Chapter 139 Stay in front of Yu

"emperor."

Seeing Huo Jinchi walk into the east room, Yun Qin immediately stood up from the couch.

She had always been calm in front of Hawking Chi, but for the first time, she didn't dare to look up at his expression.

Although the two did not really quarrel that day because of the issue of status, they still parted on bad terms.

However, she didn't expect that Huo Jinchi actually understood her concerns, which made her feel a sense of respect for the first time in a long time.

Seeing her slightly shy look, Huo Jinchi smiled slightly and asked, "Did you hear everything?"

He walked forward, took Yunqin's hand and sat back on the couch, looked at her and asked with a smile: "You won't blame me this time, right?"

"I have never complained to the emperor." Yun Qin lowered her eyes and whispered, "I am only grateful to the emperor."

Huo Jinchi smiled again and was about to speak.

Xu An walked in with noodles, and Rong Xin came in with him.

"Your Majesty, Miss, the noodles are ready, please enjoy your meal."

Huo Jinchi nodded slightly and said to Yun Qin: "Come, eat something with me."

He wasn't actually that hungry, but he was worried that Yunqin didn't eat much and didn't want her to go hungry before his arrival.

But Xiao Shunzi's words about sending rice and flour were just an excuse for Yunqin to date him. Although the gatekeeper would indeed withhold their food, they had money after all, so they would not go hungry.

But after struggling for so long, Yun Qin was indeed a little hungry.

So she didn't bother to be polite with Hawking Chi, but she was actually more tired than hungry. It was mainly because she was too tense before, and she felt particularly tired when she relaxed.

After eating just a few bites, Yun Qin no longer had the strength to hold the chopsticks.

But after all, he hadn't put down his chopsticks in front of Huo Jinchi, so Yun Qin naturally couldn't put down her chopsticks either.

Seeing her picking up the noodles in the bowl one by one, Huo Jinchi asked helplessly, "Are you full?"

Yun Qin nodded and smiled, "Your Majesty, please eat slowly."

"I'm done eating too." Huo Jinchi put down his chopsticks and glanced at the remaining noodles in her bowl. Seeing that she had only eaten two mouthfuls, he couldn't help but say, "Let Zhang Zhian come and give it to you quietly tomorrow."

"Okay." Yun Qin didn't know why he said it again, but she still agreed obediently.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the fatigue, and whispered, "Your Majesty, where should I sleep?"

She would accept sleeping on a dragon bed tonight, otherwise she would have wanted to lie down right now.

Seeing her looking straight into the inner hall, Huo Jinchi's eyes darkened a little, but seeing that she looked sleepy, he didn't have the heart to bother her any more, so he just said, "You can sleep in the side hall first."

Huo Jinchi called Xia Yun and asked her to take Yun Qin and Rong Xin over.

Yun Qin felt groggy and her mind was a little slow. Without thinking much, she followed Xia Yun and left, going to the side hall.

The side hall was fully equipped and there was no need to clean anything. She simply washed up and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, it was already bright outside.

Yun Qin squinted her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar bed curtain above her head for a while before she realized where she was.

Now she is "the woman sleeping in front of me".

Yun Qin couldn't help but laugh at herself.

Just as she made a little noise, she saw Rong Xin open the curtain outside and walk in, "Awake?"

Yun Qin nodded and yawned, "Sister, have you been watching over me all night?"

"No, a palace maid came to take my place in the middle of the night and let me go to sleep." Rong Xin tied up the gauze curtain and said, "Get up, I'll call the people outside to come in."

Someone outside?

Before Yun Qin could even ask, Rong Xin shouted loudly, and immediately palace maids came in carrying basins of water, clothes, etc.

Yun Qin was a little dumbfounded, and two young-looking palace maids came forward to greet her, both of them looking very respectful.

"The servants will help the young lady get dressed."

Yun Qin subconsciously wanted to hide, but she still calmed her body and expression, and stood up with the help of their hands.

When he stood up, he still looked at Rong Xin with a puzzled look.

What is going on?

Xia Yun, who came in later, not only saw her confusion, but also said deliberately: "The emperor told us before the court today that we should treat the young lady as our master in the future. We should treat the young lady the same way we treat the emperor."

Seeing Rong Xin nod beside him, Yun Qin smiled at Xia Yun and the others, "Thank you for your help."

"Miss, please don't be polite with us." Xia Yun smiled gently, personally stepped forward to pick up the clothes on the tray, unfolded them and said to Yun Qin: "This is what the emperor ordered to be prepared, Miss, try it on to see if it fits you."

Fortunately, she did not put clothes on Yunqin herself, otherwise Yunqin would not know what expression she should make.

She really couldn't stand being treated the same as the emperor.

This dress was obviously not a palace dress that a palace maid should wear. Instead, it was a smoky purple short top and a pleated skirt of the same color. The lapels and skirt were all embroidered with wisteria patterns, and the sleeves were also embroidered with white flower patterns.

The color is fresh, yet luxurious, and has a bit of the liveliness of a young girl.

As soon as Yun Qin put it on, everyone's eyes lit up and they all said, "It looks really good, it really suits the girl."

Yun Qin's face became hot from hearing the compliments.

Rong Xin was more rational and interrupted to say, "Hurry up, the emperor is about to leave the court, and he wants the young lady to accompany him for breakfast."

"Look at us!" Xia Yun clapped his hands. "The girl is so pretty that she has charmed us all."

"Aunt, please don't make fun of me." Yun Qin's face turned redder.

After washing her face, she was pushed in front of the mirror again. The half-person-high mirror reflected her figure extremely clearly.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Yun Qin was a little dazed. It is true that clothes make the man.

In the past, she always wanted to hide herself, and she hadn't worn such bright colors for a long time. But for the first time, she found that bright clothes really lifted her complexion, making the deepness in her eyes fade away a lot, and making her look more girlish.

This time Xia Yun did not let anyone interfere and combed Yun Qin's hair herself. Yun Qin felt that her hair was much more obedient under her hands, and as her fingers turned, a stunning bun took shape in her hands.

Xia Yun looked at Yun Qin in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. She glanced at Yun Qin's jewelry box and was about to take out a pink tourmaline and gold-plated hairpin to put on her head.

Yun Qin held her hand, and handed her a simple pearl hairpin, "Aunt, please wear this one."

Her clothes are luxurious enough, so she shouldn't adorn her hair too gaudy.

After all, you haven't really been promoted yet, so it's better not to be too high-profile.

Xia Yun said nothing, and the smile on her face did not change. She took the hairpin that Yun Qin had chosen and pinned it on Yun Qin. After a moment of careful observation, she smiled and said, "You are a good judge of taste. It is indeed very beautiful."

Yun Qin gave a dry laugh, truly admiring Aunt Xia Yun's art of speaking.

With an inadvertent glance, she saw Rong Xin staring at her hair in the mirror, and she laughed even more.

Sister Rong Xin also seemed to be struck by Aunt Xia Yun...
