Chapter 77 Entering the Palace for the First Time 3
Together with Xuanyuan Qi and the Queen, they walked slowly in Chaoyang Palace, followed by the eunuchs and maids behind them.
A young eunuch came running from a distance, stopped in front of the eunuch who was serving the emperor, and whispered a few words. The eunuch nodded to indicate that he knew and waved his hand for him to leave.
"Your Majesty, the general wishes to see you." The eunuch stepped forward and reported to Xuanyuan.
Xuanyuan Qi frowned slightly, feeling a little displeased. Before he could speak, the queen immediately said: "Your Majesty, the general must have something to ask for. You can rest assured here, I will make arrangements for you."
"Then I'll bother you, Queen." Xuanyuan Qi said calmly, glanced at Qingcheng, turned around and left with the eunuchs.
After Xuanyuan Qi left, the queen ignored Qingcheng and instead asked the maids around her about Qingcheng's food and clothing expenses.
Qingcheng naturally found it boring to be with him, so he simply asked the queen: "Queen, if nothing happens, Qingcheng would like to go back to the palace first."
"Yes." The queen agreed without even raising her eyes.
"Don't forget your identity!" The words behind him seemed to be a reminder.
Qingcheng didn't stop, turned around and left, as if he didn't hear anything.

"Butterfly, let's go see where they live." A little further away from the queens and the others, Qingcheng simply took Butterfly's hand and ran towards Chaoyang Palace.
As soon as they entered the door, the palace maids who were cleaning the house immediately stood in a row at the door and knelt down neatly: "Welcome to Your Highness the Goddess."
It was as if someone had poured cold water on his head. Qingcheng immediately lost interest and waved his hands irritably: "You all get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness." They all stood up and stood to one side with their heads lowered, still very nervous.
Qingcheng frowned: Why is it so awkward! But then he thought: I'm afraid I will spend more time with them in the future. In the big dyeing room of the palace, the maids often play a decisive role. In those palace dramas, isn't it?
Do some masters also die at the hands of palace maids?
Qingcheng said to Butterfly who was still glaring at them: "Go and see what the emperor has rewarded. Go and share it with these sisters! From now on, everyone should help and take care of each other under the same roof."
.”
Butterfly glanced at Qingcheng in confusion, without asking anything, and went directly to the house to find the rewards. When he saw the dozen maids standing in the hall, they seemed surprised.

It was night, Qingcheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep, as if he was choosing a bed. He simply sat up and hugged the soft brocade quilt. Outside the white gauze curtains, there were a few large palace lights in some empty rooms.
Candles, it was dim and hazy.
When she got up, put on her clothes and got out of bed, there was no familiar sound of Butterfly's breathing. She lived in the single room next door and no longer had to squeeze in with herself.
Walking out, the silver moonlight is as cool as water, and the stars on the dark sky are shining like diamonds. The night air is very fresh, with the smell of new life.
In the quiet night, Qingcheng was wandering like a wandering soul, not knowing where he was. A large lake with a cold light appeared in front of Qingcheng's eyes, with rippling waves.
The scenery was really pleasant, but the pavilion under the trees next to it was a little dark. Qingcheng walked over, but before he reached the pavilion, someone walked out of the shadows: "Qingcheng."
Qingcheng was startled by the sudden sound. He looked at it in a daze, and his heart was immediately filled with surprise, but then it turned dark again.
