Chapter 382 Rumors 4
"What do you mean? You are a favorite of the Queen, so you must be better at reading people's expressions. How can I explain it to you directly?" Bai Huahua said sarcastically.
The eunuch's face darkened slightly. He suppressed his dissatisfaction and tried his best to maintain an official smile, with a subtle threat in his tone.
"Mr. Bai Ping, who dares not obey the Queen's order? If the Pavilion Master does not go today, I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to act in the palace in the future."
After hearing this, Bai Huahua did not retreat, but became even more determined.
Although her voice was light, it was powerful: "You are wrong, eunuch. My mistress is a court official, not a concubine, let alone an ordinary woman. She is concerned about your majesty.
If the Queen truly cares about the sisterly love, she will understand the Pavilion Master's difficulties.
As for what will happen in the future, my master has always acted uprightly and has a clear conscience, so why should he be afraid of what others say?"
These words not only made Yao Jia's position clear, but also cleverly turned the topic directly to the court, making it impossible for the eunuch to refute.
He glared at Bai Huahua angrily, "Humph, what an upright person, with a clear conscience! In that case, I will return to the palace and see what the queen decides."
He flicked his whisk, turned around and was about to leave, with a sinister look in his eyes.
Yao Jia stepped forward and smiled gently, "Eunuch, take care. Please tell the Queen that Nangong Jiayao is grateful for her concern, but now that she is pregnant, it is not appropriate for her to go out. When the child is born safely, I will come to the palace in person to thank you."
The eunuch stopped, turned around, looked at Yao Jia deeply, then turned and left.
Only after the eunuchs and their group had gone away did Bai Huahua heave a sigh of relief, turn around and help Yao Jia go back, and start to take credit along the way.
"Yaoyao, was my response just now considered decent?"
He blinked his peach blossom eyes, waiting for compliments with anticipation.
Yao Jia chuckled, her eyes full of praise: "Hua Hua did a great job. Facing the Queen's invitation, we must both respect her and not compromise ourselves. I always trust you to do things."
Bai Huahua raised her eyebrows proudly, and then returned to her usual caution: "However, this queen may not be so easy to get rid of. We still need to make plans early."
Yao Jia nodded, "You're right, but after thinking about it, I still don't understand why Qi Shu is making things difficult for me."
"Why else?" Ye Sinan jumped out of his yard with a gloomy face.
When someone came from the palace, Yao Jia was afraid that he would get impulsive and beat those people up, so she asked Huaichuan and Langyue to keep a close eye on him. She only let him out after hearing their voices.
"Did you seduce someone's husband, so they went to great lengths to get you into the palace and denounce you?"
Yao Jia held her pregnant belly and strode forward, "You're talking nonsense! If I wanted to hook up with Xiao Fengyi, I would have become the Imperial Master a long time ago. Why would I need to deal with Qi Shu?"
He kicked him on the calf and said, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. You will not be able to sleep with me!"
Ye Sinan rubbed his calf in pain, looking aggrieved and secretly annoyed, muttering softly: "Isn't this just because I'm worried about you? Qi Shu is jealous, you know that."
Yao Jia paused. Yes, what Ye Sinan said made sense, but she and Xiao Fengyi were indeed innocent and had no intention of crossing the line.
Why did Qi Shu suddenly become so interested in her that she even used her authority as queen to invite her into the palace?
Yao Jia frowned, her heart full of doubts.
Song Wei has met Xiao Fengyi more times than she has, so why did Qi Shu point the finger at her?
I always feel that she does this for other purposes.
Yao Jia gently stroked her pregnant belly. The child was the most important thing at the moment, and no one could let her leave the house.
In the following days, Yao Jia lived a life that was both peaceful and full of vigilance.
She strictly followed Nanshan's instructions, and except for necessary affairs in the mansion, she hardly left the house, and rested in peace. The people in the Nangong mansion also took good care of her, fearing that there would be any mishaps.
Qi Shu came to invite Yao Jia several times, but was rejected every time. Then she stopped for a while.
However, the peaceful days did not last long.
Rumors about Yao Jia began to spread in the capital.
Some people said that she was arrogant and disrespectful to the queen because of her favor.
Some people hinted that she had a close relationship with His Majesty and had ill intentions.
In addition, news came from other sources that she was having an affair with the Emperor of Liang. During the negotiations in Xinyue City, the two of them called each other sisters on the surface, but in fact they were secretly having an affair.
These rumors spread like wildfire, quickly spreading among the major mansions, teahouses and taverns in the capital, making Nangong Mansion and Tianxing Pavilion the focus of public attention.
Although Yao Jia was in the mansion, she had heard about it, but she was a thick-skinned person and didn't care at all.
He chuckled, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, his eyes revealing a bit of disdain and indifference.
There have been even more disgusting rumors in previous lives.
It was said that she bullied women and men, was extremely licentious, and that all the male favorites in Tianxing Pavilion were her alternative lovers.
There were even more rumors that she had snatched a man in the street, dragged him into a carriage, and raped him. The handsome man's cries shocked three streets, and the rumor was so miraculous.
Even a dog's barking can't be heard that far.
"Humph! Bullshit rumors, what can they do to me? This Pavilion Master has boundless charm. Wait a few years, and there will be more exciting legends than this."
Although she didn't care, Ye Sinan couldn't sit still.
With his brows furrowed and his fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound, he paced back and forth in the room.
"No, I'm going to kill those who spread the rumors. If these rumors get to Xiao Fengyi's ears, I'm afraid it will be bad for you."
Yao Jia put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this rumor has already reached his ears. I'm afraid the whole court is filled with memorials impeaching me."
“How come you see?”
Lang Yue was puzzled. Yao Jia had not stepped out of the mansion for some time, and he had heard these rumors from the servants' gossip.
Yao Jia raised her eyebrows slightly, "You haven't noticed that Sanlang has rarely attended court these days? I guess he beat up the person who impeached me, and was kept in office by Xiao Fengyi for investigation."
"It's such a satisfying thing, but that kid didn't even call me! I'm going to kill him as a warning to the rest, and see if they dare to bark again."
Although Ye Sinan's tone was angry, he once again looked up to Gu Xiyan in his heart.
Bai Huahua also echoed, "What Anan said is right. Those bands of bandwagon dogs are not busy dealing with the snowstorm in the northwest, but are working on these trivial matters. They really don't know what they are doing."
"No wonder Xi Yan didn't wear his official uniform when he went out these past few days. This is the reason. If he doesn't want to go, he won't go. He will have to resign next year anyway. Now he can focus on shipbuilding."
Lang Yue handed the peeled orange to Yao Jia and said with a smile, "You are still so careless. I was still thinking about how to comfort Xi Yan."
At this moment, the door curtain was suddenly blown by a gust of wind. Huaichuan looked up and saw that a corner of the door curtain was gently lifted by the wind, and there seemed to be a figure standing there.
"Who's there?"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had flashed to the door and opened the door curtain, revealing it was actually Du Wenpo.
Seeing that it was her, Huaichuan put down his guard and asked, "Why is Aunt Du here? Didn't you say that the Pavilion Master's fetal position is very normal and there is no need for daily routine check-ups?"
Mrs. Du smiled lovingly and took off a package from her body.
"This old servant and I have had a lot of free time these days, so we made some small toys and clothes for the young master. We sent them here earlier and asked the Pavilion Master to place them by the bedside so that they can be smelled. When the young master is born, he will be placed in her arms so that she can sleep comfortably."
Yao Jia felt warm in her heart. She let Bai Huahua help her stand up and walked over with a smile.
"Thank you for your concern, Madam Du. I haven't even given birth yet, but you've already prepared toys for the baby."
Grandma Du hurriedly stepped forward, handed the package in her hand to Lang Yue, and looked at Yao Jia's pregnant belly with a smile in her eyes.
"I can tell from looking at the Pavilion Master's baby that he is a blessed one, so I will naturally prepare more."
