The maid is the queen

Chapter 27

I am a little anxious, he is like this, he has the right, so what can we do.

Xia Juntang, you must not leave me in the palace, he will not let me go.

Xia Juntang smiled softly: "Your Majesty, Zhiqiu is my favorite woman."

There was silence, and even the moon quietly hid in the clouds.

No matter what the reason is, anyway, I don't want to be in the palace.

But he smiled sinisterly: "What is liking?"

Xia Juntang said: "I like Zhiqiu, I want her to be my only princess."

These words, although there are many factors to deal with the emperor, but after listening to them, I feel very comfortable in my heart. As his princess, I would never hear words in my dreams.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the slightly trembling shadow beside the rockery. He must have said this for her.

"At the end of October, Juntang will be going to the northwest. Before that, Juntang still obeys his mother and concubine's wishes and establishes a concubine first to start a family."

"How long have you known each other?"

"Shortly, Juntang and Zhiqiu have only known each other for a few days, but they are in love with each other, and they have devoted their lives to each other at a glance."

I thought to myself, this Xia Juntang can be said to be a talented man who has read a lot of poetry and books.

The shoes embroidered with gold thread in front of him got a little impatient, moved a few times and said: "Yun Zhiqiu's status is low, how can he join my royal family?"

When I heard Xia Juntang, I still said kindly: "Brother, do you remember that Juntang was weak when he was a child, and a senior person said that Juntang probably had no marriage in this life, so it is better to travel around with him early. The mother and concubine were very worried, so the father said The order is given, as long as Juntang likes it, no matter if it is the daughter of a trafficker or a reckless gangster, there is no need to pay attention to the right family."

"It's rare, Brother Huang finally came up with this idea, I think the empress dowager must be very happy to know." That was the voice of gnashing teeth.

A proud person has no manners when he sees his prey, but let others pick it up.

However, these people were all accustomed to these hypocritical words, and they spoke in a wordless manner, as if they had no intention of doing so. Xia Juntang could easily cope with his embarrassment.

But I don't know why he and Concubine Mu didn't...

Don't think about these things about him, even I am deeply involved in this matter, everyone has everyone's story, and there are reasons.

He said elegantly and politely: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your fulfillment. Jun Tang is about to take Zhiqiu to see his mother and concubine. I wonder if we can go ahead so as not to worry about your Majesty and your concubine." When he said the last sentence, he must have felt pain in his heart.

The emperor didn't make things difficult for me anymore, I bowed three times habitually before getting up, and secretly glanced at him, my eyelids seemed to be twitching, and the fire in my eyes was burning quietly.

"Zhiqiu." Xia Juntang softly called my name and asked me to follow him out of the garden.

After walking out of the imperial concubine's palace, I let out a long sigh of relief, my heart almost jumped out of my chest.

Several father-in-laws followed us, thinking about it, they were afraid that we would turn around.

Helpless, we had no choice but to meet Concubine Yi, his concubine mother.

His eyes were full of helplessness and apology. I smiled and told him that it was unnecessary. I promised to help him.Anyway, the emperor caught him straight, and seeing one more person is nothing.

Walking through the shade of a magnolia tree, the thick leaves block the moonlight, and the faint fragrance in the black dyes the temples.

He walked a little slower, and then his hand touched mine, it was a little hot, making me want to retract my hand.

But he grabbed it and said in a low voice, "It's dark here, Zhiqiu."

I can't smell the fragrance of flowers, I can't see the darkness, I only know that a big hand is holding me and taking me to a place.

I didn't have any fear at all. I thought it would be nice if this darkness was very, very long.

I closed my eyes and felt a warm feeling from his hand to my senses.

It turns out that holding two hands together will really drive away all the loneliness.

Out of the shade of the magnolia tree, he didn't let go of my hand. I was so attached to this kind of temperature that I let him hold it. My palm was so hot that I was sweating. I didn't know if it was his or mine, but it was sticky .

The father-in-law following us is the eyeliner of cheapskates.

He doesn't have to say anything, I can understand him, as if I can understand his mind.

Concubine Yi's palace is a bit far away, I turned a few turns and passed a few palace corridors, and I got confused.

"It's here." He said softly, as if sighing and blaming himself.

It also made me a little nervous for no reason. I really don't know what kind of person Yi Taifei is. They are all high-ranking concubines. Will they be fierce, or... .

Feeling a little uneasy, this means that the palace where the concubine lives is far from the magnificence of the imperial concubine's palace. Even the lanterns are only hung sparsely, and the swaying in the autumn wind makes it even more gloomy.

He knocked on the door, and a maid came to open the door. Seeing him, she was a little surprised, and then she saluted and said: "Third Prince, this slave girl will report to the Empress Dowager." After speaking, she ran to the main hall in the middle.

After a while, an older woman came out with a lantern, and said with a joyful smile, "Your Majesty, you have worked so hard for coming into the palace so late to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager."

He smiled: "Clumsy aunt, are you making fun of me for being unfilial?"

"How could it be? My lord please hurry up."

He added in a low voice in my ear: "My title is Third Prince Jing, people in the palace all call me Prince Jing."

The lights in the main hall came on, and he put down my hand and knocked on the door: "Concubine Mu, Jun Tang has come to visit Concubine Mu."

"Come in." A gentle voice sounded.

I followed him in, and the lights inside were softly lit. An elegant and luxurious woman was sitting on the top seat, her hair was slightly messed up, and her tired face was still lingering.

She looked at Xia Juntang softly and lovingly with her eyes: "It's been so long since I came to see Concubine Mother, I really want Concubine Mother to miss you to death."

Xia Juntang smiled guiltily: "My concubine has already slept and got up in a hurry. Next time Juntang wants to come, it must be earlier."

"Is it because the concubine mother said those words, you feel..." She choked up a little, her eyes turned red, and she said earnestly: "Concubine mother is for your own good, Juntang, concubine mother only has you as the emperor."

"Juntang naturally knows that the mother and concubine are doing it for the good of the child, and Juntang knows it well." He blamed himself a little.

Then she turned to look at me and said, "Concubine Mu, this is Zhiqiu, Yun Zhiqiu."

I also lowered my head to salute: "Minister Yun Zhiqiu, I have seen the empress dowager."

"Okay, okay." After saying hello three times in a row, Concubine Yi was a little excited, and with the help of the palace maid, she stepped forward to help me up: "Yun Zhiqiu, this name sounds really nice!"

I raised my head and let her watch. Her eyes were a little excited and relieved, and she seemed to look at me with the eyes of a daughter: "Zhiqiu, how old are you this year and where do you live? How are your parents?"

My eyes turned red, and I said sadly, "My parents are no longer by my side."

"Don't cry, good boy." She smiled lovingly, looked at me carefully and said, "That's great, poor aunt, go and get my phoenix jade."

"Yes." The maid immediately turned around.

After a while, she brought white jade and she fortified it for me, but I refused to accept it, so I shook my head: "Ms. Taifei, this is too precious."

The color of the phoenix jade is so beautiful, with a trace of warmth and translucence in the candlelight, it looks like a priceless thing.

"Miss Yun, just accept it, this is the wish of the concubine." The clumsy girl on the side also wiped away tears with red eyes.

I think, I know why they are so moved.

Xia Juntang fell in love with someone she couldn't like, and they knew it, and my appearance now made them happy.

I turned to look at him, everyone was happy, but he wanted to suppress the pain of parting in his heart.

He smiled at me softly: "Zhiqiu, concubine mother likes you, so just accept it!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

"Hehe, you're so handsome, I won't be called Empress Dowager from now on." She smiled and said, "Son, who else is there in your family?"

Xia Juntang came over and supported me on the shoulder: "Concubine Mother, she is the only one in Zhiqiu's family. Although she is not a child of an aristocratic family, Zhiqiu is a very talented and smart woman who can play the piano well."

"The status is high or low, so what can I do? The concubine mother is not from a poor family." When she looked at me, she felt more love: "Zhiqiu was born graceful and delicate, dignified and beautiful. I like it, you are going to go to the northwest in October, and you want to go to the palace with Zhiqiu to accompany your mother and concubine more often." She smiled and sighed, but also a little relieved.

Looking at me, it seems that everything is not enough.

She just regarded me as Xia Juntang's concubine. I like this concubine. I am not blessed to be a concubine, but the kindness of the concubine makes me very fond of it.

This scene may be getting longer and longer, but I don't hate it.

She was asking me again what tunes she would play, and then looked at me with bright eyes and admiration like a child, and then said, "Zhiqiu, you must play it for me!" I can't wait to ask someone to get the piano.

Xia Juntang stopped her: "My concubine is like this, and there will still be time to meet each other in the future. If my concubine wants to hear Qiu playing the piano, she must first take care of her body, and don't worry about anything else."

"Yeah." Like a child, she nodded obediently, and then looked at me with a smile again.

When Xia Juntang took me out of the palace, she still looked at me with some reluctance, and said helplessly, "Zhiqiu, you must always enter the palace."

"Concubine Mu, why do I think she is your own?" He pouted his mouth aggrievedly to make her happy: "Well, if Concubine Mu doesn't go to rest, she won't bring Zhiqiu in to see you in a few days."

She stood up and asked Zhuogu to help her in to rest, then turned her head and smiled at me, her eyes were full of gratitude.

It was thanks to me that I pulled Xia Juntang out of the abyss.

I feel a little sorry for the hearts of parents in the world. The concubine must have worried a lot for him. It's rare that Xia Juntang is still filial and didn't fall into it again and again.

Quietly leaving the palace, the dark white magnolia was still fragrant and quiet, he held my hand again, cleared his throat and said, "Zhiqiu..."

I interrupted him and said softly: "There is no need to say anything, Xia Juntang, I will enter the palace again."

Because of the hope in Taifei's eyes, I always feel like seeing my mother when I see her.

"Thank you," he rustled.

In the dark, I looked at him unscrupulously, and I thought, how much pressure can he bear?
If you want to love but don't give in to love, you have to deal with many people with a smile.
