Chapter Twenty-Four: Queen Duan

After Nan Xuanyu returned to the Purple Light Hall yesterday, he never forgot the beautiful image in his mind, and as soon as he lay down, Ji Yueqin's smiling face appeared in his mind.

It's not that Nan Xuanyu hasn't seen a beautiful girl, but for some reason, he has always been unforgettable for Ji Yueqin's small figure, and the heart that longs to see her is secretly sprouting. Thinking about Ji Yueqin, he couldn't help but blush on his face.

He couldn't fall asleep on the bed over and over, Ji Yueqin's smiling face lingered in his mind, and Ji Yueqin's affectionate voice calling out to his brother Yu sounded in his ears.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, he saw Ji Yueqin and the demon barrier. In fact, according to Nan Xuanyu's age, it is naturally the reaction of the young man Huaichun, and the ignorant feelings are like water droplets dripping into a deep pool, stirring up ripples one after another.

Nan Xuanyu decided to go to Qianxi Palace to find Ji Yueqin after morning class tomorrow, and finally fell asleep.

The next morning, Nan Xuanyu got up to warm up his books, and waited for the next dynasty before Master Du came to teach. But until after breakfast, I never saw Master Du coming.

Nan Xuanyu couldn't read the book with peace of mind, so he had to ask Li Debao, the eunuch who was serving beside him, what happened in the court today.

Li Debao told Nan Xuanyu about Ji Yueqin's appointment as the county lord today, and Nan Xuanyu knew that Ji Yueqin was the high-profile woman in the harem, that is, the daughter of his mother's ancestor.

According to Li Debao, the emperor wanted to make Ji Yueqin a princess today, but Liu Zhiren was unable to obstruct him, so he made Ji Yueqin the county lord.

Nan Xuanyu was a little happy in his heart, thinking that Ji Yueqin would live in the palace in the future, so there would be many opportunities for him to see her. On the one hand, he felt pity for Ji Yueqin being an orphan girl.

Nan Ruiyuan chatted happily with Du Zihuan and Ji Yueqin here, so much so that Du Zihuan forgot to send someone to inform Nan Xuanyu that he would not teach today.

Nan Xuanyu was waiting for Du Zihuan's arrival bitterly, and he could go to Qianxi Palace to find Ji Yueqin earlier after class. If the queen mother asked, she said that she went to Qianxi Palace to be filial to her grandmother.

......

Time is like grit, you hold it in the palm of your hand, and the grit will still slip through your fingers. Ji Yueqin talked with Nan Xuanrui and Du Zihuan for a morning, Nan Xuanrui still had a lot of twists and turns that had not yet been dealt with, and Du Zihuan remembered that he had not sent someone to inform the prince, so he left in a hurry.

Here, Ji Yueqin had just left the Qingxin Hall with her front foot, and her back foot was picked up by the queen.

Ji Yueqin didn't understand why the queen would send someone to invite her to the Fengxi Palace, but the grandmother sent was menacing, and she had just gained a foothold in this deep palace, and the one who should come would always come, and she could only bite the bullet and see what the queen wanted to do.

Ji Yueqin sat in the sedan chair, without a trace of expression on her face, the queen should be normal when she saw her, but she came out of the Qingxin Hall with her front foot, and dared to intercept her with her back foot, I am afraid that this queen is not a good stubble.

The queen's Fengxi Palace and Qingxin Pavilion are also a distance of incense, and it didn't take long for Ji Yueqin to arrive at the door of Fengxi Palace, no one greeted Ji Yueqin, but was welcomed into Fengxi Palace by the mother who picked up Ji Yueqin.

As soon as the queen saw Ji Yueqin's arrival, she hurriedly beckoned to Ji Yueqin and looked at Ji Yueqin with a smile. In the eyes of outsiders, the queen mother is the world, and her down-to-earth and generous appearance can't help but praise her three points, but in Ji Yueqin's eyes, she can see the false face of this queen.

She did have a smile, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, and her eyes revealed a strong hatred for Ji Yueqin and a little subtle feelings that couldn't be explained.

Ji Yueqin was a little puzzled, she had just arrived in the palace and had not made enemies, why did this queen have such a deep resentment towards herself. After thinking about it carefully, Ji Yueqin remembered what Nan Ruiyuan and Du Zihuan had just said in the Qingxin Palace, Nan Ruiyuan loved his mother, so this queen would resent her mother, and thus resented herself.

Thinking about it like this, Ji Yueqin was relieved, and she also thought a little about this queen.

Ji Yueqin saluted the queen gracefully, "Yueqin has seen the queen's mother." ”

"Yueqin is such a good name." The queen looked at Ji Yueqin like this, and the hatred in her eyes deepened a little, but she still didn't change her face.

The queen pulled Ji Yueqin to sit down beside her, and held Ji Yueqin's hand affectionately, like a kind elder.

"The mother is really ridiculous." Ji Yueqin also maintained the smile on her face and said to the queen affectionately.

"I've heard about my sister's business, and I'm really sorry for my sister." Although the queen looked like she was weeping, the hatred and indescribable joy in her eyes did not escape Ji Yueqin's eyes.

"On the Zong family's side, you are the only one left, how can this palace not worry." The queen kindly touched Ji Yueqin's head, but there were countless thoughts in her heart that she wanted Ji Yueqin to die.

If Ji Yueqin also died, then the so-called Zong family would no longer exist. Then her father's Duan family is divided, and it is the Zong family.

"Don't be too sad for the queen, the Si people have passed away, and I hope that the mother will take care of her health." Ji Yueqin lowered her head and said sadly.

"Why are you so born this child, although this palace is the queen's mother, but this palace is also your aunt. In the future, I will call this palace my aunt, don't let people see us and feel angry. The queen said to Ji Yueqin with a smile.

"Yes, Yueqin listens to her aunt." Ji Yueqin also responded to the queen submissively.

Ji Yueqin knew that she couldn't show her edge for the time being, at least in front of the queen, she needed to maintain her intimacy with the queen, so that the queen would not be suspicious of her.

So Ji Yueqin took the queen's hand and said affectionately: "Then can Aunt Yueqin come to greet her aunt every day, and can Yueqin often come to play with her aunt?" ”

When the queen saw Ji Yueqin taking the initiative to pull herself, her face froze, if she saw this face similar to Duan Rou every day, she would definitely go crazy.

She wanted to tear this face that was always innocent and kind like Duan Rou, but now that Nan Ruiyuan officially favored Ji Yueqin, she was not stupid enough to hit the knife, and there were still many pairs of eyes staring at her in the harem, she couldn't take a wrong step and become irreversible.

The queen pulled out a stiff smile, looked at Ji Yueqin and said: "Silly girl, after becoming the county lord, you have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting well, and when Yueqin grows up, she can be married to someone, how can she have time to come to see her aunt every day?" ”

The queen felt that it was a little inappropriate to say this, and immediately hurriedly added: "If Yueqin has time, she will come to see her aunt more." ”

Ji Yueqin smiled sweetly at her, "Aunt is so good to Yueqin." ”

When the queen heard Ji Yueqin say this, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she didn't know whether this Ji Yueqin really thought that her aunt was good, or whether she was learning from Duan Rou's appearance of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but she was thinking more and more about this Ji Yueqin in her heart.

The two chatted falsely and stiffly for a while, and the Queen Mother sent someone to Fengxi Palace to pick Ji Yueqin away.

After Ji Yueqin was picked up, the queen's face immediately sank, and she changed back to a high-minded appearance.

"Tinglan, look at the tea." The queen had a gloomy face, squeezed the Jinpa in her hand tightly, and commanded.

"Yes, sissy." Tinglan went to pour tea.

At this time, Zhilan came in hurriedly from outside, and saw that the queen was the only one in the hall, so she saluted the queen.

The queen waved her hand to dispense with Zhilan's salute, and Zhilan stepped forward and whispered to the queen: "Niangniang, Lord Liu's letter." Then he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the queen.

The queen opened the letter, and when she read the contents of the letter, her face became even heavier, so she lit it and threw it aside. At this time, Tinglan served the poured hot tea, and the queen was burned by the tea before she could drink it, and smashed the cup out with her backhand.

The cup smashed straight on Tinglan's body, and the hot water burned Tinglan's hands red, but Tinglan didn't dare to make any sound, just knelt on the ground and confessed his mistake: "Niangniang, Tinglan didn't mean it......"

"You want to burn Hongu?" The queen glanced at Tinglan who was kneeling on the ground viciously, and slapped it fiercely.

I saw that Tinglan was knocked to the ground, the red fingerprints on her face were clearly visible, and a trace of red oozed from the corners of her mouth, which showed the queen's strength.

The queen wanted to say something, but she only heard the voice of the announcement from outside the palace: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The queen was overjoyed when she heard this, Nan Ruiyuan hadn't been to Fengxi Palace for a long time, but she looked at Tinglan on the ground with disgust and glanced at Zhilan.

Zhilan said coldly: "What are you still doing lying there, don't clean it up quickly!" If you make the mother unhappy again, you know what will happen in your heart. ”

Tinglan had to get up quickly, pick up the debris on the ground, wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and stand straight aside.

When the queen saw Nan Ruiyuan's figure, she hurriedly greeted her and blessed the emperor: "The concubine has seen the emperor, what kind of wind blew the emperor into my Fengxi Palace." ”

With the affection in the queen's eyebrows, she looked at Nan Ruiyuan with a little shyness.

Nan Ruiyuan looked at Duan Xue's face that looked like Duan Rou, and saw the emotion in her eyes, so he remembered that he had calculated his own affairs, and turned his head away with some disgust.

"Why did you bring Yueqin to Fengxi Palace today?" Nan Ruiyuan walked straight into the hall and sat on the main seat, inadvertently catching a glimpse of the mark on Ting Lan's face, but staring at Duan Xue quietly.

Duan Xue heard Nan Ruiyuan ask about this, and the smile on her face froze there, but after just a moment, she said coquettishly: "What did the emperor say, Yueqin is my niece, and I, as an aunt, naturally want to see each other." ”

Nan Ruiyuan snorted coldly and warned Duan Xue: "You'd better not think anything about her, if I know what you dare to do to her, I won't let you go this time." In your harem, I have always opened one eye and closed another. How did you sit on the throne of this queen back then, you know it clearly, and I don't need to remind you anymore, right? ”
