Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 040. Two chickens
"Have you never heard of 'No Wind No Waves'? It must be because Yan Yuan was raising a woman outside, that Kaiser reminded me like this. "
No, definitely not. If Yan Yuan really gave the heartlock to Xiao San, she would suffer a huge loss.
"Come, Xiao Yue, let's quickly go in."
She hurriedly entered the longevity palace, completely forgetting what she had planned along the way. It was only until she arrived at the entrance of the main hall of the longevity palace that she suddenly remembered.
"Where's Tian Xin? Why hasn't she come?"
Inside the main hall, the worried voice of the Empress Mother reached Liu Ruo Qing's ears.
"royal sister-in-law, Tian Xin is here."
Liu Ruo Qing answered immediately, following that, she limped and with Xiao Yue's support, she stepped into the hall, completely unlike when she was at the entrance of the longevity palace, lively and nimble.
Yan Yuan's gaze suddenly turned deeper, seeing her limping over to Empress Mother with difficulty, he knew what she wanted to do.
This damned woman, she had already acted pitifully quite a few times in front of royal sister-in-law.
Just a moment ago, they were still alive and kicking outside the door, and now they're lame again?
Yan Shuo also noticed the small change in Liu Ruo Qing and the smile deepened in her eyes. It seemed that this little aunt of his really did not intend to let go of Ninth Imperial Uncle.
First it was to sow dissension in front of him, but now it was his mother who came up behind him. Was he trying to act pitiful?
Yan Shuo suddenly noticed that Liu Ruo Qing had extended his hands out on purpose, the ten fingers on his hands were wrapped in gauze, and there was even a faint color of blood on them.
The corner of Yan Shuo's mouth hooked up. It seemed that someone was going to sue royal uncle in front of his mother.
Sure enough, when Empress Mother saw that it was so difficult for Liu Ruo Qing to walk, all ten fingers of her hands were still wrapped in bandages, and she immediately said: "Tian Xin, your leg wounds are already more than half a month old, why are you still walking like this? I'll get the imperial physician to take a look at you later."
The Empress Mother said as he gestured to the palace maids beside him: "Hurry up and greet the wangfei."
"Yes, Empress Mother."
Liu Ruo Qing laughed complacently in her heart. With the support of the palace maid, she sat down on a chair.
Then, he used a finger covered in gauze to twist the hair around his ears and said: "Thank you royal sister-in-law, Tian Xin's injury is no longer serious, in two days she will be fine."
"It's still fine even though things are like this. I'll get the imperial physician to examine you later."
Empress Mother's slightly reprimanding voice contained a hint of concern that couldn't be ignored, "Oh right, what happened to your finger? How did it become like this?"
Hearing Empress Mother's question, a smile of satisfaction quickly flashed past Liu Ruo Qing's eyes. Only, she was too calm and collected, and did not let Empress Mother find out. However, Yan Yuan, who had been paying attention to her every word and action, had completely seen this smile.
Seeing Liu Ruo Qing pretended to be flustered and put her finger behind him, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No …. "Nothing."
Seeing her hiding like this, and thinking back to when she went to visit her in the Duke Palaces, how she defended Yan Yuan several times, Empress Mother immediately guessed at something.
Her gaze was full of reproach as she looked at Yan Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Ol'ninth, did you bully Tian Xin again? You promised Wailing Home a few days ago, how did you forget about it now?"
He had already expected that Liu Ruo Qing's move would cause the Empress Mother to turn towards him. Yan Yuan could look down on everyone and ignore everyone, but she was extremely respectful to the Empress Mother, just like how she treated her own mother.
His gaze turned towards Liu Ruo Qing as he spoke with a gloomy face: "royal sister-in-law, Chendi did not bully her."
"Then tell me, what happened to Tian Xin's finger? Could it be that if she just sat there well, her finger would be injured? "
Liu Ruo Qing was laughing so hard that her intestines were tied up, especially when she saw Yan Yuan's sullen look. She really wanted to run out and set off the firecrackers.
There were several times when she thought in her heart, could this Empress Mother really not see that she was pretending, or did he really do it on purpose to help her? No matter what, he was fighting with over three thousand women to get to the position of Empress Mother, one step at a time, was it really that easy to be tricked by her?
However, at this time, she had no interest in knowing whether Empress Mother truly knew or pretended not. All she wanted to know was whether Empress Mother was on her side or not.
Thinking about that, she immediately behaved well in front of Empress Mother: "royal sister-in-law, don't blame Prince, it really has nothing to do with Prince, it was Tian Xin who was too stupid, I originally wanted to embroider a handkerchief for Prince, but who would have thought that my hand would be tied like that."
"Embroidery a handkerchief for Ninth Brother?"
Empress Mother's blaming face just now revealed a few smiles, "This is indeed new, let me take a look after the embroidery is done."
Yan Yuan was originally full of anger, but after hearing Liu Ruo Qing's words, the bottom of her eyes couldn't help but rise a trace of ridicule and disdain.
"Yes, royal sister-in-law."
Seeing Liu Ruo Qing take out a square handkerchief that was folded neatly and handed it over to Empress Mother, she pretended to be bashful as she pursed her lips and said: "royal sister-in-law, Tian Xin's embroidery is bad, please do not be offended."
Empress Mother received it with a smile. He then glanced at Yan Yuan and slowly opened the handkerchief.
Yan Shuo also went over with interest, almost laughing out loud when he saw Liu Ruo Qing's masterpiece.
This … It really seemed like it came from the hands of a Ninth Aunt like him, too … Too impressive.
Yan Shuo forcibly retracted the smile in his eyes, and looked at Yan Yuan, and thought that Yan Yuan was holding onto a handkerchief, and felt that … Very awkward.
"This... These two chicks are quite well embroidered. "
The Empress Mother gave his an evaluation as his expression looked a little strange.
"Chicken? Where are the chickens? "
Liu Ruo Qing stood up from the chair, walked over to Empress Mother and pointed at the two little chickens Empress Mother was talking about, then said: "royal sister-in-law, how does this look like a little chicken?
What kind of eyesight did these people have? She had done it based on the drawing of the Winged Bird that Xiao Yue had found, so although it was a little different, it had nothing to do with a little chicken.
"To... A wing sparrow? "
The corner of Yan Shuo's lips twitched even more. He originally wanted to give some face, but it was really … His Ninth Aunt's funny skills were too great.
It truly was a perfect match for the Royal Uncle, the Cold-faced King.
Yan Yuan was also excited by Yan Shuo's look, his gaze turned back to the handkerchief, it was not like Yan Shuo who did not laugh and wanted to do so, but remained expressionless.
The mockery in his eyes deepened.
"Then I guess …" These two green objects should be the connecting branches. "
Yan Shuo covered his lips, coughed twice, forcefully suppressing the burst of laughter.
