Chapter 380
"Miss Qin is here again. The Queen Mother is blowing the wind in the Pavilion in the middle of the lake. Miss Qin, please go quickly."
The person who spoke was the nanny who was serving the Queen Mother, and she was also the old man beside the Queen Mother.
She greeted Qin Xiaoyun kindly.
"Thank you, mama." Qin Xiaoyun smiled slightly and kept walking.
In the pavilion in the center of the lake, the palace maids stood on both sides, fanning the Queen Mother leisurely on the soft chair. There were various fruits and melons on the table before her death. They were all seasonal fruits. The sight of them made people salivate and whet their appetite.
"The Empress Dowager."
The Queen Mother held her forehead with her hands, leaned on the back of the chair, closed her eyes, and was resting her mind.
Upon hearing it, it was Qin Xiaoyun's soft voice. She slowly opened her eyes and smiled before she said anything.
"Good boy, sit down quickly."
The palace maid moved a stool for Qin Xiaoyun and then sat down. The Queen Mother propped herself up and raised her chin slightly, "Try the peaches sent as tribute from Huzhou. They were picked from the trees and sent to the palace within two days."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."
"My daughter is here to deliver perfume today."
The Queen Mother smiled even more when she mentioned the balm.
Sure enough, Qin Xiaoyun lived up to her reputation as a goddess, and everything she had in her hands was good. After using it for three days, the Queen Mother felt that her skin was smooth and clean as new, with a rosy white complexion.
The more she looked at Qin Xiaoyun, the happier she felt in her heart.
"You child has a heart."
Qin Xiaoyun refused to follow her, and drank two cups of tea with the Queen Mother at the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake.
He said casually, "This is the first time that my daughter has had new tea since she returned home."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly after hearing this, "You haven't had any new tea yet? The Ai family remembers that among the gifts from the emperor was the Yuqian Longjing that was newly paid as tribute this year."
Qin Xiaoyun's face showed a look of surprise at the right time, her mouth opened slightly, and she said at a loss: "All the things that the Holy Lord has given me are given to my family for safekeeping, and I have never used them."
"Never used it before?" The Queen Mother's tone was tight.
Qin Xiaoyun pretended to be nothing and nodded in agreement. It seemed like a meaningless joke, but it was actually a hidden thought. "But two days ago, I accidentally saw the gilt bracelet on my sister's wrist. It should be a gift from the emperor. It is also engraved with a phoenix pattern. Woolen cloth."
"Come here, choose the second Miss Qin to enter the palace. The Ai family wants to meet this person. Let's see what the charges are for using the things given by the eldest sister for personal use?"
"The Queen Mother." Qin Xiaoyun pretended to be frightened, stood up straight, and took two steps towards the Queen Mother worriedly, and then stopped with a tangled look on her face.
"Your Majesty, I made a mistake for a moment. I believe that the things my sister brought were not gifts from the emperor. I guess I was dazzled and saw the wrong things."
"You are a good boy. There is no need to bear the blame for your sister. I have met Qin Zhongwan a few times in the Ai family. He is really a mud-legged child from the countryside. He has a wild mind and is not as good as you. He grew up in Kyoto since he was a child and has a good upbringing. It’s good to have rules.”
The Queen Mother's disgusting words made Qin Xiaoyun curl her lips silently, and the curve quickly disappeared.
Her eyes were moist, as if she had been deeply wronged. She couldn't help crying when she heard the Queen Mother's words.
"The Queen Mother." She choked and said, "It would be great if my parents at home were as reasonable as the Queen Mother. I wouldn't have to be sent to a nunnery."
"nunnery?"
"The Queen Mother is unaware of something. My daughter previously..."
Naturally, she would not drag everything out, saying that she had been harmed by an adulterer and taken advantage of by Chu Mingchen. However, she did not expect that her sister at home would be so cruel and gave her parents advice and forced her into a nunnery.
