Chapter 341 Playing on occasion
The nanny responded respectfully: "Please speak."
"Go tell Xue Yi to stay at home for the next few days and stay in her own bedroom. It would be best if she doesn't run into Shen Yindi and the others."
"Okay. I understand."
"Let's go see the third princess first. She is now a hero of our Great Chu."
As for Chu Yao, they had a hearty lunch and Si Qi was very satisfied. As expected of the imperial chefs, she admitted that they were quite capable.
Seeing her eating so happily, Chu Yao couldn't help but relax a little.
It's funny to say that she was born and raised in the palace, and today's meal was the best meal she had ever had. It was a meal specially prepared for her, but she actually felt like it was her last meal before execution.
But in her opinion, all these are in the past.
She was about to say goodbye to this place, not knowing what the future held, but she had no way out.
Just as he was about to go out for a walk, he heard the eunuch's sharp voice: "The Queen has arrived!"
Shen Yindi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. It seemed that the queen was quite proactive.
This time Si Qi did not avoid the question. If he asked her who she was, she would naturally have an explanation.
Chu Yao is not nervous at all now. Maybe this time out of the palace has really had a great impact on her. Even if it is only a few months, she feels that she has grown a lot.
Chu Yun's face was a little solemn. Thinking of her previous experiences, and after being with Shen Yindi and the others, she learned about some of the Queen's actions, and she began to hate her from the bottom of her heart.
But when there is no falling out, the superficial peace must be maintained in the harem.
After all, the queen is the master of the harem.
The Queen, supported by a nanny, walked over aggressively.
"Your son pays his respects to the Queen." Chu Yun and Chu Yao paid their respects respectfully.
"I pay my respects to the Queen." Shen Yindi also bowed, and Si Qi followed suit.
"Get up, no need to be polite."
The Queen walked to the main seat and sat down. Nanny Hua stood beside her, and other palace maids and eunuchs were also waiting.
"I heard that you guys returned to the palace today, so I came to see you."
"Yun'er, how is Yao'er doing recently?" the queen asked slowly, looking calm and focused.
Ruyi was very tactful in making tea.
Although she came from a laundry department, she had learned the rules of serving people in the past few days.
"I am doing fine, thank you Queen for your concern."
"With you away, Yue'er has no one to play with, and she keeps asking me all day, 'Big sister, when will Yao'er be able to return to the palace?'"
"Now she's finally back. She'll probably come over to play with you guys tomorrow."
"Thank you, Yue'er, for your concern." Chu Yun said generously with a decent smile on her face.
"Your father said that he would grant Yao'er a marriage today. I am very happy to hear that. Although the Kingdom of Nanyue is a bit far away, the other party is the eldest prince of the royal family after all. I think Yao'er's life will not be too bad in the future."
"In this way, I can rest assured."
"Thank you, Queen, for your concern."
Shen Yindi stood aside without saying a word, observing calmly.
It’s best not to click on her.
However, the Queen certainly could not get what she wanted.
She said earnestly, "My third daughter-in-law, Yun'er and Yao'er are living so well outside the palace, all thanks to you."
"They all lost their mother. I have always cared for them. I want to thank you."
Shen Yindi was flattered when she was called: "You are too polite, Queen. One of them is my eldest sister and the other is my younger sister. It is my duty to take care of them."
"I am very pleased that you think so. Your mother came to the palace a few days ago, and I talked to her about you."
"Although you are married, you are still her daughter after all. Shangshu Mansion is your home, and your sister's whereabouts are unknown. It would be better for you to go out more often when you have time."
The queen was lecturing in the tone of an elder.
"I understand. Thank you, Queen, for your concern."
"Yao'er, if you need anything, just tell the maid and I will arrange it."
After that, the queen gave some other instructions before leaving.
Anyway, we must do our surface work well and never give anyone a chance to criticize us.
Chu Yun and Chu Yao went out to see her off.
Si Qi breathed a sigh of relief only after the people had gone far away.
She immediately complained to Shen Yindi: "Adi, do you think the queen is tired of coming here to put on a show?"
"She clearly wants to tear us into pieces."
Shen Yindi sneered, "Not tired, that's her job."
"I just paid attention to the nanny next to her. She looks very shrewd and calculating. She is definitely a ruthless character!" Si Qi said with certainty.
"How can she be the Queen's confidant if she is not ruthless? Maybe she is the one who handles many things!"
"I don't know if she was the one who negotiated with Leng Xiao at that time?"
Shen Yindi touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"I don't know. Leng Xiao said that the person he was negotiating with was very mysterious."
"Hey, did she mention your mother just now?"
"Could it be possible that they were that close?"
Shen Yindi sneered: "I don't have a mother, but that vicious old woman who wishes I would die sooner and hates me to the core. Is she worthy of being my mother?"
"Not worthy. Who do they think they are!" Si Qi immediately responded to Shen Yindi's words.
"That's right! Don't mention her, she affects my mood! I don't care what tricks she has to the Queen. If she infringes on my interests and hurts the people around me, I will never show mercy!" Shen Yindi's brows were full of coldness.
"I absolutely support you!" Si Qi put his arm around Shen Yindi's shoulders and said confidently.
"Thank you Qi'er for your support!"
"Hey, don't be polite, we are family!"
Then Si Qi looked at Chu Yun and asked, "Sister Yun, is the Queen's daughter getting along well with you guys?"
"No, she looks down on us." Chu Yun also said very directly.
"She likes to make friends with some daughters of noble families outside the palace. For example, Shen Yinyin, the daughter of Minister Shen, and Shuya."
"But then Shuya refused to be the Crown Princess, so maybe the friendship broke down."
"Shuya did the right thing! With such a vicious mother, how can she be any good?"
"Let's go, let's go see Concubine De first!"
Shen Yindi didn't want to talk about those people who spoiled the fun, so she changed the subject directly.
"Okay." Chu Yun and Chu Yao had no objection.
They really did miss her.
Concubine De is considered to be the more friendly concubine in the harem.
Chu Yun took them on a tour as they walked over.
It was Si Qi’s first time entering the palace, and everything seemed new to him.
It must be said that the scenery of this palace is really beautiful. There are pavilions, towers, rockery and waterside pavilions, as well as many trees and flowers.
The harem is indeed luxurious.
But she didn't envy the people who lived there at all.
When Si Qi arrived at the door of Concubine De, his eyes lit up immediately, and there was surprise on his face.
She grabbed Shen Yindi's arm: "Adi, look!"
