The Queen's Beggar's Wife

Chapter 36 Meeting the Empress Dowager

On the chariot, Chu Yueyin stared blankly at the hand that Yu Wenhua held just now, feeling a little helpless.Although his hand was big and warm, the person who held her hand and grew old with her should be someone else.

"You have to get used to my touch." Yu Wenhua saw her thoughts and said slowly.

"The concubine knows. The concubine will try her best to cooperate with the emperor's plan," Chu Yueyin said sullenly, "but please don't go too far, the emperor."

Go too far?Yu Wenhua sneered secretly, if he really wanted her, who would dare to say no?He didn't understand why he felt pity last night and let her go.However, since the agreement has been made, he will not tear up the agreement casually.In the future, if he wants her, he will naturally have a way to make her submit, and offer her body and mind.

After a stick of incense, the chariot stopped in front of the gate of Compassionate Peace Palace.

"Welcome to the emperor and empress!" The mothers and maids of the Compassionate Ning Palace knelt on the ground in front of the palace gate.

Chu Yueyin got off the chariot after Yu Wenhua, raised her head slightly and looked at the magnificent and majestic palace in front of her - Compassionate Palace.

The Compassionate Palace is the palace where the empress dowagers of the Tibetan Yuan Dynasty lived. It is located in the northwest corner of the palace city. great place.However, Yu Wenhua's mother, the current empress dowager, Zhao Muqin, is not yet 50 years old, and lost her husband in middle age, so she had to settle down in the Palace of Compassion and Ning to spend the rest of her life.Because Yu Wenhua has been on the throne for many years and has not established a queen, all matters in the harem are in charge of the queen mother.

"Pingshen!" Yu Wenhua took Chu Yueyin's catkin and walked into the Palace of Compassion and Ning together, bowing to Zhao Muqin who was sitting upright in full dress.

"The emperor's son (the minister's daughter-in-law) pays respects to the queen mother!"

Empress Dowager Zhao stood up from the chair with a smile, and walked over to help the two of them.

"The queen mother is very happy to see the two of you so loving! Come, accompany the mother to the back hall for breakfast!"

Chu Yueyin obediently supported Queen Mother Zhao.The three of them entered the back hall together and sat down at the table, where a hot and delicious breakfast was already set.

Yu Wenhua put a piece of vegetarian dim sum into Queen Mother Zhao's bowl, another piece of meat-filled dim sum into Chu Yueyin's bowl, and finally put the dim sum in her own bowl, and began to eat. .

While eating the dim sum in the bowl, Chu Yueyin looked at Yu Wenhua thoughtfully.Not only today, but also at yesterday's wedding banquet, he naturally served Empress Dowager Zhao and her food first, and then himself.

"Yin'er, why don't you eat it? Is it not to your taste?" Queen Mother Zhao found that Chu Yueyin had stopped her hand unknowingly, so she asked aloud.She looked at Chu Yueyin's expression with secret joy, Yin'er was probably fascinated by Huang'er and was dumbfounded.Does this mean that she will soon have grandchildren?Speaking of which, Yu Wenhua has been on the throne for more than ten years, and has been a concubine for many years, but so far she has not had a man or a woman under her knees, which inevitably makes her feel regretful.

"These snacks are delicious." After a moment's pause, Chu Yueyin couldn't help asking, "Mother likes vegetarian food?"

Empress Dowager Zhao was slightly surprised, and asked, "How does Yin'er know that Empress Dowager likes vegetarian food?"

"The daughter-in-law didn't know at first, she was just guessing, but now the daughter-in-law knows."

"How did Yin'er guess that?" Queen Mother Zhao smiled and encouraged her to continue talking.

"At yesterday's wedding banquet, the emperor gave the empress a piece of vegetarian goose, and today the emperor gave the empress a piece of vegetarian snacks. Therefore, the daughter-in-law thought that the emperor must be very aware of the empress's dietary preferences, so he only put vegetarian food for the empress. .”

"Yin'er is so careful!" Empress Dowager Zhao patted Chu Yueyin's hand lightly, "Since the late emperor passed away, no meat can be eaten by Ai's family."

It turns out that Queen Mother Zhao was not a natural vegetarian, but was affected by the death of the former emperor, which was caused by psychological factors.Not eating meat at all for a long time, no wonder the Empress Dowager Zhao's face was a little pale.Chu Yueyin groaned, not noticing Yu Wenhua's approving gazes at her.

Chu Yueyin asked: "Is the queen mother unable to swallow the meat, or does it not work as long as it smells like meat?"

Yu Wenhua interjected: "I once tried to ask the imperial chef to mix very little meat into flour to make balls, but the queen mother still vomited as soon as she ate it. Is there any way for Yin'er to make the queen mother eat meat again?"

Chu Yueyin frowned, if this was the case, unless the smell of meat was removed and the taste of the meat changed, Empress Dowager Zhao would not be able to eat.

"The concubine can't think of a solution for the time being." Chu Yueyin planned to ask the imperial chef another day.

"Huang'er, Yin'er, it's okay, the queen mother is used to it. With you so caring about the mother, the queen mother is very happy." The queen mother Zhao smiled, and then said to Yu Wenhua, "Huang'er, you have a good vision. The queen mother likes to sing Son, let Yin'er come to the Compassionate Ning Palace to chat with the Empress more often in the future, okay?"

Yu Wenhua said: "The emperor's vision is naturally good. However, Yin'er comes to accompany the mother, who will accompany the emperor? Mother, you have the heart to let the emperor stay alone in the empty room?"

Chu Yueyin was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Yu Wenhua. Seeing him acting like a baby, she thought about it and was relieved.Even if he is an emperor, tired and sleepy, his mother's embrace will always be his haven of rest, and only in front of his mother can he show such an expression unscrupulously.In Zhao Muqin's eyes, he will always be a child who will never grow up.

Sure enough, Empress Dowager Zhao smiled and said, "I'm not at all serious in front of the queen mother, so I'm not afraid that Yin'er will laugh at you? Don't worry, the queen mother will not bully Yin'er. When you go to court, ask Yin'er to come and talk to the queen mother." , you are going down, come here and let the queen mother see you, and take Yin'er back by the way."

"Alright. However, the queen mother has to promise the emperor not to bully Yin'er."

"Is the queen mother like this? The queen mother likes Yin'er, why would she bully her? It's because the emperor is reluctant to leave Yin'er for half a step." Queen Mother Zhao joked.

"The queen mother is really right, the emperor can't wait to tie Yin'er by his side all the time." Yu Wenhua turned her head to look at Chu Yueyin, her face was gentle, and her eyes were so affectionate that water could be wrung out.

Chu Yueyin felt cold in her heart, but she could only cooperate with Yu Wenhua, smiled at him, and then lowered her head shyly.Damn Yu Wenhua!He obviously doesn't like it, but he has to pretend to be affectionate.It's a good thing that I don't like him, otherwise, if he looks at him like this, I'm afraid I'll sink into his pretended tenderness and be unable to extricate myself.

The breakfast ended easily amidst the chatter and laughter of the three of them.

After breakfast, the three of them were sipping tea in the back hall when a female official in pink came over and saluted: "The emperor, the empress dowager, the empress dowager, the concubine Shu, the concubine Li and all the ladies have arrived. Wait in the front hall."
