The night was dark, and there were only a few faint lights in the palace. Walking on the bluestone corridor leading to the imperial dining room, Xiaohe felt a slight fear.

In this palace, there has never been darkness that you can't see your fingers, but it gives people the feeling that there is never dawn. Listening to the footsteps of the two people on the bluestone road, Xiaohe felt that this road seemed to have never been able to end.

"Qing'er, how do you know the queen's taste?" At this time, Xiaohe felt that only by finding something to say could she relieve her suppressed emotions at the moment.

"Actually, it's nothing, but Aunt Chenxi once taught me a little bit before." Qing'er tried to say it lightly.

"Aunt Dawn? You're talking about the dawn? Xiaohe heard her mention the morning light, and inexplicably felt that the vest was cold. How did you come to know Dawn? Looking at the delicate girl in front of her, she couldn't help but wonder.

Chenxi entered the palace with her, and her seniority was much longer than Qing'er, a newcomer who had obviously just entered the palace. It stands to reason that they shouldn't have intersected.

"I met her when I was in the Raccoon Bureau. At that time, thanks to Aunt Chenxi's care. Qing'er said as she walked forward.

They passed a small deserted courtyard, Qing'er suddenly paused, looked inside, and said in a low voice, "When Aunt Chenxi was sick, she lived here. At that time, there was no one around her. When she went, she was very lonely. Her suddenly lowered voice and lonely expression startled Xiaohe, and she almost screamed.

"Xiaohe, do you remember when we entered the palace together? You call me sister. Said to be my good sister, but when I left. You didn't even come to see me! Unconsciously, Xiaohe seemed to hear someone in her heart say this to her.

"Dawn, dawn, don't blame me! I really didn't mean to! It's all the queen, it's the queen mother who asked me not to ask you for a doctor! The affairs of the five princes, only you know the inside story. So, you can only be sacrificed. Xiaohe almost screamed and said what was in her heart.

"Aunt Xiaohe. Aunt Xiaohe, what's wrong with you? When Xiaohe regained consciousness, he found himself sitting in the side compartment of the imperial dining room. Qing'er looked at her with concern.

"What's wrong with me?" Xiaohe looked confused. Qing'er looked concerned: "Just passed by the place where Aunt Chenxi stayed, you said it was cold, and then you became delirious. It took me a long time to carry you over. Are you alright? ”

Hearing Qing'er mention the morning light again, Xiaohe's face flashed with fear. Soon. She covered it up: "It's okay." I may have just come out of the hot bed, so I'm very afraid of the cold. Did you make a snack? ”

Qing'er nodded and said, "The plum blossom soup method is actually not difficult, I have already done it." Let's serve it while it's hot, shall we? I'm afraid the queen is in a hurry. Xiaohe nodded and stood up, but felt that her whole body was weak, as if she had no strength at all.

Two people this time. Hurried back to the Queen's Palace, and no one said much.

"Queen. Try this plum soup, is it your favorite taste? Qing'er took the hot plum blossom soup and put it in front of the queen.

Smelling the familiar fragrance, the queen was in a trance. On Qing'er's hand, she took a sip lightly. "That's exactly what it tastes like." She was a little pleasantly surprised.

"It's good if you like it!" Qing'er fed a bowl of plum blossom soup to the queen little by little.

The queen looked at the respectful girl in front of her, and suddenly felt that her face coincided with that of another girl, and once upon a time, there was such a girl, facing her, with a look of piety and respect. "Dawn!" I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the queen muttered.

The girl's hand paused slightly, and then continued to wipe the corners of the queen's mouth, "Niangniang, close your eyes for a while, and the sky will be bright in a while." ”

The queen nodded, and lay down gently by her.

Within a few days, Xiaohe, the palace maid in charge of the queen's palace, fell ill, and was moved out because of fainting and often talking nonsense. I lived in the small courtyard where Dawn once lived.

"Mother, are you feeling better lately?" Looking at the princess Guanqun with a concerned face, the queen couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart. "These days, it seems to be a little better. However, I can only sleep for a while. ”

"Then, Queen Mother, take some more tranquilizing pills! Maybe eat a few more times and you'll be able to get better faster. Princess Guanqun looked a little anxious.

The queen looked at the pill in her hand, gritted her teeth secretly, shook her head lightly, and said, "That's it if you eat more." I don't think the effect of this herb is as good as it used to be. ”

"No, Queen Mother! This is the best medicine the doctor has ever said. Just take another pill! Princess Guanqun caressed the queen's shoulder and comforted her softly.

The queen shook her head, took the pill in her hand, closed her eyes and swallowed it in one gulp. Princess Guanqun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, rest early! The kids are out there! She walked slowly out of the house, and at an angle she couldn't see, the queen quietly spat the pill down her sleeve.

"Guanqun, it's too hard for you to be by my side every day. It's better to let Mama Xu come over and accompany me! ”

"Queen Mother, you have forgotten that Mama Xu has been killed by her father's staff." Princess Guanqun didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and emphasized it loudly to the queen. "It is the child's duty to take care of the mother, you can rest in peace, the child is not afraid of getting tired."

"Hmmm! Then you stay here! There was inexplicable sadness in the queen's voice. Perhaps, she is sad because of Mama Xu?

"Who are you? At this time, who asked you to come over? Looking at this little palace maid wearing a light green palace dress and holding a crystal bowl, Princess Guanqun looked defensive.

"The slave's name is Qing'er, and it was the mother who asked me to prepare supper for her every day." In the face of the proud princess of the crown group, Qing'er is still neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh! Are you good at making late-night snacks? Princess Guanqun looked at the crystal in her hand.

"Princess Qiyu, the queen wants to eat plum blossom soup these days. The slave and maid happened to be able to do it, so the mother asked the slave and maid to send it over. ”

"Okay, then you can put it there! When the queen mother wakes up, I will naturally let her eat. ”

"Princess, it's best to eat this plum blossom soup while it's hot." Qing'er was unexpected, and actually retorted.

"What a bold servant, my queen mother, don't I know how to serve?" Princess Guanqun had never met such a bold palace maid, and she dared to openly disobey her. couldn't help but be furious, and was about to ask the people around her to teach this little palace maid who didn't know the height of the sky, and the queen's voice came out from between the layers of curtains.

"Is Qing'er here? I've been thinking of your plum soup for a long time. Why are you here now? In the silence of the room, the Queen's voice was particularly loving. Princess Guanqun's face turned blue and white for a while when she heard this, and she wanted to wave the crystal bowl in Qing'er's hand, but she didn't do it. (To be continued......)
