The most beautiful lady in the harem

Qingqing Zijin has always followed her master closely. Although she is worried and anxious for her, they will go wherever her master is.

Therefore, they believed whatever Qin Liuse said.

Hearing Qin Liuse say this, and thinking back to the night before, when they made love all night, this kind of thing couldn't be fake, so she believed that they were fine.

But the Empress Dowager didn't think so.

After dinner in the evening, Qin Liuse went to visit the Empress Dowager every morning and evening as usual.

When the Empress Dowager learned that Emperor Yongjia had returned to the palace on his own and did not take Qin Liuse with him, she still looked puzzled and even a little surprised.

The old lady also thought that Emperor Yongjia came in a hurry this time to take her back.

After all, this time when Emperor Yongjia came, he didn't even bring Zhu Wanxi with him, but only brought two personal guards who rode here at full speed.

It takes a whole day to get from the imperial city to the Yuanyang Spring by carriage, but if you ride a horse and ride fast, you can get there in less than half a day.

It can be seen that Emperor Yongjia came to Yuanyang Spring in a hurry, but he did not expect that he would leave after just one day. It can also be seen that he took time out of his busy schedule to come here.

When the Empress Dowager saw the two of them coming to pay their respects to her in the morning, Qin Liuse's face flushed and she felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up from the nap in the evening, I saw Qin Liuse coming to pay his respects again.

The Empress Dowager was also puzzled for a moment and couldn't figure out what these young people were doing.

At night, candles were lit, and the old aunt massaged the hands and feet of the great empress dowager. The great empress dowager was puzzled, so she said to the old aunt beside her, "What do you mean by this young man nowadays?"

"I looked at the unconcealable marks on Qin's neck... It was obvious that they had reconciled, so why did the emperor leave alone?"

But Qin Liuse didn't intentionally reveal the red mark left by Emperor Yongjia. She wanted to hide it as tightly as possible, and she had already chosen her highest stand-up collared jacket to wear, but it still couldn't be hidden.

If the movement was a little bigger, it would inevitably show from the collar. I was just annoyed. It was a pity that I didn't bring a scarf when I came to Yuanyang Spring.

The Empress Dowager was an experienced person, so she naturally knew what it meant to fight at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, so she had this idea.

After all, that mark can't be left there just because of a quarrel.

The old aunt gently massaged the Empress Dowager's feet and said, "I saw the Imperial Concubine coming over in the evening and was also wondering."

As the old aunt spoke, she looked up at the Grand Empress Dowager and smiled, "But I think they must have reconciled. Maybe it was the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort who made their own arrangements. It would be a filial act for the Imperial Noble Consort to stay a few more days and spend more time with you, Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager glanced at her old aunt and said with a smile, "The Emperor's feelings for Qin are obvious..."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to see her specially, stayed overnight and then went back. This shows how much he loves her.

The Empress Dowager thought for a moment and said, "This Qin is also a wonderful person. Ordinary concubines would like to stick to the emperor every day, but she is open-minded and comes when she is asked. She is also willing to accompany me in this desolate mountain and wilderness, facing only mountains and rivers all day long, with nothing else around. She doesn't complain about being bored, nor is she in a hurry to go back."

The old aunt changed a hot water bottle for the Grand Empress Dowager, covered her knees, and said with a smile, "You are so lucky, Grand Empress Dowager. The emperor is filial, and the future queen is also filial. This trip back to the capital is really a good choice."

The Empress Dowager smiled and shook her head, and said with emotion, "There is nothing I can do about it. I just believe that my children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

-

But the Empress Dowager was right. The Yuanyang Spring is remote and not on a mountain where one can enjoy a great view, so life there is indeed rather dull.

But Qin Liuse was happy to live such a dull life in a variety of ways. When she had nothing to do, she would either cook for the Empress Dowager or arrange for the maids in the Empress Dowager's room to play mahjong.

In the end, no matter how much trouble she had, she could do it, so much so that after a few days, the Empress Dowager looked at her with even kinder eyes.

As November approaches, the weather gets colder day by day.

On this day, the wind was chilly and even though the sun was high in the afternoon, it was like an ice plate and there was no warmth at all.

Qin Liuse held her cheeks and sat on the doorstep, feeling the coolness despite being warmly dressed. She looked at the sky outside and felt very bored.

She didn't like taking naps in the winter, so she was thinking about what to do.

After thinking about it, I decided to grill some meat for everyone, or have it as dinner.

Therefore, when the Empress Dowager woke up from her nap today, she saw the yard was bustling with activity. It was Qin Liuse who was arranging everyone around the fire, setting up the iron rack, and barbecuing.

In preparation for tonight's barbecue, Qin Liuse specially changed into a dress with narrow sleeves.

At this moment, he was standing outside the veranda in the yard, directing the maid to arrange the freshly delivered meat slices, and directing Qingqing to prepare the sauce.

Young people have no taboos, but they still have to take care of elderly people like the Empress Dowager. Elderly people don’t eat much meat and probably only eat a few bites of meat.

The sauce has to be made with some care, the meat slices have to be marinated so that they don't have too much mutton smell and greasiness, so that the Empress Dowager can eat it.

In fact, Qin Liuse couldn't be sure whether the Empress Dowager would eat it or not, so she got some vegetables to roast for her, and planned to roast them until they melt in her mouth, making it easier for her to eat.

In the kitchen over there, radish porridge was also being stewed for the Empress Dowager. After all, it didn't matter if the old lady didn't eat it, but she was happy to see the fun.

The Empress Dowager really loved being lively, and when she saw the scene outside, she couldn't help but grin. She quickly asked her old aunt to help her put on a few more clothes, and put on a fluffy headband, so that she could go out for a walk.

The maids in the Empress Dowager's room are all old people who have served for many years. They are master and servant to the old people, but they also have a lot of feelings for them. The same is true for Qingqing Zijin and Qin Liuse.

Therefore, the main force of today's barbecue are these maids.

Everyone was in a happy mood. Plate after plate of barbecue was brought over. After seeing Qin Liuse taste it, one or two of them became less polite.

I took the meat slices, wrapped them with vegetables and put them into my mouth. On such a cold winter day, eating freshly grilled meat slices is simply a great pleasure in life.

The Empress Dowager said with emotion, "It would be so lively if some of the little great-grandchildren were here too."

"The Emperor is here, Your Majesty, the little princess and the little prince are here too!" The maid outside ran in joyfully, first told the Empress Dowager, and then said to Qin Liuse with a festive face.

It’s true, speak of the devil and he will appear.

Qin Liuse looked towards the gate of the courtyard in surprise. Not long after, she saw the wet nurse holding the little prince and princess walking in behind Emperor Yongjia.

"mother!"

"Mother~"

The little prince and the little princess kicked their short legs and twisted their little buttocks. The wet nurse saw that the yard was flat and free of clutter, so she put the two little masters down.

After the little prince and princess were freed, they immediately ran to their mother.

The two of them were wearing three layers of clothes inside and three layers outside, and they ran over like two round dumplings.

Qin Liuse was only halfway through her meal when she immediately stuffed the piece of meat in her mouth, wiped her hands, squatted down, and hugged the two children on her left and right.

He kept sticking it on their faces.

For a moment, all the maids in the courtyard paid their respects to Emperor Yongjia, and the people brought by Emperor Yongjia also paid their respects to the Empress Dowager and Qin Liuse.

After getting up, the nurse smiled and said, "The two young masters were so happy to know that they were going out of the city to see the Imperial Concubine. They didn't sleep much on the carriage all the way, and they just wanted to come here to see you, the Empress."

It was the first time for the little prince and princess to leave the palace, so they were naturally excited.

The Empress Dowager called her two little great-grandchildren over, hugged them again and again, and then looked at Emperor Yongjia and said happily, "I was just talking about you, and you're here. You really are in sync with each other."

At the same time, he said with disdain, "It's only been a few days, only five or six days, and you came here again. Don't you think it's troublesome?"

"My grandson doesn't think it's troublesome." Emperor Yongjia said lightly, but his eyes were directed towards Qin Liuse.

And Qin Liuse happened to be looking at him.

The two people's eyes met.

Although Qin Liuse wanted to act as if nothing had happened, she couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
