After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Needless to say, Qin Junyu sat in the upper seat, and even County Magistrate Chen could only sit below him. Qin Guanqing was more casual and sat down in a random seat. Xiao Yunzheng pulled Nian Susu along, and the two sisters sat together.

Luo Yuanxiang was left aside and felt very embarrassed; there was no place for her here.

County Magistrate Chen glanced at her several times in confusion, his eyes seemed to say: How could this maid be so ignorant of the rules?

He thought so in his heart, but didn't dare to say it out loud. After all, she was the Crown Princess's person, and it was not his turn to discipline her.

Luo Yuanxiang walked silently behind Nian Susu, just like a little maid, with her eyes and brows lowered, accompanying her master.

"Mr. Xiao, please sit for a moment. The room will be ready for you right away."

"Once your luggage is packed, you can check in directly."

Qin Junyu nodded approvingly and drank his tea.

"Lingling, how about we go out for a walk later? When I came here just now, I saw that there are many new things here that we don't have over there." Xiao Yuanxiang talked to Nian Susu with great interest.

Nian Susu nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, except for the trip to Xisu before, I haven't been to other places to play."

Yuhang is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Even the air is fresher than that of Shengjing.

Luo Yuanxiang was right behind them. The two of them were talking and laughing. No one thought of her, and no one cared about her.

Luo Yuanxiang's popularity has increased, he wouldn't really treat her as a maid, right?

After a while, the housekeeper of Yian Garden came to report that the rooms had been arranged and asked everyone to go and check whether they were satisfied.

County Magistrate Chen was originally going to accompany them, but he was called away due to something urgent, so he asked the butler to entertain the guests well.

The housekeeper was very considerate and led everyone to their residence, not forgetting to introduce: "Although Yian Garden is the house under the name of our master, he does not come here often. The lady and the young master of the mansion live in another house, which is closer to the government office."

"So gentlemen, there is no need to be restrained. Just treat this place as your own home. If you have any instructions, just call me."

Qin Guanqing laughed proudly: "I thought Lord Chen was good at talking, but I didn't expect that his subordinates are even better."

The butler nodded modestly: "Mr. Xiao, you are too kind. I have only worked with you for a long time and have learned a few trivial things."

Although he said it lightly, the housekeeper was actually secretly relieved.

Lord Chen specifically instructed that these were distinguished guests from Shengjing, and they were not people they could afford to offend, so he naturally had to serve them carefully.

Although I don't know his identity, I can tell he is extraordinary just by looking at his dress, temperament and demeanor.

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the entrance to the east wing.

The butler took a step forward, stood to one side and made a "please" gesture, inviting everyone to come in first.

After several people entered the yard, the housekeeper began to introduce them.

"The east wing is divided into four wings: east, west, south, and north. There is one for each of the two young masters and two young ladies."

"Mr. Xiao and Miss Nian are in the north and east rooms, Mr. Xiao Er and Miss Xiao are in the west and south rooms."

"The luggage has been delivered to your respective rooms. If there is anything missing or needed, you can go to the warehouse to get it."

Xiao Yunzheng discovered the problem: "What about Miss Luo? Where does she live?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Luo Yuanxiang at the same time.

Luo Yuanxiang was extremely embarrassed. She had clearly come here with them, but now she felt like an outsider. She wasn't even given a share of the room. What was the difference between this and living under someone else's roof?

The housekeeper was stunned, "Miss Luo?"

Since Xiao Yunzheng calls her "Miss Luo", she must not be a maid. No one who works with them can afford to offend her.

He quickly excused himself: "Miss Luo's room is... in the west wing. It's probably still being cleaned up. Please wait for a moment, Miss Luo."

Luo Yuanxiang could do nothing but say "It's okay" magnanimously.

The housekeeper found an excuse to slip away and quickly ordered someone to clean up a room in the west wing.

Because Luo Yuanxiang's room had not been tidied up yet, she could only stay in the east wing for now and went back to the east room with Nian Susu.

The two chatted for only a few words when someone from the west wing came and called Luo Yuanxiang away.

……

queen.

Qin Zehai followed the queen back to Zhongcui Palace. This time they did not hide from others because they had just returned from Xiangru Palace. They used the gimmick of visiting Qin Fengtian, and no one dared to say anything about his occasional visit.

"Tian'er's illness has been going on for such a long time, and there is no improvement. It won't be like this for the rest of his life." Qin Zehai lifted his robe and walked up the stairs.

The queen walked in front of him, her back was much thinner, he couldn't see her expression at the moment, he only heard her say calmly: "It's not bad to live like this for the rest of your life. How many people go further and further on this road, and in the end lose their original intentions and forget themselves."

"Although Tian'er only has the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old, he is pure and innocent. The only things that bother him every day are: why does my mother not let me have another bowl of ice brew, and why can the locust tree grow so tall but not die."

"To be a carefree child for a lifetime is something many people would never ask for. Tian'er can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Qin Zehai pondered her words thoughtfully.

After entering Zhongcui Palace, the Queen dismissed her attendants and closed the door as usual, and the two sat opposite each other behind a screen, separated by a coffee table.

The Queen's expression remained unchanged. Qin Zehai suspected that she had lost all hope and no longer held out hope that Qin Fengtian would ever return to normal.

But he didn't think so. He wanted to help Qin Fengtian fight for the position of crown prince and support him to inherit the throne. He couldn't just give up like that!

Of course, it would be difficult for him to accomplish anything alone.

"Second Mother, you..." Qin Zehai hesitated to speak.

The queen suddenly smiled, and looked at him with such gentle yet sad eyes.

She poured him a cup of tea and said, "Zehai, do you want to ask why I have such an idea?"

Qin Zehai said nothing.

"That's because you haven't seen how happy and joyful Tian'er is when he's making clay figures, playing house, chasing butterflies, and climbing trees."

"I can't help but think of the time when he was five or six years old, grabbing my arm and calling me mother."

The queen heaved a long and heavy sigh, "I thought there would be no such days again, but I didn't expect..."

Qin Zehai's eyebrows knitted tightly when he heard this. "Then... Second Mother, are you... willing to give up? We have worked so hard for so long, and fought for so long. If you let go now, won't all the efforts we have made go to waste?"

He was afraid that the queen would have the idea of ​​backing down. Then who would help him complete his plan?

The queen's smile turned cold, and even her eyes were no longer as gentle as when she mentioned Qin Fengtian. Instead, they were cunning and vicious, like a poisonous snake, spitting out its tongue, waiting for its prey to take the bait.

"Who said I was giving up?"
