The queen was deeply moved when she heard this. She had two sons that she had raised, but she could never see them all day, let alone be close to them. She should be thankful that they didn't cause her any trouble.
At this moment, the Queen looked at Yue'er who was always thinking of her, and her heart softened. "How could our Yue'er be so obedient!"
Seeing how touched her aunt, the Queen, was, Zhou Qiongyue felt quite embarrassed. "Aunt, please don't be too touched. I gave this to you, and I also wanted to pass it on to the Emperor through you. I feel quite ashamed of you for doing this."
Seeing Zhou Qiongyue like this, the Queen was not unhappy at all. Instead, she thought Yue'er was too sincere. She could only be thankful that such a Yue'er did not marry into the big dye vat of the royal family.
As for what Yue'er's current husband Fu'an thinks, it doesn't matter to the Queen. As long as she and Chen'er don't fall, Fu'an will pretend for her forever:
"You are still so kind. If you can be of any use to Auntie, Auntie will be happy. Otherwise, you young people can solve any problem, which makes us elders look useless."
Zhou Qiongyue could sense the sincerity of her aunt's words, and her eyes reddened involuntarily. She lowered her head, poked the dumplings in the bowl with her chopsticks, and muttered softly, "Aunt, why are you so kind?"
The Queen looked at Yue'er like this and could only pick up a small dish for Zhou Qiongyue with her chopsticks, "Silly girl, eat quickly! Otherwise, your tears will drown the bowl soon.
Actually, Auntie is not as good as you think. Auntie seems to love you, but if Auntie really has to choose between you and your cousin, she will still choose her own son. "
The Queen's subconscious intention in saying this was to tell Yue'er not to feel guilty and to be more careful, and not to be so naive now that she is married.
Zhou Qiongyue didn't think too much about it. She also felt that the Queen Aunt was normal. If the Queen Aunt said that she would choose her at any time, Zhou Qiongyue would feel it was fake.
As a mother, which one would not choose her own child first?
"That's great, Auntie!" Zhou Qiongyue said this with a bright smile on her face.
The queen looked at her niece, who was smiling brightly, with a doting look on her face. "You! I really can't do anything with you."
Afterwards, the Queen and Zhou Qiongyue had a very harmonious breakfast. After breakfast, the Queen did not go to do anything else, but instead held a cup of tea and chatted with Zhou Qiongyue.
Mainly, the Queen was asking Fu'an what he thought of Zhou Qiongyue, while Zhou Qiongyue kept saying good things about Yuan Bohua.
The Queen was even more worried about Zhou Qiongyue's behavior, fearing that Yue'er would be fooled by men's sweet talk. She told Zhou Qiongyue many stories about men who trusted her too much and ended up in a miserable state.
Although Zhou Qiongyue felt that she would not be the kind of person her aunt imagined, she did not refuse her aunt's kindness. She just thought it was nice to listen to the story.
Normally, the concubines from other palaces would come to Kunyun Palace to pay their respects at this time.
But since Zhou Qiongyue came today, the Queen had people inform all the palaces that there was no need to pay respects today.
The Queen didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she was the Queen. If she couldn't even make the decision on such a small matter, then her position as the head of the harem would be over.
After chatting about trivial matters for a long time, Zhou Qiongyue couldn't wait to show off to the queen, "Aunt, guess what good thing I brought today?"
The Queen, of course, saw through Zhou Qiongyue's little thoughts and found them very funny. She was just like a little kid who couldn't wait to show off a good thing.
The Queen still remembered that her eldest sister-in-law had come to the palace to complain to her not long ago, saying, "Now that Zhou Qiongyue is married and has no one to pressure her, her life is getting more and more out of control. She has to go back to her parents' home every few days."
Sometimes he would go back for a meal. This made her sister-in-law so worried that she wanted to pack up the cooks in the Marquis's mansion and send them to Prince Fu'an's mansion.
The Queen thought about all the unreliable things Zhou Qiongyue had done, and her expression softened. "What good things have you grown again?"
The reason why the queen thought so was because Zhou Qiongyue always gave her the vegetables she grew.
Zhou Qiongyue smiled mysteriously at the queen and called Gumei to start the operation.
The Queen was also very curious and came closer to watch. The people around the Queen wanted to stop her, fearing that something might happen.
The Queen stopped her with a wave of her hand. She still trusted Yue'er very much.
Then the queen clearly witnessed the process of a basin of clear water turning into ice. Even though the queen had seen many storms, she was still surprised.
However, the queen's first reaction was to look at the servants around her with a sharp gaze, and the servants immediately knelt on the ground.
Zhou Qiongyue looked at her aunt in confusion, feeling quite panicked. Could it be that there was some taboo about this?
The Queen looked at her niece with a puzzled look. She looked at her niece with a headache and explained patiently: "Yue'er, some things cannot be taken out casually. Many times, the more capable people are, the better they live."
Zhou Qiongyue nodded in agreement. It was indeed what her aunt said.
Seeing Zhou Qiongyue like this, the Queen frowned even more. She felt that Yue'er didn't understand. How could the Emperor not think twice about giving out such a heaven-defying thing at such a special time?
The queen looked at the people kneeling on the ground and felt relieved when she saw that they were all her confidants.
The Queen was still worried and warned: "You must keep your mouths shut about what happened today. You can't even tell Chen'er and Yu'er."
The people kneeling on the ground quickly responded "yes".
The Queen then waved her hand and asked these people to leave. If she had known that Yue'er would take out such a heaven-defying thing, she would never have allowed anyone to stay in the hall.
Zhou Qiongyue now realized why her aunt was like this, "Aunt, it's not that serious! I didn't invent it myself. I just experimented according to an ancient book. I also tried other things, but none of them worked."
As Zhou Qiongyue spoke, she took over two ancient books that had been found long ago from Gumei's hand. One was "Zhou Li" and the other was "Xianren Zaxue", both of which had corresponding records.
These two books were very common in this dynasty, otherwise Zhou Qiongyue would not have dared to start this business in the first place. After all, she still cared about her life.
Zhou Qiongyue had already folded the corresponding parts and pointed them out to Aunt Queen one by one.
The queen looked at it carefully and was relieved to see that it was true.
The Queen reached out and poked Zhou Qiongyue's head, "You scared your aunt."
Zhou Qiongyue immediately went over and hugged the Queen's arm, resting her head on the Queen's aunt's shoulder, "I knew that the Queen's aunt was the best to me."
The queen could only helplessly poke Zhou Qiongyue's head again. She really had no way to deal with this girl.
