Not daring to hesitate too much, she picked up the tea cup and said, "Thank you for the reward, may I ask what this is?"
Concubine Ling said with a smile: "On weekdays, the maids work for me. I care about my subordinates and will reward you with a cup of tea every day. You can just drink it."
"Your Majesty, you are so compassionate." Chu Jiaoli said in agreement, watching Concubine Ling drink the tea, she also raised her glass to drink.
This tea is fragrant and sweet, but after drinking it for a long time, I still can’t tell what kind of tea it is.
After drinking a cup, she followed the others and put the teacup back to its place.
"Okay, let's go back. I'm still waiting for the clothes you made." After saying this, Concubine Ling raised her hand and gently stroked her forehead, then lay down on her side lazily.
"Yes, I will leave this slave."
Looking at her leaving figure, Concubine Ling sighed softly and said to Hongying: "This girl is so clever. I really want to take her in and replace you."
Hearing this, Hongying was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and cried, and said: "My queen, I have served you with all my heart and soul for two years. There is no merit but hard work. Please don't drive me away."
"That's what I mean." Concubine Ling sneered and said, "She is too beautiful and too young. I am not stupid to leave such a disaster."
Chu Jiaoli, who had just walked out of Leling Palace, suddenly felt her heart beat as fast as a hammer. She clenched her fists tightly and took a few deep breaths before she could calm down.
It's like I just came out of the gate of hell. It's really not easy for people right now.
Muyang Palace.
Beigong Tengxiao had just finished his morning dynasty. He exhaled softly, walked into the front yard, and said to Zi Lin beside him: "Has Jiao Li gone to bed?"
Hearing this, before Zi Lin could answer, Jing Yue said with a serious face: "Your Highness, Jiao Li was taken away by Hong Ying of Leling Palace."
Beigong Tengxiao immediately stopped, slowly clenched his fists, and said sternly to Jingyue: "Didn't I tell you to take good care of her?"
Jingyue lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, she promised to follow her."
Beigong Tengxiao closed his eyes, sighed softly, and said: "Thirty big boards."
Jingyue's eyes were full of surprise, she was just a maid, he didn't care much, why was Beigong Tengxiao so interested...
"Your Highness, you are just a maid..."
Beigong Tengxiao opened his angry eyes and said: "If she loses her temper, I want you to look good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Beigong Tengxiao saw a figure walking past the door. In a blink of an eye, the stone hanging in his heart quickly fell.
He walked quickly to Chu Jiaoli, frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay away from Concubine Ling?"
Seeing his anxious look, Chu Jiaoli was slightly startled, then quickly lowered her head and said: "Concubine Ling wants to find a slave, and I dare not refuse."
"You!" Beigong Tengxiao said, out of breath, "I, the majestic prince, can't protect you?"
"I don't want to cause trouble to His Highness." Chu Jiaoli pursed her lips and said, "Concubine Ling is deeply loved by Your Majesty. If Your Highness offends her, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Your Highness."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao laughed angrily: "You are the most reasonable." He hesitated and wanted to continue scolding, but felt that it was unreasonable. He could only sigh helplessly and said, "She has
Didn’t do anything to you?”
"Concubine Ling... gave this servant a cup of tea." Chu Jiaoli whispered.
Beigong Tengxiao clenched his fist tightly and said to Jingyue beside him: "Fifty!"
Jingyue didn't dare to disobey, so she lowered her head and said, "Yes."
A quarter of an hour later.
The old imperial doctor from Taiyuan Hospital was feeling the pulse on Chu Jiaoli's wrist.
Although the maids took the tea cups at will, there was no guarantee that someone would not do anything about it. There were too many little tricks in the palace, so we had to guard against them.
After a while, the imperial doctor stood up and bowed to Beigong Tengxiao, saying: "Your Highness, Miss Jiaoli is in good health."
Hearing this, Beigong Tengxiao and Chu Jiaoli both breathed a sigh of relief. It would be good if the tea was non-toxic.
When the old imperial doctor came just now, Beigong Tengxiao asked him to check his own pulse, and then "by the way" he checked Chu Jiaoli.
Beigong Tengxiao stood with his hands behind his hands and said: "Recently, there has been a cough in the market outside. It is inevitable that the servants will go out to buy things. Please check all the servants in this house."
Hearing this, the old imperial doctor did not have any doubts and immediately responded: "Your Highness has considered it carefully. I will check it now."
In this way, Chu Jiaoli could be dispelled from her remarks about asking the imperial doctor to check her body after she came back from Leling Palace. If Concubine Ling found out about it, she would probably die.
Chu Jiaoli bit her lip and secretly glanced at Beigong Tengxiao.
Does he care about her? So much trouble...
Beigong Tengxiao suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
Chu Jiaoli was startled and immediately looked away.
"Go back to your room and rest, don't forget what happened tonight."
After finishing her words, Chu Jiaoli swallowed her saliva and softly responded: "Yes."
Xianghou Mansion.
In front of the gate, a girl in blue was pacing back and forth anxiously. When she saw someone coming out, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Xiang, I have something to see you for."
Xiang Yini, who was wearing a pink chest-length skirt, had exquisite and elegant makeup. Looking at the anxious woman in front of her, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Miss Hua Er?"
Hua Yuejin bit her lip, grabbed her arm, and said: "Miss Xiang, Chu Jiaoli is in danger to you, you must deal with her, otherwise your position as Crown Princess..."
Hearing this, Xiang Yini showed a polite smile, and slowly pushed away her hand holding hers with her other hand, saying: "I'm really sorry, Miss Hua Er, I have to attend the poetry meeting held by the Imperial College today. It's very important.
I can't entertain you in person anymore, I will definitely visit you when I have free time another day."
After saying that, she nodded politely, then got into the carriage and left with her gorgeous skirt in hand.
"Miss Xiang! The situation is urgent!" Hua Yuejin frowned and shouted from behind the carriage.
Xiang Yini, who was in the carriage, raised her hand to rub her sore knees, gritted her teeth tightly, and frowned slightly in discomfort.
The maid Huan Pei frowned slightly worriedly, immediately stretched out her hand to help rub it, and said: "Miss, does it still hurt?"
Xiang Yinishu raised her eyebrows, sighed softly, and said, "I've been kneeling for two hours. Does it stop hurting?"
"The master is so cruel..." Huan Pei frowned unwillingly and said angrily, "It's all that Chu Jiaoli's fault!"
"Huan wear, be careful what you say." Xiang Yini slowly grasped the dress on her knees and reminded her while holding back her anger.
"Yes." Huanpei responded in frustration, then turned to look in the direction of Xianghou Mansion and said, "Speaking of Miss, does Miss Huaer just ignore her like this? She said that Chu Jiaoli..."
Xiang Yini frowned slightly and said with a serious expression: "I don't know what kind of grudge she has with Chu Jiaoli. She and I have never met each other in normal times. How could she be so kind when she suddenly reminds me today? She is probably interested in our power.
Big, if you want to borrow a knife to kill someone, we should be careful not to get into trouble."
"Yes." Huan Pei reluctantly pouted.
Xiang Yini looked at her for a while, showed a faint smile, and said: "After tonight, everything will be calm."
