Chapter 196 Ye Lanyi Enters the Palace

The emperor saw Ye Lanyi standing in front of the horse from a distance, seemingly communicating gently with the horse, so he raised his hand to leave Su Peisheng where he was and walked over.

Prince Dun did not plot rebellion, Nian Gengyao did not have any rebellious intentions... Zhen Huan was docile, Concubine Xi was obedient... The former dynasty and the harem had changed as he wished.

Moreover, Hongzhao was born with a prosperous father and has been close to me since I was a child.

The emperor was very satisfied with the development of his destiny.

Naturally, he had no fear of Ye, the lowly horse trainer of Baijun Garden and his destined lover. Instead, he felt a desire to possess what was rightfully his.

The horse neighed, and he watched the horse struggle, then knelt down meekly. Thinking that she should have finished her "communication", he coughed.

Ye Lanyi turned around when she heard the voice. She thought it was the manager of Baijun Garden, but it turned out to be a strange man.

When she was introduced to the emperor yesterday, she bowed to him but she had no interest in him and therefore did not raise her head.

So I have never seen the emperor's face.

But she immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health."

How can this tone of voice convey the wish for the emperor's long life and good health?

It was obvious that the emperor owed her ten thousand taels of gold and silver plus eighteen bells.

The emperor was amused by the novelty of the question and asked, "How do you know I'm the emperor?"

Ye Lanyi was 28 years old and stayed in the Old Summer Palace all day long. She was indeed ignorant, but she was not stupid.

There are not many princes in the harem who can show off their age.

Even fewer dare to walk around in bright yellow uniforms.

If he is not the emperor, could he be a eunuch?

Ye Lanyi said in her unique voice, "I am stupid and dull, my ears are not deaf and my eyes are not blind."

The emperor thought that his noble character could not be hidden, and said with a smile: "You are very interesting."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will leave now."

Having said that, Ye Lanyi stood up and was about to leave.

"you……"

The emperor raised the jade Buddhist beads in his hand towards the horse and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

Ye Lanyi had no choice but to squat down again and said coldly:

"This beast doesn't know what is good and what is bad. I am trying to teach it some manners."

"Teach it the rules?"

The emperor took a step forward and saw that this was the horse that had gone crazy and carried the princess around the stables yesterday. It seemed to be motionless. "How did you teach it to behave?"

Ye Lanyi raised her eyelids, "I will ask it to be more careful in the next life and never hurt you again."

emperor:"……"

The strong and pungent smell of blood slowly rushed into the emperor's nostrils.

The ground, which had not yet turned green, was gurgling with hot blood.

She killed the horse.

The emperor frowned slightly: He looks young, but his hands are so ruthless.

Ye Lanyi looked the emperor in the face fearlessly, raising her eyebrows slightly, "Is Your Majesty afraid?"

"It's just an ignorant beast. Why should I be afraid of it?"

The emperor coughed and made small talk, "You don't seem to like to laugh?"

If it were someone else, this would be considered disrespectful.

Ye Lanyi still went her own way, "I was born with a cold face and I don't like to smile."

The spring breeze was still too cold. The emperor was bored and said:

"The princess' birthday is in two days. You must train well and don't make mistakes like yesterday."

"I will obey the emperor's instructions."

The emperor left, and Ye Lanyi slowly stood up, staring coldly at the emperor's back.

Yesterday, the palace maid who introduced me to the emperor suddenly became very attentive. Upon asking, I learned that she said that she was lucky and that the emperor liked her. She also said that eunuch Su had asked about her and that in a few days she would be able to enter the palace and become a lady to serve the emperor.

Humph, whoever wants this blessing can have it.

She didn't want to serve him!

Ye Lanyi rolled her eyes, her face full of disgust.

"Master, Father!!!"

Hearing the voice, the gloom on Ye Lanyi's face disappeared and she immediately smiled widely. As she turned around, Xi Chao rushed over.

She bent down and held the little princess in her arms.

"Princess, why did you come here? The ground is muddy. Aren't you afraid of getting your shoes dirty?"

Ye Lanyi was afraid that the corpse would pollute the princess' eyes, so she carried her away.

"My little red horse can't run. It always walks slowly. It drives me crazy. I want a horse that can run."

"The little red horse makes the princess anxious. Does the princess want a faster horse?"

"Yes! It has to run as fast as my mother's and my master's horses!"

"Then I will pick a beautiful, obedient, and fast horse for the princess, okay?"

Xi Chao clapped his hands, "Good!"

"It's just that... a fast horse needs training, and training is a long process." Ye Lanyi's eyes flashed with cunning, "The princess has only lived in the Old Summer Palace for a short period of time, I'm afraid she won't be able to learn it."

Xi Chao's eyebrows drooped, "What should we do?"

"How about...Princess, can you talk to the Queen and let me go to the palace with her? Not only can I ride a horse, I can also shoot arrows on horseback..."

Ye Lanyi talked in all kinds of ways, and Xi Chao's eyes widened as he listened.

The birthday banquet for the prince and princess was held at Jiuzhou Qingyan, with concubines from the harem, royal relatives and their families sitting opposite each other.

The Empress and the Imperial Consort sat on either side of the Emperor. Hong Zhao sat at the same table with the Empress, and Xi Chao sat next to the Imperial Consort.

In addition to the birthday gift specially prepared for Hong Zhao Xi Chao, the emperor also gave Hong Zhao a string of goose yellow rosary in public.

The things are secondary, the goose yellow is a symbol of status.

The hearts of the relatives sitting beside her were as clear as a mirror, and the empress was happy.

Prince Guo and Fu Jin Yujing stood up and toasted.

[This is really a mistake that leads to a complete loss. The emperor has such a big green hat, and he just wants to take it off like this? It's really a pity. ]

The emperor was relieved to see the harmonious relationship between the couple: Shilan's rebirth was indeed for him.

It’s better to dismantle it.

"Old Seventeen used to skip every banquet, but now that Fu Jin is in charge, he no longer skips banquets or arrives late, and he has become more well-behaved."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Prince Guo was a little embarrassed, "My Royal Highness, you are making fun of me."

"You grew up under the Queen Mother's watch. She always wanted you to get married and have children. Now that you're married, when will you be able to have a child? Ah?"

The emperor laughed heartily. He finished his drink, held the wine glass, and said with a sense of pride that others could not understand, "If we can also have twins, it will be a great joy."

"The blessing of dragon and phoenix can only be enjoyed by my royal brother. How dare I ask for it? The Qing Dynasty has my royal brother, and the country is peaceful and the people are safe. I only hope that I can grow old with Yu Jing in this life, and the rest can be left to fate."

Prince Guo held Yu Jing in one hand and said, "Fireworks are blooming in Yangzhou in March. I want to take Yu Jing with me to travel to Jiangnan after some time. I hope that my brother will agree to this."

The emperor is suspicious, and the capital is ultimately a place of trouble, so it is better to stay away from it.

Riding horses in the world of red dust, being a carefree couple.

"We Manchus conquered the world by riding and shooting. You are a great prince. It's fine if you don't do your job properly before marriage. But after marriage, how can you bring Fu Jin to make trouble? "

Prince Dun couldn't bear to see this scene of brotherly love and respect, and couldn't help but sneer and whisper, "You keep banging on those stinky Mozi poems and calling yourself a refined and elegant person, it's just because your biological mother is Han Chinese, so you have a Han Chinese accent."

[You are so argumentative. If the prince has wronged you, he should arrange for you to go to the mine, the dock, or the imperial mausoleum! ]

The emperor frowned, also dissatisfied with what Prince Dun said, but before he could open his mouth, Nian Shilan interrupted and said, "So what if he is a Han Chinese?"

Prince Dun thought to himself, "Oh no! I forgot about the Imperial Concubine."

"What the emperor needs to govern the country is a combination of civil and military talents. Whether they are Manchus or Han, as long as they can serve the court and share the emperor's worries, they are all good ministers of the emperor."

Nian Shilan looked at Prince Dun and put the wine glass on the table. "Prince Dun, if you feel that today's wine is not to your liking, it's okay to drink less."

Even if Prince Dun didn't want to give face to the emperor, he still had to give Nian Gengyao some face. He nodded and smiled apologetically:

"Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine is right."

The emperor had to consider the overall situation and could not say many things. The royal concubine's words quite pleased him.

The Queen picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, her eyes casually sweeping over Prince Dun.

Straw bag.

He was ready to act in the past two years. He heard that it was suspected that the Fourteenth Prince was the emperor himself, but there was no evidence. Seeing that Nian Gengyao was loyal to the emperor, he did not dare to act rashly.

Who would have thought that in just two years, he would start to become restless again.

That's a good thing.

"Drinking is harmful to the body. The Queen Mother has always been in poor health, so she should drink less."

The little boy Hongzhao personally served the empress a bowl of soup and presented it to her with both hands.

The queen immediately put down her wine glass and lowered her eyes with joy:

Emperor Shizu ascended the throne at the age of six, and Emperor Shengzu ascended the throne at the age of eight. Zhao'er was far more intelligent than his ancestors and was obviously capable of taking on important responsibilities.

The emperor's health is deteriorating, and all the princes, especially those who competed with the emperor for the throne in the past, must be eliminated within the next two years.

It’s best not to leave any.

After the banquet, the emperor led his people to the Hundred Beasts Park to watch the show.

The performance started with acrobatics, including flying balls, swallowing knives, breathing fire, and dancing with a disc... Then it was time for the various areas of the Zoo to compete.

From common cats and dogs to large elephants from Siam, even tigers can understand human commands and stand up, sit up, or lie down.

The Bird Park presented the little princess with a cockatiel, which had a yellow crest on its head and a pair of pink cheeks on its sides.

The trained little one will sway to the sound of the flute, and if you say "little princess" to it, it will answer: "How beautiful."

Xi Chao liked it very much and reached out to take it. The little guy then stood on her shoulder and cuddled up to her, being very well-behaved.

All the other children at the table were envious.

The highlight is the performance at Baijun Garden.

The sound of horse hooves could be heard, and the cavalry was approaching from afar.

Ye Lanyi came with flowers in her hair. They were all galloping on their horses, stepping on the golden saddles, leaning on the jade stirrups, some standing, some lying, some riding above the horses, and some lying upside down.

These things have existed in the past and are not new.

This year they carried arrows behind them and rode on fine horses at full speed. The person in the front drew his bow and shot arrows, and rode his horse to hit the coin.

In the sunlight, with every strike, a coin flew up to a height of sixty to seventy feet, and all the spectators cheered.

That’s not all.

The horses galloped past, and in the center of the platform, the palace servants came on stage with sharp swords in their hands, and set up a sword barrier amid the doubts of the spectators.

After a moment, Ye Lanyi rode back alone to the place where the horses disappeared and rushed straight towards the sharp blade barrier.

Everyone couldn't help but worry for her. Xi Chao stood up, clenched his fists tightly, and wanted to call her "Master", but was afraid of disturbing her.

Ye Lan turned his head and glanced at the golden imperial concubine on the stage from a distance, then rode his horse across the mountain of swords.

There were screams everywhere and the children were very excited.

The emperor was delighted and waved his hand, "Reward!"

[I only knew she was an excellent horse trainer before, but I didn't expect her to be so amazing.]

[As expected, the harem still buried her. 】

Ye Lanyi stepped forward to thank him, "I am offering my humble service to celebrate the birthdays of the prince and princess, in order to win a smile from the emperor and the ladies."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xi Chao.

Xi Chao understood what he meant and immediately moved in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty~" Her voice was particularly sweet as she begged, "Lan Yi is so amazing, it would be tacky to reward her with only gold, silver and jewelry, why not reward her with something else?"

The emperor touched his daughter's head and asked, "What do you think should be rewarded?"

"Huama asked Batulu, the best archer in Manchuria, to teach his brother archery. Xichao is Huaama's daughter and the little princess of Manchuria. If she can't show her archery skills, it will be a disgrace to Huaama."

[You're worrying too much, little guy. You've already lost face.]

[Don't be fooled by his age, he is not as capable as you are now. ]

The emperor coughed. "So you want her to teach you?"

"It is a great honor to teach this princess~" Xi Chao said happily, shaking his head, "Huama agreed, right? In the future, Lanyi will be my riding master. She can come back to the palace with me and teach me every day, right?"

"Isn't that right?"

The queen couldn't help but frown when she heard the sweet voice: This child is really the biological son of the imperial concubine.

Nian Shilan waved to his daughter, "Xi Chao, come here, mother."

[The one kneeling below is the future Concubine Ning. You will have to call her Concubine Ning in the future. ]

Concubine Ning?

Concubine Jing couldn't help but take a few more glances: He looked so fierce and scary.

The emperor recalled the day when Ye Lanyi fell from his horse with a sword, but it had nothing to do with the word "Ning".

[I have been eyeing you for a few days. If it weren't for your face, I couldn't directly issue the decree to seal your name. I'm afraid you would have been put on the dragon bed and accepted your favor several times. Why would you risk your life today to perform this unique skill of riding a horse and piercing a sword? ]

He makes himself sound like a sex-hungry ghost.

The emperor rolled his eyes in his heart: How could I be so hungry that I would not be picky about food?

[In the previous life, I was favored by someone and sealed with a seal. 】

emperor:"……"

"Your Royal Father has his own ideas." said Nian Shilan.

Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang had already leaned on the teacups in front of them, ready to offer tea instead of wine to congratulate, but the emperor unexpectedly said:

"You are lucky that the princess likes you! You must teach her well in the future and don't let her down."

Ye Lan got what she wanted and kowtowed to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace, and thank you, Princess, for your grace."

【Hmm? What's going on? 】

[You are just going to give up on the destined concubine Ning? 】

Let's just say rebirth is useless.

The emperor looked at Nian Shilan with pride in his eyes: How could you guess my thoughts so easily?

After the performance, everyone dispersed and the emperor took the Seventeenth Prince to play chess.

It was a rare opportunity for Zhen Huan to see Yu Jing, so she took her to Bitong Academy for tea and also invited Concubine Jing, Shen Meizhuang and An Lingrong.

An Lingrong turned around and saw Ye Lanyi happily walking towards the Royal Concubine.

Ye Lanyi looked at Nian Shilan with sparkling eyes and said in a clear voice, "Royal Consort."

Nian Shilan couldn't help but sigh, "Why bother?"

Ye Lanyi smiled innocently and sweetly, "I will definitely protect the princess well in the future."

[Forget it. She has no father or mother, no relatives or friends, and has no connection with Prince Guo in this life. It seems that she really has nowhere else to go.]

Jianqiu told the empress about Ye Lanyi's killing of the horse, "The emperor happened to be there in disguise that day."

It turns out that it wasn't that he didn't like it, but that he was afraid that there was a knife lying next to his pillow.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the queen's eyes: Knife?

Could this be the dragon-slaying hero that Se-ran mentioned before?

If this is true, it would be a good thing for her to enter the palace.

If there were any omissions in her plan, given her personality, she might actually draw her sword for the princess.

clean and neat.

"It's the birthday of the prince and the princess. There will be performances on stage for three consecutive days. We will go there tomorrow. Are you ready?"

As the Queen was asking Jianqiu, Zhou Ninghai limped over to Nian Shilan and whispered something to her, but she immediately stopped smiling.

Something happened?

The Queen looked at the palace maid who had just spoken to Zhou Ninghai and said, "That is..."

Jianqiu's eyes were sharp, "It seems that they were sent to serve "Danbo Ningjing". "
