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

In the evening, it started to drizzle and the temperature in the mountains dropped sharply. They were wearing thin summer clothes. Huiling was worried that the same mistake as last year would happen again, so she strongly requested them to stay in the temple and go down the mountain early the next morning when the weather cleared up.

Since they were not in a hurry, they agreed to stay in the temple.

The meditation room arranged by Huiling was the best in the temple. It was spacious and bright, and the quilts and pillows were all new. She cooked the noodles herself because she was worried that they might not be used to the light vegetarian dishes. Now it was the two's turn to feel embarrassed.

Nian Susu thanked them profusely and repeatedly emphasized that they could adapt to the environment of the temple and let Huiling go to rest, before he finally persuaded him to leave.

The two of them slept in their clothes and stayed overnight in Xianlin Temple. They went down the mountain the next day after the rain stopped.

Ever since Nian Susu and Qin Junyu came, Aunt Li has been going to Yulinju to cook every day. She doesn't feel tired. Instead, she feels very happy that everyone likes the food she cooks. This at least proves that she is of some use and she can't just do nothing every month and get paid for nothing.

Qin Junyu always went to the kitchen intentionally or unintentionally. Nian Susu discovered that whenever Aunt Li cooked, he would stand by and learn from her, like a thief.

Aunt Li was not polite at all when she ordered Qin Junyu to work. Since she had no hands free, she winked at him and said, "Go and chop the firewood. It's burning so much that it's about to fall off."

Qin Junyu said "Oh" and did as he was told.

After a while, Aunt Li was heard yelling, "Ouyou, how could you do this! You...you've put out the fire!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Qin Junyu was so choked by the smoke that he couldn't open his eyes. "Aunt Li... come and put out the fire... put out the fire."

Nian Susu was outside drawing water from the well to wash vegetables. When he heard the noise and looked back, he saw smoke coming out of the kitchen chimney, windows and door, but there was no sign of fire.

Nian Susu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Qin Junyu ran out covering his nose, and leaned against the wall for a long time before he could open his eyes.

"Don't make trouble. Aunt Li works hard enough cooking every day, and you're making things worse." Nian Susu said as he picked up the vegetables and put them in the basket. He changed to a basin of clean water and poured the vegetables in for a second rinse.

Qin Junyu walked over with his hands on his hips. He felt his throat smoking as he spoke. "Ahem... I just don't know how to light a fire. I've almost learned how to cook. I'll come back in a few days after I've learned it and cook for you myself!"

He was full of confidence, but Nian Susu didn't take it seriously. They would eventually return to Shengjing, and by the time he learned how to cook, the day lily would be cold.

She lowered her head and continued washing the vegetables.

Qin Junyu returned to the kitchen, ready to perform well and make up for his mistake, but as soon as he stepped in, he was driven out by Aunt Li, "Ouyou, you should go sit in the hall and wait for dinner obediently, don't disturb me."

Qin Junyu: ...

The late emperor died before he could complete his career...

Li Yaoyuan came back at dinner time, but not alone.

Nian Susu and Qin Junyu were setting the table with their backs to the door. When they heard footsteps, they knew who had returned.

She said happily: "We have braised spareribs tonight~"

Braised spare ribs is Li Yaoyuan's favorite dish.

"Lingling, stop busying yourself and look who's coming!" Li Yaoyuan took two steps at a time and walked into the hall, took Nian Susu's arm and motioned her to turn around.

Qin Junyu looked back before she did.

The woman in red had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, her arms folded across her chest holding a sword, and she was smiling brightly.

"Yun Zheng!" Nian Susu was stunned. She lifted her skirt and ran out. Li Yaoyuan followed her out.

Nian Susu: "Why did you come to Wujun? Didn't you say you wanted to travel around the world? Why are you so fascinated by the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Xiao Yunzheng: "I should be the one saying this. You and Brother Yu gave up your roles as emperor and empress and ran to the countryside to plant flowers and till the land. Are you living too comfortably in Shengjing?"

Nian Susu: "What do you know? I am visiting incognito to understand the people's sentiments, okay? Come from the masses and go to the masses, only in this way can you be a good leader!"

Xiao Yunzheng: "Oh my, don't give me that, don't I know who you are?"

……

Qin Junyu silently walked into the kitchen and took another set of bowls and chopsticks.

The three of them chatted about everything under the sun and didn't sit down at the dinner table until nightfall.

Xiao Yunzheng was really hungry after a day's journey, but she couldn't bear to stop talking, so she could only work at the same time, stuffing her cheeks full, and "accusing" the three people in a vague manner: "So you all knew that Miss Yu was Zhi! I'm the only one who was fooled! This is too much!"

After saying this, he turned his grief and anger into food and stuffed two pieces of braised pork into his mouth.

Li Yaoyuan was so amused that she couldn't close her mouth. She served her a bowl of soup and said, "Eat slowly. Don't choke."

"Hehe." Xiao Yunzheng smiled at her foolishly, "Zhizhi, you are still as considerate as before."

Nian Susu knew that he was in the wrong and did not refute. Moreover, if he continued to talk, he might bring up Qin Junyu's other identity, so he decided to stop here.

"Actually, I guessed it a long time ago, but I never dared to admit it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to Wujun to find her today." Xiao Yunzheng said to herself.

She was originally going to the East China Sea, which happened to be in the same direction as Wujun, so she took a detour to visit Miss Yu Yue, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Unexpectedly, Nian Susu and Qin Junyu were also there, and they accidentally got together.

Xiao Yunzheng asked about the situation in the capital, the Xiao family and her eldest brother. Qin Junyu told her the details one by one. Although Li Yaoyuan's expression did not change, it could be seen that she was not as cheerful as before.

"Jian Ting was busy preparing the army, and he didn't even know that we were leaving the palace, and I didn't plan to tell him." Qin Junyu said with a hint of meaning: "Anyway, he will know it by then."

Li Yaoyuan picked up rice grains and ate them absent-mindedly.

Nian Susu picked up a piece of pork ribs for her and said, "Eat the vegetables, don't just eat the rice."

Li Yaoyuan nodded with a forced smile.

After dinner, several people set up a small coffee table in the yard to drink tea.

The moonlight is just right tonight, with bright moon and clear wind, unlike the past few days when it rained as soon as it appeared at night.

The moon in early September was not round, but it was surprisingly suitable for their current situation.

Xiao Yunzheng still couldn't get used to drinking tea, so Li Yaoyuan considerately took some goat's milk and added it to her drink, so that she could barely drink it.

"By the way, how did you two manage to leave the palace without being seen by so many eyes?"

"It's been more than half a month, don't the ministers have any opinions?" Xiao Yunzheng was very curious and shocked.

You know, the emperor cannot leave the palace easily, otherwise it will easily cause chaos.

Qin Junyu was better. Not only did he come out, he also brought the queen with him. He stayed in the remote Wu County for more than half a month. One can imagine how much effort this must have taken.

Nian Susu and Qin Junyu each told what they had done, and the result was an almost perfect plan.

The issue is……

"When do you plan to go back?" Xiao Yunzheng blinked.
