Qing Glaze paid a little attention to the surroundings of the yard as he ran by. Although there was a thin layer of snow on the road, the snow in the yard seemed to have been swept away. There was still a heater in the house. When he walked into the house, he felt a warmth on his body. I think the Empress did too.
She wasn't so heartless, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty..." Qingglai saw Al Yunduo sleeping on the couch, with a hint of blame in her tone, "Why did you fall asleep on the couch again?"
Al Yunduo, who was sleeping lightly, kept hearing someone muttering something, which made her upset. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Qing Glaze holding a blanket. She thought she was dazzled and rubbed it subconsciously.
Sleepy eyes.
"My slave has told you many times that it's easy to catch a cold like this..." Qing Glaze said while sniffing, "Now my slave is not with you, and no one is here to cover you with a quilt. If you catch a cold..."
Even if it’s cold, no one will take care of you..."
Al Yunduo turned over and looked intently at the scar on her forehead. She felt a sudden sadness in her heart. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but she didn't dare to touch it. She learned about what happened that night from Tong Zhuo last night.
This is the injury you suffered for yourself.
So he stood up pretending to be relaxed and said with a smile: "How can I be as delicate as you, the golden girl? By the way, Qingglai, how did you get in? You couldn't have climbed over the wall, right?"
"Sister Fanghua let the slave in, but the slave can't stay for a while, otherwise I'm afraid it will hurt her," Qingglai wiped her tears with her sleeves and asked worriedly, "Is the empress doing well here? Empress.
Did the empress criticize the empress harshly?"
Al Yunduo pointed to the furnishings in the room, including the incense burner, snacks and hot tea. He spread his hands and said with a smile: "Apart from the fact that I was a little bored with no one to talk to, she didn't bother me at all. It's much better than Leng Gong after all."
,dont you agree?"
"That's true..." Returning to the topic, Qing Glaze quickly took the things out of her sleeves and handed them to her with both hands, "Leader Tong asked someone to bring this back from outside. I asked this slave to hand it over to you.
"
This bottle was exactly the same as the one Tong Zhuo gave her before. Could it be Dongjue wine? Al Yunduo couldn't hide his excitement and quickly uncorked the bottle and took a sniff.
"It smells so good!" She sighed with contentment, carefully held the porcelain bottle in her hand, and asked, "Where are the others? Why don't you bring it to me yourself?"
"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has been feeling unwell these past two days. Chief Tong seems to be tracking down something. I, the servants, dare not ask more about the specifics. Your Majesty, you..."
"Qing Glaze...Qing Glaze, are you okay?" Fanghua outside the door suddenly urged nervously, "Come out quickly, they are coming..."
Qing Glaze ran to the door and took a look outside, then hurriedly ran back and said: "Empress, Lord Azhe has rushed to Dongjue. I think Dongjue Khan will come to Kyoto to discuss this matter soon. When the time comes, you will
It will come out soon, it’s time for me to leave, please take care of yourself.”
After giving a deep bow, she turned around and left. She came and went in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to say another word.
Al Yunduo watched her skirt disappear at the door. Not long after, a palace maid appeared at the door. The palace lady looked inside specifically, as if to confirm if there was anything abnormal inside, and she met Al Yunduo's eyes unexpectedly.
And met.
"Empress Yun, it's very windy and snowy outside, you'd better go back to the house," the palace maid bowed in vain and said in a weird voice, "Don't catch the cold and let the empress worry..."
Of course, she thought that Al Yunduo would be a well-behaved and obedient little cat who could be bullied after settling down in Fengwei Palace for a few days. Little did she know that Al Yunduo had always been a little wild cat with sharp claws.
"I can watch the snow if I like, it's none of your business!" After saying that, he slammed the door hard. After that, he was still a little upset, so he opened the door again and threw something at her, pointing at her angrily.
He cursed, "I haven't been deposed yet, but you, a dog slave, have eyes that reach to the sky. You are really a dog that relies on human power!"
The palace maid looked at the hand stove that had smashed a small nest on the ground and was still spinning. She touched her face with some lingering fear and murmured: "Crazy, what a crazy woman..."
And the "mad woman" she calls is lying comfortably on the couch, drinking and having fun, intoxicated.
The sun had only shined for a while when I woke up in the morning, and now it was snowing heavily. Chu Miaoer saw that the Queen Mother above was chattering, opening and closing her mouth, but she didn't listen to anything, she just smiled.
Looking at her dreamingly.
Early this morning, Chu Qianqian took her to see Chu Xianxue, and talked to her a lot along the way, most of which were about her childhood. She naturally knew Chu Qianqian's intentions, but the three sisters'
Emotions are not really close, and if you talk about them too much, they will appear false.
After all, Chu Qianqian also regretted the decision she made on the spur of the moment. But Chu Xianxue is really pitiful. Now that she has lost her favor and the bargaining chip in her belly, she has not seen each other for a few days, and she is already haggard. Even her in this drama
It is hard for outsiders to imagine how big of a blow this was to her.
"Miao'er, Aijia sees that you are distracted, are you listening?" the queen mother looked at her lovingly and asked.
Chu Miaoer suddenly came back to her senses and responded with a slight smile: "My daughter-in-law just suddenly remembered the scene of visiting Concubine Xue in the morning. She was distracted for a moment. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
"Concubine Xue is indeed pitiful..." The Queen Mother and Chu Qianqian looked at each other and sighed with regret in their tone, "It's a pity that the fate of the women in the harem has never been up to them. Miaoer... I kept you in the palace.
, don’t blame the queen, this is all the intention of the Ai family, but if you want to blame it, you have to blame yourself.”
The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the smile on her face disappeared completely. She asked in a deep voice: "Do you know why the Ai family did this?"
It was clear in her heart that she couldn't be more clear, but she couldn't be smart at the moment. Ignoring Chu Qianqian's worried eyes, Chu Miaoer lowered her eyes slightly, shook her head and said, "My daughter-in-law is stupid, please let me know clearly."
"The Ai family knows that Concubine Yun had a good relationship with you before she entered the palace, so it is understandable that she is still worried about you after entering the palace. Not to mention that she is now a concubine in the harem, she is still a princess of Dongjue! The fourth prince still knows
You want to avoid suspicion, but you don’t know that you are the fourth princess?" The Queen Mother stood up directly when she got excited, "Since she has been sent to the palace, she is the emperor's woman and my concubine, so she must obey me.
The law of Dajin. If you hurt my royal heirs, even if they are cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, it is not an exaggeration!"
Seeing this, the palace attendants of Xiangfu Palace were so frightened that they quickly knelt down for fear of harming the pond fish.
"Now the emperor is just thinking about Dong Jue who is about to move behind her, and she did not do this alone, so he does not punish her severely, but you will never be able to protect her! The Dong Jue people may not understand it either.
"Your love," the Queen Mother looked at her steadily and asked word by word, "now do you know why?"
Chu Qianqian's worried eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them. Although she had had this idea, she still didn't want the Queen Mother to attack Chu Miao'er because of this.
"Queen Mother..." She stood up and persuaded softly, "The Fourth Princess..."
"Queen! Why are you interrupting when the Ai family is talking to the fourth princess?" The Queen Mother glanced at Chu Qianqian unhappily, "Where have you remembered all the rules?"
Chu Qianqian smiled awkwardly, looked at Chu Miao'er and sat down again.
"This time I just give you a small lesson, so that you can always remember that you are the fourth princess of Dajin. Don't always rely on the Ai family's tolerance for you and the fourth prince's love for you to do whatever you want.
It's better to think about your own affairs more than anything else." The Queen Mother held her forehead and shook her head sadly, "But the Ai family had good intentions in keeping you in the palace. Yun Qi obviously didn't understand.
After leaving here, the Ai family sent people to the Fourth Prince's house to invite him but they couldn't come."
After Qin Luoge's incident, the Queen Mother's opinion of her became more and more profound, and she was no longer as kind and kind as she was at the beginning. In the past, Chu Miao'er could still regard her as Fu Yunqi's mother, but now she has to regard her as Fu Yunqi's mother at all times.
She is regarded as a graceful and noble Queen Mother.
"Thank you for your mother's teachings. At first, my daughter-in-law felt pity for Concubine Yun when she saw her alone in the palace. But after her mother said this, my daughter-in-law realized that she had been too reckless before. Now that she has entered the palace, what will she do with her life?
It all depends on her own destiny..." Chu Miao'er first bowed her head in submission, and then comforted her softly, "The fourth prince has always cared about his mother, and he will definitely understand her good intentions."
Now that Chu Miao'er had clearly separated the identities of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, she naturally had a lot of rules in her words, and her words of agreement were so flawless that even the Queen Mother couldn't find anything wrong for a while, so she had no choice but to smile and nod.
"Queen," the Queen Mother tilted her head to look at Chu Qianqian and asked flatly, "I heard that Concubine Xue's mental state is deteriorating day by day, and even the imperial doctor is helpless?"
Talking about Chu Xianxue, Chu Qianqian also sighed, "It's the queen mother. The imperial doctor said that Concubine Xue has no will to live. I go to Lingxuan Hall to visit her every day, but she never wants to talk to me. That's also today."
Morning..." She glanced at Chu Miao'er, "When the fourth princess went with me, she barely responded twice."
"Oh?" The Queen Mother's eyes visibly lit up, and she said in a matter-of-fact tone, "The Ai family knows that Miao'er has always been full of tricks... Hey, the Ai family originally said that Miao'er would go back to the house tomorrow, but in this case it will be temporary.
Staying in the palace is just in compliance with the Queen’s previous words and it will be convenient to take care of Concubine Xue. Miao’er, do you have any objections?”
How could the Queen Mother really care about the life and death of a concubine, even if she was the Queen's biological sister? It was just that there was an honest reason to treat her.
Chu Miaoer smiled lightly, saluted and said, "Yes, the daughter-in-law is entirely up to the mother."
