Chapter 42: Overnight at the Queen's Palace

Lu Qingjin looked helplessly at the clean plate that was eaten, and Cai Wei also twitched the corner of her mouth and said with some embarrassment: "The emperor is not full?" There are still a lot of pastries in the kitchen, do you want the slave to get some more? ”

Zhang Dequan looked at her coldly and secretly said in his heart that he was not sensible, so he immediately made a salute and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has never had such a good appetite in recent days, and it is inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much at this time, so the slave will go and get you some good digestible." ”

Lu Qingjin looked at Cai Wei soothingly, Cai Wei took a step back and looked uncertain, Qin Zhao originally felt that he had eaten a little too much today, but this chili pepper was really delicious, so he didn't stop, it was embarrassing to be said, he was quite comfortable hearing Zhang Dequan's words, and nodded immediately: "That's right, I haven't had such an appetite for a long time since I've been busy lately, go quickly!" ”

Lu Qingjin looked at his face-saving behavior quite helplessly, the sky was about to darken, she handed Qin Zhao a cup of tea and urged: "Since Your Majesty has eaten, you should go back, doesn't it mean that these days are busy?" I want to go to the criticism in the future. ”

Qin Zhao really planned to go back in a while, but when he heard this, he felt uncomfortable, and stretched lazily: "Today, but there is no business, after all, I will leave the palace tomorrow, and those courtiers don't have time to say anything." ”

Lu Qingjin was still complaining that the tea was really bitter, but when he heard this, he raised his head slightly: "Out of the palace?" But what's the big deal lately? Why doesn't the concubine remember what big day tomorrow is? ”

Qin Zhao looked at her with some amusement, this woman was still happily talking about the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony a few days ago, but she didn't remember it when it was time to leave, so she teased a little: "Didn't I tell you today, why did you forget it so quickly, it will be the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony in a few days, why can't you always be in the palace!" Count the days and it's time to go. ”

Lu Qingjin then remembered that there was no faster means of transportation such as airplanes in this era, and it was too late for them to set off now, so he nodded clearly: "The concubine forgot for a while, and I just remembered it, but will it be a little hasty to set off tomorrow, after all, the things in this palace have not been cleaned up!" ”

Qin Zhao Bujin smiled, the wind blew in gently through the crack in the door, and he snorted a few times comfortably: "What is this, the internal affairs office in this palace is not a decoration, they are naturally ready, even if you only know it tomorrow morning, it will not prevent you from setting off, the minions in this palace are much more clever than you think." ”

Lu Qingjin was stunned and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, and she couldn't remember it for a while, the bitter tea had no aroma, and the only thing that could be praised was the refreshing effect, she took another sip to have a trace of soberness, if the minions are sensitive, how can Cai Wei not doubt her abnormality at all!

The wind outside the window seemed to be stronger, and the whirring people felt uncomfortable, Zhang Dequan's footsteps sounded, and the door was gently pushed open, Lu Qingjin was a little puzzled when he saw that he was the only one: "Didn't Cai Wei go with you?" Why are you the only one back, what about her? ”

Zhang Dequan smiled a little embarrassedly, he put the tray in his hand on the table, and began to accuse Lu Qingjin after owing a debt: "It's all bad for the minions, there was something on the way that was delayed for a while, and I bumped into Miss Caiwei as soon as I arrived in the kitchen, and there was nothing wrong with the girl, but Miss Caiwei was holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, and now her clothes were soaked, it was really inconvenient to serve, so the slave let her rest." ”

Lu Qingjin didn't care too much, she just suddenly thought of it just now and asked, she didn't really want to need Cai Wei at this time, she said lightly: "It's not to blame my father-in-law, I've been tired all day, and it's not too early this day, if it weren't for His Majesty still here, I think Cai Wei and I would also have to rest." ”

Qin Zhao moved uncomfortably, this sentence seemed to be rushing people, Zhang Dequan looked at the two people and coughed, before this sentence could be spoken, suddenly a gust of wind from where it blew all the doors and windows open, and it happened that there was nothing in the queen's palace, and there was only a dining table and few ornaments in the empty room, not even a screen to cover it.

This gust of wind blew and rolled directly around the room, Lu Qingjin covered his mouth and nose and was almost blown to the point that he couldn't open his eyes, Zhang Dequan was busy shouting to the palace maids and guards outside the door, and a group of people were busy for a long time before they could be closed.

Zhang Dequan was also disgraced, but Qin Zhao was sitting in the innermost part and had nothing to do, Lu Qingjin helplessly touched the pearl cui on his head: "Since the emperor has already eaten, go back!" The weather is really bad, and the concubines are already very tired and don't want to spend time in this place. ”

Zhang Dequan almost raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat several times, from the time he entered the palace to the present, even when Qin Zhao was still a little-known prince, no one dared to speak like this.

Qin Zhao didn't care too much, waved his hand and took a bite of the snack, and after a while, he felt that the snack in his mouth was not quite right, and spit it out a little embarrassed.

Zhang Dequan stepped forward with a wry smile: "Your Majesty can't eat it, I think this point has been blown dirty by the wind just now, if you still want to eat the slave, go and get some more." ”

Qin Zhao waved his hand and said impatiently: "No need, it's not early now, you go and clean up the dormitory!" I've been busy all day, and I'm tired. ”

Lu Qingjin nodded a little sleepily: "Yes, it's this time, Your Majesty should really go back and rest, otherwise you won't be able to leave tomorrow." ”

Zhang Dequan sighed and agreed loudly: "The slave obeys the order, so I will go to the queen's bedroom to make arrangements, and ask the emperor and the queen to wait for a while." ”

Lu Qingjin felt that something was wrong, she raised her head and frowned and poured a sip of tea: "You are going to live here today?" Why don't you go back, this is my palace! ”

Zhang Dequan went out quietly, Qin Zhao looked at her disappreciatively and reminded: "The queen is cautious, besides, what's wrong with me staying here for one night, this is not a holy place, isn't it for me to live in the queen's palace!" ”

Lu Qingjin almost laughed out loud, there is really nothing to do, at least what Qin Zhao said is quite reasonable, this queen palace is indeed the most important place for the emperor to live, but when she thinks of those concubines who are eyeing her, she doesn't think it's a good thing.

Qin Zhao looked at her tangled look a little helpless: "Don't think too much, it's just that the weather is bad today, and I have no choice but to rest here, and I won't do anything to you." ”
