The time in the palace is running out, Yelu Qingrou still wants to find more opportunities to spend some time with Gu Shuyao, but Gu Shuyao hides in Ye Mansion and doesn't see her.Yelu Qingrou had a plan in mind, and she still started by seducing Gu Shuyao.

On this day, she let out rumors that she would recommend a woman as the female official of the White Dragon Palace.The Chuanguo Yuxi is in the White Dragon Hall, and Gu Shuyao even dreamed of getting the jade seal. If she could be the female official in charge of confidentiality in the White Dragon Hall, she could find a chance to steal it.

As long as you get the jade seal, you can flee to Song Dynasty with Ye Ziyan, and then Daliao will have nothing to do with them.

When Gu Shuyao heard the news, she really couldn't sit still in Ye Mansion.She said anxiously: "I must win the position of the female official of the White Dragon Palace, this is the only chance to get the jade seal!"

Ye Ziyan said: "If you enter the palace, you will be fooled by Yelu Qingrou again, she is deliberately seducing you!"

"Then what should I do?" Gu Shuyao said.

Ye Ziyan sighed and said: "I will go for you, if I become a female official of the White Dragon Palace, I will definitely get the jade seal!"

Gu Shuyao grabbed Ye Ziyan's hand and said, "Yelu Qingrou hates you so much, why would she agree when you go?"

Ye Ziyan lowered her head and smiled, she looked at Gu Shuyao and said, "Don't worry, I would rather sacrifice myself than see you being eaten tofu by Yelu Qingrou!"

"What do you mean by sacrificing yourself?" Gu Shuyao asked puzzled.

Ye Ziyan didn't respond, she just told Gu Shuyao not to enter the palace, and she must come back in three days.Ye Ziyan took a red leather box out of nowhere, painted her nails blue, and walked away slowly.

At night, Ye Ziyan came straight to see Yelu Qingrou, who was sitting by the pool with bare feet and playing in the water alone.When she saw Ye Ziyan coming in, she said: "The person I hate the most in this world is you! I already know that it was you who tricked me into changing the imperial edict secretly!"

Ye Ziyan looked at Yelu Qingrou, Yelu Qingrou had anger in her eyes, and her chest heaved with anger.

Ye Ziyan was silent for a long time, and then said: "I want to be the female officer of the White Dragon Palace, I know you can do it!"

Yelu Qingrou folded her arms and kicked the water vigorously with her feet, the water splashed and fell to the ground. "Do you think it's possible?" she said aloud.

"Because I rejected you, you are like this! I don't like you being so willful!" Ye Ziyan said unceremoniously.

Yelu Qingrou was stunned and stared at her blankly.

Ye Ziyan said lightly: "I hope the grievances between the two of us can be written off!"

Yelu Qingrou's thoughts were a little confused, and the previous scene reappeared in her mind.

Looking at Ye Ziyan, she said bitterly: "I will never forget the summer two years ago, that was the first time I saw you playing the piano and dancing under the moonlight, you were so beautiful at that time! Since then I have I fell in love with you in my heart! Later, I couldn't help but miss you, and ran to your Yefu with my pipa in my arms to find you, and poured out my heart to you, hoping that you could play me a song "The Fishing Boat Sings Evening". But you refused I also said that I like men. You tell me that you like Xiao Yifan, the son of Prime Minister Xiao, and you don’t like me! At that time, you humiliated me severely, and I cried so much that I threw down my lute and went back to the palace in the rain. People shivering in the middle of the night..."

Ye Ziyan looked at her, and Yelu Qingrou's tears rolled down her face. She cried so hard that she couldn't help herself.

Ye Ziyan opened the red leather case, and saw a pipa inside.Yelu Qingrou was shocked when she saw the pipa. She squatted down with bare feet, stroked the pipa and said, "This is my pipa!"

Ye Ziyan said calmly: "When you came to me with your pipa in your arms and said you liked me, I was shocked because I never thought of falling in love with a woman. You left crying that night, leaving After playing this pipa, I was very touched when I saw you running in the rain. Since then, your charming appearance has always been in my mind! At that moment, I found that I have more feelings for girls Until I saw Gu Shuyao, I was completely captured by her! Rou'er, I'm sorry, I haven't figured out whether I like a man or a woman in the past two years? Your confession that day was too abrupt, and I was not prepared at all, so I can only respond to you with anger and humiliation. Today, I formally apologize to you and resolve our grievances over the past two years!"

Yelu Qingrou cried bitterly, she said bitterly: "It's too late, I'm getting married!"

"Isn't it good for you to marry the man I once loved? I will never like a man again in this life, so you can accompany him for me!" Ye Ziyan said slightly sadly.

Yelu Qingrou looked at her and said, "Why don't you like him anymore?"

Ye Ziyan smiled lightly and said: "I was young then, but now the flowers are blooming! That's all!"

Ye Ziyan stretched out her hand and said: "I know you like blue nails, today I specially painted blue nails for you, please let me play a song "Fishing Boat Sings Evening" for you, to miss each other's past and the hazy Love!"

Yelu Qingrou stopped crying, Ye Ziyan pushed open the window, she sat in front of the window, and played her beloved pipa facing the bright moon in the sky.She has a fair face and black hair like water, holding the pipa and singing softly while playing it.

The summer night two years ago appeared before Yelu Qingrou's eyes again, under the shadow of the moon, as gentle as you, dancing on the guzheng and pipa.At that time, Ye Ziyan was still very young, and Yelu Qingrou was even more ignorant.

"If I were the Qing Emperor in his year, I will repay the peach blossoms with me!" This was the promise Yelu Qingrou made at that time.

Unexpectedly, this promise was shattered. Looking at Ye Ziyan's enchanting figure, it seemed as if the moonlight was shining on her body.Chang'e's descent to earth is nothing more than that!

Seeing the blue fingers plucking the strings, Yelu Qingrou covered her mouth and sobbed.

After playing a piece, Ye Ziyan put down the pipa.She said softly: "I hope the two years of grievances can be resolved today, and the pipa will return to its original owner!"

Yelu Qingrou looked at her with tears on her face.

Ye Ziyan lowered her head and wanted to leave, but Yelu Qingrou hugged her from behind and said, "Stay with me for a night! If it weren't for me, and the night when I confessed to you, you would still be deeply in love Man, Xiao Yifan who loves you! Shouldn't you thank me?"

Ye Ziyan's heart trembled, she gently grabbed Yelu Qingrou's hand and said: "Even if I love women, I can only love one. I love Gu Shuyao, and I will not be sentimental towards other women!"

Yelu Qingrou sniffed her long hair and said: "I'm going to get married soon, can't you stay with me for a night? If you agree, I'll tell my father to let you take charge of the White Dragon Palace! I know you want to help Gu Shuyao takes back the Chuanguo Yuxi, and I will fulfill you!"

Ye Ziyan raised her head and looked at the bright moon outside the window. She smiled and said: "Emotions cannot be forced. I am here to apologize today, not to sleep with you! Princess, please respect yourself!"

Yelu Qingrou was startled, she wiped her tears and said, "Okay! The grievances between us can be written off, but I won't let you, Gu Shuyao!"

Ye Ziyan looked at her sideways, with a hint of stubbornness in her pointed chin, she tossed her hair and said, "I will accompany you to the end!"

"Get out!" Yelu Qingrou pointed to the door and said.

Ye Ziyan blinked her eyes with long eyelashes, and walked out proudly with a snort.

"I hate you, Ye Ziyan!" Yelu Qingrou shouted.

Although Yelu Qingrou was still angry with Ye Ziyan, her apology was somewhat forgiven by Yelu Qingrou.

Yelu Qingrou's attitude towards the two of them has also greatly improved, and the three of them drink together every day to enjoy flowers, play the piano and sing and dance.

On this day, Yelu Qingrou went south to Youzhou to enjoy the flowers, and the emperor sent Ye Ziyan and Gu Shuyao to accompany him.

The three of them arrived in the prosperous Yanjing Youzhou in a sedan chair.Yeluqing and the two of them looked around, the market here was very lively.They changed into casual clothes together and came to an embroidery building.

There are all kinds of beautiful silks displayed here.Yelu Qingrou looked very happy, she said: "These look like they were produced in Jiangnan!"

Ye Ziyan said: "I've always wanted a Yuexiu horse, do you know if there is one?"

They called the boss of Xiulou, and the boss said: "What do you ladies want?"

Gu Shuyao said: "We want some Yuexiu!"

The boss smiled and said, "Yuexiu is gone!"

Yelu Qingrou sighed and said: "The silk of the Southern Dynasties is famous far and wide, but it is a pity that it is gone!"

The boss said: "Our embroidery building is exclusively provided by the Youzhou Weaving Bureau. Now all the high-quality silk is sent to the Prince's Mansion with internal funds. To be honest, our tributes from Daliao are all taken up by the Prince's Mansion of the current dynasty! "

Yelu Qingrou said angrily: "This prince is too domineering!" Ye Ziyan and Gu Shuyao didn't dare to say anything.

Afterwards, the boss said: "Now a girl came to Beijing, she is only 16 years old. I heard that she is the prime minister's daughter named Xiao Yanyan. The Prince's Mansion sent her to be in charge of the local money weaving, killing and making decisions, really amazing!"

Yelu Qingrou was overjoyed, she clapped her hands and said, "My future sister-in-law! Xiao Yifan's own sister, Xiao Yanyan!"

The boss was taken aback, looked at Yelu Qingrou and asked, "Who is this girl?"

Yelu Qingrou smiled and said: "This lady is the fiancee of the Prime Minister Xiao Yifan!"

The boss was startled, plopped down on his knees and said, "His Royal Highness Jin An, thousand years old!"

Yelu Qingrou said happily: "It seems that everyone knows about my Princess Baoyue marrying Xiao Yifan! Let's go, let's go to Youzhou Weaving Bureau, and find Xiao Yanyan to go to Yuexiu!"

The three of them left the embroidery building and went straight to the Weaving Bureau.After the servant informed, they went in together.

After entering the weaving bureau, a very beautiful girl came out.I saw her wearing an apricot-yellow floor-to-ceiling skirt, a lotus-colored brocade jacket, and a small braid.Her complexion is blue, with willow-leaf eyebrows curved, and her red phoenix eyes are particularly shining.This person was Xiao Yanyan, who was later the famous Empress Dowager Xiao of Daliao.

Xiao Yanyan kowtowed and said: "I have seen the princess!"

Yelu Qingrou smiled and said: "We will be a family from now on, get up!"

They went in together, Xiao Yanyan naturally knew Ye Ziyan.

Ye Ziyan said: "We want to buy some Yuexiu, so we troubled my sister!"

Xiao Yanyan said: "What's so difficult about this! I didn't understand government affairs at first, but my father said that I don't have much fun being idle at home. Besides, we Khitan women are used to showing their faces, so we came out to practice!"

Afterwards, Xiao Yanyan ordered: "Come here, quickly bring all the silks such as Yuexiu and Shuxiu!"

Ye Ziyan was startled, this Xiao Yanyan spoke frankly and acted decisively, she was really a heroine.

As soon as she ordered, many people brought all kinds of silk and some flax from the Western Regions and put them on the table.The three of them were dazzled, Yelu Qingrou said: "I have been in the palace for many years, and I have never seen such fine silk!"

Xiao Yanyan said: "Choose what you like, and I'll send it to Shangjing for you!" They took a lot of silk they liked, and Xiao Yanyan arranged for them to live in a villa in Youzhou.

This is a mansion, and there is a lot of traffic outside.It was spring at this time, and there were many people coming and going in the market, and many people from the Song Dynasty came to do business.Ye Ziyan and Gu Shuyao lived their daily lives.Yelu Qingrou lives in Xiao Yanyan's weaving bureau, and is served by maids and servants every day.

"Let's just live a happy life here, don't worry about other people!" Gu Shuyao said.

Ye Ziyan said: "I also want to do it myself like ordinary people, and have enough food and clothing!"

As a result, the two lived a happy home life.

The first thing they did was to cut clothes. Gu Shuyao was ingenious and quickly made a pair of breasts for Ye Ziyan with Yuexiu.Ye Ziyan was very happy to put it on, she smiled at the mirror, Gu Shuyao put her chin on her shoulder and smiled, and they sat down together.

Although Youzhou is on the front line of the war, the commerce here is still very developed.Gu Shuyao grew up in Youzhou, which is her hometown.

Gu Shuyao was a little homesick, she murmured: "I wonder if my Gu's compound is still there?"

Ye Ziyan smiled and said: "I'm back in my hometown, let's go and have a look!"

The two of them took the carriage together to the Gu family's compound. The two of them opened the door and went in, only to see that the inside was already empty.

Gu Shuyao said in surprise: "Where are our servants?"

Ye Ziyan smiled and said: "I'm afraid those slaves divided your Gu family!"

Gu Shuyao smiled helplessly and said, "Forget it, anyway, I seldom come back!"

The two of them decided to live here for a few days, and then they also took this opportunity to contact people from the Song Dynasty. After all, Youzhou was at the forefront of the Song-Liao war.

The two of them should familiarize themselves with the route first, so that they can escape to the Song Dynasty smoothly when they get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in the future.
