Thousands of miles are not as good as you

"Miss, these are lychees that were just delivered this morning. The empress sent someone to send them here." Chunjing came in with a plate of lychees that had been peeled and pitted. Couldn't help but slur.

Seeing this, Li Qiu got up from the imperial concubine's bed with a gulp, took one from the plate, squinted his eyes and tasted it.

After the weather got hotter, Ye Tan came back to take a nap at noon, and went to Wenyuan Pavilion after waking up.After one or two times, Li Qiu did not return to Lingzhi Palace, and followed Ye Tan to Changle Palace every day, and even slept with Ye Tan on the same bed.

How dare Ye Tan?So he gave up the bed to Li Qiu, and took a nap on the imperial concubine's couch by the window.

Seeing that Ye Tan was sleeping comfortably, Li Qiu thought that Ye Tan would find a place to sleep under this window, where the breeze is fresh and comfortable, so she wanted to sleep with Ye Tan on the imperial concubine's couch.

The concubine's couch was three points smaller than the bed, Ye Tan was even more unwilling, and finally had to ask someone to add another couch for Li Qiu, and Li Qiu gave up.

Coincidentally, since Li Qiu began to take a nap here at Ye Tan, Su Qingqing suddenly began to deliver fruits to Ye Tan. Not many people were assigned, Ye Tan didn't even get any points because he didn't have any status, Su Qingqing probably got quite a few, but it wasn't much.

After eating one, Li Qiu took another from the plate.She held the lychee in her hand, but didn't eat it. She stared at the lychee for a while, then looked at Ye Tan: "Tell me, what exactly is Su Qingqing trying to do? If you talk about the fruits that were delivered a few days ago, I can still understand, but this lychee is her favorite! There are not many palaces, and the plate she sent you is probably more than what she left behind."

Ye Tan also picked up a lychee and fed it to his mouth. After eating, he replied: "Maybe, she wants to form an alliance with me to deal with Concubine Cen?"

Li Qiu shook her head and said disdainfully: "How can she be so smart? What's more, the fact that she formed an alliance with you against Concubine Cen is more convincing to me than her alliance with Concubine Cen against you. After all, to her, appearance is more important .”

"Then why is she?"

Li Qiu seemed to ponder deeply for a while, then said leisurely: "I see behind her, there must be an expert pointing out."

"A master?" Ye Tan said, "You mean the Empress Dowager?"

"No, no." Li Qiu stretched out a finger and waved it slightly in front of Ye Tan, "In my opinion, it is very likely to be Su Yu."

"Su Yu?" Although Ye Tan had seen Su Yu's face, he really didn't know who Su Yu was.

Li Qiu looked at Ye Tan in surprise: "You don't know Su Yu."

Ye Tan shook his head blankly, could it be that he should know him?

"Oh! Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. How can you be so indifferent to the internal situation of the enemy?" After Li Qiu finished speaking, he began to talk to Ye Tan about the situation of the Su family.

"Su Qi is now an extremely human minister, and he can be said to be on an equal footing with the emperor in terms of power, but the Su family 20 years ago was on the decline.

"The Su family can have what it is today, all because Su Ying climbed to the queen's position, one person won the Tao, and the chicken dog ascended to heaven! In addition, Su Qi won the first prize in the year after Su Yingfeng. They are two brothers and sisters, one former court, one The harem has only gradually strengthened the Su family. However, it is said that the number one scholar that year should not have belonged to Su Qi, and the previous emperor had made a decision before the palace examination that a student named Gu Qian should be selected as the number one scholar."

"Gu Qian?" Hearing this, Ye Tan couldn't help interrupting. This person had the same name as Mr. Gu.

Li Qiu was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and was sure that it was the name she heard, and nodded in affirmation.

"And then?" Ye Tan asked.

"Then..." Li Qiu said, "Then Su Qi got the news and used his power to overwhelm others. Gu Qian suddenly disappeared before the palace examination, and in the end, the title of number one scholar fell on Su Qi's head. "

"And that Su Yu." Li Qiu moved closer to Ye Tan, although there was no one in front of her, but she still lowered her voice a lot, "That Su Yu is better than Su Qi, not worse."

"What?" Ye Tan listened.

"Mrs. Lin's son, Lin Qing'an, was an examinee in the same year as Su Yu. When the results of the imperial examination came out, the imperial brother originally named Lin Qing'an as the first name, but before he could make an order, Lin Qing'an died suddenly in the inn. Although the incident was not resolved back then, but I heard from Brother Huang that the case of Lin Qing was killed by Su Yu, but this matter was suppressed by the Su family, so few people knew about it." After Li Qiu said, she felt a little regretful If the Lin Qing case is still there, I'm afraid it has become Yin Sheng's right arm and right arm.

Li Qiu was silent for a while, and then said again: "Let's talk about Su Qingqing, she has been determined to be a queen since she was a child, she has never been lawless, and the Su family loves her very much, and her temper is even more domineering, but there is one The exception is Su Yu. In this Su family, the only person who can control her is Su Yu. You see, the queen mother asked Su Qingqing to win me over, but I only shut her down a few times before she ignored me. But as for you, although you are polite, you are also repulsive, but she has persisted for almost a month, and she still hasn't flinched. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Su Yu is behind the scenes, you We must be careful, we are not afraid of her forming an alliance, but we are afraid of her holding her breath and playing tricks!"

Ye Tan nodded, and his defense against Su Qingqing was a few layers deeper. He couldn't help wondering whether the things Su Qingqing sent were for forming an alliance or for urging his life.

Ye Tan lowered his head, looked at the empty plate, and sighed, no matter what the reason was, he and Li Qiu had already divided up this thing, so he had to ask Ye Shaomiao to feel his pulse.

When Li Qiu heard this, she stood up nervously: "I, should I hide?"

Ye Tan laughed, she didn't expect Li Qiu to be nervous.He shook his head: "No, just ask brother to check the pulse."

"Are you uncomfortable?" Li Qiu stretched out her hand to touch Ye Tan's forehead, and then compared to her own.

Ye Tan took Li Qiu's hand away, and said with a smile: "You also said that we should be careful with Su Qingqing and the others, but we don't eat less of the food she sent. To be on the safe side, let brother feel the pulse." .”

Li Qiu didn't feel that Su Qingqing was so courageous, daring to kill her so blatantly, but there was no guarantee that Su Yu would not dare.

The two waited for less than half an hour before Ye Shaomiao came. When he entered the door and saw Li Qiu there, he thought it was Li Qiu acting as a demon again, and his face immediately turned a little bit bad.

Seeing this, Ye Tan hurriedly said: "Brother is here, I feel a little uncomfortable, please come and see, Princess Liqiu has been with me for a long time."

Hearing this, Ye Shaomiao's face became slightly relieved, and he asked Ye Tan to stretch out his hand to feel Ye Tan's pulse.

After giving Ye Tan the pulse, Ye Shaomiao glanced at Li Qiu, hesitating slightly.

Li Qiu hurriedly said: "I'll go outside for a walk!"

"Wait!" Ye Tan called Li Qiu, and said to Ye Shaomiao, "The princess is not an outsider, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Ye Shaomiao also knew that Li Qiu was on Yin Cheng's side, so he paused for a moment, and just about to speak, Li Qiu hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'll go outside for a walk, walk." the door.

Li Qiu wanted to leave, Ye Shaomiao naturally wouldn't stop him, but he didn't wait for Li Qiu to go out before speaking.On the way to the door, Li Qiu heard Ye Shaomiao say: "You are in good health, come to me, but what's the matter?"

Ye Tan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was all right, but he didn't want to worry Ye Shaomiao, so he shook his head: "It's all right, I just felt a bit of a headache, so I invited my brother here."

"Really?" Ye Shaomiao didn't believe it.

Ye Tan nodded hurriedly: "Really!"

Ye Shaomiao knew that Ye Tan was afraid that he would be worried, so he sighed: "It's fine if you don't tell me, but if something really happens, remember to tell me."

Ye Tan responded, although Ye Shaomiao was worried, but he had no other choice.

When Ye Shaomiao went out, Li Qiu was guarding the door, Ye Tan deliberately didn't come out to see them off, and specially gave Li Qiu and Ye Shaomiao space.

Ye Shaomiao didn't want to talk to Li Qiu, but he took two steps and finally stopped.

Seeing that Ye Shaomiao had no intention of talking to her at all, Li Qiu felt a little sad, but who knew that Ye Shaomiao had just taken two steps, and then retreated back, and his heart suddenly jumped up.

Ye Shaomiao looked at Li Qiu with some embarrassment: "Tan Nu, Princess Lao will take care of you."

Li Qiu hurriedly said: "It should be, it should be."

"Then...thank you, princess." Ye Shaomiao bowed to Li Qiu, intentionally avoiding Li Qiu's gaze, and said softly, "I am taking my leave."

"Oh." Li Qiu replied in a low voice, she wanted to talk to Ye Shaomiao a few more words, but she was afraid of annoying him, so she could only shut up in a dull manner.

It's June, the weather is getting hotter, Ye Tan doesn't want to go out too lazy, just stays in Changle Palace and doesn't go out anymore, Li Qiu also seldom runs here.

This day, Ye Tan was asleep on the couch, vaguely heard someone talking, and after a while, he heard Zi Yun calling him to get up.

"Miss Ye, Miss Ye." Zi Yun called Ye Tan softly, and only said after Ye Tan woke up, "The empress said that the newly hired chef of Fengyi Palace made a dessert to cool off the summer heat, and invited the young lady to come and taste it together."

Ye Tan regained his composure, and just as he was about to refuse, Zi Yun said again: "The empress has said, please go over there by all means, and discuss important matters with the lady."

Ye Tan froze for a moment, his heart finally came, and he responded immediately.

Ye Tan stood up, rinsed his mouth and cleansed his face, and originally wanted to take Ziyun with him, but then he thought, if Su Qingqing had some conspiracy, wouldn't it be difficult to get out?So he took Nianjiu with him, and the three of them went to Fengyi Palace together.

When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, Su Qingqing had already prepared desserts, and when she saw Ye Tan coming, she stood up to greet her.

Ye Tan bowed to Su Qingqing, Su Qingqing quickly helped Ye Tan up, took Ye Tan's hand, and led him into the main hall.

Su Qingqing's hands were slightly damp, slightly different from the hot sweat in summer, Su Qingqing's hands were slightly cold.

Ye Tan pulled out her hand uncomfortably, already vigilant in her heart, Su Qingqing, what is she nervous about?

"Come on, sit down." After Su Qingqing led Ye Tan to sit down, she served dessert.

There was a layer of ice slag on the bottom of the dessert, and seasonal fruits and red beans on top. Su Qingqing picked up the spoon and tasted her own first, and made an expression of enjoyment. When she finished eating, Ye Tan didn't respond , and said to Ye Tan: "Try it quickly, this is a dessert developed by the new cook, and I am the first one to think of you. Is it possible that you are still afraid that I will poison you?"

Su Qingqing's words have already reached this point, and Ye Tan can't refuse anymore, and the fruit Su Qingqing sent to Changle Palace has never been drugged, so it shouldn't be possible to do harm in her bedroom, so Then she picked up the spoon and followed Su Qingqing's example, feeding the dessert into her mouth and eating it.

Su Qingqing held the spoon tightly in her hand, watched Ye Tan's expression change from hesitant to firm, and then watched Ye Tan eat the dessert in bites, her tense heartstrings were finally relaxed, and a smug smile could not help but appear on the corner of her mouth. It was in vain for her to endure humiliation for so long, and she finally looked forward to today.

At this moment, Qingning came in from outside the hall and said to Su Qingqing: "Madam, Uncle Guo... is here."
