"Miss, the prince has ordered the medicine to be delivered again."

Lian Ye took the medicine and handed it to Qing Li. For several days, although the toxins in the body had not been eliminated, but fortunately, life was not a serious problem, and the symptoms of vomiting blood gradually subsided. Qing Li raised her head and drank it. Lian Ye took it. After the empty bowl, I was about to retreat, only to see Mo Mirage come in.

Behind him was a person dressed as a maid. As soon as Qing Li saw him, he felt frustrated. Mo Mirage just sat down and said, "This person was picked from the palace by this king and is responsible. Waiting for you."

Qing Li said coldly, "I don't need it."

Mo Xiang said in a hateful voice: "I can't help you."

He asked her to come forward again, looking older than Qingli, with a better face, but also a shrewd and capable posture. After all, she came out of the palace.

She was blessed and said: "The servant girl Songlan, I have seen a girl." Qing Li calmed down slightly and said to her: "Get up, you don't need so much etiquette."

Mo Mirage said to her again: "From now on, you must do your best to take good care of her, and pay special attention to those who have bad intentions."

Song Lan hurriedly answered yes.

Lian Ye also said: "It doesn't matter if multiple people are serving the young lady, otherwise the mansion is really hard to guard against."

Qingli slapped her hand and said, "Aye, take her down first."

Lian Ye agreed and withdrew with Song Lan.

Qingli got up and went to pick up the wooden comb on the dressing table, straightened his hair, and ignored him. Regardless of Mo Mirage, he grabbed a piece of lotus seed cake and ate it, and said, "Tomorrow you will go to the palace with the king, and father will have a banquet."

Qing Li looked up at him and said, "It's your business to go there, so naturally you will be accompanied by your wife."

Mo Mirage waved off the comb in her hand, fell on the ground and fell in half. He squeezed Qingli's wrist forcefully, and said angrily: "This king warns you, if you disobey this king again, you will wait. Now, let’s see if it's your bad temper or the king's tricks."

Qing Li put his head aside, not looking at him, Mo Wei stood up and said, "Tomorrow someone will come to freshen up your clothes, this king has something to do, go first, and wait for this king to come back in the evening."

Qingli didn't answer, so Mo Mirage left. After a while, Song Lan brought a tray in and put it on the table and said, "Girl, this is the powder that the prince ordered to prepare for the girl."

Qingli glanced indifferently, his appearance was expensive, but who would show his face after it was transformed. Just waved his hand and said, "Leave it aside, I don't want to use it."

After Song Lan put it away, she looked at Qingli and said, "The servant girl is a kind-hearted person to the girl, and the prince is also very affectionate to the girl."

Qing Li snorted coldly and said, "Do you mean him? Humph, it's good not to torture me."

Songlan looked at the vague hatred in her eyes, and only said: "Does the girl hate the prince?"

Qing Li was surprised at her intelligence, and worried that she was sent by Mo Mirage to monitor her, and only said softly: "Naturally, she hates her, and her heart is almost numb with hatred."

There was obviously a sense of temptation in this remark. Song Lan smiled and said: "Girls don't need to worry. The slaves have been in the palace for many years, and they have never met the prince. Now when they arrive in the mansion, the girls are the masters of the slaves."

Seeing her sincere, Qingli didn't seem to be deceiving, but he couldn't let go of his heart. He just said, "I don't know, the people in this mansion are unpredictable, and I can't deal with them."

Song Lan took a silk red and gold cloak from the hanger on the side and put it on Qingli, and said, "The girl only needs to worry about her body, and she has her own servants to take care of herself."

Qingli didn't mean to see her, even if it was sent by Mo Xian, she couldn't help it. The two were talking, but saw the lotus leaf running in, panting and saying: "The princess is here, saying that he is looking for the prince."

Qingli felt a little inexplicable, and just wanted to stop it, but saw Songlan respectfully said: "It's better for the girl to let the princess in. She came to see the girl. Those words are just a cover."

Qingli's head was a little bit painful, and said, "Just go in."

Before she came in, Songlan told Qingli about the origin of the princess. She was born as Xiangning. She grew up with Mo Mirage. She married into the palace at the age of fourteen. Mo Mirage has always treated her well. It is also very respected in the palace, and now I am afraid that it is because Qingli has lived in Mo Mirage's room, he wants to come and have a look.

Qingli thought about it for a moment, presumably the top ten of the poisoned people* were instigated by Xiangning, but Mo Mirage must love her very much, so he undertook her maid.

Just thinking about it, Xiang Ning came in, followed by five maids behind her. Although simple but gorgeous, she was a very beautiful woman. It's no wonder that Mo Mirage liked her.

She glanced at Qing Li and asked softly, "I wonder if my sister saw the prince today?"

Qingli looked at her, spoke extremely calmly, did not see any hostility, and only whispered back: "He left at noon, the princess still looks elsewhere."

Xiangning smiled more softly, "Then I will sit here for a while and talk to my sister. My sister won't mind."

Qingli had no choice but to let her sit down, Songlan took the tea from the side and brewed it for her, put the tea cup respectfully in front of Xiangning, and said, "Please use the tea for the princess."

Xiangning glanced at her, picked up the tea cup and savoured it carefully, "This tea smells very mellow, and the maidservant's craftsmanship is also very good, but why hasn't my concubine ever seen you?"

Song Lanfu said with a blessing: "Back to the princess, the servant girl was brought by the prince from the palace to wait for the girl, and the princess must have never seen it."

Xiangning nodded and smiled to Qingli: "The tea you have here is the new tribute Xinyaqin this year. It is the top grade. I only have a small cup here, and there are so many younger sisters."

Qing Li asked, "I don't know if this tea is good or not. I saw Mo Mirage and he only drinks that."

This was extremely ironic to Xiangning's ears, but he didn't show up, "Why does my sister call the prince's name directly?" The expression was slightly surprised.

Qing Li frowned, "How I call him is my business, besides, he is not one of mine." The tone was contemptuous.

Xiang Ning was shocked. I don’t know how he would have fallen in love with such an ignorant woman. He coughed and said, “Tomorrow is a banquet in the palace. The prince is going to take his sister with me. I have some jewelry. ."

She clapped her hands, and a maid placed the brocade box on the table. Xiangning's jade hands were white, tender and smooth. They must have been pampered since childhood. She stretched out her hand and opened the brocade box. The dazzling array of jewelry was exquisite, and was about to be green. Pushing it, Song Lan hurriedly stepped forward to accept, and said: "The slave servant thanked the princess for the girl."

Looking sideways at her again, Qing Li nodded.

Xiangning looked at the house again and said with a smile: "My sister has lived in the prince's house since entering the mansion. Is there something wrong with it? Why should I re-arrange a house for my sister?"

Qingli was begging to leave here quickly, but Song Lan rushed in front of her and said: "Go back to the princess, the princess had previously ordered that she should not let the girl move out, and that's it."

Xiangning was frustrated. Seeing that she had moved out of Mo Mirage, she couldn't say anything more, with a slight embarrassment on her face, she only said: "It's okay, my sister lives in a comfortable place. Then I will leave first, and come again when I have time. Sister gossip." Qingli said lightly: "Well, the princess walks slowly."

But before she got up to give it away, Xiangning looked unhappy on the way back to the palace, and the maid didn't dare to say anything. She hated her and said: "She is a thing, this concubine doesn't believe that the prince will always spoil her!"

Inside, Qingli looked at the jewels and asked Xiang Songlan, "Why are you taking those things? I didn't want to ask them."

Song Lan took a tangerine on the table and gently peeled it off half of it and handed it to Qing Li, "The girl is too kind, and she has no intentions when she speaks. The princess is clearly here to provoke. If the empress refuses to accept it, she will be even more Appearing to be petty, will only make her sneer even more, then I am afraid it will be an inevitable trouble in the days to come."

Qingli ate one, and it was indeed very sweet. "I really don't want to fight with those unrelated women here. It's already annoying to face Mo Mirage every day."

Song Lan sighed: "Girl, in your opinion, the prince may be disgusting to you, but in the eyes of others, it is petting. The servant still wants to persuade the girl to stop disobeying him."

Qing Li shook his head, "Song Lan, you don't know the reason for this at all. Maybe I can only tell you that I can't forgive him in this life."

Since that day, Mo Mirage hasn't touched her again, and today I heard that he went to the princess. Lian Ye was also secretly rejoicing, at least Miss did not have to suffer those tortures anymore, and Qing Li was only thinking about how to live this life like a year.

The next day before it was clear, Song Lan woke up Qing Li, saying that she was going to prepare for entering the palace. She was reluctant, but also helpless. It seemed that in the house, she did not control her own self. , Said that, it is very sad.

A group of maids came in one after another, one by one, each piece of jinyihuafu was presented, but Qingli only picked out the purest Du Ruo color, Song Lan persuaded: "Girl, don't choose the elegant color when you enter the palace. , After all, it’s always good to follow the prince and dress more stylishly."

Lian Ye took the dress by herself, "Miss has not liked those gorgeous clothes since she was a child. Sister, please do what she likes."

There was a faint sadness in her eyes, and Songlan couldn't say more.

The two waited on her to put her clothes on, but they didn’t have a taste. Although the color was light, it looked good on Qingli's body. Songlan took the comb to comb Qingli’s hair, "Songlan, let’s comb something simpler." , It’s too complicated. I think it’s very cumbersome."

Songlan answered, and soon combed a natural and generous bun. She picked up Liuyunsu on the side and was about to put on Qingli, but Qingli pointed to the red lotus hairpin, "Han That one."

Song Lan took the red lotus hairpin on her hairpin again, "The girl's hairpin is also very unique." Lianye lowered her eyes and said, "What the girl loves with her heart is naturally good."
