Love on the Pillow: Pampering the Unscrupulous Queen

Chapter 6
Su Qing fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling as if someone beside her was gently stroking her eyebrows, she couldn't help frowning and turned her head to the side, but she still didn't avoid the slightly cold hand.

"Your Majesty, stop making trouble." Su Qing muttered in a half-dream and half-awake state, and pushed the hand away, and sure enough, the hand stopped suddenly.

A man with a handsome face like a god was sitting by the bed, looking at Su Qing who was lying sideways on the bed with a suspicious expression. After a long time, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, and put his hand on Su Qing's side face as if he had found a treasure. , as if touching the most precious treasure in the world.

The man looked at Su Qing by the bed for a long time before leaning over and kissing Su Qing's forehead as light as a feather.

Su Qing seemed to feel something in the dream, and suddenly opened her eyes: "Your Majesty?"

But only the shadow of the moon swaying outside the window, the room is full of silence.

Hearing the sound, Shiqin from the outside immediately entered the room with a lamp, lit the candles in the room, and asked worriedly: "Miss, what's the matter? Is it a nightmare?"

Su Qing looked at the empty room and didn't answer. This is not the magnificent Fengyi Palace in the dream, and there is no other man on the bed, but why did she feel a faint sense of loss when she realized that it was all a dream.

"Ah, it's raining outside." Shi Qin saw through the window that it was starting to rain, and went to close the window that was blowing back and forth in the wind, "Anxi is always careless in doing things, and she forgets at night." Close the window, if the young lady is frozen, how can she bear it?"

Looking back, she saw that Su Qing was still sitting on the bed with a sense of loss, she walked over to lift Jin Bei up, and asked softly, "Miss, would you like some hot tea?"

Su Qing nodded slightly, and Shi Qin immediately went to the outside room and brought in the copper pot that had been sitting on the stove, and poured a cup of hot tea for Su Qing.

Holding the thin porcelain cup that was slightly hot, Su Qing waved her hand to signal Shiqin to step back, while she leaned against the head of the bed, watching the rising smoke without blinking, recalling the dream just now.

Benzoin was lit in the room, which could help people fall asleep. The cool fragrance spread in the room bit by bit, but it couldn't shake Su Qing's sleepiness at all.

She looked at her eyebrows and eyes reflected on the water in the glass with some irony, she was really stubborn.He said he didn't love her anymore, but when he dreamed about that person, his heart still ached.

What a bitch.

With a sneer, she slowly put the cup in her hand on the table next to her, lay down on her side, curled up and closed her eyes, listening to the sound of the fine rain outside the window.

After a long time, a crystal liquid overflowed from the corner of her eyes, and silently seeped into the soft Shu embroidery pillow.

The next day, Su Qing was woken up by Shi Shu when the sky was light.

Several little girls came in with hot water towels and lined up in the room.

"Miss, you have to enter the palace to see the empress dowager today, so you need to get up early." The servant helped Su Qing to get up and wash up.

Su Qing sat down in front of the mahogany dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror with a tired look.

Shi Qin came in, waved away the little girls in the room, saw that everyone had gone away, then took out a rhinoceros horn comb from the dowry box, and said in a low voice while arranging Su Qing's long hair: " Miss, after the little girl was sent back by Bizhu yesterday, Bizhu asked the concierge to go outside to find a doctor. The doctor prescribed medicine for that girl, but someone threw away the little girl's medicine."

Su Qing narrowed her peach blossom eyes slightly, and asked softly, "Who is it?"

"It's An He, the girl next to the second lady." Shi Qin replied, "This girl looks young, but she is cruel to bully the little girl next to her. If it wasn't for me, I asked someone to bring in an old doctor to give that little girl I'm afraid the little girl won't be able to survive today."

"Hmph, I really underestimated Su Xuerou." Su Qing sneered.

The servant next to him was choosing clothes for Su Qing to enter the palace, and he looked at the two of them in bewilderment: "Miss, Shiqin, what kind of charades are you playing?"

Shi Qin then told her about the matter, and Shi Shu was so angry that her pretty face flushed red: "This little bastard deliberately refused to let that little girl take medicine, if she consumed that little girl to death, wouldn't it be rumored that our lady Has the reputation of being mean and inferior? No, this matter can’t just be left alone!”

Su Qing smiled lightly: "Of course I won't just let it go like this. No one can figure it out yet and I can still get out! It's just that you should keep quiet about this matter, especially Shishu. Your temper that explodes at the slightest bit is not good." It's time to change. I will naturally clean them up later."

The waiter breathed a sigh of relief, and then picked out a goose yellow three-gold dress with embroidered flowers and phoenix fairy, and a bright yellow golden flower waist: "Miss, this dress is made by the madam, what do you think?" How about it?"

"Change to this more solemn one." Shi Qin next to him pointed to the water blue Shu brocade long dress with a moon-white double-breasted dark pattern on it. Yes, it can also show our lady's respect to the empress dowager."

"Sure enough." Shi Shu looked at it, and felt that Shi Qin's opinion was good.

Su Qing glanced over and couldn't help being slightly startled.Will history really move forward a little bit according to the original track?She remembered that when she first entered the palace, she also wore this skirt and the emerald jade headband.

After dressing up, it's almost time.

A small soft sedan carried Su Qing to the gate of the General's Mansion. A bright yellow double carriage was parked at the gate, with a red shaft and yellow curtains. Behind the carriage were a dozen Imperial Guards wearing flying fish suits.

A white-faced and beardless man saw Shi Qin and Shi Shu helping Su Qing out of the sedan chair, immediately put a red footstool beside the carriage, and respectfully said: "Miss Su, please get in the carriage."

Su Qing nodded slightly at the man, and got into the carriage with the help of Shi Qin, and the servant next to him immediately stuffed a few heavy gold lockets into the man's hand, and said with a slight smile: "Elder-in-law, you have worked hard!" .”

The father-in-law was naturally happy when he received the reward: "It is our family's blessing to be able to run errands for Miss Su. Please, the empress dowager is already waiting in the palace."

The interior of the carriage is very spacious, with cushions covered with goose feathers and the surface sewn with brocade.There are also small tables fixed to the side walls with teacup refreshments on them.

The tabletop is designed very delicately, and the teacup can be fixed on the tabletop without letting the tea in the cup spill out.The driver is also the old-fashioned way in the palace, fast and steady.

The small plates of snacks on the table were also made with care, they were exquisite and fragrant, and there were silver forks and silver spoons beside them, Su Qing looked at them but had no appetite.

The carriage drove for nearly half an hour, stopped for a moment at the gate of the palace, and then continued to drive into the palace.

"Miss, that seems to be the carriage of Prime Minister Wang's family." Suddenly, the servant glanced at another carriage outside through the gap in the window, and said to Su Qing in a low voice.

Shi Qin also leaned over to take a look and said: "The Empress Dowager has summoned our wife alone yesterday, if we summon our young lady alone today, there will always be gossip. If we want to find more noble daughters from aristocratic families, there is no need to attract people Gossiping. But you see, the prime minister’s family sent people to the palace in their own carriage, and our lady was brought in by the palace’s carriage, so anyone with a discerning eye will always know who wins and who loses.”

Su Qing glanced at the two girls indifferently: "After entering the palace, don't speak nonsense."

Shi Qin smiled: "It's the servant who made a slip of the tongue."

The waiter next to him stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.
