Ye Yunting tidied up his clothes, opened the door and went out to receive the reward.

The person who came was a chamberlain who was nearly fifty years old. He was tall and thin, wearing a dark purple robe with a round neck and narrow sleeves. He had his hands clasped in front of his belly. His eyes were shining, and every fold on his face seemed to be engraved with the word "smart".

.

Seeing Ye Yunting coming out, he lazily raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Yunting with scrutiny.

"The Holy One is grateful for Princess Yong'an's profound righteousness, and specially ordered the servant to deliver the reward. The prince is currently ill in bed, and the wedding has been hasty. I hope the princess will not take it too seriously. When the prince recovers, he will not treat you badly."

They talk about commendations and rewards, but their attitude is nothing like that.

Ye Yunting pursed his lips, his heart also lifted, but he still knelt down to receive the reward calmly: "King Yong'an fought for Beizhao against foreign enemies and made unparalleled military exploits. Now he is seriously ill due to a conspiracy. I can do my best."

It's an honor to do so little. I don't have any resentment."

"That's good. Your Majesty can rest assured that the princess has thought so clearly." The chamberlain smiled with a flabby face, placed the scroll he was holding in Ye Yunting's hand, and said in a more serious tone: "This is given by the Holy Majesty himself.

The princess must carefully consider your choice."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Ye Yunting accepted the reward and glanced at the scroll in his hand.

Judging from the appearance, it is a painting.

He was thinking about what the emperor wanted to do when he gave him a painting, when he heard the chamberlain say again: "Why don't you open it and take a look, Princess?"

Hearing this, Ye Yunting had no choice but to untie the silk ribbon and unfold the scroll.

It's actually a picture of an igloo.

There are only two or three houses close together in the painting, and the eaves and floors are covered with thick snow. In front of the door of the middle house, there is a man holding a broom and bending down to sweep away the snow.

Ye Yunting looked at the end. There was no mark, but there was a sharp and sharp word " Trace ".

Today’s Holy One has only one name: “Zi”.

This painting turned out to be his handwriting.

Ye Yunting lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. When he raised his eyes again, there was surprise on his face, and his cheeks even turned slightly red with excitement. He pointed to the signature at the end of the scroll in disbelief and asked, "Is this an authentic work by the Holy One?" He seemed excited.

I didn't know what to do, so I stammered: "Holy, Your Majesty's painting skills are exquisite and lifelike. How can I be so virtuous and capable? How can I be so virtuous..."

After saying that, he carefully put the scroll away, held it in his arms, and bowed devoutly three times toward the east.

Seeing his words and deeds, the waiter's face turned blue and red, red and green again. His hands were clenched into fists, and for a while he couldn't tell whether Princess Yong'an was really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

How can you really not see such a simple meaning?

madness!

However, Ye Yunting still looked beaming, and smiled and welcomed him in for a cup of tea: "Thank you for your hard work, Sir, do you want to go inside, have a cup of tea, and rest before leaving?"

After saying that, he seemed to think of something, and said with an annoyed look on his face: "Forget it, there is neither hot water nor good tea in this room, so it is difficult to serve guests with cold water." As he said this, he smiled apologetically at the waiter.

Laughed.

"Please don't be offended, sir. There are only a few people in the palace, and I'm a newbie here, so I can't handle you very well."

Well, not only was the meaning of the painting unclear, but a lawsuit was filed.

I don’t know where the source of the current dilapidated appearance of the palace lies.

This chamberlain is an old man in the palace, and he also knows some things in the Duke of Qi's house. He used to know that Duke Qi favored his younger son after their marriage, and ignored his eldest son. But now it seems that Duke Qi's dislike of his eldest son is also true.

It's excusable. After all, it would be really embarrassing to let such a superficial idiot out.

The chamberlain took a deep breath and tried to make his face look less mean, but he still couldn't help but smile and said: "The prince doesn't like to make noises when he is ill. Many of his former servants have been dismissed. Trivial matters on weekdays may be

There will be some inconvenience, so I can only ask the princess to be more considerate." After a pause, he added: "Besides, the prince doesn't like outsiders to see his current appearance. If the princess is fine, it is better not to bother the prince, so as not to make the prince angry."

Is that clear enough this time?

The chamberlain made this trip today because His Majesty was very displeased when he heard that the happy princess had started to take care of King Yongan as soon as she entered the palace, so he specially asked him to come and take care of her.

The Holy Spirit pointed out this marriage, not really to find someone to serve Li Fengqi and let him live a comfortable life for the last few days.

However, Ye Yunting still looked confused as he didn't understand. He opened his innocent eyes wide and said in surprise: "Since I am already Princess Yong'an, how can I be an outsider?"

He thought to himself: "The prince may not like other people, but he will definitely not dislike me. Don't worry, sir."

"..."

The chamberlain almost choked on him and a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and his face turned blue.

His face twitched for a long time, and he couldn't even keep up his face. He sneered and said, "I don't have to worry, my servant. However, the princess must be careful about her words and deeds in the palace, so as not to cause any trouble."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left with everyone in a state of confusion.

It’s true that a child cannot be taught!

Ye Yunting stood there with a bewildered face. He stood there blankly for a long time, then he became happy again and returned to the house happily holding the scroll in his arms.

Ji Lian followed behind and closed the door tightly. He let out a long breath as if he was being pardoned, and asked in a low voice: "Master, what happened just now?"

He saw that his young master was acting, but he didn't know what it was for, so he could only try to hold in his breath without even daring to take a breath.

At this time, Ye Yunting had put away the pure and innocent look on his face, and with a calm expression, he nodded at the scrolls that were thrown carelessly on the table, and pointed at them: "This is someone who is sent to beat me and tell me to mind the business of King Yong'an.

.”

What kind of reward? This is clearly a warning to him: Everyone sweeps the snow in front of his own door, and don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles.

Unexpectedly, in just one morning, this trivial matter had already reached the ears of the palace official.

It seems that the palace seems empty and deserted, but there are many people watching secretly. And the slightest sign of trouble can be immediately reported to the palace.

Ye Yunting looked solemn and reminded Ji Lian: "In the future, you must be more careful in what you do and say in the house, so as not to be caught in the wrong place."

Although Ji Lian didn't understand these twists and turns, he knew that he would be right to listen to the young master's words, so he nodded honestly.

He looked at the time again and saw that it was already past noon. He asked strangely: "Master, didn't you say you would bring food? Why is it that it's already noon and there's still no movement?"

He didn't say it was okay, but Ye Yunting also felt a little hungry when he mentioned it. He had been working on it since before dawn, and he hadn't even eaten anything hot until now.

According to the experience of the previous life, the palace should not deduct food.

Although the emperor wanted King Yong'an to die early with him, he also wanted his good reputation even more. Therefore, according to the current situation, not only would he not take action, but he would also do a lot of superficial things, just like what he heard outside

Those rumors of a deep brotherly love are just like those. If he died inexplicably just after entering the palace, although it can be covered up, it will inevitably lead to rumors.

So even though there were a lot of dirty things going on in the palace, at least during the year he lived in the side courtyard, he could still have something to eat to maintain his life.

If he hadn't accidentally drank the poisonous soup later, he wouldn't have died early.

Ye Yunting frowned and asked Ji Lian to go out and ask.

After receiving the instructions, Ji Lian opened the door and went out to ask the two maids. Ye Yunting chose a conspicuous place outside and hung up the painting given by the emperor himself.

Since we are going to do a show, we naturally have to do a complete set.

After the painting was hung, Ji Lian came back.

"The two maids still refused to speak and didn't answer no matter what they asked." He closed the door and said angrily: "In the end, I had no choice but to give them some money, and they said they had received orders from their superiors and would not be allowed to leave today.

Bring us food.”

"I got the order from above..." Ye Yunting clicked his tongue, and thought of the livid expression on the eunuch's face when he left, he clicked his tongue: "It seems that the scene just now was done, and it made people very angry. You want to give me some points."

What’s the lesson?”

After saying that, he shook his head: "Forget it, aren't there still wedding candies? Let's put some food on our stomach first, and we'll think of a solution in the afternoon."

The maid will not bring food to the palace. The master and servant have just arrived at the palace and are not familiar with the place. Not to mention that there are secret sentries hidden somewhere in the palace. Most of them cannot come in and out freely. They can only take one step at a time.

Already.

"We have really stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den."

Ji Lian took out the oil paper bag hidden in his arms, took a piece for himself, and pushed the rest to Ye Yunting: "I secretly ate a lot when I was at the Duke's Mansion in the morning. I'm not hungry now. Young Master, please eat more."

point."

Ye Yunting took a piece and slowly finished the tea that had gone cold. He wrapped the rest and stuffed it back to Ji Lian. Before he could refuse, he said: "I'm not hungry. You should eat more. I have something to do later."

I'll leave it to you."

After hearing this, Ji Lian was willing to take it over.

The master and servant both filled their stomachs. After thinking for a while, Ye Yunting asked Ji Lian to go around the palace and find out where the secret sentries were hidden. It would be best to find out how many people there were.

Although Ji Lian has never seriously studied martial arts, he is strong, has nimble legs and feet, and is quite agile. It shouldn't be a big problem to secretly detect the hidden whistle.

"Be careful, don't show any clues and let others find out." Ye Yunting thought for a while but still said worriedly: "If it doesn't work, come back quickly."

Ji Lian nodded: "I can spare it."

As he spoke, he ran out and brought two buckets of water back, then deliberately loudly said: "Princess, I'm not full yet, go look in the kitchen to see if there is anything else to eat."

After saying that, he went out in a hurry.

The two maids in the courtyard must have been ordered to do so, and they acted like clay figurines as always, not listening, looking, or caring, and just kept obediently in the courtyard.

Ye Yunting took the opportunity to close the door and quickly scanned the big trees in the yard, but did not find the secret sentry squatting there.

But he was not worried at all, so he quickly went back to the inner room and closed all the open windows, leaving only two windows facing the open space and unable to hide people for ventilation.
