"I?"

Seeing Qiu'er looking at him expectantly, Yu Huan was stunned at first, then looked at Qiu'er in front of him.

Qiu Er nodded heavily: "Yes, that's right, Madam, it's you!"

Yu Huan: “…”

"Your Highness, have you forgotten? Zhaodi was kept by your side, and in Zhaodi's heart, you valued her so much and helped her so many times. In her heart, I don't know how much she respects you and is loyal to you. In Zhaodi's heart, no matter what you say, whether it is important or not, Zhaodi treats it as an imperial decree."

"As long as it is something that Your Majesty has ordered, Zhaodi will be very careful and dedicated, and will do her best to help Your Majesty complete it!"

Seeing that Qiu'er had said this, it was obvious that Yu Huan was not a heartless person.

Of course, it was precisely because of Qiu'er's words that Yu Huan himself obviously knew that in front of him, Zhaodi respected him, was grateful to him, and was loyal to him.

However, Zhaodi always knew clearly the difference in status between herself and her. In front of her, she always put herself at the lowest status and dared not overstep the mark in the slightest.

This is also why, when she saw Zhaodi in that situation yesterday, she asked Qiu'er to stay by her side all the time. Even now, she asked Qiu'er to talk to her more. Obviously, it was the same reason.

But since Qiu'er said so, Yu Huan nodded. It seems that Qiu'er can't do this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to me.

Yu Huan's eyes fell on Zhao Di. After staring at her for a while, he nodded and said, "Well, I know about this matter. Let Zhao Di think about it alone for a while later, and I will go to see her again."

"what?"

Although Qiu'er couldn't handle Zhaodi's affairs well.

Only the Empress can take action in this matter. After all, in Zhaodi's heart, the Empress is the god in Zhaodi's heart. Given Zhaodi's current situation, let alone her, I'm afraid that no one in the palace, even the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, would tell her about her past affairs if they asked her about them in front of her.

But the Empress is different.

Upon hearing that the Majesty was actually going to take the initiative to look for Zhaodi, Qiu'er hesitated for a moment and murmured to herself, not knowing whether she was talking to herself or to Yu Huan: "Majesty, although I said that Zhaodi's current situation requires only you to come forward. But I did not ask you to lower your status..."

Your Majesty is a queen of noble status, the mother of the country.

No matter how much the queen values ​​Zhaodi, Zhaodi's identity is just that of a lowly slave!

The Empress actually lowered her status and took the initiative to find Zhaodi to ask for clarification. Didn't she summon Zhaodi to ask her?

This is what Qiuer meant.

Seeing that the queen values ​​Zhaodi so much, to be honest, Qiu'er is touched, but she will also stand in the queen's perspective and think for her.

Yu Huan certainly understood what Qiu'er meant. She stared at her for a while and suddenly smiled: "The key is, given Zhao Di's current situation, can she take the initiative to come and see me?"

"No need to think too much. Zhaodi's residence is not far from Kunning Palace. It's just a few steps away. I have been busy with the affairs of the harem since I entered the palace. I have never stepped out of the gate of Kunning Palace in the past few days. It's time to go out for a walk."

Hearing her own queen say this, Qiu Er did not dare to say anything else. She leaned forward and said respectfully, "Yes, queen."

"Your Highness is so kind to us servants. Both Zhaodi and I don't know how many lifetimes we have accumulated to be blessed to be able to serve a master like you who is so kind and generous and cares about us servants."

"Okay, stop flattering me. You have been serving me for so many years. How could you say sweet words to me?"

Qiu'er stuck out her tongue at Yu Huan with a playful look on her face: "Your Majesty, what I said was the truth! Besides, Your Majesty is very good! I have been serving you for so many years, and I am the one who has the most say in how good Your Majesty is!"

Qiu'er stuck out her tongue at Yu Huan and was about to run out.

As a result, when he was halfway through his run, he bumped head-on into someone coming in from inside.

Obviously, the person who came in from outside did not expect Qiu'er to suddenly bump into him, and then the two of them, one in front and one behind, bumped into each other head-on. Qiu'er was young after all, so she was not hurt at all after being hit, she just staggered.

On the other hand, the person who came in was different.

After all, Nanny Yue was old and not young anymore. She was almost knocked to the ground by Qiu'er, who was young and strong.

He staggered on the spot and groaned twice before he staggered back to his feet.

When Qiu Er saw that the person who bumped into her was Nanny Yue, she immediately lost her temper and pinched her waist: "Nanny Yue, what are you doing? You don't even look at the road when you walk! You saw me but you still bumped into me."

Qiu'er was joking with her own queen. Her attention was all on her own queen, which was obviously different from Nanny Yue.

But it was different with Nanny Yue. She came in from outside and her eyes fell on her. She clearly saw her but still bumped into her. If this wasn’t intentional, how could it be?

If it had been the previous Qiu'er, when she was in the Shangshu Mansion, it would be hard to tell whether Nanny Yue did it on purpose or unintentionally.

Even if Nanny Yue really bumped into her, Qiu'er obviously wouldn't dare to make any sound of dissatisfaction. How could she yell at Nanny Yue like she was doing now.

Not only Qiu'er herself knew, but Nanny Yue's status had changed a lot. Now the person in charge of the harem was her queen, and she was the closest servant to her queen. The servants in the harem were vying to curry favor with her.

As for Nanny Yue, she is just an ungrateful person who can never be tamed. No matter how good the Empress and I are to her, Nanny Yue is just an ungrateful person who can never be tamed and will never be of any use to the Empress.

Originally, Qiu'er was considerate of Nanny Yue because she was old and a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and because the Empress still valued Nanny Yue very much, so she was polite to her. Even if she was dissatisfied with Nanny Yue in her heart, she did not dare to show it.

But things are different now. Nanny Yue’s repeated actions have made Qiu’er completely lose confidence in her.

Not only Qiu'er had this idea, but Nanny Xianran Chengyue also had it.

She knew clearly that she was now living under someone else's roof. She was no longer in the Prime Minister's Mansion, when the Madam protected her and she, as the Madam's personal nanny, enjoyed unlimited glory. In the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone who saw her would respectfully call her "Nanny Yue".

but now--

I recalled the eldest lady's attitude towards me when she entered the palace that day.

It has also completely destroyed Nanny Yue's last bit of hope.

Facing Qiu'er's unhappy accusation, Nanny Yue did not get angry at Qiu'er as usual. She just apologized to Qiu'er with great guilt and embarrassment: "I'm so sorry, Qiu'er, I really didn't see you just now."

At this point, Nanny Yue's eyes fell on Yu Huan who was sitting on the high seat. She leaned forward respectfully and said, "Empress, Nanny Liu requests to see you."

"Madame Liu?"

When Yu Huan heard the name of Madam Liu, he immediately thought of the Queen Mother of the Cining Palace.

As a popular figure around Jiang Rong, Aunt Liu never leaves Jiang Rong's side easily. This time, she was able to make a special trip from Cining Palace to Kunning Palace...

Yu Huan frowned and said, "Please come in."

"Yes, ma'am."

Nanny Yue retreated respectfully.

Even Qiu'er became obedient at this moment and did not take the opportunity to cause trouble for Nanny Yue again.

Soon, Nanny Liu came in from outside led by Nanny Yue.

Even though Nanny Liu has served the Empress Dowager for many years, in the harem, not to mention the servants in the palace, even the concubines in the harem have to give her some face when they see her because she is a popular figure around the Empress Dowager.

After coming in, Madam Liu bowed to Yu Huan who was sitting on the high seat and said, "Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."

Yu Huan nodded and said, "Madam Liu, you suddenly come here at this time, but what does the Queen Mother want to tell me?"

As expected, she was worthy of being the one favored by the Queen Mother. Yu Huan was so smart that she could guess her intention without her saying much.

Madam Liu said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you."

When Yu Huan heard the words "The Queen Mother invites you", a hint of understanding flashed across the depths of his eyes.

For some reason, the Queen Mother had not been in contact with her Kunning Palace for several days, but today she suddenly asked Aunt Liu to come to her. Obviously...

Yu Huan didn't need to think too much, she knew the Queen Mother's intention very well.

After all, the other party is the Queen Mother, and she has already taken the initiative to send her close confidants to invite her. As a junior, Yu Huan naturally cannot act arrogantly even if she is the Queen of a country.

She immediately smiled and said, "Wait for me to pack up, then I'll go over. Please go back and report to the Queen Mother, and ask her to wait for a moment."

Aunt Liu Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

After Madam Liu left, Qiu'er stared at her back thoughtfully until she completely disappeared from the hall. Qiu'er first exchanged glances with Madam Yue who was standing in the center of the hall, then retracted her gaze from her mother to her own queen: "My queen, the queen mother has ignored our Kunning Palace for several days. Why did she suddenly ask Madam Liu to call you over?"

Yu Huan calmly raised her hand to adjust the loose hairpin on her bun, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Probably, it's because of the emperor."

The sisters Qingluan and Qingnu were women that the Queen Mother had gone to great lengths to bring back from outside the palace.

The Queen Mother's original intention was to use the sisters Qingluan and Qingnu to compete with the one in Weiyang Palace.
