Chapter 921 Last night's string sound

Early in the morning, Yao Ji followed the emperor and officials to visit the imperial tomb. It took several hours to go back and forth and ceremony. When he returned to Zhongdu Imperial City, it was already noon.

After lunch, Yao Ji changed into a large blue robe and a slightly heavy phoenix crown. This made people find an old eunuch living in the second place to lead the way to meet Mrs. Guo’s residence. The followers carried a box to visit Guo Yan’s gift. There were silk, new copper coins, some rouge and water powder, and various supplies.

Everyone walked into a courtyard. When Yao Ji saw Guo Yan coming out to greet him, she was immediately surprised.

After a few years of sight, Guo Yan has changed a lot. She seemed to have aged a lot, her pale skin was very shiny, and the skin beside her nose was obviously sagging, and she was not very careful in dressing her plain clothes, and she looked like an ordinary woman.

After the ceremony, Guo Yan led Yao Ji into the room. Yao Ji saw a bronze mirror, comb, small box and other items on a table in the room. Guo Yan seemed to have dressed up before, but after the notice, it was not long, so the things were not cleaned up.

"The fairy concubine has not changed much, she is still so beautiful." Guo Yan looked at Yao Ji and said, her eyes were a little complicated, and she subconsciously reached out to put her hand on her cheek.

"Where?" Yao Ji smiled and turned around and said, "Put it down, let's go."

The followers said one after another: "Yes."

Yao Ji glanced at the box, "This is the queen's wish."

Guo Yan said: "After Concubine Xian returns to Beijing, I will thank her for me. Please sit here."

The two of them sat in the chair inside. Guo Yan was not far from the table and still looked into the bronze mirror from time to time. Yao Ji's appearance seemed to stimulate her a little, after all, Yao Ji was no more than two years younger than her.

There were almost no men in Zhongdu Imperial City, and the officials and soldiers who were left behind the department would not come in; but Guo Yan still showed frustration on the spot when she was declining to her beauty.

Yao Ji suddenly found that Mrs. Guo had no way to turn around. Beauty is really a big advantage for women, but unfortunately there is time limit and it is very easy to be squandered.

"No matter when it comes, the queen has been thinking about Mrs. Guo." Yao Ji said, "She often mentions your childhood."

Guo Yan said weakly: "It should be a little guilty."

When Yao Ji heard this, she looked at her with a smile and said softly: "But now, I'm afraid only the queen will miss you so much."

Guo Yan opened her mouth slightly, but couldn't speak. Yao Ji's words just now were undoubtedly true.

Yao Ji then said frankly: "The emperor left the capital and wanted to take someone, the queen was unwilling to interfere more. In order to accompany the emperor, I proposed to visit Mrs. Guo voluntarily, and the queen thought of a way out. The queen never ignored Mrs. Guo in her heart."

Guo Yan did not respond.

Yao Ji said again: "When the deposed prince party was overthrown, Mrs. Guo was able to stay in the palace, and the queen was thinking of a solution."

Guo Yan raised her head and said, "Later, a fire broke out in Fengyang. Don't everyone think that my thing is a problem? That's why I was sent here."

"It is difficult for people to do whatever they want for others." Yao Ji said, "I think Mrs. Guo understands the queen's wishes in her heart, so she has such demands. Otherwise, will you blame that person for being a relative or accustomed to the point of being harsh?"

Guo Yan immediately turned to look at Yao Ji, her expression changed slightly and quickly, and she remained silent.

"I don't need mercy at this point." Guo Yan said, "It's great for me to guard the tomb here and I can still accompany Zhan'an."

Yao Ji said calmly: "That fire has nothing to do with the Emperor of the Holy Emperor. This morning, the Emperor got up very early. After I went out, I found that the Emperor was walking by the ruins of the fire. The Emperor of the Holy Emperor had no guilt, only feelings."

Guo Yan's upper body fluctuated, and her face showed resentment and pain. She seemed to have a little rapid breathing and gritted her teeth and said, "Zong|The old eunuch Wu Zhong, isn't Ma Enhui's confidant?"

Yao Ji looked at Guo Yan's eyes and couldn't help but feel nervous. Yao Ji suddenly understood why Guo Yan got so fast. I'm afraid that ordinary people would not be able to bear the great sorrow in her heart.

Originally, Yao Ji had thought about using Guo Yan's hatred to deal with Ma Enhui, but in the end it was not put into practice. It was just thinking about it. Now it seems that Yao Ji is glad that she did not do anything wrong, otherwise things might not be able to control.

People are also changing. In the past, Yao Ji was very angry with Ma Enhui and wanted to treat her with her own way. In the past two years, she has become a little open-minded. Perhaps because her life is getting better and better, she has gradually become open-minded.

"If it was really Ma Enhui's instruction, I'm afraid the emperor would do something." Yao Ji said calmly, "Mrs. Guo, don't forget that Zhan Yi is not only your son, but also the emperor's nephew. Can the royal bloodline make outsiders harm if they want to?"

Guo Yan said coldly: "Will Ma Enhui admit it?"

Yao Ji replied without hesitation: "The Lord's heart is probably more clear than people think."

Guo Yan frowned and stared at Yao Ji without comment. After a while, she just said, "I did see the emperor wrongly. I was really stupid at that time."

Yao Ji vaguely guessed Guo Yan's regret. Yao Ji also heard about it. It is said that the person who promised Zhu Gaoxu to be the princess of Han might be Guo Yan.

"Fate is impermanent. Whether it is grace or grudge, it is probably useless now. There is no way, just let go if you can. If you can, please let go. If Mrs. Guo has any needs, please ask someone to tell the queen that as long as you can do it, the queen will still help you. In the queen's heart, you will be the eldest sister for the rest of your life." After Yao Ji said that, she stood up, "I'll say goodbye, there will be a date in the future."

Guo Yan sent her off for a long time. She had resentment towards many people, but she had no grudges with Yao Ji.

Walking out of the courtyard, the breeze was blowing in the bright sunshine. Yao Ji suddenly felt a sense of a sense of depression and felt a lot more uncomfortable. Even after staying in Guo Yan's house for a while, Yao Ji felt very uncomfortable, and even there seemed to be a depressing atmosphere in the air. Yao Ji couldn't help feeling a little.

The palace maids hurriedly brought a sunshade umbrella, and Yao Ji then got into the sedan chair and returned to the palace where everyone was staying.

I will set off to leave Zhongdu tomorrow morning, and there will be nothing serious this afternoon. Yao Ji ordered the people who accompanied me to go to the place where the imperial concubine Mu Zhen lives.

At this time, the Mu family's family was at its peak. Now they raised an army to seize the world. The Duke of Qian State Mu Sheng made great contributions and was extremely trusted by the emperor. Moreover, the people in the Mu family are still guarding Yunnan and are the most powerful nobles of the Ming Dynasty. In order to win over the Mu family, the emperor did not hesitate to change the etiquette system and specially added the name of "Imperial Concubine" to Mu Zhen, which is beyond words.

Even the queen was very afraid of Mu Zhen and was often a little worried. Although Yao Ji had a good relationship with the queen, there was no need for her to get along with Mu Zhen for the sake of the queen. Moreover, the queen and Mu Zhen were always humble to each other and dared not easily make grudges.

Mu Zhen was very enthusiastic. She seemed to be taking a nap, but when she came out to meet her, she still had a trace of her hair on her face, but she didn't care at all. She immediately took Yao Ji's hand affectionately and talked about the sound of the pipa last night. It seemed that the two of them had a very close relationship.

Moreover, Mu Zhen has a handsome and delicate face, and her eyes are very bright and clean when she smiles. She always feels very comfortable. She is like a spring breeze, and she never shows off her family style. At first, Yao Ji thought she was good at dealing with the world, and they were all skills, but after a little longer, Yao Ji believed it a little. Mu Zhen seemed to be a good person to meet.

So Yao Ji didn't hate her, but she liked her a little.

The queen had a prince, and Mu Zhen also gave birth to a prince. Yao Ji didn't treat them as an opponent at all. She was too lazy to compete for anything in terms of power. She was not of the same strength. Yao Ji just wanted to compete for favor.

"It seems to be called Chen Xianzhen." Yao Ji said quietly in cooperation when she saw Mu Zhen was interested.

Mu Zhen tilted her body and said softly: "We have been sent to Fengyang. The emperor went to see her in person. Why do you look a little bit disconnected? Does Chen Xianzhen have any past with the emperor?"

Yao Ji chuckled and said, "I heard that when the emperor was in Yunnan, Chen Xianzhen came to serve as a lobbyist for the people of Annan. Later, I guess he had been close to the emperor."

"Get close?" Mu Zhen repeated casually.

Yao Ji was whispering: "Hey."

The two looked at each other, and Mu Zhen showed an embarrassing expression. Seeing her eyes subconsciously avoiding them, Yao Ji guessed that she understood.

Yao Ji said again: "The Master is a nostalgic person, not just for one person. Then Chen Xianzhen took the initiative to show up, and the Master may not be too ruthless."

At this moment, Yao Ji vaguely saw Cao Fu's figure passing outside the door, and she turned around and said, "Go and call Cao Fu in."

The palace maid standing at the door bent her knees and said, "Yes."

Yao Ji said to Mu Zhen: "Just ask Cao Fu, you will know that this eunuch is by the emperor all day long."

Sure enough, Cao Fu came in quickly. When he saw the two imperial concubines sitting on it, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Mu Zhen said, "Eunuch Cao, get up quickly."

Cao Fubai's fat face was very kind, and he said with a smile: "I, Empress Xie, Empress Xie Xian, Empress Xie, the two Empresses are healthy and healthy."

Then Mu Zhen waved her handkerchief gently, and the palace maids standing in the living room bowed their knees and left one after another. Cao Fu turned around and immediately showed a flattering smile when he turned around.

Yao Ji said: "I ask you, how should the Lord treat Chen Xianzhen?"

Cao Fuwei said: "I don't know very well, I only know that she will leave Zhongdu with us tomorrow."

Yao Ji said: "The Imperial Concubine is here, what can you say?"

Cao Fu pondered for a moment and said, "I really don't know what the emperor is going to do, but Chen Xianzhen was still by the emperor's side just now. The emperor asked someone to summon her."

Yao Ji and Mu Zhen turned their heads at the same time and looked at each other. The two of them tacitly did not ask much, just waiting for Cao Fu to continue talking.
