The Queen of Qing Dynasty is beautiful and kind

Chapter 73 Questioning
Tong Jiayue wanted to ask questions, which really made people feel a little uneasy.

But Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi adhered to the policy of soldiers coming to cover up water and earth, they still encouraged each other and went to Tong Gege together.

Inside the house, Tong Jiayue had not long eaten breakfast, and was sitting by the charcoal basin to warm up the fire.

The charcoal basin is full of high-quality red charcoal, without even a little smoke and dust.The room was warm, Tong Jiayue took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, and saw Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi coming over.

"Yesterday Xueda, I heard that you stayed overnight at Fahua Temple?"

Tong Jiayue leaned on the cushion, looking rather lazy.It's just that the look on his face is not very good, and obviously he doesn't seem to be in a good mood either.

"Yes." Gu Qinghuan nodded and said, "The snow is heavy and the mountain roads are difficult to walk, so I just stayed in Fahua Temple for one night."

"Although Fahua Temple is said to be effective, it's just that those meditation rooms are really not very good. It's not easy for you to stay for one night."

Tong Jiayue felt disgusted when she thought of the house that had been in disrepair for a long time.

She would not be willing to let her stay for one night, she might as well go down the mountain overnight.

Gu Qinghuan bowed her head, her attitude was still respectful.It's just that I don't quite know how to answer this question.

Saying that as slaves they have a place to live, it sounds like arguing.Go along with Tong Jiayue's words, as if they are equally delicate.

"How long have you two been with Aunt Yuehua?"

Tong Jiayue saw that the two little maids below were as clueless as a piece of wood, so she could only move her body and continue to ask.

"one Year."

Gu Qinghuan said: "In the past, I was only serving sweeping and other miscellaneous tasks in Chengqian Palace. Later, I was selected by my aunt, so I came to teach her."

"Then how long have you been in Chengqian Palace?" Tong Jiayue continued to ask.

"About four or five years."

Both Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi entered the palace when they were about seven or eight years old.Up to now, it has been four or five years.

"It's been so long..."

Tong Jiayue thought about it carefully, then straightened her body suddenly, and asked, "You two, do you know anything about my cousin?"

"... "

After hearing this, Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi secretly looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

Gu Qinghuan thought for a while, pulled La Yaqi, and answered first: "I have served in front of the master, so I probably know a thing or two."

"What does my cousin like?"

Tong Jiayue asked: "What do you usually like to do, what do you like to eat? Do you have a favorite color, favorite clothes to wear. And... what kind of girl do you like?"

Jackie almost choked.

Is this asking too bluntly?
"Fourth elder brother..."

Gu Qinghuan thought about it carefully, recalled the scenes when he saw Yinzhen, and said: "Si elder brother usually likes to read and write, and sometimes he will play chess with himself."

"As for the food, the fourth elder brother doesn't pick anything, he seems to eat everything. As for the colors and clothes he likes...they are all in line with the rules in the past, and it's hard to see if there is anything he likes."

"In terms of the girl I like..."

Gu Qinghuan paused, and met Tong Jiayue's eyes.

Tong Jiayue was listening attentively, seeing that Gu Qinghuan had reached the point, she hurriedly asked: "And then? You know?"

"The slave does not know."

Gu Qinghuan said: "Si elder brother goes back and forth between the Imperial College, the mansion and the palace on weekdays, so he probably hasn't seen any girls, right? Besides, Si elder brother doesn't like to talk to people."

"Will he like girls?"

"... "

Tong Jiayue was almost thrown backwards by Gu Qinghuan's words.

If you don't like girls, what do you like?man?This... why does this little maid look quite clever, but she is so dull in these matters!
She knows everything she said!

"... "

Gu Qinghuan looked innocent, looked at the resentful Tong Jiayue, and asked, "Tong Gege. Is it... Did the servant say something wrong?"

"Nothing is nothing!"

Tong Jiayue waved her hands a little irritably, and said, "You two go down first."

Nothing was asked!Really annoying!
"Yes."

Lu Qinghuan and Yaqi responded one after another, and turned around to leave.

"and many more."

Tong Jiayue stopped the two of them again, and added: "Both of you, go and see Aunt Yuehua. She seems to be better, so you can return to your cousin when you go back."

"Yes."

Feeling relieved, Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi let out a long breath when they went out and walked a long way to no one's place.

"I always feel that this Tong Gege is not playing cards according to common sense, and it really is like this."

Yaqi sighed: "Fortunately, you are smart and know how to pretend to be stupid. Otherwise... if we get jealous of that Tong Gege, it will be bad."

"Yeah." Gu Qinghuan secretly agreed, and said again: "But this Tong Gege doesn't look like a bad-hearted person. It's just... a bit willful."

Presumably, he took them away yesterday because he wanted to spend time with Aunt Yuehua alone, to see if he could get some more information about Yinzhen, right?
Unfortunately, it was obviously unsuccessful.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have caught them and questioned them after they came back.

"I think so."

Yaqi then said: "Now I only hope that she will stop fussing about the two of us. I hope Aunt Yuehua will get better soon, and then we can go back home soon!"

Originally, it was enough for Yaqi to worry about serving a cold-faced fourth elder brother.

It is only now that I realize that it is even more frightening to be in front of this moody Tong Gege!
While whispering, Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi soon arrived in front of Aunt Yuehua's room.

Aunt Yuehua was able to get up today, and she was sitting at the table reading a book.

Although his complexion was not very good, being able to get out of bed and walk around was a good sign anyway.

"You two are back?"

Seeing Gu Qinghuan and Yaqi entering the room, Aunt Yuehua said: "Tonggege has that kind of temper, don't take it to heart if you send you two to run around."

"Slaves will not."

Gu Qinghuan asked: "Auntie is feeling better?"

"It's much better." Aunt Yuehua said: "Tomorrow, you should go back when you have time. I'm already old, and I want to live in Zhuangzi because I want to take care of my life."

"It's not appropriate to disturb the fourth elder brother and the people of Tong's family like this."

"My aunt took care of the fourth elder brother to grow up, and served the former queen. The fourth elder brother also... wants to use up this kindness."

"There's nothing to do."

Aunt Yuehua said: "My whole life has been pretty smooth. In the future, I don't have much to think about. But you have a long life."

"Being by Master's side, while doing one's duty, one must also understand the truth that one prospers, one prospers, one loses all. Don't ruin the future by only focusing on some small interests in front of you."
