It was a nice birthday party, but something weird happened. If even Yan Fu agreed with Empress Dowager Xue, Hua Yunya would not be able to afford her ten heads.
Qiao Yu, who was splashed wet, did not look embarrassed. Instead, she looked a bit pitiful, like a withered flower swaying in the wind. Perhaps it was because her watery almond eyes looked at Yan Fu so tenderly.
Yan Fu suppressed the inexplicable irritation in his heart:
"Forget it, maybe Lady Qiu accidentally slipped her hand, it's not Jin Liangyuan's fault, continue playing the music."
"emperor!"
Qiu Zicheng looked at Yan Fu unwillingly, then at Qiao Yu. It was obvious that Fu Lang was protecting Hua Yunya because of Qiao Yu!
Queen Mother Xue did not feel angry about being helped by Yan Fu. Instead, she gave Qiao Yu a meaningful look:
It seems that what Lan'er said is unreasonable. If the emperor really doesn't have her in his heart, just like those gossiping palace maids in the harem said, it is Concubine Qiu who is favored, so why would the emperor speak for Hua Yunya for no reason?
The dancer continued to dance. Yan Fu saw that Qiao Yu did not change clothes immediately, but just wiped herself with a handkerchief. He said depressedly:
"Yu Yuanting."
"The servant is here."
Then he saw Yan Fu looking at Qiao Yu with anger in his eyes, and he immediately understood in his heart that the emperor cared about Empress Hua!
"I'll go right away."
Yu Yuanting walked around the crowd and came to Qiao Yu:
"Empress Hua, please come with me and change your clothes. The Emperor will be worried if you catch a cold."
Qiao Yu nodded calmly, but Hua Yunya was full of envy. Even the emperor's steward had come, so it seemed that his sister's return to favor was just around the corner.
Hua Yunyao didn't know why. Qiao Yu was clearly helping her today, but she felt that Qiao Yu had stolen the emperor's favor.
But if Hua Yunya had just followed Qiao Yu's instructions, how could this have happened? Hua Yunya is a man who holds grudges but does not remember favors. He felt that Qiao Yu was plotting against him tonight.
If it were an ordinary person, Hua Yunya would have been heartless and overthinking it, but she was smart for once. Qiao Yu had a good grasp of Hua Yunya's stupid nature and predicted that something would go wrong with her tonight.
When Qiao Yu heard what Yan Fu meant, his face turned as warm as the spring breeze blowing through a lake that has melted in winter.
"Don't bother me, eunuch. I can go by myself. However, I am a little drunk, so please apologize to the Emperor on my behalf."
"Then Miss Zhu'er and Aunt Sufang, please take good care of your master."
Before leaving the table, Qiao Yu glanced at the Regent's seat and left.
It just so happened that her eyes met Yan Qu's. For that brief second, Qiao Yu felt that Yan Qu had been paying attention to her.
However, the two of them tacitly looked away.
