On the wedding night, I beg Your Majesty to give me a soup

The ice and snow have not yet disappeared, and the palace people are busy clearing the snow on the royal road. On the eaves, long ice crystals hung low, and the sound of ticking water could be heard from time to time.

Two sedan chairs arrived at Cining Palace one after another, one with a phoenix and one with a dragon, showing the distinguished status of the visitors. Yingge lifted the curtain, and Lin Youyi bent down to stand up. Someone stretched out his hand to help her. When she took a closer look, she saw Li Duan's smiling face.

That smile was like a sweet spring, slowly flowing into her heart, nourishing every dry part of her heart inch by inch. The biting chill brought by the cold wind seemed to be warmed by this smile.

A man, the most noble man in Datong, is waiting for you in this ice and snow. Even if it is not Lin Youyi, anyone else would be moved, right?

But after being moved, I felt heartbroken. Lin Youyi handed the copper pot in his hand to Li Duanjin, and touched his hand, feeling the biting coldness.

Li Duanjin said: "I thought you would be there soon, so I waited for you to go in together."

Unlike Lin Youyi's joyful mood, Huo Yuyin's face had been so heavy that she couldn't let go.

After getting off the phoenix chariot, the three large gilded characters of Cining Palace fell directly into Huo Yuyin's eyes. The scene from that year could not help but come to her mind.

She thought she would never enter the palace again in this life, but unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, her disciple became the Queen of Datong.

This fate seems unavoidable no matter what.

"master?"

Huo Yuyin was lost in thought, and Lin Youyi called her several times before she heard her. She came back to her senses and saluted Li Duanjin: "I have met Your Majesty." But her eyes were fixed on Li Duanjin, and she lowered her head slightly until Li Duanjin looked at him.

"Mrs. Huo, you don't have to be polite." Li Duanjin personally helped Huo Yuyin up.

When Li Duanjin stretched out his hand, Huo Yuyin shrank subconsciously, and Li Duanjin paused.

Huo Yuyin reacted immediately and explained: "Thank you, Your Majesty, a woman from the mountains and fields for making Your Majesty laugh."

Li Duanjin didn't take it seriously and said, "Go in," and then took Lin Youyi and walked inside.

Huo Yuyin stood up, her eyes fell on Li Duanjin's straight back, her expression was complicated, and it took a while before she started to follow him.

The Queen Mother was dressed in heavy palace clothes, wearing a pebble-sized emerald gold necklace around her neck, a string of dark agarwood bracelets hanging on her wrists, and a dazzling blood-red gemstone ring between her fingers.

What's even more eye-catching is the glittering golden nail set inlaid with numerous treasures.

A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Youyi's eyes. The Queen Mother was dressed much more elegantly today than usual.

Although the relationship with the Queen Mother has eased, her actions today are indeed a bit unusual, and Lin Youyi is very cautious.

However, unexpectedly, the whole meal process was very calm, and the Queen Mother could not detect anything unusual.

After finishing the meal, Lin Youyi sent Huo Yuyin out of the palace. Looking at the sedan chair moving away, her doubts became more intense.

"If you are reluctant, you can always summon Mrs. Huo into the palace." Li Duanjin saw Lin Youyi's expression clearly and said comfortingly.

Lin Youyi turned to look at Li Duanjin, shook his head and said, "Don't you think your mother's behavior today is a bit abnormal?"

Li Duanjin thought about it and understood Lin Youyi's worries.

He stroked her hair gently, thinking about his mother who loved him with all his life, and comforted him, "Maybe she just wants to ease the relationship with you and make up for you."

Lin Youyi thought that at the banquet just now, she had specially observed that the Queen Mother's attitude towards the master was indeed no different. She thought that maybe it was true as Li Duanjin said, so she didn't think more about it.

Li Duanjin stretched out his hand to straighten Lin Youyi's cloak, which had been blown open by the wind. Then he held Lin Youyi's hand and walked slowly on the royal road. The winter sun shines on them, bringing a touch of warmth. Lin Youyi looked sideways at Li Duanjin, with a smile unconsciously raised at the corner of his mouth.

"I've been busy with political affairs recently, so I don't have time to spend time with you." Li Duanjin said guiltily.

Lin Youyi shook his head and reached out to hold Li Duanjin's hand. "You have a heavy responsibility, so you must put state affairs first."

Li Duanjin stopped and turned to look at Lin Youyi, "But I still want to spend more time with you."

Lin Youyi's heart felt warm, and he took the initiative to approach Li Duanjin and gently leaned on his shoulder.

"We still have a lot of time in the future and can do many things together." Lin Youyi said softly. As long as the pregnancy is resolved, she doesn't have to leave him.

Li Duanjin stretched out his hand to hug Lin Youyi into his arms, lowered his head and left a kiss on her forehead.

The two of them hugged each other quietly, enjoying this rare quiet time.

Outside the Yuyin Women's and Children's Hospital, Huo Yuyin watched Heshun and his party leave, and was about to go in when someone suddenly appeared next to him.

"Madam, my master invites you." The man who looked like a guard said, with his hand on the handle of the knife beside him, and his tone was undeniable and strong.

Huo Yuyin glanced at the medical center and followed this person to leave.

In the solemn Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was sitting on the throne. Her eyes were like torches, fixed on Huo Yuyin in front of her, her eyes full of expectation.

There was a hint of concern in the Queen Mother's voice: "Yuzhen, you are well." Her tone revealed that she was surprised and surprised by Huo Yuyin's return.

Huo Yuyin bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern." She knew in her heart that Queen Mother's happiness was not because of her, but for other reasons.

Sure enough, the Queen Mother asked cautiously: "Is he okay?"

Huo Yuyin said softly: "Everything is fine with Your Highness. There is no need for the Queen Mother to worry."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, with a flash of tears in her eyes, "I haven't seen him for many years, is he okay?"

Huo Yuyin said softly: "Everything is fine with Your Highness. There is no need for the Queen Mother to worry."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, endless thoughts welling up in her heart. She sighed: "Yuzhen, you have worked hard these years. Now that he has grown up, can you tell the Ai family where he is? Even just take a look from a distance."

Huo Yuyin was silent for a moment, still bowing her head and saying nothing.

The Queen Mother took a step forward excitedly, her hands trembling slightly: "We are mother and son. From the time he was born to now, the Ai family has never even seen him. Yuzhen, please understand the feelings of a mother."

A trace of sympathy flashed in Huo Yuyin's eyes, but her stance was extremely firm. She said softly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to answer. With a heavy destiny, Yuyin does not dare to be negligent in the slightest."

The Queen Mother's face gradually turned gloomy, her eyes widened, and there was a hint of threat in her voice: "Huo Yuyin, don't be ignorant!"

However, Huo Yuyin was unmoved. She straightened her body and looked at the Queen Mother firmly.

The Queen Mother's anger swept over her like a storm. Her hands clenched into fists, but in the end she still did not dare to take action.

Huo Yuyin turned and left, leaving the Queen Mother in place, her eyes full of helplessness and disappointment.

Just when Huo Yuyin was about to step out of the palace, her footsteps suddenly stopped. She turned around, looked directly at the Queen Mother with sharp eyes, and asked in a calm tone: "Do the patches of infertile herbs in the Queen's courtyard have anything to do with you?" (End of Chapter)
