The Queen's Beggar's Wife

At this moment, a court lady came in and announced: "I want to report to the empress, the cook Zhao from the imperial dining room has arrived."

"Biography." Chu Yueyin stood up, supported Concubine Li Xian with her own hands, and said to the other four wives, "You all get up and retreat."

Concubine Lixian led the wives to salute, and retreated out one by one.

Chu Yueyin went back to the chair and sat down. Not long after, a man dressed as a cook from the imperial dining room came in with his head bowed, kneeling respectfully on the ground.

"Zhao Yi kowtowed to the empress."

"You are Zhang Bing's younger brother Zhao Yi? Lift your head and answer."

"Exactly." Zhao Yi raised his head while speaking.He was in his thirties, with a short stature, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a loyal face, not like the kind of troublemaker.

Chu Yueyin nodded in satisfaction, "Very good. Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Zhao Yi replied honestly: "I don't know the little one."

"This Palace wants you to go to the Lenggong Palace to take care of Concubine Xueshu's meals." Chu Yueyin looked at Zhao Yi's surprised expression, curled the corners of her mouth, and smiled slightly, "Why, don't you want to go?"

Zhao Yi was dazzled by Chu Yueyin's slight smile, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly lowered his head: "Little one, listen to the queen's orders."

"Okay. As long as you work hard and prepare the meals well, so that Concubine Xue Shu can eat well and eat at ease, I will reward you a lot."

"Thank you, Empress! I will do my best and will not slack off."

Yinqiao's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, the doctor girl Moli has arrived."

"Biography." Chu Yueyin said to Zhao Yi again, "Get up."

"Yes!" Zhao Yi stood up, stepped aside and stood still, with his head down.

Moli in white and plain gown carried the medical kit on her back, accompanied by Yinqiao, entered the hall, and bowed respectfully to Chu Yue.

Chu Yueyin got up to support Moli, looked at her calm face, and asked with a smile: "Ms. Moli, how long has it been since I saw you?"

Moli lowered her eyes and said, "It's been half a year since I returned to Empress Empress."

"Your attitude towards me is still as indifferent as before." After Chu Yueyin sighed lightly, she got straight to the point, "I called you here today, do you know why?"

Moli glanced at Zhao Yi lightly, and said: "The emperor has already ordered. The little one is ordered by the empress."

"Yinqiao, prepare the chariot." Chu Yueyin's bright eyes swept over Mo Li and Zhao Yi, and said to them, "You all follow me to the Leng Palace now."

"Yes." Moli and Zhao Yi replied together.

In less than half an hour, Chu Yueyin was already in the cold palace.Except for Yinqiao, Beimingyu, Moli and Zhao Yi, she left everyone else out of the cold palace.

"The concubine (servant) pays respects to the empress." Xia Lianxue and Qiuyan hurried out of the room when they heard the transmission, and knelt down in the courtyard of the Leng Palace one after the other.

"It's cold on the ground, get up quickly." Chu Yueyin took the lead and walked towards the house, and as soon as she entered the house, she couldn't help frowning her eyebrows.This Lenggong not only has a small courtyard, but also a small room. Apart from a bed against the wall and a soft couch under the window, there is only one table and two wooden benches in the room.Moreover, the temperature in this room is also very low. The charcoal stove burns a small amount of ordinary charcoal, which is not enough to warm the whole room.

Chu Yueyin sat on the bed, reaching out to touch the quilt on the bed, it was not thick enough, and the quilt was made of cotton cloth, embroidered with very tacky flowers and plants.Xia Lianxue is pampered and pampered, I'm afraid she has never suffered such hardship.Seeing that her eye sockets were slightly red and her dark bags appeared, she must have not slept well last night and cried most of the night.

Thinking of this, Chu Yueyin slightly parted her cherry lips, and said slowly: "Zhao Yi, why don't you come over to see Concubine Shu."

Zhao Yi knelt down in front of Xia Lianxue as he said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Shu."

Xia Lianxue looked at Zhao Yi who was dressed as a cook in puzzlement.

"From now on, Zhao Yi will live in the cold palace, and will be responsible for Concubine Shu's meals." Chu Yueyin waved Zhao Yi to get up.

"Zhao Yi, you should find a room to live in first, then clean the kitchen, make a list of the things you need, and hand them to Madam Zhang when she comes after noon, and I will let people get what you want as soon as possible." Bring something here.

"Yes." Zhao Yi agreed and withdrew.

Chu Yueyin patted the quilt on the bed lightly, and stood up, "Concubine Shu, lie down on the bed, and let the nurse Moli take your pulse."

Xia Lianxue was startled, subconsciously backed away, and was supported by Beiming Yu and walked towards the bed.She struggled a bit, but couldn't break away from Beimingyu's hand.

"Concubine Shu, please!" Beiming Yu said respectfully, but her tone was undeniably firm.

Xia Lianxue had no choice but to lie down on the bed, turned her head and looked at Mo Li who was walking towards her in fear.

Yinqiao put the wooden stool beside the bed, Moli sat down, put three fingers on Xia Lianxue's bright wrist, and felt her pulse carefully.After a while, Moli withdrew her finger.

"Concubine Shu has been pregnant for more than two months, so far, the condition of the fetus is very good."

"That's great." Chu Yueyin stepped forward and reached out to caress Xia Lianxue's belly.

Xia Lianxue was startled, she subconsciously protected her lower abdomen, and looked at Chu Yueyin vigilantly, for fear that she would harm the child in her womb.

This action of Xia Lianxue was full of maternal love and desire to protect, which made Chu Yueyin's hand stop in the air.She withdrew her hand embarrassingly, and said to Xia Lianxue: "Concubine Shu, I have never been your enemy."

Disbelief and resentment were written all over Xia Lianxue's face. Chu Yueyin stole her sweetheart, not an enemy, but could they still be friends?

Chu Yueyin didn't mind, she smiled lightly, and said, "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it takes a long time to see people's hearts. If Concubine Shu doesn't believe it, I'll wait for the emperor to explain it to you. It's getting late, and I still have some things to arrange People do it, and I will come to see you some other day."

Xia Lianxue stared blankly at Chu Yueyin's leaving back, frowned her brows, and thought over and over of the few words she said just now.

Chu Yueyin stepped out of the room, took a few steps, and instructed Yinqiao in a low voice: "Take Zixia to the House of Internal Affairs in the afternoon, get two thicker quilts and five loads of silver charcoal in the name of my palace, and let Ji Xue The maids of the palace packed up some thick clothes and sent them over."

"Understood." Yinqiao responded.

"Chu Yueyin." Chu Yueyin suddenly heard someone calling her, and when she listened carefully, the voice came from a side room not far away.She looked over and saw Li Siyu smiling at her leaning against the door.

"Chu Yueyin, why are you so pale? Could it be that you have fallen out of favor? Ha, ha, ha!"

If Li Siyu hadn't called her out, Chu Yueyin would have forgotten that there was such a person in the cold palace.Looking at Li Siyu's malicious smile, her heart skipped a beat. How could she be so negligent to let Li Siyu get so close to Xia Lianxue.

Thinking of Li Siyu causing Teacher Wenhui to be kicked out of the palace and her reputation damaged, Chu Yueyin couldn't help but stepped forward to ridicule her.
