The Queen's Beggar's Wife

After returning from the three dynasties, Yu Wenhua resumed her normal morning routine, getting up before dawn every day, leaving Kunning Palace after washing, and going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to deal with state affairs.

Whenever Yu Wenhua sat up from the bed, Chu Yueyin would open her sleepy eyes, put on her coat, quickly pack the bedding, and put it back in the closet.After doing all this quietly, she will serve Yu Wenhua who got off the bed to put on the dragon robe, and then call in the nuns and maids who are waiting outside the house to clean Yu Wenhua's face.

Then, under the envious gazes of the court ladies, the "deeply affectionate" emperor and empress would walk hand in hand to the gate of Kunning Palace.Before Yu Wenhua leaves, she will "routinely" press an "affectionate" kiss on her delicate and charming cherry lips.Chu Yueyin shyly accepted the kiss, and then watched Yu Wenhua leave with a charming sentence "The concubine sends the emperor respectfully", and turned back until the chariot was no longer visible.

After returning to the inner hall, Chu Yueyin would lie on the bed, wrapped in the remaining warmth left by Yu Wenhua to make up for sleep, until Yu Wenhua came back to have breakfast together.After breakfast, the emperor and empress would join hands and get on the chariot together, heading for the Palace of Compassion and Ning.After meeting the Empress Dowager Zhao, Yu Wenhua went to the imperial study to review the memorials and discuss state affairs with the ministers.Chu Yueyin stayed in the Compassionate Ning Palace, and after all the concubines finished paying their respects, she went to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Compassionate Ning Palace to learn from her aunt in charge, Xin Yi, how to handle the affairs of the harem.

Around noon, Chu Yueyin would take Yinqiao and Zixia through the imperial garden, and return to Kunning Palace to have lunch with Yu Wenhua.If Yu Wenhua was too busy to go back to Kunning Palace to eat, she would take the food box to the Imperial Study Room to deliver the food, and then leave after he had finished it.

There was a short nap in the afternoon, after which Chu Yueyin could freely control the time before dusk.She likes to go to the imperial garden, bring history books, make a pot of tea, and spend the whole afternoon.

All this gradually became a habit.

In the first few days, Chu Yueyin had to go to the chrysanthemum garden every day, but she soon discovered that due to the blooming of chrysanthemums, the chrysanthemum garden was the most popular place in the imperial garden, especially in the afternoon.

Every day in the afternoon, the concubines and wives of the various palaces either alone or together enjoyed the chrysanthemums in the chrysanthemum orchard. When they saw Chu Yueyin, they naturally saluted respectfully and chatted with each other.One day, Chu Yueyin even met the Empress Dowager Zhao, and had to accompany her around the chrysanthemum orchard twice, eating some snacks, until Yu Wenhua sent someone to find a way to escape.

In this way, how could Chu Yueyin read a book and think quietly?So she carefully studied the map of the Imperial Garden, and found that besides the pavilions and pavilions in the middle, the rockery and the river, there are four famous gardens on the four sides of the Imperial Garden. In addition to the Chrysanthemum Garden, there are Orchid Garden, Plum Garden and Bamboo Garden It coincides with the reputation of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum as the four gentlemen who are pure and proud.

The Imperial Garden has four gates from east to west, north to south, and the plum garden, orchid garden and chrysanthemum garden are all close to one of the gates.However, the bamboo courtyard is located in an extremely remote place. You have to climb up an artificially piled hill, and then walk along the cobbled path to the foot of the other side of the mountain. Only then can you see a large bamboo forest that is lush and evergreen all year round. .

There are no artificial buildings in the bamboo forest, and it is the only pure natural scenery in the imperial garden. Due to its remote location, there are few people on weekdays and it is very quiet.

When Chu Yueyin first came to the Bamboo Courtyard, she found a shallow clear pond there, the water was less than one foot deep and extremely clear.There is a spring in the pool, from which the pool water gurgles, and then flows out of the bamboo courtyard along a narrow channel, into the Jinshui River, and finally into the Biyuan Pool.

Because of this clear pond, Chu Yueyin fell in love with the bamboo courtyard.Since Yinqiao had to go to the court workshop every afternoon to learn etiquette with the new maids, she took Zixia to the bamboo courtyard.

After Sanchao returned home, Chu Yueyin asked the Queen Mother Zhao for Zixia, and the Queen Mother Zhao agreed, and gave Zixia and an aunt named Jianing, a second-class female official, to Chu Yueyin.Because Zixia lacks experience, she still goes to the Compassion Ning Palace to learn from Aunt Xinyu from time to time.

On this day, Zixia went to the Compassionate Ning Palace in the afternoon and did not return until after dusk.After thinking about it, Chu Yueyin decided to go to the Bamboo Courtyard to read by herself.Before leaving the house, the Royal Workshop delivered a small exquisite red sandalwood box, which was said to be jewelry custom-made by the empress.Chu Yueyin opened it, looked at it casually, gave the reward, and then took the bamboo basket containing the teapot, tea cups and snacks, and went to the bamboo courtyard with the wooden box.

Chu Yueyin carried the bamboo basket and walked up the winding path up the hill.The bamboo basket was a bit heavy, and she began to feel a little strenuous as soon as she walked halfway, and she finally insisted on walking to the top of the mountain, and her forehead and temples were already slightly sweating.

Chu Yueyin found a big rock to sit down to rest, reached into her clothes to get the brocade handkerchief, and suddenly touched something hard, and remembered that it was the wooden box sent by the Royal Workshop just now.She took out the wooden box and opened it, and took out a necklace made of gold from it. On the necklace was a hollow gold-encrusted pearl pendant slightly larger than a pigeon's egg.

Chu Yueyin took out the pebbles and pearl earrings from the kit bag she kept close to her, and pressed the hidden button on the pendant, put the pebbles and pearl earrings into the pendant, put them on her neck, and hid them in her underwear.The pendant was pressed against the skin below the collarbone, and she felt a cold touch, which made her shiver, but was soon warmed by the temperature of her body.

A gust of autumn wind blows, and a piece of silk handkerchief floats out from the open kit bag, and it floats down the mountain with the wind.Chu Yueyin looked at the silk handkerchief that was floating farther and farther away, and suddenly remembered that it was the silk handkerchief that Leng Feng gave her.No, it was Yu Wenshan's silk handkerchief given to Leng Feng.If she lost this silk handkerchief, what would she give back to Leng Feng?

Chu Yueyin hurriedly stood up, ignoring the bamboo basket, and hurriedly chased Si Pa along the original road.Near the foot of the hill, the wind died down, and the spar fell on a low shrub.She hurried forward to pick up the silk handkerchief and checked it carefully. Fortunately, it was not damaged. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and go up the mountain when she suddenly heard a delicate voice.

"Why is this Sipa here?"

Chu Yueyin was startled, and as soon as she turned her head, someone snatched the silk handkerchief from her hand.

"Give it back to me!" Chu Yueyin subconsciously said, wanting to get Sipa back.When she fixed her eyes on the person in front of her, she couldn't help screaming inwardly.The person who came was the person she was least willing to see right now---Princess Longhu Yuwenshan.

"Sister-in-law, where did this silk handkerchief come from?" Yu Wenshan tightly squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand, obviously she had recognized this bisque silk handkerchief with a faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which was exactly what she had given to Leng Feng before. that piece.

"Imperial sister, it's you, you rushed over suddenly, and you startled the imperial wife." Chu Yueyin swallowed silently, found something to say, and kept thinking about what reason to explain in her mind. Origin of Spa.

Yu Wenshan stared straight at Chu Yueyin's somewhat pale face, and asked: "This is the silk handkerchief I gave to Leng Feng, why is it in the hands of the emperor's wife?"
