The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 55 Why are people from Yanhua Palace here?

Ye Wenyan's words made Xiao Shi stunned. During this moment of distraction, Ye Wenyan threw the bracelet to Zhuier and said loudly, "Take it and exchange it for silver to buy meat for the old lady."

When the onlookers heard this, they all praised Xiao for her great sense of justice and said that she was worthy of being the mistress of the tomb.

By the time Xiao came to her senses, the flattery from the people had made it so that she couldn't even open her mouth to ask for the bracelet, so she could only turn around and go back home in anger.

Ye Wenyan glanced towards where Shi Liyuan was, and saw that person smiling and nodding at her, then he turned into a red light and disappeared. She then took Mu's arm and followed him back to the mansion.

The entrance to the First-Rank General's Mansion finally became quiet. Those who should leave have left. The servants brought water to wash the ground that was soiled by cutting meat. At the same time, they were silently muttering in their hearts that the Fourth Young Lady was too powerful and the old lady couldn't control her at all. There was a risk of chaos in the mansion!

Once you enter the front yard, no matter whether the gate is closed or not, it's just family members talking.

The old lady had been waiting here, and when she saw everyone coming back, she was ready to have a good rant to regain some of the face she had lost today.

But before she could say anything, the second master Ye Jingsheng also came back.

The registration ceremony had ended long ago, and the ministers had finished their meetings. They were now adjourning to go home. Ye Jingsheng walked into the courtyard with a droopy face, like a donkey.

Xiao went forward and wanted to ask him why he looked so unhappy, but when she looked back, she saw that there was a group of palace servants coming back with Ye Jingsheng. However, these palace servants were dressed differently from ordinary palace servants. The palace servants in the Northern Qi Palace all wore gray robes, but the people who came this time were wearing purple robes.

If it weren't for the fact that this eunuch uniform was the same as ordinary eunuch uniform except for the color, Xiao wouldn't have been able to tell who these people were.

The old lady saw through something and said smartly, "It was the Tiansheng era in the past, but now the new emperor has ascended the throne and changed the era name to... yes, Tianwang. It is now the Tianwang era, so the clothes of the eunuchs and palace maids should also change."

Ye Jingsheng's expression became even uglier.

Xiao felt that what the old lady said was not the case. Sure enough, she heard a palace servant standing behind Ye Jingsheng say loudly, "The new emperor did not change the palace servants' attire after ascending the throne. We wear purple because we are not royal servants, but servants in Yanhua Palace. Wearing purple in Yanhua Palace has been a rule for hundreds of years. Has old lady Ye forgotten it?"

The old lady was startled at that moment. A palace maid from Yanhua Palace? Yes, the maids in Yanhua Palace wore purple. She had heard of it before, but had never seen it before, so she had forgotten it as soon as she heard it. Now that she suddenly remembered it, she broke out in a cold sweat.

What were the servants from Yanhua Palace doing in the General's Mansion? "But Lord Yunchen Yun asked you to come?" she asked tentatively in a trembling voice.

The man snorted coldly, "Lord Yun is in charge of the Imperial Observatory. If Lord Yun is to appoint someone, then he should appoint someone from the Imperial Observatory or someone from the palace. He will definitely not use someone from the Yanhua Palace."

"Then what are you..."

"Madam, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. We're here to deliver something to Fourth Miss Ye!" As he spoke, he raised his hands forward, and the Ye family members noticed that he was holding a box in his hands.

He no longer paid attention to the old lady, looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Ye Wenyan. His cold and tense expression finally relaxed, and he even walked towards Ye Wenyan with a smile on his face, bowed and said: "Your servant Lian Shi greets Miss Ye Si!"

Ye Wenyan smiled and replied, "Don't bother with Eunuch Lian."

Lian Shi handed the box in his hand forward, and his voice immediately became a little louder: "Yanhua Palace gave Fourth Miss Ye a piece of warm jade. Wearing it daily can warm your body. Please accept it, Fourth Miss Ye."

As soon as the three words "Yanhua Palace" came out, the old lady felt like the sky was falling. Xiao's calves were shaking, and she had to rely on Ye Jingsheng's support to stand normally. Even Ye Lianmian opened his mouth wide, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Yanhua Palace? Why is it Yanhua Palace, not the Imperial Observatory?

Ye Wenyan had already given them enough trouble just by getting involved with the Imperial Observatory. Yun Chen always mocked them and supported Ye Wenyan by stepping on their faces.

Who would have thought that before they could get past the Imperial Observatory, they would have to deal with the Yanhua Palace! What was Yanhua Palace? It was the territory of the Emperor, the most sacred place in the Northern Qi Kingdom, and even the royal family had to pay homage to it.

Why is Ye Wenyan related to Yanhua Palace again? How did he get involved? Is Ye Wenyan related to Yanhua Palace?

A series of questions exploded in everyone's mind, including the Mu family, who looked at Lian Shi in disbelief, then looked at Ye Wenyan, and Ye Feiyu even shook his head involuntarily.

Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, but she was not unaware of it. She was just thinking, the thing that Shi Liyuan was talking about was actually warm jade! Wearing it daily can warm the body, which is exactly what she needs for her whole body coldness!

So he took the thing with a smile and held it in his arms, "Thank you, Master Lian." After saying that, he winked at Zhuier, who quickly handed over the silver. After handing over one silver dollar, he still felt it was not enough, so he gave Lian Shi one of the remaining rubies.

Lian Shi thought about it, took the silver, and pushed the gem back, "This is the first time I come to see the Fourth Miss, I will treat this silver ingot as a reward, and I really can't take the gem. This is the thought that General Ye left for the Fourth Miss before he died, the Fourth Miss should keep it well."

Ye Wenyan sighed when she heard this, "Alas, I also wanted to keep it, but unfortunately I couldn't keep it. Our family is too poor. We eat dry vegetables for every meal, and there are not even a few grains of rice in the porridge we drink in the morning. I am the eldest daughter, so I naturally have to plan for this family. So as soon as the ban was lifted this morning, I asked the maid to take down all the gems and take them to the city to pawn them. I exchanged them for silver to buy rice and meat for my family. So you should keep it, eunuch. It doesn't matter if it's just one."

Lian Shi was immediately unhappy. "There are so many elders in the family. The old lady and the new mistress are all here, and General Ye Er is also here. Why let a little girl make a living? Even if the family needs more rice and meat, the elders should sell things to make money. No matter what, it shouldn't be done by the fourth young lady. Fourth young lady, why do you suffer so much at home?"

The young palace maids who followed behind him were very cooperative. When they heard Lian Shi's expression, they all started to wipe away their tears and kept saying, "The fourth young lady is too pitiful, and the Ye family is too bullying!"

The old lady was so angry that her liver hurt, but she dared not say anything. If the eunuchs from the palace came, she could use her status to retort a few words, after all, she still had the military prestige of General Ye and her first-rank imperial edict.

But she didn't dare to say a word to the people in Yanhua Palace. Not only did she not dare to say anything, she even lowered her head and admitted her weakness. Xiao Shi was also a coward, and Ye Jingsheng was even more cowardly. In front of Yanhua Palace, I'm afraid that except Ye Wenyan, there is no one in the world who is not a coward.

Lian Shi and the other young palace maids cried for a while, and finally turned around to talk to the old lady directly. He asked: "Old lady, is it true that you can't even afford a piece of meat? Is it true that you have no rice to cook? Or is it that you all eat well, and only the fourth lady eats poorly?"

Zhuier saw that the fire was about to catch fire, so he hurriedly added another handful of firewood: "It's not just the fourth young lady, the first lady's side is the same, every meal is stir-fried dried vegetables and boiled dried vegetables."

Lian Shi stamped his feet and said, "This is bullying the fourth young lady who lost her father and the first lady who lost her husband. This is bullying the orphans and widows! How long has it been since General Ye passed away? More than a month, right? Only a month after he passed away, his wife and daughter have ended up like this? Madam Ye, is the general your biological child?"

The old lady felt extremely powerless and had no way to defend herself. How did the topic get to the point of whether the eldest son was her biological son?

Of course the eldest child is her biological child. Although she has always liked the second child, it is true that the eldest child is her biological child.

So he quickly answered, "They are my own children, indeed." After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not that the mansion treats them harshly, nor is it that there is no rice and meat in the mansion. It's just that there is a big funeral at home, so we should eat vegetarian food. As for the rice in the porridge, it's just that I think it's better not to eat too much so early in the morning. Drinking some rice soup will clear the stomach."

"That's how it is!" Ye Wenyan spoke with a look of surprise, "It turns out that I did this unnecessarily and broke the family rules. This is my fault. I hope that grandma will forgive your granddaughter."

She leaned forward towards the old lady, but the old lady absolutely did not believe that her granddaughter was sincerely apologizing to her. She firmly believed that this was another trick of Ye Wenyan, and who knows what other tricks were waiting for her in the future!

As expected, after Ye Wenyan bent over, he quickly stood up and said to Zhuier, "Go and tell the rice merchant to refund all the rice ordered previously. Also, gather all the meat cut today and don't send it to the kitchen. There will be a big funeral at home and we need to eat vegetarian food, so the meat will..." "The meat will be sent to the alleys in the outer city and distributed to the poor people. Just say it was invited by Fourth Miss Ye." The speaker was a nanny who came with Lian Shi. She had been standing behind the crowd until she suddenly spoke at this moment.

Lian Shi saw that she was talking, so he quickly stepped aside to invite the person closer, and then said to Ye Wenyan: "This is Nanny Ji, I brought her here today for the fourth young lady to see. If you like her, you can keep her by your side in the future."

Before Ye Wenyan could say anything, the old lady couldn't control herself and shrieked, "Your last name is Ji?"

Xiao also followed up with a question: "But is it the Ji family in Quanzhou?"

Nanny Ji ignored the two of them completely. She just knelt down in front of Ye Wenyan, kowtowed seriously, and said loudly: "Old slave Ji, kowtow to the fourth young lady."

Ye Wenyan looked at Nanny Ji and thought a lot in his mind.

Shi Liyuan did not mention sending a nanny to her, but since she came with the palace maids from Yanhua Palace, it must have been Shi Liyuan's idea.

This Madam Ji seemed to be about fifty years old, with ordinary looks, the kind that would be almost impossible to find in a crowd.

But she knew that this person was definitely not a simple person. At least the surname "Ji" was not a simple person. Otherwise, the old lady and Xiao Shi would not have reacted so strongly...
