Qingyin was holding the teacup in her hand, not knowing whether to put it down or continue holding it.
Isn't this a striptease?
After the two Hu Ji finished their dance, they quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This dance was not something we two sisters came up with last night. We just didn't tell you because we thought it was not suitable for you, Your Majesty."
But the Empress Dowager's sincere words of gratitude yesterday have been lingering in the ears of my two sisters. The Empress Dowager is so good to us, but we still have selfish thoughts. This is really wrong.
Therefore, this morning, we decided to come and apologize to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother likes it, I will teach you everything I know."
Qingyin slowly put the teacup back on the table and asked the others, "Are you sisters?"
"Your Majesty, my sister and I are twins."
Qingyin looked at the two people's completely different faces and suddenly remembered that there is indeed a saying that two children are born from the same egg.
She waved her hand and said, "I have seen this dance. It is indeed very beautiful, but it is definitely not suitable for me. Thank you for your kindness."
The two knew that the Queen Mother did not want to learn.
But if they don't learn, they won't have a chance to stay.
"Empress Dowager, please listen to me. This dance does not have to be performed for others. I think Your Majesty Dowager really likes dancing. She learned it to please herself. Do you think I am right?" The twin sister said with a smile.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Just when the two thought there was no hope, they heard Qingyin slowly say, "That's indeed the truth. Then you should come over at the same time tomorrow as usual."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
The two of them said happily.
After the two of them left, Qiu Zhu couldn't help but advise for the first time, "Empress Dowager, isn't that dance a bit too seductive?"
She almost said it was immoral.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is a dance to seduce men.
How dare these two people come and fool the Queen Mother.
She could only sigh, thinking that the Queen Mother was still too weak and should have dragged the two of them out directly.
Qingyin looked at the newly dyed nail polish on her fingers and whispered, "Do you know why I didn't bring anyone with me after coming to the palace?"
Qiu Zhu didn't understand what he meant and shook her head, "I don't know."
"Because I feel that this deep palace is a place where people are eaten alive."
Qiu Zhu looked up in shock, and his eyeballs shook slightly.
Then he realized that he was being rude and quickly lowered his head.
Qingyin continued, "At that time, the late emperor was seriously ill. I entered the palace with the thought that if he really passed away one day, I would be buried with him. Those maids had served me since they were young, so how could I bear to let them accompany me?"
Qiu Zhu's heart was turned over and over again.
The Queen Mother was right, there was indeed cannibalism in this palace.
Come to think of it, she seems to be the only one left among those who entered the palace with her.
"Qiuzhu, do you know why I only chose you when the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent someone here?"
Qiu Zhu shook his head slightly.
She really didn't know.
At that time, she only sighed that she had a bad fate, but she also knew that if the late emperor passed away.
There is no guarantee that this empress dowager, who was crowned as the lucky star, would not be chosen by the late emperor to be buried with him.
If the empress dowager was buried with him, how could the palace maids escape?
Qingyin didn't reply, but just asked: "Is it time for you to leave the palace this year?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhu immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, yes."
This is also what she has been looking forward to for so many years in the palace.
Day after day, year after year.
After much anticipation, but...
Fortunately, now all the hardships have come to an end. The late emperor has passed away, the queen has become the empress dowager, and the new emperor is also very respectful to the empress dowager.
"Well, it's been delayed for a while this year, but it will be finalized before the New Year."
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Qiu Zhu was delighted.
However, when she retreated outside, she suddenly realized that the Queen Mother didn't seem to say why she pointed at her.
That's all.
The Queen Mother didn't say anything, so it must not be important.
Perhaps it was because of what Qingyin said today that Qiuzhu served her more attentively in the following days.
At that moment, I could still think about the fate of the maids.
The Queen Mother is a good person.
Qingyin, who was working hard to practice dancing, had no idea that she was labeled a good person.
As Qingyin's dancing became better and better day by day, Hu Ji and the other girl became more and more anxious.
They are already teaching very slowly.
After that, I met the emperor twice.
But the emperor just waved his hand coldly and told them to leave.
Not even a word was said.
Once the Queen Mother finishes her studies, they will no longer have a chance.
Maybe it's too urgent.
On the last day, when they met the emperor, they did not go out as usual.
Instead, she suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, we are the dancers of the Frost and Dew Pavilion. We learned a new dance a few days ago and would like to present it to Your Majesty."
The moment she raised her eyes, her gaze moved and she looked charming.
But Nangong Yuan's mind flashed with the little empress dowager's occasional charm that she didn't realize was charming. Comparing it with this deliberately exposed charm, he felt disgusted.
He retracted his gaze and said coldly: "Get out!"
When Qingyin changed her clothes and came out, she saw Hu Ji and the other two kneeling on the ground, while Nangong Yuan was sitting with a gloomy look on his face.
It was the first time she saw this expression on his face and she was startled.
Suddenly, a memory emerged in my mind of two palace maids I overheard chatting the day before yesterday. They said that Nangong Yuan had personally chopped off the head of an official.
At that time, she just heard it and didn't take it seriously.
Perhaps this is the usual Nangong Yuan.
Qingyin quickly collected her thoughts, not wanting Nangong Yuan to see. She pulled the corners of her lips together and asked with her usual smile, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
