Fengming Tianxia's Concubine Empress

Chapter 76 Compromise as much as possible
Seeing that she didn't respond, Yan Cui thought she didn't hear, so she couldn't help walking to the window, reached out to close the window, then walked to the screen, picked up a coat from above, and put it on Shangguan Wanchun's shoulders.

Shangguan Wanchun felt the warmth from her shoulders and slowly opened her eyes.At this moment, her eyes are clear, and she no longer has the gentleness of the past. She should have been like this a long time ago, but she was greedy for her mother's embrace and elder brother's care, so she has always followed the original Shangguan Wanchun as much as possible. To live with her temperament, she tried her best to be tolerant, to compromise as much as possible, to avoid showing her sharpness as much as possible, and to search for evidence secretly as much as possible, but what she got in return was conspiracy and injury again and again, even killing Mother's life!She had to suspect that the person who poisoned him was probably someone who knew the inside story, and he was in the palace.

Yan Cui looked at the indifference in her eyes, and couldn't help being stunned. She remembered the look in her eyes, which made her feel as if she was in an extremely cold place, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, it was bone-chillingly cold!She remembered that on the day when her young lady came back from Luoya, when she returned to Chunyaju, she saw such icy eyes, and just a moment before, she saw such eyes again, and she always It felt weird, but she couldn't tell why.

Shangguan Wanchun looked at Yan Cui's dazed expression, and without explaining much, she tightened the coat on her body, walked towards the table and said lightly, "Thank you."

"Little Miss, you, are you okay?" Yan Cui stammered.

"It's okay, what's the matter?" Shangguan Wanchun sat down, turned her head, and said with a light smile, and the coldness in her eyes was no longer there.Perhaps, in Yancui, she shouldn't show her cold side in front of her family, Shangguan Wanchun said in her heart.

Phew, it turned out that I was wrong, Yan Cui breathed a sigh of relief, walked over quickly, and said with a smirk: "It's fine, it's fine, miss, are you hungry, I'll go prepare breakfast?"

Shangguan Wanchun smiled lightly and nodded, "Okay, then I will trouble Yan Cui."

"Miss, from what you said, this is what a servant should do, but, miss, you say so, so that the servant feels that you are far away from the servant." Yan Cui lowered her head as she spoke, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances Seems like.

Seeing her pitiful look, Shangguan Wanchun couldn't help laughing, got up, touched the top of Yan Cui's head, and said: "Yan Cui, when did you become so sentimental, this is not like you, Well, don't think too much, let's cook, listen, my stomach is growling with hunger."

Yan Cui raised her head in astonishment, and seeing the smile in Shangguan Wanchun's eyes, she couldn't help but grinned, and said, "Yes, I'm going right now, servant girl." Saying that, Yan Cui ran out.

Looking at the back of Yan Cui leaving, the smile in Shangguan Wanchun's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by indifference.Yan Cui, you are still young, you still don't understand many things, but I hope you can always be so simple.Shangguan Wanchun said in her heart.

Miss, this servant knows that you are sad, but this servant is clumsy and doesn’t know what to say to comfort you. Although you smiled at this servant just now, this servant saw it, saw the sadness deep in your eyes, and this servant also felt sad. I'm so sad, this servant would rather you cry than see you smile with restraint.Ma'am, ma'am, you have a spirit in heaven, you must bless the young lady, although the servant does not understand many things, but the servant's intuition tells the servant that there is a big conspiracy in the palace, the servant begs the lady to bless the young lady to be safe!
Yan Cui knelt in front of a big tree, folded her hands, closed her eyes, and prayed devoutly in her heart.

After the emperor Yu Ming ordered the morning court, he did not go back to the bedroom, but walked casually and slowly in the palace, but came to the Chonghua Palace by a strange coincidence.

The Chonghua Palace was deserted and it was snowing heavily again, so there was no one in the yard, so no one would report.He walked slowly, but saw a girl who looked like a maid kneeling in front of the tree in front of the backyard door, her mouth opened and closed, as if she was talking about something.How similar is this scene!It's just that today, after finishing speaking, the servant girl of Chonghua Palace reverently kowtowed to the sky a few times, such actions made Yu Mingqi feel less wary.He thought of that woman as warm as water again, her every frown and smile were deeply engraved in his mind, even though the warmth and smile were not for him!

After Yan Cui finished speaking, she stood up, and when she turned around to go to the kitchen to cook, she saw the emperor standing behind her, and she couldn't help being startled. After she realized it, she hurriedly knelt down and saluted to say hello: "Your Majesty pays my respects to you, Your Majesty! !"

"What's your name?" Yu Mingqi asked lightly.

"Go back to the emperor, servant girl Yan Cui." Yan Cui said tremblingly.

"Yeah." He nodded. If he remembered correctly, this maid named Yan Cui was Princess Chaohua's personal maid, and he continued to ask, "What were you talking about here just now?"

"Back to the emperor, my servant saw that Miss was sad, but I didn't know how to comfort Miss, so I had to beg God to bless Miss." Yan Cui said truthfully.

"Well, get up." Yu Mingqi said lightly. He believed her not because she came from the prime minister's residence, nor because she was Shangguan Wanchun's personal maid and would not harm her, but because of her face. Sincerely, he believes what she just said.

"Has Ya'er got up?" Emperor Yu Mingqi asked again.

Ya'er?who is it?Yan Cui thought for a while, and then remembered that the Ya'er the emperor spoke of was her daughter, Shangguan Wanchun, and Yu Haoya was another name given by the emperor after she was named a princess, but they were more taboo to speak out the name of the princess, so She can't remember for a while.

I saw Yan Cui hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor, the princess just got up, the servant girl will go and tell the princess."

"No need, I'll just go over there, go get busy first, I still have something to say to Princess Chaohua." Yu Mingqi waved his hand and said to Yan Cui.

"Yes." Yan Cui replied respectfully. She didn't walk slowly towards the kitchen until she saw Yu Mingqi and Manager Li behind him turning into the corridor, but her forehead and back were frightened. There was a cold sweat.This was the first time she faced the emperor alone, so how could she not be nervous.

Yu Mingqi came to the door, hesitated again and again, and still knocked on the door.

Shangguan Wanchun thought it was Yan Cui who came back, so she smiled wryly, thinking when did this girl become so polite?
"Come in." Shangguan Wanchun said lightly.

But when he saw that it was not Yan Cui, but the emperor Yu Mingqi who came in, Shangguan Wanchun got up after a moment of stunned, and said respectfully, "Zhaohua greets the emperor."

"Excuse me, sit down." Emperor Yu Mingqi said, but she could hear a little excitement from his tone.

"Thank you, Father."

Shangguan Wanchun then shouted outside the door: "Yan Cui, serve tea!"

"You don't need to call her, I'll let her go to work, you sit down first, I have something to tell you." Yu Mingqi then gave Manager Li a wink, looked at him coldly and said: "Manager Li , you wait outside the door, without my permission, no one is allowed to come closer, otherwise, kill!"

"Yes, the slave leads the order." Saying that, Manager Li turned and walked out, closing the door.Director Li naturally knows the inside story, which is related to the royal family's secrets and must not be known to outsiders.

Shangguan Wanchun was very puzzled, she saw the killing intent in the emperor's eyes just now, but she didn't understand what kind of things would be told to her, and it seemed that it was still confidential.

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of any other things. Everyone knew about the marriage for a long time. Could it be related to the mother?She was taken aback by the sudden thought that popped into her mind.

"Ya'er?" Seeing her standing there in a daze, Emperor Yu Mingqi couldn't help calling her.

"Yes, father." Shangguan Wanchun said and walked to the chair and sat down.

Yan Cui was so nervous that she didn't know how she got to the kitchen. She didn't know where she was until she saw the board and the kitchen knife.

My God, think of me as a little maid, not only seeing the emperor, but also talking to the emperor, this is something that I dare not even think about, Yan Cui exclaimed in her heart.

"Go ahead, I still have something to say to the princess." Yan Cui remembered what Yu Mingqi said just now.

Does the emperor mean that I should not bother them?Yan Cui tilted her head and said to herself.

That seems to be the meaning, Yan Cui replied to herself.

That lady shouldn't blame me for not going back for so long, right?Yan Cui asked again.

It shouldn't be, the lady wouldn't be so narrow-minded.Yan Cui answered herself again.

Yan Cui thought her head was a little big, she shook her head vigorously, and then, as if she had made some big decision, she said: "Don't worry, just take it as that, then I'll make some more complicated things. The breakfast bar, just enough to delay some time, and since the young lady came to this palace, it has been several days, and she hasn't eaten well. Every time, she only eats a little to be full. If not, then I’ll make some mung bean cakes that Miss loves most, plus white fungus and lotus seed porridge.”

Just do what you say, as long as she thinks of making delicious food for Shangguan Wanchun, the episode that happened just now will be forgotten by her.

Prime Minister's House.

Ever since Tang Lanhui left, there was no smile on Shangguanhe's face.And a few days ago, after he came back from the palace, the expression on his face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

Because the emperor issued a decree to let Shangguan Wanchun enter the palace, so he entered the palace to go to the emperor to withdraw his order, but what the emperor said sent him into hell again. He once again remembered what happened in the prime minister's mansion 16 years ago .

He remembered that when there was a flood in Qingyuan Town, as an imperial envoy, he went to the disaster-stricken area to rescue the disaster, but unfortunately, Tang Lanhui fell seriously ill, and the doctors in the city were helpless. Then he passed the news to the emperor Yu Mingqi in the palace, because he knew that he also loved her deeply and would never leave her alone.This is indeed the case. The moment Yu Mingqi received the news, he ordered the best imperial physician in the palace to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to treat Tang Lanhui's illness, and because he himself was worried, he also quietly followed in wearing ordinary clothes Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since no one in the mansion other than the housekeeper and Tang Lanhui knew that Yu Mingqi was the current emperor, and he deliberately let those who knew him conceal his identity, no one knew that the emperor left the palace in disguise.

He still remembered that after he got rid of the flood and returned to the mansion, the fourth concubine once came to him secretly and told him that his wife Tang Lanhui had done something sorry for him during the time he was away from the mansion. At first he didn't believe it, but when he When the fourth aunt described what happened at that time vividly, he actually believed the fourth aunt's words.

The fourth aunt said: On the last day when Tang Lanhui recovered from her injury, when she went to visit Tang Lanhui, she happened to see that strange man coming out of Tang Lanhui's room in disheveled clothes. A look of joy.She said she was puzzled that the man didn't look like he had stolen anything.
