Emperor's Women

"Red apricots come out of the wall?" looking at Zixi who didn't know how to speak, she could guess one or two. Since she can't say it clearly, she just said it.

It seems that Fang Yan didn't expect to say it so plainly. Zixi's face turned pale and waved her hand again and again: "it's not like this, empress... It's not..."

Seeing her nervous appearance, Fang Yan was more convinced. She smiled and said, "so what? I'm afraid the rumor is even worse?"

The manufacture of guns is carried out in secret, so the training is naturally carried out in secret. Except LAN Haotian, Zixi was carrying a food box. Xiaoyuanzi was on duty outside the door. As soon as she was about to go in, she was stopped by Xiaoyuanzi: "Zixi girl, Khan ordered, and no one was seen."

I knew she wouldn't see her, and Zixi didn't intend to see her at all. Zixi nodded, handed him the food box in her hand and said, "this is the Huaihua cake made by my mother. Please send it to my maid. Please give it to my father-in-law."

Xiaoyuanzi reached out and took it. Lian Sheng said, "Hey, what are you talking about? The empress can make cakes for Khan by herself. Don't worry, our family will bring it."

"Thank you very much. Hey, I hope Khan doesn't misunderstand my mother." Zixi thanked again and again, but sighed again and again.

Although the imperial palace is not small, it is not big. There are only individuals in the Communist Party who come and go back. In addition, the gossip in the palace has always spread very fast. Xiaoyuanzi doesn't know.

"What the girl said is the rumor of the queen? Alas, I don't know where the rumor came from. Isn't it a slander?" what should be said in front of what kind of people. Xiaoyuanzi has been talking with Lan Hao for many years. How can he not know such a truth.

Seeing that things had successfully led to the key point, Zixi looked around and made sure that no one around looked this way. Then she whispered to Xiaoyuanzi: "in fact... I heard that the news was first spread by the one from Huaqing Palace."

"Is this true?" Xiaoyuanzi was puzzled, but she also knew that Shufei loved to chew her tongue on weekdays. Since he got the holy favor, he didn't lose his tail to show the faces of these palace people. Although those palace people are respectful to her on the surface, they actually scold everything behind their backs.

"Ah, of course, the maidservant also quietly explored the words of the people in Huaqing Palace. It's absolutely true. It's not the maidservant's nonsense." Zixi's face was more mysterious and hurried to make sure.

Just at this time, someone came and whispered to each other. They immediately separated. Zixi also saluted Xiaoyuanzi and said in a small voice, "then please father-in-law yuan." then he turned and left.

Back to Fengyi palace, Fang Yan was waiting there. Looking at Zixi, who came back empty handed, and the unconscious smile on her face, she knew.

"Yes?" Fang Yan asked with an eyebrow.

Zixi nodded and smiled with relief: "it's done."

"Make something light for dinner and wait for Khan to come." Fang Yan put the tea lamp in his hand to the table, stood up and walked to the bed.

Light? Several question marks flashed in Zixi's cerebellar bag, but she didn't ask. When the evening came, everything would be known.

The dinner was very. Fang Yan didn't ask Han Jin to have dinner together, but sat at the table alone.

Zixi looked out of the hall from time to time, whispered in Fang Yan's ear and asked, "madam, don't you wait for Khan to come and have dinner together?"

"What are you waiting for him to do? Besides, Khan didn't send anyone to send a message that he would come over for dinner tonight." Fang Yan reacted faintly, took a piece of clear mouth tofu and sent it to his mouth.

In this way, Zixi seemed to understand and didn't speak. She seriously gave Fang Yan cloth dishes.

However, for a long time, Xiaoyuanzi's singing harmony sounded outside the hall: "Khan arrived..."

Zixi, who was not prepared at all, shook her hand with silver chopsticks and looked at Fang Yan in panic. However, she stood up calmly, walked to the door of the hall and saluted respectfully: "see Khan."

Today's LAN Haotian is a little abnormal. He is no longer as indifferent as the other party's Yan before. Instead, he helped her up and took her hand to the table.

This scene fell in Zixi's eyes and was filled with joy. You know, Khan has not been close to the queen for a long time.

She didn't know why. Overnight, there seemed to be some more resentments between the emperor and empress, which made her unable to understand, but since then, the life of the empress has changed. Now, being bullied by that lady, you should also carry the Queen's airs and can't be punished openly.

Today, Khan's attitude towards the empress has improved, which really makes her happy. Xiaoyuanzi standing next to LAN Haotian winked at Zixi. She reacted and stood next to Fang Yan.

Looking at the light and incomparable dishes, LAN Haotian couldn't help frowning: "are you going to eat so much today? Why don't you let the small kitchen make it for you? Or just let the imperial kitchen do it directly?"

The purple Xi on one side also looked at Fang Yan with the corner of her eyes. This is what she doesn't understand, but Fang Yan didn't say it just now, so she didn't ask much.

Fang Yan said with a faint smile, "it's hot. My concubine has no appetite."

So perfunctory, the fool can also hear something wrong, not to mention LAN Haotian, who has slept with her for several years?

"I don't like lying, you know." Lan Haotian's voice was low and his eyes were full of exploration.

Fang Yan just stretched out his hand to hold the food there. After a while, she said with a smile, "my concubine dare not lie. Khan is very thoughtful."

"In the same way, I don't want to repeat it again." Lan Hao said coldly.

Seeing that the bedding was almost done, Fang Yan didn't want to steal the chicken or erode the rice. He said: "my concubine is not in the palace for more than a month, and the expenses in the harem were only known a few days ago. Khan has been advocating frugality since he ascended the throne, and the harem should respond. But... In the harem, the expenses of each palace are different, so my concubine can only save some by herself..."

Listen, it's awkward. LAN Haotian doesn't know what she's talking about.

"Go and get the account details, let me see." since Fang Yan was in a hurry with him, he didn't know what to ask, so he directly asked Zixi to get the account book of the harem.

Looking through the accounts, I saw that the cost of Huaqing Palace was the highest in all palaces, and I couldn't help frowning.

When he put the account book aside, LAN Haotian said to Fang Yan, "I heard that there have been a lot of rumors in the palace recently."

Finally, it got to the point, and Zixi breathed a sigh of relief. If you are always tangled in the accounts, when will it start.

Fang Yan's reaction was faint: "what Khan heard, my concubine naturally heard, even worse than what Khan heard. My concubine didn't do anything to lose heart. I'm not afraid of the shadow. It's all nonsense. Don't listen."

"How can I do that? They are still chewing their tongue when you work for me. Didn't they wronged you?" Lan Haotian disagreed.

"The grievances that Khan can know are not grievances. Since they like to talk, why don't they talk?"

"I heard that this rumor began in Huaqing Palace? It's not peaceful in Shufei palace recently." Lan Haotian frowned and looked unhappy.

Fang Yan was still as indifferent as water: "if they talk too much, they will be tired. However... If such rumors go up, it may be bad for Khan."

After all, she is the queen. If the queen has any scandal, it will have a bad impact on LAN Haotian. He won't fail to understand this truth.

Against Khan, these five words knocked on LAN Haotian's heart: "just you know. So, Xiaoyuanzi."

"Block all the rumors, and if anyone dares to spread a word again, he will be killed with a stick." Lan Haotian ordered to die. He didn't know whether it was to protect Fang Yan or to keep the reputation of the royal family.

Xiaoyuanzi nodded to understand. LAN Haotian said again, "just now I see that the cost of Huaqing Palace is more than three times that of the Queen's palace. What is she doing?"

Reaching for the account book, Fang Yan just turned it over and didn't lift her head. "That's all right. Imperial concubine Shu serves the imperial concubine Khan. She pays attention to the food and clothing everywhere, but also to preserve the face of the harem. After all, there is such a stingy queen. If the imperial concubine is like this again, she's afraid of being criticized."

"Isn't she afraid of being criticized by others?" Lan Haotian raised his eyebrow: "her monthly silver doesn't seem to be that much."

"Imperial concubine Shu's mother's family doesn't have much subsidy, but Khan occasionally gives something to eunuchs to sell. People often do this in the palace. Eunuchs and maids often subsidize their families." this is not uncommon, and it's common in the palace.

LAN Haotian naturally knew that, so he kept one eye open and one eye closed, but he didn't think that one day he could make Shufei like this. Plus she spread such rumors

"Shufei... She is really arrogant." Lan Haotian whispered and ordered Xiaoyuanzi: "Xiaoyu six palaces, Shufei... Misbehavior, extravagance, spreading rumors, reduced to..." he paused and thought about his words. For a long time, he said again, "be reduced to a concubine."
