The Queen's Beggar's Wife

The purpose of Yu Wenhua's overnight visit to Kunning Palace was to bet with her on whether Huang Fuyan's feelings were true or false.Chu Yueyin smelled a conspiracy from it, and shook her head lightly, "The daughter of the people doesn't want to make this bet with the emperor."

Yu Wenhua was suddenly delighted, thinking that Huangfuyan's position in Chu Yueyin's heart was not indestructible.He tentatively asked: "You don't trust Huangfuyan, you are not sure about him, so you don't dare?"

Chu Yueyin shook her head lightly, "Minnv is very clear about Huangfuyan's affection for Minnv. Minnv refused to bet because she thought the bet was too boring, and there was no need for Lang to waste time proving a clear fact."

Yu Wenhua's heart shivered, "Since you are so sure, you are naturally not afraid of making this bet. You bet with me, you can win you the status of a princess, and it will be of great help to you to become the crown princess of Ningxi Kingdom."

The conditions Yu Wenhua offered were very attractive. Chu Yueyin was not stupid, so she naturally understood that the status of a princess could remove many obstacles for her and Huangfuyan's future. However, she would never believe that Yu Wenhua had no conspiracy at all.She can't put Huangfuyan in danger for her own selfishness.

Chu Yueyin bit her lips lightly, but still shook her head and said, "Ministers don't want to make this bet."

Yu Wenhua's eyes froze, and she said forcefully: "It's up to you. Although I abolished your position and demoted you to a commoner, I can still keep you in the palace. Someone will dare to talk. Unless you make this bet with me, you don't even think about leaving the palace."

Knowing that Yu Wenhua could really do it, Chu Yueyin lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "Since the emperor insists on this, then the daughters of the people have no choice but to fight. But the daughters of the people have a few conditions: the first condition is that Xiulou chooses a son-in-law." The matter must be told to the world.”

"I agree." Hearing that Chu Yueyin agreed to the bet, Yu Wenhua readily agreed to her request.

"The second condition is that the men who participate in the selection of husbands in Xiulou only need to be under 30 years old, in good health, and have not married wives or concubines. Others are ignored."

"Yes."

"Third, if Huang Fuyan does not show up, the women of the people can choose one of the men to be the husband."

Yu Wenhua refused straight away, "No way. If Huang Fuyan doesn't show up, you will follow me back to the palace and become my queen."

Chu Yueyin's eyes flickered, thinking about it.She smiled lightly and said: "If the emperor doesn't mind, civilian girls can make an exception and let the emperor run for election, unless the emperor has no confidence that he can win against other men."

Yu Wenhua said: "You think that if you use the aggressive method, I will be fooled."

Chu Yueyin shook her head disapprovingly, and said, "If the emperor insists on saying that it is a method of aggressive generals, the daughters of the people have nothing to say. The daughters of the people think that since it is a public recruitment, it cannot be canceled just because it is called off. Find a suitable reason to silence everyone, otherwise everyone in the world will say that the emperor has turned his back on what he said. Since the emperor is not willing to run for the election, then the women are not reluctant."

Yu Wenhua stared at the stubborn woman in front of her, feeling an inexplicable sense of powerlessness in her heart, "Yin'er, do you have to be right with me?"

Chu Yueyin said resolutely: "Ministers don't dare. But if the emperor refuses, the daughters will not make this bet. If the emperor insists on keeping the daughters in the palace anonymously, the daughters would rather die than surrender."

Yu Wenhua looked deeply at Chu Yueyin, was silent for a moment and finally compromised, "I agree with the last one."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chu Yueyin knelt down on the ground, smiling.

Yu Wenhua bent down to help Chu Yueyin up, but her hands stopped in mid-air, but she still retracted them sullenly.He straightened up and said, "Stay flat. Xiulou's selection of a son-in-law will be scheduled in half a month. In this half month, you should take care of yourself first."

Chu Yueyin knelt still, and said: "The daughter of the people has one more request, please allow the emperor."

Yu Wenhua frowned, very displeased, "I have agreed to all three of your conditions, what else do you want?"

Chu Yueyin raised her head slightly, "Nowadays, Minnv is just a commoner, and living in Kunning Palace is not a good name, nor is it in line with etiquette. Please allow the Minv to return to the Chu Mansion to recuperate."

Yu Wenhua murmured with her hands behind her back, and slowly paced in front of Chu Yueyin. After walking back and forth a few times, she made a decision, "It is impossible to leave the palace, but I can let you move out of the Kunning Palace. , I will temporarily live in the Xianfu Palace where Shaner used to live. You can choose some guards and maids to follow and serve."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yu Wenhua raised her arm and signaled Chu Yueyin to flatten her body, "It's late at night, you can move in tomorrow. You should rest early, I... I'm leaving."

Chu Yueyin saluted again, "Send off the emperor." After watching Yu Wenhua leave, she got up and walked to the side of the bed to sit down, only to realize that the clothes on her back were already wet with sweat.She secretly rejoiced that she won the greatest possible rights and interests for herself without angering Yu Wenhua.

Chu Yueyin lay in the bedroom of Kunning Palace, without sleep all night.However, she is not the only one who can't sleep in this deep palace.

It was not until the sky in the east began to turn white that Chu Yueyin fell asleep in a daze, and it was almost noon when he woke up.Chu Yueyin ordered Yinqiao to tidy up briefly, and only took the clothes and jewelry that she brought from the Chu Mansion back then.While Yinqiao was tidying up, she put on a moon-white dress embroidered with small orchids, sat in front of the vanity mirror and tied a simple bun for herself, and inserted a white orchid hairpin diagonally.

After dressing up properly, Yinqiao also tidied up.While Chu Yueyin was having lunch, Liu Qing, Zhang Qing and Zixia were called over.The three of them bowed and saluted, their usual address stuck in their throats, they didn't know what to do for a while, so they stood there awkwardly.

Chu Yueyin didn't mind either, and said with a faint smile, "Now that Yueyin is no longer the queen, you don't need to salute me anymore. Speaking of which, Liu Qing and Zhang Qing are both imperial guard commanders. Yin bows to you."

Liu Qing and Zhang Qing hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

Chu Yueyin slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and walked in front of the three of them, "In Kunning Palace, even in this palace, you are one of Yueyin's most trusted people. Yueyin will move to Xianfu Palace, the emperor said that I can choose some of the guards and maids of Kunning Palace to go there, although it is only half a month, but I don't want to force you, it is up to you to decide."

Liu Qing and Zhang Qing looked at each other, then cupped their hands and said, "Let's go to Xianfu Palace with Miss Chu."

"Thank you." Chu Yueyin turned her gaze to Zixia. Although she was from the Queen Mother Zhao's side, she was quite honest. "As for Zixia, it doesn't matter if you don't want to."

A few months ago, Zixia was known by Chu Yueyin because he sent some news to Queen Mother Zhao, so Chu Yueyin deliberately alienated him.Now that Chu Yueyin chose her alone among the many maids in the court, she undoubtedly regarded her as one of her own, Zixia was a little moved in her heart.

"Huang...Miss Chu, Zixia is willing." Zixia almost called Chu Yueyin the Empress Empress again, and she was still not used to the change of Chu Yueyin's identity.

"Okay. From now on, Yueyin will depend on everyone in the palace." Chu Yueyin smiled, "Go and clean up, and leave in half an hour."

Half an hour later, Chu Yueyin took Yinqiao, Zixia, Liu Qing and Zhang Qing to Xianfu Palace.As soon as he entered the gate of Xianfu Palace, a woman in a lake-blue palace dress flew towards Chu Yueyin.Liu Qing and Zhang Qing were about to stop them, but when they realized something was wrong, they withdrew their hands in time and stepped aside.

Before Chu Yueyin saw the person coming, she was hugged tightly by that person.

"Sister-in-law, why did Brother Huang want to depose you? Brother Huang bullied you, and Shan'er will help you get justice. Let's go, let's go to Brother Huang now!" Yu Wenshan let go of Chu Yueyin and held her soft Catkin went outside the palace.

Chu Yueyin was led by Yu Wenshan for a few steps, trying to break free from her hand, but she couldn't, so she shouted anxiously: "Princess, please quickly let go of the girl's hand."

Yu Wenshan was startled, stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at Chu Yueyin, "What did you call me? Princess?"

"Yueyin is just a commoner, so naturally I want to call you a princess." Chu Yueyin pulled out her plain hand, took a step back, and bowed to Yu Wenshan, "Minister see princess."

"Emperor's Wife." Yu Wenshan stood there in disbelief, neither helped Chu Yueyin nor asked her to get up, Chu Yueyin kept maintaining the posture of saluting.

"Shan'er, hurry up and get Huang...Miss Chu up." Leng Feng just walked in from outside the Xianfu Palace, saw Chu Yueyin's embarrassment, frowned slightly, and said to Yu Wenshan.

Yu Wenshan came back to her senses, and quickly reached out to support Chu Yueyin, "Sister-in-law...Miss Chu is free! Shan'er didn't mean to embarrass you, it was... Shan'er couldn't accept you all of a sudden, from Shan'er's sister-in-law became an outsider."

"The princess doesn't need to explain, Yueyin understands." Chu Yueyin said with a light smile, while speaking, she shifted her gaze to the approaching Leng Feng.

"The daughter of the people sees the son-in-law!" Chu Yueyin said and was about to salute, but Leng Feng held his arm and used his internal force to prevent her from kneeling, and took her body up.

Yu Wenshan came over and took Chu Yueyin's arm, and said: "Miss Chu, you can stay in Xianfu Palace with peace of mind. Shan'er has already explained to the guards and maids here that they dare not neglect you. If you have anything to do, just order They. Shan'er remembers that you have never been to Xianfu Palace, Shan'er will accompany you to look around and familiarize yourself with the environment."

Chu Yue groaned: "Thank you, Princess, and thank you, Princess."

Leng Feng said: "Shan'er, the emperor summoned me to have an audience, so I will not accompany you. I will come to pick you up in the evening."

Yu Wenshan smiled and waved her hands, "Go, don't keep Brother Huang waiting, or he will scold you. I'll wait for you to leave the palace together." After speaking, she walked towards the gate of the front hall holding Chu Yueyin's arm.

Leng Feng looked at the backs of the two, and a trace of inexplicable emotion suddenly appeared in his heart.Leng Feng stopped Liu Qing and Zhang Qing and told them to go to the emperor together.The three of them left Xianfu Palace and headed towards the Imperial Study Room.

Yinqiao and Zixia greeted the aunt in charge of the Xianfu Palace, and moved in the clothes they had brought.Chu Yueyin lived in the side hall of Xianfu Palace, Yinqiao and Zixia set up two soft couches in the side hall according to Chu Yueyin's instructions, and slept with Chu Yueyin in the side hall at night.Although Liu Qing and Zhang Qing had residences in Qingyuan, in order to protect Chu Yueyin nearby, they also found two wing rooms specially arranged for night watch guards in Xianfu Palace.

After all the arrangements were made, Chu Yueyin recuperated in Xianfu Palace and patiently waited half a month later for Xiulou to choose her son-in-law.

And in the imperial city of Ningxi Kingdom, thousands of miles away, Huang Fuyan received a secret letter from a secret agent lurking in Tibet Yuan Kingdom.After reading the letter, he looked serious and pondered for a long time, and ordered the attendants to invite Sun Jun quickly, and the two discussed it in the closed room for most of the day.
