Chu Qiao lay down again and slowly fell asleep. She slept until dawn.
When she slowly opened her eyes, she found Liao Yun standing in front of her bed with her black hair disheveled and a sallow face, looking straight at her. At first glance, she looked like a female ghost.
Chu Qiao screamed in fright, sat up directly, and almost slapped the woman out. Was she sick? She was standing here like this to scare people.
"You, why are you standing next to my bed without combing your hair? You're scaring me to death." Chu Qiao patted her chest, gasping for air, her heart almost beating out of her chest.
How long has this woman been standing here? Silently, if she hadn't seen her face clearly, Chu Qiao would have thought she had met a ghost.
Lianyun rolled his little eyes and felt a little embarrassed. He smiled and whispered: "It's dawn. I was afraid that you would wake up late, so I came to call you. I saw you sleeping so soundly just now, and I couldn't bear to call you.
"
This woman was so serious that she even thought about asking Chu Qiao to get up. Cold sweat was still covering Chu Qiao's back. She really wanted to scold Lian Yun, but considering that she also had good intentions, she still endured it.
Living.
"never mind."
Chu Qiao pinched her forehead. She was tortured by Lianyun in the middle of the night and was frightened by her again in the morning. This energetic person couldn't lift herself up and was so sleepy.
"Sister Chunxiang, you are so beautiful and your skin is as white as milk."
When Lian Yun said these words, Chu Qiao felt that her eyes were about to bite her in the face. Chu Qiao subconsciously covered her face to be on guard.
"Okay, don't call me anymore. I can get up by myself. Even if I want to come in, I should comb my hair and stop it from being disheveled."
Chu Qiao felt uncomfortable all over. Lian Yun acted like a servant girl to her.
In the palace, Chu Qiao was just a low-level servant. How could she dare to have someone guard her bed like this?
Liao Yun still smiled so stupidly, so innocently that she couldn't help but feel angry, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He glanced at her again and found that there was eye mucus in the corners of her eyes, and Chu Qiao burst into laughter.
"Sister Chunxiang, you look good when you smile. You are so beautiful. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
This girl's mouth is really a waste to be a female cook. If she were placed next to any empress, she would not be a celebrity?
But Chu Qiong didn't know that all this was just an act. The real Lianyun was thoughtful and ruthless. The special environment made her special. Even ten orchid flowers were no match for her. They were her most powerful weapon.
It is the combination of tolerance and attack that makes you defenseless.
"If you don't wash your face or comb your hair, aren't you afraid of being late?" Chu Qiao asked with a smile.
"Oh, oh, I'm just here to see how beautiful Sister Chunxiang is. It's time to compete, and I have to wash my face. It's strange, where did my comb go? Was it still here just now?"
Ling Yun muttered and walked out.
When Chu Qiao saw Li Yun leaving, she carefully raised her leg and tried to move it. Chu Xia was right, the medicine was very useful. After just one night, her leg was much better and the pain was less. But
Chu Qiao also had to guard against the reckless Liao Yun outside, lest she touch her leg again and get into trouble.
Just after Chu Qiao had combed her hair and tidied her clothes, Liao Yun came in with a smile again.
"Sister Chunxiang, I'll help you go. I won't be taking the test outside today. I'm in the dining room. I heard that cooking is about to start. If it's really happening, you have to be mentally prepared. I came from the countryside and I've never seen this before.
You have no future in the world, and you might become a jerk in the next round, so you have to be more careful."
After saying that, Li Yun walked up and held Chu Qiao's arm. She looked much more careful this time. Her hair was combed and her clothes were neatly dressed. She looked much more pleasing to the eye than before, but her eyes were still the same.
Small and not very pretty.
"You should call me Li Chunxiang. In terms of age, I am not necessarily older than you. You are only fourteen years old." Chu Qiao reminded Lian Yun.
"Haha, I'm one year older than you, but I heard those eunuch brothers call you that, it's very affectionate, so I followed suit, and it sounds nice, haha, Sister Chunxiang."
Her smile was like spring water bubbling out one after another, which was very nice.
Not only did Lian Yun call Chu Qiao Chunxiang sister, but she also called the eunuchs who carried the water, eunuch brother? I believe that in a short time, no one here would be bothered by her.
After helping Chu Qiao out of the room, Lianyun squinted her eyes and greeted the palace ladies who passed by. Those people rolled their eyes and looked at her, but she was not angry at all.
At this moment, Chu Qiao really believed that she was indeed a bit stupid.
There are two rounds in today's game, and the final result will be decided today. Who stays and who goes.
Just as Lian Yun said, the competition was held in the dining room. There were a total of twenty-five people participating, including Chu Qiao and Lian Yun. Lian Yun was standing far away from Chu Qiao.
She can't see her body at all.
Just when Chu Qiao leaned forward to look, Lian Yun made a cheering gesture towards her, which looked very cute.
What a fool. She and she are competitors. Chu Qiao quickly withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at Liao Yun.
The competition was about to begin, and the presiding eunuch had already come in, fiddling with the paper and silk in his hand. Eunuch Ping, the supervising eunuch, and several senior chefs from yesterday walked in together. Eunuch Chen and Eunuch Lan came in one after another.
There are four men in official uniforms, and naturally there are also a few ladies who like delicious food.
But the last person who came in was a special person...
She is the woman that Chu Qiao has always wanted to see, but has never had the chance to meet, and has always been thinking about her.
"Oh, Concubine Li, why are you here?"
Eunuch Chen, Eunuch Ping, and Eunuch Lan all stood up. Although this was just a little beautiful concubine, because she had a dragon seed in her belly, and her status was noble, she gave birth to a prince, so they immediately came to station.
In the Chonghua Palace, how dare these father-in-laws to neglect themselves?
The title "Libi" made Chu Qiao's shoulders tremble, her heart trembled, and she looked over quickly.
A gorgeously dressed woman came in from the door, wearing a rich embroidered gold-gilded robe, a floor-length skirt with flying birds, flowers with beads on her head, a lily branch, and black hair, making her look very pure.
Many palace maids accompanied her and took care of her carefully. They didn't dare to neglect her even for a moment.
Libi's belly is fairly flat and she should still be in the early stages of pregnancy.
Although this place was not close to Concubine Li, as soon as she came in, Chu Qiao still smelled the same fragrance as in Empress Zhaoyi's bedroom. No doubt, she had wiped off the incense that Empress Zhaoyi had sent Ye Yunfang.
Although the bad thing was not Chu Qiao's fault, she felt like a thief when she saw Li Bin in person, and sweat quickly formed on the tip of her nose.
