When Chu Qiao heard the Queen Mother calling her over, she was a little confused. She didn't know what this woman wanted to do. She frowned slightly and glanced at Chong Ximo uneasily, as if asking for his opinion, what should we do now?
?
Why does the Queen Mother want to see her? She doesn't really plan to give her to this lecher after the state banquet, right? If that's the case, Chu Qiao swears that she will castrate this guy first, then chop him into pieces, and then
Stewed.
"Still not passing?"
Chong Ximo winked at Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao quickly lowered her head, approached the Empress Dowager, and responded in a low voice.
"Chunxiang is here."
"Look up. The lighting here is not good, and Ai Jia can't see clearly."
Chu Qiao raised her head mechanically. After the Empress Dowager glanced casually, she immediately froze. She didn't say anything for a long time.
"Grandma Huang, aren't you pretty? You are different from other palace maids, you are so energetic...pleasant." The young Marquis asked the Empress Dowager in a low voice.
"This, this girl? Are you Han?"
The Empress Dowager suddenly asked a strange question. Chu Qiao also had her head covered. If she was not Han, could she still be Mongolian?
"Chunxiang is Han, and the whole family is Han." Chu Qiao replied.
"They really look like the same person."
The Queen Mother averted her gaze, looking a little suspicious.
"Grandma Huang..."
When the young marquis wanted to say something else, the empress dowager was already a little impatient. She pushed his hand away and said displeasedly: "You also heard it. She is the imperial cook, not a palace maid. If you always get up in the future,
If you have this idea, don't come to the palace. If you make the emperor unhappy, the Ai family will not protect you."
Why did the Queen Mother suddenly take a turn for the worse after looking at Chu Qiao's face? The little Marquis was confused by some monks. How could he suddenly become angry? But he didn't have the guts to talk nonsense anymore, and he didn't dare.
He held the Empress Dowager's arm again.
The Empress Dowager moved her eyes away from Chu Qiao's cheek, and Chu Qiao also stepped back. She was about to leave, but the Empress Dowager didn't say anything. She didn't dare to walk away easily. Of course, she was also afraid that she would get ahead of herself.
The Marquis is catching up again, so for the time being it is better to follow the Empress Dowager.
After walking for a while, the Queen Mother suddenly asked Chong Ximo.
"During that time, I heard that you were seriously ill. Where did you find this recipe? You seemed like a good person."
"Folk prescriptions are pretty good."
Chong Ximo replied in a low voice next to the Empress Dowager, and Chu Qiao listened clearly. It turned out that this guy was really sick. It seems that the legend said that he was so sick that he almost coughed out his lungs. It was not false.
But looking at his current physical condition, it's hard to tell that he was ever sick.
"There are so many experts among the people here."
The Empress Dowager sighed, and then yawned. She said that she was old and like this after walking for a while, so she asked Chong Ximo and the young Marquis to go back first, and it was time for her to rest.
"Farewell to the Queen Mother."
After Chong Ximo's words, the young Marquis also said: "Congratulations to Grandma Huang. I wish Grandma Huang good health and live younger."
The young Marquis's flattering words almost made Chu Qiao laugh. Everyone knows that people can only grow older as they live, and they will grow older no matter how much they are taken care of. It seems that he has such a sweet mouth and is loved by the Empress Dowager.
As soon as the Empress Dowager left, the situation changed, and Chu Qiao sneaked behind Chong Ximo again.
"Master Chong, Ma, please send me back." Chu Qiao hid while looking at the young marquis. When the young man saw Chu Qiao hiding like this, it was as if he was avoiding the plague, and his face turned green.
"Master Chong is very busy, so I'll see you off." The young Marquis stepped forward.
"No, Mr. Chong happened to be on his way, but you are still in the palace so late. It would be bad if your grandma asked about it," Chu Qiao shouted boldly.
"You girl, let's see if I don't catch you!"
The young Marquis bit his lip and pretended to run over and catch Chu Qiao.
Chong Ximo's expression was stern, and he took a step forward, forcing the young Marquis to take a step back.
"Chong Ximo, that's it. In a few days, the Mongolian princess will be here. I heard she is also a very beautiful woman. Don't you feel short-sighted if you leave the princess alone and keep staring at a palace maid?"
The little Marquis jumped his feet and shouted.
"This is my business, you don't need to worry about it, little Marquis."
Chong Ximo glanced at the young Marquis coldly, then returned his hand and held Chu Qiao's little hand, pulled her directly in front of him, and hugged Chu Qiao's shoulders. This action fully showed to the young Marquis that,
No one else can make up her mind about this woman, she belongs to him.
Chu Qiao was really unprepared. Her hand was suddenly held and she was hugged, and she was stunned. His hand was big, hot, and his arms were strong, which made her heart tremble.
"Okay, okay, you're capable, you're romantic, you're better than me, Chong Ximo, let's see." The young Marquis turned around angrily and lost his temper at the two followers before he groaned.
The earth left the palace.
In an instant, Chu Qiao and Chong Ximo were the only two people left on the road. Chu Qiao twitched her hand in embarrassment, but he held her hand tightly.
"Now, I can go back by myself." Chu Qiao reminded Chong Ximo in a low voice. Although there was no one around, she still felt embarrassed.
"I send you."
After Chong Ximo finished speaking, he dragged Chu Qiao and headed towards Yayuan.
He actually wanted to send her back to Yayuan. This reminded her of that damn kiss, and her heart was so nervous that she almost forgot about the old chef.
Soon Yayuan was in front of her, Chong Ximo let go of Chu Qiao's hand and stared at her with a pair of fierce eyes.
"When will you be more honest? This is the palace, not the streets of the capital!"
Chong Ximo was actually scolding her?
Chu Qiao looked at him blankly and didn't say anything for a long time. It seemed that the young Marquis was the one who got lustful about this matter today, and it was not her who provoked her. However, one fact cannot be disputed. If she hadn't gone everywhere
He was walking around randomly, how could he bump into the young Marquis?
I have already met this person twice, and I am afraid that the young Marquis will not let Chu Qiao off so easily in the future, because he has gotten into trouble.
"Rather than let that bastard play with you, why not come with me tonight!" Chong Ximo suddenly hugged Chu Qiao's waist, held her tightly in front of his chest, and dragged her towards Yayuan.
This move of Chong Ximo frightened Chu Qiao, and instantly, her face turned pale.
"You, what did you say? You..."
Her tongue was knotted and her words were unclear. Chong Ximo walked very quickly, opened the door of Yayuan, closed it again, and locked it...
He doesn't really want to...
Chu Qiao struggled to break away, but his arm was like an iron fist, tightly holding her waist, and her slim waist was almost broken.
