When Qingtao went downstairs, she saw Ah Hu follow a guard into the small courtyard and go upstairs. She didn't say anything, let go of the side, and the moment she passed by Ah Hu, she glanced at Ah Hu.

Seeing that Qingtao's eyes were red, Ah Hu showed a little surprise, and just about to speak, Qingtao shook her head quietly. Ah Hu closed his mouth knowingly and followed the guard.

Qingtao went downstairs and went straight back. By the time she walked into the courtyard, she had regained her composure.

The light was on in the study, and Cao Miao was reading at the desk. Qingtao walked in and sat quietly on her knees. Cao Miao glanced at her, then withdrew her gaze and landed on the book again.

"Have you eaten it?"

"The king inquired, just returned."

"Let's go eat first." Cao Miao said lightly: "There are only two big things in life: eating, sleeping, and everything else is a small thing. ”

Qingtao listened, answered, turned around and went out, and returned to her room. Hongxing had finished eating, and was sitting on the side to practice female red, when she saw Qingtao coming in, she put down female red, greeted her, and asked with a smile: "Sister, have you made meritorious service?" ”

Qing Tao was puzzled. Hongxing opened the food box on the table, revealing the dinner that had not been moved, and laughed happily.

"Look, there's meat."

Qingtao was also a little surprised, the dinner was more than she imagined. Life in the Yongqiu Palaces has always been difficult, even the King of Yongqiu himself is rare to eat meat, and only Cao Miao can be guaranteed for food in the mansion, and there is only a bowl of meat every five days. She and the red apricots usually only have meat to eat during the holidays, and only a few thin slices.

Today's dinner not only has meat, but also two kinds of meat: one is meat soup and the other is roasted meat, and the portion is quite a lot.

"Who sent it?"

"Madame arranged for someone to send it. She also said that in the future, our monthly income will rise to 100. "The red apricot's eyes were full of excitement." A hundred, alas, I can buy a lot of things, I don't even know how to spend it. ”

Qing Tao couldn't help but laugh out loud. She beckoned Hongxing to sit down and eat. Hongxing was already hungry, but she didn't want to eat it alone, so she had been waiting for Qingtao, and as soon as she heard about eating, she immediately closed her mouth and looked at the meat in the bowl.

Qingtao took a wooden bowl, first scooped a bowl of soup for the red apricot, watched the red apricot drink in small sips, and then scooped a bowl for himself. The meat soup is delicious and should be fresh meat, not aged and air-dried. This kind of treatment is rare, and it should be divided from the meat that entertained Chen Liutaishou and his party, or it is simply leftover.

From Chen Liutaishou to Gao Xun, and then to Gao Xun's half of the finger that was bitten off by Cao Miao, the green peach was a little disgusting, and the delicious meat soup lost its taste. She put down the bowl and glanced at the study opposite from the corner of her eye, and glanced at Cao Miao, who was sitting in front of the bookcase reading.

After dinner, he told Hongxing to wash the dishes and go to bed early, and Qingtao returned to the study.

Cao Miao was still studying, and Qingtao told Cao Zhi what happened to him.

Cao Miao listened quietly. Cao Zhi sent someone to call Qingtao and Ah Hu over, thinking that it was nothing more than these things. He also wanted to take the opportunity to see how Qingtao and Ah Hu would respond. It is true that these two people are his side, but they are far from being confidants, there are many things, they don't know, Cao Zhi can't ask anything.

The only thing that could go wrong was the Jade Owl Seal, but he had no other choice.

"If you reply like that, the king will doubt your loyalty." After Qingtao finished speaking, Cao Miao put down the book in his hand and looked directly at Qingtao. "If there is anything in the future, the king is afraid that he will not tell you, and he will not help you take revenge."

Qingtao lowered her head. "The servant knows." She paused, and then said, "If the prince chooses to be different from the king, and the servant chooses one of the two, it is better to choose the prince to have a better chance of success." ”

"Then you can only follow me, one way to the dark. Are you ready? ”

"The maidservant has made up her mind, and she is willing to die for the prince."

The corners of Cao Miao's mouth were slightly raised. "How does the soup taste at night?"

Qingtao remembered that she had only eaten half a bowl of meat soup, and her mood was very complicated. "Very good, Prince Xie gives food."

"Let's get rid of this." Cao Miao took a small bloodstained paper bag from under the case and pushed it in front of Qingtao. Qingtao looked at it and knew that it was Gao Xun's half of the severed finger, and his chest suddenly turned over and over, and the sour smell rushed to his throat. She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, didn't care about saluting, turned around and rushed out of the study, squatted down by the ditch under the porch, and vomited.

Cao Miao glanced at the paper bag on the case, and couldn't help grinning, his mouth was very unpleasant.

When the green peach was almost vomited, Cao Miao picked up the paper bag, opened the window, called "green peach", and threw the paper bag over. Qingtao subconsciously caught it, and when she held it in her hand, she reacted, squatting in the ditch again and vomiting, vomiting pale, tears flowing, and embarrassed.

Ah Hu walked in quickly, saw Qingtao squatting on the edge of the ditch retching, a little puzzled, approached to look at Qingtao, and whispered: "Happy?" ”

Qingtao glared at him fiercely, picked up the paper bag at his feet, and stuffed it into Ah Hu's hand. Ah Hu took it, opened it and took a look, wrapped it up again as if nothing happened, and asked persistently, "When is it?" Have you ever seen it with a stable woman? ”

Qingtao was ashamed and annoyed, and shouted: "Get out! ”

Ah Hu muttered a few words, walked up to the hall quickly, walked into the study, and said happily: "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince." ”

Cao Miao was inexplicable. "What's the joy of?"

"The green peach is happy, and the prince will soon have an heir."

Cao Miao looked at the excited and inexplicable Ah Hu in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while. Is this kid smart or stupid, seeing vomiting is pregnant, don't you know what that thing is in your hand?

"Uh-huh, throw that thing away." Cao Miao pointed to the paper bag in Ah Hu's hand.

"What a pity to throw it away. Later, give it to Lao Song, let him marinate it with lime, and find a chance to return it to the surnamed Gao in the future. Prince, don't you know, today to see the surname Gao rolling on the ground, how happy Lao Song is. ”

"What's so fun about this?"

"Hehe, prince, it's not once or twice that this surnamed Gao has bullied the palace. Since Emperor Wen ascended the throne, scholars have become majestic, especially these children of the family, after reading for a few days and knowing a few sentences of poetry, they feel that they are superior. When it comes to reading, can they still compare with the king? It's not that he relies on his illustrious family background and doesn't take others seriously. I heard people say that this surname Gao criticized the royal family behind his back, saying that Qian Pei was only a famous man at Xiahou Taichu, and the others were not worth mentioning. ”

"Wait." Cao Miao interrupted Ah Hu. "Who did you listen to? When did you hear about it? Tell me more about it. ”

Ah Hu thought for a moment. "Forget."

Cao Miao jumped up, kicked Ah Hu down, and scolded: "You should remember, you can't remember." You shouldn't remember it, but you remember it clearly. ”
