Chapter 28 The Best at Fooling People

Yun Qin and Rong Xin didn't dare to talk for long. After a few words, they went their separate ways.

On the way back to the room, Yun Qin ran into an unexpected person.

She is Zisang, Kong Danying's personal maid in the West Palace.

"Sister Zisang, how come you have time to come visit me today?"

Yun Qin went forward and glanced behind her. That was Rong Zhi's residence.

Ever since Rongzhi was abandoned by Huipin and she had been confined to her room before, Huipin did not dare to do anything to her. She just sent her to live in the most remote ear room and had someone watch her and not allow her to leave the room.

Why did she go to see Rongzhi?

Zi Sang's expression did not change, instead he said warmly, "Nothing else, I just heard that Rong Zhi has been ill and she used to walk around a lot, so I came to see her."

What do you mean by moving around often? The only time she remembered moving around with the West Palace was probably when Rong Zhi took Doctor Zhang Yu to the West Palace, right?

I'm afraid this is not to add insult to injury.

Yun Qin suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Then take care, Sister Zisang."

Watching Zisang leave, Yunqin did not return to her room immediately, but walked a few steps towards Rongzhi's residence.

I listened for a while, and it was quiet inside, as if nothing was happening.

Has Rong Zhi changed her temper recently? She didn't even get angry when someone came to her house.

Yun Qin was a little confused and kept this matter in mind.

——

Two days later, Huipin asked Yunqin to make snacks again.

"Change three things, just do whatever you want." Huipin leaned on the pillow, looking lazy.

Now her belly has grown bigger, but she doesn't look as plump as before.

In the past few days, Huipin's appetite has just deteriorated again. Doctor Zhang Yu said it was because the fetus was pressing on her internal organs. In order to ensure nutrition, both Yu Hospital and the kitchen were trying to find ways to make supplements for her, but she still lost weight visibly.

She was not as energetic as she was a few days ago, but even so, she did not forget to torment Yun Qin.

Yun Qin went to make some snacks, and when she brought them into the palace, she saw the palace maid named Xin'er was also in the palace.

Hearing the voice, Huipin, who was dozing with her eyes closed, opened her eyes, glanced at Yunqin and said, "It's too tiring for you to run to the front alone. This time, bring Xin'er with you and let her help you carry the things."

Yun Qin glanced at Xin'er who didn't dare to raise her head. She wouldn't be so stupid as to believe that Huipin asked her to help her. It was more like she was just monitoring herself.

I don’t know what made Huipin suspicious?

Huipin has already taken a look at Yunqin's outfit. Today she is wearing a newly made willow-colored palace dress. It is not a fitted dress and still cannot hide her slender waist.

On her head was the gold-inlaid jade hairpin that I had awarded her before. It matched her palace dress perfectly and was more refreshing and charming than the spring breeze outside.

Huipin looked away with a cold face, "Not bad, go ahead."

Yun Qin responded, turned her head to look at Xin'er, and handed the food box in her hand to her.

Xin'er looked up at her, then quickly lowered her eyes and followed her like a quail.

After leaving the house, she timidly said to Yun Qin: "Sister, don't be angry, this is the queen's intention, I dare not disobey."

Yun Qin glanced at her and said, "What are you saying? Didn't Her Majesty send you here because she felt sorry for me? Why should I be angry? You have been quite appreciated by Her Majesty recently. Her Majesty asked you to help me carry things, so please don't be angry with me."

"No, how could that be?" Xin'er seemed as if her thoughts were discovered. She could only smile awkwardly, lower her head and dare not say another word.

Yun Qin snorted when she saw her like this.

She had the audacity to tell Concubine Hui her secret. How could she be a little white rabbit? She must be a thousand-year-old fox, playing Liao Zhai with her.

And Huipin thought that someone was watching her and she had no way to do anything?

The two of them soon arrived at the door of Yu's study.

The first person I met was naturally Xu An.

"Miss Yunqin is here again?" Xu An's smile was both attentive and forced.

Last time, the emperor tasted all the snacks that he almost threw away, and didn't even eat much for lunch. It shows how much he likes Yun Qin. How could he not be more attentive?

But he couldn't praise Miss Yunqin's temper, and he didn't know what tricks she would use to anger the emperor this time.

"Eunuch Xu, this is the snack that my queen asked me to prepare. Please inform her." Yun Qin faced Xin'er's gaze without any guilt.

Wasn't it Huipin who asked her to prepare this snack?

Xu An waited for a while, but didn't hear the second half of her sentence, so he subconsciously asked, "That's all?"

"What's missing?" Yun Qin then seemed to have just remembered something, and pointed at Xin'er and said, "Are you asking about this girl? She's a little maid in the palace, and she's still young and naive. The queen asked me to teach her how to do things, so here I am, bringing her here to teach her the ropes."

Xu An was helpless. It seemed like you just came by to give him some snacks, right?

"Sir, there's no need to tell the emperor about this trivial matter, right?" Yun Qin said to Xu An again, as if she was trying to cover up her guilt.

She had to strike a balance. If she told the emperor every time that she did not come here voluntarily, he might get really angry and call her in and punish her. That would be bad.

I have to cover it up, make him feel that I am afraid of him, and also tell him that I came here today because I really wanted to bring snacks to you.

Hearing him say this, the smile on Eunuch Xu's face became more genuine, "Don't worry, young lady, I won't bother the emperor with this matter."

As a result, he turned around and repeated all these words to Hawking without missing a word.

"Your Majesty, I see that Miss Yunqin is worried that you might misunderstand her, so she didn't invite her into the palace." Finally, Xu An said with a smile.

The Emperor should meet Miss Yunqin this time. Miss Yunqin has dressed up carefully today. When the Emperor sees her, he will definitely not be angry at all, right?

Just as he was thinking this, he heard Hawking Chi sneer from above, and said coldly without stopping writing: "Don't act so smart here. Tell her, no!"

It's too late to be afraid now! Let her go back to the training!

“Wait!”

Xu An had no choice but to walk back and ask, "What else does the emperor want to say?"

"Didn't she bring a maid with her?" Huo Jinchi held the pen in his hand, "Ask the maid to bring in some snacks."

Xu An was stunned, not understanding what the emperor was going to do, but since the emperor gave the order, he just had to do it.

When Xu An conveyed the emperor's intention, Xin'er was completely stunned, and then she was so excited that her face turned red.

Yun Qin looked calm and said to her, "Then follow Eunuch Xu into the palace, and be careful with your words."

"Yes, I understand."

Xu An glanced at Yun Qin again before looking at Xin Er, "Then you can come with Za's family."

Yun Qin watched the two people enter the hall and wrinkled her nose slightly. What did he mean? He wanted her to be jealous of a little girl. What a childish behavior!

"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."

"Leave your things behind and get out!"

Completely different from what Xu An thought, the emperor didn't even look up and let the person go.

Xin'er was also a little confused. She was so frightened and at a loss what to do that she almost collapsed in the hall. She was still dragged out of the hall by Xu An.

After pulling the man out, Xu An came back with the food box, took out the snacks inside and placed them on Huo Jinchi's table.

"Why did you suddenly become mute?" Huo Jinchi stopped writing, took the towel handed to him by the palace maid, wiped his hands, and said to Xu An.

Xu An chuckled, "Doesn't the emperor always blame me for being too talkative?" When he saw the emperor looking over, he quickly said, "The emperor knows Concubine Hui's temper and is afraid that Miss Yunqin will be punished when she returns, so he sent the snacks in, right?"

"I really thought you were old and your brain was rusty." Huo Jinchi snorted and laughed.

Xu An smiled again and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. When Miss Yunqin comes again, I will ask her whether she was punished when she returned." He also told her of the emperor's painstaking efforts.

Huo Jinchi didn't comment, picked up a piece of snack, looked at it carefully and sneered, "Hui Bin asked me to prepare it, right? You are really good at fooling people."
