The Four Concubines

Yun Xiao returned to the palace, and as soon as she walked into the gate of the harem, she saw a row of servants standing inside the gate, with rare unified expressions, staring at herself with resentment.

"Cough" Yun Xiao coughed in a cover-up manner, and then thought that she was the biggest in the emperor's palace, straightened her small body, and said confidently, "I'm hungry."

What can the servants say?What else can they say!He glared at Yun Xiao unhappily for a few times, and retreated one by one.Yun Xiao secretly rejoiced, the emperor's privilege finally showed a little bit.

On the second day, Yun Xiao didn't have to go to court, but he was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he had to get up early, had breakfast, and was led by the servants to Zichen Palace to deal with affairs.

It is said to deal with business, but the papers handed over to him are either trivial and irrelevant, or flattering nonsense.

On the contrary, the brochures submitted by the two brothers of the eldest grandson family still have some content, but they are also annotated. The emperor Yun Xiao was picked up by fate, and none of the ministers expected her to make much achievements except the eldest grandson brothers. As long as she is not stupid, the rest is as long as she can live on the outside, she can play whatever she wants.

After scanning the memorials at a glance, the only ones that are useful are Changsun Wuchen's book that said that there seems to be a change in the north, which is still of some value. Yunxiao picks and chooses from this notebook about the north, basically it is the notebook of greetings, the only One is different, I still feel that the north may be hit by a disaster this year, and I hope the court can allocate some supplies in advance.

……

Now it's not even the Mid-Autumn Festival. You and I need winter supplies?I have never been an emperor but I am not a fool!

Yun Xiao roared in her heart, but she hid her emotions very well on the outside, the emperor, even if she wants to be happy, she can still pretend to be her.

Asking the servants to come in and pack up the paperwork, Yun Xiao looked up at the sky, made up his mind, changed clothes and walked out of the palace while the servants were not paying attention.

Yun Xiao has a good memory, she came out once yesterday, and has already memorized the roads she walked around the imperial city. The three-story building of Yingchun Building is still very conspicuous. Yun Xiao couldn't help but think of the grandson Girl, you can't run too far by yourself, why don't you go in and drink tea, maybe you can hear something.

It's just that there are quite a lot of people who came to drink tea today. As soon as Yun Xiao entered the door, he looked up and saw a crowd of people, and there were no seats left.

The servant laughed at the side, "I'm sorry, my lord, there are too many people coming to have tea today, and there are really no more empty tables. Look..."

Yun Xiao shook her head to express her understanding. In ancient times, people without mobile phones or internet would come out to brag about the fun of listening to stories, but she just turned her head and saw an acquaintance.

It was still on the second floor, and it was still the same table, Yun Xiao stopped in her tracks, looked at the boy beside her, "Can I share the table with someone?"

The boy had obviously encountered this kind of thing before.The answer was quick, "Of course! As long as the owner of the table agrees, our Yingchun Tower will not stop it."

Yun Xiao nodded, ordered some refreshments and a pot of spring tea with the servant, and walked towards Sun Jing by herself.

Going up to the second floor, the maid standing behind Sun Jing found him first, bowed her head and said something to Sun Jing, after Sun Jing heard it, she turned her head and looked in Yun Xiao's direction, seeing that it was Yun Xiao, her eyes were crooked She smiled, and Yun Xiao blushed a little.

Well, whether it is ancient or modern, a good-looking lady with a good smile is a foul.

Yun Xiao didn't sit down directly this time, but bowed politely and modestly and asked, "Ms. Sun, Mr. Qin came a little late today, and there are no seats here. I wonder if you can bother Miss, let me have a drink here." Tea?"

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, she didn't hear the other party's reply for a long time. Could it be that she said something wrong?I carefully chewed the wording she just said, and there is nothing wrong with it...

Yun Xiao looked up, and saw Sun Jing's expression was a little surprised, and confusion and puzzlement flashed in his eyes.

? ? ? ? ?Is this girl distracted?

Yun Xiao saw that Sun Jing had no intention of returning to her senses, so she could only speak again, "Uh, Miss Sun...?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, please sit down."

Before Yun Xiao finished speaking, Sun Jing came back to her senses and asked her to sit down.

Yun Xiao originally wanted to say that if she felt embarrassed, she didn't have to worry about herself. She just saw a group of people leaving on the third floor, and a table had already been vacated, but since Sun Jing agreed, Yun Xiao didn't bother to move any more, and sat straight Arrived at the opposite side of Sun Jing.

The boy came at the right time, and brought tea and spring tea in time, Yun Xiao said you're welcome, and squeezed a piece of tea first.

In order to avoid the waiter, she still didn't eat lunch, so she rushed out in a hurry.

It's just that she ate it in a hurry, and choked on the second mouthful. Sun Jing reacted quickly, and quickly poured a cup of tea for Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao took it and drank it down. The refreshment in the throat is down.

"Thank you! Thank you, young lady!"

After Yun Xiao finished speaking, she realized what she had just said. She was taken aback. Seeing that Sun Jing was also looking at her in surprise, she could only bite the bullet and explain, "Don't blame this, Ms. Sun, this is the spoken language habit of my hometown. , I didn't mean to be abrupt, Miss."

Yun Xiao felt that the more she said, the more unreliable she was, but she had to write it down. Fortunately, that Ms. Sun didn't care about it, she just looked at herself and smiled, and didn't make any further comments.

Yun Xiao broke into a cold sweat for herself, but luckily they didn't get to the bottom of it. If she had to ask carefully, she would definitely not be able to hold back. She still needs to be more careful in the future.

"Hmph!" A dissatisfied snort came from the side.

Yun Xiao thought it sounded familiar, turned her head and saw the maid who followed Sun Jing yesterday, today Sun Jing brought two maids out the door, the whispering maid Yun Xiao saw standing outside, Yun Xiao Xiao thought that the violent maid was punished and unable to go out because of what happened yesterday, but she didn't expect to be on the other side.

Yun Xiao smiled at her in a friendly manner. After all, everyone has revolutionary feelings, but she didn't expect that maid to be completely ungrateful and rolled her eyes at her.

Yun Xiao curled her lips and didn't care about it, but Sun Jing said lightly, "Chunhua, don't be rude."

"Oh? Then the other one is called Qiu Shi." Yun Xiao subconsciously answered after hearing the maid's name.

Sun Jing sipped tea lightly, smiling, "Young Master is very talented."

This sentence made Yun Xiao feel a little embarrassed, feeling like a flirtatious young man showing off his literary talent, "Um, Ms. Sun really beats me..."

Sun Jing didn't speak any more, and looked down slowly, Yun Xiao was a little embarrassed, and took a sip of tea to cover up, her face changed after taking it, Yun Xiao swallowed the tea bitterly, His brows were twisted into a Sichuan character.

What Sun Jing looked back was the bitter look on Yun Xiao's face, she wanted to say something but couldn't say it, she was holding back, and for some reason, the smile on Sun Jing's face deepened.

"Young Master Qin, can't you drink bitterly?" Sun Jing had a smile on his face.

Yun Xiao smiled helplessly, what else could she say, it was her first time drinking tea that was bitterer than traditional Chinese medicine!

Seeing Yun Xiao's helpless smile, Sun Jing was in a good mood, took a new teacup and poured her another cup of spring tea, while he continued a cup of bitter tea, took a sip, looked at the bustling crowd below, and said quietly , "Life is too sweet, too smooth, whether it is good or not. Some sweetness is tasted at the first bite, but in fact it is bitter afterward. Only when you taste the bitterness in advance, can you remind yourself from time to time, don't Too naively optimistic."

Sun Jing put down his teacup, turned his head and met Yun Xiao's somewhat complicated eyes.

"It's the same in this peaceful and prosperous age, isn't it?"

Sun Jing's tone was very light, but what he said was very depressing.

Yun Xiao took a sip of spring tea, which was supposed to be fresh and sweet, but she took a sip of bitterness. She didn't know if it was the aftertaste of the bitter tea from before, or if the spring tea was too strong today.

After this cup of tea, the two of them didn't speak, one looked at the eyes of the crowd below, and the other wandered in the sky.

"Hehe, this girl is so handsome."

The frivolous voice drew the two of them back, Yun Xiao glanced at the person, come on, it looks very familiar, isn't it the Mr. Pang from yesterday, are these young masters so honest, running to the teahouse every day instead of going to the brothel .

Yun Xiao frowned and looked at the group of people in front of her. Now it was too late to repeat the old tricks. There were so many people on the other side and the distance was so close, she definitely couldn't outrun them, let alone with three "weak women" with her today.

Sun Jing did not speak from the beginning to the end, and looked at the group of people calmly, as if not worried at all.

On the contrary, a man dressed as a Confucian scholar next to Mr. Pang saw Yun Xiao, his eyes lit up, and he went to Mr. Pang's side again, mumbling what he said.

Yun Xiao is still thinking of a strategy here, but Mr. Pang has already opened his mouth over there.

"This little lady, it is fate to meet you. I don't know if I will be lucky. Please go to the Sikong Mansion to talk about it?" This Mr. Pang said very frivolously, but he bit the word Sikong Mansion very clearly. A kind of warning.

Yun Xiao straightened her body, raised her hands as if listening, and said loudly and slowly, "What? Where are you talking about? What house? Louder!"

Mr. Pang looked at the exaggerated Yun Xiao with a gloomy expression, and said fiercely, "Boy, you'd better get out of here immediately, do you know who I am, and Sikong Mansion..."

"Young master." Yun Xiao smiled brightly, "You should think twice before speaking, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, be careful not to speak out."

"Hahahaha!" Mr. Pang seemed to have heard something extremely funny, and laughed arrogantly, "At the foot of the emperor? Huh, a lucky kid became the emperor and lived in the palace, but he was just a domestic starling , what I tell him to say, he has to learn!"

Yun Xiao's face darkened, she knew that the imperial power was very weak now, but she never thought that someone who was already so weak in the Sikong Mansion would dare to say such outrageous words in such a public place.

In their eyes, the imperial power is their mouthpiece, as if they have already written the imperial decree, and they don't even need her to cover the chapters, but just show you a glance to let you know that such a thing is about to happen.

Seeing Yun Xiao's serious expression, Mr. Pang thought that his words had frightened him, and he was even more proud on his face, "Who dares not to give my Pang family face in this country!"

Sun Jing, who had never opened his mouth all this time, suddenly said, "Today is not the morning sun, and there are many family members and guests here. It is better for Mr. Pang to listen to this son's persuasion and restrain himself. After all, there is still Pang Sikong in this country to save face." people, right?"

Mr. Pang squinted his eyes and looked at Sun Jing unkindly. Sun Jing just sipped his tea calmly and didn't even give him an extra look. At this time, a follower behind Mr. Pang quickly walked up to the front and whispered to him: said a word.

Yun Xiao saw Mr. Pang's complexion change slightly, took a deep look at Sun Jing, and led them away from Yingchun Tower quickly.

The episode on Yunxiao's side didn't affect the whole atmosphere in Yingchun Building, or in other words, no one cared about what happened here at all, they were still talking with the people at the same table, as if Yunxiao and the others didn't exist at all.

Yun Xiao felt a bit of sadness, she understood that it wasn't that they didn't exist, but that this kind of thing happened too many times, they were numb to the point of automatically ignoring these things.

"It's getting late, the little girl will leave first, Mr. Qin, please take your time." Sun Jing got up suddenly and said.

"I..." Yun Xiao originally wanted to say to send her away. After all, they are also people who just ran into the Sikong Mansion, and they don't know how this villain will plot against them, but facing Sun Jing's smiling face, these words are inconceivable. Can't say it out, the smiling face is confident, gentle and... firm, but without a trace of fear or worry, Yun Xiao finally just nodded and watched them leave.

Yun Xiao didn't listen to a single word of what the storyteller said today, and the good spring tea was put aside, and finally Yun Xiao stepped into the palace gate with a complicated expression, carrying a stomach full of bitter tea.
