As it was getting dark, Wu Qing did not go to the prince's residence, but planned to return to Kunning Palace to hide the love letter.
She was hiding something in her heart, so much so that she didn't even notice when Jinxiu walked up to her face.
Jinxiu came forward and said, "My lady, the Queen invites you to dinner."
Before Wu Qing could react, Jinxiu stuffed him into the queen's room.
The charcoal fire in the palace was burning brightly, and the smell of medicine was much lighter than usual.
Jinxiu took Wu Qing's coat skillfully and stepped aside.
Wu Qing didn't understand what was going on, so he lifted the curtain and went inside.
The queen had already sat down at the table. When she saw Wu Qing, she smiled and nodded, motioning for her to take a seat.
There were a wide variety of dishes on the table, a total of ten, including both meat and vegetables, which made Wu Qing's appetite grow.
"Your Majesty, do you have anything to tell me?" Wu Qing asked casually and walked to the opposite side of the Queen.
Xiwen stood to one side, displeased by Wu Qing's willful actions.
It was an honor to dine with the Queen. It was really against the rules that Concubine Ji neither performed the ceremony to show respect nor served the Queen.
But the queen did not show any suspicion.
She looked healthy and radiant in the evening, just like an ordinary person.
Wu Qing was slightly stunned.
She leaned forward and said hesitantly, "Madam, your face..."
The queen stroked her cheek with her fingers and looked up at Wu Qing.
"But what's wrong with that?" she asked.
Wu Qing shook her head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I just think that you look particularly rosy tonight."
Previously, Wu Qing felt that the Queen was a bit like her former head teacher, one of the reasons was that the Queen was too thin.
The sick queen had thin cheeks, protruding cheekbones, and sunken temples, making people afraid to approach her easily.
Perhaps Liu Yuanzheng's conditioning prescription finally worked.
A healthy blush gradually appeared on her once thin cheeks.
The bags under the queen's eyes were almost invisible, with only a little bit of dark blue left under her eyes.
In just half a day, the queen's appearance changed drastically.
Her smile revealed a kind of unprecedented tranquility and satisfaction, as if all the pain and hardship had disappeared.
[Why does the Queen look like she is seven or eight years younger? ]
[Confirmed. No makeup, absolutely natural.]
The more Wu Qing looked at her, the more surprised she was: "My Lady, did you take some kind of anti-aging pill?"
The queen raised the corner of her mouth slightly when she heard this.
Although she didn't care much about her appearance, she couldn't help feeling a little happy when she heard Concubine Ji praise her like that.
She smiled softly and said, "Where is the magic pill? Please sit down quickly, or the food will get cold."
Wu Qing nodded and responded obediently, rubbing his hands gently, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted to the roast duck on the table.
The roast duck was golden in color, with crispy skin, tender meat and a fragrant aroma, exactly the same as the Beijing roast duck she remembered.
[It really looks like Peking duck. I hope it tastes the same.]
Wu Qing's eyes filled with tears. [I hope the system can fix the plot as soon as possible. I really want to eat spicy hot pot and fried chicken.]
No. 521, who was high in the sky, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.
"No. 2321, you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually deceived the host like this? Fix the plot? Can the plot be fixed?"
Faced with the questioning from No. 521, system No. 2321 chose to remain silent.
No. 521 responded lazily: "My sweethearts at home urged me to go back."
"The scope of the bug has been fixed and will not spread any further. The rest is up to you."
System No. 2321 simply replied with an "OK".
No. 521 returned the rescue program to No. 2321 and prepared to leave.
There is a Thousand Character Screen outside the Queen's living room, which quietly separates the dining area from the bedroom.
Wu Qing had read the article on the screen before and earned the reputation of having a photographic memory.
As No. 521 left, the optical sensor captured an anomaly.
The wood around the edge of the screen has been carefully polished to be as smooth as a mirror.
The wood is inlaid with glittering gold edges, showing its luxury and extraordinaryness.
A white figure suddenly appeared in the golden edge, like a tiny reflection, completely failing to attract the attention of others.
Her face was 90% similar to the host's, with traces of blood flowing from her seven orifices.
"Wu Qing" grabbed the bloodstained white skirt with both hands, bowed slightly to No. 521, and performed an elegant salute.
No. 521 suddenly realized.
I see.
No wonder this bug is so tricky, no wonder the object of the voice seems to be deliberately designated by some force.
——It’s the virus from the native world that’s causing the trouble.
In fact, with the ability of No. 521, it can completely reset the inner voice bug.
However, when No. 521 realized that there were other existences in this world besides itself, he gave up the idea.
Energy doesn't come for free, so it's better to do less than more.
No. 521 thought shamelessly that No. 2321 didn't know anyway.
The viruses in the native world also seemed to have noticed No. 521's decision.
When No. 521 was about to leave, it appeared and saluted No. 521, as if expressing gratitude and also saying goodbye.
The pink light flashed for a moment, then disappeared into the endless void.
The white light in the corner of the gold edge also disappeared in a flash.
…
Wu Qing sat down with such boldness that a corner of the revolving jade pendant in her skirt pocket accidentally appeared.
Afraid that it would fall to the ground again, Wu Qing simply took out the jade pendant and placed it on the table.
The queen was just instructing her maid to prepare a cup of honey water when she heard the clear sound and could not help but look back.
Her gaze lingered on the jade pendant for a moment, and she felt that the color and texture of the jade seemed somewhat familiar.
But then he thought, there are countless treasures in the palace, maybe it was just his illusion, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
Wu Qing ate five duck rolls in a row before looking up, a satisfied and happy smile on his face.
Seeing her eating so happily, the queen couldn't help but laugh.
She asked softly, "How does it taste?"
Wu Qing raised his thumb and praised generously: "My lady, your kitchen is really powerful."
The queen smiled even more gently, "As long as you like it. Xiwen, go and reward the kitchen servant with ten taels of silver."
Xiwen lowered his eyelids and retreated quietly.
The Queen had just recovered from a serious illness and was still weak and had a poor appetite.
She asked Wu Qing to continue eating and talked about the reason why she invited her to have dinner with her tonight.
"It was my negligence that frightened you last night," the queen blamed herself.
Wu Qing swallowed the food in his mouth, shook his head and said, "My Lady, how can this be blamed on you?"
"Look at me." Wu Qing raised his hand and showed his strong arms. "Nothing's wrong. I'm very healthy. Don't worry about me."
[In order to exaggerate and dramatize, the original book magnified everyone's dark side.]
[The fight between concubines never stops, and the contest between the emperor and the previous dynasty is also full of twists and turns. Every chapter in the book is about the gods fighting, and it is normal for me to be affected. 】
【Think positively. 】
[Someone is targeting me. Doesn't that just prove that my position in the palace is important enough to cause them to be wary and attack me? ]
[If you want to climb to a higher position, you can't be afraid of being attacked, but you should be more afraid of no one paying attention to you. It's better to be black and red than to be confused through the center of the earth. ]
A hint of admiration flashed in the queen's eyes, but then she frowned again.
"That being said, we still have to be on guard."
Her eyes accidentally swept across the rotating jade pendant again.
