Chapter 579 Empress Dowager
The tacit understanding between Qin Huai and Ayu is very high, almost surpassing Chijia.
They looked at each other and knew what the other wanted to do.
Ayu could feel that the two inner palace masters had no ill will towards them, so she felt at ease and asked them to help.
Both of them belonged to Empress Qin and were originally arranged by Emperor Minghua to protect them.
"Young Master Qin and Miss Wang, I have offended you."
The two of them were carried on their backs, and the inner palace master pointed a little, and quickly walked through the imperial garden, passing two beautiful palace concubines during the period.
It was hard for them, in the big night, dressed very coolly, standing under the moonlight, thinking of having an occasional visit with Emperor Minghua, but didn't want to, almost scared my soul away.
Concubine Gong saw the passing figure and screamed in fright: "There are assassins, catch the assassins!"
Another palace concubine clutched her chest and shivered: "Someone, help!"
They all saw it, it seemed that two assassins had kidnapped two people, for fear that the assassins would take both of her away, and they were all so frightened that their faces turned pale.
When they flew over the artificial lake, Ayu patted the inner palace master on the shoulder: "It's here."
The two stopped and put Ayu and Qin Huai down.
After seeing the building in front of them, the pupils of the two inner palace masters shrank, and they hurriedly walked away and hid again.
"Hey, the jade hasn't been given to you yet!" Ayu called for a long time, but the two of them didn't show up anymore. Even if they knew that Ayu already knew their location, they just switched to another location and pretended not to hear.
"Keep it for yourself." Qin Huai put away the jade and put it back into his pocket for Ayu.
Now, Ayu's pocket has become more and more delicate. It is no longer a simple crossbody, but wrapped around it and tied around the waist. The waist chain is a colorful bead chain made by Qin Huai. The pocket has three layers. The embroidery is Ma Shi's craftsmanship, but the edge sealing is Qin Huai's craftsmanship.
The color and style all match the clothes that Ayu wears, which complements her complexion very well.
"It was promised that I would pay them, and I have a lot of awareness like this. Forget it, I will give it next time. We have to go back anyway."
The two inner palace masters who were hiding in the dark but could hear the voice: "…"
The little guy must be from a royal merchant family, right? Maybe she has a close relationship with Concubine Jing.
It will count!
Ayu made up his mind and stopped tangled, pulling Qin Huai onto the boat by the artificial lake.
It is late at night, but the artificial lake is still sparkling, the bright moon hangs alone, and it is reflected in the lake water, making people unable to distinguish between heaven and earth for a while.
A lot of windproof lanterns were lit around the boat. The lights didn't go out, but the lanterns swayed, giving the smell of dust.
This is a water house in the shape of a boat, about the size of a small house, Ayu and Qin Huai stood at the door, bowed first, and then said, "I am Wang Ruyu from Hujia Village, Nanhe Town, Wangbei County, He is Qin Huai from the Qin family in Wanning City, we took the liberty to visit the door, we have something to ask for, and please help."
Ayu didn't know Qin Huai's family background, so he could only say that he was the Qin family in Wanning City.
Qin Huai didn't ask who the people in the boat were. Anyway, Ayu wanted to find him, so he followed.
After waiting for a long time, no one came out to speak.
Ayu was a little anxious, and asked in the space: "Elf, is the person you said really in here?"
【Don’t worry, there are three people inside, you wait. 】
If the person inside doesn't answer, it will buy a stinky ball and let the cub throw it into it.
Before Dango was put into practice, the curtain outside the boat was lifted.
A person who looked like a palace maid came out, first looked at Ayu a few times, and then asked, "Do you know what this place is? How dare you trespass!"
"There are rumors in the outside world that there are two major things in the palace that are not easy to mess with. One is the sage of the ninety-five, and the other is the saint who lives in a secluded place." A Yu said decisively, "If I guess correctly, the boat is a small curie. Yes, it must be the Holy Mother, the Holy Aunt today!"
Saint Nun, the name given to her by the queen mother, many people know inside the palace, but few people outside the palace.
"Presumptuous! Where did you come from, little girl!" The palace maid shouted angrily, her right hand became a claw, and she was about to grab Ayu.
"Aoba, let someone in." A gentle voice suddenly came from the boat.
Ayu raised his chin towards the palace maid named Aoba, and deliberately made a domineering look, so that the maid was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and this time she lifted her skirt and went in.
Qin Huai also stepped up to keep up, looking sideways to see A Yu pretending to be savage, the corners of his mouth could not help twitching.
Whenever he sees what kind of Ayu, he feels extremely cute in his heart.
At first, Ayu didn't know who she was looking for, she followed Danzi's guidance.
Due to the many restrictions in the palace, the dumplings could not penetrate all the courtyards in the palace. Only when Ayu got close could they know the identities of these people one by one.
Entering the boat, Ayu found that it was really too simple and elegant, there were not many gorgeous decorations, and even the wood was not the best.
It is simple, but not shabby. For example, on the left and right sides of the boat, the famous masterpieces look at the simplicity of the painting style, but the prices on the market today are already amazing for ordinary people.
"Girl, you said you came from Hujia Village? But more than a hundred years ago, where was General Hu's hometown?" Behind a screen, two figures appeared, one was lying on his side, the other was beating the author's legs.
In the hazy, I can see the outline of a woman, and the voice in my ears is more than elegant, but I can also hear the traces of the years.
After all, the queen mother is over 60 years old. Even if it is properly maintained, there are still traces of time.
"Yes, there is a temple of General Hu in our village, and there is a temple fair every month." Speaking of Hujia Village, Ayu's words become more and more, and he can't stop talking.
The queen mother was just casually chatting, and she didn't want to keep talking like this, but Ayu dragged her to chat together, and sometimes asked: "Do you know? You don't know, then I'll tell you! What, you listen too. But, wow, you are amazing, you know so far in the palace, if I don't go out, I will never know..."
At first, the queen mother was reluctant to say it, but later, for some reason, Ayu said it and sat up directly.
Not only did she have the screen removed, but she also set up two tables and asked Aoba to prepare refreshments for the two of them.
Ayu sat down, took two bites, praised the food, and talked to the queen mother.
As she spoke, she sat down beside the queen mother, and pushed aside all the people who had pressed their heads to the queen mother.
The man glared at Ayu, obviously disliking her very much.
Ayu didn't care either, and brought her the refreshment in his hand: "This lady in the palace, you've worked hard. Have some sweet tea?"
Hearing the words "Sister Palace Maiden", the woman became even more angry.
"Miss Wang, this is our Princess Ruyi." Qingye reminded Ayu in a low voice.
Princess Ruyi, the one who was brought back to the palace not long ago, is said to be the queen's biological daughter.
Hearing this, Qin Huai also raised his eyebrows and glanced at her.
The face is normal, and then wearing plain clothes, looking at it, it is not as good as the maid next to him.
"Ruyi, Aijia is tired, you go back first. You don't need to wait here today."
"Grandma Huang!" Princess Ruyi stomped her feet and looked reluctant.
The Queen Mother stopped looking at her: "Let's go."
Princess Ruyi had to go.
After she left, Ayu smiled and leaned closer to the queen mother: "Queen mother, I think you look like my grandma!"
"Presumptuous!" Aoba couldn't help scolding again, "Your grandma, just an old country woman, dare to compare herself with the queen mother!"
