"Dujuan, do you think I've waited so long? Has the hardship finally paid off?"
Dujuan smiled knowingly and stroked the queen's long black hair with both hands.
"Queen, the time you have been waiting for has come. Everything that belongs to you will be yours. You are so kind, and His Majesty has finally seen your goodness."
A blush appeared on Qiu Fuer's cheeks, and at this moment she looked as warm and pleasant as the setting sun in the morning.
"I really hope this isn't just a dream."
She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at herself in the bronze mirror. Her eyes flickered, filled with frustration.
I have never felt the tenderness of His Majesty in a single day. Even seeing him is extremely difficult. I spend too much time waiting in front of the palace door, hoping that a little hope will come true.
But every evening, she could only wait for the cold moonlit night, and only the gloomy moonlight accompanied her to sleep.
But all this happened suddenly, making Qiu Fuer feel that it was just a dream, and she herself couldn't believe that all this was true.
I’m really afraid that one day I’ll wake up from the dream and find that everything is empty.
"Queen, His Majesty invites you to the Chengde Palace."
When the queen heard the voice of Eunuch Pu outside the door, she felt both happy and worried.
She looked up at Dujuan, who understood and replied, "Good evening, Lord Pu, the Queen knows. I will go now."
When Eunuch Pu heard the response from inside, he bowed and turned to leave.
"Dujuan, what do you think His Majesty wants me to do?"
"Queen, Dujuan dare not speak rashly of your majesty's intentions."
"Dujuan, you've been serving me since you were ten years old. I like you very much. It's just you and me here, so there's no need to be so shy."
Du Juan's expression flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised in a very low arc without any expression.
"Queen, His Majesty must have missed you very much. I have already finished adorning your hair and makeup. I'm sure you are also looking forward to seeing His Majesty."
Qiu Fuer's expression changed slightly, her heart full of anticipation. She smiled knowingly at herself in the bronze mirror, then turned to look at Du Juan.
"Dujuan, help me up and go to Chengde Palace."
Du Juan placed her hands on her waist, half-bent her body, then helped Qiu Fuer up and walked towards the palace door.
Jinghong Palace has been unusually deserted for the past ten years. When Dujuan came to Jinghong Palace, Qiu Fuer sent all the palace maids except Dujuan to other palaces on the pretext of liking quietness.
The well-behaved and lovely Dujuan won her heart. She was smart and capable, never procrastinated in doing things, and was gentle and polite. After spending several years with her day and night, Qiu Fuer felt the only comfort she had in the palace.
There were only these two people in the huge Jinghong Palace. At night, even the flow of air became unusually slow due to the silence.
This allowed Qiu Fuer's wounded heart to rest peacefully.
…
"Your Majesty, I am late. Please forgive me."
Qiu Fuer bowed and Du Juan stayed behind her with her head lowered.
"Fuer, now that you are here, how could I blame you? Come, sit next to me." Zhao Yehua stretched out his hand to motion Qiu Fuer to come forward.
Qiu Fuer looked at Zhao Yehua's actions somewhat flattered, and her heart moved slightly.
I never thought that Your Majesty would be like this.
She stopped there stupidly, not taking a step forward.
"What are you still standing there for? Come here quickly." Zhao Yehua's voice quickly reached Qiu Fuer's ears.
Qiu Fuer's eyebrows moved slightly, she smiled faintly, and placed her hand on Zhao Yehua's palm.
