At that time, Su Qingluo had just finished her meal. She looked at Yun Zhou who had hurried over and asked calmly, "You are not well yet, why are you running here?"

Yun Zhou smiled and handed her a memorial: "Please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

"I will leave after your Majesty has examined me. I am not well yet and I will definitely not stay by your side, so as not to pass on the disease to you." Yun Zhou lowered his head and answered honestly.

Su Qingluo looked at her, feeling inexplicably annoyed. When did she mean this?

But Su Qingluo was annoyed with her for the moment and did not explain.

After taking the letter and taking a look at it, he found out that it was about the personnel transfer that Yun Zhou was going to make today.

She glanced at it casually, stamped it with the phoenix seal and gave it to Yun Zhou.

Yunzhou took the things and immediately turned around and left.

"Little ungrateful bastard." Su Qingluo muttered softly, feeling that it was a waste of her time to take care of her the whole night.

For the next three days, Yun Zhou did not set foot in Su Qingluo's study or bedroom.

I have heard that there have been quite a few personnel changes in the palace recently.

On the third day, Su Qingluo returned from the Xuande Hall after discussing matters with the Secretariat, and unexpectedly saw Yun Zhou and Lu Jiaoyue walking together and chatting happily.

I had no idea what they were talking about from a distance, but I felt that the atmosphere between them was very good and they were laughing all the time.

The last time Su Qingluo saw Yun Zhou so happy and carefree was on the day of the first snow.

On the fourth day, Yun Zhou brought the packed things, as well as some people she found in the harem who had some talents but had no one behind them and were not favored by the emperor.

There are not many people like this, and Yun Zhou only picked out three suitable ones.

"My Lady, I've had a brief chat with these people and they all seem pretty good. Of course, you still need to make another selection to see if they're suitable."

Yun Zhou reported in detail and talked about serious matters. Su Qingluo did not say anything and just listened carefully.

She was always careful in her work and always asked for instructions in advance, so Su Qingluo could not find any fault.

"Okay, the Imperial Palace will summon them over tomorrow to try." Su Qingluo nodded slightly.

After reporting the main business, Yun Zhou held those things, feeling a little embarrassed.

Su Qingluo glanced at her and said in a cold tone, "What's the matter?"

Yun Zhou gritted his teeth and took out a sachet with some embarrassment: "Your Highness took care of me a few days ago, but Yun Zhou had nothing to thank you with, so he asked Doctor Lu to prepare some things and made a medicine sachet. But the smell is not bad, it is the fragrance that Your Highness likes on weekdays. Now it is winter, and Your Highness has not worn a sachet for a long time."

As she spoke, she seemed to have no idea what she was saying. Her voice gradually weakened and her ears turned red.

Su Qingluo looked at her anxious expression, and his eyes fell on the sachet in her hand: "How can I see it if you don't give it to me?"

This time, he gave her the sachet.

Su Qingluo looked at the pattern on it and asked: "Did you embroider the sachet?"

Yunzhou quickly shook her head. How could she embroider?

[It must have been drawn by Zhou Zhou. Dean Wen despised her for mending a piece of clothing.]

Su Qingluo suddenly heard a childish voice. She looked towards the door and saw the little guy hiding behind it.

Wen Zhimiao would come to play with her and Yunzhou every day. Recently, Yunzhou said that she was afraid of infecting the little princess with a cold, so she forbade the maid to bring Wen Zhimiao to see her.

So Wen Zhimiao hadn't seen Yun Zhou for several days.

I came to see Su Qingluo today and happened to see this great show.

[Zhou Zhou, I am beginning to doubt whether you like my mother.]

[Calm down, Ji Lianzhi will not have a good ending.]

[She will have a male protagonist in the future, don’t love her!]

For the first time, Su Qingluo felt that this guy was talking too much and was a bit annoying.

"But I drew the picture and I don't know how to embroider. I can only ask the embroiderers in the embroidery workshop for help." Yun Zhou said in a low voice.

Su Qingluo sniffed the sachet and said, "Not bad."

Then he hung it directly around his waist.

Yun Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became much more relaxed: "As long as the queen likes it."

She looked at Su Qingluo, her eyes curved as if containing stars.

"In addition, I have not yet dismissed some people in the harem. I want to wait until after the New Year to decide. And you haven't discussed it with Miss Shen yet, so don't expel them from the palace for now."

Seeing Yun Zhou starting to talk about business again, Wen Zhimiao rushed in.

"Zhou Zhou~" After practicing for quite some time, she finally could call out clearly.

Yun Zhou watched her running towards him happily and eagerly.

He quickly put down what he was holding and squatted on the ground, ready to greet this evil friend.

Wen Zhimiao threw himself into her arms and asked her in a baby voice, "Are you well?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine now."

"You scared me to death. That's good." Wen Zhimiao whispered in her ear.

Yun Zhou felt warm in his heart, picked her up and whispered, "It's okay, it's just a cold."

"In this damn place, catching a cold can kill people." Wen Zhimiao muttered.

Yun Zhou patted her back gently: "It's okay, is this bad?"

"Play with me." Wen Zhimiao's eyes turned and he looked sly.

[Tell me quickly, do you like my mother?]

After hearing this, Su Qingluo changed her mind and said to the two of them, "I still have government affairs to deal with. You can take Miaomiao to play next door for a while."

Yun Zhou nodded immediately: "Yes."

She carried Wen Zhimiao to the small study next door. Wen Zhimiao did not let the maid get close to her and she pulled Yunzhou to her toy table.

"Tell me the truth, do you like my mother?" The little person put his hands on his hips and questioned someone who was much taller than him.

Yun Zhou let out a confused cry: "I do like your mother, but not the kind of love you think. Put away your dirty thoughts."

[Pah, pah, pah, how could my mind be dirty? You even gave my mother a scented sachet.]

"But I heard that the palace maids all said..." She was too young after all, and her words stuttered when she was anxious. It took her a long time to explain the rumor she had heard.

Yun Zhou explained the whole story to her with a helpless look.

"You also know what happened last time. Although I did sleep in her bed for a whole night, it was because I was drunk. The Queen said she didn't know if I minded being served by others, so she didn't order anyone to send me back. You also know how much I can drink."

"Your legs are weak because your mother is a devil. How can your legs not be weak after training for a whole morning?"

"I sent you the sachet because I had a sudden fever and fainted in your mother's palace. She said she was too lazy to go back and forth, so she let me sleep on the small bed that the maid kept watch on all night. Maybe I woke her up with a cough at night, so I troubled your mother to cover me with a blanket. I felt bad, so I asked Lu Jiaoyue to help me prepare a sachet. Your mother has everything she needs, so what can I give her?"

Yun Zhou looked at Wen Zhimiao with his hands spread out innocently.

[You can’t lie to a child like this. My mother is the queen, a woman who holds the power of the world. She covers you with a blanket!]

When Su Qingluo heard Wen Zhimiao's inner thoughts, she was stunned again. It seemed that she had some special feelings towards Yun Zhou.

Wen Zhimiao's words and Ning Jun's words echoed in her mind.

"Really? You're not hiding anything?" Wen Zhimiao looked serious.

Yun Zhou nodded vigorously: "No more, it's all true."

"Are you really not secretly in love with my mother? But she treats you so specially?" Wen Zhimiao still found it hard to believe.

Yun Zhou sighed: "Miao Miao, you and I both come from far away. You should know that curiosity and uniqueness do not mean love."

"Your mother treats me specially because I am different from other people in the palace. It is impossible for me to have the kind of reverence and worship for the imperial power, the emperor, and the empress from the bottom of my heart. How can someone like your mother not see that?"

"And the knowledge I have now is useful to her. She yearns for freedom and also longs for someone around her to treat her as Su Qingluo instead of a queen. More importantly, she also longs for the supreme position, and I may be able to help her. All of this adds up to something special."

"She teases me and treats me well, most likely because it makes her feel a little relaxed and barely able to hold on to her former self in this cold palace."

"You're right. I like her, but now this liking is definitely more of admiration than admiration."

"So, don't worry." Yun Zhou pinched her little face: "I'm not rude or arrogant enough to want to turn a straight woman gay."

[Yeah, that's good, as long as you don't like her, nine out of ten secret crushes never work out!]

Su Qingluo didn’t know what Yun Zhou and Wen Zhimiao said, but at least she heard the result.

She didn't know why she felt relieved but also a little annoyed when she heard the result.

He had no place to vent his anger, so he held his breath and asked someone to send a Three Character Classic to Wen Zhimiao, and asked Yunzhou to teach him.

The main point is that no one wants to have an easy life.
