Chapter 217 Favor

Yunlan quickly wiped away her tears, squeezed her lips and smiled, "Let the Empress laugh. Although the maidservant's father has passed away, one of his apprentices inherited his manur over when he was alive. Why don't you let the maidservant handle this matter?

Mo Ziyao thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "That's good."

Yunlan gently put away the 'Fangxie Luozheng' and took it back to the room. When she came out, she happened to see Yuzhi bring tea in from the outside with an excited face.

Yuzhi didn't know what happy happened today. In the evening, she deliberately changed into a gorgeous dress, with a slightly ruddy face and joy on her eyebrows. She walked briskly and looked happy. After coming in, he saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere, so he carefully poured tea for Mo Ziyao and handed it over.

Yunlan glanced at her, frowned slightly, and said nothing, and Mo Ziyao found that Yuzhi was very different from usual today. She was dressed in pink brocade silk, and her collar was embedded with pure white rabbit hair as a foil, setting off her melon seed-shaped face. She was handsome and mischievous and beautiful. The head is finely decorated with emerald rice beads and burnt blue inlaid gold flowers, with a pair of red emerald bead earrings, just right to set off the delicate face. But if you take a closer look, you will find that it is a little inappropriate. The combination of red and green is the most tacky dress, but it seems that Yuzhi is not aware of this.

But Mo Ziyao deliberately skipped the reminder and said with a smile, "Your dress tonight is bright."

Yuzhi didn't know if she heard the meaning of Mo Ziyao's words. She didn't care at all. She raised her hand and gently stroked the bangs in front of her forehead, curled her lips and said, "Isn't it New Year's Eve today? The maidservant specially put on the brocade silk clothes given to the slave last year, in the intention of saying goodbye to welcome the new."

What a way to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, but I don't know how to say goodbye to the old and how to welcome the new.

Mo Ziyao didn't say anything. She lowered her eyes, reached out to pick up the teacup, and gently brushed the tea leaves that had not yet been brewed with the lid.

Yuzhi found that the atmosphere in the hall was very different from usual. She smiled and said, "It's really gratifying to hear that Yi Zhaorong died in Tairen Palace, but why is the Empress unhappy? In the view of the maidservant, Yi Zhaorong deserves it and deserves more than death..."

Mo Ziyao put the teacup in her hand on the table fiercely, cooled the color, twisted her eyebrows, and glanced at her coldly. Yuzhi was so scared that she quickly swallowed the rest of the words into her stomach, and her face suddenly changed.

"Hmm! It seems that I am too arrogant to you, but now I don't understand any rules!"

Yuzhi was shocked and turned pale. She quickly knelt down and begged for mercy in horror: "The Empress is angry, and I dare not dare anymore."

Although that's the case, she didn't know whether Yao Guifei was accuming her for wearing too eye-catching clothes today, or she was speculating in front of her master. However, no matter which one it is, it is taboo.

She was really a little scared by such a scolding. Maybe Mo Ziyao's Yu Wei in the past two years made her deeply afraid, and naturally she was a little afraid of her. But it may not take long to think that with the help of that person, I no longer have to look down on other people's faces. After so long, I will finally get to the end. At that time, no one will ever want to use her! Yuzhi unconsciously straightened her back, as if she suddenly had confidence. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Mo Ziyao without fear.

Mo Ziyao looked at her expression carefully and saw that her expression was changing. Later, she suddenly raised her head and looked at herself. He was slightly stunned, and then looked at her with a smile and said, "You were the smartest in the past. Why did you speak so boldly today? But you have to be careful and prudent, but don't lose your head because of your mouth that day!"

In fact, Yuzhi faintly regretted when she said that. After all, the big thing has not been achieved, and everything is still unknown. How can she be so reckless? Seeing that Mo Ziyao did not deliberately blame her, she felt a little relieved and respectfully said to Mo Ziyao, "What the Empress taught me is that I remember it."

"Say, what makes you so happy?"

"It was the Duke Jin who sent the letter and said that the emperor would stay in Yuyao Palace tonight." Yuzhi said slowly, but she was afraid that Mo Ziyao would reprimand her again.

However, Mo Ziyao did not scold her this time, but said slowly, "Since the emperor is coming later, go and change the pot of Biluochun. At the banquet tonight, I'm afraid it will disturb the emperor's mood, and you will wait carefully later.

"Yes, the maidservant is going." Yuzhi looked happy and quickly took the teapot on the table and retreated.

How could Mo Ziyao not know Yuzhi's thoughts, but she knows Ruan Lingzheng too well. According to his nature, she must not like Yuzhi. It's just that she didn't have such thoughts in the past. Why did she suddenly become bold recently? Who gave her courage?

Mo Ziyao's expression changed slightly and ordered Yunlan, "Go and send the pink clothes I sewn by myself to Mingling Palace, saying that it is to express her gratitude for standing up for the palace at tonight's banquet and asking her to put it on tonight. She will understand."

Yunlan looked at Mo Ziyao in astonishment, and soon realized it and smiled, "I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy with this."

Mo Ziyao glanced at her and said with a straight face, "If you let you go, you can go."

Yunlan lowered her head and smiled: "I'll just go."

When both of them went down, Mo Ziyao looked at the burning stove in the hall with a dark look. She suddenly remembered that she had been in the palace for two years. Life is really fast. In a blink of an eye, an unknown maid has become the favorite concubine beside the emperor, the supreme imperial concubine.

The flowing time passed from between my fingers. Although I gained the favor of the emperor, I also added countless sharp thoughts and grew like a sharp point in my heart. In the past, the yearning for peace and indisputable mood has long disappeared in this deep court courtyard. The rest is just endless scheming.

Thinking of this, Mo Ziyao sighed almost silently.

When Ruan Lingzheng came, Mo Ziyao was personally cooking some delicious dishes for him in the small kitchen. Yuzhi was left alone in the hall.

Ruan Lingzheng came in with a tired face and looked up, but did not find Mo Ziyao's figure. Only the maidservant Yuzhi waited at the table and hurriedly after seeing him.

Although her dress today is very eye-catching, he is physically and mentally exhausted and just wants to talk to Mo Ziyao at this moment, and it is difficult for the rest of the people to make him raise any interest.

There are already hundreds of charming concubines in his harem. He has not stopped looking too much on these women, let alone a small maidservant.

Withdrawing his eyes, he waved, "Get up, where's your master?"

Seeing that the emperor did not look at her more, Yuzhi was a little disappointed, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she hurriedly got a cup of tea for him, offered it with her hands, and replied in a clear voice, "The Empress is in the small kitchen. She will come out soon. It's cold outside. Why don't the emperor take a cup of tea to warm up first."

Ruan Lingzheng took a look and did not reach out to pick it up. He just smiled and said, "No, since she is in the small kitchen, I will go and find her." After saying that, go straight in the direction of the kitchenette.

"Ai, your Majesty..."

Yuzhi stamped her feet angrily, put down the tea, and quickly followed.

Mo Ziyao was cleaning up the table and preparing to put the food on the kitchen table. Hearing the sound of footsteps, she turned around and looked at Ruan Lingzheng who strode in and said, "As soon as my concubine has made these dishes, you are here."

While speaking, Ruan Lingzheng has come in and looked at five small dishes on the stove, including pickled roses, fried spring rolls, smoked radish, plum tofu, fried wolfberry sprouts with oil and salt, and two cans of soup. It's all light vegetarian food, but I ate too much greasy food at the banquet not long ago, and now I have an appetite for these vegetarian dishes.

He sucked his nose hard and smiled, "I just finished criticizing the memorial, and I'm also hungry. Sit down and let's eat together." With that, he didn't care about his identity as emperor and went straight forward to help bring the food to the table.

Yuzhi's eyes were sharp and quickly said, "How can you do this? Just leave it to the maidservant!" After saying that, Ruan Lingzheng rushed up to help. At this time, Ruan Lingzheng was turning around with a plate of dishes. Yuzhi did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Ruan Lingzheng suddenly hit his arm. Ruan Lingzheng was not stable, and a plate of plum tofu soup on his left hand splashed on the cuffs with tofu.

Yuzhi was shocked and knelt down with a white face and pleaded guilty: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die, please punish me!"

Ruan Lingzheng frowned slightly and looked at his dirty sleeves and was a little unhappy. Fortunately, he was not in a bad mood today. He just said indifferently, "Okay, get up. I'll forgive you this time. Don't be so reckless next time."

Mo Ziyao saw this scene and looked at Yuzhi blankly without scolding her. Instead, she went forward to take the two dishes in Ruan Lingzheng's hand and put them on the table. Just turn around, Yuzhi has been busy running to get a basin of clean water, soaking the veil, and running over to carefully wipe Ruan Lingzheng.

I hadn't noticed before. At this time, Yuzhi ran over from a distance and brought a gust of wind. The wind was mixed with a faint smell of britaining fragrance. Mo Ziyao frowned. Today, she was enough to endure Yuzhi and smashed the dishes in Ruan Lingzheng's hand. She dared to use such a trick. I really didn't know that she was innocent. Shame on you. I don't know what will happen next!

She stared at Yuzhi and said slowly, "Where has your old cleverness gone?"

Yuzhi's hand trembled, bowed her head and stood aside, raising her head slightly, showing an extremely aggrieved look. Tears rolled around her eyes, but they didn't fall down. It's really pitiful for me! She took a look at Ruan Lingzheng, then looked at Mo Ziyao, and said, "Mother..."

"If you don't go any further, do you have to disturb the emperor's interest to be satisfied?"

Mo Ziyao was not angry, but said slowly with calm eyes.

Yuzhi bit her lip and said 'yes'. She held her hands tightly in her sleeves, but her heart began to resent Mo Ziyao. Although Mo Ziyao did not scold her from beginning to end, it was very appropriate to interrupt her plan. How can she not hate it!

It was not easy to have such a chance to get close to the emperor. How could she retreat obediently because of Mo Ziyao's scolding?

She won't. She believes that only by fighting for it will there be a chance! What's more, didn't Noble Concubine Yao not dare to scold coldly?

Thinking of this, Yuzhi's courage gradually increased. She thought that Yao's forgiveness and kindness tonight gave her an excellent opportunity to get close to the emperor and spoil him!

As long as you can hold it, the dark days of suffering will be far away from her, and the glorious and bright days will not be far away!

So she gently wiped her tears, turned around and was ready to leave, but at this moment, her eyes suddenly turned over and her body softened, and she was about to faint. She is right in front of Ruan Lingzheng, and Ruan Lingzheng will naturally reach out to help her. However, she forgot that Mo Ziyao was also by her side and was also very close to her.

Yuzhi closed her eyes and fell into a warm arms, which was no error with her conjecture. What an exciting moment. She actually lay in the emperor's arms. Maybe in this harem, she is the only woman who can lie in the emperor's arms except the concubine. She thought proudly, unconsciously raised a smile at the corners of her mouth, trembling her eyelashes and slowly opened her eyes...
