Qingyin choked, "You heard wrong."
Nangong Yuan stared at her and strode towards her.
Qingyin's scalp tingled from being stared at. Fortunately, Nangong Yuan stopped when he was two steps away from her and asked, "Why didn't you send anyone to look for me these days?"
Qingyin choked again, "Your Majesty, why do you still ask when you already know the answer? I've already been willful once, and I shouldn't do it again now."
Aijia?
She has been calling herself a concubine all this time.
Nangong Yuan stared into her eyes and said, "Do you want to end it?"
Qingyin turned her face away slightly, "Your Majesty? Do you want to end it?"
Nangong Yuan felt that he was really stupid.
Why ask these questions? It will only make yourself unhappy.
He bent down, hugged Qingyin around the waist, and walked straight to the inner room at the back.
Qingyin's headdress was shaken and swayed. "Your Majesty, people will see us."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone waiting outside lowered their heads.
Nangong Yuan strode into the inner room and gently threw the person onto the recliner. "That day, I really liked this place."
Before Qingyin could open her mouth, her lips were held.
She had no choice but to point her finger at the window to remind him to close it.
Nangong Yuan didn't care, "Just turn it on, it won't be cold."
Is this a cold thing?
How can you not close the window in broad daylight?
Nangong Yuan was unhappy that she was still paying attention to other things at this time, so he directly pulled a ribbon to cover her eyes.
…
…
These days.
Nangong Yuan would come before lunch, under the pretext of accompanying her for lunch.
In fact, he treated her as food, or perhaps also a dish.
At night, he went to accompany Mulan Yan again.
Qingyin couldn't help but joke one day, "Your Majesty is so busy every day, can your body still bear it?"
Unexpectedly, Nangong Yuan immediately let her see what it meant to be able to bear it.
Anyway, she didn't know whether he could bear it or not.
She really couldn't bear it anymore.
Another half month passed like this.
Mulan Yan took the initiative to ask to see her.
Qingyin glanced at the flowers in the hall and said to Qiuzhu, "Put those flowers in the inner room."
Qiu Zhu suddenly realized it at this moment, and she looked at Qingyin fiercely.
Qingyin knew what she wanted to ask, so she comforted her, "Don't worry."
Although the Queen Mother was relieved, how could she be at ease?
The first time she held the pot of flowers with some joy, but now, she wanted to throw it away immediately.
well!
I was really careless. There is no woman in the harem who is truly pure and kind.
Later she...
Qiu Zhu was a little dazed. Is there a future?
In less than twenty days, she would be leaving the palace.
Qiu Zhu looked around the house and finally found a place far away from the bedroom.
But she was still a little worried, so she found several pots of flowers to block it.
Although doing so may seem a bit like trying to cover up one's own faults, it can provide some psychological comfort.
After Mulan Yan came in, she smiled more than before, and her brows became more charming.
You can tell at first glance that it is well moisturized.
Qingyin looked her over and asked, "How come the noble concubine has time to come here today?"
Mulan Yan turned around and looked around before she said, "Your Majesty, I do have something to ask for your decision today."
"Tell me about it." Qingyin tapped the lid of the teacup gently and said softly.
Mulanyan's eyes curved, "I heard that a monk from India recently came to Xiangguo Temple to preach. I heard that he has profound teachings. So, I have a humble request." She raised her eyes to look at Qingyin and continued, "Could you please invite the Queen Mother to go with me to Xiangguo Temple to worship Buddha?"
Before Qingyin could speak, Mulanyan continued, "I want to ask for a peace amulet for the emperor, and by the way..." As she spoke, she looked at her belly with a smile on her face.
Qingyin understood everything, and it was a good opportunity for her to see why Mulanyan specially invited her.
She pretended to think about it before nodding, "Your Highness is thoughtful. I wonder when you plan to go?"
Mulan Yan smiled and said, "Of course the sooner the better. This Indian monk has been here for several days. Such monks' whereabouts are unpredictable. Let's not go there, he has already left." She said the latter part in a light-hearted and joking tone.
Qingyin nodded again, "Since it's getting better, why not do it tomorrow."
Mulan Yan tried hard to suppress the joy in her heart. Before coming here, she thought it would take a lot of effort, but she didn't expect it to be so easy.
She spoke to Qingyin for a few more words, and then pretended to ask casually, "I've been here for a long time, why haven't I seen Qiuzhu?"
Mulanyan glanced at Qingyin furtively and quickly explained, "The last time Qiuzhu came to my palace, I felt she was quite compatible with me. So, I have a humble request. Could you please let Qiuzhu come over and help me for a few days? I'm new here and don't quite understand many of the customs and etiquette of the Northern Dynasty. It would be great if an experienced old lady from the palace could help me."
After saying that, he lowered his head, as if he was really embarrassed.
Just at this moment, Qiu Zhu came out from the inner room, saw Mu Lanyan, and greeted her.
Qingyin looked at Qiuzhu and said jokingly, "It's just right that you're here. The imperial concubine just asked you to serve in her palace for a few days. I was just about to refuse. Your time in the palace won't last long, and I can't bear to let you go."
Qiu Zhu quickly bowed, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will indeed be leaving the palace soon."
Mulan Yan pretended to be surprised, "Leaving the palace?"
Qingyin gestured for Qiuzhu to stand next to her, and then said, "Yes, every year the palace releases a group of palace maids, and Qiuzhu happens to be one of them this year."
Mulan Yan knew this, and nodded in sudden realization. "Qiuzhu, do you have a place to go after leaving the palace? If not, you might as well stay in the palace. The Queen Mother also needs you here."
Qingyin took over and said, "Of course she has a place to go. I have thoroughly questioned her, otherwise I would not let her go."
He paused here and said, "As for Qiu Zhu's matter, just think of me as being stingy. If you still need it, I will have someone arrange for two old men from the palace to serve you in Yufu Palace."
Mulan Yan quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am very happy that you have agreed to accompany me to worship Buddha. I was indeed not considerate enough about Qiu Zhu's matter."
Qingyin smiled and waved her hand, "Please sit down. I'm not a wicked mother-in-law, so I don't follow those rules. Qiuzhu, go show the imperial concubine the tea. These are the new teas that arrived this year. Try them."
After Mulanyan sat down, she felt a little confused.
The Queen Mother was so kind to her, but she...
"My Lady, please."
Qiu Zhu finished pouring the tea and said softly.
Mulan Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip. It was astringent at first, then sweet and a little bitter.
The faint bitter taste lingered in my mouth for a long time before slowly fading away.
