The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 408
"Madam Su, please tell me." Ye Anran was extremely polite to Madam Su, not only because she admired her for avenging Concubine Luo, lurking beside the Queen Mother for many years, but also because she was impressed by her sincerity.

"Back to the empress, the empress dowager summoned the empress empress alone today, and the old slave overheard and learned a very astonishing thing."

"What's the matter?" Ye Anran's face changed, and she looked at Su Momo worriedly and asked.

"The empress dowager knew that she was going to die, so she left two last wishes. The first one is to ask the empress dowager to go to Xi Gongjue to continue to look for the whereabouts of the dragon pattern order. The second...?" Speaking of this, Madam Su He paused on purpose.

"Is there any unspeakable secret for Mammy?" Ye Anran asked with frowned eyebrows.

"No, it's just that the old slave said it, in case the empress would feel sad." Su Momo explained.

"Don't worry, tell me, my family is ruined now, there is nothing that can bring me down again." Ye Anran said with a bitter smile.

"The second empress dowager wants the empress to get rid of you, empress."

"Get rid of me? Why did the empress dowager do this? Does she really hate me so much?" Ye Anran was obviously very surprised. This old woman was about to die, and she was thinking of dragging herself to die with her before she died. She was so stubborn. It's really unimaginable.

"Actually, there is a reason why the Empress Dowager is so afraid of you, and this old slave only learned about it today."

"what reason?"

Seeing Ye Anran ask, Madam Su revealed all the fortune-telling. After Ye Anran heard it, she remained silent for a long time...

"Your Majesty, therefore, Lai Nu is here today to tell you to be careful of the queen. She is not a simple woman. She entered the palace when she was very young. She knows the methods of the harem well. She knows how to deal with the enemy. There are many, you must be careful." Su Momo advised again and again.

"Okay, Mother Su, don't worry, I must be extremely careful, and I will never fall down before Shen Bilan dies." From the day she learned the truth about her sister's death, Ye Anran made up her mind that Shen Bilan must be killed. Move down, this wish is extremely strong, no one can shake it.

"That's good. If it's all right, I'll leave first. I've been with you for a long time. I'm afraid of causing gossip." After saying that, Madam Su got up and wanted to leave.

"Mum, wait a minute."

"What else do you have to order, Niangniang?"

"This... you take it." Ye Anran took out a jade hairpin from the jewelry box and handed it to Madam Su.

"Your Majesty, you don't need such a precious thing to hide people's eyes and ears. Your Majesty should just take a silver hairpin." Madam Su knew that since Ye Anran promised to give her a small gift under the watchful eyes of everyone, she had to take some and leave. , otherwise it must be suspicious.

"No, take it. Among the slaves outside, there are queens. They have delicate thoughts. They just regarded you as a greedy person. If you don't take out a rare treasure, they won't believe it."

"Then... the old slave would rather be respectful than obedient." Regarding Ye Anran's reward, Madam Su was not very kind to ask for it. After all, she told Ye Anran to guard against the queen this time, not because she cared about her, but because she was lonely. Allies of His Highness.

Moreover, the treasure that Ye Anran rewarded was worth 5000 taels according to Wang Shao, and it could buy several ancestral houses and fields.

"Mommy, after you go out of the palace and sell this thing, you can enjoy your old age in peace. Your Highness Mo has already said that you should be well settled." Ye Anran smiled slightly.

"Okay, thank you Ma'am, good people are rewarded with good things, I hope that the revenge will be avenged as soon as possible." After saying that, Madam Su turned and walked out.

After walking out, he put the jade hairpin on his head in a showy manner...

When Ye Anran came out, Xiao Guang was very upset: "Mother, why did you give the emerald and white jade hairpin that the emperor rewarded you to that old witch?"

"Hehe, I just took out the jewelry box and asked her to choose by herself. Who knew that she had such a good eye, but she just fell in love with that one." Ye Anran smiled nonchalantly.

"This old hag is really greedy, she's such a villain, she just picked up my mother's prayer beads, and she asked for such a big gift in return, it's really shameless." Xiaoguang said indignantly.

"How about... I will reward you with one too?" Ye Anran said half-jokingly.

"No, what about the servant? The servant does not serve the master for money. The servant has no relatives at home. It is useless to ask for these things. It is just to fight the injustice for the master." Xiaoguang said truthfully.

"Xiaoguang, don't worry, if you stay by Bengong's side, you won't be treated badly. Have you seen Xiaorong now? She is already a side concubine, and in the future... Bengong will find a good family for you, so you don't have to worry. "Ye Anran said slowly.

Xiao Guang blushed immediately: "Master, what are you talking about, slaves don't want to marry."

Talking and laughing, playing and making noise, after the queen mother fell ill, Ye Anran's life became much easier, playing the piano every day, doing paintings, and occasionally playing chess.

It's a pleasant day...

June 21
On this day, Ye Anran was practicing calligraphy in Yanran Palace as usual, when suddenly, a message came from outside: "My lord, Your Highness King Huai is asking to see you."

"King Huai, what is he doing here?" Ye Anran was displeased, thinking that she had warned Xi Gongmo not to meet easily?Why is he still so confused.

"Let him in." Ye Anran was afraid that Xi Gongmo would find him something urgent, so he still summoned her.

"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress." Xi Gongmo saluted respectfully.

"Prince Huai, you're welcome. I'm looking for something in this palace today." Ye Anran knew that his palace had many eyes and ears, so naturally he couldn't get too close.

"If you want to return to your mother, this king was entrusted by an old friend of your mother to bring some gifts to your mother, please accept it." Said Xi Gongmo asked someone to bring in a big box and put it on the ground.

"Old friend? Who?" For a while, Ye Anran didn't remember who still remembered to give him a gift.

"Maybe you will know after opening it yourself." Xi Gongmo smiled gently.

Ye Anran walked over suspiciously, gently lifted the box, and was dumbfounded, the inside was full of gifts, including tea, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and big birthday peaches.

Immediately, Ye Anran understood who it was, turned around and asked in surprise: "Meng Zhaoyang asked you to send it?"

"Your Majesty is wise, Brother Meng came to visit my house yesterday and dragged me to bring these gifts to Madam. Only then did I know that today is Madam's birthday, haha, so I discussed with Xuan'er and gave Madam a copy of our gift. birthday gift." After finishing speaking, Xi Gongmo took out an exquisite brocade box from her bosom, slowly opened it, and inside was a pair of orange-yellow jade biscuits, which were very beautiful.

"Hetian jade? Beauty, thank you, the prince and the princess are interested." Ye Anran seemed to be in a good mood after receiving the gift.

Meng Zhaoyang sent birthday peaches today, and Ye Anran remembered that today is her birthday.

Ever since she married in Bianjing, she really hasn't celebrated her own birthday once. If Meng Zhaoyang didn't remind her this time, she would have forgotten it again.

"His Royal Highness Huai Wang, I don't know if Brother Meng is still in the capital. There will be a day after parting. I would like to meet him." Ye Anran looked at the gift, and suddenly his heart rippled.

Gusu Meng's family treated her well, she really tried to make up for it...

"It's still there. Why don't I go out and invite Mr. Meng for you, how about it?" Seeing that Ye Anran wanted to see Meng Zhaoyang, Xi Gongmo proposed.

"Alright, call him." Ye Anran nodded.

in the afternoon
Ye Anran met Meng Zhaoyang who hadn't seen him for a long time in Yanran Palace. He still hadn't changed at all, his appearance was dignified, and he was dressed in a light green brocade robe, which further brought out his noble air as a handsome young man.

Many court ladies could not help but blush when they saw him...

"Meng Zhaoyang, a grassroots man, pays his respects to the imperial concubine, and the empress is a thousand years old." Outside the palace, he saw the good news of Ye Anran's promotion and was happy for her.

"Brother Meng, please get up quickly." Ye Anran got up and stepped forward to help.

"Thank you madam."

"Brother Meng, it's been a while, how are you doing?" Now that Ye Anran has no relatives, seeing Meng Zhaoyang is like seeing her own relatives, and she feels very kind in her heart.

"Blessings to the imperial concubine, the grass people are all well." Meng Zhaoyang's answer was very official, very polite, and seemed a little distant.

"Then... are Auntie and Uncle okay?" Ye Anran asked again.

"If you go back to the imperial concubine, my mother and father are also very good, thank you for your concern."

"Brother Meng, I don't have any relatives now. Seeing you, I'm really kind and touched. It's rare that you still remember my birthday. I just drank the tea you sent, and... the canna still tastes so good Nong, our Ye family tea house is already a mess, how did you get the canna?" When Ye Anran and Meng Zhaoyang were talking, they talked about me one by one, and didn't mention Bengong at all, obviously, she really didn't see anything.

"If you want to go back to your mother, Cao Min personally went to the hometown of Jiangnan canna to buy it from the tea farmers. As long as your mother likes it." Meng Zhaoyang is still very polite, and his words are very cautious.

"Brother Meng, can you not be so alienated from me, it makes me really sad, even you have to be alienated." Ye Anran asked tearfully.

"My lady... An Ran, I didn't mean that, it's just that you are different today, and I can't talk to you like before. After all, you are a noble concubine." Meng Zhaoyang was also very helpless, sighing frequently.

"Brother Meng, do you know? When I took the first sip of this canna, I cried, because I thought of my father, my mother, and my sister. This is the taste I am most familiar with, but now the tea leaves are still so delicious. Now, they are all far away from me, I already feel that I am abandoned by them, if even you despise me like this, then I really don't know what to do?" Ye Anran said emotionally, and burst into tears.

Seeing Ye Anran crying, Meng Zhaoyang became anxious: "Anran, don't cry, it's my fault, I shouldn't do this, I still talk to you like the same, okay, don't be sad."

Seeing Ye Anran crying, Meng Zhaoyang felt distressed for no reason...

"Okay, I won't cry, then... let's drink tea." Ye Anran smiled through tears.

Afterwards, Ye Anran chatted with Meng Zhaoyang about family matters, and the chat was very speculative...

Who would have thought that at this time, there would be a sudden shout from outside: "The emperor is here."

Ye Anran was startled, then got up and was about to go out to meet him, when the emperor had already walked in.

"My concubine pays respects to the emperor." Ye Anran bowed to salute.

"Crassman Meng Zhaoyang pays respects to the emperor." Meng Zhaoyang knelt down and said softly.

"Who are you, why are you here?" Seeing a strange man in Yanran Palace, the emperor was a little angry for no reason.
