Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 58
The evening wind was still blowing, and the candle in front of Que Ruoyu's bed was always bright and sometimes dark.She looked at Cuizhu who had completely fallen asleep, and could only sigh helplessly.There was the sound of hula hula outside the window.Que Ruoyu's fingers turned red from the cold, she looked down at her work, feeling a little sad in her heart.I don't know if this lamp, which is very popular in the world today, will be sought after?

She let out a breath and blew out the candles on the table.

She tiptoed onto the bed.At this time, she heard the sound of Cuizhu's sound asleep.She really didn't expect Cuizhu to sleep so sweetly, she patted Cuizhu's cheek lightly.

She curled up in the bed.At this time Cuizhu suddenly woke up.She looked at Que Ruoyu beside her.She asked in a daze, "Are the palace lanterns ready?" She asked softly, with a strong nasal voice in her tone.

Que Ruoyu smiled faintly, "Of course it's done, otherwise how could I come to sleep on the bed?"
"Que Ruoyu, the Yuhe in Hanyun Palace is really powerful. The palace lanterns you designed are largely unapproved by the people in Shangzhu Bureau. So, you should not waste your energy. Take this time to rest a lot Why not do it?" Cuizhu said lightly.As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around.

Then, that lovely woman fell asleep soundly.

Que Ruoyu was taken aback.No matter what, she has to work hard once.However, Yuhe from Hanyun Palace was rumored to be so miraculous, she really wanted to see it.Perhaps, the technology of making palace lanterns in ancient times is indeed very good.

As the night got darker, Que Ruoyu took a deep breath and fell asleep.

"Que Ruoyu, why don't you get up, Que Ruoyu? The exam at the Shang Dormitory Bureau has already started. If you don't go now, you will definitely be disqualified." Cui Zhu said anxiously.Thin beads of sweat appeared on her crimson little face.It is still rare to see in such a big winter.

"What time is it now?" Que Ruoyu exclaimed, she slept so late last night that she forgot such an important matter.She threw off the quilt suddenly.

"It's just past noon." Cuizhu said quietly.

For this competition, Aunt Liu, who is still sleeping, is scheduled for noon.Those who want to hand in the manuscript before noon must hand in the manuscript.Don't wait for the time.However, it was past noon now.I don't know if Que Ruoyu can hand it in.

Cui Zhu looked at the woman who refused to run, feeling a little helpless.

"I knew the noble atmosphere of the palace lantern you designed. I would have woken you up earlier. I don't know if you can make it now?" Cuizhu said with some enthusiasm.Her eyes kept looking at the place Que Ruoyu left.Just before noon, Cuizhu was bored looking at the design drawings on the table.

She looked at the drawing that was being pressed by Que Ruoyu, and she was a little curious in her heart.Cuizhu thought about what kind of drawings Que needed to design last night?She gently took out the drawing.

After seeing it, Cui Zhu was shocked.She had never seen such a beautiful palace lantern, layered on top of each other, with beautiful decorations on it.She was speechless in astonishment.She had also seen the work of the woman in Hanyun Palace. Although it was beautiful, it was no different from ordinary palace lanterns.The only difference is that Yu He has more eyes than other women.Her drawings will incorporate several fresh elements.

However, she just changed the soup but not the medicine.

Cui Zhu became anxious.She knew that Que Ruoyu went to bed very late last night.So she wanted Que Ruoyu to rest well.

She had originally thought that Que Ruoyu would not be able to pass.Therefore, the result is the same whether you call her or not.However, after she saw that work, she completely changed her mind.

At this moment, her whole heart ached.Looking at the newly grown grass in the yard, she felt excited.

The nights are naturally cold now, but the days are much warmer.Winter begins to slowly transition to spring.

Que Ruoyu trotted all the way, but she hoped that she could make it there.

There is still a natural bustling scene in the dormitory.Panting heavily, Que Ruoyu finally came to the door.

She grabbed a maid who just came out, "Is it over?" She asked anxiously.There was a thin layer of water droplets on her forehead.

"Not yet? But, it's coming soon. Aunt Liu, the invigilator, was very excited after seeing Hanyun Gong Yuhe's work. The invigilator just looked at the following works in that way. So far, 20 people have been eliminated. There are many. I don’t know anyone whose works in the palace can be compared with Yu He’s works."
Que Ruoyu let go of the maid's hand.

At this moment, she just wanted to run to Shang's palace as soon as possible.Although she doesn't know what Yuhe's work looks like, she still wants to seize this opportunity to give it a try.In any case, there is hope only if you work hard.

She looked at the palace that was close at hand, and ran over quickly.

"No, no." Aunt Liu stood in front of those maids, she repeated the words in her mouth over and over again.In short, none of the following works made her stop.

Aunt Liu rubbed her forehead, showing a very sleepy state.It seems that she has given up any hope for her next works.She just reads it routinely now.

Yu He, standing on the far right, looked arrogant.She raised her head high and smiled brightly.

Que Ruoyu was standing by the door, but was blocked by a first-class court lady.

"What are you doing here?" The first-class maid gave Que Ruoyu a contemptuous look.

Although Que Ruoyu is now a second-class court lady.But the clothes she was wearing were still very cheap.In this palace, the ladies of the palace are all people who act according to their faces.Seeing Que Ruoyu's shabby look, she couldn't help ridiculing her for a while.

"I'm here for the exam." Que Ruoyu said anxiously,

"Examination? How can you hand in a good work with your appearance? Besides, Aunt Liu has already decided who will be the lamplighter. As for you, forget it." The first-class maid said mockingly again.

"Sister, please inform me, I want to fight for it." Que Ruoyu heard the visitor taunting her like that.There was a hint of coldness on her originally smiling face.However, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.Now, she must go in.

"No, you are not allowed to go in." The first-class maid kept stopping.

Que Ruoyu's heart skipped a beat.This time, she will go in no matter what.She pushed away the maid who was blocking her, and forced her way in.Then, everyone in the room looked over.Aunt Liu looked at Que Ruoyu with displeasure.

"This is an examination room, who is so unruly." Her words were very severe.

Que Ruoyu's heart skipped a beat.It seems that she did meet a woman with a bit of aura today.

"This servant is a maid from Weiyang Palace, and she is here to take today's exam." She said slightly, feeling a little numb in her heart.From the first moment I saw Aunt Liu.She knows that such a woman is quite difficult to deal with.Women like Aunt Liu are always very serious.At this moment, Que Ruoyu was thinking about whether the old woman in front of her would agree to her request.

"The submission time was before noon. It's already [-]:[-] noon. You came a little too late?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at Que Ruoyu majesticly.What she meant was that she hoped that Que Ruoyu would leave quickly.

Que Ruoyu saluted slightly, "I know I'm late, but I hope that Aunt Liu can give me this chance. This blueprint was made by my servant last night, I hope Aunt Liu can take a look at it."
Aunt Liu looked a little displeased.

"Since Aunt Liu is from the Queen's Palace, Aunt Liu should take a look." Yu He said calmly from the side.She is quite confident in her work, no matter what, she is the winner of this competition.

That day, she heard Que Ruoyu, a court lady, from Concubine Qing's mouth.I heard that she was still the princess of the previous dynasty, so she has always been stupid.However, since she woke up from drowning last time, she has become much smarter.Last time, the maid poured the ashes from the censer on Concubine Qing's body, and it was fine.After Yuhe learned about this, she became interested in Que Ruoyu.

She wanted to know exactly what work Que Ruoyu submitted.

When Aunt Liu heard someone begging for mercy, her expression became more forgiving.She looked at Que Ruoyu faintly. "In this case, show the palace lantern in your hand." She said lazily.She has seen so many palace lanterns and has developed a strong immunity.In short, she did not find any talents to create among this group of court ladies.Even Yuhe's works can only be better than similar works.

Hearing what she said, Que Ruoyu showed the work in his hand.

Aunt Liu originally had disdainful eyes, but after seeing Que Ruoyu's death, Liu immediately became serious.After a while there was a look of relief on her face.She held the work in Que Ruoyu's hand.She looked at Que Ruoyu in disbelief.

"This...this...is it really designed by you?" She looked a little excited.From her appearance, one can tell that she is very interested in Que Ruoyu's works.

"Back to Aunt Liu, this is indeed done by a slave." She replied seriously.

Aunt Liu held the work in her hand and carefully looked at the pattern of the palace lantern.She looked at it like she was looking at the hope of the future of the Shang Bed Bureau.

Yu He looked at Aunt Liu's expression with some puzzlement.She was slightly distracted just now, so she didn't see what the work in Que Ruoyu's hand was.She looked confused.

"What exactly did Que Ruoyu paint? Aunt Liu is so fascinated?" Yu He asked a court lady beside her.

"The servant girl didn't see the details clearly, but the work looks particularly magnificent."
"Majestic atmosphere?" Yuhe repeated with some puzzlement.
