Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 499
Who in the palace would dare to trouble her now?

Not to mention those little maids and eunuchs, even the masters with lower status were very polite when they saw her, for fear of neglecting her.

As for Concubine Xian and Concubine Duan, they would not lower their value and go to the Leng Palace to trouble her, a little maid.

During the days when Nan Zhen left, Dongyue took care of the vegetable field at the back and nearly doubled the size. The days are not boring, just...

She bit her lip, looked at the person in front of her, and said nothing again.

Dongyue closed her eyes subconsciously, preventing Nan Zhen from seeing the emotion in her eyes clearly, "What do you want to eat at night, the maidservant will do it. You haven't eaten the food cooked by the servant girl for a long time, and I don't know if you want to miss it. The servant girl feels that I have Cooking has improved."

She tried her best to be more natural and lively, but in Nan Zhen's eyes, she was full of restraint, and she became a lot stranger in an instant.

Nan Zhen saw that her smiling face was uglier than crying, and sighed, without further questioning, she just said, "Then you can do a few things that you think you are good at, and you haven't eaten good ones these days, I love everything you do eat."

She didn't want to say it, and Nan Zhen wouldn't force her either.

When she figured it out, she would speak.

Dongyue was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and her eyes turned red for a while, "Okay, servant girl, let's go get ready now!"

After all, he ran away in a hurry.

Nan Zhen stared at her running back, the corners of her mouth drooping.It seems that later on he will ask Xiao Guizi what happened during the time he was away.

After simply washing and washing, she changed her clothes and took a nap, but there was no sign of A Jing, so Nan Zhen went out to look for her.

All the way along the gravel path, spread lightly, and soon arrived at the vegetable field in the backyard. Ah Jing was standing under a cypress tree, looking up at the top of the tree for a while, and looking down at the ground for a while. To be precise, she was watching root.

"Looking so seriously, what did you find?"

Nan Zhen asked casually, but unexpectedly, Ah Jing pointed to the root of the tree very seriously and said, "It seems that someone turned it over."

The land around the cypress tree is very flat, except for this one, the soil is slightly loose, and it looks like it has been turned over and refilled.The weeds that originally grew on it were also messy and skewed, unlike other places that were neat and natural.

Ah Jing squatted down slightly, "I heard that the harem has a lot of ways to harm people, don't let other people bring dirty things in and bury them under the cypress tree, trying to trick the empress... huh?"

She paused suddenly, and the tip of her nose twitched.

Nan Zhen didn't know why, "What did you find?"

"It smells like wine."

Nan Zhen also squatted down, but she didn't smell anything.

Ah Jing explained, "My sense of smell is much more sensitive than other people's. The smell of this wine is already very weak. It's normal for the empress to not smell it."

Alcoholic...?
Nan Zhen was still thinking about it, turned her head, and saw A Jing walking over with a small hoe on her shoulders, her eyes were shining brightly, "Ma'am, let me dig it out, I've never seen such an evil thing before." !"

"..." Nan Zhen was speechless.

Is this something good? Why does she look like she found a baby?

When Ah Jing swung her hoe and was about to crash into the ground, Nan Zhen looked at the corridor and Fangtang not far away, and suddenly felt blessed, and raised her hand to stop Ah Jing's movements.

"Stop digging, I know."

Ah Jing: "Huh? Ma'am, are you sure?"

Nan Zhen nodded, and understood why Dongyue was so abnormal when she came back.

"Ma'am, what's buried in the field?" Ah Jing was really curious, and she asked while following her steps with a hoe on her shoulder.

Nan Zhen glanced at her, Ah Jing immediately became obedient, and made a gesture of shutting her mouth, indicating that she would not ask.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, I heard the other party's voice, "There is a person buried."

"Ah—" Ah Jing opened her mouth wide, then quickly closed it again, "Oh."

Seeing Nan Zhen walking farther and farther, she hurriedly followed, leaned close to her ear, and asked softly, "An enemy?"

"No."

"The empress buried it herself?"

"Ah."

……

Dongyue was dexterous, seven or eight dishes were served on the round table before it was dark.

There are steamed pork and Sixi meatballs that Nan Zhen likes to eat, and the golden soup fish is sprinkled with chives and peppers, which makes people move their index fingers.After learning that A Jing is from Miaojiang, she will also learn two dishes according to her taste.

Ah Jing stepped into the threshold, saw the dishes on the table, and couldn't help but praise, "Dongyue, you can even cook our special dishes!"

It really surprised her.

Dongyue scratched her head in embarrassment, subconsciously looked at Nan Zhen, and then said, "I just learned from the recipe. It's the first time I make it, and I don't know if it's delicious or not."

"Just by smelling it, you know the smell is unmistakable!"

Ah Jing picked up the chopsticks, poked a piece of fish ball into her mouth, chewed it a little, then gave Dongyue a thumbs up, "Delicious!"

Dongyue showed a naive smile, "Just as long as the girl likes it."

"You can call me A Jing, don't always be a girl, it's too natural, isn't it ma'am?"

Nan Zhen glanced at the two of them and said with a smile, "It's up to you, anyway, there are just the three of us here."

Dongyue yelled "Ah Jing" politely, and then took an empty bowl to hold the soup, "Madam, the soup is a little hot, I'll put it here for you to dry."

"Thank you."

Nan Zhen's thanks made Dongyue a little uncomfortable, carefully observing her expression, but couldn't see anything.

Could it be that after the empress returned to the palace, she found that she had a bad attitude and got angry?

Dongyue pursed her lips, not daring to look too carefully. After putting down the soup bowl, she stepped aside and secretly grabbed her sleeve.

The atmosphere between master and servant was a bit subtle, A Jing pretended not to know.

Facing a large table of delicacies, she had a great appetite, and her stomach was so full that she had to sit on a stool for half an hour in order to digest.

After the meal, Dongyue went to wash the dishes, and Nan Zhen tidied up the room a little before going out of the courtyard.

The side hall and the main hall are very close to each other, and you can reach it through a corridor and then through a stone arch.

Nan Zhen walked slowly, looking up at the sky from time to time, feeling the breeze blowing across her cheeks, her brows relaxed a little.

The sky is low, the stars are twinkling, the shadows of the trees are whirling, and the afterimages of willow tremblingly climb up the railing in the wind——

Tonight, the moonlight is beautiful, just like the night when she first arrived at the palace.

Nan Zhen unconsciously twitched the corners of her lips, and when she came back to her senses, she had already walked to the place where Dongyue lived.

The house was lit, the door was wide open, but no one was there.Nan Zhen looked around, and finally found Dongyue under the vines hugging each other.

There was a swing hanging under the vines, and Dongyue sat on the swing, swaying to and fro, her eyes dazed, immersed in her own thoughts, she didn't even notice that Nan Zhen approached.

"It is said that after death, a person will become a star in the sky, and whenever those who miss her look up at the sky, they will be able to see it." Nan Zhen paused, "Have you found this star?"
