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

"People are almost at the temple, why are you still looking?"

Qiu Minjing and Yang Zhitao knew who was speaking so bluntly without looking back.

Ma Chunxi crossed her arms, curled her lips and said, "Don't worry, she is the queen. No one dares to let her suffer even if she goes to pray for blessings. Instead of worrying about her, you should think about what you should do if the emperor dies of illness like this."

"Hey!" Qiu Minjing was frightened and hurriedly pulled her to the side, worried that the palace servants in Zhongling Palace would hear it and tell the emperor. Cursing the emperor is a serious crime, especially under the current special circumstances, some things cannot be said casually.

"Sister Ma, don't eat carelessly or talk carelessly." Yang Zhitao reminded her.

Although Ma Chunxi was not one to listen to advice, he now thought about what he had just said and realized that it was indeed inappropriate. He said with a straight face, "I know, I won't say anything."

The three of them looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere gradually became subtle.

Yang Zhitao jumped out first, holding Qiu Minjing with her left hand and Ma Chunxi with her right hand, dragging them back, "Alright, alright, let's go back to Lingxi Palace. Sister Ma, didn't you say you would teach us sword dancing a few days ago? Let's do it today."

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, their relationship has become closer. Ma Chunxi is no longer indifferent to them as before. When he is bored, he will take the initiative to go to Lingxi Palace to chat and laugh with the two of them.

Qiu Minjing and Yang Zhitao didn't know whether they had moved Ma Chunxi by sending her back to the palace that night, so that she was willing to play with them. After all, in the eyes of the concubines, Ma Chunxi was a noble person who looked down on everyone, and no one wanted to talk to her, so Ma Chunxi had no friends.

Until recently, the three of them formed a small group, and because many people wanted to curry favor with Qiu Minjing, their attitude towards Ma Chunxi also improved.

However, Ma Chunxi didn't care about their looks. If she didn't roll her eyes at them when she saw them on the road, she was already in a good mood that day.

The wind is clear and the clouds are light, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

The double-eaved hipped roof is staggered in height, hidden in the moonlight and the night.

Two black shadows suddenly flashed by. The guards below looked up vigilantly, but saw nothing.

Nian Susu was on the eaves carrying a small bag and holding Qin Junyu's waist tightly, fearing that he would fall down.

She was feeling both anxious and excited, and a little bit expectant, because they were about to set off for Wu County in Jiangnan.

Taking advantage of the night, Qin Junyu took her to climb walls and landed silently on the roof of the East Palace study, avoiding the patrolling guards. The two entered the study, left the palace through the dungeon, and went straight to the outside of the Yongshenwu Gate.

When standing outside the high wall, Nian Susu was still a little dazed. Did she... really come out?

I haven’t left the palace for a long time, and even the air outside is free.

A Falcon was waiting outside the city gate early, holding two tall pure-blooded horses from Xiliang in his hands.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, have a safe journey." Ajuan's eyes were full of reluctance.

Qin Junyu climbed onto the horse, tied Bao Yu to the saddle, and gave him a look, "I know, I'll contact you anytime."

Nian Susu mounted the horse, holding the reins in his hands, feeling his blood boiling, and couldn't wait to gallop.

"Let's go." Qin Junyu turned his horse around.

"You will regret it sooner or later." Nian Susu smiled at Axuan.

Ah Falcon clasped his hands and said solemnly, "Farewell, Your Majesty."

"drive--"

The sound of horse hooves faded away.

A Falcon raised his head and looked in the direction they left, but he didn't leave for a long time.

The mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River block the flying of wild geese, and the officials in the Western Palace return with their articles.

It rains a lot in the south of the Yangtze River in summer, sometimes it is heavy rain, sometimes it is drizzle. No matter how heavy or light the rain is, the weather is always hot and humid. The heat radiates from the ground and penetrates directly into the human body. If you go out when it is raining, sweat and rain will flow down your cheeks.

The drizzle is like silk brushing the willows, the distant mountains are dark blue, the nearby water is misty, and the whole town is bathed in the mist, hazy like a scene in a painting. "The mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are hazy, and the water and mountains are like a painting" is probably like this.

There are many shops near the lake, most of which are embroidery shops. Girls in the south of the Yangtze River have two great hobbies: embroidery and ballads, so textiles and needlework are the most developed industries here.

Among all the embroidery workshops, "Youjian" flower shop seems out of place.

At the entrance of the flower shop are white jasmine, gardenia and jasmine, which are in full bloom. The humid and depressing rainy season becomes full of vitality because of these beautiful flowers.

"Boss Yu, the flower seeds you ordered from our farm the day before yesterday have been delivered to Yulinju. Did you remember to inspect them?" Suddenly a middle-aged woman came to the door and stuck her head out to speak to the people inside.

The person inside was calculating on the abacus on the counter. Hearing what she said, she smiled and said, "I know. Thank you for your hard work, Sister Chen."

After that, she imitated Chen Saozi's Jiangnan accent and asked playfully, "Would you like to come in and have a cup of tea before you leave?"

Mrs. Chen wrinkled her nose, pointed at her and scolded her, "Oh, you little bitch, you are trying to imitate my way of speaking."

Li Yaoyuan smiled even more deeply, "So what? I am at least half a Wujun person now."

Mrs. Chen laughed a few times, didn't want to argue with her about this topic, and ran into the rain with her umbrella in small steps.

Li Yaoyuan rubbed her sore wrists. Her neck was stiff from working on the abacus for so long, but Ding Changfeng, who had gone to deliver flowers, had not come back. The flower shop's business would be bad during the rainy season. Originally, there were only a few girls in the shop to look after it. Today, she had nothing to do, so she came to take over. The girls went to listen to Pingtan on their day off.

She picked up the teacup at hand and prepared to drink water and take a rest, but she didn't expect that the water in the cup was already empty. She looked around and saw a small stove by the window. The kettle on the stove was gurgling, and it must have been boiling for a while. She was so engrossed in counting the money that she didn't hear it.

Li Yaoyuan got up to pour water.

Just as she stood up, she heard voices coming from the door. Li Yaoyuan was focusing on the kettle and didn't look towards the door. She heard a girl say, "Believe me, this is it."

Then the man said, "Don't look at it anymore. Go to the eaves to avoid the rain. I should have brought an umbrella. I didn't expect it to rain in gusts."

The girl added: "It doesn't matter. It's so romantic to walk in the rain. It's just that the rain...is a little too heavy. My clothes are all wet."

Li Yaoyuan couldn't help laughing and thought silently in her heart: This girl has a pretty good attitude. The rain outside is so heavy that it can soak people like a drowned rat, but she calls it the romance of walking in the rain.

There was a dull thud as someone stepped on the wooden floor—they were coming in.

Li Yaoyuan closed the lid of the kettle and poured herself some water. "There is a dry blanket behind the flower stand, if you need it..." She turned around with the cup of hot water in her hand, and when she saw the person standing at the door, she was so shocked that she almost dropped the cup.

"..." She opened her mouth but didn't say a word, only silent surprise.

Nian Susu wiped the rain off her face. She looked very miserable now, but she still smiled brightly: "How are you, Miss Yu?"
