The maid is the queen

Chapter 71
He sat down and took a sip of tea before saying: "Zhiqiu, that guard is really interesting, he said he brought you a cat, how did I not know when you liked cats?"

The squinting eyes were full of questioning, the lips were raised high but the smile couldn't reach the depths of the eyes.

I didn't know what was wrong, so I said cautiously: "I really like cats, Your Majesty."

"You tell me, I will definitely ask someone to find a better one for you, but since you have made an appointment with him, I will not blame you, but Zhiqiu, don't rely on me in the palace." I don't know the slightest bit of palace rules about your favor, as a talented person, you must know your own identity, how can you communicate with the guards in the palace in private."

I was startled, the guard and the cat, could it be Ayan?

"Why, aren't you talking to him?" He raised his brows and stared brightly.

I laughed: "Why not? This cat is so beautiful. He said he would give me a cat. He really kept his word."

Putting the cat down, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He also said: "If you like plum blossoms in the future, don't fold them yourself. If you do some things by yourself, you will lose your status."

"Yes." I answered him respectfully.I became more and more certain in my heart, it must be Ayan, but what about Xia Juntang?Thinking about it, now is not the time to think about those things, so I cheered up and went to his side and said: "Recently, I have been staying in the palace for a long time, so I went out for a walk. Today I am listening to an opera and picking plum blossoms. The body is really tired."

He looked up at me with a half-smile, and mocked lightly: "The difference between before and after pregnancy is really big, are you really tired?"

I hate his tone of voice, but I nodded softly: "Yes, I'm very tired, my back is sore."

He frowned, and said with a straight face: "Then Zhiqiu, you should take a good rest."

The silence was heavy, he looked at the cat and said, "How can I say that I would be happier if I had a kitten?"

This sentence must have been said by A Yan, he has given me such a big trouble, if I can't do this little thing, I am really too stupid.

She smiled shallowly: "Didn't you call me a lazy cat, Your Majesty? I'll find a kitten for you."

He took my hand and let me sit on his feet. Although there were more than ten fathers-in-law and court ladies in the main room, although they all pretended not to see them, they made me blush with shame. His cold hands habitually rubbed My cheeks did not bring me warmth. "Heh, you lazy cat, Zhiqiu, do you like me?"

"happiness……"

Before the words "Happy" came out, I asked him to cover my lips with his fingers, and his crimson thin lips showed a sinister smile: "Before you say it, you have to think about it."

Then why do you still ask, I know you don't believe it at all, you know that sooner or later I will know that Xia Juntang was not injured at all, but you still like to preemptively strike like this.

Actually, actually, I don't think about anything anymore, I just want to live my life with you, I don't think about anything else but my children.

But you not only want to arrest Xia Juntang and me, we know very well in our hearts that we are already on guard against each other.

I will not fight, I will not fight with you, I will still smile at you, what do you want?What do you want?

"I like it." In his meaningful eyes, I finally said it with a smile.

He smiled lightly, sighed a few times, looked at me and shook his head, then pulled me into his chest: "You women, you always lie like this, you always say what you say, and you say you like me." It's just talking." Standing up, he glanced at the white cat and said, "You can keep this cat, don't you want to make it a dog."

I sighed and half-dedicated to send him off, watching him walk away coldly, no matter who helped me get over that incident, he, who was suspicious, would never believe me.

When you were overbearing, did you ever think that the twisted melon is not sweet?

After sending the maid down, I sat alone on the fluffy carpet, but I felt all sorts of feelings rushing up in my heart. I couldn't help but wonder if he was the one who caught Xia Juntang, would he still be so calm, even if it was a fake smile? .

The kitten was walking around on my feet, meowing at me with its head up. Under the bright firelight, I saw its two round eyes hidden in the fluffy white fur, so cute.

Smiled lightly and patted its head, thanking Ayan in his heart, he couldn't say anything, how many people in this palace watched my every word and deed with their ears and eyes wide open!

He never believed me, and the so-called doting really didn't touch me.

This night, I couldn't sleep at all, I thought about the smile on his face, the unfathomable look on his face, I thought that we might never go back to the past where you doted on me, It was so fake that he didn't want to pretend anymore.

I followed the cat's fur, and it nestled and dozed beside me obediently. The fireworks outside on New Year's Eve were incomparably gorgeous, lighting up the dark sky, but not my heart.

I don't deny that Xia Juntang's return, and the emperor's deception to me, make me hate and make me sour and powerless.

The bright flowers outside the window bloomed and then dimmed. Today's Zhenghua Palace is quiet, and his absence also took away the noise and bustle.

The embroidered tiger handkerchief was still lying quietly in the embroidered basket, and the sleepy eyes seemed a little wronged.

I really shouldn't have embroidered, huh, huh.

I blow out the candle and go to bed, he won't come back tonight.

What does it matter?Anyway, if it wasn't for the child, I definitely wouldn't be by his side. I have no feelings, and I can pet whoever he likes, and I don't have too much affection, let alone break my heart.

I thought so, but I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Yun Zhiqiu, oh Yun Zhiqiu, can you go back to the old you?Why do you want to think about him? In your heart, he is simply an insignificant person who cannot affect your mind.

Commanding himself, counting the sheep, one sheep, two sheep, three sheep, until he counted to the point where he didn't know how many.

No matter how many reasons I think about, no amount of reasoning can make me forget him.

I really want to cry, why do I still have him in my heart, and I still pass by his cold and angry face, have I integrated into him in my false obedience and gentleness, do I have him in my heart.

Why am I thinking, what can I do to keep him from getting angry? Should I quietly ask the maid to give him the embroidered handkerchief, or play a cheerful tune to let him show off, and I am reviewing whether what I said is correct. Where did he get angry again.

Suddenly I heard footsteps outside the window. I thought it was the father-in-law passing by the corridor, but unexpectedly they stopped in front of my window. There were still lanterns hanging on the corridor, reflecting the tall light and shadow on the tall white door. on the paper window.

I stared at him blankly, and suddenly felt some inexplicable joy in my heart.

Although he left in a huff, he still came here in the middle of the night.

The maid who was watching the night went up to greet him, entered to salute him, and his low voice came in: "Is this man asleep?"

The maid also said softly: "Cai Ren has already fallen asleep, Your Majesty."

"Never go out again?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Cai Ren has never been out of the small pavilion."

Why do you ask me like this, watching his figure move, followed by the door creaking softly, I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

He came in during the middle of the day, and stood by the bed without even taking off his clothes. He made me feel my face was burning. He lay beside me with all his clothes on, pulling out the long hair on the side of my face and sighing, " Sleeping so soundly, you are a heartless woman."

Who said I was heartless, I also hated myself, why didn't I fall asleep, why did I miss him.

He took out my hand and bit his fingers lightly. I held back the slight pain, but he still exerted force, as if he insisted on waking me up.

Opening his eyes to look at him, he had a smile on his face: "Zhiqiu."

"Didn't the emperor leave?" I still hated him in my heart.

But he seemed to be a different person, holding my hand lightly: "Angry? I spoke a little harshly, no, I will come to accompany you in the middle of the night."

"Who wants you to accompany me." I pushed him.

"I really want to fight with you. I have never won you before." He sighed and hugged me tightly: "I thought you were talking to Xia Juntang. You want to see each other. When did I say that you are not allowed?" Seeing him, it's just that I hate sneaking around, so there's nothing shameful about it."

He gave a step, can I really not go down?

I don't want to quarrel with him, and I don't want to have a cold war. After all, when there is only one person left, I will calmly think about the child. When he is angry, his thoughts even make me feel sour.

With one more person by my side, my mood really goes up and down, changing really fast.

Occasionally, the thin fireworks on the window paper can be seen to be somewhat beautiful and delicate.

"I'm nervous about you, sometimes I can't help but lose my temper." He said in a low voice.

I turned my face to look at him, and gently stroked his face with my hand: "I don't need to explain to you, I really don't want anything to happen, he has become the past, and I am your talent." Everything, Can no longer be changed.

It was also the first time I talked about Xia Juntang with him, he smiled brilliantly, took my finger and bit it lightly: "It's really enough to make me jealous."

I don't know when, I have gotten used to his body temperature and his embrace.

In the second half of the night, unlike the first half of the night, I couldn't fall asleep. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, and it was dawn when I fell asleep.

In the morning, I smelled the refreshing fragrance, thinking that I had dreamed of plum trees, but when I opened my eyes, I saw red plums blooming beautifully, everywhere in the room, and the slight snow-cold air refreshed my mind Cool.

The palace maid smiled and said: "Master Cairen, the emperor asked the father-in-law to fold plum blossoms in the morning, saying that Master Cairen likes plum blossoms."

"Where's the emperor?" I asked softly.

The maid said: "I'm enjoying tea leisurely in the corridor."

Even the bead flowers on the hair ornaments have changed, they are all bright red plum blossoms, and when I put light powder on my face, I feel that the whole person is shining brightly.

Tiptoeing out, he was sitting on a soft chair, leisurely drinking steaming tea, holding a yellow and white handkerchief in one hand, in the wind blowing in the scent of winter jasmine flowers. Wiping his lips, he seemed to be in a good mood, talking to Eunuch Yang.

When I got closer, the handkerchief looked familiar, the yellow thing, wasn't that the little tiger I embroidered?
"The emperor's handkerchief is really beautifully embroidered."
