The pretty mistress of Hou Ye's family

Chapter 167

Meng Tao knocked on the door and squeaked, "Miss, that Miss Mu Li is here again. It's so annoying!"

Yao Yao turned her head coldly, "Has the Crown Prince been released?"

"Well, the confinement was lifted this morning. It's released."

"Oh, you don't need to talk to the woman outside, let her go and quarrel."

"...Miss? This woman is annoying, can you give her a good beating before she becomes a princess?"

Yao Yao couldn't help laughing bitterly, "What are you thinking? They won't settle accounts with you after Qiuhou?"

"But I just can't understand her!"

Yao Yao said calmly, "Don't worry, she can't be the princess."

"Huh? Why?"

"You can't understand even if I explain it to you. Go and sleep lazily. I won't go out today. I'm going to recuperate at home."

"Ok."

Outside the palace, Mu Li was asked to resign. She glared and shouted, "Did she drive me away? Is she crazy? Did she forget that I am her grandfather now! Go and call her out! Old lady!" Let her go out to meet me in person!"

The guards rolled their eyes one after another, motionless like a mountain.

"It really pissed me off!"

what's up?Isn't Yao Yao afraid that they will expose her mother's affairs?How dare you shake her face like this?Don't give her face?

Mu Li couldn't see Yao Yao, so he had no choice but to go back to the prince's bedroom.

After noon, in the imperial study room, Yuwen Dongyue was looking at the memorial, his mind was disturbed, and he was a little careless about political affairs.

Qin Yan glanced at him secretly, "Your Majesty, why are you in a daze?"

Yuwen Tongyue put down the notebook and muttered, "It's not about your wife."

Qin Yan smiled cheerfully, "She has been wronged. The emperor's rewards are not enough. Isn't a decree too perfunctory? You have to understand that my daughter-in-law, the daughter of a scholarly family, pays most attention to her reputation .”

Yuwen Tongyue sighed, "I know, but I don't know what to make up for her. Last time I asked her to choose her own husband and son-in-law, but she didn't choose your son. I pretended to be blind and made a decree. Did I make a mistake? "

Qin Yan glared, "Your majesty, you are being unkind again. The daughter-in-law here is decided by the minister. Even if she writes that she wants to marry the prince and become the prince's concubine, you have to change it for her!"

"..."

Yuwen Tongyue was stupefied, "You're the only one who made the appointment? I still want to give her to my baby!"

Qin Yan rolled his eyes in disgust, "What the hell!"

"Hmm! Be careful with your wording, old man!"

When the two were staring at each other, Eunuch Hong hurried into the room, leaned his head together and whispered, "Your Majesty, something is wrong. There are some gossips outside the palace."

Yuwen Tongyue narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"There are rumors outside the palace that Yao Taifu's wife colluded with the Fan clan to rebel, and even had an affair with a Fan clan man, intending to assassinate her."

Yuwen Dongyue slapped the table angrily, "What's going on? How did this matter spread outside the palace? Which bloody bastard dares to spread rumors? Let me investigate——Let me thoroughly investigate to the end—"

Yao Yao is pruning flower branches in her garden.

Zimo hurried home and shouted, "Ma'am, there are rumors about your mother's scandal outside the palace, saying that your mother colluded with the Fan clan."

Yao Yao remained calm and continued to cut flowers, "Yes, I see."

"Huh?" Zimo asked strangely, "Why is Madam not in a hurry?"

Yao Yao smiled slightly, "The sky propped up by a bunch of lies will collapse sooner or later, why panic? I should panic, I have already panicked. The day I learn the truth, I must be ready for today."

"Hey, there are thieves in broad daylight?" Zimo flew out suddenly.

Yao Yao looked back in surprise, only to see that Zimo pulled out a man in black out of nowhere, and threw it on the ground, with the sword resting on the man's neck.

The man shouted, "Wait a minute, I'm looking for Mrs. Hou."

Zimo stared at him coldly, "Who sent it?" Could it be His Highness the Crown Prince?

Yao Yao waved and said, "Zimo, put the sword away."

"Okay." With him here, he didn't dare to do anything.

Yao Yao was tired of the man in black on the ground, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

"My lady wants to see you!"

Yao Yao was slightly taken aback, "Which lady?"

Zimo was surprised.

how?Not the imperial concubine?
The man in black snorted and said, "Madam knows who she is, so why ask again."

Yao Yao nodded, "Understood, you go back and report, I'll come over at night."

"Ok."

Seeing the man in black slipping away, Zimo muttered, "Ma'am, you're messing around! Master Hou doesn't know?"

Yao Yao smiled and said, "Yes. What's the matter? Are you going to report me?"

Zimo scratched his head, "I can't help you blatantly. If Lord Hou finds out that I helped you hide something from him, do you know the consequences for me?"

Yao Yao said frankly, "It doesn't matter, you go ahead and talk about it. Anyway, I have almost no secrets with Master Hou, and he has already seen through some of them. I just ask Master Hou to be gentle with me, and just don't restrain me at night. "

Zimo nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going to speak to Lord Hou right now, and I must find a way to open the way for Madam."

As soon as Zimo left, Meng Tao rushed over and shouted, "Miss, that Miss Mu Li is here again."

Yao Yao stretched out her hand and pinched her nose, "Keep stopping. There's no need to meet this kind of person."

"But she said she has something to tell you! She looks very anxious!"

"She's not in a hurry. She doesn't understand what I understand. I don't want to be her mentor in life. I don't want to go astray. Let's just sit on the sidelines. Leave her alone!"

"Okay, servant girl to drive her away!"

"Ah."

When Qin Yilan came back at night, she saw that Yao Yao was preparing food and wine, but she put them into baskets one by one.

"Hmm - I'm hungry."

Yao Yao said softly, "Master Hou, don't worry, I've prepared water and wine for you, and I'll bring them to you later. I have something to do tonight, so I won't serve Master Hou."

Qin Yilan grabbed her and said softly, "The vegetable basket is so heavy that you can't carry it. I'll let Zimo follow you and carry the basket for you?"

Yao Yao smiled slightly, "Alright."

Qin Yilan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's late at night and the dew is heavy, so come back earlier."

"know."

As soon as Yao Yao left the room, Zimo hurriedly took the basket from her hand.

All the way to the gate of the Lenggong Palace, two guards blocked the way, "The important place of the Lenggong Palace, idlers are not allowed to enter without permission."

Yao Yao lifted off the heavy cloak and covered her head, revealing her delicate face.

The guards took a look and hurriedly stepped aside to make way for her.

There was no chance for her to take out the jade pendant in her hand. Sure enough, the cold palace was as suspicious as ever.

Yao Yao was silent for a moment, then stepped into the gate of the palace.

Zimo followed quietly, pondering over and over again, but wisely, he didn't ask any questions.

When the two entered the courtyard of the Lenggong, Yao Yao looked at the dumb father-in-law by the well, but there was no sign of him.

Yao Yao frowned slightly, and walked to the door of the house without saying a word, "Madam, I am here to greet you."

"come in."

Hongling Fuxiang's voice came from the room.

Yao Yao took Zimo's vegetable basket and exhorted, "Wait here and don't go anywhere."

"Yes."

Yao Yao entered the room with a smile on her lips, "Your Majesty, I have made some delicious appetizers, and I brought some fine wine that I brewed myself for your Majesty to taste."

Hongling Fuxiang chuckled, "Okay. That will save me money for food! Come and sit down."
