Empress and concubine

But she wasn't afraid at all. Ziyan had served Zhao Yi for many years, and her temper was similar to Zhao Yi's. War was something that excited her, even if it was a rebellious battle in the palace.

Zhao Yi turned her eyes, but saw the tassel hanging from the sword hanging by the bed, her heart trembled, and she gradually calmed down.That sword tassel was made by Chu Yao himself.

Zhao Yi stretched out his hand to hold Jian Sui in his hand, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, everything is ready now, and I only owe the wind to Han."

Chu Yao was about to fall into a dream at this time, but was awakened very quickly, because in the dream, she heard Zhao Yi talking to herself, and Zhao Yi said, "My son, wait for me, just for you, I will plan well , we will be able to live a good life together."

When Huaying heard the noise coming in, she saw Chu Yao sitting on the bed with her hands on her chest, panting heavily, with some fine beads of sweat on her forehead, her face was fine but thoughtful, so she hurriedly pulled Chu Yao away Holding her hand, she said, "Your Majesty, what did you dream about?" While talking, Hua Ying quietly drew a symbol on Chu Yao's palm.

Chu Yao heard Huaying talk, and Huaying moved again, and then she gradually came back to her senses. Her expression was a little unclear, but she said, "I just suddenly dreamed about living with my mother and sisters when I was a child. I still remember Dao has been forgotten, unexpected, but still remember so clearly."

"You miss Mrs. Chu, right?" Hua Ying paused, then deliberately said, "Don't you think Mrs. Chu, but not Master?"

"How could that be?" Chu Yao cast a reproachful look at Huaying, "It's just that my father is someone who wants to help the saint do great things, but I can't say anything about it. I remember that when I returned to Daxia, I often missed my father and worried about him. He is in good health, and he was worried that the royal family of the Li Kingdom would make things difficult for him, but he thought that his father was in constant contact with the saint, and if there was anything, the saint would definitely not hide it from me, so he didn't worry so much. No news is the best news, isn't it? ? When the sage's plan is accomplished and my father comes to Daxia, I can see him from time to time, and I will always care about him."

"If Master knows that you care about him so much, he will be very happy." Huaying deliberately looked out of the window and said, "It's getting late, you have to do your filial piety to the Empress Dowager tomorrow morning, why don't you rest early .”

"Alright," Chu Yao nodded, and then said to Hua Ying, "Don't forget to call me tomorrow."

After these few words, Chu Yao really fell asleep, until the next morning, when Chu Yao saw the people wearing brightly colored clothes, she said, "I still have to go to the Empress Dowager today, why did I present such clothes?" Come up."

Hua Ying pretended to be surprised when she heard the words, "Ah, but it was the negligence of the servant."

Seeing this, Hongzhu hurriedly said, "I will lead them to fetch them now, my lady, please talk to Huaying first."

Chu Yao nodded and signaled them to go out. When Hongzhu and the others hadn't come back after grooming, Chu Yao drove all the palace people out of the house, leaving only Huaying, saying that she wanted to talk to Huaying.

Seeing that the palace people had gone out, Hua Ying whispered to Chu Yao, "Mother, the saint was outside last night."

After hearing this, Chu Yao was also a little surprised, "Maybe you are sure?"

Huaying nodded, "At first, I was the nail of some family, but after thinking about it, only the saint and the general belonged to such a bold family, but the general wouldn't be able to send someone to deliver a letter, so I guessed it belonged to the saint." Excuse me, who would have thought that sister Hongzhu told me quietly this morning that a saint had come in person."

"It's rare." Chu Yao's heart sank slightly, "In the future, you and Hong Zhu will be more cautious in doing things, but you don't need to be particularly taboo about your connection with the Chu family outside the palace. Suspect."

"Yes," Huaying agreed, "Your Majesty thinks, what kind of moth is going to come out of the saint?"

What a moth?Chu Yao pursed her lips and smiled, and tapped Huaying's forehead with her index finger, "How dare you say it with your mouth," and said, "But it's also on point, if he has no other ideas, he definitely won't come here at night Yes. I don't believe it if he says it's all planned."

"Where do you start with this?" Huaying was a little strange, but suddenly realized, "Yes, yes, he designed you and the general, and he still felt a little guilty, so he came to see you, but he wanted to hide it. In the past, I wanted to find some unsatisfactory places on you and the general, so instead of being as straightforward as before, I came here quietly in the middle of the night, as if not calling others... No matter how you look at it, they are no different from thieves."

"Next time if you see him, just shout loudly and catch the 'thief'," Chu Yao said half jokingly and half seriously.

After hearing this, Huaying smiled, "Exactly, I should call someone."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and then heard Hong Zhu's voice, "Your Majesty, the clothes you changed this time will definitely satisfy you."

Huaying got up quickly, and waited on Chu Yao together with Hongzhu. She put on an indigo blue dress with two rare peacocks embroidered on the skirt, and a water blue tulle top over her head. It wears a royal blue tasseled lace with drop-shaped sapphires on it.Because of this dress, Hongzhu chose Huasheng for Chu Yao with the main pattern of peacock holding a pearl, and decorated it with twisted golden snow willow on the side, emerald emerald tins which are popular nowadays, and malachite earrings, which are more beautiful. People dare not look directly at it.

"Niang Niang, you are more and more beautiful," Huaying couldn't help but praise.

"That's right," Hongzhu exclaimed in her eyes, "You didn't dress up much in the past, but with your all-over aura, you are already the number one beauty in the palace. It varies from time to time."

Chu Yao was not too embarrassed to hear the two people's compliments. She had already been used to such words after listening to them for more than 20 years.Therefore, there is no embarrassment, but there is nothing to talk about joy.Instead, a palace official came in and reminded that it was time to go to the Empress Dowager.

"Concubine Shu is wearing that peacock-patterned dress today, paired with gorgeous jewelry, and she has that noble aura... The servants took a look from a distance, but they didn't dare to recognize it."

Zhao Yi closed her eyes and listened quietly, then said, "Well, well done, you can go down to receive the reward."

Zi Yan stood at the side, and waited until the palace maid went out happily, then said to Zhao Yi, "General, you are kind, the palace maid only said a thing or two, and didn't go into details, so you rewarded her with such a favor. "

"I don't need to go into details, I know it too," Zhao Yi opened her eyes, but it turned out that she was sitting in front of a table with white paper, various rouges and mineral powders on the table.Zhao Yi didn't ask Zi Yan to help, but took a brush and an empty plate with her own hands, soaked the rouge evenly, and began to paint.It didn't take long before it was done, and if the palace servants had seen it just now, they would be surprised, she just said a few words, and she didn't even mention it, but Zhao Yi scored Chu Yao's outfit today perfectly.

"Let's pack it up," Zhao Yi sighed, "Let's dry it and store it well. After a while, it can be mounted upright."

In the past, Tsing Yi Chang loved to pack some gorgeous and glamorous outfits for Chu Yao, which fit Chu Yao's temperament, and also made Chu Yao, the title of the most beautiful woman in the harem, sit more solidly.In fact, Chu Yao also prefers such a more majestic dress, but it's a pity... Later, the Han family entered the palace, and Xia Yunjing planned to wipe out Chu Yao's brilliance little by little.

Now, he will not be given this chance again.Chu Yao opened her eyes, Hongzhu and Huaying both came to help her step down, Aunt Wan was waiting in front of the door, the empress dowager's residence had already arrived.

Chu Yao evoked a sweet smile, suppressed the cold and glamorous temperament all over her body by three points, and turned into innocence. After Aunt Wan nodded, Chu Yao walked towards the Queen Mother's bedroom as usual, and she hadn't arrived yet. , so he opened his mouth first and said, "Madam, Yao'er came to see you, didn't you dislike Yao'er's dull clothes yesterday, and Yao'er specially matched a suit of clothes today, do you think it suits you?"

Chu Yao had timed her speech well, and just finished speaking, she turned into the inner room, and saw that Mrs. Bo was dressed in a gentleman's palace attire, and was serving the Empress Dowager with medicine, so she went to salute and said, "Your Majesty, be happy and healthy."

Now that Mrs. Bo has become a good man, the queen mother feels that her ability to control the harem is not too bad, and Chu Yao's family background is almost equal to that of Zhao Yi, so she is more angry with Zhao Yi than before. When they got close, even Bo, who was pushed up with one hand, had to lean back.Seeing Chu Yao approaching at this time, the queen mother hurriedly smiled, beckoned Chu Yao over, took Chu Yao's hand again, looked carefully for a while, and then nodded in satisfaction, "You are at the age of a flower. It's time to dress up like this, and it's nice."

Seeing Chu Yao coming in, Mrs. Bo wisely avoided Chu Yao and saluted. Taking advantage of the time, she handed over the medicine bowl to the palace servants standing beside her. Seeing that the queen mother had finished speaking, she said to Chu Yao, "Shu The concubine is always happy."

If Chu Yao wanted to go back to the queen mother, she had to avoid Bo's gift at this time, but Chu Yao didn't want to be so troublesome, but said through the words of the queen mother just now, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of Yaoer, Bo Liang Talent is at the age of a flower." After finishing speaking, he said to Bo again, "Every time I come, you have to be so polite. Fortunately, although the empress loves you, she also knows my difficulties, otherwise , I am afraid that if I see such a scene every day, I will say that I bullied you."

"Slave servants are humble, concubine Shu, you are the most respected, you should salute and say hello," Mrs. Bo deliberately said stupidly, so that the queen mother could speak out.

"She knows the rules, but you love to make trouble with her." The Queen Mother really came out to reconcile, but it also had a hint of partiality, "In this harem, a humble person should bow to the venerable."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she put the topic aside again, and said to Bo, "Yao'er is about the same age as a flower, but you are not far behind. Today, Yao'er changed her attire, and tomorrow you will come back in a different one. It won't be good if you don't have to wait on my old lady every day and restrain your temper."

Hearing this, Chu Yao had an idea, "Liang Bo is a filial piety, you can't call her your mother, you should reward her." After speaking, she continued, "In a few days, an envoy from the Li Kingdom will come, presumably to open the door. For a banquet, why don't you ask your lover to go see the world?"

"You can't do slaves," Bo quickly waved his hands, "What's more, if slaves go, the queen mother will be alone, so it's better not to go."

"There is only one missing you," Chu Yao said, "It happened that I was not feeling well in those few days, so I took a leave of absence and came to talk to my mother. I am not happy to have you more."

The queen mother immediately made a decision when she heard the words, "Concubine Shu has already said so, so you go."

Only then did Bo's face show a little joy, and he replied, "Your servant knows."
