan, Xigongjin, Xiaorong, Xigongyue, empress, concubine Chen, Xue Jieyu, and the noble person behind the empress. Luer was late.

"Mother, come and sit here." The emperor politely got up and invited.

The Empress Dowager didn't say a word, but walked over slowly with the support of Madam Su and sat down beside the Emperor, Su Luer naturally followed.

On the other side of the emperor is Ye Anran, followed by the empress. Obviously, the empress's status in the harem is getting lower and lower. Seeing that Shen Bilan can't win back the emperor's heart, the empress dowager also seems to have lost confidence in her and gave up supporting her. She would rather Support newcomers.

Perhaps she could see the empress dowager's indifference to her, so the empress smiled meaningfully: "Mother, ouch, who is this girl next to you, she is so beautiful."

"Ah, she is Su Lu'er, the niece of the prime minister's wife. Ai's family is very old, and no one visits Ai's family. It is inevitable that Ai's family will be lonely, so I ask the prime minister and his wife to help Ai's family choose a clever and sensible girl to join her." palace."

It is impossible for the queen mother to directly say that she is the newly selected show girl for the emperor. After all, there are too many people here, so it is hard to say too much.

"Oh, that's it. The queen mother is really lucky. This younger sister looks really good. If you have time, come and sit with me." The queen said to Su Luer with a smile.

"Thank you, Empress Empress, for your kindness." Su Luer saw that the woman who was talking to her was wearing a golden crown of nine phoenixes, she knew without thinking that this was the empress, so she bowed her head and thanked her.

Seeing Su Luer, Ye Anran just smiled meaningfully, then turned her head away, completely ignoring her, as if she didn't pay attention to this woman at all.

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Our monarchs and ministers will not return here without getting drunk. Come and have a drink." The emperor raised his glass first, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Afterwards, civil and military officials also echoed, Ye Anran whispered in the emperor's ear: "Your Majesty, drink better, pay attention to the body of the dragon."

"Well, I'm fine, Anran can rest assured." The emperor smiled heartily, in his opinion, Ye Anran cared about him more and more, of course he was happy.

"However, Zhaoyi, the emperor's banquet for the ministers belongs to the government. You, a woman, had better not interrupt, and you have to know your identity." Seeing Ye Anran's sweetness with the emperor, the queen mother couldn't help but pour a pot of it. cold water.

Fortunately, Ye Anran was used to it, she just lowered her head, and said slightly: "Yes, what the Empress Dowager taught me is that I will keep it in mind."

"Well, for such a big event, you'd better remember it firmly for Aijia, otherwise... Aijia will never treat you leniently just because you are the emperor's new favorite. Same crime, let alone you are just a little Zhaoyi?"

The Queen Mother seized the opportunity and naturally wanted to humiliate Ye Anran...

Seeing this, the emperor immediately put his arms around Ye Anran's shoulder and comforted him: "The words of the queen mother are hard to hear, don't worry too much."

"En." Ye Anran nodded obediently.

Afterwards, the emperor raised his head and smiled at the queen mother, "Queen mother, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, everyone is very happy, so don't pay too much attention to the details, okay?"

"Since the emperor has already said so, what else can the Ai family say?" The queen mother said with a sullen face.

Afterwards, the emperor gave an order to sing and dance, and dozens of dancers in the palace danced to the soft and cheerful tune, and the important ministers watched it with gusto.

Suddenly, Su Luer murmured a few words in the Queen Mother's ear, and the Queen Mother nodded, as if acquiescing to something.

Afterwards, she walked slowly to the stand in the center of the crowd, bowed softly to the emperor, and said, "Your majesty, the little girl is grateful to the empress dowager and the emperor for having the opportunity to participate in this lively Dragon Boat banquet. In order to express the daughter's gratitude to the emperor , Minnv will definitely make a painting for the emperor, and hope that the emperor will stay young forever, with blessings and prosperity."

After hearing this, the emperor didn't open his mouth, but just looked at Su Luer with a blank expression. He has never liked this woman, especially after Ye Anran misunderstood their relationship, he avoided her even more .

At this time, the queen mother said: "Lu'er, since you have such a talent, you should show it to everyone."

Then Prime Minister Guo Yucheng also echoed: "Yes, Luer, thanks to the empress dowager and the emperor for taking such good care of you, you can make a painting and give it to the emperor to show your heart. They say that Hangzhou is a talented woman, and let us all see it today." Get acquainted."

Seeing that the queen mother and the prime minister seemed to be rushing the ducks to the shelves, even if the emperor said no, it was too late, so he simply nodded: "Alright, then you can perform."

Seeing that the emperor agreed, Su Luer immediately beamed with joy, and then bowed profusely: "Your Majesty, daughter... I have another unfeeling request. I wonder if the Emperor can agree to it?"

"Let me listen to you." The emperor still couldn't arouse the slightest interest.

"Minnv wants...to invite Mistress Zhaoyi to come down and paint with Minnv. I heard that Mistress Zhaoyi is a well-known talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and she once painted a picture of a beautiful woman, which is famous all over the world. Today, Minnv is not talented, so I want to take this opportunity Let's compare with Lady Zhaoyi, and see if their Yangzhou girls are more talented, or our Hangzhou girls are more delicate?" Su Luer's words undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere tonight to a climax.

Everyone was in an uproar...

Maybe they didn't expect that a fledgling girl like Su Luer would dare to provoke a concubine like Ye Anran, and they were immediately interested.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's complexion changed slightly, it seemed that in the original plan, Su Luer did not make such an arrangement, or even if there was, she did not tell her, which not only displeased the Empress Dowager.

The prime minister and his wife were also a little worried, and wanted to persuade them, but felt that the timing was wrong...

"Oh? Do you want to challenge my beloved concubine?" The emperor seemed very interested in this.

"Going back to the emperor, I can't call it a challenge. After all, Mistress Zhaoyi is a famous talented woman. I can only talk about her talents. I don't know if Mistress Zhaoyi is willing to appreciate the face of a common girl. Of course... If Mistress Zhaoyi is unwell, You can reject the girl." Su Luer's words undoubtedly blocked Ye Anran's retreat.

She was afraid that Ye Anran would say that she was unwell, so Su Luer told her in advance, so that Ye Anran could only bite the bullet and fight.

A year ago, not long after she entered the palace, Ye Anran was still an ignorant little girl at that time, because her sister was not favored, so she was anxious, so she boldly made a picture of a beauty at a grand event, and it was The beauty picture using her sister's appearance as a template immediately shocked everyone and became famous all over the world. Since then, there have been rumors in the sky that Ye Anran's painter is amazingly talented.

Now that things have passed for so long, everyone has forgotten that this empress who turned upside down in the harem was once a peerless talented woman. After Su Luer made such a fuss, everyone immediately became interested.

"Anran, what do you think?" Of course the emperor can't refuse or agree for Ye Anran, it mainly depends on her own will.

Ye Anran was very calm, her eyes seemed to be able to see through the autumn water, she smiled faintly at the emperor: "Since Miss Su has this intention, why not play with her?"

Judging from what others said, it is obvious that Ye Anran doesn't take this Su Luer seriously at all...

Su Luer's eyes suddenly flashed a look of annoyance...

"However, sister, then we are all up to you. You must not lose. If you lose to Miss Su, it will not only embarrass our royal family, but also embarrass you Yangzhou." It was the queen who spoke, and she seemed to want to watch the excitement the most.

Xi Gongjue, who was sitting down, didn't speak, but looked at Ye Anran with worried eyes. Maybe he knew that Anran would win, but his heart was still hanging on her.

"This one will definitely lose." Liu Qingqing whispered next to Xi Gongjue.

"My lord, do you think Empress Zhaoyi can win?" Shu Bixuan asked Xi Gongmo with a smile on his face.

"There is no suspense, Anran will definitely win." Perhaps because he was too focused on watching, Xi Gongmo's address was a little ambiguous, and he even called Ye Anran Anran with his own princess, which made Shu Bixuan have a trace of doubt on his face.

Nishinomiya Jin shouted childishly: "Sister-in-law, come on, you will win."

Xiao Rong beside her said confidently: "When it comes to playing the piano and painting, I can assure you that there is no woman in the world who can win our second lady. It is not good for this Su Luer to challenge us by name. Second Miss, hehe, you are really humiliating yourself."

"Xiao Rong, well said, this king thinks so too." Nishinomiya Nishiki subconsciously said with his arms around Xiao Rong's shoulders.

Xiao Rong blushed suddenly... Maybe she was not used to her status as a side concubine, and being so intimate with Nishinomiya Jin.

Ye Anran and Su Luer both stood in the center of the crowd, attracting countless gazes...

"Miss Su, since you proposed the painting competition first, then please come up with a question. No matter what the question is, I will accompany you to play until the end." Unlike the humble Ye Anran back then, now she has more Be confident.

Jue Nishinomiya looked at Ye Anran obsessively, and seemed to think that she was the most attractive woman in the world.

"Brother Jue, have you seen enough? After a while, you can't pull it out." Liu Qingqing said angrily.

Nishi Gongjue came back to his senses, glared at Liu Qingqing and said nothing.

Ye Anran, who was dressed in purple tulle, stood beside Su Luer, who was dressed in yellow. Ye Anran's eye-catching brilliance made Su Luer lose her brilliance. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that standing with Ye Anran is the one that Su Luer least likes. Wise choice.
