"Is the princess feeling better?"
After many days, Shen Qingwan put down the handkerchief in her hand with worry in her eyes.
"To answer your majesty, the princess is fine now." Lianyun smiled. Her majesty was always so kind. When she lowered her head, she suddenly saw the unfinished handkerchief on the table. She blinked in surprise, "Your majesty's needlework is getting better and better!"
I remember that the flowers embroidered by the Empress were still crooked some time ago, but now she has made some progress.
But no wonder, she has been taking some time every day to embroider these days.
"Are you teasing me, your queen, again?" Shen Qingwan glared at her coquettishly. Ever since she had embroidered for the emperor, she had indeed become more and more attentive.
In this deep palace, there is really a lot of free time. In the past, I could practice my skills at home, but in the palace, it is a bit inappropriate.
"You go and see the princess. I should still be cooking porridge in the kitchen. Bring it to the princess." After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that it was because of the porridge that he was implicated last time. He smiled bitterly and became a little hesitant.
“Oh…” I wanted to tell Lianyun to forget it, but when I looked up, I found that the person in front of me had already left.
Never mind, even if it was the last time, she was just worrying too much. I don't know if it's because I got married, but I always feel that I have become more and more nosy recently.
Put aside all distracting thoughts and concentrate on embroidering the flowers.
"Please tell them that the virtuous concubine sent me here."
Lianyun felt a little confused when she saw the maid guarding the door, but after all, the princess had just had an accident not long ago, so she guessed that was why the maid was changed.
"Come in!" After a long time, the princess' voice came from inside the door. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be some hesitation in the princess' voice.
But after all, he was not my master, so I didn't care too much and put it out of my mind.
"Greetings to the princess." Lianyun bowed with a smile in her eyes, "Is the princess feeling better these days? My queen is very worried about you, so she sent me to come and see you."
A hint of surprise flashed across Fu Xinyan's eyes, but it was replaced by panic in just a moment. "Empress Xianfei?" She spoke with some doubt, clutching the quilt tightly with both hands, and her eyes occasionally glanced at the bowl in Lianyun's hand.
Lianyun nodded and responded, "Yes, the queen also asked me to bring over the princess' favorite lotus seed porridge." Lianyun had a proud look on her face. She was very proud of her queen's cooking skills. This porridge was cooked by the queen herself. Apart from anything else, the taste of this porridge was absolutely unforgettable.
"This porridge..." Fu Xinyan subconsciously wanted to reach out to take it, but at this moment she heard the maid beside her cough lightly, "Ahem..."
The two of them looked over at her, and the maid didn't shy away from it at all. She just bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Princess. I think I was caught in the wind outside just now, and my throat is a little uncomfortable for a while."
Lianyun did not feel that there was anything wrong with the maid's words. After all, she and Shen Qingwan were not shy about anything, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was very good.
"Put the porridge there for now." Fu Xinyan smiled awkwardly, her facial muscles a little stiff, "Go back and tell Concubine Xian that there's no need to worry."
Lian Yun was stunned by her words. She couldn't understand this princess. There was clearly desire in her eyes, but she still refused. She pouted and left.
However, before she had taken a few steps, she heard a "pop" sound behind her. Lianyun was startled and turned around to see the bowl of porridge being thrown out and falling to the ground.
"My princess said, go back and tell your queen that she doesn't need to pretend to be kind to her in the future!" The maid held the door with both hands, a provocative smile on her lips.
"You!" Lianyun was a little angry. Her mother had asked her to deliver porridge with good intentions. How could they do this!
Suddenly, she felt wronged. She felt sorry for her mother. She gritted her teeth, turned around and ran back, her eyes slightly red.
Shen Qingwan was startled to see Lianyun coming back, and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Did the princess make things difficult for you?" She frowned, comforted her, and asked about what happened.
Lianyun knelt on the ground in anger, "My Lady, I beg you to stop caring about that princess!"
"Get up and talk." Seeing her like this, she knew that she must have been wronged. She was worried and confused about what had happened.
"You were kind enough to give her the porridge, but not only did she not thank you, she even asked the servants to throw the porridge out!" Whenever she thought about it, she felt very aggrieved.
Shen Qingwan didn't care much about it, but she was disappointed and a little suspicious.
I don’t know if she looked like this because he misunderstood her and really wanted to harm her, or maybe she was still upset. After all, she was just a nine-year-old child.
"Forget it, Lianyun. The princess must be in a bad mood. Don't take it too seriously." She comforted him softly, but her worry grew even more.
Fu Xinyan stared blankly at the door. That bowl of porridge was her favorite lotus seed porridge. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and slid down her cheeks.
"Princess, have you forgotten what the Queen said?" After the maid closed the door, she no longer looked like a maid. She calmly looked at Fu Xinyan crying on the bed.
"I..." She raised her head and sobbed, staring at the maid with grievance. She had always been the one bullying others since she was a child, but now...
"Princess, you'd better pack up quickly. The Queen asked you to go there to find her later." The maid reminded her when she saw that her tears had almost stopped.
Fu Xinyan was stunned and was about to refuse, but then she nodded as if she remembered something, like a puppet.
After the maid changed her clothes, she smiled soothingly and said, "Princess, don't worry. Just be good and I will return the thing to you."
"Okay, I understand." She responded with her head down, her voice slightly hoarse. She seemed to have matured a lot in an instant, but the fear in her eyes could not be concealed no matter what.
"Let's go. It will be dark if we don't leave now." Seeing that she was still standing there in a daze, the maid urged her impatiently and reached out to grab her sleeve, but Fu Xinyan subconsciously flicked her sleeve and made her stumble.
“You…” The maid steadied herself, but when she met his calm eyes, she didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Didn't you say you were leaving?" Fu Xinyan smiled, and the expression on her face was inexplicably chilling. "Let's go." After saying that, she walked out of the room without paying any attention to the maid following her.
