Chapter 172 (1/2)
Chu Yuehua stood in front of the queen and saw that only herself and her were left in the Qifeng hall. She wanted to suddenly become quiet.
Just now the excitement has been swept away, which makes people unconsciously feel oppressive.
”You're a little nervous to leave you alone!” asked the queen with a smile on her face.
”People's daughter...” Chu Yuehua had a decent smile on her face and tried to make her expression look natural. ”The empress is dignified. People's daughter has never seen it before, and she inevitably feels a little awe in her heart.”
”You are very good!” the queen smiled. ”How many children are too nervous to speak in front of the palace. I heard that you are the cousin of Zhou Guibin, and your father is Chu huaiyun?”
”If you go back to the queen, that's the name of your late father.”
”My late father...” the queen pondered, ”yes! Your parents are dead now. In fact, you don't know. Your mother was very beautiful when she was young!”
Then he thought of something: ”at that time, your mother was very famous in the whole capital, not only because she was the eldest lady of the government, but also because the Empress Dowager liked her very much at that time.
All kinds of banquets in the palace will never forget your mother. Later, even the ritual officials knew to prepare the position of Miss Zhou. ”
She smiled again: ”but at that time, the palace was still young and had not married the emperor. Your mother didn't know me very well. I was also shy at that time and had a different temperament from your mother.”
When she said these past things, it was like telling a very kind old friend. Chu Yuehua knew that the person she told was her mother.
But this was said from the Queen's mouth, which made her feel that she didn't dare to answer at will. She could only listen quietly.
Who knows, she said a lot, and finally surprised: ”you see, a person in this palace is saying that your mother died early. I'm afraid you don't have any impression. If I tell you so, you don't feel it.”
Chu Yuehua quickly saluted: ”it's the people's daughter who spared her interest. It's all because the people's daughter doesn't know how to relieve her fatigue.”
”What's the matter? You can still listen to the palace here quietly! You didn't see the girl Anping. I said I would find a chance to slip away after a while.”
”That's because my mother dotes on the princess on weekdays. The princess should abide by the rules wherever she goes. She will naturally relax here.”
The queen nodded, ”that's right.”
Then she calmed down again. She probably saw that Chu Yuehua wouldn't take the initiative to say anything at all. The queen smiled and said, ”forget it, it's nothing to leave you alone with me.”
Originally, I thought she would be sent back to the Showa hall. Who knows, she turned her head: ”let mother Chang take you to the backyard! It's time for Anping to come. She must be very happy to have you with her.”
Although she met Princess Anping, the queen didn't know. Why should she be so happy?
Generally, the young lady of the official family plays with the princess. Isn't that all kinds of flattery?
But since she opened the mouth, Chu Yuehua naturally had no reason to refuse, and her face was still a smile without waves: ”yes!”
When she left, the queen gave her a deep look and leaned into the imperial concubine's couch.
”Empress, do you really want to do this?” a female official of some age came out from the back curtain and hesitated to ask.
The queen rubbed her temples and frowned slightly.
