Chapter 1409 Father-in-Law and Father-in-Law (1)
Ning Huaixiu has been disheartened since she was injured that night. Although she is grateful to the Queen for not adding insult to injury and for being willing to help her, she can hardly hide her frustration. After all, the man who hated her like an insect was the man she had loved for many years, and loved him to the core of her heart.
Since she was injured, she lay in the room every day to recover from her injuries. In just a few days, she has seen the ups and downs of the world.
The maids living in the same room all knew her original identity and despised her self-abasement. Although they never trampled on her, everyone treated her like air and no one was willing to pay attention to her.
These days, no one even talked to her. When everyone saw her, they would show a look of ridicule and contempt. These were all things she, a young lady who had been held in the hands of others since she was a child, had never experienced.
The attitude of the crowd made her feel ashamed and sad. If she wasn't afraid that her parents would be sad for her, she would have wanted to hit her head against the wall and die, rather than be despised and rejected by others like this!
When Huan Qiulai called her, she was lying on the kang and staring at the beams in a daze.
She was no longer the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, but just an ordinary palace maid. She could only sleep on a kang with more than a dozen people like ordinary palace maids. She couldn't find a relatively hidden space for bathing, changing clothes, and even urinating and defecating. She could only do it under everyone's eyes. This made her feel very ashamed, but she had no way to deal with it. In addition to shame, she regretted her rash entry into the palace.
"Ning Huaixiu, the Queen summoned you to see her!"
Ning Huaixiu heard it and quickly climbed up from the kang, changed clothes quickly, and combed her hair. The Queen was her only hope. She wanted to get out of here alive, and only the Queen could help her do it. So, these days, she has been looking forward to the Queen summoning her.
She didn't dare to let Huanqiu wait for a long time, let alone let the Queen wait for her. She quickly finished dressing and followed Huanqiu, lowering her head and going there.
As soon as she entered the imperial study, she saw the man who had made her think about him day and night, sitting behind the dragon table, reviewing the memorials with his eyes downcast.
The sun shone through the glass windows of the hall, shining on his charming face, coating his face with a layer of light, making him look so handsome, and at the same time with the domineering aura of a superior looking down on the world!
Ning Huaixiu felt distressed for a moment, glanced at him, quickly lowered her head, and followed Huanqiu into the room where the Queen was in the east room.
After entering the house, I saw Empress Mu sitting on the kang by the window, looking down at the account book. She was wearing a casual outfit today, a green cotton short jacket, and a long skirt of the same color and fabric. She didn't have a bun on her head, let alone a hairpin. She only braided her long black hair into a pigtail and let it hang down behind her casually.
This plain dress did not make her look plain and elegant, but made her lips red like agate and her face white like jade. She was extremely beautiful and beautiful. Even though she was used to seeing beauties, she was stunned when she saw such a queen.
No wonder he was so in love with her. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be the same. The queen was indeed a peerless beauty with unparalleled beauty. It was not surprising that she was favored!
Seeing that she was just staring at Caiwei in a daze, but didn't salute, Huanqiu secretly pushed her. Ning Huaixiu woke up as if from a dream, and knelt down hurriedly, kowtowed to Caiwei.
"Your servant greets the Queen!"
She did not call herself a servant, but a servant. After entering the palace, she was a slave and had no right to call herself a servant.
