The two sisters, the crown prince and the side concubine, had already ordered people to tidy up and arrange the Osmanthus Pavilion in the garden. When Lu Xiaoshu arrived with the cuckoo and the red calyx, the two sisters were sitting on the couch in the pavilion talking and laughing. Looking at the six temporary landscape painting screens, several court ladies and eunuchs stood by, and there were young eunuchs squatting on the ground with small cattail fans on the side of the pavilion to heat water in a small red clay stove to prepare tea.
An almost thick old osmanthus with dense branches and leaves, full of dots and trees of flowers, two thick branches stretched obliquely towards the pavilion, covering one corner, and the elegant and fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance is stronger.
In a few days, it will be another Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Courtesy, see the Crown Princess! See the Queen's side concubine!" Lu Xiaoshu and Du Juan stepped forward to salute. Du Juan and the two had already knelt down.
After a while, the Crown Princess lazily raised her hand and said, "Get up!", but the Concubine Wang didn't speak at all, she just sneered slightly.
Lu Xiaoshu stood up straight and waited there with his hands down. As for Wang Fangfei's snort, she couldn't even move an eyebrow.
This woman has even done things that killed her, so what's the point of humming? It's not even a level to compare.
"Come here!" The princess said with a faint smile, "Come here so we can talk!"
"That's right, our sisters invited you to come and enjoy the flowers, not to make you a wooden stick there!" Wang Fangfei said in a nonchalant manner.
Whenever she thinks of Zhou Shizhi's embarrassment to her, Concubine Wang's teeth itch with hatred, and she can't wait to ask someone to drag Lu Xiaoshu down and kill her immediately.
Lu Xiaoshu smiled lightly and agreed to go forward, but there were no couch chairs in the pavilion except for the seats of the crown prince and side concubine Wang.
Lu Xiaoshu asked with a smile: "Is it true that the crown prince concubine invited the minister's daughter to come to enjoy the flowers?"
"Of course, the sweet-scented osmanthus blossoms just in time, our sisters suddenly remembered that Miss Lu Er is a wonderful person, so it is inconvenient to invite you here!" The princess smiled more and more cordially, thinking that you will suffer later! If I can't catch your mistakes again today and punish you properly, I will really lose face!
Although she no longer associates with Lu Yiqing, and will not do anything for Lu Yiqing anymore, but when she thinks about how she was beaten by Lu Xiaoshu in order to help her, she can't help but get angry!
Especially that time by the Taiye Pool, she ordered the little eunuch to take her, but she dared to run away! Simply unprecedented!
If you are capable, you can invite Brother Sanhuang to help you today, and I will accept you! The Crown Princess said angrily in her heart.
The princess was still hating, but when Lu Xiaoshu opened his mouth, he almost made her speechless with anger.
I saw Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said: "Since the empress dowager is inviting her servants to be guests, why doesn't she even have a place to sit? Doesn't the empress of the empress want her to be underground? If it gets out, the empress dowager It seems that the way of hospitality is not very good! It will affect the reputation of the crown prince and concubine!"
The Crown Princess became angry immediately, her phoenix eyes widened and she stared at Lu Xiaoshu, and the side concubine Wang was also very angry: On the site of the Eastern Palace, she dared to speak like that, did she really think that her sisters could not cure her!
Lu Xiaoshu saw that the Crown Princess remained silent for a while, so he laughed and said: "It seems that the Crown Princess really let the servants sit on the ground, and the servants just obey the order!"
Sitting on the ground, she really doesn't care, even if she doesn't know if the princess will be or not, it doesn't matter.
"Come here!" The Crown Princess finally spoke, swallowed the breath abruptly, and said lightly: "Bring her Xiu Dunzi!"
If Lu Xiaoshu really sat on the ground today, tomorrow the Empress must call her into the palace to reprimand her!
The dignified concubine actually let the guests sit on the ground during the treat. This is not only losing her face, but also the face of the East Palace, the face of the prince, and the face of the royal family! The prince already has a lot of dissatisfaction with her, and she can't let it continue.
"My lady, thank you for the seat!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled and bowed his knees to thank him, Shi Shiran sat down as if nothing had happened.
"Hmph!" The Concubine Wang sneered slightly, and said to the Crown Princess with a smile: "Prince Princess, should I serve tea to Second Miss Lu? If you don't have a cup of tea, isn't it the way to treat guests!"
Ever since the concubine Wang entered the palace, she never called the crown princess "sister" again, because she didn't like others being called "sister", and everyone in the East Palace could only call her "princess"!
"That's right, hurry up and serve tea!" The crown princess smiled, stared at Lu Xiaoshu and said angrily, "Second Miss Lu, you should have a good taste!"
"My daughter, thank you, the concubine, the concubine, and the concubine!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed.
The two of them had sullen faces and ignored her.
After a while, a court lady brought up a small begonia-style mother-of-pearl inlaid lacquered tray, on which was a bean green tea bowl with a lid, and slightly bent her knees in front of Lu Xiaoshu.
Lu Xiaoshu stretched out her hand to grab the tea bowl, and as soon as her hand touched it, she felt a burning sensation, and she immediately retracted her hand subconsciously.
There was nothing wrong with the teacup, but the temperature was too hot to hold!
Needless to say, the princess and the two sisters must have played tricks on her to punish her.
The crown prince and side concubine Wang are staring at her intently, trying to force her to take the tea bowl.
"What? Could it be that Miss Lu Er thinks the tea here is not good and refuses to give me face? You dare not give me face, what a big air!" The princess sneered.
Concubine Wang immediately went on to say: "It is disrespectful to put on airs in front of the empress and concubine. If you drag it down and hit thirty boards, no one will say anything!"
The tea bowl was kept boiling in boiling hot water, just now it was pulled out of the hot water with tongs, brewed tea and brought over, in order to treat Lu Xiaoshu.
No one can handle that kind of temperature, as long as she breaks the tea bowl with an unsteady hand, it is a ready-made excuse for an attack, and no one can say no if she drags it down and hits the board. Both of them were determined to beat her to death this time!
Lu Xiaoshu also thought of this, and sneered secretly in his heart when he listened to Concubine Wang's words: Well, it's her fault anyway, it doesn't matter whether they take it or not, today they are determined to beat themselves up!
"What? You really don't give me face! Or do you disdain the tea here?" The princess's face darkened, and her tone was extremely unpleasant!
"Your servant dare not!" Lu Xiaoshu quickly stood up and said, "This tea bowl is so hot that you can't hold it, even if you want to take it, you can't do it! Please forgive me, my daughter! Curious, did this elder sister put the tea bowl on the tray with her own hands? If so, why not ask this elder sister to help put the tea bowl aside, and I will drink it later!"
Seeing the obvious changes in the faces of the crown prince and the side concubine, Lu Xiaoshu secretly laughed in his heart: You don't want to put this on the table, but I just put it on the table. I want to see, what can you do? !
The crown princess was so angry that her chest and diaphragm felt pain again and again: This Lu Xiaoshu is really her destined magic star! She had never seen such a shameless person!
She didn't swallow her anger, but told the story, which was unexpected by the Crown Princess and the side concubine Wang.
Because when they thought about it, Lu Xiaoshu would never dare to speak out, so she could only suffer from being dumb. Who knew, she just said it!
This is because they think too highly of themselves. If the emperor insists on making things difficult for his ministers, the ministers will naturally have to suffer from being dumb. But they are just the concubine and side concubine of the prince. There are so many people who can restrain them. She, Lu Xiaoshu What is there to be afraid of
"Princess Concubine and Concubine Wang don't believe it, you can try it yourself!" Lu Xiaoshu looked at the concubine and Concubine Wang, and said very sincerely.
The princess was so angry that she was speechless, let her try? Thank goodness she can tell!
The princess's anger immediately burned blazingly!
She glared at the court lady fiercely, and said coldly: "What did you do! You are so courageous! You dare to be careful, you are trying to frame this palace and the side concubine for injustice! Tell me, who ordered you?" Do it!"
The concubine could only be angry with the maid, because this matter had already been exposed by Lu Xiaoshu, so she had to put it on the table—she had to make an explanation, a reasonable explanation, so that Lu Xiaoshu could not go outside Talk nonsense.
If this matter is found out by outsiders, her reputation as a princess will still be ruined!
The Crown Princess was extremely annoyed, but she had to do this, which added another layer of annoyance.
"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" The little maid's face turned pale, she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, put the tray aside, and kept kowtowing to the princess for mercy.
This can be said to be a sudden disaster. What does it matter to her? In the end, all the faults fell on her head.
"Forgive you?" The princess snorted coldly: "You are a lifeless thing, even my guests dare to tease me, I see that you are impatient!"
The Crown Princess scolded the court lady, while casting her eyes at Lu Xiaoshu.
Lu Xiaoshu sneered in his heart: Teasing? The princess can really talk! Just play tricks on two words and pass
If she is honest, this trick can kill most of her life!
The princess glanced at it, she knew what it meant, but she just wanted her to intercede for her court lady!
But, why did she ask for love
If she begged for mercy, wouldn't it be true that she was just "teasing"? It seemed like she was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Lu Xiaoshu remained silent, sitting there with his eyes slightly downcast, as if he didn't see or hear anything, and didn't care about everything in front of him at all.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoshu didn't speak as she wanted, the crown princess couldn't help being even more annoyed, and scolded her in her heart.
Seeing that the Crown Princess was so angry, the side concubine Wang felt a surge of joy for no reason: she deserved it!
She couldn't help but think: If it wasn't for the backing king, maybe she would become friends with Lu Xiaoshu, right? But she didn't know that Lu Xiaoshu couldn't be friends with her no matter whether he had the King of the Mountain or not!
