The queen was well-maintained. She was in her forties, but she looked like she was in her early thirties. With willow-leaf eyebrows, pink eyes, and lips that always kept a smile, she looked outstanding even in a harem filled with beauties.
"You," the queen twitched her lips and said lightly, "you are the most articulate."
Yun Chuyao smiled shyly.
The queen nodded slightly, her voice still lazy: "I heard that you fell into the water and were unconscious for two days. It sounds worrying. But now, looking at it, your cheeks are rosy and your complexion is much better. It's not in vain." I pray for you day and night.”
Pray?
Yun Chuyao sneered in her heart, but her face was touched, and she said with red eyes: "I'm sorry for you, my son and I are fine."
"Now that you have seen me, I will feel relieved." The Queen raised her lips slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and she spoke slowly: "But this is a blessing in disguise. After Ayao fell into the water, she turned out to be very smart. I don’t know if it’s because I’ve grown up.”
Yun Chuyao's eyes were slightly cold.
You can't hear the hidden meaning behind the Queen's words!
She suspected that she was separated from her!
"Really!"
Yun Chuyao pretended to be surprised, her dark eyes were filled with stars, she looked at the sparkling ones with the innocence and coquettishness of a girl, and said, "It's good that my son will grow up, and his mother will miss him less."
As she said that, she couldn't help but steal a glance at the queen, her eyes were full of admiration, but she concealed it well and looked very serious.
The queen glanced at her indifferently, then did not dare to look away with interest, and responded casually.
"Mother," Yun Chuyao hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "I wonder how Ayu is doing? Is he awake? I want to take a look."
"No need."
The queen interrupted: "Your emperor brother worked hard all night and didn't go to bed until dawn. If you are serious, you'd better watch it another day."
Yun Chuyao was a little disappointed, but she could only nod her head and said angrily: "I don't know who has a bad heart, but he actually harmed A-Yu. He is really heartbroken. Mother, you must find out the murderer and avenge A-Yu." !”
"Ayu's fall from the horse may have been an accident, so you don't have to worry about it."
Accident?
Yun Chuyao understood.
It seems that the prince and brother have not found any evidence that other princes have harmed anyone.
She lowered her eyes, hid the emotions in her eyes, and pretended to be angry: "If I know this, I will definitely not gossip about it. By the way, my mother and concubine, the one in Jingyang Palace is one year older than I, shouldn't she too?" Sent to study at Taixue University?"
"oh?"
The queen raised her eyebrows, and when she looked at Yun Chuyao, a hint of deep meaning flashed in her eyes, and she said with a half-smile, "You are getting close to Xiao Qi. Look, in just a few days, you already know how to benefit him." .”
"If the mother is in trouble, it's too late for the sons and daughters to hide from him," Yun Chuyao curled her lips and continued: "With the temper of the Seventh Emperor Brother, let alone the sons and daughters, even if all the princes and nobles in the capital are put together, Son, no one wants to get close to him, he looks like a wild beast!"
After saying that, she added: "My son is thinking that he is also fourteen this year. In a few years, he will leave the palace and establish a palace and choose a prince and concubine. He always needs to read some books and know some words. Otherwise, Wouldn’t it discredit the royal family?”
The queen took a sip of tea and didn't respond.
Yun Chuyao was not in a hurry and stood quietly, as if she made a suggestion casually and didn't care whether the queen accepted it or not.
After a long time, the queen curled her lips and smiled slightly: "Ayao has really grown up and become more considerate. Now she knows that she can share her worries with her mother."
Yun Chuyao blushed: "This is what I should do."
"stop."
The queen nodded and said casually: "It's just a matter of adding a child to the Imperial Academy. It's not a big deal. It's good to let him recover before he comes back. He can also study and be polite. You can't keep him in the cold palace all year round and make him unreasonable, right? "
Yun Chuyao's high-spirited heart finally calmed down. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "What the Queen Mother said is that I think the Seventh Emperor will be grateful when he knows about the Queen Mother's good intentions."
The queen smiled lightly.
No more answers.
Yun Chuyao had long been accustomed to the queen's indifference towards her, and was not surprised. Seeing that she was no longer interested in talking, she straightened up in a sensible manner, bowed and retreated outside the palace.
The palace became increasingly quiet.
Aunt Zhou stood at the bottom, her head buried low, and she looked very polite. Only her slightly trembling lips and a faint chill on her back showed her uneasiness.
"Empress..."
The queen raised her hand slightly, interrupted Nanny Zhou's voice, and said slowly: "Nanny has been with me for more than twenty years, right?"
Aunt Zhou trembled!
"You are the most responsible person. I don't want to say anything else, but you have to remember that I can help you rise to a high position, and I can also make you fall into the quagmire. Don't have thoughts that you shouldn't have, and people who can't scheme. Don't make any plans," the queen sneered and said, "If you want to use my hand to suppress someone you don't like, you have to see if you are qualified."
"Empress!"
Aunt Zhou's legs went weak, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop, wailing: "Empress! I don't dare to speak nonsense. It is true that after Princess Changle fell into the water, her temper changed drastically. She scolded His Highness the Ninth Prince over and over again. I am worried that someone is driving a wedge between the two of you behind your back. Your Highness’s feelings!”
As she said that, she hurriedly walked forward and choked with sobs: "What's more, Princess Changle is the master and the slave is the servant. How can the slave hate Princess Changle because of some trivial things?"
"There is no best."
The queen said softly: "I am just giving you a reminder this time. If there is another time, don't blame me for being ruthless. As for Chang Le, no one can compare to me in what she has done and what she wants to do." Gong knows better, doesn’t he?”
Yes!
Princess Changle has a concubine by her side!
While Mammy Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, her mind was disturbed by the Queen's warning. She couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart. She forcefully suppressed her previous resentment because of Princess Changle's instigation of discord, which caused her to lose the trust of the Ninth Prince. Go down.
Don't dare to act rashly again.
Of course, Yun Chuyao herself didn't know how jealous and resentful Nanny Zhou was, and even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. After all, she didn't want to let go of this lowly slave who once oppressed her so easily in her new life.
Everything has just begun.
After Yun Chuyao left Kunning Palace, she went straight to Taixue without any further delay and started studying literature and martial arts.
This study lasted several days.
During this period, she also visited Yun Yanyu. Although she did not exchange a word with her, she also made her presence felt with the Queen. In addition, she did not give up on the Seventh Prince, not only did Jinmei send him twice He was given medicine and food was sent to him. I thought that within a few days, he would be almost in good health.
It will be convenient for Yun Chuyao to observe when he comes to Taixue again.
The days passed fairly peacefully.
But obviously, sometimes, even if Yun Chuyao doesn't cause trouble, trouble will come to her.
"Hey, I wonder who is so arrogant and disrespectful when seeing the imperial sister. It turns out she is my third imperial sister!"
A slightly provocative voice suddenly sounded!
