Chapter 92 Knowing there are tigers in the mountain, but not going there

The maid knelt on the ground and struggled again, but it was of no use.

She knew that Ziying was someone who could not be explained to her, and immediately turned her eyes to Cheng Jin.

"My queen, I came here on the orders of my master. What do you mean by treating me like this?"

She knew this maid, she was Qu Wanxin's personal maid.

Cheng Jin was resting her head with her hands and closing her eyes. She went to pay respects early in the morning and was very sleepy.

But Cheng Jin's look in Yunhuan's eyes meant that Cheng Jin was unwilling to listen to her, which confirmed her image of a noble concubine who looked down on others and was spoiled.

But now Cheng Jin was really favored, and her master seemed to have been forgotten by the emperor.

Qu Wanxin was brought into the palace by the emperor himself. Concubine

Rong only temporarily attracted the emperor's attention by relying on her foxy skills.

Others may not know whether Cheng Jin was too arrogant to listen, but Cuizhu standing next to her knew it clearly. She quietly patted Cheng Jin's shoulder and called her softly.

Cheng Jin came back to her senses and looked serious again.

"What did you say you came for?"

Cuizhu: "..."

Yunhuan: "..."

Cuizhu reminded quietly, "Noble Hui asked you to come."

Cheng Jin nodded and winked at Ziying, who immediately realized it and threw Yunhuan to the ground. Yunhuan

cried out in pain after being thrown down, stood up, turned around and glared at Ziying, as if she wanted to say something unpleasant.

Cheng Jinsi didn't give Yunhuan any chance and said coldly, "It's my idea. What do you think she will do?"

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out."

Yunhuan looked at Cheng Jin tremblingly and replied, "My master said that the last incident was a misunderstanding and wronged the queen. She asked the queen to go to the back garden to cook wine in person tomorrow to apologize." Cheng Jin

frowned slightly and found that something was wrong.

She wanted to apologize, but she didn't come herself, but asked the maid beside her to come.

In this cold winter, why should she go to the back garden to cook wine instead of staying in the palace?

I'm afraid there is a trap waiting for her.

Cheng Jin immediately refused and answered crisply, "No."

[Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, I don't go.]

[Does Qu Wanxin take me for a fool? Just let me go and I will go?

Yunhuan was stunned for a moment, this was different from what the Empress Dowager said.

Cheng Jin glanced at Yunhuan, "You're not leaving after you've finished talking? Wait for me to ask you to leave?" Yunhuan

reacted and immediately staggered out of Chunhe Palace.

As soon as Yunhuan walked out of the door, she saw Qu Wanxin waiting outside the door. Qu Wanxin asked, "What's the matter? Is Concubine Rong going?"

Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Qu Wanxin, and shook her head with tears in her eyes, "No, Concubine Rong also said that she would throw me out."

In fact, Qu Wanxin had guessed it when Yunhuan went in. Cheng Jin was not a fool, so how could she be willing to go? It sounded like a trap.

Qu Wanxin then asked Yunhuan to go in alone and waited outside.

Although Cheng Jin is not a thoughtful person, her temperament is the most difficult to figure out. Her original body had suffered a lot of torture from her before, and now she is still as bad-tempered as before, and she even wants to throw Yunhuan out.

Although Qu Wanxin was disappointed, she still left here with Yunhuan and went to report to

the Queen Mother. Xu Jilin seemed to have expected it a long time ago. She nodded and said, "You will still go to the back garden tomorrow, and I will arrange the rest."

Although Qu Wanxin didn't quite believe it in her heart, she still agreed.

Cheng Jin doesn't want to come, can Xu Jilin tie her up?

But no matter what, with her relationship with Chu Huaian, Xu Jilin will not harm her anyway.

Not long after Yunhuan left, Cheng Jin couldn't help but feel sleepy and went to sleep in the inner room.

It is said that palace fighting is very time-consuming. She felt exhausted just by thinking about it.

In her heart, Cheng Jin was not willing to completely break up with Qu Wanxin. Although they came from different time and space, they were both women who had received modern education. Qu Wanxin might be as tired of the palace's intrigue as she was.

If she told Qu Wanxin that she was also a time traveler, they might become good friends and drink tea and eat melons together.

Cheng Jin was thinking far ahead and fell asleep soon.

Chu Chengye came to Chunhe Palace at this time.

Usually, Cheng Jin went to Jingyang Palace, or Chu Chengye asked Cheng Jin to pick her up. Chu Chengye seldom came to Chunhe Palace by himself.

After he entered Chunhe Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs knelt down.

Seeing that the door of the bedroom was closed and Cheng Jin was not there, Chu Chengye turned his head to look at Cuizhu.

Cuizhu said, "The queen is taking a nap now."

Cuizhu loves palace fighting so much, so she naturally knows a lot about the palace rules. This time, she woke up Cheng Jin so that Cheng Jin could accompany Chu Chengye to talk, so as to leave a good impression on Chu Chengye and keep his favor.

But Cheng Jin got up so early today and didn't eat much for lunch. Hui Guiren's Yunhuan came to ruin her mood. Cheng Jin just went to bed now, so she naturally wanted Cheng Jin to sleep more.

So Cuizhu only said that Cheng Jin was sleeping, but she didn't mean to wake her up at all.

Chu Chengye nodded, but didn't say anything, and walked inside.

Cuizhu plucked up her courage to stop Chu Chengye, kneeling on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"Your Majesty is not feeling well today. She didn't get enough rest last night. She went to the Empress Dowager's palace to pay her respects at noon, and didn't eat much for lunch. She just got time to sleep now. Your Majesty should go somewhere else first. When you wake up, I will naturally tell you that the emperor has been here."

Chu Chengye frowned slightly, "Feeling unwell?"

Cuizhu didn't get the expected anger, but she was surprised that Chu Chengye caught the key point at once.

She talked for such a long time, but this sentence was a lie.

Cuizhu thought to herself.

Cheng Jin was reading the storybook until midnight yesterday, and she was right, but the emperor was too meticulous.

But the words had already been said, Cuizhu could only answer with a stiff upper lip.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I didn't get enough rest."

Chu Chengye was relieved, and instead of going to Cheng Jin's bedroom, he turned around and went to the main hall.

"Tell me when Concubine Rong wakes up, and I'll go see her."

Cuizhu nodded in agreement.

Chu Chengye entered the main hall of Chunhe Palace. There was nothing special about it, except that there were some food on the table.

Chu Chengye looked at these beautiful and pink pastries and became suspicious.

What on earth is so delicious about these things?

Where did Cheng Jin put them?

Last time, she just gave him a purple plum, and he was so distressed that he couldn't stand it.

Chu Chengye thought of the way Cheng Jin ate.

Although Cheng Jin is often afraid of this and that, she prefers to be polite on the surface. She is afraid that she cannot do other things, but she is the best at eating. Cheng Jin’s

eating manners are not bad, and her every move is that of a lady from a noble family. However, no matter how dignified her behavior is, it cannot hide her nature of being a foodie.

Although she doesn’t say anything when she eats something delicious, she even squints her eyes happily, and I’m afraid others don’t know how happy she is.

However, when Chu Chengye is around, Cheng Jin will be more concealed, especially when meeting Chu Chengye’s eyes, she will usually sit more upright.

She dares to eat, but she speeds up the chewing movements, like a hamster.
