Now that it was dawn, Chu Qiao had nothing to be afraid of. She believed that even if those people were brave, they would not dare to take action during the day. However, she did not expect that during the day, when everyone was busy with the state banquet, it would be her most dangerous moment.
"Coming, coming."
Chu Qiao responded several times and opened the door. Sure enough, it was the palace maid next to Xue Wanyue. She was holding a tray in her hand, which contained a set of light yellow clothes. The bright yellow was mixed with a little bit of silk.
It's green, and the material looks to be of the highest quality. It's the finest weaving from the palace, and the workmanship is also very precise.
This should be the official palace attire of the harem. Why is she, a doctor from the imperial hospital, wearing this? Today she is welcoming a visit from Mongolia. Why is she trying to attract attention?
"This is..." Chu Qiao wanted to know the purpose of sending these clothes.
"At this state banquet, Mr. Li, as the person in charge of the Royal Fragrance Room and an expert in aromatherapy, will be responsible for the aromatherapy work in the residences and offices of distinguished guests such as the Mongolian queen and princess. Naturally, you will also be present. Some details are up to you.
Come on, Master Shangshi hopes to achieve perfection. As for this set of palace clothes, please change into it? This is also what the emperor wants."
After the palace maid finished speaking, she put down her clothes and stood aside respectfully. If Chu Qiao had no other questions to ask, she would have to go back and resume her life.
Chu Qiao was not surprised at being responsible for the aromatherapy work at the scene. She had already been recognized by Lord Shang Shi, and she had done an outstanding job. However, the clothes were the emperor's intention, which was a bit difficult for her to understand.
"Chunxiang doesn't understand what the emperor means. It seems more appropriate for me to wear hospital clothes." Chu Qiao said in a low voice.
"This slave doesn't know about this. This is how Lord Shang Shi told this slave. She must have received the emperor's order and she was just passing on the message."
Although the palace maid was passing a message, these words were the emperor's oral instructions. How could Chu Qiao not listen?
She had been uneasy last night, fearing that the small blessing they had really told her would be lucky if she didn't bite off her head if she took one bite. She couldn't be embarrassed about a set of clothes at this time.
"Chunxiang obeys your order." Chu Qiao responded.
"You still have time, please take care of it slowly. This is rouge and gouache. Please step back."
The palace maid put down a delicate small box and then respectfully stepped out.
Even the rouge and gouache were prepared, Master Shang Shi was really attentive, but Chu Qiao had no intention of dressing up in a flashy and fragrant way, so she would be unlucky enough, but she would not dare to attract the attention of those empresses.
Putting on a yellow palace dress, Chu Qiao stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the girl in the mirror. She was about the same age, with pink cheeks, and paired with such a palace dress, she was really elegant and charming.
Above it is a light yellow tulip damask Ruyi moire blouse, a dark yellow elegant damask shawl, and a jade-colored embroidered branch-heaved flower skirt. No matter how you look at it, they are all elegant and charming. Her lightly painted cheeks become more delicate and charming.
How dare you wear this outfit out?
Chu Qiao looked at herself in the mirror. Everyone was proud of her beauty, but she was afraid of being in the limelight. She was overwhelmed by the many things happening one after another.
Wearing this dress, Chu Qiao felt uneasy, whether she wanted to take it off or not. Just when she was hesitating, someone knocked on the door a few times.
Who is it?
Chu Qiao hurriedly walked over and found that the door was ajar. The palace maid must have left the door open when she left. She looked through the crack in the door and saw Chong Ximo.
Chong Ximo had already put on formal official uniform and stood there majestically.
Chu Qiao really didn't want to see him like this, and felt extremely uncomfortable, but she thought about not seeing him, so she had no choice but to open the door.
Chong Ximo raised his eyes and was stunned for a moment. He stared at Chu Qiao for a long time, almost unblinking, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.
The woman in front of him was as pretty as a peach in three springs and as pure as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns. He considered himself not a womanizer. He had seen Chu Qiao many times, but he was still shocked. The girl who put on palace clothes almost looked like a woman.
She is the most beautiful woman in the world. Her beauty exudes a wild and extraordinary temperament that makes people want to hunt her.
"I, I..." Chu Qiao said the word "I" twice before being speechless. Why was he looking at her like that? She just changed a set of clothes, she was still her.
"Take it off!"
Chong Ximo suddenly took a step forward, widened his handsome eyes, and grabbed Chu Qiao's clothes. Who told her to wear it like this? The admiration between his brows instantly turned into anger and annoyance, and he was almost ready to wear it.
Chu Qiao's clothes were torn off.
Jealousy, Chong Ximo couldn't control the jealousy in his heart. The Thirteenth Prince likes Li Chunxiang, does the Emperor do the same? Undoubtedly, such a beautiful and smart woman will attract countless eyeballs. If Li Chunxiang is really given a chance, she will definitely be there.
There was no woman in the harem who could compare with her.
With her mind, ability, and beauty, how could she lose?
Suddenly, Chong Ximo found that he could no longer grasp Li Chunxiang, but he really fell into it and couldn't extricate himself.
Chu Qiao didn't expect that Chong Ximo would be so angry and rudely asked her to take off her clothes.
"I don't want to wear it either. Master Shang Shi said that this is the emperor's wish. If I don't wear it, I am disobeying the emperor's order." Chu Qiao explained that she had no choice now.
"You have already disobeyed the emperor's order once. You are not alive anymore. Go and take off your clothes! The emperor will not do anything to you."
Chong Ximo's voice dropped. The emperor indulged Li Chunxiang very much. Even if he ran away too recklessly against those little eunuchs last night, the emperor did not order her to be captured. Chong Ximo was even more sure of his guess.
Can taking off these clothes change the situation? It seems that this is self-deception.
"Have I disobeyed once?" Chu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then bit her finger. Her head was not made of elm wood. Chong Ximo reminded her like this, and she knew that Xiao Fuqi's visit to Tai Hospital last night was wrong.
He wanted to harm her, but he really brought the emperor's instructions.
"Oops, I bit that little eunuch, and I thought they were pretending to convey the emperor's instructions. What should I do?"
Chu Qiao had a sad face. Her uncle had offended the emperor before the matter was settled. Can he still live like this? No... Chu Qiao picked up her skirt, turned around and ran away.
"Why are you going?" Chong Ximo grabbed Chu Qiao's arm. Wasn't she going to the prescription room? Why are you running in such a hurry?
"Why are you going? Run for your life. I'll leave the palace and hide first..."
Chu Qiao felt that Chong Ximo was really stupid. Why didn't he run away at this time? If he offended the empress, he could still deal with it. If he offended the emperor, he would just break the law. Why don't you hide and wait for death?
