Chapter 40

Ji Ling spoke slowly, with clear words and a smile at the corner of her mouth. Although she spoke calmly, it was terrified in the ears of others.

Jing Bai was shocked, knelt down quickly, and kowtowed. "Thank you empress for not killing me."

Hua Rumo also got up at the same time, held the teapot in her hand, poured the remaining water into the bucket on the ground, took the tea leaves handed by the maid next to her, and carefully put them into the teapot.

With the palm of the slender hand facing upwards, she turned it three times, and when the steam was no longer above the teapot, she poured water into the cup, respectfully, and handed both hands to Jin Ling. "Rumo is incapable of teaching, and I hope my mother will forgive me."

Ji Ling nodded in satisfaction, took the teacup, took a sip, and a natural smile hung on her brows.

"Rumo is really ingenious, and the queen mother is very happy that Han'er can marry a good wife like you." Ji Ling smiled softly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, this smile made Hua Rumo even more panicked.

"The queen mother won the prize."

"Eh? I wonder if Rumo can do my mother a favor?" Ji Ling saw Hua Rumo's obedience, changed her original majesty and dignity, took her hand and held it in her hand, and tapped hers with her fingers. palm.

"Rumo will go all out." Hua Rumo replied hastily without even daring to frown.

The smile in Ji Ling's eyes was even bigger, she leaned forward to Hua Rumo's ear and said this and that, Hua Rumo's heart became colder and colder, even in this sunny March Even in the season of warm spring and flowers blooming, she couldn't feel any warmth.

After leaving the garden gate, Jingbai's face that pretended to be calm instantly collapsed. "Princess, none of the people in the northern kingdom is a good thing. They are more ruthless than the other. Just now, I scared the slaves to death."

She patted her chest and whispered.

"Are you still afraid?" Hua Rumo gave her a white look, with a slight smile on her lips, and jokingly said.

"Why is there no time for the servant to be afraid? The queen's stare almost frightened the servant." Jing Bai glanced around with mischievous eyebrows, still undecided. "Wang Concubine, your hand just now... such a skill is so powerful, it even bluffed the Queen."

Hua Rumo's indifferent eyes glanced at her lightly, and said mysteriously. "Actually, I don't know how to make tea, and my concubine never taught me."

"Ah?" Jingbai's delicate face was full of disbelief, and she looked at Hua Rumo in amazement.

It took a long time to realize the meaning of her words, and she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. "You...you...you are committing a crime of deceiving the emperor. If the queen finds out about this, your head must be cut off."

"Hush, keep your voice down, do you want everyone to know that I'm fooling the queen?" Hua Rumo covered her chattering mouth, her clear eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Two slender figures, from near to far, disappeared into a sea of ​​flowers.

In the dark, a tall and straight figure stepped out, his eyes fell faintly in the sea of ​​flowers, his evil eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his beautiful mouth curled up, and a meaningful smile hung on his face.

The night was hazy, the sky was full of stars, and the entire palace was shrouded in a silvery moonlight.The shadows of the trees outside the window are mottled, and there is a faint fragrance in the air, which makes the heart of the lover.

In Fengqi Palace, in a spacious room, there was a sound of water being sprinkled.

Water vapor lingers in the house, and the crystal bead curtains reflect the beating candlelight, flashing colorful colors.The moonlight is like silver, through the window, illuminating the beauty of the room.

Behind the huge screen with pictures of flowers and birds, there is a wooden barrel carved with mahogany.

At this time, Jingbai was pouring water into it, stroking the surface of the water with her beautiful slender hands.

Well, the water temperature is just right.

"Princess, the water is ready." She called softly.

"En." Hua Rumo responded softly, and when she came behind the screen, she saw beads of sweat floating on Jingbai's cheeks, and her heart slid like warm wind.

Fortunately, no matter what happened, Jingbai was with her.

"Go down and rest first, I'll do it myself." Hua Rumo tested the temperature of the water, smiled sweetly, and looked back at Jingbai.

Jingbai wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled. "It's better for the servants to serve you."

The corners of Hua Rumo's pretty mouth curled up, and she pushed her out with both hands, saying that she disliked her. "Go! Go! You stink too much, I don't want you to serve me!"
