Chapter 9 Clever Reply

When Yunqin returned to Chunxi Palace and heard that the emperor had passed away, she felt nothing but relief. She didn't want to face the emperor with such unpredictable thoughts.

Upon hearing that Yunqin had returned, Huipin specially called her over and first rewarded her with some silver. Then she said, "The emperor also thought the breakfast was delicious. It's a pity that you are not here, otherwise the emperor would definitely reward you as well."

After Huipin finished speaking, her eyes did not leave Yunqin's face, and she carefully observed her expression.

Rong Xin was standing next to the couch. Hearing this, she looked at Yun Qin nervously several times, fearing that she would give the wrong answer.

When Yunqin saw Huipin staring at her, she realized something was wrong. She immediately understood that she must have heard that the emperor asked her name, and her first reaction was to express her loyalty.

"I work for the Majesty, how dare I covet the Emperor's reward."

Seeing that she had no strange expression on her face and her words were pleasant to the ear, Huipin's smile became more genuine. "You just have a bad mouth."

After saying that, she yawned and supported her waist, "I am tired too, help me lie down for a while."

After Huipin fell asleep and Rongxin was watching over her, Yunqin left the inner hall. As soon as she came out, she ran into Ajing.

When Ah Jing saw her, she immediately smiled at her and said, "You were not here before, so I didn't know..."

Hearing her speak without restraint, Yun Qin quickly gestured to her to keep quiet and pulled her out of the main hall.

"The queen is sleeping, and you don't even know to keep your voice down. I think you are getting worse and worse. Do you want to be beaten by Sister Rong Xin again?" Yun Qin said unhappily.

Ah Jing was startled, she covered her mouth, and whispered: "I didn't know the queen was asleep. Sister Rong Xin was angry with me, good Yunqin, please don't tell her."

Ajing is one year younger than Yunqin. She is petite and cute, lively and simple-minded. She is an outlier in this palace where everyone is smart.

But she was very lucky. As soon as she entered the palace, she was taken care of by Nanny Ruan, and Rong Xin loved her. With these two people protecting her, Ajing never suffered any major loss.

Seeing that she was frightened, Yun Qin suppressed the corners of her mouth and pretended to be serious, "You don't have to tell me, but Sister Rong Xin just made a new sachet for me, and it's still missing a string."

As a person who traveled through time, Yunqin's female workers were a complete mess, but when walking in the palace, they had to have one or two things to show off, so they could only resort to various tricks.

Ah Jing had no idea of ​​Yun Qin's "treacherousness", and upon hearing this, she nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, I will definitely find the best solution for you."

Yun Qin couldn't help but curl her lips, "You promised this yourself."

Seeing Yunqin laughing, Ah Jing reacted immediately and angrily hit her arm, "Okay, you lied to me again."

"Tsk, tsk..." Yun Qin hurriedly signaled her to keep her voice down.

Ajing covered her mouth again and glared at Yunqin angrily.

Yun Qin stopped teasing her and held her arm, "Don't be angry, the queen gave me money, when I go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs again, I will ask someone to buy you some snacks outside the palace, okay?"

Ah Jing's eyes lit up, "Then you must keep your word."

"Don't worry." Yun Qin chuckled and asked her, "What did you want to tell me just now?"

Ah Jing then remembered the important matter and said excitedly, "It's all about Kong Danying. When I told the queen what she said, Kong Danying's maid Zisang turned pale. When I came back and told the queen about it, she was very happy. I saw that she was no longer angry with me."

Yun Qin's face turned stern again after hearing this. "You'll learn your lesson from now on. I'll teach you a lesson for not talking nonsense in front of the Empress!"

"I won't dare to do that again."

"And don't talk about Kong Danying to others anymore. She is the master after all, and it's not for us to discuss her." Yun Qin admonished again.

Ah Jing nodded. After being scolded by her, she was no longer as excited as before.

Yun Qin saw her aggrieved look and reached out to rub her head. "Oh, our A Jing is so awesome today, isn't she? How come she is so awesome?"

"You just know how to coax me!" Although Ah Jing said this, her face brightened up again. She hugged Yun Qin's arm and asked her what color lace she wanted.

The two were talking affectionately when suddenly a cold shout came: "You don't have to work, right? Why are you just sitting here chattering?"

It was Rong Zhi who came. It was unknown how long she had slept, but she looked haggard, and her skin, which was not fair to begin with, looked even darker and yellower.

"What are you looking at? Go do something!"

When Ah Jing saw her, she immediately became like a cat with its fur standing on end. She suppressed her voice and said angrily, "Can you please keep your voice down? The queen is sleeping!"

Rong Zhi was choked by these words. Yun Qin saw her face changing from green to red, so she suppressed her smile, took Ah Jing's hand, and said to Rong Zhi, "Let's go to the small kitchen to see what dishes the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent today. If Doctor Zhang Yu comes later, don't forget to take him to see Kong Danying."

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Rongzhi a chance to speak and just pulled Ajing away.

After they walked away, Yun Qin laughed out loud and said to A Jing: "Our A Jing is really getting better and better."

Ah Jing was still in a state of confusion. Hearing the voice, she scratched her temples and said, "Is there?" Then she asked in confusion, "Why did you let her take Doctor Zhang Yu to the West Palace? I also want to imitate Kong Danying's angry look and show it to the Queen."

"Stupid!" Yun Qin poked her face. "You went there this morning just to pass on a message. Kong Danying was only angry at the Empress. But if you really want to take Doctor Zhang Yu with you, she will hate you. We can't do such a thing that will make people hate us."

Ah Jing seemed to understand, and said angrily: "Who made her always look so pitiful? It's just like the queen bullied her. She is such a disgusting person!"

Yun Qin couldn't help laughing and poked her face again, "Who are we? Do we need to stand up for the queen? Instead of feeling sorry for the queen who is sleeping comfortably, you should feel sorry for me. I've been busy all morning and haven't eaten a single bite yet."

"It's almost noon!" Ah Jing screamed after hearing this and immediately pulled her to the small kitchen, "Come on, Sister Rong Xin must have left some food for you."
