381. Chapter 381 Flowers Are Poisonous
Ye Zhen finally saw Ye Yaoyao, the chess piece that Lu Lingzhi had hidden for several years.
Sure enough, she was as tall as a flower, like a hibiscus emerging from the water. She was a rare and stunning beauty. No wonder Mo Rongzhan was shaken in his heart, thinking that she was really his savior when he was a child. Such a beautiful girl, even if she was not a savior, let go Being pampered in the palace is also a pleasing thing.
Is Mo Rongzhan really not moved at all when he sees such a beauty? Do you really not want to summon Ye Yaoyao into the palace? Ye Zhen was a little suspicious.
"...These wild flowers are really beautiful." The Queen Mother looked at the wild flowers in Ye Yaoyao's basket and nodded with great fondness.
Ye Zhen glanced at the words and heard Ye Yaoyao say softly, "The Queen Mother, please put these flowers into the vase."
"Queen Mother, I brought you two pots of chrysanthemums. Although these wild flowers are pleasant, it is the time to enjoy chrysanthemums." Ye Zhen did not stop Ye Yaoyao, but whispered to the queen mother.
"The Ai family has forgotten that now is the time when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom. Then let someone bring the chrysanthemum king you brought to the Ai family to enjoy." The Queen Mother said immediately, losing interest in the wild flowers in Ye Yaoyao's hands.
Ye Yaoyao was a little stunned. She glanced at Ye Zhen. Doesn't Her Highness the Princess like her? Why... do you have to say this to your face?
Aunt Cheng asked someone to bring the chrysanthemum king brought by Ye Zhen, and immediately compared it with Ye Yaoyao's wild flowers.
"Is there a Flower Viewing Festival in Baiyuan Garden this year?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile, "The Ai family is not in Kyoto, but I don't know who organized this year's Flower Viewing Festival."
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "It seems to be the Chen family."
"It's quite suitable." The Queen Mother nodded lightly, suddenly remembering that her youngest son seemed to have come to Chengde Villa, "Where's Ayi, didn't he come to pay his respects to the Ai family? Where did he go?"
Aunt Cheng said with a smile, "The young prince came here just now. I heard that you were taking a lunch break, so he said he was going to hunt in the mountains."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly when she heard this, "He is really restless. He was thinking of asking the Ai family to send him back to the palace."
Ye Zhen knew that the Queen Mother was remembering what happened when she was hunting last time, "Mother, let me go find Ayi."
"Bring a few more people," the Queen Mother said, grabbing her hand.
"Yes, Queen Mother." Ye Zhen blinked, "Then you will wait for us to come back and eat game barbecue."
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Go ahead."
Ye Yaoyao had been watching blankly from the side. She didn't know how to interrupt. The Queen Mother and Lu Yaoyao seemed to be like a mother and daughter. She felt envious, but also felt a strange feeling welling up from the bottom of her heart. .
She heard that Lu Yaoyao was not from a high background. The Lu family used to be merchants. She... She was still imprisoned by the Lu family for so many years. Why could Lu Yaoyao be so unscrupulous in front of the Queen Mother? It seemed that she really She regarded herself as a princess, and although she was loved by the Queen Mother, she had always been cautious in front of the Queen Mother, for fear of making a little mistake. In the past, she did not feel that there was any difference between herself and Lu Yaoyao, but today she fully understood the difference between them. gap.
"Miss Ye, do you want to go together?" Ye Zhen walked a few steps and looked at Ye Yaoyao with a smile.
Ye Yaoyao's heart moved. She wanted to know what else Lu Yaoyao had that could make the Queen Mother and the Emperor love her so much. "Okay."
"Yao Yao, Yao'er can't ride a horse." The Queen Mother said helplessly.
"The Queen Mother, you just have to walk slowly. Recently... I have also learned to ride a horse recently." Ye Yaoyao said shyly.
The Queen Mother seemed to be a little surprised. She smiled and said, "Then go."
Ye Zhen and Ye Yaoyao walked out together. Yuping and Chunmei were waiting for their respective masters. When they saw them, they both came up to them.
"Girl, why did you bring these flowers out? Don't you like the Queen Mother? You picked them with great difficulty." Chunmei asked in surprise when she saw the basket in Ye Yaoyao's hand.
"Oh, today...the Queen Mother likes other flowers today." Ye Yaoyao replied in embarrassment.
Chunmei thought of the two pots of chrysanthemums that Aunt Cheng had just brought in. She glanced at Ye Zhen cautiously and whispered, "Girl, this slave will put these words in the room for you."
Ye Zhen originally didn't plan to say more, but when she heard what the little palace maid said, she felt that it would be a little bad not to say anything, "Miss Ye, these wild flowers are called oleanders, and they are poisonous. It's best to watch them from a distance. It’s still not suitable for playing around in the house or playing with it.”
"Poisonous?" Ye Yaoyao rounded her eyes and looked at the brightly colored wild flowers in the basket in disbelief, "How... how is it possible?"
"It's possible. Don't pick random wild flowers on the roadside." Ye Zhen smiled faintly and saw the little palace maid throwing the basket in her hand. "Don't be so afraid. As long as you don't eat it by mistake, you won't be poisoned."
Ye Yaoyao blushed with embarrassment. It turned out that Lu Yaoyao was trying to help her just now to prevent her from making a big mistake. He didn't mean to target her. "Princess, thank you very much just now. Otherwise...otherwise, I'm afraid I will make a big mistake." "
"It's nothing. If you don't mind, can you give these flowers to me?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile, "Although these are poisonous, they can be used as medicine after being prepared."
"Okay!" Ye Yaoyao nodded immediately, picked up the basket that was thrown on the ground, and handed it to Ye Zhen herself.
Yu Ping took the basket and said, "Thank you, Miss Ye."
Ye Zhen has been secretly observing Ye Yaoyao. If this girl is not innocent, then her scheming is deeper than imagined...
"Yao'er." Ye Zhen called her, "Can I call you that?"
"Okay." Ye Yaoyao nodded with a blushing face.
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile, "Do you really want to go into the woods with me to find the young prince? If you don't want to go, don't force me."
"It doesn't matter, I...I also want to learn how to hunt." Ye Yaoyao whispered. She heard that the emperor likes hunting the most, and she also wants to learn.
"Okay then, let's go pick up the horses first." Ye Zhen said, walking side by side with Ye Yaoyao, and asked as if unintentionally, "I heard that you have forgotten what happened before?"
Ye Yaoyao nodded gently, "Yes, except for what happened in the past few years, I can't remember what happened when I was a child."
"Then how do you know your name is Ye Yaoyao?" It's such a coincidence that you called such a confusing name.
"I... I only remember my name." Ye Yaoyao said sadly, "When I woke up, I forgot everything. I was always locked in the room, and no one except my grandma gave me food. Saw it."
Ye Zhen's eyes darkened slightly. She couldn't tell whether what Ye Yaoyao said was true or not, "Do you know who locked you in the room?"
