The maid is the queen

Chapter 32 Gifts (2)

I didn't answer, the person who answered came from the door, his delicate voice sounded very elegant.

We looked up and saw Concubine Mu.

She looked straight at me, as if she wanted to see through me, with a kind of naked hatred and jealousy.

Concubine Yi was a little nervous, she held my hand tightly with her fingers, and said lightly: "Why is Mu Guifei coming to my concubine's place when you have time? This small place is really not big enough to welcome the imperial concubine, Zhiqiu, this is Concubine, please salute quickly."

She is still cold and distant towards Concubine Mu Gui, but treats me like her own child.

I think I'm really lucky to have her treat me so well.

She lowered her head and saluted: "Concubine Mu Gui, Empress Jin'an."

Looking up at her, I have no choice but to admire Concubine Mu tonight. Her emerald green dress is dotted with her white jade-like skin. Her black hair is tied into a simple bun, adorned only with a pearl pendant. Her facial features are indifferent but beautiful, a pair of black jade-like eyes are calm and full of autumn water, and her slender waist is tied with a light pink belt, which looks even more unbearable, how beautiful it is.

Such a pure but beautiful beauty, how can it not make people lose their souls? Grand Concubine Yi is also a very indifferent person. If she is not Concubine Mu, Concubine Yi will definitely like her very much.

Unfortunately, she is the emperor's concubine, a person whom no one can love except the emperor.

I'm not afraid of her beauty and her momentum today, nor do I envy her for being prettier than me, because I know Xia Juntang will never be with her.

Their identity controls everything.

She looked at me with dark pupils, and smiled faintly: "You don't need to be too polite, Yun Zhiqiu's name is in the palace, but it's like thunder, even the emperor has a deep impression of you."

Concubine Yi also smiled faintly: "Really? That's true, the emperor also knows about Zhiqiu and Juntang."

"The concubine is quite protective of Yun Zhiqiu."

"Don't hide it from your concubine, Zhiqiu will soon become my concubine's daughter-in-law. Zhiqiu doesn't understand many things, so this concubine has to teach me one or two things."

Their words carried a sharp comparison.

I could understand, but I was wise enough not to say anything.

She still comes, she is not reconciled, alas, why are women not reconciled when they are in love?

"Really?" She raised her eyes, filled with soreness and pain, and then smiled again: "Today is Empress Dowager's birthday, I have prepared a small gift for her."

She personally took a beautiful brocade box from the maid of honor, opened it and wrapped something in silk.

She held it up with her own hands, and said sincerely: "Empress Dowager, this is the Prajna Heart Sutra that I copied myself. I know Empress Dowager likes to recite scriptures and Buddha, but the words on the scriptures are too small, and reading too much will hurt your eyes. I copied a copy, and if it is not a respect, please accept it with a smile."

She was quite polite to the concubine.

After all, Xia Juntang still cared about her mother and concubine very much.

"But it must be much inferior to the gift Miss Yun prepared for the concubine." She blinked her long eyelashes and smiled at me.

I'm a little ashamed, I didn't prepare anything today.

Tonight's Concubine Mu seems to be different from what I have seen before.That kind of weakness and delicateness seems to have become stronger.

Concubine Yi was afraid that I might misunderstand something, so she took the scriptures indifferently and asked Zhuo Gu to put them away: "Your concubine is too polite."

He looked at me again and said with a smile: "The gift that Zhiqiu brought to my concubine is the best and the best."

"Yes." Concubine Mu smiled bitterly: "How can I compare to Miss Yun? Today, I am more like me in that year, but now, someone has replaced that me."

Concubine Yi looked cautious, and said somewhat coldly: "Your Majesty, don't say the wrong thing."

"Am I wrong?" She smiled mockingly, pointing at me with one hand: "She is my shadow."

"I'm not." I smiled at her: "I'm me, not you."

"You are, you are all lying to my concubine." She gritted her teeth, as if she wanted to cry.

"The imperial concubine, today is the birthday of the imperial concubine." Don't be disappointed.

I know that I am not qualified to say anything about their past, and their status is so noble, it is not my turn to say anything.

I sympathize with Concubine Mu, but what can I do?Could it be that fighting like this will make Xia Juntang's feelings for you the same as before?

But, don't be so selfish, he still has family members, and he will let you go only because he really loves you.

"Yun Zhiqiu, do you know his past?" She raised her eyes to look at me, her eyes were full of provocation and jealousy.

A wounded woman, is there no sense at all?
I nodded: "Speak lightly, I know, so I want to be by his side."

She laughed, seeing me laugh more and more like Feng You, and said with some hatred: "Impossible, he said that I will always be the only one in his heart."

"Mu Guifei, you're being rude, come and take Mu Guifei home." The empress dowager called with a straight face.

Concubine Mu Gui didn't say anything more, she gave me a meaningful look and left.

"Don't take her words to heart. In fact, there are some things that can never be determined." Concubine Yi gave a long sigh.

Those pasts only belong to the past. I am not a person who wants to know everything clearly.

Eating with Concubine Yi, she continued to bring me food, which was considered a good time.

"Do you mind his past?" she asked me softly.

I smiled: "No, I have no time for his past, and he can only walk his own way in the future." No one can vent his way of life, even if Xia Juntang is indifferent to fame and fortune, he still has his own pursuit.

Wouldn't it be awkward if you followed the path requested by others?

She was a little moved: "Over the years, I have heard this sentence, and it is also the most down-to-earth. What I like the most is your down-to-earth temperament. You are neither arrogant nor irritable, calm and easy-going, but you have your own ideas. In the northwest, maybe It is not as prosperous as the capital city, but I also know that you, a child, will not pursue any fame and enjoyment, the sky there should be bluer and bigger, and when I come to see my mother and concubine again, I hope to bring my grandson with me."

I blushed so embarrassingly that I took her hand and shook it, telling her to stop talking.

"Still ashamed, hehe, Zhiqiu, go to the palace more often to accompany mother and concubine."

"Hmm." I responded lightly.

Even if I pretend to play with Xia Juntang, I don't want to hurt this kind and gentle Concubine Yi.

I haven't known Xia Juntang for long, but I have a certainty in my heart that he is serious about me.

After eating and chatting for a while, a father-in-law came and said that the emperor and the third prince were drunk and sent me over.

I'm a little confused, what's the use of calling me over when they're drunk?But the emperor's decree, how can we ask more questions?
Maybe they want me to take the Third Prince out of the palace together, alas, it's too overwhelming in the palace, Northwest is really worth looking forward to.

Concubine Yi couldn't keep me anymore, so I followed my father-in-law to the front palace.

I have never been to these places, but I didn't know that my father-in-law would deceive people, and the imperial decree was actually false.

Passing through a dark place, I don't know what kind of flowers are planted. It has a very special fragrance, which penetrates deep into the bone marrow and captivates all perceptions.

I took a few deep breaths, and the pressure in my heart seemed to drift away with my breath.

I heard my father-in-law say, "Miss Yun, be careful not to fall."

I thought how could I fall?I'm not a weak person who will fall when the wind blows, but my steps are a bit faltering.

On that day of that year, that month, there used to be a pair of sweet people, enjoying the love bestowed by God.

The world is going through a lot of trouble, and the fate is not satisfactory in the end.

My mind was also a little fluttering, looking at Concubine Mu's stunning face, I seemed to see me standing behind her, she had also stood where I am now.

But now it's like flooding water, it's hard to put it away.

"Zhiqiu, I'll take you to find him." She smiled softly.

I walked a little staggeringly, I didn't know what I was going to say, my tongue was like a knot, my heart was turning over the stars, trying to grab something, but I couldn't grab anything.

The two maids walked with me on their arms, and all the strength in my body seemed to be taken away. I couldn't even move, so I had to rely on the maids to half-drag and half-support me to walk outside.

Alas, what's the matter, what's the matter, I hate this feeling of powerlessness and lightness.

"Zhiqiu, are you feeling well?" Concubine Mu Gui asked me softly.

I want to answer her question, but why do I just giggle smirking, my mind exudes a kind of excitement, I always want to laugh, I still want to laugh.

Bypassing the long palace corridor, there are gusts of cool wind blowing in front of you, and the silver waves on the lake are bathed in the moonlight, how brilliant it is.

Far away, there was also a group of people leaving with lanterns, and the lights shone like a dream.

I don't know how I came to him, there was him, Zhang Xibao, and a banquet, I opened my eyes and eagerly looked for Xia Juntang, isn't it here to drink?Why are people missing?
"Your Majesty." Concubine Mu smiled and saluted, "Why did the banquet end so quickly, just now I just happened to meet Zhiqiu's sister coming out of the Ranxiang Garden, and I wanted to pay respects to the Third Prince, so the concubine brought Zhiqiu's sister over. "

Zhang Xibao was dressed in a dark red dress, reflecting his muscles like jade, and his facial features became more and more gorgeous. Looking at something bright and incomparable under the moonlight, he stood up and saluted Concubine Mu, and then said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the imperial concubine came here. The third prince just left .”

Concubine Mu Gui looked at me, sighed a little, and said with a smile in her eyes: "The palace says it's not big, it's not small. It takes time to find someone. If you don't know, Sister Qiu, let's sit down and wait for a while, and respect the third prince." I can’t find you in the Concubine’s Palace, so I will definitely come here, besides, the moonlight is so beautiful, I heard that sister Zhiqiu’s qin is full of the capital, I wonder if the emperor will allow my concubine to listen to it.”

I just looked at whoever she talked about, as if someone had a grudge against me, but I was still a little drunk and smiled with my mouth open.As soon as I came, he stared at me, his burning eyes were so deep and untouchable.

Hearing what the imperial concubine said, he showed a deep smile, raised his wine glass and toasted me: "Why not."

My father-in-law brought the piano, but I didn't have the brains to play it. I lay on the piano and stroked it gently with my fingers, and smiled silly.
