Chapter 192 The Long Night Is So Lonely
"Why are you here if you're not going to work?" Li Yujiao asked.
The leader, Madam Gui, said, "Madam Zhang was not careful in assigning tasks. I was supposed to serve the Empress in the palace, but Madam Zhang asked me to take care of the shopping."
Another maid said, "I used to be good at combing hair, but Aunt Zhang asked me to go to the backyard to cut branches, and I can't do that job."
Li Yujiao thought to herself: Since you can't do it, why don't you just go back?
But I can only think about this and can't really say it. If I really say it, it will offend the Queen, and then won't she be the one who suffers?
Li Yujiao called Aunt Zhang over and asked in a questioning tone: "Aunt Zhang, how did you arrange for these nobles from the palace? Didn't you say that you would find some easy work for them to do?"
Nanny Zhang said, "Madam, I was thinking that they were nobles from the palace and I dared not neglect them, so there is no easier job than what they are doing now."
Li Yujiao said to the people who came from the palace in an innocent tone: "Did you hear that? Aunt Zhang said this is the easiest job."
Nanny Gui then spoke her mind: "It's not like we can relax by doing nothing. The Queen sent us here to serve the Madam, not to go out and buy things or trim branches!"
Li Yujiao took a breath and said, "Oh, so you guys want to serve me up close?"
"That's right!" said Nanny.
Li Yujiao said: "But there is an unwritten rule in our house, that is, those who want to serve me must pass a level."
Aunt Gui asked, "Excuse me, Madam, what is this level?"
Li Yujiao saw the water tank in the yard. She walked over, bent her knees, straightened her upper body, tightened her core, then put her hands on the edge of the water tank, took a deep breath, and pushed the water tank.
The vat filled with water was actually moved.
Li Yujiao stopped, clapped her hands, and said to the people in the row in front: "This is the checkpoint. If you have heard the story of me and my husband, you should know that I have been kidnapped twice in the southwest, so the people who are close to me must have excellent kung fu and can protect me before they can serve me closely."
Aunt Gui said dissatisfiedly: "But how much strength does it take to push such a large water tank?"
Li Yujiao said: "It can be practiced. Please call housekeeper Li over."
After a while, Li Zhongping arrived.
Li Yujiao asked Li Zhongping: "Butler Li, these maids want to come into my courtyard to serve. I told them that anyone who comes into my courtyard needs to learn some martial arts. You take them down to practice martial arts. When they can push the big water tank in the courtyard, they can serve me closely."
Li Zhongping understood, and he politely said to Aunt Gui and the others, "Madams, please follow me and practice!"
Aunt Gui didn't believe it. She pointed at Aunt Zhang and asked, "Then how come she can serve in this courtyard?"
Li Yujiao said: "Because Aunt Zhang has a unique skill."
Li Yujiao picked up a stone and handed it to Madam Zhang, saying, "Madam, use this stone to knock down the bird's nest on the tree!"
Nanny Zhang felt guilty. How could she have such a unique skill?
But Li Yujiao gave her a firm look, and she immediately understood.
So Nanny Zhang took the stone and threw it at the tree, and a bird's nest fell down.
This was done by the hidden guards!
When everyone saw that Nanny Zhang could destroy a bird's nest, they believed it.
Li Yujiao said to them, "The Shangshu Mansion has its own rules. Although you are the people around the queen, you have to listen to me when you enter the Shangshu Mansion. Please go and train first. When you are done, I will definitely call you in."
Everyone had no choice but to go exercise angrily.
……
When little Huaning was one year old, Jing Qishan held a small birthday party for her in his house.
Only a few subordinates from the Ministry of War and their families were invited, no one else.
Li Yujiao asked the chef to prepare two large tables of dishes, and everyone ate at one table.
The people in the Ministry of War were good at handicrafts. Someone gave Huaning a little wooden tiger, and someone else made a small wooden kite.
Little Huaning was very happy and could play with each one for a long time.
The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War said, "Sir, your daughter likes weapons. Maybe she can become a female general when she grows up!"
Jing Qishan smiled and said, "She just needs to be an ordinary girl in the future."
Xiao Huaning didn't know whether she understood or not. She suddenly sat up from the ground, then staggered to Jing Qishan, clenched her fist and hit his thigh.
It made everyone laugh again.
"Sir, your little girl wants to be a female general. Look, she has something against you."
The meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere.
……
Mid-November.
The queen went to Baolin Temple to burn incense and pray.
As the queen, she had to stay in Baolin Temple for a few days and eat vegetarian food during those days.
Because she was the queen, she was accompanied by more than a hundred guards, a grand procession.
The queen chanted sutras with the monks and finally rested in a side hall.
At night, a figure quietly entered her room.
Guard Xiao is here.
Guard Xiao is also in his thirties. He has no contact with the Queen on a daily basis. He is only responsible for the security of the palace and is a fourth-rank guard in the palace.
No one could have imagined that he and the queen were actually related.
After entering, Guard Xiao was also very cautious. He knelt before the Queen and said respectfully, "Your Highness!"
The Queen said, "There is no one else here, you don't have to be so cautious."
Guard Xiao asked, "Your Majesty has summoned me here. What is the matter?"
The queen had already pressed her entire body against him. She was well maintained and her body was extremely soft. When she pressed her body against him, she looked like a soft cloud.
Guard Xiao stood there stiffly.
The Queen touched his face and neck with her fingers and said softly, "I have delivered myself to your door, and you are still pretending to be serious."
"My lady, please respect yourself."
"I respect myself? If I respect myself, how can you be the son of a prince?"
Guard Xiao stopped talking.
The queen got angry and said, "Okay, then go!"
Guard Xiao actually climbed out the window.
The queen was left gritting her teeth in anger.
O man!
When she seduced him for the first time, he did not refuse, but since she became pregnant with Xiao Yujing, he started to act serious.
He knew that Xiao Yujing was his son, so he would only work hard on matters related to his son, and would avoid matters that had nothing to do with his son if possible.
Otherwise, she would have killed him long ago if she still needed him to do things!
The queen was lying on the bed.
The beds in Baolin Temple are very hard and not comfortable at all.
The night was long and she didn't know how to pass the time.
In the following days, she burned incense and prayed every day.
Occasionally, when she saw Guard Xiao guarding not far away, she dared not move at all, for fear of being discovered.
……
A few days later, the queen returned to the palace.
After returning to the palace, the first thing he did was to report his absence to the old emperor.
The queen was dressed quite simply in front of the old emperor, without even a few hairpins.
"Your Majesty, Baolin Temple has already prayed for blessings. The abbot said that if we pray for good weather and good harvests in the coming year, it's just that..."
"Just what?" asked the old emperor.
