Chapter 18: Who Did It

After Shen Bochen hugged Zhao Nuoqing to the bed, Zhao Nuoqing still slept soundly, looking at the woman he painted like a cat, his eyes were full of smiles.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he saw the smile in his eyes dissipate, and the eyes looking at Zhao Nuoqing were no longer soft.

A dreamless night......

In the haze, Zhao Nuoqing's mouth was dry, and she had the habit of getting up early to drink a glass of water on weekdays, so she called out in a slightly misty voice: "Jin He, I want to drink water!" ”

Zhao Nuoqing waited for a while and didn't see Jin He send water, so he raised his voice and called again, "Jin He, water!" ”

At this time, Shen Bochen, who was changing into court clothes, heard the soft call of the woman on the bed next to him, stepped forward, and saw that the woman's eyes were still closed, as if she was in a dream.

The traces painted on her face yesterday are still clearly visible, and the little girl's delicate appearance is very interesting, and the itchy feeling of yesterday seems to hit her heart again.

Shen Bochen dismissed the palace maid and eunuch, poured a cup of water from the teapot by himself, and slowly fed it to Zhao Nuoqing.

It was the first time he had served someone.

After drinking the water, Zhao Nuoqing hooked the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, and did not forget to thank the other party, and then, she fell asleep again, and the corners of Shen Bochen's mouth were unconsciously hooked.

At this time, Han Mingde stepped forward and reminded him: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court!" ”

Shen Bochen nodded, looking at Zhao Nuoqing on the bed in his eyes, but said to Han Mingde: "Go and check, is there any intersection between Zhao Cairen and the queen before entering the palace?" After entering the palace, do you have a private connection! ”

Han Mingde quietly glanced at Zhao Cairen, who was asleep, and after saying "yes", he walked out of the Yangrong Hall with the emperor.

Shen Bochen left with his front foot, and Zhao Nuoqing on the bed with his back foot suddenly opened his eyes.

secretly said in her heart: The emperor really doubted her relationship with the queen-......

Just now she habitually asked Jin He for water to drink, but the water to her mouth was slightly cold, Jin He would never give her cold water, the water temperature has always been warm, so when she drank that glass of water, she reacted that she was not in Lingyun Pavilion but in Yangrong Hall at this time!

When she was about to 'wake up', she heard the conversation between the emperor and Han Mingde, and she didn't dare to wake up.

Looking up at the sky outside the window, the summer sun rose earlier, and as soon as the time came, the sky was already white, Zhao Nuoqing lay on the bed for a while, and then pretended to have just woken up and got up from the wide and soft dragon bed.

The palace maids who were waiting in the Yangrong Palace immediately brought the toiletries, but the moment they saw Zhao Nuoqing, they all lowered their heads violently, and their bodies were trembling constantly.

Zhao Nuoqing frowned, does she look scary? Why did the palace maids tremble when they saw her one by one?

She got out of bed in confusion, but when she passed by the bronze mirror, she suddenly found that the woman in the mirror had drawn three lines on the left and right sides of her face at some point, like a funny clown cat.

Her eyes widened in disbelief.

This...... Who did that?

She finally understood that those palace maids were not trembling because they were afraid of her, but trembling with a smile......

Zhao Nuoqing: "......"

She hurriedly rushed to the basin and began to wash her face, vigorously cleaning the ink on her face, and never forgot to slander in her heart: the king of a country is so naΓ―ve!

After washing and dressing up, Zhao Nuoqing looked at the time and thought that it was time to go and say goodbye to the queen.

Last night, she was taken away by the emperor in full view of everyone, and I don't know how many eyes are staring at her now. Naturally, she could no longer stay in Lingyun Pavilion like before, and in the future, she would have to stay calm every morning and dusk, all of which were indispensable.

As soon as he came out of the Yangrong Palace, he saw Jin He guarding not far from the palace, and hurriedly greeted Zhao Nuoqing after seeing him come out.

"Master!" Jin He only called her lightly, but when he looked at her with a worried face, he seemed to have said a thousand words.

Zhao Nuoqing smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine!" Let's go, go and say hello to the queen! Greetings for the first time, don't be late! ”

Jin He nodded, the master and servant talked and laughed, and soon came to Fengwu Palace, but saw Qingyan standing outside the palace gate and watching, as if waiting for someone.

After seeing Zhao Nuoqing, Qingyan immediately greeted him with a smile, "The queen said that Zhao Cairen must be the first to arrive today, let the slave and maid greet you at the door, Niangniang is really clever!" Zhao Cairen, please come in! ”

Zhao Nuoqing's heart sank slightly, but with a shallow smile on his face, he followed Qingyan into Fengwu Palace.

Fengwu Palace is the residence of successive queens, and it is magnificent at a glance. Stepping through the weeping flower gate, you will be greeted by a spacious courtyard, where all kinds of precious flowers are planted, and the palace maids and eunuchs clean the courtyard in an orderly manner, performing their duties.

Qingyan bypassed the living room, walked to the verandah, and posed a "please" posture towards Zhao Nuoqing, looking at the red bricks and green tiles in front of him, the magnificent living room, Zhao Nuoqing was only puzzled for a moment and followed Qingyan to the verandah.

After passing through the verandah, you will follow the arch into the inner courtyard, which is the queen's bedchamber!

Zhao Nuoqing thought: The queen sent Qingyan to wait outside the palace gate in the morning, and led her to the inner hall instead of the living room, she must have something to say to her.

And she had been looking forward to today's meeting since last night, and she was curious to see what the Queen had to say to her!

Stepping on the smooth cobblestone walkway, you will be greeted by a magnificent and majestic dormitory. The surrounding pavilions and palaces are scattered, and the glazed tiles shine golden in the sunlight.

Zhao Nuoqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the flowers gradually became charming, no wonder the concubines in the palace were always not satisfied with the status quo, and they always wanted to go to the supreme position one by one.

Only one palace is divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the comparison between the two compartments will inevitably make people have strange emotions.

As Qingyan entered the inner hall, he saw that the decoration in the hall was more elaborately carved, Zhao Nuoqing did not dare to take a closer look, slightly lowered his eyes and followed the pace of Qingyan, through the red sandalwood carved begonia embroidery screen, the crystal bead curtain in front of him poured out, and the queen behind the curtain was dressing up in the mirror under the service of the palace maid.

Zhao Nuoqing knelt outside the bead curtain with Jin He and kowtowed to the queen's mother.

After the queen said "no courtesy", she asked the two to get up, and then waved her hand to the crowd, signaling them all to go down.

Seeing this, Qingyan on the side walked to Jin He's side with a smile and said: "Yesterday, the lady rewarded me with some newly made pastries in the imperial dining room, which tasted very good, I was not willing to eat them, today you are cheaper, accompany me to taste it!" ”

Jin He glanced at his master with some unease, and saw that the master bowed slightly to her, signaling to her to rest assured, and then retreated with Qingyan.

Until only the two of them were left in the house, they listened to the queen's pleasant voice behind the bead curtain, "Can Zhao Cairen make up?" ”

Zhao Nuoqing lowered his eyes slightly, and replied respectfully: "There will be some concubines!" ”

After that, in response to the queen's orders, Zhao Nuoqing lifted the bead curtain and walked in.
