In the afternoon, Du Qisheng came to see the emperor and brought Du Keyong with him.
Gu Jiuxing handled this kind of favor very smoothly, so Tang Shiyue was able to have a perfect "chance encounter" and enjoy Du Kerong's angry expression that he dared not express.
But if I'm not mistaken, he still has a hint of pride? The kind of pride that says "You won't be so arrogant for long."
She felt that this guy was definitely going to do something bad.
Sure enough, not long after Du Qisheng entered, Emperor Ming Yan became furious, and his angry voice could be heard even outside: "You are unworthy of being a minister, your knowledge is not even as good as that of a young lady!" "You put your personal desires above the foundation of the country!" "I never do this for the name of a benevolent monarch, I do this for the people in this border area!"
Tang Shiyue was picking flower petals in the corridor. After listening to a few words, she knew immediately that this person had probably reported her for doing business with Cao Yuan or something.
After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the border, and it was impossible for him not to know about this matter. Fortunately, she had discussed this matter with Emperor Ming Yan before, and fortunately, Emperor Ming Yan had the same idea as her.
Otherwise she's going to be in big trouble, tut tut!
At this moment, someone came over with big strides, followed by several personal soldiers.
Tang Shiyue took a quick glance and felt that this person had a cold face and an imposing aura. She had never seen him before, but for some reason she felt a sense of familiarity.
...
...
The eunuch who was helping her said, "This is Commander Yan." He lowered his voice and said, "The father of Yan Liangchou and Yan Tingyue!"
ah?
Tang Shiyue immediately felt that this man was disliked from head to toe. How could a father who raised his daughter to be like this be a good person?
Yan Chengyuan, who hurried over, learned that Emperor Ming Yan was meeting Du Qisheng, so naturally someone introduced him in his ear: "That's Lady Enfu."
He strode over here, and Tang Shiyue had no choice but to stand up. When the two met, the cold-faced Commander Yan's expression changed, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Yue'er, you are not dead?"
Tang Shiyue's face darkened at that moment, and he withdrew the half-offering gift. He said coldly, "Commander Yan, I'm really sorry that I didn't let your daughter kill me obediently."
She didn't even bother to politely say anything, and just turned and left.
The people around looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.
Yan Chengyuan moved his lips, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back.
After Du Qisheng came out, Yan Chengyuan went in. The king and his minister talked for more than two hours. It was long past mealtime, but the meal was not served. Gu Jiuxing went in twice and was scolded out. He came to find Tang Shiyue with a bitter face.
Of course Tang Shiyue knew that this old guy was pretending.
This kind of eunuch in front of the emperor is probably more cunning than pores. He is asking her to take the blame. Anyway, even if she is scolded and hated, it will not affect him.
But Emperor Ming Yan hadn't eaten properly for several days, and she was a little anxious. She had originally thought that she must stay there to eat with him at night, but Yan Chengyuan came again. She hadn't eaten yet!
Tang Shiyue called Wei Xin: "Have you prepared the silk doll I mentioned this morning?"
Wei Xin said, "It's already ready. Master, shall we go now?"
"Wait a moment," Tang Shiyue said, "Manager Gu, let's go and see the emperor first."
Gu Jiuxing went in to report. She stood at the door for a while and then Emperor Ming Yan called her in. Yan Chengyuan was kneeling below. Tang Shiyue walked in with a smile and personally handed Emperor Ming Yan a handkerchief to wash his hands.
Emperor Mingyan still looked a little depressed, but he asked her: "Why don't you eat? Don't you want to grow taller?"
Tang Shiyue said: "I asked them to prepare something fun, and I want to eat it with the emperor."
Emperor Ming Yan then raised his hand to signal for the meal to be served.
Gu Jiuxing breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out. Emperor Ming Yan then asked, "What is it?"
Tang Shiyue said: "It's called a silk doll, or a vegetable quilt."
This dish is very time-consuming to prepare. Just cut all kinds of fresh vegetables, egg skins, ham and the like into shreds, and fry, boil or blanch them. Then spread it on the rice skin and eat it. You can also dip it in sauce. It is very refreshing to eat in summer.
It’s just that this kind of hand-rolled food would never appear on the emperor’s table under normal circumstances.
The imperial chef was worthy of being an imperial chef. When the dishes came, they were several levels higher than she had imagined. There were more of them, they were beautiful, and they were well prepared.
Tang Shiyue felt hungry as soon as she saw it, and looked at Emperor Ming Yan with bright eyes: "Your Majesty!"
"Sit down," Emperor Ming Yan sighed, and then said, "Get up, pack up and eat with me."
Yan Chengyuan thanked him in a deep voice. A young eunuch had already taken him to wash his hands and change his clothes. When Yan Chengyuan came in again, the two had already started eating. Tang Shiyue rolled up the roll for Emperor Ming Yan herself and kept saying, "This is super delicious! Wow, Your Majesty, this is super delicious too!"
The admiration in his eyes was very obvious.
Yan Chengyuan thanked him and sat down. Naturally, a eunuch came forward to serve him. The table seemed to be divided into two parts. On one side was the loving father and filial son, and on the other side was...
Wait! Kind father and filial son? Yan Chengyuan's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at her carefully again.
Tang Shiyue noticed it, turned around, and rolled her eyes at him without any concealment.
Yan Chengyuan: "..."
Emperor Ming Yan pretended not to see it.
Encouraged by Tang Shiyue's delicious dishes, he actually worked up an appetite. While she was eating, she looked at him from time to time with bright eyes, as if seeking sympathy. Her liveliness made him feel better.
Especially when coupled with Yan Chengyuan's cold face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years but now had a complicated expression, it made him even more hungry.
After dinner and tea, Emperor Ming Yan asked, "Yuer, do you know who he is?"
Emperor Ming Yan always called her Enfu when there were people around, but now he called her Yue'er. Tang Shiyue nodded: "I know."
Yan Chengyuan looked at her for a long while before he said in a deep voice, "My daughter is rude, please... Madam, please don't blame me."
That's more than just outrageous! Tang Shiyue said calmly: "I dare not."
Yan Chengyuan looked to be in his forties, without a beard, and had a face that was said to be as tough as a knife and an axe, with dark eyebrows and eyelashes, and he looked handsome and cold.
If the incident between Yan Liangchou and Yan Tingyue had not happened before, she would have spoken to him nicely just based on his manly face.
But now... haha!
Tang Shiyue smirked and said, "Commander Yan, I heard someone tell a joke. Do you know what the most perfect revenge in the world is?"
Yan Chengyuan said in a deep voice: "I don't know."
Tang Shiyue said: "If you have a son and you don't teach him well, he will harm your whole family; if you have a daughter and you don't teach her well, she will harm someone else's family; so if you have a grudge against someone, spoil your daughter and marry her to his son. This is the most perfect revenge in the world."
She gave him a fake smile, "Congratulations Commander Yan, your daughter is ready. She only needs an enemy."
Yan Chengyuan was silent.
Emperor Mingyan sneered and supported her: "I think what Yue'er said makes sense."
Yan Chengyuan said slowly after a while: "I will teach her well."
Tang Shiyue said, "Excuse me, I can't teach you well."
He looked at her, and it seemed that he had difficulty speaking. After a long while, he said, "You go ahead."
Just say it! Do you think she doesn't dare?
Tang Shiyue said: "If she doesn't know right from wrong, she can be taught, but now, she sincerely thinks that she is superior and that everyone else except the Yan family is a pig or dog. The difference is that the pigs and dogs in Chang'an City have owners, so she will be cautious, but for those outside Chang'an City, she is unscrupulous and doesn't even need to find a reason when killing them."
She said word by word: "For a person like this, even if you hire ten thousand masters for her, the most you can do is teach her to hide her thoughts, but it's difficult to change her mind!"
