Yan Yunyi had a slightly sullen look on his face, stood up and left with a puff of sleeves.
How could Yan Yunyi not understand what Yan Yuhuan said, but Yan Yuhuan also understood that it was too difficult for Yan Yunyi to bow her head at this moment.
In the afternoon, Chuntao came to report that Xi Yaoze had been making trouble for several days, and that he had learned hundreds of surnames by heart and wanted to meet Yan Yuhuan.
"That's all." Yan Yuhuan leaned on the small table and stuffed the peeled orange into her mouth. The sweet juice soaked her tongue. Yan Yuhuan's originally depressed mood improved a lot. She waved her hand and said, "Bring him to the hospital." Bring all the families together to see me."
Not long after, Xi Yaoze knelt on the ground holding a hundred people with the correct surname, and saluted very respectfully.
"The princess is fine."
Yan Yuhuan looked at the person in front of him who seemed to have been reborn. He calculated that it would only last four or five days, so he had to work hard.
"I heard that you know hundreds of surnames by heart?"
Xi Yaoze nodded slightly and raised the surnames above his head: "The princess can choose a page at will."
Chuntao stepped forward and took the surname from the Baijia family and handed it to Yan Yuhuan. Yan Yuhuan laughed happily and said, "That's not necessary. Now that you are well behaved and polite, I know that you have put in a lot of effort in the past few days."
Xi Yaoze was overjoyed when he heard this. He almost showed his fox tail again. He knelt down quickly and said with a smile: "Can that slave continue to serve the princess?"
Yan Yuhuan felt clear in her heart. Now was not the time to dismiss her male favorite. Yan Yunyi had ignored her in the past few days, and she was probably angry.
Yan Yuhuan rubbed his forehead and said tiredly, "For some reason, my forehead is throbbing. It hurts so much that I can't sleep."
Xi Yaoze always knew how to look at his eyes, and he was secretly happy that this was a good opportunity. He pretended to be anxious and worried: "I know some massage techniques, why don't I let you massage the princess?"
Masters all like slaves with winks, and Yan Yuhuan is no exception. As he enjoys it with his eyes closed, he begins to plan in his mind how to revitalize this stagnant water.
In the spring, when the flowers were in full bloom, Yan Yunyi sat under the Jingchu Pavilion, facing the water of Jingchu Pool, and fell into a trance for a long time.
Hui Niang offered a cup of tea at the side and said with a smile: "Madam, please have a sip of tea."
Yan Yunyi was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Huiniang and asked, "Huiniang, am I... pushing him too hard?"
Huiniang has followed Yan Yunyi for many years, and she knows who this 'him' is without asking.
"Madam, it breaks my heart that your original wife was forced to give up and become a concubine..."
Huiniang has been serving Yan Yunyi since she was a child, and she grew up with Yan Yunyi. From the General's Mansion to the East Palace, and then to leaving that sad place, she has witnessed Yan Yunyi's pain and heartbreak along the way. No one feels more sorry for Yan Yunyi than she does. Even if this matter goes to hell, she will never say half a good word about Li Zheng.
Yan Yunyi put her arms on the stone railing, looked at the red carp in Jingchu Pond melancholy, and said: "These days, I often think about the past. Maybe Huan'er is right, relying on Li Zheng's guilt, isn't it? I gave Li Zheng a chance to make amends. If I really want to punish Li Zheng, I should never see him again..."
Huiniang was startled and asked: "Madam...you mean, you don't want to punish him?"
Yan Yunyi smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, I have never doubted his love for me. I have always understood that he loves me, and I also understand his helplessness, his difficulties, his great cause, and I also understand that he must marry the Sheng family. Only by being a woman can I secure the throne, but I was too young at that time. Even if I understand this, I still have trouble getting over the hurdle in my heart."
It's just that now, if you can't get through it, you have to get over it.
Huiniang understands better than anyone else that Yan Yunyi has always been in love with Li Zheng for decades, and she loves Li Zheng deeply and hates her deeply. Otherwise, she would not be able to forget those past events until now.
"My mother entered the palace?" After hearing Chuntao's report, Yan Yuhuan immediately became energetic. She sat up and crossed her legs on the couch and asked, "What was my mother wearing when she entered the palace? What was she wearing?"
Chuntao thought about it for a while and said: "It was the phoenix crown and phoenix robe that His Majesty ordered to be sent to him one year after the Queen passed away. He wanted to welcome His Majesty as his successor. At that time, His Majesty hated His Majesty and refused to agree, so His Majesty then I must leave this phoenix crown and phoenix robe in the Yan Mansion, waiting for Madam to change her mind."
Yan Yuhuan raised an eyebrow: "Is this an agreement?"
Then he felt something was wrong and shook his head: "No, no, my mother is not a paper tiger. She has been cold for so many years. How could she give in and go back to be the queen just because of this? Could it be..."
Chuntao tilted her head in confusion, and Yan Yuhuan slapped her leg suddenly, startling Chuntao.
"I see!"
Chuntao was still in shock, but she didn't forget to compliment her: "How do you say that?"
Sometimes Yan Yuhuan really loves Chuntao so much that even if she falls to the ground, she won't let her words fall to the ground.
Yan Yu raised her lips happily and said: "My mother is going to the palace to apply eye drops to the emperor. She wants the emperor to remember that she has not agreed to go back to be the queen. The emperor has nothing to do with my mother. Seeing the queen's body I won’t be happy until I obey, and it will be easy to get this permission document by then.”
Chuntao nodded in understanding, but Yan Yuhuan felt a big stone in his heart. The salt village returned to normal, and the tenants had a way out. This was more meaningful than how much money they made, not to mention that the salt village's business was the most important. Profitable, this amounts to the best of both worlds.
After the problem of the salt village is solved, it is time to clear up the internal problems in Yan's house. If nepotism continues, capable people will not be able to earn a living. Yan Yuhuan is not opposed to nepotism, but it must be done with real talent and hard work.
In the evening, Yan Yunyi came back from the palace. Yan Yuhuan held a plate of cakes and approached Yan Yunyi flatteringly.
"Mother~~~"
Yan Yunyi was taking off her phoenix crown and hairpin, without even glancing at Yan Yuhuan, and her tone was cold.
"Now that it suits you, what else are you doing?"
Yan Yu smiled happily and said: "Oh, my dear mother, you have a lot. My daughter spoke a little harshly before, which made my mother feel unhappy. Isn't my daughter here to apologize to my mother?"
Yan Yunyi took off her earrings and snorted coldly: "You came to cheer me up just before you saw the Salt Village permit document in hand, right?"
Yan Yuhuan has always been thick-skinned, and even if he is seen through, he can remain calm.
"Mom, although the words my daughter said are a bit rough, the reasoning is not rough."
Hearing this, Yan Yunyi turned around and gave Yan Yuhuan a look: "Are you here to apologize today, or are you here to piss me off?"
"Apologise!" Yan Yuhuan replied quickly, smiling with his eyes curled up, and his voice softened by eight degrees: "Of course I'm sorry."
