Chapter 304: Tormenting People
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the palace, the queen began to be lazy and simply excused herself from the morning greetings on the grounds of feeling unwell.
As a result, when Yunqin went to visit her, she saw her holding Zhaoning and smiling like a flower. She was holding Zhaoning's little hand and playing Doudoufei...
Yun Qin almost turned around and left.
It's not anything else, I'm just afraid that she will silence me.
In the end, he was dragged back by Lanying and drank a cup of tea before leaving.
The days were leisurely and a few more days passed.
Hawking Chi came to Anlan Pavilion.
If Yun Qin had not experienced it herself, she would have doubted whether he was sexually frigid. Other emperors would have loved to have sex with six women in one night, but he had to wait for the people from the Jingshifang in the harem to urge him.
That day she met the manager of the Jingshifang and noticed that half of his hair had turned white.
The main reason is that the palace is full of old people. The ministers of the previous dynasty are really incompetent and don’t quickly inject some fresh blood into the palace.
"You are in a daze even in front of me. Have they been too brave or too timid of you these days?" Huo Jinchi said unhappily.
Yun Qin came back to her senses and was amused by his words, "Just because you don't have the guts to do that, you can't just stare at the emperor?"
She blinked her eyelashes and said, "I am just stunned by the Emperor's grace."
If this kind of cheesy love talk happened in the previous life, the screen would probably be filled with comments like "greasy" and "awkward". But now, it will definitely control this inexperienced man.
The corner of Huo Jinchi's mouth curled up a little, but he sneered: "You are so smooth-talking." But his hand reached out and held Yun Qin's hand.
Yun Qin lowered her eyes and took a look.
Sometimes it's too easy and boring...
However, when she was carried into the bathroom for the third time, she regretted it and wanted to slap herself for her previous boast.
The bony fingers touched her slightly raised spine inch by inch, causing her to shudder. She didn't want to cry but was so annoyed that she wanted to hit someone.
When I moved my fingers down, before they touched the water, I heard her scream in pain.
"You're hurt, let me take a look..."
Yun Qin was startled and wanted to kick someone in anger, but the next second her ankle was grabbed. She struggled but failed to break free, and a sob came out of her throat.
The person in front of her smiled maliciously, held her crossed legs with his big hands, and coaxed her in a low voice.
No matter what he said, Yun Qin kept shaking her head, muttering, "I don't believe you, you..."
Before she could even utter the word "old man", the tone of her voice changed, and her slender white fingers grabbed a strand of hair and tightened it a little bit.
——
The next day, in the morning light, the person curled up in the thin blanket moved.
Yun Qin stuck her head out, her eyebrows slightly frowned by the strong light, her long eyelashes trembled, and finally she opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt her palms were hairy. When she lowered her head, she saw a bunch of hair in her palms...
Um?
Before her memory returned, Rong Xin, who had heard the noise, had already walked in.
"Aqin..." Her voice was filled with worry.
Yun Qin subconsciously tucked the hair in her hand under the pillow. She realized that this might be Hawking Chi's hair.
Although this was not the first time she had done something like "damaging a dragon's body", if her sister saw it, she would definitely be shocked again.
Rong Xin knew how serious the commotion was last night. Seeing Yun Qin's pale face, she walked over and touched her forehead, fearing that she would get angry again if she disagreed with her.
"Are you hungry? I asked someone to stew some bird's nest. Drink some before you go to sleep."
Yun Qin nodded and tried to get up by propping herself up on the bed with her arms. However, she had punched someone too hard last night and her hands were completely exhausted. After trying twice and failing to get up, she simply gave up and lay back down.
Seeing her like this, Rong Xin's face immediately turned dark.
She didn't dare say anything to the emperor, but she really didn't scold Xu An enough this morning. This old eunuch had been following the emperor's temper all day long and never said a word that was unpleasant to her.
I never knew how to persuade the emperor to come to the harem, but now the emperor has enough energy to torment people!
When she looked gloomy, Yun Qin was a little scared, "Who made me unhappy so early in the morning?"
Rong Xin glared at her and wanted to tell her that she shouldn't let the emperor do what he wanted, but thinking about the emperor's temper, she swallowed the words back.
"It's okay, just lie down, I'll bring you the bird's nest."
Yun Qin reached out and pulled her sleeve coquettishly, "Let others go, sister stay with me!"
Rong Xin snorted, but she was not restrained. There was a smile in her eyes. She shouted to the palace maid outside to bring the bird's nest. However, she could not sit still either, so she tied a handkerchief and wiped Yun Qin's face and hands.
Yun Qin wiped it and handed her the handkerchief, not forgetting to lean on her shoulder and said, "How can I live without my sister..."
Not only does she take care of Yunqin's daily life and palace affairs, she is also Yunqin's spiritual pillar.
"You are very good at coaxing people with your mouth." Rong Xin said, but still laughed.
"I swear to God, I speak from the heart."
Dan Xue came in from outside and saw this scene, and lowered her eyelids slightly.
"Master Yanwo is here."
Yun Qin looked at her carefully and saw that she had a smile on her lips and lowered her eyes, as if she had noticed that she was laughing secretly, but there was no sign of jealousy on her face.
Why would I be jealous?
Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Xi and Rong Xin were like sisters. Occasionally, one could hear the word "sister" from her mouth, and it was obvious who she was calling.
Anyone who understands his own status will not be jealous of such things.
Besides, the master has always treated her well. She is now in charge of the storehouse. Not only does the master often reward her with things, but he also often eats what the master eats.
Even the most respectable maid in the empress's palace might not receive such treatment.
Dan Xue stepped forward and handed the bird's nest to Rong Xin, then naturally took the handkerchief from her hand and took it to the basin to wash it.
She was still mumbling, "Master, everything in the palace is good, except that it's a little too humid. The weather is good today, I'll have someone move all your books out to dry them."
Yun Qin and Rong Xin looked at each other, then smiled and said, "Okay, there are still some brocade in the storeroom, take them out to air. I remember there is also a piece of water cloud yarn, take it out and send it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make you another summer dress, so that you can catch the tail end of summer beautifully."
Danxue was slightly startled. This Shuiyunsha was this year's tribute. The queen received two pieces and used one to make clothes, which was useless.
She gestured to look at Rong Xin, and when she saw her nod, she said with a happy face, "Thank you, Madam."
"Then I will go and dry the books for you."
Seeing her walk away lightly, Yun Qin took a sip of the Yanwo tea and said to Rong Xin, "Sister, please help me thank Madam Zhao."
The two palace maids she sent here are both excellent and I must thank them very much.
Rong Xin understood what she meant, "Why do you have to worry about this? I give money to her every month. Madam Zhao is so eager to build a memorial arch for Aqin."
"It's more like giving it to my sister. We all benefit from her."
"Just be poor!"
