After waking up from the dream, there was no sleep, and when everything was quiet, the copper kettle in the outer hall leaked more and more clearly, and the tick-tock seemed to be lonely and difficult to endure the long night. The Queen Mother's throat was dry and she wanted to call a palace person to hand over a cup of sugar water to moisten her throat, but she coughed a few times first.

The outer hall turned on the lamp in response, and the maid who kept vigil did not rush in to serve, but went to open the door of the temple first. The door was ajar, and a slender figure rushed straight into the inner hall with a cool breeze.

The palace people followed closely to turn the lamp for the inner hall, and she handed a small bowl of sweet soup based on hibiscus snow lotus in her hand, and the silver spoon and silver cup reflected the dancing candle flame, and the sweet soup was clear and sticky when it was delicious. When she looked up, she was facing a pair of slightly tired and caring eyes, and it was her personal maid, Empress Fu Yinyin.

"Close" is true, but "maid" is inappropriate, Huangfu Yin Yin is a dutiful maid in front of her, but people other than her have to call each other "Huangfu Lord".

As the youngest and most characterful of the female officials in the inner court, Huangfu Yinyin's life experience is considered by outsiders to be a famous lady from a family of the world, and she was made an exception because of her outstanding talent and the appreciation of the Queen Mother, and later volunteered to stay in the palace to serve. Only the Queen Mother herself knew that it was just a wolf girl she rescued in the barren mountains of the hunting ground in the autumn of a certain year. She picked up the thin and dirty child among the wolves, gave her her name and background, and gave her a new life, and then there was a smart and clever little maid by her side who refused to leave.

"Did the mother have a nightmare?"

A warm towel covered her, and Yin Yin cleaned the towel and slowly wiped the thin sweat from the corners of her forehead. But the whole person only knelt on the side of the bed and kept a proper distance, so as not to let the cold of the night pass into her tent.

"What's wrong, is the sweet soup not delicious?"

Seeing that she seemed to be a little absent-minded, she drank the sweet soup without a mouthful of it, as if she was preoccupied. Yin Yin only thought that his soup was not prepared properly enough, so he casually beckoned the palace people to withdraw the sweet soup.

The Queen Mother came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head, while retreating the palace people, she helped the people on the ground up and sat on the edge of the collapse close to her. In today's Da Liguo, the only person who can sit on an equal footing with her in private is Yin Yin except for the emperor.

"Silly boy, how can it not taste good, the palace people in this palace don't care about it, only your craftsmanship can enter my mouth. It's just that this soup seems to be freshly boiled, did you just go back to the palace and boil this Laoshzi thing overnight. He waited in the cold wind outside the door for a long time. I'm afraid it's hard work, right? ”

Yin Yin was still wearing the official uniform configured by the female official when she visited her relatives, obviously she didn't have time to rest for a while after returning from this visit and rushed to make soup for her. It wasn't meant to be a credit affair. She complained softly. Yin Yin was embarrassed first. I only responded with a "no hard work" and smiled happily on my face.

As a female official, although Huangfu Yin Yin only takes care of the official affairs of the inner court, she has the temperament and demeanor of a woman who does not let her eyebrows, and when she wears an official uniform and her long hair stands up, she is also a chic style, but in front of the Queen Mother, she will occasionally show some little daughters. Just like at this moment. After receiving the compliment, her fingers would always unconsciously wrap a strand of broken hair, and she would just look down stupidly and smile and blush.

The Queen Mother is close to her, in addition to her thoughtfulness and appropriateness, the most distressing thing is her appearance at this time. It seems that the whole world can only see the heroic posture of the emperor, but he is like a relative, more generous than his sister and closer to his mother.

Yin Yin calculated the time and wanted to persuade the Queen Mother to take a nap for a while, but the Queen Mother muttered that she had no intention of sleeping and walked to the dressing table by herself, turned around and beckoned her to help her go over to grate her hair. With a helpless smile, she got up first and put on a coat for the Queen Mother before taking a grate comb and hair oil. In the faint scent of osmanthus, the tooth comb is accompanied by the slow pressing of the fingertips, and even people with insomnia are no longer irritable.

"I haven't had time to ask you, how is the body of the Emperor Fu? Really sick? ”

"I'm really sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this winter."

"You're used to being a disobedient person. You are specially allowed to leave the palace for a few days to go back to visit relatives, and then you will be gone for two days and then rush back in the stars and moons, where does it look like a filial child visiting relatives. ”

"Originally, there was something 'pro' to explore. The palace is home, and Yin Yin naturally wants to come back. ”

"This palace is lonely and empty, and in autumn and winter, there are only lights and no popularity, what's so good."

"There's you in the palace."

The Queen Mother looked back at her, as if she was smiling, as if she was laughing at her for saying something flamboyant. She pretended to smile ignorantly, raised her eyebrows to show that she was not wrong, and after curling the green silk on one side, she went around to the other side and added softly.

"Where you are, where is home."

She was raised by wolves in the mountains, no parents are unknown, no memory of the so-called abandoned childhood, all her memories are from the time of first meeting with the Queen Mother in the mountains and forests. Even if she was given a new birth and name later, the illustrious imperial family and the glorious female official status were all given by the Queen Mother, but they were only gifts attached to her body, and the precious but alienated gifts could never be integrated into her life and flesh.

She is smart and tenacious, and she quickly learned to read and write after getting rid of the mountains, and at the beginning she entered the palace in the name of the daughter of the emperor's family. Only she knows best in her own heart that what still flows in her bones is the sharp and cold of wolf nature, so she acts coldly on official affairs and is more unsentimental in private affairs, only in matters about the Queen Mother, she will become a veritable "Yin Yin": rich in affection, sometimes sad and sometimes fiery.

As if remembering the hunting in the mountains back then, Yin Yin lost his mind for a while, and when he turned back, he found that the grate comb was still in his hand, and his long hair had been pulled up, and his fingers were being gently held in his hand by the Queen Mother. Her fingers were clean and slender, and there were a few thin calluses left over from years of martial arts practice on their fingertips, which looked smooth and shiny by the candlelight because of some fragrant flower oil. The Queen Mother never hid or deliberately held the old and heavy shelf in front of her, and at the moment traced the shape of her fingers along the smooth grease like a curious child.

"Even if you are not a relative, you will always return the name of the Huangfu family. It's just that it's not close for many years, and the etiquette that should be there when encountering major events is still there, and be careful of people talking too much. ”

Knowing that she was cold-tempered, the Queen Mother was only admonishing and not admonishing, so Yin Yin nodded respectfully when she listened. When I looked up again, I saw that the other party was playing happily between his fingers and the flower oil, and secretly laughed again. Her queen mother is most of the time described by others as a strong man of the thunderous sun and moon, but she can always see that there is always a lonely and boring little girl behind the dazzling sun and moon.
