After time travel, the princess became his favorite

Chapter 21 Gentle knife, the knife hooks people's lives

Xie Huaiyu and Chu Lingyao returned to Wanyan Pavilion.

Qiu Shuang bowed her head and saluted, not daring to raise her eyes. After all, she felt guilty and did not look at the door and told Chu Lingyao what happened at Dianshan Bureau.

But in that case, you can only tell the truth.

The prince's expression looked as if Chu Ling was away stealing someone. As soon as Qiu Shuang explained, his expression softened a little.

Xie Huaiyu asked Chu Lingyao to wash the things on his face first.

Qiu Shuang diligently came forward to serve, fetching water and handing over the veil.

Qiu Shuang said in a low voice: "Don't blame me. If I don't tell the truth, the prince will think that you went to steal someone! This is worse than going to the Dining Bureau!"

Chu Lingyao said lightly, "I know."

Her tone was neither cold nor hot, and her emotions could not be heard. Qiu Shuang thought Chu Lingyao was blaming her.

In fact, Chu Lingyao didn't think Qiu Shuang was wrong, and what he said made sense. The entire East Palace belonged to Xie Huaiyu, and no one could stop him wherever he wanted to go.

She just pity the opportunity to make money.

The palace walls are as deep as the sea once you enter.

As soon as I climbed out of the sea, I was sucked into the whirlpool again.

That's all, working in the Dianshan Bureau is not a long-term solution. It's better to find other ways.

After Chu Lingyao cleansed her face, her skin was translucent and dewy, her fox-like eyes were slightly upward, and her lips were as red as cherries, cool and noble.

She raised the curtain and went out of the bedroom, and saw Xie Huaiyu sitting at the table, while the maids and eunuchs were serving dishes one by one.

"Your Highness, I have washed my body."

Why does this sound so weird?
There is an inexplicable sense of pun.

But if you say it out loud, you can't take back the water you spilled.

Xie Huaiyu turned his head and his gaze collided with Chu Lingyuan.

"Eat first."

He smiled lightly and was not in a hurry.

Chu Lingyao sat down obediently, lowered the curtain and looked at the table full of delicacies, her eyes lit up.

Shen Jingli only gave Chu Lingyao a weak meal. Even if he was found out, it could be said that the servants sent him by mistake. She was originally intending to give Chu Lingyao power, and there was no need for continuous bullying.

The meals after that were just like those of the concubine, and the food was not bad, but it was not as good as the prince's meal.

At a glance, there are dozens of dishes on this table.

Chu Lingyao ate with respect for the food without saying a word. She did not answer Xie Huaiyu's glances several times.

The eunuchs around Xie Huaiyu were a little anxious, frowning, and couldn't help but remind Chu Lingyao.

Ouch, concubine, don’t worry about eating it!Look at the prince!

I won’t even answer my flirtatious glances with you!

The eunuch who followed Xie Huaiyu had never seen a woman fall into his eyes since he followed him. It was not easy for him to find someone who attracted the prince's attention, but he was not enlightened!

The eunuch was anxious in vain, he couldn't open the mouth, but he saw a smile on Xie Huaiyu's lips, and his frown also widened.

After the meal, the maids removed the dishes and served hot tea.

Chu Lingyao poured tea for Xie Huaiyu.

He said: "I wonder why you went to the Dining Bureau, but I also wonder why you haven't had breakfast."

Chu Lingyao smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. My only hobby in my life is to indulge in cooking. It is inevitable for me to leave my hometown and marry in Beiliao. Your Highness has also told me that I want you to adapt quickly. I just want to start from my area of ​​expertise, get rid of my worries, and enjoy the prosperity of the capital."

She pulled Xie Huaiyu half-pushed, and revealed intentionally or unintentionally that she had been out of the East Palace.

Xie Huaiyu will definitely investigate carefully in the future. The most taboo thing for a princess from a foreign country is to leave the palace and leave the surveillance sight.But she dared to admit that she was not afraid, and she also said that she had not done anything illegal. Even if she was investigated, she would not be guilty enough to be killed.

Xie Huaiyu obviously heard that Chu Lingyao had left the palace. He frowned, but his voice was gentle, "If you like it, why don't you choose to discuss it with me?"

Chu Lingyao replied: "I heard that His Highness doesn't like to be disturbed. I have only met His Highness a few times and I don't dare to speak highly of myself. If I annoy His Highness, it's my fault. No matter how I am, I can't integrate my identity into the classics." Dining Bureau, after much thought, I decided to use this method. I am determined to go my own way, so please punish me."

After saying that, she was about to kneel down, but Xie Huaiyu held her arms, "I haven't made a decision on whether to punish or not, we will discuss it later."

His meaning was very clear. When he found out, it was as simple as Chu Lingyao said. If he had ulterior motives, he would still be punished.

Xie Huaiyu's expression became solemn, with an unknown hint of displeasure, "All women cherish their appearance, but you are really willing to dress yourself up like that."

Chu Lingyao said: "There are thousands of skins, some are ugly and some are beautiful. I love my own appearance, but no matter how ugly or beautiful I am, even if I really look like that."

Xie Huaiyu's eyes darkened, and he wandered for a moment without knowing what he was thinking.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Lingyao's face was reflected in his eyes.

She was fair and cold, but the smile on her lips added warmth.

Xie Huaiyu's voice was low and hoarse: "Stop putting those things on your face. What I like is the way you look now. If you like, go to the Dianshan Bureau. I won't stop you."

Chu Ling raised her eyebrows and said, "That's not what His Highness said at the Dianshan Bureau."

Xie Huaiyu bent his eyes, seeming to hide his emotions on purpose, "How did you know that Gu wasn't looking through that layer of yellow gouache?"

Xie Huaiyu still had enough tea and left Wanyan Pavilion.

The accompanying eunuch turned blue and trembled as he spoke: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Concubine Chu's words sound reasonable, but they are actually..."

The eunuch's words were stuck in his throat, and in the end he did not dare to speak too harshly, so he spoke tactfully, "What Concubine Chu did is against women's ethics! If His Highness is tolerant, it will damage His reputation if word spreads, and the rest of the concubines will feel unbalanced. , there will be trouble!"

If there is an impeachment at the court meeting, the East Palace will become uneasy.

Xie Huaiyu said coldly: "You said you won't punish her?"

After the eunuch listened, he breathed a sigh of relief. His Highness still knew clearly. He lowered his head and said, "This servant is too worried."

Xie Huaiyu paused and suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit. Then he ordered the eunuch to send Chu Lingyao some clothes and jewelry, and told him to keep his mouth shut. They were sent from the weaving room.

The eunuch followed the order blankly, but he was confused in his heart.

Your Highness, did you really listen to what I said?

Chu Ling sent Xie Huaiyu away and lay on the wooden chair, very irritable.

She had originally planned to quietly return to Chu's side concubine after three months. Xiao Mazi had not done anything bad and would not cause any trouble.

Who would expect Xie Huaiyu to conduct a surprise inspection?
It was strange that Chu Lingyao was careless. He couldn't arouse interest in the many women in Xie Huaiyu's harem. He thought that Xie Huaiyu was just being polite the first few times he came, but he didn't expect that Xie Huaiyu was really greedy for his face.

She held her forehead and sighed. The words she had just made up seemed ridiculous now that she thought about it.

Can Xie Huaiyu really believe it?But she did not do anything evil, she just went to make money outside the palace.

Making money outside the palace is difficult, difficult.

and many more.

A sudden inspiration came to her.
"I think the prince is really interested in you. He won't let you kneel down and will have breakfast with you first."

Qiu Shuang's appearance interrupted Chu Lingyao's thoughts.

Chu Lingyao raised his eyes to look at her, seeing how young she was, and said with a smile: "There are so many women in the prince's harem, even if there is no luck or favor, they still love him to death, and the prince can't see the slightest kindness to others. Do you know why?" "

Qiu Shuang pursed her lips, "Why else? They married the prince and can only love him."

Chu Ling shook his head and said: "Gentle knife, the knife can kill people. You said that the prince is interested in me, then why did he bring me back to Wanyan Pavilion in front of everyone's eyes?"

Let her become the target of public criticism.

Those concubines could always remain enthusiastic about Xie Huaiyu because his gentle eyes were uninhabited, giving them room to imagine and feel that one day they would become the person in his eyes.
