Nalan Yulo was talking to himself, totally unaware of the murderous intent that flashed across Hong Jing's eyes.
"This morning I just wanted to accompany my sister to have breakfast, and I didn't know that the concubines from the harem came to pay their respects. When they saw that I looked like the queen mother, they pulled me aside and asked me all sorts of questions. You know, I'm not good at beating around the bush. I'm a manly person, so I don't understand..."
"Yes, Miss Nalan, please be more careful in front of outsiders in the future. The Queen Mother is the most honorable person in the palace. Don't let people think that you are disrespectful to the Queen Mother."
Nalan Yulo's words were stuck in his throat. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and tears began to fall.
"Don't cry, Miss Nalan. The Empress Dowager knows all the grievances you have suffered."
"Thank you, Hiroko-chan. I am so lucky to have someone as gentle as you by my side."
"You are too kind to me. It is my blessing to serve the Queen Mother."
㫧Hong Jing's tone was extremely gentle, and his emotions at this moment were genuine. He felt that meeting her was indeed the greatest blessing in his life.
Nalan Yulo understood, he just wanted to serve the Queen Mother. It was not easy to be a eunuch, wouldn't it be easier to serve someone of noble status?
But Nalan Haitang has such a savage temper, he must be suffering a lot, right? He is too kind, if he was serving me...
After Hong Jing brought the person there, he bowed respectfully and left.
Nalan Yuluo stood at the door for a long time. Only after the palace maid beside her asked her two or three times did she come to her senses.
"The Queen Mother has sent over some clothes for tonight's dinner. Would you like to try them on first?"
Nalan Yuluo touched his face, feeling a little annoyed, "Bring me some ice, I want to apply it on my face."
"yes."
...
Ever since the episode with Nalan Yulo, the atmosphere in Haitang has become exceptionally balanced again.
They were all talking about the holy book in a disjointed manner, and seemed very peaceful on the surface.
"Queen, we are hosting a banquet for a foreign hostage tonight. Will you go?"
"For the sake of friendship between our two countries, the emperor hopes that I will show up. I will definitely go."
The Queen nodded and asked, "Does the Queen's dress fit you?"
Seeing Haitang hesitate, the Queen hurriedly added, "I have ordered the Clothing Bureau to send more new styles to the Cining Palace for Queen Mother to take a look. If Queen Mother likes them, I have many precious cloths in my storehouse. I also want to show my filial piety to Queen Mother."
???
Haitang felt a little strange. Why was the Queen flattering her so much today?
Haitang reached out and patted her hand, smiling gently, "The Queen is thoughtful."
Chu Yuexun stared at her hands for a while, then quickly lowered her eyes: "My Queen, please don't say that. It embarrasses me."
Defei's face darkened gradually.
Very dark, ugly~
...
Tall buildings, pavilions by the pool, willow trees and flowers.
Golden and jade curtains, bright moon and blue pearls.
In the Ming and Qing Palace where the hostages were entertained, a water pavilion ran through all four sides, and the sound of water was very elegant.
The singing voice is faint across the water, and the curtains are hazy.
The green tiles and red eaves are intricately arranged, and the beautiful palace maids dance like flowing clouds and running water.
The scenery is eye-catching, and it really feels like a fairyland. You can tell at a glance that a lot of thought was put into it.
