"Lucui, quick, pick it up, this meat is going to be burned!"

Wei Yunqing was holding a handful of bamboo skewers dressed in various foods in his hand, turning them slowly, and his eyes glanced to the side to find that the meat that was roasting there in Lucui was past the heat, and immediately shouted.

"Yes, it's a mother!" As she responded, she hurriedly picked up a string of pork tenderloin that was being grilled on the charcoal fire and put it on a light blue clean porcelain tray beside her.

Some of the palace people in Yanxi Palace were washing vegetables, some were cutting meat, some were wearing washed and cut pork, chicken, mutton, as well as small greens, Chinese cabbage and other vegetables on thin and long bamboo skewers, and some were standing in front of the charcoal fire, watching the skewers with Wei Yunqing.

The people of Yanxi Palace were busy, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles of novelty, excitement and anticipation.

This is naturally a barbecue conference created by Wei Yunqing.

Because of the high-end status of the imperial concubine, the first person in the emperor's harem, coupled with her several movements, she told the people in the harem how high her status is in Yang Yi's heart, in the preparation of ingredients and charcoal tools, Wei Yunqing was not hindered in any way, and the sharpened bamboo skewers were washed and sent, and the best Xiangxi smokeless charcoal fire moved two bags to her palace, and there were fewer seasonal vegetables, after all, there were no greenhouses here to eat out-of-season vegetables, but there were a lot of meat, as well as soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, chili pepper and other seasonings. Wei Yunqing can't eat too spicy, a little chili pepper to taste is acceptable, I think there are other palace people in Yanxi Palace who love spicy food, and it's always right to prepare.

This is Wei Yunqing's third day after seeing Yang Yi's class and Concubine Zhuang come back. On the first day, she hid in the palace and sulked, and the next day, she called Ding Zhengyu out of the palace and went to see Liu Huiniang, the two ignored the difference in identity under Wei Yunqing's insistence, and chatted energetically, if it weren't for Ding Zhengyu's vigorous urging Wei Yunqing to return to the palace sooner, she might have stayed outside.

Then on the third day, Wei Yunqing ordered the palace people to move early in the morning, perform their duties, prepare things for the barbecue, and start the barbecue party before noon.

"Niangniang, ...... are you" There are Jinyi guards patrolling by, seeing that the palace door here is wide open, and the inside is full of enthusiasm, and there is the smell of fireworks and the aroma of tempting drooling, I can't help but stop at the door and look in curiously.

"My lord, we're making skewers, would you and your brothers want some of them? Originally, it tasted the best with sake, but you are on duty, and it is not good to drink, so you can only eat some skewers to taste the taste. Wei Yunqing was busy grilling skewers, only glanced up at the other party, replied casually, and then lowered his head again to concentrate on grilling her chicken.

"Hey, don't be stunned, it's not delicious when it's cold, eat it quickly!" Wei Yunqing saw that no one ate the grilled skewers, so he couldn't help but urge.

"Niangniang, you eat and rest first, and leave it to us here." Lam Tin Road. She knew that Wei Yunqing didn't eat it, and the rest of the people didn't dare to eat it first, how could there be a reason to watch Niang Niang work while they enjoyed it? Like now, the mother and they make skewers to eat, which is already a dream for them. Before, a little palace maid pulled Lantian and asked her in a panic, if they saw Niang Niang do not help like this, should they be punished in the future? was appeased by Lantian, she was amused in her heart, knowing that there would be more places for these people to open their eyes in the future. There will be no people like Niangniang in this harem, and there are few in this world, and it is their luck to be able to follow her.

"It's fun to eat while grilling." Wei Yunqing smiled, grabbed a large handful of kebabs, walked to the Jinyi guard who was still standing at the gate of the palace, handed it out and said, "This lord, come, you're welcome, if it's not enough, there is more." But after eating this bamboo skewer, you have to keep it, and you can use it in the future. ”

The brocade guard finally came back to his senses, but he didn't dare to take the skewers, and hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, Weichen is on duty, and it is inconvenient to stay to eat and drink, thank you Niangniang for your kindness." ”

"That's right...... Then I will have a chance to eat it again. Wei Yunqing nodded regretfully, took back the skewers and handed them to Lu Cui, asking her to share them with the other palace people. When people want to go to work, she can't disturb their legitimate work.

A few of the Jinyi guards swallowed their saliva as they looked at the distant skewers, and reluctantly followed the leader and turned away. This meat is so fragrant, it's a pity that I don't have to eat it.

In addition to being a little reserved at the beginning, after letting go, the people in the palace were open to eat, and everyone ate skewers while drinking sweet white fungus soup, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

At this moment, a palace person saw Yang Yi, who was standing quietly at the gate of the palace for some time, and was so frightened that he swallowed the chicken breast in his mouth before he had time to chew, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Congratulations, welcome to the emperor!" ”

His words were like a thunderclap on the ground, and the rest of the palace people put down the things in their hands one after another, knelt down in panic and asked for peace, and immediately heard a vague voice.

Wei Yunqing was roasting a bunch of small green vegetables, glanced sideways at Yang Yi, who seemed to be taken aback by the reaction of the palace people, but turned his gaze back without any reaction, and said to Lan Tian: "Lan Tian, bring me a few new skewers, all the ones here are baked." ”

Lantian was originally kneeling like the palace people, but when he heard Wei Yunqing's order, he looked up at Yang Yi, and seeing that he didn't react, he hurriedly got up and ran to get the freshly worn skewers and handed them to Wei Yunqing.

Wei Yunqing took it and put it on the charcoal fire to roast, and all that was left on the scene was the sizzle of meat roasting in the flames.

Yang Yi stood at the gate of Yanxi Palace a little helplessly, Wei Yunqing was quietly roasting things not far away, but he stood like a statue in place, not daring to approach.

When Wei Yunqing first fell ill, his condition seemed a little dangerous, so Yang Yi stayed by her side, and then later, she asked him to go back to study, and in order to reassure her, he also went. After a long time, she recovered from her illness, he reverted to his old state, Concubine Zhuang came to him with fun things, he only hesitated for a while and chose to "relax" and take a vacation for himself.

That day, after everyone was gone and all the hustle and bustle had dissipated, Yang Yi was worried, and kept thinking about how he would deal with it when his sister Yunqing came to scold him. To his surprise, she didn't come to see him, as if she didn't know he hadn't gone to school.

Yang Yi was lucky because of this, and he didn't go to Wenhuai the next day. As a result, Wei Yunqing didn't go to him that day, and he felt that something was wrong. Sister Yunqing was so concerned about whether he was studying hard before, but now she seems to be indifferent...... Could it be that she is getting sicker?

On the third day, Yang Yi didn't have the heart to play, so he brought people to the gate of Yanxi Palace, but before he arrived at the gate of the palace, he found that Yanxi Palace was very lively, and when he got closer, he found that they were actually baking something to eat.

Yang Yi asked the palace people who came with him not to make a sound, and he cautiously hid by the palace gate and looked inside, only to see Wei Yunqing roasting meat in high spirits, how could there be any signs of serious illness?

Sister Yunqing was not sick, but she didn't come to him to settle accounts, that is, she ...... Don't want to care about him anymore?

Thinking of this possibility, Yang Yi was a little panicked. Sister Yunqing's deal with him was based on him being a good emperor, but now Sister Yunqing is unwilling to care about him, does it mean that she still plans to leave the palace? If he hadn't come to see her in a few days, wouldn't he have been able to find her?

Yang Yi was in a daze for a while, so much so that he was discovered by the palace people of Yanxi Palace and did not react.

He was ready that Wei Yunqing would scold him or let him let her out of the palace, but he didn't expect her to ignore him, as if he didn't exist.

Yang Yi stood at the gate of the palace for a long time, and seeing that Wei Yunqing seemed to ignore him completely, he couldn't help but walk in after all.

Under Yang Yi's instructions, the palace people got up one after another and quietly retreated to the side, and only Wei Yunqing, Lantian and Lucui were left in the courtyard as if no one was moving.

"Sister Yunqing......" Yang Yi called her softly.

"It's cooked, it's delicious, you're welcome." Wei Yunqing didn't seem to notice Yang Yi, and handed the skewers in his hand to Lu Cui, "Don't you like to eat very much, eat quickly." ”

Lu Cui's eyes lit up when she saw the skewers, but Yang Yi was looking at them from the side, Wei Yunqing had the courage to ignore Yang Yi, but Lu Cui didn't, and after taking the skewers, she said cautiously: "Niangniang...... The emperor is here. ”

Wei Yunqing smiled: "What's the matter with you?" Eat it, it's not good if it's cold! ”

Lucui's eyes slanted and saw Yang Yi's face on the side that collapsed in an instant, and suddenly became sad - Niangniang, don't test the slaves and maids, the slaves and maids really can't resist......

She shook her hand and took the skewer, thanksgiving: "Thank you for the ......" and silently stepped aside.

Wei Yunqing clapped his hands and said to Lantian and Lucui: "You guys roast and eat first." ”

Then she raised her eyes and nodded her chin at Yang Yi: "You come with me." Then he walked towards the palace.

Yang Yi was overjoyed and immediately chased after him.

Seeing that the door of the palace room was closed after the two entered, in a silent atmosphere, Lantian smiled and greeted the people brought by Yang Yi: "Everyone, why don't you come and try it?" This is what our mother came up with, smelling fragrant, eating more beautiful, Niang Niang instructed us to prepare a lot, everyone open to eat. ”

Anyway, Yang Yi still remembered that Wei Yunqing didn't like Zheng Xiang, and he didn't bring Zheng Xiang when he came to her, and Lantian and Lucui were originally from the Qianqing Palace, and they had a friendship with them.

Compared with the bustle outside, the palace room was so quiet that it could be heard.

Wei Yunqing didn't think about taking the initiative to greet him after letting Yang Yi come in with him, he sat in his seat as if in a daze, Yang Yi stood there in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, before Yang Yi spoke, Wei Yunqing was not ready to wait any longer, glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you don't have anything to say, let's leave." ”

Yang Yi woke up from a dream and immediately said: "Sister Yunqing......" but only called her, but didn't know what to say next. It seems that he should come to make amends, but Sister Yunqing didn't scold him, and she didn't even care if he went to study or not, is it still useful for him to make amends?

"What? Do you want to assure me once again that you will study hard and that you will never waste your studies again like this and last time? Wei Yunqing said this with some irony. The story of "Here Comes the Wolf" is familiar, and once too many promises have been made and they have not been fulfilled, the promises have no meaning.

Yang Yi's face was sneering, and he finally said completely after a long time: "I...... I swear this is the last time! Sister Yunqing, I won't be like this again in the future, you believe me again! ”

"I've trusted you twice." Wei Yunqing looked at Yang Yi fixedly, "You can't fulfill your promise." It's better to stop our deal, I leave the palace, and you don't have to worry about someone supervising you every day. ”

Yang Yi shook his head again and again: "Sister Yunqing, this time, this time, I will definitely be able to do it!" ”

"You've made such promises so many times, what's the use?" Wei Yunqing made no secret of the disappointment on her face, "I have believed in you twice and feel that you can overcome your shortcomings and return to the right path. But the facts have given me a big slap in the face, you have weak willpower, and you will immediately disarm and surrender at the slightest temptation, half-heartedly, what can you do? ”

Yang Yi lowered his gaze, his face was red and white.

In the face of Wei Yunqing's questioning, he was weak-hearted, and he was so hot that he couldn't say anything when she questioned him in a few words. But another voice seemed to echo in his ears as well.

Zheng Xiang said, Your Majesty, you are the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can you endure the disrespect of others to you?

Yang Yi can endure Wei Yunqing's disrespect for him, because she treats him differently in every sense, but thinking that maybe she has been comparing him with Yan Rusong in her heart, and has always felt that he is not as good as Yan Rusong, and there is a big lump in his heart, which can't be eliminated there.

"Sister Yunqing, in your opinion, I just can't compare to Yan Rusong, right?" In silence, Yang Yi suddenly looked up at Wei Yunqing and asked in a loud voice.

Wei Yunqing was stunned, his eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly met his unwilling and annoyed gaze.

Without waiting for Wei Yunqing to speak, Yang Yi continued: "Sister Yunqing, you have already entered the palace, why do you still think about that Yan Rusong? What the hell is good about him? He's just a military attaché, so how can he compare to me? I am the Son of Heaven, I am the biggest in the world, what point am I not as good as him?! ”

Wei Yunqing's complexion gradually changed.

She was forced to enter the palace and was forced to separate from Yan Rusong, only thinking that she would definitely be able to leave the palace to reunite with him in the near future to feel a trace of comfort, and all of this was given by Yang Yi, but he was still slandering Yan Rusong in front of her and saying bad things about Yan Rusong. How can she endure this?

"He's good anywhere, you can't compare to him anywhere!" Wei Yunqing squinted and looked at Yang Yi angrily, "He protects his family and defends the country, cares about the people of Limin, and works hard for the hundreds of years of foundation of Daliang, and he doesn't even have time to take care of his life's major events." This is his character, and his power is fully worthy of the nobility of his character. If it weren't for him, your Yang family's Liang Jiangshan would have already changed hands! He is indeed only a military attaché, but he has secured your throne with his hands, and if it weren't for him, do you think you would still be as comfortable as you are now? And you? ”

She looked at Yang Yi indifferently: "You, the emperor, don't learn and don't know, you are lazy to eat, just like mud that can't support the wall, even if others want to push you, they can't push you." Your wrong decisions and incompetence killed hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but you never repented, and you listened to slander and killed Sun Shoufu! Now you don't want to forge ahead, and you continue to be with eunuchs, singing and dancing all day long, indulging in lustful dogs and horses, and never thinking about what will happen to the future beams! Just like you, you are also worthy of being compared with Yan Rusong? You can't even compare to a finger of his! ”

Yang Yi's face turned pale, and he trembled with anger, but he couldn't say a word.

Wei Yunqing looked at him with the same annoyance, without the slightest intention of backing down. She's backed down for too long, too long, and she's been under too much pressure and pain that shouldn't have been put on her. The person who made her live easier was Yang Yi, but the person who forcibly left her in the palace despite her wishes, and killed Sun Shoufu so that she didn't dare to see Sun Sisi anymore was also Yang Yi, and now he didn't know how to say bad things about Yan Rusong in front of her, which directly hit her explosive point and made her scold him mercilessly.

"Do you think I'm not as good as Yan Rusong no matter what I do?" Yang Yi's voice trembled.

"Yes!" Wei Yunqing replied mercilessly.

Yang Yi's eyes were wide open, his fists were clenched at his sides, and his chest rose and fell violently. His eyes were filled with unwillingness, anger, pain, and resentment.

He suddenly turned around and rushed out in a few steps.

As soon as the palace people of the Qianqing Palace saw him come out, they immediately put down the skewers they were half-eating. Yang Yi walked out like a gust of wind, and the palace people immediately followed, and soon half of the people in the courtyard were missing.

When Lu Cui and Lan Tian saw Yang Yi's face and knew that the conversation between the two was not pleasant, they both looked at each other worriedly after glancing at each other. There was silence there, and Wei Yunqing didn't call anyone in, nor did he come out.

Lantian hesitated for a moment, then walked to the door and whispered, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”

“…… It's okay, you can eat first, and leave me alone. I took a break and didn't ask anyone not to let people in. Wei Yunqing's low voice came from the room.

Lantian breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, Niangniang." ”

Seeing that Yang Yi was angry with himself, Wei Yunqing regretted it a little. But she couldn't pull her face and immediately persuaded him to come back.

The emotions that had accumulated for a long time exploded at this moment, and she scolded Yang Yi recklessly, feeling really worried and refreshed.

The words she had just scolded him were all from her heart. In her heart, Yang Yi is not as good as Yan Rusong, and she will never be able to compare. She wasn't afraid that Yang Yi would be angry with her because of her words or something, he was convinced of her fairy identity, at most he would lock her up like before, looking at her, what else could he do?

As for whether he will do anything to Yan Rusong...... Yan Rusong rescued him from the battlefield and guarded the entire beam, without Yan Rusong, would the beam still be alive? Da Song is still eyeing not far away, Yang Yi won't be unable to understand this. Even if he couldn't figure it out, and thought about making a move on Yan Rusong for a while, she believed that someone else would stop him, and no matter how bad it was, she would dare to fight with him!

It wasn't until the next day that Wei Yunqing found that Yang Yi's possible "punishment" had not come. Her Yanxi Palace was as calm as ever, and there were no more brocade guards surrounding her palace, nor did she order her palace people to look at her. It's just that when she found Ding Zhengyu and said that she wanted to leave the palace, Ding Zhengyu apologized and told her that the emperor had withdrawn her right to enter and leave the palace at will.

Other than that, nothing has changed.

A few days later, Wei Yunqing received a letter from Wen Huai's trustee. Wen Huai is a foreign man, and he can't go in and out of the harem at will, so he finally sent in a letter.

After reading the letter, Wei Yunqing fell into a long silence.

Wen Huai's letter was written with a lot of words, it really quoted scriptures and classics, and the writing was brilliant, but Wei Yunqing extracted important information, and there was only one thing: The emperor didn't come to me to study, what should I do?

- What else can she do?

In addition to the freedom to leave the palace, what is also a little different from the past is that Yang Yi never came to Wei Yunqing again. According to Wen Huai, Yang Yi is now singing and dancing every day, drinking and having fun, and has changed into the past, and even intensified.

However, when the palace people of Yanxi Palace wanted to improve Wei Yunqing's food and encountered snobbish difficulties, and then the troublesome imperial dining room steward was immediately scolded by the cane, everyone understood that the emperor's heart was still on the imperial concubine, and if anyone dared to snub her, there would be no good fruit to eat!

The matter came to an impasse.

Yang Yi didn't come to Wei Yunqing, and Wei Yunqing didn't want to go to him, in the eyes of outsiders, they were like two couples in the Cold War, and no one could get rid of that face and give in first. On Yang Yi's side, Zheng Xiang, Concubine Zhuang and others naturally liked this, even if Yang Yi muttered Wei Yunqing's name after being drunk, they also hid the matter, and it was impossible to persuade him to go to Wei Yunqing again. On Wei Yunqing's side, Lan Tian vaguely mentioned the matter of saying a few good words first, but Wei Yunqing smiled bitterly and perfunctory.

Wei Yunqing actually knows very well that things are not that simple. Even if she relents and reconciles with Yang Yi, what can she do? Her purpose was not to please Yang Yi, but to make him a good emperor. But even if she and him can reconcile this time, he will once again make superficial efforts to become a good emperor, all of which is just useless, and then he will repeat the previous things in a loop, and nothing will change.

Yang Yi can't become a good emperor, and she can't fulfill her promise to leave the palace.

Wei Yunqing hid in the palace and thought about it for a long time, her silent performance even worried Lu Cui and Lan Tian, but they didn't know how to persuade her.

And Wei Yunqing didn't need their persuasion, she didn't feel sorry for herself, but kept thinking about the solution to this impasse. Eventually, she decided to take a different path.

Maybe Yang Yi can't be a good emperor, but sometimes the imperial machine can run well without an emperor, such as when Sun Shoufu was there.

Since she can't change Yang Yi, then change the people around him. As long as most of the people around Yang Yi are good, then he can show the performance of a good emperor to a certain extent, then her promise to Sun Shoufu can also be regarded as fulfilled. This is a big project, involving more people, but it may be much easier than changing Yang Yi, after all, there is only one Yang Yi, and if the people around him can't be changed, they can be replaced. 166 Reading Network
