The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

"Jinxiu, do you think my nails are too plain?"

Jinxiu was about to put the armor on the Queen's nails. When the Queen said this, she paused and carefully looked at the nail of the Queen's little finger.

The nails are long and tapered, clean and translucent, and very beautiful.

Cui Jinxiu has been with the Queen for more than 20 years and is best at figuring out her master's thoughts. She can hear the Queen's words between the lines.

"Does the empress want to apply kodan?"

The queen was very satisfied with her reaction speed.

"Well, I haven't applied it for a long time. Let's get some."

Aunt Cui put down her armor and turned around to prepare the pill.

But before she could walk out of the bedroom, the Queen Mother's exclamation suddenly came from behind her.

Aunt Cui was startled and immediately turned around and ran to the Queen's side.

I saw the queen holding scissors in her right hand, and the long nail of the little finger of her left hand was actually cut off.

"Empress, you are..."

The queen's face was full of anxiety, with a hint of panic in her anxiety.

"I just wanted to trim my nails a little bit. I didn't want to accidentally cut them off. Come on, look for your nails."

When Grandma Cui heard this, her expression changed.

The body, hair and skin are influenced by our parents. The ancients attached great importance to the body. This is not limited to hair and beard, but also nails.

Not cutting your nails would affect your daily life, so they must be cut.

But the cut nails will not be thrown away casually, but will be kept carefully. They believe that it is very unlucky to lose the cut nails.

Especially people with high status like the Queen Empress pay more attention to the care and preservation of their nails than ordinary people.

Now a section of the nail was broken, and the broken part was missing. No wonder the Queen was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"My Lady, don't panic, let me help you look for it first."

Aunt Cui searched around in front of the dressing mirror but couldn't find it. Now she was not calm anymore.

She turned around and said to the palace maid behind her:

"What are you doing so stupidly? Come and help me find it."

After giving the order, all the maids took action and searched around the dressing mirror, almost tearing up the floor tiles.

But even so, nothing was found.

The queen stood behind the crowd, her palms hidden in her wide sleeves, and her cut nails were hidden in her palms.

Her eyes seemed to pass over the palace maid unintentionally.

The other party bent down and touched the dressing mirror, seemingly looking for it very seriously.

The moment she raised her head to face the mirror, the queen immediately looked away.

Through the mirror, what the maid saw was the anxious and troubled look of the queen.

She was of low status and could only wait outside the dormitory most of the time, unable to eavesdrop on any valuable information.

She has been looking for opportunities to enter the inner chamber, preferably to gain the queen's trust and serve her personally. Only in this way can she better grasp everything about the queen.

And now was her opportunity, how could she miss it.

Thinking of this, she secretly picked up the scissors without anyone noticing, quickly cut off her nails, and held them tightly in her hand.

After doing all this without realizing it, she squatted down and pretended to grope on the ground for a while before she let out a cry of surprise.

"I-I found it."

This sentence made everyone turn to look at her, and they saw that there was indeed a broken armor in her palm.

She took the broken armor and walked carefully to the queen, offering it with both hands.

The queen sneered in her heart. In order to get closer to her, the maid cut her own nails as she expected and acted as hers.

Ever since He Lianjin almost drowned, what the Queen hated most was Xizuo.

One died, and another.

If she hadn't been afraid of disturbing the situation, she would have wanted to beat the little bitch in front of her to death with a stick.

The queen suppressed the anger in her heart and picked up the broken armor from the palm of the palace maid with surprise.

"So many people have not found it, but you have found it. It seems that you are quite attentive. You have helped me a lot."

The palace maid was delighted when she was praised by the queen.

"Thank you very much for the compliment, the Queen. It is my great honor to be able to share the Queen's worries."

"Yes." The queen asked with satisfaction, "What's your name?"

"Go back to your Majesty, my name is Xiaoyu."

"Xiaoyu, are you willing to come and serve me? I just need an attentive maid."

Happiness came so suddenly, Xiaoyu's heart beat wildly with excitement, and she quickly knelt down to thank her. All the other maids looked at her with envy.

Xiao Zuo found out that the queen finally no longer had to worry about a pair of eyes watching her secretly.

Xiaoyu thought she was appreciated by the queen, but she didn't know that the queen put her on the bright side, which was more conducive to monitoring her every move.

The queen dismissed the others and leaned on the warm couch while Xiaoyu squeezed her shoulders.

Aunt Cui took the kodan and applied it on her nails carefully.

Just after applying it, before the kodan was completely dry, Helian Jue came.

The purpose of his coming was firstly to pay his respects, and secondly to inform the queen about the emperor's order for him to collect winter clothes.

After greeting him, before he could say the following words, the Queen interrupted his words.

"Is the emperor cold?"

"After returning to my mother, my son and I are not cold."

The queen glared at him angrily.

"When you came over, Queen Mother felt a chill, and she said it wasn't cold at all."

"Xiaoyu, hurry up and pour the prince some hot tea to go away the cold."

Xiaoyu secretly glanced at Helian Jue, then quickly lowered her head, said "yes", and passed by Helian Jue.

Lord Helian noticed that this palace maid was quite unfamiliar, and couldn't help but ask:

"Is this the queen's new promotion?"

"Well, despite her young age, this girl is very careful. If it weren't for her, the Queen Mother's nails would have been lost."

While speaking, the queen put her hand on Helianjue's wrist and squeezed it hard.

Helian Jue was stunned and met the Queen's wary gaze.

He immediately realized that the Queen Mother was reminding him.

He glanced at the queen's red-dyed nails, then turned to look at Xiaoyu who was pouring tea, and suddenly realized something.

The queen mother rarely dyes her nails, and she is even less likely to promote a young palace maid who is new to her for no reason.

All kinds of abnormal behaviors show that the palace maid named Xiaoyu is not simple.

In this deep palace, the only one who could reach out to the Queen's Palace was Concubine Wen. Obviously, Xiaoyu was sent by Concubine Wen.

Helianjue's eyes were changing, but they returned to calm the moment Xiaoyu turned around with tea in hand.

"His Royal Highness, please have some tea."

Helianjue took the tea cup naturally without even looking at Xiaoyu. This look was very consistent with the posture of a superior person and did not arouse Xiaoyu's suspicion at all.

While drinking tea, he expressed his intention.

"After today, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to pay my respects to my mother for a long time."

"If your Majesty successfully completes the government affairs entrusted to you by your father, even if you don't come to pay your respects, your mother will be just as happy."

Xiaoyu stood aside without saying a word, listening to the queen's words and sneering in her heart.

Everyone knows that Helianjue is a waste. He has a good skin, but he is just a wine bag. If he can provide winter clothes for the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border, the sun will come out to the west.
