Chapter 369: The Queen looks at the Emperor, her eyelashes trembling slightly, so beautiful!
Nuan Yu looked at Su Changan who was smiling in front of her.
Nuan Yu felt that it looked like a painting. No, that was not right. The smiles were prettier than those of the women in the paintings, so she was a little stunned.
The moonlight was shining on Su Changan's face, and that faint and gentle smile made Nuanyu's heart feel warm for no reason.
Ever since she fainted from fright last night and woke up in the morning, she has been thinking about the figure she saw last night.
During the day, His Majesty asked the very beautiful sister Xuanxia to announce in the palace that this was a misunderstanding and that it was not a female ghost but a human.
This made Nuanyu feel much more comfortable, as long as it was a human being, it would be fine.
But for no reason, she still felt a lingering fear in her heart. She had been afraid of ghosts and such things since she was a child. It was not until she entered Qingquan Palace that she felt much better. After all, there were lanterns everywhere in the palace at night. Although it was not as bright as in the house, it was not completely dark after all.
But not working is not an option.
Today's work was done by other sisters in the palace, so she owed them a favor. If she owed Sister Hongye a favor, it would be fine, but Sister Hongye's writing about Maple Leaf was discovered. Although nothing happened, something was wrong after her sister came back, so she didn't work. The steward was watching whether someone worked too much or too little in the palace, so she thought about doing some of the work that she didn't do during the day, as well as Sister Hongye's, at night, and helping other sisters do some of it, to make up for what she should make up and pay back what she owed.
Su Changan looked at the silent child in front of him, smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch his face: "I'm asking you a question."
"Eh?" Nuanyu blinked, then immediately realized that she had been rude, and quickly said, "Not me."
But he hesitated and didn't know what to say.
Because the little palace maid reacted and realized that what she had just done was not just disrespectful. She had even mistaken the Queen for a ghost and even called her out. This was a crime of great disrespect and she might be killed!
The more Nuanyu thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she didn't dare to look at Su Changan.
He planned to kneel down and kowtow to the Queen and ask for forgiveness.
However, when Su Changan saw the little palace maid was about to kneel down, he immediately stopped her. But he could also see the panic on the girl's face, so he smiled and said, "I don't like others kneeling to me."
When the little palace maid heard this, she pursed her lips, not knowing what to say or what to do.
Su Changan reached out and rubbed the girl's head, smiling. He knew that the girl was probably scared, so he said, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a man-eating ghost. I'm just an orphan who was kicked out of the house."
Su Changan almost said man, but wanted to change it to woman, then felt it was inappropriate.
Hearing this, Nuan Yu was stunned. Being kicked out of the house? Being a widow?
The young palace maid didn't understand what it meant and was very confused.
So she couldn't help but look up at Su Changan, and then, seeing the Queen's particularly beautiful and gentle smile, she couldn't help but pursed her lips, and didn't know where she got the courage from, she said: "I didn't know it was the Queen, so I said the wrong thing just now, please, please forgive me, Queen."
Nuanyu's voice became smaller and smaller, mainly because she was still afraid.
Su Changan smiled and said, "Forgive me for what? I'm not angry. If I saw someone with disheveled hair and white clothes sitting on the roof in the middle of the night, I would have thought she was a female ghost. But you are braver than me, at least you dare to look. I would have pretended that I didn't see anything and ran back to the quilt first."
Nuan Yu blinked and looked at the Queen. How could she put it? She felt that what the Queen said made sense. She saw a ghost and ran back quickly. But she didn't understand why she ran back to hide in the quilt.
Su Changan saw that the girl in front of him was no longer the same as before. He smiled and looked at the basin and the water on the ground. He couldn't help but look at the girl's clothes. After making sure that no water was on her body, he picked up the basin.
At the same time, Nuan Yu just felt that the Queen was indeed as the rumors said, kind, friendly, beautiful, and she smelled fragrant, just like the smell of pastries!
But when the little maid saw Su Changan picking up the basin, she was startled again and said in panic, "My queen, this..."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the basin of water.
After Su Changan handed it to her, he asked, "Will you be scolded by the palace servants who are in charge of you? If you come back late because you spilled the water, you can say that you met me and I took the water for my own use."
Hearing this, Nuanyu looked at Su Changan, her heart warmed again, but she still shook her head: "No, no, Sister Hongye never scolds me, and I came out to do things on my own today, so it doesn't matter if it's late."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment: "Red leaves?"
Thinking of this, Su Changan looked at Nuanyu and asked with a smile: "Your name is Nuanyu?"
Nuanyu was stunned for a moment. The Queen knows me!
Then, Su Changan smiled and said, "Nuan Yu, who fainted last night after seeing that man?"
Nuanyu, who was just a little excited that the Queen knew about her, was so embarrassed after hearing the following words that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But thinking that it was the Queen who asked, she nodded: "Yes, it is your servant."
Su Changan reached out and rubbed Nuanyu's head again. Looking at the little girl, he felt a little sorry. After all, wasn't it him who scared her to death last night? And he just scared her again.
but
Nuanyu felt the Queen Mother touching her head gently again, but she pursed her lips. The last time she was touched on the head so gently was before she entered the palace. That was two years ago.
Mother is also very good, although not as good as the Queen.
Thinking of this, Nuanyu felt depressed because she missed her mother at home.
Su Changan looked at Nuanyu, thought for a moment and then asked, "Are the people in the palace treating you well?"
Hearing this, Nuanyu was stunned for a moment, not understanding why she was asked this question suddenly, but she nodded anyway: "Well, my sisters are all very good to me. Sister Hongye is the best to me and taught me how to read. The housekeeper is also very good to me. The previous housekeeper was not a good one, but I heard from my sisters that he was exiled."
Su Changan smiled, but when he heard Hongye's name, he couldn't help but ask, "How is your sister Hongye after she came back?"
About Qu Hongye.
Su Changan did not look for her after returning to the palace, but he heard that Qu Hongye went to look for Ma Shitui.
Su Changan also had some understanding about Ma Shitui. He was a young genius, but he had taken exams for more than ten years and still failed.
but.
These are all small things. The main thing is that he saved the girl without batting an eyelid. For this alone, it's great.
Therefore, Su Changan did not ask any more questions about this matter. As long as she didn't meet a scumbag or a scholar who looked unfaithful, there would be no problem.
And when Su Changan learned about Ma Shitui's affairs, Xia Fengxiang even joked, "As the queen, you must worry too much!"
Su Changan smiled, not knowing how to answer.
Nuanyu knew what happened to Sister Hongye today. After all, the news had spread throughout the palace. It was said that the Queen Mother took her to find the person who had passed the poem to her through Maple Leaf. And after Sister Hongye came back, she was surrounded by many sisters and asked all kinds of questions.
So, Nuanyu thought for a moment and said, "When the sisters in the palace asked, Sister Hongye said it was very good, and that was it."
However, Nuanyu looked at Su Changan and said, "But when the sisters heard this, they were all very happy. They even said that if that person dared to betray you, you should find him..."
When it came to this, Nuanyu knew that she shouldn't say this, so she quickly shut up.
Su Changan smiled and said, "Just look for me and let me take the lead?"
Nuanyu nodded carefully.
Su Changan didn't say anything, but looked at Nuanyu and said with a smile: "I will definitely come forward, but that person, I don't know, after all, he is a scholar, everything is hard to say."
Nuanyu blinked curiously, but didn't understand what the queen meant.
However, Su Changan looked at Nuanyu, a young palace maid who was only slightly older than Wan'er and the others, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you want to come to my side?"
Nuan Yu was stunned for a moment: "Ah?"
Su Changan said: "Just be my maid."
Su Changan asked the girl for no reason. It was mainly because the girl was young. Plus, he felt a little guilty for scaring the girl twice. Besides, there were only a few palace maids around him, including Xia, so one more and one less wouldn't make much difference.
Nuanyu had understood what she had just heard, but when she heard Su Changan say it again, she was still surprised, because she did not expect the Queen to say this suddenly.
But besides being surprised, Nuanyu was inexplicably terrified. "I am clumsy, and I don't know many words. I have never seen the world, so I get surprised by everything I see. Besides, Sister Hongye is very kind to me, and so are the sisters and the aunt in charge. And..."
When she said this, Nuanyu looked at Su Changan and lowered her head involuntarily: "I... I..."
Su Changan reached out and rubbed Nuanyu's head again, and said with a smile: "I'm just asking you, if you don't want to, just say it directly."
Nuan Yu was stunned for a moment, pursed her lips and lowered her head. She knew that becoming a maid beside the Queen would be a great achievement!
When she heard her sisters talking about Sister Xuanxia and Sister Xiangluo yesterday, they said that if she could become a maidservant beside the Queen, then when she went out, even officials would have to bow to her politely when they saw her. Wow, even officials would have to bow to her, that would be too impressive!
but.
Nuanyu frowned, thinking of how her sisters in the palace were especially nice to her. When she was sick, they took turns keeping watch over her at night. Although the aunt in charge looked stern, she was actually very kind to people.
Su Changan knew the answer without Nuanyu's answer, so he smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't want to come. If you change your mind in the future, just tell Aunt Sweet Potato and you can come anytime."
Nuanyu lowered her head, like someone who had made a mistake, and whispered, "The sisters are so kind to me, I can't bear to leave Sister Hongye."
The sound became smaller and smaller, and Su Changan could no longer hear it at the back, as if there was no sound.
Su Changan felt helpless for a moment, but he also knew that there was no need to continue this topic, even if it would be a burden to the girl.
At this time, the wind blew, and more maple leaves were blown into the yard.
This is the time when maple leaves are flying, so it is normal for maple leaves to be blown in from time to time.
but
Looking at the maple leaves, Su Changan asked, "After the beginning of autumn, are the maple leaves on the mountain beautiful?"
Nuanyu was originally a little afraid that she had rejected the Queen and that she would be angry, but when she heard this question, she couldn't help but look up at Su Changan, and then nodded immediately: "It looks good! It looks really good!"
After saying that, Nuanyu pointed in a direction and said, "I secretly climbed up over there to look at the wall. It was so beautiful. At the beginning of autumn, the trees were all yellow, and the wind blew. Then when winter was approaching, many of them turned red, bright red. It was even more beautiful when it snowed, white and red. I was fascinated by it last time."
At this point, Nuanyu covered her mouth and said, "My queen, don't blame me for climbing the wall, and don't tell my aunt."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, and then said: "Then your majesty and I will definitely come to see it at the beginning of autumn this year."
Nuanyu nodded, but immediately nodded vigorously: "It's beautiful."
Su Changan smiled and said, "Go back. Remember to wear thicker clothes when working at night and use more hot water."
Nuan Yu nodded, bowed to Su Changan, turned around and trotted away.
Just turned around, Nuan Yu was very excited. First, she was able to talk to the Queen, and then, she saw the Queen up close and saw her smile. That was too much.
When she thought of this, the little palace maid fell to the ground with a bang.
Su Changan saw this and went over to help.
The little palace maid got up by herself, turned around and looked at Su Changan, her face completely red. Then she grinned shyly, bowed again, and then ran away quickly.
Nuanyu really wants to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!
Can.
Although she was shy, the girl felt more excited when she thought about what she had just experienced!
and
My sisters are wrong. There are no female ghosts at night, but there are fairies!
It was dark when the queen was sitting there just now. If there was a little moonlight, wouldn't she be a fairy under the moon?
Moreover, the Queen said that the Beginning of Autumn is coming again. How beautiful it would be if the Queen stood among those beautiful maple leaves!
Well! Tomorrow I will also go with my aunt to see the maple trees. I can’t let my mother come. It would be bad if many maple leaves were damaged!
Looking at Nuanyu's back, Su Changan smiled helplessly, then turned around and looked at the corner of the corridor: "Still hiding?"
Just as he finished speaking, Xia Fengxiang came out from around the corner.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, and walked towards him with a smile, "Haha, do you want to come to my side?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and was about to answer, but he immediately realized that it was Xia Fengxiang who had just heard what he asked Nuanyu.
But before Su Changan could speak.
Xia Fengxiang had already walked to Su Changan's side, and raised his foot to gently kick Su Changan's buttocks: "It's not enough to have Xia Xia and the others serving you, and you even asked this little girl to come over, Su Changan! You've grown up, you know how to find someone, right!"
After saying that, he kicked again, but Su Changan dodged it.
Su Changan was helpless and had to explain.
Xia Fengxiang kicked Su Changan again, and then cursed: "You are still speaking so gently, humph. I didn't know my queen could be so gentle! Why hasn't she been so gentle to me!"
Su Changan was helpless: "When did I stop being gentle to you?"
Xia Fengxiang immediately frowned: "Are you saying you are gentle?! Every day you either make me angry or eat the melon seeds I eat. Do you know how tired I am eating those melon seeds!"
As he spoke, he kicked again.
Su Changan just kept dodging.
Seeing that he couldn't kick it anymore, Xia Fengxiang chased after it and kicked it.
Su Changan has been hiding.
In the small courtyard, there was a scene of the emperor chasing and kicking the queen, but it looked like a scene of a loving couple.
Sudden!
The empress was so angry that she couldn't kick him, so she simply grabbed Su Changan's arm and pinched him hard!
Su Changan was helpless.
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan: "Still hiding! I told you to hide!"
Su Changan was helpless: "Didn't I give you back all of it? And even more than double it!"
Xia Fengxiang immediately said: "Can it be the same?!"
Su Changan was even more helpless, but he looked at Xia Fengxiang and asked, "Why don't you come out? You're hiding all the time."
Xia Fengxiang helped Su Changan fix his clothes, and then said, "If I come out, will that kid still dare to speak?"
Su Changan thought about it and agreed.
But looking at Xia Fengxiang, he actually knew that Xia Fengxiang was not really angry. He was probably still thinking about the incident of him eating the melon seeds.
Why!
His wife is open-minded about many things, but why is she so petty about such things? So he looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Xia Qingge, we should learn to be more tolerant. It's just a melon seed."
But just after he finished speaking, Xia Fengxiang looked straight at Su Changan, as if to say, "Just try and say it again."
Su Changan curled his lips and changed the subject: "Are you done?"
Xia Fengxiang asked back: "Where were you just now? Did that kid mistake you for a female ghost again?"
Su Changan was helpless and pointed upwards to the corridor.
Xia Fengxiang chuckled, and then said: "Climbing up there in the middle of the night, I don't think you are a female ghost, I think you are a fairy!"
Su Changan curled his lips: "Xia Qingge, I'm a man."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan: "I know."
Su Changan corrected him, "Don't call her a female ghost, fairy or something like that."
Hearing this, Xia Fengxiang suppressed his laughter and said, "I am the emperor, and I have the final say!"
Su Changan frowned and had nothing to say. After all, what could he say!
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Take me up there. I want to see what my queen is looking at up there alone."
Su Changan smiled helplessly, immediately picked up his wife in a princess hug and planned to jump on.
But just before he was about to jump up, he thought for a moment and said gently, "Your Majesty, please hold me tight. Don't pinch me! I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I won't talk like that anymore!"
Xia Fengxiang pinched Su Changan's face with his hands: "You are so disgusting! And you are so disgusting, do you expect me to be gentle?!"
Su Changan took a deep breath and looked down at Xia Fengxiang: "Okay, you are the emperor, you have the final say."
Xia Fengxiang smiled, but held Su Changan tightly: "Go ahead."
Su Changan naturally jumped up.
Standing on the top of the corridor, Su Changan planned to let Xia Fengxiang down, but Xia Fengxiang held Su Changan tightly and refused to come down!
Su Changan was helpless.
but
Looking at the night scene in front of him, Xia Fengxiang smiled: "Well~~it's quite beautiful."
Su Changan did not go to see the night view, but looked down at Xia Fengxiang. Seeing Xia Fengxiang in his arms, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he smiled and said, "Well, it's quite beautiful."
