The entrance of Cining Palace.

Chu Yuqin listened to the sound inside.

After a while, Gonggong Cui walked out with a smile on his face: "Boss Chu, the Queen Mother announced that you will go in." Come with us! ”

Chu Yuqin thanked him and followed Grandpa Cui in.

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw a graceful middle-aged woman sitting there.

She has exquisite makeup and extraordinary momentum, and she is obviously the owner here, that is, the most noble woman in the whole world-the Queen Mother.

"You're the master of the Thousand Faces Pavilion?" The Queen Mother said majestically: "Raise your head." ”

Chu Yuqin raised his head, his eyes were facing down, and he didn't dare to look directly at the Queen Mother.

"I've seen the Queen Mother, the mother is a thousand years old."

The Queen Mother laughed: "Sure enough, she is a delicate beauty." The rumors out there are not half a lie. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie's praise. The women were terrified. Chu Yuqin thought about the Queen Mother's intentions.

If it wasn't for something, how could the Queen Mother, who stayed in the deep palace, call her over to worship what Buddha? With her identity, as long as she says that there is a lack of people who worship the Buddha, I don't know how many people want to please her. And she has never seen the Queen Mother, even if she is a maid to worship the Buddha, it will not be her turn. What should be the meaning of the Queen Mother's move?

"Grandpa Cui always mentions you in front of the mourning family. The mourning family hasn't been out of the palace for many years, and they don't know what has become of the outside. You are so transparent that you must know a lot of things out there. During this time, you will accompany the mourning family. Do you want to? The Queen Mother looked at her.

"The women don't dare." Chu Yuqin said: "The people's daughter has a humble status, and being able to serve the queen mother is the blessing of the people's daughter. ”

"Someone, take Miss Chu to her room." The Queen Mother said.

A big palace maid came out from the side. The palace maid said to Chu Yuqin: "Girl, please come here." ”

Chu Yuqin stayed in the palace like this.

The Queen Mother is indeed worshipping the Buddha. It is her homework to accompany the Queen Mother to worship the Buddha for an hour every day. The rest of the time, she was free to move.

Chu Yuqin didn't understand the situation in the palace at first, and he didn't know the temperament of the queen mother, so he restrained himself and reported the principle of doing less and making fewer mistakes. Later, she found out that the Queen Mother turned a blind eye to her, and she began to let herself go.

After all, the Queen Mother didn't say when she would let her go, so she couldn't be idle like this all the time.

Anything else is good to say. The Thousand Faces Pavilion had just opened, and there was not enough goods there. And the lifeblood of the Thousand Faces Pavilion is in her hands. If she doesn't provide the goods, she won't be able to do business.

As a result, Chu Yuqin's actions in the palace became bigger and bigger. Everyone knows that the master of the Thousand Faces Pavilion researches new varieties in the palace.

"Queen Mother, how about this black pearl mask?" Chu Yuqin washed the mask mud off the face of the Queen Mother, and then brought the mirror to her. "Black pearls are too valuable. We have no way to sell it. Only a noble person like the Queen Mother can afford to use a black pearl mask. Therefore, this one is unique to the Queen Mother, and it can also be called the queen mask. ”

The Queen Mother was amused by her words.

"You girl is getting bolder. At the beginning, when I was here in mourning, didn't I even dare to come out of the atmosphere? Now I dare to make jokes about mourning my family. The Queen Mother touched her tender cheeks and smiled with satisfaction. However, the name of the Thousand Faces Pavilion is well deserved. Your craft is enough to benefit your children and grandchildren. ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't know." Chu Yuqin said: "This craft of the people's girl, I'm afraid that others won't be able to learn it." ”

"How?" The Queen Mother looked at her curiously.

"It's a matter of talent. Sometimes you don't have to look at it to know where the value of the flower is. Just by smelling, you can know what kind of fragrance needs to be extracted. So far, I have trained hundreds of my men, but not one of them has learned such instincts. So I think my industry may be going to break down here. ”

The Queen Mother's face was full of regret: "That's a pity." However, you are really a man of God's food. With this craft, who can't remember you well? ”

Gonggong Cui walked in from outside and said to the Queen Mother: "Niangniang, the emperor has arrived." ”

The Queen Mother frowned: "The emperor is busy with government affairs on weekdays, and it is rare to come here once a month." Recently, I've been coming here every now and then. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Chu Yuqin.

"You say, what is the situation with the emperor?"

Chu Yuqin lowered his head and said respectfully: "The people are frightened, and they don't dare to guess the Sacred Heart. ”

"The mourning family is just chatting with you casually, what are you doing so nervous? Stand down! The Queen Mother said lightly.

The emperor had already walked to the door, and of course Chu Yuqin couldn't go out at this time, otherwise he would be facing the emperor head-on.

She had to go behind the screen, so that she avoided meeting the emperor.

The Emperor strode in and looked around the palace, but saw no familiar figure.

Suddenly, he glanced sharply at Gonggong Li.

Gonggong Li lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." The emperor smiled and said, "The mutton shabu made in the imperial dining room today is not bad. Can the queen mother eat happily? ”

The Queen Mother seemed to smile: "Naturally happy." This is the filial piety of the emperor, and the queen mother likes it very much. Emperor, haven't you been busy with government affairs lately? I used to see you once a month, but lately, I've seen you every day. ”

The emperor said helplessly: "Government affairs are naturally busy. It's just that Erchen has been reflecting on it and feels that he has less time to accompany his mother. It is also possible to seize the time to do government affairs. What kind of scent is this? It's the first time I've heard of it. ”

The Queen Mother smiled: "Yu Fei in the Mourning Palace is good at perfumery, and you don't know it." If you like it, I'll ask Yufei to tune it up again. ”

The palace maid named Yu Fei stepped forward and said to the Queen Mother: "Yes." ”

Seeing that the queen mother deliberately pretended not to understand, the emperor did not go around the bend with her, and said straight to the point: "Queen Mother, why don't you see Miss Chu?" ”

"What are you looking for her for?" The Queen Mother pretended not to know his thoughts. "The mourning family asked her to enter the palace to worship the Buddha, and she naturally wanted to help the mourning family copy scriptures or something. What scriptures does the emperor want her to copy? Tell me about it, just tell her a word from the mourning family. ”

"Since the queen mother said it, the son also said it directly. The concubine has always loved beauty, and this Chu girl is good at skin care. So the son wanted to borrow her for a few days, and then give it back to the queen mother. ”

"What does the emperor mean is that you borrowed her to please your concubine?" The Queen Mother had a straight face. "The mourning family called her into the palace to worship the Buddha, but it was not to please your precious concubine. In your eyes, it is important to mourn the Buddha and not accompany your baby concubine? You are blaspheming the Bodhisattva. Amitabha! Bodhisattva, don't blame! Amitabha. ”

The emperor's face was not very good-looking.

A good young girl has to let people copy scriptures, chant scriptures and recite Buddha, isn't this a toss for other girls?

But she is the queen mother, his mother. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he can't be unfilial.

Now it seems that the Queen Mother will not work here. And that Chu Yuqin ......

The Emperor's eyes flashed with a look of imminent victory.
