"Madam is right! We have finished delivering this gift. Madam, shall we go home?"
The lord lovingly grasped his wife's hand and earnestly asked.
"Alright then!"
The wife stood up and readily agreed.
The lady held onto me and said a few words that she didn't want to let go, "You must come to my house often to see her," and Rong Bai also said a few grateful words of courtesy.
All along, Rong Ye, who hadn't said a word, walked at the back. When he passed by me, his pretty face suddenly turned red, and then he whispered, "Be sure to come to Fuyonglou in West Street for a meal! That... is my place!"
I just wanted to ask for the specific location, but he slipped away like the wind, chasing after his parents ahead.
I shook my head, feeling quite helpless.
"They've already disappeared, and here I am standing at the door, just watching!"
Motang leaned out from behind me, rolled his eyes at me with a cold hum, and his tone was very unfriendly.
Me: "..."
I swear, this time, I absolutely have no evil intentions!
Just now I didn't feel anything, but after sending someone away, I realized that I was starving to death.
In the early morning, I entered the palace and had some light snacks and tea at the Phoenix Pavilion of the Empress. Shortly after returning, I was called to have a long conversation with the Prince and Princess.
Fortunately, Motang understood me. After sending away the prince and princess, he immediately ordered the kitchen to prepare meals.
I quickly peeled a banana to satisfy my hunger, but I looked at the pastries on the plate and still wanted to eat them. So, I decided to personally call Qingxue and Yunyi over to have the meal while waiting for the food.
主要我也是想去看看,她和云逸这对儿活宝在干什么!
走到后院,只见晴雪她正一个人在台阶上踱步,上上下下的。这丫头,今日竟然没去缠着云逸?
I wondered in my heart and walked straight towards her. Before I knew it, when Qingxue was descending the last step, her foot slipped and she stumbled towards me.
I was startled but quickly took two steps and reached out to support her. However, she suddenly turned to me and shouted, "What are you doing pushing me?"
I was stunned on the spot, holding onto her arm, not knowing whether to let go or what to do.
After Qingxue stopped, she finally saw that it was me. She scratched her head and smiled awkwardly at me.
She hesitated and said to me, "I... I thought it was Yunyi who came over. So... Lishan, you... must keep it a secret for me!"
I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Where on earth did this girl learn these things? Now she's even resorting to fraudulent tactics?
"Hey! What's with that expression, Li Qian? Come on, smile! I had no other choice. Yun Yi is as slippery as an eel. Extraordinary people require extraordinary methods, don't you agree?"
Facing the earnest gaze of Qingxue, I could only nod to apologize to Yunyi firmly.
"Liqian, at this time, you called me to have a meal, right? That guy Yunyi might have already arrived, let's go over quickly. I'm so hungry!"
After finishing speaking, she patted her slightly wrinkled clothes, grabbed my arm, and hurriedly ran towards the dining hall.
With her agile figure and brisk pace, can you imagine her slipping and falling the next second?
I had a delightful dinner with Motang, Qingxue, and Yunyi. Afterward, they each returned to their own courtyard. I followed Motang into his study...
"Have you noticed anything during our visit to the palace today?"
Mo Tang lazily leaned on a small stool, flicking the tea leaves floating in the cup with the tea lid. His tone seemed to casually say, "What a nice weather today."
I stood by the table, imitating his past appearance, picking up a grape and tossing it into my mouth.
然后才悠然的开口道:“我怀疑有人做了手脚,试图对‘她’不利。她的脉象是曾经中毒,但是那人又不易察觉的定期为其解了毒。
The poison is not lethal, but after several instances, it is inevitable that her body will weaken, making it difficult for her to conceive. It has been a few days since the poison was removed, and there is very little residue left in her body. I can't determine the exact nature of the poison at the moment."
"So, where do you have doubts?"
"Ink Tang frowned, not too surprised, and asked with his lips."
"So, before I left, I asked for the booklet of her daily diet and found that someone often paired incompatible food."
But I looked carefully, and these things don't even qualify as poison. They seem more like childish pranks that give you a stomachache, make your nose run, or make you sneeze, but they can't be considered as a serious illness."
I shook my head and picked another grape to moisten my throat. Then I looked at Motang and continued, "And I suspect that 'she' doesn't even know that there is a problem with the diet. Even if I refuse to take the diet pamphlet, she will find a way to make me see it. After all, when the doctor discovers a problem, the first thing they think about is eating and using."
She didn't do anything before, just these trivial things, which didn't have any impact on that person. So the safest way is not to make a fuss with that person for the time being, or try to get someone or me to make a fuss instead."
I finished speaking, and I raised an eyebrow, waiting for Motang's reaction.
He gently placed the teacup down and smirked at me, "So, did you tell her everything?"
I straightened my chest and cleared my throat, saying somewhat proudly, "Of course not. Otherwise, could I sit here, leisurely eating these sweet grapes so contentedly?"
I continued to eat a few more grapes, no wonder Moting loves eating them so much.
After spitting out the grape skin, I said, "I don't want to be someone else's stepping stone! Whether I succeed or not, as a cunning woman like me, I can't afford to provoke the master of a palace."
Speaking, I pretended to be delicate and weak, and blinked at Moshang. Sure enough, Moshang choked when she saw me acting like this.
I had no choice but to give up being delicate and crossed my legs, angrily saying, "Moreover, there is obviously no benefit for me. This losing business, whoever wants to do it can do it, this lady will not do it."
"Why are you so angry and quarreling with a little palace maid?"
Motang took a sip of tea and teased me.
"Is the tribute so impressive? Not only didn't give me a share, but also showed off in front of me! If showing off didn't work, he also arrogantly hit me on the head."
Grandma is such a troublemaker. I woke up an hour earlier to go to the palace and even styled my hair specifically for it, only to have her ruin it. Our feud is irreconcilable!
I crossed my arms and grumbled with indignation, but when I turned around, Motang was wickedly grinning.
I suddenly got angry, "You...you're not allowed to laugh!"
"Du Liqian, can you have some self-respect? Saying you're vain, as if it's an insult to the word 'vain'!"
Mor Tang's corners of the mouth twitch, corners of the eyes twitch too, in short, they are ridiculing me. Well, this is not the first time, and of course it will not be the last time.
