Fortunately, Feng Qingchen slipped back to the room before Tong Jue and Tong Yao came to serve him. He took off his dirty clothes and messed up the quilt and sheets. Feng Qingchen simply wiped it with the remaining water from yesterday.
I changed into a set of clean clothes directly. As for the dirty clothes...
Feng Qingchen's brows were knotted, she missed Zhou Xing so much... In the past, when Zhou Xing was here, Zhou Xing would clean up her blood-stained clothes without her asking, and he wouldn't ask any more questions, but Tong Jue
Not with Tong Yao, these two people...
They would not ask, but they would think about it, and even check what she had done. Alas, they could not completely trust those two people after all. Feng Qingchen wrapped the clothes and stuffed them under the bed, preparing to throw them into the stove at some time in the evening.
It's burned inside.
When Tong Jue and Tong Yao came in to serve, they found Feng Qingchen with a haggard face and blood-red eyes. They were startled: "Xiu, what's wrong with you?" It looked like they hadn't slept all night. The two maids looked like they hadn't slept all night.
I felt suspicious and looked at the room with the corner of my eye, but found nothing unusual.
"I had a nightmare all night and didn't sleep well." After not sleeping all night, his voice was inevitably hoarse. Feng Qingchen drank a glass of water to moisten his throat before saying.
Tong Jue and Tong Yao wanted to say something more, but Feng Qingchen looked like he didn't want to say more and shut his mouth obediently. Tong Jue helped Feng Qingchen wash up, while Tong Yao went to tidy up the quilt.
Touching the cold quilt without any warmth, Tong Yao's hands froze. She turned around and saw Feng Qingchen washing herself. After making sure that Feng Qingchen didn't notice anything unusual about herself, Tong Yao took a breath and continued to tidy up the quilt.
Zuo didn't notice anything, but a slight grievance flashed through his heart.
Xiu doesn't trust them.
Before Feng Qingchen's breakfast was finished, the Empress's reward arrived, no more, no less, a famous piano, a chess book, a wolf brush, a stack of rice paper and drawing paper specially used by the royal family, and a set of riding horses.
Equip, a riding crop.
Six things were placed in front of the case one by one.
Feng Qingchen just wanted to say that the queen is really not stingy. These six things combined are not as good as the original calligraphy sent by the prince. Does the queen not even do basic things to save face?
"Xiu?" Tong Jue and Tong Yao reminded them when they saw Feng Qingchen staring blankly at the gift given by the emperor.
"Put it away." Feng Qingchen waved his hand carelessly. She didn't care if the queen gave more or less. Anyway, this was the queen's attitude.
"Yes." Tong Jue and Tong Yao silently stepped forward, more cautious than usual. Feng Qingchen laughed. The two maids were probably still blaming her for not telling her about the competition with Su Wan in advance.
Listen to them.
In fact, she really forgot to tell them about the competition at that time, and she didn't intend to hide it at all.
As a result, the two maids learned about her competition with Su Wan from outsiders. Feng Qingchen could understand their feelings, but he could only understand what she should do.
Not to mention that Tong Jue and Tong Yao are just maids. Even if they are her friends and relatives, they must also hide things that should be hidden. Everyone has their own secrets, and the reason why secrets are called secrets is because they are the only ones who have them.
One person knows.
She has no interest in sharing her secrets with others, nor is she interested in learning other people's secrets. She is just a simple person who just wants to live a simple life.
Feng Qingchen hurried back to the city because she was afraid that she would not be there when the queen's reward came. Now that she had received it, Feng Qingchen was fine. After telling Tong Jue and Tong Yao, Feng Qingchen closed the door and went to sleep.
Last night, she was really tired. It would have been fine if it was just an operation, but she had had a fight before, and now her muscles all over her body ached, and she was terribly sleepy.
Feng Qingchen went to bed and fell asleep. Tong Jue and Tong Yao were even more sure that Feng Qingchen had gone out last night. The two maids looked at each other and saw bitterness and hurt in each other's eyes, which finally turned into a sigh...
They couldn't ask about things that their master didn't want them to know.
The queen gracefully fiddled with the incense sticks in the incense burner, with a rare smile in her eyes: "Is the matter done?"
"Reply to the Queen, everything is fine, Feng Xiu accepted the piano." The old nanny, who was about forty years old, stood three steps away from the Queen. When she heard the Queen ask, she stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Just accept it. This time, I want Feng Qingchen and the prince to have no chance of turning over." The queen threw away the wood piece and clapped her hands. The nun behind her immediately took out the clean and warm handkerchief.
Offer it to the Queen to cleanse her hands.
The Queen's wiping movements were very similar to Feng Qingchen's, each finger was carefully wiped back and forth. The difference was that the Queen's wiping movements were much more elegant than Feng Qingchen's.
Feng Qingchen wiped her hands purely for the sake of wiping her hands. There was no sense of beauty. Unlike the queen, she was as meticulous as wiping flowers. Her slightly raised little finger had a seductive smell. She was nearly forty but looked like she was thirty.
She is like a young woman, exuding a mature and attractive style.
Unfortunately, there are too many young and fresh beauties in the palace, and the emperor rarely comes to the queen except on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
"Don't worry, Madam, that piano was modified by Mo Wubai, a direct disciple of the Mo family, and no one will find any flaws. When the time comes, if you find a chance to knock the piano to the ground, the contents inside will fall out.
." The old grandma has a face with a smile like a chrysanthemum, but she looks shabby no matter what.
The Queen nodded with satisfaction: "Arrange carefully, I don't allow any accidents, do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely take care of it and I will never miss your Majesty's business." The old mama asked for credit in a ruthless manner. Just when she was about to flatter the Queen, the eunuch reported to Princess Anping to see her.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother, you must vent your anger on me. That Feng Qingchen is so abominable. He made some kind of gambling game and talked about serving the country and the people. He is simply shameless." Before anyone arrived, Anping arrived first.
Before the princess entered the palace, she shouted loudly. You can imagine that she was angry at this time...
Feng Qingchen, an orphan, tried to outdo her over and over again. At this time, she also launched a banner to share the worries of the court and help the poor people. Isn't this clearly aimed at her as a princess?
Sharing the worries of the court and helping the poor people, this should be what she, a princess, should do. Who does Feng Qingchen mean, why should he steal her limelight?
When she thought of the gossip in the imperial city, Princess Anping burst into tears.
The young masters in the imperial city barely pointed at her and said that Princess Anping only knew how to enjoy herself and did not know the sufferings of the world. She did not care about the life and death of the people. She could not even compare with half a finger of Feng Qingchen.
The queen winked at the nanny behind her, and the nanny stepped back respectfully. She knew very well that as long as she did that thing well, the queen would definitely reward her.
As long as that thing is done, the prince and Feng Qingchen will be guilty of murdering the emperor. When the time comes, even if the Nine Emperors Uncle comes forward, he will not be able to protect them...
"My son, what's going on?" The queen stepped forward and held Princess Anping in her arms with a look of love on her face.
