Me and my fantasy world

Chapter 187 Small talk

In the royal garden, the queen and a maid were quickly shuttling between the courtyards.

The queen was dressed simply, in a snow-white dress, holding a basket in her hand, with a panicked look and a quick pace, and walked all the way to the courtyard where Lingyi was. The maid behind her was even out of breath, but she didn't dare to ask the queen to walk slower, so she could only follow desperately, panting.

When she reached the door of Lingyi Courtyard, the queen suddenly stopped, opened the basket and checked the items again, then covered her chest, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her breathing.

"Ouch!"

The queen was still trying to catch her breath when someone bumped into her from behind. She turned around and saw that the maid had already run away with her face flushed. When she saw that she had bumped into the queen, she was speechless for a moment, her eyes darting around in panic, and she knelt down immediately without saying a word.

Seeing this, the queen quickly reached out to support the maid's arm, not letting her kneel down, and smiled and said, "No need to kneel, it's okay, I left too hastily."

"No, no, no, it's my fault that I didn't keep up with the Queen's pace." Seeing that the Queen not only did not blame her, but even seemed to blame herself, the maid was frightened and quickly knelt on the ground, begging for the Queen's forgiveness.

The queen did not stop her this time, and let the maid kneel down, just shaking her head helplessly. Since entering the palace, such things have been common. She herself was born in the common people, and her physical fitness was naturally much better than that of ordinary palace maids. Therefore, such things happened frequently, and the queen did not complain.

But the maids were not at ease. In their minds, it was their fault that they could not keep up with their master. Perhaps this form of admitting mistakes could make them feel a little more at ease.

The queen did not pursue the matter and said calmly, "Get up. Just be more careful next time."

"Yes, I know." The maid slowly stood up, but still bent her waist, not daring to look up at the queen.

The queen still shook her head in dissatisfaction. No matter how long she had lived in this deep palace, she still didn't like the feeling of being so high and mighty. "Let's go. We have to go and come back quickly."

After saying that, the queen immediately turned around and walked into the courtyard where Lingyi lived, and the maid followed the queen in. When the queen came to the door and was about to reach out and knock on the door, the maid beside her immediately stepped forward, grabbed the door handle and was about to open it.

But the door was locked. No matter how hard the maid tried, she couldn't open it. The maid didn't believe it and tried to open it again, but the door only made a creaking sound and didn't open.

"What, what's going on..." The maid looked at the locked door, not knowing what to do for a moment.

But this time, the sounds of girls playing and laughing were heard in the room.

"Sheila! Don't go too far!"

"You are the one who is going too far. You have occupied half of Xiaoyi's body!"

"What are you talking about! It's Bao Bao and I's turn tonight, you passed it a long time ago!"

"That time doesn't count, that time doesn't count!"

"Sister Xiaojiu, Sheila is playing tricks!"

"Xiaojiu! Doudou is going too far!"

"Get out of the way! Xiaoyi is mine!"

"do not want!"

Listening to the "joyful" sounds in the room, the queen also smiled secretly and said, "Oh, this child is so popular. A Zheng and A Wu don't have this blessing."

But the maidservant beside her pouted and complained to the queen in a harsh tone: "Your Majesty, they actually ignored you and stopped you at the door. This is a serious crime and they should be punished..."

"Oh, forget it." The queen stretched out her hand to interrupt the maid's words, "I don't want to interfere too much in the matter of that child. He is the child of our benefactor. In terms of courtesy, perhaps he should be treated at a higher level than Azheng and Awu."

Hearing this, the maid was also stunned, and quickly replied: "My lady, the courtesy above the two princes, this..."

In a trance, the queen pinched her chin and replied: "Hey, it seems that if there are more than two princes, then we are royal relatives, so it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty." The maid wanted to dissuade her, but the queen reached out her hand again to stop her.

"It's okay, these guys are just having too much fun." The Queen shook her head and laughed, "Well, forget it, you go down first and guard outside the courtyard. No one is allowed to come in, except A Zheng, A Wu and A Ya, understand?"

"Yes." Although the maid was puzzled, she did not dare to ask more questions and had to agree.

"Also, if someone breaks in and you can't stop them, that's fine. I will punish the intruder then." After the queen finished speaking, she slowly walked to the door, stretched out her hand and gently knocked on Lingyi's door.

The maid listened to the queen's words and looked up at her blankly. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was the queen who was high above her or the sister who was protecting her. After a moment, she came to her senses, hurriedly agreed, and ran towards the courtyard gate.

The queen finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the footsteps of the maid gradually moving away: "Alas, what good is there in this deep palace?"

Unconsciously, the queen recalled the scene of herself and the emperor staying together in the market. Although their life was hard, it was also peaceful. But who knew...

After a while, Lingyi's door was still not opened, but the Queen's thoughts were slowly brought back by the noise of the girls in the room. She smiled awkwardly and said, "These little girls, are they having too much fun?" Then, the Queen knocked heavily on the door and shouted into the room, "Xiaojiu, is Xiaoyi awake?"

"It's over, Queen!"

"Hurry, hurry, put it away, put it away."

"Wipe it clean, don't let anyone see it. Bao Bao! Spit out Xiao Yi's feet!"

"Huh? Why?"

Listening to the noise in the room, a non-existent drop of sweat dripped from the Queen's forehead, and she complained, "Spit it out? You guys are not really going to eat Xiaoyi, are you?"

After a while, a circular pattern slowly appeared in the room, then the circle broke and slowly disappeared in a clockwise direction, and the door slowly opened.

It was Xiaojiu who opened the door. After pushing the door open, she placed her right hand on her left hand and placed it on her lower abdomen. Standing in the center of the girls, she looked graceful and elegant, with the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

On the left of Xiaojiu stood Pegasus and Sheila, clumsily imitating Xiaojiu's posture. On the right stood Doudou and Baobao. Doudou was nothing special, but the crystal liquid hanging from Baobao's mouth was particularly eye-catching.

"Your Majesty, I am sorry for my rudeness." Xiao Jiu bowed and apologized with a smile. The other four girls followed Xiao Jiu's action and bowed slightly to the queen.

After seeing this, the queen raised her lips slightly and said in a slightly nitpicking tone: "Since you know you are wrong, why don't you kneel?"

If it were an ordinary commoner, they would probably be terrified, but Xiaojiu was not afraid at all, because they were not facing an ordinary queen.

Xiaojiu straightened up confidently and replied, "Because Your Majesty doesn't like that kind of thing in the palace, but the Queen has come from afar and we were indeed unable to welcome her in person, so I acted on my own initiative. I hope Your Majesty won't blame me." After saying this, Xiaojiu bowed again to apologize.

But this time the Queen complained: "Hey, what you said is really polite, hurry up and get out of the way, are you going to chat outside?"

After hearing what the Queen said, Xiao Jiu immediately covered her face and laughed secretly, turned slightly to the side, and made way for her: "Your Majesty, you are joking. Please come in."

The other four girls also slowly raised their heads and cooperated with Xiaojiu to make way for the queen to enter. Bao Bao closed the door. The moment the door was closed, a ring immediately appeared on the door. This time it rotated counterclockwise and slowly emerged, just like a lock that ended and connected.

After the queen entered the room, she walked all the way to the round table in the room, moved a bench and sat down, like an ordinary citizen, put the basket in her hand on the table, spread her legs, supported her left hand on her knees, and placed her right hand on the table, closing her palms and fanning herself quickly. The scene was like a strong man enjoying the cool in a tavern.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Jiu smiled slightly, and immediately brought a bowl of tea and said, "Your Majesty, please."

"Oh, no, no, it's so hot." The queen immediately rejected Xiaojiu, and she moved her right hand faster, complaining, "Don't you feel hot? You can even make tea."

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. This is specially prepared by Xiao Yi for you. You will definitely like it."

"Hmm? Xiaoyi prepared it? Come on, bring it here for me to try." When the Queen heard that it was related to "Zero One", she couldn't wait to reach out and snatch the tea bowl from Xiaojiu's hand.

Xiao Jiu did not shy away and immediately handed it to the Queen. The moment the Queen took the tea bowl, she immediately felt a cool feeling coming from her palm and spreading to her arm.

Like a child who has never seen anything new, the queen's eyes sparkled with a desire for the unknown. She immediately smiled and said, "What is this? It's so cool and comfortable."

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "This is the Tianshan snow water that Xiao Yi collected from the Andesaro Mountains. Just put a spoonful of it in the boiling hot tea bowl, and the temperature of the tea will drop to the temperature of snow water very quickly. After drinking it, you will feel refreshed and cool. It is a good medicine for relieving summer heat. Although summer is over now, I believe that this will be an indispensable and rare treasure for the queen."

After listening to Xiaojiu's explanation, the queen immediately became interested. She immediately put the tea into her mouth and drank it. Instantly a cool feeling spread throughout her body. Her originally hot and restless heart seemed to freeze at this moment like the snowflakes on the Tianshan Mountains, calm and comfortable.

"I didn't expect that Xiaoyi had such a rare treasure prepared for me. I'm so happy." The queen praised highly and then drank the tea in the bowl in big gulps.

Seeing the queen's satisfied expression, Xuela approached Xiaojiu and whispered, "Xiaojiu, where does the Tianshan snow water come from? Isn't that the snow that Xiaoyi collected from the snow mountain? Usually Xiaoyi puts some in it when he wants to drink iced drinks. There are a lot of that stuff on the snow mountain. Is it a rare thing?"

Xiao Jiu immediately shook her head and said, "Hush, it's good to make the Queen happy. Otherwise, if she knew we were going to do something to Xiao Yi, do you think she would let us stay here?"

After hearing this, Sheila nodded in sudden enlightenment and gave a thumbs up, praising, "That makes sense."

However, the two thought it was a whisper, but the queen sitting opposite raised the corner of her mouth confidently, it seemed that she had heard a little bit, but she did not intend to pursue it, after all, she came here for more important things.

After the queen put down the tea bowl, she looked at Xiaojiu and then her gaze swept back. Sheila, Pegasus, Doudou and Baobao were standing straight, like children waiting to be trained.

The queen hid her face and smiled secretly, then waved her hand and said, "Why are you guys so rigid? Just do what you need to do. There's no need to be so reserved."

"Really?" Bao Bao immediately shook her head and her eyes seemed like a pair of big light bulbs, flashing with eagerness.

But Doudou beside her suddenly coughed lightly, and Baobao immediately calmed down. Then Doudou immediately bowed to the queen and apologized: "I'm sorry, Queen, Baobao doesn't know the etiquette, please..."

"Oh, don't talk about etiquette, just do what you need to do. I don't know what to do if you keep standing here in such a rigid manner." The queen immediately interrupted Doudou and shook her hand with a slightly disgusted expression, "I've been in this palace and you're always talking about etiquette. It's so annoying. Baobao, go ahead and play if you want to. It's okay."

Hearing this, Bao Bao's eyes lit up again, but this time she turned back to look at Xiao Jiu calmly. Xiao Jiu nodded and said, "The Queen has said so, so you should go and accompany Xiao Yi first."

"Good!" Bao Bao was the first to shout in surprise, and immediately threw herself into the Queen's arms, rubbing against the Queen's thigh like a clingy little wolfhound, "The Queen is such a good person! Hehehe."
