Chu Qiao believed that even if Li Chunxiang herself was still alive, she might not have known this woman. She was an old girl. She followed Ye Yunfang out of the palace not long after she entered the palace. She died of illness within a few days. She only knew a few people.
.
"It turns out he's just here. No wonder he didn't shout respectfully when he saw me." The woman raised her eyebrows.
So she is a princess? No wonder she got the clothes as a gift from the Mongolian princess. Although Chu Qiao was suspicious, she really didn’t dare to think what kind of princess this reckless girl could be?
"Princess, this servant really doesn't know. Besides, when she came in just now, the princess didn't give Chunxiang a chance to speak." Chu Qiao took a step back.
"Now that you know it, why don't you kneel down?"
The self-proclaimed princess raised her chin, waiting for Chu Qiao to kneel down to her.
Chu Qiao lowered her head, knowing that if she didn't kneel down today, she would have an enemy, and she might be committing a crime of disrespect. She was a little palace maid, and if she wasn't half shorter, it would be difficult for her to leave this office.
.
Just when Chu Qiao pursed her lips and was about to kneel down, Chong Ximo suddenly put down the cake and stood up coldly.
"Okay, her leg is injured, so there's no need to kneel."
"Brother Ximo?"
The princess turned around and saw that Chong Ximo's face was not very good, so she relaxed coyly and no longer insisted on letting Chu Qiao kneel down.
"Okay, okay, don't kneel down, and don't leave yet. I didn't bring the maid here. You can follow me later and help me get something." The princess ordered impatiently.
"In the imperial kitchen, we are still waiting for the slave to reply. Besides, Chunxiang is just a low-level kitchen servant. She usually only sweeps the floor, chops vegetables, and washes. She has never really served the master. The princess has a golden branch and a delicate body. Chunxiang is afraid that she will not be able to take care of her.
Zhou, your mouth is also stupid, it will upset the princess, Chunxiang cannot afford to suffer."
Chu Qiao's words greatly flattered the princess' status and revealed her humble status. When the princess heard this, she felt better and was not as angry as before. She felt that Chunxiang was quite smart.
"I don't blame you. As for the imperial dining room, I can just let Xiao Linzi explain it," the princess said.
"Chunxiang obeys your orders."
Chu Qiao didn't dare to shirk the blame anymore. She was a princess and she was a palace maid. The princess had already said so. If she still insisted on going back, she would not be giving her face.
"Okay, you wait at the door first."
"yes."
Chu Qiao agreed, turned around and retreated. Standing at the door, she could still hear the princess's voice.
"Did you know? Master Liang came back this time, and he brought a request from the Queen of Mongolia, asking my royal brother to help find a person."
"Who?" Chong Ximo asked.
"I heard that she was the little princess of Mongolia who was lost more than ten years ago. Not long after the child was born, she was stolen by a maid and ran away to the Western Regions."
"It's been more than ten years, maybe there is no hope." Chong Ximo responded.
"This matter has always been a worry for the Queen of Mongolia. She has been looking for it for more than ten years. The person who gave me this dress is the sister of the little princess who was stolen. Because of this, she and the Queen want to come to Kyoto in person.
, just seven days later, but...but..."
As the princess spoke, her voice became a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Chong Ximo's voice was still so calm, as if he wasn't very interested in the Mongolian princess's upcoming visit to Kyoto.
The princess hesitated for a long time and said something unhappy.
"Brother Huang said that if you think the Mongolian princess is good, I will take advantage of this marriage between the two countries to make you the consort of Mongolia!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the room immediately became quiet.
It's really surprising that the emperor actually wants to arrange a marriage between Chong Ximo and a Mongolian princess? It seems that Chong Ximo's identity...
Chu Qiao stood outside the door and couldn't see Chong Ximo's expression. She didn't know whether he was happy, angry, or had no expression about the emperor's plan. Judging from this silence, he probably wasn't mentally prepared for this.
It came a bit suddenly.
"Brother Huang obviously knows that I like you, but he secretly wants to form a marriage. I don't know if it's intentional, huh!" The princess snorted and spoke very straightforwardly. She said that she liked Chong Ximo without shame, but this
The fact that the words came out of the princess's mouth just confirmed her reckless temper just now.
"Go back, I want to be alone." Chong Ximo's voice was very low, and you could hear a little bit of boredom.
"Brother Xi Mo, have I made you unhappy?" the princess asked in a low voice.
"No."
As soon as Chong Ximo's voice fell, the sound of a chair being dragged could be heard in the room, and then his tall figure walked out of the door.
When Chu Qiao saw Chong Ximo coming out, she hurriedly stepped aside. He just looked at her and walked out without saying anything.
The princess then chased her out and shouted at Chu Qiao.
"Why don't you follow up with the pastries?"
"Yes, princess."
It seemed that she was destined to be the princess's follower today. Chu Qiao quickly went into the room and brought out the cakes, then chased after her.
The princess held up her skirt and ran all the way until she caught up with Chong Ximo, who was striding like a meteor. Chu Qiao was running out of breath. After following their pace, she didn't have enough breath. How could this guy walk so fast? If she was
If you were any slower, you would be left behind by them.
Maybe she was walking faster and she was holding something in her hand. Something tripped under her feet. She stumbled and almost fell out. Chong Ximo's pace slowed down slightly.
Although his speed had slowed down, he still walked in front with his eyebrows furrowed. The princess had a hard time following him, but Chu Qiao slowly recovered, but she did not dare to pass the princess.
But faintly, Chu Qiao could feel that Chong Ximo didn't seem to like being followed by the princess like this, and his brows were kept furrowed.
After walking for about a cup of tea, a palace maid came in a hurry.
"Princess Xuening, I have been looking for you for a while. The Queen Mother has not agreed. Do you want to accompany her to see the snow scene? The Queen Mother has been waiting for you all afternoon."
"Oh! I almost forgot, now it's too bad."
The princess covered her mouth and seemed to have remembered. She raised her feet to leave, but after thinking about it, she turned back and warned Chu Qiao.
"I'll go back first. You carry the pastry and follow him. You can only go back after he finishes eating."
"Slave, slave..."
Chu Qiao didn't know what to say. If Chong Ximo didn't like eating this cake, would she have to carry it and follow him? It was like someone had a tail.
"Remember, I'm leaving first."
Princess Xuening glanced at Chu Qiao secretly, asking her to follow carefully, and then hurriedly left with the palace maid.
Chu Qiao frowned while holding the pastry, cursing secretly in her heart. The more she didn't want to be alone with Chong Ximo, it was so embarrassing that she had to have such an embarrassing situation.
