I have never been so embarrassed even in a war, but I encountered it today.
Zhou Yunshen awkwardly changed the subject: "The Queen Mother's birthday is in seven days. This time, all nations will come to celebrate her birthday. Try to stay by my side and don't stray too far. I'm afraid someone will be so blind as to anger you."
"Husband, you look down on me a little bit. Your wife doesn't dare to say anything else, but she is first-class at getting angry. If you find someone you don't like, tell me and I can help you vent your anger."
"Really? My wife is so reliable!"
Zhou Yunshen's big hands rubbed her head...her hair was so smooth...
Seven days later, on the Queen Mother's birthday, before dawn, she was dragged out of bed to bathe and change clothes.
After dressing up, she also has to burn incense and do her nails.
Jiang Shuyue was groggy and her head kept drooping. Xiaotao led a group of maids to help her dress up.
Seeing that her head was about to fall again, Xiaotao grabbed her hair and lifted it up, then stuffed another piece of cake into her mouth.
Jiang Shuyue: "Xiao Tao, are you going to murder your young lady? This is the third cake. If you want me dead, just say it. Don't try to choke me to death. I'm in pain."
"Miss, you are talking nonsense again. It's only the fifth watch now. In two hours it will be time to enter the palace. You must eat well while you are at home. You won't have the chance to eat after entering the palace."
"How is that possible? Today is the Queen Mother's birthday, so it must be a buffet. How could there be nothing to eat?"
Xiaotao felt that the young lady was still too naive.
The lady got up at five o'clock in the morning, washed and dressed, and went into the palace to attend a banquet, but she also went to meet the concubines in each palace. It would take two or three hours to complete this round. Then she had to change into another set of clothes and wait for the empress dowager's birthday.
After entering the palace, you can't have a proper meal. All you have are snacks prepared by the ladies in each palace. How can you possibly eat your fill?
Xiao Tao held Jiang Shuyue's face and said, "Miss, this is all for your own good. If you can eat, eat as much as you can. If you can't eat anymore, take a rest. I've brought some food for you in the carriage."
Jiang Shuyue closed her eyes, moved her mouth, and complained wildly in her heart.
"It's just a drink, why go through so much trouble? I'm exhausted!"
Huahua: [The villain didn't bother you yesterday. He even coaxed you to bed early so you'd be energetic today. Why are you still so listless?]
Jiang Shuyue: [It's all this damn biological clock! Back in the day, I was a good-natured person, working from sunrise to sunset. Now he's made me sleep only when the moon does. I'm shoulder to shoulder with the moon. I'm helpless!]
Jiang Shuyue sighed deeply.
Everyone was helpless.
They also want this kind of life, but unfortunately they can't do it.
Jiang Shuyue was beaten up in a daze. When Xiaotao helped her out, she could hear a faint snoring sound.
Zhou Yunshen, Yu Hou and others were already waiting at the entrance of the hall.
When they saw Jiang Shuyue, they were stunned.
On the one hand, I was amazed at how beautiful she looked today.
On the other hand, it was because... they had never seen anyone walk out while sleeping!
Zhou Sesheng whispered, "Is mother asleep? Is she really asleep?"
"No...at least I've never seen anyone walking while asleep."
Zhou Luming leaned over to take a closer look. His breathing was even and deep. He poked his face, but there was no movement.
Xiao Tao said awkwardly, "Miss, there's no need to look. She is indeed asleep."
"Asleep? Then how did mother get here?"
Xiao Tao is even more embarrassed...
She took out a chicken leg, put it in front of Jiang Shuyue's nose and moved it, and her steps swayed with the chicken leg.
Yu Qing was filled with emotion: "There's actually such a method. I've learned a lot!"
"Why do I feel like this girl looks a lot like the corpse-carrier from Xiangxi?"
Yu Hou nudged Madam Yu and said with a wink, "How can this be compared? How unlucky!"
"Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing. Now let's..."
Before Madam Yu Hou finished her words, Zhou Yunshen had already picked up Jiang Shuyue.
She seems to have grown a little rounder these days, and it's not so awkward to hold her in my arms anymore.
The carriage moved forward slowly and it took half an hour to reach the palace gate.
At this time, two long lines had formed at the palace gate.
"Master, we've arrived at the palace gate. Please wait a moment while I send a token through the special passage."
Zhou Yunshen said softly, "No, get in line."
"queue?"
Qiye was stunned. Now they had to queue up to go through the palace gate. Every convoy had to be checked, and it would take at least an hour before they could get in.
Zhou Yunshen also understood this principle.
But when he saw Jiang Shuyue sleeping soundly on his legs, he felt it was worth it.
"Let Yu Hou and the children go in first. We'll go line up and ask them to keep their voices down."
"yes."
Qiye drove the carriage to the back and lined up. When everyone saw the lanterns of the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, they naturally shut up.
She slept like this for another hour.
When I woke up, I stretched comfortably.
[I slept so well! They say a nap is the most refreshing, and it's true! I feel refreshed now!]
Huahua: [You really look refreshed, and your husband's legs are really numb. Zhou Yunshen is indeed a martial artist. Only a warrior with strong leg muscles like him can keep you awake for an hour.]
Jiang Shuyue: ???
[I slept with my head resting on his legs? I was wondering why his neck was so stiff. We should hire a masseur who specializes in relaxing my husband after exercise.]
Huahua: ...exercise...
After the beating at night, Huahua could no longer bear to look at these two words.
"Oh, isn't this the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan who has been so popular recently? My name is Jiang Huayue, and I am honored to meet the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan."
Jiang Shuyue had just woken up and before she knew what was happening, she saw a woman in orange clothes walking towards her.
At first glance, she was a little confused: [Huahua, look! It's an orange spirit!]
Huahua: [What orange spirit? She's a native human. Do you remember the girl named Jiang Huayue in the book? The one who killed his wife for his concubine and had an idiot husband.]
She didn't recall the plot for a long time, and only remembered it after thinking for a long time.
Jiang Shuyue: [Oh~~ I remember now. He was my grandfather's protégé, and later defected to the Fourth Brother. He later became a spy and killed my grandfather and my eldest and second uncles!]
Huahua: [That's right~ This Jiang Huayue, her husband is your grandfather's protégé, Liu Cheng. This Jiang Huayue, nominally Liu Cheng's cousin, is actually his lover, picked up from a small-town brothel.]
My cousin again...
When did my cousin become so mean...
Jiang Shuyue instantly lost her good impression of her.
"Jiang Yue? Sorry, I've never heard of you. Besides, your name has a strong scent of cosmetics, and it feels like a custom from a certain place. May I ask who you are from?"
