Xiao Tianyao is not a person with high emotional intelligence. After being bluntly rejected by Lin Chujiu, he didn't say anything and just ate in silence.
After the meal, the two separated tacitly, one went back to the front yard and the other went back to the backyard, and there was no communication in the middle.
Both of them are rational people, they know that doing this is good for both of them, but they make the servants beside them anxious. Pearl and Agate tried to persuade Lin Chujiu countless times, but Lin Chujiu was extremely disgusted by them saying The prince's good words had to be silently swallowed.
On the second day, Pearl and Agate were still pondering what to do to make the relationship between their princess and the prince better, when Lin Chujiu said: "Let the kitchen prepare lunch in advance, and today I will deliver lunch to the prince. ."
"Wang, wangfei? You want to bring lunch to the lord?" Pearl shook her hand and almost tore off Lin Chujiu's hair.
Did she hear it wrong, or did the princess say it wrong
The princess is actually going to deliver lunch to the prince. Has the sun come out in the west
"What, is there a problem?" Lin Chujiu turned his head and glanced at Pearl.
Zhu Zhu hurriedly shook his head and said with a look of joy: "No, no, the slave will let Jade and Coral prepare, and will not miss the princess's affairs." Their princess finally got enlightened, it was really not easy.
"Yeah." Lin Chujiu nodded indifferently, but she was very uncomfortable. It happened that this matter was discussed yesterday, and she couldn't change it.
Pearl set Lin Chujiu's hair in three or two strokes, and hurried to find Jade and Coral, asking them to keep an eye on the kitchen and prepare meals quickly.
After explaining the jade and coral, Pearl hurried back, "Princess, which set of clothes are you going to wear today? Which set of jewelry are you going to bring, the servant will go and find it out for you."
"No, that's all it takes." She went to see the emperor's doctor, and the simpler the clothes, the better.
"Will this... be a little too common?" This was the first time the princess went to deliver meals to the prince, so how could she dress casually.
Lin Chujiu said angrily, "What kind of me has your lord never seen before? He has to care about it." Her most embarrassing and miserable appearance was all thanks to Xiao Tianyao, who had seen her the most humble, The most helpless appearance, she didn't need to pretend in front of Xiao Tianyao.
Jade completely misunderstood Lin Chujiu's words, and said happily: "What the princess said is that what you wear will look good in the eyes of the prince."
"Heh..." Lin Chujiu laughed noncommittally and didn't answer.
The kitchen learned that Lin Chujiu was going to deliver lunch to Prince Xiao, and immediately put out all the fresh ingredients, and cooked a few dishes that Prince Xiao liked as quickly as possible.
"There are eight dishes in total, Miss Jade, Miss Coral, have you seen enough?" In less than an hour, the kitchen prepared the meal. Eight dishes and one soup were much richer than usual. It shows how much the servants of the palace attached great importance to this. thing.
"Enough is enough, let's pack it all up." Jade and Coral stared at each other to make sure that each dish was full of flavor and fragrance. Only then did people put them in the food basket, carry the food basket and go back to their lives, but just two steps away, they encountered a hurried runner. The deputy manager here.
"Two girls, the princess has already gone to the front yard, let you carry the food basket over there." The deputy steward was sweating profusely and was out of breath.
"Thank you for reminding Mr. Wan, you can just talk to someone about this matter, you don't need to go there in person." Jade and Shao said politely.
The deputy steward shook his head quickly: "How can the princess' affairs be handed over to others, or I will go to peace of mind." It was the first time that the princess delivered lunch to the prince. If he went out of business, he couldn't afford it.
"It's what the steward said." Jade and Shao laughed: "The princess is waiting, we'll be over now."
Jade and Shanshan were afraid that Lin Chujiu would wait for a long time and walked very fast. If the food in the food basket hadn't spilled out, they would have trotted all the way.
They hurried to the carriage and saw that Lin Chujiu hadn't come over yet, and the two were secretly relieved.
Fortunately, the princess was not allowed to wait for them.
Lin Chujiu was only a few steps slower than the two of them. As soon as the two of them relaxed, Lin Chujiu came over with pearls and agate.
Seeing the guards lined up in two rows, the maid with the food basket, and the gorgeous carriage in the center, Lin Chujiu couldn't help but look up at the sky. She just went to give Xiao Tianyao a meal, why did she make such a big commotion
Without waiting for Lin Chujiu to sigh, the deputy steward stepped forward diligently: "Princess, the carriage and the guards are ready, and the food is hot. When do you think you will leave?"
"Let's go now." Although Lin Chujiu felt that it was too exciting to do so, she was not hypocritical. She knew very well how many people wanted her life, so even if she didn't like it, she did not refuse to let the guards escort her.
She is safe only if there are more guards around. As for the maids? It is enough to bring four people with pearls.
With the support of pearls and agate, Lin Chujiu got into the carriage and led a group of people to the palace. As soon as they went out, the spies who were guarding outside got the news and passed the news to the owner of the house as soon as possible.
Before Lin Chujiu arrived at the palace gate, the queen and Concubine Zhou who were in the deep palace knew about her movements, but they didn't know why she came.
"What is Concubine Xiao doing in the palace at this time? Did she hand the empress a sign?" Concubine Zhou Gui's first reaction was that Lin Chujiu wanted to see the empress, or ask the empress to settle accounts.
After learning that it was not, Concubine Zhou was stunned. She never dreamed that Lin Chujiu came to the palace to heal the emperor.
The queen also did not know Lin Chujiu's motives, but when she received the news that Lin Chujiu entered the palace, the queen felt a deep sense of crisis.
"Lin Chujiu will not enter the palace for no reason. She must have a purpose in entering the palace. She sent someone to inquire about it. In addition, people will keep an eye on the emperor. I don't want any accident." Even if Xiao Wangye returned to Beijing to regent, The palace is still under the control of the queen, which shows the queen's ability.
"My servant understands." The little eunuch who came in to spread the news lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly to his eyes. When he was sure that the queen had no other orders, he bowed and stepped back.
Outside the palace, Lin Chujiu's movements were under the control of the queen; inside the palace, Xiao Tianyao was not ignorant of the queen's movements, and he received the news as soon as the queen moved.
"It's really not easy to be able to endure for decades." Just knowing that Lin Chujiu entered the palace, she has a sense of crisis. It is not a fluke that the queen can live to this day and secretly establish her own power.
Fortunately, the queen was exposed in advance, otherwise even he would find it difficult to face such a potential dark enemy.
"After the princess entered the palace, let the abolished prince come out and clean up the people around the seventh prince." The queen is very shrewd and good at calculating, but unfortunately she has weaknesses.
And once a person has a weakness, many things will change. It's like, after he has the weakness of Lin Chujiu, many things have to be rearranged...
