Chapter 5

When Li Yi left, Aunt Jing went in: "Empress, Your Majesty finally came just now, why didn't you see him?"

Aunt Yun also said, "Your Majesty hasn't come to Zhengyang Palace for a long time. It's really not easy to come here this time. I just thought of an excuse to stop him, but Your Majesty still came in. It can be seen that Your Majesty wants to see you. Empress, now you have grown up, you should seize the opportunity."

Qi Yue lay on the bamboo couch, and she was loosely wearing a red robe, revealing her shoulders, her skin was crystal clear, and it was so beautiful that it made people unable to remove her eyes.

After thinking for a while, Qi Yue looked back lazyly. Her black and white eyes slowly swept across her two aunts: "I don't like him."

Aunt Yun stepped forward, she sighed and gently pulled Qi Yue's clothes: "The weather is already cold, so I'd better not make a fuss, put on the clothes."

Qi Yue nodded, she closed the window and placed Yu Di in Aunt Jing's hand.

The bamboo couch is actually very cold. It is already Mid-Autumn Festival and the night is particularly cool. Her skin is close to the bamboo couch, and she can feel the chill vaguely.

Aunt Yun washed away the makeup on Qi Yue's face and used an ivory comb to combed Qi Yue's long hair.

Qi Yue's hair was pitch black and thick, and when it scattered, it looked like clouds and mist. Aunt Yun had never seen a woman who was even more beautiful than Qi Yue. After she had finished combed her hair, Qi Yue changed into a white bedclothes, then went to bed, and took a nap.

Li Yi hasn't seen Qi Yue for two years, so in his mind, Qi Yue is still a little girl.

I am delicate and weak, I like golden clothes, and I like to put a touch of cinnabar between my eyebrows, which is very sweet when I smile.

It seems to melt the heart of a person.

Li Yi always felt that Qi Yue was the burden left to him by Empress Dowager Qi. In addition to the burden, he could regard Qi Yue as his sister or as his daughter, but he could not regard her as his queen.

How could he like such a nasty little woman?

However, Li Yi knew that Qi Yue liked him. The little girl looked bitter and revenge when she saw him, but when she saw him and Empress Dowager Qi, she would smile and her eyes would shine.

In a blink of an eye, winter began, and the palace had already burned the earth dragon. When the first snow fell, Qi Yue opened the window and flew in. When it fell on the table with warmth, the snowflakes turned into water droplets.

"Empress, you have always been afraid of the cold. Today is the wind and snow, so why should you close the window?" Aunt Yun whispered, "A few days ago, several palace maids came out of Zhengyang Palace. I transferred two new palace maids from the Interior Department. Let them serve in the yard first, and then arrange them to the room. Do you want to take a look?"

Qi Yue closed the window and turned around. She raised her eyes: "Let them come in."

After a moment, four young palace maids who were in their youth stood outside the screen.

They all entered the palace shortly after they entered the palace. They heard that in the harem, the empress was a false act. The one who was truly in power was the Concubine Yan of Yuhua Palace. Concubine Yan was beautiful in the six palaces and handled all matters in the harem on behalf of the empress. Four palace maids had seen it from afar and knew about Concubine Yan's beauty and luxury.

Everyone wanted to go to a high place, but no one wanted to serve the queen who stepped into the cold palace with one foot and a half. The four palace maids were naturally very regretful. Therefore, they were handed over to Aunt Yun and brought to Zhengyang Palace by the general manager, and they were also a little unwilling and resentful.

Stepping into the inner room covered with thick carpet, the decorations in the room were simple and elegant, and the most eye-catching thing was the coral tree one or three feet tall. The palace maids could not tell the fragrance in the air, and they only knew that it was very cold and refreshing. In front of them was a flower and bird screen. They could not see the scene inside, and the palace maids dared not look at it. They lowered their heads and waited for the queen to come out.

The palace maids have also heard rumors that Queen Qi is an extremely tricky girl, a small group, difficult to serve, and has a very big temper, even the emperor dislikes her in private.

A cold and tender voice came from it: "All people have arrived?"

Aunt Yun stood quietly aside: "Return to the Queen's words, I will bring you there."

The palace maids heard a subtle sound of walking in their ears, probably the sound of clothes swaying on the floor rubbing against the carpet. Then, a slender and delicate woman was helped out by an older palace maid.

The four palace maids lowered their heads and did not dare to go and see them.

Snow-green fabrics often make people's skin look dull, but Qi Yue's skin is like ice and snow. Wearing a snow-green palace skirt will only make people feel out of the world. Her long hair is tied up casually with a hairpin, and her steps are very light, so she can only hear the sound of the hem of the skirt rubbing against the ground.

Qi Yue sat on the chaise longue beside her. As soon as she reached out, a palace maid put the hot tea in her hand.

Qi Yue took a sip of tea: "Everyone looks up and let me see what you look like."

The four palace maids all raised their faces, but their eyes were still downward, and they did not dare to face the queen's face.

The palace maids' appearance was dignified and pleasing, Qi Yue nodded: "What are your names?"

"I'm called Meng Cui."

"My servant is Geng Han."

"I'm called Yu Miaowan."

"I'm called He Xiaoyan."

The four palace maids calmly and reported their names one by one.

Qi Yue has been bored recently, so she pointed to a palace maid: "I am not happy, tell me some good stories to please me."

The accused palace maid was Geng Han. Geng Han was so scared that his face turned pale and hesitated and couldn't say a word.

Meng Cui and Yu Miaowan were also nervous, their bodies trembled slightly, fearing that the queen would point at them.

He Xiaoyan stepped forward: "Empress, can you tell me to tell you?"

Qi Yue turned the sapphire ring on the middle finger of her right hand: "Yes."

"It's snowing outside today, so I will tell you a story about a snow doll."

"good."

"Every winter it snows, and in my hometown, there are always children making snow dolls. On the street to the east, there is a family that is particularly poor. The girl in this family is sick. Every winter, the girl will cough. In the winter of this year, the girl piled up a snow doll, and she dreamed when she was dreaming at night..."

He Xiaoyan smiled and told a full quarter of an hour, and finally told the story: "... In the end, the little girl recovered her health. She married a good person and gave birth to a son who was as cute as a snow doll. The family got better and better."

Qi Yue took off the ring in her hand: "This is for you, your story is told very well, and I am very happy to hear it."

It was not until this time that He Xiaoyan dared to see the queen's face completely.

She originally thought that Concubine Yan was one of the few beauties in the sky and on the ground, but she didn't expect that the queen was even more beautiful.

The skin was as cold as ice and snow, the eyebrows were picturesque, and the eyes were filled with souls and souls. The queen had a smile on her lips, but the smile was too cold and she felt a little alienated.

The author has something to say: Happy New Year!
