The Queen's Beggar's Wife

Chu Yueyin walked into the wing room, and first took a look at the furnishings in the room.It is probably because this is only a temporary residence for the guards in the palace, so there is not much furniture, only a simple bed, a table, four stools, and a wooden frame for placing a washbasin.Except for two half-open windows, there is a large blank wall.

Chu Yueyin glanced around, and landed on the bed next to the wall. The quilt on it hadn't been folded yet. It can be seen how surprised and flustered Liu Qing was when she got up, for fear that the queen would wait outside the door for a long time.

Liu Qing followed Chu Yueyin's gaze, and blushed instantly in embarrassment. Since she couldn't make the bed in front of Chu Yueyin, she could only say embarrassingly: "Empress, please sit down!"

"Empress, please use..." After Chu Yueyin sat down at the table, Liu Qing also sat sideways, picked up the teapot on the table, was stunned for a moment, her hands stopped in mid-air, and the words she hadn't finished speaking stopped abruptly .He forgot that the teapot was out of water last night.

Chu Yueyin pretended not to notice Liu Qing's embarrassment, and glanced at Yinqiao.Yinqiao came over obediently and took the teapot from Liu Qing.

"Commander Liu, let the maidservant come. The empress has some special requirements for the temperature of the tea, and only the maidservant knows." Yinqiao beckoned to Li Yu who was standing by, and Li Yu followed Yinqiao out of the room.

Yin Qiao smiled at Li Yu, and said softly, "Li Guard, where is the hot water?"

She has such a beautiful smile!Li Yu was stunned for a moment, and stood there in a daze, her heart pounding.

"Hey, what are you looking at? Quickly tell me where there is hot water, the empress is waiting." Yinqiao stretched out her hand and shook Li Yu's eyes a few times.

Li Yu woke up and blushed immediately, "It's...in the small kitchen over there, I...I'll take you there."

Yinqiao looked at Li Yu with a funny face, his skin was really thin, just smiling at him could make his face blush like an overripe apple.

"Show me, and I'll get water myself. Do me one more favor, won't you?"

"Okay. What do you want me to do for you?" Li Yu responded briskly, raised her finger and pointed to a small room in the northwest corner of the courtyard.

"Go and invite Zhang Qing over immediately, and tell the Empress that the Empress wants to see him."

"Well, I'll go now." Li Yu hurried out of the courtyard and went to find Zhang Qing.

Yin Qiao looked at Li Yu's leaving back, and thought to herself, could it be that he has taken a fancy to her?Then he shook his head, how could it be possible, he was only about fifteen or sixteen years old, two or three years younger than himself, almost like a younger brother.

Yinqiao went to the kitchen to fetch hot water, quickly brewed tea, and sent it to Liu Qing's room.

After a while, Zhang Qing arrived, knelt on the ground and made a big salute, then sat beside Liu Qing.Although Zhang Qing also suffered multiple serious injuries in that assassination attack, his injuries were lighter than Liu Qing's, and he recovered in less than a month.

The 15 guards and maids that Chu Yueyin brought out of the palace that day were almost wiped out, leaving only Liu Qing, Zhang Qing and two other guards.In other words, one third of the thirty guards that Yu Wenhua specially arranged for Chu Yueyin was lost.In order to fill the vacancy, Yu Wenhua carefully selected 20 of the newly recruited palace guards and handed them over to Zhang Qing for a three-month special training.So Zhang Qing didn't return to Chu Yueyin's side until now.

Chu Yueyin picked up the teapot and poured three cups of tea, "Commander Liu and Guard Zhang, this first cup of tea represents my gratitude. In times of crisis, you did your best to protect this palace, and you almost lost your life as a thief." Hand, I am grateful. Please!"

"The empress is serious. This is the responsibility of the ministers." Liu Qing and Zhang Qing looked at each other, raised their teacups together, nodded in greeting, and drank the tea in one gulp.

Chu Yueyin also followed their example, drank the tea in the cup, picked up the teapot, and poured tea into the three empty teacups.

"This second cup of tea represents my sincerity. To be honest, although I have been in the palace for a short time, I have made many enemies. You have shared hardships with me. I believe in you and hope that you all return to Kunning Gong come to help me. Please!"

Liu Qing raised his glass and said, "Thank you, Empress Empress, for your trust. I should do my best to protect the safety of Empress Empress."

On that day, if Chu Yueyin hadn't stepped forward resolutely and voluntarily left with Li Suifeng, Liu Qing's life might have been lost.Liu Qing was touched that a master could do this for the subordinates. He couldn't say high-sounding words, but he would always remember them in his heart.

Zhang Qing also said: "That's right, no matter whether my subordinates return to Kunning Palace or not, from now on, the Empress Empress will have orders, just order her."

"Thank you!" Chu Yueyin nodded, picked up the teapot casually, and poured a third cup of tea, "This third cup of tea represents Ben Gong's entrustment. If Ben Gong is gone one day, I can't protect this girl Yinqiao, please You help me send her back to the Chu Mansion. Please!"

Before Liu Qing and Zhang Qing could respond, Yinqiao had already exclaimed: "Miss, you will be fine. Yinqiao will always be by your side. Even if Miss doesn't want Yinqiao, Yinqiao will always be by your side side."

Chu Yueyin smiled and looked at Yinqiao, "Silly girl, I just said if. Besides, there is always a banquet in the world. Sooner or later, you will meet the person you like, get married and have children. At that time, you The focus of your life is your husband and children, how could you stay by Bengong's side all the time."

Yin Qiao pouted, "Miss will live to be a hundred years old, and the servants will not marry, so they will accompany Miss until old age."

"Yinqiao..." Facing Yinqiao's stubbornness, Chu Yueyin was momentarily speechless.

At this time, Beiming Yu, who had been standing by the side without making a sound, said, "Miss, don't worry, even if the two of them can't protect Yinqiao, there is still me. If there is a day, I will take Yinqiao away The imperial palace, as for whether she will return to the Chu Manor or go to my place, it is up to her to choose."

With Beiming Yu's promise, Chu Yueyin felt relieved.She has made too many enemies in this harem, no matter how she leaves, Yin Qiao cannot be left in the palace, otherwise Yin Qiao will definitely become the target of those concubines to vent their anger.Therefore, she had to plan for Yinqiao in advance.

Hearing this, Liu Qing looked at Beiming Yu carefully, and thought in her heart: This court lady is very unfamiliar, she is wearing a pink palace dress, which shows that her grade is not high, but her words are resounding.He was sure he hadn't seen her in Kunning Palace before.

Seeing Liu Qing sizing her up, Beiming Yu stepped forward and smiled, and said, "Commander Liu, Xi Yan was originally a servant girl of the Chu Mansion, Miss Meng never gave up and brought her into the palace, and it has been less than a month since then. In the future, Commander Liu will be invited." Take care."

It turned out that her name was Xiyan, and like Yinqiao, she came from the Chu Mansion in the East City, and was the queen's confidant.The sound of her walking is very soft, she should be a Lianjiazi, and she has a lot of skills, otherwise the Empress would not rush her into the palace after being raided.

At that moment, Liu Qing's doubts disappeared, she cupped her fists and said, "Miss Xiyan, you are too polite."
