Qingchuan: The empress is so cute and charming that she goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 20 Why is Guo Guiren here?

At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, in a hidden corner of the imperial garden,
Zhiyu saw Dongju coming over and coming out from behind the rockery.
"See Guo Guiren!"

Dong Ju bowed and looked at her expectantly.

"Exemption."

Zhiyu glanced at Jinzhan next to him. Jinzhan understood and stepped back far away.
Zhiyu then looked at Dongju,

After seeing each other for several months, Dongju became very haggard.
Seeing her again, Zhiyu also felt a little emotional,

He didn't make a sound for a while, just talking,

Dong Ju knelt down with a "pop" sound.
"My dear, is that you, my dear?"

Ever since Dongju saw the stack of jasmine tea cakes yesterday evening, she had noticed something was wrong.

When I woke up later in the morning, I was given another hint, and I began to speculate.
But it’s too incredible,
Before coming to the Royal Garden just now, she quietly went to ask Aunt Ruan,

Aunt Ruan did not tell Guo Guiren directly whether she had any connection with the empress.
But a few days ago, Guo Guiren secretly gave her a note,
He stepped forward and wrote the recipe for jasmine tea puff pastry.
It was exactly the same as the one the empress had given her that day, both in handwriting and content.

Only then did Dong Ju decide,

I cried hard when I went back, and before I arrived at Shenshi, I went straight to the familiar corner of the Imperial Garden.
Sure enough, I saw Guo Guiren here, no, it was the empress!
After confirming again and again, Dong Ju has determined in her heart that Guo Guiren is the empress.

Zhiyu came to her senses instantly and reached out to help her up.

"It's me, Dongju, you're suffering."

"The slave is not suffering, but the empress is suffering." Dong Ju's eyes turned red and she sobbed softly.

"You went to see Grandma Ruan, right?"

Zhiyu wiped the corners of her eyes and explained softly:
"I don't know why after I died, but when I opened my eyes again, I saw Guo Guiren who had a miscarriage,"

"There is no one available around me, so I couldn't find you, so I had to go to Grandma Ruan."

"Yes, Aunt Ruan showed me your handwriting, and because of what happened in the morning, I dared to confirm it."

Zhiyu nodded, she guessed it,

Yes, she gave the recipe for jasmine tea puff pastry to Grandma Ruan.

She often ate this snack in modern times, and even spent money to buy the recipe.
After wearing it, I missed it very much.
It happened that I heard that the Guarjia family had someone in the imperial kitchen - that is, Nanny Ruan.
I wrote a recipe and gave it to her, asking her to cook it for her occasionally.

This is the huge imperial dining room.

Only Nanny Ruan, a dim sum nanny, knows how to make this jasmine tea cake.
This is also the reason why Nanny Ruan will choose to help her as soon as she reads the note.

"Dong Ju, what else happened after I went there that day?"

Zhiyu asked impatiently.

"On that day, you went to the Ningshou Palace. At your request, I quickly went to the Yangxin Palace to invite the emperor..."

According to Dong Ju,
That day she went to the Yangxin Hall,
Unexpectedly, when Yinzhen was meeting with ministers, Su Peisheng was kicked out.
I wanted to see you for a while, but I couldn't.

After waiting for a long time, Yinzhen came out.

After hurriedly reporting, they were led by Yinzhen to Ningshou Palace.
But when they arrived, they saw Zhiyu’s body.
She was so distraught that she fell forward and cried,
Yinzhen was furious and questioned the Queen Mother,

The Queen Mother didn't care, and said that she was concerned about the reputation of Yinzhen and the late emperor.
Then she and a group of slaves were kicked out,

Dong Ju didn't know exactly how Yinzhen and the Queen Mother talked.
All I know is that since then, the Queen Mother has been worshiping Buddha in the small Buddhist hall and has not left the palace.

Yinzhen posthumously named Zhiyu the imperial concubine Dunyi, and his clothes and belongings were buried with him.
Then Dong Ju followed Yinzhen's arrangement and has been waiting in the Yangxin Hall.

These are not very similar to what Zhiyu guessed, and Zhiyu is completely relieved.
"...It's really Amitabha, blessed by gods and Buddhas. I never thought that my queen would have such an opportunity. It shows that you are a blessed person."

After speaking, Dong Ju clasped her hands together and said to Zhiyu seriously:
"The Prince of Hell doesn't even dare to accept it. My dear, are you afraid that it is a fairy from heaven who has descended to earth?"

Zhiyu, who was struck by Dongju's cute tone, pursed her lips and smiled.
"I don't know either. I just know that our master and servant have renewed their friendship for a lifetime."

"Empress!" The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Dong Ju stepped forward to support Zhiyu and turned around, about to go back.

Unexpectedly, when I look back,

But he met Yinzhen's dark eyes.

Zhiyu's breath stagnated,
"Emperor, Your Majesty!"

Dong Ju exclaimed, and then knelt down with a plop.
"I'm here to greet the emperor. Why is the emperor here?"

As he said that, Zhiyu looked at Jinzhan not far behind him from the corner of his eye.

Seeing her kneeling down in confusion and panic,
He looked like he had just noticed it.
I was so angry that I couldn't even look at the wind.

But now seeing Yinzhen staring at her,
I didn't have time to think about it any more, I just thought quickly about how to explain it.

"Why is Guo Guiren here?"

Yinzhen's cold voice exploded from his ears,

For a moment, Zhiyu seemed to be back when he first came here.

Faced with the situation when Kangxi asked her - "Why are you here, Concubine He?"

"If I remember correctly, Dong Ju, you should be serving in the Yangxin Hall,"

Without waiting for Zhiyu to answer, Yinzhen looked at Dong Ju who was kneeling on the ground next to him, and said expressionlessly:
"Why are you here with Guo Guiren?"

Dongju suddenly became excited and looked at Zhiyu quietly.

Zhiyu noticed from the corner of his eye and knew that she wanted to tell Yinzhen about this.

But not yet,

now is not the time,
Zhiyu tilted his head, gave Dong Ju an "I can't tell" look, and then spoke,

"Back to the emperor, I heard the maids chatting and said that the scenery in the imperial garden was very beautiful recently,"

"I had nothing to do in the afternoon, so I came to take a stroll. Unexpectedly, I met Aunt Dongju, who came to collect petals for incense."

"I asked Jinzhan to help pick it, and chatted with Aunt Dongju for a while."

As he said this, Zhiyu knelt down to plead guilty, "I'm guilty, please be punished by the emperor."

According to the reaction of Marigold,
Zhiyu guessed that Yinzhen hadn’t been here long,
Now she can only bet that Yinzhen didn't hear the conversation between her and Dong Ju.

Fortunately, she made some preparations in advance,
As soon as she finished speaking, Jinzhan tremblingly took out her purse and raised her hands above her head.

Su Peisheng quickly stepped forward to take it and handed it to Yinzhen.

Yinzhen took a look and saw that it was indeed filled with petals of various colors.
Then he waved his hand for Su Peisheng to withdraw.

Seeing this, Dong Ju did not feel relieved and defended Zhiyu:

"Your Majesty, Guo Guiren was worried about the Emperor's dragon body, so he asked a few more questions and told the servants to pay more attention to remind the Emperor to add clothes and eat at night."

"Everything else is gone. Guo Guiren is also worried about the emperor, so he asks the emperor to take a closer look."

Hearing this, Yinzhen lowered his head and looked at the two of them.

Zhiyu felt the line of sight above his head and stayed on his body for a long time.
The hand hanging by her side couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief. As her heart became more and more anxious,

Yinzhen's voice sounded again,
"Since my beloved concubine cares about my body, there is nothing wrong with me. Get up."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and helped Zhiyu up with his own hands.

Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although the concubine cares about the emperor, interfering with the people in front of the emperor is also overstepping the rules. If the emperor does not blame the concubine, the concubine will be satisfied."
