Su Yu felt something in the purse in his hand. He opened it and saw a piece of paper with beautiful handwriting on it:
Empress Hua will take a short nap every day at the time of Shen. If Your Majesty is free, we will meet at the Bamboo Pond tomorrow.
!!!
Su Yu blushed from face to ears after reading just one line of words. Miss Yun Jue wrote his name... and asked him to meet her. Was this what he was thinking?
Su Yu clutched the note tightly, walked around in circles, and then went to the wardrobe and searched through it but couldn't find a piece of clothing that he liked to wear tomorrow.
In this world, it is not only women who dress themselves to please themselves. Su Yu suddenly became a little insecure about his appearance.
As soon as Hua Yunyao arrived at Lan Zhao Palace, Yun Jue, who was sitting there, showed a hint of disgust in his eyes and spat in his heart:
Since her elder sister is helping Hua Yunya so much, she is so eager to snatch her elder sister's favor as soon as she sees that she is the second favorite?
Yun Jue stood up with a fake smile to greet him:
"Where did this wind come from that blew Empress Jin here?"
Although Hua Yunyao could temporarily ignore Qiao Yu's order to beat Aunt Yao for the sake of current etiquette, he could not forget that if it were not for the instigation of these two mother and daughter, Aunt Yao would not have received those twenty boards in vain.
Without giving any face, he said:
"Oh, Miss Hua, you haven't forgotten that I am a noble concubine. It's fine if you don't show respect to me. We are sisters, and I don't care. But you are being sarcastic in front of your elder sister and you are insulting her ears..."
Hua Yunya pressed forward step by step. His gorgeous appearance and gorgeous clothes made him look very imposing and aggressive.
"Are you worthy of your elder sister's favor and love for you?"
"you..!"
Yun Jue is not as good as Hua Yunya, who was born in a humble family. He will definitely lose in terms of talking skills:
"Alright, since we both know we're sisters, stop arguing. It's getting late, Jue'er, so you should go back today."
Yun Jue would go to the palace to pay her respects every day, but she rarely stayed overnight, after all, she was still an unmarried woman.
She also knew that it was a bad idea for her elder sister to be on good terms with Hua Yunya. Now that her position was not secure, it was better to have one more helper in the palace than one more enemy, so she was obedient and did not continue to argue with Hua Yunya.
Instead, Hua Yunya gave her a domineering look, as if to say:
You see, I am still more important in my elder sister's heart.
"Yun Ya, you should go back too. The Emperor will come to this palace for dinner later. If you stay here, it will be Sima Zhao's intention to avoid annoying the Emperor."
Seeing Qiao Yu rushing her away, she wanted to say that she came here because she knew the emperor was coming, otherwise why would she make two trips a day? There was no treasure in Lan Zhao Palace.
However, what Qiao Yu said did make some sense, but I still felt a little unwilling.
Qiao Yu saw through Hua Yunya's little tricks clearly and continued:
"I will report your matter to the Emperor."
"! Then Yun Ya thanks my elder sister."
The emperor would turn over her name card alone, and there was no point in her staying in Lanzhao Palace as a supporting role. Hua Yunya naturally went back happily.
As soon as she left, Qiao Yu waved to Zhu'er and whispered in her ear:
"You'll see my expression later..."
By the time Yan Fu finished his work, it was already past meal time. He sent someone to tell Qiao Yu to eat first and he would eat later.
"May the Emperor be blessed with good health."
"Excuse me, where is your wife?"
Yan Fu couldn't find anyone around, so he asked in confusion, "Did he go to take a bath?"
The palace maids and eunuchs looked at each other with smiles on their faces:
"The Queen will be here soon."
At this time, Xiao Dezi received the hint and immediately winked at everyone in the room. The candles in the room were all extinguished and it became dark. Yu Yuanting was so scared that he almost shouted "Protect the emperor".
At this time, Qiao Yu came over with a cake with a few candles on it. The faint candlelight reflected the girl's fair and delicate face.
If anyone else was illuminated by this candlelight, it would definitely be scary, but when it shone on the girl's face, it gave people the feeling of a fairy who was not of this world and had descended to earth.
The girl's red lips opened and closed:
"Happy birthday, Your Majesty."
The beautiful smile made Yan Fu's eyes blur. This scene seemed to overlap with the smiling face when he fell into the water and was rescued by Qiu Ziqiang many years ago.
His birthday is actually today, but his mother was an unfavored concubine. When he was born, it rained suddenly and many places were flooded. It was an unfortunate day and Yan Fu was also unlucky.
When Empress Dowager Xue adopted him, she felt that his birthday was unlucky, and was too lazy to choose an auspicious day, so she changed it to one day earlier.
As time went by, Yan Fu also forgot that his birthday was not yesterday, and the real date of Yan Fu's birth was told to Qiao Yu by Empress Dowager Xue.
"My birthday was yesterday. How did Lan'er know that my birthday is actually today?"
No one except Empress Dowager Xue could tell Qiao Yu when Yan Fu was born. Yan Fu hated Empress Dowager Xue, so she naturally could not hide why she knew it.
Seeing Yan Fu stunned, it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. The girl's fair face was timid, and her eyes were moist:
"When Lan'er first came to the palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager... she deliberately inquired about your preferences. The Empress Dowager also accidentally mentioned your birthday. Was Fu Lang angry at Lan'er's self-willed decision?"
Although she called him "Fu Lang" again, Qiao Yu's voice made Yan Fu's heart skip a beat. He liked girls... calling him like that.
Yan Fu didn't know whether he was annoyed that Qiao Yu asked about the emperor's preferences or happy that Qiao Yu could prepare a surprise for him with just an unintentional word.
"Lan'er, I am very happy."
A man's joy seemed to be the girl's greatest reward. The smile on her face was pure and sincere:
"Then Fu Lang, try it quickly."
The girl handed the cake forward like a child asking for praise, presenting a treasure, and looked at Yan Fu with burning eyes. If someone else had stared at the emperor like that, they would have died long ago.
