All the members are villains, and she just wants to show off when she is dressed as cannon fodder.

Wang Cong was stunned for a moment, and finally bowed and retreated.

The empty palace seemed even cooler and quieter at this time.

The dim and flickering candlelight casts the shadow of the gauze curtain onto the wall, as if it were overgrown with weeds. The shadows of wild grass reflected on her body, like shackles that could not be untied or pushed away, cruelly and harshly binding her sorrow.

A gust of wind blew over, and the shadow of the gauze curtain instantly seemed like the tentacles of countless monsters, spreading towards her, trying to trap her.

Queen Mother Qu was scared, and she quickly called Aunt Shen to come over.

She said: "Duo Niang, I'm afraid...it's too quiet here."

Aunt Shen comforted her and whispered softly: "My slave, please stay with you."

Queen Mother Qu shook her head, "Go and call Ruian."

Yuan Tong'er came not long after, and she pushed open the red door of the hall.

There was a long table in the center of the empty hall, which was filled with candles. Queen Mother Qu was holding a candle that was about to burn out to light other candles. When she saw Yuan Tong'er coming, she hurriedly threw the candle aside. , stepped forward and hugged her.

Grandma Shen, who followed closely behind, was stunned when she saw this.

Queen Mother Qu had always been alienated from others, and even her personal maid, who had lived and ate with her since childhood, had never seen her so close to others.

What's more, she is a "concubine" whom she doesn't like very much.

But as a maid, she had no right to interfere, so she only paused and then withdrew.

"What happened to Queen Mother?"

Yuan Tong'er asked.

Queen Mother Qu lay on her shoulder, looking as if she was in a trance.

"...it's so empty here and so cold..."

Yuan Tong'er stroked her back, with an imperceptible smile on her delicate face hidden in the darkness.

She took Queen Mother Qu to the bed, slept with her, and softly comforted her.

"I will spend the night with my mother there. Can we leave tomorrow?"

"No!"

Queen Mother Qu suddenly exclaimed, she grabbed Yuan Tong'er's hand and said: "One night is not enough. It is cold here day and night... How can one night be enough..."

Yuan Tong'er took out her hand and patted her shoulder gently, like coaxing a child.

"It's too space here..."

Queen Mother Qu sighed, "This is the imperial palace. As long as it is an imperial palace, where can it not be empty?"

Yuan Tong'er lay half-stretched beside Queen Mother Qu. There was a reassuring fragrance lingering lightly between the bed curtains, like the blue orchid in the valley that charmed people's hearts.

Her voice was also very light, lingering gently in Queen Mother Qu's ears.

"... If the queen cannot go out, the sons and ministers will be the eyes of the queen. Send all the beautiful things in the world to accompany the queen, and the queen will not feel cold..."

Under Yuan Tong'er's gentle patting, she finally closed her eyes gradually, but her hand kept holding the corner of Yuan Tong'er's clothes and refused to let go. Yuan Tong'er knew that this matter was about to happen.

The next day, before Queen Mother Qu got up, Yuan Tong'er notified Nanny Shen and asked her to go to the princess's mansion in person and bring the singing and dancing troupe from Nanlin.

The magnificent sun rises slowly, and its rays of light float like golden threads in the sky.

Yuan Tong'er stood alone outside the Chonghua Palace, her crimson robe burning like fire against the morning glow, gradually turning red like the skirt of the young Cen Huan who bloomed by chance in her dream.

Sister, wait a moment...

hold on……

"Your Highness, we are here. The Queen Mother has asked you to come over."

The voice of the little chamberlain came from behind. Yuan Tong'er collected his thoughts and responded: "I know, I'll come right now."

When I returned to the palace, I discovered that there was one more person in the palace.

Qu Baiyu was wearing dark clothes as usual and sitting upright in the guest seat. When he saw Yuan Tong'er coming in, he didn't even take a second look. His aura was as light as the cold rain in early spring, cold and distant.

Why is he here?

Yuan Tong'er was a little confused and even more worried that her plan would be disrupted.

The Queen Mother was in slightly better spirits than before, but her breath was even weaker.

She beckoned Yuan Tong'er to come to her. These days of company made Queen Mother Qu rely more on Yuan Tong'er.

"Rian Ruian, A Bao came to visit the Ai family. I heard that you gave the Ai family a singing and dancing troupe, so he wanted to stay and have a look. Are you willing?"

Although no one knew the general reason, the news that Yuan Tong'er and Qu Baiyu had broken up had long been spread throughout Shangjing City, and Queen Mother Qu had inevitably heard about it. Just think that the child's family does not have a long-term child, and it is normal for the child to be separated and reunited.

Yuan Tong'er felt a little uneasy, as it was Qu Baiyu himself who asked to stay, and she was a little doubtful whether he had noticed something. But things had reached this point, and she couldn't go too far.

"Since my son has been given to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother can show it to anyone she wants.

It's just that the song and dance troupe of Erchen is mostly composed of boys and not beauties. I'm afraid it won't suit Brother Yu Wang's taste and will make Brother Wang feel bored. "

Her words were filled with sourness unconsciously, and she didn't forget to give Qu Baiyu a blank look after she finished speaking.

Qu Baiyu chuckled and immediately replied: "Your Highness is really considerate and thoughtful. However, I am used to seeing Mei Jiao'e, so I am really curious about what kind of charm this man has that can make His Highness the Sixth Prince personally I went to Nanlin and spent a lot of money to buy it back."

Qu Baiyu almost chewed the word "personally" into pieces, but Yuan Tong'er only heard "go to the south and spend a lot of money".

She immediately lost her composure and glared at him fiercely.

"Are you following me?!"

Qu Baiyu was stunned by her question. He immediately coughed to cover it up, and then said quibly: "Why should I follow you?"

"Then how did you..."

Yuan Tong'er still wanted to argue, but Empress Dowager Qu clapped her hands gently and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not a big deal. That young man likes a girl, isn't he just rushing to find out what she is doing and what she is doing? What happened?"

"I don't……"

Qu Baiyu denied it softly.

Queen Mother Qu was even dumbfounded and said: "You can do it too. One or two of them are just like children."

Yuan Tong'er was still unforgiving and snorted: "You'd better not!"

Knowing that there was nothing the young couple could do to persuade them when they were having an quarrel, Queen Mother Qu couldn't help but sigh.

The center of the hall was ready, and Queen Mother Qu continued: "Since Ruian has said it, let's just listen to the Ai family, listen to the songs and enjoy the dances, and don't mention anything that is difficult to deal with.

If you are willing to bicker, then fight outside my palace. "

The two of them stopped talking and just watched the singing and dancing.

Unknowingly, the song ended, but Qu Baiyu still had no intention of leaving.

Yuan Tong'er cursed secretly in his heart, this stinky guy is getting more and more annoying!

If he doesn't leave, his plan will definitely be discovered by him! But things have reached the point where I can barely tremble after kneeling three times and knocking nine times. If I don't continue today, I'm afraid I will lose such a good opportunity.

She has to think of a good idea!
