The slave family is not a disaster

Chapter 66
"My lord, what do you mean... these cakes were sent by Mr. Meng from Gusu?" Xiao Rong's first reaction was also Meng Zhaoyang, because apart from the Meng family in Gusu, Ye Anran didn't know anyone named Meng.

"Well, it should be Meng Zhaoyang." Ye Anran held the brocade box with an indescribable feeling in her heart. Because of her relationship with Jia Luo, she turned her back on the marriage between the Ye family and the Meng family and insisted on annulling the engagement. Later, she figured it out. When she married, she received the emperor's imperial decree to marry her, so it was really unfair to the Meng family. Although Ye Anran vaguely remembered that she only met Meng Zhaoyang once when she was very young, she still treated the Meng family and Meng Zhaoyang felt guilty. After all, it was because of the Ye family that the divorce was caused.

But now I didn't expect that the members of Meng's family didn't care about that matter, and even brought over cakes. Ye Anran was a little touched, she reached out and picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, put it in her mouth, and a sweet smell immediately spread on the tip of her tongue Well, she has never tasted such a taste since she came to the palace and came to Bianjing.

Although my father also brought gifts, most of them were tea leaves, and what my sister sent were all things from the palace, most of them were ornaments and silks and satins bestowed by the emperor.

Now that she has tasted the taste of this hometown, Ye Anran is really indescribably happy. She calmed down and said to Xiao Rong with a smile: "Come on, Xiao Rong, you can try it too. The osmanthus cake in August Zhai is really delicious. It's the best."

"Slaves don't dare." Since Xiaorong came to the palace, it is obvious that she has become somewhat estranged, not because she has a bad relationship with her master, but because the palace has many rules and the prince is tyrannical, so she doesn't dare to eat anything casually. what.

"Xiao Rong, what's the matter with you? There are no outsiders here, come, let's eat together." Without waiting for Xiao Rong to speak, Ye Anran pulled Xiao Rong to sit down and picked up a piece and stuffed it into Xiao Rong's mouth.

Now she ate whatever she didn't want, and Xiaorong praised while eating: "My lord, the Meng family is really good. Even if we divorced, we would still walk around with our Ye family. Before, the master was worried that the Meng family would break up with the Ye family." Cut off contact."

"No, Mrs. Meng is from my mother's hometown, and she was a child. It is impossible for such a deep relationship to stop at all because of the divorce. Meng Zhaoyang is really a good person, but I don't have the blessing to be his wife." Said At this point, Ye Anran smiled wryly.

Xiao Rong knew the pain in his master's heart, so he comforted him: "My lord, don't think about it too much, you will surely be blessed if you grow up so beautiful."

"Xiao Rong, you don't understand. Sometimes it is because of this face that I will not be happy." Ye Anran understood that the reason why the fate of himself and his sister changed suddenly was because the emperor surprised her under the blue bridge. glance.

If it wasn't for that, she and her elder sister might have lived a normal life, perhaps her elder sister had married Fang Xiucai's lover long ago, and she might have married into the Meng family in Gusu.

As for Jia Luo, Ye Anran seemed to feel that it was really just a dream, the man just disappeared out of thin air, if it wasn't for the purple jade still around her neck, she would feel that these were all fantasies of her own, maybe at all There is no such person as Jialuo.

Yiren Court

Butler Xu came over and knelt gently: "Master, are you looking for a servant?"

Xi Gongjue lazily hugged Xiangyi, didn't even bother to raise his eyes, and asked: "I heard that you gave Chunxiao Pavilion a brocade box this morning? What is it? Who gave it?"

"It was sent by a man. He said that it was his master's intention to give it to the concubine. The servant thought it might be from the concubine's hometown, or from the concubine's family in Yangzhou. You know, The slaves never dare to ask more about the master's things." Although Steward Xu said so on the surface, but the prince was not in the palace at all in the morning, how could he know about it?The only explanation is that Miss Xiangyi's maid saw this and told the prince, he knew that the relationship between the prince and the concubine was tense recently, so he naturally paid attention to every move of Chunxiao Pavilion.

"Her family sent almost all the things to the Ye family's tea house in Bianjing, and then the girl Xiaorong would pick them up. They wouldn't send them here directly. You should go down first. This king will find out about this matter. By the way, call Xiu Lei." Since Nie Tian helped Ye An before, Xi Gongjue subconsciously handed over matters related to Ye Anran to Xiu Lei to investigate, maybe he no longer believes in Nie Tian's loyalty. , at least regarding the matter of Ye Anran, he still has lingering fears.

"Yes, that servant will leave." Before leaving, Housekeeper Xu glanced at Miss Xiangyi, and found that there was a look of satisfaction in Xiangyi's eyes.

"Xiangyi, what do you think about this matter?" Nishinomiya seldom asks what Xiangyi means, because in his eyes, Xiangyi is at most a bed warmer, but asking such a question today really makes Xiangyi feel uncomfortable. flattered.

"The servant is just a servant, and dare not intervene in the affairs of the master." Xiangyi still avoided it cautiously.

"It's okay, I don't blame you, you can just express your own point of view." Said Nishi Gongjue calmly, seemingly without any anger.

"Then since it's what I mean, the servant will say it. If what I say is not what I think, please don't blame the servant." Xiangyi is a delicate person, and she protects herself before speaking. .

Seeing Jue Nishinomiya nodded, Xiang Yi reassuredly speculated: "Yi Numai means that the person who gave the concubine this time must not be her family, as I said just now, her family and Ye Zhaoyi have nothing to do with each other." I will send it directly. After all, the person this time is someone who has special meaning to the concubine. The servant actually wants to say, Lord, you should investigate whether the concubine had any confidants before she married. In this way, there is... number."

Xiangyi's meaning is very simple, this time the gift should be a man, and a man who has inextricable ties with Ye Anran, so I want Jue Nishinomiya to investigate.

After hearing this, Xi Gongjue was not angry or smiled, but just nodded, and then Xiu Lei walked in: "My subordinates, please greet me."

"Xiu Lei, go and find out who the person who came to deliver the brocade box to the princess this morning is, you must find out for me, and... check who the princess had close contacts with before she married me. "Nishimiyajue explained without any omission.

Xiu Lei nodded and left in a flash. In the evening, he was still in the Yiren Garden. Xiu Lei came back and replied: "My lord, my subordinates have found out that the person who gave the gift to the concubine was Meng Zhaoyang, the young master of the Meng family in Gusu, and he... ...?"

Seeing that Xiu Lei hesitated to speak, Xi Gongjue said coldly: "Speak."

"He had a marriage contract with the concubine before. This is something that the whole Yangzhou knows. If the emperor didn't grant the marriage at that time, I heard that the concubine will marry to Gusu in a few days." The effect of Xiu Lei's work Sure enough, it wasn't Gaide, and everything was found out in such a short few hours.

However, Xi Gongjue smiled: "Oh, it turned out to be an old lover. I have heard about her previous marriage contract. The Meng family in Gusu is also a big family, and it is human nature to marry the Ye family. Peeing refers to the belly as a marriage, and this king has become a villain who steals people's love, doesn't he?"

"My father's words are different. Being able to marry someone like my master is a blessing from the princess's previous life." Although Xiu Lei is not good at flattery, he is still very careful when speaking to Jue Xigong.

"That's right, it is her destiny to marry this king, and she will obey if she refuses." After finishing speaking, Jue Xigong got up and left.

"Master, aren't you staying here overnight?" Xiang Yi asked with some reluctance.

"You guys also go with me, this time I'm going to ask the teacher to punish me." After saying this, Xi Gongjue pushed open the door and disappeared into the night, followed by Xiang Yi and Xiu Lei.

The Chunxiao Pavilion in the evening is unusually quiet

Because Ye Anran usually sleeps late, at this time she is almost always drawing or reading, and today she happens to be mending some worn out clothes.

In fact, she is not a very frugal person, but she just likes to innovate. Every time there is a damaged part of the clothes, she will embroider some patterns ingeniously to cover the holes. This is not only beautiful, but also can be used as a patch, which is very practical. .

Xiao Rong was fanning her at the side, because the weather would be a little dull in the evening, so the two of master and servant were free enough, but they didn't expect bad luck to come soon.

Ye Anran, who was embroidering, suddenly lost his mind, and the embroidery needle pricked the index finger of his left hand, and suddenly felt a sharp pain...

"Princess and master, it's alright, servant girl is going to get the medicine right now?" Xiao Rong was about to turn around to get the medicine to bandage up the master, but saw a group of people walking in.

After seeing the person clearly, Xiao Rong panicked, and immediately knelt down to pay his respects: "My lord is auspicious."

Just now when his hand was pricked, Ye Anran had an ominous premonition. Sure enough, Jue Nishinomiya came and brought many people with him. It seemed that something was going to happen again.

"My concubine greets the lord." Although Ye Anran didn't welcome Jue Xigong very much, she still stood up and bowed in a polite manner.
