The maidservant is too charming. I want to help her become the queen.

Chapter 21 Cheating

Lu Qingqing hurriedly closed the palace door.

In the darkness, she could only vaguely see the outline of the giant creature in front of her.

She lit the tinder again and saw that the giant object was covered with a layer of linen, but it could still be distinguished from the outline. It must be a statue!

She tiptoed over, squatted on the ground, and gently lifted a corner of the linen.

Golden!

In order to be more certain about the quality of the golden material, she pinched it hard with her onion-like nails, leaving a faint crescent-shaped nail mark on the statue.

That’s right, this is the golden statue that Concubine Zhao’s family is going to present to the emperor on his birthday this year!

After confirming, Lu Qingqing did not plan to spend too long in the hall. The place was heavily guarded, and if she was discovered to have left her post without permission, it would probably cause a stir.

Just as she put out the fire and turned to leave, she suddenly heard a series of footsteps.

At first, she thought it was the footsteps of the guards patrolling.

But as the footsteps got closer, she gradually heard the clues.

The footsteps came in a hurried but untidy sound, not like those of well-trained guards. Moreover, the back hall was far away from the outside of the courtyard and was separated by several palace walls, so it was impossible for them to be heard here!

There are others!

As the footsteps approached, her heart rose to her throat little by little.

Suddenly, the palace door was opened from behind.

squeak-

The bright candlelight instantly illuminated the entire hall.

"Zhao Lang, I want to see what gift you prepared for me tonight~~"

A sweet female voice burst into the hall along with the candlelight.

Lu Qingqing was hiding in a set of rosewood cabinets at the moment, quietly observing everything in the hall.

Which palace maid was this from? Why did she have to choose the Buddhist temple to have a tryst in the middle of the night? Who was the guard or the imperial physician she was having a tryst with?

Lu Qingqing was a little unhurried to return to her duty post at this moment. She didn't want to miss such an exciting scene. Maybe the famous scene of the red mandarin duck bellyband could be reproduced here tonight. Eating a melon to refresh herself would make it worth her while to make this trip in the middle of the night.

However, the conversation that followed surprised her so much that she couldn't believe her ears.

A calm, slightly hoarse male voice rang out in the hall, "Empress Dowager, this statue will be presented to you in public at your birthday banquet sooner or later. Why rush it now?"

The distance was too far, so Lu Qingqing couldn't hear clearly, but she was very sure that the person the man called just now must be the Empress Dowager!

The person having a secret meeting in Mingjing Hall tonight is actually the Empress Dowager who has always been mysterious and rarely appears!

The shock in her heart was no less than a storm that suddenly rose on the sea. She couldn't help but sigh secretly that the ancients knew how to have fun. Her tricks in bed were just trifles. To coax the inexperienced Li Xuansheng, the forbidden love of the current empress dowager was a thrilling and exciting trick!

Lu Qingqing hid in the closet, not daring to make any sound.

However, the two people in the hall walked closer and closer to her, and finally, they stopped in front of the pure gold Buddha statue.

"Zhao Lang, I've told you so many times that when it's just you and me, you don't have to call me 'Empress Dowager', and I won't call myself 'Ai Jia'. You should just call me by my childhood name, Ke Xin, okay?"

The woman's voice in the hall seemed to indicate some dissatisfaction with the man, but she was still gentle and charming.

The man just hummed softly, without any emotion of joy or sadness, and reached out to tear off the linen cloth covering the statue.

After seeing the statue, the woman could not help but exclaimed, "Wow~~~ Zhao Lang is so good to Ke Xin, how did you know that the ones I kowtow to most are the two immortals of harmony and unity!"

The linen cloth was torn off by the man called "Zhao Lang" by the Queen Mother. Lu Qingqing, who was hiding in the cupboard, saw the true appearance of the statue through a tiny gap.

No wonder she felt the statue was a bit wide when she first saw its outline; it turned out that this year's statue was carved of the two immortals, He and He.

The two immortals of harmony and unity have always been praised as the symbol of family harmony and happy marriage. The two immortals in the sculpture are seen holding a lotus and a box respectively. The lid of the box held by the immortal is slightly lifted, and a group of bats can be vaguely seen carved inside.

Lu Qingqing smiled contemptuously in her heart.

This Zhao Lang really knows how to please the Empress Dowager. On the surface, he presented gifts to the Emperor during his birthday banquet, but in fact, he was preparing gifts for his lover. He was quite thoughtful. I wonder who this passionate boy is?

I heard the Queen Mother call him Zhao Lang.

Zhao Lang, Zhao Lang!

Lu Qingqing thought to herself, since his surname is Zhao, and the empress dowager said that this golden statue was a gift for her, this amorous young man who had an affair with the empress dowager could not be the father of Concubine Shu!

She hid in the closet, knowing that her ideas were dangerous.

But what she saw before her eyes unequivocally confirmed her idea.

"Ke Xin, I can't give this to you at your birthday party, so I can only use this opportunity as a gift. This year, I specially asked the master to carve this statue of the two immortals of harmony and unity, hoping that our relationship will always be harmonious and beautiful."

After the man finished speaking, he hugged the empress dowager into his arms, and their necks leaned against each other intimately. The man also let out a long sigh, as if telling the empress dowager how difficult and hard it was for him to maintain their relationship.

The Queen Mother leaned on his shoulder, perhaps moved by the man's words, and kept whispering, "Zhao Lang... Zhao Lang..."

The two of them flirted with each other for a while, then hugged each other and walked towards the cabinet where Lu Qingqing was hiding, the distance between them getting closer and closer.

Got it!

There's no way I can keep peeking!

If the distance is too close, you will definitely be discovered!

She closed the cabinet door gently little by little. She was so flustered when hiding that she didn't notice that there was a bed next to the rosewood cabinet.

No way?! The two of them walked towards the bed because...

Before Lu Qingqing could fully imagine, the woman's charming and moving breathing had already penetrated the cabinet door and reached Lu Qingqing's ears.

This situation should be the most embarrassing moment for Lu Qingqing since she traveled through time.

The woman's voice was sometimes gentle and sometimes long, with her breathing and crying, and the sounds of flesh colliding one after another, and the bed also creaking rhythmically.

Even Lu Qingqing, the veteran driver hiding in the closet, couldn't help but blush and feel his heart beating fast.

About a quarter of an hour later, with the man's hoarse groaning, the hall gradually returned to calm.

Then the two of them quickly packed their clothes and left in a hurry without staying intimate on the couch for too long.

……

The hall fell into complete silence.

After Lu Qingqing confirmed again and again that she was the only one in the hall, she opened the cabinet door and tiptoed to leave.

At first she entered from the side door, which did not avoid attracting attention, but now she decided to leave from the back door. The back door of the rear hall was connected to the garden, which was covered by flowers, plants and trees, so she could leave the hall in a very hidden way.

She opened the back door a crack, carefully observed the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no one outside the hall, she stepped out with confidence.

Just as she turned around and was about to close the door.

Suddenly, a big, strong hand grabbed her neck.

"Tell me, who are you?!"
