The morning sun shone sparsely through the window paper into the imperial study.
One by one, they sat quietly in front of the case, looking a little tired.
A figure and its strange way appeared in front of him.
"How?" Without looking at anyone, a low voice overflowed from Yiyi's thin lips.
"Report to the Emperor! Everything is arranged!"
"Very good!" A smile of satisfaction appeared on Yiyi's lips: "Everything is going according to plan!"
"I obey the decree!" As soon as the voice fell, the person disappeared into the imperial study room.
Yiyi closed his eyelids slightly and let his body weight rest on the chair: 'Niha! I want to see how capable you are...'
"Knock! Knock..." A knock on the door interrupted Yi Yi's thoughts.
"Come in!"
The young father-in-law pushed open the palace door and carefully stepped in front of them: "Your Majesty! The maid beside the Imperial Concubine wants to see you!"
One by one, he slowly opened his eyelids, and there was a flash of sharpness in his eyes, "Can you tell me why you came here?"
"Miss Zilan said that the imperial concubine has made preparations and is waiting in the palace to welcome the emperor!" The young father-in-law repeated what Zilan said truthfully.
"Yes!" One by one responded perfunctorily: "I understand, you go down first!"
"My slave obeys the order!" The young father-in-law did not dare to say more and slowly exited the imperial study.
"Father! How are you doing?" Seeing her little father-in-law coming out, Zi Lan hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Miss Zilan! I have informed the emperor of your intention to come. I believe that the emperor will go to the imperial concubine soon. You'd better go back and report first!" He has been following the emperor for several months, and the young father-in-law has a better understanding of the emperor.
Habit!
"Thank you, father-in-law!" Zilan took out a bag of broken silver from her sleeve and handed it to her little father-in-law.
"Absolutely not!" The young father-in-law hurriedly waved his hands and politely declined: "The slave can serve the Imperial Concubine. It is because I have been lucky all my life. How can I dare to accept the Imperial Concubine's money?"
"You misunderstood!" Zilan explained with a smile: "Today is the emperor's birthday. You have worked so hard in serving the emperor. This is a reward specially given to you by my mother-in-law. You can accept it with peace of mind!"
"This..." The little father-in-law looked embarrassed and still refused to take the silver coins from Zilan's hand.
"What?" Zilan's face darkened slightly: "Father-in-law, are you looking down on my mother-in-law?"
"I don't dare!" The young father-in-law looked flustered for a moment. He didn't dare to take on such a big crime. He hurriedly took the silver coins from Zilan's hand and said, "Thank you very much for your kindness, the imperial concubine. I would rather obey my orders than you are respectful!"
"If the father-in-law had accepted it earlier, I wouldn't have had to say such harsh words!" Seeing the young father-in-law accept it, the smile returned to Zilan's cheeks: "I have to go to serve the empress, and I will say goodbye to my father-in-law here!"
"Miss Zilan, walk slowly!"
Zilan nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards her bedroom.
As Zilan left, the little father-in-law lowered his eyes and stared at the extremely hot silver in his hand. Finally, he sighed silently and silently put the silver into his arms.
"Where is the Emperor?" Ziyi sat at the table, looking at Zilan who stepped in through the door.
Zilan walked quickly to Ziyi and said respectfully: "Report to the empress! My father-in-law asked the slave to go back first, saying that the emperor will be here in a minute!"
"Yes!" Ziyi responded, picked up the teacup at hand, put it to his lips and sipped it gently; by the way, he warned: "Use this time to check the inside and outside of the palace again, and don't leave any clues!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Time passed by minute by minute, and it was not until Chen hour that everything came late.
"Ziyi respectfully welcomes the Emperor!"
"Forgive me!" One by one, he stretched out his hand and helped Ziyi up. Suddenly his eyes lit up.
She usually doesn't like luxury, and she always wears plain clothes and has a pale face, but today she changed from the norm; she wore a golden palace dress with dark patterns of rusty butterflies on the floor, holding a blue-green peony mist gauze in her arms; her hair was tied with black silk
The butterfly tassel is slightly raised, and the butterfly carved from a night pearl on her forehead emits a faint light. Her eyebrows are lightly swept, but it still cannot conceal her stunning appearance. Suddenly, she seems like a fairy who has strayed into the mortal world; beautiful but yet beautiful.
A bit unreal!
"Today is so beautiful!" She stroked her eyebrows with her fingertips and praised her with emotion.
Zilan snickered from one side: "The emperor doesn't know something; this slave has been dressing up for the empress since Yin Shi!"
"Talk too much!" Ziyi's face turned slightly red and she scolded in a sweet voice.
Zi Lan playfully stuck out the tip of her tongue, then obediently stepped aside.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Ai Lian caressed Ziyi's dark hair.
Ziyi smiled softly: "Today is the emperor's birthday banquet, how can Ziyi lose the emperor's face!"
"I don't care about these insubstantial things..." The movement of his hand did not stop: "...Don't let yourself be too tired in the future!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! Ziyi will take note of it!" He responded softly, his body weak and boneless, and he snuggled into Yiyi's arms.
The moment he stepped into the dormitory, he could smell the special smell that should not belong here. At the same time as he hugged Ziyi, his eyes quickly looked around the dormitory.
Lying in Yiyi's arms, Ziyi felt his strong heartbeat.
Today, everything will come to an end!
No matter what the outcome is, we will never get along again!
He raised his head slightly and looked at the outline of Yi Yi's face: 'Let Ziyi feel your warmth for the last time; from now on, either you die or I die...'
The young father-in-law appeared silently outside the bedroom and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty! All the ministers have arrived. Do you want to go over with the Imperial Concubine now?" After saying this, he lowered his eyes and waited quietly for the replies.
One by one, it was as if they had not heard anything, and there was no response for a long time.
"Your Majesty..." the little father-in-law called timidly, wondering why the Emperor ignored him for so long.
"..." His response was still silence.
Ziyi frowned slightly and gently left Yiyi's embrace: "Your Majesty! What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing!" They looked away one by one, with a soft smile on their lips.
"My father-in-law is here to report. All the ministers have arrived and ask us if we want to go now?" Ziyi said softly, repeating what the young father-in-law said.
Looking back one by one, he said in a deep voice: "Go and greet the ministers first. I will be there soon!"
"My slave obeys the order!" the young father-in-law responded, and then hurried away.
Ziyi was slightly confused, wondering what the emperor was waiting for?
Zilan raised her head and secretly looked at them one by one; she vaguely felt that he seemed to have noticed something!
Feeling Zilan's gaze, Ziyi understood and said: "Your Majesty! It's not good to keep the ministers waiting for a long time. Let's go there earlier!"
"Well!" He realized that there was no more people in the dormitory; Yiyi knew in his heart that the people who should leave had already left before he came: "The time has come, let's go!"
"Yes!" Ziyi gently held her arms and stepped out of the dormitory.
At the moment of leaving, one by one looked back with ulterior motives.
'Niha! You are really not an ordinary brave person...'
