The Queen's Beggar's Wife

Chapter 178 The Princess Invites

When he woke up the next day, Chu Yueyin was the only one in the room. Huangfuyan had already got up early in the morning to discuss matters with his warriors, and went out after the discussion.He specifically ordered the warriors staying behind to protect Chu Yueyin and not let her go out.

Chu Yueyin didn't know about this.From the moment she opened her eyes, she felt that she had shed all the tears overnight.Chu Yueyin understands Huangfuyan's helplessness, but she cannot accept sharing her lover with other women.

So, she said to herself: "Chu Yueyin, you have to be strong, you can no longer rely on others, and you have to learn to face all unsatisfactory things alone. Although it is not possible to forget the person you love so much overnight, but she believes that time will eventually make you feel better." It will dilute everything, and she will try her best to live a good life in the future and not let him worry about it.

Chu Yueyin made up her mind, got up and changed into clean clothes, and called Yinqiao to bring her face wash.After washing her face, she was sitting in front of the vanity mirror and was about to give Yin Qiao a simple bun, when she was startled by the haggard self reflected in the mirror.Originally watery eyes were red and swollen like walnuts.After applying cold water for a long time, my eyes finally became less red.

Seeing Chu Yueyin's haggard face, Yinqiao felt a little sad, took gouache to cover up the marks, and used rouge, eyebrow ink and lip balm to help her make up lightly, and offered to propose: "Yinqiao goes out with Miss to relax."

Chu Yueyin thought for a while, then said: "No, Bai Li won't agree, I'm afraid we will be stopped by his subordinates before we go out the gate."

Yinqiao said: "If my uncle hadn't left the house early in the morning, otherwise Yinqiao would have asked my uncle to accompany Miss to go out for a stroll. My uncle loves Miss so much, I will definitely agree."

Chu Yueyin frowned slightly, and asked inexplicably: "Why do you say that? Why does he love me?"

Yinqiao thought that Chu Yueyin was embarrassed, so she replied firmly: "Of course my uncle loves Miss. Yinqiao saw it with her own eyes, so she can still lie. When my uncle heard that Miss didn't eat dinner last night, I immediately asked my servant to get it." When the hot food came, I personally picked it up and delivered it to the room, otherwise the young lady would be hungry."

Chu Yueyin didn't believe it, "Yinqiao, don't lie, I slept in the room all night, and neither saw Bai Li nor the food you mentioned."

Yinqiao's eyes widened, she couldn't believe her ears.She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "Impossible, the slave girl obviously watched my uncle enter the room."

Chu Yueyin shook her head, and said affirmatively: "I bolted the door last night, and he couldn't come in at all, and when I woke up this morning, the door was still bolted. Besides, I haven't had dinner, and the table There is no food either."

Yinqiao was puzzled, her big eyes fluttered, and she murmured: "But, uncle didn't enter through the door. He pried open the window and jumped into the room. And he obviously picked up the food I sent from inside. Unless... I know, it must be that my uncle saw that the lady was sleeping soundly, and couldn't bear to disturb her slumber, so he didn't wake her up to eat. My uncle must have come out the same way this morning, and brought out the food."

Chu Yueyin was startled, if what Yinqiao said was true, then he must have slept in the same bed with her all night last night.A man and a widow live together in the same room, and they are a legitimate couple. If he did something, there is nothing wrong with it, but he didn't do it. What... does it mean?Pity or love?

Chu Yueyin would rather "Bai Li" be indifferent to her, ignore her, or even hate her, so that when she leaves in the future, she won't feel guilty, apologetic and unbearable.

Chu Yueyin was still thinking, when suddenly there was a very regular and polite knock on the door, "Is Miss Yinqiao there? Someone is looking for you outside the door."

Yinqiao went out to see that it was a Ningxi warrior dressed as a beggar who spread the word, so she followed the warrior to the gate.After a while, Yinqiao brought back a letter, handed it to Chu Yueyin, and said, "Miss, the sender is still waiting outside the door for a reply."

Chu Yueyin looked at the cover of the letter, and there were six words "Princess Yuehua's personal letter" written on it. The handwriting was beautiful, obviously it was written by a woman.She took out the letter suspiciously, opened it, and it turned out that it was Princess Longhu Yu Wenshan's birthday, and she was invited to attend the family banquet held in the princess mansion three days later.

Chu Yueyin walked around the room a few times, hesitating.Yu Wenshan is kind-hearted and a straightforward woman, a person worthy of friendship.But Yu Wenshan is Yu Wenhua's direct younger sister, she is hosting a family banquet in the princess mansion, and Yu Wenhua is very likely to attend.But at this moment, the last person Chu Yueyin wanted to see was Yu Wenhua.

Shan'er specially sent letters here, maybe because she wanted to be a lobbyist for Yu Wenhua, or to create opportunities for Yu Wenhua to win back her heart; or maybe it was just because she regarded her as a friend and wanted her to attend the banquet; the biggest It might be a little bit of both.

"Miss, the sender is waiting for a reply." Seeing Chu Yueyin pondering for a long time, Yinqiao couldn't help reminding her.

Chu Yueyin came back to her senses, and asked Yinqiao to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Before picking up the pen, she hesitated, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.Seeing a drop of black ink falling from the tip of the pen onto the snow-white letter paper, Chu Yueyin couldn't help but feel moved, and resolutely wrote a short reply letter.When the ink on the paper was dry, Chu Yueyin folded the letter paper, put it in an envelope and sealed it, and wrote "From Princess Longhu" on the envelope.Then he ordered Yinqiao to hand over the letter to the sender himself.

However, Yu Wenshan said that this reply letter was delivered to Yu Wenshan through the messenger of the princess mansion. She opened it and looked at it, and she couldn't help showing a happy smile, and all the worries in her heart were swept away.It's great that Chu Yueyin is willing to come to the banquet!

Yu Wenshan quickly summoned a personal maid, and told her to have a chariot prepared, and immediately entered the palace to face the saint.In less than half an hour, Yu Wenshan, dressed in gorgeous palace attire, came to the imperial study.She knew that after Yu Wenhua came to court, he would first go to the imperial study to deal with political affairs, so she came here directly.Unexpectedly, Zhang Xin said that the emperor has not yet come to court, so please wait for Princess Longhu.

Since the Imperial Study Room is an important place in the palace, no one is allowed to enter without Yu Wenhua's permission, so Yu Wenshan went to Kunning Palace, but unexpectedly met the noble concubine Xia Lianxue.

Although she knows that Xia Lianxue is a concubine that the emperor has always loved very much, although Yu Wenshan is not alienated from Xia Lianxue, she just can't get close, as if there is always an inexplicable gap between the two .Seeing Xia Lianxue appearing in the Kunning Palace at this moment, Yu Wenshan suddenly felt that Xia Lianxue wanted to replace Chu Yueyin as the master of the harem.

"This is the Kunning Palace where the Empress lives. Why is the Concubine Guishu here?" Yuwen couldn't help asking.She just wanted to remind Xia Lianxue not to have delusions.

Xia Lianxue's eyes flickered, and she said slowly: "Since the empress was deposed, the emperor has handed over the affairs of the palace to the management of the palace, and the palace is here today to see if those servants are not affected by Kunning Palace temporarily If you don't have a master, you'll be lazy and play tricks."

A trace of sarcasm floated in Yu Wenshan's heart, and she chuckled, "Thanks for your hard work, Concubine Guishu. According to my princess, this Kunning Palace will soon have a master."

Xia Lianxue's eyes lit up, and she thought: Yu Wenshan is the Emperor's biological sister, could it be that she heard some news from the Emperor.Xia Lianxue wanted to know but couldn't ask clearly, so she talked about him from left to right, and asked Yu Wenshan if she wanted to readjust the decoration of the Kunning Palace, and if she wanted to change the flowers and plants, and finally she sighed softly He said: "If you know what kind of preferences the future master of Kunning Palace has, I might as well make some preparations in advance, so that the old face of this palace will be changed to a new one to welcome the new master."

Yu Wenshan stared at Xia Lianxue, and the ridicule in her heart grew stronger.Want to be queen?Don't even look at whether you are qualified!

"What Concubine Guishu said, according to the princess' opinion," Yu Wenshan walked to an antique vase, pretended to look at it for a moment, and smiled after seeing Xia Lianxue's nervous expression: "Actually, there is no need to change it." , because the queen's wife won't mind."

"Isn't it too early for the princess to be called "Sister-in-law Huang"?" Xia Lianxue thought that the "sister-in-law" in Yu Wenshan's mouth was referring to herself, and she was overjoyed, thinking that everyone said Princess Longhu was pretty and domineering, Once married, they become reasonable.

Yu Wenshan intentionally showed a strange and puzzled expression, thought for a while, and suddenly realized: "Concubine Guishu, if you hadn't reminded this princess, I would have been really disrespectful. Then wait for the emperor to make the emperor's wife look good. After being welcomed back to the palace, this princess will call her the emperor's wife again, but it's better to call her 'Miss Chu' now."

Xia Lianxue's complexion changed drastically, "The princess' sister-in-law is...Chu Yueyin?"

"That's right!" Yu Wenshan looked proudly at Xia Lianxue's pale face, "Otherwise, Concubine Guishu thinks who this princess is talking about?"

Xia Lianxue murmured: "The emperor wants to take Chu Yueyin back to the palace?"

Yu Wenshan nodded, "The emperor's brother and the emperor's wife just had some misunderstandings. When the princess arranges for them to meet, sit down and have a good talk, and resolve the misunderstandings, they will naturally be able to reunite and get back together. Concubine Guishu, You, like this princess, hope that they will reconcile, don't you?"

Yu Wenshan thought that as long as Xia Lianxue retreated and stopped coveting the queen's position, she would not tell the emperor about Xia Lianxue's ambitions, and Xia Lianxue could continue to be the emperor's favorite concubine.

It's a pity that Xia Lianxue didn't think so. After planning for so long, she was finally close to the position of empress. How could it be possible for Yu Wenshan to intervene to help Chu Yueyin return to the palace and destroy her plan.

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Xia Lianxue's eyes, "I'm afraid that the princess's painstaking efforts will go to waste. You intend to make the emperor and Mrs. Bai reconcile, but unfortunately the person involved will not appreciate it."

Yu Wenshan raised the corners of her mouth confidently, disapprovingly, "Isn't it that the emperor's wife married a beggar, just reconcile. Even if the beggar refuses to reconcile, as long as the emperor makes an imperial decree and gives the beggar some gold Silver treasures, fertile land and beautiful houses, beauties and beautiful ladies, this princess does not believe that he will pester the emperor's wife."
