Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chunhua quickly walked out to check. Seeing that Zhong Yuqi and Qiu Shi were back, Chunhua couldn't help but be happy.

"Miss is back!"

Chunhua greeted him and checked Zhong Yuqi up and down first. Seeing that Zhong Yuqi was fine, Chunhua relieved herself.

Qiu Shi smiled and said to Chunhua: "Miss is good!" Thanks to the fact that Miss had already explained before, the Queen Mother summoned Miss to Ningshou Palace to talk, and Miss coped with it. ”

Zhong Yuqi also smiled and said to Qiu Shi: "You are also doing a good job, and you have no stage fright when you speak." ”

Qiu Shi said: "As long as the slave maid thinks of it, if the slave maid says a wrong word, the young lady may be killed, and the slave and maid will never dare to remember every word that the young lady said!" At this time, the slave maid wanted to thank the Queen Mother for making us wait outside for so long. Fortunately, the prince came to the rescue in time, and this matter can be regarded as over. ”

Chunhua exclaimed: "What? Did you really go to the Queen Mother? ”

Qiu Shi nodded and said, "That's right! Fortunately, our young lady can speak well, and her mouth can speak, which makes the Queen Mother happy! Perhaps, our young lady is the only one who has seen the Queen Mother and doesn't have to kneel! ”

Chunhua's eyes widened even more and said, "Huh? The young lady didn't bow to the Queen Mother! ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "In my eyes, kneeling can only kneel to the parents of heaven and earth, and then there are people who are stronger than me." However, I don't think that the status of the Queen Mother is noble, so she is better than me. ”

Chunhua exclaimed, "Oh my God! Miss, you...... You're really ......."

However, Qiu Shi said calmly: "Slaves and maids also hate kneeling, unless they see the emperor!" The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he has to kneel in front of the emperor! ”

Chunhua only opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Zhong Yuqi said: "Today's events can only be regarded as over. The Queen Mother won't believe what we say, but she can't find a loophole for a while. And because the prince is here, the queen mother is close to the prince and has no time to pay attention to us. is also afraid that if you talk too much, it will make the prince unhappy. Don't take it lightly, and don't let any flaws leak out. ”

"Yes!" Chunhua and Qiushi responded in unison.

Zhong Yuqi pretended to be serious and said to Chunhua again: "There's nothing going on in the palace, right?" No one came to the North Courtyard to find fault, right? ”

Chunhua said: "Miss, it's very good in the palace!" Almost everyone stayed in the house and didn't go out, and no one came to our north courtyard. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "That's good! I'm going to rest for a while, so go and rest! ”

After that, Chunhua and Qiushi served Zhong Yuqi for a lunch break, and then went to rest on the couch outside. Inevitably, I have to whisper for a while, it is about the affairs of the palace.

Xiao Yulin was still the same as in previous years, he didn't stay in the palace at night, and went home.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yulin was always at the Empress Dowager Zhao's place, coaxing the Empress Dowager Zhao to be happy, and the Empress Dowager Zhao didn't care about these things.

Xiao Yulin returned to the Ruiwang Mansion, but it was just past the end of the day. As soon as he returned to the palace, Xiao Yulin went to the north courtyard to find Zhong Yuqi.

If you want to keep the New Year today, Zhong Yuqi naturally won't go to bed so early. Now, Zhong Yuqi and Chunhua Qiushi are sitting in the inner room with a fire, talking.

It wasn't until Cuizhu outside saluted Xiao Yulin, and then reported to the house: "Miss Qiyu Zhong, the prince is here!" ”

Zhong Yuqi was not surprised that Xiao Yulin came back early, and only said: "Please come in!" ”

The door opened, Xiao Yulin was still dressed when he entered the palace, and then led Ma Liu into the house. Seeing that there was no one outside, he walked straight to the inner room.

Zhong Yuqi didn't get up, and directly invited Xiao Yulin to sit.

Xiao Yulin sat down, waved his hand at Chunhua, and said, "This king has just come back from the palace with a banquet, so there is no need to serve tea!" ”

Afterwards, Xiao Yulin motioned to Ma Liu to put the brocade box in his hand on the table, and said to Zhong Yuqi: "This king came out of Ningshou Palace, and the queen mother gave this king a lot of things. This king saw that there were a lot of good jewelry among them, so he simply gave them to you! This afternoon, you were wronged in Ningshou Palace, and now that you have taken the Queen Mother's things, you feel more comfortable. ”

Zhong Yuqi couldn't help but smile and said: "The Queen Mother is your mother, and you have to bury the Queen Mother for outsiders, it's really unfilial!" ”

Xiao Yulin didn't care about Zhong Yuqi's ridicule at all, and only said: "The queen mother is the mother of this king, and you will be the wife of this king in the future, both of you are the two most important women in this king's life, how can this king favor one over the other?" Whoever is justified will be on his side. It's just that there are some things that the king can't say clearly on the spot, and he will remedy it afterwards. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "That's really wronged the prince." ”

Xiao Yulin heard this, as if Zhong Yuqi was laughing at him, so he was a little unhappy, and said, "What grievances? A manly man, first level the family, and then rule the world! Although this king doesn't have to rule the world, this family still has to be peaceful, right? It's just because the Queen Mother is an elder, and sometimes the King knows that the Queen Mother is wrong, and it's not good to say the Queen Mother in front of others. ”

Zhong Yuqi said: "I don't mean anything else. If the Queen Mother wants to teach me anything, just preach, as long as she cares. If the Queen Mother doesn't pay attention to it and wants to do something to me, then I am not a virtuous person, and I will not have any complaints about the Queen Mother in my heart. Of course, she is the queen mother, and I can't do anything to her. ”

Xiao Yulin said with a smile: "Then don't worry! The Queen Mother will not dispose of others for no reason, she must have taken the evidence, and this is what she has to deal with. You are not a troublemaker, and the Queen Mother can't take advantage of your shortcomings, at most she just says a few more words. ”

"Today's matter in Ningshou Palace is that I have not considered it enough. I thought that if I made up a lie, this matter would be over. ”

Xiao Yulin was silent for a while, and then said to Zhong Yuqi: "Actually, the Queen Mother already knows your identity. It's also to blame the king for not telling you these things earlier. This king thinks that the Queen Mother will not ask about these things when she summons you to Ningshou Palace. I didn't expect you to make up such words. Fortunately, this king reacted quickly enough, and he could still make a set of statements in front of outsiders. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao knew Zhong Yuqi's identity, although she had already guessed, Chunhua and Qiushi were still surprised. Only Zhong Yuqi was the most calm, because she had already guessed it.

Zhong Yuqi said: "The Queen Mother is most concerned about the prince, and the Queen Mother will naturally ask someone to find out about my identity." It's easy to find out my identity. Perhaps, the Queen Mother wants to force me to tell my true identity, and she will have a reason to handle it in the future. My current identity is Zhong Yuqi from Yunzhou. No matter how much others doubt me, I am who I am. Zhong Yuqi in Yunzhou has already died, no one knows her whereabouts, and no one else can find out. ”
