Seeing her like this, the queen couldn't refuse anymore: "They will take care of the bathing, and you can stay nearby and talk to me."
Chu Yunfei's eyebrows softened, and he responded with a smile: "Okay."
"I really can't stand you." The queen chuckled helplessly, "With so many maids around me, why do I need you, a pregnant princess, to serve me?"
Chu Yunfei pursed her lips, but smiled silently.
The palace maids quickly prepared toiletries and clothes to change, and walked with the queen to the side hall bath.
The queen's bath is not small, with mist curling up on the water, freshly picked flower petals floating on it, and traces of fragrance floating in the air.
The queen stood by the bath, stretched out her arms and let the palace maid undress: "It's a pity that you are pregnant now and cannot take a hot bath, otherwise I will let you come to this bath to enjoy yourself."
After a pause, "But there will be opportunities in the future, so don't be in a hurry."
Chu Yunfei smiled respectfully and said, "My daughter-in-law has never thought about that. She just wants to be safe and sound with Rong Cang."
The queen smiled and said nothing. Soon her clothes were taken off, and her black hair fell down.
The queen stepped out of the bathtub wearing a close-fitting dress. As she entered the water, ripples appeared on the water, and the petals were layered on top of each other, rippling with the waves.
The maids knelt on the wall of the pool and wiped the queen's body with soft silk handkerchiefs and strings. With the comfortable feeling of massaging her shoulders with her slender jade fingers, the queen unconsciously relaxed her body and let out a long sigh.
Bathing is indeed a comfortable and beautiful enjoyment for the masters in the palace.
"I like bathing at this time the most. They are so comfortable to serve me." The queen smiled lazily, "While I'm washing, I can't help but want to take a nap."
The palace maid brought a small dish.
Chu Yunfei was sitting on the small stool, chatting with the queen all the time, and the atmosphere was quite leisurely.
"You all go down." The queen leaned on the wall of the pool, her voice much lazier, "I will have a private chat with Princess Zhan."
"Yes." The maids stood up and filed away.
Chu Yunfei looked slightly tense.
"Yun Fei." The queen turned to look at Chu Yun Fei, her eyes a little more probing, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Chu Yunfei was startled, then suddenly stood up and knelt down: "Please calm down, Queen Mother."
"I'm not angry with you, so why should I calm down?" the queen said, "get up and talk."
Chu Yunfei did not get up, but remained silent for a while, as if it was difficult to say: "Daughter-in-law...Daughter-in-law actually wants to..."
The queen looked at her strangely: "What are you thinking about?"
Chu Yunfei's cheeks were hot: "My daughter-in-law wants to see if there are any marks on the queen mother's body."
"Mark?" The queen was startled, "What mark?"
Chu Yunfei pursed her lips: "A mark belonging to the Xie family."
"What marks are there on the Xie family?" The queen frowned, seemingly puzzled, "Why didn't I know about it?"
Chu Yunfei was startled: "Mother, don't you know?"
"No idea."
Chu Yunfei's face changed slightly: "Mrs. Xie said that the Xie family's heirs have a red mole under their waist..."
Red mole?
The queen was stunned and subconsciously said: "You mean the upper part of the buttocks?"
Chu Yunfei's eyes brightened slightly, and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, does the queen mother also have it?"
"There is indeed one, but I have never seen it myself." The queen smiled lightly and looked at her thoughtfully, "What's wrong with the red mole? There should be nothing special about this mark."
"My daughter-in-law is just a little curious and wants to see what the red mole looks like." Chu Yunfei lowered his head, his cheeks slightly red, "If I have offended my mother in any way, it was unintentional. I hope my mother will forgive me."
The queen asked calmly: "Why did Mrs. Xie suddenly tell you about this matter?"
"That's when Miss Xie sent me a post. When I was visiting the Xie family, Mrs. Xie chatted with me and said that most of the Xie family's descendants have a red mole."
The queen was silent, suspicious in her heart.
As the daughter of the Xie family, she had never heard of the fact that the heirs of the Xie family had red moles. How could Mrs. Xie know about it?
What secret does this red mole hide?
The queen actually knew that Chu Yunfei was not telling the truth, at least not completely.
But at this point, Chu Yunfei didn't say anything. There must be a reason why she didn't say anything. The queen did not continue to ask, but stood up from the bath, turned her back to Chu Yunfei, and took off the gauze small dress wrapped around her waist. Clothes.
The queen has been sitting in the palace for more than 20 years. Although she is depressed and lonely due to the loss of her son, there are so many people in the palace to serve her. Her body has been pampered over the years, so her skin and figure are extremely well maintained, and she does not look like her age at all. Relaxation as it should be.
It's just that Chu Yunfei's gaze fell on a certain position behind her, and he was distracted for a moment, staring fixedly at that place.
A distinct red mole.
Almost exactly the same position as Rong Cang.
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and her eyes were filled with mist. Soon her vision was blurred, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
The queen stood for a moment, actually feeling a little uncomfortable.
It's one thing to be used to being served, but it's another thing to show off in front of your daughter-in-law. However, when she didn't hear any movement for a long time and turned her head to look in confusion, she was immediately startled: "Yun Fei? "
Chu Yunfei lowered his head, and crystal liquid fell from the corners of his eyes: "Mother."
"What's going on?" The queen put on a bath towel and walked out to hold her in her arms. "If you don't cry, what's going on?"
Chu Yunfei cried uncontrollably.
She knew she should be happy, but at this moment, heat flowed out of her eyes involuntarily.
Thinking of the Queen suffering from the pain of losing her child for so many years, thinking of Rong Cang who never had a good life since he was a child. They should be as close as flesh and blood, but they can't recognize each other even though they are so close.
Chu Yunfei just thought about it for a moment, and felt depressed and uncomfortable.
She couldn't imagine the pain she would live in for the rest of her life if someone took her child away.
But now... God seems to have begun to make up for them invisibly...
The queen wiped her tears: "What happened?"
Chu Yunfei took a deep breath to calm down her emotions and said, "My daughter-in-law has lost her temper. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
"It doesn't matter."
Chu Yunfei raised her eyes, her eyes bright with tears, but gradually she was filled with tears of joy and excitement: "Later, my daughter-in-law has something very important to tell her mother, and she asked the maid to take care of her bathing first."
The queen nodded, thinking about what she had just said, and couldn't help but think deeply.
Mrs. Xie told her?
Mrs. Xie would tell her that the Xie family had marks on their bodies for no reason?
And why is she crying?
Seeing the mark on her body, is it worth her being so rude?
The Queen leaned against the edge of the bath again, closing her eyes slightly, thinking about the possible hidden secrets behind her abnormal attitude... What makes her care so much is because others also have such marks on their bodies?
Such a secret location would not be exposed to others, and Chu Yunfei would not see it.
unless……
The queen suddenly opened her eyes, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes. Unless it was her closest person, the person on her pillow who could be honest with her, her husband.
The queen's heart suddenly started to beat wildly, and an incredible thought came to her mind. She tried her best to suppress this ridiculous thought, but the more she suppressed it, the thought grew wildly like a backbone.
The sound of footsteps behind her came back again, and the palace maid knelt beside her to help her, and the queen came back to her senses.
"Change." The queen stood up and walked out, her tone a little unsteady, "I am not feeling well, so let's call it a day."
"Yes." The palace maid lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes as she wiped herself and changed her clothes.
The queen couldn't help but look outside the palace, her expression no longer as calm as before taking a bath.
