Chapter 24 Good News

Ordinary days always pass quickly, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

This dullness was only felt by Yun Qin, but other people in Chunxi Palace did not think so, because in their eyes, the relationship between Yun Qin and Rong Xin was no longer as good as before, and they were even hostile to each other.

This month, Huipin did many things that intensified the "conflict" between Yunqin and Rongxin. The two of them couldn't just act in front of her and be affectionate in front of outsiders, so they had to put on a "stage" and make a few noises in front of the palace people.

In order to make the play more realistic, Yunqin moved out of her original room and lived with Ajing.

It made the palace people feel like they were back to the time when Rong Zhi was still alive.

The only difference is that Rongzhi has Huipin's favor, but Yunqin doesn't. Huipin even seems to favor Rongxin more.

And Rong Xin is not a person with a bad temper. Her qualifications and experience are there for her. Many times, Yun Qin deliberately made trouble, but was suppressed by Rong Xin, and then she could only vent her anger on the palace people.

"What are you looking at? Go and sweep the yard. You are all lazy idiots!" Yun Qin was standing and talking with Rong Xin. When she saw someone looking at them, she immediately shouted angrily.

She is now also a senior palace maid, so no one dared to say much and could only stay away from the two of them.

Not far away, the young eunuch who saw this scene said to Xiao Dezi beside him: "She spoke so harshly, I guess she was scolded by Sister Rong Xin again."

Xiao Dezi glanced at Yun Qin, but what he was thinking about was what she said to him that day. It was clear that she wanted him to follow Rong Xin well, so how could she have such a quarrel with Rong Xin?

He intuitively felt that the discord between the two was probably fake. Given Sister Yunqin's intelligence and shrewdness, if she really wanted to fight Rong Xin, how could this result have happened?

The young eunuch knew that Xiao Dezi was recently admired by Rong Xin and often did things for her, so he deliberately flattered her by saying, "Yun Qin only knows how to yell at us, how can she compare to Sister Rong Xin's generosity."

"Shut up. How come Sister Yunqin can't compare to Rongxin?" Xiao Dezi glared at him.

The young eunuch was a little surprised. He thought he was on Rong Xin's side.

Xiao Dezi also realized that what he said was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "What I mean is, don't say such things anymore in the future. If it gets to other people's ears, we'll see which of these two people will let you go."

"Yes, yes, I'll just say less." The young eunuch looked flattering.

Xiao Dezi snorted lightly and looked at Yun Qin in the distance.

Because they were far away, he couldn't hear their voices or see their expressions clearly. He could only see the green hairband on Yun Qin's head dancing in the wind, floating around as if it was flying in the sky.

"Let's go and do our work."

Yun Qin, who was standing with Rong Xin, kept her eyes on the surroundings. When she saw that everyone had left, she relaxed and cried to Rong Xin, "If you keep acting like this, I can even join a southern opera troupe to sing!"

Rong Xin laughed and whispered to her, "Just be patient. We've made enough noise now. The Queen won't let us really fall out and won't continue to provoke us. We just need to stay like this."

Yun Qin nodded and looked around again, "I chased everyone away. What did Sister want to tell me?"

Rong Xin, who was always calm, held her hand excitedly, "It's good news. Nanny Ruan and a group of other old maids will be moved to the hospice this month!"

"Really!" Yun Qin was delighted, but her mood suddenly turned gloomy again, "Then, then I will have to leave you and Ajing."

She had nothing in this world except her two sisters, Rong Xin and A Jing. They were so kind to her that Yun Qin had long regarded them as her closest relatives.

When Yun Qin thought that it would be difficult to see each other again from now on, her eyes immediately turned red.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Rong Xin's nose was also sore, and she whispered: "The hospice is not outside the palace. Ajing and I can still find a chance to visit you. You don't have to be sad and let others see it."

Hearing that they could still come to see her, Yun Qin finally smiled, "If anyone sees me, I'll say you scolded me and made me cry."

"You're naughty." Rong Xin glared at her, feeling happy for her from the bottom of her heart. "I heard that the Empress Dowager has personally selected a few palace maids and aunts, and they will be sent over after the Empress is released from house arrest. When the time comes, Nanny Ruan can ask to take you away, and the Empress Dowager will not stop it."

Yun Qin wiped her eyes and said anxiously, "The people chosen by the Queen Mother must be qualified. What will you do if you are squeezed out by them?"

"Look at you." Rong Xin saw that she had rubbed her eyes red, so she took up a handkerchief and rubbed them for her. "How am I worse than them? Besides, since the Queen Mother chose them to come here, they are here to discipline the Queen. The Queen hates being disciplined, so they are afraid that they will not get any benefit."

"Besides, Huipin is suspicious and will trust my sister more than them." Yunqin continued her words.

Rong Xin nodded, looked at her flower-like face, and said softly: "Don't worry, Ajing will be able to leave the palace in a few years. If there is an amnesty, it may be earlier. I will also leave the palace one day, and we will meet one day."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

"Sister told me not to cry, but you cried first." Yun Qin held back her tears and teased her deliberately, "If someone sees you, you can say that you cried because I pissed you off."

Rong Xin was amused and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, "This is a good thing. We are not allowed to cry."

She held Yunqin's hand again and warned her, "You must keep this in mind and never show it or leak it out. Ah Jing is simple-minded and I'm afraid she can't keep it secret, so I won't tell her first."

Yun Qin nodded. "Her birthday is in a month. I'll tell her then. She'll definitely scold me severely then."

Rong Xin smiled, but her eyes turned red again, "On the day you left, she was still able to see you off and cry bitterly, but I..."

She couldn't continue talking at this point, and tears immediately fell. By then, she would definitely stay by Huipin's side, and she couldn't cry or even show the slightest bit of sadness on her face.

Yun Qin wanted to tease her, but she just couldn't force a smile.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Rong Xin quickly wiped her tears and said, "Look at what happened to me. Now I have to say that I am crying because you pissed me off."

Knowing that she was teasing her on purpose, Yun Qin curled the corners of her lips, and the tears that had accumulated in her eyes were squeezed out.

Rong Xin hurriedly wiped her tears, "Good Yunqin, let's not cry, sister is just happy for you."

Yun Qin rubbed her nose and said with a soft nasal tone, "Well, I'm happy for myself too."

"Silly girl!" Rong Xin was stunned, then cursed with a smile.

After laughing, Rong Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "In this case, we will have to wait for a month. Your estimate is correct. The emperor seems to have forgotten about you for the time being. This way, we don't have to worry about any unexpected changes."

Yun Qin paused while wiping her tears. She had not told Rong Xin about her last encounter with the emperor in Yu Garden.

Firstly, their schedules were always different, and when they were together they spent most of their time acting. Secondly, she didn't want Rong Xin to be frightened by her.

Anyway, the emperor hasn't done anything this month, maybe he has really forgotten about her.
