In order to comfort Empress Qingyi, Hua Jue nodded and said, "See...I see!"
When Qingyi heard this, she was very happy. Her pale face was filled with smiles, and she sighed with tears in her eyes:
"I knew Linyou would definitely be waiting for me on the Xihua Bridge. That day, as the wedding general, he sent me all the way to the Xihua Bridge. I turned around and looked back at Li Guo's wedding procession stopping there. .”
"Rinyou got off the horse and knelt down on one knee. He said to me, Princess Qingyi, Chen Linyou can only send you here. From now on, we will be separated by a wall in the Zhuilan Palace. Linyou You will be waiting for you on this Xihua Bridge every night, waiting for you to come out, and then send you back to Liguo."
"At that time, both Linyou and I understood that although Zhuilan Palace was only separated by a wall, there were many obstacles. It was so far away that we would never see each other again. And Linyou had been waiting for me on Xihua Bridge. I would not feel lonely. Because he is the one who sent me to pursue marriage in Lan Country, and will also escort my ashes back to Li Country. He, Lin You, will never leave me..."
Hearing what Qingyi said so sincerely and heartbroken, Hua Jue felt that she was so unworthy, and finally couldn't help blurting out: "Ms. Qingyi, don't be stupid! Linyou is not in Xihua at all. Waiting for you on the bridge, he lied to you, he just wanted you to stay in the palace obediently!"
When Qingyi heard this, she was stunned. After a while, she said with tears in her eyes: "Maybe... maybe he was temporarily busy, so he didn't go to Xihua Bridge."
Hua Jue said angrily: "It's okay if I have something to do for one day, but I waited on the Xihua Bridge for three whole days and never saw him, and I asked people near the Xihua Bridge, and they had never seen him on the Xihua Bridge. The young master is waiting for someone on the Xihua Bridge. Madam, don’t you still believe that Linyou has betrayed you?”
"Linyou..." Qingyi bit her lip and threw herself on the bed, crying bitterly. Her slender hands tightly grasped the quilt, and her tears wet the quilt and her desperate heart.
Everything Hua Jue said at this moment seemed to pull away the warmest light in her heart, causing her to fall into the boundless abyss of despair.
Hua Jue stepped forward and hugged Qingyi distressedly, comforting her softly: "Mother, if you want to cry, just cry hard. After you finish crying, completely forget about that heartless man. Since you married from Li country, Zhui Lan, you should cherish it. You are the empress and you are a blessing that many women want. You should hold on to your blessing and stop entrusting your fate to anyone! You should have long-lasting blessings. You should enjoy the glory! You should be the King of Phoenixes who is beneath one person and above ten thousand people!"
Qingyi cried all night, and seemed to have figured it out the next morning. She ordered Hua Jue to bring hot water, and then took a bath in the water.
Hua Jue was at her side, wiping her back. Qingyi was such a beauty, her skin was as white as snow and as smooth as clear waves.
The hot air enveloped her flawless white jade waist. There was a fiery red tattoo on her back. The totem was the flame totem symbol of Li country. It was the flame totem that every Li country person would have tattooed for generations. , in order to be blessed by the God of Fire throughout his life.
Hua Jue dipped a little osmanthus oil on the comb, then gently combed her long black hair, and praised softly: "Your Majesty, you are worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Li country. You are as beautiful as a flower, and your skin is thin and smooth." , as long as you dress up a little, you will look bright and beautiful, and you will definitely regain the divine grace and win your majesty’s favor!”
Qingyi's slender fingers slid over her bright wrist that was sticking out of the water, and she lowered her eyes thoughtfully.
Hua Jue bathed and changed clothes for Qingyi. She drank the cough medicine that Hua Jue had cooked for her to calm her mind. She diffused incense on her long sleeves, dressed up carefully, and prepared to go to Zhui Lan. Greetings from Wang Lanlin.
Because she was ill, she had not gone to greet King Zhuilan for a long time.
The two of them were walking on the gorgeous wooden corridor. In the courtyard at the corner, they heard a palace maid whispering: "Did you hear that? Your Majesty didn't go to any empress's palace last night. It was Eunuch Lin who went to bed with him."
Another palace maid said: "This Eunuch Lin Xie has only been in the palace for two years, and he has won the favor of His Majesty. He is young and beautiful, and he is more beautiful than women. I heard that he... is relying on I climbed up the dragon bed and was upgraded to the head eunuch!"
After hearing this, the master and the servant immediately
Qingyi paused and her expression changed drastically. Hua Jue couldn't help but feel worried when she saw her expression was not good.
The two palace maids who were gossiping behind their backs happened to come out of the corner and bumped into the two of them. The expressions of the two palace maids suddenly changed. They had not seen the Qingyi Lady walking around the palace for many years. Suddenly, When he saw it, he couldn't help being startled and hurriedly bowed to him.
"See Queen Qingyi!"
Seeing that Qingyi didn't speak, the two just nodded and left in a hurry, fearing that they would be punished for gossiping behind others' backs.
Na Qingyi asked Hua Jue on the side: "Hua Jue, are what the two palace maids said true?"
Hua Jue said: "Your Majesty, these are all gossips whispered by the palace maids in private. How could Your Majesty like a eunuch when there is such a beauty as the most beautiful woman in the country?"
Qingyi frowned slightly and asked, "Have you seen that Lin Xie? What does he look like?"
Qingyi has never left Chenxi Palace since she fell ill, and she didn't even know that the current eunuch chief had been replaced.
Hua Jue whispered: "When I walked around the palace, I occasionally saw Eunuch Lin Xie a few times. Indeed... he is indeed extremely handsome, but he is not a woman... How could your majesty like him?"
Qingyi said coldly: "Your Majesty has countless beauties in your harem. You may want to change your taste, but I would like to see what Eunuch Lin Xie looks like. He can actually have such evil power to seduce the Holy Heart!"
Seeing that Empress Qingyi was angry, Hua Jue lowered his head and followed her straight away without saying a word.
Lan Lin's bedroom was filled with smoke, and he was sitting at the table reviewing memorials.
The eunuch came to report: "Your Majesty, Queen Qingyi has come to pay her respects."
"Qingyi?"
Lan Lin frowned slightly and thought for a while, then he remembered the princess sent by Li Guo to marry him. Although they were husband and wife, they had not seen each other for many years. In these years, he thought that she had died in Chenxi Palace long ago. The thought of her being alive.
It was unusual for Qingyi to come to pay his respects to him.
"Let her in!" Lan Lin threw aside the memorial in his hand and said calmly.
Qingyi and Hua Jue walked in. Before anyone arrived, the delicious scent of roses wafted over her body.
Looking at the sickly beauty again, she turned out to be a bit charming today. Her bright and beautiful face seemed to be even better than five years ago. God really favored the beauty. No matter how hard it was, the beauty on her face There was not even a trace of fatigue visible.
"I, my concubine, put on your clothes to see your majesty!"
Lan Lin looked sideways at Qingyi's appearance, and then said: "Qingyi is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Li country! You still seem to be so bright and beautiful. Five years have passed, and the years have never seemed to leave a trace on your face. Traces." ap.
Qingyi said: "I have been ill for a long time. Thank you for your majesty's favor and allowed me to recuperate in Chenxi Palace. I have not been able to come to pay your respects to your majesty for so many years. I hope your majesty will forgive me!"
Lan Lin sneered, tapped the table with two slender fingers, and then said: "I thought you didn't want to see Gu!"
Hua Jue felt that there was something wrong with the quarreling tone between the two, so she hurriedly lowered her head, not even daring to take a breath.
However, the moment Hua Jue pressed his head down, Lan Lin caught his eye and asked Qingyi, "Is this the maid serving you?"
"The palace maid Hua Jue is here to see your majesty!"
"Raise your head and let me take a look!"
Hua Jue was shocked and slowly raised her head.
This was the first time she had looked into the eyes of King Lan Lin since she entered Zhuilan Palace, and she felt the majesty and awe from the King for the first time.
Lan Lin said: "She is also a beauty, standing in front of the most beautiful woman in Li country. It's a pity that you don't have the life of a princess, otherwise you would have a bright future!"
Hua Jue said hurriedly: "Empress Qingyi is the most beautiful woman in Li country. In front of her, this servant is just a shadow on the ground. She has no face or form. With the help of her light, she is dependent on her. She is serving at the side. , so this is the greatest and brightest future in this slave’s life!”
Lan Lin laughed, and then said: "What a person who can
Well-spoken spiritual girl, I feel relieved to have you serving Qingyi. It’s cold today, so you should accompany your master to go back and rest early! "
Hua Jue nodded and said, "Thanks to your majesty, I will definitely serve Qingyi well!"
Qingyi's heart sank. She didn't expect that after so many years, Lan Lin still didn't seem to care about her. He was still unmoved by a beauty like her. Could it be that the rumors were true and that he really liked men?
He bowed his clothes and bowed, and said softly, "I'll take my leave first!"
Lan Lin nodded and said: "I will send an order to you and ask them to buy you winter clothes and the new nourishing herbs from the Royal Pharmacy Department. You can ask your maid to go get some for your use later!"
Qingyi nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Hua Jue felt that the way this couple got along was even stranger than strangers. It was no wonder that Queen Qingyi had not been favored by the Holy Spirit for many years, and Hua Jue only complained for her.
Although Qingyi was a princess from a small country, she still had an arrogant self-esteem in her heart. She could not learn to be as groveling, flattering and attentive as other empresses and concubines.
In addition, the empress's mind was not on King Zhui Lan before. Now if she wants to win back King Zhui Lan, she will have to put in some effort and work hard to please him.
Hua Jue was thinking as he silently followed Qing Yi. The two of them came down from the white jade stone steps. A group of people happened to be walking towards them. The eunuch at the head was Lin Xie.
When he saw Qingyi, he hurriedly lowered his head and saluted: "Slave Lin Xie, please see Qingyi!"
Qingyi paused, stood on the stone steps one meter away from him, and looked down. The eunuch who was half-bent to salute him turned out to be Lin Xie. A group of attendants followed behind him. When he saluted Qingyi, he bowed down respectfully.
