Zu An frowned, and his first reaction was that Cheng Xiong had set up another trap?
However, he immediately realized that Cheng Xiong had just thrown Wang Zha at the emperor's place, and it was impossible for him to attack again so quickly.
"Miss, please lead the way." He was curious and decided to find out.
When she heard the title of young lady, the palace maid's pretty face turned red. Obviously, no one had ever talked to her like this before. This embroidered messenger was not as sinister and scary as his colleagues, but he spoke very nicely.
Soon she led Zu An to a quiet palace, which was filled with all kinds of flowers. It was really colorful and pleasing to the eye.
Zu An was a little surprised. These flowers were obviously not originally planted in the palace. He also planted some flowers in his yard, but they were far behind compared to this palace.
It was obvious that someone had cultivated it carefully, so he smiled and asked the palace maid: "Young lady has such skillful hands, she has grown so many beautiful flowers."
The palace maid's face turned slightly red: "This is from the mother-in-law's seed."
"Empress?" Zu An's head moved. He had seen most of the maids in the Queen's Palace, and this was obviously not Kunning Palace, so which empress was this?
"Is Mr. Eleven also a flower lover?" At this time, a gentle voice came.
Zu An looked up and saw a beautiful figure standing in the flowers not far away. She was pruning the branches and leaves with flower scissors in her hand. At this time, the palace maid next to her bowed and then slowly backed away.
"I've met Concubine Bai." Zu An recognized her immediately. He met her once when he first entered the palace. This gentle and shy woman left a deep impression on him.
At that time, she didn't even want to talk to her husband, but now she came specifically to find her. What was the reason?
Concubine Bai gave the flower cut to the maid next to her, took the wet towel and wiped her hands, then looked at Zu An: "You're welcome, Master Eleven."
Her temperament was very gentle, and she spoke in a soft voice, which really made people feel pity. Zu An couldn't help but sigh that the idiot prince was very beautiful and blessed.
The concubine explained Yuhua so tenderly.
"I just heard Master Eleven praise these flowers in the courtyard. It seems that Master is also a lover of flowers." Concubine Bai's eyes became softer, obviously she saw someone with the same hobby.
"I do love flowers too." Zu An secretly added, but what I love is the beauty of those women.
He subconsciously glanced around with the corner of his eyes, but didn't realize there was an ambush.
I don't blame him for being a treacherous person. She is actually a little scared by Cheng Xiong's various plots these days. Isn't this woman going to be with Cheng Xiong and then make a play to frame him and molest her?
"I don't know why Concubine Bai came to me?" Zu An asked cautiously. A beautiful woman is beautiful, but it would be bad if she is blinded by her beauty.
Concubine Bai showed a faint smile: "Before
You saved the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, but I haven't had time to thank you yet, so I specially invited you here today."
Zu An was stunned, she didn't expect this to be the reason, but as the crown prince's concubine, it was normal for her to thank him.
He cupped his hands and said, "This is my duty. I don't dare to take credit."
Concubine Bai said softly: "The Crown Princess has been rewarded today. If I don't express my feelings, I might be considered as not caring about the Crown Prince's safety. Does the Eleventh Master want to put me in such a predicament?"
Those eyes flickered, as if there were crystal water stains flowing.
Zu An secretly exclaimed that it was amazing that a woman who had given birth to a child could still be so pitiful.
He hurriedly replied: "I don't dare."
Concubine Bai went on to say: "Is it because the eleventh master dislikes that the gifts I send are not as good as those of the crown princess? That's right, a concubine like me really doesn't have much to offer."
Zu An knew that she said this deliberately, but he still couldn't help but feel a sense of pity in his heart, thinking that the women in the palace really didn't have fuel-efficient lamps.
"Concubine Bai's words are serious, I would like to thank you."
Concubine Bai nodded with satisfaction and asked the palace maid and eunuch who was holding the jewelry reward to wait aside.
She slowly walked to the pavilion nearby and sat down. Then, while pouring tea, she motioned for Zu An to sit down as well: "Master Eleven, please take a seat."
Zu An was stunned. It might not be good to sit at such a close distance.
At this time, Concubine Bai continued: "I always feel that just sending some common things is too cold and cannot express my gratitude to you for saving the prince, so I invite you to have a cup of flowers tea. This tea is made by collecting the flowers I planted myself."
Although it is not a precious thing, it is still rare."
Zu An replied: "Concubine Bai is too polite. This kind of tea is not precious. What kind of tea is precious?"
He also sat down opposite the table in the pavilion. Anyway, the place was empty, and there were palace maids and eunuchs standing not far away, so no one would misunderstand him.
When the other party chooses this place to treat me to tea, it should also be an expression of the beautiful scenery.
A gentle smile flashed in Concubine Bai's eyes, which could make people calm down unconsciously: "Master Eleven, please."
When she was pouring tea, she exposed a small part of her wrist, which was as delicate and white as milk. And maybe because she gave birth not long ago, her current movements made her chest look particularly plump and bulging.
Zu An looked at his eyes, nose and heart. It was not convenient to look more, so he lowered his head and looked at the flower tea in front of him.
Different from the common colors of green or brown tea soup, the flower tea in the cup has a faint hint of rose red. When paired with the emerald green porcelain cup, it is really pleasing to the eye.
He sighed from the bottom of his heart: "This tea is like a white concubine. The white jade inlaid with beads cannot match its beauty, and the first dew of roses cannot match its beauty."
.”
He regretted it as soon as the words came out of his mouth. He was used to praising his beautiful sister, but this was in the palace, and the other party had a special status, so it was really inappropriate.
As expected, Concubine Bai's face changed slightly after hearing these words, and she straightened up subconsciously, as if to distance herself from him, but she immediately noticed that the other person's eyes were clear, and there was no lust as imagined.
, just then he breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he was sincerely complimenting him.
A faint blush flashed across her fair face, just like the hundred-flower tea in this jasper cup: "Master Eleven is so complimentary."
Zu An smiled. It was not convenient to say anything at this time. He could only drink tea. As soon as he picked up the tea cup, he smelled a unique fragrance. It was different from the smell of any rouge gouache in the past. This fragrance was very fresh and natural: "It smells so good."
!”
Concubine Bai pursed her lips and smiled and said: "This tea combines the essence of flowers and naturally has a floral fragrance. In order to prevent its fragrance from being too rich and gaudy, I spent a lot of time researching it."
"The white concubine is indeed a beautiful woman with a pure orchid heart." Zu An praised. Originally, he was worried that the tea was poisonous, so he just took a sip, but just that small sip filled his mouth with fragrance, and he couldn't help but drink a few more sips.
Anyway, Concubine Bai probably wouldn't dare to openly poison the gold medal embroidered messenger. If it's an aphrodisiac, well, I have the most powerful aphrodisiac in the world anyway. This tea obviously doesn't have that familiar feeling.
Seeing him taking a few sips, Concubine Bai's eyes flashed with joy. After all, who doesn't want their hard work to be recognized.
But she suddenly thought that the other party compared the tea to her, but she kept drinking it at this time, wouldn't it...
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly changed the subject: "I heard that there is a great master among the assassins in the East Palace this time?"
Zu An put down the teacup: "Not bad, and she's a woman."
This is public information and there is nothing to hide.
Concubine Bai's eyes flashed with admiration: "It's really admirable for the Eleventh Master to protect the Crown Prince from the hands of the Grand Master."
Zu An's old face heated up: "To be honest with Concubine Bai, I can't even take the opponent's sword. It was the emperor who fought off the assassin."
Concubine Bai smiled softly: "Master Eleven is so humble. He can take on the Grandmaster's sword without any harm. This strength is enough to be proud of. What's more, I heard from the maids that it was precisely because of Master Eleven's hard work that we were able to do so in the first place.
You persisted until the emperor took action, so you are still the biggest hero."
"Concubine Bai, thank you." Zu An was a little confused. This woman is good-looking, has a gentle voice, and speaks nicely. It's really hard not to be distracted by her praise.
"By the way, I heard that the female assassin was injured and escaped. Have you caught her? If she hides somewhere in the palace, we people may be in danger," Concubine Bai said with some worry, "I don't care.
If the emperor's grandson is harmed in any way, I will really die."
