Jiaochu

Chapter 153 Yangzhou Governor ([-])

Seeing Concubine Lan, Meng Jingxiu called her "Empress" in a sweet voice, and Ye Lingxi also called her "Concubine" coquettishly. The two of them surrounded Concubine Lan like butterflies. Full of gentle and loving smiles, I also ate more than usual.

"My queen looks so beautiful when she eats. She is just as beautiful as my mother-in-law. My father likes to watch my mother-in-law eat. He also said that my mother-in-law is beautiful and delicious."

"cough…"

Ye Lingxi choked and thought to herself, why does the little girl always tell others about everything~
"Sister Lingxi, are you okay? Take a drink of water." Meng Jingxiu handed a glass of water to Ye Lingxi and continued, "Uncle Huang must also like to see the way the empress eats. She is as beautiful as my mother-in-law."

"Ahem..." Ye Lingxi took another sip of water.

Concubine Lan blushed even more, and the two red clouds on her face were as hot as rouge.

"Sister Jing'er, where do you want to go for a stroll today?" Ye Lingxi changed the subject and said, "The plum blossoms in the plum garden should be in bloom, why don't we go there and have a look. Concubine, let's go too, I want to break some branches for my concubine. Beautiful plum blossoms.”

Meng Jingxiu also asked Concubine Lan to go with her, so after breakfast, Concubine Lan took one by one and went to the plum garden.

On the way, Meng Jingxiu said that her mother-in-law also liked plum blossoms, so her father found all kinds of plum blossoms and planted them in the yard. Later, when the yard could no longer be planted, her father smashed down the wall and planned to build a bigger one. After her mother and concubine found out about the courtyard, her father personally repaired the fence.

Ye Ling said to her heart that this King Pingnan was really versatile, and she was even more curious about what kind of person this Princess Pingnan was~
When they were near the koi pond, Concubine Xiao walked over, followed by a crowd of palace maids. The golden robe on her head was dazzling, inlaid with a circle of bright and crystal rubies. It was separated by a few meters away. The flashing golden light can be seen from a distance.

"Who is this empress?" Meng Jingxiu asked in a low voice.

"It's Concubine Xiao," Ye Lingxi replied.

Meng Jingxiu said oh, her eyes paused on the conspicuous golden walking stick.

After Concubine Xiao came over, she heard that Concubine Lan was going to the Plum Garden to see the plum blossoms, so she said that she had originally planned to go and see it, but it would be a bit deserted to see it alone, so she went with Concubine Lan.

On the way, Concubine Xiao casually mentioned the incident of leaving the palace yesterday, and asked Meng Jingxiu how she was enjoying herself. Meng Jingxiu kept talking about what she saw and heard on the street, all the way to the gate of Meiyuan, and did not mention Chunfeng Tower during the process.

When a group of people walked in, Concubine Xiao said: "If the princess still wants to leave the palace, I will ask Ling'er to take the princess out of the palace to play."

Hearing the last word "play", Ye Lingxi's face flashed with a strange look, feeling that this word was a bit inconsistent with her second brother's temperament.

"Does the Second Highness usually go out to play in the palace?" Meng Jingxiu's tone also showed a bit of disbelief. She really couldn't imagine the other party loitering outside.

"Ling'er rarely leaves the palace on weekdays. This child just studies too hard. The emperor also praised him for his diligence and asked him to pay more attention to rest and go out for a walk." said Concubine Xiao.

Meng Jingxiu said oh but said nothing else.

A trace of displeasure flashed across Concubine Xiao's face, and she stopped talking and said to Concubine Lan: "Sister, have you heard? Something big happened last night."

"My Lady, what's the big deal?" Ye Lingxi tilted her head and asked. Meng Jingxiu was going to take her to see the plum blossoms, but when she heard that something big had happened, she looked at Concubine Xiao with her big eyes.

Concubine Xiao paused, appetizing the two of them, and asked the palace attendants behind her to retreat, and then said: "I heard that the governor of Yangzhou was poisoned last night, and I don't know what happened to him now. "

Hearing the word poisoning, both pairs of big eyes showed a hint of surprise.

"I don't know who is so bold and dares to murder an official of the imperial court. The emperor lost his temper because of this. I guess he still hasn't gotten rid of his anger." Xiao Guifei said sadly, "I don't know that the emperor used it. There is no breakfast, so what if you are so angry that you are so angry?" He added, "How about my sister go and persuade the emperor? If my sister goes to persuade him, the emperor will definitely calm down."

"Father, I can definitely bring the bad guys to justice." Ye Lingxi said firmly.Meng Jingxiu also said: "Uncle Huang is wise and powerful, and even great things cannot be difficult for Uncle Huang."

"I hope the real culprit can be caught soon, and the emperor can feel at ease soon." Xiao Guifei said.

Concubine Lan nodded, her gentle eyes showing concern and worry.

"Concubine, my father is so powerful. Even if that person has wings on his back, he can't escape from his grasp." Ye Lingxi said as he pulled Concubine Lan to look at the plum blossoms. "Concubine, look at this branch. Does it look good?" Meng Jingxiu also came over to take a look, then pointed to the one next to her and said, "That branch is prettier." She pulled Ye Lingxi, and Ye Lingxi held Concubine Lan, and the three of them walked over hand in hand.

Concubine Xiao stood for a while and then left without saying hello.

Seeing Concubine Xiao leave, Ye Lingxi said: "Concubine, let's send some plum blossoms to my father later. When my father sees such beautiful plum blossoms, maybe his mood will improve." Meng Jingxiu winked at her slyly. He blinked his eyes, as if to say: What a little fox~
"If the empress picked the plum blossoms herself, Uncle Huang would be happy to see them."

As the two sang and harmonized, Lan Fei's gentle face was also stained with a bit of the beauty of red plum.

……

After returning to the palace, Ye Lingxi specially chose a large white porcelain vase, put the red plum picked by her mother-in-law in the vase, and then held hands with Meng Jingxiu to send the plum blossoms.

When he arrived outside the imperial study room, he happened to see Yan Fei and his third uncle Yan Jiang coming out.

"This plum blossom is pretty good." Yan Jiang came over and praised it.

Ye Lingxi said: "This is for my father."

"Then princess, come in quickly, just in time for the emperor to look at the flowers to change his mood." Yan Jiang said.

When Eunuch De led the two of them in, he quietly reminded: "The emperor is not in a good mood right now. The princess and princess should pay attention."

Therefore, the two of them bowed politely and said hello after entering.

Seeing his little girl and niece, Ye Lanchen's serious expression on his brows softened a bit, and his voice also slowed down a bit. He raised his hand to let the two of them get up, and then waved them to come over. Then the two of them walked lively on their feet. He went over and called out his father and uncle.

"Your Majesty, look, the princess and the princess have sent plum blossoms." Eunuch De waved his hand, and Xiao Anzi and another young eunuch brought in a white porcelain vase filled with plum blossoms.

The branches are sparse and the pistils have a pleasant fragrance. It is even more pleasing to the eye when paired with a white porcelain vase.

"Father, this plum blossom was picked by the mother and concubine herself. Does Father like it?" Ye Lingxi asked in a sweet and soft voice.

Ye Lanchen said with a smile: "It looks good."

Seeing that her father's mood improved, Ye Lingxi stared at her father's face again, with a serious expression.

"What's wrong? Is there something on Father's face?" Ye Lanchen asked.

Ye Lingxi shook his head and said, "Father has lost weight. He must not have eaten well."
