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

Chapter 41 Zhiyu: Thank you for this era without surveillance cameras!

Zhiyu made no move for a moment,
"Nanny Lan Ying, the Queen Mother..."

"Concubine Guo, the Queen Mother has already given instructions. This is to pray for the Emperor and yourself. Please don't slack off."

Lan Ying continued to maintain the posture of reaching out to invite her,
The two were in a stalemate for a moment,

Zhiyu took a deep breath and walked towards the small Buddhist hall of Ningshou Palace.

In the small Buddhist hall,

"哗啦" sounded,
A bowl of beans was scattered on the ground under the Buddha statue.

"Concubine Guo, please invite me."

"Aunt Lan Ying, there is no futon here. There are so many beans. It will take at least an hour or two to pick them all."

Jinzhan looked around and couldn't help but raise questions, expressing his grievance for Zhiyu.
"How can one bear to live without a futon?"

Lan Ying glanced at Jinzhan disdainfully, then turned to Zhiyu and blessed her body perfunctorily.
"The Queen Mother picks Buddha beans in the same way,"

"Therefore, there are no futons prepared in Ningshou Palace. I can only bear with you, Concubine Guo, for a while."

"you……"

Zhiyu grabbed Jinzhan who wanted to argue and showed a formulaic smile.
"If the Queen Mother can do it, as a junior, I can naturally do it too."

"Concubine Guo knows the general outline."

Lan Yingpi complimented with a smile, then turned around and called a little palace maid who was guarding the door outside.

"Ah Yue, please stay here. If Concubine Guo has any instructions, you can do it in time."

The little palace maid named "A Yue" has a stout figure and a fierce look on her face.

After listening to Lan Ying's instructions, he immediately responded and stood respectfully to one side.

Lan Ying turned around to go back to the main hall, but remembered something again.
Looking back at Jinzhan behind Zhiyu, he said:

"Ms. Guo Bin, you need to be pious when picking Buddha beans. To avoid being suspected of being opportunistic, why don't you, the palace maid, wait outside the Buddhist hall?"

Jinzhan immediately glared angrily,

"Aunt Lan Ying, you are going a little too far. You have already made people look at you. How can there be any opportunistic things happening?"

Lan Ying seemed to have been prepared for it. Without any hesitation, she opened her mouth to stop talking.
"Concubine Guo, I am aware that I am also thinking about your reputation, concubine Guo."

"The slaves here know your sincerity and do it yourself,"

But there are too many invisible people outside. If word spreads that you are not sincere in praying, let a slave take your place."

"Being known to the Emperor will also damage your image in the Emperor's heart, won't it?"

Every sentence is not only reasonable and well-founded, but also carries a faint threat——

If you don't do what she says, rumors will spread that she is not sincere in her prayers.

Zhiyu secretly said "good dog" and nodded.
"Jinzhan, you go and wait outside."

Anyway, with "Ah Yue" here, it would be impossible for Jinzhan to pick it up for her.

Jinzhan turned around three times a step and followed Lan Ying to the door.

Lan Ying asked the other maid guarding the door to keep an eye on Jinzhan, and then returned to the main hall with satisfaction.

With a "squeak" sound, the door was closed.

She was the only one left in the Buddhist hall, and Ah Yue, who was standing at the door to supervise her.

The nose is filled with the smell of burning sandalwood,
After taking a look at the Buddha statue,

Zhiyu leaned over and knelt down,

He muttered "Amitabha" in a low voice and knelt down to pick it up.

The flowerpot-soled shoes on my feet were crooked and very inconvenient.
Zhiyu lowered his head and glanced,
While picking up beans, I was thinking about an idea.
The movement of this hand couldn't help but slow down.

Ah Yue watched her kneeling on the ground without moving for a while, hesitated, stepped forward and reminded her in a low voice,
"Concubine Guo, please hurry up and pick it up."

This little palace lady has a soft voice and a gentle face. She looks very easy to scare.

Zhiyu suddenly had an idea,

Following Ah Yue's words, he stood up,
His feet moved slightly, as if he was twisted, and he was about to fall to the ground.
Ah Yue was startled and quickly stepped forward to help her, but as soon as she stretched out her hand,
Zhiyu had already collapsed,
"How dare you push me."

Zhiyu ignored the beans, sat on the ground, pointed at Ah Yue and said angrily.

Ah Yue was stunned and said in surprise: "I didn't push you."

"I'm just a little slow in my actions. You pushed me because you had the Queen Mother as your backer."

"This slave wants to help you because you are unsteady on your feet."

The two couldn't argue,

Hearing noise outside, Jinzhan wanted to come in and check.
But the other maid guarding the door,

Thinking that Ah Yue was following Grandma Lan Ying's instructions, it was difficult for her to know her joy.
He immediately stopped Jinzhan with words.

The pleasure in the palace continues,

"After all, I am the emperor's favorite concubine. No matter how much the Queen Mother embarrasses me, she is still the emperor's biological mother."

"If I cry to the emperor and the emperor becomes angry,"

Saying that, Zhiyu looked at Ah Yue with fierce eyes and continued meaningfully:

"Do you think the Queen Mother will protect you, a little palace maid, or will she push you out to bear the Emperor's wrath?"

"This this……"

Ah Yue didn't even have to think about it, she knew what the Queen Mother would do.

His face was so anxious that he almost cried, and his tone softened.
"Your Majesty, I didn't do this intentionally. I just want to help you."

"Your Majesty!" Ah Yue knelt down on the ground, "I beg your Majesty to spare my life."

When Zhiyu saw this, a smile flashed in his eyes and he spoke leisurely,

"I don't want to embarrass you, but the Queen Mother has some complaints about me being too favored."

"I deliberately use this method of picking Buddha beans to temper my temper."

Zhiyu gave full play to her ability to talk nonsense seriously and continued:

"Now that I have twisted my leg, it's not a big deal, but I didn't pick it up. I'm afraid the Queen Mother will think that I did it on purpose."

"So I have no choice but to push you out."

Ah Yue looked surprised,
I didn't expect that Zhiyu would be so calm and express what was in his heart.

Thinking of the consequences of what Zhiyu just said, Ah Yue gritted her teeth in fear and said:
"Slave, I can help you pick it up."

Hearing this, Zhiyu raised the corners of his lips imperceptibly and said coaxingly:
"This is my business, and I don't want you to be tired. In the end, you and I are both miserable people who have no control over our lives."

"It's better to just take the Buddha beans into the alms bowl without anyone else here."

"Then we pretend everything is business as usual,"

Ah Yue stopped talking and hesitated,
The two people outside the Buddhist hall seemed to hear that there was no movement inside.
The other maid guarding the door noticed something was wrong and immediately asked:
"Ah Yue, what are your orders from Concubine Guo?"

Zhiyu looked at Ah Yue who was struggling in front of her and said nothing.

The palace maid didn't get an answer for a while, she frowned and asked again:
"Ayue, what happened?"

As he spoke, he moved his steps and reached out to open the door.
Seeing the figure approaching the door, Ah Yue hurriedly stopped her.

"Sister Ah Yin, it's okay. Yes, it was me who urged you."

The action outside suddenly stopped.
"Ah Yue, please be careful. This is the first time for Concubine Guo to pick Buddha beans, so you should pay more attention."

"Yes, sister A Yin, don't worry, I will definitely watch it carefully."

After saying that, the outside returned to calm.
Ah Yue breathed a small sigh of relief,

When he looked up, he saw Zhiyu's expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.

His face couldn't help but turn red,
"Please also ask Concubine Guo to keep this secret for this slave."

After saying that, he picked up the alms bowl and collected the scattered beans on the ground.
Zhiyu smiled, "That's natural."

Then he relaxed and sat on the ground watching her movements.
