Chapter 333 So what if it’s sincere?

It just rained yesterday, and it seemed like the weather turned cold overnight.

When she woke up in the morning, Rong Xin wanted to add more clothes to Yun Qin, but she thought it was unnecessary. However, when the sky got cloudy in the afternoon, she found a piece of clothing and put it on herself.

Rong Xin was delighted to see this.

The weather was gloomy and there was nothing to do, so Yun Qin asked Dan Xue to bring the chessboard and the two of them studied the chess record.

As soon as the empress returned to the palace, Yunqin received the news.

"Master, do you think the Queen succeeded?"

As soon as Xiao Shunzi left, Danxue, who was sitting opposite her, asked.

Yun Qin held the chess piece in her hand and pondered for a moment before she said, "My promotion to Zhaoyi must have greatly stimulated the Queen Mother. This way, the Queen's chances of success are much greater."

Dan Xue nodded continuously after listening to this, and said, "I don't know if the emperor has already known the queen's intention. The master's promotion has indeed come at the right time."

Yun Qin shook her head, "Your Majesty probably doesn't know that although he was cruel to the Queen Mother this time, he is still filial to her in his heart and would not let her suffer such a great shock."

She lowered her eyes slightly and put down a chess piece. "When the emperor finds out that I gave the queen such a bad idea, he might be angry with me."

"Your Majesty's idea also helps the Emperor. The Emperor will not be unable to distinguish right from wrong, right?"

Dan Xue and Rong Xin looked at each other and said.

Yun Qin did not comment, but just urged her to make her move.

Rong Xin hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips and said, "I feel that the master has put himself too low, as if the emperor would put state affairs and the empress dowager first, and then the empress."

"But I have watched coldly that the Emperor, for the sake of the Empress, did not hesitate to offend all the ministers. Because of this matter, the morning court was still in turmoil these few days."

Yun Qin paused as she was about to take the chess piece. In her heart, she agreed with Rong Xin's words because it was the truth. She was not blind and could not turn a blind eye to what Huo Jinchi had done recently.

But what does it matter?

If the emperor wants to favor you, he will certainly praise you to the sky. But if you really fly into the clouds, your final end will surely be torn to pieces.

Yun Qin never doubted Huo Jinchi's feelings at this moment. He must like her very much, which is why he spent so much time and effort on her, got angry because he didn't get a response, and was so picky about snacks that he didn't make himself.

But her life is not just about the present, or the next three to five years. She still has a long life ahead of her. For a longer period of time, she may be facing the days of being alone in an empty room.

By then, will she die?

Life in the palace made her understand that one can earn a person's love and favor through one's own efforts, rather than relying on the charity of others.

The emperor seems to control these women, but only those who are in the middle of it understand that they are actually manipulating the emperor. There are too many secrets hidden beneath the peace, and their fate is in their own hands.

In this case, whether or not you really like someone is not that important.

Besides, her value is not determined by how much a man likes her.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, Yun Qin picked up another chess piece, and smiled at Rong Xin: "You are right, I shouldn't think so lowly of myself, the emperor should put me first."

Seeing her smiling face, Rong Xin knew she was joking, and snorted, "It would be great if the master really has this intention."

Yun Qin smiled and played with the white jade chess piece with her fingers.

Who said she didn't have this intention?

After the game of chess was over, Xiao Shunzi came in from outside again and said that the empress had gone to the Tongming Palace.

"The master is right. The Empress must have taken back the Empress Dowager's edict of guilt." Dan Xue said happily.

Yun Qin raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she had expected this, she was still a little surprised when the matter was settled.

Many thoughts flashed through my mind, and in the end only a sigh remained.

"The Queen Mother is so devoted to the Fang family that she is willing to sacrifice herself for it."

At this moment Yun Qin was actually somewhat thankful that she was not reincarnated as a young lady from a noble family and did not have to bear the burden of the entire family. Otherwise, she would not be able to escape the fate of being sucked dry by the entire family like the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

Yun Qin originally thought that Huo Jinchi would come to Yanning Palace that night, either to question her or to tell her his opinion on the matter, but she didn't expect that he didn't come.

Seeing that she kept looking at the door, Rong Xin knew what she was thinking and whispered, "Aqin, don't wait any longer. The emperor must be busy with state affairs, and he doesn't act like this occasionally."

Yun Qin glanced at her and realized that she really seemed to be looking forward to Huo Jinchi's arrival.

She shook her head and smiled, "Maybe he's really angry with me."

Although she said this, Yun Qin didn't look nervous at all. Instead, she yawned and said, "It's all tomorrow's business. Let's go to sleep first and think about tomorrow's business tomorrow!"

The Queen returned to the palace, and without any special orders, she naturally had to pay her respects in the morning.

This was also the first time that Yunqin met the concubines in the palace after she was promoted to Zhaoyi.

Yunqin arrived neither too early nor too late. Concubine De and Fang Danying were already sitting in the palace.

Yunqin hasn't seen these two people for a long time.

Fang Danying was naturally because she had been under house arrest and was just allowed to leave the palace the day before yesterday. As for Defei, she was not seen in the temporary palace. Secondly, after returning to the palace, the Empress kept claiming to be sick and later went to the temporary palace. This was the first time she came to pay her respects.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort." Yun Qin naturally had to pay her respects.

"Xi Zhaoyi." Defei had a smile on her face, but her tone was somewhat ambiguous.

Yun Qin looked up at her and saw that she was much thinner than when she saw her before going to the palace, and her face was a little pale.

Although he still looked gentle, the drooping corners of his mouth revealed a hint of harshness.

It seems that being alone in the palace and holding power is not a pleasant feeling.

It's good to feel uncomfortable. If you live comfortably, Yun Qin will feel uncomfortable.

"Greetings to Empress Zhaoyi."

Yun Qin was brought back to her senses by the voice. She looked at Fang Danying in the direction of the voice. This person had changed a lot.

She no longer had the arrogance she had before, and now looked somewhat calm.

As expected, experience can transform a person.

"No need to be so polite." Yun Qin also responded lightly.

After paying respects and taking their seats, Concubine Shen arrived shortly after. Seeing the three people sitting in the hall in the shape of a triangle, she couldn't help but slow down her steps as she walked in.

After the ceremony, Concubine Shen sat next to Yunqin and said with a smile, "I have been busy these days and have not yet congratulated Empress Zhaoyi."

In this palace, she is probably the only one who can say such words without any regret.

"Thank you." Yun Qin smiled at her, "How is the little princess?"

"She's fine. Maybe she's been well taken care of in the palace. Her appetite is getting bigger and bigger. We need to find her a wet nurse."

When talking about the little princess, Concubine Shen's face was full of kindness.

"Being able to eat well is a blessing. This means the little princess will get healthier and healthier in the future."

"Then I'll take your good words, Madam."

For a moment, there were only two voices talking in the palace. Fang Daying wanted to say that he couldn't get a word in, while Defei's eyes flashed with disdain.

Liu Cainv's wife came late, but she looked the same as before, not thinner nor fatter, her complexion was very good, and she always smiled at everyone she met.

When everyone was present, the Queen came out from the back hall soon after.

Fang Danying finally had someone to talk to, and asked many questions about the Queen Mother's condition.
