In the copper mirror, her face was pale, and although her appearance was beautiful, there was always a bit of haggardness between her eyebrows and at the corners of her eyes.
Emily looked at herself in the copper mirror, trying to raise a smile, but she couldnt remember when she had a good laugh last time.
She tried to smile, but her lips seemed to be weighed down by something, and she couldnt lift them up.
"Your Majesty, this was just sent over," Lily Green looked at Emily with a complicated expression, placing a bowl of soup gently on the edge of the dressing table.
Emily glanced at the bowl of soup, and the corners of her mouth that she had barely raised fell again, and in the end, she only revealed a bitter smile. This was the contraceptive soup sent by William. Every time he favored her, someone would quietly send this, and he never missed it. He didnt want her to have his child.
Reaching out to pick up the bowl of contraceptive soup, Emily drank it slowly under Lilys gaze, one sip at a time.
A tear slid down, fell into the bowl, and then entered her throat, making the soup even more bitter.
"Queen, are you up?" Mary Smiths voice came from outside the door.
Lilys face was a little nervous, she looked at Emily, and Emily handed the bowl to Lily, indicating that she should open the door.
Mary Smith was from the Queen Mothers palace, and Emily knew that she must have come over because her aunt had some instructions. She looked at herself in the copper mirror, although she looked a bit haggard, but fortunately, she was still normal and should not be able to see any clues.
Lily put the bowl in her hand on the table behind the teapot and quickly went to open the door.
After opening the door, Lily smiled and made a slight bow, "Why did Mary Smith come over?"
"Naturally, its an order from the Queen Mother. Is the queen up?" Mary Smith has been in the palace for nearly thirty years. Although her appearance is somewhat aged, her eyes are full of sharpness.
"Im up, please come in," Lily respectfully stepped aside, and she was actually a bit scared of Mary Smith. After all, she is an old person in the palace, and her eyes have seen too much. She is afraid of being seen through by her.
Inside the room, Emily inserted a jade hairpin into her hair and stood up. Her legs were still weak, and after walking two steps, she had to sit down by the table again.
Mary Smith walked in and saw Emily sitting by the table and greeted her, "Your servant has seen the queen."
"Dont be too polite, Mary Smith. I dont know what my aunt sent you for?" Emily forced a smile and asked.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said she hasnt seen you for several days. She wants you to accompany her to chat and talk when you have time," Mary Smith said with a smile on her face, and her eyes quickly scanned the bowl on the table, a trace of doubt flashed in her heart. But on the surface, she didnt show anything.
Emilys expression darkened, she nodded and said with a smile, "Its really my negligence, I forgot to greet my aunt these days. After breakfast, I will go to see my aunt immediately."
"You dont have to rush, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother said that she is just bored and wants to chat with Your Majesty to pass the time. If you have something to do, you dont have to care too much," Mary Smith said with her head down, her white hair combed neatly.
Emily smiled, not to mention that she has nothing to do all day, even if she really has something to do, since her aunt has sent Mary Smith, how could she really not go. "I dont have anything either, Mary Smith, please reply for me, I will go to greet my aunt later, thank you for your trouble."
"Youre welcome, Your Majesty!" Mary Smith bowed again, "Then Ill leave first."
"Lily, see Mary Smith off."
