I wonder what kind of master deserves such a luxurious decoration?
This was Madam Hu's thought just a second before she met Qingyin.
Then she saw a beautiful woman in a light pink cheongsam smiling at her.
Mrs. Hu slapped her thigh hard.
Damn, who said this beauty isn't worthy? This stunning beauty is more than a perfect match.
No wonder the Southern Chu Commander decorated the beautiful woman's courtyard so well. With such a rare and charming beauty in his home, he couldn't help but want to spend money on her.
Such a woman, Great Khan, it shouldn't be the Emperor, who would be willing to bestow such a beautiful consort upon his minister. Could it be that Commander Nan Chu is so highly regarded by the Emperor!
Mrs. Hu thought in shock.
"Madam Hu, Madam?"
Qingyin looked at Madam Hu, who had suddenly frozen in shock, with a puzzled expression, and took a few more steps closer to her.
Madam Hu was startled by the stunning beauty that suddenly appeared before her, and hurriedly bowed, saying, "Oh, oh, this humble woman greets Your Highness."
Qingyin stopped her, helped Madam Hu up with her hand, and smiled gently: "Madam Hu, there's no need for such formalities."
Madam Hu blushed visibly as Qingyin's slender white hand touched her—literally blushed.
Except for the parts covered by clothing, the exposed skin began to turn red.
Mrs. Hu: Waaah, my left hand was touched by such a beautiful woman. It feels so soft and tender. I never want to wash my left hand again!
Mrs. Hu's eyes sparkled.
Qingyin: She was a little shy. If Madam Hu hadn't already been married and had children, she would have almost thought that Madam Hu was a woman with some kind of unusual sexual orientation.
His gaze was as intense as Nan Chu's.
Qingyin moved away from Madam Hu's hand, which was flushed red, as if it were burning hot.
"Please sit down, Madam. Maya has prepared a seat for you."
"Yes, Madam."
"Yes, Your Highness wants to know about the two princesses' lives in the palace."
Madam Hu sat down and resumed her previous gentle demeanor.
Qingyin and Maya both breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Hu looked at me just now and it was truly terrifying.
Qingyin nodded, then asked anxiously, "Are they alright?"
Seeing the anxious beauty, Madam Hu felt extremely distressed. The separation of mother and daughter was all the Emperor's fault in the palace. Ha, what a blind man! He actually drove such a beautiful woman out of the palace.
"Both princesses are well. The Ninth Princess has now been given a name by the Emperor, Xinyu. The Emperor did not entrust the two princesses to other consorts to raise; instead, it is the Emperor himself who is raising them."
The implication was that the two princesses were under the emperor's protection and wouldn't encounter any major problems.
Qingyin relaxed a bit. What she feared most was that the princesses would be raised by the concubines in the palace. The empress and the others were fine, but if they were in Hailanzhu's hands, she would be in trouble. She had offended Hailanzhu and said a few words to her. The emperor saw this and, because of her previous dislike, she was given to Nan Chu as a reward.
Hearing that her two daughters wouldn't be in Hailanzhu's hands and might be bullied by her, she felt a little relieved.
Seeing the beautiful woman's pitiful expression of worry for her daughter, Madam Hu cursed the emperor inwardly for separating the mother and daughter.
"You don't need to worry too much, my wife. I have a niece from my maternal family. Her parents didn't treat her well, so I took her in for a few days. Now she's in the palace. The current princess needs to recruit maids, so maybe my niece will be lucky enough to stay by the sixth princess's side."
"Really?"
Qingyin's eyes lit up.
Under the admiring gaze of the beautiful woman, Madam Hu straightened her chest and nodded, feigning composure.
"Thank you so much, Madam."
"Yes, Your Highness is too kind. If my niece can really stay by the Sixth Princess's side, Your Highness can have my niece pass on a message or a gift to the princess."
"Mrs. Hu, you are so kind. I don't know how to thank you enough." Qingyin looked at Mrs. Hu gratefully, her beautiful eyes fixed on her.
Madam Hu felt like she was about to faint from the beauty of her wife again.
While staying in the east courtyard of the Fujin (wife's wife), Madam Hu had a few words with Qingyin in a daze. They drank some tea and ate some snacks. Before leaving, Madam Hu took a large bag of tea leaves and various wrapped snacks. Madam Hu then returned home in a daze.
Returning to the familiar courtyard, although it looked quite spacious, it couldn't compare to the Yehenara Mansion.
Mrs. Hu sat in a chair, looking at the table full of tea and snacks.
Ahhh, she usually hates taking other people's things, because she's afraid of owing people favors.
But today… Mrs. Hu looked at the dazzling array of pastries and tea leaves on the table and covered her flushed face with her hands.
Beauty can be a powerful force; I've truly been bewitched by this stunning beauty and have unwittingly taken so many of her things.
Honestly, I wonder if the wife of Zhalute will have a bad impression of her, like that she's a gluttonous and lustful woman.
Thinking of this, Madam Hu's ears couldn't help but burn again.
Hu Zhi, who had just finished memorizing his medical books, walked into his mother's room and saw various snacks laid out on her table.
He excitedly took a packet of pastries, tore it open, threw in a pastry, and chewed it.
"Wow, Mom, how did you know your son was tired and hungry from reciting medical books? You even bought him so many things. Are these all snacks?"
"It's a pity it's a bit small, but the taste is quite good. It's much better than the pastry shop on Xijie Street in the east of here."
Hearing her son's awful words, Madam Hu's originally happy mood turned sour. She frowned and walked over aggressively, knocked Hu Zhi on the head, and snatched the pastry from his hand.
