Intuition told Yitong that the queen didn't like her, she didn't like her very much, and she didn't even want to look at her.
This empress of the Tianyou Dynasty is indeed an elegant woman with countless manners and every move is charming. Although she is already middle-aged, she looks like she is in her early thirties due to her proper maintenance.
The several princesses around her all knew how to watch her words and carefully followed her around the imperial garden. Among them, Shu Zhuolian was the most favored by her.
The queen held her hand affectionately, with a kind look on her face, "Lian'er, it's been a year since you married Yan Qin, why don't you have Xin'er yet?"
All the princesses around her smiled. Zhuo Lian blushed with embarrassment. Her charming appearance was instantly endearing. "The prince said that Lian'er is still too young, and he is still a child." After saying this, she lowered her head in embarrassment.
.
"Haha," the queen smiled and lightly scratched her nose, "You are just too naive, and you can easily be bullied by some thoughtful people." She glanced at Yitong with a pointed look, "
How did I hear that Lian'er was poisoned a few days ago because she mistakenly ate something brought from someone else?"
Yitong raised her eyes and looked directly at her without any shame. This matter could actually reach the queen. She was already aware of what would happen next.
"Huh?" Zhuo Lian blinked her big black and white eyes, as if she didn't expect the Queen to know about this. She looked at Yitong uneasily, and then quickly waved her hands, "No, no, there is no such thing. Lian'er is in good health.
It’s here.”
"Really?" The queen looked away and looked at her gently, "Lian'er, you would never deceive me."
"Queen..." Zhuo Lian lowered her eyes cowardly, not daring to say another word.
The queen smiled and said calmly, "Lian'er, Yan Qin loves you, and I am happy to see you. But if someone becomes jealous because of this, and does something shameful and dirty, and lets me know about it, I will never do it."
I will be lenient."
Turning back, she looked straight at Yitong with her shrewd eyes, "Ninth Princess, do you think so?"
All eyes fell on Yitong, and no one could understand the meaning of the queen's words.
Yitong smiled elegantly and nodded respectfully, "The queen is right."
The queen ignored her and continued walking while holding Zhuo Lian's hand. Suddenly, she stopped, reached out and touched her left ear, "Ah, my earrings fell into the pool."
The eunuch next to her immediately asked someone to pick it up, but the queen stretched out her hand to stop her, looking back at Yitong with a smile, "Ninth Princess, can you pick it up for me?"
Yitong raised his eyebrows, and in the midst of the looks around him that looked like they were joking, he calmly responded, "I, my concubine, obey your order."
"Haha, that's good." The queen held Zhuo Lian's hand and led everyone forward, "I have prepared some Nanluo delicacies, let's go and taste them together."
"Thank you Queen."
Yitong glanced at the pool below. Although the pool was not big, it was not easy to find a small earring. It seemed that the queen had made it clear that she wanted to vent her anger on Zhuolian.
Yitong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and walked around the small bridge corridor to the edge of the pool. She took off her shoes, tied her skirt into a knot, rolled up her sleeves, and walked into the pool step by step...
