The Queen's Beggar's Wife

In the chrysanthemum orchard, red, white, and yellow chrysanthemums are enchanting and beautiful, and they are patchwork. Some bloom generously on the branches, some crawl low-key in the low places, and some poke their heads quietly from behind the green leaves... ...The autumn sun shone on the petals of the chrysanthemums, as if they were covered with a layer of golden gauze.

"These chrysanthemums are so beautiful!" Chu Yueyin smiled and turned to look at Huangfuyan.

"It's really beautiful!" Huangfuyan also smiled, his slightly raised lips were like a crescent moon.Flower beauties are even more beautiful, isn't the most beautiful Xieyu flower in the chrysanthemum garden right in front of his eyes?

He smiled softly, as if with a hook.Chu Yueyin looked at it, and there was a bang in her head, she couldn't think anymore, and her cheeks became hot, and a faint shy blush appeared.He is also beautiful!She had never seen a man like him, so beautiful that he couldn't find any flaws, so beautiful that her heart skipped a beat.

"My lord, here's the teacup." Sun Jun, who was hurrying back, placed the teacup heavily on the stone table, making a crisp knocking sound.

Chu Yueyin was startled, blushed and withdrew her bewildered gaze.Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of a vicious, warning gaze.She looked up at Sun Jun in confusion, when did she offend him, why did he seem to have deep hostility towards her?

Huangfuyan spilled the cold tea in front of him, picked up the teapot and poured hot tea into the two cups, then slowly put down the teapot.

"Empress, please!"

Chu Yueyin picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, then opened her eyes wide, looking at Huangfuyan in disbelief.

"This tea..."

"Is there any question?" Huangfuyan gracefully picked up the teacup to his lips, and drank the tea naturally.

"It's nothing." Chu Yueyin turned his eyes from the empty teacup to the hand holding the teacup. It was white and slender with distinct bones, revealing that its owner was pampered.She didn't say what she wanted to say in the end.

Chu Yueyin didn't think the tea was so bad, but it was strange that everything in the palace, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, came from the people, and there was a special person responsible for the purchase or the local officials selected the best tribute.But why did the jasmine tea that Huangfuyan drank turned out to be inferior ordinary tea?Although he is a proton, he is still the noble second prince of Ning Xi Kingdom after all.Was it Yu Wenhua's instruction, or was someone enriching himself with inferior tea to bully him?

"Has the empress stopped drinking it? Is it bad for this tea?" Huangfuyan looked at her thoughtfully, and poured some more tea into his teacup.

It seems that I am worrying too much.How could he be an imposing prince who couldn't drink the good or bad of the tea.He doesn't show off, doesn't care about it, he must have his own considerations.

Thinking of this, Chu Yueyin felt relieved, smiled, picked up the teacup and drank all the tea.She put down the teacup and reached for the teapot, but Huangfuyan also reached out, and their hands accidentally touched each other.Between the lightning and the flint, a tingling feeling was transmitted from the place where the skin touched.

Time seemed to stand still.Chu Yueyin let his hand cover hers in a daze.

"Cough, cough, cough..." A cough came from the side, and Sun Jun looked at the ambiguous scene with a dark face.

Chu Yueyin woke up with a start, pulled her hand back in a panic, turned her head and pretended to look at the chrysanthemum.The red cloud flew up to her cheeks, and spread to the back of the ears and down the neck uncontrollably... There seemed to be a deer jumping around in her heart.

"Empress, Empress..." Zixia's anxious voice came from not far away, breaking the embarrassing situation instantly.

Chu Yue stood up briskly, and hurriedly said: "Young Master Huangfu, Zixia is here, and I'm leaving." Without waiting for his response, she turned and left.

"Empress Empress..." Huangfuyan stood up, as if about to say something, seeing her leaving in a hurry, he smiled wryly at her back helplessly.

"My servant is late, please forgive me, empress!" Seeing Chu Yueyin, Zixia happily bowed and gave a blessing, "The servant took the umbrella and searched for Kunning Palace all the time but didn't see you, so I went with Kunning Palace Several older sisters are looking for it separately in the imperial garden."

"I'm not familiar with the roads in the imperial garden, and I got lost while walking. I happened to arrive at the chrysanthemum garden, so I just admired the chrysanthemums for a while." Chu Yue groaned.The little girl couldn't find herself, and she was probably frightened.

"Queen empress, hurry back to the palace. The emperor is waiting in Kunning Palace. He wants to share lunch with empress." Zixia was about to open the paper umbrella in his hand when he suddenly saw Huangfuyan who was looking at him, and hurriedly respected him. He saluted him respectfully.

"Young Master Huangfu is here too." Zixia opened a paper umbrella to cover Chu Yueyin's head, and said, after speaking, he realized something was wrong, and carefully looked at Chu Yueyin's face.

"Go. Don't keep the emperor waiting." Chu Yueyin pretended not to notice Zi Xia's look.This little girl doesn't have the worldly sophistication that people in the palace are used to, she is a bit straightforward and a bit cute.However, in the palace, people's words are formidable, so it's better to be cautious.

"Empress, be careful of stones."

"Empress, there is a pit here."

"Empress, look at that little tree over there. It's curved and very cute. It's very similar to the one in front of my house."

"Homesick?" Chu Yueyin asked softly.

"Yeah, I'm homesick, I miss my father, I miss my mother, I miss my eldest brother!" Zixia sniffed, and said embarrassedly, "Empress, Zixia shouldn't say such things. Please forgive Zixia, Empress."

"It's okay. Ben Gong is also homesick."

Chu Yueyin looked at Zixia with a smile.A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, not tall, thin, and her body has not yet grown.As for appearance, he can be regarded as handsome, and he will be a lovely person in the future.

Chu Yueyin suddenly became curious and asked, "Zi Xia, how old are you? When did you enter the palace?"

Zixia stopped, turned around, and replied respectfully: "This servant just turned 14 years old and entered the palace this summer. She was originally in charge of cleaning the courtyard on the west side. Ten days ago, she was transferred to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. Study with Aunt Xinyu."

It turned out that she was a young maid who entered the palace not long ago, and she had never been with the concubines in the palace before, no wonder she still retained her frank nature.

"Zi Xia, if I want you from the Queen Mother, would you like to come to Kunning Palace?"

"Does the empress really want Zixia?" Zixia looked at Chu Yueyin in disbelief, saw her nodding with a smile, and said repeatedly, "Yes, Zixia is willing."

The queen mother misses the past, and the female officials, nuns and maids who serve her are all "old people" who have been in the palace for more than ten years.Occasionally, a few new palace maids are selected to study with the girls around her, and after they are finished, they are all sent to the palace ladies to serve them.

For palace ladies without rank, whether they can meet a good master depends on their luck, and whether they live well in the palace in the future is also closely related to whether the following master is favored or not.I found the queen empress so late, but the empress didn't mean to blame her at all, which shows that the empress has an excellent temperament.
