Chapter 13
Chu Lingyao's eyes were clear, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up calmly and walked towards the bed, reaching into his sleeve to hold the porcelain bottle filled with medicine.

Xie Huaiyu asked people to remove the dishes, stood up and walked towards the door. He said to Chu Lingyao, who was sitting by the bed with a calm expression, "Have a good rest."

what?
Chu Ling hesitated for a moment. Does this mean he won't sleep with her?
The door closed, and Chu Lingyao was the only one left in the room.

Her hand withdrew from her sleeve without taking anything.

In ancient times, women did not become popular because they were not favored, let alone marrying someone as powerful as a prince.

If you stay alone in an empty room on your wedding night without seeing your husband, your future life will be described as disrespectful and disrespectful.

But although Xie Huaiyu didn't sleep with Chu Lingyao, he still came to see her. The long time he spent with her not only gave her enough dignity, but also gave Chu Lingyao a sense of proportion that made her uneasy in a foreign country.

Chu Lingyao took off the headdress from her bun unhurriedly, blew out the red candle, undressed and lay down.

In the dark night, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly. The prince was quite a good person.

It was a quiet night, just when he was falling into sleep, but there was still a bright light in the East Palace.

Crown Princess Shen Jingli lay on her side on the beauty's couch, her skirt hanging down along the edge, reflecting her curves. She held her forehead with one hand, and her eyebrows were filled with restlessness.

At that time, a palace maid walked in and bowed respectfully.

Shen Jingli opened her eyes, and the candlelight reflected in her eyes, swaying, "How is it, can the prince go to Princess Xiliang today?"

The palace maid told the truth, "I went, but the prince did not stay overnight, and he even asked the chef to prepare meals during the period."

Shen Jingli put her fingers between her legs together and faintly exerted force, "How long have you been here, Prince?"

The palace maid thought for a while and said, "About an hour."

Although Shen Jingli felt relieved, she was still filled with jealousy.

Xie Huaiyu's women in the East Palace cannot be said to be many, but they cannot be said to be few.

Xie Huaiyu never brought anyone back personally. They were all given to him by the Queen and the Queen Mother. Even the Crown Princess Shen Jingli was asked by the Queen to marry him.

Shen Jingli knew very well that Xie Huaiyu had no eyes for any woman in the East Palace, and even he had only been in those gentle eyes a few times.

It was a night of flowers and candles at Shen Jingli and Xie Huaiyu's bridal chamber. He just took a look and left without staying overnight.

Shen Jingli hummed: "It seems that tomorrow the Imperial Palace will have to take a good look at this Xiliang Princess to see if she has the ability to let the prince eat with her."

The palace maid said flatteringly: "She is definitely not as good as the Crown Princess. The Crown Prince went to see her tonight just because of the war between the two countries. We can't ignore her from the beginning. The only one who can catch the eye of the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince." Concubine, you are alone."

Shen Jingli was so obedient that he raised his frowning eyebrows, a burst of spring breeze appeared, and he said with a smile: "Whether it is a fox pretending to be weak or a sick and disabled cat, we will know when we see him tomorrow."

The next day, Qiu Shuang came to help Chu Lingyao wash and make up.

Qiu Shuang was not allowed to stay in the East Palace, but Chu Lingyao's life background in Xiliang was clearly arranged.

The eldest princess who has been held in the palm of her hand and favored since she was a child, Qiu Shuang is the palace maid who has been with her since childhood. Since the King of Xiliang had the heart to part ways with his eldest daughter and send her to marry far away in Northern Liaoning, he must not break up their master-servant relationship.

Chu Lingyao looked at Qiu Shuang who was pulling up her hair through the bronze mirror, "My relatives and I are far away from home in Bei Liao. Now not only Xiliang wants to keep an eye on me, but Bei Liao also wants to pay attention to me. Under the double gaze , I can’t do anything at all, so why do you have to leave your hometown?”

When Qiu Shuang heard these words and she was still with Chu Lingyao, she knew that her purpose had been defeated by her.

Now that there was no one from Beiliao, she simply stopped pretending.

Qiu Shuang smiled faintly, but her eyes were as cold as snow, "Concubine, you must do your best, and I am here to supervise whether your scene is up to standard. You have underestimated yourself. If Bei Liao finds out about you, As a descendant of a guilty minister, Xiliang will inevitably experience another turmoil."

Chu Lingyao looked directly at Qiu Shuang's gaze, "I'm not stupid. What good will it do to me to reveal this? Xiliang will not let me go, so do you think Beiliao will let me go again?" " Qiu Shuang bent down and was level with Chu Ling. Both of them peeked into each other's thoughts through the bronze mirror, "No matter how good-looking the person is, they are devils when they are impulsive."

Qiu Shuang's fingertips circled around Chu Lingyao's hair and continued to comb her hair, "Now, you're going to marry in Beiliao. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone from Xiliang accompany you?"

Chu Lingyao's eyes were cold and the corners of his lips were straightened, "But I don't have any friendship with you or the entire Xiliang."

"It will happen in the future. After all, you and I are just grasshoppers on the same rope now." Qiu Shuang inserted the hairpin into Chu Lingyao's hair, "Okay, concubine."

Chu Lingyao stood up and went to greet the princess. On the first day after the wedding, she had to offer tea to her.

When I went to Qingyaxuan where the Crown Princess lived, I met two or three of the Crown Prince's concubines. They all looked at Chu Lingyao with disgust and jealousy, and even looked back at Chu Lingyao in displeasure.

Qiu Shuang whispered happily in Chu Lingyao's ear: "Concubine, they all seem to hate you."

Chu Lingyao did not look at her, but said calmly: "She is not as good as me in appearance, and she is ugly. It is normal to be jealous of me."

"."

Qiu Shuang's smile faded, and she thought to herself, how shameless.

Arriving at Qingyaxuan, Chu Lingyao greeted Shen Jingli.

After the ceremony, Shen Jingli did not wake her up, but said slowly: "I have almost finished the tea, why did the concubine come?"

Chu Lingyao's forehead twitched. Weren't there two concubines who just followed her in?How to target her?

Chu Lingyao replied: "I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me. I am here for the first time and I am not familiar with the route, so I arrived a little late."

Shen Jingli smiled slightly, enjoying the way Chu Lingyao lowered her head, "Then what is your mouth used for? Don't you know how to ask for directions, or is it just for eating?"

As soon as she finished speaking, before Chu Lingyao could respond, she said magnanimously: "That's all. Seeing that you traveled thousands of miles to marry far away, with no relatives and only one maid to accompany you, I will not follow you. You’ve got to worry about it, let’s serve tea.”

The maid next to Shen Jingli walked towards Chu Lingyao with a tea tray, bent down and handed the tea cup in the tray to Chu Lingyao's eyes.

As soon as Chu Lingyao's fingertips touched the wall of the tea cup, they were stung by the temperature of the hot water penetrating the porcelain wall.

I'm afraid Chu Lingyao wouldn't dare to drink this tea, and even Shen Jingli wouldn't dare to drink it, unless she's not afraid of boiling water.

When Shen Jingli saw that Chu Lingyao was still not serving tea, she raised her eyebrows contemptuously: "What? Doesn't the concubine not want to serve tea to me?"

"Don't dare."

After saying that, the next moment, Chu Lingyao's face was expressionless, he picked up the tea cup with both hands and handed it to Shen Jingli, "Princess, please have tea."

There was no tremor in the movements of Chu Lingyao's hands. If it weren't for the fact that the lid of the cup couldn't cover the overflowing heat, Shen Jingli would have thought it was a cup of warm tea.

She wanted to see how long Chu Lingyao could persist.

Before Shen Jingli opened his mouth, Chu Lingyao continued to serve tea, while the rest of the concubines watched as if they were watching a show.

People who are not favored will become jealous beyond recognition when they see someone else getting a little favor. Who here doesn't want to see Chu Lingyuan in trouble?

But Chu Lingyao insisted on holding the tea until it cooled down without putting down the cup.

Shen Jingli lowered his eyes, "The tea has gone cold, let's change it to a cup of respect."

The palace maid took the warm tea from Chu Lingyao's hand and replaced it with a new cup of hot tea.

The corners of Chu Lingyao's lips were slightly raised, and her eyes were indifferent. Do you think she is easy to bully?
She picked up a new cup of hot tea and dropped it to the ground within three seconds of touching it. She suddenly stood up and rushed towards Shen Jingli!
