Chapter 64: Concubine Li

The banquet was carried out in an orderly manner in the sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music, and the royal family and nobles were all smiling and chatting happily during the banquet.

The palace is no better than anywhere else, and whoever always has a bitter face is likely to cause unexpected trouble for himself. There were once people who were accused of disrespecting the emperor because of their sad faces at the banquet, and finally ended up in a different place. Although it was the first time for Lin Qing to enter the palace, he did not dare to indulge in his behavior, and always maintained a proper and shallow smile on his face.

"Your Highness, the noble concubine Niangniang invites you to Heshou Palace." A woman dressed as a palace maid walked up to Lu Chengxuan and whispered.

Lu Chengxuan turned around and cast a look at Lin Qing to signal her to relax, "You wait for me here first, and I'll come when I go." ”

There is no need to guess that Lin Qing also knows that the concubine in the mouth of the palace maid is Lu Chengxuan's biological mother, Shu Guifei, and the concubine did not appear at the banquet for some reason today, so she will send someone to invite Lu Chengxuan to discuss with him in the past!

As soon as Lu Chengxuan left, Lin Qing was immediately a little at a loss. She didn't know half of her acquaintances in the palace, and Fu Bo and Jiang Shao didn't know where they went, so Lin Qing, who was bored, had no choice but to focus on the second prince Lu Chengxiu. His task this time is to gain Lu Chengxuan's trust to get information about Lu Chengxiu, if he doesn't know about Lu Chengxiu, it will definitely not be easy to start the task. Thinking of this, Lin Qing decided to take the risk to explore Lu Chengxiu's characteristic character.

His eyes swept over the tea soup and wine placed on the wooden table, and Lin Qing suddenly had a plan in his heart. After Lu Chengxuan left, Lu Chengxiu also got up and walked away, Lin Qing quietly picked up the tea cup on the table and followed Lu Chengxiu.

Seeing that the distance between himself and Lu Chengxiu was getting closer and closer, Lin Qing pretended to accidentally let go of the tea cup in his hand, and a cup of tea splashed on Lu Chengxiu's clothes.

"Ahh Lin Qing suddenly exclaimed, and Lu Chengxiu also fell his eyes on Lin Qing because of the tea that suddenly spilled on his body.

"Bold! Dare to be disrespectful to the second prince, don't kneel down quickly! Without waiting for Lu Chengxiu to speak, a eunuch standing beside Lu Chengxiu shouted sharply.

Lin Qing entered the palace today as Lu Chengxuan's personal maid, so he was wearing a maid's clothes at the moment, which looked very simple in a crowd of exquisite and gorgeous palace clothes. Her appearance was not outstanding among the women in the palace, and she was originally not very noticeable, but at this time, the eyes of everyone at the banquet fell on her.

"The slave and maid bumped into the prince with a clumsy hand, and asked the prince to forgive him." Lin Qing knelt down towards Lu Chengxiu in an instant, his face full of regret.

"Clumsy? My third brother has never left anyone clumsy around! If you dare to hit the prince with your idea, you can be regarded as a bold person. However, bold people often need to pay a little price for their actions......" Lu Chengxiu casually brushed the water stains on his clothes, and whispered close to Lin Qing's ear.

Lin Qing was shocked by Lu Chengxiu's words, and the reason why she dared to splash tea on Lu Chengxiu was that she decided that Lu Chengxiu would not care about herself because of her face. After all, today's banquet is unusual, no matter what status people are, they pay extra attention to their words and deeds, if Lu Chengxiu wants to gain a reputation for tolerance and generosity, he will definitely not worry about a little girl with such a humble status as himself.

But Lin Qing made a lot of calculations, but he missed the antagonistic relationship between Lu Chengxiu and Lu Chengxuan. Presumably Lu Chengxiu had already noticed her who had been standing behind Lu Chengxuan, but he didn't take her to heart, and he didn't expect her to bump into Lu Chengxiu by herself!

"Second prince, slave maid ......" Lin Qing opened his mouth to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start for a while. Lu Chengxiu and Lu Chengxuan are not on harmony, maybe he will want to dispose of himself to block Lu Chengxuan.

"What's the use of such a rude keeping her? Someone didn't come soon to take her to the Criminal Division, and let the grandmothers there teach her the rules well! Lu Chengxiu said coldly.

Lin Qing couldn't help but be a little flustered in her heart, Lu Chengxuan didn't even have half a backer in her absence, who else could help her get out of trouble now? Lin Qing couldn't help but regret that he was too rash, but he didn't dare to act rashly. After all, he is in the palace, and his every move cannot escape the eyes of the palace guards, although he has martial arts, he is definitely not the opponent of those guards.

Just before Lin Qing was entangled and bored, an extremely familiar female voice suddenly came into Lin Qing's ears.

After living with this woman in Zhangfu for half a year in Muhe Town, Lin Qing has long been familiar with her voice. Lin Qing was already surprised by the chance glimpse of her figure when he entered the palace, and it was even more surprising to hear her speak.

"Husband, why bother to surrender your identity and worry about a lowly maid, you don't have to make people laugh." The delicate female voice sounded in an instant, and in an instant, most of everyone's attention was diverted.

Lin Qing wanted to call her name, but she moved her lips but still didn't say anything. What she didn't expect was that after two months of separation, Zhang Qiuli seemed to be reborn and was very different from the past.

In the past, she was rude, mean, impetuous and vulgar, and always tried her best to torture Ziyan, which also made Lin Qing disgusted her. But today, her every move reveals a gentle and calm demeanor, and she is not the same person as she was in the past.

"Concubine Li mean, let me spare this girl?" Lu Chengxiu half-narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Qiuli.

Zhang Qiuli's expression was extremely indifferent, and her eyes only glanced at Lin Qing and then fell on Lu Chengxiu's body. "The concubines don't dare to sway their husbands' thoughts, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival Night Banquet, which means reunion and beauty, and it is always a little inappropriate to see the blood."

Lu Chengxiu looked at Zhang Qiuli and then at Lin Qing who was kneeling on the ground, and finally decided to let Lin Qing go first. "That's it, I didn't mean to think of you, this prince will sell Concubine Li a face and spare your life!"

"Thank you for the magnanimity of the second prince for forgiving the slaves! Thank you Concubine Li, who is kind and kind to speak for the slave! For fear that Lu Chengxiu would regret it, Lin Qing hurriedly said.

Lu Chengxiu's eyes looked Lin Qing up and down, and he didn't speak anymore, only led Zhang Qiuli to walk away quickly.

Originally, Lin Qing was surprised when he met Zhang Qiuli again, but he didn't expect her to speak for herself, which made Lin Qing both a little moved and a little flustered.

What happened to Zhang Qiuli in the past two months? How can a person's personality be completely transformed? It's just that what Lin Qing didn't know was that Zhang Qiuli was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger when she was in Zhangfu in Muhe Town, originally just to let Xu Huiping relax her vigilance, but she didn't expect to leave an extremely bad impression in front of others.

Judging from today's situation, Zhang Qiuli should have become Lu Chengxiu's concubine, and Lu Chengxiu seems to be very kind to her.
