After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

Ji Wei didn't know whether Qiao Wan'er had cheered along just now, but from her "resentful and angry" look, he knew that she must not like that his "lover" was so glorious in front of so many women... Didn't you also hold an umbrella with another man to help him block the stones? Same here!
He secretly gave Qiao Wan'er a questioning look - why are you here?

But I don't know whether Qiao Wan'er didn't understand or didn't want to understand? Her meaningful eyes were still looking at him like a knife, making Ji Yin feel uncomfortable all over, and he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Okay, okay, after watching the fun, let's all go back to our respective positions and work!" Hongyu, who was standing next to Qiao Wan'er, spoke to the palace maids who were watching the game of pitching pots.

When the palace maids heard the order, they immediately scattered like birds and beasts, chirping and going to where they were supposed to go.

Finally, only four people were left in the open space in front of the hall: Ji Mingyue, Ji Yin, Hongyu and Qiao Waner.

Qiao Wan'er was holding a food box in her hand, as if she was delivering something.

"Your Highness, this Aunt Qiao came from Mingxin Palace. She said she was sent by the young emperor to deliver the freshly baked osmanthus cake to Your Highness." Hongyu led Qiao Wan'er to the princess.

"Oh, why is it you! Aren't you the palace maid who helped Fan Mingchu block the stones yesterday?" Ji Mingyue saw the swelling on Qiao Wan'er's forehead that had not yet subsided, and immediately recognized the person. A hint of hostility instantly flashed in his eyes, as if he had seen an accomplice of the enemy.

"Your Highness, to be honest, I was not helping Lord Fan block the stones yesterday." Qiao Wan'er walked up to Ji Mingyue and bowed.

"What? You weren't helping him block the stones? Then why were you standing in front of him when I threw stones at him?" The princess asked curiously after hearing Qiao Wan'er say this.

"Your Highness, didn't Your Highness ask Lord Fan to guess what was in his hand? I guessed at that time that it must be a very interesting object. So, when I saw Your Highness throw the object out, I rushed forward to grab it. That's why I stood in front of Lord Fan. In fact, I was afraid that he would grab it first."

"So that's how it is! Hahaha!" After hearing Qiao Wan'er's explanation, the princess burst out laughing, and the hostility on her face instantly disappeared. "You wanted to snatch the treasure from my hand, but it turned out to be a small stone, and I hit you with it! Hahaha, this is really fun!"

"That's right. I was so stupid that I didn't realize that the princess was hiding a stone that could be used as a hidden arrow. I thought it was a treasure and rushed forward to grab it at all costs. Hehehe."

"Hahaha, this is really so funny. You, a palace maid, are indeed a bit stupid. Hahaha!" The princess continued to laugh.

Ji Yin, who was standing aside, almost laughed out loud after listening to Qiao Wan'er's words to fool the princess. This Qiao Wan'er was really good at coaxing children (fools). No wonder the little emperor insisted on recognizing her as his mother.

Although he knew that what Qiao Wan'er said was fabricated in order to eliminate the princess's hostility towards her, for some reason, after hearing these words, Ji Yin's mood, which had been depressed since yesterday, was relieved a lot.

"Then what's your name?"

"Your Highness, my name is Qiao Wan'er."

"Qiao Wan'er, this name is very nice." Qiao Wan'er was quite famous in Longchang Palace, but the silly princess who lived in isolation from the world had never heard of her name.

"Hongyu said that you were here to deliver the osmanthus cake on the emperor's orders?" Ji Mingyue saw the box in Qiao Wan'er's hand and remembered what Hongyu had said just now.

"That's right. I made this fresh osmanthus cake this morning. Your Majesty loves it very much. I wanted to let Your Highness the Princess have a taste of it, so I sent you some."

"This little nephew has been very filial recently. He has sent me branches of blessings and delicious food. Hongyu, please accept them for me."

Upon hearing this, Hongyu stepped forward and took the box from Qiao Wan'er's hand.

When the princess mentioned Fuzhi, Qiao Wan'er unconsciously glanced at "Fuzhi" who had been standing beside the princess. When she met his gaze, she seemed to see some dazzling light and quickly looked away.

"Mm, delicious, delicious, really delicious." The princess was not polite at all. She opened the box and took out a piece of hot osmanthus cake and stuffed it into her mouth. She ate it and praised it, "Is this osmanthus cake made by Palace Lady Qiao herself?"

"Your Highness, this is made from the best quality glutinous rice I selected."

"Fuzhi, Hongyu, come and try it while it's hot."

Ji Yin couldn't help it. He had never eaten anything made by Qiao Wan'er before, so he quickly went forward and took a piece and put it in his mouth. "It's really soft, sticky and sweet. Aunt Qiao's cooking skills are really good."

It is indeed very delicious, but even if it is not delicious, you can't tell the truth, you have to praise it! She was obviously angry just now, will praising her like this make her happier?

Ji Ying was a little puzzled. Why would the little emperor ask her to come here to deliver the osmanthus cake? Wasn't he afraid that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl would meet on the Magpie Bridge?
Hongyu couldn't stop praising it after eating a piece of osmanthus cake.

Qiao Wan'er bowed slightly to the people in front of her to return their praise: "Your Highness, if you like it, I will make it for you often."

"Okay, okay, that's great! My little nephew is so thoughtful. Palace Lady Qiao, go back and thank His Majesty on my behalf. Tell him that I will keep an eye out for him when I have anything interesting here in the future." "I'll make a note of that." Qiao Wan'er bowed and said goodbye, then turned and walked towards the palace gate. Suddenly, she heard a few people behind her starting to talk.

Princess: "Fuzhi, Hongyu, what shall we play today?"

Fuzhi: "Your Highness, how about we play the money game today?"

Hongyu: "Princess, there are only three of us. It would be more fun if there were four of us shaking the money."

Princess: "Hongyu, then go find someone else."

Before Hongyu could reply, Qiao Wan'er, who had only taken a few steps, suddenly turned around and said, "Your Highness, I am also good at playing with money. How about I be considered one of your servants?"

Suddenly someone volunteers to join, so what else is there to say?

Afterwards, several people entered the main hall and prepared to play the game of shaking money.

Hongyu took out the tools for winnowing money - copper coins and round bamboo pieces used as chips. The four of them sat around a low square table, two people facing each other. Qiao Wan'er and Ji Yin happened to sit face to face.

As soon as she sat down, Qiao Wan'er saw the princess leaning over and looking intently at her face. After looking, she turned her head and looked intently at "Fuzhi" opposite her.

"Hey, you two?" After the princess asked, her eyes jumped back and forth between the two faces, sometimes looking at Qiao Wan'er, sometimes looking at "Fuzhi".

Hearing the princess ask this, Qiao Wan'er, who was already feeling guilty, instantly felt a chill down her spine, and her hands couldn't help shaking... Could it be that the princess discovered something between her and "Fuzhi"?
"Hahaha, why do you two have dark circles under your eyes? Did you not sleep well last night?"

As soon as the princess said this, the two dark circles looked at each other at the same time. Sure enough...it turns out you have them too!

Ji Wei: "I had a nightmare last night and didn't sleep well."

Princess: "So what did you dream about?"

"Oh! It's not convenient for me to tell you. This is a dream that only ordinary people would have. I'm afraid Your Highness will blame me if I tell you."

Qiao Wan'er could tell at a glance that this person was the one who wanted to say it, but he was still deliberately making fun of Qiao in front of the princess.

"Just tell me, tell me quickly!" The princess naturally couldn't tell that "Fuzhi" was playing hard to get, and her curiosity was immediately aroused.

"Your Highness, I dreamed last night that I went back to the countryside to get married."

"Hahaha!" Upon hearing this, the princess and Hongyu couldn't help but burst into laughter, except Qiao Wan'er.

"Marrying a wife is a happy dream, why do you say it's a nightmare?"

"I dreamed that a bridal sedan was carried to my door. I happily went to take the bride to the bridal chamber, but when I opened the curtain of the sedan, I found that there was no one in it!"

"Ah, why is this happening? Where is the bride?"

"The matchmaker suddenly rushed forward and told me that the bride had eloped with the cowherd next door and asked me to cancel the engagement immediately!"

"Hahaha, this... is too miserable! It is truly a nightmare."

"Perhaps the cowherd boy is the one the bride truly loves, and she agreed to your proposal out of necessity?"

"How could it be? In my dream, she made a solemn vow to me!"

"Oh, that's the bride's fault. How can she have two relationships at the same time?"

"That's right, Fukuji. It's better not to have a bride like this."
