Chasing the Queen with a Confused System

It took Qin Mu a few days to get used to the days of serving Ning Qingmeng. Qingluan would occasionally be by his side, teaching himself to make different teas, and also taught himself to identify different inks and wines. He also gradually became acquainted with Qingluan.In addition, Xiaotuanzi is inseparable from the Empress now, and it likes itself very much. Apart from being coquettish with the Empress, it will occasionally come over to rub its own feet. When the Empress is not paying attention, Qin Mu will have a cat craving.

It was midsummer, and the inside and outside of the palace was as hot as a stove. Even though Ning Qingmeng's bedroom and study were considered cool, Qin Mu was still sweating from the heat.The maid's gown she was wearing was made of very wear-resistant fabric. One disadvantage of this wear-resistant fabric was that it was impermeable to the wind, and it was very stuffy when worn on the body.

Today, Qin Mu stood behind Ning Qingmeng on duty as usual. Because it was too hot, he kept fanning his face and neck with one hand, and raised his hand from time to time to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, Ning Qingmeng stopped the pen in her hand, so frightened that Qin Mu immediately stood up again, not daring to move, watching his nose, nose, nose, and heart, as if the person who was so hot that he almost wanted to swear was not her Same.

"Come on."

Qin Mu knew that Ning Qingmeng was calling other court ladies, because if she called her, she would definitely call her by her name.Soon there were regular footsteps outside the door, and a court lady lowered her head and bowed to Ning Qingmeng.

"Go to the ice cellar to get ice cubes, the weather is sweltering, let's relieve the heat."

"promise."

When Qin Mu heard what Ning Qingmeng said, it was as if he had seen a savior from the sky, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but smile, unable to hide his joy.Although this ice cube is definitely not as effective as a modern air conditioner, it is better than nothing.

After Ning Qingmeng finished speaking, she picked up her pen and continued to review the memorial, showing a faint smile where Qin Mu couldn't see, and seemed to be in a good mood.The two maids brought in a square ice cube measuring about fifteen inches, and when they were about to put it beside the Empress, the Empress spoke.

"Put it there."

Ning Qingmeng pointed to a place very close to Qin Mu, and the maid immediately carried it over after hearing the words.Qin Mu stood about four people away from Ning Qingmeng. Originally, the ice cubes were placed beside Ning Qingmeng, but now Ning Qingmeng asked someone to put ice cubes beside her. She has three people away from herself.

No matter how dull Qin Mu is now, she understands that Ning Qingmeng prepared it specially for herself, and it would be a lie to say that she is not moved. She really admires Ning Qingmeng's observation skills.She obviously didn't look back, but none of her actions seemed to escape her eyes.

The ice cube was very close to her, and the cold feeling spread all over her body in an instant, and the scorching heat finally subsided, and she couldn't help but lightly touch the ice cube with the back of her hand to make herself cooler.After the two maids carrying ice left, Qin Mu hesitated for a while, then said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Ah."

Ning Qingmeng didn't say much, but just responded softly, which can be regarded as acquiescing that this was specially prepared for Qin Mu by her.The ice in front of Qin Mu gave her a cold feeling, while Ning Qingmeng gave her a warm feeling. This completely different feeling hit Qin Mu at the same time, making the corners of her eyes slightly hot.

Although Ning Qingmeng is usually cold and indifferent, she doesn't have much emotion when she speaks, and she doesn't show it casually whether she is angry or happy. The veritable happiness and anger are invisible, but she is really good to herself, so good that Qin Mu doubted life.

Qin Mu: [Confused, confused. 】

Hu Tu: [What's wrong with the host? 】

Qin Mu: [Let me ask you, what is the empress's impression of me now? 】

Hutu paused there for a few seconds, and then heard its girlish voice: [The empress thinks you are quite smart, and she thinks you learn quickly and can take on heavier burdens, um...]

Hu Tu paused for a long time after speaking, and Qin Mu immediately asked: 【What's wrong? 】

[It’s just that I can’t see some thoughts that are too private, so that’s all I know. 】

Qin Mu felt that it was good for her to know this, at least she knew that the empress had a good impression of her now, and she also thought that she could take on more courage, and now she could go to court.

Hu Tu: [You have already used two chances, and now you have three left. 】

Qin Mu: 【Got it. 】

Qin Mu felt that the heart of this system was a stone, and everyone was so familiar with it that they didn't give him more convenience.It's just that when she thought about it, she felt that she was a little funny. Does the system have a heart?

At this moment, Qingluan came in, and she bowed to Ning Qingmeng and said, "Your Majesty, this is a secret letter from Liuhuo."

Liuhuo, the proprietor of Liuhuo Building, heard that she wears a mask all the year round and behaves perversely, but it is not considered to be a crime, so everyone in the world respects her and stays away from her.However, the name 'Liuhuo' is only used in the palace, and she uses another name in the world - Xia Huoxian.

When Qin Mu heard this name, he had only one thought, and that was—this name was too secondary.

Qingluan handed the letter paper to Ning Qingmeng. Qin Mu didn't dare to look at it, and looked ahead without squinting. He heard Ning Qingmeng's voice when he opened the letter paper, which made Qin Mu suspicious of the content of the letter. curious.Life in this palace can be said to be boring and like walking on thin ice, but Qin Mu is a little yearning for the pleasures of the rivers and lakes. After all, martial arts are fairy tales for adults.

Ning Qingmeng looked down at the contents of the letter paper, her face remained unchanged, and after reading it, she burned the letter with a torch.

"Tell Liuhuo, if Jueming Pavilion takes action, you don't have to hold back, and kill everyone who should be killed."

After Ning Qingmeng finished speaking, Qin Mu's heart felt a little cold. In Ning Qingmeng's mouth, human life is a matter of one word. As long as Ning Qingmeng is willing, anyone can become the soul of the knife.Qin Mu shrank his neck unconsciously, only feeling that his neck was cool.

"promise."

After Qingluan responded, she raised her eyes and saw the ice cubes placed beside Qin Mu. She was stunned for a while, then she showed a clear smile, and retreated.Qin Mu took in all Qingluan's expressions in her eyes, she clearly saw Qingluan's astonishment, but then she seemed to look like 'I understand'.

It seems that Qingluan has never received such treatment?

Qin Mu turned to look at Ning Qingmeng, a little puzzled and a little flattered in his heart, but in the end Qin Mu only rationalized the kindness of the empress to him by saying that he was the empress' savior.

And so is it.

Ning Qingmeng is a very careful person, she only cares about those who treat her well.Qin Mu is special to her, she is her savior, even though she is only a small palace maid now, Ning Qingmeng is willing to treat her well.

Ning Qingmeng was not without suspicion. She had sent the secret guards to investigate Qin Mu many times, and she let down her guard only after she found that there was nothing wrong with this person.In the palace, Ning Qingmeng took every step cautiously, so she would not trust anyone easily, except for the three palace maids beside her, and now there is also Qin Mu.

It is the principle of Ning Qingmeng to be a man who knows how to repay a kindness and whoever has a grudge.Those who have enemies will be repaid a hundred times, and those who have benefactors will be repaid a hundred times.

**

Qin Mu didn't follow Ning Qingmeng all the time, when Qingluan was around, she would run errands, such as delivering letters.Ning Qingmeng does not have a harem, and she is also handling major affairs in the palace.She usually writes a few letters to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and hands them over to the Chief of Internal Affairs to explain some tasks.

Today, after Qin Mu handed in the letter, the head of internal affairs read the letter and then looked at himself, the eyes were really intriguing.The head of internal affairs is Pan Tu, a eunuch in his 40s. His face is painted whiter than a woman's, and his eyebrows and lip balm are drawn to cover up all the wrinkles on his face.His behavior is more feminine than that of a woman, he covered his mouth and smiled lightly, pointed at Lanhua, and spoke softly, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was an eunuch.

However, Pan Tu's work ability is really nothing to say. He will usually finish what the empress ordered in the morning before noon, and he will do it in an orderly manner.Pan Tu managed the House of Internal Affairs in an orderly manner. Most of the time, she made decisions about the affairs of the palace people, and the Empress would occasionally give him some tasks.

Today, Pan Tu's eyes were a bit strange. After he glanced at himself, he smiled and said, "Sister Qin, please wait."

After Pan Tu took a look at Qin Mu, he shrugged his shoulders, covered his mouth with his hands and smiled, and entered the inner hall with his small steps.Qin Mu couldn't help shivering, why did Pan Tu smile so ambiguously, like an old lady looking at her daughter-in-law.Speaking of which, Pan Tu likes to call herself Sister Qin the most. She said that it would be good for Pan Tu to call her Qin Mu, but Pan Tu calls her the left sister and the right sister, so Qin Mu can let him.

Just when Qin Mu was still puzzled by Pan Tu's ambiguous smile, Pan Tu came out with a court lady's robe, and he happily put the robe on Qin Mu's back to measure it. , Others didn't know that they thought he was going to make a wedding dress for himself.

"What's the matter, Manager Pan?"

Qin Mu saw that Pan Tu had been messing with her body in that maid's robe, even though she was very patient, she couldn't help but stop this person from continuing to torment.

"Don't you know? Your Majesty asked me to order some clothes for you. The cloth should be light and wear-resistant. It's too stuffy for you to wear now. This is the treatment only for high-ranking court ladies."

After Pan Tu finished speaking, Qin Mu couldn't help shivering. The empress even noticed this?Qin Mu felt a little hot in his heart, and sometimes felt that the Empress was too good for him to be true, but all this was happening.

Pan Tu struggled for a long time, measured the size very carefully, and then let Qin Mu go.When Qin Mu was planning to go back to the Phoenix Palace, the first rain finally fell in midsummer, driving away the heat of many days.

only--

Meow!Forget about bringing an umbrella!Hasty!Who knew it would rain in this hot weather!

Just when Qin Mu was about to go back to the inner hall of the House of Internal Affairs to ask Pan Tu to borrow an umbrella, he saw someone in green clothes walking towards him with an umbrella in the distance.Qin Mu took a closer look and found that it was Qingluan. Her steps were neither too fast nor too slow, but she arrived in front of him surprisingly quickly, and Qin Mu didn't even come to his senses.

What kind of spell is this?But Qin Mu thought about it, and soon realized that this was probably the legendary lightness kung fu. It seemed that it was not in a hurry, but it was amazing to be able to get in front of him in an instant.

"Give."

Qingluan handed Qin Mu an umbrella, and Qin Mu just woke up like a dream, and said, "Thank you, Sister Qingluan."

"I know you didn't bring an umbrella, but His Majesty asked me to pick you up. Let's go back."

After Qingluan finished speaking, Qin Mu's heart was hit hard again. Would Ning Qingmeng be too foul?Qin Mu even suspected that she had read a lot of romance novels!

Hu Tu: [What's wrong?Chun heart moved? 】

Qin Mu: 【Shut up!Move your sister! 】

Hu Tu: [It's so fierce! 】

Qin Mu ignored Hu Tu, saying that it was false to say that he was not moved, but it was not the kind of love, but the feeling of being cared for and taken care of by others. Qin Mu rarely felt this kind of feeling. She thanked her from the bottom of her heart. Ning Qingmeng.

The umbrella was opened, and Qin Mu and Qingluan walked side by side. The rain wasn't too heavy, but the drizzle still wet the hem of the shoes and the hem of the skirt.The rain was blowing with the breeze, which made the hot midsummer a bit cooler and dispelled the heat for many days.

The two walked in the aisle in silence for a while, then heard Qingluan say: "Your Majesty treats you very well."

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is probably the blessing I cultivated in my previous life."

"Treat Your Majesty well, she has never been like this."

Qin Mu's heart suddenly felt itchy. Wasn't she like this?

Is this really saving the entire galaxy?
