Zhong Chuchu's expression was almost ferocious, which made the servants around her feel frightened.
"How...how could it be possible? Even though my father has been cheated, why is it that His Majesty is still unwilling to take action against Mu Qingchao? Is it because he is reluctant to give up?"
As she spoke, she looked at the maid beside her.
"Hold Qin, let's go. I want to send a message to dad. Without dad, how would he be the emperor he is now? It's only been a few days, isn't it possible that dad's words won't work?"
Zhong Chuchu was being supported by the maid and was about to walk to the palace.
But I saw another eunuch hurriedly catching up in front of me.
Zhong Chuchu recognized him, he was Eunuch Lu who was beside Shen Muchi.
At this moment, Mr. Lu bowed to Zhong Chuchu with a happy face: "Congratulations, congratulations to the empress."
Zhong Chuchu's face was stunned.
"Father, how happy are you?"
"Your Majesty has given an order to come to the Empress' Palace tonight."
But it was such a great joy. The anger on Zhong Chuchu's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a face full of joy.
"Father-in-law, are you serious?"
But Eunuch Lu said: "Look at what the empress said. Your Majesty asked the old slave to deliver the message. How dare the old slave open his mouth to talk nonsense?"
"Yes, yes..."
The moment of joy made Zhong Chuchu so happy that she could hardly find Bei.
"Hold Qin, hurry up!"
She looked at the maid behind her. The maid looked very well and stuffed a purse into Eunuch Lu's hand.
Eunuch Lu weighed it and was satisfied.
"In this way, I will stop bothering you. A spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so I have to dress up nicely."
"Yes, yes, you still have to dress up."
As soon as Eunuch Lu left, Zhong Chuchu grabbed the hand holding Qin next to her: "Quickly, dress me up."
She walked in a hurry and was so happy that she felt overwhelmed.
When the maids on the side saw this, they were naturally willing to say some nice words to please her.
Bao Qin said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the first one your Majesty came to was our Yuxia Palace instead of Shuyue Palace. It seems that he really cares about you, Your Majesty."
Zhong Chuchu's face had a proud look on her face: "What else do you need to say?"
After Shen Muchi became emperor, it was of course not only the Zhong family who wanted to recruit people to him, but also Princess Zhenguo.
Moreover, Princess Zhenguo was domineering by nature, and relying on her husband's family's military power, her daughter had to outdo Zhong Chuchu in everything. After entering the palace, Zhong Chuchu was a concubine, and her daughter had to be a noble concubine.
Originally, Zhong Chuchu was holding back her breath, but unexpectedly, Shen Muchi was the first to be lucky.
For a moment, Zhong Chuchu felt that she had won. Depending on her position, the emperor's heart would be the most real to whom.
"Then Madam, do we still need to write to the master?" Baoqin asked again.
"You are stupid. Who among men in this world likes his woman to complain to her parents' family whenever something happens to her? Isn't this a clear attempt to push His Majesty out?
Not only that, but you also have to ask dad not to get into a fight with His Majesty over this matter. What if His Majesty doesn’t come by then?”
At this moment, Zhong Chuchu understood clearly that she valued Shen Muchi more than hatred.
After she has captured Shen Muchi's heart, is she still afraid that she won't be able to deal with Mu Qingchao?
With this thought in mind, Zhong Chuchu took hold of Qin's hand and said, "Go and get my gold-threaded and white-patterned dress. Now that the late Emperor is newly mourned, it's better to be plain and simple."
"yes."
Bao Qin respectfully accepted the order.
On the other side, Mu Qingchao seemed to be in a good mood and was dressing up in the mirror.
She changed herself into a short coat with lotus root silk pipa sleeves, a crescent phoenix tail skirt, a purple mandarin flower hairpin, and she was still humming a song.
Both Chunya and Qiangwei knew that Mu Qingchao cherished his appearance very much.
After all, how can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl not love beauty?
Not to mention that Mu Qingchao was born with a pretty face, but as servants like them, with the qualifications of a middle-aged man, they just wished they could hold the mirror and look at him every day.
It's just that after Mu Qingchao entered the palace, he rarely thought about dressing up in front of the mirror.
"The Queen Mother is so beautifully dressed, are you going somewhere?" Qiangwei asked from the side.
"I am a widow whose husband has died. How can I let outsiders see me when I dress so beautifully for my own enjoyment?" Mu Qingchao replied, the smile on his face not diminishing.
Qiangwei and Chunya could detect a hint of bitterness.
Yes, their lady is obviously so beautiful, but she lost her husband at a young age. She is not even sixteen years old. In this silent palace, who can she show her beautiful appearance to?
How can a person survive this long life alone and alone?
Mu Qingchao looked at the mirror that reflected the sad faces of Chunya and Qiangwei.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Qingchao asked.
"I……"
"us……"
Qiangwei and Chunya hesitated, but didn't know what to say.
There was a hint of impatience on Mu Qingchao's face and he said, "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Chun Ya was the first to lose control and knelt down with a "pop" sound.
After all, they grew up with Mu Qingchao, and they couldn't hide their worries. Chunya only said with a bitter face: "I just thought about the future...what should I do, the Queen Mother..."
"What should I do? Now that I can't die, I naturally have to live a good life."
"But...but you have to remain a widow for the rest of your life."
"Being a widow is a happy event."
Chunya: "Huh? Ah?"
The sad look on her face was still there, and she looked up at Mu Qingchao with an astonished face, looking a bit funny.
The Queen Mother...she said that being a widow is a good thing?
Could it be that the Queen Mother was overly sad and confused?
Is there any woman in this world who would rather be a widow?
Mu Qingchao said: "Look at those women in the harem, who are always submissive to one man, working hard to please him in every possible way, and also have to be jealous and compete with all kinds of women. How tiring it is.
Look at me, I am free, I have food and drink, and I still hold the title of Queen Mother. Is there anything more refreshing in this world?"
"ah?"
Chunya was stunned for a moment.
"But...but you have to be locked up in this palace for the rest of your life. It's all wasted time."
Mu Qingchao: "What a coincidence, I don't like to go out."
Chunya:……
Is she also stunned? She actually thinks that what the Queen Mother said...makes sense?
"But...but..."
"alright."
Chun Ya wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mu Qingchao.
"Look at the beautiful snow scene outside. Please accompany me for a walk in the yard."
"Eh."
Chun Ya quickly agreed, blaming herself in her heart. Aren't she crazy? When the Queen Mother encountered such a big thing, she didn't rush to think of solutions and kept pouring salt on her wounds.
How stupid!
She quickly thought of ways to divert Mu Qingchao's attention.
"Slave, I will get you a cloak right now."
"No need, I'm just going out." Mu Qing said.
"Ah?" Chunya was stunned: "Queen Mother, it's freezing and snowy outside, you can't stand it in such a short coat."
"It doesn't matter."
Mu Qingchao was extremely stubborn. Before Chunya and Qiangwei could speak, he got up from the low couch, lifted the curtain and walked out.
"Empress..."
Seeing this, Chunya and Qiangwei followed each other.
It was really cold outside, and the wind felt like a knife on my face. The clothes I wore were of no use at all, and my body was frozen in no time.
Qiangwei couldn't bear it anymore, so she put her hand to her mouth and breathed, while saying: "Queen Mother, let's go in. You are wearing such thin clothes. You will catch a cold soon."
But just as Qiangwei finished speaking, the next second she saw Mu Qingchao taking off his short coat, leaving only his middle coat standing in the snow.
"Queen Mother!"
Both Chun Ya and Qiangwei were startled.
In such cold weather, is the Queen Mother desperate for her life?
