Chapter 396

Liu Yuan was stunned and looked at him with tears in his eyes, "why did you ask the prime minister? What does he have to do with you? I'm talking about you. What did you ask him to do?"

Xu Hanfei shook his head with a smile. "I just asked a few questions, but I look at you. It seems that I don't think about him anymore. You've been in a bad mood since the prime minister left. Later, you're becoming more and more cheerful. I hope you forget him as soon as possible."

"I have forgotten him. I may not see him in the future," Liu Yuan sniffed. "Take care of yourself. The emperor already knows what you think. He will never let you go."

"Didn't you help me? If you hadn't told the queen, I wouldn't have done so." Xu Hanfei smiled and looked at her rabbit like eyes. "Why did you cry? I followed you first and then set a trap to deceive you. Now you give me up. It's a reward for a reward."

Liu Yuan bit his lower lip and said, "I'm not betraying you, but you have to use your mind to the people in the royal family. You still have to look at your own capital. It's the emperor and queen. It's not you and I can intervene."

Xu Hanfei was silent for a long time, leaned close to her ear and said, "do you have other ideas about me? When I saw the king leave, you weren't as sad as you are now. How could you cry in front of me like this?"

"I just feel sorry for you. After all, I still have some feelings for you after spending so long with you," Liu Yuan lifted up the burden and turned around to go out. "You continue to accompany the emperor. I'll return to Mengsi for a few days."

Xu Hanfei shouted to her and made a vague voice in his throat, "will you come back again? What you said about staying in guimeng temple for a few days is really just staying for a few days, rather than not coming back as soon as you go?"

"Of course, the palace is so comfortable that I just go out for a while. How can I not come back," Liu Yuan blinked. "You don't have to worry. Just take care of your own affairs."

Xu Hanfei followed her for a few steps and said, "Liu Yuan, you don't know how much I expected you. I thought we could be together all the time."

Feihong waited for a long time at the door of the Lingyin hall before she saw the lay come out slowly. Her eyes were red as if she had just cried, so she lowered her voice and said, "what's the matter with you, lay, why did you cry so well?"

"When I came out, I was in a hurry. The wind and sand entered my eyes without paying attention," Liu Yuan quickly lowered his head and covered up the panic in his eyes. "Let's go quickly. After such a long delay, I'm afraid it will be late when we arrive at guimeng Temple in the future."

Feihong took out his handkerchief and wiped her cheek. "You don't have to worry. My carriage is the fastest in Kyoto. Even when you arrive at guimeng temple, it's not necessarily dark. You can rest assured."

Liu Yuan answered vaguely, "what you said is, I really should rest assured that you are the people in the empress's palace. That must be the most powerful person in the whole harem."

Feihong was amused by her and hurriedly helped her into the carriage. "Monk, you're leaving now. When you'll come back, make your own decision."

The water mist in the hot spring pool is swirling, and you can't really see anything. You can only smell a long fragrance of herbs. The bottom of the pool is made of white jade and green jade, and the patterns of various flowers are carved on it. Xue ronghua stretched out a white foot and stepped on a lotus, almost sliding into the pool.

"The lay and Feihong have passed?"

Linglong nodded. "The monk dragged on in the Lingyin hall for a long time and didn't start until nearly half a night."

"It should be saying goodbye to Xu Hanfei. It must not be so simple between them. Liu Yuan took refuge from the palace. Who knows if Xu Hanfei helped her indirectly behind her," Xue ronghua slowly closed his eyes. "I've been with the monk for so long, but she still has a different heart. I can't help but wonder when I see her like this."

Linglong sprinkled the petals all over the hot spring pool, lowered her voice and asked, "I'm afraid that the empress sent Feihong to monitor the residents?"

Xue ronghua's eyes swept back, "I don't want to use the word surveillance. I just want to consider for the emperor and me. Liu Yuan is the closest to Xu Hanfei."

Linglong turned her eyes, "I understand."

"I remember you didn't seem to be a palace man. You used to be a noble lady," Xue ronghua held her hand and touched it inside. "Who are you from Chu YuanJu, king of Jin?"

"If you go back to your mother, the maidservant is Chu YuanJu's cousin, and her maiden name is Linglong," Linglong lowered her eyes. "After Chu YuanJu died, Princess Kang's family was also punished for embezzling stolen money. Therefore, the maidservant escaped beheading and came to the harem as a maid of honor."

"Which concubine did you work as a palace maid at the beginning?"

"It's imperial concubine Zhao," Linglong pressed her head very low. "After imperial concubine Zhao left, the slaves and maidservants moved in several palaces."

"No wonder the emperor recommended you to my palace. The Kang family used to have a big family and great cause. The trained daughter must be very smart," Xue ronghua smiled. "I value your presence around me. I don't have to do any chores. Just talk with me."

Linglong quickly smiled and said, "yes, the queen values slaves and maidservants and is very happy to relieve her boredom."

Xue ronghua was soaking in the warm hot spring water and couldn't help moaning comfortably, "but seeing you like this, I have other ideas for you to finish."

"Please tell the queen that even if you go up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, you must do it for the queen."

"There's no need to say such serious words. Why should I ask you to go to the knife mountain? It just takes a lot of wisdom to do this idea," Xue ronghua half narrowed his eyes, "You must know that I asked you to go undercover next to Princess Gu from Xirong until the day she left the harem. If you can complete the task I arranged for you, I will let you get rid of your servant status and become my righteous sister."

Linglong couldn't help but move in her heart as soon as she took off her identity. "As long as it's what the queen told her to do, she will try her best to finish it."

Xue ronghua lifted her pointed chin with his index finger and looked at her clean eyebrows that could not be covered by some simple clothes. "There is something like Princess Kang in your eyebrows. I think Kang is also a famous family, but he was defeated in corruption and bribery, or in not listening to the emperor."

Linglong was quick to understand, and quickly said in a deep voice: "the maidservant will listen to the queen and will absolutely be loyal to the royal family of the state of Qin. There will be no mistake."

"You said very well, and I believe you, but you don't have to be a slave. I let you get close to Princess Gu. It's not the identity of a palace maid," Xue ronghua glanced at her obliquely. "It's a pity for you to be a palace maid like this, and you don't have any convincing power. What I asked you to be is a noble lady who goes to the palace to save relatives."

Gu fan leaned over and looked at the table full of ingredients. He was worried. Even if he broke his head, he couldn't think of how to make a good dish. He held his chest and complained again and again: "It's all what you said in front of the emperor. I want to cook for the emperor. It's not that I don't know my cooking is very bad. Now it's OK. The words have been put in front of the emperor. If you don't make a decent meal, the emperor will look down on me."

"You know the emperor will look down on you in the future, so you should calm down and learn to cook from general Kur. Don't complain here," Chu Changqing sighed helplessly. "You didn't want to learn to cook when you were a child. Didn't you think you would cook when you married your husband?"

"I didn't know I would marry the emperor. I thought I could marry you when I grew up," Gu Gu grumbled reluctantly. "You would never ask me to cook and wash your hands for you."

"You should keep your voice down. This is the Imperial Palace, not Xirong. Your princess's house," Chu Changqing narrowed his eyes dangerously and glanced out of the window. "There are eyes everywhere here. If others know and tell the emperor, it won't end well. You see, the general and Jiewu husband are all cooking. How can you not be a woman."

Seeing that the princess's mouth was pouting higher and higher, general Kur could not help but say, "I can cook because my wife and daughters can't do it. I don't want them to work hard. I just learned to cook for them. The princess has been spoiled since childhood. Even if not, there's nothing. Just study hard with me."

Gu Gu pursed his lips and said angrily, "it's too difficult for me. Why don't you tell the emperor that I can ride a horse and shoot arrows, so that I can show the emperor without learning to mount a horse. Do you still need to learn?"

Chu Changqing said positively, "the emperor asked you to come to the state of Qin to be the queen of the state of Qin, not to fight in the state of Qin. As the emperor's wife, you naturally want to cook good dishes. What do you do with riding and archery? Do you want to ride and archery to be the queen?"

General Kur brought up a plate of meat balls that had just been fried. Gu Gu had been working here for a long time. He had been hungry for a long time. He quickly put some into his mouth and chewed a few times. He said vaguely, "I really won't do it. I don't want to deceive you. It's better to let general Kur do it for me on the day the emperor came. The emperor won't really go to the back kitchen to see if I did it."

"You think it's wonderful. Do you think the emperor won't be suspicious," Chu Changqing shook his head and sighed. "When the emperor asks you what dish is made at the dinner table, I think you should answer him."

"It's also easy to do. General Kur will do all the dishes well. I won't be afraid of him asking this and that when I look around," Gu Gu blinked and pushed the general with his elbow. "General, do you agree? Tell me the recipe of cooking. The emperor will never doubt it."

Chu Changqing rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said tired, "you are really powerful. If the Emperor sees it, he will have to tease you several times to see how you meet people."

"How can I meet people? I think the emperor is nice to me and always smiles, just like he knew me before," Gu Chui smiled soothingly at him. "Don't worry, the emperor will never embarrass me, but why don't you believe me like that."

"Your cooking almost poisoned a mouse just now. How can I trust you," said Chu Changqing, bending his lips. "Forget it, it's your own business. I'll let you go."
